Chicka Chicka ABC Magnet Book
I really liked the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom story. This one was more for learning with the magnets. It was good, but not as good and catchy as the original.

The 4 pt font is too small to read without a magnifying glass
I understand it’s a reproduction but I assumed someone retyped it or it was a better facsimile than it is. They have tiny font with a lot of white space on the pages; I have to believe they could have made it a bit larger. In any case, my book arrived with the bottom covered in blue wax with no wax inside the packaging...

Amusing, thoughtful, lifetime collection of poetry by this entertaining provocative man.

Essays looking at the future of the Right to Die
Important new book on the right to die, edited by two British doctors who have long been in the field. They collected a bunch of essays on various Right to Die subjects, some still taboo -- like Old Age Rational Suicide. This book paves the way for future legal changes likely to come in the 21st century which will expa...

Gwande is an excellent writer, a courageous spokesperson about what really goes on at the end of life, and a leader in making us, as loved ones and people who will die, and the medical profession, look at what really matters in our struggle to keep people alive at any cost.

Helpful Addition to the End of Life Genre
As someone who's been in the right to die field for many years I still find it confusing about what to advise people about the best way to have a peaceful death when help from a doctor is unobtainable, as it is for most people around the world. Chabot's new addition to the collection that Derek Humphry correctly lists,...

Scholarly work on US race relations
A scholarly but readable account of race relations in the mid west in the 1900's. This is an era and locale not covered in the usual accounts of race relations and was shocking to me to understand the complexity and horror of people and families trying to live and survive in a highly racial America.

Japanese Incarceration
Wonderful account of the displacement and imprisonment of the Japanese-Americans during WWII. Cannot shed enough light on this disgraceful part of U.S. history. She does it clearly with great empathy for these innocent families torn from their communities and put in camps.

Outstanding book on the history, politics, and caste system of India.
I've been to India many times but have learned more from this excellent book than I ever knew. Every sentence is full of information. It is well researched, apparently unbiased (except toward democracy), and well written. We (people in a retirement community) are using it as a text for group study on India.
