"Adventures in Eating" is the first book intended to prepare anthropology students for the uncomfortable dining situations they may encounter over the course of their careers. Using their own experiences with unfamiliar--and sometimes unappealing--food practices and customs, the contributors explore how these moments can produce new understandings of culture and the meaning of food.

This Blue Hollow is the first comprehensive account of the early history of Estes Park, Colorado, the "gem of the Rockies." In this enthralling narrative, James H. Pickering traces the development of Estes Park as a mountain resort community, from the time of its first recorded discovery by Joel Estes in 1859 to the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915.
