A poignant look at empathetic encounters between staunch ideological rivals, all centered around our common need for food. While America's new reality appears to be a deeply divided body politic, many are wondering how we can or should move forward from here. Can political or social divisiveness be healed? Is empathy among people with very little ideological common ground possible? In A Decent Meal, Michael Carolan finds answers to these funda...

This book critically examines the dominant food regime, by asking whether we can afford cheap food and by exploring what exactly cheap food affords us.

Instead we need to refocus for a better sense of well-being, social justice and a balanced approach to prosperity.

Die Dinge und ihre Herstellung werden nicht billiger - ihre Kosten werden nur immer besser versteckt. Eindringlich und unterhaltsam schildert Cheaponomics die ökonomische und soziale Sackgasse, in die wir uns mit dem Billigwahn manövriert haben, und zeigt Auswege auf.

This book concentrates on biofuels and specifically on ethanol within the United States (US), though in the concluding chapter the author expands the discussion to include other agro-based fuels.

Biodiesel production in th...
