Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

"Hang on for the ride: With characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about turkey sex life and overly zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet."--BOOK JACKET.Camille Kingsolver is the author of 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life', published 2007 under ISBN 9780060852559 and ISBN 0060852550.
