图书描述

Our Miniature Editions "TM" collection continues to grow! Since 1989, when our first minis appeared, Running Press has offered an astonishing range of subjects, sure to find a place in any booklover's library!

In the preface to their collection of photos and personal essays, authors Ruth and Rachel Sandweiss express their desire to "shed light on human relationships in a way that brings us all together." Indeed, the words expressed by the twins featured herein offer insight into the human dilemmas of communication and forgiveness. Twin Aldo Andretti celebrates his brother Mario's car-racing victories, all the while admitting that he wishes it could have been himself, because he also raced as a young man. In another example, twin brothers struggled together to survive the Holocaust, using their inherent sense of teamwork to persevere. Conjoined twin girls develop amazing coordination and cooperation in moving together, yet affirm their individuality in their differing interests and personalities. Some twins work and live together; others enthusiastically support each other in different careers from different sides of the country.

The subject of companionship comes up frequently, and how twins relate to a spouse or lover coming between them. For some, "breaking up" with their twin is a continual difficulty, or an experience they have never allowed to happen. For others, the closeness and support of their twin relationship has allowed them to develop intimacy in other relationships. Whatever the specifics, these open and thoughtful essays convey that twin relationships, like so many human relationships, may be complicated and fraught with tension, but are also filled with love.

                                --Gilia Angell

These books gather all sorts of twins together to explore the unique relationships they share. The Book of Twins, by two of the owners of the New York restaurant Twins, profiles a variety of twins (and one set of triplets) by juxtaposing photographs with brief and generally cheery text. The enthusiastic Ganz sisters (with Tresniowski, a writer for People) look at celebrity twins, twins who married twins, conjoined twins, belly dancing twins, and more. Profiles like the one of a man who lost his twin or of twin sisters facing one sister's cancer offer insight into the complexity twins face during crises. Intermittent sidebars with more twin information (e.g., trends in multiple births, lists of famous twins) add interest. The Sandweiss sisters delve a little deeper into the complexity of twin relationships. Similar in design to the Ganz book, Twins provides more depth of character to each twin, moving further into questions of identity and solidarity. The authors focus on a good mix of twin sets, including their share of famous twins (e.g., Mario and Aldo Andretti, Muhammad Ali's twin daughters). Though both of these could be considered coffee-table books, they are page-turners for people interested in how twins feel about their lives. The increase in multiple births may spark interest in this topic, but since the books cover a lot of the same territory, libraries can take their pick.?Rebecca Miller, "Library Journal"
