ABOUT THE BOOK Lunch in Paris: A Love Story with Recipes is not only a love letter to France and Elizabeth Bard’s husband Gwendal, but a love letter to good food as well. Bard takes the mundane aspects of solitary ingredients and writes about them so intricately that reading about a rare pave au poivre maes you to feel the steak in your mouth. What starts out as a one-afternoon stand (she and husband Gwendal had their first date in the afternoon) turns into a love affair of epic proportions not only with each other, but with their beloved France as well. The recipes almost always follow a significant event in Bard’s life. Upon meeting her future in-laws for the first time, after a five hour car ride, her nervousness is contagious. But all was well as Gwendal’s parents threw together a magnificent feast of poached cod with wilted leeks and homemade mayonnaise. Life would never be the same for Bard again, nor for Gwendal’s parents. After meeting her mother-in-law, Elizabeth, Nicole promptly signs up for English classes.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK “Elizabeth Bard is originally a New Yorker and found her way to London in the early 2000’s. During a trip to attend a conference in Paris, she met her Gwendal and fell in love. Bard subsequently split her time between London and Paris, trying to make a long-distance relationship work, as she had vowed not to give up her independence. The pull of France; its food, people, life and of course her boyfriend was just too strong and Bard relocated to the south of France. (elizabethbard.com) Learning how to live in a place where both the language and customs were foreign to her was a challenge for Bard, who described herself as a lonely only child who only found her peace while strolling through the many museums New York had to offer. Bard later became fluent in the French language and began to learn the recipes that had been handed down to her husband’s family through generations. Buy a copy to keep reading!

This Classic Edition of the best-selling textbook offers an in-depth overview of approaches to the study of memory. With empirical research from both the real world and the neuropsychological clinic, the book explains the fundamental workings of human memory in a clear and accessible style. This edition contains a new introduction and concluding chapter in which the author reflects on how the book is organized, and also on how the field of memory has developed since it was first published. Essentials of Human Memory evolved from a belief that, although the amount we know about memory has increased enormously in recent years, it is still possible to explain it in a way that would be fully understood by the general reader. After a broad overview of approaches to the study of memory, short-term and working memory are discussed, followed by learning, the role of organizing in remembering and factors influencing forgetting, including emotional variables and claims for the role of repression in what has become known as the false memory syndrome. The way in which knowledge of the world is stored is discussed next, followed by an account of the processes underlying retrieval, and their application to the practical issues of eyewitness testimony. The breakdown of memory in the amnesic syndrome is discussed next, followed by discussion of the way in which memory develops in children, and declines in the elderly. After a section concerned with mnemonic techniques and memory improvement, the book ends with an overview of recent developments in the field of human memory. Written by the leading expert in human memory, recently awarded the British Psychological Society Research Board Lifetime Achievement Award, Essentials of Human Memory will be of interest to students of Cognitive Psychology, Neuropsychology, and anyone with an interest in the workings of memory.

This work, by William Douglass (who helped initiate the Basque Studies Program at the University of Nevada, Reno) and Jon Bilbao (author of several Basque reference works), is the most accessible overview of the Basque diaspora in the Western Hemisphere. Amerikanuak is a pioneering study of one of the American West’s most important ethnic minorities, an engaging, comprehensive survey of Basque migration and settlement in the Americas, and an essential introduction to the history of the Basque people and their five centuries of involvement in the New World. Research for the book took the authors through ten states of the American West, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela as they traced the exploits of Basque whalers in the medieval Atlantic, the Basque conquistadors, missionaries, colonists, and sheepherders who formed a dramatic part of the history of Spanish America. They also follow the story of the Basques back to their mysterious origins in prehistory to provide background for understanding the Basques’ character and their homeland in the Pyrenean mountains and seacoasts between France and Spain. This is a revised and updated edition of the original 1975 publication. New preface by William A. Douglass.
