America’s Food : What You Don’t Know About What You Eat

Attribution
Harvey Blatt
Publication Details
Book, MIT Press, 2008
Description
We don’t think much about how food gets to our tables, or what had to happen to fill our supermarket’s produce section with perfectly round red tomatoes and its meat counter with slabs of beautifully marbled steak. After taking us on a tour of the American food system?not only the basic food groups but soil, grain farming, organic food, genetically modified food, food processing, and diet?Blatt reminds us that we aren’t powerless.

Description
An utterly original exploration of the world of human waste that will surprise, outrage?and entertain Produced behind closed doors, disposed of discreetly, and hidden by euphemism, bodily waste is something common to all and as natural as breathing, yet we prefer not to talk about it. Moving from the deep underground sewers of Paris, London, and New York?an infrastructure disaster waiting to happen?to an Indian slum where ten toilets are shared by 60,000 people, Rose George stops along the way to explore the potential saviors: China?s five million biogas digesters, which produce energy from waste; (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

The Navajo People And Uranium Mining

Attribution
edited by Doug Brugge, Timothy Benally, and Esther Yazzie-Lewis ; foreword by Stewart L. Udall
Publication Details
Book, University of New Mexico Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
The Navajo People and Uranium Mining is the documented history of how these Navajo people lived, how they worked and now, sadly, how they died waiting for compassionate federal compensation for laboring in the most hazardous conditions imaginable, and which were known at the time yet concealed from them. Today, the Navajo Nation, with the help of law firms, environmental groups, writers, photographers and historians, is doing all it can to correct this horrendous wrong done to Navajo uranium miners, their families and their descendents. Now, aged Navajo uranium miners and their families continue to fight the Cold War in their doctors’ offices as they try to understand how the invisible killer of radiation exposure left them with many forms of cancer and other illnesses decades after leaving the uranium mines. Only the telling of this story, as The Navajo People and Uranium Mining does so excellently, can protect us from this unwanted fate and a repeat of one of the more sorrowful periods of the Navajo Nation’s history.
