Description
wow. this is quite fascinating. aren't we all slightly intrigued by human abnormalities and medical oddities? this is something i will definitely be adding to my library:
"Product Description
Home to over 20,000 mind-boggling anatomic specimens, plaster casts, wax models, and paintings, the Mutter Museum, founded in 1858, is part of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. This book features over 100 photographs by a select group of renowned photographers whose work appears in the award-winning Mutter Museum calendars. Highlights include a bust of an early-19th-century Parisian widow with a six-inch horn protruding from the forehead; the connected livers of Chang and Eng, the world-famous Siamese twins; the skeleton of a 7’6” giant from Kentucky; and a collection of 139 skulls showing anatomic variation among ethnic groups in central and eastern Europe. Historical photographs from the museum’s archives, brief background texts about the collection, stunning photographs by acclaimed photographers including William Wegman and Joel-Peter Witkinand, and an introductory essay on the museum are also included."

Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food

Description
OH, HOW i adore this cookbook. it is beautifully done, organized, and features photos that make my mouth water while looking at them.
i am not too fond of the cover of this book, however, as it does no justice whatsoever to what you'll find inside - so if you see this on the shelves..OPEN it.. you will see its glory!
fabulous. a must-have for every mom. it offers well-conceived creative ways to incorporate healthy ingredients into recipes. they'll never know ;)
[i may add - while these recipes are geared towards being kid-friendly.. they are still sophisticated and lovely for any palate. i am giving a copy to a friend who cannot get her husband to eat vegetables.. ha!] (via deceptivelydelicious.com)
