Simon Brett's oldest and most beloved character, Charles Paris, is back. Paris, the often out-of-work actor, has a good part for a change playing Sir Toby Belch in a summer festival production of "Twelfth Night." But when the director takes ill and then Paris' friend in the production is the apparent victim of intentional food poisoning meant for Paris, it's not long until the bodies start to turn up. Paris is forced to deal with a wild young director whose idea of Shakespeare the bard himself would hate.

Offering opinions is the second most necessary ingredient for human life. Studies show that we can go only three minutes without air, perhaps three days without water, maybe three weeks without food. and but three hours without offering somebody our suggestions, responses, or critiques.A perennial "hot" topic in management circles is the process of giving, getting and analyzing advice. This brief and engaging book can be of use to anyone who has to interact with other people. You'll enjoy the "read" so much that you may not realize how much you have gained - all in words of one syllable! How to offer feedback when asked (or hired) to do so. Why feedback tells more about the giver than the receiver. How feedback is distorted or resisted by the receiver's point of view and defense mechanisms. And in dozens of enjoyable vignettes, how humans have struggled to understand each others' responses. Here's what some reviewers said:I had several 'ahas' reading this clear and entertaining excursion into everyday interactions. Feedback should be given sparingly and taken thoughtfully - with a grain of salt. That's one (of many) useful messages demonstrated here. -Marvin Weisbord, author Productive WorkplacesThis is a how-to book about relationships with depth, humor and insight far beyond the ordinary. (The authors) deal masterfully with the contradictory impulses we all feel to 'say it like it is' or flee in terror. -Barbara Benedict Bunker, Organizational Consultant, Professor, SUNY at BuffaloThe authors of this wonderful book have untangled and demythologized feedback! -Elsie Y. Cross, CEO, Elsie Y. Cross Associates

The year is 1860. In Evanston, Illinois, a young, unassuming butcher, Ruse Blackburn, wants what every man wants, to earn a decent living and marry a lovely wife. With these goals almost in his grasp, the privileged stomp on his ambitions. Ruse, rightly accused of murder and tortured, sells his soul and ends up as General William T. Sherman's aide-charged with keeping the general drunk enough to do evil but sober enough to conduct war. As Sherman's troops pillage Georgia, Ruse sinks deeper and deeper into madness. In the meantime, beautiful Anne Southern lives a life of lonely luxury with her two young sons at Meridian Plantation. Her husband, Allen, fires the mortar that begins the Civil War and abandons his family to fight for the Confederacy. Swept with her dependents to Atlanta by the winds of war, Anne must deal with a society in decline and a diminishing food supply. To feed her children, in an act of desperation and desire, she gives dearly to a suitor for ten pounds of jerky. Evicted from Atlanta, Anne returns to the plantation. There, she encounters Major Ruse Blackburn and his skinning knife-a man with a grudge to settle and a proclivity for cutting pretty flesh. Anne finds herself completely without resources and must make difficult decisions.… "A very entertaining, mile-a-minute style, and remarkably vivid characters." Diana Gabaldon, New York Times bestselling author of the award winning Outlander novels.

John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes. On July 12, 1897, London (age 21) and his sister's husband Captain Shepard sailed to join the Klondike Gold Rush. This was the setting for some of his first successful stories. London's time in the Klondike, however, was detrimental to his health. Like so many other men who were malnourished in the goldfields, London developed scurvy. His gums became swollen, leading to the loss of his four front teeth. A constant gnawing pain affected his hip and leg muscles, and his face was stricken with marks that always reminded him of the struggles he faced in the Klondike. Father William Judge, "The Saint of Dawson," had a facility in Dawson that provided shelter, food and any available medicine to London and others. His struggles there inspired London's short story, "To Build a Fire" (1902, revised in 1908), which many critics assess as his best. London began his writing career just as new printing technologies enabled lower-cost production of magazines. This resulted in a boom in popular magazines aimed at a wide

In all of recorded history, humanity has never been engaged in a battle as significant as the one we face today. Never has our future been threatened as severely as it is now. The enemy is not a terrorist organization or a rogue nation seeking global domination; it is the environment we have created -the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we consume. We have taken the gifts of life presented to us and poisoned them. Over the last two centuries, the human race has radically altered this planet and in so doing has radically reduced its own capacity to deal with toxic exposure. The human body possesses an incomprehensible wisdom that we have yet to fully grasp, a wisdom that enables us to heal from a multitude of injuries, illnesses, and traumas. However, our bodies were not designed to manage the magnitude of toxicity we expose them to every day. The result is an epidemic of cancer, respiratory and heart disease, diabetes, allergies, and a multitude of other environmental and physical illnesses. Detoxification, on both a global and a personal level, has become a necessity in our modern world. My introduction to detoxification grew out of necessity. I was exposed to Agent Orange-considered the most toxic human-made toxin ever produced-on numerous occasions during the Vietnam War. As a result of this exposure, I developed a nerve disease known as peripheral neuropathy that affects much of my body, causing me to limp and limiting the use of my arms and hands. I found no solutions in our conventional medical system and eventually began what has now become my pioneering research and writing in the natural health movement. I learned that my lymphatic system was essential for dealing with toxins in the body and how, by naturally cleansing the lymph and other systems, I could not only eliminate these toxins but also lose weight and alleviate other health conditions at the same time. I am, as far as I know, the longest survivor of Agent Orange-induced periphera

Not long ago, Philadelphias culinary identity could be described in one word: Cheesesteak. But today youre as likely to hear food lovers discussing Iron Chef Jose Garces, restaurant mogul Stephen Starr, Marc Is this the Best Italian Restaurant in America? Vetri, and the gelato genius of Capogiro. Youll find them crowding into Honeys Sit n Eat for a Jewish-Southern brunch, lining up for bespoke cocktails at Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co, and planning a year in advance for dinner at Talulas Table. And these Philly food devotees are always hungry for more. One thing hasnt changed since the citys cheesesteak days, when friendly rivalries between vendors earned the humble sandwich its place atop Philly foodie lore. The personalitiesthe talented, memorable chefs in the citys kitchensare the driving force behind the citys current restaurant revolution. Philadelphia Chefs Table captures this vibrant moment in Philadelphias dining scene through recipes from and conversations with more thanfifty of the citys most influential and well-known chefs.

An authentic culinary journey-part memoir, part cookbook-introducing readers to the people, places, and food of Umbria Veteran food critic Suzanne Carriero spent a year and a half in Umbria, and this is her intimate look at its ancient recipes, traditions, and the people who pass them on. Each of the book's eight chapters features local cooks, as their personal stories are as much a part of the cuisine's essence as are the crops they grow and the family dishes they prepare. Anecdotes, sidebars, and boxes are used throughout the book to further illustrate Umbrian life-from buying a rabbit in the country, to making torta di Pasqua for Easter, to reading the Italian wine label, and drinking cappuccino after lunch (a serious breach in tradition). With a food and wine glossary included as a reference for travelers, The Dog Who Ate the Truffle immerses the reader in the people, cuisine, and lifestyle that few are privileged to experience. Suzanne's colorful stories and authentic classic recipes make for an intimate and illustrious travel cookbook.

This small digital cook book contains Arnie's favorite recipes for 1) Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies 2) Delicious Apple Pie 3) "Nuts & Bolts" Canada's Holiday Treat 4) Orshanka Homestyle White Bread & Buns 5) Arnie's Sunnyvale Pancakes 6) Canadian Spaghetti 7A) Canadian Ice Tea 7B) California Ice Tea. These recipes come from several modern day sources and a little experimentation. All have been tested thoroughly with great success! Many of these recipes have their origins back in the early 1960's and have been passed down from generation to generation. While working on the 3rd Presidential Kids Art Album eBook, "4 Years Success! President Barack Obama & Family", I thought it would be fun to include a little bit of my own family baking history. With the 2009 Christmas holidays rapidly approaching these special family recipes were then shared with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the Kremlin staff, President Barack Obama, his family, and the White House staff. The recipes were greatly appreciated by both the Kremlin (Russian Government) and the White House (American Government) as a gesture of peace and friendship at the holidays. When an American President now travels to Russia on a working visit, he can be sure that a fresh American style apple pie will be waiting for him upon his arrival! Enjoy these delicious family recipes that have been a staple of my life for over 40 years!

The book that cracks the code, from the incomparable Patricia Wells. An acclaimed authority on French cuisine, Ms. Wells has spent more than 30 years in Paris, many as former restaurant critic for The International Herald Tribune. Now her revered Food Lover's Guide to Paris is back in a completely revised, brand-new edition. In 457 entries-345 new to this edition, plus 112 revisited and reviewed classics-The Food Lover's Guide to Paris offers an elegantly written go-to guide to the very best restaurants, cafés, wine bars, and bistros in Paris, as well as where to find the flakiest croissants, earthiest charcuteries, sublimest cheese, most ethereal macarons, and impeccable outdoor markets. The genius of the book is Ms. Wells's meritocratic spirit. Whether you're looking for a before-you-die Michelin three-star experience (Guy Savoy, perhaps, or Restaurant Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée) or wanting to sample the new bistronomy (Bistrot Paul Bert, Le Comptoir du Relais) or craving something simple and perfect (L'As du Fallafel, or Breizh Café for crêpes), Patricia Wells tells you exactly where to go and why you should go there. You no longer have to rely on the iffy "reviews" of Yelp or Trip Advisor. Included are 40 recipes from some of her favorite chefs and purveyors and, of course, all the practical information: addresses, websites, email, hours, closest métro stop, specialties, and more.
