Story
Earth is embroiled in its sixth major extinction event—this time caused not by asteroids or volcanos, but by us. At bottom, preventing this sixth extinction is a spiritual and philosophical problem, for it is the assumptions defining us and our relation to earth that are driving the devastation. Those assumptions insist on a fundamental separation of human and earth that devalues earth and enables our exploitative relation to it.

Real superheroes want to do the most good for the most people as possible. In this way, accessible and nutrient-dense food is perhaps the superhero that we most need—particularly when it is easy to prepare and becomes a presence in our everyday lives. Prepare to meet leafy greens, mushrooms, legumes, berries, alliums, spices, sweet potatoes, nuts, seeds, coffee, and tea in a whole new way. Brimming with antioxidants, flavonoids, and other beneficial micronutrients, these superfoods are here for you from dawn to dusk.

Loved this book
I learned so much reading this book. Anyone who loves nature should read this book for a deeper understanding of how nature works. The plants mentioned are for North America but this does not detract from the book's message or it's enjoyment.
