As recent years have witnessed a strong interest in the cultural representation of the culinary, ranging from analyses of food representation in film and literature to cultural readings of recipes, menus, national cuisines and celebrity chefs, the study of food narratives amidst contemporary consumer culture has become increasingly more important. This book seeks to respond to the challenge by presenting a series of case studies dealing with the representation of food and the culinary in a variety of cultural texts including post-colonial and popular fiction, women’s magazines and food writing. The contributors to the first part of the volume explore the various functions of food in post-colonial writing ranging from Salman Rushdie and Anita Desai to Zadie Smith and Maggie Gee in the context of globalization and multiculturalism. In the second part of the volume the focus is on two genres of popular fiction, the romantic novel and science fiction. While the romantic novels of Joanne Harris, for instance, link food and cooking with female empowerment, in science fiction food is connected with power and technology. The essays in the third part of the book explore the role of food in travel writing, women’s magazines and African American cookery books, showing how issues of gender, nation and race are present in food narratives.

The need for assurance is never more acute than in times of turbulence and uncertainty. The events following the financial market crisis demonstrate the catastrophic consequence of risk taking that exceeds the board’s appetite, and of not joining up risk intelligence for sound decision making. Boards and senior management alike consistently seek the ’one truth’ about risk exposures and strength of controls but are continuing to grapple with the challenge. Much has been written about assurance and the governance of risks, but mainly by those who provide it - such as internal auditors, accountants and information security technologists - for the purpose of advancing their professional practices. Less is written for or by those in governance who need assurance for the effective discharge of their responsibilities. Regulations do not usually go beyond acknowledging its importance and rely on those in the boardroom to get it right. Studies have consistently shown the link between weak corporate governance and corporate failures. The lack of reliable assurance has often been a factor. Assurance, as an integral part of corporate governance, cannot be taken for granted. It requires conscious action across the organisation. It is time to rethink assurance beyond its usual functional boundaries, to focus on what matters to the business and how discussions in the board room can be better supported by more joined up assurance. This book provides practical guidance for those who need that support as well as those who deliver assurance.

The Handbook of Language Mapping aims to explore the core methodological and theoretical approaches of linguistic cartography. In both empirical and theoretical linguistics, the spatial variation of language is of increasing interest and the visualization of language in space is therefore also of growing significance. It is the precondition for correct data interpretation. But how does it work? What has to be considered when drawing a map? And how has the problem been tackled so far? This book provides answers to such questions by taking a closer look at the theoretical issues surrounding cartography and at the concrete practice of mapping. The fundamental issues raised are addressed particularly well, since linguistic geography is not only one of the domains with a lengthy tradition, it is also one of the most progressive fields in linguistics. At the same time, because of their visual primacy, linguistic maps directly confront the challenges of human perception and aesthetics. In this context, envisioning the fruits of language mapping is a fascinating and inspiring endeavor, not just for experts. With its accessible texts and wealth of full-color images, the handbook not only represents a comprehensive manual serving the interests of a variety of readers, it also fills a gap in the ongoing linguistic discourse.

This book traces the various configurations of food as hunger, desire, and appetite which point to the complex dialectic of consumption and consummation of ideas and forms underpinning the arts. It examines the relationship between nature and science, space and the act of artistic creation, desire and the arts, appetite and hunger. One of the aims of the book is to explore established theoretical and historical conceptions of “nature” in the arts and re-think their relationship to appetite in the globalized world. Examining the many guises and figurations of hunger in literature and the arts, this book gives an overview of the themes that emerge from the idea of the Hunger Artist alongside the fact of food: the latter’s significance as a barometer of social class; its rich source as a metaphor in literature and art; its unequal distribution throughout the world; and the means by which its consumption can lead to gluttony and further exploitation of the “hungry.” One of the great strengths of this book is the trans-disciplinary nature of the contributions achieved by mapping how the arts in their representation of social, psychological, political, and philosophical perspectives draw attention to the problems associated with excessive human cravings.

"Obesity is a multifactorial neurobehavioural disease, which is currently a leading risk factor for mortality worldwide. Weight gain is attributed primarily to overconsumption of foods that are cheap and abundant in the modern environment. The neural processes leading to optimal food intake need to be understood in order to estimate abnormalities in obesity. It is thought that there are three interrelated neural systems that interact with the environment to influence dietary decisions and food intake in humans. The first one is the homeostatic system, where peripheral peptides such as ghrelin interact with the hypothalamus to communicate energy balance information. However, homeostatic hunger does not alone drive food craving and intake, and can be overridden by hedonic aspects of foods and their related cues that activate the appetitive system. This second system is thought to encode and update value of cues associated with food reward, largely via dopamine. The third, or self-control system engages processes including inhibitory control and value modulation to regulate food craving and intake to meet health-related goals, habits and other factors. Overeating and weight gain are partly attributed to overreactive appetitive system and blunted self-control system, which is reflected in a personality trait, Uncontrolled Eating that predicts body mass index and food intake.This thesis primarily aimed to modulate the homeostatic and self-control networks to test directly how the systems interact with one another to influence eating-related behaviours in healthy humans. In the first study, participants were administered ghrelin, a homeostatic orexigenic signal known to stimulate dopamine, to test the role of the hormone on food-odour learning in the brain. We observed behaviourally that ghrelin enhanced conditioning specific to food cues, which was associated with activation in dopaminergic brain regions. The second study took a meta-analytic approach to identify brain regions consistently involved in eating-specific self-control, and their relation to body mass index. It was revealed that neuroimaging tasks of dietary self-control mainly tap into value modulation and/or inhibitory control, which engage both common and distinctive neural networks. The third study used transcranial magnetic stimulation to modulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a brain region engaged during food-craving regulation, to examine its role in food decision making in individuals with high and low scores on a questionnaire assessing Uncontrolled Eating. We found that the high Uncontrolled-Eating group compared to the low exhibited greater activation during food-craving regulation in some brain regions (including the stimulation target) and networks known to subserve self-control. Moreover, stimulation effects on food decisions were present only in the high Uncontrolled-Eating group.The thesis utilized modulation approaches to observe interactions among the neural systems involved in appetite control. By doing so, it complemented findings of modulatory animal research and correlational studies that are most commonly performed in humans. The results confirm the impacts of the homeostatic and self-control systems on food cue learning and computation via the appetitive system. However, the extent of influence of the self-control system on the appetitive system appears to depend on a personality trait related to obesity, which may suggest that individuals at risk for obesity may be characterized by differential responsivity of their appetite control networks to stimulation and during food value modulation. The work presented in this thesis furthers our knowledge of how the homeostatic, appetitive and self-control systems may interact with one another to influence eating-related behaviours." --

This cutting-edge, interdisciplinary volume describes established and state of the art approaches for exploring the pathways that influence and control appetite, including: behavioural, electrophysiological, neuroanatomical, gene knockout and pharmacological techniques. The book presents key peptide and neurotransmitter systems, together with newly emerging concepts of metabolic signalling and hypothalamic inflammation. The impact of early life experience on neuroendocrine appetite circuits is also looked at, including early programming of these circuits by circulating hormones. Finally, new emerging therapeutic approaches to appetite suppression are discussed, including those linked to bariatric (weight loss) surgery. Neuroendocrinology of Appetite is especially focused on established and emerging technologies and approaches for investigating appetite control. It is written so as to provide an overview of sufficient depth for an undergraduate or new scientist in the field to come up to speed in the complementary approaches used by researchers in this field. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book aims to appeal to all those with a basic, clinical or therapeutic interest in research into obesity and eating disorders.
