THE ACCIDENTAL BAKER, a cake for every crisis, is a courageous memoir, revealing a near perfect life and marriage gone wrong A mother, homemaker and social hostess in an ideal house and family in the affluent suburb of West Vancouver, Canada, Barbara's reality became a nightmare when her husband of thirty years lost his income, sank into alcoholism and died. Widowed, destitute and soon to be homeless, she realized 'no white knight' was going to ride in and save her. She needed a plan. Barbara turned to her talent for food preparation and baking and found her niche market in the culinary world. Using only her homemaker experience, she opened 'Cuisine de Barbara' a private cooking school. Soon Bon App tit Magazine featured Barbara in an amazing spread of ten pages, propelling her onto an executive position in San Francisco. After six years in this corporate world, she was downsized out of her high powered job. Networking and her own creativity saved her again. She opened FunFrance Travels, a boutique food and wine travel company plus The Beideman Street Group, her own food consulting business. In her memoir, The Accidental Baker, food was the common theme; it flowed like a silky ribbon throughout her life, giving credibility and warmth to every crisis. The lessons learned on the road to success make for great reading and baking. This story sends a powerful message: your dreams are within your reach. You can do it A memoir with recipes.
Melanie a 66 year old married woman was living her life much as a plane in a holding pattern: circling the sky but unable to land. She had a good job, a husband and a beautiful home, blessed with wonderful children and the ability to do most things she wanted. But there was a big void: love, romance and connection. Until one day a Facebook message from an old high school classmate came across her monitor. Her life changed on a dime, only she didn't know it then, taking her down a path of love, romance, pain, confusion and then a miraculous transformation.It's never too late to believe in yourself enough to roll the dice one more time...but at what price?The novel follows one woman's quest to rediscover herself in ways she had forgotten existed. My hope is that the story will be an inspiration for others to achieve romantic love and fulfillment. This book is about confidence, taking risks, and making good use all of the 1,440 minutes of each day.
Mother and infant negotiate over food; two high-status males jockey for power; female kin band together to get their way. It happens among humans and it happens among our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom, the great apes of Africa. In this eye-opening book, we see precisely how such events unfold in chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas: through a spontaneous, mutually choreographed dance of actions, gestures, and vocalizations in which social partners create meaning and come to understand each other. Using dynamic systems theory, an approach employed to study human communication, Barbara King is able to demonstrate the genuine complexity of apes' social communication, and the extent to which their interactions generate meaning. As King describes, apes create meaning primarily through their body movements--and go well beyond conveying messages about food, mating, or predators. Readers come to know the captive apes she has observed, and others across Africa as well, and to understand "the process of creating social meaning."This new perspective not only acquaints us with our closest living relatives, but informs us about a possible pathway for the evolution of language in our own species. King's theory challenges the popular idea that human language is instinctive, with rules and abilities hardwired into our brains. Rather, The Dynamic Dance suggests, language has its roots in the gestural "building up of meaning" that was present in the ancestor we shared with the great apes, and that we continue to practice to this day.
For more than four decades, biblical experts have tried to place the story of Exodus into historical context--without success. What could explain the Nile turning to blood, insects swarming the land, and the sky falling to darkness? Integrating biblical accounts with substantive archaeological evidence, The Parting of the Sea looks at how natural phenomena shaped the stories of Exodus, the Sojourn in the Wilderness, and the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Barbara Sivertsen demonstrates that the Exodus was in fact two separate exoduses both triggered by volcanic eruptions--and provides scientific explanations for the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. Over time, Israelite oral tradition combined these events into the Exodus narrative known today. Skillfully unifying textual and archaeological records with details of ancient geological events, Sivertsen shows how the first exodus followed a 1628 B.C.E Minoan eruption that produced all but one of the first nine plagues. The second exodus followed an eruption of a volcano off the Aegean island of Yali almost two centuries later, creating the tenth plague of darkness and a series of tsunamis that "parted the sea" and drowned the pursuing Egyptian army. Sivertsen's brilliant account explains inconsistencies in the biblical story, fits chronologically with the conquest of Jericho, and confirms that the Israelites were in Canaan before the end of the sixteenth century B.C.E. In examining oral traditions and how these practices absorb and process geological details through storytelling, The Parting of the Sea reveals how powerful historical narratives are transformed into myth.

Robertson's first book of the trilogy chronicling the Legend of John Mason.The officers and crew of the massive mining freighter, "Hesperia," fly six hundred miners beyond the Kuiper Belt to the asteroid mining fields, on its maiden seven-year mission in deep space. Believing they are working with in an isolated sector of space, they unexpectedly encounter a highly advanced reptilian alien race, whose intentions are unknown.

But after his attempted murder during cryo-sleep, he is now suspicious of everyone, except those few he considers his new family. At the heart of the mystery is an enigmatic octagonal tube no one can open, or understand its strange etched symbols; yet it holds the key to their struggles. Mason uses all his great strength, and considerable powers of intuition to thwart hundreds of mutinying miners and traitors from the ship's own ranks. He must suppress his loneliness and emotions to protect the woman he loves, and the loyal officers fighting to maintain control of the ship. Will Mason be able to defeat the mutineers and win the battles out in deep space, fighting to make it home to Earth, alive?

Agricultural Beginnings in the American Southwest
Barbara J. Roth

How did agriculture come about in the American Southwest? What environmental and social factors led to the cultivation of plants? How, in turn, did the use of these new agricultural products affect the ancient peoples living in the region? In pursuit of answers to these questions, Barbara Roth synthesizes data from both CRM and academic research to explore the emergence and impact of Southwestern agriculture. Roth examines agricultural beginnings across the entire Southwest, both northern and southern, and across culture groups residing there. Beyond simply addressing the arrival and widespread adoption of specific cultigens, she pays particular attention to human factors such as patterns of production and variability in agricultural developments. Her consideration of broad social and environmental dynamics affecting forager diets and adaptive strategies sheds new light on what we know—and what we should ask—about the transition from foraging to farming.

Times of Transformation positions the watershed 1921 federal election in the context of activist efforts and the revolutionary mood in the years following the Great War. New Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King, who went on to become Canada's longest-serving prime minister, came to power, with his party capturing every Quebec seat. This election brought many Canadian firsts: the first post-Confederation minority government, the first time women were eligible to vote on terms equal to men, and the first effective fracturing of the two-party system, with the establishment of a federal Labour party and the dramatic rise of the Progressives.These changes had been brewing before the end of the war. The Progressive party owed its success to the increased politicization of farmers and the concerns of the western voting base. Suffrage came after a decades-long battle for political rights for women. Labour strikes swept the nation in the post–Great War era, and a new national Labour party gained Commons representation. In short, this election manifested long-building forces for change and the global zeitgeist of postwar disillusionment and hope.
