More New Books for the New Year

We have received some new books for the new year: Chinese Art and Indian Art, two books which trace the art of those two Asian cultures throughout the ages, giving full color examples and detailed explanations.

We got two books designed to help students catch up on their math:

College Algebra Demystified: a Self-teaching Guide, and Pre-Algebra Demystified.

Food, Inc. is a book companion to the movie of the same name and it goes into further details about where our food comes from and where it Should come from.

The Handy Astronomy Answer Book. and The Image Taker: the Selected Stories and photographs of Edward S. Curtis round out the collection.
