 The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places
(Hardcover)
By Bernie Krause
List Price: $26.99
Our Price: $18.89
(Save: $8.10 30%)
Bernie Krause is one of the world's experts in natural sound, and here we listen through Krause's ears as he collects the sounds of purring jaguars, snapping shrimp, cracking glaciers--and the roar of the wild. It is an intensely personal narrative of life as it hits the ears, and of the planet's deeply connected natural sounds and music.
Krause also shows that just as streetlights drown out the stars, human noise is vanishing the sounds of nature--and the very soundscapes that help us understand how wild sound and music connect.
A travelogue of sound based on a lifetime of study, this account will leave you hearing--and seeing--nature as never before.
 Where Am I Wearing: A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes
(Paperback)
By Kelsey Timmerman
List Price: $18.95
Our Price: $13.27
(Save: $5.69 30%)
A journalist travels the world to trace the origins of our clothes
When journalist and traveler Kelsey Timmerman wanted to know where his clothes came from and who made them, he began a journey that would take him from Honduras to Bangladesh to Cambodia to China and back again. "Where Am I Wearing?" intimately describes the connection between impoverished garment workers' standards of living and the all-American material lifestyle. By introducing readers to the human element of globalization--the factory workers, their names, their families, and their way of life--"Where Am I Wearing" bridges the gap between global producers and consumers. New content includes: a visit to a fair trade Ethiopian shoe factory that is changing lives one job at time; updates on how workers worldwide have been squeezed by rising food costs and declining orders in the wake of the global financial crisis; and the author's search for the garment worker in Honduras who inspired the first edition of the book Kelsey Timmerman speaks and universities around the country and maintains a blog at www.whereamiwearing.com. His writing has appeared in the "Christian Science Monitor" and "Conde Nast Portfolio," and has aired on NPR.
Enlightening and thought-provoking at once, "Where Am I Wearing?" puts a human face on globalization.
 Deliverance from Evil
(Paperback)
By Frances Hill
List Price: $14.95
Our Price: $10.47
(Save: $4.49 30%)
In an era of uncertain survival in the New World, the Devil himself was believed to prey on society--and his witches could be convicted by mere children. "Deliverance from Evil" brings to life the Salem witch trials, one of the most uncanny times in our nation's history. Young girls in trances pointed out neighbors, leaders, relatives--over 150 people were arrested, with many hanged for their supposed sins. Frances Hill, author of "A Delusion of Satan," brings her deep historical and political understanding together with her honed skills as a novelist to produce a picture of the trials both realistic and emotional. She has written an extraordinary and gripping novel of hysteria, power plays, and love in colonial America.
 The Taste of Tomorrow: Dispatches from the Future of Food
(Hardcover)
By Josh Schonwald
List Price: $25.99
Our Price: $18.19
(Save: $7.80 30%)
A fascinating look at the people, trends, and technologies transforming the food of today and tomorrow
In "The Taste of Tomorrow," journalist Josh Schonwald sets out on a journey to investigate the future of food. His quest takes him across the country and into farms and labs around the globe. From Alice Waters' microfarm to a Pentagon facility that has quietly shaped American supermarkets, "The Taste of Tomorrow" is a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse at what we eat today--and what we'll be eating tomorrow.
Schonwald introduces us to a motley group of mad scientists, entrepreneurs, renegade farmers, and food engineers who are revolutionizing the food we eat. We meet the Harvard-trained pedia-trician who wants to change the way humans raise fish; a New York chef who believes he's found the next great ethnic cuisine; a lawyer-turned-nanotechnologist who believes he can solve human nutritional needs without using food.
In this lively and fascinating book, Schonwald explains how new foods happen; why some foods explode on the scene virtually overnight while others take decades--and countless failures--to catch on. And he doesn't shy away from controversy. Although the book begins as a simple search for "the salad, meat, seafood, and pad Thai of the future," Schonwald becomes increasingly focused on finding "environmentally friendly" foods of the future. Ultimately, he comes to believe that emerging scientific breakthroughs--genetic engineering, nanotechnology, food processing--are essential to feeding the globe's expanding (and hungry) population.
