Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fairytale story and cleverly designed plot that is full of symbolism having to do with the Russian soul and nature. It's a nice, relaxing read with beautiful language and descriptions of the Russian folkways. The Russian-Afghanistan war is mentioned as a gross afterthought, but not too heavily so as to distract the reader from the main story about a Russian girl coming of age and losing her English expatriate father in Egypt. Even the hardships of the Russian poor and the father's imprisonment are crafted so as to present a glimpse of present social situations without being overdone. All in all, it's a lovely tale with strong characters that give the reader a taste of Eastern life, its joys and its difficulties.

Book excerpt: A leading economist, “who may very well turn out to be this decade’s Thomas Friedman” (Wall Street Journal), illuminates the state of American food today. Tyler Cowen, one of the most influential economists of the last decade, wants you to know that just about everything you’ve heard about how to get good food is wrong. Drawing on a provocative range of examples from around the globe, Cowen reveals why airplane food is bad, but airport food is improving, why restaurants full of happy, attractive people usually serve mediocre meals, and why American food has improved as Americans drink more wine. At a time when obesity is on the rise and forty-four million Americans receive food stamps, An Economist Gets Lunch will revolutionize the way we eat today—and show us how we’re going to feed the world tomorrow.
