Eating the Pacific Northwest
Regular price $19.99From the brisk waters of Seattle to the earthy mushrooms of Portland, author Darrin Nordahl takes us on a journey to expand our palates with the local flavors of the beautiful Pacific Northwest. There are a multitude of indigenous fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seafood waiting to be rediscovered in the luscious PNW. Eating the Pacific Northwest looks at the unique foods that are indigenous to the region including salmon, truffles, and of course, geoduck, among others. Festivals featured include the Oregon Truffle Festival and Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival, and there are recipes for every ingredient, including Buttermilk Fried Oysters and Nootka Roses and Salmonberries. Nordahl also discusses some of the larger agricultural, political, and ecological issues that prevent these wild, and arguably tastier foods, from reaching our table.

Elegant Wine Cocktails
Regular price $24.95So begins Tommy Murphy's fascinating tour of the world of wine - a world that now includes America's favorite cocktails blended with the wines of the world: Angel's Breath, Bloody Mary, Orange Blossom, Pina Colada - they are all here. 111 delicious recipes (in full color) accompanied by brilliant color photographs. The growing popularity of wine for wine's sake, and as a substitute for "hard" liquor, make this book an indispensable must for the back bar in a cocktail lounge and the home bookshelf, too. Murphy includes a glossary of wine terms, a brief encapsulation of the U.S. wine industry, sections on Reading Labels, Wine Tasting, How to Serve Wine, A Calorie Counter, Bar Tips and barrels more.
It all adds up to a book long overdue. It solves the mystery of wine but preserves the mystique. The recipes contain simple mixing instructions for common ingredients available at supermarkets and liquor stores everywhere. Each recipe is lavishly illustrated in beautiful color, complete with garnishes and serving options. Murphy does not place "wine consumption under a cerebral microscope...dissect its pros and cons, moralistically or physiologically. Common sense dictates that in the consumption of any alcoholic beverage, moderation is the first, last and ONLY commandment." Elegant Wine Cocktails is the complete wine cocktail guide.

Washington: A Photographic Journey
Regular price $12.95Washington: A State of Contrasts (2nd Edition)
Regular price $64.95The Washington: A State of Contrasts, 2nd Edition - Textbook is more than an updated version of a best selling product. Rather, it is a complete re-imagining of the work to meet the demanding standards of the twenty-first century classroom. Whereas our first edition approached the history, geography, economy, and politics of Washington from a thematic viewpoint, the second edition takes a chronological approach focusing on the people of Washington.
The primary objective is to describe the diverse people who live in Washington, where they came from and why, their contributions to our society and culture, and the contemporary activities in which they participate. As a result of this approach, a comprehensive picture of Washington emerges; one that appreciates the historical contributions of all peoples, accurately explains contemporary social, cultural, economic, and political activities, and provides proper context for Washington’s role in the larger American and global community.
The second edition consists of 13 chapters, discussed in chronological order. It is written at a level appropriate for 7th -12th grade secondary students. To facilitate student comprehension, the layout of the book was designed to be more interactive. Thus new vignettes, color photographs, illustrations, diagrams, maps, and artwork were added. The free flowing layout engages student curiosity and supports the text. Overall, the changes have resulted in a superior product that meets and exceeds the Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs). Furthermore, Directed Media Inc. consciously responds to feedback received from educators across the state.
