The ease with which the grocery supply chain can now be managed through software and mobile devices has driven an explosion of invest- ment in food and grocery e-commerce startups—close to $500 million in the past year. That’s helped spawn growth in the farm-to-table niche—and in its East Coast epicenter, Brooklyn. Competition has grown so intense among local-food delivery firms and entrenched players like FreshDirect that one Brooklyn startup, Farmigo, recently switched its focus from the boroughs to the suburbs. Experts say a historic shift in the formerly sleepy sector is taking place as a result of new technology meeting pent-up demand. “Distribution has always been the biggest problem for the local-food movement,” said Carlotta Mast, senior director of content at New Hope Natural Media, which covers the natural foods industry. The startups bring an Amazon.com-like user experience to the traditional farmers See FARM-TO-TABLE on Page 29 YES, HE DELIVERS: SALES$620B OF GROCERIES $56.9BSALES OF ORGANIC $486MAMOUNT VENTURE Benzi Ronen has nationwide in 2013 and natural foods CAPITALISTS invested in shifted Farmigo’s nationwide in 2013 grocery e-commerce focus to the suburbs, companies in the year though the company is ended March 31 headquartered in Brooklyn.

    BOOK REVIEW Brian E. Penprase, The Power of the Stars (Second Edition) Cham, Switzerland: Springer (2017). English, 350 pp., with colour illustrations. e-Book, ISBN: 978-3-319-52597-6. £31.99. Hardcover, ISBN: 978-3-319-52595-2. £39.99. Liz Henty University of Wales Trinity Saint David [email protected] This book’s title, The Power of the Stars, is a slight misnomer, as its content encompasses all the celestial objects in the sky including the Sun, the Moon and the planets as well as the eponymous stars of both hemispheres. Brian Penprase’s first edition in 2010 was more aptly titled The Power of the Stars: How Celestial Observations Have Shaped Civiliza- tion, because the volume is really a beginner’s guide to cultural astronomy. The reason given for this update is that new tools have been developed both in astronomy and archaeology which have led to greater understanding of the importance of the sky. The clues are often “subtle and ambiguous” (p. 2) and archaeoastronomy is tasked with reconstructing ancient cosmologies using a range of different methodologies. As Penprase points out: “The night sky calls to us and over the years humans responded with their star tales, their monuments” (p. 2). Within the book’s many pages are contained numerous and various examples of this very human response to the sky, not just across millennia but also from around the world. The book is neatly organised into ten chapters, beginning with Chapter 1, “Our Experience of the Sky and Star Knowledge”, with the penultimate Chapter 9 before the “Concluding Thoughts” being “The Development of Modern Cosmology”, which takes us to present-day astrophysics.

  • The Ambum Stone Papua New Guinea, 1,500 BCE
    Prehistoric Art Running Horned Woman Algeria, ca. 6,000-4,000 BCE. This early rock painting is thousands of years older than the first African sculptures. It represents a running woman with body paint, raffia skirt, and horned headgear, apparently in a ritual context. She has a more well-defined outline of the human body, and it has more visual detail (such as the dots on the body-shoulders, legs, torso) than the other paleolithic paintings that we have seen. Also, is it a cave painting of a human, whereas the earlier paleolithic paintings were mostly of animals. Due to the combination of animal and human in the ceremonial headgear here, scholars suggest that she represents some form of supernatural diety. PREHISTORIC ART Running Horned Woman. Tassili n’Ajjer, Algeria, c. 6000-4000 BCE, pigment on rock A 7,000 year-old painting from Tassili n’Ajjer in southeastern Algeria in the central Sahara (at that time a verdant savannah) is one of the earliest and finest surviving examples of rock art. The painter depicted a running woman with convincing animation and significant detail. The dotted marks on her shoulders, legs ,and torso probably indicate she is wearing body paint applied for a ritual. PREHISTORIC ART The white parallel patterns attached to her arm and waist probably represent flowing raffia decorations and a raffia skirt. Horns are also part of her ceremonial attire- shown, as typically in prehistoric art, in the twisted perspective, or composite view, that is, seen from the front even though on a profile head. Notably, the artist painted this detailed image over a field of much smaller painted human beings, an example of why it is often so difficult to date and interpret art on rock surfaces, as subsequent superimpositions are frequent.
