"Jonathan Phang grew up in a hectic Chinese/Caribbean household in London that was always packed with waifs and strays as well as the wonderful, rich smells of the next delicious meal. The Pepperpot Club is a stunning collection of Caribbean recipes and Jonathan recounts his childhood which was defined by tales from the homeland, loud music, booming laughter, and his mother's spicy aromatic cooking. Jonathan's Nanny Phang had a theory: if you cook food people love to eat, you will gain all you want from life. In this book he shares recipes from family and friends from all six races of the Caribbean u East Indian, Chinese, Mixed European, African, North American and indigenous Amerindian u are celebrated and include Meatball and glass noodle soup, Chinese ribs, Jerk Chicken, Coconut cream pie and a kicker of a Rum punch. Peppered throughout are Jonathan's family photographs as well as stunning shots of the Caribbean."--Publisher's description.

This might be one of the best fiction books about a father’s ability to brainwash his son into a successful life. What seems like a tale about believing in yourself when starting life in a small village in a third-world country quickly turns into a humorous and inspirational journey about overcoming adversity and dealing with first-world problems. Join author Ramdyal Bhola as he tells a fictional story based on his life. It’s not one of those rags-to-riches stories. Still, you’ll enjoy a worldwide journey as he leaves his village in Guyana, South America, and heads from London to Australia, where he became a successful medical practitioner. You’ll even get a little insight into the Aboriginal culture and see how being brainwashed at just the right time can lead to believing in yourself, overcoming adversity, and helping others as a medical practitioner.

This edited collection focuses on the relationship between social care, communities and citizenship. While there is extensive research within each of these fields, until now there is a dearth of dialogue between them: this book provides a link in a way that is relevant to both policy and practice.

Pepper Pot a book full of peppery words is not the least of the other books written by Liston B. Monsanto, Sr. It is the fifth in a series of books authored by him. And whereas Kalaloo A Pepper Pot was at one time the most important and principal meal on New Years Eve (Old Years Night) in the Virgin Islands, and whereas this book (Pepper Pot) is as eclectic as Kalaloo inasmuch as it is made up of stories that are not alike, it has become, without a doubt, good food for the mind. Had it been written by the office of the Inspector General for the publics review it would have easily been called an audit.

Now long out of print, John Dunning's Tune in Yesterday was the definitive one-volume reference on old-time radio broadcasting. Now, in On the Air, Dunning has completely rethought this classic work, reorganizing the material and doubling its coverage, to provide a richer and more informative account of radio's golden age. Here are some 1,500 radio shows presented in alphabetical order. The great programs of the '30s, '40s, and '50s are all here--Amos 'n' Andy, Fibber McGee and Molly, The Lone Ranger, Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour, and The March of Time, to name only a few. For each, Dunning provides a complete broadcast history, with the timeslot, the network, and the name of the show's advertisers. He also lists major cast members, announcers, producers, directors, writers, and sound effects people--even the show's theme song. There are also umbrella entries, such as "News Broadcasts," which features an engaging essay on radio news, with capsule biographies of major broadcasters, such as Lowell Thomas and Edward R. Murrow. Equally important, Dunning provides a fascinating account of each program, taking us behind the scenes to capture the feel of the performance, such as the ghastly sounds of Lights Out (a horror drama where heads rolled and bones crunched), and providing engrossing biographies of the main people involved in the show. A wonderful read for everyone who loves old-time radio, On the Air is a must purchase for all radio hobbyists and anyone interested in 20th-century American history. It is an essential reference work for libraries and radio stations.
