A culinary and cultural history of plant-based eating in the United States that delves into the subcultures and politics that have defined alternative food. The vegan diet used to be associated only with eccentric hippies and tofu-loving activists who shop at co-ops and live on compounds. We’ve come a long way since then. Now, fine-dining restaurants like Eleven Madison Park cater to chic upscale clientele with a plant-based menu, and Impossible Whoppers are available at Burger King. But can plant-based food keep its historical anti-capitalist energies if it goes mainstream? And does it need to? In No Meat Required, author Alicia Kennedy chronicles the fascinating history of plant-based eating in the United States, from the early experiments in tempeh production undertaken by the Farm commune in the 70s to the vegan punk cafes and anarchist zines of the 90s to the chefs and food writers seeking to decolonize vegetarian food today. Many people become vegans because they are concerned about the role capitalist food systems play in climate change, inequality, white supremacy, and environmental and cultural degradation. But a world where Walmart sells frozen vegan pizzas and non-dairy pints of ice cream are available at gas stations – raises distinct questions about the meanings and goals of plant-based eating. Kennedy—a vegetarian, former vegan, and once-proprietor of a vegan bakery—understands how to present this history with sympathy, knowledge, and humor. No Meat Required brings much-needed depth and context to our understanding of vegan and vegetarian cuisine, and makes a passionate argument for retaining its radical heart.

Extraordinary projects from one of the world's best architecture firms The work of James Cutler, FAIA, and Bruce Anderson, AIA, of Cutler Anderson Architects is internationally renowned for its environmental awareness and meticulous attention to detail. Each project begins with an investigation of place and materials and culminates in a finely crafted building that fits seamlessly into the landscape. This is an entirely modern architecture, which, through multilayered transitions between inside and out and an ecologically conscious choice of materials, orchestrates a heightened connection between people and nature. The Best of Cutler Anderson Architects presents the firm's outstanding designs from two previous Rockport volumes, James Cutler (from the Contemporary World Architects series) and Cutler Anderson Architects, as well as new and equally compelling projects from around the world that expand the firm's vocabulary. Also included in this book are examples of Cutler Anderson Architects' progression into the design of furniture and hardware, which complement and complete their superior design work. Cutler Anderson Architects has received six National Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects and over forty other national and regional awards. The firm's work has been published in books and magazines around the globe.
