"Before Tartine and Mission Chinese, before Bi-Rite and flour+ water, Foreign Cinema opened their doors in the Mission District of San Francisco, reinventing the neighborhood and transforming the area into a culinary destination. The Foreign Cinema Cookbook shares the chefs' California-Mediterranean cuisine with North African inflection, abundant with color and flavor yet made with ingredients easily sourced locally, or for a few exotic items, ordered online. Throughout the book-in front matter, headnotes, and recipe sidebars-Pirie and Clark shares their stories about the development of a beloved San Francisco neighborhood. It will seduce and entertain anyone interested in San Francisco dining, bringing a piece of the restaurant to home kitchens-even for those who have never dined at Foreign Cinema. After 15 years in service, Foreign Cinema is as popular as ever. Mayor Ed Lee proclaimed an annual 'Foreign Cinema Day'and the restaurant seats more than 2,500 customers each week. The book will capture the experience of the restaurant, featuring atmospheric photography of its dram atic space-the atrium, screening room and veranda overlooking the 220- seat dining room. But most importantly, the chef- owners, Gayle Pirie and John Clarke, offer 125 favorites from the menu, a collection of recipes that reflect their training under Judy Rodgers of Zuni Cafe and Alice Waters."--Provided by publisher.

Contemporary Chinese art is still a young field now being opened up to critical academic research. Negotiating Difference is a pioneering collection of articles which engage with contemporary Chinese art in a global context. The contributions collectively address the urgent methodological question of how to describe, contextualize and theorize artworks and artistic processes in and beyond the People's Republic of China since the end of the Cultural Revolution. The studies break new ground as they chalk out the transcultural entanglements of which art and its practices partake and which they in turn reconfigure. The book features 20 essays written by a select group of international junior and senior scholars engaged in ambitious and methodologically innovative research on contemporary Chinese art. Their multi-faceted, in part interdisciplinary approaches are complemented by four contributions by distinguished practitioners in the field, who - as art curators and critics - are located in China and explore key developments within Chinese art and the changing art scene of the last three decades.

Whether knight's charger or beast of burden, horses played a vital role in medieval life. The wealth of medieval finds excavated in London in recent years has, not surprisingly, included many objects associated with horses. This catalogue illustrates and discusses over four hundred such objects, among them harness, horseshoes, spurs and curry combs, from the utilitarian to highly decorative pieces. London served by horse traffic comes vividly in view. The introductory chapter draws on historical as well as archaeological sources to consider the role of the horse in medieval London. It looks at the price of horses and the costs of maintaining them, the hiring of 'hackneys' for riding, the use of carts in and around London, and the work of the 'marshal' or farrier. It discusses the evidence for the size of medieval horses and includes a survey of finds of medieval horse skeletons from London. It answers the key questions, how large a 'Great Horse' was, and why it took three horses to pull a cart. A new introduction to this edition provides an update on research and a supplementary bibliography. This is a basic work of reference for archaeologists and those studying medieval artefacts, and absorbing reading for everyone interested in the history of the horse and its use by humankind. JOHN CLARK is Curator (Medieval) at the Museum of London.
