8vo, br. ed. 336pp. Since earliest times food has encompassed so much more than just what we eat – whole societies can be revealed and analysed by their cusines. In this wide-ranging book, leading historians from Europe and America piece together from a myriad sources the culinary accomplishments of diverse civilizations, past and present, and the pleasures of dining. Ten chapters cover the food and taste of the hunter-gatherers and first farmers of Prehistory; the rich Mediterranean cultures of Ancient Greece and Rome; the development of gastronomy in Imperial China; Medieval Islamic cuisine; European food in the Middle Ages; the decisive changes in food fashions after the Renaissance; the effect of the Industrial Revolution on what people ate; the rise to dominance of French cuisine in the 19th and 20th centuries; the evolution of the restaurant; the contemporary situation where everything from slow to fast food vies for our attention. Throughout, the entertaining story of worldwide food traditions provides the ideal backdrop to today’s roaming the globe for great gastronomic experiences.

8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.512. China is the most exciting rising power in the world today. The explosive growth of its economy and the possibility that it might soon become the next superpower, dominant in East Asia and influential in every part of the world, has attracted universal interest, admiration and envy. Most histories of China approach that huge and populous country through the story of its dynasties, its struggle to defend its borders and its internal politics. Harry Gelber's "The Dragon and the Foreign Devils" is the first history for the general reader to tell the story of China from the outside as well as from the inside. It explores the relationships involved, from the incursions into China of steppe horsemen around 200 BC to the Mongol conquests of the thirteenth century AD, from the first arrival of European travellers to China's decline, after 1911, into an object of the policies of the major powers, and on to the Revolution on 1949 and the Tienanmen Square protest in 1989. It explains what moved these minor and major foreign societies and how concerns with China fitted into their own major interests and views of the world. And, it outlines the recurring cycles of Chinese history, from turmoil and disorder to strong central government and back to turmoil. Informative text boxes elaborate on particular people, topics or key moments to complement the main narrative. These mini-essays deal with a wide range of topics from 'Confucius' and 'Concubines' to 'Tea' and 'Silk', and from the debilitating influence of the last nineteenth-century empress, 'Cixi', to the decisive influence on the 1941-45 Pacific War of the US Navy's ability to read 'Japanese naval codes'; and from 'Madame Chiang's' glamour to 'Mao's Sexual Habits'.

8vo, br. ed. L'Europe, en particulier la France, a de tout temps entretenu avec la Chine une relation passionnelle alternant des moments d'engouements et des accès d'hostilité. Au gré d'une confrontation des écrits produits sur la Chine à diverses époques (Lettres des jésuites arrivés en Chine au XVIIe siècle, articles des philosophes des Lumières, littérature maoïste, ouvrages représentatifs actuels) se dessinent certaines inclinations, tantôt révélatrices des passions d'une époque, tantôt symptomatiques de penchants plus profonds. De formation sinologique, Claude Geoffroy, actuellement interprète en langue chinoise près la Cour d'Appel de Reims, est l'auteure de plusieurs ouvrages ("Pékin" Larousse, 1988 ; "Le mouvement indépendantiste taiwanais, ses origines et son développement depuis 1945", L'Harmattan, 1997 ; "Les universalismes chinois et européen, Dialogue sous le ciel", L'Harmattan, 2015) ; elle a par ailleurs traduit en français les conférences tenues en 1935 par le plus grand avocat d'une occidentalisation de la Chine ("Chen Xujing, l'Avenir de la culture chinoise" ; L'Harmattan, 2018),
