The Face of America's Homeless

Finding Grace: The Face of America's Homeless
by Lynn Blodgett

An amateur photographer from the age of ten, Lynn Blodgett studied under Andrew Eccles, a renowned photographer who was selected by the New York Times to shoot the cover of their millennium issue.

Also a businessman, Blodgett travels the country as head of the nation's largest provider of computer-based services to state and local governments. During his travels, he began keeping a photographic journal of the homeless people he met, along with their stories, in every city he visited.

The result is "Finding Grace," a powerful collection of words and images that show how people who often go through life ignored and reviled manage to endure the grimmest of life's circumstances with grace and humility.

Italian Vegetarian Cooking

Happy Meatless Monday! We're looking forward to the release of our first cookbook, featuring vegetarian Italian recipes from the owners and proprietors of the Country House Montali.

From the renowned kitchens of Umbria's celebrated hotel, Country House Montali, comes Vegeterranean, a collection of gourmet dishes steeped in the flavors of Italy and the Mediterranean. These recipes evoke the very essence of the region's cooking: the heavy fragrance of thyme and rosemary; the sound and smell of shimmering tomatoes; the musky aromas of cinnamon and saffron. Italian classics such as calzone, ravioli, gnocchi, and lasagna are transformed into stylish, contemporary dishes, while recipes such as Spiedini Primavera (Spring Vegetable Skewers) and Cappuccino di Asparagi (Asparagus Cappuccino) take advantage of each ingredient at its seasonal peak. 

Stock your pantry with homemade sauces, stocks, and pesto, and learn how to make fresh pasta and other essentials with which to prepare vegetarian masterpieces. Chapters on first and second courses, as well as starters, sides, breads, desserts, and even breakfast round out this collection.

Vegeterranean showcases the richness and diversity of modern vegetarian cooking and is a must-have for anyone who wants to perfect the art of preparing fresh, local produce or simply needs inspiration in the kitchen.

Global Warning

Sebastian Copeland witnessed the accelerated devastation of the Antarctic ice shelf while aboard the research vessel the Ice Lady Patagonia on behalf of Global Green. He uncovered both the awesome beauty of Antarctica and the alarming warnings made visible through his lens. Here he shares images of not only otherworldly glaciers, fields and fjords but also clear signs of the massive inroads that climate change has made on the continent.

River at Risk

One of the world's mightiest rivers, the Colorado, no longer reaches the sea. Every drop of river water is allocated to agriculture and populations along the way, many of whom don't even realize their connection to the river. No water remains for the Colorado Delta, once a thriving estuary that supported the most diverse biosphere in North America. Grand Canyon: A River at Risk delivers a message of hope and inspiration for all people of the world.
