This month's selection is:

Food & Freedom : How the Slow Food Movement is Changing the World Through Gastronomy by Carlo Petrini ; translated by John Irving.

If people can feed themselves, they can be free. In other words, if people can regain control over access to their food—how it is produced, by whom, and how it is distributed—then that can lead to a greater empowerment in all channels of life. Whether in the Amazon jungle talking with tribal elders or on rice paddies in rural Indonesia, the author engages the reader through the excitement of his journeys and the passion of his mission.
