Kathlyn had several careers but her one true constant was writing. She began professionally writing in 1957 and went on to have 120 published books. Her writing covered controversial and poignant subjects from politics, race, religion, equality, justice, human behavior, and global-environmental topics. She enjoyed traveling nationally and internationally by cars, trains, planes, and ships. She wrote extensively about the excursions she took with her husband, while her photo collections of each trip were organized perfectly.

Food has an engaging layout with numerous full-color photos, quotes and diagrams. Smaller, related topics are visually highlighted throughout the book, such as recycling, biofuels, and future food sources. A glossary, source notes, bibliography and additional resources are provided at the book’s end. Older students requiring more comprehensive citations may find the source notes lacking, particularly for the diagram statistics. Overall, though, this is an excellent introduction to the social, political, and economic impact of what we put on our plate. A well-balanced and broad account, Food: the New Gold gives student researchers (forgive the pun) a lot to chew on.
