Wow! I just ordered the book "Eat Here: Reclaiming Homegrown Pleasures in a Global Supermarket" by Brian Halweil from Worldwatch Institute at the beginning of the week and found it in my mailbox today! I am extremely pleased with their service in shipping this so quickly.
I cannot fairly review the book as I have only gotten my preliminary glimpse at the book - this is a book "preview" report. This book is not a cookbook full of recipes, but rather it is a research rich book which tells the story about the slow food and local food movements and why these movements matter. Of particular interest in this book is the emphasis the author has placed on researching the effect of globalized marketing on small family farmers and their ability to survive.
I'm looking forward to diving into this book this weekend,and then checking out the resources listed in the appendix at the end of the book!
I encourage my readers to visit the World Watch Institute website. It is a treasure trove of research information regarding ecology, with much available to read on-line in PDF format files.
To living deliberately,
In peace with our neighbors,
Debbie
