A Photobiography of a President

Using a photobiography format, Martin Sandler presents the life of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. Sandler pairs black and white and color photographs with his own commentary and quotes from President Kennedy. From images of Kennedy’s formative years through the poignant and horrific pictures surrounding his assassination, Sandler documents the president’s life in an engaging way. He deftly navigates the touchy subjects of the President’s physical ailments and his personal indiscretions without glamorizing them. While substantial enough to use for a research paper, the general reader may simply enjoy browsing through it. Those who are interested in learning more about President Kennedy, can refer to the list of recommended books and websites that the author provides.

Tiny Kitchen? No Excuses.

Gourmet Meals in Crappy Little Kitchens by Jennifer Schaertl


In her debut cookbook, Schaertl tackles 2 myths of gourmet cooking—one doesn’t need lots of space or a host of appliances. For example, she points out that Chantilly Cream was invented without an electric mixer. She writes from experience too. Her first job, as a dishwasher & working her way up to sous chef, was in a professional crappy little kitchen (CLK). Not only does she include useful advice on tools, techniques, layouts and pantries for CLKs, she also presents 130 recipes geared to preparation in CLKs. This book is recommended to anyone who has or may be working in a crappy little kitchen in the future. Reviewed by Wendell Barnett, Collection Management Librarian
