Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world up to the mid to late 20th century, but within less than half a century she emerged as an economic and cultural powerhouse. The US and World Report recently ranked Korea as 6th in global power. In terms of GNP and per capita income Korea became one of the most advanced countries in the world. This has been dubbed as the ‘Korean Miracle’. There may be several factors that could explain this outcome and this book argues that one of the most compelling reasons is the concept of speed in Korean society and its people, which is quite different from other countries. This take on speed can be considered from the perspective of anthropological and/or social DNA, tradition, cultural heritage. Therefore, this book names ‘K-speed’ as an unexpected factor which brought on the so-called ‘miraculous’ Korean economic growth. This book belongs to the field of economic development theory and applications. Written in an empirical and descriptive format, the book provides insights into economic and cultural development for students and scholars in international affairs, economics, politics, business, and Asian studies. Governments, international agencies and senior staff in large organizations will also find this book a useful reference.

Offers a comprehensive exploration of Seattle’s cuisine from geographical, historical, cultural, and culinary perspectives. From glaciers to geoducks, from the Salish Sea with swift currents sweeping wild salmon home from the Pacific Ocean to their original spawning grounds, to settlers, immigrants, and restaurateurs, Seattle’s culinary history is vibrant and delicious, defining the Puget Sound region as well as a major U.S. city. Exploring the Pacific Northwest ‘s history from a culinary perspective provides an ideal opportunity to investigate the area’s Native American cooking culture, along with Seattle’s early boom years when its first settlers arrived. Waves of immigrants from the mid-1800s into the early 1900s brought ethnic culinary traditions from Europe and beyond and added more flavor to the mix. As Seattle grew from a wild frontier settlement into a major twentieth century hub for transportation and commerce following World War II, its home cooks prepared many All-American dishes, but continued to honor and prepare the region’s indigenous foods. Taken altogether and described in the pages of this book, it’s quickly evident few cities and regions have culinary traditions as distinctive as Seattle’s.
