New American Roget's College Thesaurus in Dictionary Form

The New American Webster Handy College Dictionary: New Third Edition
Philip D. Morehead Reference Signet
Among paperback dictionaries, the NAWHCD excels in its completeness and its usage guidance. I appreciate those features in my big American Heritage Dictionary, too, but the NAWHCD is more convenient to keep on my desk, and I like having two different dictionaries so I can get a second opinion.
Virtually every page in the NAWHCD has helpful notes on usage or word origin. Correct usage is generally favored over popular usage, e.g., "imply" and "infer" are distinguished without waffling. "Lay" and "lie" and their often-confused past tenses and participles are sorted out in a note, and now that I know the differences I'm annoyed by how many people don't.
I examined several paperback dictionaries before selecting this one even though it didn't have a top brand name. The more I use it, the more I like it.

The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health
Karen J. Carlson, Stephanie A. Eisenstat, Terra Ziporyn Health, Mind & Body Belknap Press
A well-researched update to the 1996 edition, "The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health" is an essential reference guide for women of every age. Combining simple alphabetical listings with complete cross-referencing throughout the 300 topics, it's easy to find what you're looking for--anything from airbags to wrinkles, asthma or vulvar cancer. Many of the entries include illustrations, and a number of anatomical charts give welcome assistance if you can't quite remember where your inguinal nodes or tibial nerves are hiding. Making use of the most current research, much of it from the Women's Health Initiative, the advice combines alternative therapies with advanced diagnostic suggestions and the latest recommendations for physical exams. Unlike some medical reference books, the tone here is reassuring--not scary. The authors (also responsible for the first edition) do a fine job of balancing potential serious diseases with the general likelihood that the majority of us are fairly healthy--and just as concerned about hair dye as we are our blood pressure. Best of all, the wide range of topics covered make it equally appropriate as a gift for a girl going off to college (or even just entering puberty), and for a mother concerned about dealing with menopause.

Night Of The Bilingual Telemarketers: A Baldo Collection
Hector Cantu, Carlos Castellanos Comics & Graphic Novels Andrews McMeel Publishing
The lead character of Baldo, Baldo Bermudez, is a 15-year-old Latino teen with visions of creating the perfect low rider and being popular with the girls. Meanwhile, the strip's creators, Hector Cantu and Carlos Castellanos, began the strip in 2000 with dreams of creating a comic rooted in Latin American heritage that would have wide appeal and soar in popularity. Judging by the pieces of car in the driveway and yet another dateless weekend for Baldo, it's fair to say Cantu and Castellanos are having all the luck, and Baldo's readers are having all the laughs. Night of the Bilingual Telemarketers is a compilation of strips from the increasingly popular comic's second year. When it launched in April 2000, the strip appeared in nearly 100 papers. Only three other strips in Universal Press Syndicate history had a larger circulation when they began, and all went on to have stellar careers: For Better or For Worse, Calvin & Hobbes, and The Boondocks. Baldo is primed to follow in those successful footsteps. The strip centers around Baldo and his humorous observations on teenage life in school and with family. On the home front is Baldo's relationship with his single-parent dad, his younger sister and budding political activist Gracie, and his live-in Old World aunt Carmen. Cantu and Castellanos know firsthand the experience of growing up within two cultures. Consequently, Baldo's daily adventures challenge him to balance his mainstream sensibilities with his Latino heritage. The result is the humorous mix of teenage silliness rooted in reality found in Night of the Bilingual Telemarketers, a book that will delight readers of ages and cultures.

It examines the debt trap, the acceleration of neo-liberalism and the "free trade" model, competition for energy resources, and the links between the war on terror, the arms trade, and privatization.
