Genevieve Foster's first book, George Washington's world, created interest everywhere because of its informal, graphic and utterly different approach to history. the World histories that followed continued this new and vivid approach and are recognized as unique contributions to books for children and young people. In Abraham Lincoln's world we see what was going on all over the world during the lifetime of Abraham Lincoln. Not only does the book throw light on the Lincoln period and give an interesting picture of LIncoln, it is an excellent background for understanding world events today.

George Orr is a man who discovers he has the peculiar ability to dream things into being -- for better or for worse. In desperation, he consults a psychotherapist who promises to help him -- but who, it soon becomes clear, has his own plans for George and his dreams.The Lathe of Heaven is a dark vision and a warning -- a fable of power uncontrolled and uncontrollable. It is a truly prescient and startling view of humanity, and the consequences of playing God.

Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse.
