Coffee: A Life

The OTTOMANS Coffee and coffeehouses were well established in the Levant before coming to Istanbul. Spreading north from Egypt up through Syria, by the mid-sixteenth century coffeehouses had become the most important institutions of social intercourse. Unlike the degenerate pits described by some writers, the coffeehouses in cosmopolitan centers of the Levant, like Damascus, were luxurious—consciously modeled on the Arabic vision of Paradise. Many of them were situated by parks and rivers and had a relaxing, garden-like atmosphere. Inside, there were plants and sometimes even ornate fountains. Customers would sit on benches and divans that lined the walls. Outside, there were seats for those who wanted to drink in the cool of the breeze and, like habitués of the modern metropolitan café, watch the passers-by.

For many hundreds of years the answer seemed to be to grind the whole thing up, mix it with oil or grease, and spread it on something, as one would com do with butter. Except this was butter with a kick. It was, historians of commodities believe, used by nomadic tribes to help them go that extra mile when things were especially difficult—giving them a little boost when they were running on empty. But there is also evidence of something more sinister.

Stories emerged of a trail of tears lined with coffee trees leading through Kenya along the route where the slavers took their human cargo. The berries may have been used, some think, to keep those half-starved captives conscious enough to complete their hellish journey.

Whether the coffee were grinding coffee in marble mortars […] it was the most beautiful berry was first observed to have been eaten by a goat or—more likely—a monkey is impossible to guess. As far as natural science can determine, Coffea arabica, the original coffee plant, is native to the Ethiopian highlands and 23 grew wild there for a very long time before it was actually put to use. But what was that use? The coffee tree (botanists claim it’s actually a bush) doesn’t have a sign on it saying “drink me,” with instructions on how to do it. In fact, the fruit of the coffee tree, the berry, wherein the bean (or seed) resides, is a triumph of vegetal complexity. To get to the beans—there are normally two inside each cherry—you need to go through five layers: first the outer skin, then a layer of mucilaginous pulp, then a layer of pectin, then the parchment hull, then what’s called the “silver skin”—a very tough protective mem12

Shows how coffee fuelled enlightenment in the West

Blissful Beginnings

By the seventeenth century the consumption of coffee in Turkey had become an economic force to be reckoned with. It was soon so prevalent a drink that the Grand Viziers used part of their fortunes to build ornate coffeehouses, rented them out, and watched their earnings soar. Women used the withholding of coffee by their husbands as a legal excuse to sue for divorce. And wealthy agas, when they were feeling especially benevolent, would order that a pot of coffee be brewed to fill up the begging bowls held in the trembling hands of the caffeine-starved Coffee: A Life dervishes who waited, restlessly, outside their houses.

In 1638 a comprehensive survey of Istanbul was begun in order to try and disentangle the complex infrastructure that had become an organizational nightmare for the new sultan, Murad IV. The result gives a fascinating insight into the melange of competitive forces that radiated from the administrative center of the Ottoman world. What stands out, strikingly, is its enormous diversity: the cultural, ethnic, and religious make-up of Istanbul in the seventeenth century shows it to be one of the most cosmopolitan cities on earth. Though the ultimate authority was A thousand years ago in the highlands of Abyssinia—the country we firmly in Muslim hands, the population itself was a heady mix of almost now call Ethiopia—a young goatherd was looking after his flock.

Submissive or stressed?

I can’t understand what my dog is trying to tell me!

On the couch: We have a three-year-old French bulldog-cross who has developed some odd body language over the last year. She’s never been the most confident dog around either dogs or people, but she’s begun to approach visitors by lowering herself to the ground with her ears back, wiggling her body as much as she can but with her tail in full twirl. She then rolls over, exposing her tummy. She does this with dogs, too, although when they’ve all sniffed one another, she’ll often join in play. Is she socially awkward, or are we somehow encouraging her to be fearful?

For a short period in the 1980s and ‘90s, the theory of Alpha dominance —the idea that every dog needed to be completely dominated How can I reclaim my furniture? by its owner because that was the natural order of wolves and thus dogs, too—took hold and the ideas of dominant/submissive dogs have hung on.

Given that many owners truly treat their dogs as members of the family, it’s odd how little time has traditionally been spent in allowing for canine personalities. There’s been so much theory around dog packs and whether or not dogs want to dominate their owners that the fact that a dog may simply have a very distinctive personality may sometimes be forgotten. The dog in this couch study wants to be sure she gets along with everyone and has found a clear and distinctive way to indicate it; she doesn’t realize that the

Making scents It may look bizarre, but this display of gymnastics is part of the cat’s normal scent-marking repertoire, so don’t worry. He is doing the same when he rubs his face up against you, the furniture or other pets (although thankfully this does not produce such a pungent result). Hormones secreted from scent glands in his face and paw pads leave a message that this is his territory, and give everything that recognizably homey smell. All cats have territory: entire males have the largest (between 3 and 5 miles), while a neutered female may only lay claim to one part

beautiful cows Fine features? Check. Huge eyes?

Check. Well-proportioned and elegant lines? Yes, those too. But these supermodels – though fully deserving of the term – aren’t human: they’re cows. Washed, brushed, combed and polished, they’ve travelled from all over the world to grace these pages, and each has won its place with plenty of fine qualities above and beyond pure physical beauty. every portrait is backed up by a full description of its subject breed’s history, key features, origins and distribution, but it will be the models themselves who hold your attention – from the sleek little black Dexter to the subtly-hued Jersey and the noble Brahman, every member of this exclusive club has intrinsic star quality.

BUILDINGS WITHOUT ARCHITECTS A GLOBAL GUIDE TO EVERYDAY ARCHITECTURE

John May Anthony Reid, Consultant Editor Buildings Without Architects is a wonderfully informative reference on vernacular styles, from adobe pueblos and Pennsylvania barns to Mongolian gers and European wooden churches. This small but comprehensive book documents the rich cultural past of vernacular building styles. It offers inspiration for home woodworking enthusiasts as well as architects, conservationists, and anyone interested in energyefficient building and sustainability.

BUILDINGS WITHOUT ARCHITECTS A GLOBAL GUIDE TO EVERYDAY ARCHITECTURE

The variety and ingenuity of the world’s vernacular building traditions are richly illustrated, and the materials and techniques are explored. With examples from every continent, the book documents the diverse methods people have used to create shelter from locally available natural materials, and shows the impressively handmade finished products through diagrams, cross-sections, and photographs.

Unlike modern buildings that rely on industrially produced materials and specialized tools and techniques, the everyday architecture featured here represents a rapidly disappearing genre of handcrafted and beautifully composed structures that are irretrievably “of their place.” These structures are the work of unsung and often anonymous builders that combine artistic beauty, practical form, and necessity.
