Edible City movie trailer and Matthew Crawford's Soul Craft

Newest link from Emmanuel: Edible City movie trailer. The documentary tracks urban gardeners, some right here in the Bay Area, doing cool urban farming and explains why it's important. EB Alums are involved in the project: Bret Turner, Andrew Hasse and other people. Would be great paired with the new documentary Food Inc.

Also, to check out latest New Yorker book review "Book Fast Bikes, Slow Food and Workplace Wars" of Matthew Crawford's Shop class as Soul Craft. The review explicates some of the current intellectual discussions in the US around work/the importance of craft (doing something w/your hands)/ and localism (in the Michael Pollan model.)
