Illus. in full color. Children will be cheered just contemplating the outrageous array of troubles they're lucky they don't have. "When I was quite young and quite small for my size, I met anold man in the Desert of Drize." The old man looks like a crossbetween a cartoon granddad and a swami; he sits on top of a cactus,and tells his young listener that the best way to get over any sadnessis to imagine all the ways you could be worse off. "Suppose, justsuppose, you were poor Herbie Hart, who has taken hisThrom-dim-bu-lator apart!"This has a more hurried, formulaic feelthan the best Seuss, and it seems to showcase a less acute grasp ofchild psychology than usual. (Does it really make a child feel betterto think of poor Harry Haddow, who, "try as he will, can't make ashadow," or Gucky Gown, "who lives by himself ninety miles out oftown"?) But the illustrations alone make this morality tale a minorclassic. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr
Beatrix Farrand: Private Gardens, Public Landscapes presents the life and work of one of the foremost landscape designers of the early 1900s. Born into a prominent New York family (she was the niece of Edith Wharton), Farrand eschewed the traditional social life of the Gilded Age to pursue her passion for landscape and plants. Many of her clients were members of the highest echelon of society with estates in Newport, the Berkshires, and Maine, but Farrand ultimately became a consultant for university campuses, including Yale and Princeton, and for public gardens, including the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at The New York Botanical Garden. Perhaps her best-known work is the extensive garden at Dumbarton Oaks, originally a private residence and now a research institute of Harvard University.
Deeply influenced by the English landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll, Farrand was known for broad expanses of lawn with deep swaths of borders planted in a subtle palette of foliage and flowers. Her gardens have been photographed at their peak especially for this book, and these lush illustrations are complemented by beautiful watercolor wash renderings of her designs, now preserved at the library of the University of California at Berkeley.

The Coming of the Book: The Impact of Printing 1450-1800 (Verso Classics, 10)
Books, and the printed word more generally, are aspects of modern life that are all too often taken for granted. Yet the emergence of the book was a process of immense historical importance and heralded the dawning of the epoch of modernity. In this much praised history of that process, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, as well as the study of modes of consciousness, to root the development of the printed word in the changing social relations and ideological struggles of Western Europe.

Can't tell a Gin Fizz from a Gimlet? Think a Sidecar is something you'd see at the racetrack?

The wedding ritual of the ancient Romans provides a crucial key to understanding their remarkable civilization. The intriguing ceremony represented the starting point of a Roman family as well as a Roman girl's transition to womanhood. This is the first book-length examination of Roman wedding ritual.Drawing on literary, legal, historical, antiquarian, and artistic evidence of Roman nuptials from the end of the Republic through the early Empire (from ca. 200 BC to 200 AD), Karen Hersch shows how the Roman wedding expressed the ideals and norms of an ancient people. Her book is an invaluable tool for Roman social historians interested in how ideas of gender, law, religion, and tradition are interwoven into the wedding ceremony of every culture.
