The Friday 56 (137) & Book Beginnings: Farming and the Food Supply by Debra A. Miller

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice where every Friday you pick a book and turn to page 56 or 56%, and select a sentence or a few, as long as it's not a spoiler. For the full rules, visit the the page HERE

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.

10522623
Synopsis from Goodreads...

Outlines how global warming is effecting agriculture and the steps that are being taken to remedy those effects...

Beginning: "Earth's climate is a complex system of interacting natural components."

56: "The negative impacts of climate change on agriculture will be felt differently in different parts of the world."


Comments: I'm currently reading Farming and the Food Supply by Debra A. Miller. It's one of the books I recently checked out from the library, and so far it's an interesting read. The beginning is from the foreword and the 56 is from page 53. What are you reading this week?

    Interesting choice. Are you a) a farmer b) a librarian c) a teacher? I often found myself reading books like this in my role as librarian. My Friday Quotes

      Actually, none of the above. I just like to read nonfiction, particularly books that are more science or history related. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend! :-)

    Cool! I'm reading something slightly similar–The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan.

    I don't read much nonfiction but this sounds interesting and is quite a timely topic. This week I'm spotlighting The Plot is Murder by V. M. Burns - a mystery within a mystery from my TBR mountain. Happy reading!

    My son would love this, he's studying Geography at Uni and is aiming to go the environment route! Although, this is a subject we should ALL be reading!

    Here's my Friday post! Enjoy your weekend x

    Normally I'd be like nope, but with our planet the way it is currently, I would be all over this assuming it's a fascinating read! Happy Labor Day weekend!

    Not my usual type of read, but growing up on a farm this could be fascinating.
