Best suited for memoir fanatics. Some readers may take offense at Frank's blunt, crude language and descriptions, but others will relish his dark humor in recounting interactions among husband, wife, fellow workers, and Lady Wanda.
Rutkow tells stories both poignant (e.g., the destruction of the world's oldest tree) and inspiring (e.g., the formation of national parks to protect forested areas) and presents the facts of this history in an easy-to-absorb and clear manner. An excellent book for both academics and general readers, this is highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 10/21/11.]
With climate change and sustainability at the heart of this work, this solid investigation will be of great interest to both general and academic readers.
A highly personal yet well-researched reflection that will appeal to animal lovers, particularly the transformations of how animals are viewed in society, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, with suggestions to start rectifying the "worse." Recommended for public and academic libraries.
This timely, well-written work offers an insightful and inspiring look at gaining control of one's food and references other works that provide how-to knowledge and additional discussions of the current food movement. Although not a step-by-step planting guide, it contains sidebars full of helpful tips that may motivate black-thumbed gardeners to at least contemplate taking a trowel to dirt and begin a small garden of their own. Highly recommended.
Although Cohen's book is technical at times, educated lay readers interested in primate studies will appreciate his attention to detail and his engaging prose.
