Wild Card Quilt - Taking A Chance on Home -
Hardback, New
By Janisse Ray. Minneapolis: Milkweed Editions Brand new hardcover
signed by the author.
Janisse Ray, known for her passion for the virgin
longleaf pine forests that once covered the South (as described in her
book Ecology of a Cracker Childhood), is also passionate about
conserving the richness and complexity of rural communities. In Wild
Card Quilt, she assembles short, often hilarious or heartbreaking pieces
about her return to her hometown. Whether celebrating local characters
and traditions, fighting to save the local school, or spending time with
her extended family, Ray dares to hope that such fragments—once
saved—can pattern a vibrant, sustainable future for both people and the
land.
This book chronicles the author's return to her grandmother's Appling
County, Georgia farm with her young son, and outlines stories of the of
the community, the longleaf pine ecosystem, and the changes she found
when she returned. She describes her life in rural Georgia in such a way
that it brings the reader right into her environment. She recounts her
quilting sessions with her mother with lyricism and humor, and in doing
so, recounts the old ways of quilt making as she weaves it into the
fabric of the way it was and now is in rural Georgia. It's a must read
for people who care about the old ways, old values, and what matters in
rural America today.
This is a brand new hardcover edition, personally signed by the Author,
Janisse Ray. This makes the perfect gift for special occasions.

Dining On The Wilds
with Miriam Darnall-Kramer & John Goude
The quality of primitive skills and edible plants videos varies widely.
Some videos have really good information, but they would almost kill you
with boredom. Other videos are fun to watch, but not terribly
informative. The challenge is to make a video that both educational and
captivating to watch. The Dining On The Wilds videos have mostly
good informative content, but not a very exciting presentation of it.
Personally, I would prefer to read it from a book. However, if you are a
person who learns better from the video format, then these tapes are for
you.
The Dining On The Wilds videos includes six tapes covering more than 300
species of plants. Although there is a definite slant towards southern
California plants, Kramer and Goude do a nice job of representing the
most important edible plants all across North America. Also included is
the 167 page Dining On The Wilds Reference Manual by Miriam
Kramer. One of the greatest assets to these videos is the demonstrations
of skills like threshing grain, acorn processing, primitive cooking,
harvesting prickly pear cactus, and harvesting cattails. I recommend
using these videos with
Botany in a Day.
Look up the names from the video in the index of Botany in a Day
to learn the essential family information.
"Wildman Steve Brill" with Japanese Knotweed
Wildman Steve Brill's site is the Number One
site to find out about WILD FOOD! He is this century's best known
Naturalist. I personally have a copy of his book, "Identifying and
Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in the Wild (and Not-So-Wild)
Places," and rate it a Number One in information. It is packed with
information for the novice to the serious forager.
If you purchase this book in a
bookstore or elsewhere online, the book seller gets most of the money.
