Where there's Smoke there's Fire! And where there's fire, there's Steven Raichlen. Following the breakout success of Project Smoke, the New York Times bestseller that brought Raichlen's Barbecue! Bible series to a new generation, comes Project Fire - a stunning, full-color celebration of the best of contemporary grilling from America's master of live-fire cooking. No one knows his way around a grill like Steven Raichlen, and no one is better equipped to teach us how to deliver its best performance. Drawing on a combination of classic and boldly contemporary techniques, here are 100 inspired recipes that capture the full range of what grillers want to cook today. Consider your basic steak. Raichlen starts with the iconic - T-bone grilled over direct heat, smartly tattooed with grill marks and lavished, the way the pros do it, with sizzling beef fat. Then he teaches a technique new to most of us - reverse-searing, which allows you to grill a monster steak, like a beef tomahawk, to perfection while also imparting a haunting smoky flavor. Of course, there's a Caveman Sirloin - meat seared right on the coals, as dramatic as grilling gets. Plus here's how to blow-torch a veal chop. Spit-roast whole cauliflower on a rotisserie. Grill mussels in hay, squash on a salt slab, salmon steaks on a shovel over a campfire. From breakfast (Bacon and Egg Quesadilla) to cocktails (Grilled Sangria) , from veggies (Caveman Cabbage and Smoke-Roasted Carrots) to dessert (Grilled "Pia Colada" and Cedar Planked Pears with Amaretti and Marscapone) , Project Fire offers a radically righteous new take on live-fire cooking from the man who reinvented modern American grilling.

The Hidden Life of Trees
By Wohlleben, Peter
A forester's fascinating stories, supported by the latest scientific research, reveal the extraordinary world of forests and illustrate how trees communicate and care for each other. In "The Hidden Life of Trees, " Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forests and explains the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in the woodland and the amazing scientific processes behind the wonders of which we are blissfully unaware. Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions, trees in a family or community are protected and can live to be very old. In contrast, solitary trees, like street kids, have a tough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group. Drawing on groundbreaking new discoveries, Wohlleben presents the science behind the secret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities; he describes how these discoveries have informed his own practices in the forest around him.
