Читать книгу Chicken - Paul R. Josephson - Страница 7

A number of people helped in writing this book, and thank you to all of them. Colby College provided financial support for Chicken with a travel grant, and my students in the lecture “Luddite Rantings” responded to my lectures on broilers with well-seasoned questions. I presented early thoughts on chicken at the “Consuming the World: Eating and Drinking in Culture, History, and Environment” workshop at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society in Munich, Germany, in March 2016, and thank the organizers Michelle Mart, Dan Philippon and Hanna Schösler for inviting me to participate and learn about food from them and the other participants. Deborah Fitzgerald read the draft of the paper from the conference and shared her broad knowledge on agriculture, technology and industry. My editor at Polity, Pascal Porcheron, has been supportive during the entire process; his in-depth comments and suggestions make this book stronger. The two anonymous reviewers offered excellent suggestions on how to raise, shape, cut and bread my writing. Indiana Jones, Lego-master and friend, again assembled a superior index. Willie “Pops” Stargell and Roberto Clemente, as always, provided inspiration to move ahead when the hunting and pecking got tough. Pops was especially instrumental in motivating this book. He owned a chicken restaurant in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, and any customer in the restaurant got free chicken when Stargell hit a home run. Bob Prince, the Pirate radio announcer, came to announce Stargell home runs with the yell “Chicken on the Hill with Will.” Willie took me to a baseball game when I was 13 at Forbes Field. Thank you, Willie. Tatiana Kasperski ate chicken with me when I prepared it, cooked chicken for me, added it to kholodnik, listened to my ideas and plucked them carefully. Thank you, Tanya.
