In Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, Simon Winchester [The Map That Changed the World; The Professor and the Madman] connects 19th-century volcanic activity with political and religious unrest in modern Indonesia. Though in other hands, this might seem like a bit of a stretch, Winchester builds a convincing and entertaining case for his theories. Author Lauren Weisberger once worked as an assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour, a woman who has become as much of a celebrity as the fashion stars her magazine features. In Weisberger's debut novel, The Devil Wears Prada, the narrator gets a job working for an influential, kooky editor of a celebrated fashion magazine, leading literati in the know to ask: Is Anna Wintour Satan? The Devil Wears Prada is doing well, perhaps only because a lot of readers are having fun trying to separate fiction from fact. Author and co-director of the Yale Center for the Study of Learning, Sally Shaywitz, tells us that dyslexia affects one in five children. Clearly a figure like that explains why Overcoming Dyslexia has become so popular so quickly: this is a topic close to many hearts. Shaywitz' book is clear, eloquent and, ultimately, helpful.
