Cranes For World Peace
I recommend this book to teachers, librarians and students everywhere. I first read about Sadako Sasaki in the fabulous book "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" by Eleanor Coerr. I am a children and teen librarian and was moved by this young girl's courage and wish for world peace. I wanted to share this story with my "Teen Coffeehouse" group which meets on a regular basis. They too were touched by Sadako's story. We have gotten involved with the folding of 1,000 origami paper cranes and will be sending them to an elementary teacher in Hiroshima. He will be placing our 1,000 cranes under the Sadako Statue in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on August 6, 2000.

The book, "Children of the Paper Crane" by Masamoto Nasu has given us an in depth description on how this statue had come to be the worldwide known place where children from all over the world can visually show their want for peace all over the world.

It is a wonderful heartwarming book!

Beautiful Paperdolls
The Ann Estelle paper dolls are absolutely beautiful. They are much larger than the dolls in Mary Engelbreit's magazine which makes them the perfect size for a younger child. Also, the storage pockets provide an easy place to keep your dolls.

The Spirit of Fun
Another hit from the Waltons, this book is especially handy for making gift tags. Made on card stock (which you can buy in bulk in the computer paper section at Staples), the larger patterns could even serve as actual Christmas cards. My almost six-year-old daughter was able to cut out the simpler patterns, but a younger child would probably be quickly frustrated. My daughter really enjoyed decorating the cards that I cut out. Glitter glue works well. As always, the paper included is gorgeous. If only one could get more of it!

For the researcher or the enthusiast
Martin Gilbert, now Knighted as Sir Martin Gilbert, is one of the great historians of our time, and he has written the definitive biography of Sir Winston Spencer Churchill. He has been at work for 38 years, and the task is not yet complete. The biography itself was completed in 1988, the production of these companion volumes continues.

The biographic work itself is 8 volumes in length, and presently there are 15 additional companion volumes that contain every note and correspondence imaginable. These books get right down to the one-sentence telegrams of congratulation. To give you a sense of their scope and detail, this volume that covers 9 months runs to 1,370 pages with notes.

The books are fascinating for what they contain, and for the completeness they represent. All the information is here, these were not meant to be widely read, but to be documentary, so there is nothing missing. I also enjoy them as they give the reader a glimpse in to the world of the Biographer, a man who in this instance has spent nearly 40 years of his life on his subject.

These put the work of the Biographer in perspective. It may be more appropriate to say a Biographer of Mr. Gilbert's stature. It is often remarked that no biographical study has ever been so complete as his work of Churchill, and if you happen to have one of these books you will certainly see why. I enjoy reading them a bit at a time, as they bring you into Mr. Churchill's day, note-by-note, letter by letter, and they document an incomparable life.


The Churchill War Papers: Never Surrender May 1940-December 1940 (Churchill War Papers, Vol 2)

A wonderful collection for Churchill specialists
Never Surrender is yet another volume in what already is the longest biography in the world. (At least according to the good people at the guiness book of world records. ) It is a collection of all the speeches and papers of Winston Churchill during the most critical phase of his Prime Ministry, and perhaps the most critical phase of World War Two. In this volume we get to witness Churchill's reaction to Dunkirk, the fall of France, and the Battle of Britain, and we also get to witness Churchill's heroic response to them. In this volume we see Churchill at his absolute best.

The offical biography is written by Martin Gilbert, a task he assumed after Randolf, Winston Churchill's son, died. The bigraphy consists of eight biographic volumes, and each volume has a few volumes of relevant documents to support it. Never Surrender is one of the document volumes which support the biographic volume "Finest Hour: 1939-1941" which is perhaps the finest volume of the entire biography. With all biogrphic volumes and the supporting books, The entire biography now stands at 23 volumes. Roughly 7-10 more are expected.

Never Surrender is probably the finest supporting volume of the entire set. It covers possibly the most important moment in British history, and it is a fine read in itself thanks to the usual outstanding work of Gilbert. The book is not for everyone, only those well versed in Churchill lore, and also keep in mind the book is not a narrative, but more like a collection of letters. But to anyone truly interested in Chuchill, or this era of English history, the book is nearly a must-have.


City of Green Benches: Growing Old in a New Downtown (Anthropology of Contemporary Issues)(Paper)

An astute observer visits St. Petersburg, FL. Incredible!
Anthropology, history, and a journalistic slant all combine to provide a thorough understanding of how government and commercial mechanisms can harm a neighborhood and, thus, its inhabitants.

Maria Vesperi is an incredibly gifted writer who clearly knows the literature of sociology, anthropology, and economics. There's a good dose of symbolic theory woven into her text and it comes across seamlessly. A great read!

A fascinating primary source
Compiled and edited by William E. Hughes (who is the great-great grandson of Lt. Col. Newton T. Colby and a member of Old Baldy Civil War Round Table), The Civil War Papers Of Lt. Colonel Newton T. Colby, New York Infantry is the eye-witness account of a lieutenant colonel who served with the 23rd New York, the 107th New York at Antietam, Chancellorsville and Harper's Ferry, and at a later date with the Veteran Reserve Corps as superintendent of Old Capital Prison. Colby's keen observations and vividly recorded recollections of prominent figures in the Civil War, and his informative daily recountings and insights, add an extra dimension of humanity and understanding to the brutality of the war that divided America and its far reaching aftermath. A fascinating primary source, The Civil War Papers Of Lt. Colonel Newton T. Colby, New York Infantry is a welcome and much appreciated contribution to Civil War Studies collections.
