DescriptionGary Paul Nabhan relates how his experience with food permeates his life as an avid gardener and forager, as an ethno-botanist and farmland conservation advocate, and as an activist devoted to recovering place-based heritage foods. Nabhan spent a year trying to eat only foods grown, fished or gathered within 220 miles of his home - with surprising results. ReviewsA tale certain to inspire gardeners, cooks, and others eager to replace convenience with flavor. "Nabhan's vivid descriptions... riveted me and ultimately forced me to face up to a single uncomfortable question: If this man can turn his satellite dish into a container garden, raise his own turkeys, opportunistically scout wild foods and glean food wisdom from indigenous tribespeople, what excuses do I have left for not hunting and gathering locally too?" The Ecologist Author descriptionGary Paul Nabhan, a prize-winning essayist and agricultural ecologist, serves as a Distinguished Research Scientist with the Southwest Center at the University of Arizona. |
