A matter of taste : a farmers' market devotee's semi-reluctant argument for inviting scientific innovation to the dinner table / by Tucker, Rebecca,1986-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."How did farmers' markets, nose-to-tail, locavorism, organic eating, CSAs, whole foods, and Whole Foods become synonymous with 'good food'? And are these practices really producing food that is morally, environmentally, or economically sustainable? Rebecca Tucker's compelling, reported argument shows that we must work to undo the moral coding that we use to interpret how we come by what we put on our plates. She investigates not only the danger of the accepted rhetoric, but the innovative work happening on farms and university campuses to create a future where nutritious food is climate-change resilient, hardy enough to grow season after season, and, most importantly, available to all ? not just those willing or able to fork over the small fortune required for a perfect heirloom tomato. Tucker argues that arriving at that future will require a broad cognitive shift away from the idea that farmer's markets, community gardens, and organic food production is the only sustainable way forward; more than that, it will require the commitment of research firms, governments, corporations, and postsecondary institutions to develop and implement agri-science innovations that do more than improve the bottom line. A Matter of Taste asks us to rethink what good food really is."--

Confessions of a grammar queen : a novel / by Knight, Eliza,author.;
"1960s New York. Bernadette Swift, a young copyeditor at Lenox & Park Publishing is determined to become the first female CEO in the publishing industry. But first she needs to take the next step up that ladder with a promotion that her boorish and sexist boss wants to thwart. Every day at Lenox & Park is a series of jibs and petty inequities. Thank heavens Bernadette has her dog, Frank -- a sweet and silly Great Dane -- to encourage her and listen to her complaints. Seeking a more human, and female base of support Bernadette joins a feminist women's book club at the New York Public Library. Soon she's inspiring her fellow members to challenge the male gatekeepers and decades of ingrained sexism in their workplaces and pursue their personal and professional dreams. And that is precisely what Bernadette does on a daily basis: keeps her eye on the prize -- equality for women in the workplace, and a promotion -- while fending off the ire of her boss and the sabotaging efforts of a jealous coworker. With the support of her beloved Frank, her book club buddies, and a certain charismatic editor at Lenox & Park who has completely fallen for her, maybe, just maybe, Bernadette will prove able to claim victory for herself and the young women coming after her"--
