 | The Gate of Angels by Martin Schram, Penelope Fitzgerald
A lighthearted love story set among English scientists at the turn of the century. Fred Fairly is a Fellow of St. Angelicus College in Cambridge in 1912, studying physics. In the midst of a religious crisis, he meets and falls in love with Daisy Saunders, a nursing student, but is discouraged from marrying her since only bachelors are permitted to reside at the College and teach. Daisy herself seems to have a rather more mysterious background than she had at first let on, and it soon becomes clear that Fred has gotten himself into a complicated situation that will take some effort to straighten out. Fitzgerald based many of the characters in this novel on her own family, specifically her father, Edmund Knox, and his three gifted brothers. AUTHOR: Martin Schram, Penelope Fitzgerald

 | Feed Your Kids Well by Fred Pescatore, Robert C. Atkins
Today, one-third of North American children and teenagers are overweight. And despite decades of medical and scientific breakthroughs, the percentage of children with health problems today is the highest in history. Feed Your Kids Well will be a revelation for millions of worried parents. Dr. Fred Pescatore, who was overweight and asthmatic as a child, brings an empathetic and hopeful tone to this groundbreaking guide to achieving optimum nutrition, ideal health, and self-confidence. Building on the low-carbohydrate principles of the hugely popular Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution-which has helped millions of adults lose weight permanently-Dr. Pescatore applies the Atkins Center's proven nutritional program to children and teenagers. Thoroughly tested over years of exhaustive research, his Next Generation Diet is the first health program to recognize that simply applying adult diet plans to children is ineffective -and often dangerous. The author argues that the real culprit behind dietary problems is not fat, but sugars and starches. Feed Your Kids Well brings something new to the table: sane and practical guidance for parents concerned not only about weight loss, but also about general wellness and the prevention of disease-from asthma to ADD, from earaches to allergies. After explaining how your child's body and metabolism work, Dr. Pescatore clearly outlines a straightforward nutritional lifestyle program that helps parents shape the important building blocks-proteins, fats, and carbohydrates-into complete, well-balanced meals. Packed with easy-to-follow sample menus for every day of the week, this book provides delicious, healthy alternatives. Kids will love the dozens of simple, step-by-step recipes for a variety of dishes, including pancakes with strawberry topping, chicken fingers, beef tacos, fudgy brownie squares, and peanut butter cookies. Some recipes are easy enough for kids to make themselves! Parents will also learn how to integ AUTHOR: Fred Pescatore, Robert C. Atkins
