Review:
Let us start with some cliches. Life is a hard teacher: she gives the test first, and the lesson afterwards. Good judgement comes from experience: experience comes from bad judgement. Those who do not learn from history (or History 205) are doomed to repeat it. We learn far more from failure than we do from success. And, finally, learn from the mistakes of others: you will never live long enough to make them all yourself. If there was ever a book concept made for the RISKS-FORUM Digest library (aside from Peter's own) it is this: great boneheaded ideas from the past. In this junior edition, four volumes divide that topic into exploration, science and technology, military, and society. Unfortunately, while the essays provide decent ...

Review:
Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and children's picture book author Berkeley Breathed crafts a remarkable, hilarious, and yes, even poignant celebration of "flawed dogs": "The bent and plain,/ The unbalanced bod,/ The imperfect people/ And differently pawed." At the core of this "2004 Catalogue of the Piddleton Dog Pound's Very Available Leftovers" is Heidy Strudelberg, "Garbo, Joan of Arc, and Mother Teresa of the nation's unwanted dogs: a reclusive warrior-saint of poundpups."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Robert Sabuda's most amazing creation ever, featuring stunning pop-ups illustrated in John Tenniel's classic style. The text is faithful to Lewis Carroll's original story, and special effects like a Victorian peep show, multifaceted foil, and tactile elements make this a pop-up to read and admire again and again.
