&ldquo;The classic case study of schizophrenia that set the stage for reform. . . . Its insight, compassion, and humanity have much to teach us." &mdash;Andrew Solomon&#160;"Compelling, mordantly funny. . . .&#160;[A] beautifully written chronicle." &mdash;The New York Times&#160;"A brilliantly documented chronicle of a young woman's long struggle with schizophrenia." &mdash;The New Republic"Susan Sheehan has committed an extraordinary act of journalism. . . . She brings relentless intelligent attention to bear on a particular case, a journalistic practice that almost always results in new and disturbing insights into those mindless generalities and prejudice and certitudes we tend to carry around with us." &mdash;The Washington Post Book World"Sheehan is tenacious, observant and unsentimental. The history of a single patient leads us into a maze of understaffed institutions, bureaucratic fumbling, trial-and-error treatment and familial incomprehension. Though Sheehan keeps herself invisible, her sympathy is palpable." &mdash;Newsweek"[A] monumental piece of reportage. . . .&#160;A model of close-up journalism: totally convincing, unsentimental yet obviously compassionate, rigorously plain." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews

"This,  then, is narrative history&mdash;a kind of history that goes back to an older  literary tradition.... The writing is superb...one of the historical  and literary achievements of our time." &mdash;The Washington Post Book World " Mr. Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and  a novelist's skill in directing the reader's attention to the men and  the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war, without  omitting items which are of momentary interest. His organization of  facts could hardly be better." &mdash;Atlantic "Though the  events of this middle year of the Civil War have been recounted hundreds  of times, they have rarely been re-created with such vigor and such  picturesque detail." &mdash;The New York Times Book Review "The  lucidity of the battle narratives, the vigor of the prose, the strong  feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting, are  all controlled by constant sense of how it happened and what it was all  about. Foote has the novelist's feeling for character and situation,  without losing the historian's scrupulous regard for recorded fact. The Civil War is likely to stand unequaled." &mdash;Walter Mills

Fredericksburg to Meridian

"Singer-songwriter Chapin follows The Backwards Birthday Party, also illustrated by Groenink, with a second picture book adapted from his extensive catalog.... Even the serious librarian gets caught up in the increasingly rowdy fun, earning her a &ldquo;shhh!&rdquo; from the girl, who is ready to start reading. It&rsquo;s a book that could easily be used in elementary school classrooms before visits to the library, and readers will enjoy spotting recognizable characters in Groenink&rsquo;s cozy illustrations. This celebration of reading and libraries is sure to charm those who love both."

Praise for Bruce Catton and&#160;Gettysburg: The Final Fury:&ldquo;Military history . . . at its best.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune&#160;&ldquo;Nothing in our time makes the Civil War as alive as the writings of Bruce Catton.&rdquo; &mdash;The Baltimore Sun&#160;&ldquo;No one around can write of the &lsquo;terrible beauty of an army&rsquo; the way Bruce Catton can.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post Book World&#160;&ldquo;A rare combination of talent as a writer and historian.&rdquo; &mdash;The Kansas City Star&ldquo;No one ever wrote American history with more easy grace, beauty and emotional power, or greater understanding of its meaning, than Bruce Catton. There is a near-magic power of imagination in Catton&rsquo;s work that seemed to project him physically into the battlefields, along the dusty roads and to the campfires of another age.&rdquo; &mdash;Oliver Jensen, former editor of American Heritage&ldquo;[Catton combines] a scholar&rsquo;s appreciation of the Grand Design with a newsman&rsquo;s keenness for meaningful vignette. . . . Catton created an &lsquo;enlisted man&rsquo;s-eye view&rsquo; of the war that treated humanely the errors on both sides.&rdquo; &mdash;Newsweek&ldquo;All [of Catton&rsquo;s Civil War books] are remarkably good books, distinguised by a vivid, fast-moving style.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;One of the most skillful old pros that the craft [of historical narrative] has ever known.&rdquo; &mdash;Saturday Review of Books

Reading List

"Englander's voice is distinctly his own--daring, funny and exuberant."  --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times"Taut, edgy, sharply observed. . . . A revelation of the human condition."  --The New York Times Book Review"Remarkable art. . . .The author fills each of these pieces with vivid life, with characters that jump off the page."  --Newsday"Every so often there's a new voice that entirely revitalizes the story. . . . It's happening again with Nathan Englander, whose precise, funny, heartbreaking, well-controlled but never contrived stories open a window on a fascinating landscape we might never have known was there. It's the best story collection I've read in ages."  --Ann Beattie"His characters are marvelously sympathetic creations. . . . What is most striking about the collection is not the subject matter but Englander's genius for telling a tale. . . . Invite[s] comparison to some of the best storytellers--Gogol, Singer, Kafka and even John Cheever."  --Time Out New York

&ldquo;Profound, funny. . . . Movie makers, where are you? This narration is as wild and moving as Bonnie and Clyde. It&rsquo;s as adventurous as Lawrence of Arabia. It has more gore than 14 Terminators. And it also has beautiful, touching, heartbreaking accounts of a lonely black childhood. . . . Brown sees racial oppression in national and global context; every political word she writes pounds home a lesson about commerce, money, racism, communism, you name it. . . . A glowing achievement.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Times&ldquo;A Taste of Power&#160;is chilling, well-written, and profoundly entertaining.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Honest, funny, subjective, unsparing, and passionate. . .&#160;A Taste of Power&#160;weaves autobiography and political history into a story that fascinates and illuminates.&rdquo; &mdash;Washington Post&ldquo;A stunning picture of a black woman&rsquo;s coming of age in America. Put it on the shelf beside The Autobiography of Malcolm X.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;A superb achievement. Finally I understood what the Black Panthers were all about. They were bold, daring, and beautiful, and so is A Taste of Power.&rdquo; &mdash;Claude Brown, author of Manchild in the Promised Land&ldquo;What Elaine Brown writes is so astonishing, at times it is even difficult to believe she survived it. And yet she did, bringing us that amazing light of the black woman&rsquo;s magical resilience, in the gloominess of our bitter despair.&rdquo; &mdash;Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple &#160;&ldquo;This is the kind of book you develop a relationship with&mdash;one of those tumultuous, passionate relationships commonly reserved for lovers.
