Sinopse

The plot is a preposterous ironic romp through contemporary America that will be appreciated by any reader who enjoys humorous adventures in a fantasy setting. The hero, whose name we never quite learn, has a mostly happy relationship with his live-in girlfriend, a 500 lb. gorilla named Tanga. One day, the nameless hero comes home to discover she is missing, and thus begins his search of odd twists and contorted turns to find her. He and his loyal friend Bert, who won the big prize in the lottery but stays at his hum-drum job because, well, he is loyal, set out in the metropolis to uncover answers. During their quest, they come across an assortment of unusual but dangerous characters, though all are not without a sense of humor: the vigilante football players; the religious cult craving human sacrifice; unscrupulous politicians whose sadism knows no bounds; and mutated mercenary soldiers seeking revenge on society. 
Through their trials, both characters mature, having found romantic interests in the vulnerable Michelle, a victim of tragic love lost, and Phaedra, a young wild girl who was farmed out by her mother to the care of an irresponsible Metal Band at an early age. Retro-grade literary passages, stories within the story, word-play riddles, spiritual and philosophical tales, beat poetic moments, rock n' roll excursions, Rap interludes, and fanciful literary forms all fill the pages aimed at the reader's delight in words splayed on the page.

The Siamese - History of the...

Kelly Mass

Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
The most current and right clarification concerning the Tai people's beginnings claims that Guangxi, instead of Yunnan, is the Tai motherland. Today, Guangxi is home to a big population of Tai people referred to as the Zhuang. According to the Khun Borom folklore, Tai people who were not affected by the Chinese settled in what's now Biên Ph in modern Vietnam around 700 AD. Pittayawat Pittayaporn (2014) assumed that this movement occurred at the time of the 8th and 10th centuries, based upon layers of Chinese loanwords in proto-Southwestern Tai and other historic information. Chinese growth and mistreatment could have triggered Tai-speaking tribe to travel southwestward down rivers and over lower enters Southeast Asia. 
Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.

His exploration covers everything from wooden barrels used to age scotch in Austria to the wood-burning pizza ovens of Naples to Canadian maple syrup producers—as well as cheese, tea, wine, blue yogurt, and more.  
 
Brimming with fascinating characters, unexpected turns, beautiful landscapes, scientific discoveries, and historic connections, The Flavor of Wood is the story of a passionate flavor hunter, and offers readers unparalleled access to some of the  world’s highest quality cuisine and unknown tree flavors.
