A Guide to Mindful Eating
by Jane Goodall, Gail Hudson, Gary McAvoy
The renowned scientist who fundamentally changed the way we view primates and our relationship with the animal kingdom now turns her attention to an incredibly important and deeply personal issue - taking a stand for a more sustainable world. In this provocative and encouraging book, Jane Goodall sounds a clarion call to Western society, urging us to take a hard look at the food we produce and consume - and showing us how easy it is to create positive change...... Brilliant, empowering, and irrepressibly optimistic, Harvest for Hope is one of the most crucial works of our age. If we follow Goodall's sound advice, we just might save ourselves before it's too late.

reach.' - PW.
'Harvest For Hope is one of those rare, truly great books that can change the world.' - 'John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution and Diet For A New America.

And so three years later Jane travelled from England to what is now Tanzania and, equipped with only a notebook, binoculars and determination to succeed, ventured into the then unknown world of wild chimpanzees. Jane Goodall's research at Gombe national park has given us an in-depth understanding of chimpanzee behavior.
