Adolescents have certain needs that should be fulfilled by what they read. Ideally, they need to have access to books in which they are able to find themselves in what they read, and they need to be able to access books consisting of current, accurate, well-chosen material dealing with issues important to them and that can be applied to their lives. The YA Hotline (Dalhousie University) was started for those who aspire to guide teens in this respect, whether in the school or public library or in the classroom. The subject matter of the YA Hotline centers on reading interests and information services for young adults. The Hotline has been published for over two decades and is distributed via subscription to a world-wide audience. The Best of the YA Hotline offers a generous cross-section of the periodical's most relevant subjects over the past 20 years. Each article features a topic or issue of timeless importance, followed by reviews of helpful or recommended titles. The exploration of issues like environmental consciousness, youth and athletics, witchcraft, and multiculturalism goes hand-in-hand with literary genres like horror, science fiction, graphic novels and biography. This collection is diverse, accessible, and will provide valuable insight into some of the different ways that writers have attempted to identify with and address their target audience. Librarians and teachers who work with teens need to learn about adolescents: their ambitions, fears, and needs, in order to construct services appropriate for them. The Best of the YA Hotline is a great way to begin to understand the issues and literature that can be applied to the lives of today's youth.

Marcie Cohen Ferris gathers a constellation of leading journalists, farmers, chefs, entrepreneurs, scholars, and food activists—along with photographer Baxter Miller— to offer a deeply immersive portrait of North Carolina's contemporary food landscape. Ranging from manifesto to elegy, Edible North Carolina's essays, photographs, interviews, and recipes combine for a beautifully revealing journey across the lands and waters of a state that exemplifies the complexities of American food and identity. While North Carolina's food heritage is grounded in core ingredients and the proximity of farm to table, this book reveals striking differences among food-centered cultures and businesses across the state. Documenting disparities among people's access to food and farmland—and highlighting community and state efforts toward fundamental solutions—Edible North Carolina shows how culinary excellence, entrepreneurship, and the struggle for racial justice converge in shaping food equity, not only for North Carolinians, but for all Americans.Starting with Vivian Howard, star of PBS's A Chef's Life, who wrote the foreword, the contributors include Shorlette Ammons, Karen Amspacher, Victoria Bouloubasis, Katy Clune, Gabe Cumming, Marcie Cohen Ferris, Sandra Gutierrez, Tom Hanchett, Michelle King, Cheetie Kumar, Courtney Lewis, Malinda Maynor Lowery, Ronni Lundy, Keia Mastrianni, April McGreger, Baxter Miller, Ricky Moore, Carla Norwood, Kathleen Purvis, Andrea Reusing, Bill Smith, Maia Surdam, and Andrea Weigl.
