This book is terrific for Broward County (FL) gardeners and has lots of before and after photographs to help you envision your new garden. Crawford really cuts to the chase and only mentions plants that actually do well in our very hot, long, humid summers and occsional freezes of winter.

Not expertly written, but a great story about an amazing feat and an amazing man. A page-turner, for sure.

Relies heavily on built-ins, which isn't particularly economical if you don't plan on living in your house forever. Also, they frequently place young children's beds in lofts or other very high off the ground locations, which isn't safe. Some cute ideas for out-of-the-way storage, however.

An excellent overview of the creation and exploitation of derivatives that ultimately led to the meltdown of Wall Street in 2007. Amazing to see how twenty-somethings with advanced degrees in mathematics created algorithms to exploit market fluctuations. Unfortunately, these same algorithms were enabled with lots of leveraging which came tumbling down with the housing market in 2007. A little "technical" with the Wall Street stuff, but the glossary helped substantially. If you're an investment banker, fraud investigator, or anyone in between you'll really enjoy this book.

What fun and imagination. I still like Way Up High in the Tall Green Tree better, but my girls (4 yrs and 20 months respectively) like this one a lot, too.
