Don Gayton

Nationally known field ecologist Don Gayton brings his wealth of experience to show us how nature and ecology perform their magic right in our gardens and home landscapes. Engaging the reader with real A— and occasionally hilarious A— gardening experiences, Gayton marries the joys of a gardening season to the fascinations of ecology. In charming and lyrical prose, he explores the inter A–reliance of species, soil fertility, weed invasions, and how the rampion got its name. He also speculates on gardeners themselves A— their motivations, their tools, their artistic sensibilities. By skilfully interweaving the work of painters, writers, and landscape architects, Gayton marks gardening and landscaping as primordial human urges, and the garden as a gift, a celebration, a revelation buried in our collective mythologies. This is a book for everyone who sees deeper meanings in their gardens and landscapes.

The forthcoming Pediatric Primary Care: Tools for Practice is a companion manual to AAP Textbook of Pediatric Care. Pediatric Primary Care: Tools for Practice will provide the most frequently used forms, calculators, patient education materials, and questionnaires cited in the textbook.

Rosemary Wells

The Gulp family's Dizzyworld vacation takes a detour when their overburdened RV stops and won't budge. The supersized junk-food junkies - Papa, Mama, Brother, and Sister - are baffled, though slim little sister Dawn, who prefers salads to shakes, declares, "This family's too fat to roll!" Only Dawn appreciates the salad supper offered by kindly Farmer Spratt, but after getting stuck on the county-fair waterslide and experiencing a few similar difficulties, the Gulps realize that they have to get fit to get rolling again. The characters are rabbits humorously outfitted like humans, and the scenes are stuffed with playful details to catch the eye. Wells' message, though couched in silliness and humor, is still obvious; the story may even make some kids feel self-conscious. But in the end, there's no teasing going on; the focus is squarely on the limitations overweight people may experience and the benefits of nutritional eating and activity. A cautionary yet supportive book that...
