The Political and Social Dynamics of Poverty, Poor Relief and Health Care in Early-Modern Portugal

"Memories and loss juxtapose with curious slices of American roadside kitsch, adding up to a life-affirming, nostalgic adventure with an uplifting finale. The Great Peach Experiment is a cheering middle grade novel about a family&rsquo;s madcap project that includes subtle lessons about overcoming grief."&mdash;Foreword Reviews &#160; "Many, many mishaps and adventures follow the Peaches through their Midwest foray, each relayed with understated insight, while the adroit characterization of the self-absorbedly neglectful dad is heart-rending. On occasion, the plot twists veer to the delightfully quirky, and the whole tale is filled with both authenticity and originality. . . . Both bittersweet and uplifting; simply sparkles with life." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews  "This coming-of-age novel delves deep into the feelings of all three Peach children and the aftermath of losing such an integral person in the family. . . . A solid purchase for libraries where novels dealing with grief, family, and finding one&rsquo;s voice are needed."&mdash;School Library Journal "readers looking for a pleasing family-themed outing may appreciate the flavor of the Peaches." &mdash;The&#160;Bulletin of the Center for Children&rsquo;s Books&#160; "In an enjoyable and accessible middle-grade novel, a grieving family travels the Midwest in a food truck--though they have zero experience--on a journey back to wholeness." &mdash;Shelf Awareness

"One of the best crime thrillers hitting stores this year . . . and quite possibly the best novel set in one of Parker&rsquo;s universe since the iconic author passed away.&rdquo;--The Real Book Spy

If, like me, you are unabashedly selfish and get your children's books according to what you favour as anadult blessed, if not with wealth, at least with taste (plus a low boredom threshold) as opposed to the tedious ubiquity the global merchandisers would prefer you to buy your babies' minds with (Peppa Pig, I'm looking at you), then Jane Foster has to be your go-to in board book land.It suddenly reminds me of when I was crossing Fifth Avenue and actually overheard one shopper say to another: "Fendi. It's my go-to."

&ldquo;Julia Child paved the way for Chez Panisse and so many others by demystifying French food and by reconnecting pleasure and delight with cooking and eating at the table. She brought forth a culture of American ingredients and gave us all the confidence to cook with them in the pursuit of flavor.&rdquo; &mdash;Alice Waters, Chez Panisse&ldquo;Julia is . . . the grande dame of cooking, who has touched all of our lives with her immense respect and appreciation of cuisine.&rdquo; &mdash;Emeril Lagasse, Emeril&rsquo;s Restaurant&ldquo;Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term &lsquo;haute cuisine.&rsquo; She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining. Through the years her shows have kept me in rapt attention, and her humor has kept me in stitches. She is a national treasure, a culinary trendsetter, and a born educator beloved by all.&rdquo; &mdash;Thomas Keller, The French Laundry&ldquo;Julia freed the American public from their fears of cooking French. By doing so, she greatly expanded the audience for all serious food writers. Her demystification prepared that public for the rest of us. I believe that the television shows based on that landmark book did even more to encourage reluctant cooks to try their hands . . . much to our benefit.&rdquo; &mdash;Mimi Sheraton
