Brooke Kelly and Julia Waity, takes on the paradoxes of bountiful food supplies alongside hunger, and of obesity coexisting w/ food insecurity. Food insecurity rates that rose w/ the Great Recession had yet to fall to pre-recession levels, food pantries were stretched thin, and new state restrictions on programs like SNAP kept people from crucial government assistance. Chapters in three parts, Concepts, Problems and Solutions, cover food sovereignty lessons from the Global South, redefining poverty in America, food spending by race and ethnicity, food deserts in Rust Belt cities and Atlanta, emergency food assistance, food insecure seniors and youth, public-private partnerships against hunger, and food pantries on college campuses. Chapter references, a contributors list and an index round out the volume, illustrated w/ b&w charts and figures. Leslie H. Hossfeld founded the Mississippi Food Insecurity Project at Mississippi State University and in 2018 became Dean of the College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences at Clemson University. E. Brooke Kelly is Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and Julia F. Waity is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. A useful volume for students, instructors and practitioners in public health, public policy, food studies and sociology.…

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
