EDIBLE SELBY
SELBY, TODD
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Photographer Todd Selby is back, this time focusing his lens on the kitchens, gardens, homes, and restaurants
of more than 40 of the most creative and dynamic figures working in the culinary world today. He takes us behind
the scenes with Noma chef René Redzepi in Copenhagen; to Tokyo to have a slice with pizza maker Susumu
Kakinuma; and up a hilltop to dine at an inn without an innkeeper in Valdobbiadene. Each profile is accompanied
by watercolor illustrations and a handwritten questionnaire, which includes a signature recipe. Reveling in the
pleasures of a taco at the beach, foraging for wild herbs, and the art of the perfectly cured olive, Selby captures
the food we love to eat and the people who passionately grow, cook, pour, and serve these incredible edibles
every day.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CANADIAN ORGANIZED CRIME
EDWARDS, PETER & AUGER, MICHAEL
Respected crime reporters Peter Edwards and Michel Auger have pooled their research and expertise to create
The Encyclopedia of Canadian Organized Crime. Sometimes grim, sometimes amusing, and always
entertaining, this book is filled with 300 entries and more than 150 illustrations, covering centuries of organized
crime. From pirates such as "Black Bart," who sheltered in isolated Newfoundland coves to strike at the shipping
lanes between Europe and the North American colonies, all the way to the most recent influx of Russian
mobsters, who arrived after the end of the Cold War in 1989 and are now honing their sophisticated
technological skills on the Western public, Edwards and Auger enumerate the personalities and the crimes that
have kept Canadian law enforcement busy. Here too are the Sicilian and Calabrian gangs, the American and
Colombian drug connections, the bikers whose internal struggles have left innocent bystanders dead (and who
tried to murder Auger), as well as many unexpected figures, such as the Sundance Kid, who spent years in
Canada.
