Confident Woman: Start Today Living
Boldly and Without Fear, by Joyce
Meyer. For years, Meyer has been helping
women to better themselves by identifying
emotional barriers and physical, mental and
spiritual obstacles in their lives. Now she provides another answer: confidence. Our society
has an insecurity epidemic. Lack of self-confi-
dence causes great difficulty in relationships of
all kinds. Meyer explains that confidence stems
from being positive in one’s actions and living
honestly, and, most important, from having
faith, in God and in oneself.
The All-New Ultimate Southern Living
Cookbook, from Southern Living. This
cookbook is bigger, better and expanded with
more recipes, pictures and dictionaries. Within
its 512 pages, readers will find more than 1,250
recipes, all of them tested for looks, flavor, convenience, health consciousness and, of course,
sheer deliciousness. This is authentic Southern
cuisine for home cooks at all levels of expertise,
from beginner to well seasoned.
Aftermath: The World Trade Center
Archive, by Joel Meyerowitz. After
September 11, 2001, the Ground Zero site in
New York City was classified as a crime scene
and only those directly involved were allowed
inside—even the media were prohibited from
the site. By sheer determination, award-win-
Karen MacNeil
ning photographer Meyerowitz was the only
photographer granted unimpeded right of
entry into Ground Zero. Aftermath brings to
life the tireless determination of the many individuals who assisted in the cleanup process and
documents the transformation of the site
chronologically from piles of devastation to an
empty pit six stories deep.

Trade Center Archive can be seen in
the September Online Edition at

“This book promises to become as dog-eared as
the last edition because the recipes are relatively
easy but yield such memorable dishes.”
