Cooking in the Shaker SpiritBy Shay Zeller on Friday, April 7, 2006.In the late 1980’s, James Haller was widely regarded as one of the country's best chefs.

His book inspired by his time there is called "Cooking in the Shaker Spirit." It's now out in a second edition. James Haller now lives in South Berwick Maine, where he offers cooking classes. His other books include, "What to Eat When You Don’t Feel Like Eating", "The Blue Strawberry Cookbook", and the most recent "Simply Wonderful Foods-A Cookbook for Men Receiving Radiation During Prostate Cancer." listen: No audio currently available.

"The American Transcendentalists: Essential Writings"By Laura Knoy on Friday, April 7, 2006.Transcendentalism was the first intellectual movement in US history to achieve a lasting impact on American thoughts, literature and philosophy. Its basis was around the belief of nature being a source of human inspiration and many of its leaders were New Englanders by birth... Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller. Although the movement itself was relatively short, peaking from the mid 1830's to mid 1840's, its impact was long and still can even be heard today. This book looks at the leaders of this influential movement and those that responded to it… Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman and Dickenson. Laura's guest is Lawrence Buell. listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).
