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...

Elegant Arches Soaring Spans C B McCullough Oregons Master Bridge Builder
by
Robert W Hadlow
Monika
, September 03, 2008
Who'd have thought that some of the best works of art along Oregon's highways are the work of an engineer? Oregon was incredibly lucky to have Conde McCullough design bridges that were beautiful, functional, and state-of-the-art--and most of them are still with us. This book will enhance your appreciation of the man and his bridges.

How to Write for a General Audience A Guide for Academics Who Want to Share Their Knowledge with the World & Have Fun Doing It
by
Kathleen A Kendall Tackett
Monika
, June 19, 2008
Don't let the subtitle put you off--this conversational, enthusiastic book is a great one-volume introduction for anyone who wants to get their ideas out there in words. It covers the whole process: choosing a subject; writing so people will want to read; finding and dealing with editors and publishers (whether newsletter, magazine, book, or the web); and marketing.

When my daughters were teenagers, I read some chapters once a week to keep some kind of perspective through all the rebellion and disdain. I recommend it to all my friends with daughters.

Flip Dictionary For When You Know What You Want to Say but Cant Think of the Word
by
Barbara Kipfer
Monika
, February 05, 2008
This book is terrific for writers, readers, and all others who love words. However, unless you use it frequently, you'll forget how much information it has and won't use it when it could help you; and something else on the page you're consulting is bound to catch your eye and lead you astray. Other reference books should have those problems.

Jesus & Yahweh
by
Harold Bloom
Monika
, August 07, 2007
The title promises so much, the book delivers so little. Bloom is apparently beyond editing; many of his comments get repeated about five times. While there were a couple of nuggets, this Christian wished he'd give more background on why he pictures Yahweh as he does, and that he'd learned a basic fact about about Christianity: there are millions of us who are not Mariolotrists.
