The Potted Herb
Since its publication in 1988, "The Potted Herb has become a classic gardening and gift book. Beloved for its delicate line drawings and accessible size, this beginner's guide to growing your own herbs has sold more than 65,000 hard-cover copies. Now, in an affordable paperback format with a fresh cover design, the popular title will reach a new readership. Zabar, who tends to her own patio garden in Manhattan, writes in an engagingly personal tone about twenty-two varieties of herbs suitable for cultivating in containers. Included are instructions for training the plants into topiaries, preparing simple yet delicious recipes flavored with fresh, aromatic herbs, and creating wreaths, sachets, lotions, and other handmade crafts from herbal ingredients. In addition to the practical information, Zabar also reflects on the poetics of gardening and how it can enhance our everyday lives, even when space demands that the greenery be confined to terra-cotta pots and kitchen window boxes.

Downloaded: The Third Collection of the 5th Wave by Rich Tennant, ISBN 0740706152
Rich Tennant is clearly the "father of the computer cartoon." (Forbes ASAP). When the creator introduced his technology-oriented cartoon panel in the early 80s, computers hadn't yet achieved the status they enjoy today. Now that nearly everyone's got them, The 5th Wave has become a mirror of our dubious attempts to live with, and control them.In Downloaded, Tennant is right on target, and even now more people will be able to relate to the way computers are changing the way we work, live, and play. He features a teacher who sends her students on-line to research Native American culture and discount fares to Hawaii; the optometrist whose Web site's intense graphics cause eye strain; and Santa downloading presents into a slow 14.4K chimney. His clever cartoons give everyone tethered to a computer a delightfully skewed way to view the world.
