"Most Americans have never heard of African American chef and cookbook author Edna Lewis. Despite her importance—she inspired culinary luminaries such as Alice Waters, MFK Fisher and James Beard, and is considered the progenitor of the farm-to-table movement—Lewis never became a household name. Though Miss Lewis’s contributions to the food culture of this nation far surpassed those of many of her white contemporaries, she and her work have actively been forgotten. This book is vital, introducing a new generation of readers and eaters to the deeply important life and legacy of Miss Lewis."

Family friendly animated film, that basically turns the Yeti/Sasquatch/Bigfoot legend on its head: they exist (living in a society on the too of a mountain above the cloud line), don't believe humans do and are terrified of the same, basically believing humans to be monsters.

Following an accidental meeting, then, what follows is essentially a culture clash when a certain Big foot discovers (despite what he has always been told) that we do exist, and brings a 'Smallfoot' back to his people to prove his point. Said Smallfoot, however, might have his own agenda...

"I was a student when I read Orlando for the first time, and I remember how for many days afterwards I walked around in a happy daze. Daring to transcend boundaries of gender, class, history, culture, geography…. this is a story—Woolf called it a biography—like no other. Our hero wakes up and finds himself turned into a woman, and delightfully, this transition takes place in Istanbul—Constantinople. Orlando is a novel about transformations and journeys—from man into woman, from the West to the East, from one existence to the next and vice versa."
