These men were there.”–MARK BOWDEN (from the Foreword)It started as a mission to capture a Somali warlord. It turned into a disastrous urban firefight and death-defying rescue operation that shocked the world and rattled a great nation.

Karyn Calabrese is Chicago's premier vegan and raw restauranteur and champion for holistic living. Her timeless beauty, youthful physique, and boundless energy are testaments to the lifestyle habits she advocates. Her latest cookbook is divided into two sections: one features popular cooked recipes from her restaurants Karyn's Cooked and Karyn's on Green, and the other focuses on her favorite raw recipes from Karyn's Fresh Corner. Here are two endorsements that speak volumes of the food you can now create in the comfort of home: "To call Karyn Calabrese's food exceedingly healthy is beside the point. It is, but more importantly, everything she touches in the kitchen becomes magically delicious. It's one of the reasons I live fifty feet from one of her restaurants. My wife and I are avid fans, not only of her restaurants but also of Karyn's holistic approach to life. Just look at her-enough said, right? To distill good nutrition and high sensuality into your cuisine is the true definition of culinary artistry. Run-don't wait-to buy this book. Three cheers, Karyn. You are the best." Charlie Trotter, author and chef-owner, Charlie Trotter's. "How I wish I could sit at Karyn's table every day to be nourished sufficiently. I know that eating this way is what provides and prolongs superior health and vitality, but beyond that is the fact that this food tastes so good. Now I can eat like this at home. Thanks Karyn."

Thirty years ago, Frances Moore Lappé started a revolution in the way Americans think about food and hunger. Now Frances and her daughter, Anna, pick up where Diet for a Small Planet left off. Together they set out on an around-the-world journey to explore the greatest challenges we face in the new millennium. Traveling to Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe, they discovered answers to one of the most urgent issues of our time: whether we can transcend the rampant consumerism and capitalism to find the paths that each of us can follow to heal our lives as well as the planet. Featuring nearly seventy recipes from celebrated vegetarian culinary pioneers-including Alice Waters, Mollie Katzen, Laurel Robertson, Nora Pouillon, and Anna Thomas-Hope's Edge highlights true trailblazers engaged in social, environmental, and economic transformations.  Thirty years after Frances Lappe's Diet for a Small Planet changed eating habits around the world, she and her daughter Anna bring us a new round of iconoclastic recommendations that break overwhelming issues down to a simple matter of personal choice. Hope's Edge presents many of the same issues of the original title, but it also provides a wealth of new discoveries and possibilities in this era of genetically engineered foods, worldwide famine, and growing rates of obesity-related health issues. Beyond discussing a wide range of reasons to become a vegetarian (and that means no fish or chicken either, folks), the authors introduce you to a number of individual reasons for hope--Bob, the Wisconsin cheese maker; Jean-Yves, the farmer from Brittany who created the Sustainable Agriculture Network; and Muhammad Yunas, who has changed the lives of countless living in poverty with his remarkable microcredit programs. Along with these stories and the theories they're based on, you'll also find luscious recipes calling for grains, fruits, vegetables, and a handful of dairy products that will delight your taste buds and your conscience. The Lappes firmly believe that...
