This book explores the lure and magic of the university\, which has become more than just an alma mater to its graduates. Price writes\, "\;It has querencia\, a place in our hearts\, like a homeland... [T]he main campus is an oasis of cultured civility\, at once brimming with the youthful vigor of its student body and rooted in the American West's most venerable social and aesthetic traditions. It's what makes UNM an academic symbol of the mind-opening sense of enchantment that New Mexico is known for around the world."\;

As a young immigrant\, Fred Harvey worked his way up from dishwasher to household name. His eating houses and hotels along the Atchison\, Topeka\, and Santa Fe railroad were patronized by princes\, presidents\, and countless ordinary travelers looking for the best cup of coffee in the country. Harvey's staff of carefully screened single young women-the celebrated Harvey Girls-were the country's first female workforce and became genuine Americana\, even inspiring an MGM musical starring Judy Garland.
Inspiring\, instructive\, and hugely entertaining\, Appetite for America is historical biography that is as richly rewarding as a slice of fresh apple pie-and every bit as satisfying.
