(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...

At the Hearth of the Crossed Races: A French-Indian Community in Nineteenth-Century Oregon, 1812-1859
by
Melinda Marie Jett�
Gilion
, July 18, 2015
At the Hearth of the Crossed Races is a deeply researched and data-rich history of the Willamette Valley. Jette takes a new look at the role of French-Canadian fur trappers, the French-Indian families they created, and their indigenous kin in colonizing the Pacific Northwest. She re-examines the traditional history of the region that puts Anglo-American settlers at the center of the story, focusing on the 47 years from 1812, when the Kalapuyans first had direct contact with Euro-Americans, and 1859, when Oregon became a state.

Jam Today Too: The Revolution Will Not Be Catered
by
Davies, Tod
Gilion
, August 05, 2014
Jam Today Too is a collection of essays in the tradition of MFK Fisher, Elizabeth David, or Jim Harrison -- reflections on what to eat, why to eat it, and how to make it. Davies' chatty style offers recipes along with anecdotes about when she made the dishes, including cooking in an RV after their house flooded, cooking for grieving friends, recreating childhood favorites, and cooking for solo meals. Reading the pieces feels like sitting at the kitchen counter with a glass of wine, chatting with your friend while she cooks dinner.

Therefore, Choose Life...: An Autobiography
by
Moisey Wolf
Gilion
, June 21, 2014
Dr. Moisey Wolf spent his Jewish childhood in Poland, escaped the Holocaust, served in the Soviet Army during World War II, had a distinguished career as a psychiatrist in post-Stalinist Soviet Russia, came to America in 1992, and spent the last 15 years of his life in Portland, Oregon. His autobiography, still in manuscript form when he died in 2007, is the story of a remarkable life lived in extraordinary times. Expertly edited and translated by Judson Rosengrant and published by OSU Press with the support of the Oregon Jewish Museum, "Therefore, Choose Life . . ." is an important first-hand account of the Jewish experience in the 20th Century.
