The Chuckanut Radio Hour is Village Books' monthly radio variety show which is recorded live and features live music, the poetry corner, author interviews, and an episode of "The Bellingham Bean." Guest authors have included Sherman Alexie, Garrison Keillor, JA Jance, and Rick Bass.
Our Earth Day show highlights David Boyd, co-author of David Suzuki’s Green Guide, and his new book Dodging the Toxic Bullet. Following David Suzuki’s Green Guide—called “the green bible” by the Canada’s Globe and Mail—Dodging the Toxic Bullet presents workable strategies that show how we can live longer, healthier lives by breathing clean air, eating healthy food, drinking safe water, and using non-toxic products. Boyd provides accessible background on a range of hazards including mercury in fish, carcinogens in cleaning products, lead in toys, and lethal "E. coli" in ground beef. His clear directions for reducing risk include growing lots of houseplants, choosing whole foods, avoiding consumer products with strong or long-lasting smells, and using green cleaning products. Easy-to-follow advice and informative sidebars and checklists make this a must-have guide, especially for parents of infants and children.
“In Dodging the Toxic Bullet, David R. Boyd cuts through the confusion and gives us the practical information we need to protect ourselves and our families from harm. I will recommend this book to patients, colleagues, and friends. “
