Praise for Marcus Samuelsson's James Beard Award–Winning Discovery of a Continent: Foods, Flavors, and Inspiration from Africa "[Samuelsson's] recipes are seductive amalgams, designed to lure American cooks into adding less-familiar African flavors. . . . Sumptuous photographs by Gediyon Kifle . . . will inspire you to follow Samuelsson on his travels." —New York Times Book Review "A deeply personal mix of recipes and culture from chef/restaurant owner and native African whom Gourmet named 'one of the most innovative chefs in the world.'" —USA Today "Original, intelligent, and well executed. . . . A personal culinary odyssey. . . . The result is a compelling blend of traditional recipes and a kind of personal fusion food." —Los Angeles Times "Cookbook of the year. . . . Sparkles with color, intriguing recipes, and informative tidbits inspired by the research Samuelsson conducted." —Chicago Tribune "A loving, enticing tribute to a continent that [Samuelsson] believes represents, foodwise, the next big thing. . . . Captures the traditional recipes of countries from Morocco to South Africa, and also includes Samuelsson's spin on the flavors he encountered." —O, The Oprah Magazine "American cooks have explored many parts of the world in their kitchens, but one continent is almost entirely missing from our repertoires—Africa. . . . Marcus Samuelsson may change that single-handedly." —San Francisco Chronicle

The American Discovery of Europe investigates the voyages of America's Native peoples to the European continent before Columbus's 1492 arrival in the "New World." The product of over twenty years of exhaustive research in libraries throughout Europe and the United States, the book paints a clear picture of the diverse and complex societies that constituted the Americas before 1492 and reveals the surprising Native American involvements in maritime trade and exploration. Starting with an encounter by Columbus himself with mysterious people who had apparently been carried across the Atlantic on favorable currents, Jack D. Forbes proceeds to explore the seagoing expertise of early Americans, theories of ancient migrations, the evidence for human origins in the Americas, and other early visitors coming from Europe to America, including the Norse. The provocative, extensively documented, and heartfelt conclusions of The American Discovery of Europe present an open challenge to received historical wisdom.

"I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.
