About the Item

Classic Superbikes from Around the World Coffee Table Book Hardcover 2003. by Mac. McDiarmid. The cool thing about Mac McDiarmid’s book Classic Superbikes from Around the World. The book not only gives us a look at some rare specimens most will never see, it also includes some classic superbikes that we have probably seen here or there or may even have in the garage. For example, McDiarmid included the still-popular Yamaha RD350, Suzuki GT750, Bridgestone 350 GTR, Kawasaki Z1, Kawasaki 750 H2, Yamaha XS-1, Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide and Honda CB750 and Honda CB450 “Black Bomber.” Less common classics such as the Indian Chief, Velocette Venom Thruxton, Norton 650 SS, BSA 650 Spitfire, Munch Mammoth, Douglas Dragonfly, Sunbeam S7/S8, Ducati 750 SS, Ariel Square Four, and Royal Enfield Constellation are featured, too. Finally, McDiarmid takes the reader inside some really rare machines such as the six-cylinder Benelli 750 Sei, Gilera 500 four cylinder racers, MZ’s remarkable two-stroke road racers, Suzuki’s RS67 V-4 125 cc GP racer, and the exotic Kawasaki KR750 road racer. In all, McDiarmid chronicles 44 motorcycles from 29 manufacturers across nearly three decades. Illustrated with color photographs by eight world-class photographers and McDiarmid himself, each bike is treated in some detail with two pages of narrative, photo captions and a brief specification sheet. Whether you’re into classic road and touring bikes or historic achievements in racing bike design, McDiarmid provides some great information on the models and insights into their history and how they achieved their place in motorcycle history.

  • The Arabesque Table Contemporary Recipes from the Arab World
    By Phaidon
    Located in New York City, NY
    "The Arabesque Table is full to the brim with dishes which are rooted in tradition and at the same time creatively (and deliciously!) transcend it. It is wonderful!" - Yotam Ottolenghi "A dazzling set of recipes from Reem Kassis" – Nigel Slater "Reem Kassis's cookbooks tell of her Palestinian family, while giving a modern twist to such dishes as fatteh, lentil soup and pistaschio cake" - The Observer Food Monthly Acclaimed author Reem Kassis returns with a one-of-a-kind collection of original contemporary recipes tracing the rich history of Arab cuisine. The Arabesque Table takes inspiration from the traditional food of the Arab world, weaving Reem Kassis's historic research and cultural knowledge with her contemporary interpretations of an ancient, remarkably diverse cuisine. In her personal, engaging voice, Reem bridges past and present to open up the world of Arabic cooking today, showcasing a mosaic of 130 delicious, accessible home recipes. Organized by primary ingredient, the recipes and vivid photographs bring the dishes to life while her narrative offers not only a sense of taste, but a sense of time and place as well. More than just a compilation of modern Arabic recipes, The Arabesque Table celebrates the evolution of Arab cuisine and the stories of cross-cultural connection it recounts, paying tribute to the history and journey that have led to this point. With the past on full display in this heavily researched and exciting book, you will find dishes from the Golden Age of Islam: like Narjissiya (a fava bean and egg hash) and Makmoora (a layered chicken, onion and pine nut pot pie), as well as contemporary and globally inspired interpretations: like Tahini Cheesecake and Caramelized Butternut Squash Fatteh with Za'atar, revealing a cuisine that is vibrant, nourishing, and exciting, but above all, reminding us of how powerful food is in defining the relationship between people, place and identity. Specifications: Format: Hardback Size: 246 x 189 mm (9 3/4 x 7 1/2 in) Pages: 256 pp Illustrations: 129 illustrations Reem Kassis is the author of Phaidon's acclaimed cookbook The Palestinian Table, which won the Guild of Food Writers First Book award and a Gourmand World Cookbook award and was a James Beard Best International...
