“ While the fi rst chapter opens with a tongue-in-cheek warning, ‘Do not expect ever to see a phoenix. They are very rare,’ the volume goes on to recount the many ways that the mythical creature appears in ancient and contemporary culture. … The fi nal chapter explores the phoenix’s place in popular culture, from experimental cars to military missiles to the Phoenix Mars Lander, aptly named after the NASA

research mission ‘rose from the embers, or ashes, of previous missions to Mars.’ This entertaining volume will leave readers wondering where the phoenix might turn up next. Highly recommended for school and public libraries.” — Doug’s Student Reference

What Do IBelieve?

What make the Amish unique in today’s hec-tic world are not their religious beliefs. They

share core beliefs with Christians around the world,both Catholic and Protestant. What separates them ishow they incorporate those beliefs into everyday life.

Shared BeliefsLike other Christians, the Amish believe Jesus was theSon of God, and that he took human form to teachhumanity how to live. They also believe he died on thecross and was resurrected, returning to heaven to liveeternally as part of the Holy Trinity—God the Father,Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

The Amish consider the Holy Bible their most sacredtext, their source of religious principles. They believe itswriters were inspired by God, that the Bible is withouterror, and that its words should be interpreted literally.

In some areas of the world such as the Arctic,seals and other marine mammals are a major part ofpeople’s diet, along with fish. According to UNEP,the risks of mercury contamination are much higherin those areas than other countries. In Greenland, forinstance, mercury levels in fish and marine mam-mals are three times higher today than they weretwo centuries ago. As a result, more than 16 percentof the people living in northern Greenland haveabnormally high levels of mercury in their blood.

A 2001 report by theCalifornia Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG)states that this type of fertilizer is extremely harmfulbecause toxic substances contaminate the land.CALPIRG’s research involved testing 29 fertilizers from12 different states.

A big, ugly, poisonous lizard lives in parts of the Ameri-can Southwest. It is called the Gila monster. Gila mon-sters have the remarkable ability to eat huge meals andthen go for months before eating again. They can do thisbecause of an unusual substance in their saliva, or spit.

John Eng, a scientist and medical doctor, was fas-cinated by Gila monster saliva. He was trying to dis-cover hormones in animals that could be used in newmedicines for people. Hormones are special chemicalsthat keep certain body organs working properly in an-imals and people. Eng thought there must be a hor-mone in Gila monster saliva that let them eat sostrangely and still stay healthy. He believed such a hor-mone might be useful as a medicine for people.

“ These titles offer easy, delicious recipes (some with as few as two ingredients) and insights into the cultures that produced them. Each volume is well researched, and culture and food go hand-in-hand. Each title ends with a metric conversion chart and extensive chapter notes. Clear, large full-color photographs spice up the texts. The language is inviting and not overly challenging, and each book could be used for reports on culture as well for cooking. These tasty books, especially the more obscure Ethiopian title, will be appreciated in most libraries.” — School Library Journal, May 2008
