When Bob Quinn was a kid, a stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to his family's farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn't health or the environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance encounters led him to organics.

A great primer on the business of organic farming
Revisado: 01-13-22
The author does a great job of showing how his organic farming has benefitted his farm, his finances, his family, and his community. He had many advantages to start with including access to land and equipment. He was able to step out of the typical industrialize agriculture that is termed conventional and succeed in the organic market. While creating that success he helped many others succeed and has started to repopulate his small town in Montana.
This book is a good primer showing how this kind of food based, placed based economic development can work and how to look at your surroundings with new eyes to see possibilities.

Good engaging story
Revisado: 10-19-15
What did you love best about Schooled?
I read it first and enjoyed the book. The characters are interesting and it is a view of a world that I am truly only on the outskirts of.
What did you like best about this story?
The pace of the story is very good. It is a quick read or listen and but fun.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tassoula Kokkoris?
I don't know if it is the production but there was a lot so white noise in the recording. Tassoula sound like she is reading more than perfroming. The voices were good and consistent. I did find her narration somewhat boring.

Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of human-animal relations, based on Herzog's groundbreaking research on animal rights activists, cockfighters, professional dog show handlers, veterinary students, and biomedical researchers. Blending anthropology, history, brain science, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy, Herzog carefully crafts a seamless narrative.

Capturing all the complexity and grand themes of the original, this prequel to the Dune series weaves a new tapestry of betrayal, passion, and destiny into a saga that expands the tale written by Frank Herbert more than 30 years ago.
