CLASSIC PERUVIAN COOKING
Classic Peruvian Cooking is a simple, basic traditional cookbook, nothing fancy to it, no gourmet recipes here. It is an everyday menu including main dishes, desserts and some of them could be served as appetizers. Also being from Huancayo it includes this regional famous dish Pachamanca. Pacha means earth and Manca means pot in the Quechua language. It is adapted for stovetop preparation instead of being made in the ground.
Peruvian food earned international recognition with major metropolitans having restaurants serving this exciting set of flavors representing the coast, mountains, and jungle of South America. Expanding high-end venues and numerous chefs, struggling to present progressive combinations, have dabbled with fusion and experimental tangents. In contrast, we have assembled the classic recipes in this short cookbook on Peruvian food. We present easy to prepare meals that are the mainstream, everyday life, traditional food that spans decades in family and restaurant celebration. Classic Peruvian Cooking is a great way to expand one’s culinary diversity, and I can assure you its just good eating.
This books was made possible thanks to my mom and her recipes that were passed on to me and after several attempts we got something close to the authentic Peruvian kitchen, we found similar ingredients at times and others we just had to replaced them. The intent is to share our Peruvian food with you and invite you to try new recipes from our kitchen to yours.
GEOPUNS
An unusual presentation of geology visual puns, coined Geopuns, is of interest for anyone needing a less serious perspective of the geological sciences. Rocks can be fun particularly when stopping to think about how crazy sounding some of the names truly are. Those familiar with the basic terminology in geology will either groan or giggle, and either hate this or love it. The booklet contains 249 black and white concept sketches.
These geopun cartoon sketches transforms what can be a dry technical subject into something rather funny.
Doors of South America
Our collection of 300 best door pictures of South America has been a long work in progress, photographing historic doors across nine countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay.
What is the attraction of taking door pictures? It’s a combination of visual composition, symmetry, and symbolism. The wide variety of colors, contrasts, and styles by region makes for a dialogue on culture. Many of the doors come from the end of the 19thcentury, some are older. The doors mark security in functionality, and behind many is hospitality. And yet the doors we picture are all closed, leaving us, the onlookers, left outside pondering its significance.
This collection of Doors of South America provides an inventory of styles and designs that may be useful to future generations in understanding regional variations and what patterns are authentic to the continent. We are jazzed to share this large collection!

Red Metal in the Blue Planet explores the history of copper mining and our outlook for the future use of the metal.

Whether it was through the organization of Bronze Age armies using weapons or the sparks being carried through wires to light our homes, the red metal shaped evolution of humankind. This long development from ceramic pots to smelting of metals is reviewed for mining innovations and major contributions provided by copper, which drove exploration of the continents and construction of the cities.
