American Pie $27.99 In the course of his extraordinary career as a baker, culinary instructor, and author, Peter Reinhart has dedicated himself to exploring the passions and techniques behind the great breads of the world. His most recent pursuit has been pizza–a seemingly simple food that has been hotly debated since Italian immigrants brought it to American more than a century ago. Allegiances run from the general (Chicago- versus New York-style, Neapolitan versus Sicilian) to the particular (Pepe’s versus Sally’s, Gino’s East versus Pizzeria Uno), and newfangled versions like sushi pizza are extending the frontier. In AMERICAN PIE, Reinhart follows the pizza trail from Italy to the States, capturing the stories behind the greatest artisanal pizzas of the Old World and the New. |

Park Ridge $21.99 In 1835, immigrants began to arrive from New York and New England to the area first called Pennyville, later renamed Brickton to reflect its leading industry, then finally incorporated as the Village of Park Ridge in 1873. The name originates from the village”s park-like setting and an erroneous belief that the ridge at Johnston”s Circle–today the three-way intersection of Touhy, Prospect, and Northwest Highway–was the highest point in Cook County. Notable names associated with Park Ridge include Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and actor Harrison Ford, who both attended Maine East High School; Chicago Cubs great Ron Santo, who operated a popular pizzeria in town; and painter Grant Wood, whose American Gothic is one of the 20th century”s great works of Americana. Anchored by the landmark Pickwick Theater, a fine example of art deco architecture built in 1928, downtown Park Ridge has changed much over the years, a transformation captured so well in the pages of this book. |

Any job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable. Scores of people suffer each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary, and frustrated.

Nothing. People just looked at one another as though Brian had asked the question in Russian. Okay, let me be clearer, he smiled. How many people here get excited about coming to work? How many of you are in a good mood when you re driving here every day? Brian might as well have asked them if they liked being beaten with a stick. No one raised their hand. A few of them actually laughed out loud.
