Consuming the Inedible: Neglected Dimensions of Food Choice

摘要

Consuming the Inedible is the sixth volume in the series The Anthropology of Food and Nutrition edited by Helen Macbeth. This particular volume emerged out of a conference entitled Non-Food as Food (Oxford Brookes University, July 2005), and contains contributions from authors representing a range of sub-disciplines within anthropology, nutrition, history and geography. The volume consists of eighteen short chapters; these are preceded by an introduction by the three editors and followed by an afterword written by MacClancy.
