Small-Scale Grain Raising, Second Edition: An Organic Guide to Growing, Processing, and Using Nutritious ...5 reviews
Gene Logsdon

Chelsea Green Publishing, 2009

After 32 Years, It's About Time
Thank goodness, we can now put our 32-year-old copy of this book out to pasture; it is falling apart at the seams. We bought a copy from a used bookseller about 5 years ago, and have used it to formulate an approach for small-scale grain raising. Our old book has become considerably more threadbare than it already was. This book introduces grain growing to the gardener or small-acreage ...

Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor63 reviews
Peter Reinhart

Ten Speed Press, 2007

The best there is!
Whole grain baking doesn't get any more specific than this, and whole grain breads don't get any tastier. I've made the sweetest and lightest breads I ever baked using this book; the techniques are very different from how I learned to make whole wheat bread, and they work much better. It really doesn't take longer to make this way. You have to plan ahead, but the actual ...

The No-Grain Diet57 reviews
Joseph Mercola

Plume, 2004

Just like new and a great book!
This is an excellent book. Dr. Mercola is not afraid to speak the truth about grains and sugars or anything that concerns our health and welfare. For most people, our bodies can't handle all the grain and starch that we are told to eat by the FDA and the food pyramid. So many people could lose weight, get rid of stomach and bowel problems, protect themselves against cancer if they'd get off the ...

King Arthur Flour

Countryman, 2006

For those who can't decide...
... if they want to get this book: these are great recipes! I have tried three of them and so far have not been disappointed. Baking with whole wheat flour is not that easy. One runs the risk of producing hard products, that don't have a lot of flavor. But with the recipes from this book, everything turned out great and the flavor is very good. The people at King Arthur have done their ...

Going Against the Grain: How Reducing and Avoiding Grains Can Revitalize Your Health45 reviews
Melissa Smith

McGraw-Hill, 2002

A Wonderful Introduction to Grain Free Living
The virtue of whole grains is the latest conventional wisdom from the food industry. In reality whole grains are not as wonderful as they seem. All gains and seeds contain a certain amount of phytic acid and it is concentrated in the bran. The phytic acid binds with the minerals in your food and conveys them out of your system. Brown rice, for example, contains vastly more minerals than white ...

Its premise is that our nature as hunter-gatherers is diametrically opposed with our agricultural/civilization way of life. Indeed civilization benefits only a small percentage of society.

William Carlos Williams

New Directions, 2009

Cotton Mather: Fat and Dumb?
I have just finished reading this book for the second time, once in depth in college as a history major. Now a second time for pleasure as I have retired from fifty years of teaching. America as a nation that will not read: just ask me, papers about the wrong book, "it had a (title)name that was close" I was told more than once? Every Amarican Indian should read this book as well as Dee Brown's ...
