Book Reviews of The Fatal Harvest Reader
Book Review: academic
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a collection of essays with a lot of intellectual ruminating. It is valuable for that reason, providing a collection of writings on commercial food production in one place. It is essential reading for those passionate about sustainability. It is for those who enjoy reading a certain style of writing that I call academic (I'm not one of those people, so I'm not the best judge). For something more approachable (some would call "pop") I would recommend Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma.
