The Healthy & Natural Vegan Diet - Healthy Food Recipes, Advice, Spice Mixtures, Tips & Techniques

By: Dueep Jyot Singh,John Davidson

Introduction This book is for all those health-conscious people out there, all over the world, who are looking for healthy meals, which give them essential nutrients, provide them with energy, and thus enable them to stay full of health and vigor, throughout their lives. The vegan diet, which people in the West may consider to be a possibly modern concept, was started in the 1950s by dietitians, but has actually been in the existence for millenniums. It was a part of many ancient civilizations, where people survived on fruit, vegetables, nuts, roots, cereals, and stayed healthy. They also had the benefit of longevity, because they were not eating meat products or any dairy products, because they could not afford them or hunt for them. So the vegan diet was a matter of necessity and not of choice. As times went by, and civilizations flourished, it was only the rich people who could afford to eat meat products or even dairy products. The poor survived on what they could get, grown in their own back gardens, or those plants which were edible and of whose knowledge, they had garnered from the elders of their tribe, or from experienced wise men /people well-versed in herbal and natural lore. This vegan diet was of course an integral part of the diets eaten by people in Asia, Africa, parts of Europe and the rest of the world, where a nomadic lifestyle was more a part of life, than a settled and domesticated lifestyle.

Spain in the Southwest

A Narrative History of Colonial New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California

By: John L. Kessell

John L. Kessell’s Spain in the Southwest presents a fast-paced, abundantly illustrated history of the Spanish colonies that became the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California. With an eye for human interest, Kessell tells the story of New Spain’s vast frontier--today’s American Southwest and Mexican North--which for two centuries served as a dynamic yet disjoined periphery of the Spanish empire. Chronicling the period of Hispanic activity from the time of Columbus to Mexico’s independence from Spain in 1821, Kessell traces the three great swells of Hispanic exploration, encounter, and influence that rolled north from Mexico across the coasts and high deserts of the western borderlands. Throughout this sprawling historical landscape, Kessell treats grand themes through the lives of individuals. He explains the frequent cultural clashes and accommodations in remarkably balanced terms. Stereotypes, the author writes, are of no help. Indians could be arrogant and brutal, Spaniards caring, and vice versa. If we select the facts to fit preconceived notions, we can make the story come out the way we want, but if the peoples of the colonial Southwest are seen as they really were--more alike than diverse, sharing similar inconstant natures--then we need have no favorites.
