Few figures have entered the ranks of America's national heroes with a more mixed bag of credentials than the Scottish seaman variously known as John Paul, John Jones, Captain Paul, Captain John Paul Jones and Kontradmiral Pavel Ivanovich Jones. As the youthful master of a merchant ship in the West Indies, this short Scot with the towering temper was wanted for murder. As an officer in the Continental Navy, he became the new country's greatest naval hero. Yet he was a notorious complainer, impatient with superiors, haughty toward his peers and a tyrant among his crews (with considerable justification, it must be added). He described himself as "a free Citizen of the World" bent on defending "the violated rights of Mankind," but after the American Revolution he went on to battle Turks in the service of a Russian despot. Son of an unlettered gardener, he wrote letters which became a standard of style and deportment for generations of Annapolis middies. He was a man of powerful physical drives who, in the shrewd judgment of Abigail Adams, understood "all the etiquette of a lady's toilette as perfectly as he does the mast and sails and rigging of his ship." Yet he never married. He was, in brief, one of the most paradoxical and fascinating figures in all American history.

Foods of the World was a popular series of 27 cookbooks published by Time-Life, beginning in 1968 and extending through the late 1970s, that provided a broad survey of many of the world's major cuisines. The individual volumes were written by well-known experts on the various cuisines and included significant contemporary food writers, including Craig Claiborne, Pierre Franey, James Beard, Julia Child, and M.F.K. Fisher, and was overseen by food writer Michael Field. The series combined recipes with food-themed travelogues in an attempt to show the cultural context from which each recipe sprang. African Cooking published in 1970 was put together by Sir Laurens Jan van der Post, CBE (1906 - 1996) a 20th-century Afrikaner author, farmer, war hero, political adviser to British heads of government, close friend of Prince Charles, godfather of Prince William, educator, journalist, humanitarian, philosopher, explorer and conservationist. The book's chapters include: My Continent: A Personal View, The Ancient World of Ethiopia, New Cuisines for New Nations, In the Highlands of East Africa, The World of Portuguese Africa, East and West Meet at the Cape, Great Cooking from Rich Farms, and On the Track of the Voortrekkers. It includes an extensive index.
