W Is for Wisconsin
Published in Hardcover by Trails Books (01 May, 1998)
Average review score:
A beautiful tribute to WisconsinThis book is beautifully written and illustrated. It includes many interesting tidbits about everyday things, such as Kleenx, vitamins, and the Ringling Bros. Circus. I've lived in Wisconsin for most of my life and still learned a lot from this book. It is perfect for a Wisconsin history course, or for a child doing research on Wisconsin for a school project.
The pictures are beautiful watercolor collages that make me homesick. In each picture there is a border with the names of towns in Wisconsin that correspond to the letters (ie W is for Waunakee, Waukesha, Watertown, etc.) and each printed letter is shown with its equivalent in American Sign Language.
This book is a beautiful tribute to Wisconsin!
War is a racket
Published in Unknown Binding by Noontide Press ()
Average review score:
He's right
In this short book, retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley D. Butler, winner of two Congressional Medals of Honor, describes his understanding of the motivations and causes of America's turn-of-the-century international wars (AKA: The Banana Wars) in the Carribean, South America, and China.
Here, General Butler explains the actual motivations for 'fighting for the USA' beyond the USA's borders and shores. The reader will learn how big business, hand-in-hand with government, is often the reason we get into wars outside our own country.
An extremely interesting book, complex yet clearly written, "War is a Racket" is relevant to today's situation and will help you understand how we choose our overseas fights and why we fight them.

What Can You Do with a Paper Bag?
Published in Paperback by Chronicle Books (June, 2001)
Average review score:
What Can You Do With a Paper Bag?This book, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a TERRIFIC book if you are interested in childrens' crafts and art. The book provides very detailed and easy-to-follow instructions on hat and mask making using your average grocery store variety paper bag (and a few other on-hand items). The hats and masks are all inspired by works of art found in the museum. Our elementary school are using these activities at our Spring Arts Festival. The results are dynamic and the costs for matierials is little to nothing.
What the butler saw
Published in Unknown Binding by Methuen ()
Average review score:
Surprisingly good and unexpectedIf you do not read or see any other Orton play, you should not pass on this one. I saw it in the local theater and they pretty much followed the script. I do not want to go into detail as the surprises; twists and dialog are what make the play.
A little info:
The first London performance of "What the butler saw" was at the Queen's Theatre by Lewstein-Delfont Productions Ltd. And H.M. Tennent Ltd. On 5 Mar 1969.
The Wild Gardener: The Life and Selected Writings of Eloise Butler
Published in Paperback by North Star Associates (01 March, 1992)
Average review score:
Insightful look at growth of great garderner and her gardensYou are what you grow. That is the message of this delightful volume about one woman with a horticultural vision that is a rare match in US lore. As told by Hellander, Eloise Butler brought a deep affinity for earth's pleasures to her work in studying plants, creating new gardens, and opening the world of plants and flowers to others through her writings. As a combination biography and gardening book, the reader finds new connections between the presonal and the petal. This is a great book for anyone with a love of gardening, of cultural anthropology, and of the curiousity to find out how a woman grows.
The Wine Butler: Your Personal Guide to Wine
Published in Map by ProGuidez, Inc. (01 March, 2002)
Average review score:
Very usefulNot being a wine expert, this guide gives me enough information to understand wine w/o feeling foolish. I am not that interested in wine to subscribe to a wine magazine, so this guide gives me just enough useful information. I leave it in the car and use it as a resource when I need it. Very clever idea.
Cheers!

Try something different....If you are looking for a book which examines women's health issues from a Maharishi Ayurveda perspective, this guide offers practical advice for physical, mental and emotional well-being.
I have tried various ayruvedic formulas and found them to be effective. If you need a source, feel free to write to me. There is an excellent site online and they also carry fun things like candles and rose water.
The World of Jeeves
Published in Hardcover by HarperCollins (June, 1989)
Average review score:
The Best Thingummy I Have Read of LateWhen you consider the box office gross for a gross piece of trash like "There's Something About Mary" or "American Pie" or "Scary Movie," it is enough to make you wonder if anyone is capable of producing intelligent, gentle humor anymore. I really don't think so. (P.G. Wodehouse is dead.) ...But there are over one million books selling better than Wodehouse's collection of Jeeves stories. Why is that? Could it be because Wodehouse stories don't have fart jokes and people [having sex] on any available piece of furniture? Perhaps. Instead, Wodehouse has created and peopled a world that is slightly askew but very recognizable: Bertie Wooster, the good-hearted lunkhead who is forever finding himself in a scrape, Jeeves, his butler, and the mastermind who extricates Master Wooster time and again, and a supporting cast of delightfully eccentric and colorful charachters: Aunt Agatha, Cyril, Bingo, Claude and Eustace, Honoria Glossop...the list goes on and on. Mr. Wodehouse's command of English, allusions to everything from the Bible to Shakespeare, and sparkling dialogue make his stories a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone. Turn off that VCR, tear up your Blockbuster card, and buy this book. You will find it much funnier than anything currently coming out of Hollywood.
