Type : epub |
Size : 10.98 MB |
English |
Descirption: Most of us buy the same ingredients week in, week out, and cook the same old recipes. Cookery writer Claire Thomson wants to encourage people to ditch the boring chicken stir-fry, the all-too-predictable spag bol and dreary fish pie, and enliven their cooking and eating. Claire takes our 10 favourite supermarket ingredients and reinvents them as modern classics. With sections on chicken, tomatoes, eggs, cheese, minced meat, pasta, potatoes, salad, lemon and chocolate, each chapter covers the basics about that ingredient, then offers recipes using each in ways that will brighten up mealtimes. Claire's cooking is simple yet imaginative, and her kitchen expertise and knowledge of flavour combinations mean that these dishes will become your new standby meals. This is the new essential cookbook, a modern solution to the eternal question: "What shall I cook tonight?"

Bracing for Impact by Robin Suerig Holleran, Lindy Philip
Type : epub |
Size : 6.4 MB |
English |
Descirption: "Provides real world insight to those that have experienced the life-threatening event of an airplane crash" (Les Abend, Boeing 777 captain and CNN Aviation Analyst).
Being strapped in the seat of a plane as it plunges into a nosedive midair is everyone's worst nightmare. The two women who compiled Bracing for Impact know. They have both lived out that fear and survived, albeit badly hurt, in their own plane crashes.
In this collection of true-life survivor tales, people from all walks of life-a freelance writer, a crew member of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band, a naval flight surgeon, a teenager, and a newlywed on her honeymoon, among others-recount their traumatic narrow escapes as engines stalled, fuel ran out, hazardous weather conditions descended, and landings did not go according to plan. In the face of death, as life flashed before their eyes-or not, as some wryly note-these survivors encountered the terrific split of before and after the crash. Their lives, though preserved, would change forever.
In heart-wrenching, unrelenting honesty, these stories explore the wide spectrum of impacts on survivors-ranging from debilitating fear, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse, to a renewed sense of urgency, where survivors swear to live each day to the fullest and rededicate their lives to helping others. Bracing for Impact is as much a horrific account of air disasters as it is a celebration and recognition of the people who survived them.
"I found the survivor's perspective fascinating . . . The book is valuable reading for both pilots and passengers." - Flying **
Review
A great review from Readers' Favorite!
Reviewed by author Barbara Fanson readersfavorite.com/book-review/bracing-for-impact
"A tsunami of nausea from the painkillers washed over me," is just one example of the riveting descriptions in Bracing for Impact: True Tales of Air Disasters and the People Who Survived Them. It's an interesting book of stories told by survivors of air disasters. Some plane crashes were small two-seater airplanes while others were large commercial airlines. I remember the music and airplane crash of Lynyrd Skynyrd so it was interesting to revisit the event. I didn't know exactly what happened but remembered the rumors swirling around afterward. Readers will appreciate knowing what happened to the survivors years later. It's a fascinating book of incredible stories that readers may remember reading in nepapers or seeing on television.
Each story is interesting, thought-provoking, and written from a different point of view. Some people were severely injured; others suffered mentally for years after the impact. At the end of each story, there is usually a box with a final analysis of the cause of the plane crash or the outcome. They are appreciated and informational. I think readers will benefit from the chapter called Tips For Surviving a Plane Crash. Although there is no magic formula for choosing the best seat on an airplane, Bracing For Impact provides a list of suggestions to improve your chances of survival if the plane is going down. Bracing For Impact is an interesting collection of short stories. Authors Robin Suerig Holleran and Lindy Philip do an excellent job of choosing a variety of stories and editing them. Happy to report I'm not afraid to fly after reading this book.
From the Author
The last year has been an interesting journey.
More or less on a whim, Lindy and I decided to put together a collection of stories about fellow plane crash survivors we'd met through Facebook -- not just about the crash, but about how such an experience impacted their lives afterward. I'd started down this path a few years earlier, but had a major health event and had to put the project on hold. Then, last summer, Lindy insisted that the time was right...and she was right
At first, we thought we'd self-publish and distribute the book just to our Facebook group (which now numbers over 80 people). But before doing so, we put together a formal proposal and sent it out to about 15 publishers. Remarkably, five publishers expressed an interest -- and one of them sent a contract. We were stunned!
The next few months were a whirlwind. We only had a few months to finish the intervie, write and fact check the 200 pages that ultimately became Bracing for Impact: True Tales of Air Disasters and the People Who Survived Them. At times, it felt like we were sprinting down a platform as our train was leaving the station, trying to make sure we could jump on before it left.
The book is schedule to come out in less than two months - in October 2015. We've been busy proofing, collecting photographs and other such things. It is an exciting time for use and we are grateful to everyone who took the time and courage to share their stories with us. Reliving a trauma such as a plane crash is not easy for most people (ourselves included) but perhaps the book will give others insight into what can happen during the aftermath of a crash so that they can be more understanding and empathetic to those who have had a major life trauma -- whether it's a plane crash, experience combat, battling a debilitating disease, or loss of a loved one.
Robin Holleran and Lindy Philip

When Plants Dream Ayahuasca, Amazonian Shamanism by Daniel Pinchbeck, Sophia Rokhlin
Type : epub |
Size : 656.15 KB |
English |
Descirption: Ayahuasca is a powerful tool for transformation, that more and more Westerners are flocking to drink in a quest for greater self-knowledge and a reconnection with nature. This formerly esoteric, little-known 'brew' is now a growth industry. But why?
Ayahuasca is a sacred hallucinogenic tea that has a long history of ritual use among indigenous groups of the Upper Amazon. Made from the stem of the Ayahuasca vine and the leaves of a shrub, Ayahuasca is traditionally associated with healing in collective ceremonies and in more intimate contexts, generally under the direction of specialist-Ayahuasqueros. These are experienced Shamans who guide the ceremony and the 'drinkers' experience.
Ayahuasca has gained significant popularity these days in cities around the world. Ceremonies happen nightly and Hollywood stars, Wall Street players and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs now drink the brew. Why? What effect might Ayahuasca be having on our culture? Could it be the LSD...

The Shape of Family by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

Descirption: A deeply moving story of a multi-cultural family in California: Indian mother Jaya, American father Keith, daughter Karina and son Prem. When the family is struck by tragedy, it tears the family apart, creating rifts and catapulting each off on their own journey.
Thirteen-year-old Karina is left to her own devices. Blaming herself and desperate to escape the despair that hangs like a black cloud over her childhood home, she seeks her own ways to cope until she leaves for college. But on campus, instead of liberation, she finds only loneliness and must grapple with painful experiences that send her to the edge of a breakdown. In her desperation, she joins a community garden where she seeks comfort and friendship amongst a group of young people with utopian ideals, led by the charismatic Micah. Fragile and alone, Karina is drawn to him and to the group's philosophy of living off the land. They invite her to live with them at their house called The Sanctuary and it seems...

In boxing terms, a tough-looking fighter who can't take a punch is said to have a "glass jaw," and so it is these days with targets of controversy.
