The Taste of Bread
Published in Hardcover by Aspen Publishers, Inc. (2001)
Authors: Raymond Calvel, Ronald L. Wirtz, and James J. MacGuire
Amazon base price: $76.00
Average review score:

The ultimate bakers' manual
This book is by the man who revolutionized bread baking and it is excellent. The technical information on flours, oxidation, etc is very good. All recipes are based on the bakers percentage formula so it is very easy to scale anything. It is more for professionals but I have had no trouble adapating it to home use. This book will teach you to be a bread baker, not a follower of recipes. I highly recommend this for anyone who is serious about bread baking. If you are a casual baker of loaves it may be too much. If you can read basic French I encourge you to get the french edition as it costs about 25E's instead of the crazy price for the English translation.

Unsatisfactory, Yet Noble Attempt at a Great Life
St. Edmund Campion: Scholar, Historian, Orator, Actor, Playwrite, Director, Jesuit, Confessor, Martyr, and Saint. A biographic play about this extraordinary man should include all these, but unfortunately Buckley and MacGuire's play is clogged with far too many scenes, and far too many of them are too brief for us to get to know the great soul of the saint. The play is enormously well researched, and one can definitely learn something by reading this piece, yet in an artistic sense this play quite obviously borrows matieral from Robert Bolt's "A Man for All Seasons." While I am glad to see at least an attempt to bring themes of religion and sacrifice into the modern theatre, Edmund Campion's story more likely is suited for an epic screen story than it is for the confines of a full-length play.

Excellent research
Buckley and MacGuire provide an excellent and very well reseached piece about Campion.
