Today's steep rises in food prices, driven up by Russia's drought-devastated wheat harvest, present a worrying echo of the past for the authors of a new book.

In "Empires of Food," the authors say civilizations rise and fall on the backs of their food supplies, and the modern world is repeating mistakes that led earlier empires to fall.

Co-author Evan Fraser teaches sustainable development at the University of Leeds in England. But if he had his way, he would have liked to have been born in the Middle Ages.

Ellen Hopkins certainly knows the meaning of creative writing. In her book, Tricks, she articulately tells an intricate story of various teenagers’ lives that somehow end up tied together to express a broader meaning.

The story is filled with complex writing and compelling life stories that create a fascinating reading experience. Along the way of each character’s journey to find a life that suits them, we find that life cannot always lead us the way that will satisfy us and only we can be comfortable and accepting ofwho we are.

From wikipedia:
Fannie Lou Hamer (born Fannie Lou Townsend on October 6, 1917 – March 14, 1977) was an American voting rights activist and civil rights leader.

She was instrumental in organizing Mississippi Freedom Summer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and later became the Vice-Chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, attending the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in that capacity. Her plain-spoken manner and fervent belief in the Biblical righteousness of her cause gained her a reputation as an electrifying speaker and constant champion of civil rights.
