Book excerpt: In the tradition of Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore's Dilemma, an extraordinary investigation into the human lives at the heart of the American grocery store What does it take to run the American supermarket? How do products get to shelves? Who sets the price? And who suffers the consequences of increased convenience end efficiency? In this alarming exposé, author Benjamin Lorr pulls back the curtain on this highly secretive industry. Combining deep sourcing, immersive reporting, and compulsively readable prose, Lorr leads a wild investigation in which we learn: • The secrets of Trader Joe’s success from Trader Joe himself • Why truckers call their job “sharecropping on wheels” • What it takes for a product to earn certification labels like “organic” and “fair trade” • The struggles entrepreneurs face as they fight for shelf space, including essential tips, tricks, and traps for any new food business • The truth behind the alarming slave trade in the shrimp industry The result is a page-turning portrait of an industry in flux, filled with the passion, ingenuity, and exploitation required to make this everyday miracle continue to function. The product of five years of research and hundreds of interviews across every level of the industry, The Secret Life of Groceries delivers powerful social commentary on the inherently American quest for more and the social costs therein.
Download or read book Grocery written by Michael Ruhlman and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author “digs deep into the world of how we shop and how we eat. It’s a marvelous, smart, revealing work” (Susan Orlean, #1 bestselling author). In a culture obsessed with food—how it looks, what it tastes like, where it comes from, what is good for us—there are often more questions than answers. Ruhlman proposes that the best practices for consuming wisely could be hiding in plain sight—in the aisles of your local supermarket. Using the human story of the family-run Midwestern chain Heinen’s as an anchor to this journalistic narrative, he dives into the mysterious world of supermarkets and the ways in which we produce, consume, and distribute food. Grocery examines how rapidly supermarkets—and our food and culture—have changed since the days of your friendly neighborhood grocer. But rather than waxing nostalgic for the age of mom-and-pop shops, Ruhlman seeks to understand how our food needs have shifted since the mid-twentieth century, and how these needs mirror our cultural ones. A mix of reportage and rant, personal history and social commentary, Grocery is a landmark book from one of our most insightful food writers. “Anyone who has ever walked into a grocery store or who has ever cooked food from a grocery store or who has ever eaten food from a grocery store must read Grocery. It is food journalism at its best and I’m so freakin’ jealous I didn’t write it.” —Alton Brown, television personality “If you care about why we eat what we eat—and you want to do something about it—you need to read this absorbing, beautifully written book.” —Ruth Reichl, New York Times–bestselling author
Download or read book Shelf Life written by Kim Humphery and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-27 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supermarkets, in all their everyday mundanity, embody something of the enormous complexity of living and consuming in late twentieth century western societies. Shelf Life, first published in 1998, explores the supermarket as a retail space and as an arena of everyday consumption in Australia. It historically situates and critically discusses the everyday food products we buy, the retail environments in which we do so, the attitudes of the retailers who construct such environments, and the diverse ways in which all of us undertake and think about supermarket shopping. Yet this book is more than narrative history. It engages with broader issues of the nature of Australian modernity, the globalisation of retail forms, the connection between consumption and self-autonomy, and the highly gendered nature of retailing and shopping. It interrogates also the work of cultural critics, and questions recent attempts to grasp what it means to consume and to be a 'consumer'.

Download or read book Supermarket written by Satoshi Azuchi and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern classic of literature in Japan, Supermarket is a novel of the human drama surrounding the management of a supermarket chain at a time when the phenomenon of the supermarket, imported postwar from the US, was just taking hold in Japan. When Kojima, an elite banker resigns his job to help a cousin manage Ishiei, a supermarket in one of Japan's provincial cities, a host of problems ensue. Store employees are stealing products, the books are in disaray, and the workers seem stuck in old ways of thinking. As Kojima begins to give all his time over to the relentless task of reforming the store's management, a chance encounter with a woman from his childhood causes him to ask the age-old question: is the all encompassing pursuit of business success really worth it? Sincere and naive in tone, Supermarket takes us back to a simpler, kinder time, and skillfully presents the depictions of its characters alongside a wealth of information concerning Japanese post WWII recovery and industrialization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique HVAC requirements of supermarkets present a compelling blend of engineering challenges and opportunities. Supermarkets are dynamic environments, with various zones that demand precise temperature, humidity, and ventilation control to ensure the comfort of shoppers, preserve perishable products, and meet stringent regulatory standards. Yet, behind the scenes, these systems must be energy-efficient, sustainable, and seamlessly integrated with refrigeration and automation technologies to control costs and minimize environmental impact. This book, HVAC for Supermarkets: Design, Efficiency, and Operations, is designed for HVAC professionals, supermarket facility managers, and engineers who seek to deepen their understanding of supermarket-specific HVAC design and management. It is also invaluable for anyone involved in building sustainable and efficient retail spaces. In recent years, the growing emphasis on energy efficiency, sustainable practices, and indoor air quality has spurred innovations in HVAC technology. Supermarkets, as complex and energy-intensive facilities, are at the forefront of this evolution. From the basic principles of HVAC design tailored to supermarkets, through integration with refrigeration systems, to the implementation of advanced controls and smart technologies, this book provides practical insights and guidelines for addressing both current challenges and future demands. Through a careful balance of theory, practical advice, and real-world case studies, readers will gain a clear roadmap to designing HVAC systems that not only meet the technical demands of supermarket environments but also contribute to broader sustainability goals.
