The unparalleled career of the Little Tramp Charles Chaplin’s Little Tramp is the supreme icon of motion pictures—still recognized and loved throughout the world, more than 90 years since he first burst on the screen. The shabby little figure—with derby hat, too-tight jacket, oversized boots and pants, dandified bow tie, and swagger cane—seemed to symbolize the hopes and fears, defeats and optimism of all humanity. Chaplin’s own biography was a rags-to-riches story that saw the product of a destitute childhood in Victorian London become one of Hollywood’s first millionaires and the owner of his own studio before he was 30. His supreme gift was to transform his experience and knowledge of the human lot into comedy, for which his invention and skill have never been surpassed.

In May 1787, in an atmosphere of crisis, delegates met inPhiladelphia to design a radically new form of government.Distinguished historian Richard Beeman captures as never before thedynamic of the debate and the characters of the men who laboredthat historic summer. Virtually all of the issues in dispute—theextent of presidential power, the nature of federalism, and, mostexplosive of all, the role of slavery—have continued to provokeconflict throughout our nation's history. This unprecedented booktakes readers behind the scenes to show how the world's mostenduring constitution was forged through conflict, compromise, andfragile consensus. As Gouverneur Morris, delegate of Pennsylvania,noted: "While some have boasted it as a work from Heaven, othershave given it a less righteous origin. I have many reasons tobelieve that it is the work of plain, honest men."

Wouldn’t you rather savor a buttery croissant instead ofinhaling an artificially flavored diet shake? Isn’t taking arelaxing stroll preferable to pounding out early morning miles onthe treadmill? The French live this way, yet stay thin and healthy.Now, with The French Don’t Diet Plan, you can, too! In his groundbreaking book, The Fat Fallacy, Dr. Will Clower wasthe first to present a theory of how the French maintain lowobesity and heart disease rates despite their seemingly “unhealthy”lifestyle. Dr. Clower learned that the French don’t worry aboutdieting but rather are more concerned with how they eat. That meanspaying attention to the taste, pacing, and enjoyment of meals,instead of counting calories, cutting fat and carbs, or takingguilt trips to the gym. With The PATH, his revolutionary weight-loss plan, Dr. Clower hashelped thousands of people lose weight, lower cholesterol, andincrease energy. Now, in The French Don’t Diet Plan, Dr. Clowershows how easy it is to incorpor

Based on his CAIM(Complementary-Alternative-Integrative-Medicine) approach, Dr. H.Robert Silverstein outlines a program that integrates modernmedical practices with alternative and ancient forms of healing.Recalling the work of Andrew Weil and Larry Dossey, the book arguesthat our self-healing mechanism—the immune system—is more powerfulthan we think. If we make wise diet and lifestyle changes, saysSilverstein, the immune system can function at an optimal level,restoring health and preventing future illnesses. Part I explores the five keys to health—five critical domains thataffect the immune system: the quality of our air, water, and food;the degree of physical activity we engage in; and the degree ofpositive feelings and stability in our psychological and emotionallives. Providing a clear de*ion of the immune system, the bookdetails the elements of good health, which include healing foods,minerals, antioxidants, herbs, physical activity, and the avoidanceof unrealistic thinking. Part II contains a t

The magnificent illustrations in this book are characteristic of the "Eyewitness Handbook" series: glossy color photographs, so finely reproduced that the subtlest shades of white, beige, gray, yellow and brown come alive. A complimentary foreword by the great chef Joel Robuchon concurs. Beyond the excellent visuals, however, is voluminous information on over 350 cheeses made in France. A concise introduction serves not only as a guide to interpreting each entry's economically arranged information but also to alert the reader that attention will be given to methods of production, aroma, taste, fat content, milk-type, and the ideal accompanying drinks. Included are a small glossary, a short bibliography, and even a directory of French cheese shops and markets at the end. Don't be put off by the somewhat narrow subject?here is a necessary selection for any collection with a sophisticated respect for food.?Wendy Miller, Lexington P.L., Ky.
