Loving cake is a natural part of Warren Brownâ??s constitution. Now, in order to form a more perfect union of flour, eggs, butter, and sugar, heâ??s offering his unique take on classic dessert recipes from all fifty states, plus Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
Â
Starting out with Baked Alaska (what else?), Brown tours the whole country, updating regional confections like King Cake (Louisiana), Lady Baltimore Cake (South Carolina), Mud Cake (Mississippi), and Key Lime Pie (Florida). There are official state desserts (Marylandâ??s Smith Island Cake; Massachusettsâ?? Boston Cream Pie) and unofficial favorites (New YorkÂ?style Cheesecake; St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake), as well as an ovenful of brand-new baked treats that Brown has created to honor specific statesâ?? agricultural bounty (Avocado Cupcakes for California; Huckleberry Cake for Idaho). Eye-catching photos, informative sidebars, and a separate section on buttercream frostings complete the mix.

The Essence of Capitalism: The Origins of Our Future
Posted by admin on November 4, 2011

The Essence of Capitalism is a timely account of globalization, the consumer culture, and the historical roots of our contemporary dilemmas. By tracking the 130-year history of Coca-Cola (and a number of other large American or transnational corporations), this book details all that is best, worst and most powerful about global capitalism.
Using Coca-Colaâ??s rise as a case study, here is the tale of how Coca-Cola employed marketing and business practices that enabled it to expand beyond its original market (that which a horse-drawn cart could cover in a day) to -todayâ??s massive corporate status. Through the use of the franchise, extreme quality control and powerful marketing, it shows how Coca-Colaâ??a company with virtually one product that nobody actually needs and that is, in its original sugar-laden form, plainly very bad for peopleâ??went from being a feel-good tonic in competition with more than a thousand other similar drinks to being the major market force for soft drinks.
The book covers topics such as the creation of the idea of a corporation having the status of a person, how the money market works in the flow of capital, the effect of marketing and advertising on consumer tastes and how free trade really becomes oligopoly. By presenting a frightening set of examples, McQueen even joins the debate over what constitutes human nature when he demonstrates how corporations are creating a second nature by altering our needs, whether through the saturation of food with sweeteners or through genetic manipulation.
Humphrey McQueen, an original and provocative thinker, features regularly as a commentator on Australian radio, and as a contributor to various newspapers and magazines. He is the author of more than a dozen books on subjects ranging through history, politics and the visual arts.
