Shop our store Description Shipping FAQ The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals Repackaged for its tenth anniversary, The Omnivore’s Dilemma continues to revolutionize the way Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating Bestselling author Michael Pollan explores the ecology of eating to unveil why we consume what we consume in the 21st century. Eating is one of the most important ways people both shape the environment and define themselves. It is a crucial frontier where the human and natural intersect and transform one another. It is through eating—the most fundamental of all our desires—that we experience our most potent and intimate involvement with nature. The Omnivore’s Dilemma is Michael Pollan’s study of the human act of eating from an ecological, rather than purely anthropological, perspective. Species are largely defined by what they eat and what eats them. Yet our own eating is hardly ever viewed through the same ecological lens; that is, with an eye to the co-evolution of humans and the species they eat, and the food chains that connect them. The Omnivore’s Dilemma is divided into three parts, one for each of the food chains that we are a part of: industrialized food, alternative food, and individual hunting/gathering. In each section Michael Pollan discusses the history of the food in that chain and our developing relationship to it. Items purchased by 9:00am each business day will ship that day from Ohio.

The books we sell are known as bargain books. They are books that either are overstocks from the publishers or ones that went out to a Christian bookstore or major department store and were returned to the publisher when they did not sell. They are not used, though sometimes have cover wear. The publishers sell these at a great discount in bulk. We buy these and sort through them to grade their condition. You will note that many of the books are in new condition, but others have other conditions noted. We try to describe them as accurately as possible. What is a remainder book? A remainder book is a brand new book that the publisher would like to get rid of because of overstock, discontinuing the book, etc. The publisher will sell these books in bulk to bargain book dealers at a low cost, allowing us to sell to you. Some publishers will put a line or dot on the on the bottom outside page edges to indicate that it is a remainder book. This keeps the "new" book prices higher and does not allow retailers to return them to the publisher. Other publishers do not mark them in any way. Some of the books we sell have a remainder mark, but many do not. Please complete the eBay checkout process within 5 days.
