Alan Davidson, food historian, distinguished author, and publisher, is one of the world's best-known writers on fish and fish cookery. Among his popular books are North Atlantic Seafood and Mediterranean Seafood.

This nifty full-colored book is a must read for bike fans of any ilk. Originating from Bike Culture Quarterly, a very hip journal out of York, England, enCycleopedia gives the reader-cyclist the rundown on new ideas and innovations from around the world concerning all things bike, from portables to recumbents (those weird-looking bikes where people sit leaning back) to load-carrying ones and accessories. The brief profiles of inventors and how they can be contacted lends this book added importance. There is an interesting selection of articles from BCQ, allowing for an enlightening perspective on how bikes and their practical use are viewed in other parts of the world. For library borrowers who appreciate bikes, their easy mobility (especially in congested urban areas), and even their history, this is a vital addition to the technology collection. Raul Nino
