Prison Ramen: Recipes and Stories from Behind Bars

The Wisdom of the Myths

An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

MitologÃ­a china: Una guÃ­a fascinante sobre el folklore chino que incluye cuentos fantÃ¡sticos, mitos y leyendas de la antigua China (Spanish Edition)

NPR’s Best Books of 2020 BookPage’s Best Books of 2020 Real Simple’s Best Books of 2020 Boston.com readers voted one of Best Books of 2020 “Anyone striving to understand and improve this country should read her story.” —Gloria Steinem, author of My Life on the Road The Emmy Award–winning journalist and anchor of NPR’s Latino USA tells the story of immigration in America through her family’s experiences and decades of reporting, painting an unflinching portrait of a country in crisis in this memoir that is “quite simply beautiful, written in Maria Hinojosa’s honest, passionate voice” (BookPage). Maria Hinojosa is an award-winning journalist who, for nearly thirty years, has reported on stories and communities in America that often go ignored by the mainstream media—from tales of hope in the South Bronx to the unseen victims of the War on Terror and the first detention camps in the US. Bestselling author Julia Álvarez has called her “one of the most important, respected, and beloved cultural leaders in the Latinx community.” In Once I Was You, Maria shares her intimate experience growing up Mexican American on the South Side of Chicago. She offers a personal and illuminating account of how the rhetoric around immigration has not only long informed American attitudes toward outsiders, but also sanctioned willful negligence and profiteering at the expense of our country’s most vulnerable populations—charging us with the broken system we have today. An urgent call to fellow Americans to open their eyes to the immigration crisis and understand that it affects us all, this honest and heartrending memoir paints a vivid portrait of how we got here and what it means to be a survivor, a feminist, a citizen, and a journalist who owns her voice while striving for the truth.

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families

Product Description“A profound, graceful, and literary work of philosophy and economics, well tempered for our times, and yet timeless. . . . It will change the way you look at the food you put into your body. Which is to say, it can change who you are.” - Boston GlobeA beautiful deluxe trade paperback edition celebrating the 10th anniversary of Barbara Kingsolver's New York Times bestseller that describes her family's adventure as they move to a farm in southern Appalachia and realign their lives with the local food chainSince its publication in 2007, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle has captivated readers with its blend of memoir and journalistic investigation. Updated with original pieces from the entire Kingsolver clan, this commemorative edition explores how the family's original project has been carried forward through the years.When Barbara Kingsolver and her family moved from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Barbara considers our nation's lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production. Since 2007, their scheme has evolved enormously. In this anniversary edition, featuring an afterword by the entire Kingsolver family, Barbara's husband, Steven, discusses how the project grew into a farm-to-table restaurant and community development project training young farmers in their area to move into sustainable food production. Camille writes about her decision to move back to a rural area after college, and how she and her husband incorporate their food values in their lives as they begin their new family. Lily, Barbara's youngest daughter, writes about how growing up on a farm, in touch with natural processes and food chains, has shaped her life as a future environmental scientist. And Barbara writes about their sheep, and how they grew into her second vocation as a fiber artist, and reports on the enormous response they've received from other home-growers and local-food devotees.With Americans' ever-growing concern over an agricultural establishment that negatively affects our health and environment, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is a modern classic that will endure for years to come.Review“Charming, zestful, funny and poetic…This is a serious book about important problems…The authors of ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE…add three powerful voices…to the swelling chorus of concern about the food we grow, buy and eat.” - Washington Post Book World“A profound, graceful, and literary work of philosophy and economics, well tempered for our times, and yet timeless….It will change the way you enter a grocery store, will change the way you look at the food you put into your body. Which is to say, It can change who you are.” - Boston Globe“Charming...Literary magic...If you love the narrative voice of Barbara Kingsolver, you will be thrilled by her newest book...ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE is a fervent reminder of truths we blithely ignore.” - Houston Chronicle“A hybrid book…part memoir…part call to action, part education, part recipe collection…ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE makes an important contribution to the chorus of voices calling for change.” - Chicago Tribune“It’s a lovely book. One wants with all one’s heart to sit with [Kingsolver] on the porch at the end of the day and shell peas.” - Los Angeles Times“Cogent and illuminating...There are many ways for a writer to tell you to eat your vegetables…Barbara Kingsolver’s way is both folksy and smart...Without sentimentality, this book captures the pulse of the farm and the deep gratification it provides, as well as the intrinsic humor of the situation.” - Janet Maslin, New York TimesAbout the AuthorBarbara Kingsolver is the author of ten bestselling works of fiction, including the novels Unsheltered, Fligh

We Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformative Justice (Emergent Strategy Series)

A personal journey into our evolving relationships with animals, and a thought-provoking look at how those bonds are being challenged and reformed across disciplines We love animals, but does that make the animals' lives any happier? With factory farms, climate change and deforestation, this might be the worst time in history to be an animal. If we took animals' experiences seriously, how could we eat, think and live differently? How to Love Animals is a lively and important portrait of our evolving relationship with animals, and how we can share our planet fairly. Mance works in an abattoir and on a pig farm to explore the reality of eating meat and dairy. He explores our dilemmas over hunting wild animals, over-fishing the seas, visiting zoos and saving wild spaces. What might happen if we extended the love we show to our pets to other sentient beings? In an age of extinction and pandemics, our relationship with animals has become unsustainable. Mance argues that there has never been a better time to become vegetarian or vegan, and that the conservation movement can flourish, if people in wealthy countries shrink our footprint. Mance seeks answers from chefs, farmers, activists, philosophers, politicians and tech visionaries who are redefining how we think about animals. Inspired by the author's young daughters, his book is a story of discovery and hope that outlines how we can find a balance with animals that fits with our basic love for them.Product details<ul class="a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list"><li>Publisher ‏ : ‎ Viking</li><li>Language ‏ : ‎ English</li><li>Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 400 pages</li><li>ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1984879650</li><li>ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1984879653</li><li>Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.3 pounds</li><li>Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.18 x 1.22 x 9.26 inches</li></ul>

Fifty years of deep hanging out in California’s Indian country Writer and publisher Malcolm Margolin has been “deep hanging out”—or immersing himself in a social, informal way—in California’s Indian country since the 1970s. This volume collects thirty articles, introductions, and other pieces he wrote about California’s diverse Indian country (well over one hundred tribes), drawn mainly from the quarterly magazine he cofounded in 1987, News from Native California. He shares with his readers the experiences, knowledge, and cultural renewal that California Indians have generously shared with him, often after years of friendship, from the erection of a ceremonial enclosure in Northern California—built to fall apart within a generation so that the knowledge of how to construct one is always current—to a visit by aboriginal Hawaiians in diplomatic recognition of native Southern Californian tribes. He draws on both archives and interviews with elders in longer reports about leadership traditions, pedagogical techniques, and conservation practices in various parts of the state—fascinating glimpses into worldviews very different from those of contemporary America. Filled with insight and affection, as well as some of the most gorgeous writing, Deep Hanging Out will appeal both to newcomers and to those whose roots and hearts reside in the state’s Indian country.Product details<ul class="a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list"><li>Publisher ‏ : ‎ Heyday; 1st edition</li><li>Language ‏ : ‎ English</li><li>Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 272 pages</li><li>ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1597145351</li><li>ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1597145350</li><li>Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.15 pounds</li><li>Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.83 x 1.1 x 8.58 inches</li><li></li></ul>
