Amazon.com: Books: The Book of Green Tea (#)
„I picked up this book because I was looking for a source of "recipes" for soaps and other bad items using green tea, and was pleasantly surprised to find it's a veritable encyclopedia of information on green tea. I was already fairly well-versed in the various "cultures" of green tea in China and Japan, and the author does a nice job of summarizing this for the reader, including not just various ways to prepare it, but also giving a quick primer on the needed utensils. Finally, the green tea ice cream recipe is a keeper (though I cut the number of egg yolks from 3 to 5, and leave out the lemon rind, nutmeg, and half the vanilla which overpower the delicate green tea flavor). Great all-around book on a product that's as healthy as it is enjoyable.“

„While I was honored to be a student at Le Fey at La Varenne the summer of 99, I was also delighted to see the approval copy of this book on her coffee table. The books reads just as she speaks. Her extensive knowledge gains respect with anyone who has been in any kitchen, and her personable style makes it a delightful journey to France for those who have traveled there, or those who hope to soon.“

„From there, it's pretty much downhill. Yes, there continue to be obscure cultural and musical signposts (such as the very next cut, "Canto di Lavoro," with its strange combination of hip-hop and psychedelic sensibilities), but over all, the remainder is American listener-friendly, although certainly not without its somewhat alien-European sensibility, such as their take on heavy-metal jazz ("Blues East and West") wrapped around a "Flight of the Bumblebee" cello. OK, maybe it's not that listener-friendly; maybe it's just plain weird, such as the horror-movie soundtrack selection, "Il Domitore," or the neo-Naw'leans workout, "Ramble," also containing a faux-Western Swing vibe. Plus, what's with the sampled harpsichord sprinkled throughout a bunch of throwaway tunes?“

„Wanting to write about coffee in the mid-1980s, I had come to San Francisco to hang out at espresso bars, which at the time were hard to find. On the very first day of my trip, someone told me I was in luck: just then was the annual meeting of the Specialty Coffee Association of America, a small and fairly new group, and if I wangled an invitation to its opening cocktail reception, I could get a jump-start on my research. I thought my time would be better spent ordering espresso, but I went anyway. I knew I loved coffee.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Making of Portuguese Democracy
„"Maxwell provides a fascinating account, succinct yet comprehensive, of the turmoil that followed the April 1974 coup that overthrew what was left of the authoritarian regime built by António Salazar." Foreign Affairs "Maxwell tells the story with a vividness and richness of detail that makes his a 'rattling good yarn.'" Comparative Politics "...potent and persuasive combination of academic strength and literary merit...fully deserves to become standard reading for all students of Portuguese history and politics." Ronald Cueto, International Affairs "Maxwell brilliantly weaves together a discussion of events in Lisbon with critical moments in Portugal's erstwhile colonial empire in Africa, Europe's last, where the bulk of the Portuguese armed forces had been stationed since the early 1960s, engaged in a three-front war against independence movements in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau." American Political Science Review "Maxwell tells the story with a vividness and richness of detail that makes his a 'rattling good yarn.'" Comparative Politics "The first synthesis and best introduction in English to the Portuguese revolution...the most innovative aspect of Kenneth Maxwell's book is the excellent integration of the Portuguese transition into its international dynamic; this is simultaneously a history of the transition and of decolonization, the indivisibility of which is well captured in the narrative." António Costa Pinto in Expresso, Lisbon "The first serious and rigorous analysis of the foundation of the post authoritarian regime...that will become without a doubt the basic point of reference in English for this period. The principal virtue of Kenneth Maxwell's book is his capacity to articulate the vision of the historian with the rigor of political analysis." Carlos Gaspar in Diário de Noticias, Lisbon“

„"Every Move She Makes" stars San Francisco Police Inspector Kate Gillespie, a smart, tough police office with a weakness for latte's and a certain IA investigator that she can't get too close to....add into the mix an untrustworth ex, a solid mystery, and the beautiful background of San Francisco and you have all the ingredients of a good book. I hope Inspector Gillespie enjoys a nice long run, I am very much looking forward to more!“
