  All the Agents and Saints -...

  After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home—only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence.  
  Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an eighteen-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation’s foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way. The frequency of these tragedies seemed like a terrible coincidence, before Elizondo Griest moved to the New York–Canada borderlands.  
  Once she began to meet Mohawks from the Akwesasne Nation, however, she recognized striking parallels to life on the southern border. Having lost their land through devious treaties, their mother tongues at English-only schools, and their traditional occupations through capitalist ventures, Tejanos and Mohawks alike struggle under the legacy of colonialism. Toxic industries surround their neighborhoods while the US Border Patrol militarizes them. Combating these forces are legions of artists and activists devoted to preserving their indigenous cultures. Complex belief systems, meanwhile, conjure miracles. In All the Agents and Saints, Elizondo Griest weaves seven years of stories into a meditation on the existential impact of international borderlines by illuminating the spaces in between and the people who live there.

  “A love letter to the history, traditions and culinaria of one of the richest and most complex regions of Italy.” —Stanley Tucci In other places, it might seem trite or cliché to say that love is an essential component of cooking, food, and dining. But in the shadow of a still-fuming Vesuvio, the love of everyday life is palpable in Naples: that passion for life is the spirit that guides Neapolitan cuisine. You can taste it in everything.    In this tantalizing tour of the culture and cuisine of Napoli, Marlena Spieler reveals the tastes, sights, and sounds of the city and surrounding area (including its islands) in gorgeous detail. Using her own experiences and conversations with others, both tourists and residents alike, she offers us the rich history of this unique culture and cuisine.    “Part travel guide, part cook's memoir, this charming little book delivers a true taste of a quirky, elusive city.” —Barbara Fairchild, former editor-in-chief of Bon Appetit   “This book ought to come with bread, to sop up the extra goodness sloshing over the sides.” —Clark Wolf, author of American Cheeses, restaurant consultant, food writer   “Traipsing through the foodways of Naples with the legendary Marlena Spieler is pure joy.” —Tia Keenan, author of  The Art of the Cheese Plate and cheese columnist for The Wall Street Journal   “Marvelous to read and a joy to cook from.” —Julia della Croce, Italian food expert and James Beard award winning author of Italian Home Cooking   “[Spieler’s] enthusiasm and knowledge will likely inspire travelers to Italy to add a stop on their trip.” ―Publishers Weekly

  'Original and beautifully written' GUARDIAN
  
  
  Gillian Darley takes us on a vivid, personal tour, from the seaside piers to the empty marshes and the New Town tower blocks, revealing a landscape and a story like no other.
  
  
  Alongside Essex Man and TOWIE, there's the Essex that nurtured the first Puritan settlers in America, that welcomed refugees from Europe, fugitives from the underworld and bombed-out EastEnders. Where dreamers and makers, punk poets, anarchist sects and inventors all found inspiration.
  
  
  A Colchester nurseryman was the first to trade with a secretive Eastern Kingdom. Braintree's only earthquake inspired an innovative building system. In Epping, a spat over firewood led to an historic victory for the common people. In Essex, the clash between city and countryside, capital and province, created a shower of sparks that ultimately set the world on fire.
  
  
  Drawing on everything from early maps to reality TV, Excellent Essex is no guide book, but a wonderful guide to England's most misunderstood county.
