Summary

"Weird Driving" takes readers on a fascinating journey through the world's most unusual traffic laws and driving customs. This unique travel reference explores the quirky, often humorous, and sometimes baffling regulations that govern our roads across the globe. From the prohibition of driving blindfolded in Alabama to the ban on eating while driving in Cyprus, the book uncovers a wealth of strange vehicular traditions that reflect the diverse cultural, historical, and environmental factors shaping our driving experiences.   
The book is structured into four main sections, progressing from an introduction to weird driving laws and customs to specific examples grouped by themes, followed by an analysis of the reasons behind these rules, and concluding with their implications for international travelers. By examining the evolution of driving laws since the advent of automobiles, "Weird Driving" argues that traffic regulations are not merely practical safety measures but windows into the unique values and beliefs of different societies. This perspective encourages readers to view driving as a cultural phenomenon, offering insights into the complex interplay between law, culture, and technology on our roads.   
What sets this book apart is its blend of serious analysis and entertaining anecdotes, making it an invaluable resource for travel enthusiasts, legal professionals, and cultural studies scholars alike. With its accessible language and engaging style, "Weird Driving" challenges readers to think critically about the rules they follow on the road, providing a newfound appreciation for the complexities and curiosities of global driving practices.

This groundbreaking book provides a culinary exploration of Scripture. You'll descend 400 feet below ground into the frosty white caverns of a salt mine, fish on the Sea of Galilee, bake fresh matzo at Yale University, ferry to a remote island in Croatia to harvest olives, spend time with a Texas butcher known as "the meat apostle," and wander a California farm with one of the world's premier fig farmers. With each stop, Margaret asks, "How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?" 
Taste and See teaches us that:As we break bread, we find the satisfaction of our deepest hungers in the community our souls craveAs we share our lives, we taste and see God's fruitfulnessWhen we're tempted to lose heart--and we all will be--we find courage in listening to and participating in stories of God's rescuing waysIn the midst of a busy life, we can all create space to taste and see God's goodness 
  
Taste and See is a delicious read that includes dozens of recipes for those who, like Margaret, believe some of life's richest moments are spent savoring a meal with those you love. See you around the table!
