    When Barbara Kingsolver and her family move from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they take on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle follows the family through the first year of their experiment.

    Story

    Excellent book, beautifully read. I love Barbara Kingsolver's books but this one was particularly good. I learned a lot and enjoyed the story immensely. She reads with such care for the words of her story--I highly recommend it.

    Here is a dazzling intellectual inquiry into the nature of truth and the relationship between art and science. In this technology-driven age, it's tempting to believe that science can solve every mystery. After all, science has cured countless diseases and even sent humans into space. But as Jonah Lehrer argues in this sparkling and original book, science is not the only path to knowledge.

    Story

    The narrator is a barrier to enjoying this book. His rhythm is irritating--sounds like he's giving a 6pm news cast--and his pronunciation is embarrassing. A book that uses so much French and many biological terms should be read by someone who doesn't butcher the pronunciation as this narrator does. It's a good book, but I would read the hard copy and find another audio book.
