By Barb Stuckey
This book about the science of taste is a fascinating read. Clearly written for the layperson but with all the expertise of Stuckey's professional experience as a food developer, it's peppered with anecdotes, DIY experiments (that you can actually DY-- check out the activities at the end of each chapter), and recipes. From an explanation of how taste buds work to why kids don't like broccoli, Stuckey's book is a delight for anyone who simply loves -- or is very picky about -- food. |
By Marek Bienczyk This collection of poetic essays is about transparency in all its forms and as an idea -- a seemingly specific topic, but when applied to subjects as myriad as art, politics, architecture, musical instruments, the weather, and literature, is actually quite vast. In language as beautiful as it is richly informative, Bienczyk's fascination with and reverence for his subject is contagious, and reveals the world -- and the word -- as you have never quite seen it before.

Many Subtle Channels: In Praise of Potential Literature By Daniel Levin Becker
Daniel Levin Becker's entertaining survey of the literary community called Oulipo (a French abbreviation for something like "the workshop for potential literature") is a welcome addition to the short shelf of books on this fascinating group. Becker manages his material intelligently, providing thumbnail biographies of the group's sometimes eccentric and willfully obtuse members, clear explication of some of the Oulipo's headier methods, and a cogent argument for the usefulness a fringe literary group has in our lives as writers or readers.
