Green Rider



Kristen Britain
Publisher: Daw Books Inc., November 01, 1998
Review: Jacket art by Keith Parkinson.
Proud. Hot-tempered. Impulsive. Traits like these got Karigan G'ladheon expelled from school, and now, as she faces the long road home, she's wondering what to do with her life. Before she can decide, though, her thoughts are interrupted by a horse bursting from the woods, a wounded rider slumped over its neck.
He is a Green Rider, he tells her, and he bears a life-and-death message for the king--a message he begs her to deliver. Without pausing to think, Karigan swears to the errand, and with his dying breath, the messenger warns 'beware the shadow man.'
What could be happening in the land of Sacoridia that requires such a message? What's so vital someone is willing to kill for it? And who is 'the shadow man'? Pursued by assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, and accompanied by the silent specter of the dead Rider, Karigan is caught up in a magical mission that will change her life--if she survives long enough to fulfill it.

Dead Head


A Dirty Business Mystery
Rosemary Harris
Publisher: Minotaur, April 13, 2010
Review: Filled with gardening tips and New England know-how, Dirty Business is not your garden-variety mystery series. In Dead Head, Rosemary Harris shows that sometimes, in life as in gardening, you have to cut off the old to make room for the new…but even a buried past can come back to bite you.
Winter is almost over, and for Paula Holliday, proprietor of Dirty Business garden solutions, it’s none too soon. With jobs drying up and money running out, Paula has no choice but to give in and discuss a partnership idea that client Caroline Sturgis has been pushing for months.
Unfortunately, it’s not to be: Caroline—one of Springfield, Connecticut’s, well-heeled housewives—has been arrested by the police! By that night, the whole town knows that this popular, happily married wife and mother of two isn’t who they thought she was; she’s the Fugitive Mom, a big-time drug dealer…and escaped convict. Even worse, Caroline’s husband thinks Paula, an ex-TV executive, turned her in!
With a little help from her best friend Lucy Cavanaugh, hunky Sergeant Mike O’Malley and real-live private eye Nina Mazzo, Paula leaves no stone unturned to get to the bottom of this tangled mess, a case whose roots go back 25 years.

Review: As Debbie Macomber’s Family Affair opens, Lacey is still smarting over her cheating ex, she’s tired of her demanding boss and she’s had enough of friends pushing her to date again…which is why she has zero patience for Jack Walker, the hunk next door who keeps flirting with her even though she knows he already has a girlfriend. A girlfriend, she might add, with whom he’s always arguing. It’s no wonder that when Jack’s alley cat gets her Abyssinian pregnant, Lacey is furious.

Gray Matter


A Neurosurgeon Discovers the Power of Prayer...One Patient at a Time
David Levy, MD
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, March 11, 2011
Review: A perfect blend of medical drama and spiritual insight, Dr. David Levy’s Gray Matter is a fascinating account of his decision to ask his patients if he could pray for them before surgery.
Some are thrilled, some skeptical, some hostile—and some are transformed. Each chapter focuses on a specific case, with the patient’s diagnosis, the procedure to be performed and the prayer request. Then, we look over Dr. Levy’s shoulder as he operates, and wait for the results with Dr. Levy, the patient and his or her family.
As we watch Dr. Levy arrive at his insightful conclusions about what the results imply about God, faith and the power of prayer—and that, no matter what the results are, God is good—we can’t help but be inspired.

Kristin Hannah
Publisher: St. Martins Press, Llc, March 22, 2011
Review: Jude Farraday is a happily married stay-at-home mom whose twins, Mia and Zach, are the center of her universe. In the mind of foster child Lexi Baill, Mia’s best friend, there is no better mother—although when top student Zach falls in love with Lexi and announces his intention to attend community college with her, Jude is far from pleased. But the night Lexi reluctantly drives the more intoxicated twins home from a senior class party, the only emotion Jude registers is complete and utter devastation….
In Night Road Kristin Hannah shines a light on wrenching issues for parents, particularly the often impossible task of keeping their children safe. When Jude leads her community in a call for justice, it takes but a heartbeat for Lexi’s future to turn down a dark road where no one, especially the boy she loves, can follow. Six years later, she returns far wiser than her years, only to discover Jude has grown more embittered. Will Lexi’s presence force the once-loving mother to reconsider the woman she has become? And what of Zach? Is he beyond Lexi’s reach? This breathtaking drama raises profound questions about the nature of love, loss…and forgiveness.

The First Ladies


From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama, 4th Edition
Betty Boyd Caroli
Publisher: Madison Park Press, April 10, 2009
Review: Once considered to be a ceremonial backdrop to the presidency, the role of first lady has developed into something far more important. With a new first lady in the White House, Americans are once again talking about what’s been called the toughest unpaid job in the country. How much power does the position actually hold? How publicly should that power be wielded? And how have first ladies throughout American history reflected the changing role of women in our society? In a newly updated edition of her acclaimed The First Ladies, Betty Boyd Caroli provides profiles of all the women—from Martha Washington to Michelle Obama—who have held this prestigious title. Covering the background, marriage and accomplishments and failures in office of each woman, it is a remarkable portrait of a unique place in a unique government.
This remarkably diverse lot included Abigail Adams, whose “remember the ladies” became a twentieth-century feminist refrain; Edith Wilson, who alone controlled access to the President when he suffered a stroke; Jane Pierce, who prayed her husband would lose the election; Helen Taft, who insisted on living in the White House, although her husband would have preferred a judgeship; and Pat Nixon, who perfected what some have called “the robot image.” They ranged in age from early 20s to late 60s. Some received superb educations for their time, while others had little or no schooling. Including the courageous and adventurous, the emotionally unstable, the ambitious and the reserved, these women often did not fit the traditional expectations of a presidential “better half.
Taking us up to the modern era, Caroli also looks at the legacies of recent first ladies: Nancy Reagan, credited with raising the job to that of “Associate President”; Barbara Bush, who took a more traditional approach; Hillary Rodham Clinton, credited for having changed the position radically; and Laura Bush, who eschewed political action but was nonetheless passionately committed to enriching education and boosting literacy. And in the book’s newest entry, she explores the tantalizing first ladyship of Michelle Obama. A Princeton University and Harvard Law School graduate, an accomplished attorney, and a woman who has been compared to Jacqueline Kennedy, this dynamic new first lady is poised to bring a style and substance all her own to the White House. How will she reinvent the position? In what ways will she influence her husband’s presidency? How will she be remembered among the illustrious roster of previous first ladies?
These portraits—accompanied by more than two hundred photographs—offer not only an engaging look at these remarkable first ladies, but show how, in many cases, they helped change the image of women in America.

A Brilliant Darkness


The Extraordinary Life and Mysterious Disappearance of Ettore Majorana, the Troubled Genius of the Nuclear Age
Joao Magueijo
Publisher: Basic Books Inc., December 01, 2009
Review: On the night of March 26, 1938, a 31-year-old Italian nuclear physicist named Ettore Majorana boarded a ship in Palermo, Italy and disappeared. Although he had left behind a set of suicide notes, his body was never recovered, and over the next few decades, he was allegedly sighted on numerous occasions. What really happened to him? That’s the central mystery of A Brilliant Darkness.
Joao Magueijo does an excellent job portraying Majorana’s early life and rise to fame. Born in Sicily, he exhibited extraordinary mathematical gifts at an early age. He later became a leading member of the “Via Panisperna Boys,” a group of physicists directed by Enrico Fermi, and succeeded in predicting the behavior of a mysterious new particle—the neutrino—in terms that are only now being probed. Specifically, he theorized that a neutrino is indistinguishable from its antiparticle, suggesting an equivalence between neutrinos traveling backward and forward in time.
Magueijo reports on his travels to Italy to meet members of Majorana’s family, including the physicist’s 82-year-old sister-in-law. What emerges is a portrait of an eccentric genius whose motivations and emotional depths few of his peers could fathom. Despite a constant flow of ideas—including the earliest conception of the neutron and the strong nuclear force—Majorana never sought to publish his ideas, infuriating Fermi. Majorana may also have had the principle of nuclear fission within his grasp as early as 1934, but his apathy prevented him from developing it. (It wasn’t until 1939 that Hahn, Meitner and Frisch publicized uranium fission.) Did Majorana, having divined the destructive use to which knowledge of fission would be applied, simply decide to drop out of sight? When he took his final boat ride, Majorana had his passport and the equivalent of $70,000 with him; he was later allegedly spotted at a monastery in Naples, at a convent in Basilicata, and everywhere from Germany to California.
Looking for a good real-life mystery involving physics? A Brilliant Darkness is for you.

Lions of the West


Heroes and Villains of the Westward Expansion
Robert Morgan
Publisher: Algonquin Books Of Chapel Hill, October 18, 2011
Review: From Thomas Jefferson’s birth in 1743 to the California Gold Rush in 1849, America’s Manifest Destiny comes to life in the hands of a writer fascinated by the ways in which individual lives intersect and collectively impact history. In Lions of the West: Heroes and Villains of the Westward Expansion, Robert Morgan, the bestselling historian and biographer of Daniel Boone turns his storytelling skills to the lives of 10 American legends whose visions moved the young nation forward, for better or worse.
Jefferson, a naturalist and visionary, dreamed that the United States would stretch across the North American continent, from ocean to ocean. The account of how that dream became reality unfolds in the stories of Jefferson and nine other Americans whose adventurous spirits and lust for land pushed the westward boundaries: Andrew Jackson, John “Johnny Appleseed” Chapman, David Crockett, Sam Houston, James K. Polk, Winfield Scott, Kit Carson, Nicholas Trist and John Quincy Adams. Their tenacity was matched only by that of their enemies—the Mexican army under Santa Anna at the Alamo, the Comanche and Apache Indians, and the forbidding geography itself.
Morgan uses his skill at characterization to give life to the personalities of these 10 Americans without whom the United States might well have ended at the Arkansas border. Their stories—and those of the nameless thousands who risked their lives to settle on the frontier, displacing thousands of Native Americans—form an extraordinary chapter in American history that led directly to the cataclysm of the Civil War.
With the exception of one figure—Nicholas Trist—the lives of the men profiled in Lions of the West have been widely chronicled. But, by bringing their stories together, Morgan creates an integrated narrative in which the separate lives illuminate each other, and tell a larger story made up of complex events that stretch over a long period. They also form fascinating counterpoints. For example, after the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson embraced the diversity of peoples that westward expansion would bring into the new nation. Not 20 years later, Andrew Jackson waged war against the Creek Indians in one of the cruelest and most blatantly xenophobic acts in American history. And, whereas the figures Morgan writes about generally supported westward expansion, the astutely forward-looking John Quincy Adams understood that it was, among other things, a convenient diversion from the ugly issue of slavery.
Filled with illustrations, portraits, maps, battle plans, appendixes, notes and timelines, Lions of the West is a richly authoritative biography of America—its ideals, its promise and its destiny—that is as compelling as a grand novel.

Grant's Final Victory


Ulysses S. Grant's Heroic Last Year
Charles Bracelen Flood
Publisher: Da Capo, October 01, 2011
Review: Ulysses S. Grant was widely regarded as a modest, simple, faithful individual whose kindness and sincerity impressed even his political adversaries. Indeed, Robert E. Lee never allowed anyone to speak ill of Grant in his presence. Grant had set new standards of military honor with his gracious, simple treatment of Lee at Appomattox Court House. The day after Grant died, The New York Times ran a remarkable 68-page obituary of the former president.
Included with the obituary was an interview with Confederate General James Longstreet in which he described Grant as “the truest as well as the bravest man who ever lived.” Grant’s bravery had been evident on the battlefield—and in the battle he waged against the throat and mouth cancer that claimed his life. Weak, dying and destitute, Grant spent his final days working on his memoirs. The future profits from the book would help save his family from financial ruin. In Grant’s Final Victory, Charles Bracelen Flood recounts the dying man’s race against the clock to see the project to fruition.
No stranger to poverty, Grant was penniless during his pre-Civil War years. At one point, having resigned from the regular army to avoid a court martial for being drunk on duty, he peddled firewood from a wagon on the streets of St. Louis. Before commanding the Union Army, Grant failed as a farmer and realtor. In December 1857, he pawned his gold watch for two dollars to buy presents for his wife and children. His fortunes improved after the Civil War.
At the time, presidents did not receive pensions for their service and Grant, financially naive by nature, often miscalculated his own expenses. Grant left the White House with relatively little money saved from his army pay and presidential salary. While on a two-year trip around the world with his wife, Julia, Grant ran out of money. The couple was only able to continue on the trip after their son sent them $60,000.
In 1884, Grant lost all of his money in a terrible stock swindle. Shortly afterward, he learned he had terminal cancer. Encouraged by his good friend Mark Twain, he began to write his memoirs. As Grant continued his work, suffering increasing pain, the American public became aware of this race between Grant’s writing and his fatal illness. Twenty years after his respectful and magnanimous demeanor at Appomattox, people in both the North and the South came to know Grant as the brave, honest man he was, now using his famous determination in this final effort.
Grant finished his memoirs just four days before he died in July 1885. Published after his death, it became an instant bestseller, restoring his family’s financial health and helping cure the nation of bitter discord.

Consciousness Beyond Life


The Science of Near-Death Experience
Pim van Lommel
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, June 08, 2010
Review: Dr. Pim van Lommel risked his reputation when he launched an in-depth examination of Near-Death Experiences, interviewing 344 heart patients who had clinically died. Of these, 62—or 18%—reported experiences after the medical monitors had pronounced them dead.
Dr. van Lommel published the results of his study, asserting that NDEs are authentic experiences which can’t be reduced to the imagination, psychosis or oxygen deficiency. In Consciousness Beyond Life, he explains how people who are clinically dead can be transformed, illustrating his argument with stories of those who have gone through an NDE.
Our consciousness doesn’t always coincide with the functioning of our brain—consciousness beyond life is, in fact, a reality.

A Memoir of Life with Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961-1969
David Eisenhower
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, October 26, 2010
Review: When President Dwight Eisenhower left Washington, D.C., at the end of his second term in 1961, he retired to a farm in historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that he had bought a decade earlier. Living on the farm with the former president and his wife, Mamie, were his son, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren, the oldest of whom, David, was just entering his teens. In this engaging and fascinating memoir, David Eisenhower—whose previous book about his grandfather, Eisenhower at War, 1943–1945, was a bestseller and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize—provides a uniquely intimate account of the final years of the former president and general. Drawing on personal stories, letters, diaries and the reminiscences of Eisenhower’s closest friends, it is a rare look at both the rewards and challenges of a post-presidential career.
In Going Home to Glory, Dwight Eisenhower emerges as both a beloved and forbidding figure. He was eager to advise, instruct and assist his young grandson, but as a former general of the army and president, he held to the highest imaginable standards. At the same time, Eisenhower was trying to define a new political role for himself. Ostensibly the leader of the Republican Party, he was prepared and willing to counsel his Democratic successor, John F. Kennedy, who sought instead to break with Eisenhower’s policies. (In contrast, Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon Johnson, would eagerly seek Eisenhower’s advice.) As the tumultuous 1960s dawned, with assassinations, riots and the deeply divisive war in Vietnam, plus a Republican nominee for president in 1964 whom Eisenhower considered unqualified, the former president tried to chart the correct course for himself, his party and the country. Meanwhile, the past continued to pull on him as he wrote his memoirs, and publishers and broadcasters asked him to reminisce about his wartime experiences.
When his grandfather took him on a post-presidential tour of Europe, David saw firsthand the esteem with which monarchs, prime ministers and the people of Europe held the wartime hero. Then, as later, David was under the watchful eye of a grandfather who had little understanding of or patience with the emerging rock ’n’ roll generation. But even as David went off to boarding school and college, grandfather and grandson remained close, visiting and corresponding frequently. David and Julie Nixon’s romance brought the two families together, and Eisenhower strongly endorsed his former vice-president’s successful run for the presidency in 1968.
With a grandson’s love and devotion but with a historian’s candor and insight, David Eisenhower has written a remarkable book about the final years of a great American whose stature continues to grow.

Wild Bill Donovan


The Spymaster Who Created the OSS and Modern American Espionage
Douglas C. Waller
Publisher: The Free Press, February 08, 2011
Review: Review by Geoffrey Wawro
Born and raised in an Irish Catholic family from the wrong side of the tracks in Buffalo, “Wild Bill” Donovan rose through the ranks by charm, energy and an eye for the main chance. Donovan read voraciously, danced and sang beautifully, and tore up the gridiron in college. He fought heroically in World War I, earning the Congressional Medal of Honor for his valiant conduct in the Meuse-Argonne. Donovan never manifested fear or nerves, whether in battle with the Germans or Buffalo’s army of bootleggers after the war, when Donovan served as an incorruptible federal prosecutor. A Republican lawyer, Donovan insinuated himself into FDR’s inner circle (they had been classmates at Columbia) and became his director of intelligence in 1941, a post that evolved into the OSS, and eventually the CIA.
Donovan’s scintillating life lends itself to biography, and Waller does well with it. The book’s pace reflects the restless life of its subject; although he married into Buffalo society, Donovan worked too hard to be much of a father or husband. His blood enemy in life was, not surprisingly, the priggish J. Edgar Hoover. Donovan was everything Hoover was not: manly, charismatic, affable and a war hero.
Waller’s book is most notable for its realism; Waller makes clear that Donovan was no wunderkind. Although he set up OSS stations in a dozen countries to spy on the Axis powers, much of that vaunted intelligence work involved little more than passing on “uncorroborated gossip.” And Donovan was as vulnerable as senior officials are today to Washington bureaucracy. He tangled with the War Information Office, the Budget Bureau, the Department of the Interior (which tried to arrest his couriers for speeding as they hustled between government offices with wartime intelligence) and, of course, with the FBI. When FDR tried to mollify a frustrated Donovan by promoting him to general, the Army tried to have Donovan promoted admiral instead—to make him the Navy’s problem.
Donovan was happiest in the field. Weary of Washington infighting, he joined the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, went ashore with the Big Red One, single-handedly fought off an Italian patrol with a light machinegun, then commandeered a jeep and roared off to meet his old friend George Patton for a K-ration lunch. Donovan then toured the world, posting through the Balkans, Russia, India and China, before trying to wedge himself into the D-Day landings. This time, he was thwarted by Marshall, Ike and Forrestal, who barred him from the invasion force. Donovan, of course, never took "no" for an answer, and wangled his passage to Omaha Beach aboard a Navy cruiser. There he flung sabotage units inland, ignoring his faraway masters in Washington, as he had always done.
FDR’s death in office deprived the Republican Donovan of his Democratic mentor, and he immediately fell from favor. Both President Truman and FBI Director Hoover resisted Donovan’s efforts to prolong the life of the OSS, but “Wild Bill’s” legacy would be Truman’s National Security Act of 1947, which created a Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council to collect and analyze foreign intelligence. When Donovan died in 1959, Ike dubbed him “the last hero,” a fitting epitaph for a man who had proven as fearless in the lobbies of Washington as he had in the trenches of the Argonne.

Christian Mystics


365 Readings and Meditations
Matthew Fox
Publisher: New World Library, March 01, 2011
Review: Matthew Fox notes that, when Albert Einstein was asked if he had any regrets, he replied, “I wish I had read more of the mystics earlier in my life.
Christian Mystics offers 365 quotations from Christianity’s greatest mystics over the past 2,000 years, celebrating their path with insightful commentary and the thoughts of some of history’s greatest visionaries. Many, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King, Jr., challenged orthodoxy and paid the price. Others, like 14th-century Julian of Norwich, kept their solitude, leaving their writings for later generations.
The daily readings—for people of all faiths or no faith at all—speak to the sacredness of the earth, compassion, creativity, sacred sexuality and peacemaking.

Holy Rollers



ReShonda Tate Billingsley
Publisher: Simon And Schuster, Inc., July 06, 2010
Review: New from #1 Essence® bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley comes a touching, at times hilarious, story of faith, love and friendship as three vixens fed up with the drips and dregs of the dating scene set their sites on becoming ministers’ wives.
Audra, Juanita (Nita) and Coco are burned out on relationships. Coco’s sporting another black eye from her abusive boyfriend. Single mom Audra still can’t seem to find a suitable father-figure for her young son. And Nita, bored of her empty club-hopping lifestyle, wants to settle into something real. So Audra devises a plan that the others think is crazy, but they go along with it anyway. Donning their Sunday best and masquerading as devout church goers, the three lifelong friends head to a local conference for ministers, where they hope to find reliable, responsible, financially secure men.... But they’re going to be met with some resistance: from the other golddiggers who have the same plan in mind; from the drama of their own lives getting in the way; and from “the Holy Rollers,” a protective band of female church members who want their pastor to stay single. Can they make it work? Or will all their scheming backfire in the end?

How Firm A Foundation (Safehold #5)



David Weber
Publisher: Tor Books, September 13, 2011
Review: For five years, the Charisian Empire has survived all that the Church of God Awaiting has thrown at it. Yet, despite it’s chain of hard-fought naval victories, Charis is still on the defensive. The only way it will survive is to defeat the Church on its own ground. But how does it take the war to a foe whose population outnumbers its own fifteen to one? How does it prevent that opponent from rebuilding its fleets and attacking yet again?
In How Firm a Foundation—the thrilling fifth book in David Weber’s bestselling Safehold series—Charis has no answer to those questions. But it needs to find one—quickly. As the Inquisition claims more innocent lives, and its agents foment rebellion against the island’s mainland allies, assassins stalk Emperor Cayleb and Empress Sharleyan. And Merlin Athrawes has finally learned what secret sleeps beneath the far-off Temple in the Church’s city of Zion.
Born in war, the Charisian Empire has always had to fight for its survival. What most do not know is how much more it’s fighting for. Cayleb, Sharleyan and Merlin do know. And they’re also well aware that, if they lose, the penalty will be far worse than their own deaths and the destruction of all they love....

An Incomplete Revenge


A Maisie Dobbs Novel
Jacqueline Winspear
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc., February 19, 2008
Review: In her fifth outing, psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs delves into a strange series of crimes in a quaint rural community.
Having recently solved an especially disturbing murder, Maisie Dobbs is relieved to accept an apparently straightforward assignment from an old friend to investigate certain matters concerning a potential land purchase. Her inquiries take her to a picturesque village in Kent during the hop-picking season, but beneath its pastoral surface she finds evidence that something is amiss. Mysterious fires erupt in the village with alarming regularity, and a rash of petty crimes suggests a darker criminal element at work.
As Maisie discovers, the villagers are bitterly prejudiced against the gypsies who flock to Kent at harvest time—even more troubling, they seem possessed by the legacy of a wartime Zeppelin raid. Maisie grows increasingly suspicious of a peculiar secrecy that shrouds the village, and ultimately she must draw on all her finely honed skills of detection to solve one of her most intriguing cases.
Rich with Jacqueline Winspear’s trademark period detail, this latest installment of the bestselling series is gripping, atmospheric and utterly enthralling.

The Women Jefferson Loved



Virginia Scharff
Publisher: Harper Collins Pub., Inc. "Don'T Us, November 01, 2010
Review: A fastidious gatekeeper, Thomas Jefferson constructed a seemingly impenetrable wall between his public legacy and his private life. He was methodical about his correspondence, copying and filing away some letters, and destroying others that he deemed to be too private for public eyes. Sometimes, he closed his letters by entreating the recipient to “throw this in the fire.” His family carried on a tradition of carefully maintaining his privacy. As a result, early biographies of Jefferson failed to present a complete picture of the man. Not surprisingly, Jefferson’s most closely guarded secrets all had to do with the women in his life. As they’ve emerged over the years, the details of his intricate and unorthodox personal life have proven to be both intriguing and somewhat scandalous.
Breaking down the barrier between public and private histories, The Women Jefferson Loved presents an intriguing new portrait of the third president. Historian and author of Twenty Thousand Roads: Women, Movement, and the West Virginia Scharff draws from a wealth of newly available sources, including Jefferson’s own memorandums, family letters and artifacts from archaeological excavations of Jefferson’s Shadwell and Monticello homes. She takes a unique biographical approach, examining her subject through the eyes of the women who were closest to him. Jefferson, reveals Scharff, was not only deeply attached to the women in his life, but was also profoundly influenced by them.
Jefferson lived out his long life deeply entrenched in a multi-generational web of biological, social and emotional connections between his white family and the black family he sired with his slave. His was a house literally divided, with the white half of the family free, and the black half of the family designated as slaves. Separated by race but related by blood, the diverse group of women included Jefferson’s mother, Jane Randolph; his wife, Martha; her half-sister Sally Hemings, his slave mistress; his daughters; and his granddaughters. Rather than perfect role models, they “were flawed humans with fascinating stories, and they mattered,” explains Scharff. “Their lives, their revolutions, their vulnerabilities shaped the choices Jefferson made, from the selection of words and ideas in his Declaration, to the endless building of his mountaintop mansion, to the vision of a great agrarian nation that powered his Louisiana Purchase.
This accessible one-volume biography illuminates how the women in this Founding Father’s life helped shape his ideas and his vision for the country. Beneath the veneer, Jefferson was both “vulnerable and knowable, a man who makes sense, a man who belongs to us all,” contends Schraff.

Relentless



Dean Koontz
Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc./Div. of Random House, June 09, 2009
Review: Dean Koontz has proven time and again why he’s “a master of the edge-of-your-seat, paranoid thriller” (Newark Star-Ledger). But Relentless puts the bestselling author in a league of his own as he explores the razor-thin line between the best and worst of human nature.
Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a bestselling novelist who has everything he’s ever dreamed of—married to the love of his life, a genius child, even a great dog. On the heels of a bad review for his latest book from notoriously reclusive critic Shearman Waxx, Cubby has an accidental encounter with the poison-pen critic. And suddenly life takes a sharp 180-degree turn to the dark side. Waxx begins terrorizing Cubby's family and threatening slow and grisly deaths for each of them. But the seemingly hapless Cubby and his loved ones have more resilience than Waxx realizes—and they are not about to let a crazed, bow-tie-wearing psychopath destroy everything they hold dear.
Koontz is working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

White House Diary



Jimmy Carter
Publisher: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, September 20, 2010
Review: Each day during his presidency, Jimmy Carter made several entries in a private diary. The diary amounted to more than 5,000 pages—but this extraordinary document has never been made public, until now.
In White House Diary, Carter has selected his most illuminating entries to offer an astonishingly intimate view of his presidency. Day by day, we see his advocacy for nuclear containment and peace in the Middle East; witness his interactions with such complex personalities as Henry Kissinger, Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin and get the inside story of such seminal events as the Iranian hostage crisis. Accompanied by Carter’s annotated comments, White House Diary is a unique contribution to the history of the American presidency.

Adventures in Taxidermy
Melissa Milgrom
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pub. Co., March 08, 2010
Review: Many people might be tempted to dismiss taxidermy as the realm of trophy fish and jackalopes or an anachronistic throwback to the dusty diorama. Yet as Melissa Milgrom shows in Still Life, it is a world full of intrepid hunter-explorers, eccentric naturalists and gifted museum artisans, all devoted to the paradoxical pursuit of creating the illusion of life.
Led by Milgrom, we venture deep into this subculture of passionate animal lovers. As she explains, the first person to use the term “taxidermy” was the French naturalist Louis Dufresne, who wrote about it in 1803 and differentiated it from embalming and other kinds of preservation because its primary goal was aesthetic: to capture a species’ magnificence by faithfully replicating its every quirk and feature on a realistic mount. Its tools and techniques are described in colorful detail.
We journey from the family workshop of David Schwendeman, the last chief taxidermist ever employed by the American Museum of Natural History, to the studio where an English sculptor preserves the animals for Damien Hirst’s most disturbing artworks. Milgrom wanders through a storied British archive called Mr. Potter’s Museum of Curiosities to watch dealers vie for preserved Victorian oddities, and visits the Smithsonian Institution’s offsite laboratory, where taxidermists transform zoo skins into vivacious beasts. She tags along with a Canadian bear hunter—the three-time World Taxidermy Champion—as he resurrects an extinct Irish elk using DNA studies and Paleolithic cave art for reference. She even ultimately picks up a scalpel herself to take on a squirrel.
Still Life takes us deep into the world of taxidermy and reveals its uncanny appeal.

Giant Molecules


From Nylon to Nanotubes
Walter Gratzer
Publisher: Oxford University Press Inc., November 15, 2009
Review: Macromolecules—also known as polymers—are among the most versatile entities in the physical world. They allow us to see, hear, breathe, move and fend off viruses and bacteria; they make up the solid parts of our bodies; and they form paper, paints, adhesives and packaging. In Giant Molecules, Walter Gratzer offers a thorough and accessible guide to these small wonders.
As late as the 1930s, some scientists insisted that molecules with more than a few hundred atoms did not, and could not, exist. But not only do they occur in nature; we can create our own. Gratzer explores the structure of proteins such as albumin and hemoglobin, and the DNA and RNA molecules. As well, we can synthesize so-called “designer proteins” that glow fluorescent green when injected in animals.
Further along in the book, we turn to carbon and its remarkable variants that have been discovered in the past two decades or so. The buckyball, also known as buckminsterfullerene or carbon 60, is a famous example discussed here, as is the carbon nanotube, which—although 100,000 times narrower than a human hair—is the strongest material we know and has been envisioned as the basis of a “space elevator” reaching from Earth to orbit.
Meanwhile, from neoprene to Bakelite, the plastics industry has crafted a plethora of macromolecules with a huge range of applications. We retrace the development of nylon, as well as less successful creations such as DuPont’s artificial leather Corfam. Later on, Gratzer considers the variety of structural forms that polymer molecules can assume; profiles the engineering of molecules to serve as the basis of drug delivery systems; and highlights such marvels as polymeric conductors, also known as “plastic metals.” The book concludes with a look at innovative applications of the DNA molecule, including DNA computing.
Giant Molecules celebrates a fascinating class of objects that make life as we know it—and life itself—possible.
