{"product_id":"the-life-of-cheese-41-heather-paxson-9780520270183","title":"The Life of Cheese: Crafting Food and Value in America Volume 41","description":"Cheese is alive, and alive with meaning. Heather Paxson's beautifully written anthropological study of American artisanal cheesemaking tells the story of how craftwork has become a new source of cultural and economic value for producers as well as consumers. Dairy farmers and artisans inhabit a world in which their colleagues and collaborators are a wild cast of characters, including plants, animals, microorganisms, family members, employees, and customers. As \"unfinished\" commodities, living products whose qualities are not fully settled, handmade cheeses embody a mix of new and old ideas about taste and value. By exploring the life of cheese, Paxson helps rethink the politics of food, land, and labor today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Paxson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520270185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520270183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.98w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013","brand":"Heather Paxson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994112852223,"sku":"9780520270183","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65aea06b-e4c9-400e-bde3-6ab9b92ca2d7.jpg?v=1683328201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-cheese-41-heather-paxson-9780520270183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
