BOOK REVIEW

THE GHOST IN THE CLASSROOM by Gerda Wagener

BOOK REVIEW

WHY HISTORY MATTERS by Gerda Lerner
NON-FICTION
Released: April 1, 1997

"Even here Lerner has much to offer students of history, but from a scholar of her stature, this jumble of essays is a disappointment."
Despite its somewhat grandiose title, this isn't in any way a comprehensive approach to the vital question posed, but a collection of speeches and articles that offer only a glimpse of the author's important contributions to historical inquiry. Read full book review >

BOOK REVIEW

NON-FICTION
Released: April 1, 1993

"Moreover, Lerner doesn't simply lament the silence endured by women—from the obscure wives of medieval French troubadours to Mexican peasants, German nuns, and English mystics- -but gives these nearly forgotten souls a voice."
In an excellent follow-up to The Creation of Patriarchy (1986)—a study of how men institutionalized their domination of women—NOW cofounder Lerner (History/Univ. of Wisconsin at Madison) follows women's struggle to create a history of their own—from the first written record in the seventh century to the start of the feminist movement.

BOOK REVIEW

CIRCLE OF SEASONS by Lucia Monfried
CHILDREN'S
Released: Oct. 1, 1995

"An alternative to Anne Rockwell's First Comes Spring (1985) and other books of that ilk. (Picture book. 3-6)"
``In spring, the first warm days bring everything bursting forth—green shoots from the ground and frisky baby animals to chase in the sunshine.'' In this sweet turn through the seasons, children romp gaily through parks and fields, splash about on a beach, and at year's end gather around a tree, a menorah, and ``Grandfather for a story by the fire.'' Muller alternates wordless spreads with uncrowded pages of smaller vignettes, all painted in softened colors and decorated with simplified natural details. Read full book review >

BOOK REVIEW

CHILDREN'S
Released: Dec. 1, 2011

Another "Goldilocks"? Yes, with a fresh take, unusual setting and appealing illustrations. Read full book review >
