""At its heart, Food from the Radical Center is neither about the numbers nor the studies that report them; instead, it is an up close and personal look at the local people who have defined what 'collaborative conservation looks like on the ground.' Written in the first person and often directly addressing the reader, it is also something of a life review of the work to which Nabhan has been passionately dedicated for the past 50 years.""
