 Kathleen Dean Moore is a Thoreau for our time. An award-winning author, environmental philosopher, teacher and speaker, Moore's essays explore cultural and spiritual connections to wild, remote, ancient places, and call for a new worldview deeply rooted in the natural world.

GINA OCHSNER, author of The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight, joins A Book For All Seasons' three-author book buzz. (Book Buzz) |
 The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight is a bewitching novel of post-Soviet lives. It moves between the magical, the comical and the transcendent to portray a people who rely on dreams to defy the coming of dereliction and decay. Tanya tries to persuade American benefactors to revitalize her very dusty provincial museum, where fake exhibits have been lovingly crafted from cardboard, wire and glue. Meanwhile, in the courtyard of Tanya's apartment complex, a corpse refuses to decompose, taking flight, and dispensing more advice than anyone desires. "A heartbreaking comic masterpiece that already has a place in the literature of protest," says The Guardian.

 Pearl of China by Anchee Min $24.00
Award-winning author Anchee Min, born in Shanghai in 1957, was among the first generation raised in Maoist China. The bestselling author of four novels, Mim's memoir, Red Azalea was an international bestseller and a New York Times Notable Book.
Just released in March 2010, Min's latest novel is historical fiction based on the life of Pearl Buck. Pearl of China is the story of a friendship between Willow, the only child of a destitute family, and Pearl, the headstrong daughter of zealous Christian missionaries. Their friendship carries them through one of the most tumultuous periods in Chinese history. When civil war erupts between the Nationalists and Communists, Pearl is forced to flee the country just ahead of angry mobs. Willow, despite close ties to Mao's inner circle, will be tested by her choice to stay behind. Through love and joy, exile and imprisonment, the two women remain intimately entwined.
Pearl of China brings to life a courageous and passionate woman now hailed in China as a modern heroine. It tells the story of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers from the perspective of the people she loved and of the land she called home.

 Over-The-Counter Natural Cures: Take Charge of Your Health in 30 Days with 10 Lifesaving Supplements for Under $10 by Shane Ellison $15.99
Author Shane Ellison is an award-winning scientist with a master's degree in organic chemistry. He previously worked for Array BioPharma and Eli Lilly, but quit out of concern over pharmaceutical company practices. In Over the Counter Natural Cures, Ellison teaches readers how to easily and inexpensively boost their health and fill dangerous nutrition gaps. The supplements Ellison recommends are readily available at grocery stores, or over-the-counter at local pharmacies.
Obesity, lethargy, depression, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are ghastly epidemics in the United States — and in all of these conditions, nutrition plays a key role. How severe is this problem? According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 90% of Americans are nutrient deficient. America's malnourishment stems from over-dependence on prescription drugs and excessive consumption of sugar, artificial flavors, preservatives, and fast food.
Ellison shows you how to wake up with younger-looking skin; learn healthy alternatives to cholesterol-lowering drugs; get the $8 cure to blood clots; and defy obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other diseases. Over-the-Counter Natural Cures is your insider's guide to inexpensive, easy ways to dramatically boost your health in less than 30 days, and to stay fit and lean forever.

 The Animal Review: The Genius, Mediocrity, and Breathtaking Stupidity That Is Nature by Jake Lentz $15.00
The minute I discovered the "Animal Review" blog, I thought: I know a bunch of fifth-graders who would love this! And a whole bunch of adults — because, let's face it, most of my friends still have a fifth-grade sense of humor. In their latest blog, Lentz and Nash explain that jellyfish have no brains; and then point out that they also have only one opening for both the mouth and the ... right. "Known in the jellyfish community as 'The Great Mistake,' [this opening] serves to devour plankton, fish, crabs, barnacles and sometimes other jellyfish. And then to poop the same meals back out later. Adorable," they blog.
In the book The Animal Review, humorists Jacob Lentz and Steve Nash have expanded their blog to give authoritative listings and ratings of dozens of your favorite (and least favorite) animals. The entries mix fascinating animal facts with hilarious assessments, set off with humorously-captioned photos, and charts and graphs.
We can all feel good about the king cobra, say Lentz and Nash. That is an A-plus animal. Think about it—you don't want to be the one who gives it an A-minus. But what about the hippo? You may think it's bald and wrinkly and adorably fat, but when you get up close to give it a big hug, you'll realize it weighs up to eight thousand pounds and can bite you in half. D-minus. And let's not even get started on the alpaca.
The Animal Review is the definitive, highly biased, and frequently accurate report card on evolution's illustrious (and sometimes absurd) 3.5-billion-year career. Released in March 2010, and organized by biosphere, The Animal Review is a perfect mix of humor and fascinating biology. Sophisticated yet kid-friendly, this book will appeal to animal lovers of all ages.

 If Stones Could Speak: Unlocking the Secrets of Stonehenge
by Aronson, Marc and Mike Parker-Pearson $17.95
A National Geographic Young Adult non-fiction book
Released March 2010
What are the secrets of the ancient stone circle? Were the carefully placed stones a burial site, an ancient calendar, a place of Druid worship...or even a site of sacrifice? World-renowned archaeologist Mike Parker-Pearson has spent the last seven years on a quest to answer these and many other questions.
In If Stones Could Speak, award-winning author Marc Aronson joins the research crew and records their efforts to crack Stonehenge's secrets. National Geographic helped sponsor the Riverside archeological team's mission, and now young readers can journey behind the scenes to experience this groundbreaking story first-hand, through the eyes of the experts.
Mike and his team have revolutionized our understanding of Stonehenge by exploring the surrounding landscape for clues about the stones - an idea first suggested by a visitor from Madagascar. The results have been breathtaking: The team recently unearthed the largest Neolithic village ever found in England. Marc Aronson had total access to the site, the team, and their work over two seasons of digging and brings the inspirational story of the discoveries taking place at this World Historical Site to young readers. The informative and drama-driven text includes tales of dead bodies, cremations, feasting, and ancient rituals, as well as insights into the science of uncovering the ancient past.
The expert text, stunning photography, and explanatory maps and illustrations will all help young readers see this ancient monument in totally new ways, and inspire future generations of archaeological explorers.

Recommended for 12 and up.
Sixteen-year-old Jess Parker survives by staying invisible. After nine schools in ten years, she's come to terms with life as a perpetual new girl. Then, at Mt. Sterling High, Jess gets the chance of a lifetime: an invitation to join The Cinderella Society, a secret club of the most popular girls in school, where makeovers are the first order of official business. But there's more to being a Cindy than just reinventing yourself from the outside, a concept lost on Jess as she dives tiara-first into creating a hot new look.
With a date with her popular crush and a chance to finally fit in, Jess's life seems to be a perfect fairy tale. That is until the Wickeds—led by Jess's archenemy—begin targeting innocent girls in their war against the Cindys, and Jess discovers her new sisterhood is about much more than who rules Mt. Sterling High School. It's a centuries-old battle of good vs. evil, and the Cindys need Jess on special assignment. When the mission threatens to destroy her new dream life, Jess must choose between daydreams and honor. What's a girl to do when the glass slipper fits, but she doesn't want to wear it anymore?

 Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I Don't) by Barbara Bottner $17.99
Released March 2010
Recommended for ages 5-8.
"I'll never love a book the way you do," Missy tells Miss Brooks. Book Week is looming, but every book in the library strikes Missy as mild-mannered mush — too flowery, too furry, too clickety, too yippity. As for Miss Brooks herself, Missy thinks the librarian is a hippy-dippy literary cheerleader, willing to don a series of ridiculous costumes, including a hilarious, and Very Hungry Caterpillar.
But Miss Brooks remains undaunted. Missy's classmates have all found books they love—books about fairies and dogs and trains and cowboys. Miss Brooks is determined to find a book Missy will love if they have to empty the entire library to do it!
Barbara Bottner and Michael Emberley pay playful homage to the diverse tastes of child readers and the valiant librarians who are determined to put just the right book in each child's hands.
With laugh-out-loud funny full color illustrations!
