For God, Country, and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company That Makes It

Now fully updated, the classic account of how a bottle of sweetened caramel-colored soda water became synonymous with American capitalism

For God, Country and Coca-Cola is the unauthorized history of the great American soft drink and the company that makes it. From its origins as a patent medicine in Reconstruction Atlanta through its rise as the dominant consumer beverage of the American century, the story of Coke is as unique, tasty, and effervescent as the drink itself. With vivid portraits of the entrepreneurs who founded the company-and of the colorful cast of hustlers, swindlers, ad men, and con men who have made Coca-Cola the most recognized trademark in the world-this is business history at its best: in fact, "The Real Thing."

For God, Country, and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company That Makes It by Mark Pendergrast is available at Amazon for $15.61. To order click here.

The Little Book of Lipo: Everything You Need to Know About Liposuction but Didn't Know to Ask

Unlike most books on cosmetic surgery that do a broad brush of all options and procedures, “The Little Book of Lipo” is a true insider’s guide to the most popular surgery in the country: liposuction, its pros, cons, and how to prepare, get the most out of it, and recover safely and fast. Not only does author Carol Martin give you the power to analyze whether to lipo or not to lipo, she offers a step-by-step consumer’s guide on how to choose a top surgeon, from checking credentials to a list of questions to ask, how to prepare your house, friends, family, overcome any fears, the right diet and danger signs to look for while healing—everything you need to know but didn’t know to ask. “You can trust what you learn from this book. There is no agenda here except to educate the consumer,” says Dr. Vince Zubowicz, a top Atlanta plastic surgeon who wrote the forward. “You won’t find this kind of unbiased information in the yellow pages or a website.”

The Little Book of Lipo: Everything You Need to Know About Liposuction but Didn't Know to Ask by Carol Martin is available at Amazon for $19.45. To order click here.

The Art of Pizza Making: Trade Secrets and Recipes

In Author’s words : Pizza is America's favorite food. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't like it. This coalition of dough and toppings can be as diverse as any ethnic cuisine; it's not just a round pie with sauce and cheese. If ten people followed the same pizza recipe, each would get different results, reflecting his or her own individuality. So it must be concluded that pizza making is an art, and not just an assemblage of ingredients.

This book is the culmination of over twenty-five years of research and development. During this period, numerous interviews were conducted with retired pizzeria owners, active owners would never divulge their trade secrets, and artisans in the commercial baking industry. As with any artist, some of my creations were influenced by other artists, from pizzerias in the U.S. and in Italy (my mother was born and raised in Italy).

Although I am an engineer by trade, pizza making is my passion. Each year I go through hundreds of pounds of flour, sharing my pizzas with friends and family, while accumulating valuable feedback on each new recipe. My inspiration to write this book was the lack of availability of an adequate pizza cookbook; I've yet to see a cookbook on the market that contains even the basic fundamentals about making professional quality pizza.

The Art of Pizza Making: Trade Secrets and Recipes by Dominick A. DeAngelis and Suzanne Ling is available at Amazon for $12.91. To order click here.

More books for all Pizza fans.
