Andrea Wulf

The best non-fiction book of the year and my reading suggestion for the holidays, especially for those who are interested in a wider historical perspective on how we think & why we are romantics at heart (&the risks of that): Andrea Wulf’s Magnificent Rebels. @andrea_wulf https://t.co/x28kaeOVHa

Lick It: Challenge the Way You Experience Food

Vogelzang Marije

What a creative thought-provoking book on food & how we experience it! Food needs humans to become food (my take) &marveling with all our senses about food creates the basis for change. Read Marije Vogelzang’s lavishly illustrated Lick it to teach yourself about nearly everything https://t.co/w1JGUKlkHj

My Wild Garden: Notes from a Writer's Eden

Meir Shalev
Louise O. FrescoLouise O. Fresco

Remembering the humane & humorous voice of Israeli novelist #MeirShalev, here in 2019 at the occasion of both our honorary doctorates @hebrewu in Jerusalem. Do read his many books, esp My Wild Garden, Notes from a Writer’s Eden, where the garden becomes a metaphor of society https://t.co/cdsyKGQ2gm
