Emily's Book Reviews

The No Nonsense Guide To Fair Trade is a very informative and progressive book published by Oxfam about the differences between free trade and fair trade. It outlines the negative impacts that free trade has had on developing nations with three concrete examples of how they have been turned around. This book will get you to appreciate what the farmers in developing countires go through on a daily basis in examples from Mexico about coffee production, Peru for coffee production and cocca production from Ghana.Teh author has cited major events that have changed the course of the developing world and the hopes for the future in making our world a more just one for the people who are working hardest on the other side of our North American consumer driven society.

Fastfood Nation is a book jammed packed with useful and scary information about the food we have come to know and love as kids. Eric Schlosser invesatigates into the many different levels of the fastfood industry and unlocks alot of its secrets we never really have thought or questioned. It's great to have a book come out that questions one of the symbols synonomous with Western culture, the golden arches, and has tonnes of data to back up his claims. Read this book to help you see past the counter of Burger King into to the negative consequences it has on our society.
