Download or read book Home to Roost written by Bob Sheasley and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-07-08 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each day, Bob Sheasley leaves Lilyfield Farm and heads into the city. And each day, he brings along a basket of eggs for his coworkers at The Philadelphia Inquirer. Depending on the breed of hen, these eggs may be white, green, rose, blue, or as brown as chocolate. And they are all deliciously fresh, a taste of the rural way of life that people have enjoyed for millennia, one in which chickens have played a supporting role for nearly as long. In Home to Roost, Sheasley tells of the intertwined relationship between humans and chickens. He delves into where chickens came from, what their DNA tells us about our kinship, how we've treated our feathered fellow travelers, and the roads we're crossing together. This is a story of agriculture and human migration, of folk medicine and technology, of how we dreamed of the good life, threw it away, and want it back. Modern farming has changed the lives of both bird and man over the past century. But backyard farmers like Sheasley offer hope for a return to the pleasures of locally grown food, as diverse as the chickens he's raised on Lilyfield Farm. With wit and personal insight, Home to Roost examines of how our lives can be changed for the better, with something as simple as a backyard coop.
Book Synopsis Free All Along by : Stephen Drury Smith
Download or read book Free All Along written by Stephen Drury Smith and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featured in the New Yorker’s “Page-Turner” One of Mashable's “17 books every activist should read in 2019” “This is an expression not of people who are suddenly freed of something, but people who have been free all along.” —Ralph Ellison, speaking with Robert Penn Warren A stunning collection of previously unpublished interviews with key figures of the black freedom struggle by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author In 1964, in the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Pulitzer Prize–winning author and poet Robert Penn Warren set out with a tape recorder to interview leaders of the black freedom struggle. He spoke at length with luminaries such as James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr., Stokely Carmichael, Ralph Ellison, and Roy Wilkins, eliciting reflections and frank assessments of race in America and the possibilities for meaningful change. In Harlem, a fifteen-minute appointment with Malcolm X unwound into several hours of vivid conversation. A year later, Penn Warren would publish Who Speaks for the Negro?, a probing narrative account of these conversations that blended his own reflections with brief excerpts and quotations from his interviews. Astonishingly, the full extent of the interviews remained in the background and were never published. The audiotapes stayed largely unknown until recent years. Free All Along brings to life the vital historic voices of America’s civil rights generation, including writers, political activists, religious leaders, and intellectuals. A major contribution to our understanding of the struggle for justice and equality, these remarkable long-form interviews are presented here as original documents that have pressing relevance today.

Warren's book is a burden of the past from which we cannot escape.

Resilience here is broadly conceived and encompasses a full range of problems, from personal hard times such as injuries, family crises, financial problems, health problems, and special dietary needs (gluten intolerance, food allergies, carbohydrate sensitivity, and a need for weight control) to serious regional and global disasters and climate change. It is a supremely optimistic as well as realistic book about how resilient gardeners and their vegetable gardens can flourish even in challenging times and help their communities to survive and thrive through everything that comes their way — from tomorrow through the next thousand years.

Book Synopsis Feeding Each Other by : Michelle Auerbach
Download or read book Feeding Each Other written by Michelle Auerbach and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The global food system is sick, and almost everyone knows it. But this bold, big-hearted book doesn't stop at diagnosing the problem―though it does that incisively and with style. If a just, more joyous future is possible, it begins with the ideas in this book.' Joe Fassler, food and environmental journalist and author of Light the Dark Food does much more than fuel our bodies. Food helps us express care, create culture, and connect. But while food today might feed some of us, the growing, producing, packaging, and distributing is also killing us. Trying to ‘feed the world' is accelerating the collapse of environmental, economic, and social structures. The current “solutions” aren't working. By blending research, insights from diverse thinkers, and lived experience, food systems educator Nicole Civita and story justice activist Michelle Auerbach make sense of sustenance. They demonstrate that our lives depend on the relationships we make with and through food, and make the case for a much-needed cultural shift in the way we approach food.

With insight and humor, Rebalance tackles the perennial question of working women (and men) everywhere: Is it possible to do it all well or does something have to give? The authors draw on a decade of no-holds-barred conversations with an ambitious group of women striving to lead in social impact jobs, raise good kids, and build strong relationships and communities. Rebalance distills their hard-earned lessons on balancing - and rebalancing - amid an onslaught of ever-changing demands and priorities. Rebalance takes an unflinching look at the trade-offs, conflicts, and juggling acts inherent in our busy lives, and ultimately illuminates how time-tested principles and practices can free us not just to survive but also to thrive.
