Publishers Text

New in paper! We really are what we eat. Eating close to home is not just a matter of convenience--it is an act of deep cultural, emotional, and environmental significance.

Gary Nabhan's experience with food permeates his life as a third-generation Lebanese American, as an avid gardener and subsistence hunter, as an ethnobotanist preserving seed diversity, and as an activist devoted to recovering native food traditions to promote the health of Native American in the Southwest. To rediscover what it might mean to think globally, eat locally, he spent a year trying to eat only foods grown, fished, or caught within 200 miles of his home--with surprising results. This is a vibrant portrait of the essential human relation to the foods that truly nourish us, affirming our bonds to family, community, landscape, and season.
