Recommends Little Witch Hazel
Um, Little Witch Hazel. It's a picture book by Phoebe Wahl. It's just absolutely beautiful and my daughter's eyes light up every time we pull it off the shelf. Um, so if there are parents out there looking for a good one, I would recommend.

Recommends The Challenger Launch Decision
Uh number one, the Challenger launch decision. Um so, this is a book about why the Challenger exploded, and it's by Diane Vaughan, who's a social scientist.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
