The majority of his fiction and non-fiction reflects Waters’ wide interest in the culture and religion of Navajo Hopi Pueblo and pre-Columbian peoples. <br /> <br /> From the dust jacket-<br /> <br /> The man who killed the deer was Martiniano a Pueblo Indian. Like many of his tribe he was sent away as a youth to an 'away-school' where he learned the ways of the white man. But when he returned Martiniano found himself outcast from his tribe when he refused to participate in the ancient tribal dances to wear a blanket to cut the heels off his shoes or to let his hair grow long. When he married Flowers Playing a beautiful girl from the distant Ute tribe his estrangement from his pueblo grew more acute but not as acute as that fateful day when he shot and killed a deer on the government reservation. This precipitated swift action by the Government against the Pueblo which had been trying for many years to regain its sacred Dawn Lake in the region of the watershed under the Government's protection.

2021bsdt 0000302 89jhg op 200<p>Probable First Printing First Edition; Does not comply with McBride7 but has "1st printing" on copywrite page.</p><p>From chef and food activist Alice Waters an impassioned plea for a radical reconsideration of the way each and every one of us cooks and eats<br /><br />In We Are What We Eat Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture the philosophy at the core of her life's work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971 she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. Customers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients to the dishes made by hand and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space—human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout frozen dinners and prepackaged ingredients. Waters came to see that the phenomenon of fast food culture which prioritized cheapness availability and speed was not only ruining our health but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another.<br /><br />Over years of working with regional farmers Waters and her partners learned how geography and seasonal fluctuations affect the ingredients on the menu as well as about the dangers of pesticides the plight of fieldworkers and the social economic and environmental threats posed by industrial farming and food distribution. So many of the serious problems we face in the world today—from illness to social unrest to economic disparity and environmental degradation—are all at their core connected to food. Fortunately there is an antidote. Waters argues that by eating in a "slow food way" each of us—like the community around her restaurant—can be empowered to prioritize and nurture a different kind of culture one that champions values such as biodiversity seasonality stewardship and pleasure in work.<br /><br />This is a declaration of action against fast food values and a working theory about what we can do to change the course. As Waters makes clear every decision we make about what we put in our mouths affects not only our bodies but also the world at large—our families our communities and our environment. We have the power to choose what we eat and we have the potential for individual and global transformation—simply by shifting our relationship to food. All it takes is a taste.</p> Penguin Press hardcover
