Hardback. Zustand: Good. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, and with a new afterword by the author, a new edition of Pulitzer Prize finalist Eric Schlosser's New York Times bestselling exposé on how America's fast food industry has shaped the landscape of America and the world. Twenty-five years ago, Fast Food Nation blew the lid off the fast food industry--exposing how they've mauled our landscapes, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. Now with a new afterword Eric Schlosser rings the alarm again, calling attention to the damage wrought by corporate control of America's food system and stressing just how the forces he first identified are even more powerful today. Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches from California's subdivisions, where the business was born, to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike, where many of fast food's flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths--from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate.  On its publication, Fast Food Nation changed the way America thinks about the way it eats, and it remains required reading for those concerned about the dramatic impact fast food has on our economy and our health.&nbsp. …

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. America's black market is much larger than we realize, and it affects us all deeply, whether or not we smoke pot, rent a risqu video, or pay our kids' nannies in cash. In Reefer Madness the best-selling author of Fast Food Nation turns his exacting eye on the underbelly of the American marketplace and its far-reaching influence on our society. Exposing three American mainstays -- pot, porn, and illegal immigrants -- Eric Schlosser shows how the black market has burgeoned over the past several decades. He also draws compelling parallels between underground and overground: how tycoons and gangsters rise and fall, how new techonology shapes a market, how government intervention can reinvigorate black markets as well as mainstream ones, and how big business learns -- and profits -- from the underground. Reefer Madness is a powerful investigation that illuminates the shadow economy and the culture that casts that shadow.…
