This little bit of bedtime foolery feels a little incomplete, but it should strike a chord—and it’s far wittier than the similarly themed Go the Fuck to Sleep.

This warm family story is a splendid showcase for the combined talents of Medina, a Pura Belpré award winner, and Dominguez, an honoree.

Some readers might be surprised to hear a neurologist echoing Keats’s criticism that Newton stripped nature of its poetry by reducing the rainbow to a prism. But if O’Sullivan was more clinical it’s doubtful she’d be such a fine writer.

By mixing panels with and without text, Porcellino creates a poetic alternation of words and silences that effectively draws the reader into Thoreau’s point of view.

It’s a charming but head-scratching piece poised elusively between the absurd and the profound – a description that applies to most, if not all, the entries.

The prose can become directionless, as if spun blindfold on a desert plain and then released, but is also very often gorgeous.

It’s hard to get noir when most of your cast is warm and furry. Simon’s latest is more likely to appeal to cozy fans than the hard-boiled crowd.

Kirkus

A sturdy but not entirely fresh study for readers interested in the fate of Western water and in the settlement of the West and a good place to start learning about a key figure.

Although this intercontinental race/chase relies far too much on its predecessor (The Lost Concerto, 2016), Mario hooks you with layers of mysteries almost completely enough to overcome the sentimentality seeping out between perils.

Peg thinks the petsitter’s disappearance must be connected to the pet painter’s death. But figuring out the connection takes a murder maven, and that means Melanie. For pet fans who thrive on dog-show lore, Berenson’s brand is always best in show.

Despite some pointed dialogue between right-minded people who happen to disagree about important matters, there’s very little here to disturb readers’ faith or their mental repose.

“Spying on Whales” is prime science writing, a distillation of a subject that is neither condescending nor exclusive. Lovers of science – especially biology – will adore it, but even absent those interests, a reader possessed of simple natural curiosity might well find themselves diving deep.

The Maine Edge

Pleasing and accessible and of broader application than the title suggests, inasmuch as “we all have an extraordinary brain.”

A tour of the history of endocrinology, highlighting progress but also the hype that has promoted the curative abilities of hormones...A fine, poignant survey of “what makes us human, from the inside out.”

In the end, writes Hanna-Attisha, this is “the story of a government poisoning its own citizens, and then lying about it”—and it demands greater justice than has been served. An important contribution to the literature of environmental activism—and environmental racism.

The unusual premise will hook you, but it’s Billingham’s patience and persuasiveness in unfolding its grim details that will keep you reading long past the hour when all cats are gray.

Many readers will find the equations incomprehensible, but they will relish a lucid, provocative argument that the dazzling variety of organisms produced by 4 billion years of evolution may seem unbounded, but all follow universal laws.

...she becomes a character with apparent sympathies for the individual plaintiffs and their hardworking lawyers, but her reporting is, for the most part, evenhanded. A solid addition to the burgeoning literature on the social and health-related effects of fracking.

The narrative occasionally drags, but this multidisciplinary master class in the history, science, religion, and literature of wines is as luscious as a full-bodied pinot noir.

Ironically, the author’s final chapter is an outstanding discussion of the literature, popular and scholarly, that covers essentially all of science. An overly quirky yet amusing and well-informed history of everything.
