ADAPTED FROM THE CORDON BLEU COOKERY COURSE. Cooking With Eggs.
Macdonald and Jane's Publishers Ltd., London: 1977. 0356040178 Reprint Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition.
In this book, adapted from the Cordon Bleu Cookery Course (published by Purnell in association with the Cordon Bleu Cookery School), Rosemary Hume and Muriel Downes, Principal and Co-Principal of the School, have collected together some of the ways in which eggs are used as the main ingredient - in omelets, souffles, and the multitude of dishes based on simple boiled, poached or scrambled eggs. Ranging from the correct method to boil an egg - not, contrary to common belief, necessarily simple - to the most luxurious of sweet pancakes - Crepes Suzette - the sections cover every aspect of egg cookery.

The story of a female physician shipped to the infamous death camp and put to work in the infirmary. Translated into English from the German by Susan H. Ray. "A taut, terse Holocaust narrative that is all the more powerful for its ironic reserve." ÑKirkus Reviews "Lest Nazi Germany's brutalities be forgotten, this understated, appalling book, which first appeared in German in 1956, ought to remain perpetually in print . . . In May 1943, [Dr. Adelsberger] was transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where, under the general supervision of Josef Mengele, she was permitted to practice her profession . . . Her account of the starvation, cruelty, and sadism meted out to women and children against the backdrop . . . of the flames and stench from burning bodies will long remain in the minds of readers."ÑBooklist

ADLER, FRANCES PAYNE (EDITOR); BUSMAN, DEBRA (EDITOR); GARCIA, DIANA (EDITOR). Fire And Ink: An Anthology Of Social Action Writing.
University of Arizona Press, Tucson . s Softcover. Brand new book.
Fire and Ink is a powerful and impassioned anthology of stories, poems, interviews, and essays that confront some of the most pressing social issues of our day. Designed to inspire and inform, this collection embodies the concepts of "breaking silence," "bearing witness," resistance, and resilience. Beyond students and teachers, the book will appeal to all readers with a commitment to social justice. Fire and Ink brings together, for the first time in one volume, politically engaged writing by poets, fiction writers, and essayists. Including many of our finest writersÑMart’n Espada, Adrienne Rich, June Jordan, Patricia Smith, Gloria Anzaldœa, Sharon Olds, Arundhati Roy, Sonia Sanchez, Carolyn Forche, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Alice Walker, Linda Hogan, Gary Soto, Kim Blaeser, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Li-Young Lee, and Jimmy Santiago Baca, among othersÑthis is an indispensable collection. This groundbreaking anthology marks the emergence of social action writing as a distinct field within creative writing and literature. Featuring never-before-published pieces, as well as reprinted material, Fire and Ink is divided into ten sections focused on significant social issues, including identity, sexuality and gender, the environment, social justice, work, war, and peace. The pieces can often be gripping, such as "Frame," in which Adrienne Rich confronts government and police brutality, or Chris Abani's "Ode to Joy," which documents great courage in the face of mortal danger. Fire and Ink serves as a wonderful reader for a wide range of courses, from composition and rhetoric classes to courses in ethnic studies, gender studies, American studies, and even political science, by facing a past that was often accompanied by injustice and suffering. But beyond that, this collection teaches us that we all have the power to create a more equitable and just future.

ADLER, MARGOT. Drawing Down The Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-worshippers, And Other Pagans In America Today.
Penguin Group, New York: . 014019536X Revised and Expanded Edition. s Softcover. Good condition.
The only detailed history of a little-known and widely misunderstood movement, Drawing Down the Moon provides a fascinating look at the religious experiences, beliefs, and lifestyles of the Neo-Pagan subculture. Margot Adler attended ritual gatherings and interviewed a diverse, colorful gallery of people across the United States, people who find inspiration in ancient deities, nature, myth, even science fiction. Contrary to sterotype, what Adler discovered was neither cults nor odd sects, but religious groups that are nonauthoritarian in spirit and share the belief that there is no one path to divinity. This edition includes a completely updated and expanded resource guide that details several hundred journal, festivals, newsletters, and groups. "Given the lurid connotations Neo-Paganism has acquired ... Drawing Down the Moon is a healthy corrective." - The New York Times Book Review

ADLER-LOMNITZ, LARISSA; ELENA, RODRIGO SALAZAR; ADLER, ILYA. Symbolism And Ritual In A One- Party Regime: Unveiling Mexico's Political Culture.
University of Arizona Press, Tucson 2010. First Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Because of the long dominance of Mexico's leading political party, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, the campaigns of its presidential candidates were never considered relevant in determining the victor. This book offers an ethnography of the Mexican political system under PRI hegemony, focusing on the relationship between the formal democratic structure of the state and the unofficial practices of the underlying political culture, and addressing the question of what purpose campaigns serve when the outcome is predetermined. Discussing Mexican presidential politics from the perspectives of anthropology, political science, and communications science, the authors analyze the 1988 presidential campaign of Carlos Salinas de GortariÑthe last great campaign of the PRI to display the characteristics traditionally found in the twentieth century. These detailed descriptions of campaign events show that their ritualistic nature expressed both a national culture and an aura of domination. The authors describe the political and cultural context in which this campaign took placeÑan authoritarian presidential system that dated from the 1920sÑand explain how the constitutional provisions of the state interacted with the informal practices of the party to produce highly scripted symbolic rituals. Their analysis probes such topics as the meanings behind the candidate's behavior, the effects of public opinion polling, and the role of the press, then goes on to show how the system has begun to change since 2000. By dealing with the campaign from multiple perspectives, the authors reveal it as a rite of passage that sheds light on the political culture of the country. Their study expands our understanding of authoritarianism during the years of PRI dominance and facilitates comparison of current practices with those of the past.
