Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Who’s Gonna Water My Tomatoes?”: School Gardens, Kitchens, and the Search for Educational Authenticity updates an old concept for our modern age, utilizing school gardens and culinary kitchens where students grow, prepare, and eat their own food. Over a century ago, the educational philosopher John Dewey proposed reforming education around the needs of the whole child, emphasizing academic learning and the child's social needs for effective participation in a democratic society. In Dewey’s view, children would best learn by engaging in authentic experiences that would introduce, complement, and complete their regular classroom experiences. Dewey talked about school gardens and kitchens as two specific laboratories where children could apply what they were learning in school in daily life. Today, the tensions between experiential learning and the more rote learning often found in regular classrooms remain. Educators increasingly find themselves accountable to the narrow performance pressures imposed by standardized testing, pressures that often squeeze out the joys and possibilities for more authentic and engaging learning found in real-world experiences. This book explores Dewey’s philosophy with particular attention given to experiential learning’s relationship to gardens and kitchens. The school garden and kitchen movement itself has ebbed and flowed over the last hundred years in response to changing societal and educational pressures. This history leads to the present day, where the edible schoolyard movement is experiencing a new spring as educators, parents, and school communities find value in edible schoolyard’s possibilities for providing more wholistic education that better meets the academic, social, and emotional needs of students. The book focuses on a network of edible schoolyards by introducing educators, teachers, principals, and staff who are making edible schoolyards happen today. Their vision and motivations form in their favorite lessons and in the connections between garden and kitchen experiences to the more traditional subject matter favored on state tests. Suggestions and resources for starting new edible schoolyards, including suggested recipes, are provided for those who want to get growing with their own edible schoolyards. Perfect for courses such as: Educational Reform; Educational History; Educational Philosophy; Educational Leadership; Curriculum Development and Transformation; Experiential Learning; Project Based Learning; and Educational Policy Environments

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author William Alexander takes readers on a surprisingly twisty journey through the history of the beloved tomato in this fascinating and erudite microhistory. The tomato gets no respect. Never has. Stored in the dustbin of history for centuries, accused of being vile and poisonous, appropriated as wartime propaganda, subjected to being picked hard-green and gassed, even used as a projectile, the poor tomato is the Rodney Dangerfield of foods. Yet, the tomato is the most popular vegetable in America (and, in fact, the world). It holds a place in America's soul like no other vegetable, and few other foods. Each summer, tomato festivals crop up across the country; John Denver had a hit single titled "homegrown Tomatoes;" and the Heinz tomato ketchup bottle, instantly recognizable, is in the Smithsonian. Author William Alexander is on a mission to get tomatoes the respect they deserve. Supported by meticulous research but told in a lively, accessible voice, Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World will seamlessly weave travel, history, humor, and a little adventure (and misadventure) to follow the tomato's trail through history. A fascinating story complete with heroes, con artists, conquistadors and, no surprise, the Mafia, this book is a mouth-watering, informative, and entertaining guide to the good that has captured our hearts for generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.' Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) When you suddenly find yourself on the road of suffering, could it really be God's will? When you've done everything right, don't you deserve a break, not a divine hardball? Sarah Whitecotton was diagnosed with renal cell cancer in 2010. Four weeks later, she was also diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Sarah; her husband, Kent; and their three sons were in for the most intense journey of their lives. To keep up with friends and family during this time, Kent wrote a blog about their experiences: Sarah's treatments, the encouragement from church members, and their newfound compassion for others who were suffering. Weak in Body, Strong of Heart is not only a compilation of Kent's blog posts, it is a comprehensive look at why God calls on his faithful to suffer. From the story of Job to the thorn in Paul's side, Kent Whitecotton inspects the different men and women in the Bible who endured hardships for the cause of Christ. What the Whitecottons have found is the truth in Romans 5:3-4: that suffering produces hope and other blessings. Even though Sarah's journey was difficult, Sarah and Kent praise God every day for his enduring promises. This touching memoir will give you the confidence to endure your own sufferings and turn to God for healing. 'Kent and Sarah have journaled their life's journey in this book. The revelations they discovered revealed who they really were. A must-read book for the Body of Christ.' -Reverend Ken Kashner, Retired Pastor of New Life Christian Assembly
