When you think Kansas City, you think barbecue. And sure, we know how to smoke and sauce meat. But limiting our city to just one type of food is an injustice of epic proportions. Some of the best chefs in the world make Kansas City their home, and they've brought their award-winning recipes with them. Within the pages of Unique Eats and Eateries of Kansas City you'll not only learn why they decided to open their restaurants here but also the stories behind their food. Learn how a national magazine helped a legendary barbecue chef turn burnt ends from a free snack into a main course. Taste some of the most beautiful chocolates you’ll ever see created by a burnt-out chef on one last try at success. Check out some of the best-tasting tacos at a Mexican grocery store, or discover how a restaurant with the best burgers in Kansas City became famous thanks to a serial killer. Every eatery offers a fascinating story behind the delicious food they serve, and this book is a guide to some of Kansas City's best. Fox 4 anchor and reporter Matt Stewart takes you on a culinary tour of Kansas City’s most unique, unusual, and enjoyable food spots to help you pick and better appreciate your next dining experience.

Leading gender and science scholar Sarah S. Richardson charts the untold history of the idea that a woman's health and behavior during pregnancy can have long-term effects on her descendants' health and welfare. The idea that a woman may leave a biological trace on her gestating offspring has long been a commonplace folk intuition and a matter of scientific intrigue, but the form of that idea has changed dramatically over time. Beginning with the advent of modern genetics at the turn of the twentieth century, biomedical scientists dismissed any notion that a mother—except in cases of extreme deprivation or injury—could alter her offspring’s traits. Consensus asserted that a child’s fate was set by a combination of its genes and post-birth upbringing. Over the last fifty years, however, this consensus was dismantled, and today, research on the intrauterine environment and its effects on the fetus is emerging as a robust program of study in medicine, public health, psychology, evolutionary biology, and genomics. Collectively, these sciences argue that a woman’s experiences, behaviors, and physiology can have life-altering effects on offspring development. Tracing a genealogy of ideas about heredity and maternal-fetal effects, this book offers a critical analysis of conceptual and ethical issues—in particular, the staggering implications for maternal well-being and reproductive autonomy—provoked by the striking rise of epigenetics and fetal origins science in postgenomic biology today.
