I'm a visual anthropologist.  I didn't know it until I discovered Retronaut:The Photographic Time Machine book and website.  The subject heading for Retronaut is visual anthropology. I love it. A guilt-free way to spend more time finding funny cat photos!

True photographic time travelers shouldn't miss the UA Archives.

Adult Recommendations

Right Rose, Right Place by Peter Schneider

Anyone can grow a rose; success is dependent on the correct garden placement.  Lucky for us the author’s rose garden is in Ohio.  Peter Schneider grows over 1200 roses in his garden, all are recommended for northern and Midwestern gardens.  All levels of rose gardeners will enjoy this well written, detailed, and beautifully illustrated book.

Unsinkable: A Memoir by Debbie Reynolds

A youngster during movies ‘Golden Age’, Reynolds writes a wonderfully funny & heartfelt memoir of her trials, tribulations and friendships.  She shares her children, Carrie and Todd Fisher, personal problems, as they struggle with their own successes as well as their famous parents.    Her disastrous marriages brought her to bankruptcy, but she never despaired- and that’s the heart of this story, how her spirit, talent and personality kept her from sinking.

"My Mother was Nuts" by Penny Marshall

Comedian/director Marshall writes very openly on her life experiences growing up in the Bronx, getting pregnant and married young in New Mexico, her marriage to Rob Reiner, friendship with Carrie Fisher, and relationship with Art Garfunkel.   Marshall revisits tough subjects like abortion, drugs, lack of mothering skills, and her now fading health. Great stories abound of her time spent on TV shows, movies, and her career as a movie director.  Marshall's humor is how she gets through the difficult stuff and lives with a simple motto: “try hard, help your friends, don't get too crazy, and have fun.”
