    ‘...The year is 2085 and Yasmin’s teacher has taken the small class to the local museum .Their assignment is to discover how their ravaged world has come to be. As they enter the darkened central chamber, a single ray illuminates the object displayed on a blackened pedestal, a thing so forbidding that its vague form – let alone the messages it contains- sends a chill of horror through the awed children. As they draw closer they begin to feel its power. Closer and they can at last make out what is, this fount of all the ruin, the suffering, the hunger, the loss. It is a cookbook.

The victors had the privilege of framing history the way they liked. In the food wars to come, however, there will be no victors - only victims, and they will see the matter differently.

    Extract from the book : The Coming Famine by Julian Cribb (publisher University of California press).
