The Atlas of Food: Who Eats What, Where, and Why
What we eat, where we eat, and how we eat: these questions are explored in this remarkable book, first published in 2002. Now in its second edition, The Atlas of Food provides an up-to-date and visually appealing way of understanding the important issues relating to global food and agriculture. In mapping out broad areas of investigation--contamination of food and water, overnutrition, micronutrient deficiency, processing, farming, and trade--it offers a concise overview of today's food and farming concerns. Buttressed by engaging prose and vivid graphics, Erik Millstone and Tim Lang convincingly argue that human progress depends on resolving global inequality and creating a more sustainable food production system.

My Middle-Aged Baby Book: A Record of Milestones, Millstones & Gallstones
Congratulations, you middle-aged baby. Look what you've grown-baggy arms and knee flaps! And is that a new tooth-or just a lovely cap? And what month did the new hair come in across your ears? A tongue-in-cheek celebration of middle age in the form of a traditional fill-in baby book, my middle-aged baby book is a perfect keepsake for both women ("Is it hot in here or is it just me?") and men ("remember, it's prostate, not prostrate"). It's an irreverent take on the shared symptoms of growing older. Beginning with vital statistics (car phone number, cholesterol count), it provides a permanent place to record memorable Firsts--first liver spot, first espousal of conservative opinions-and a place to remember favorite toys such as the Jeep, rowing machine, and the big screen TV with VCR. There's a middle-aged baby's Horoscope, Favorite Nursery Rhymes, and The Seven Stages on Men's Hair Loss. Thoughtfully printed on anti-glare paper, in large, easy-to-read type, the book is illustrated throughout in full color. Paper over board, Full-color illustration throughout, 96 pages, 8" x 8" ..

The EU and Turkey: A Glittering Prize or a Millstone? (The Federal Trust)
The Federal TrustFounded in 1945 on the initiative of Sir William Beveridge, The Federal Trust has long made a powerful contribution to the study of federalism and federal systems. The Federal Trust has become an important resource of expertise on the European Union and its publishing has for many years informed politicians and policy makers world Is Turkey ready for the European Union, and is the European Union ready for Turkey? Turkey is making great progress in internal modernization and engagement and has come to adopt a moderate Islamic government, whose actions Europeans and others in the West are watching keenly as a possible future model for countries in the Middle East, but the key political and emotive question is whether "Europe" can include a Muslim giant? Are Europe and Islam compatible? Does Turkey's future lie as a potential member of the European club or instead as a mere privileged partner? This book is a multi-disciplinary attempt to illuminate the dimensions of the challenge from different perspectives. Its contributors include academics and analysts, politicians and practitioners from Turkey, Europe, and around the world. .
