Preview Shelf by Janice Clauser
Library News and Notable New Books
Library's Holiday Party Scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2009
The Crawfordsville Library Youth Services staff will welcome readers and families to its Holiday Show next Tuesday, December 15 at 6:45 p.m. in the library's Donnelley Rooms on the lower level! The holiday spirit from Family Time Entertainment will include magic, audience participation, comedy and stories about December holiday events and traditions. Registration is not required.
Just placed on the Crawfordsville Library's shelf is "Hoosiers All", Emerson Houck's "most comprehensive book on Indiana's high school basketball history ever written - with 1200 schools included". A new autobiography is "A Life Decoded" by Craig Venter, subtitled "My Genome, My Life". He is the man who through vision, tenacity, and insight challenged conventional wisdom to reveal the human genetic code. Drafted to Vietnam as a Navy medic, he realized his interest was medicine, jump-started his education, and became an outspoken scientist. Gerald Martin's "Gabriel Garcia Marquez: A Life" is the first authorized biography of the 1982 winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, the most popular international novelist of the last 50 years. Raised by grandparents in a small town in Colombia, he became a provincial journalist before writing his fiction.
Scout Tufankjian's "Yes We Can" shows his photographs of Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
Marcos Witt's "Dile Adios a Tus Temores" in Spanish means how to overcome fear and live life to the fullest. Skye Jethani's "The Divine Commodity" is about discovering a faith beyond consumer Christianity. Daniel Goleman's "Ecological Intelligence" shows how, by considering the hidden impacts of what we buy, we can change everything in our experience. "Life Ascending" by Nick Lane lists the ten great inventions of evolution in a thoughtful and clear discussion of the history of nature's ingenuity. "On Kindness" by Adam Phillips and Barbara Taylor examines the pleasures and perils of this gentleness. The Dalai Lama offers a commentary about carefulness, patience, and wisdom as the Way of the Bodhisattva, entitled "For the Benefit of All Beings". "Titanic: The Ship Magnificent" Volume One: Design and Construction by Bruce Beveridge et al. contains the "blueprints" of her luxurious and advanced design.
Several new manuals deal with family challenges. Shirley Thomas' "Two Happy Homes" is a working guide for parents and stepparents after divorce and remarriage. "Step-Wives" by Lynne Oxhorn-Ringwood lists ten steps to help ex-wives and stepmothers end their struggle and put the children first. Carl Pickhardt offers "The Everything Parent's Guide to Children and Divorce". Matthew Cohen's book is "A Guide to Special Education Advocacy: What Parents, Clinicians and Advocates Need to Know". "Juvenile Court" is Leora Krygier's "Judge's guide for young adults and their parents".
The "IQ Puzzle Book Challenge" (well named) gives hundreds of different pictures "of logic" to overhaul our brains and excite our minds. The answers are in the back pages. The plus-size model Mia Tyler's "Creating Myself" tells how she learned that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and packages.
Here are new books about art. Jessica Hagy's "Indexed" shows ideas expressed by drawing a few circles with a few words. Simon Richmond's 'The Rough Guide to Anime" is a text about Japanese animation.
