This is a true story of the “American Dream, which author John Schissler Jr. wishes would come true for everybody today. John Schissler, Jr. appropriately named this autobiography, I Teach; Therefore I Can, because he came to a country where he could. He earned a college degree, which enabled him to teach, an aspiration he had since his high school days. His parents had had only a 4th grade education in Croatia and, therefore, stressed for him the importance of an education. Mr. Schissler’s love for teaching is the primary focus of this autobiography. Come along with his 32 years’ journey as he poignantly displays the art of his profession. If you think you know English rather well, then allow Mr. Schissler to take you on a fascinating language tour through Italy, Germany, and Great Britain. Follow this trilinguist’s destination to Newspeak, Doublespeak, and Textspeak. Watch this wordsmith, with a flair for fun, work on the curious nuances of the Latin, German, and English languages. Share in his levity for teaching and fondness for coaching, which he exhibited toward his students and athletes almost on a daily basis. In his retirement, Schissler bemoans the lack of respectability for his beloved profession. People insist that education is the panacea for all of today’s societal ills. This seasoned teacher, John Schissler, demonstrates how not only is it a necessity for our society to thrive but also for our democracy to survive.

AS SEEN IN THE NEW DOCUMENTARY JEREMIAH TOWER: THE LAST MAGNIFICENT Newly revised and reissued to coincide with The Last Magnificent, a documentary feature produced by Anthony Bourdain, the indelible and entertaining memoir from Jeremiah Tower which chronicles life at the front lines of redefining modern American cuisine. Widely recognized as the godfather of modern American cooking, Jeremiah Tower is one of the most influential cooks of the last forty years. In 2004, he rocked the culinary world with a tell-all story of his lifelong love affair with food, and the restaurants and people along the way. In this newly revised edition of his memoir, retitled Start the Fire, Tower shares with wit and honesty his insights into cooking, chefs, celebrities, and what really goes on in the kitchen. Above all, Tower rhapsodizes about food—the meals choreographed like great ballets, the menus scored like concertos. No other book reveals more about the seeds sown in the seventies, the excesses of the eighties, and the self-congratulations of the nineties. With a new introduction by the author, Start the Fire is an essential account of the most important years in the history of American cooking, from one of its singular personalities.

An astronomical gastronomical undertaking —one of the world's preeminent restaurant critics takes on the giants of haute cuisine, one tasting menu at a time Like the luxury fashion companies Gucci and Chanel, high-end dining has gone global, and Jay Rayner has watched, amazed, as the great names of the restaurant business have turned themselves from artisans into international brands. Long suspecting that his job was too good to be true, Rayner uses his entrée into this world to probe the larger issues behind the globalization of dinner. Combining memoir with vivid scenes at the table; interviews with the world's most renowned chefs, restaurateurs, and eaters; and a few well-placed rants and raves about life as a paid gourmand, Rayner puts his thoughtful, innovative, and hilarious stamp on food writing. He reports on high-end gastronomy from Vegas to Dubai, Moscow to Tokyo, London to New York, ending in Paris where he attempts to do with Michelin-starred restaurants what Morgan Spurlock did with McDonald's in Super Size Me—eating at those establishments on consecutive days and never refusing a sixteen-course tasting menu when it's offered. The Man Who Ate the World is a fascinating and riotous look at the business and pleasure of fine dining.
