Jim Elferdink&#8217;s iWork&#8217;05, a new entry in the Missing Manual series, is a gentle introduction to Apple&#8217;s productivity suite.  My faith in this series was shaken a bit by the AppleScript book, but this book renewed it.  The writing style is clear, and it steers away (mostly) from unnecessary humor.  [...]]]></description>

Larry Niven is my favorite author, so when I discovered that he had a new book coming out this year, I was delighted.  Like other Niven fans, I&#8217;ve learned to be disappointed by his recent works.  But lately I&#8217;ve discovered what I think is the key to his writing: Niven is [...]]]></description>

College towns everywhere are home to incredibly talented people.  Laramie is no exception.  This weekend we attended the Centennial Community Theater&#8217;s production of Agatha Christie&#8217;s The Mousetrap.  Having never attended one of CCT&#8217;s productions before, we were expecting country-bumkin theater.  What we got instead was a treat.

There is not [...]]]></description>

Overall rating: 5/5
Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology is a provocative, highly entertaining book.  As you may expect from Postman (or from the in-your-face subtitle), this is not a paean to technology.  Rather, it is a warning that technology comes at a high cost, a subtle, slow process in which humanity turns [...]]]></description>

Overall rating: 4/5
Infinity Beach is a classic Jack McDevitt story, with many elements his readers will recognize: mysterious events that happened years ago, false reputations, the search for truth, stark moral choices, general societal decay, and a personal struggle with mediocrity.  It is also full of McDevitt&#8217;s twists, unusual perspectives on the world, unexpected [...]]]></description>
