The Last Food of England

2007 y.
Publisher: Ebury Press
Description: The English tend to think that their native food has disappeared off the map completely—and in some cases it is undoubtedly endangered. But this work shines a light on what remains and highlights what could endure. The author`s quest to find the `last food` in England leads to his discovery of the last domestic wood oven in use, the undertaker-cum-butcher who roasts his own oxen, the fisherman who regularly takes his life in his hands to catch oysters, green top milk being made deep in the forest, crayfish facing extinction, and four types of English butter. This wonderful voyage of discovery is an invitation to cook without recipes, travel without guides, and find history without museums. [detailed...]

Stanley Aronowitz
The Last Good Job in America

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Money, jobs, careers, training-all are topics often overheard in the conversation of middle-class Americans today. One of the nation`s leading critics of education, the world of work, and the labor movement, Stanley Aronowitz has, over three decades, shown how new technologies, labor, and education all are deeply intertwined in our culture and everyday lives. This new book reflects Aronowitz`s latest thinking at a time when globalization has brought these connections to broad public attention. Aronowitzargues for the decline of the job` as the backbone, along with family, of American society. Even at a time of high employment, low wages and job insecurity leave many families at or below the poverty line. The career instability previously experienced mostly by blue-collar workers has now spread to middle managers and high-level executives caught in the rapid movement of capital and technologies. Today`s world, he argues, calls for a new social contract between employers and workers…. [detailed...]

The Last Harvest: Truck Farmers in the Deep South (Center Books on the American South)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Perry Dilbeck`s black-and-white photographs affectionately document the disappearing livelihood of the southern truck farmer. Small and independent operators, truck farmers typically own fewer than forty acres of land and sell their vegetables and fruits at roadside stands or local farmers` markets. In recent years, the rise of large-scale commercial farming coupled with overdevelopment, which swallows up farmland daily, has greatly diminished this traditional business. To honor these farmers, Dilbeck chose to photograph them with a Holga, the simplest of plastic cameras. The Holga was first produced in 1982 as an inexpensive mass-market camera for working-class Chinese, who used them for family portraits or at family events. The sometimes surprising effects of the Holga, including vignetting and blurring, have popularized it with fine-art photographers. Dilbeck, who formed close relationships with the farmers he portrays, always carried a tape recorder with him. The farmers`… [detailed...]

The Last Honest Man : Mordecai Richler: An Oral Biography

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionNovelist, essayist, satirist, and iconoclast, Mordecai Richler made an international reputation with such contemporary fiction triumphs as Barney’s Version and The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz . His death in July 2001 prompted heartfelt tributes from around the world that acknowledged his humour, intellect, soft heart, and irrepressible curmudgeonliness. The Last Honest Man documents the writer’s public and private lives through the words of his family and friends, colleagues and rivals, editors, writers, filmmakers, drinking pals, snooker buddies, and many others. To borrow a phrase from his long-time editor, Robert Gottlieb, this unusual biography captures the grumpy and the high-spirited man, the generous and the distanced, the enthusiastic and the sardonic, the hungry and the fastidious, the man who was awkward in crowded social situations but consummately at ease in Winston’s bar in Montreal.

To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23-year-old college drop-out, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper. The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courtroom in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in Mississippi in 1970, `life` didn`t necessarily mean `life`, and nine years later Danny Padgitt manages to get himself paroled. He returns to Ford County, and the retribution begins.

Description: `We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.` --Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled `The Last Lecture.` Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can`t help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn`t have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--`Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams`--wasn`t about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because `time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think`). It was a summation of everything Randy… [detailed...]
