  “Covering styles from Texas to Memphis, the Deep South, Kansas City, Oklahoma, and beyond, this book is your go-to for barbecue of all stripes.” —Taste of the South, “Best Barbecue Books for Dad” Only Ardie A. Davis and Paul Kirk, the renowned sources on barbecue, can earn the trust and the recipes from the nation’s barbecue legends—from the tried-and-true locales to even a few joints outside of the traditional barbecue belt. Tasty sides include tips, tricks, techniques, fun memorabilia, 365 full-color photos of the joints and their food, and firsthand recollections of tales from the pits culled from over a century of combined barbecue experience. There is even a section of barbecue basics for those who are just getting started. With more than 100 recipes for mouthwatering starters (Fried Cheese Stick Grits, BBQ Egg Rolls), moist and flavorful meats, both classic and inventive side dishes (BBQ Cornbread, Grilled Potato Salad), a slew of sauces and rubs, and even some decadent desserts (Fried Pies, Root Beer Cake, Pig Candy), this book should come with its own wet-nap.“As much a cookbook as it is a travel guide for the country’s best rib joints, smokehouses and barbecue shacks. Davis and Kirk are the deans of American barbecue; this is their classroom textbook.” —The Columbus Dispatch“[Takes] readers on a journey across the country to try a variety of American barbecue dishes . . . this version includes a few more Texas joints, and the personal Top ten lists of each author shows how much quality time they spent in the Lone Star State.” —Texas Monthly

  This work has grown out of the desire frequently expressed to the writer when he has been lecturing on the American Revolution, that in some way the experiences of the people as well as the deeds of the armies in that trying period might be presented to the present generation. The author has given to the public this narrative, in which the course of the armies in the various campaigns is followed and, at the same time, many of the forgotten or ignored experiences and deeds of the common people are also incorporated.

  Shanghai - Life Love and...

  Shanghai is the most modern and dynamic city in China. In preparation for hosting the World Expo 2010, a World's Fair in the grand tradition of international fairs and expositions, the megalopolis embarked on an overhaul to transform itself from the "Pearl of the Orient" into the "City of the Future." Here, the world's tallest buildings soar, the planet's longest bridges span toxic waterways, and the fastest train on earth rockets the city from its storied past toward a future that seems, by turns, either as bright or as hideous as the lights that set the hazy sky aglow each night. At a time when interest in China has seen a sharp increase that shows no signs of abating, Shanghai places China's development and its effects on the world into context by explaining how the country arrived where it is today and why it is building massive infrastructure projects with tremendous social and environmental impact. Shanghai provides an intimate look inside a mega-city heaving with change and offers essential insight into the challenges of remaining human in an increasingly urbanized world.

  From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, spa, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did.My new series of mini-guides, although part of a much longer journey, are specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure – without getting bogged down with too many choices or details. Although there are three places to stay in this guide, I had to include them all as each stay was a trip of a lifetime.Johannesburg is a challenging place to visit; you need to be wise when choosing where to stay, where to go and how to travel. In this book I hope I have given anyone the resources to go there safely. (And do check out the sister guide to Durban if you want to have a longer trip in South Africa.)"You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”"I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving."“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”"To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!" Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"
