South Carolina has been home to good; old-fashioned barbeque for quite a long time. Hundreds of restaurants; stands and food trucks sell tons of the southern staple every day. But the history of Palmetto State barbeque goes deeper than many might believe--it predates the rest of America. Native Americans barbequed pork on makeshift grills as far back as the 1500s after the Spanish introduced the pig into the Americas. Since the early 1920s; South Carolinians have been perfecting the craft and producing some of the best-tastin que in the country. Join author and president of the South Carolina Barbeque Association Lake E. High Jr. as he traces the delectable history from its pre-colonial roots to a thriving modern-day tradition that fuels an endless debate over where to find the best plate.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. maybe a bit dated nowBy Gary AndersonThis was one of the best books written on Googles 3D design program. SketchUp was one of Googles amazing offshoots. The fact that they made a fully functioning version available for Free and then staffed the development team with high quality Google programmers was rather out of character for current day American corporations. Their actions and the open source software attracted a huge following and many additions to the program that made it useable and useful for the common person. The Cookbook addressed a number of operating issues in a different; often clearer; manner than other how-tos. For most of us amateur 3d designers the Cookbook was an essential part of the library.Sketchup has now been sold to a private company that has put out a new version (2013) and altered somewhat the nature of its free version of the software. The last version that Google published was version 8 and the Cookbook was written to deal with an earlier version than that. I dont know that it has been revised and am pretty sure that it has not been revised to deal with 2013. There have been some complaints that the new version 2013 should really have been labeled 8.1 because the changes; in their opinion; were not sufficient to warrant a new version number. However; some of the changes are more significant than others. Apple; which a favorite platform on which to run Sketchup; also made changes to its operating system Mountain Lion that impact how the computer deals with certain files. Like all things in technology; the how to books need to be up to date and this one may not be. The interested buyer should check first to see if the version being sold is corrected to deal with the new version 2013. Older versions are no longer being supported by either Google or the new company.If the book has been revised to deal with 2013 specifically; I would buy the new edition myself. She does a wonderful job with the subject0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Erick Beebegreat book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great step-by-step learning toolBy Robert J. CoteIf youve been trying to learn Sketchup with the on-line tutorials and just arent getting anywhere; look no further than this book. It does assume you know some basic Sketchup functionality (like how to use the orbit tool); and then proceeds with dozens of examples in a stepwise manner. The examples start with relatively simple concepts; and then advance to more complex models; often assuming that you will remember concepts from earlier models (a good thing in my opinion - but sometimes hints are provided to jog the memory - and you can always flip back if needed). This is one of those few computer books that delivered just what I needed.
