@Amy, don't say Half Price Books is the best you'll get in Wisconsin. Maybe Madison, but there are plenty of good & great indies in Wisco. Just look for them.

Why a squirrel? Well, squirrels are great conservationists; they need to be able to store their supply of nuts for the entire winter. Also, they're just rats with long, cute tails, and we're suckers for long, cute tails. So think of squirrels when you carry your Powell's purchases around in this 100...

Karen, I hear ya about squirrels! I got attacked by one at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle! It was Thanksgiving Day and my husband and I were standing outside. A squirrel was staring up at me and all of a sudden he jumped on my shoulder. It scared me so bad that I screamed and he bolted out of there and ran away! I hated scaring him but I was so afraid that he was going to bite me! I'm glad I'm not the only one that has been "attacked"!

Powell's Books, Inc. We've got good news, and... good news. Jonathan Safran Foer has a new book, and he'll be at the Burnside store on Wednesday the 4th at 7:30 to talk about it. Which also means we have signed preorders available for sale online. Make that three pieces of good news.

On the brink of fatherhood — and facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf — Jonathan Safran Foer's casual attitude toward food takes on a new urgency.

oh yea? where do you think they are raising that beefsteak and mutton? the food we eat and where it comes from is a very complicated issue...there are many things people can do, there is no right answer for all of us...becomming a vegan makes people aware, it makes them care about the food we eat and why and that is how we start to resolve the food crisis.

Our consumption of seafood in western countries ensures third world countries who rely on fishing go without. The seas are so depleted now and fisherman in small villages casting nets are no match for the 400 ft trawlers we deploy to vacuum the sea floor for anything and everything remaining that's edible. If we gave it a rest, others would have ... Read Moremore to eat, scarred habitats would heal, fish populations would rise. 70% of the grain grown in the U.S. & 40% of it grown worldwide is for animals destined for slaughter, while hundreds of millions starve. A meat and dairy-centered diet requires about 17 times as much land, 14 times as much water, and more than ten times as much energy as a completely plant-based diet. Tell me again how becoming vegan will have no effect whatsoever??
