Blue Moon Soup: A Family Cookbookby Jane Dyer, Gary GossISBN 0316329916 (0-316-32991-6)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Blue Moon Soup: A Family Cookbook'Book summary:Blue Moon Soup will appeal to all the children in your house, even the ones who are now just kids at heart. The youngest ones will enjoy having it read to them, recipes and all, while they look at Jane Dyer's enchanting illustrations of dancing broccoli, a marching chicken, and a star-spangled, juggling clown. Hearing about Polka Dot Soup (black bean soup dotted with chopped sweet red pepper) and Brrroccoli Soup au Gratin (cheesy and creamy) might even enchant fussy youngsters into tasting something they normally shun. They can then assist in the kitchen as you make Ch-Ch-Chili or they can wonder at the magic of Abracadabra Soup, in which a beaten egg spins strands that cook in simmering, cozy chicken and rice soup (Avgolemono to the grown-up set).
Children old enough to chop can do much of the preparation for One Potato, Two Potato, as well as for Lickity Split Pea Soup. Ultimately, for soups that have become family favorites, older kids may want the accomplishment of cooking from scratch on their own. If they do, the grownups will have no complaint, as the dishes in Blue Moon Soup are as sophisticated as in any cookbook for adults. Most recipes are mild enough to suit young palates, as author Gary Goss uses the same seasonings as he would for adults, calling only for lesser quantities, such as one-half teaspoon of dry mustard in his fish soup, and two tablespoons of optional wine. For some youngsters, though, omissions may be desirable, while for the adults, adding more generous amounts of the seasonings will avoid blandness.
The recipes in Blue Moon Soup are grouped by the seasons, but stirring up a batch of Believe It or Not! Ice cream soup is sure to bring smiles all around the table at any time of year. --Dana Jacobi [via]

Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermeby Pierre Herme, Dorie Greenspan, Jean-Louis Bloch-LaineISBN 0316357413 (0-316-35741-3)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Company
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme'Book summary:Since Pierre Hermé is probably the best pastry chef in the world, and chocolate the best dessert flavor, it's no surprise that this stellar combination, presented in Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé is dazzling. Hermé's beautiful recipes are written by Dorie Greenspan, who also worked with him on his award-winning Desserts by Pierre Hermé, and the resulting creations are photographed as works of art by Jean-Louis Block-Laine.
Although Hermé is best known for his multilayered extravaganzas, this collection was written and tested for American home kitchens. So while there are a few mind-boggling, taste-bud-stretching experiences like Plaisir Sucre (hazelnut dacquoise, milk chocolate ganache, milk chocolate whipped cream, sheets of tempered milk chocolate, and a crunchy chocolate praline spread), most of the recipes are more than manageable, and just as scrumptious. Lacy Coffee-Cocoa Nougatine Cookies are crisp and delicate and extremely flavorful. The Chocolate Macaroons are the perfectly smooth, ganache-filled ones you see all over Paris, and with Hermé and Greenspan to walk you through the steps, the best results are guaranteed. Pistachio Waffles with Chocolate Cream are crispy outside and moist and tender inside, and the combination of hot and cold makes them even more memorable. Chocolate Rice Pudding is far from old-fashioned, and while it makes a delectable stand-alone dessert, Hermé suggests making it part of a truly grand dessert: his Pear and Fresh Mint Tempura with Chocolate Rice Pudding is an amazing combination of flavors, textures, and temperatures.
In recipes for everything from Hot Chocolate to Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet, from Moist and Nutty Brownies to the legendary chocolate caramel extravaganza the Faubourg Pave, readers will benefit from Hermé's 25 years of experience, his limitless creativity, and his obvious passion for his profession. This volume is destined to become a classic. --Leora Y. Bloom [via]

[Read by Robert Morris]
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., is considered one of the greatest justices of the United States Supreme Court and profoundly influenced American jurisprudence, especially in the areas of civil liberties and judicial restraint. At the same time, his abilities as a prose stylist earned him a position among the literary elite.
In The Common Law, derived from a series of lectures given at the Lowell Institute in Boston, he systematized his early legal doctrines, creating an enduring classic of legal philosophy that continues to be read and consulted today. Beginning with historical forms of liability, it goes on to discuss criminal law, torts, bail, possession and ownership, contracts, successions, and many other aspects of civil and criminal law. Holmes brought law to modernity by establishing it as a function of history and policy, not just logic and precedent. Avoiding specialized language of his own or any other era, Holmes explains concepts with scintillating clarity. This is a lucid, accessible, and continually relevant sourcebook for students and laymen alike. [via]More editions of The Common Law:

Demon of the Waters: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Whaleship Globeby Gregory GibsonISBN 0316299235 (0-316-29923-5)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Demon of the Waters: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Whaleship Globe'Book summary:In 1985 Greg Gibson was sent a handwritten journal discovered by a small time book dealer in rural Indiana. It turned out to be a young officer's account of the 1825 naval expedition dispatched to the Pacific with orders to apprehend the perpetrators of the Globe mutiny. The mutiny and its aftermath were notorious as the goriest crime in American maritime history; involving hatchet murders, stabbings, shootings and a shipboard lynching. The long-lost journal was the first eyewitness account of the fate of those mutineers, and of the innocent men left at the mercy of the tattooed islanders who adopted and enslaved them.
At the center of the mutiny was a young man raised in a staunch Nantucket Quaker family. As a boy Samuel Comstock's head was filled with the stories of daring naval exploits and sea-faring adventure. As he grew older, these fantasies took a darker turn. One year into a Pacific whaling voyage, Comstock brutally murdered the captain and his officers. He and three accomplices then forced the terrified crew (among them his fifteen year old brother) to sail to the Mulgrave Islands where he planned to kill everyone aboard, destroy the ship, subdue the natives and rule the island as its king. In the confusion that followed, six of the innocent crew stole the Globe and piloted her, in an epic shorthanded voyage, 7500 miles back to South America. There they told the world of the terrible events they had witnessed. The Navy sent out its expeditionary force and seventeen-year-old midshipman Augustus Strong penned the journal that would resurface 175 years later.
The story of the Globe mutiny is one of unending fascination. Dovetailing Gibson's riveting account of the mutiny is the history of the sperm oil industry, its Nantucket Quaker powerbrokers, the growth of American naval influence and how their combined agendas played out in the remote reaches of the Pacific. Above all, Demon of the Waters is, in the tradition of Nordhoff and Hall's Mutiny on the Bounty, a story of men and the sea.
Brilliantly conceived, gripping, horrific, and insightful, Demon of the Waters is destined to become a classic of sea adventure. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Desserts by Pierre Herme'Book summary:Master pastry chef Pierre Hermé creates desserts that look too good to be eaten. Whether your own renditions will look quite as exquisite is another question! But finding out is definitely worth the time investment. Here are Lemon Crepes to die for, a Golden Pearl Brownie cake that will send your taste buds spinning in an orgy of taste, and delicate Orange Tuiles that are so light and dainty they practically melt in your mouth. A majority of the recipes do require some more advanced culinary skills--and a patient disposition.

Thankfully, Desserts offers a wealth of helpful information for cooks--listing the essential equipment and ingredients required for pastry perfection and a dictionary of dessert terms. Beautiful photographs make the desserts shimmer in a translucent light, crying out for you to try your hand at creating them. So, with a little endurance and love, you will be well rewarded with your choice of more than 100 heavenly desserts. --Naomi Gesinger [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mad About the Sixties: The Best of the Best Decade'Book summary:When American kids of a certain vintage--Bill Clinton, for example, but not Bob Dole--put down their childish things, they picked up MAD magazine. It didn't leave their hands until adulthood hit, and maybe after. The magazine ain't what it used to be, so it's easy to forget how keen it once was. MAD About the Sixties is a long-overdue collection of material from that seminal humor magazine's salad days. It's a welcome reminder that when MAD was good, it was very, very good: it featured solid writing coupled with great art, month after month. The movie and television parodies ("Bats-Man," "Star Blech") are sure to be a hit, whether you saw the originals the first time around or as reruns. While it helps to have lived through the era--particularly for the ad parodies--there's enough generic daffiness in MAD About the Sixties to satisfy the reader who never saw Wings, much less Paul McCartney's other band.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A March to Madness: The View from the Floor in the Atlantic Coast Conference'Book summary:In terms of work ethic, John Feinstein is the sports equivalent of Stephen King: he's tireless, prolific, and multifaceted. With a past-performance line that includes A Season on the Brink, A Good Walk Spoiled, and A Civil War, he's regularly in the running for his genre's MVP. A March to Madness, which chronicles the 1996-97 Atlantic Coast Conference's ineluctable journey to March Madness, continues his string. Exhaustively reported, and penned with as much poignancy as panache, it's the story of the most competitive college basketball conference in the U.S., filtered through the eyes--and complex lives--of its head coaches. Coaching young in-your-faces is never easy; it's even harder in a pressure cooker such as the ACC, where expectations are enormous, winning is essential, and an NCAA tournament bid is requisite for survival. Feinstein had remarkable access to his high-profile, high-strung subjects, such as Dean Smith, Bobby Cremins, and Mike Krzyzewski, and the drama he records is every bit as fast-paced and stunning as a close Duke-North Carolina game with the final seconds ticking off the clock.

Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolutionby Paul Hawken, Amory B. Lovins, L. Hunter LovinsISBN 0316353000 (0-316-35300-0)
Softcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution'Book summary:In Natural Capitalism, three top strategists show how leading-edge companies are practicing "a new type of industrialism" that is more efficient and profitable while saving the environment and creating jobs. Paul Hawken and Amory and Hunter Lovins write that in the next century, cars will get 200 miles per gallon without compromising safety and power, manufacturers will relentlessly recycle their products, and the world's standard of living will jump without further damaging natural resources. "Is this the vision of a utopia? In fact, the changes described here could come about in the decades to come as the result of economic and technological trends already in place," the authors write.
They call their approach natural capitalism because it's based on the principle that business can be good for the environment. For instance, Interface of Atlanta doubled revenues and employment and tripled profits by creating an environmentally friendly system of recycling floor coverings for businesses. The authors also describe how the next generation of cars is closer than we might think. Manufacturers are already perfecting vehicles that are ultralight, aerodynamic, and fueled by hybrid gas-electric systems. If natural capitalism continues to blossom, so much money and resources will be saved that societies will be able to focus on issues such as housing, contend Hawken, author of a book and PBS series called Growing a Business, and the Lovinses, who cofounded and directed the Rocky Mountain Institute, an environmental think tank. The book is a fascinating and provocative read for public-policy makers, as well as environmentalists and capitalists alike. --Dan Ring [via]

The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV And AIDSby Edward HooperISBN 0316371378 (0-316-37137-8)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV And AIDS'Book summary:For all the devastation and suffering AIDS has caused worldwide, we have devoted surprisingly little attention to its beginnings. Former UN official and BBC correspondent Edward Hooper hopes to find the source of AIDS in The River, a stunningly comprehensive yet deeply engaging scientific history of the disease. Through more than 10 years of research comprising over 600 interviews and untold hours of library work, Hooper has uncovered a complex, interlocking set of stories--of scientific research, of medical assistance to the Third World, of political and economic exigencies that drive the courses of our lives--and brought them together in over 1,000 pages of text, footnotes, references, and illustrations.
His thesis, that HIV made the jump from simians to humans via the administration of oral polio vaccine in Africa in the 1950s, is still controversial, but his arguments are powerful, broad, and undeniable--all that is lacking is conclusive proof. Like a good scientist (and, sad to say, unlike any HIV researcher to date), he offers several easy tests of his hypothesis. His tales of brilliant epidemiological deductions, biochemical comparisons, and physiological insights ought to convince the medical establishment that the answer can and should be found, both to help us deal with the current crisis and to keep us from creating new ones of its ilk. In a litigation-weary world, though, it seems that it will take the kind of tireless, impartial research found in The River to show us--and our leaders--that blame should take a back seat to truth when extreme circumstances demand it. --Rob Lightner [via]

Terrified yet defiant, Hellman refused to incriminate herself or others, and managed to avoid trial. Nonetheless the experience brought devastating controversy and loss. First published in 1972, her retelling of the time features a remarkable cast of characters, including her lover, novelist Dashiell Hammett, a slew of famous friends and colleagues, and a pack of "scoundrels" -- ruthless, ambitious politicians and the people who complied with their demands.

› Find signed collectible books: 'There Once Was a World: A 900-Year Chronicle of the Shtetl of Eishyshok'Book summary:This is the history of a singular yet representative Jewish community from its origins in the Middle Ages to its destruction during the Second World War. For 900 years, this Polish shtetl was a home to generations of Jewish families. In 1944, almost every Jew in Eishyshok was murdered, and with them died a way of life that had survived since the eleventh century. Yaffa Eliach was four years old when the Nazis entered the town and machine-gunned all but thirty-six of its inhabitants. She and her family hid for two years in forests and in a tiny cellar beneath a pigsty. She has devoted the last seventeen years to documenting the stories of the other inhabitants of Eishyshok, collecting thousands of photographs and personal stories from all over the world. The result is this extraordinary book, which weaves these stories into a comprehensive and moving study of shtetl life and culture. Yaffa Eliach has written a landmark history that triumphantly brings to life a people and a world the Nazis sought to destroy. [via]
