To be released September 15th by Grove/Atlantic and Food First, it marks a 40 year collaboration! Two years ago Joe and I made the big decision to completely re-imagine our earlier World Hunger: 12 Myths, used over the decades in classrooms in many countries. I can't thank enough all of you who have been involved directly and indirectly with this effort through your research, reviews, insight, and encouragement. I've been honored over the years to learn how many of you have used World Hunger: 12 Myths and other books of mine in your classrooms and organizations, and to that end, this book was written with scholars, students, and learners of all stripes in mind. I wanted to reach out now, when many of you in the academic world are thinking about your upcoming courses, to humbly submit this new book we're so proud of for your consideration. It is my sincere hope that will be an effective resource for you and your students. We believe World Hunger: 10 Myths is an accessible, solutions-based book that enables readers to grasp the multiple and interwoven roots of hunger as well as the real-too often invisible--pathways being created to end it. * You can pre-order copies of World Hunger: 10 Myths here<http://smallplanet.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8eec5cd5151a8346637209ddf&id=4220abae8f&e=7aa68104db>, and request review copies here<http://smallplanet.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8eec5cd5151a8346637209ddf&id=af7aac4215&e=7aa68104db>! * On our website<http://smallplanet.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8eec5cd5151a8346637209ddf&id=6f1e62b71a&e=7aa68104db>, see our other books and additional resources tailored specifically for educators here<http://smallplanet.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8eec5cd5151a8346637209ddf&id=32ba1db2be&e=7aa68104db>. * To stay up-to-date on our projects, please sign up for the quarterly Small Planet Institute newsletter<http://smallplanet.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=8eec5cd5151a8346637209ddf&id=c875465471&e=7aa68104db>. * Finally, and very exciting for me personally, is that completing this book means I can start accepting new opportunities for speaking engagements and workshops, which I find so rewarding.
