Does anyone know if the newer version(s) is significantly different than the old ones? I’m seeing used ones on Abebooks from the 1967 and 1972. But I hate to have outdated information for something like this.
No, that is not the same book. This book was first published in 2005. Be sure and check for the author name of Menzel. There is a totally different book by a Bergstrom which was published in 1972, but it’s NOT the book we are talking about.
I have What the World Eats, copyright 2008, and it doesn’t seem to match up with the Visits with Africa assignments. My book does say, “photographed by Peter Menzel”, but it doesn’t say Hungry Planet on the cover. We’ve been “getting by”, but sometimes Visits asks a specific question about a photograph or paragraph and we have to improvise. Anyone else have this version and do you all think it’s worth getting the version that it should be, for future modules?
This isn’t a different version but a different book entirely. Some of the same people are mentioned but the book is a different format. I have both books. But I don’t know how frequently the one is mentioned in the modules.
There are actually two books, similarly titled, authored by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio. The original book, Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, chronicles 30 families and is written for adults (but can certainly be read by older children or as a family read-aloud). It looks like this:
Hungry Planet: What the World Eats
The second book, What the World Eats, was also written and photographed by Menzel and D’Aluisio, but it features only 24 families and is geared toward children ages 6 to 0. This is what it looks like:
HTH,
