Book Description
WITH A FOREWORD FROM TIM SPECTOR, author of The Diet Myth, Spoon-Fed and Food for Life Is “eating local” everything it’s cracked up to be? The first bite of a perfectly ripe peach can be truly transformative—a joyful experience that stays with you forever. But, as Franco Fubini, professor of sustainability management at Columbia University and founder and CEO of Natoora, came to realize, flavor is a signifier of so much more than nostalgia. It has the power to change the way we grow, shop, and eat—transforming the planet and our palates. For the last two decades—through his work with Natoora—Franco has been sourcing amazing flavor for some of the best kitchens and most demanding chefs in the world. He’s learned that through flavor, a better future of food suddenly becomes possible: one in which we are not only closer to nature and to the people who grow our food, but where we are also actively building seasonal diversity back into our diets, putting nutritious food on our plates, and restoring the health of our soils. From the citrus groves of Sicily to a taco in Mexico City, In Search of the Perfect Peach takes you on a journey in the pursuit of flavor, with Franco revealing at every step how this incredibly simple desire can lead to radical change. Throughout, he offers us a deeply optimistic vision of how we as consumers can follow flavor to fix the food system and bring joy to our every meal. "An incredible read for those who love food and care about its future. In Search of the Perfect Peach is both a love story and technical guide."—Kyle Connaughton, chef and owner, SingleThread Farm, Restaurant and Inn "By valuing and reclaiming flavor, Franco argues that we can transform the system and also enrich our relationship with food. Essential reading."—Dan Saladino, journalist, broadcaster and author of Eating to Extinction

A Presidency in Peril
Author: Robert Kuttner
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing Company
ISBN: 9781603582704
Category : Financial crises
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
When Barack Obama took office in January 2009, he had an unprecedented chance to do what no other recent president could: seize the nation's financial reins from the corporate elite and return them to the American people. Progressives everywhere held out hope that their new leader would take advantage of the economic crisis he stepped into and enact bold policies that would evoke real financial reforms-putting Main Street in front of Wall Street, at last. But that, writes Robert Kuttner, is not the way things turned out. Instead, America's best chance for radical financial reform turned into Wall Street's greatest victory. Obama filled his administration with allies of financial elites who were more interested in business as usual than in transformative change. As a consequence, Main Street remained mired in deep recession. Instead of being the instrument of economic renewal, Obama became the target of economic frustration. In this hard-hitting, incisive account, Kuttner shares his unique, insider view of how the Obama administration not only missed its moment to turn our economy around-but deepened Wall Street's risky grip on America's future. Carefully constructing a one-year history of the problem, the players, and the outcome, Kuttner gives readers an unparalleled account of the president's first year. More importantly, though, Kuttner shows how we could-with swift, decisive action-still enact real reforms. This is a book not to be missed by anyone who wants to understand exactly how Wall Street won, and how Main Street can still fight back.
