Title: The Man Who Changed the Way We Eat Subtitle: Craig Claiborne and the American Food Renaissance Author: Thomas McNamee Narrator: Dick Hill Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 05-28-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: In the 1950s, America was a land of overdone roast beef and canned green beans-a gastronomic wasteland. Most restaurants relied on frozen, second-rate ingredients and served bogus "Continental" cuisine. Authentic French, Italian, and Chinese foods were virtually unknown. There was no such thing as food criticism at the time, and no such thing as a restaurant critic. Cooking at home wasn't thought of as a source of pleasure. Guests didn't chat around the kitchen. Professional equipment and cookware were used only in restaurants. One man changed all that. From the best-selling author of Alice Waters and Chez Panisse comes the first biography of the passionate gastronome and troubled genius who became the most powerful force in the history of American food - the founding father of the American food revolution. From his first day in 1957 as the food editor of The New York Times, Craig Claiborne was going to take his readers where they had never been before. Claiborne extolled the pleasures of exotic cuisines from all around the world, and with his inspiration, restaurants of every ethnicity blossomed. So many things we take for granted now were introduced to us by Claiborne: crème fraîche, arugula, balsamic vinegar, the Cuisinart, chef's knives, even the salad spinner. He would give Julia Child her first major book review. He brought Paul Bocuse, the Troisgros brothers, Paul Prudhomme, and Jacques Pépin to national acclaim. His $4,000 dinner for two in Paris was a front-page story in the Times and scandalized the world. And while he defended the true French nouvelle cuisine against bastardization, he also reveled in a well-made stew or a good hot dog. He made home cooks into stars: Marcella Hazan, Madhur Jaffrey, Diana Kennedy, and many others. And Claiborne made dinner an event - whether dining out, delighting your friends, or simply cooking for your family. His own dinner parties were legendary. Claiborne was the perfect Mississippi gentleman, but his inner life was one of conflict and self-doubt. Constrained by his position to mask his sexuality, he was imprisoned in solitude, never able to find a stable and lasting love. Through Thomas McNamee's painstaking research and eloquent storytelling, The Man Who Changed the Way We Eat unfolds a history that is largely unknown and also tells the full, deep story of a great man who until now has never been truly known at all. Critic Reviews: "McNamee deftly explores the glittering public life and far-reaching contributions Claiborne made to America's food culture, as well as his troubled personal life. A highly readable, well-researched narrative chronicling America's boring culinary past and the one man who altered its course forever." (Kirkus)

Title: The Story of the Streets Author: Mike Skinner Narrator: Mike Skinner Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 04-26-12 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: "This book is going to try and get as close as possible to the full story of what informed the noise of The Streets. Obviously that's something I should be fairly well qualified to know about, and I'm going to be as honest as the publisher's lawyers will allow." With the 2001 release of The Streets' debut single "Has It Come to This?" the landscape of British popular music changed forever. No longer did home-grown rappers have to anxiously defer to transatlantic influences. Mike Skinner's witty, self-deprecating sagas of late-night kebab shops and skunk-fuelled Playstation sessions showed how much you could achieve simply by speaking in your own voice. In this thoroughly modern memoir, the man the Guardian once dubbed "half Dostoevsky half Samuel Pepys" tells a freewheeling, funny and fearlessly honest tale of Birmingham and London, ecstasy and epilepsy, Twitter-fear and Spectrum joysticks, spread betting and growing up. He writes of his musical inspirations, role models and rivals, the craft of song writing, and reflects on the successes and failures of the decade-long journey of The Streets.

Davenport Narrator: Julie Williams Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-11 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Learn about one of the most popular novelists of the 20th century in this well written, informative introduction. Perhaps best known for his seven-book children's series The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis also wrote extensively on religious topics concerning Christianity. Born to religious parents in Ireland, Lewis lost his faith as a young man but rediscovered it later in life through conversations with his friend and fellow author J.R.R. Tolkien. Lewis incorporated the central Christian virtues of fortitude, honesty, and faith into much of his work, including the Narnia books and The Screwtape Letters. His masterful ability to connect with audiences young and old continues to draw new readers and listeners, rightfully making C.S. Lewis one of modern literature's great names. This revised edition of C.S. Lewis delves into this thoughtful man's life, his well-known works, and his writings' influence on other writers. The book is published by Chelsea House Publishers, a leading publisher of educational material.

Title: The Life and Works of Liszt Author: Jeremy Siepmann Narrator: Jeremy Siepmann, Neville Jason Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-11 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: We celebrate the bi-centenary of Franz Liszts birth in 2011. His life was as daring and spectacular as his music. Famed throughout Europe as the greatest pianist of the 19th century, Liszt was one of the most original and prophetic composers who ever lived. Beautiful in youth, glowering in age, his high-profile love affairs were the talk of the town wherever he went and his generosity to young musicians was legendary. In this account of his epic life, actors readings combine with plentiful musical excerpts to paint a living portrait of a highly complex man. Editorial Reviews: The life, music, and career of Franz Liszt were equally unconventional and groundbreaking for his time. Siepmann's concise biography defines Liszt's glamour and mystique, and the accompanying musical selections highlight what was so distinctive and revolutionary in the great composer/pianist's work. The text, narrated by Siepmann, with Neville Jason narrating as Liszt, is well paced and illuminating. Additional voices render contemporary letters and journals. The center of this production is the musical selections, which pick up their cue from the text and expand our understanding and appreciation of the music for its own sake and for the tumultuous life that produced it - and for life itself, in all its beauty, tumult, and mystery.
