Impact: Fifty Short Stories
Fannie Safier

Henry Holt & Company, 1996

A fabulous collection of short short stories for teachers
"Impact" is a book my school has used for nearly a decade as an introduction to the short story, literary issues, and writing projects. An excellent selection of 50 short-short stories, "Impact" follows up each story with a discussion of some appropriate literary ...
  
  











  



  
Tikki Tikki Tembo

Henry Holt & Company, Inc., 1977

Memorable . . .
This is, by far, one of the most memorable books of my childhood, and now I have passed this joy down to my children. The story is cute, and the words are catchy, but most of all how could you ever forget, "Tikki tikki tembo no sarembo chari bariruchi pip perri pembo" ...

Duchamp: A Biography
Calvin Tomkins

Henry Holt & Company, 1996

BRILLIANT!
I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful book to everyone who knows how to read English. Marcel Duchamp was perhaps the premier iconclast of the twentieth century, and the runners up might be Buckminster Fuller & Le Corbusier. The book is NOT a boring monograph; it ...
  
  











  



  
When Christ and His Saints Slept
Sharon Kay Penman

Henry Holt & Company, 1995

Stephen v. Maude
I've read all of the Brother Cadfael books, and the background of all of them involved a war between King Stephen and the Empress Maude for the throne of England. These backgrounds were only snippets, and I couldn't get a handle on what was actually happening in this ...
  
  











  



  
The Wall Street Gang.
Richard. Ney

Henry Holt & Company, Inc., 1974

Market Makers = Crooks-R-Us
An eye-opener. Even after all the security laws/regulations passed during/after the Great Depression, there is still an insiders club that exists within the Stock Exchanges. And that "club" continues to fleece the average retail investor. The Exchange rationalizes the ...
  
  











  



  
Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now
Barry Miles

Henry Holt & Company, 1997

How the Music Evolved
Barry Miles' biography of Paul McCartney (Many Years from Now) is distinctive from other Beatles's biographies for its detailed look at how all that iconic music came together. As one example, McCartney gives an insider's view of where he was and what he was doing when ...
  
  











  



  
The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies: Clear and Complete Advice from the Experts on Raising Your ...
Marianne S. Barber, Maryanne Bartoszek Scott, ...

Henry Holt & Company, 2001

Helpful guide to those with multiple food allergies
I found out my two-year-old son had a severe allergy to peanuts, but also lesser food allergies to milk, soy, eggs and wheat. After pulling my hair out wondering what to feed my son, I started looking for books and cookbooks on the topic. This is both, and it's great. ...
  
  











  



  
What's the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America
Thomas Frank

Henry Holt And Company, 2004

Another native supporter
I just want to say that this book is completely on target and right about the political mindset of Kansas citizens in addition to almost every other right-winged American. I should know -- I used to live in Kansas. Luckily, I spent most of my life growing up in NY ...

A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books
Nicholas A. Basbanes

Henry Holt and Company, 1995

I'm Normal
Ok not normal, but there are people out there that love books as much as I. Basbanes has created a brilliant collection of book collectors and collections. Any bibliophile without this book in his collection is just a reader
  
  











  



  
Escalante: The Best Teacher in America (An Owl Book)
Jay Mathews

Henry Holt & Company, 1989

Escalante: Si
A visiting nerd from Mars might well decide that sports was the cult/religion of choice among Americans. This conclusion would work if the visitor compared Sunday TV-tube activity with, say, church attendance. It would also make sense of activity at many American high ...
  
  











  



  
Holt Environmental Science
Karen Arms

Henry Holt & Company, 1996

You sent the wrong edition
How do I go about getting the latest 2007 edition and RETURN the 2000 copyright edition that you sent? This is not what I ordered. Thank you, KM
  
  











  



  
Cruel As the Grave: A Medieval Mystery
Sharon Kay Penman

Henry Holt & Company, 1998

First Penman book I read
I normally don't read mystery books and to top it off this was my first Penman book I read. I loved it. Yes, I figured it out before the ending, but the story was compelling and I enjoyed it anyway. I loved the setting and loved the characters she has created as well ...
  
  











  



  
Modern Chemistry
Raymond E. Davis, H. Clark Metcalfe

Henry Holt & Company, 2000

GREAT
I thought that this was a great book. I used it for honors chemistry in high school and used the book more than the teacher did because I thought that the book gave some really good examples and lessons, which were completely worked through. This is a great book for ...
