Buffalo's coming!
It's a rare thing to be able to recommend a book for its message, wit, and literary style. I was once a judge for the second U.K. Green Book Fortnight, a big book promotion sponsored by a major London paper (being selected for the first of these national promotions sent my very first book into orbit--two reprintings before the publication date), and most of the submissions were either not on subject or were terribly written--or both. But I've just read a fabulous book, Buffalo for the Broken Heart, that you should run (or cycle) out to buy immediately. It's an engaging memoir of ranching in South Dakota, beautiful and poignant, and a manifesto for sustainable agriculture and real food.
The author, Dan O'Brien, ends the story with the launch of Wild Idea Buffalo, a company selling grass-fed free-range buffalo meat by mail order. Our first package arrives today, and we'll be eating it with our first peas.
