Paperback. Etat : Very Good. On the wild river that divides Namibia from Angola, members of the Himba tribe herd cattle as they have done for hundreds of years. The women wear thick coils of jewelry and skirts of animal skin; there are monkeys in the palm trees and love birds breed nearby. Where Fire Speaks documents the lives of the Himba, and time spent around the fire, where it is believed their ancestors reside, speaking to them and connecting them to their past. But the world of the Himba sits in the shadow of third-world development and the inevitability of change that threatens their way of life; now, they are more likely to attend evangelical church services, congregate around the liquor trader's truck, journey to the big town to visit the hospital, and pose for tourists' photographs. Sandra Shields and David Campion spent two months living with the Himba, and this book, a provocative melding of images and narrative, tells the kind of story that other publications mention only in passing, the story that is the unspoken subtext of many a travel adventure. The profound changes in the lives of the Himba--both gradual and immediate#8212which the authors bear witness to are a testament to those effecting indigenous people around the world. Where Fire Speaks also takes an unflinching look at what we do in order to satisfy our obsession with documenting the exotic "other." The act of taking photographs lies at the heart of this book. The terrain being explored here is caught in the question that one Himba headman put to a film crew: "Why are you all so interested in us, anyway?" Full of small revelations and grand gestures, Where Fire Speaks is a new kind of photo documentary book which depicts the once-exotic frontier as a place of great human truths. It provides a unique opportunity for readers to stand with the Himba and experience for themselves the meaning of the contact zone. Includes more than 100 black and white photographs. Winner, Hubert Evans Prize for Non-fiction.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Bronze Winner, Independent Publisher Book Award, Best Cookbook Received an Honourable Mention from the 2007 Cuisine Canada Award in the category of Canadian Food Culture Named one of the best cookbooks of the year, by The Montreal Gazette Today, increasing emphasis is being placed on the integrity of the way the food we eat is grown. We all dream about produce picked on a summer morning, making its way to our plates by noon. Christian Gaudreault, former owner of Vancouver's Tomato Fresh Food Cafe, has spent the last 15 years serving food straight from the farm with delicious results. Christian and his wife Star share their best-loved and most sought-after recipes; at the heart of the book is their simple philosophy: learn how to let farmers' fields and local markets determine your menus, and cooking at home can be fun and uncomplicated, as well as healthy. The beautiful yet deceptively simple recipes feature ingredients that are farm-fresh but widely available in every part of the country. For Christian and Star, part of the meal-making experience is about acknowledging and knowing where your food comes from. It's also about the communal experience of eating, particularly at the Tomato, a casual, soul-enriching place where people from all walks of life shared the common bond of food. The book features 32 full-colour photographs, as well as insightful sidebars on how to pick out the best produce and meats, essential products for the pantry, and of course, a history of the tomato, in all its juicy glory. Recipes include: Crab Cakes with Peppercorn Aioli, Pan-Seared Scallops with Mushroom Risotto, Grilled Long-Bone Pork Chop with Pear Chutney, Roasted Tomato and Artichoke Salad, Mediterranean Couscous Salad, Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho, Lemon Meringue Tart, and Peach Blueberry Galette.…
