Gomorra

This book is tale of horror that it will be unbelivable if not support by a large documentaion, i personally read the original version and most of the pages thake your soul away in the darkness.

Review by Emma Jamieson
Robertoo Saviano is a 28 year old man, who grew up in Secondigliano, a rundown of 10,000 inhabitants on the fringe of Naples, of which 2468 residents are incarcerated for mafia and camorra related activities and the rest have simply been abandoned to their fate. It is also the trading centre through which about 80% of Europe's cocaine is filtered through, packaged, distributed, marketed, cut, and sold on.

Stuffed and Starved

Stuffed and Starved is the amazing (AMAZING to be more specific) book written by Raj Patel about Global food Industries, fodd producion and consumption. For me was the starting poing of new area of  understanding.

Raj Patel website is: www.stuffedandstarved.org

Some reviews:

"One of the most dazzling books I've read in a very long time. The product of a brilliant mind and a gift to a world hungering for justice."
Naomi Klein, author of No Logo and the Shock Doctrine calls Stuffed and Starved

"In plain but passionate word, Raj Patel proves that 'free' trade - free of any ethical limits, that is - is the last solution we should look to in the struggle to feed the world. He then reveals better 'ways of being free, ' showing why 'strong local food systems first!' is a rallying cry as much for Zambia as for Canada, as much for India as for the United States. Can we eat healthier, tastier food and give the world's poorest the power to feed themselves? We can, and Patel will help us write the recipe".
J. B. MacKinnon, co-author of The Hundred Mile Diet says
