1.		The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Price: $9.60 Customer Review: I found Michael Pollan's book to be quite informative and interesting. The strength of the book was the detailing of much of the modern food chain and our dependence on but a very few staple items, namely corn and soy, to supply a very high percentage of our caloric needs. The percentage of our... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $13.17 Customer Review: Let me say that on its own this is a very good book. Pollan does a great job of talking about how much of the "science" behind the nutrition claims of journalists and doctors is basically bunk and often may do more harm than good. He then goes onto explain what parts of the Western Diet (processed... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Second Nature: A Gardener's Education from Grove Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: That's not entirely fair, but...this is a book of essays, not a natural history or gardening book. It is about Pollan's perceptions of nature and landscape, through the gateway of his garden. He does only enough research to flesh out his musings with historical fact and literary reference - and he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This book will change the way you look at food and shopping. I think it should be read by all that cook and shop since it brings to light the way our food is grown, prepared and shipped. It explores so many angles in the production of food and it is interesting! I now look for locally grown food... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder from Delta Customer Review: If you want to see some photos of the author's place so as to get an idea of what he is talking about, don't look in here. There are no pictures in this book which makes it mostly useless.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		What to Eat from North Point Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This is a good all purpose guide to nutrition, including and especially safety concerns. It doesn't just stop with "carrots are a good source of vitamin A, etc" but it goes on to address issues such as how food is processed, handled, and packaged, and how these considerations affect the actual... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind from Shoemaker & Hoard Price: $11.53 Customer Review: For my research at this time, I only read the section on sugar. This section was filled with historical errors and biased, prejudiced language. Very few of his interpretations were orthodox. . He lumped all Arabs together as always having a low opinion of physical work. Furthermore, according to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution from Clarkson Potter Price: $23.10 Customer Review: To begin with, I live in Thailand, and so almost all of the "seasonal" advice in this book is useless --- except for the general idea, which is all-important: buy high-quality ingredients when they are in season. In Thailand, that would translate to "wait for the hot season before gorging yourself... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition, and Health, Revised and Expanded Edition (California Studies in Food and Culture) from University of California Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I purchased this book for a course I am taking in food policy and find it a very readable companion to the course. I think it provides a firm grounding in the underlying structures that shape our food landscape, namely the powerful influence of industry over government.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Slow Food Nation: Why Our Food Should Be Good, Clean, And Fair from Rizzoli Ex Libris Price: $15.30 Customer Review: This was slow, slow reading. Lots of technical information which I am just too tired to digest. Maybe something was lost in the translation? I did not even finish this book and have not recommended it to anyone--quite the opposite.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
