The National Parks of the United
States: A Photographic Journey
by Andrew Thomas
#UM2822 Hardcover, 168 pages; 2016
$39.95
If you’ve dreamed of touring all of the
U. S. national parks but find yourself
pressed for time and travel funds, allow
photographer Andrew Thomas to guide
you on a breathtaking “armchair tour” of our nation’s most
spectacular natural wonders. From the tree-lined shores of
Acadia National Park in Maine to the ruggedly defiant beauty
of Badlands National Park in North Dakota to the pristine
waters of California’s Yosemite (just one of nine national parks
in the Golden State), all fifty-nine parks—plus three “delisted” ones—are displayed to stunning
effect in this oversized volume. It’s a gorgeous tribute to “America’s best idea,” established to help
to preserve our nation’s wildlife and protect our natural resources. (KG)

work (those sunspots aren’t

wine bottles (with punny names like “Cat-bernet Sauvignon”),
these clever toys are filled with catnip grown without the use of
pesticides or chemicals, so it’s safe for your favorite feline. The
next time you pour yourself a glass of your favorite vintage, share
the moment with your fuzzy friend. (Made in the U.S.A.)
Recipes for Love and Murder by Sally Andrew
#UL9252 Paperback, 419 pages; 2016 (2015) $15.99
When Tannie Maria, a charismatic widow in rural South Africa, is
compelled by her employer (the local Gazette) to write an advice
column rather than her beloved food column, she soon finds that
she both enjoys and excels at helping people. Her thoughtful and
specialized advice includes recipes that promise to ameliorate any given
problem. But when one of the women she advised is found murdered, a
horrified Tannie Maria turns sleuth. By turns serious and humorous in
tone—and with a well-developed romance to boot—this unique, exotic,
and warmly descriptive mystery is a deliciously charming read (with
equally delicious recipes!). (CH)
