A well-documented look at the submarine community that combines true crime with science writing and history. It’s a good pick for fans of Erik Larsen, as Frank also intersperses the events of a crime within a subject’s larger context, all in engaging and haunting writing.
A lovely little book for plant and quotation lovers that’s designed for meditative enjoyment. It pairs well with Alice Peck’s The Secret Language of Herbs, but some of her opinions about alternative medicine may be off-putting to some readers.
This is an essential and unique memoir that should be read by those wanting a better understanding of military families’ difficulties and the ramifications of sending loved ones to war. Collections with PTSD memoirs should also consider this work.
While encyclopedic in structure, this is a readable work that adds to readers’ knowledge of viticulture and the processes that make wine what it is. The book has an excellent, well-cited index and an extensive bibliography too. Aspiring or current wine connoisseurs will want this on their shelves.
This well-researched biography is recommended for business history collections. A fun related read, Louise Claire Johnson’s Behind the Red Door, offers insight from an Arden intern who worked there in the early 2000s.
This work fills a real void in Civil War scholarship. It isn’t a revisionist history so much as a correction of the record, written with understanding and empathy.
An exceptional resource in which readers get a real flavor of the exciting and troubling times throughout the Village Voice’s run and the opportunity to draw their own conclusions about its rise (and fall in 2017). Recommended for academic libraries and comprehensive journalism collections.
With references, notes and an index, plus beautiful illustrations, this book would be perfect for high school or first- or second-year college students seeking a well-rounded view of history. An inspiring read.
