Insiders' Guide to San Diego, 6th (Insiders' Guide Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am finding this a great reference for all kinds of things you would want to know in getting to know the area. Seasonal/regional Festivals, snapshots of the flavor of each town are especially helpful and tons of things to do and to see are listed here. Lots of written info. Not many photos or illustrations,...

Secret Daughter: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This beautifully written book, Secret Daughter: A Novel, is one that will linger in my thoughts for a long time. It's a poignant story about family -- just who is "family" and what it means to be a part of one. It's also a brilliantly written testimony to mothers everywhere, for "if the mother falls,...

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've savored just about every word this man's ever written. I still vividly recall him at a lecture he gave in Berkley in 1972 standing at the lectern in his white Gatsby suit, starched pink shirt and nattily knotted tie. I can't recall the ostensible topic. He covered so much ground and had such a wealth...

Twenty Centavos: A Mystery Set in San Miguel de Allende Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)John Scherber's new novel "Twenty Centavos" is recommended for readers of smart, literate mysteries, as well as those interested in San Miguel de Allende. Who knew such intrigue lurked behind the high walls of the sleepy little Mexican town? "Twenty Centavos" starts with the murder of an art gallery...

The Necromancer (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) Review

John Steuart Curry: Inventing the Middle West Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)At last, John Curry has a book in print worthy of his art. Ms. Junker has suceeded in paying a noble yet sadly overdue tribute to this unique and often neglected artist. Curry's paintings capture the emotion and natural force of American scenes in a way that was very much his own. Works like "Tornado...

Beach Reading Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It should be a busy weekend for Tim Snow, a 20-something waiter at a restaurant in the Castro. Not only are gay visitors pouring into San Francisco for a massive party celebrating the birthday of disco legend Sylvester, but the weekend will also see protests and counterprotests as a infamous evangelist...

I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla: Raising Healthy Black and Biracial Children in a Race-Conscious World Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book covers a lot of ground. But as a father of a biracial son the most relevant parts for me dealt with light-skinned and biracial children. An important theme of the book is "Don't racialize childhood": Young children should be shielded from our adult racial baggage for as long as possible. Wright...

North Bay Trails: Outdoor Adventures in Marin, Napa, and Sonoma Counties Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I found North Bay Trails and the author's previous work, East Bay Trails, to be excellent. It provides great direction and is written from a hiker's perspective without confusing and unclear information that haunts so many guidebooks. The maps are always accurate and as fine as a bound format allows...
