S.M. Stirling
Roc, 2008
Another excellent addition to this series
I came to Stirling, and this series, with the Purchase of "The Protector's War." I was a halfway through that book before I realized that it was part of a series. Every other book in this series has the same stand-alone quality, including this one. New readers will ...

In a Sunburned Country
Bill Bryson
Broadway, 2001
Great intro to Australia and Australians
I read this book on the way to Sydney a couple of years ago at the beginning of a project assignment which called for me to spend about six weeks there. I enjoyed the author's writing style much more than a typical travel book. However, despite the light tone and the ...

How to Grow More Vegetables and Fruits (and Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) Than You Ever ...
John Jeavons
Ten Speed Press, 2006
Not a book for "casual backyard gardening"
The people who are disappointed with this book are the ones who bought it without understanding what it was. This book isn't a "gardening for the soul" book of fluff, nor is it a typical "how to get bigger tomatoes" text.
What this book is is a compendium of ...

A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)

Wonderful!
This book is the quintessential book on the subject of creating authentic living spaces.
This book provides a near mystical approach to architecture in a very simplistic form that anyone can understand.

In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom
Qanta A. Ahmed
Sourcebooks, Inc., 2008
Very Cinematic - This would make a great movie!
I read this over the weekend, based on the Dianne Rheme interview and I couldn't put it down. The language is very descriptive in a very personal and equally unconventional way. There are dozens of images and scenes that I can picture vividly.
This was a real ...

The Distant Land of My Father
Bo Caldwell
Harvest Books, 2002
A fabulous read.
Hard to believe it's not autobiographical. Eloquent in its ability to make you feel her experiences as if they were absolutely real. Heartbreaking yet ever hopeful. Couldn't put it down.

Environmental Science: Toward A Sustainable Future (10th Edition)
Richard T. Wright
Prentice Hall, 2007
A Classic of the Genre
Dr. Wright's text has really become a classic of the environmental science field for good reason: it elucidates the basic principles of environmental science with depth and readability. This tome is not in its 10th edition because it lacks merit. On the contrary, ...
