Hardback. Condizione: Good. Food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith recounts--in delicious detail--the creation of contemporary American cuisine. The diet of the modern American wasn't always as corporate, conglomerated, and corn-rich as it is today, and the style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose it, has never been fixed. With a cast of characters including bold inventors, savvy restaurateurs, ruthless advertisers, mad scientists, adventurous entrepreneurs, celebrity chefs, and relentless health nuts, Smith pins down the truly crackerjack history behind the way America eats. Smith's story opens with early America, an agriculturally independent nation where most citizens grew and consumed their own food. Over the next two hundred years, however, Americans would cultivate an entirely different approach to crops and consumption. Advances in food processing, transportation, regulation, nutrition, and science introduced highly complex and mechanized methods of production. The proliferation of cookbooks, cooking shows, and professionally designed kitchens made meals more commercially, politically, and culturally potent. To better understand these trends, Smith delves deeply and humorously into their creation. Ultimately he shows how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Drawing from the biblical picture of the church as the bride of Christ, F. LaGard Smith presents baptism as the believer's wedding ceremony with Christ. The result is a sublime view of baptism far surpassing traditional notions of dutiful obedience and magic-like ideas of baptismal regeneration. Through the wedding analogy, baptism is elevated to a personal proclamation of love and loyalty through which true spiritual conversion is given meaning and vitality. Baptism: The Believer's Wedding Ceremony is the most compelling book on the subject of baptism in recent years. More important, its sobering message about the crying need for personal faith and commitment provides the key for re-establishing a vibrant church in our time.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A book that should be read . . . Smith brings an alchemic talent to describing physical labor. --The New York Times Book Review Remarkable . . . this is the book that Hillbilly Elegy should have been. --Kirkus Reviews A vivid window into the world of working class men set during the Bakken fracking boom in North Dakota Like thousands of restless men left unmoored in the wake of the 2008 economic crash, Michael Patrick Smith arrived in the fracking boomtown of Williston, North Dakota five years later homeless, unemployed, and desperate for a job. Renting a mattress on a dirty flophouse floor, he slept boot to beard with migrant men who came from all across America and as far away as Jamaica, Africa and the Philippines. They ate together, drank together, argued like crows and searched for jobs they couldn't get back home. Smith's goal was to find the hardest work he could do--to find out if he could do it. He hired on in the oil patch where he toiled fourteen hour shifts from summer's 100 degree dog days to deep into winter's bracing whiteouts, all the while wrestling with the demons of a turbulent past, his broken relationships with women, and the haunted memories of a family riven by violence. The Good Hand is a saga of fear, danger, exhaustion, suffering, loneliness, and grit that explores the struggles of America's marginalized boomtown workers--the rough-hewn, castoff, seemingly disposable men who do an indispensable job that few would exalt: oil field hands who, in the age of climate change, put the gas in our tanks and the food in our homes. Smith, who had pursued theater and played guitar in New York, observes this world with a critical eye; yet he comes to love his coworkers, forming close bonds with Huck, a goofy giant of a young man whose lead foot and quick fists get him into trouble with the law, and The Wildebeest, a foul-mouthed, dip-spitting truck driver who torments him but also trains him up, and helps Smith make a hand. The Good Hand is ultimately a book about transformation--a classic American story of one man's attempt to burn himself clean through hard work, to reconcile himself to himself, to find community, and to become whole.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Questions about the Afterlife? You Must Read This A successful young family man seemed to have it all; a beautiful home, a Rockwellian family, new cars, boats, airplanes and European vacations. His only creed was, He who dies with the most toys, wins.Then, just when life seemed perfect . . . a Stanford medical diagnosed him with just 5 months to live, and his whole world came crashing down.As the young family struggled to comprehend what was happening, the 5 months stretched to 12. Being agnostic, he did't believe any after death stories, expecting only oblivion, on death.However, as his wife pondered what would happen to her family, she wanted to do more to fight his dying. But, they had had the best doctors money could buy. So, short of visiting a South American witch doctor, what were they to do?However, as death approached, his pain grew worse and death became more and more attractive. But, to his wife and daughters, this growing acceptance of dying, seemed like abandonment.Then, in the darkness of one early morning, when death finally did come, he found he had been wrong about the oblivion. Instead, he suddenly was falling through space . . . and his afterlife experiences had begun. Here is his first afterlife story as excerpted from, Dying to Really Live: There to greet me was my grandfather, Amos, along with my favorite boyhood dog, Butch, his tail wagging in greeting. And there was my other granddad, with his wry, bemused smile, all central characters in my Rockwellian childhood. There too, was an old rancher who lived across the river from where I grew up, who had always hired me when I needed money, even if he really didn't need any help. Also, there were others; entities I had known and loved in other times and other places, some from this earthly world, some from beyond death; still others from Celestial Realms outside this material Universe. However, all were beloved members of an ancient Soul Group with which I had been reincarnating, over and over, through the endless eons.Before he was returned to his life from beyond death, he was told that to accomplish what he was being sent back to do, he would be need to be taught the use of Inner Guidance. When he got back, he was told to watch for any inner urges or quiet voices within. If deciphered, they would lead him to a small, white book, his handbook about Inner Guidance, and finding it would be his first test. At the time, he had no idea what any of that meant, and when he got back, he still didn't know what to do.Several months after his return, seemingly quite by accident, he just happened to be in a neighboring town, when a small white book found its way into his hands, in a most unusual manner. That evening as he glanced through it, he knew the next step in his education in mysticism, was underway.One morning, a few weeks later, he awoke to find two Entities by his bed, waiting for him. Then, without a word spoken, and leaving his body behind, he was taken once again, beyond life. This time, they revealed something which brought all his earlier afterlife experiences and NDE stories together, in final preparation for what he had been sent back to do.Publishers Note: Here are some other topics found in this NDE Book of afterlife stories and experiences: How our After death experiences affect our future incarnations.Why NDE and afterlife stories and mysticism all are indicators of a global awakening.Why NDE survivors rarely fear death, and how NDE and Afterlife stories on dying and death, help with the fear of what we all face.Buy this #1 Ranked Amazon NDE Book Now, at an Introductory Price.…
