EATING TO LEARN, LEARNING TO EATThe Origins of School Lunch in the United StatesAndrew R. RuisIn Eating to Learn, Learning to Eat, historian A. R. Ruis explores the origins of American school meal initiatives to explain why it was (and, to some extent, has continued to be) so difficult to establish meal programs that satisfy the often competing interests of children, parents, schools, health authorities, politicians, and the food industry. Through careful studies of several key contexts and detailed analysis of the policies and politics that governed the creation of school meal programs, Ruis demonstrates how the early history of school meal program development helps us understand contemporary debates over changes to school lunch policies.220 pp, 2 photos, 1 map, 2 tables • 978-0-8135-8407-2 Paperback • $29.95S Sale Price $20.96

LADY LUSHESGender, Alcoholism, and Medicine in Modern AmericaMichelle L. McClellanIn Lady Lushes, medical historian Michelle L. McClellan traces the story of the female alcoholic from the late-nineteenth through the twentieth century.
