Book Description
After Remy Alexander's older sister is murdered in a cold-blooded massacre, her family discovers the Okarian Sector is hiding the truth behind the attack. Remy and her parents flee the Sector to join the clandestine Resistance movement. Now, three years later, Remy and her friends are convinced they've found a clue that can help them unravel the mystery behind the murders and expose the secrets behind the Sector's use of genetically modified food. But back home in the Sector, Valerian Orlean, the boy Remy once thought she loved, is put in charge of hunting and destroying the Resistance. Even as Vale strives to live up to his parent's expectations, he is haunted by the memory of his friendship with Remy and is determined to find out why she disappeared. As Remy seeks justice for her sister and Vale seeks to protect the Sector and everything he believes in, the two are set on a collision course that could bring everyone together-or tear everything apart.

Book Description
Sometimes, to move forward, we must look back. Gardening activity during American involvement in World War I (1917-1919) is vital to understanding current work in agriculture and food systems. The origins of the American Victory Gardens of World War II lie in the Liberty Garden program during World War I. This book examines the National War Garden Commission, the United States School Garden Army, and the Woman's Land Army (which some women used to press for suffrage). The urgency of wartime mobilization enabled proponents to promote food production as a vital national security issue. The connection between the nation's food readiness and national security resonated within the U.S., struggling to unite urban and rural interests, grappling with the challenges presented by millions of immigrants, and considering the country's global role. The same message--that food production is vital to national security--can resonate today. These World War I programs resulted in a national gardening ethos that transformed the American food system.

Book Description
In an ambitious work of wide-ranging literary, visual, and historical allusion, Jill H.Casid examines how landscaping functioned in an imperial mode that defined and remade the "heartlands" of nations as well as the contact zones and colonial peripheries in the West and East Indies. Revealing the colonial landscape as far more than an agricultural system - as a means of regulating national, sexual, and gender identities - Casid also traces how the circulation of plants and hybridity influenced agriculture and landscaping on European soil and how colonial contacts materially shaped what we take as "European."
