The Good Eater - A Vegan’s...

Nina Guilbeault

For years, there has been no doubt that widespread consumption of meat is both environmentally destructive and morally dubious. A growing chorus of scientists, health experts, and activists champion the benefits of a plant-based diet. Nevertheless, change has been slow to arrive, and the chasm between our appetites and our collective well-being seems impossibly vast. We know we must transition to a more plant-based world. But what would such a world look like, and how do we realistically get there? 
 
 
 
One group of people has been grappling with this question for decades: vegans. Once mocked for its hempy puritanism, the vegan movement has grown into a veritable cultural juggernaut. Yet visions of what our food system should look like continue to conflict. Is the healthful vegan lifestyle appealing—or alienating? Are high-tech meat alternatives merely a repeat performance of harmful fast-food values? Is modern veganism itself misguided—a wrong answer to the right questions? 
 
 
 
In The Good Eater, Harvard-trained sociologist (and vegan) Nina Guilbeault, PhD, vividly explores the movement's history and its present-day tensions by grappling with the most fundamental question of all: Is there a truly ethical way to eat? What emerges is a fascinating portrait of how social change happens, with profound implications for our plates-and our planet.

Some Forgotten Pennsylvania...

Henry W. Shoemaker

Some Forgotten Pennsylvania Heroines is a reflective and dignified tribute to women whose courage helped shape American history but whose names rarely appear in standard accounts. 
Written in the early twentieth century, Henry W. Shoemaker’s historical address and biographical sketches move beyond fame and rank to honor women whose lives were defined by endurance, service, and moral resolve. From the Pennsylvania frontier to the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, these narratives illuminate acts of quiet heroism carried out in cabins, villages, battlefields, and along the edges of recorded history. 
Listeners encounter figures such as Mary Jemison, who lived among the Seneca; Regina Hartman, recognized after years of captivity by a familiar hymn; and the enduring symbol of “Molly Pitcher,” whose wartime bravery was followed by hardship and obscurity. The collection also remembers frontier women who defied danger, protected their communities, preserved faith and family under extreme conditions, and bore loss without recognition—including stories tied to Gettysburg, the Pennsylvania wilderness, and early American settlements. 
Narrated with clarity and restraint by Margaret Hnat, this audiobook preserves the tone of a commemorative address—measured, reverent, and purposeful—inviting listeners to reflect on lives lived with resolve rather than acclaim. 
Some Forgotten Pennsylvania Heroines stands as an act of historical remembrance, restoring attention to women whose character, sacrifice, and public spirit helped shape a nation.
