In Food from the Radical Center, Gary Nabhan tells the stories of diverse communities who are getting their hands dirty and bringing back North America's unique fare: bison, sturgeon, camas lilies, ancient grains, turkeys, and more. These efforts have united people in game-changing collaborations: folks from the left and right, from rural and urban communities, with faith-based and science-based backgrounds. Their successes are extraordinary by any measure, whether economic, ecological, or social. The restoration of land and rare species has provided, dollar for dollar, one of the best returns on investment of any conservation initiative.
