Growing vegetables is a rewarding activity in every way. First, there's the fun of choosing what to grow. Then there's the satifaction of preparing your pots or garden plots and sowing seeds and planting seedlings. Next comes the pleasure of cultivation and care. And finally…the magical moment arrives when your vegetables are ripe and ready to harvest and cook. In this world of fast foods and mass production, there's a growing trend towards taking the time to grow your own produce. Brought straight from the soil to the kitchen, home-grown vegetables are not only rich in flavour and goodness…their cultivation and care give you a sense of achievement and pride that no supermarket trip can ever provide. With information on old favourites as well as unusual plants and crops suitable for a child's garden, plus organic options and gardening know-how, this invaluable reference turns the dream of 'growing your own' into reality. No matter whether you have a large garden or a few tubs on a patio, you'll learn what to grow and how to grow it…and how to cook it, too.
Because the original was so popular, the geniuses behind Project ASTRO have created an additional volume of activities. These 25 activities explore and explain mysteries of the universe: the moon's phases, the reasons for the seasons, comets and meteors, stars, and space exploration. Also designed in loose-leaf format, More Universe... is a great supplement to the original, or a perfect sampler if you want to start small.
A looseleaf (3-hole punched, binder not included) resource guide that includes a wide range of activities, annotated resource lists, and background readings, primarily for teachers who would like to incorporate more astronomy into their classroom work but may be held back by their own limited backgr
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
Urban agriculture is rising steadily in popularity in the United States and Canada - there are stories in the popular press, it has an increasingly central place in the growing local food movement, and there is a palpable interest in changing cities to foster both healthier residents and more sustainable communities. The most popular form of urban agriculture, community gardening, contributes significantly to developing social connections, building capacity, and empowering communities in urban neighborhoods. Older, industrial cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo, with their drastic loss of population and their acres of vacant land, are emerging as centers for urban agriculture initiatives - in essence, becoming laboratories for the future role of urban food production in the postindustrial city. Because urban agriculture entails the use of urban land, it has implications for urban land-use planning, which is controlled and regulated by municipal governments and planning agencies. This PAS Report provides authoritative guidance for dealing with the implications of this cutting-edge practice that is changing our cities forever.

Labor and the Locavore focuses on one of the most vibrant local food economies in the country, the Hudson Valley that supplies New York restaurants and farmers markets. Based on more than a decade's in-depth interviews with workers, farmers, and others, Gray clearly documents how the romance of small family farms serves to mask the predicament of their migrant workforce. She also explores the historical roots of farmworkers' substandard conditions and examines the region's shift from black to Latino workers.--Publisher description.
