Think Globally, Eat Locally Redux: Barbara Kingsolver, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle"

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Can an American family spend an entire year without eating food grown more than 100 miles from home? The answer is a resounding and entertaining "Yes, we could!"
Review: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - Barbara Kingsolver

Do You Know Your Foodshed?

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: Maybe you can't be a 100% locavore, but Kingsolver offers insight for reducing your global footprint as she plants seeds for wanting to follow her in some manner.  
Review: In Barbara Kingsolver's world the seasons are defined not by the movement of the moon or sun, but by the activity in the garden and kitchen. This investigative look into the possibility of living within her foodshed turned into an exploration her...

True Story: Family Details How They Lived Off the Land For One Year

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this book highly for it's riveting tale of a family living differently than 99% of Americans today
Review: I am a junk food junkie admittedly. I wish that I wasn't. Late nights find me on the couch snacking on stuff that has no nutrients and/or is deep fried and full of cheese. Moving way out away from the stores I knew and loved....things got tough for...

The Bottom Line: What is it like to farm and glean your own food for a year? This is a good description.
Review: Barbara Kingsolver, most widely known for her book THE POISONWOOD BIBLE, is 74th worst for America as written in a book a few years ago. Well, she is a liberal from Kentucky, well educated, and now knowledgeable about organic gardening, having taken...

A Veghead?s earthly paradise?.

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: Demand more organic and local produce in schools, restaurants, and workplaces. Better yet, start your own garden. The recipes are fabulous and are available at www.animalvegetablemiracle.com
Review: I first heard about Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life on NPR, where it had been selected as a summer must-read. As someone who shops organic at local farmer markets, this book struck a chord with me on many levels...

Farming: a dangerously self-sufficient act!

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: This would be a great book for anyone who would like to learn how to be better stewards of the earth regardless of where they live. 
Review: Before I talk about this book, do you know that Barbara Kingsolver was listed as the 74th most dangerous person in the United States?  Now if you have ever read a Barbara Kingsolver book, you are probably already laughing your pants off just as I...

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2007
Review: This is book is much needed and a great work. Kingsolver is self deprecating at times and freely admits the limitations of her family project. The prose flows in much the same way we've come to expect from her fiction, smooth and intelligent.
