Sinossi

Food Banking Systems explores how food banks operate to combat hunger and minimize food waste in a world where food insecurity persists despite abundant production. The book examines the logistics of food collection and distribution, the socio-economic drivers of food insecurity, and the environmental consequences of food waste.

 
Food banks are vital for addressing food insecurity, promoting social equity, and advancing environmental sustainability. Well-managed food banking systems divert food from landfills, reducing waste, and they support vulnerable populations by providing access to essential resources.

 
The book systematically explores food banking models, from national networks to community initiatives, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. It also investigates how food banks address the root causes of food insecurity through partnerships and advocacy.

 
The analysis draws from empirical data, statistical analysis, and case studies, incorporating insights from sociology, economics, environmental science, and public health. It highlights the role food banks play in waste minimization and fostering sustainable communities.

The Last Wilderness

Murray Morgan, Tim McNulty

Murray Morgan's classic history of the Olympic Peninsula, originally published in 1955, evokes a remote American wilderness "as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon." 
 
 
 
Drawing on historical research and personal tales collected from docks, forest trails, and waterways, Morgan recounts vivid adventures of the area's settlers—loggers, hunters, prospectors, homesteaders, utopianists, murderers, profit-seekers, conservationists, Wobblies, and bureaucrats—alongside stories of coastal first peoples and striking descriptions of the peninsula's wildlife and land. 
 
 
 
Freshly redesigned and with a new introduction by poet and environmentalist Tim McNulty, this humor-filled saga and landmark love story of one of the most formidably beautiful regions of the Pacific Northwest will inform and engage a new generation of listeners.
