In a movement that unfortunately has been defined in the public perception by one charismatic black leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the commitment and plain hard work performed by women, black and white, has long been overlooked. Schultz's fine book adds a new chapter to the emerging fuller story of this freedom movement. Her skillful weaving of personal stories with the larger social context of the movement, and her analysis of the influence of Jewish notions of morality and social justice, make this an important addition of civil rights scholarship. Moreover, because it is so smoothly written and filled with fascinating stories, it accomplishes something rare in historical scholarship--it's fun to read!

First-off, we would like to tip our golf caps to the two authors, Sharon Gerardi & Nadine Nemecheck, job well done. As you know, golf is a time consuming sport and if you love to walk it can be tiring after 18 holes. The last thing a golfer wants to do is cook a meal, until now. This clever little cookbook is fun, entertaining and easy to follow.

The book is loaded with clever golf named meals. Here are some examples: "Don't Shank it" Lamb Shanks, Chippy Chili Dip and Don't Choke (It's Only a Game) Chocolate Pie, just to mention a few. The books starts off with cocktails and appetizers (The Starter) and finishes off with wonderful desserts (Hole #9 The Sweet Spot). Try the Golf Bag Peanut Butter Crunch, a GolfOutlet.com favorite. It is so simple and great to stick in your bag for quick energy on the course. The book is jammed with quick prep meals, as well as meals that can be prepared while you are on the golf course, here is an example, The Niblick 5 hour Stew, perfect even for public course play.

Not only are the receipes exceptional but the book is loaded with fun golf trivia and facts. This book is fantastic. We would consider it any golfer's yardage book for accurate fun cooking.

This book is dedicated to the athletes of the Centennial Games. The first chapter talks about the first 100 years of Gold in track, diving, symnastics, basketball, ect. The 1996 Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Games Celebration. The second part introduces America's finest Chefs and Cooks. This is a hard cover 10 1/2 by 8 1/2 in size. Very nice book.

I was lucky to find this book that is now "OOP" out of print if you can find it. GET IT!! It has all those wonderful desserts that are featured on the back of the "Bordan's" sweetened condense milk wrapping like; Magic Cookie Bars, Rich Cheesecake, Key Lime Pie just to name a few.

Happy Baking

Michele Anna Jordan has the ability to cover a single ingredient in depth and create recipes, a lot of recipes that celebrate the foodstuff without making a cliche out of it. In "Tomatoes" she presents us with exquisite recipes that celebrate the old time, comfort foods in a solid and secure way. She also gives us some new and adventurous dishes to try, ones that no doubt will become favored summer classics as time goes by. A great little book for tomato junkies, young and old.

Two worlds collide from across the Atlantic Ocean when a well-respected man is charged with the dishonorable crime of bigamy. The defendant, Francisco Noguerol de Ullua, is a true man of his time striving from humble beginnings to shake off the weight of his birth and claim glory in the Americas. His crime is the consequence of unfortunate circumstances of miscommunication, strained familiar relationships, and the resurrection of a dead wife. The Cooks chronicle these true events providing a peek into 16th century Spanish life and culture in the New World with commentary that is helpful and revealing. This book is crafted in a light that truly makes the events of 400 years ago come to life-an excellent choice for students of Latin American history, legal history, or social history. Maps, glossary, and a chronicle of events included.

This fine book caused me to revisit Alexander Kinglake's EOTHEN and realize how good it was, too. Ms. Withey's prose style is highly readable, making easy reading for such an immense subject. The bibliography is a research treasure on its own. The author works in gentle irony and wit in a way that does not interfere with her subject matter. She does not let drop such items as the search for the perfect way to Italy but, rather, consistently mines these deserving themes once they are introduced. I highly recommend this book
