I can tell you right now I will be buying this book for my kid. Fanny is actually the 7 year old daughter of Alice Waters, the owner and chef extraordinaire of Chez Panisse in Berkeley (one of our favorite restaurants). Through the eyes of Fanny, you experience the restaurant and the people who run it.

Natural Architecture
A new book due out any moment (11/07) by Alessandro Rocca (and published with princeton architectural press) is called Natural Architecture. These projects are meant to "comment on architecture and provide a new framework to approach buildings and structures." I just think the photos are really cool. Here are a few photos from the book:
(projects are 'la tonnelle’ by gilles bruni and marc babarit, 1996; 'organic highway' by mikael hansen 1995; 'the streampath' by gilles bruni and marc babarit, 1998; 'clemson clay nest' by nils-udo, 2005; 'weidendom' by sanfte strukturen, 2001; 'convex:concave' by armin schubert, 2003; 'organism' by armin schubert, 2005; 'running in circles' willow and maple saplings, patrick dougherty, 1996)
