The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health
Getting ready for a summer trip? Check in with Dr. Chris Sanford first to ensure you're properly prepared for a healthy trip. The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health is
just what every traveler needs: a straightforward look at what you can
do to stay healthy during your travels, from start to finish. Whether you're headed to the
urban centers of Africa or to the jungles of Southeast Asia, precautions need
to be taken even before setting foot on a plane, and important things need to
be remembered once you're home again.
All travelers, including students going abroad to study or backpack
through the developing world and travelers who want to get off the
beaten path as well as explore the cities of the world, will find this
book an invaluable resource.
Chris Sanford, MD, MPH, DTM&H,
is a writer and family practice physician who specializes in travel and
tropical medicine. He is the co-medical director of the Travel Clinic
at Hall Health Center, University of Washington.

The Informed Gardener
Linda Chalker-Scott has been called gardening's answer to television's
"MythBusters" -- using new scientific evidence, she proves which gardening practices are just myths. Linda is a
well-known horticulturist who is Washington State's editor of MasterGardener and associate professor at WSU's Master Gardener program. The Informed Gardener is her first book.
You'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up with Linda, but if you
missed her on KUOW's "Sound Focus," you can find the archived show here.

August will bring B Street, by Lawney Reyes.
This heartfelt memoir of life on the Coulee Dam, as it was being built,
follows Lawney and his siblings' youth in a wild and then-new part of
the West. If you're interested in hosting an event with Lawney, author
of White Grizzly Bear's Legacy: Learning to Be Indian, just let me know.
And don't forget to check out our Fall 2008 Catalog, with other wonderful regional and national titles that you'll certainly want to check out!
All the best,
