Newly updated with original pieces from the entire Kingsolver clan, this commemorative volume explores how the family's original project has been carried forward through the years.</p><p>When Barbara Kingsolver and her family moved from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Barbara considers our nation's lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production. Since 2007, their scheme has evolved enormously. In this new edition, featuring an afterword composed by the entire Kingsolver family, Barbara's husband, Steven, discusses how the project grew into a farm-to-table restaurant and community development project training young farmers in their area to move into sustainable food production. Camille writes about her decision to move back to a rural area after college, and how she and her husband incorporate their food values in their lives as they begin their new family. Lily, Barbara's youngest daughter, writes about how growing up on a farm, in touch with natural processes and food chains, has shaped her life as a future environmental scientist. And Barbara writes about their sheep, and how they grew into her second vocation as a fiber artist, and reports on the enormous response they've received from other home-growers and local-food devotees.</p><p>With Americans' ever-growing concern over an agricultural establishment that negatively affects our health and environment, <em>Animal, Vegetable, Miracle</em> is a modern classic that will endure for years to come. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A hybrid book...part memoir...part call to action, part education, part recipe collection...ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE makes an important contribution to the chorus of voices calling for change."--<strong><em>Chicago Tribune</em></strong><br><br>"A profound, graceful, and literary work of philosophy and economics, well tempered for our times, and yet timeless....It will change the way you enter a grocery store, will change the way you look at the food you put into your body. Which is to say, It can change who you are."--<strong><em>Boston Globe</em></strong><br><br>"Charming...Literary magic...If you love the narrative voice of Barbara Kingsolver, you will be thrilled by her newest book...ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE is a fervent reminder of truths we blithely ignore."--<strong><em>Houston Chronicle</em></strong><br><br>"Charming, zestful, funny and poetic...This is a serious book about important problems...The authors of ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE...add three powerful voices...to the swelling chorus of concern about the food we grow, buy and eat."--<strong><em>Washington Post Book World</em></strong><br><br>"Cogent and illuminating...There are many ways for a writer to tell you to eat your vegetables...Barbara Kingsolver's way is both folksy and smart...Without sentimentality, this book captures the pulse of the farm and the deep gratification it provides, as well as the intrinsic humor of the situation."--<strong>Janet Maslin, <em>New York Times</em></strong><br><br>"It's a lovely book. One wants with all one's heart to sit with [Kingsolver] on the porch at the end of the day and shell peas."--<strong><em>Los Angeles Times</em></strong><br>
