The Cataloguer's New Book Picks

Watershed [sound recording] / hosted by Anna Maria Tremonti of CBC Radio One's The Current
HD 1691 W39 2009 MEDIA
I listen to a lot of audio media and was very happy to see this set of CDs has been added to our collection. It is "an in-depth look at how water flows through everything we do. A simple twist of the tap influences global politics, international economics and the ecology of the entire planet."-Cover.

Evelyn Wood Note Taking and Study Skills for Great Grades [electronic resource] / Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics
LB 2395 W66 2006 MEDIA
This interactive CD-ROM is a more interesting way to learn some very important study and note taking skills such as identifying what is likely to be on the test, focusing on the most important to remember information and note taking that fits your learning style.

Children's Games in Street and Playground / Iona and Peter Opie
GV 1204.43 O65 2008 v.1 & v.2
This reprint, originally published in 1969, is a survey of the games children 6-12 were playing all over Great Britain in the 1960s. It has descriptions of classics such as What time is it, Mr. Wolf and British Bulldog and more obscure games like Get the coward. It might be fun to check these books out, gather some friends, embrace your inner child and go play some silly games in the park. Don't forget the bugspray.
