Artichokes: Going global
Like many readers, I suspect, I travelled to Mediterranean parts this summer, finding myself yet again in a food market staring wistfully at the baskets full of spiky green globe artichokes. While locals cheerfully stuffed two or three in their bags, as naturally as an English person might purchase a potato or some broccoli, I was left once again to wonder at the mysteries of this giant edible …

Brad Matsen’s JACQUES COUSTEAU: The Sea King presents a full and extraordinary portrait of the man who illuminated the oceans to millions of people across the world. Cousteau trained as a pilot in the French Navy, until an accident forced him to recover by swimming to build back his strength. His developing obsession with the sea led him to help invent the famous Aqua-Lung that made diving possible, though he almost died testing it. During World War II, Cousteau won Frances highest military honor, the Lègion of dhonneur, for infiltrating an Italian camp and photographing intelligence material. He spent most of the war engaged in filming for the Navy and undersea exploration, continuing to develop the equipment that made such exploration possible. Cousteaus growing reputation led Loel Guinness, heir to the Irish brewery, to buy him a boat—the soon-to-be world-famous Calypso. Cousteau commissioned a book about his work, The Silent World, which became an international bestseller, and a film of the same name. This led to a career that included the making of over a hundred documentaries, 50 books, and several brilliant series—the most famous of which, The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, was created by Hollywood producer David Wolper and ran for a decade with astonishing succes, garnering Emmys every season and millions of entranced viewers. In 1979, Cousteaus son, Philippe, was killed in an accident at sea and Cousteaus wife, Simone, retreated to the Calypso. Cousteau …
