Author: David Shenk
ISBN:9780385523653

Reveiwed by Karen Frank, Northshire Bookstore Bookseller

"David Shenk's book contains anecdotal evidence which will rock your world. Ted William's was NOT naturally gifted, nor was Mozart or Beethoven. The reason the Suzuki method produces such amazing results in young children is carefully explained. The book is written in a friendly style for the non-scientist but the second half consists of copious footnotes further explanations, bibliographies and other source materials if the reader wants more in-depth information and examples. Truly fascinating news for those of us who struggle to be creative."

Eaarth: Making Life on a Tough New Planet (comes out April 13)

Author: Bill McKibben 
ISBN: 9780805090567

Reviewed by Krysta Piccoli, Northshire Bookstore Bookseller

"This book should be required reading for everyone on the planet. Eaarth makes it clear that we're not saving our children anymore, we're saving ourselves. McKibben uses Vermont as a model for sustainability, but talks about large-scale projects also. No book makes it more clear that it's time to adapt to the world we've created."

Museum of Innocence

Author: Orhan Pamuk
ISBN: 9780307266767

Reviewed by Cheryl Cornwell, Northshire Bookstore Bookseller

"Museum of Innocence is Orhan Pamuk's most passionate and compulsively readable novel to date. Kemal and Fusun's story takes place at the intersection of East and West, wealth and poverty. As Kemal recounts the loss of Fusun and his struggle to transcend Turkish social constraints in hopes of reclaiming his love, his undying obsession is made manifest in the museum that he erects to the memory of their impulsive and ultimately destructive desire."
