14 NORTH LEEDS LANTERN Rideau Lakes Union 1-] BRARY BOOK REVIEW All right, I admit it. Last year's garden was not a great success. But I've done my homework. The National Arboretum Book of Outstanding Garden Plants (Whew! What a title!) by Jacqueline Heriteau is a massive (some 1700) collection of which plants can be planted where for what effect. For areas with a water problem there is Taylor's Guide to Water- Saving Gardening. This book resembles the Audubon bird books in its setâ€" up; glossy, coloured photos grouped together with writeâ€"ups in the second half. (For those of us who need even more help, there will be a talk on gardening with walls and fences, in small back yards at the Portland Anglican Church, April 10 at 2 p.m. See you there!). Another great book, for those who prefer inside greenery, is Keep Your Gift Plants Thriving by Karen Solit. It contains great advice on keeping plants alive, well, thriving and even has a "reproductive" segment. When the Gulf War began, the movie "Not Without My Daughter" was playing at the cinemas. In the book of the same name by Betty Mamoody, she refers to the Quran (the new spelling "Koran") and to Rashad Khalifa. Our Library has Khalifa's translation of the Quran as well as Mamoody's book. Now that Bush's New World Order is going to "handle" the Middle East Problem, it wouldn't hurt to read up on this religion in which Church and State are NOT separate. At one time or another we all have to deal with ageing parents. Caregiving: How to Care for Your Elderly Mother and Stay Sane by E. Jane Mall does NOT lay a guilt trip on anyone. Ms. Mall lists associations and booklets which could be of help. She even includes 10 commandments for the caregivers: 1 short page of excellent, commonâ€"sense advice. Though Choosing a Nursing Home by Seth B. Goldsmith is an American publication (with information on Medicare etc. â€" good if you're placing someone in the States), it still has lots of sound advice that can help with this difficult decision. Did you catch PBS's review of the American “Civil War"? Great television. For contrast try Egg Victory: History of the Russian Civil War by W. Bruce Lincoln. I found APRfl 1991 is available in regular there weren't enough photos format and in large print.
