I suppose it is hard for them to decide, when something crosses areas... it's about anthropology, it's about food, maybe it's about travel or whatever. It's possible that some stores just put it where they think it well sell the best.

I was amazed at the amount of influence it's had on our lives and history as a culture. I was reminded again after reading Pollan's Omnivores and the current reliance on corn, and corn products in our daily life. Amazing.

Both are commodity histories with recipes. Not thru the Fish book but you'll be amazed at how widely artic fish were used in medieval europe.

As for others, I can't remember right now (I'm currently out of States and my library is all boxed up). I really enjoyed "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" by Michael Pollan as well. Anyone have any other reading suggestions...?

My best guess as to why, although lame, is that culinary anthropology is not a big blip on the radar, therefore they get shelved among the other cooking and food books. Just a thought.

They decided to start shelving them together with " sociology".... Now how does that make sense?
