  Good Grief: Embracing life at a...

  ‘The most life-affirming book ever written about death.’ Sandi Toksvig‘One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief that you will ever read.’ Anita Anand 
  ‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’ 
  Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them. 
  In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently. 
  In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love—for John and Andy and each other. 
  ‘We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room. 
  ‘In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can’t touch, each other and the lovely dead.’ 
  Catherine Mayer's Good Grief is a top-rated autobiography that explores the psychology of grief and bereavement. It is a profound exploration of relationships, marriage, and family, providing a long-term perspective on dealing with loss. 
  For fans of Angela Levin (Harry), Robert Jobson (Diana), Rachel Clarke (Your Life In My Hands), Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), and Donna Ashworth (Loss).

  Do Not Comply - Taking Power...

  From bestselling author Will Witt, this thought-provoking exposé shows readers how to break free from the control of America’s corrupt ruling class.    The America you grew up in is no longer here. Our country is in sharp decline. Yet we often fail to truly call out the culprits responsible for it. Who are the corrupters of our great country? They are politicians (both Democrat and Republican), they are businessmen, they are celebrities, they are media executives, they are scientists. They are the elite. And they are selfish.    In Do Not Comply, one of America’s most articulate and fastest rising political commentators on the right exposes the elite’s many lies holding America hostage. Witt persuasively explains how a corrupt ruling class has pitted us against each other in the name of “the greater good” and “building back better.” But the changes and programs they institute have only hurt us in the long run and have sent us spiraling to serfdom while the elites reap all the benefits.    Without fear or favor, the independent-minded Witt deconstructs the misguided policies and adventures of America’s political, pharmaceutical, tech, media, and financial institution elite – with surprising takeaways. Through systematically looking at the biggest issues used to divide us today, Witt answers these crucial questions about the future of America: How do the elite achieve their power? How do we fix the vexing problems in our society caused by this greed and selfishness? And how do we take our power back?    From one of America’s brightest young minds, this book is a must-read for citizens seeking the truth about who really controls the levers of power in our country. As we watch America descend toward moral and economic destruction, it’s tempting to believe we have no power to enact change. But we always have a choice—and it’s not too late. Do Not Comply is the first step towards righting the ship.

  Farewell Address Republican...

  Ronald Reagan

  On August 15, 1988, in the Louisiana Superdome, Reagan delivered a message for economic freedom. We transformed our government from one that was consuming our prosperity into one that would get out of the way of those who create prosperity.  
  Reagan notes the “inflated rhetoric of our friends in Atlanta last month. But then, inflation is their specialty.” As John Adams said, “Facts are stubborn things.”  
  When we came to Washington, we suffered the worst back-to-back years of inflation in 60 years, interest rates over 21 percent, declining productivity, weekly wages, and family income, the highest tax bill in history, and a 21 percent misery index. 
  The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Iran stormed our embassy and took Americans hostage. The world questioned our resolve. 
  We responded by cutting taxes and creating over 17 million jobs. Inflation is below 4 percent and interest rates cut in half. “I noticed they don’t call it Reaganomics anymore.”  
  We rebuilt our armed forces, and liberated Grenada. During our administration “not 1 inch of ground has fallen to the Communists.” We're working on the Strategic Defense Initiative to protect ourselves and our allies against nuclear terror. 
  Liberal elites resisted our defense buildup, our tax cuts, cutting fat out of government, and appointing judges committed to the Constitution. I’ve supported a balanced budget amendment and line-item veto, and every year the liberals said no.  
  We need Republican majorities in both houses. America needs George Bush. “Go out there and win one for the Gipper.” 
  God put this land between two great oceans to be found by people with a love of freedom, freedom of association, of worship, of hope and opportunity. Here, it’s sunrise every day with new opportunities and dreams to build.

  The Lost Southern Chefs - A...

  Robert F. Moss

  In recent years, food writers and historians have begun to retell the story of southern food. Heirloom ingredients and traditional recipes have been rediscovered, the foundational role that African Americans played in the evolution of southern cuisine is coming to be recognized, and writers are finally clearing away the cobwebs of romantic myth that have long distorted the picture. The story of southern dining, however, remains incomplete. 
   
   
   
  The Lost Southern Chefs begins to fill that niche by charting the evolution of commercial dining in the nineteenth-century South. Robert F. Moss punctures long-accepted notions that dining outside the home was universally poor, arguing that what we would today call "fine dining" flourished throughout the region as its towns and cities grew. 
   
   
   
  Most important, Moss tells the forgotten stories of the people who drove this culinary revolution. These men and women fully embodied the title "chef," directing large staffs, staging elaborate events for hundreds of guests, and establishing supply chains for the very best ingredients from across the expanding nation. These chefs and entrepreneurs became embroiled in the pitched political battles of Reconstruction and Jim Crow, and then their names were all but erased from history.
