<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Hunger is both a natural and an unnatural human condition. Sharman Apt Russell explores the range of this primal experience<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Every day, we wake up hungry. Every day, we break our fast. <i>Hunger</i> explores the range of this primal experience. Sharman Apt Russell, the highly acclaimed author of <i>Anatomy of a Rose</i> and <i>An Obsession with Butterflies</i>, here takes us on a tour of hunger, from eighteen hours without food to thirty-six hours to seven days and beyond. What Russell finds-both in our bodies and in cultures around the world-is extraordinary. It is a biological process that transcends nature to shape the very of fabric of societies. In a fascinating survey of centuries of thought on hunger's unique power, she discovers an ability to adapt to it that is nothing short of miraculous. From the fasting saints of the early Christian church to activists like Mahatma Gandhi, generations have used hunger to make spiritual and political statements. Russell highlights these remarkable cases where hunger can inspire and even heal, but she also addresses the devastating impact of starvation on cultures around the world today. Written with consummate skill, a compassionate heart, and stocked with facts, figures, and fascinating lore, <i>Hunger</i> is an inspiring window on history and the human spirit.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sharman Apt Russell</b> is the author of several books, including <i>Hunger</i> and <i>Songs of the Fluteplayer</i>, which won the Mountains and Plains Booksellers Award.
