Jack Barratt jackbarratt — This is a fantastic book. Wolfe approaches the topic with humor, tons of research, and even a hint of mockery. It's a funny combination, but also thoroughly fascinating. Throughout, he's always slyly asking 'What makes a hero'. From the beginning, it's fairly clear that Wolfe is more enthralled with the pilots than the astronauts. They're both risking death for country, but it's abundantly clear that the astronauts don't really DO anything. The pilots have the controls and survive by way of their own grit and metal. The astronauts of Mercury essentially sit inside a bullet and go for a ride. By the end of Mercury, they've proved that skill does, in fact, prove necessary for future space flights, but Wolfe remains wistful about the glory days of envelope pushing test pilots. He starts and ends his book on the legendary shoulders of Yeager, and seems to say that, though the world may have moved on, no amount of shifting perceptions can change the existence of true heroes. Also interesting is his point about singular combat. Since going to war with the ruskies was liable to spark off nuclear winter, both countries had to find ways to let off the steam in less explosive fashion. The space race was a competition and the astronauts were America's gladiators. It's an interesting premise that had never occurred to me. If you can't send the nukes, you have to find other ways to beat those damn reds, right? It makes me understand why things like the Miracle on Ice from the 80 Olympic games were such a big deal. It also explains why the Mercury seven were so canonized in the public eye. Kids across the country were being told by their parents that they could grow up to be astronauts...or president. These days, president is the more common idiom. Three decades of driving dilapidated shuttles has taken nearly all of the sheen off of astronauts, but Wolfe's portrayal of the glory days proves a powerful reminder of their place in history.

Mitocondria Design _itocondria — I waited a long time for this book from the library, and had read several good reviews of it, but it did not strike me as a great read. (It seemed to take FOREVER for those twins to be born!) The surgical descriptions and the hospital conditions in Ethiopia were enlightning, but I felt that it was an overdose of medical terms. It took me nearly halfway through the book to become attached to many of the characters. When the setting changed to America, it was alarming to compare the hospitals of Boston and New York; this part seemed sadly, too realistic. I wonder if the positive changes that came about in the novel can really happen. I liked the story in some ways, but I guess I had my expectations set higher. The ending seemed rushed and full of coincidences, which did not improve my rating. I struggled between a two and three on this one, but went with a two due to the "soap opera" feeling I got from it.

Bauer Robert _obiwankenobi — The Secret Keeper is a nice introductory piece for those wanting to explore the mysteries of the land that lies between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The form of the story is not foreign, but some of the conflicts that arise might not be so familiar to all readers. The idea of the next living male relative taking responsibility for the family is not totally unfamiliar. The basic story could be lifted out of this setting and put into another culture. The results could be the same, but the journey would take a few different turns. The ability for a story to be able to cross cultural boundaries says a lot about the basic ideas behind the writing. Mitali Perkins is able to make makes that happen. One element that always hangs in the balance with books set in another culture is the decision to include or omit various concepts, traditions, and vocabulary. Their use adds color and brings a sense of authenticity that is often unachievable by any other means. What does not work well is to depend solely on a glossary or appendix to provide such details. Perkins uses both, but only as an additional resource at the end of the text. Although preferences vary, finding a way to embed this extra information in the text would have been sufficient. A decent story with some cultural information is what one should expect from this book. Creative teachers might develop the family issues and even find a way to share the book with an entire class. Other possible uses include an investigation into gender roles in sports and education. Add this book with confidence, but be prepared to talk it up among students to get them started.
