Patrick Carman
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Edgar knows that he should be working rather than climbing and swinging in the trees, but he just can't seem to help himself -- even if it does earn him a beating from Mr. Ratikan's stick. It would hardly be the first time and it isn't likely to be the last. He also ...

The Coming Economic Earthquake: Revised and Expanded for the Clinton Agenda
Larry Burkett
Moody Pr, 1994
Incredible book
This book clearly outlines why the recession is here and it was written in 1991 predicting it. Although the writer is Christian, he does not explain the recession as an end of times brought on by God. Previous reviews written by Christian haters should be ignored. ...

Simon Winchester
Harper Perennial, 2005
Fascinating, interesting, but wordy.
This is a generally well-written account of the famous volcanic eruption which was one of the first such major events to take place after the development of worldwide communication technology. The author has been criticized for including details - many details - about ...

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why
Amanda Ripley
Crown, 2008
Empowering
For me, as a New Yorker who used to work at The World Trade Center, this book was a heart pounder and a tear jerker.
It was also very empowering.
I now understand some of the behaviors I've seen and understand my own.
I know I can survive. It's not just luck.
I ...

A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906
Simon Winchester
HarperCollins, 2005
Eclectic excursion through history and science
This is four intertwined topics in one book, which means that you get either a highly informative amalgamation or a confusing muddle, depending on your personal taste. I'm inclined toward the former assessment, although I preferred Winchester's writing in his earlier ...

Little Earthquakes
Jennifer Weiner
Pocket Star, 2006
Much more than a good 'beach read'
Like everything I've read by Jennifer Weiner, I absolutely adored this book. It featured real, fully realized and emotionally intelligent characters -- both men AND women. I fell in love with Becky, Ayinde, Kelly and Lia, so much so that I didn't even have to look up ...

Love this series, and Branley's are among the best!
This book is a perfect introduction to volcanoes for K-2 level kids, and older kids or early readers may enjoy reading them alone. It is easy to understand and the illustrations are clear and nice-looking. Unlike some science books for kids, this series tends to be ...

Neil Morris
Crabtree Publishing Company, 1995
Great volcano book. Wonderful illustrations.
I grabbed a whole bunch of volcano books from our local public library (because our little boy thinks volcanoes are "neat"). This book was the best. It is so excellent that I decided to buy it.
