Madam C.J. Walker : the making of an American icon / by Ball, Erica L.,1971-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 129-137) and index.Preface – Acknowledgments -- 1. Daughter -- 2. Migrant -- 3. Madam Walker -- 4. Businesswoman -- 5. Race Woman -- 6. Icon – Epilogue -- A Note on Sources – Index -- About the Author.Madam C. J. Walker—reputed to be America’s first self-made woman millionaire—has long been celebrated for her rags-to-riches story. Born to former slaves in the Louisiana Delta in the aftermath of the Civil War, married at fourteen, and widowed at twenty, Walker spent the first decades of her life as a laundress, laboring in conditions that paralleled the lives of countless poor and working-class African American women. By the time of her death in 1919, however, Walker had refashioned herself into one of the most famous African American figures in the nation: the owner and president of a hair-care empire and a philanthropist wealthy enough to own a country estate near the Rockefellers in the prestigious New York town of Irvington-on-Hudson. In this biography, Erica Ball places this remarkable and largely forgotten life story in the context of Walker’s times. Ball analyzes Walker’s remarkable acts of self-fashioning, and explores the ways that Walker (and the Walker brand) enabled a new generation of African Americans to bridge the gap between a nineteenth-century agrarian past and a twentieth-century future as urban-dwelling consumers. -- provided by publisher.

It’s befouling our air, land, waters, food, and bodies. The US tosses out enough foodstuff to feed the rest of the world. America is the largest buyer of fashion and cosmetics, the second dirtiest industry in the world. We lead the planet in transportation usage and waste, and we’re now polluting outer space. Throwaway Nation takes a look at the pileup of waste in the US, including the problem of plastic, the industry of overmedication, e-waste products, everyday garbage, fast fashion trash, space waste, and other forms of profligacy that serve to make our nation the biggest waster on the planet. Looking at the environmental impact of so much garbage, Dondero explores not just how we got here and where we’re headed, but ways in which we might be able to curb the tide.From what you do and don’t eat, what and how your products are packaged, the rampant production of clothes, the space and waste in which you work, live, what you breath, eat, drink, the tools you use to work and play, the energy overproduced and ill-used for a pleasant lifestyle, the waste you generate, and how humans are beginning to clutter the cosmos—all and more are profiled in the Throwaway Nation—and what we ought to do to prohibit and mitigate the flow of our garbage and to use it productively. --

Twinkie, deconstructed : my journey to discover how the ingredients found in processed foods are grown, mined (yes, mined), and manipulated into what America eats / by Ettlinger, Steve.;
Where does Polysorbate 60 Come From, Daddy? -- Wheat Flour -- Bleach -- Enrichment Blend: Ferrous Sulfate and "B" vitamins (niacin, thiamine mononitrate (B1), riboflavin (B2), folic acid) -- Sugar -- Corn Sweeteners -- Corn Syrup, Dextrose, Glucose, and High Fructose Corn Syrup -- Corn Thickeners (Cornstarch, Modified Cornstarch, Corn Dextrins, Corn Flour) Water -- Soy (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable and/or Animal Shortening, Soy Lecithin, and Soy Protein Isolate) -- Eggs -- Cellulose Gum -- Whey -- Leavenings -- Baking Soda -- Phosphates (Sodium acid pyrophosphate and monocalcium phosphate) -- Salt -- Mono and Diglycerides -- Polysorbate 60 -- Natural and Artificial Flavors -- Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate -- Sodium and Calcium Caseinate -- Calcium Sulfate -- Sorbic Acid -- Color (FD & C Yellow 5, Red 40) -- Consider the Twinkie.Like most Americans, Steve Ettlinger eats processed foods. And, like most consumers, he often reads the ingredients label-without a clue as to what most of it means. So when his young daughter asked, "Daddy, what's polysorbate 60?" he was at a loss-and determined to find out. From the phosphate mines in Idaho to the corn fields in Iowa, from gypsum mines in Oklahoma to the vanilla harvest in Madagascar, Twinkie, Deconstructed is a fascinating, thoroughly researched romp of a narrative that demystifies some of the most common processed food ingredients-where they come from, how they are made, how they are used-and why. Beginning at the source (hint: they're often more closely linked to rock and petroleum than any of the four food groups), we follow each Twinkie ingredient through the process of being crushed, baked, fermented, refined, and/or reacted into a totally unrecognizable goo or powder with a strange name-all for the sake of creating a simple snack cake. An insightful exploration into the food industry, if you've ever wondered what you're eating when you consume foods containing mono- and diglycerides or calcium sulfate (the latter, a food-grade equivalent) this book is for you.
