  “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

  Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
   
   
   
  In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
   
   
   
  Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

  Isabella’s life shatters the night she’s taken. Not for ransom, not for revenge, but as a twisted offering to a man who dwells in shadows. Dante Moretti, a figure whispered about in hushed tones, now holds her captive in his secluded estate. He claims she is his, bound to him by a debt she doesn't understand.
  
  As days bleed into weeks, Isabella finds herself drawn into Dante’s dangerous world. His touch is a brand, his gaze a cage, and his possessive nature ignites a forbidden desire she can't deny. But Dante is not merely a captor; he's a man battling his own demons, haunted by a past that threatens to consume them both. Isabella becomes his obsession, his solace, and perhaps, his undoing.
  
  Trapped between fear and fascination, Isabella must navigate the treacherous currents of Dante’s affections. Every stolen kiss, every whispered promise, tightens the chains that bind them. But as the line between captor and captive blurs, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself, about Dante, and about the darkness that lurks beneath the surface.
  
  Will Isabella succumb to the allure of her captor, or will she find a way to break free from the gilded cage he has built around her heart? And what will happen when the secrets that bind them together are finally revealed?
  
  Perfect for fans of Penelope Douglas and Ana Huang, *Venom and Vows* is a dark and steamy captive romance that explores the intoxicating power of obsession and the dangerous allure of forbidden love.

  Cars And Auto Accessories - The...

  There are many types of cars, or automobiles, as some people like to call them. There are the ‘family’ types that facilitate our daily lives, and get us to work and the shops; then there are the work-horses, the vans, lorries and trucks, named after the animals that they replaced; and the dream cars... the Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Rolls-Royces and the like. However, a new class has arrived too – the hybrid  
  The conception of modern hybrid vehicles with their twin engines received a rather dubious first hearing by the automotive industry and the public. The cost was incredible, and the weight of two engines in one vehicle sounded unfeasible. We all know how that has turned out, but do you know how long mankind has actually been using hybrids? 
  It will probably surprise you to learn that hybrid vehicles were among the very first cars produced in the Nineteenth Century. However, they were not powerful, and mighty oil was looking for a niche. Oil, in the forms of petrol and diesel eventually shoved hybrids aside, and set the path for the automotive industry for 150 years. 
  As for auto accessories, it is in mankind’s nature to customise anywhere he spends a lot of time, such as the home, the workplace and, yes, even the car. We hang things from the rear view mirror, put items on the rear windscreen shelf, and add our favourite accessories to the dashboard. It has ever been thus. 
  I hope that you will find the information in this booklet helpful, useful and even profitable. It is relevant to the topics just mentioned, and organised into eighteen chapters of about five to six hundred words each. 
  I am certain that it will interest people who love cars and technology, and auto accessories. 
  As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although you should rewrite them in your own words first.
