Kurlansky, Mark: The Basque History of the World :
Softcover, Vintage Books, New York, NY, 2000 0099284138 / 9780099284130
Very Good+, 0.8 x 7.6 x 5.1 Inches; 387 pages; Large softcover, very slight edge wear. Top corner is somewhat bent. Text clean and unmarked. "Straddling the border of southern France and northern Spain, the land of the Basques has long been home to a people who had no country of their own but have always viewed themselves as a nation. In this marvelous work of cultural history and appreciation, Kurlansky traces Basque history from pre-Roman times, when Basques worked as the mercenaries of Carthage, to the region's recent renaissance in language and arts. Along the way, he explains how the Basques came to be among Europe's first whalers, capitalists, explorers, industrialists and international traders. As he did in Cod, Kurlansky fuses political and economic history with delightful digressions into cultural and culinary traditions (several delicious recipes are included). The book is as politically loaded with opinion as it is culturally informative: Kurlansky expresses sympathy for the cause of Basque independence, arguing that many of Spain's current policies toward its Basque minority are holdovers from the repressive Franco regime. He also tends to accept the claim that the Basques "are the original Europeans," largely on the ground that Euskera, the Basque language, appears to have no linguistic relative and is likely the oldest European language still spoken. For all the ground it covers, this wildly informative work is a marvel of clarity, glittering with unusual facts and marked by penetrating insights into a people always "making complex choices about the degree of independence that was needed to preserve their way of life, while looking to the rest of the world for commercial opportunities to ensure their prosperity."

Kushi, Michio; Esko, Edward: The Macrobiotic Approach to Cancer : Towards Preventing and Controlling Cancer with Diet and Lifestyle

Very Good, 0.5 x 8.9 x 5.9 Inches; 192 pages; Slight edge wear, page ends are slightly age-darkened. "It is not an exaggeration to call the rise in the incidence of cancer an epidemic, and modern diet and lifestyle seem like two of the more obvious possible culprits. Author Michio Kushi, founder of Macrobiotics in America, reviews what 25 years of scientific research into the links between diet and cancer has taught us, and then proposes some fairly simple, if stringent, dietary goals. Michio suggests general guidelines, rather than specific diets, allowing the reader to understand the principles of macrobiotics, and create a personalized nutritional program."

Masui, Kazuko & Tomoko Yamada; Robuchon, Joel (foreword): French Cheeses : Eyewitness Handbooks: The Visual Guide to More Than 350 Cheeses From Every Region of France
Softcover, Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Handbooks, New York, NY, 1996 0756753368 / 9780756753368
Very Good, 0.1 x 5.9 x 0.6 Inches; 240 pages; Minor edge wear, a few tiny tears at edges of paper jacket. A few light pencil checkmarks next to several cheeses. Outstanding photographs of the hundreds of cheese varieties to be found in every province of France, including the history, method of production, type of milk used and even recommended wine, beer or spirits to complement the cheese. "Although many guides to the art of fromagerie exist, none provide such visual detail and at-a-glance information as Masui and Yamada. They categorize 350 cheeses in a dictionary format, divided by regions of production, and add succinct sidebars about manufacturing processes and the definition of specific terms (i.e., the distinction between artisanal and industriel), generally enlightening even the most blase of cheese buyers. Like many California wines, few of the cheeses produced in limited quantities even leave the country, so the compilation here yields many surprises. There is a massive amount of reference data to be consumed and savored piece by piece. A glossary and a list of producers, shops, and markets are appended."

Sommer, John G.: Empowering the Oppressed : Grassroots Advocacy Movements in India
Softcover, Sage Publications, New Delhi, India, 2001 0761995730 / 9780761995739

Text clean and unmarked. "Traditional approaches to development have not proven equal to the task of ensuring a just society, especially for the most socially, economically, and psychologically oppressed peoples. The unique individuals and groups introduced in this book recognize that a qualitative and sustainable improvement in the lives of the most downtrodden- those battling discrimination by gender, class, or caste- can be achieved only when the root causes of their oppression are addressed, not just its symptoms. Not only have these leaders and their organizations found strikingly effective and innovative ways by which people may secure their human and civil rights and realign power relations in society; they have also enabled the marginalized poor to pursue their own interests and their own struggles for justice and equality."
