Sebastian Barry
A Long Long Way

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With acclaimed works like The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty , Irish author Sebastian Barry has earned a reputation as a ?master storyteller? ( The Wall Street Journal ). In A Long Long Way he has created an unforgettable portrait of the horrors of war through the story of Willie Dunne, a young man who leaves his native Dublin in 1914 to join the Allies on the Western Front. Caught between the catastrophic violence he encounters there and the growing political tension at home over Irish independence, Willie finds himself confronting unbearable choices regarding family, patriotism, and the devotion he feels toward his regiment. A deeply affecting portrayal of personal struggle and the consequences of war, this is one of Barry`s most powerful accomplishments. ?Barry succeeds admirably in creating complex individuals who find themselves trapped in a brutal reality… Beautiful and soul-wrenching.? ?

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since 1984, Newsweek has been renowned for its vivid, in-depth special election coverage of the ordeal of running for the presidency. A year before the election, Newsweek assigns reporters to get inside the campaigns of the Republican and Democratic candidates. Newsweek promises not to publish any information until after the votes are cast, and in exchange, the reporters receive remarkable access. They travel with the candidates, are there at crucial turning points and confidential meetings, and uncover stories not covered in day-to-day reporting. In this book, a compelling narrative by Evan Thomas, Newsweek shares the inside stories from one of the most exciting elections in recent history, illuminating the personalities and events that influenced the outcome, and taking stock of the key players and key issues for the new administration. This will be an absorbing read for anyone interested in American politics. [detailed...]

A Loonie for Luck

2003 y.
Publisher: McClelland &, Stewart
Description: In February 2002, the greatest hockey teams this country could muster headed to Salt Lake City to compete in the Winter Olympics. Our men and women hoped to go all the way to the finals, but it had been fifty long years since the Canadians had won Olympic gold. In the past, they had come close - it was just that luck always seemed to be against them. This time, however, their chances to end the long drought were good. The women looked set for a medal - although the all-powerful American team stood between them and the ultimate prize. The Canadian men faced strong opponents, too, but prospects were good for the all-star team assembled by the great Wayne Gretzky. And this time, both teams had a secret weapon. So secret, in fact, they didn`t even know it existed. At first. Like all good secrets this one was too good not to pass along. Under the surface at centre ice, Trent Evans had hidden a Canadian loonie. The expert ice maker had been invited down from Edmonton to… [detailed...]

A Love Affair with Southern Cooking: Recipes and Recollections

2007 y.
Publisher: William Morrow Cookbooks
Description: More than a cookbook, this is the story of how a little girl, born in the South of Yankee parents, fell in love with southern cooking at the age of five. And a bite of brown sugar pie was all it took. `I shamelessly wangled supper invitations from my playmates,` Anderson admits. `But I was on a voyage of discovery, and back then iron-skillet corn bread seemed more exotic than my mom`s Boston brown bread and yellow squash pudding more appealing than mashed parsnips.` After college up north, Anderson worked in rural North Carolina as an assistant home demonstration agent, scarfing good country cooking seven days a week: crispy `battered` chicken, salt-rising bread, wild persimmon pudding, Jerusalem artichoke pickles, Japanese fruitcake. Later, as a New York City magazine editor, then a freelancer, Anderson covered the South, interviewing cooks and chefs, sampling local specialties, and scribbling notebooks full of recipes. Now, at long last, Anderson shares her… [detailed...]

A Love Noire : A Novel

Description: Book Description When Noire, a hip, Afro-wearing Ph.D. student, walks into Brown Betty Books, her righteousness kicks into overdrive amid the self-identified `talented tenth` who wear their double degrees and five-hundred-dollar shoes like badges of honor. And then Innocent walks in, sits down beside her, and turns her on her head. A dashing, well-heeled investment banker originally from Cote d`Ivoire, West Africa, Innocent seems interested in her … but he`s one of them. Before meeting him, Noire shunned the `bourgie` world of black monied cosmopolitans like Innocent, opting instead for socially conscious -- but economically challenged -- artists and urban intellectuals. Their mutual attraction blossoms into lust and eventually love, but it lives in the shifting sands of personal beliefs and professional ambitions that are often at odds. Set in present-day New York City with jaunts to Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, A Love Noire is the story of an… [detailed...]

A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane`s Signature Album

2003 y.
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
Description: Few albums in the canon of popular music have had the influence, resonance, and endurance of John Coltrane`s 1965 classic A Love Supreme -a record that proved jazz was a fitting medium for spiritual exploration and for the expression of the sublime. Bringing the same fresh and engaging approach that characterized his critically acclaimed Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece , Ashley Kahn tells the story of the genesis, creation, and aftermath of this classic recording. Featuring interviews with more than one hundred musicians, producers, friends, and family members, unpublished interviews with Coltrane and bassist Jimmy Garrison, and scores of never-before-seen photographs, A Love Supreme balances biography, cultural context, and musical analysis in a passionate and revealing portrait.

A Love of the Land: Selected Writings of John Fraser Hart

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: John Fraser Hart is one of America’s best known geographers and his prolific writings about the land and its variegated character are elegant and informed. In A Love of the Land, geographer John C. Hudson has gathered a collection of Hart’s seminal essays from the last fifty years, which have received wide literary and scholarly acclaim.The thirteen essays collected in this volume reveal the rich breadth of Hart’s work. In these pieces, Hart meditates on the meaning of geographical study, suburban sprawl, the contemporary uses of land and space, and changes wrought on rural landscapes by the modernization of farms and the growth of industrial agriculture. Whether sheep farming in the British moorlands, the history of the Cotton Belt in the American South, or the industrialization of livestock production, Hart vividly narrates the age-old story of humans and their deep ties to the land, as he deftly blends facts and analysis with engaging anecdotes of his and others’ experiences.

A Machine to Make a Future: Biotech Chronicles

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A Machine to Make a Future represents a remarkably original look at the present and possible future of biotechnology research in the wake of the mapping of the human genome. The central tenet of Celera Diagnostics--the California biotech company whose formative work during 2003 is the focus of the book--is that the emergent knowledge about the genome, with its profound implications for human health, can now be turned into a powerful diagnostic apparatus--one that will yield breakthrough diagnostic and therapeutic products (and, potentially, profit). Celera`s efforts--assuming they succeed--may fundamentally reshape the fabric of how health and health care are understood, practiced, and managed. Presenting a series of interviews with all of the key players in Celera Diagnostics, Paul Rabinow and Talia Dan-Cohen open a fascinating window on the complexity of corporate scientific innovation. This marks a radical departure from other books on the biotech industry by… [detailed...]

A Magical Journey With Carlos Castaneda

2001 y.
Publisher: iUniverse
Description: Carlos Castaneda burst onto the academic and cultural scene in 1968 when he published the first of four books detailing his supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer named Don Juan. While academic critics contend Castaneda invented Don Juan, believers say the fog surrounding his existence express the very ideals that Castaneda attributed to his apprenticeship. Little is known of the Peruvian claiming to be Don Juan`s apprentice, but in addition to leading a generation into a mystical otherworld, Carlos Castaneda was also a man. Married to him for thirteen years was Margaret Runyan Castaneda. `A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda` reads partly like a love story, partly like a tell-all account of a celebrity writer. Margaret Castaneda concentrates on the years leading up to her marriage in 1960. It was then Margaret and Carlos explored many of the ideas from controlling dreams to using hallucinogenic mushrooms that he claims to have arned from Don Juan. … [detailed...]
