Lucy Jo Palladino
Times Books, 1997
This book was comfort food for my soul!
This is the first book I have EVER found myself in. I have always been fascinated by psychology, but have never fit into anyone's theory or box. I have usually found myself relating to the negative characteristics of two opposite types in someones personality groups. My spirit was broken by well intentioned parents trying to make me fit in with what is supposed to be "normal" in our society. ...

Times Books, 1979
This is one of the best
This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. I bought it after moving out on my own and realizing I needed to learn how to cook something more than pre-made sauces and hamburger helper. It is still one of the most used cookbooks on my shelf, and I own over thirty cookbooks. I needed to buy a new copy because the one I have is slowly falling apart from constant use. So my thanks go out to the ...

Times Books, 1980
Deadly fogs, horrible diseases, and brilliant medical detectives
Berton Roueché wrote for the "New Yorker" magazine for almost half a century, and was winner of the 1950 Albert Lasker Medical Journalism Award. His many volumes on physicians and medical detectives, including this book, were collected from his articles in the "New Yorker." "The Medical Detectives" volume II is great bedtime reading, because the good guys, i.e. physicians and epidemiologists ...

Tremolo is a spellbinding prequel to Aaron Lazar's Gus LeGarde Mystery Series
Tremolo: Cry of the Loon - is a beautifully written prequel to Aaron Lazar's Gus LeGarde mystery series. Tremolo has a terrific sense about it; it is set it Maine in 1964; it brings back nostalgia to us all - and a sense of the 60s you don't want to miss. This is the prequel to the Gus LeGarde mystery series, with Double Forte being the first in the series. I have read both Double Forte ...
Burnout: the mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281
9 reviews
Stephanie Osborn
Twilight Times Books
, 2009
Fast paced and intriguing
Burnout seems more like mystery than science fiction, but there are some science fiction aspects to it as well as a touch of romance. It has a number of interesting twists and turns that make it hard to put down. I also had to force myself not to look ahead. While the focus of the plot is the space shuttle, there's actually a lot more to it. It has a glossary in the back but there's just enough ...

I took my copy of "Piano: The Making of a Steinway Concert Grand" to the beach with me. I read it in 4 days! Mr. Barron infuses a wealth of information into a wonderful story about this piano,and oh so much more. Before you know it K-0862 is a character you care about. I cannot imagine anyone not finding something to love about this book!!! Masterfully written!
The Last Protector

The Last Protector
Good science fiction and fantasy can be hard to come by these days and the biggest problem is a lack of characters that seem real. Too many are absurd extensions of silly comic book style heroes, all strength and no weakness and never any deeper than a cookie sheet. But "The Last Protector" does not suffer from this problem. The characters are real and seem like people you could meet in your ...
The Secret of Atlantis
8 reviews
Otto Heinrich Muck
Times Books, 1978
The best book written on Atlantis
It's not even a close call. This is easily the best book ever written on Atlantis. Speculation is kept to a minimum while scientific analysis prevails. Muck surveys ocean currents, plant and animal distributions and geological evidence and concldues that there is no other scientific explanation available---there must have been a large island or small continet in the Atlantic that has disappeared.
Failure Is Impossible: Susan B. Anthony in Her Own Words

Lynn Sherr
Times Books, 1996
A Wonderful Book - buy it.
My youngest daughter (7 yrs old) needed to do a biography on a famous woman for school and chose Susan B. Anthony. I must admit I didn't know very much about her other than she was the leader of the sufferage movement. I looked on Amazon and chose this book because of the reviews. The book is specatular. It is a collection of her speeches with connective writing from the writer providing ...

Splendid collection on reportage on the human condition
I have always found The Earth Times to be a wonderful newspaper covering such critical issues as population, the environment and sustainable human development. This book now gathers together some of the finest articles that have appeared in the newspaper over the last decade. It is highly recommended reading for diplomats, policymakers, students, teachers--everyone who has a stake in the way ...
Reclaiming Childhood: Letting Children Be Children in Our Achievement-Oriented Society
7 reviews
William Crain
Times Books, 2003
Returning childhood to the kids
One of the great strengths of this book is that it reminds the reader of what it really was like to be a child: how imaginative, artistic, and connected to nature kids are naturally. It's hard for me to remember now, but there was a time when my favorite activity was hanging out in the backyard and just looking at leaves and under rocks, sitting quietly, and thinking things over. I could do this ...
Past Due: The End of Easy Money and the Renewal of the American Economy
7 reviews
Peter S. Goodman
Times Books, 2009
The definitive analysis of the global financial meltdown
Peter S. Goodman has done the almost impossible: He's made the origins of the global financial collapse comprehensible and he's done so without forgetting that it is individual human beings who have been most devastated by the complex tangle of motives that created the crisis. It's that blending of Goodman's incisive, expert understanding of international economics with his ability to put a ...

Rosalynn Carter
Times Books(NY), 1998
facing the difficult challenge
An excellent resource for family members and friends who wish to help a person with mental illness. I especially appreciated the book's emphasis on biological *and* social risk factors for various forms of mental illness. The section on building resiliancy in children at risk for mental illness is reason alone to purchase this book. It is a wise, compassionate, humane treatus on a very ...
Infinite Space, Infinite God

Karina and Robert Fabian; editors
Twilight Times Books
, 2007
Amazing collection
Religious-themed science fiction is not a new genre, from classics like A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller Jr., to nearly anything from Gene Wolfe. One of the best known collections was edited by Fr. Andrew M. Greeley called Sacred Visions. Yet this new volume of 15 short stories in the genre of Catholic Science Fiction is a treat for the fan of either genres. The authors tackle themes of ...
