Question: Plate Tectonics as told by those that assembled the theory . This is a highly informative account of both the ideas that led to the development of Plate Tectonic theory and the concepts of how the earth works. The book is engaging to read and is understandable to an audience at the level of Scientific American. I am using it as a required text in my course at Columbia University titled "Plate-tectonic theory and its geological corollaries". For those fascinated in how the human mind puts observations together to build ideas and then test them, this book is first rate. Each chapter is crafted by a different researcher describing his or her contribution to the over all theory. The reader encounters brilliant and original ideas discarded by peer review, scientists peeping over each other's shoulder, the rush to the goal line to publish first, competition for access to key data sets, a last minute conversion from the static earth perspective, and the thrill of exploration at sea. The authors presents a wonderful history in Chapter 1 of the intellectual passage from the first inkling of continental drift in the 16th century to the breakthrough in 1966-1968 of the full-blown theory of rigid lithosphere paving stones and narrow plate boundaries

Question: Laurie Colwin's best ... I've read it half a dozen times . I am a huge fan of Laurie Colwin's writing, so I am baffled by the reviewers who didn't enjoy this book as much as I did. To me, her writing is sophisticated yet very comfortable. I can identify most with the main character in this particular book of hers as I also married a bit later in life and am trying to have a child despite being a little long in the tooth. The longings Jane Louise has for the domestic bliss that other people in her life seem to have so easily are all too familiar. This book will not hit you over the head with a message, and it does meander ... which is just like life for most of us. And I for one sometimes enjoy a book that doesn't leave me with a headache. Reading is so much like eating - balancing what's good for you with satisfying cravings for those things that aren't - and for me, Laurie Colwin's books are like hot tea with milk and sugar on a cold afternoon. Grown up, but sweet and comforting - they always hit the spot. And I still find myself in disbelief that there will be no more books by this great writer

Question: Highly Recommended! . This is by far the best book on international adoption out there and I've looked at plenty. Actually, this book is for anyone thinking about any form of adoption because it has a great and succinct discussion and comparison of all forms of adoption. Although the book goes on to a thorough coverage of international adoption, Davenport is clear that all forms of adoption should be considered and there is no one type of adoption that is best for everyone. I love Davenport's thoroughness and her compassion for parents and kids. The book covers everything a prospective parent needs to think about, but Davenport is nonjudgmental about many of the choices parent will have to make. With each choice she urges parents to be honest with themselves and to put the interest of the child first. Because we are at the beginning stages of considering adoption, I found the first couple of chapters most helpful: are we ready to move on to adoption, what type of adoption is best for us, how to choose a country, and how to choose an agency. I especially loved the chapter on choosing a country and the charts at the back of the book on each of the top 17 (?) placing countries. Davenport has a website [...] that keeps these charts up to date. Regardless of which type of adoption we choose, I know that I will use the rest of the book as a reference, especially if we decide on international adoption. Davenport takes your hand and walks you through absolutely every experience you may have from finding the money, to surviving the homestudy, to preparing the paperwork, to waiting for your child, to traveling to meet your child, to the first days together, to the first year home. I liked her lists of questions to ask agencies, references, your child's caregiver, etc. I also loved her section on attachment and how to help foster it. She explained it in a way that I understood and left me feeling hopeful, not scared. The Complete Book of International Adoption is a gem and a must for any parent thinking about adoption
