Instant New York Times bestseller "Howard Zinn on acid or some
bullsh*t like that." -Tim Heidecker The creators of the cult-hit
podcast Chapo Trap House deliver a manifesto for everyone who feels
orphaned and alienated-politically, culturally, and economically-by
the lanyard-wearing Wall Street centrism of the left and the
lizard-brained atavism of the right: there is a better way, the
Chapo Way. In a guide that reads like "a weirder, smarter, and
deliciously meaner version of The Daily Show's 2004 America (The
Book)" (Paste), Chapo Trap House shows you that you don't have to
side with either sinking ships. These self-described "assholes from
the internet" offer a fully ironic ideology for all who feel
politically hopeless and prefer broadsides and tirades to reasoned
debate. Learn the "secret" history of the world, politics, media,
and everything in-between that THEY don't want you to know and
chart a course from our wretched present to a utopian future where
one can post in the morning, game in the afternoon, and podcast
after dinner without ever becoming a poster, gamer, or podcaster. A
book that's "as intellectually serious and analytically original as
it is irreverent and funny" (Glenn Greenwald, New York Times
bestselling author of No Place to Hide) The Chapo Guide to
Revolution features illustrated taxonomies of contemporary liberal
and conservative characters, biographies of important thought
leaders, "never before seen" drafts of Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom
manga, and the ten new laws that govern Chapo Year Zero (everyone
gets a dog, billionaires are turned into Soylent, and logic is
outlawed). If you're a fan of sacred cows, prisoners being taken,
and holds being barred, then this book is NOT for you. However, if
you feel disenfranchised from the political and cultural nightmare
we're in, then Chapo, let's go...
The editors of Texas Monthly celebrate the ever-evolving culinary
landscape of the Lone Star State in this stunning cookbook,
featuring more than 100 recipes, gorgeous color photos, and
insightful essays. When it comes to food, Texas may be best known
for its beloved barbecue and tacos. But at more than 29 million
people, the state is one of the most culturally diverse in
America-and so is its culinary scene. From the kolaches introduced
by Czechs settlers to the Hill Country in the 1800s to the
Viet-Cajun crawfish that Vietnamese immigrants blessed Houston with
in the early 2000s, the tastes on offer here are as vast and varied
as the 268,596 square miles of earth they spring from. In The Big
Texas Cookbook, the editors of the award-winning magazine Texas
Monthly have gathered an expansive collection of recipes that
reflects the state's food traditions, eclectically grouped by how
Texans like to start and end the day (Rise and Shine, There Stands
the Glass), how they revere their native-born ingredients (Made in
Texas), and how they love the people, places, and rituals that
surround their favorite meals (On Holiday, Home Plates). Getting
their very own chapters-no surprise-are the behemoths mentioned
above, barbecue and Tex-Mex (Smoke Signals, Con Todo). With recipes
for uber-regional specialties like venison parisa, home cooking
favorites like King Ranch casserole, and contemporary riffs like a
remarkable Lao beef chili, The Big Texas Cookbook pays homage to
the cooks who long ago shaped the state's food culture and the ones
who are building on those traditions in surprising and delightful
ways. Packed with atmospheric photos, illustrations, and essays,
The Big Texas Cookbook is a vivid culinary portrait of the land,
its people, and its past, present, and future.

The early American West has been depicted in art as a land of harsh
struggles, a place of heavenly miracles, and everything in between.
Different Travellers, Different Eyes records impressions of life on
the nineteenth-and early twentieth-century American frontier by
twenty-one artists better known for their paintings, sculptures,
and photographs. Most but not all the selections come from journals
or diaries kept during trips to the West.
Thomas Moran, for instance, notes what others must have felt,
that "the impression then made upon me by the stupendous and
remarkable manifestations of nature's forces will remain with me as
long as memory lasts". That impression of grandeur echoes the vast
and dramatic canvasses Moran created on his trips west.
Different Travellers, Different Eyes is not an art history book.
The narrators are not art historians. Their works adorn the walls
of museums, fill the pages of art books, fetch large sums at
auction, and (as reproductions) illustrate histories of the early
American West. Chances are slim, however, that the casual reader
has read a word these artists wrote. This gathering brings the best
of this literary art out of the shadows.
