Bitter Harvest
by Ann Cooper
"The history of food is not as straightforward as it may seem. Food isn't just food. It is ritual, tradition and memory." So begins Ann Cooper's groundbreaking new book on the history of sustenance. Cooper, a renowned chef and graduate of New York's famed Culinary Institute of America, expertly guides us from the roots of agriculture in North America through the profound changes initiated by the Industrial Revolution, all the way up to the present day, offering analyses of recent controversies such as Europe's campaign against Frankenstein food and the genetic engineering of plants and animals in the United States. Throughout, Cooper takes both a macro and micro approach, examining the effect politics, technology, war, international trade and agribusiness have had on the world's food supply, as well as the changing social patterns which have made a family meal at the table almost a relic of the past.

The Food Question: Profits Versus People
Bernstein, Henry; Crow, Ben, Mackintosh, Maureen; Martin, Charlotte (Editors)
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Monthly Review Pr, 1990. The urgency of the food question is illustrated most dramatically by the contrast between wasteful overconsumption in the developed capitalist countries and the continuing, in many cases worsening, hunger of millions in the third world. The contributors look at food production systems, from peasant farming to multinational agribusiness; how markets for food work at the international, national, and local levels; and at food aid, who gets to eat what - and why. 214 pages.. ISBN: 085-345-8049. Paperback. Very Good. FOOD SUPPLY INDUSTRY TRADE TECHNOLOGY. ( more information)
