Richard Pope takes a hard look at Judaeo-Christian and ancient Greek thought to demonstrate how the emergence of anthropocentrism and belittling of nature led to our present-day ecologi- cal dilemma. Striking images of cultural artifacts – many little-known – together with extensive discussion of art, music, literature, and religion illustrate the para- dox in our contemporary relationship to the natural world. Humanity, in moving from its paleolithic ori- gins to modern times, has simultaneously distanced it- self from and disenchanted nature. Suggesting that the replacement of an animistic worldview with a mechanistic one has led humans to deny their animality, Flight from Grace calls on readers to appreciate how our past relationship with birds might help transform our current relationship with nature. 2 mqup.ca spring 2021 FOOD STUDIES • CANADIAN HISTORY Mrs Dalgairns’s Kitchen Rediscovering “The Practice of Cookery” edited by mary f. williamson With modern recipes by Elizabeth Baird A nineteenth-century cookbook fusing elements of Acadian, Indian, Mi’kmaq, and Scottish cuisine offers readers a taste of the past, along with exciting recipes newly adapted for the modern kitchen.
