|  | Writing at the Kitchen Table by Artemis Cooper
This biography of Elizabeth David (1913-1992) seeks to illuminate a life that was essentially mysterious. David's privileged childhood, her experiences as an actress, the charges of spying in fascist Italy, and her sojourn in Egypt during World War II--all are covered here, along with her London cookware shop, her husbands and lovers, and her emergence as one of the major food writers of the 20th century.

 | Fire at Eden's Gate
More than any other American leader of his time, he personified the fight to protect the environment. When so many other politicians talked about being environmentalists, McCall showed how one state could succeed in protecting its beaches, cleaning its rivers and conserving its land. When he told the world in 1971 that Oregon welcomed everyone to visit, But for heaven`s sake, don`t come here to live , he sighted a belief that livability stood tall in his state. Thoroughly researched and gracefully written, this biography addresses the many myths and controversies that surrounded McCall. The product of two once-powerful families, McCall had a hunger for adulation that dwarfed even his tall frame. An impetuous, flamboyant, imposing and outrageous showman, he fascinated America as a refreshingly candid and forthright politician. Republican by birthright, McCall became the conscience of his party, standing up to the hypocrisies of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew. Fire at Eden`s Gate unflinchingly reveals the saga of one of America`s most courageous politicians.
