The Green Kitchen Handbook: Practical Advice, References, & Sources for Transforming the Center of Your Home into a Healthy, Livable Place Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a parent, I try my best to create a home environment which is happy, healthy and safe for my family. The ideas I came across in this book have helped me in my efforts to do just that. From tips on eco-friendly cleaning, to food storage, from saving energy to nutrtitional tips... it has a little bit of everything! It is well written, easy to read - and a great book to keep on hand to refer to later on. It is the type of book which gets you thinking... and has you looking at your kitchen, and even the rest of your home... in a whole new light!

Eating in: From the Field to the Kitchen in Biosphere 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've always been fascinated by the Biosphere 2 project, especially the concept of 8 people living solely on food grown in the project's half-acre agricultural area for two years. It's a pretty remarkable achievement, and that's what 'Eating In' is about. Nothing in here about the personality disputes that went on inside the biosphere; if that's your interest check out 'The Human Experiment' by biospherian Jane Poynter. This one's about FOOD.
Silverstone's book is kind of a quick look at the whole process of B2's food system, from growing the crops and raising and slaughtering the animals, to processing the food and preparing it for the table. About half the book is descriptions of the food system, and half is recipes. Some really good color pictures help give a feel for what life was like inside the biosphere,and the tremendous amount of work the biospherians had to do to stay fed. I enjoyed 'Eating In'; my only fault with it is that it's WAY too short -- I would have preferred a much more in-depth look at B2's ag system than what I found here, but I found this book great as far as it goes.

Coyote at the Kitchen Door: Living with Wildlife in Suburbia Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Stephen weaves tales of his life's work as a wildlife biologist and brings it home to our own backyard. From Polar Bears in Churchill, Condors in Peru to the Coyote down the block. This is a well written and interesting perspective on our place on the planet, our wild neighbors, and our continued relationship with them.
