For the past twenty years,
Michael Pollan
has written books and articles about the places where the
human and natural worlds intersect: food, agriculture,
gardens, drugs, and architecture. The Omnivore’s Dilemma,
where Pollan describes four ways that human societies have
obtained food, was named one of the five best nonfiction
books of 2006 by “The New York Times” and one of the ten
best books by “The Washington Post”.
A contributing writer to the “New York Times Magazine” since
1987, Pollan’s writing has received numerous awards,
including the James Beard Award for best magazine series in
2003 and the 2000 Reuters-I.U.C.N. Global Award for
Environmental Journalism for his reporting on genetically
modified crops. His articles have appeared in “Harper’s”,
“Mother Jones”, “Gourmet”, and “House and Garden”.
