Here’s a real treat for those who spent their formative years reading about the Cat in the Hat and the Grinch. Marschall has compiled 60 cartoon essays, 20 articles, and 30 cartoon fantasies of early Seuss. Included are the solutions to such earthshaking problems as “How To Eject a Cow from Your Apartment,” and notes on how to “Punish Your Offspring Scientifically.” Then there’s the cartoon series of advertisements for Flit insecticide (”Quick Henry! The Flit!”). Here’s college humor at its bestsheer silliness, outrageous characters, and fine writing. Marschall’s introduction offers a background on Seuss’s development as a writer, as well as a glimpse at college humor of the 1920s and 30s. Recommended.

This is the second edition of Chevallier’s The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants (LJ 12/96). Although the title has changed, the format and contents are substantially the same. Careful comparison of the two editions, though, reveals that the text of the second edition has been revised to reflect the latest herbal research and includes some herbs not mentioned in the earlier book, such as cat’s claw. The new edition also addresses the issues of quality control and the safe use of herbal remedies. But as with the original, initial and final chapters address the development of herbal medicine, world herbal traditions, and home remedies. Sandwiched between this material is an alphabetical listing by Latin name of 550 of the most commonly used individual herbs. One hundred key plants are given a full-page spread outlining their habitat and cultivation, related species, key constituents and actions, research, traditional and current uses, parts used, key prep (more…)

Having a sick pet is a stressful situation. There is no way your furry friend can tell you exactly what is ailing him or her. Some problems are fairly easy to remedy and can be handled by an alert, knowledgeable owner at home. Others are indications of more serious conditions requiring the intervention of a veterinarian. Here a panel of respected vets provides hints for everyday pet healthcare. Each section includes descriptions and suggestions for coping with or curing ailments ranging from arthritis to shedding. Almost 100 different symptoms and problems are covered, and several of the chapters have a section entitled “When To See the Vet.” Though this book is not a medical reference or a substitute for veterinary care, it is full of useful tips for making your dog’s or cat’s life more comfortable. Recommended for libraries where interest in pets runs high.?Edell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., Wis.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
