Seeds of Resistance, Seeds of Hope: Place and Agency in the Conservation of Biodiversity
ISBN: 9780816530144 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Food is more than simple sustenance. It feeds our minds as well as our bodies. It nurtures us emotionally as well as physically. It holds memories. In fact, one of the surprising consequences of globalization and urbanization is the expanding web of emotional attachments to farmland, to food growers, and to place. And there is growing affection, too, for home gardening and its "grow your own food" ethos.

Heirloom Seeds and Their Keepers : Marginality and Memory in the Conservation of Biological Diversity
ISBN: 9780816524358 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Farmers and gardeners have long appreciated a wide variety of plants and have nurtured them for meals, healing, and exchange.
