 | Issac Asimov by Isaac Asimov
This is the memoir of science fiction grand-master Asimov, a paradoxical genius who wrote of travel to the stars yet refused to fly in airplanes, who imagined alien universes and vast galactic civilizations while staying home to write, and who compulsively authored more than 450 books yet still found time to share his ideas with some of the great minds of our century. Including many rare photographs, it was the 1995 Hugo Award winner for best work of nonfiction. AUTHOR: Isaac Asimov

 | The Collected Poems of Stanley Kunitz by Stanley Kunitz
Though this major collection of poems spans the length of 20th century, many of Kunitz's themes assert themselves consistently throughout his oeuvre. Compiled in the poet's 95th year, Kunitz's rarely available earliest verse sits beside his later contributions, including, in its entirety, his 1995 volume PASSING THROUGH: THE LATER POEMS, NEW AND SELECTED, which received the National Book Award in Poetry. This collection offers an opportunity to follow Kunitz's enduring themes of time, loss, and man's relationship to the natural world through all phases of his important career. A continuity is revealed as Kunitz addresses and re-addresses the larger meanings of man's struggle. Kunitz assumed the office of United States Poet Laureate in 2000. AUTHOR: Stanley Kunitz

 | Listen to the Desert - Oye al desierto by Francisco X. Mora, Pat Mora
?A bilingual account of some of the animals and sounds commonly found in the Southwestern desert. Each double-page spread depicts a vast expanse of light blue sky with four lines of text-two in English and two in Spanish-on the verso, and a different creature or scene on the recto. . . . The translations are appropriate and provide an excellent opportunity to compare the sounds in the two languages. . . . The illustrations evoke Native American art in shapes and colors, and the bottoms of the pages are adorned with geometric designs. This book is a good choice for reading aloud; young audiences will enjoy the predictable, repetitive text, and its bilingual format enhances its appeal in a variety of multicultural settings.?-School Library Journal ?A very simple text, with each line repeated twice in English plus twice in Spanish, becomes a rhythmic, lyrical bilingual chant suggesting the onomatopoeic powers of both tongues. . . . A brightly decorative geometric motif runs AUTHOR: Francisco X. Mora, Pat Mora
