KIRKUS REVIEW
The sad chimney corner tale of the death of an emperor and his consort -- the handsome but hapless Hapsburg, Maximilian, and his Belgian bride -- who in spite of their steadfast pursuit of imperialistic chimeras still represent the tragedy of innocence used and destroyed. More or less shunted aside by his less well favored older brother, Franz Joseph of Austria, Maximilian, buoyant, popular, with a heady idealism not yet soured, married good looking, competent Charlotte of Belgium. After a sojourn in Italy and a honeymoon idyll at their retreat at Miramar, the two were persuaded by the Hapsburgs and Louis Napoleon III to accept the "crown" of Mexico in an agreement with Mexican conservatives. But the golden vision became a Sargasso… Read More

Kirkus Review: Snippets of family gossip keep Ellery Queen on tiptoes in typically American Wrightsville, where he is incognito-ing. Forewarned of attempts on bride's life, when murder occurs, Queen is fighting to protect his new friends when the young husband is put on trial. He throws himself to the lions to aid the youth, quits when the wife dies in childbirth and the youth suicides, and returns to patch up a romance with the true explanation of events. Novel of deduction rather than straight detection procedure.

James Macklin Chase was a poor Pennsylvanian who dreamed of making it rich in California. But at the turn of the century, the money to be made was in oil, citrus, water rights, and the railroads. Mack would have it all, if he had his way. And along the way, the men and women he met, the passion he found, the enemies he made, and the great historical figures like William Randolph Hearts, Leland Stanford, and Theodore Roosevelt, he encountered, helped bring glory to the extraordinary century."Riveting...California Gold strikes pay dirt....This sweeping epic is a dynamite tribute to the sheer pluck of one man who scorns all obstacles.

Veering off the fast track of vigilante police thrillers, Rosenberg (Mitigating Circumstances, 1992, etc.) spins a cloying tale of supernatural do-gooding. Wispy, nurturing Toy Johnson, a schoolteacher to ruffian kids in Santa Ana, Calif., champions the underprivileged; she is especially fond of children (the sicker the better), not only because she has the empathy of a martyr, but because she and her wealthy but selfish doctor husband, Stephen, are infertile. Toy went into cardiac arrest once in her youth, so her system is delicate. When she finally leaves her insensitive spouse, the strain prompts another cardiac episode while she is visiting Manhattan. A friend brings her to the hospital, and the perturbed Stephen jets to her bedside, but Toy, feeling much better once conscious, escapes to the streets of New York, where she has a narcoleptic attack. When she… Read More

About the book: What will California look like by the middle of the twenty-first century? Change is occurring in the state at a breathtaking pace. The state will face many extraordinary challenges. Yet today most Californians believe that their elected officials are unable to develop effective public policies. Mark Baldassare examines the powerful undercurrents--economic, demographic, and political--shaping California at this critical juncture in its history. He focuses on three trends that are profoundly affecting the social and political landscape of the state: political distrust, racial and ethnic change, and regional diversity. Baldassare discusses the complexities of this situation and offers a series of substantive recommendations for how California can come to terms with the unprecedented challenges it faces.
