Описание: The Rise and Fall of the World's Most Powerful Restaurant Critic and His Battle with Severe, Debilitating Depression

From the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, Bryan Miller was a household name among restaurant goers in the greater New York City area and beyond as the restaurant critic for the New York Times, as well as the author of numerous books, a public speaker, and a radio and television commentator. Over ten years as a columnist, he dined out more than five thousand times in the United States and abroad, from haute to humble. The Wine Spectator, in a front-page profile, declared Miller "the most powerful restaurant critic in America."

And for much of that time, he wanted to die.

Dining in the Dark chronicles Miller's battle with Bipolar II disorder, also known as depression which ruined his life, professionally and personally. Depression was directly responsible for his surrendering the New York Times restaurant column and, shortly thereafter, leaving the paper altogether. Everything he had worked for so diligently, rising from cub reporter to big city columnist in less than a decade, vanished. In the ensuing years, unable to work, he lost his home, his life savings, two wonderful wives, the chance to have a family, and a number of friends. He became increasingly reclusive; like many victims of serious depression, he reached the point where he was afraid to answer the phone. Pile on a brain tumor, electroshock therapy, a near-fatal bout with Lyme disease, accidental drug overdoses (he was once carried out of the newsroom on a stretcher), and you have a life in shambles.

Dining in the Dark tells the story of Miller's battle, but it also brings hope by sharing his journey to coping with, and finally conquering, his depression. The coping mechanisms he employed in order to get through the day will be of benefit to those in need of a helping hand. Dining in the Dark is philosophical, inspirational, educational, and even humorous at times. And, of course, there are several inside-the-New York Times anecdotes, as well as lots of food, wine, travel, and celebrity (dinners with Dolly Parton, Pavarotti, Stephen King, Yves Montand, Gerard Depardieu, Paul and Linda McCartney, and many more).

Описание: Pedro Chirino entered the Society of Jesus in February 1580 and arrived in the Philippines in June 1590. He was one of the pioneers of the Philippine Jesuit Mission who started and consolidated the Jesuit apostolate in the Philippines. This work is the first history, not just of the Jesuit missions, but also of the Catholic missions in the Philippines, and served as the source for later histories.
