This collection of a series of interviews will give anyone interested in Miller's plays insight into his themes and thought processes, and how his personal life has impacted on his writing. The conversations are engaging and thought-provoking.

Of all the cookie cookbooks I've seen, I must say this by far has the best mix of flavor and warmth a cookbook could have. The recipes are absolutely delicious, but the illustrations' "home-sweet-home" feel is what sets this book apart from the rest and brings you back to "mamma's good ol' baking." I recommend this book to all cookie lovers out there!

This is a great cookbook. First, it is a pleasure to look at, with gorgeous full-color pictures for every recipe. It's easy to follow, with clear instructions and ingredient lists.

Most importantly, the recipes work. The recipe for sesame chicken with apricots and snow peas is fabulous, and there are many more that look equally wonderful.

Although this is a cookbook with healthy recipes, some of them are a bit higher in fat. The book notes that when you eat one of those, it's a good idea to balance out your diet with some lower-fat foods. In general, though, this book gives you some great ideas for eating in a healthy way without sacrificing taste and pleasure in food.

Miller is world famous for his Coyote Cafe. Here is his offering for drinks that are intense, flavorful, colorful, healthy, inexpensive, and non-timeconsuming to prepare and enjoy.

There are sections on Non-Alcoholoic Fruit Juice Drinks, Liquados and Lemonades, Coolers and Punches, Power Drinks and Fruit Smoothies and Fruit Juice Cocktails.

Try The Raven, a luscious concoction of pear nectar, black currant juice and sparkling water. It's refreshing, unique and packed with great flavor and color.

Also, tried so far these I would buy the book for alone: Liquado de Pina (Pineapple); White Peach Lemonade, Plum Cider Cooler, Mango Fusion and Lucindas Guadalajara Punch.

Ten Speed Press cookbooks (of which in my collection many of the best are) produces just outstanding style and quality: e.g. Miller's Red Sage, Tetsuya, and Charlie Trotters. This is in that same quality: great paper, photography and layout.

This will see year around use, especially in warmer times, but also in winter the smoothies can cheer one up.

i read this book 30 freaking years ago.its still an important part of my mind.it gave me a look into the ghetto that was all around me as i grew up in a working classcommunity that effectively exclude persons of color.thank you and "good night".troll.

As a teacher of children with special needs, I can't say enough about Mr. Epstein's enthralling little tale. Typos aside, it's rare to find a book that kids can indentify with in the main characters and situations, while not boring the teacher who has to assign it. I readily admit to being a Steve McQueen fan and found The Cooler King the perfect vehicle for introducing my passion to my students. That kind of passion is definitely infectious. Kudos to all concerned!

Again, N. Ritkowsky has put together an excellent text. Whether you use it in a classroom setting or as a programmed text designed to teach yourself, you won't be disappointed. It covers everything you need to know to be proficient at WordPerfect in a "student friendly" manner. She doesn't leave out steps like other authors I have experienced. I buy all of her books.

This book is a dream. If you like warmth, wood, natural finishes, natural shapes, a relative degree of simplicity where humaness rather than layers of chinz fabric or in-human white lines rules, truth, age and interiors full of love, then this is the most wonderful book on the subject I have ever seen. Of course its dominated by hundreds of full page, color photographs, each one stunning.

The main body of the book (about two thirds) is dominataed by chapters which divide up interior looks according to different countries. Miller covers English Country style, American colonial, Scandinavian/Swedish, Italin and Spanish plus a couple of others. Under each country, we get a tour of a number of special houses which represent the country style of that land. Under Italy, a beautiful Tuscan villa is visited room by room. Under England, a mid-sized Elizabethan home. And so on.

The remainder of the book, is divided into chapters which look at country style according to different rooms: kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms etc. Also a brief, but enlightening tour of country style through the ages - ie by period.

What more could you ask for? Sensational, utterly inspiring photographs - (is the text EVER really that useful in these sort of books?) Incidentally, if you love wood for your interiors, I also HIGHLY recommend Wooden Houses by the same author. all just glorious and real and definitely make one want to either move out of the city or somehow bring the warmth and beauty of this style into one's town house.

Although the first section moves just a little slow for the lay reader (he speaks of pyschological backgrounds in family relationships), the rest of the book is typical profundity as one would expect from Brueggemann.

In fact, this book is probbaly the most quotable Brueggemann to date (I've read about a dozen of his books).

Among the discussions: *The "dialectic" between PRAISE and COMPLAINT in the Christian life; *The concept of "othering" as the risky, demanding, dynamic process of relating to one who is not us; *Approaching God as EROS

This book is fun to read and fun to look at for both the reader and the "readee". The illustrations are wonderfully interesting. The text is fit for young readers, but not boring. A great book to have before or after a visit to the rodeo.
