There was a story on NPR this a.m. about a woman who just published a book
called A Year without Made in China -- even using the story online in class
might be interesting!

There is not (yet) a great deal of "solid" scholarly analysis of biofuels
as
a global issue.
You can glean an overview of what there is to choose from, however, by
visiting the publications page of the bioenergy wiki.

Subject: green and gene revolution and biofuels
Hello all,
I'm teaching my food course again, and I am looking for something
historical, precise and comprehensive on the Green Revolution (especially
backing up claims that corporations needed to use surplus WWII bomb
chemicals for profit aka fertilizers, etc) and the Gene Revolution. Beyond
Vandana Shiva.....
This is an undergrad, non-majors course.
Also, I'm looking for good solid biofuel (soy, corn, african palm oil,
linseed, etc....) material. I have a great deal of NGO (IATP) material from
the U.S. Social Forum, but I need solid scholarly analysis for my MA
course.
Any gems appreciated.
Best,
Leslie Wirpsa
