| On the Trail of Flicka's Friend The Biography of a Biography Sharon Whitehill 160 pages, paperback, photos, $11.95 ISBN 1-56474-144-3 A biographer's portrait of the creative process, telling of the six years she spent researching and writing the life of author Mary O'Hara (My Friend Flicka), including research methods, writing techniques, and how being a biographer can change your own life. Sold out/out of print Oozing the Moon A Sky and Night Woods Guide to the Galaxy Dennis Roth ISBN 1-56474-460-4 176 pages, paperback, $12.95 This remarkable journal chronicles one man’s gazing at the sky, mostly at night, and largely upside down. The author has spent a great deal of time outdoors, appreciating the night sky (and the daytime sky too, but mostly the night sky). A lot of his observations have been from an unusual perspective: hanging upside down from a park picnic table, for example, for a new view of trees, of sky, of the stars and planets, and especially of the wonderous, many-faceted moon. The unconventional perspective is also tied to a great sense of fun with language. The wisdom gained from his nocturnal observations coalescs disciplines, philosophies and mythologies from throughout the world, from antiquity to modern times. The book is, in addition to being inspiration, scientifically hip. It’s greatest value, though is its enthusiasm and its appreciation of the galaxy we all call home.
