"August Escoffier's reflection on a lifetime in kitchens, is available in paperback...If...serious about French food, cooking technique, garnishes or simply reading about the topic, this reference from a founder of London's Savoy Hotel, who has been called the greatest cook ever, could be a treasured gift. Translated into English, it includes U.S. measures and notes so if [you] decide to actually make Chaudfroid of Chicken or Acacia Blossom Fritters, there is nothing to stop [you]."--"Atlanta Journal."
The most famous chef of them all - bar none, including Jamie Oliver. It is hard to over empathise his importance to fine cuisine. We derive the word 'scoff' from his name of course.
A guide to political struggle for a generation that is deeply ambivalent about power. While many activists gravitate toward mere self-expression and identity-affirming rituals at the expense of serious political intervention, Smucker provides an apologia for leadership, organization, and collective power, a moral argument for its cultivation, and a discussion of dilemmas that movements must navigate in order to succeed.
Three Sardines on a Bench is a humorous and fantastic children's picture book. The story centres around three eccentric sardines sharing their views on the world; pontificating on strange matters and purporting to know things that the sardines obviously know nothing about. The sardines begin to even baffle themselves with some of life's unanswered questions. This small, quirky and precocious book reminds us of the importance of broadening our horizons, seizing life's every moment and not wasting time.

"This book uses the case of Chile to study how social mobilization endures in marginalized urban contexts, allowing activists to engage in large-scale democratizing processes. It develops a novel analytical framework called 'mobilizational citizenship' to explain people's engagement in durable and large-scale urban collective action"--
Provides a new way of thinking about parties formed by social movements, and their evolution over time.
Moving Memory is an ethnography of remembrance in the field of tension between post-dictatorship Chile and occupied Palestine that offers new insights into memory politics as a globally resurgent and increasingly transnational phenomenon. It tells a largely untold story of a Palestinian diaspora: how a predominantly Christian, conservative, and wealthy elite has come to form the backbone of a diasporic community to which the Palestinian struggle remains a central mobilizing force. Schwabe explores how Palestinian diaspora politics play into larger attempts to obscure the recent Chilean past and its consequences, all the while working to counter Zionist efforts to negate and erase Palestinian existence. Despite considerable efforts to contain them, memories move. They travel across porous and ever-changing geographical and socio-political boundaries, reconfiguring realities in the process. In exploring the paradoxes of remembering and forgetting between Palestine and Chile as intertwining nodes in the complex field of global memory politics, the book demarcates the limits and possibilities of forging solidarity at the fault lines of memory.
