University of North Carolina Press 2025 The University of North Carolina Press 240 Pinto, Maria Paperback / softback

Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless - Maria Pinto Naturalist, forager, and educator Maria Pinto offers a stunning debut book that uncovers strange and beautiful fungal connections between the natural and human worlds. She mingles reportage, research, memoir, and nature writing, touching on topics that range from Black farmersâ€™ domestication of the unforgettable aroma of truffles to the history of mycological poisons wielded by enslaved people against their enslavers. Pinto brings a new perspective and a distinctive literary voice to this mix of environmental and lived history, and every page sings with her enthusiasm for the networks in which we are embedded: fungal, ecological, ancestral, and communal. Join her in pursuit of beautiful, perplexing, delicious, and deadly mushrooms as she explores this understudied kingdomâ€™s awe-inspiring diversity and discovers how fungi have been used by people, especially those on the margins, for survival, pleasure, revelation, and revolution. z kategorie Knihy | Cizojazyčná literatura | English literature od The University of North Carolina Press naleznete ne e-shopu KnihyDobrovsky.cz!
