The Arizona Daily Star recently featured reviews of books by regional authors, including University of Arizona Press author Paul Minnis and his new book, Famine Foods: Plants We Eat to Survive.
From Helene Woodhams on Famine Foods:
“‘A starving man does not sniff his food.’ Paul E. Minnis, professor emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma, prefaces this volume with an old Ukrainian adage that prepares the reader for an extensive survey of comestibles you hope you’ll never have to eat — but that you probably should be aware of all the same. As Minnis ably demonstrates, the threat of starvation is as close as the next political upheaval, severe water shortage, or climate catastrophe.”
