This book is a chronological journey of the kitchens in Julie Kalt Gale's life. The book is a memoir of her life through the stories and recipes of the family and friends who raised her. The stories center on the delicious food prepared and the characters who cooked them. The original drawings have been designed specifically for this book by the author and her son, Tobias. There are 110 recipes that represent foods of the times, from the 1950s to the present day. The recipes include many family heirlooms that were preserved on little scraps of paper that would have disintegrated if they had not been preserved in this book. The recipes run through the alphabet-from Apple Dumplings to Zucchini Tempura.

A memoir of a half-century search for the meaning of life through meditation, visions and study with three spiritual teachers of India"I was no longer aware of my room or my desk. I was standing atop a cliff, facing a body of water, a fjord, a small bay surrounded by stony cliffs. The water was sparkling in golden sunlight. On the water was a tall ship with square sails curved out with wind behind them. It was coming to take me aboard with other people, to carry us to that mysterious thing that I had lost-that we all had lost. I still heard the music of the French horns, but now it came from the ship, echoing off the cliffs: I was being called."¿¿David Edmondston's memoir opens with that visionary experience at the age of seventeen. Now, at the age of eighty, while a coordinator at a meditation center in Bowling Green, Virginia, David shares an unusual perspective on reality-one that's informed by an ancient wisdom. After an eight-year search for truth, David found the first of three spiritual teachers from India who opened to him a world of understanding. In prose and verse, David speaks frankly, as both a dedicated student of mysticism and as a rational thinker. It's a story of his first-hand experiences, longings, fears, and visions-a story of how he was taught and what he learned.

Black Salt for White Eyes was a title that came to Nasihah in a vision one day after critically thinking about his journey from an incarcerated teenager to an educated free adult. It is inspired by the Hebrew passage of the Torah where Yahweh instructs the Children of Israel of their profound greatness but warns that, if forsaken by themselves, they shall be trodden under the foot of other men. Nasihah Jones uses this passage as the framework for constructing a new ideology of liberation for himself and his community - Newburgh and other urban black and brown communities - ravaged by institutional racism and what he considers a form of mental insanity developed by racial oppression. This book is on one hand a memoir of the life of Nasihah Jones from his early childhood years in a violent urban ghetto to the few years after his release from prison. On the other hand, it is also a treatise on the relationship of the young urban black male with the system of white supremacy and racism. "Black Salt for White Eyes" examines the system that relentlessly erases the black male - and black female - and provides a well-scripted narrative that allows young black males through self-hatred to commit black on black genocide. This book offers a blueprint for self-discovery and transformation, using the author's own life as a positive example.
