One ofthe few ways most of us can get there together is through our food.”</I><BR>– from the Introduction<P>In these turbulent times, bestselling author and acclaimed New York Times columnist Marian Burros felt the change in America’s eating habits. More and more, Burros noticed that people were setting aside their salads and instead reaching for foods like meat loaf and mashed potatoes, while others longed for the cookies, cakes, and pies their moms used to bake.

From Hardtack to Homefries: An Uncommon History of American Cooks and Meals By Barbara Haber $16.99 <P>Barbara Haber, one of America’s most respected authorities on the history of food, has spent years excavating fascinating stories of the ways in which meals cooked and served by women have shaped American history. As any cook knows, every meal, and every diet, has a story — whether it relates to presidents and first ladies or to the poorest of urban immigrants. <I>From Hardtack to Home Fries</I> brings together the best and most inspiring of those stories, from the 1840s to the present, focusing on a remarkable assembly of little-known or forgotten Americans who determined what our country ate during some of its most trying periods. <P>Haber’s secret weapon is the cookbook. She unearths cookbooks and menus from rich and poor, urban and rural, long-past and near-present and uses them to answer some fascinating puzzles:<P>• Why was the food in Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s White House so famously bad? Were they trying to keep guests away, or did they themselves simply lack the taste to realize the truth? It turns out that Eleanor’s chef wrote a cookbook, which solves the mystery. <P>• How did food lure settlers to the hardship of the American West? Englishman Fred Harvey’s Harvey Girls tempted them with good food and good women. <P>• How did cooking keep alive World War II Army and Navy POWs in the Pacific? A remarkable cookbook reveals how recollections of home cooking and cooking resourcefulness helped mend bodies and spirits.<P><I>From Hardtack to Home Fries</I> uses a light touch to survey a deeply important subject. Women’s work and women’s roles in America’s past have not always been easy to recover. Barbara Haber shows us that a single, ubiquitous, ordinary-yet-extraordinary lens can illuminate a great deal of this other half of our past. Haber includes sample recipes and rich photographs, bringing the food of bygone eras back to life. <P><I>From Hardtack to Home Fries</I> is a feast, and a delight. |

The Glass Castle: A Memoir By Jeannette Walls $16 <p align=”left”>Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn’t stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an “excitement addict.” Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.</p><p align=”left”>Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town — and the family — Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents’ betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.</p><p align=”left”>What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.</p><p align=”left”>For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com, she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor. </p> |

goFrench: Learn to Speak, Read, and Understand French with Pimsleur Language Programs By Pimsleur and goPimsleur $29.99 <b><big><BR>The Pimsleur® Method teaches speaking and understanding right from the start <BR></big></b><BR>For almost 50 years, in over 50 languages, the Pimsleur® Method has been recognized by experts worldwide as one of the fastest and most effective ways to learn to speak another language. With Pimsleur you will learn French in the same way you learned your first language as a child, acquiring the vocabulary of the new language, along with the melody, rhythm, and intonation of French as used in everyday conversation. <BR><b><BR>The Science of Memory <BR></b><BR>Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s research on memory was one of his most significant achievements: he discovered that if reminded of new words and information at gradually increasing intervals of time, the learners would remember the words or information for increasingly longer periods.

You will start by sounding out French, learning to associate the new sound system to the English alphabet you know. Gradually you will learn to look at the words and see them with “French eyes.” And you will learn to read French without an English accent. <BR><b><BR>Learn on the Go!</b><BR><b><i>go</i>French</b> makes it easier than ever to use the Pimsleur programs by including the spoken lessons in two audio formats.
