And this one is sure to make a splash.
Just bought it on Amazon, and I'll set aside my current read (Plato's Gorgias) to wade into this one. It's supposed to arrive on Friday, so I can start into it already this weekend. From the reviews I see it does tilt in a certain direction, and indeed I've spoken with Julie on several occasions (and have some of my work referenced there apparently), so there is some anticipation of what is to come.
Then again, it's good to know what is being written about my vocation and my friends.
Comments to follow later on when I finish.

Among other things (and believe me this author has done her homework!), the book implies that the industry is not going to do well going forward because the whole system has been based on fumigation which is not sustainable, I think (and really am here to think) otherwise.
What seems so obvious one day is not so obvious the next.
