Book excerpt: “Their drinks celebrate the island’s culinary heritage and bring new flavors into the mix . . . A stylish and timely collection of recipes.” —Library Journal (starred review) From the renowned Cuban rum bar Cienfuegos—owned by the co-owner of Death & Co., named Best American Cocktail Bar at Tales of the Cocktail® in 2010—comes this spirited collection of 100 recipes that tap into Cuba’s rich history and culture. This collection features timeless classics, such as the Cuba Libre, El Floridita Daiquirí, and Mojito; a bevy of punch recipes to share with friends and family; new takes on familiar favorites, such as the Isla Tea, Por Avion, and Rum Old Fashioned; and modern craft concoctions, including the Havana Harbor Special, Imperial Fizz, and One Hundred Fires. But Cuban Cocktails offers more than just a collection of delectable recipes. It captures the tropical elegance and unfiltered energy of old Cuba, brimming with beautiful, evocative images of the drinks and the places where they came to life. Features shed fascinating light on the country’s cocktail history, its legendary bars, and the famous cantineros who ran them, while notes, tips, and tricks make it easy to create a tantalizing taste of the once-forbidden Caribbean island. ¡Bienvenidos a Cienfuegos! “Part of their exploration, which yielded more than a few Hemingway-inspired sips, involved celebrating the Cuban punch bowl, filled with rum-soaked elixirs and flavored with citrus and tropical fruits.” —The Palm Beach Post “Welcome to the tropics! . . . Full of punches, sours, and daiquiris, you can escape to Cuba just like Hemingway did and elude Prohibition entirely.” —Book Riot

Book excerpt: A sophisticated wardrobe guides' series for modern men. Uman. The Essays is a series of commentaries by contemporary connoisseurs (authors, journalists, and cultured men), who explore the sources of men's costume - sports, discovery, passions - to reveal the traditions and ethos at the basis of the ideal wardrobe. It is a project by Umberto Angeloni, former chief executive of Brioni, an Italian luxury lifestyle brand with global diffusion. This volume is devoted to fashion under the sun. The author is the writer and journalist Nick Foulkes; in 2007 he was named Havana Man of the Year: "... the classic long-sleeved guayabera is the sartorial expression of what it is to be Cuban: an elegant and languid solution to the heat, if not the shortages, of Cuba. It is as much a symbol of Cuba as cigars and rum. This heat-defeating light linen or cotton overshirt is the sports jacket, the blazer, the business suit and the dinner jacket of Central America..."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous works on the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) have approached the topic from the point of view of the U.S. and its allies, while Cuban experiences have still not been sufficiently discussed. This book presents new aspects which have seldom – or never – been offered before, giving a detailed account of the crisis from a Cuban perspective. It also investigates the archaeological and anthropological aspects of the crisis, by exploring the tangible and intangible remains that still can be found on the former Soviet missile bases in the Cuban countryside, and through interviews which add a local, human dimension to the subject.
