Beer & Food: An American History
by Bob Skilnik
After penning an article for the Chicago Tribune’s Good Eating section in 2003 titled “The Lightening of American Beer,” author and brewing expert Bob Skilnik wondered if—having chronicled the differences between today’s beers and those of the generations before us—could he shed some light on beer’s historical use in American food or as an accompaniment. The result is his sixth book, featuring over 90 beer-related recipes and a fascinating, mouth-watering account of the birth and rise of our nation’s brewing industry and its lasting influence on American cuisine.

Puako:
An Affectionate History
by Puako Historical Society
The life story of a small community on the South Kohala Coast of the Island of Hawai'i. For nearly a millennium, the startling beauty of the coastline and an almost mysterious sense of place have drawn settlers to this spot. It has been a fishing village, an area of saltmaking, a sugar plantation, a honey farm and, most recently, a residential community. It is said that the old Hawaiians come back in the night from time to time, marching down the old trails, speaking to each other in low, musical voices, and, for all we know, checking out the current action in the old neighborhood.
