In addition to its lefty humor, Apocalypse Cakes contains real, delicious recipes. I just tried out the Chernobyl White Russian Cupcakes and my coworkers unanimously loved them. Perfect for irreverent bakers who'd rather laugh at our problems than weep.
A very readable memoir about Streb's life's work pushing the boundary of what the human body can do. I recommend it even if you aren't usually interested in books about dance/movement.
In 2007, Goldman lost his wife of two years in a freak accident. His amazing, poignant memoir is both an account of surviving grief and a love letter to the woman who changed his life.
Class Action details a pivotal case in sexual harassment law and tells the stories of the women involved. As someone interested in the law in general (as a lay person) and sex/gender issues in particular, I found this book to be immensely readable as well as infuriating. I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about discrimination in any form. If you don't, consider reading it anyway--maybe it will change your mind!
These cakes are beyond stunning. Although I'm an avid baker, I don't have the skill or patience to make creations so painstaking, but I love looking through this book for fun.
