There is some cause for alarm at the rate at which bees are disappearing around the world. Brackney, a beekeeper, illuminates the nature of this hero of the food chain.
Farm City by Novella Carpenter
A food writer's memoir of her squatter's garden in an Oakland, California ghetto is an inspiration to anyone who wishes to pursue the agricultural dream while remaining in the city limits.

Customer Review: A Fine Little Dictionary
The dictionary is very compact, yet has many entries and is a good value. The only way to improve it would be to add a visual alphabetical index.
Customer Review: Frustrating and disappointing
The fourth edition hardcover version of The American Heritage Dictionary is my favorite desk dictionary by far. But the paperback -- which I bought for reading in bed -- does not measure up. At least three quarters of the words I look up are not in the paperback. I've almost given up trying. Too bad the hardcover is so heavy and my bedside table is so small. Otherwise, I would have two hardcovers and happily dump the paperback.

Customer Review: Very nice
I was torn between the new AH and MW's, and went with the AH, although I don't think I could have gone wrong with either. The illustrations are very well done, add a lot of interest and the kids are much more likely to browse. I also like that the geographic and biographic entries are in with everything else. The pages are a bit thin, but any more paper would require a lift! Excellent quality and a very nice book.
Customer Review: An Excellent Buy
This dictionary is very detailed and in most instances provides pictures along with definitions. A good investment.
