Paperback. Condizione: Good. Winner of the 2010 New Mexico Book Award for Best CookbookSince he first travelled to New Mexico in the 1960s, Clyde Casey has been in love with New Mexican cuisine and has explored its evolution from Puebloan roots, to influences brought by the Spanish in the early 1500s, to what is today a unique blend of Native American, Spanish, French, cowboy chuck wagon, Mexican, and Mediterranean influences. A companion to Casey?s Red or Green cookbook, New Mexico Cuisine reflects the diversity of these culinary origins, offering a wide range of New Mexican recipes. Casey includes dozens of quick recipes designed for the convenience of the modern cook as well as traditional recipes that require more time and patience for those looking for a bit of challenge. Along with the recipes, Casey includes engaging notes on one of the most unique histories and cultures in the United States.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. ?Ford?s overlap of past and present, narrative and commentary is masterful, and makes this volume all the more valuable to those readers wise enough to allow the past to inform the future. Of Blood and Sweat is a myth-busting work of genius that will stand as the last word on this vital subject for a long time to come.??Elizabeth Dowling Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of A Slave in the White House and The Original Black EliteIn this, provocative, timely, and painstakingly researched book, the award-winning author of Think Black tells the story of how Black labor helped to create and sustain the wealth of the white one percent throughout American history.Clyde W. Ford uses the lives of individual Black men and women as a lens to explore the role they have played in creating American institutions of power and wealth?in agriculture, politics, jurisprudence, law enforcement, culture, medicine, financial services, and many other fields?while not being allowed to fully participate or share in the rewards. Today, activists have taken the struggle for racial equity and justice to the streets. Of Blood and Sweat goes back through time to excavate the roots of this struggle, from pre-colonial Africa through post-Civil War America. As Ford reveals, in tracing the history of almost any major American institution of power and wealth you?ll find it was created by Black Americans, or created to control them.Painstakingly researched and documented, Of Blood and Sweat is a compelling look at the past that holds broad implications for present-day calls for racial equity, racial justice, and the abolishment of systemic racism, and offers invaluable insight into our understanding of Black history and the story of America.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. ?Powerful memoir. . .Ford?s thought-provoking narrative tells the story of African-American pride and perseverance.? ?Publisher?s Weekly (Starred)?A masterful storyteller, Ford interweaves his personal story with the backdrop of the social movements unfolding at that time, providing a revealing insider?s view of the tech industry. . . simultaneously informative and entertaining. . . A powerful, engrossing look at race and technology.??Kirkus Review (Starred)In this thought-provoking and heartbreaking memoir, an award-winning writer tells the story of his father, John Stanley Ford, the first black software engineer at IBM, revealing how racism insidiously affected his father?s view of himself and their relationship.In 1947, Thomas J. Watson set out to find the best and brightest minds for IBM. At City College he met young accounting student John Stanley Ford and hired him to become IBM?s first black software engineer. But not all of the company?s white employees refused to accept a black colleague and did everything in their power to humiliate, subvert, and undermine Ford.Yet Ford would not quit. Viewing the job as the opportunity of a lifetime, he comported himself with dignity and professionalism, and relied on his community and his "street smarts" to succeed. He did not know that his hiring was meant to distract from IBM?s dubious business practices, including its involvement in the Holocaust, eugenics, and apartheid.While Ford remained at IBM, it came at great emotional cost to himself and his family, especially his son Clyde. Overlooked for promotions he deserved, the embittered Ford began blaming his fate on his skin color and the notion that darker-skinned people like him were less intelligent and less capable?beliefs that painfully divided him and Clyde, who followed him to IBM two decades later.From his first day of work?with his wide-lapelled suit, bright red turtleneck, and huge afro?Clyde made clear he was different. Only IBM hadn?t changed. As he, too, experienced the same institutional racism, Clyde began to better understand the subtle yet daring ways his father had fought back.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. In 1968 a Soviet G-class submarine mysteriously exploded and sank to the bottom of the Pacific. With Cold War secrecy and speed, U.S. military intelligence raced to find a way to raise the sub. In the new preface to this edition of The Jennifer Project, which was first published in 1977, author Clyde Burleson discusses some of the sources he could not reveal twenty years ago and provides an interesting swords-to-plowshares update.In one of the more remarkable episodes of high-tech espionage and engineering of the Cold War, the effort to raise the Soviet sub, code-named the "Jennifer Project," assembled a cast of players that included top military brass, the CIA, and the eccentric millionaire and inventor Howard Hughes.The Project was a monumental effort to create a tool that could reach three miles below the ocean's surface and pull the sub from primordial muck?in secret. Financed and built by Hughes and Global Marine under contract with the CIA, the ship created to pluck the sub from the ooze was a technological marvel. Two football fields in length and twenty-three stories high, the Hughes Glomar Explorer held in its hull a six-million-pound submersible "claw" for picking up sections of the submarine.The project cost the U.S. government hundreds of millions of dollars, but the intelligence community was betting that, if successful, reclamation of the Soviet submarine would mean accessing invaluable military knowledge as the two superpowers neared negotiations in the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty talks. The Jennifer Project revisits a fascinating period of high-level intrigue and invention that has remained unknown to many Americans.…
