Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Last Child In The Woods old edition
by

, March 18, 2007
This is a must-read for every parent, grandparent and best buddy. As a volunteer for programs held in natural settings around the Vancouver BC area and farther afield, I know that, not only are many children kept separated from nature as if with an invisible screen of fear or, worse, disinterest, but the adults in their lives are foreigners in their own environment. I thank you, RIchard Louv, for your passionate understanding of the web of life and for bringing forward ways to kindle and rekindle an understanding that we must remain aware of and in partnership with nature. We will not destroy the natural pattern of life if we walk on the sand or the grass. We belong here.

Hershel & The Hanukkah Goblins
by

, December 29, 2006
Herschel is an engaging character. He's smart! He's learned! He is a student of the human, or in this case, the goblin psyche. How else could he fool each of the goblins in their many personifications? How else do you explain that he reaches his goal in such a satisfying manner? We are cheering for Herschel from the moment the story begins until the last engrossing trick. Ah, Herschel of Ostropol is indeed the hero of the day and my pick for a great Chanukah (Hannukah?) mensch!
