Biology: A Textbook
I wouldn't normally recommend an academic textbook. But when a book is this well presented, I can't pass it up. Biology is the study of life, and how we (and our animal friends) work is simply fascinating. This book gets an A+ from me for its easy, non-technical language and wonderfully informative illustrations. The included CD and website provide incredible animations that really let you see how things work. This is one textbook I'm going to keep. Mad Biologist use: Before you can create life (freakish though it may be), you must understand it. Also, what the heck? Flora or Fauna? Sadly one must know these terms before becoming a true Mad Biologist. It's kinda like 'Wax on, Wax off' for the mad scientist.

The key word in this title is "work," as that is really what is behind each and everyone of Liebovitz' photographs. Painstaking efforts to make moments memorable, unique ideas about what is worthy of being captured on film and a thorough understanding of light, the camera and how they interact. Liberally sprinkled with her photographs of Richard Nixon, Barack Obama, Patti Smith and Kate Moss, this book captures a generous glimpse of her genius.

There's a lot of excited handwaving that happens about food - should you eat local, vegan, organic, macrobiotic - and this book actually takes a measured look at the politics and reality of food. Pollan is quite good and this is perhaps his best book. Entertaining and informative.
