Julie V. Stanton Professor of Business

Book Title: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

Author: Barbara Kingsolver

Selection Statement:

This book illustrates how challenging but rewarding it can be to defy the current geographically broad, heavily corporate food system. The system needs to be redesigned to emphasize justice and local communities, and to reduce the immense impact that our production, manufacturing and marketing practices have on the natural environment. In my own research and teaching, this book's message dovetails nicely with my selection at tenure: Big Business, Poor Peoples (Madeley). We need real change.
