Turin Shroud: How Leonardo Da Vinci Fooled History
by Lynn Picknett Clive PrinceIn 1988, carbon dating of the world's most famous Christian relic revealed that it was a mediaeval or Renaissance forgery. Yet many questions remained. How could a hoaxer of 500 or more years ago have created an image that appears so astonishingly lifelike when seen in photographic negative? How was such an image formed? And who would have dared fake the Holy Shroud of Jesus? Setting out to answer these questions, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince discovered that the faker was none other than Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance artist, scientist, inventor - and hoaxer - whose innovations are acknowledged to have been centuries ahead of his time. They also reconstructed Leonardo's secret technique - becoming the first ever to recreate the Shroud image.Now revised and updated, sensationally the new 2006 edition of Turin Shroud presents the long-lost hard evidence to link the Shroud of Turin directly with Leonardo da Vinci. Perhaps this is even his 'confession' to having faked Christianity's most sacred relic, which will astonish both believers and sceptics alike, and present a new challenge to historians of both art and photography.

The Turk Who Loved Apples: And Other Tales of Losing My Way Around the World
by Matt GrossWhile writing his celebrated Frugal Traveler column for the New York Times, Matt Gross began to feel hemmed in by its focus on what he thought of as "traveling on the cheap at all costs." When his editor offered him the opportunity to do something less structured, the Getting Lost series was born, and Gross began a more immersive form of travel that allowed him to "lose his way all over the globe"--from developing-world megalopolises to venerable European capitals, from American sprawl to Asian archipelagos. And that's what the never-before-published material in The Turk Who Loved Apples is all about: breaking free of the constraints of modern travel and letting the place itself guide you. It's a variety of travel you'll love to experience vicariously through Matt Gross--and maybe even be inspired to try for yourself.

Turnip Greens & Tortillas: A Mexican Chef Spices Up the Southern Kitchen
by Eddie Hernandez Susan PuckettFrom the chef/restaurateur of a Bon Appétit “Top American Restaurant,” southern fare with a Mexican flair that is “thrifty, practical and delicious” (New York Times).USA Today called Taqueria del Sol “a runaway success.” Bon Appétit wrote: “Move over, Chipotle!” The fast-casual food of Eddie Hernandez, the James Beard-nominated chef/co-owner of the restaurant, lands on the commonalities of Southern and Mexican food, with dishes like Memphis barbecue pork tacos, chicken pot pie served in a “bowl” of a puffed tortilla, turnip greens in “pot likker” spiked with chiles, or the “Eddie Palmer,” sweet tea with a jab of tequila. Eddie never hesitates to break with purists to make food taste better, adding sugar to creamy grits to balance the jalapeños, or substituting tomatillos in fried green tomatoes for a more delicate texture. Throughout, “Eddie’s Way” sidebars show how to make each dish even more special. “Eddie Hernandez cooks my type of food—honest, thrifty, and full of flavor—using fresh, inexpensive, and ordinary ingredients.” —Jacques Pépin “In our world, Eddie is a culinary innovator as inspiring as Thomas Keller, René Redzepi, or Madhur Jaffrey.” —Matt Lee and Ted Lee, authors, The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen “From refried black-eyed peas to chicken–green chile potpies in puffy tortilla shells, Turnip Greens & Tortillas showcases honest and joyous cooking from the modern South.” —John T. Edge, author, The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South “This book resonates with recipes that glorify home cooking from the South as well as Mexico and melds them together in a deliciously satisfying way.” —Nathalie Dupree, author, Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking
