Hunga Dunga by Phil Polizatto Pdf

GIACCO GIORDANO is insane He has organic brain damage from too much LSD. He's harmless, but incurable. The State awards him a paltry stipend, but enough to contribute to the communal coffers of Hunga Dunga and to pursue enlightenment on a grand scale. This is Giacco's story about that brief but unforgettable time in our history when fl ower children were sure peace and love would guide the planet. It was only a matter of time. Or so they thought. What happened? Giacco would like to remind you. Time is running out. HUNGA DUNGA is often holy, often horny. Sometimes saintly, sometimes sexually explicit. From New York to Los Angeles, Lovelock to Woodstock, Tucson to Prince George, San Francisco to Twisp, and an amazing journey around the world in search of The Guru. You are in for some very strange rides. If you are lucky, you may just find the secret to god-realization. But make sure you are sitting under a blanket. ..".this is damned good stuff Superlative dialogue. Written with a comfort and assuredness that vacuumed me into that world.

Messages in Handlebars by Kendrick Kirk Pdf

In World War II, the French Resistance played a vital role in the Allied victory. Supported by Britain's Special Operations Executive, Resistance networks were formed, led and equipped by SOE agents. The Auduc family provided essential support to the network formed around Le Mans, France, by an American OSS agent and a French SOE agent. The Auduc's oldest son, Jean-Jacques, became the youngest Resistance fighter to be awarded the Croix de Guerre. He was also awarded the U. S. Medal of Freedom and the French Legion of Honor for heroism as a 12 year old. The downing of two B-17's on July 4, 1943, brought the Auduc's face to face with the five surviving U. S. airmen. The airmen were first sheltered and then repatriated to England. The Auduc family and their fellows teach us how much people will sacrifice to gain freedom from an oppressor. American, British, Canadian and French worked in cloaked secrecy and harmony to rid the world of the greatest evil in recorded history.

California Cuisine and Just Food by Sally K. Fairfax Pdf

An account of the shift in focus to access and fairness among San Francisco Bay Area alternative food activists and advocates. Can a celebrity chef find common ground with an urban community organizer? Can a maker of organic cheese and a farm worker share an agenda for improving America's food? In the San Francisco Bay area, unexpected alliances signal the widening concerns of diverse alternative food proponents. What began as niche preoccupations with parks, the environment, food aesthetics, and taste has become a broader and more integrated effort to achieve food democracy: agricultural sustainability, access for all to good food, fairness for workers and producers, and public health. This book maps that evolution in northern California. The authors show that progress toward food democracy in the Bay area has been significant: innovators have built on familiar yet quite radical understandings of regional cuisine to generate new, broadly shared expectations about food quality, and activists have targeted the problems that the conventional food system creates. But, they caution despite the Bay Area's favorable climate, progressive politics, and food culture many challenges remain.

Inside the California Food Revolution by Joyce Goldstein Pdf

In this authoritative and immensely readable insider’s account, celebrated cookbook author and former chef Joyce Goldstein traces the development of California cuisine from its formative years in the 1970s to 2000, when farm-to-table, foraging, and fusion cooking had become part of the national vocabulary. Interviews with almost two hundred chefs, purveyors, artisans, winemakers, and food writers bring to life an approach to cooking grounded in passion, bold innovation, and a dedication to "flavor first." Goldstein explains how the counterculture movement in the West gave rise to a restaurant culture characterized by open kitchens, women in leadership positions, and a surprising number of chefs and artisanal food producers who lacked formal training. The new cuisine challenged the conventional kitchen hierarchy and French dominance in fine dining, leading to a more egalitarian and informal food scene. In weaving Goldstein’s views on California food culture with profiles of those who played a part in its development—from Alice Waters to Bill Niman to Wolfgang Puck—Inside the California Food Revolution demonstrates that, while fresh produce and locally sourced ingredients are iconic in California, what transforms these elements into a unique cuisine is a distinctly Western culture of openness, creativity, and collaboration. Engagingly written and full of captivating anecdotes, this book shows how the inspirations that emerged in California went on to transform the experience of eating throughout the United States and the world.

Hell's Angels by Jay A. Stout Pdf

During the air battles that destroyed Nazi Germany's ability to wage war, one bomb group was especially distinguished. The Hell's Angels. At the outbreak of World War II, the United States was in no way prepared to wage war. Although the U.S declared war against Germany in December 1941, the country lacked the manpower, the equipment, and the experience it needed to fight. Even had an invasion force been ready, a successful assault on Nazi-occupied Europe could not happen until Germany's industrial and military might were crippled. Because no invasion could happen without air superiority, the first target was the Luftwaffe--the most powerful and battle-hardened air force in the world. To this end, the United States Army Air Forces joined with Great Britain's already-engaged Royal Air Force to launch a strategic air campaign that ultimately brought the Luftwaffe to its knees. One of the standout units of this campaign was the legendary 303rd Bomb Group--Hell's Angels. This is the 303rd's story, as told by the men who made it what it was. Taking their name from their B-17 of the same name, they became one of the most distinguished and important air combat units in history. The dramatic and terrible air battles they fought against Germany changed the course of the war.

Making Slow Food Fast in California Cuisine by Victor W. Geraci Pdf

This book follows the development of industrial agriculture in California and its influence on both regional and national eating habits. Early California politicians and entrepreneurs envisioned agriculture as a solution to the food needs of the expanding industrial nation. The state’s climate, geography, vast expanses of land, water, and immigrant workforce when coupled with university research and governmental assistance provided a model for agribusiness. In a short time, the San Francisco Bay Area became a hub for guaranteeing Americans access to a consistent quantity of quality foods. To this end, California agribusiness played a major role in national food policies and subsequently produced a bifurcated California Cuisine that sustained both Slow and Fast Food proponents. Problems arose as mid-twentieth century social activists battled the unresponsiveness of government agencies to corporate greed, food safety, and environmental sustainability. By utilizing multidisciplinary literature and oral histories the book illuminates a more balanced look at how a California Cuisine embraced Slow Food Made Fast.

Finding My Groove by Larry Amstutz Pdf

“Lyrics have been the poetry of my life.” A former disc jockey who has “lived, worked, and played in every corner” of Vancouver Island, recounts in this absorbing memoir the livelihoods, lessons, and loves of several generations of working people in the resource-based industries of British Columbia, with in-depth and interesting descriptions of how jobs were and are performed and how communities come together and splinter. The author provides equally detailed accounts of his subsequent careers in broadcasting and business in Toronto, Vancouver, the Okanagan, and back on the Big Island. This book resounds with themes of music. It’s about learning and growing through life experiences; taking chances and pursuing your dreams; family values and responsibility; respect and tolerance for others; finding out it’s okay to fail; and redemption and forgiveness. With “album cuts” to introduce and highlight each chapter, Finding My Groove is a study in cultural differences between different industry sectors and ways of life, as well as different regions of Canada. This book brings to light themes that are common despite these differences—danger, tragedy, life and death, triumphs and disappointments, mental and physical health, lessons learned, lost dreams, love, and renewed commitment. It provides firsthand knowledge of logging, of broadcasting, of the comparison of big-city life to small-town experiences. It is a guide to finding satisfaction and contentment in life, and coming to peace with yourself.

Second Intermission by Lois Breedlove Pdf

Who Can Tell Her Story? Deborah Blessing is a German Baptist who has chosen to play a devout Muslim woman in the play Afghanistan. She's in awe of the playwright, a Marine veteran named Jake Abbott, and hero worships the professor for the play's production, Gail Tremont. They're two of the reasons she's standing up to pressure from her community to act in the play. But mostly, it's the character herself. A devout woman of faith who risked her life for some strangers deserved to be played by a woman of faith. Who else could give her voice? This novella continues the story of Gail Tremont and Jake Abbott, following after book 2, The Show Goes On. While the novella isn't necessary to the plot of the trilogy, it offers some steamier romance between the two — and a side-journey into Deborah's story. Second Chance Romances features four women friends (and a few others) who have each other's backs. And really? There's little you can't do if you've got friends like that. You might even take another chance at love.
