...wrote. Pomona Britannica, published in 1812 and reprinted for the first time this season (Taschen; 200 pages), was his effort to right that wrong. An extravagant p.r. brochure for fruit, Brookshaw's best-of list featured 90 plates showing 256 varieties of 15 different species of fruit and nut. The plates of fruits in the new edition of Pomona Britannica are arranged as they were in Brookshaw's book, as well as in roughly the order they would appear on one's table: seasonally.

Horemheb was a harder nut to crack. Cooper and King speculate that the military commander spent much time with Tut, teaching him hunting and chariot driving--activities that offered plenty of opportunity for a contrived accident.

But it's almost impossible to imagine that when she was born inside these whitewashed walls, McCluskieganj was a paradise for mixed-race children of the British empire. What Kitty remembers most about the early days is the hope. The settlers' idea...
Another writer might be overwhelmed by the grand scale of things, but Jenkins, an easygoing golf nut who lives in Colorado Springs, Colo., doesn't let it bother him. He doesn't slow the liquid-like pace of the novels even when his characters utter sentences such as "[H]e cannot be expected to handle the duties of both the U.N. and Botswana during this strategic moment in Botswana history, right, Steve?" Huh? No matter. Soon enough, the story returns to the explosions and earthquakes preceding Armageddon...
