Description: From primordial nothingness to this very moment, A Short History of Nearly Everything reports what happened and how humans figured it out. To accomplish this daunting literary task, Bill Bryson uses hundreds of sources, from popular science books to interviews with luminaries in various fields. His aim is to help people like him, who rejected stale school textbooks and dry explanations, to appreciate how we have used science to understand the smallest particles and the unimaginably vast expanses of space. With his distinctive prose style and wit, Bryson succeeds admirably. Though A Short History clocks in at a daunting 500-plus pages and covers the same material as every science book before it, it reads something like a particularly detailed novel (albeit without a plot). Each longish chapter is devoted to a topic like the age of our planet or how cells work, and these chapters are grouped into larger sections such as "The Size of the Earth" and "Life Itself." Bryson chats with experts like Richard Fortey (author of Life and Trilobite) and these interviews are charming. But it's when Bryson dives into some of science's best and most embarrassing fights--Cope vs. Marsh, Conway Morris vs. Gould--that he finds literary gold. --Therese Littleton

  Julia's Kitchen Wisdom: Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime in Cooking (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper))

 
Julia's Kitchen Wisdom: Essential Techniques and Recipes from a Lifetime in Cooking (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper)) under Large Print in The Books Store
Price: $19.95
Sale: $14.96
 
Manufacturer: Random House Large Print

Binding: Hardcover
Author: Julia Child
Publisher: Random House Large Print
Dewey Decimal Number: 641.5
Publication Date: 2000-11-14
Reading Level: 240
 
Description: What would you give to see the notes Julia Child keeps in her handwritten loose-leaf kitchen reference guide? Your wish is granted! This clever little volume was inspired by Child's notebook, compiled from her own "trials, remedies, and errors."

Organized by large category and technique, it's a very handy reference guide for anyone reasonably comfortable in the kitchen. Each section contains a master recipe followed by variations. The emphasis is on technique, so if you occasionally find yourself trying to remember at what temperature to best roast a duck, the best way to cook green beans and keep them green, or how to save your hollandaise, then this is the book for you. And what good is a reference guide without an index? As always, Child comes to our rescue with a fantastic, comprehensive index, 19 pages long for 107 pages of text, so we can find the answers to life's burning questions in a flash.

Part of what makes Julia Child such an icon is that she can describe a complicated dish, and in the next breath convince us to make it. Classic Chocolate Mousse, Sabayon, Scalloped Potatoes Savoyarde, and Butterflied Leg of Lamb sound manageable when they follow recipes for Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Scrambled Eggs. And with Child's help, they are. "Quick, snappy answers" for both basic and complicated cooking questions make this a work we'll never outgrow. And if Julia can use a cheat sheet, so can we! Fans of Child will love that her personality shows through in comments like, "Don't crowd the pan... or you'll be sorry," and, to introduce her Basic Vinaigrette Dressing, "I use the proportions of a very dry martini." Eight pages of photos taken by her husband, Paul, including one of Child with the famous dancing goose, make this even more of a treasure.

If there is anyone qualified to offer kitchen wisdom, it must be Julia Child. After a lifetime of cooking and teaching, her knowledge is a perfect gift for fans, novices, or anyone responsible for putting dinner on the table every night. --Leora Y. Bloom

  Naples '44: An Intelligence Officer in the Italian Labyrinth (Transaction Large Print Books)

 
Naples '44: An Intelligence Officer in the Italian Labyrinth (Transaction Large Print Books) under Large Print in The Books Store
 
Manufacturer: ISIS Large Print Books
Number of Items: 1
 
 
Binding: Hardcover
Author: Norman Lewis
Publisher: ISIS Large Print Books
Dewey Decimal Number: 940.548673092
Publication Date: 1997-04
Reading Level: 250
 
Description: The author was a young intelligence officer when the Allies occupied Naples late in 1943. He kept a diary of his experiences and 30 years later published it as this story.

It plunges us into the heart of a city devastated by war: hunger and plague stalk the streets; mothers turn prostitute for food, soap or cigarettes; black markets are a way of life. Even nature goes haywire: Vesuvius erupts.

Through it all, the Neapolitans -- ingenuous, indomitable, full of life, in the midst of death -- adapt, and survive. NAPLES `44 is above all a tribute to their spirit, and their city.
