April 2020 Book Review “The Food Explorer”
Review of the 2018 book, The Food Explorer, by Daniel Stone
If I had known there was a job called “agriculture explorer” when I was a kid, that’s exactly what I’d have told everyone I was going to be when I grew up. David Fairchild was the first of a select group that had that title with the now defunct Office of Seed and Plant Introduction at the US Department of Agriculture. They introduced over 200,000 species and varieties of plants to the US from 1898 to about 1930.

February 2020 Book Review “Freedom Farmers”
Review of the 2018 book, Freedom Farmers, by Dr. Monica M. White
“Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement” is the subtitle to the book and if the concept of agriculture as a resistance movement doesn’t pique your interest, you should read it to learn more about the history of the intersection of agriculture and Black freedom in the United States. She gives depth to important historical figures, particularly the work of Fannie Lou Hamer, George Washington Carver, W.E.B. DuBois, and Booker T. Washington as well as to the much-underappreciated Black cooperative movement, which continues today.

Review of the 2019 book, What to Eat When, by Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Michael Crupain, M.D., M.P.H. with Ted Spiker
Our bodies “operate with a strong desire to sync what you do with when you do it”. In seven sections, these doctors break down the science behind “when” to eat, outline what they call the “when way” of eating, and provide practical guidance for following the “when way” in different situations, such as “when you’re bummed” and “when you’re at the stadium”.
