by Carla Emery (1977)
No home, whether in the country, the city, or somewhere in between, should be without this one-of-a-kind encyclopedia — the most complete source of information available about growing, processing, cooking, and preserving homegrown foods from the garden, orchard, field, or barnyard. For more than 30 years, people have relied on its practical, step-by-step advice on basic self-sufficiency skills such as how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, build a chicken coop, cook on a wood stove, and much, much more. First written at the height of the 1960s back-to-the-land movement, the book has been continually revised, updated, and expanded, and has grown from a self-published, mimeographed document to an exhaustive reference of more than one million words, 2,000+ recipes, and over 1,500 mail order sources. Emery’s personal advice, reflections, and anecdotes ensure that this incredibly detailed, diverse reference is as enjoyable as it is useful.

Married at 25 to a charming dreamer whose irresponsible behavior quickly depleted their meager earnings, Mrs. Childs compiled this book (based, very likely, on personal experience) for women of less than moderate means.

"IBD isn't a disease but rather the umbrella term for two major intestinal disorders that might sound more familiar: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Both deal with inflammation in the digestive tract that can produce a wide range of unpleasant symptoms and lead to other health conditions. If you or a loved one are dealing with either of these conditions then you probably know that trying to control flare-ups--which bring on the symptoms--is the goal. Tessmer breaks down both of these conditions and provides reliable and practical advice on how eating right can help. <b>Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Inflammatory Bowel Disease</b> begins with an overview of both of these conditions (as well as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS), then guides you through diet recommendations that are based on the latest medical information. You will quickly learn what IBD is and what you can do to limit the impact of unwanted symptoms. In addition, you'll get dozens of mouthwatering recipes from knowledgeable RDs that will make implementing the nutritional advice a bit easier. It's all nutrition you can live with!"-- "This book begins with an overview of both of these conditions (as well as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS), then guides you through diet recommendations that are based on the latest medical information.
