The first comprehensive study of Africa's economic history, beginning with the origins of domesticated food production and concluding with the attainment of political independence. The author draws insights from both liberal and Marxist approaches without adopting either one. The book's particular strengths lie in Austen's balance of cultural and geographical areas, his analysis of trade and commerce, and his portrayal of emerging regional economies.
This is my second favorite bread machine book. If you enjoy making bread and like to try different varieties, this book has a lot of unusual bread recipes that don't require a lot of odd or hard-to-find ingredients. Each recipe comes with measurements for 1, 1.5 and 2 lb loaves.I've tried quite a few of the breads and all have been good and some have become favorites that I make over and over again. The pumpernickle is exceptional as is the cottage dill recipe. Both are wonderful with cream cheese and smoked salmon. One of the things I especially like about the book are the suggestions given for what to serve with the different breads. I've created entire meals based on breads from this book.Electric Bread may disappoint some beginners who are looking for more bread-making basics than are provided here. If you are a bread machine nut who loves homemade bread every day, this book is for you.

A great addition to any cooking library. This book has a great selection of different (Rum Raisin, Maraschino Pecan, Cajun Spice, etc.) oven proven recipes that you can easily bake in your bread maker. The multiple color photos that accompany each are so good that you can smell the breads. I was impressed when Suzan Nightingale evaluated, by name, of various Yeast and Flours on the market today and recommend which ones to use for various types of breads. This book will be well used and I know that these sumptuous bread recipes will be a welcomed change over my well used and very generic white bread recipe. Highly Recommend
Delicious!

When working at a local bookstore, the other booksellers all recommended Electric Bread to me. They were right. There isn't a bad recipe in the bunch; I have tried around half of them now. Your friends on low-carb diets will have a hard time once you start making loaves of bread with this handy! This book is also available in plain paperback - buying the library binding version is worth the extra cost, though, as the book lies flat, making it easy to follow the recipes.
A fantastic book!

I just received the paperback edition of this book and am very happy to say that it is as complete as the hardback edition. Colored photos of the breads and all! I just purchased a bread machine and didn't realize I can alter my recipes to work with it. I thought I had to use the special 'bread machine flour' everyone has told me about. Thank goodness for this book! It has simple as well as special recipes in here using regular bread flours. Hooray! I intend on buying the other electric bread books as well.
