Kathlyn had several careers but her one true constant was writing. She began professionally writing in 1957 and went on to have 120 published books. Her writing covered controversial and poignant subjects from politics, race, religion, equality, justice, human behavior, and global-environmental topics. She enjoyed traveling nationally and internationally by cars, trains, planes, and ships. She wrote extensively about the excursions she took with her husband, while her photo collections of each trip were organized perfectly.

Very good coverage of the causes of the war and the people that took part. There are a number of primary sources that provide personal accounts of Union and Confederate troops and citizens, as well as free African-Americans. There is also mention of Confederate recruitment of Southern Native Americans and the regiments of free blacks that fought for the Union. The book covers the difficulties Americans faced in the war and how they had to grapple with the reality of those situations. I would recommend that it cover the effects of the war in the century and a half since and it be updated to allow for another twenty years of fresh perspectives.… (mehr)
I loved this book and found it easy to read and understand. The enlightenment would inspire students (and adult readers) to engage in projects to help reduce atmospheric polllution. With global warming in the spotlight, readers would find this non-fiction book interesting. The author provides a list of agencies to contact for additional information. This could be an excellent companion to a science and/or social studies lesson.

Food has an engaging layout with numerous full-color photos, quotes and diagrams. Smaller, related topics are visually highlighted throughout the book, such as recycling, biofuels, and future food sources. A glossary, source notes, bibliography and additional resources are provided at the book’s end. Older students requiring more comprehensive citations may find the source notes lacking, particularly for the diagram statistics. Overall, though, this is an excellent introduction to the social, political, and economic impact of what we put on our plate. A well-balanced and broad account, Food: the New Gold gives student researchers (forgive the pun) a lot to chew on.
