Outliers: The Story of Success

outliers.gifBy Malcolm Gladwell

In this landmark work, the author of "Blink" and "The Tipping Point" asks what makes high-achievers different? Brilliant and entertaining, "Outliers" is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight, illuminate, and provoke thought.

"I highly recommend this book to all people with children, grandchildren, those who work with children, and those who just think about why some people are more successful than others!  Why was Whitney Houston successful? Diana Ross?  Bill Gates....?"

~ Janice Johnson, Yakima Librarian and Educator


 
A Reliable Wife

By Robert Goolrick
Now in Paperback!

This book set in rural Wisconsin has generated lots of national interest, and is now available in paperback. Inthe bitter cold, Ralph Truitt, a successful businessman, stands alone on a train platform reliable_wife.gifwaiting for the woman who answered his newspaper ad for "a reliable wife." But when Catherine Land steps off the train from Chicago, she's not the "simple, honest woman" that Ralph is expecting. She is both complex and devious, haunted by a terrible past and motivated by greed. Her plan is simple: she will win this man's devotion, and then, ever so slowly, she will poison him and leave Wisconsin a wealthy widow. What she has not counted on, though, is that Truitt--a passionate man with his own dark secrets--has plans of his own for his new wife.  Isolated on a remote estate and imprisoned by relentless snow, the story of Ralph and Catherine unfolds in unimaginable ways.  $14.95

 

 
Remarkable Creatures

By Tracy Chevalier

 
Cremarkable_creatures.gifhevalier, author of Girl With A Pearl Earring, again brings history to life with this lovely novel about two very different women as they work together hunting fossils on the beaches of Lyme Regis, England, in the 1800's.  Mary Anning, a working-class villager, and Elizabeth Philpot, an eccentric spinster of the middle class, find themselves at the center of scandals and history as they challenge the male-dominated world of archaeology. Their discoveries also put them at odds with the rigid religious teachings of their times.
