My Kind of County: Door County, Wisconsin (Center for American Places - My Kind of . . . series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The shores of Door County, Wisconsin have long served as an idyllic retreat for Midwestern families.

John A. Jakle
My Kind of Midwest: Omaha to Ohio (Center for American Places - My Kind of . . . series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: “Will it play in Peoria?” That question—only half-joking—hovers over everything from politics to television, an acknowledgment that the Midwest is perhaps the most emblematic regions of the United States today. Stereotypes both good and bad abound about Midwesterners, but in this incisive yet poignant book, John Jakle reveals a rich and telling portrait of the contemporary Midwest and its people.In engaging prose, Jakle chronicles his childhood and adult life in the Midwest interwoven with a look at the region’s geographic and cultural history. My Kind of Midwest reveals that the region is more than just a group of “flyover states,” as Jakle tells a engaging narrative that recounts his youthful explorations of the flourishing cities of Detroit and Chicago in the 1940s, the rapid growth and importance of gateway cities such as Omaha, Kansas City, and Cincinnati along the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri rivers, and the integral role of tourism to Midwestern states’ economies.An intimate… [detailed...]

Dick Nygren
My Kind of War

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In My Kind of War, author Dick Nygren shares his adventures and journey as a young soldier conscripted during the Second World War to fight in the Pacific. Not without humor, Nygren illustrates with poignancy, raw grit and a fair amount of irony what it was like to become a man during the Great War. Upon being drafted, he made his way from basic training to overseas training and, finally, describes what it was like to be plopped down in New Guinea and how it is he kept his wits about him. Particularly relevant in regards to modern America’s War Against Terror, the author’s message is a resounding and patriotic hymn to love one’s country and die if necessary for freedom. As the country loses thousands of WWII veterans each and every day, this sort of personal narrative becomes a staple in preserving the nation’s memory. The fact is that Nygren’s war is one that all Americans must value and do their best to immortalize. [detailed...]

Betty Fussell
My Kitchen Wars: A Memoir (At Table)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although My Kitchen Wars is a war story, this time the warrior is a woman and the battleground the kitchen. Her weapons—the batterie de cuisine of grills and squeezers and knives—evoke a lifetime’s need to make dinner, love, and war. By prying open the past with these implements, Betty Fussell gives voice to a generation of women whose stories were shaped and yet simultaneously silenced by an era of domestic strife and global conflict, from World War II to Vietnam. My Kitchen Wars also is a love story, recounting Fussell’s liberation from the tyrannical Puritanism of her family by a veteran of the “Good War,” a young writer named Paul Fussell. But she soon finds herself captive again, constrained by the roles of faculty wife and mother. Still, she cannot stop hungering for both a life of the mind and carnal pleasures. Her inner war to unite body and mind brings down the marriage in a denouement as brutal as the whack of a cleaver. Yet Fussell, however bruised, emerges to cook another… [detailed...]

My Last Supper: 50 Great Chefs and Their Final Meals: Portraits, Interviews, and Recipes

2007 y.
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Description: Chefs have been playing the `My Last Supper` game among themselves for decades, if not centuries, but it had always been kept within the profession until now. Melanie Dunea came up with the ingenious idea to ask fifty of the world`s famous chefs to let her in on this insider`s game and tell her what their final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity Fair-style portraits. Their responses are surprising, refreshing, and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves. The portraits-gorgeous, intimate, and playful-are informed by their answers and reveal the passions and personalities of the most respected names in the business. Lastly, one recipe from each landmark meal is included in the back of the book. With My Last Supper, Dunea found a way into the typically harried, hidden minds of the people who have turned preparing food into an art. Who wouldn`t want to know where Alain Ducasse would like his supper to be? And who would… [detailed...]

Description: “In the process of writing this book I discovered there were clear, broad, even universal themes that ran through my life, a coherent arc to my journey that, if I could be truthful in the telling, might provide a road map for other women as they face the challenges of relationships, self-image, and forgiveness. What I did not anticipate was how my journey would also resonate with men.” America knows Jane Fonda as actress and activist, feminist and wife, workout guru and role model. In this extraordinary memoir, Fonda shows that she is much more. From her youth among Hollywood’s elite to her film career and her activism today, Fonda reveals intimate details and personal truths she hopes “can provide a lens through which others can see their lives and how they can live them a little differently.” Surprising, candid, and wonderfully written, My Life So Far is filled with insights into the personal struggles of a woman living a remarkable life.
