CHEESEMONGER
A Life on the Wedge
Gordon Edgar
A politically charged walk through the world
of artisan cheese.
Witty and irreverent, informative and provocative, Cheesemonger: A Life on the Wedge is the
highly readable story of Gordon Edgar’s unlikely career as a cheesemonger at San Francisco’s
worker-owned Rainbow Grocery Cooperative. A former punk-rock political activist, Edgar
bluffed his way into his cheese job knowing almost nothing, but quickly discovered a whole
world of amazing artisan cheeses. There he developed a deep understanding and respect for the
styles, producers, animals, and techniques that go into making great cheese.
With a refreshingly unpretentious sensibility, Edgar intertwines his own life story with his
ongoing love affair with cheese, and offers readers an unflinching, highly entertaining on-the-
ground look at America’s growing cheese movement. From problem customers to animal rights,
business ethics to taste epiphanies, this book offers something for everyone, including cheese
profiles and recommendations for selecting the very best—not just the most expensive—cheeses
from the United States and around the world and a look at the struggles dairy farmers face in
their attempts to stay on and make their living from the land.

Chelsea Green Food • Memoir March 2010
He’d been a cheese buyer longer than I had and referred to himself as a “cheesemonger.” “Tommy, how do you
define ‘cheesemonger’?” I asked.
During the course of the day we hashed out the definition and connotations. Obviously, cheesemonger was
a title that meant “one who buys and sells cheese.” We both liked the history associated with the
word “monger.” Fishmonger, warmonger, whoremonger, etc. Clearly it was a serious
title, and one to be earned.
Cheese lovers sometimes get confused and call themselves cheesemongers. I try to be understanding. After
all, who wants to be called a “turophile?” It sounds like you have a fetish for molesting out-of-town visitors.
Unfortunately, sometimes I’ve heard cheese workers use the title “cheesemonger” after they’ve been at the
job for about five minutes. In doing so, they ignite in me a visceral distrust. Policing this definition cuts both
ways, and I’m sure some folks would question how appropriate it was that I applied the term to myself. And
while my new cheesepunk friend and I talked about the definition and what years of experience, gross sales, and
ratio of factory-to-artisan cheese should be required, he had a few additional rules.
We argued about the rat qualification both on humane grounds and based
on the fact that his urban store might have been in the food business for
100 years, but mine had just been a St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store and
Mack Truck showroom before recently becoming a grocery store. I had had
no opportunity for that kind of vermin killing. That I had killed many
defenseless animals in my hunting-oriented youth convinced Tommy to give
me a pass on that qualification. My dad was right: Those freezing pre-dawn
mornings spent up to my waist in ice-cold water putting out duck decoys
really did pay off.

TERRA MADRE
Forging a New Global Network of Sustainable Food Communities
Carlo Petrini, Founder and President of Slow Food
Foreword by Alice Waters
Industrial agriculture took over the world.
Now Terra Madre is taking it back.
More than twenty years ago, when Italian Carlo Petrini learned that McDonald’s wanted to erect
its golden arches next to the Spanish Steps in Rome, he developed an impassioned response: he
helped found the Slow Food movement. Since then, Slow Food has become a worldwide phe-
nomenon, inspiring the likes of Alice Waters and Michael Pollan. Now, it’s time to take the work
of changing the way people grow, distribute, and consume food to a new level.
On a global scale, as Petrini tells us in Terra Madre, we aren’t eating food. Food is eating us.
Large-scale industrial agriculture has run rampant and penetrated every corner of the world. The
price of food is fixed by the rules of the market, which have neither concern for quality nor
respect for producers. People have been forced into standardized, unnatural diets, and aggressive,
chemical-based agriculture is ravaging ecosystems from the Great Plains to the Kalahari. Food has
been stripped of its meaning, reduced to a mere commodity, and its mass production is contribut-
ing to injustice all over the world.

Foreword by Colin Campbell, Ph. D.
In Confronting Collapse, author Michael P. Ruppert, a former LAPD narcotics officer turned

the ways in which oil shortages and price spikes triggered the economic crash that began in
September 2008. Given the 96 percent correlation between economic growth and greenhouse gas
emissions and the unliklihood of economic growth without a spike in energy use, Ruppert argues
that we are not, in fact, on the verge of economic recovery, but on the verge of complete collapse.
Ruppert’s truth is not merely inconvenient. It is utterly devastating.

Chelsea Green Food • Memoir March 2010
The Earth’s Best Story tells how Ron and Arnie Koss succeeded in creating the first nationally
distributed organic foods company to sit next to its mainstream competition on supermarket
shelves—a step that revolutionized and empowered the organic-foods movement as a whole—
and benefited hundreds of farmers as well as the millions of babies whose very first foods have
been organically grown, thanks to Earth’s Best.
The Koss brothers, Ron and Arnie, had been sprout growers, broommakers, tool restorers, but-
lers, and natural-foods clerks, yet raised millions of dollars to start the first organic baby food
company in the United States. How unlikely was that?
The Earth’s Best Story is a bittersweet tale about the founding of Earth’s Best Baby Foods twenty-
five years ago. Told through the dual narrative of each brother, this is not a business tome,
although it is rich in entrepreneurial lessons and know-how. Rather, it’s more like a “how to,”
“how not to,” and “how they did it” memoir. It’s personal, it’s intense, it’s inspirational, and it’s
full of reflections and tales of wonder and woe.

Ron and Arnie Koss founded Earth’s Best Baby Food in 1985. In addition to baby food, Ron Koss
is a natural foods product innovator. During his long-term employ with the aio Food Group, Ron
has secured patents for his work on complete meal supplement ice cream and has also introduced
specialized complete meal supplements for people in health recovery situations. Presently, he is
working on nutritional products for a global relief aid project. Ron enjoys working as a consultant
for socially responsible enterprises and has a special interest in group dynamics, organizational
development, and conflict resolution. He lives in Montpelier, Vermont, with his family.
Arnie Koss honed his business skills by founding and operating a number of small entrepreneurial
companies in Vermont. He was actively involved in the development of organic certification stan-

The Biochar Debate is the first book to introduce both the promise and concerns surrounding
biochar (fine-grained charcoal used as a soil supplement) to nonspecialists. Charcoal making is
an ancient technology. Recent discoveries suggest it may have a surprising role to play in com-
bating global warming. This is because creating and burying biochar removes carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere. Furthermore, adding biochar to soil can increase the yield of food crops
and the ability of soil to retain moisture, reducing need for synthetic fertilizers and demands on
scarce fresh-water supplies.
While explaining the excitement of biochar proponents, Bruges also gives voice to critics who
argue that opening biochar production and use to global carbon-credit trading schemes could
have disastrous outcomes, especially for the world’s poorest people. The solution, Bruges
explains, is to promote biochar through an alternative approach called the Carbon Maintenance
Fee that avoids the dangers. This would establish positive incentives for businesses, farmers, and
individuals to responsibly adopt biochar without threatening poor communities with displace-

Edupunks, Edupreneurs, and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education
Anya Kamenetz
The case against college, and for education.
The price of college tuition has increased more than any other major good or service for the last
twenty years. Nine out of ten American high school seniors aspire to go to college, yet the United
States has fallen from world leader to only the tenth most educated nation. Almost half of college
students don’t graduate; those who do have unprecedented levels of federal and private student-
loan debt, which constitutes a credit bubble similar to the mortgage crisis.
The system particularly fails the first-generation, the low-income, and students of color who
predominate in coming generations. What we need to know is changing more quickly than
ever, and a rising tide of information threatens to swamp knowledge and wisdom. America can-
not regain its economic and cultural leadership with an increasingly ignorant population. Our
choice is clear: Radically change the way higher education is delivered, or resign ourselves to
never having enough of it.
The roots of the words “university” and “college” both mean community. In the age of constant
connectedness and social media, it’s time for the monolithic, millennium-old, ivy-covered walls
to undergo a phase change into something much lighter, more permeable, and fluid.

AK: There is a large establishment within higher education that wants to preserve the status quo at all cost, but
a growing number understand the dire need for change. Among the folks who are alive to this need, there is an
emerging dichotomy between those who see the need for change as an economic opportunity and those who
see it as an opportunity to instantiate free, open, networked education.
Edupunks are determined that knowledge and learning should be free and open. They want to smash the tradi-
tional hierarchies of education and let learners control what, when, where, and how they learn. They’re commit-
ted to open-source technology and open licensing of creative work. They believe in the power of networks and
communities.
Edupreneurs want to harness some of the same technologies to create new, for-profit business models that
reshape or replace existing educational institutions.
Everyone is madly trying to figure out models to make the brave new world of education sustainable and effi-
cient. Both the edupunks and the edupreneurs have something important to contribute to this process, just as
the Mozilla Foundation, the nonprofit that produces the open-source browser Firefox, can do its thing along-
side Google, a public company. Advocates and innovators of all stripes are actively changing the system, from
major universities, to governments and the UN, to venture-capital firms, to complete outsiders.
How soon do you see the fall of traditional higher education, or at least their giving way to
more technology-driven, open-source models?
AK: These changes are underway. The higher-ed landscape will be virtually unrecognizable within ten years as
more and more people discover alternatives to the tuition cost spiral, not to mention the time, space, and other
limitations of the “old-school” models.
What made you want to write about this, as the daughter of professors, and a Yale
graduate?
AK: As my background indicates, I’m a partisan of the traditional liberal arts and higher education as a whole.
My concern is how the world can satisfy its growing thirst for knowledge—and how America, which has fallen
behind, can catch up.

A PRESIDENCY IN PERIL
The Inside Story of Obama's Promise, Wall Street's Power, and the
Struggle to Control our Economic Future
Robert Kuttner
When Barack Obama took office in January 2009, he had an unprecedented chance to do what
no other recent president could: seize the nation’s financial reins from the corporate elite and
return them to the American people. Progressives everywhere held out hope that their new
leader would take advantage of the economic crisis he stepped into and enact bold policies that

would evoke real financial reforms—putting Main Street in front of Wall Street, at last.

IC FUT URE But that, writes Robert Kuttner, is not the way things turned out. Instead, America’s best
chance for radical financial reform turned into Wall Street’s greatest victory. Obama filled his
administration with allies of financial elites who were more interested in business as usual than
in transformative change. As a consequence, Main Street remained mired in deep recession.

This is a book not to be missed by anyone who wants to understand exactly how Wall Street
won, and how Main Street can still fight back.
Praise for Robert Kuttner and his previous book, Obama's Challenge:
It has become a cliché among pundits that the Democratic Party is hamstrung by interest groups.
Commentators usually have in mind groups that are actually fairly weak politically––blacks, Hispanics,
gays, feminists, schoolteachers, trade unionists. Politicians who propitiate these groups are accused of pan-
dering. The fact that the most powerful interest group of them all, the financial industry, seldom makes
the list, is testament to its quiet power. Princeton University political scientist Larry Bartels observes, “In
the 1930s and 1940s, Democrats went as far as the South would let them go. Since the 1990s, they’ve
gone as far as Wall Street will let them go.” That power structure needs to be dislodged before real reform
can proceed.
In principle, Obama is free to toss out his top aides and bring in a new team. Bill Clinton repeatedly shuf-
fled his advisors. So did Lincoln. But, as we shall see, the threads that link Obama’s political aides to his
Wall Street–dominated group of top economic advisers will not be easily sundered. The addiction of this
administration to flows of Wall Street’s political money reinforces the impulse to go easy on the financial
industry. Obama’s style is to delegate and to proceed with extreme caution. To shift course and lead a dif-
ferent economic team with drastically different views and goals, Obama would have to grow immensely in
office.
It is, of course, too early for a definitive judgment. History reminds us that Lincoln, in mid-1862, was fac-
ing a bleak military and political landscape. His peers considered him a failure. His greatness came later.
John Kennedy, judged a year and a half into his term, looked like a pretty disappointing president, too.
Often, wisdom ripens with experience––and Obama is nothing if not a learner.
Sometimes, however, leaders fail to seize moments pregnant with possibility. Sometimes, to invert a much-
loved verse of the poet Seamus Heaney, hope and history don’t rhyme. The British historian A.J.P. Taylor,
referring to the revolutionary year 1848, when nationalist revolutions in central Europe seeking self-deter-
mination and liberal democracy were all aborted, memorably characterized the events as a turning point of
history on which history failed to turn. We will soon learn whether our own era is such a time.
In Obama’s fateful first year, there was a road not taken, a possible road to radical financial reform, broad
prosperity, and the mobilization of an appreciative citizenry. This book explains how the key decisions
unfolded, the stakes, and the alternatives, as we look forward to the second half of Obama’s term. There is
still time for him to redeem his presidency. But that time is fast running out.

Could there ever be an alternative stock exchange dedicated to slow, small, and local? Could a

UP TUNKET ROAD
The Education of a Modern Homesteader
Philip Ackerman-Leist
Illustrations by Erin Ackerman-Leist
Simple living has never been so complicated.
Ever since Thoreau’s Walden, the image of the American homesteader has been of someone get-
ting away from civilization, of forging an independent life in the country. Yet if this were ever
true, what is the nature and reality of homesteading in the media-saturated, hyper-connected
21st century?
For seven years Philip Ackerman-Leist and his wife, Erin, lived without electricity or running water
in an old cabin in the beautiful but remote hills of western New England. Slowly forging their own
farm and homestead, they took inspiration from their experiences among the mountain farmers of
the Tirolean Alps and were guided by their Vermont neighbors, who taught them about what it
truly means to live sustainably in the postmodern homestead—not only to survive, but to thrive in
a fragmented landscape and a fractured economy.
Up Tunket Road is the inspiring true story of a young couple who embraced the joys of simple
living while also acknowledging its frustrations and complexities. Ackerman-Leist writes with

“Green” has gone mainstream and, for many companies, caring for the environment is not just a
philosophy, it’s a marketing strategy. So how does a company that’s genuinely committed to
green principles differentiate itself from its greenwashing competitors?
Brand expert Richard Seireeni interviewed more than thirty eco-capitalists from a broad range
of industries—home improvement, transportation, household products, food and beverage,
energy, real estate, finance, and fashion. The collective experiences of leaders like Gary
Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farms, Jeffrey Hollender of Seventh Generation, and the grandsons of
soapmaker Dr. Bronner provide a rich source of wisdom for green businesses getting off the
ground or for any business aiming to improve its environmental performance.
Seireeni shows how green entrepreneurs leveraged their brands by successfully navigating the “Gort
Cloud”—a term coined by the author to describe the vast and largely invisible network of NGOs,
trendspotters, advocacy groups, social networks, business alliances, certifying organizations, and
other members of the green community that have the power to make or break new green brands.

tures are mycophilic (mushroom-loving), like those of Russia and Eastern Europe, while others are
intensely mycophobic (mushroom-fearing), including the US. He shares stories from China, Japan,
and Korea—where mushrooms are interwoven into the fabric of daily life as food, medicine, fable,
and folklore—and from Slavic countries where whole families leave villages and cities during rainy
periods of the late summer and fall and traipse into the forests for mushroom-collecting excursions.

In a landmark investigation that’s been compared to Silent Spring, two veteran journalists defini-
tively show how, why, and where industrial toxins are causing rates of birth defects, asthma, cancer,
and other serious illnesses to soar in children. Philip and Alice Shabecoff reveal that the children of
baby boomers—the first to be raised in a truly toxified world—are the first generation to be sicker
and have shorter life expectancies than their parents. The culprits, they say, are the companies that
profit from producing, using, and selling toxics.
In piercing case histories, the authors bring readers to places like Dickson, Tennessee, where
babies were born with cleft lips and palates after landfill chemicals seeped into the water, and Port
Neches, Texas, where so many graduates of a high school near synthetic rubber and chemical
plants contracted cancer that the school was nicknamed “Leukemia High.”
And they ask a razor-sharp question: Just why are we letting corporations commit these crimes
against our children, sabotage investigations and regulations, hire scientists to skew data on
toxic impacts, and fend off government controls with powerful lobbying groups?

It’s been almost a century and a half since a critical mass of Americans believed that secession
was an American birthright. But breakaway movements large and small are rising up across the
nation. From Vermont to Alaska, activists driven by all manner of motives want to form new
states—and even new nations.
So, just what’s happening out there? The American Empire is dying, says Bill Kauffman in this
incisive, eye-opening investigation into modern-day secession—the next radical idea poised to enter
mainstream discourse. And those rising up to topple that empire are a surprising mix of conserva-
tives, liberals, regionalists, and independents who—from movement to movement—may share few
political beliefs but who have one thing in common: a sense that our nation has grown too large,
and too powerfully centralized, to stay true to its founding principles.

There has never been a better time to be making and selling great cheese. People worldwide are con-
suming more high-quality, handmade cheese than ever before. The number of artisan cheesemakers
has doubled in recent years, and many of the industry’s newcomers are “farmstead” producers—
those who work only with the milk of their own animals. Today, more than ever before, the people
who choose to become farmer-cheesemakers need access to the knowledge of established cheese arti-
sans who can help them build their dream.
Few career choices lead to such extremes of labor, emotion, and monetary challenge. In The

RADICAL HOMEMAKERS
Reclaiming Domesticity from a Consumer Culture
Shannon Hayes
Essential reading on a lifestyle change that will be
embraced by many in the years to come.
Mother Nature has shown her hand. Faced with climate change, dwindling resources, and
species extinctions, most Americans understand the fundamental steps necessary to solve our
global crises—drive less, consume less, increase self-reliance, buy locally, eat locally, rebuild our
local communities.
In essence, the great work we face requires rekindling the home fires.
Radical Homemakers is about men and women across the U.S. who focus on home and hearth
as a political and ecological act, and who have centered their lives around family and commu-
nity for personal fulfillment and cultural change. It explores what domesticity looks like in an
era that has benefited from feminism, where domination and oppression are cast aside and
where the choice to stay home is no longer equated with mind-numbing drudgery, economic
insecurity, or relentless servitude.

Climate change is inescapable. Even if the whole world stopped pumping carbon dioxide into
the sky today, at least forty years of climate change are ahead of us, thanks to the long time lag
within the Earth’s ecosystem. As the century progresses, extremes will become more common:
heat waves, drought, storms, and floods will test the design of our buildings and the resilience of
our communities. We also face the slow rise of sea levels and the secondary impacts of climate
change, especially on energy and food security.
Across the world, communities have been living with such extremes for millennia. If we have
the imagination to learn from others and rethink the ways we build and live together, we can
face this unsettling future with confidence.

EARTH PILGRIM
Satish Kumar
Being on a pilgrimage doesn’t necessarily mean travel-
ling from one place to another—it means a state of
mind, a state of consciousness, a state of fearlessness.
In Earth Pilgrim, Satish Kumar draws on his personal experience and also his understanding of
the spiritual traditions of both East and West. The book takes the form of conversations
between Kumar and others about the inner and outer aspects of pilgrimage: “To be a pilgrim is
to be on a path of adventure, to move out of our comfort zones, to let go of our prejudices and
preconditioning, to make strides towards the unknown.” If we want to tread the pilgrim’s path,
we need to go beyond ideas of good and evil and to be dedicated to our quest—to our natural
calling. We need to shed not just our unnecessary material possessions but also our burdens of
fear, anxiety, doubt, and worry; in this way we can find spiritual renewal and enter on the great
adventure into the unknown.
Kumar believes that at this stage of human history we now need a new kind of pilgrim, unattached
to any form of dogma—“Earth Pilgrims” who are concerned with this world, not the next, and
• Pub Date February 2010
who are seeking a deep commitment to life in the here and now, upon this Earth, in this world.

From the Introduction . . .
We can relate to our planet Earth in two ways. Either we can act as tourists
and look at the Earth as a source of goods and services for our use, pleasure
and enjoyment, or we can act as Earth Pilgrims and treat the planet with rev-
erence and gratitude. Tourists value the Earth and all her natural riches only in
terms of their usefulness to themselves. Pilgrims perceive the planet as sacred,
and recognize the intrinsic value of all life. The living Earth, with all its grace
and beauty, is good in itself.

This groundbreaking new book expands the concept of food gardening to embrace the whole
garden. The new food garden is centered around the intensive vegetable garden, but doesn’t stop
there. It puts hedges, ponds, pathways, arbors, lawns, roofs, and walls to work as additional
growing space for food plants. Fruit and nut trees, bush fruit, edible vines, perennial vegetables,
herbs, annual crops, aquatic plants, weeds, and edible wild plants are used to increase the quanti-
ty and variety of foods available with little extra work. The author doesn’t just look upon the
garden as a place to grow food, however; it is a place to be lived in and used, so he also concen-
trates on making it beautiful, comfortable, and efficient. He describes practical ways in which
the garden can help us to reduce our impact on the earth. Included is advice on making the gar-
den pay for itself, or even to provide an income. The author’s ultimate aim is to change the way
we approach the garden so that it feeds, heals, and nurtures us. The productive garden should be
an integral part of the home, and growing food should be a part of everyday life.

An inclusive and sympathetic workbook for anyone

Birthrites offers practical advice for potential parents. However, rather than concentrating solely

Permanent Publications Green Building February 2010
Designed as a dual-purpose book, The Woodland House is both a volume for the armchair
enthusiast and an inspirational guide for those wishing to build a similar structure. Beautifully
illustrated with more than 100 color photos, this step-by-step guide shows how Ben built his
home, hewn from his own woodland, for under $45,000. It covers the basics of self-building
and gives full details of the evolving design process, the identifying of materials, costs, project
management, and the actual building stages, from foundations and frames, through to interior
features. Includes a seven-year update detailing the extension of the house, natural insulation
trials, and round-wood engineering calculations.
The building of Ben’s house was filmed for the Grand Design television series and has proved to be
the most popular program of the series. He has also been featured on the Discovery Channel and
Home & Garden Network’s The World’s Most Extreme Homes.

As a Bay Area and Wine Country chef and caterer for more than thirty years, Pauli Halstead
served up stellar cuisine at many of California’s world-class wineries, at elegant country wed-
dings, and for private clients. Now, in Cuisine for Whole Health, Halstead shares what she

grass-fed meats, pastured poultry and dairy products, and organic vegetables, nuts, seeds and
berries – are still the best choices for optimizing physical and mental health. Cuisine for Whole
Health presents a straightforward argument for a diet that is gluten-free, refined-free, chemical,
antibiotic and hormone-free, and Halstead includes many simple and delicious recipes honed
from her years as a world-class chef.

ASIAN VEGETABLES
A Guide to Growing Fruit, Vegetables and Spices from the Indian Subcontinent
Sally Cunningham
Don't just eat Indian food—grow it!
Asian Vegetables is a unique and fascinating book that broadens the kitchen gardener’s horizons
and genuinely says something new.
Asian Vegetables brings together a wealth of information on over 40 varieties of fruit, vegetables
and spices that are grown on the Indian subcontinent and form a distinctive part of the unique
cuisine in that part of the world.
Each plant comes together with details of what to look for when buying, the different varieties
available, their nutritional value, comprehensive cultivation instructions, useful colour photo-
graphs and much more. Most can be grown almost anywhere, though some will grow best and
thrive in the warmer, wetter parts of this country. The author Sally Cunningham has personally
researched, grown, cooked and eaten every plant mentioned in this book.
With this unique guide both the experienced gardener and those new to growing will bring vari-
ety and a fresh, new dimension to the food on their plates and the plants in their garden.

Chelsea Green Politics & Social Justice Previously Announced
When journalist-turned-lawyer Charlotte Dennett became outraged that Bush White House
officials were acting above the law, she did something that surprised even herself. While run-
ning for a state attorney general seat, she pledged to prosecute George W. Bush for murder if
elected. She lost the race, but found a nationwide movement—one that continues its quest to
hold leaders accountable to U.S. law and preserve a Constitutional presidency.
In The People v. Bush, Dennett recounts her seminal effort to make Bush answerable for sending
troops to Iraq on false pretenses, introduces readers to a world where the actions of a few can
indeed empower the many, and reports on the current state of the movement to hold Bush
accountable for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Dennett’s wild ride through politics began when she read in The Prosecution of George W. Bush
for Murder, by lawyer Vincent Bugliosi, that a state attorney general could prosecute George W.

With these stories and her own, Dennett shows that it’s not just possible but necessary to hold
higher-ups responsible for heinous acts—not out of revenge, but to preserve justice and defend
the Constitution.
“George Bush took America to war in Iraq on a lie, causing incalculable death, hor-
ror and suffering. In this very important and consequential book, Charlotte Dennett .
. . informs all who care deeply about this country what has to be done so that it
never happens again.”
