1.		The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Price: $9.60 Customer Review: This book was very well written. Before starting, I was worried that it would be a rather dry read (after all, how much can you say about food?). Well, apparently there is an awful lot to say about food, and Pollan does a great job at making it interesting. He brings to light some of the problems... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $13.17 Customer Review: This is the first blockbuster I've ever reviewed on Amazon. Usually I defer to the droves of other reviewers to cover every point, but this book is just too compelling. I devoured it in two days, an extraordinary rarity for an unusually slow reader like me. Here, Pollan firmly repudiates the... 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: The connections between plants and people are fascinating. Michael Pollan writes so well, I was pulled through the book. This is a view of the web of life that I haven't seen before. Highly recommended. Another book I enjoyed some time back (not by Pollan) is "Biomimicry".	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.		Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn from Metropolis Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review: have to agree with "wendycat". all of the photos i have seen of the edible estates are not very pretty, no offense to anyone but some are even somewhat hideous for a front yard garden. anyways, i've read the author has moved on to something else - animal estates....

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.		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

8.		Voices of the Land from Chelsea Green Publishing Company Price: $16.50 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

9.	[no image]	The Omnivore's Dilemma A Natural History of Four Meals from The Penguin Press Customer Review: This book is a major eye opener. You will learn the best reasons for eating grass fed meats and resorces to purchase them.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		We Made a Garden (Modern Library Gardening) from Modern Library Price: $13.50 Customer Review: Margery Fish must have loved her Walter very, very much to have put up with him all those years. Her account of the garden they made despite each other is one of the great triumphs of the "garden memoir" genre, and vastly more interesting than most such works. The book is haunted by the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
