The Great Teas of China is the authoritative guide to the extraordinary tea world of China, written by the leading master tea merchant in the United States, Roy Fong. From hand-picked white teas from Fu Ding and expertly crafted oolongs from Taiwan, to patiently aged puerh from Yunnan and everything in between, Fong offers his insights on choosing, brewing, and enjoying more than a dozen of his favorite Chinese teas. Fong’s Imperial Tea Court teahouse in San Francisco has been an inspiration to a whole generation of tea enthusiasts, who visit from all over the world to enjoy the finest selection of Chinese teas available in America. The Great Teas of China is a very personal and accessible introduction to contemporary tea connoisseurship. The Great Teas of China includes detailed information about tea farming, local history and culture of tea-growing regions, and artisanal techniques for processing the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the flowering perennial at the hear of Chinese culture for thousands of years. In 1993, Hong Kong native Roy Fong and his wife, Grace, created the now famous Imperial Tea Court in San Francisco, California. He is widely recognized as an authority on Chinese tea and has written about tea for Kyoto Journal and Tea Magazine, been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Forbes, Gourmet, Wine Spectator, and Sunset Magazine, and has appeared on the National Public Radio program “Talk of the Nation” and in the film The Meaning of Tea.

Education & Reference

"A year in the life of the Little Brown Bat is beautifully depicted in both the text and the illustrations of this natural science picture book. Bash opens a world of shadows and night sounds to young readers, communicating in an unsensational way the creature's complexity and grace. Her watercolor illustrations are evocative and realistic, conveying mood as well as the motion of the small, swooping creature she describes." --Booklist "Beginning with the spring gathering of 'maternity colonies' in steeples, barn rafters and chimneys, readers learn about bat behavior, biology and the basics of echolocation. Luminous watercolors and lively information present the world's only flying mammals in a sympathetic, even endearing light." --Publishers Weekly "Bash's illustrative talents shine. . . . An excellent choice." --School Library Journal, starred review "An artist's eye is apparent in each dramatic spread. . . . Beautiful and informative." --Kirkus, pointer review

Come Back, Salmon: How a Group of Dedicated Kids Adopted Pigeon Creek and Brought It Back to Life

Come Back, Salmon

From Gisela Jernigan--Childrens Literature: "Although Pigeon Creek flows into Washington's beautiful Puget Sound, before it was adopted and cleaned up by Mr. Jackson's fifth grade class, it was so full of trash that you could barely see the water, let alone any fish. Just about everyone in Jackson Elementary, led by the dedicated fifth grade, helped to clean the creek and restock it with baby salmon. Throughout the project the kids learned a great deal about the ecology of the stream and the needs and life cycle of the Coho salmon. And even though many people told them the salmon would never return to Pigeon Creek, they were successful. The many colored photos and drawings enhance the lively text, which is informal, informational and inspiring. Orbis Pictus Award winner and a Horn Book Fanfare award."
