| 1. |  | Food Rules: An Eater's Manual from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $4.13 Customer Review:  Unlike many thin books which are also thin on ideas, "Food Rules: An Eater's Manual" suggests one big idea: that Americans would benefit from a return to our hunter-gatherer roots when it comes to eating. Humans of thousands of years ago ate meat, but surely depended on seasonal fruits and... |

| 2. |  | In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $7.00 Customer Review: Undoubtedly, this book will be hailed as one of the most influential books of our time. In just 200 pages, Pollan demystifies the 30+ years of confusion, contractions, and chaos created by the food industry and nutritional science. The cover of the book introduces his holy trinity of healthful... |

| 3. |  | The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Price: $7.79 Customer Review: For me, there is no greater praise for a book. I'm 3/4 through the book now, and already, it has challenged my views on food, farming, markets, and the US. And I kinda want to be a "grass farmer." |

| 4. |  | The Omnivore's Dilemma for Kids: The Secrets Behind What You Eat from Dial Price: $5.47 Customer Review: Having read the Omnivore's Dilemma (for Adults) I purchased this because I was thrilled that someone finally took the time to direct a book at Kids on such an important subject. In all honesty, the OD for Adults was a very "Hard Read" if you know what I mean. This children's edition made... |

| 5. |  | Second Nature: A Gardener's Education from Grove Press Price: $8.88 Customer Review:  I find Second Nature to be primarily a treatise on urban landscaping for homeowners--what to do with the land on which your house sits. A very philosophical approach to gardening. |

| 6. |  | The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $6.99 Customer Review: First of all, if you have never read any of Michael Pollan's books, you are missing out. I would suggest reading The Omnivore's Dilemma first, but this book is very good also. It is a look at how instead of us conquering and "domesticating" four kinds of plants, they have in fact figured out how to... |

| 7. |  | A Place of My Own: The Architecture of Daydreams from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $2.98 Customer Review:  I love Michael Pollan's books-- I think he's a great researcher and is very good at presenting that information. However, any time he writes about his own experiences this annoying voice and character emerges-- that of a geek, perhaps-- and it's definitely not someone you want to spend a few hours... |

| 8. |  | Bringing It to the Table: On Farming and Food from Counterpoint Price: $8.78 Customer Review: In this book, Wendell Berry forcefully and convincingly communicates the dangers of the agribusiness in this country. His prose is exact, yet beautiful. I could not put the book down. |

| 9. | [no image] | BOTANY OF DESIRE : A PLANT'S-EYE VIEW OF THE WORLD from RANDOM HOUSE Price: $20.00 Customer Review:  Thought provoking in a way that reminds you of Arnold Toynbee's "The World and The West", Mahbubani's book considers numerous 20th century and recent geo-political and Internatioanal political events and issues from a non-Western perspective. His message is that the influence and power of the West... |

| 10. |  | A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder from Delta Price: $41.40 Customer Review: Michael Pollan is a fine writer and a deep thinker who has made much of his career out of taking on our relationship to the world at a personal level and reporting on it. He did this with gardening in Second Nature: A Gardener's Education and took on agriculture and diet in his highly successful... |

| 11. |  | Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill from Watershed Media Price: $7.50 Customer Review: You might think that government agricultural policy is something of interest only to farmers or politicians, but as Daniel Imhoff shows clearly in his engaging new book, Foodfight, such an assumption would be far from the mark. In fact, the various government programs and subsidies created for... |

| 12. |  | Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn by Fritz Haeg Price: $14.84 Customer Review: This book is reassurance for those of us who have already turned away from American ideas of suburbia. The first half of the book is preaching the reasons to turn against the green monster outside your front door. But just as Pollan appeals to foodies who already attend farm markets, Edible Estates... |

| 17. | [no image] | In Defense of Food from Penguin Books Price: $19.94 Customer Review: Pollan, the author, traces many of the maladies of modern civilization to the artificial aspects of many of our foods. For instance, our need for constant dental care stems from our western diets (pp. 96-97). Oddly enough, our digestive tract has as many neurons as the spinal column (p. 63). This... |

| 19. |  | We Made a Garden (Modern Library Gardening) from Modern Library Price: $8.55 Customer Review: Margery Fish must have loved her Walter very, very much to have put up with him all those years. Her account of the garden they made despite each other is one of the great triumphs of the "garden memoir" genre, and vastly more interesting than most such works. The book is haunted by the presence... |

| 23. |  | Tulipa: A Photographer's Botanical Price: $54.21 Customer Review: In recent years, my approach to planting tulips and other small spring-flowering bulbs has been to dig down to the core ground underneath the raised bed I use for flowers, line the bed with composted cow manure laced with bone meal, and toss the bulbs in, letting them lie where they land. I usually... |

When I want to do something special for my cat it is difficult because they turn their noses up at store bought treats. Apparently they aren't that hungry. Well now that I have this easy to follow manual I have... |

The essays compiled and edited by Jamie Crelly Purinton for Voices Of The Land go well beyond commercial or economic values to consider the ecological and social meaning of land stewardship, from getting to know the underlying ecology of a... |

I listened to the complete audio version of this, altho... |

In my estimation the quality of the magazine was way better than advertised. Fast service and good follow up. I recommend this vendor without qualification. |
