Thinking with Soils
This book presents a novel and systematic social theory of soil, and is representative of the rising interest in ‘the material’ in social sciences.

Breaking the Ashes
The American Omnivore's Dilemma
In the process of starting a farmers market I have been confronted with many differing ideas about organic and sustainable food, from sources as varied as farmers and regulatory agencies to consumers and market volunteers.
