This book is truly extraordinary for the deeper meaning it offers, especially the power of perception. As in a favorite verse of Bob Dylan, "how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?" This book relates to so much, such as our carbon footprint and, in the example of a hamburger, all the steps, all the people, from farmers of the lettuce, to the herders of the cattle, the energy used to transport it all. CONGRATULATIONS! Saw it at my grandson's. Had to order
