Oxo Good Grips Flexible Vegetable Brush
Amazon.com Review
Carrots and potatoes, beets and broccoli–no matter how round, bumpy, or odd the surface, this brush’s flexible body will follow the contours. The nylon bristles are strong and sturdy, dislodging dirt in deep nooks and crannies. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. –Laurie Notaro

Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector’s Series) (1998)
Amazon.com essential video
Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck nabbed one for Best Original Screenplay, but the feel-good hit Good Will Hunting triumphs because of its gifted director, Gus Van Sant. The unconventional director (My Own Private Idaho, Drugstore Cowboy) saves a script marred by vanity and clunky character development by yanking soulful, touching performances out of his entire cast (amazingly, even one by Williams that’s relatively schtick-free). Van Sant pulls off the equivalent of what George Cukor accomplished for women’s melodrama in the ’30s and ’40s: He’s crafted an intelligent, unabashedly emotional male weepie about men trying to find inner-wisdom. Matt Damon stars as Will Hunting, a closet math genius who ignores his gift in favor of nightly boozing and fighting with South Boston buddies (co-writer Ben Affleck among them). While working as a university janitor, he solves an impossible calculus (more…)

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (Kindle Edition)
Amazon.com Review
Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. Pratchett’s wackiness collaborates with Gaiman’s morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and again. You see, there was a bit of a mixup when the Antichrist was born, due in part to the machinations of Crowley, who did not so much fall as saunter downwards, and in part to the mysterious ways as manifested in the form of a part-time rare book dealer, an angel named Aziraphale. Like top agents everywhere, they’ve long had more in common with each other than the sides they represent, or the conflict they are nominally engaged in. The only person who knows how it will all end is Agnes Nutter, a witch whose prophecies all come true, if one can only manage to decipher them. The minor characters along the way (Famine makes an appearance as (more…)

Good Morning Revival
Amazon.com
Their multiple piercings, shaved heads, and abundant tattoos have them labeled a punk band, but on their fourth album, Good Charlotte–led by twin brothers Joel (lead vocals) and Benji (lead guitar) Madden–fall much more under the umbrella of 1970s arena rock and mainstream ballads. There is the occasional foray into the pop-punk mode of previous records, including the distorted-vocal rap “Keep Your Hands Off My Girl” and “Broken Hearts Parade,” which sounds like Green Day with horns. It’s easy to see the maturation in the Maddens’ songwriting on such tracks as “The River,” a surveillance of the inner workings of Los Angeles, the grass-is-greener pop song “Something Else,” and “Where Would We Be,” a break-up ballad about Joel Madden’s split with pop princess Hilary Duff. With a piano lead and strident chorus, Madden admits, “Now I must confess that I’m a sinking ship/And I’m anchored by the weight of my heart.” Browbeaten in theory, like sister songs “Misery,” (more…)

Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life (Hardcover)
Review
Starred Review. A landmark book in the science of emotion and its implications for ethics and human universals, this is essential for all libraries. (Library Journal )
A new examination of the surprising origins of human goodness. In Born to Be Good, Dacher Keltner demonstrates that humans are not hardwired to lead lives that are “nasty, brutish, and short”—we are in fact born to be good. He investigates an old mystery of human evolution: why have we evolved positive emotions like gratitude, amusement, awe, and compassion that promote ethical action and are the fabric of cooperative societies? By combining stories of scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy, Keltner illustrates his discussions with more than fifty photographs of human emotions. Born to Be Good is a profound study of how emotion is the key to living the good life and how the path to happiness goes through human emotions that connect people to one anothe (more…)
