"Alana Chernila, an author, teacher and blogger based in Massachusetts, starts her alluring new vegetable cookbook just the way springtime does, with radishes. She suggests radish butter, made with the tangy little bulbs chopped fine. Having opened the door to such seasonal simplicity, she goes on to explain how to buy, store and use vegetables 100 ways. This is not a vegan book; dairy, eggs and nuggets of meat are involved. Precious new potatoes with salsa verde, caramelized cabbage soup, soft zucchini on toast, and refreshing smashed cucumbers with soba noodles all tempted me." -Florence Fabricant, New York Times"In her latest cookbook,&#160;Eating from the Ground Up, author&#160;Alana Chernila&#160;explores simple, intuitive ways to showcase the textures and flavors of vegetables, from root to leaf."&#160;-Food52"Chernila makes you a better cook by showing how to coax the tastiest flavors from vegetables."&#160;-Cooking Light&#160;"If you haven't yet roasted a radish, prepare to be amazed. Cooking these edible roots, which have a punchy bite when raw, brings out their mellow side, says Alana Chernila, in her new book&#160;Eating from the Ground Up. She blasts them in a hot oven for a half-hour, then serves them with a lemon-feta-mint sauce. The result is a fabulous mash-up of hot and cool, sweet and tangy."&#160;-Oprah.com"[Chernila] provides invaluable advice for unlocking the flavors of vegetables, however mysterious or familiar."&#160;-Epoch Times"Writer and culinary instructor Alana Chernila offers delicious veggie-forward ideas for whatever new treasures you find at the farmers market." -Shape magazine

Praise for Magdalen Nabb&ldquo;The exquisite sensibility of Magdalen Nabb&rsquo;s police procedurals has all to do with the feeling of displacement that haunts her sensitively observed characters.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review "Every word should be savored."&mdash;Washington Post Book World "The   best mystery news in ages is that Soho is restoring to the canon   Magdalen Nabb and her tremendous creation, Marshal Guarnaccia of the   Italian Police in Florence."&mdash;Chicago Tribune "Nabb continues to extend conventions of the police procedural to suit her own intriguing vision and purpose."&mdash;The Philadelphia Inquirer

A brilliant spectrum where reality is just one possible colour&hellip; This book is just a gift. I am grateful to George Szirtes for making it possible for me to read it and praise it." &mdash;Michael Hofmann, The Times Literary Supplement"The Adventures follows a dream-weaving seducer, and Kr&uacute;dy&rsquo;s prose is appropriately seductive, a litany of long, languid, sighing sentences that introduce an element of enchantment to Sindbad&rsquo;s universe of provincial inns and restaurants in Pest where one might rendezvous with an actress or a goldsmith&rsquo;s wife....Sindbad&rsquo;s Adventures, then, are some of the loveliest violet-tinted lies ever put to paper&mdash;wreathed around some very nettling truths about what we call love." -- The L Magazine

"A spectacular book that provides access to the avenues and horizons of Tibetan monastic inquiry. Katherine Rogers's presentation opens the way to approach reasoning into reality." &mdash;Jeffrey Hopkins, author of Tsong-kha-pa's Final Exposition of Wisdom     "By providing an in-depth analysis of the logic used by Tibetan scholars, Kathy Rogers offers an important tool to all those who are interested in probing the depth of Tibetan Buddhist learning.

Highly recommended for the really serious student." &mdash;Georges Dreyfus, author of The Sound of Two Hands Clapping  "This excellent book offers essential insight into the rigorous tradition of logic that is the foundation of the intellectual tradition of the great Geluk monastic universities of Tibet.

Katherine Rogers's clear and engaging presentation illuminates this important topic." &mdash;Elizabeth Napper, author of Dependent-Arising and Emptiness  "The principles and methods of Buddhist logic can be a box of very useful tools both for our contemporary formal analytical meditations and for improving our thinking about the practice of the Dharma in our everyday lives and relationships with others. As well as dealing rigorously with the technical material, Katherine Rogers gets this wider practical point across clearly at every opportunity. . . .
