Summary of Tom Clavin’s...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Tom Clavin’s Lightning Down 
  
A lot has been written about World War II: the triumphs, the tribulations, and the horrors. Tom Clavin’s Lightning Down (2021) includes all three, as he covers the incredible story of Joseph “Joe” Moser, an American pilot who survived his stay at the Buchenwald concentration camp. 
Buchenwald is one of the most infamous German concentration camps, not for its sheer size, but the absolutely horrifying conditions its occupants had to endure. Joe was one of 170 Allied airmen who were illegally sent there. Only through sheer acts of will and unity were many of those men spared the camp’s most common fate of death. 
Even after he made it out of Buchenwald, Joe’s story was initially not believed, with many thinking he was over-exaggerating the horrors he experienced and witnessed. Of course, that is not the case, and Clavin spares no detail in retelling it.

Glorious Beef - The LaFrieda...

Pat LaFrieda, Cecilia Molinari

An insightful and engaging insider’s look at the real story of the meat industry, from master butcher Pat LaFrieda.
It all began when Pat LaFrieda’s great-grandfather Anthony LaFrieda decided to pack up and move his family from Italy to New York in search of a better life, setting up the family’s first retail butcher shop in 1922 in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Almost one hundred years later, Pat LaFrieda, a fourth-generation butcher and third-generation meat purveyor, is at the helm of a family-run business that has been providing meat to customers for decades, through wars, the Great Depression, the tumultuous years when New York City was dubbed “Fear City,” the fall of the Twin Towers, unprecedented hurricanes, and even a pandemic.
Most people don’t know the amount of time, commitment, and extenuating work that goes into bringing them the piece of meat on their plate. What are the real implications of grass-fed beef on climate change? What is involved in humanely processing animals at harvesting facilities? Why is grading, labeling, and traceability essential for the consumer? And what’s the beef with eating meat?
There are two sides to every story; however, in the beef industry’s case, only one side seems to get most of the airtime. In Glorious Beef, LaFrieda shares his family's legacy and pulls back the curtain to reveal a behind-the-scenes view of each stage of the process involved in bringing beef from pasture to plate and the truths behind the industry’s story of survival and constant evolution.
