Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

A lavishly illustrated ode to the joys of Tuscany's people, food, landscapes, and art, from the bestselling author of Under the Tuscan Sun and See You in the Piazza
 
"A love letter to Italy written in precise and passionate language of near-poetic density."--Newsday
 
In Tuscany celebrates the abundant pleasures of life in Italy as it is lived at home, at festivals, feasts, restaurants and markets, in the kitchen and on the piazza, in the vineyards, fields, and olive groves.  Combining essays by Frances Mayes and a chapter by her husband, poet Edward Mayes, with more than 200 full-color photos by photographer Bob Krist, each of this book's five sections highlights a signature aspect of Tuscan life:

La Piazza: the locus of Italian village life. With photographs of the shop signs, the outdoor markets, medieval streets, people, their pets and their cars, and snippets of conversations overheard, Mayes reveals the life of the Piazza in her town of Cortona as well as out-of-the-way places such as Volterra, Asciano, Monte San Savino, and Castelmuzio.

La Festa: the celebration. Essays and photos of feasts and celebrations, such as the Christmas dinner for twenty-seven at a neighbor's house and a donkey race around the church at Montepulciano Stazione, illustrate how the Tuscans celebrate the seasons--their open ways of friendship, their connection to nature, and most of all, their sense of abundance.

Il Campo: the field. Here Edward Mayes evokes the deep sense of the shift of seasons as he picks olives before he and Frances head off to the olive oil mill and enjoy the first bruscette with new oil.

La Cucina: the kitchen. An intimate view of the all-important role of the kitchen in Tuscan culture, including photographs of her own kitchen and gardens, menus from great local cooks, the elements of the Tuscan table, dishes with cultural and culinary notes on each, and, of course, delectable recipes.

La Bellezza: the beauty. From the quality of the light falling on sublime landscapes in different seasons and Tuscan faces in moments of laughter to a silhouette of cypress trees in the early evening and a wild bird perched on a neigbor's head, In Tuscany features views of beauty that reveal the singular splendor of one of the world's best-loved and most artistic regions.

What Do Reviewers Say about the Seventh Edition?

"I appreciate that RTI is going to be addressed [in the Seventh Edition] in greater detail.... There will also be more stress on the English language learner and that, too is needed. Updates are so necessary on these topics." Deborah A. Farrer, California University of Pennsylvania

"Gunning's literacy philosophy is one with which I am most comfortable, both as a literacy teacher and as an instructor of teacher candidates. This text provides a sound foundation for students to build their knowledge of methods and strategies for teaching in all areas of literacy. It is a flexible format, it is comprehensive, and it is easy to integrate into my course content." Beth A. Childress, Armstrong Atlantic State University

Thomas G. Gunning is a professor emeritus at Southern Connecticut State University and an adjunct professor in the reading/language arts department at Central Connecticut State University. He has taught courses in reading and writing methods for more than 20 years and has served as a secondary English teacher, a reading specialist, and a consultant for Reading First as well as for Response to Intervention. His books include Developing Higher-Level Literacy in All Students, Assessing and Correcting Reading and Writing Difficulties, and Closing the Literacy Gap all published by Allyn & Bacon.

David Nevin's epic of adventure and discovery tells the amazingly true story of America's famed explorer John Charles Fremont and his beloved supporter and muse, Jessie Benton Fremont. Together they defied both nature and man, trailblazing across the Rockies to the Pacific to accomplish what no one ever thought possible: mapping the American West. Fremont would eventually become the first governor of California and even come within grasp of the presidency itself. This quintessential classic tale of an American journey reveals the passion of an early explorer's dream of taming the great unknown, and the love and perseverance that saw his dream come to life.
