1.		The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This is an amazing book. It may sound extreme, but the information in this is mindblowing. Not only is it extremely well written, but it explores the different sides of the same topic, giving you multiple perspectives. I had started reading my friend's copy on a visit, and had to order the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		In Defense of Food from Penguin Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Healing the Rift: Merging Science and Spirituality Michael Pollan chronicles the dogma and misconceptions concerning food and food nutrition. With tens of thousands of books published each year on cooking, diet, food, and nutrition, few really give readers the information they need about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $10.20 Customer Review: It tends to ramble in the philosophical arena, but I found his writing well researched and the questions thoughtful and thought provoking. I would recommend it for a book club or philosphy group.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Second Nature: A Gardener's Education from Grove Press Price: $11.20 Customer Review: That's not entirely fair, but...this is a book of essays, not a natural history or gardening book. It is about Pollan's perceptions of nature and landscape, through the gateway of his garden. He does only enough research to flesh out his musings with historical fact and literary reference - and he... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.	[no image]	The Botany of Desire - A Plant's-Eye View of the World from Random House Customer Review: The challenge faced by U.S. policy in Iraq is an indication of Kishore Mahbubani's assertion that you cannot export democracy into countries that are not ready for it. In his book "The New Asian Hemisphere" Mahbubani points to the limitations of Western leadership in such areas as free trade,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder from Delta Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Wonderful, wonderful book. I am inspired to find some land and build my own little haven... I guess that makes this the most expensive book I've ever bought.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn from Metropolis Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This book reads more like a book report, or maybe a master's thesis than a full-blown book. You can get through it in an hour or two, and although it is an interesting read, it's not something you'll turn to again and again. Honestly, I haven't thought about it since I read through it weeks ago.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill from University of California Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: No one goes to the grocery store thinking that the government legislates what they buy or eat. But in fact, the government plays an enormously influential role on what products and foods are grown and produced, as well as distributed in your local grocery. The legislation known as the Farm Bill... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Voices of the Land from Chelsea Green Publishing Company Customer Review: What does it mean to really know the land, or a wild space? The essays compiled and edited by Jamie Crelly Purinton for Voices Of The Land go well beyond commercial or economic values to consider the ecological and social meaning of land stewardship, from getting to know the underlying ecology of a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		The Botany of Desire from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Customer Review: A fascinating read. The Botany of Desire is quite possibly my favorite book. You'll find yourself quoting all kinds of interesting facts about the history of apples and never wanting to eat non-organic potatoes ever again. I constantly recommend this book to others, and I've yet to meet a person who... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
