Animal Vegitable Miracle; A Year of Food Life By Barbara Kingsolver, Steven Hopp and Camille Kingsolver

Kingsolver, along with family members has written a book, describing the year in which her family resolved to eat only food they had grown themselves, or that had grown within a hundred miles of their home, a farm in Virginia. The book's informative sidebars are by her husband, Steven L. Hopp, a biologist. Her daughter, Camille (in college, studying biology), has contributed engaging short essays for each month, accompanied by clear, uncomplicated recipes.

DEEP ECONOMY: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future
By Bill McKibben
" Deep Economy challenges the reader to imagine a future of thriving local economies where people act in community, instead of according to their own isolated best interests. McKibben shows how people have envisioned and are living in contrast to the relentlessly pursued ideal that more is better. He gives readers inspiration, tools, hopes, and a good, strong call to action." --Linda Ramsdell, The Galaxy Bookshop, Hardwick, VT
