Books shape the way we think about food, health, and culture. These are the works we return to again and again in our research and teaching, because they open windows into the history of nutrition, natural health, and the connections between food, medicine, and society. We share them here so that anyone who wants to go deeper can explore the sources that continue to inspire and challenge us.
