Library News and Notable New Books
The Crawfordsville Library will be closed Sunday and Monday, May 27th and 28th, reopening Tuesday, the 29th at 9 a.m.
Decorating is the subject of three new manuals from Better Homes and Gardens: “Small Space Decorating”, “Real-Life Decorating”, and “New Decorating Book”. Other titles are This Old House’s “Easy Upgrades: Kitchens”, “Rethinking Digital Photography: Making & Using Traditional & Contemporary Photo Tools” and “The Book of CSS3: A Developer’s Guide to the Future of Web Design” by Peter Gasston, all designed as complete courses.
Three yellow books are “Dummies” products: “Job Searching with Social Media for Dummies” by Joshua Waldman, “Anatomy & Physiology for Dummies” by Maggie Norris, and “Grant Writing for Dummies” by Beverly Browning. From Teach Yourself Visually comes “HTML5” by Mike Wooldridge. From Nolo comes “101 Law Forms for Personal Use” by Ralph Warner. “Origami Zoo” features 25 paper animal creations from Paul Jackson. Dewalt’s “Construction Math” in a Quick Check edition shows how to calculate many kinds of estimates needed for building plans.
“Flying Fear Free” by Sandra Pollino gives seven steps to relieving air travel anxiety. It’s fun
to read as well as being helpful. “Coffee Is Good for You” by Robert Davis gives the truth about diet and nutrition claims, from Vitamin C and organic foods to low-carb and detox diets. “The Essential Phone Interview Handbook” by Paul Bailo prepares for the faceless interview, being ready no matter when a call comes, and protecting your professional presence. Jeff Eisenberg’s “The Bed Bug Survival Guide” says on the cover “The Only Book You Need to Eliminate or Avoid This Pest Now”.
Here are more authors’ explanations. William Doyle’s “A Soldier’s Dream: Captain Travis Patriquin and the Awakening of Iraq” tells of this American’s connection with the Iraqi people that was unique. He developed a relationship with its people that led to lower levels of violen
ce in that country, and he was adopted into their tribes; he’s called America’s T. E. Lawrence. “County” is David Ansell’s story of life, death, and politics at Chicago’s Cook County Hospital. Paul Brannigan’s “This is a Call” is the life and times of Dave Ghrohl, drummer for the band Nirvana and singer-songwriter for the Foo Fighters. ”Does the Noise in my Head Bother You?” is the rock ‘n’ roll memoir of Steven Tyler. Jack Abramoff’s “Capitol Punishment” is the “hard” truth about Washington corruption, from America’s most notorious lobbyist. New York Giants’ Linebacker Harry Carson’s story is “Captain For Life”.
On the subject of guns, three new books are “Standard Catalog of Handguns: The Collector’s Price and Reference Guide” by Jerry Lee, “Gun Digest Book of the Revolver” by Grant
Cunningham, and “Glock: The Rise of America’s Gun” by Paul Barrett. In “Keep Out!” Nick Redfern tells about top secret places governments don’t want us to know about like high security facilities, underground bases, and other off-limits areas. Martin Kemp has a book “Christ to Coke: How Image becomes Icon” that observes symbols like Christ, The Cross, the Heart, and The Lion, that dominate the media. “Spacesuit” by Nicholas de Monchaux is the story of the 21-layer spacesuit in 21 chapters addressing the 21 topics relevant to the suit.
