People drink Coffee over night or more in the morning?
I do a small project for school. I want to know when you drink coffee?
Depends on the sleep cycle of the individual work schedule /. I used to work graveyard (11:00 p.m. to 7:00) as a Receiving a hotel, while not unusual to have a java 3am. But generally he drank more morning.

Hot Coffee (DVD) $45.26 Most people have heard the story of the woman who ordered a cup of coffee from McDonalds, spilled it on her lap, and sued the fast food chain for millions of dollars. The case is often used as an example of the abuse of the tort system in America, but not everyone knows the truth about the case. Stella Liebeck received third-degree burns that required skin grafts after she spilled the coffee on herself while seated in her parked car, and after racking up over $10,000 in hospital bills, McDonalds offered her a settlement of only $800. Liebeck took the matter to court, and it was the jury that found in her favor and bumped the settlement up to $2.9 million, though she asked for significantly less; a judge later reduced the penalty to $480,000. While the facts of the case seem reasonable, public relations firms working for McDonald`s spun the coverage in the company`s favor, and their version of the incident is the one best known to the public. Filmmaker Susan Saladoff examines how major corporations are using disinformation and lobbying power to make it harder for ordinary citizens to use the courts to settle grievances against businesses in the documentary HOT COFFEE, which uses this and three other cases as examples of how corporate power is corrupting America`s legal system. HOT COFFEE was an official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. |

100 Simple Secrets of Healthy People: What Scientists Have Learned and How You Can Use it $9.99 The Simple Science of a Healthy LifeFrom fitness to diets to emotional health and longevity, what do people who feel and look healthy do differently than those who are overtired, depressed, or out of shape? Every day we face an avalanche of studies and statistics that tell us what we should or shouldn’t eat, how long we need to exercise, or how to protect ourselves from secondhand smoke and the harmful rays from the sun. Not only are these studies often contradictory, but the actual scientific information is usually inaccessible.Moving beyond the myths and misinformation, the advice in these pages is not based on one person’s opinions or one expert’s study. For the first time the research available on the health of average Americans has been distilled into one hundred essential ways that we can become healthier and happier. Each of the core findings is accompanied by a real life example showing these results in action. Eat more often. Oxford University researchers found that people who ate five or six times a day had a 5 percent lower total cholesterol than average and were 45 percent more likely to be able to sustain their target weight than people who ate once or twice a day.Who says caffeine is bad for you? The majority of scientific evidence shows that, for a healthy adult, moderate quantities of caffeine (about three cups of coffee per day) pose no significant health risks.Home sweet home. People who described their home lives as satisfying were 24 percent more likely to live beyond normal life expectancy, according to a UCLA study. |

22k Goldplated ‘Forest Duet’ Natural Leaf Earrings (Thailand) $29.49 This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic. Product Features:Story Behind the Art: ‘My name is Danai Leosawathiphong. After going to college, my partner’s father suggested that we create something representative of the area where we live and we came up with the idea of covering natural products such as exotic flowers and plants with gold. I think our creations have a lot of potential. I do not think they will go out of fashion, because people generally love flowers. For the past 20 years or so, I have had good and bad times but I enjoyed it all. It is pretty much like black coffee–bitter, sweet and very nice.’ What is Worldstock?

A Busy Time In Mexico $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Then he cooled down, and gave me the history of the El Naranjo people. It appeared that their ranch was high up in the mountains and exactly on the Guatemalan frontier line; that they were smugglers of contraband, robbers, and stock thieves—in fact, they were outlaws. But owing to their being related to the local authorities they had always gone unpunished for their crimes. They had killed cheerfully, and being of pure Indian blood were sure of local support. Hemken implored me not to go, and said exactly what he thought concerning my manager. I felt rather thoughtful, and appreciated the manager’s kindness in sending me on the trip. His thoughtfulness in sparing my feelings by not warning me of the character of the trip touched me deeply—so deeply, in fact, that I cursed him heartily, and changed my shot-gun for a repeating carbine, and left for the job feeling slightly less cheerful than I had been. I had a good deal to think over, and I summed it up on the trail. For me to travel round with so much money on me would be clearly inadvisable. On the other hand, the owner of the money would be safe, and therefore he must bring it in person to the town. But I did not see my way to giving receipts, etc. No; only the boss could do that. The mountain trail was delightful. Tapachula lies practically at sea-level, and a two hours’ ride brought me into the foot-hills of the Sierras. Up to now the vegetation was purely tropical, but at about 1,000 feet above sea-level the palms and purelytropical plants gave place to the big forest trees; all round one were coffee plantations, or green clearings of cacao-trees. Far away underneath, the strip of coast country stretches from the foot-hills to meet the Pacific, breaking up into lagoon country, which is a deep emerald |

A History Of The People Of The United States $16.99 Had it not been for the bell-ringing and the firing there would have been little to indicate that a great change of government had taken place. Some new faces indeed were seen at the coffee-house, and some familiar ones were missed, for many members of the old Congress who had failed to secure seats in the new had already packed their portmanteaus and hastened home. But a sense of duty kept a few in their seats, and these continued to hold daily sessions…-from “The Constitution Becomes Law”A bestseller when it was first published in 1883, this first volume of historian John Bach McMaster’s magnum opus is a lively history of the United States that is as entertaining as it is informative. Eventually stretching to eight volumes, McMaster’s epic was original in its emphasis on social and economic conditions as deciding factors in shaping a nation’s culture: in addition to the words and actions of great men and the outcomes of significant skirmishes and battles, McMaster indulges his obsession with fascinating trivia, from which fruits and vegetables were to be found in the markets of 18th-century Boston to the cost of books in Pennsylvania before the Revolution.Volume 1, spanning the colonial period to the immediate aftermath of the war with Britain and the establishment of the federal government, is a compulsively readable account of the birth pangs of the new nation, and covers such intriguing and unlikely topics as the debate over the coinage of the United States, the first American ship to sail for China, and the impact of war debts on the fledgling country.American historian JOHN BACH MCMASTER (1852-1932) taught at the Wharton School of Finance and Economy at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, from 1883 to 1919. He also wrote Benjamin Franklin as a Man of Letters (1887) and A School History of the United States (1897), which became a definitive textbook. |

A Wayward Wizard’s Wistful Words $7.36 This compilation of quotes and quips encompasses just a few years, and was only considered when I looked in my folder one day and saw just how many I had written.Someone suggested to me that I try to get them published in this form, stressing that it might make a good Christmas stocking, birthday, coffee table sort of book-nothing more pretentious than that.I agreed with them, and so here it is.I hope you enjoy these quotes and quips and get a chuckle out of them.Some are more thought provoking than others, but none should result in countless hours of philosophical wrestling or endless questioning of the ethical content. They just represent those few short moments when I put pen to paper, and tried to express my ideas as expeditiously as possible, while attempting to configure them in a context that has that touch of humor in it.It’s something that a lot of us do, whether it be in written words, in art form, or just in casual speech at the dining room table.Life is life. People are people. And some of all of that is funny. In my case, I find a lot of it funny.I find it prudent to laugh at myself before anybody else does. Besides, that way, they can laugh with me, and not at me.So, please enjoy, and I do hope that some of these efforts give you a smile from time to time. |

Africa and the African Diaspora: Cultural Adaptation and Resistance $19.99 Africa and the African Diaspora is the outcome of a symposium held at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon (February 2002), entitled “Symposium on Freedom in Black History,” designed to celebrate Black History Month. The major themes of the conference were how Africans both at home on the continent and dispersed abroad, often by forces beyond their control, reacted to oppression and subjugation in seeking freedom from slavery, colonialism, and discrimination. The volume documents the many forms that oppression has taken, the many forms that resistance has taken, and the cultural developments that have allowed Africans to adapt to the new and changing economic, social and environmental conditions to win back their freedom. Oppressive strategies as divide-and-rule could be based on any one of a number of features, such as skin color, place of origin, culture, or social or economic status. People drawn into the vortex of the Atlantic trade and funneled into the sugar fields, the swampy rice lands or the cotton, coffee or tobacco plantations of the new world and elsewhere, had no alternative but to risk their lives for freedom. The plantation provided the context for the dehumanization of disadvantaged groups subjected to exhausting work, frequent punishment and personal injustice of every kind,This book demonstrates that the history and interpretation of these struggles of the oppressed peoples to free themselves have not received proportionate attention and analysis, as have other aspects of that history. For example, although Maroon societies or “runaways”, formed colonies of core communities that fought won and preserved freedom in the New World and became the symbol of a special type of nationalism they have never been fully depicted as such in that role in World History and culture. In the discussion of freedom and the activities accompanying it in historical times, we often overlook the minor currents that accompany its attainment either at its in |

An Italian Journey $12.8 First published in France in 1954, Jean Giono’s tale describes his journey to the land whence his father’s people came. A most reluctant traveler, Giono nonetheless discovers a strange beauty not only in such traditional sights as the palazzos and canals of Venice but in people and objects usually ignored or forgotten: wistful waiters, suspicious hair dressers, pugnacious men of God, recalcitrant coffee machines, telescopic umbrellas, and abandoned field machinery. Giono’s world is one where a street gathering that seems to verge on revolution is in reality a stamp collector’s market, and where inept municipal musicians can suddenly offer Mozartian joys.An Italian Journey is also a meditation on the author’s development and a manual on how to achieve happiness. Giono is conscious of Italy’s obvious beauties — the fine monuments, the lyrical landscapes — but his gift is apprehending the joys squeezed from the dark side of life — from dull skies, grim facades, muddy fields, and the tedium of the autostrada. Laden with anecdote and history as well as the author’s exploration of self, An Italian Journey is a masterpiece of travel literature. |

An Unashamed Defense Of Coffee $9.99 The first coffee of the day is a make-or-break moment. A robust, flavorful cup can clear the mind, cheer the soul, and boost self-confidence. A watery, bitter brew almost guarantees gloom. More than one billion people start their day by drinking a cup of coffee, making it the most popular drink worldwide, after water, and the coffee industry second in the worldwide economy, after oil. However, most people still consider coffee a guilty pleasure. One reason is that many think coffee contains only caffeine and is detrimental to health. In fact, coffee is far more than caffeine-it contains a complex mixture of bioactive compounds that can affect health positively, such as antioxidants, minerals, niacin, and lactones. This book debunks the myths surrounding coffee and proves that coffee in moderation can actually prevent many diseases. Extensive research has been conducted in the last twenty years, but the findings have been relegated to highly specialized journals which are inaccessible to most readers. Now, coffee drinkers rejoice-this book articulates the massive body of research that’s been done in a way that everyone can understand and enjoy! Coffee has been and continues to be an important part of human history-economically, physiologically, and socially. It is the favorite drink of many celebrities and innovators, such as Britney Spears, Halle Berry, Jennifer Jones, Bill Gates, Robin Williams, Kevin Spacey, Jon Stewart, Dave Chapelle, and Madonna, as well as numerous historical figures, like Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon, Lord Byron, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Voltaire, Casanova, Goethe, Hemingway, Picasso, Balzac, and Wyatt Earp. There are lots of reasons to drink coffee every day, as the millions of customers who flock to coffeehouses to order a “special,” double espresso or latte will attest. Wake up, smell and read all about coffee. 101 Reasons to Drink Coffee without Guilt provides an accessible, engaging, and illuminating exploration of this beloved beverage. |

Andy Goldsworthy $24 ANDY GOLDSWORTHY: TOUCHING NATUREDESCRIPTIONA new and revised edition of our best-selling book on Andy Goldsworthy. A completely rewritten exploration of the sculptor, updated to include recent works such as Night Path (2002) and Chalk Stones (2003) in Sussex, Three Cairns (2002) on the American East and West coasts, Stone Houses (2004) and Garden of Stones (2003) in Gotham, Passage (2005) in London, and Slate Domes (2005) in Washington, DC. Known as a ‘land’, ‘earth’, ‘nature’ or ‘environmental’ artist, Andy Goldsworthy works with(in) nature. He uses natural materials in natural shapes and forms often set in natural contexts (but also in cities, towns, parks, sculpture parks, and many spaces created or adapted by people). FROM THE INTRODUCTIONIn the 1990s, Andy Goldsworthy’s art began to rise in popularity: the glossy coffee table book Stone became a bestseller (bear in mind it was then priced at $55). In 1994 Goldsworthy took over some West End galleries with a large one-man show. In 1995 he was part of an intriguing group show at the British Museum (Time Machine), creating sculptures, along with Richard Deacon, Peter Randall-Page and others, in amongst the monumental statuary of the famous Egyptian Hall. Also in 1995, Goldsworthy designed a set of Royal Mail stamps (and again in 2003). Digne in France became an increasingly important Goldsworthy location, with shows in 1995, 1997 and 2000). Prestigious commissions occurred in the US from the mid-1990s onwards. For instance: the giant Wall at Storm King Art Center in 1998; the Three Cairns on the East and West Coasts and Iowa in 2001-02; the ‘stone houses’ at the Metropolitan Museum in Gotham in 2004; the monument to the Holocaust (also in New York) in 2003; and the slate domes in Washington, DC in 2005. Goldsworthy continues to work in countries such as Japan, Australia, Holland, Canada, North America and France |

At Heaven’s Gate: Reflections on Leading Worship $8.72 Worship can be a duty rather than a joy, a gathering of the likeminded rather than an encounter with the living God. For those who lead worship, the liturgy can be reduced to a steady progression through a service book, instead of a drawing forth of gifts and ministries from an expectant assembly engaged in an enterprise that joins earth to heaven. This book attempts to answer the question ‘What makes really good worship?’ by examining the chief components of worship, that engages, inspires and transforms. It recalls us to the wonder of worship, and reminds us that when the people of God gather, we come to the very gate of heaven, touching the eternal mystery. How does a visit to the local gate of heaven appear to many people today? Is the welcome warm and genuine? Is there a sense of expectancy? Do the surroundings speak of transcendence or are they full of clutter? Is every minute taken up with words and music or are there spaces when we can listen for God? Is the coffee afterwards worth staying for? Here are simple and good ideas for making worship the transformative experience it should be. |

Ayur Veda $22.49 By committing himself to relieve pain and mental agony, the graduated pain therapist of the German Society for Naturopathy and Energetic Pain Therapy, ayurvedic life coach and author, Hans Georg van Herste travelled through half Europe, South Africa and East Asia.In South Korea, he asked to be instructed in the Korean massage, which may release even the most severe muscle agglutinations. In South Africa, he ran the opportunity to look over a midwife´s shoulder, who taught him how to conduct the birth preparation of the two trees. Over the course of many years, he traveled to India in order to experience and learn the original Ayur Veda. Lakshmi and Shakti, two old-established healers, chose him as their student, drove him through his own, frequently turning out to be painful self-awareness, allowed him to have a look behind the curtains, explained to him the world by means of the ayurvedic point of view, taught him amazing and amazingly simple healing methods and finally rewarded him with a many century-old palm leaf. This honor is only reserved to very few people and made him to one of the happiest people on Earth. With this book, Hans Georg van Herste reveals his knowledge and invites the reader to take part in his adventures and experiences. The curious reader will find out much more, than the price of a pack of coffee. Whether as instructive inner examination or just as interesting reading – this book opens gates and conjures up the spirit of ancient knowledge and makes it appear in a new life. |

Balm in Gilead $2.74 The setting is an all-night coffee shop on New York’s upper Broadway, where the riff-raff, the bums, the petty thieves, the lost, the desperate of the big city come together. The movement of the kaleidoscopic in effect, a surging mosaic of overlapping and interrelating speeches and action as separate goals and characters are blended together around a common center. At the core of the play are Joe and Darlene, two young people who would seem to have the strength and the need to transcend the turmoil and ugliness of the life in which they found themselves—but are, instead, crushed by it. But their loss is quickly absorbed in the maelstrom, as the others go on desperately seeking the joy and release and purpose in life which will, most certainly, continue to escape them. |

Becoming Metropolitan: Urban Selfhood and the Making of Modern Cracow $35.54  The “Age of Great Cities” erupted in East Central Europe in the last quarter of the 19th century as migrants poured into imperial and regional capitals. For citizens of places like Cracow, discovering and enacting metropolitan identities reinforced their break from a provincial past while affirming their belonging to “modern European civilization.” Strolling the city streets, sipping coffee in cafés, riding the electric tram, and reading the popular press, Cracovians connected to modern big-city culture. In this lively account, Wood looks to the mass circulation illustrated press as well as to supporting evidence from memoirs and archives from the period to present Cracow as a case study that demonstrates the ways people identify with modern urban life.Wood’s original study represents a major shift in thinking about Cracovian and East Central European history at the turn of the century. Challenging the previous scholarship that has focused on nationalism, Wood demonstrates that, in the realm of everyday life, urban identities were often more immediate and compelling. Becoming Metropolitan will appeal to scholars and students of urban history and the popular press, as well as to those interested in Polish history, Eastern European history, and modern European history.    |

Beyond The Reach Of Time And Change $223.25 Around the turn of the twentieth century, most photographs of Indians pandered to shameless, insensitive stereotypes. In contrast, photographic portraits made by Frank A. Rinehart conveyed the dignity and pride of Native peoples. More than 545 Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country attended the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition in Omaha in 1898 to be part of an event known as the Indian Congress. Rinehart, the exposition’s official photographer, and his assistant Adolph Muhr made more than 500 glassplate negatives depicting Native Americans in their traditional dress, now housed at Haskell Indian Nations University and regarded as one of the best photographic documentation’s of Indian leaders from this era. This book provides an unusual perspective on the Rinehart collection. It features one hundred outstanding images printed from the original negatives made by Rinehart and Muhr at the Congress and over the course of the next two years. It also includes 14 essays by modern Native American writers, artists, and educators–some of them descendants of the individuals photographed–reflecting on the place of these images in their heritage. Beyond the Reach of Time and Change is not another coffee-table book of historical Indian photographs but rather a conversation between Indian people of a century ago and today. Just as the Rinehart collection offers today’s Native Americans a unique connection to the past, this book offers all readers a positive understanding of continuity and endurance within the American Indian community. |

Beyond the Scene $46.45 If a nation could be said to have a dominant passion, New Zealands would be its landscapes. Images of spectacular natural features pervade the media between the pages of glossy coffee-table books, in tourism promotions and on screen as the setting for blockbuster movies but are these scenes that define its people? For Beyond the Scene the editors asked eleven writers to choose a landscape that was important to them and to write it from the perspective of their life experience and knowledge. From farmer to art historian and film critic, geographer and planner to lawyer, from landscape architect to poet and environmentalist these are diverse voices. Each discusses a very different landscape: from suburban Auckland and rural Waikato to a planned town in Canterbury and much-filmed Otago. Together, they investigate the relationship landscape has to identity, community and psyche. |

Blank $0.01 A smart, hilarious parody of Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book.From The Publisher:Stop! Don’t think! You already know what this book is about. That is the power of Blank: the power of not actually thinking at all. Using what scientific researchers call Extra-Lean Deli Slicing (or would if they actually bothered to research it), your brain has already decided whether you’re going to like Blank, whether its cover goes with your shirt, and whether it will make you look smart if somebody sees you reading it on the train.Chances are you and your shirt are both liking it a lot, you’re going to buy several copies, and you don’t even know why! That’s why you’ve absolutely got to read Blank: to find out why your brain keeps doing these wacky things without your permission. In Blank, a hilarious parody of the number-one bestseller it looks eerily like (and sort of rhymes with) and that your brain wisely advised you to just read a review or magazine excerpt about while avoiding the actual book itself, the brilliantly impulsive and slightly irresponsible Noah Tall explains how people as diverse as General Custer, Roy Rogers, a semi-famous rock star, and the entire New York City Police Department either won big or lost miserably as a result of their minds going completely Blank.About The Author:Noah Tall is a longtime subscriber to The New Yorker and other magazines that people leave on their coffee tables when they want to look smart. He has also been a member of Names, the dyslexic branch of Mensa, since 1598. He is the author of the highly acclaimed national bestseller The Tippling Point, which has yet to be published. |

Bloom’s Morning: Coffee, Comforters, and the Secret Meaning of Everyday Life $15.95 A profound way to understand morning rituals in America. Coffee, comforters, king-sized beds, gel toothpaste, razors, underwear, the morning shower—all activities and objects we have tended to pay no attention to—until the publication of this book. In a series of short vignettes endearingly illustrated by the author, Arthur Asa Berger gives Americans a profound way to understand their morning rituals. Have you ever considered, for instance, that the digital clock, by producing free-floating liquid numerals disconnecting us from both time past and time future, could be interpreted as a metaphor for the alienation many people feel in contemporary society? Or consider our nightclothes: The pajama is the most immediate witness to our sexual activities; thus, we cover our pajamas with a bathrobe to guard against the anxiety of being revealed to other family members. The pajama is intricately connected to human shame. Bloom’s Morning, with 36 short chapters bracketed by brief essays on the nature of semiotic analysis, is a perfect book for the inquisitive mind. It is chock-full of valuable and quirky nuggets from this most interesting of social commentators—items that, taken together, give us a new vision through which to understand ourselves. |

Body Wave $3.99 Salon owner Marla Shore is pretty hard to shock, but she’s truly stunned to learn that her hateful ex-husband, Stanley Kaufman, has been arrested for the murder of his third wife, Kimberly–and wants Marla to find the “real” killer. Stan’s plenty of things, but he’s no murderer. So who could have stabbed the beautiful young heiress and left her body lying at the foot of her stairs? Marla soon finds herself going undercover at the exclusive compound of one of South Florida’s most wealthy families–and quickly figures out that plenty of people had it in for the former Mrs. Stan Kaufman. Certainly Stan’s most recent ex-wife Leah isn’t shedding any tears over the woman who stole her husband. Kim also had run-ins with Uncle Morris, manager of the family’s coffee-growing empire. Then there were her twisted ties to crazy-like-a fox Aunt Florence, gospel-spouting televangelist Jeremiah Dooley, not-so-ex-boyfriend Gary Waterford, and Kim’s dubious “best” friend, Lacey Mills. With all the bad blood Kim left behind, it isn’t long before Marla’s making serious waves. From affairs and blackmail plots to bitter rivalries and fraud, the case is a tangled mess that leaves Marla vulnerable to a killer who’s on to her true identity and will stop at nothing to find a permanent solution to the problem… |

Bouki’s Honey $12.34 Come share in the rich, Creole Culture of Louisiana, cher! Learn (French Creole) and laugh — with the humorous, Creole characters “Bouki and Lapin” “The Creole Folktales of Compaire Bouki and Compaire Lapin” have a rich and fascinating history, hundreds of years old. The tales originated from Senegal, Africa and according to the historical, Louisiana Creole Plantation ‘Laura’, they were first recorded in the United States – in Laura Plantation’s 150-year-old cabins. Lapin’s adventures (‘Lapin’ means “rabbit” in French) soon went on to become the popular American Tales known as ‘Br’er (Brother) Rabbit’ – only ‘Compaire Bouki and Compaire Lapin’ retain the original, unique French Creole ‘flavor’. (In French folklore, ‘compaire/compair’ means brother.)In various Louisiana stories Bouki is pictured as a donkey, raccoon or wolf. You’ll get to meet ‘Bouki the donkey’, in “Bouki’s Honey”. Bouki was a ‘hyena’ in the original African folktales. The name ‘Bouki’ is a ‘wolof ‘ word – ‘wolof ‘ being both the language and the people of Senegal , Africa – and is said to mean, “stupid hyena”. Some even say ‘Bouki’ is a play on words meaning, “bookish” (something the character never is). It is believed that the Senegal slaves brought to Louisiana, actually told the African-based stories of ‘Bouki and Lapin’ as code, to illustrate victory over the conditions of slavery – with Lapin humorously outwitting plantation owner, ‘Bouki’. Thus we have ‘a bit of history and a lot of humor’, with the colorful tales of ‘Lapin’ – the clever, trickster rabbit, and ‘Bouki’, the slow-witted donkey. Today, ‘Compaire Bouki and Compaire Lapin’ continue to bepopular, French Creole folktales passed from generation to generation — and enjoyed by ages one to 101.*Note: Coming in late 2007-Bouki and Lapin merchandise – t-shirts, coffee mugs and moreat BoukiandLapin.com |

Brands That Rock: What Business Leaders Can Learn From the World of Rock and Roll $0.99 "Reading Brands That Rock is like attending business school, where classes on customer loyalty, consumer behavior, and branding are taught by Mick Jagger, Elton John, Steven Tyler, and Madonna."–Tommy Hilfiger, DesignerCadillac and The Rolling Stones. Victoria’s Secret and Madonna. Wal-Mart and KISS. What could these corporate brands and legendary rock bands have in common? Fans–devoted customers who not only display long-term buying loyalty and an insatiable appetite for spending, but evangelize to others the reasons for their adoration.Today’s competitive times demand that retailers and manufacturers alike identify new ways to attract and retain customers.

For generations, these adventurers have their eyes set on El Dorado, which they ultimately find—in a coffee fazenda at São Paulo. Brazil is an intensely human story—brutal and violent, tender and passionate. Perilous explorations through the Brazilian wilderness…the perpetual clash of pioneer and native, visionary and fortune hunter, master and slave, zealot and exploiter… the thunder of war on land and sea as European powers and South American nations pursue their territorial conquests…the triumphs and tragedies of a people who built a nation covering half the South American continent …all are here in one spell-binding saga. |

Bread of Three Rivers: The Story of a French Loaf $6 What is it about bread? Why am I, here in the middle of my life, so enamored of French loaves? Two images kept cropping up: two French people sitting in a café for a long afternoon of eating thick hunks of bread and drinking cups of coffee, and a Frenchman on a bicycle with a loaf slung across his handlebars. These visions seemed to depict lives soaked in leisure, where there was time for the good things. . . . Then this thought ambled forth: It’s the dailiness of bread, like a reliable friend. . . . My plan starts to billow forth. My project, as I imagine it, will be a natural history, an ecology of bread. The story of a loaf.Overcome by a passion for French bread, Sara Mansfield Taber travels to Brittany in search of a loaf, which like the lifestyle that must surely accompany it, is perfect in its simplicity. After many months of seeking, she tears off a hunk of pain trois rivières, made by Gold Medal baker Monsieur Jean-Claude Choquet of Blain, Loire-Atlantique. It “smelled like heaven and tasted a mile deep.” It tasted honest. Here was her loaf.In Bread of Three Rivers Taber takes us deep into the grainy crumb, uncovering the four basic ingredients-the salt, water, wheat, and yeast-that when combined by M. Choquet make for a spectacular loaf. We learn of the marshy fields of Guérande where for hundreds of years salt, blessed with a unique mixture of microbes and minerals (that lend their flavor to the bread), has been harvested with the help of the sun. Then we’re off to Moulin de Pont-James to meet the miller, who whispers to Taber that he actually uses strong American wheat from North Dakota to fortify the local harvest. Then to Nantes to engage the organic wheat farmer. In Nort-sur-Erdre we discover an ancient natural aquifer, composed of sand and limestone somewhere between 8 million and 50 million years ago. We end our journey in Lille at the Lesaffre Yeast Company, where the alchemy responsible for everything |

Breakout: One church’s amazing story of growth through missionshaped communities $12.99 Breakout is the story of one church’s discovery of a Spirit empowered, New Testament model of church. It is an honest, inspiring testimony to the truth that the Gospel of Jesus still maintains its life-changing power and God’s people still have it in them to change the world.St Andrew’s Chorleywood has been at the forefront of church renewal for over three decades. In the last five years, it has seen substantial growth as the congregation has moved from drawing people to one place, to a model in which well over a thousand believers have been sent out in mission-shaped communities of up to 50 members, meeting in school halls, community centres, coffee shops and other contexts. This daring move has resulted in the raising up of over a hundred new leaders, a massive release of spiritual gifts, great vision and creativity in outreach, and major growth through evangelism. |

Bring It On, Baby: How to Have a Dudelike Pregnancy $1.99 A refreshingly frank and funny take on motherhood that is not designed to make you feel guilty I have 10 worries, and the first nine are all variations on the theme of labor and “Is there really a baby in there, or just some lizards?”Over the course of the last three years and her first two pregnancies, Zoe Williams has shared her refreshingly forthright insights into impending and new motherhood in her regular Guardian “Anti-natal” column. Whether bemoaning the fact that simply being pregnant seemed to give overbearing people the urge to comment on everything she ate, drank, or wore (I’m drinking coffee and suddenly that makes me an evil mom-to-be. What is wrong with these people?) or inventing elaborate lies to explain why she was late to take her first born for his injections (Perhaps I moved to Italy, but the economic downturn destroyed my prospects and I had to move back.) her commentary is honest, feisty, and—in some cases—downright hilarious. This book will include new material as well as extracts from the columns, building into an idiosyncratic, individual take on becoming a mom—a pregnancy companion with attitude. |
