    This dramatic history of an ingredient that changed the world “offers up a number of fascinating stories” (The New York Times Book Review). 
     
    Sugar explores the history behind the sweetness, revealing, among other stories, how powerful American interests deposed Queen Lili’uokalani of Hawaii; how Hitler tried to ensure a steady supply of beet sugar when enemies threatened to cut off Germany’s supply of overseas cane sugar; and how South Africa established a domestic ethanol industry in the wake of anti-apartheid sugar embargos.  
     
    The book follows the role of sugar in world events and in individual lives up to the present day, showing how it made eating on the run socially acceptable and played an integral role in today’s fast food culture and obesity epidemic. Impressively researched and commandingly written, Sugar will forever change perceptions of this tempting treat.

    This culinary travelogue is “a deeply researched guide to north-of-the-border taco culture and history” (Los Angeles Times). 
     
    Tacos may have been created south of the border, but Americans have made this Mexican food their own, with each style reflective of a time and a place. American Tacos explores them all, taking us on a detailed and delicious journey through the evolution of this dish. 
     
    In search of every taco variety from California to Texas and beyond, José Ralat traveled from coast to coast and border to border, visiting thirty-eight cities across the country. He examines the pervasive crunchy taco and the new Alta California tacos from chefs Wes Avila, Christine Rivera, and Carlos Salgado. He tastes famous Tex-Mex tacos like the puffy taco and breakfast taco, then tracks down the fry bread taco and the kosher taco. And he searches for the regional hybrid tacos of the American South and the modern, chef-driven tacos of restaurants everywhere. Throughout, he tells the story of how each style of taco came to be, creating a rich look at the diverse taco landscape north of the border. Featuring interviews with taqueros and details on taco paraphernalia and the trappings of taco culture, American Tacos is a book no taco fan will want to take a bite without. 
     
    “[American Tacos] offers plenty of recommendations on where to get great tacos…But it offers much more than that.” ?Chicago Tribune 
     
    “A fast-paced cultural survey and travel guide . . . An exceptional book.” ?TASTE

    Native American herbal medicine is a time-honored tradition that has been passed down through generations, rooted deeply in the connection between the land and the people who have lived on it for thousands of years. The knowledge of herbs and their medicinal properties was not just a matter of survival; it was an integral part of a spiritual and holistic worldview. Native Americans viewed plants as gifts from the Earth, each with a unique power to heal, nourish, and protect the body, mind, and spirit. 
    For many indigenous tribes, the use of herbs was interwoven with their daily lives, ceremonial practices, and healing rituals. The relationship between humans and plants was based on respect and reciprocity, with herbs considered sacred allies that provided both physical remedies and spiritual guidance. It was through the careful observation of nature and the development of a deep understanding of plant properties that Native American herbalists were able to cultivate a remarkable body of knowledge that still influences modern medicine today. 
    Herbs were used to treat a wide array of ailments, from common colds and fevers to more serious conditions such as infections, wounds, and chronic illnesses. But the medicinal use of plants went beyond merely alleviating symptoms. Native American healers recognized the importance of balance, viewing the body as a whole system in need of harmony. Herbs were often used in combination with other healing techniques, such as massage, prayer, and ritual, to ensure that the body, mind, and spirit were all in alignment.

    Explore the recipes and history behind an array of sweet treats from the Sugar State with help from the author of Classic Eateries of Cajun Country.Louisiana is famous for its culinary delights, and the state’s rich medley of treats and confections proves its sweet tooth. Creative bakers improvised traditional recipes during days of rationing to create gateau de sirop (syrup cake) and bread pudding. Early customers of Lea’s Lunchroom’s pies in central Louisiana included outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, who dropped by while they were on the run. During the 1950s, singers Hank Williams Sr. and Elvis Presley hung out at Shreveport’s Southern Maid Donuts after performing at the popular Louisiana Hayride country music broadcast. Author Dixie Poché dives into the recipes and history behind such beloved regional specialties as Mardi Gras king cake, flaming Bananas Foster, Cajun Country’s pain perdu and many more.“Desserts Past, Present, and Future are the stars of Dixie Poché’s new book, Louisiana Sweets: King Cakes, Bread Pudding, and Sweet Dough Pie. The Lafayette-based travel writer gets rather Dickensian (but trade that tacky soot for powdered sugar) as she lays outs a picture of the state’s love affair with sweets through history, anecdotes, recipes, restaurant profiles, and more.” —Country Roads Magazine

    “Recounts Boston’s long and storied history with beer—including the story of how the Green Dragon Tavern became the birthplace of the Revolutionary War.” —Pulse   Since before Patriots like Paul Revere and Sam Adams fermented a revolution in smoky Beantown taverns, beer has been integral to the history of Boston. The city issued its first brewing license in 1630, and breweries like Haffenreffer Brewery and American Brewing Company quickly sprung up. This heady history took a turn for the worse when the American Temperance Movement championed prohibition, nearly wiping out all of the local breweries. In 1984, the amber liquid was revitalized as Jim Koch introduced Samuel Adams craft brews to the Hub and the nation. Shortly after, Harpoon Brewery emerged and became the largest brewery to make all its beers in New England. From the planning of the Boston Tea Party over a pint at Green Dragon Tavern to the renaissance of the burgeoning craft brewing scene, join author and “Beer Nut” Norman Miller as he savors the sudsy history of brewing in the Hub.  “Boston Beer’s strengths lie in the interviews and attention to detail about the last few decades of Boston brewing, and those interested in the behind the scene stories of Boston’s craft beer innovators will enjoy this read.” —Malcolm Purinton, Yankee Brew News “A brief but interesting history of brewing in Boston from Colonial times through Trillium.” —Two-Column Barley  “Miller’s Boston Beer focuses on the city itself. His story begins with the role tavern life in general, and beer in particular, played in the unfolding drama of the American Revolution on the streets of Boston.” —Boston Herald
