He followed that up with an excursion that could only have come about in 2020-Nick and his wife, Megan Mullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the United States. In 2018, Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick, a query that planted the seed of this book, sending Nick on two memorable journeys with pals-a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of The Shepherd's Life and English Pastoral. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the land itself, both historically and currently. Nick Offerman has always felt a particular affection for the Land of the Free-not just for the people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself: the bedrock, the topsoil, and everything in between that generates the health of your local watershed. Description A humorous and rousing set of literal and figurative sojourns as well as a mission statement about comprehending, protecting, and truly experiencing the outdoors, fueled by three journeys undertaken by actor, humorist, and New York Times bestselling author Nick Offerman 5/27/2023 0 Comments The gene book siddhartha mukherjee“Mukherjee expresses abstract intellectual ideas through emotional stories… swaddles his medical rigor with rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability, and occasional flashes of pure poetry” (The Washington Post). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost” (The New York Times). Siddhartha Mukherjee dazzled readers with his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies in 2010. “Sid Mukherjee has the uncanny ability to bring together science, history, and the future in a way that is understandable and riveting, guiding us through both time and the mystery of life itself.” -Ken Burns The basis for the PBS Ken Burns Documentary The Gene: An Intimate Historyįrom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies-a fascinating history of the gene and “a magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick” (Elle). 2017 Audie Award Finalist for Non-Fiction 5/27/2023 0 Comments Speaker of the dead ender's gameBy the end of the novel, Ender becomes the great leader and warrior everyone thought he could be. There, Ender goes through a long series of exciting challenges while experiencing plenty of conflict with his less talented, envious classmates. To save his species, Ender agrees to be taken from his family and enroll in Battle School, which is a bit like Hogwarts but in space. The problem is that he's only six years old. Ender Wiggin is a genius who may be the only one who can save the human race from extinction at the hands of a frightening and technologically-superior alien race. If you haven't seen the previews, Ender's Gameis a classic inter-planetary science fiction novel with a twist. If you've seen the film Ender's Game (or are planning to) here's what makes the book worth reading, and what you can learn about it and the mistakes of the rest of the series. I enjoyed the action-packed novel enough to read the second and third books in the series and found them to be troubled for the opposite reasons Ender's Game was great. If I can, I always like to read the book before I watch the film adaptation, and so last week, I picked up the science fiction classic Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Mansfield park novelBut Miss Frances married, in the common phrase, to disoblige her family, and by fixing on a lieutenant of marines, without education, fortune, or connexions, did it very thoroughly. Norris began their career of conjugal felicity with very little less than a thousand a year. Miss Ward’s match, indeed, when it came to the point, was not contemptible: Sir Thomas being happily able to give his friend an income in the living of Mansfield and Mr. Norris, a friend of her brother-in-law, with scarcely any private fortune, and Miss Frances fared yet worse. Miss Ward, at the end of half a dozen years, found herself obliged to be attached to the Rev. But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them. She had two sisters to be benefited by her elevation and such of their acquaintance as thought Miss Ward and Miss Frances quite as handsome as Miss Maria, did not scruple to predict their marrying with almost equal advantage. All Huntingdon exclaimed on the greatness of the match, and her uncle, the lawyer, himself, allowed her to be at least three thousand pounds short of any equitable claim to it. About thirty years ago Miss Maria Ward, of Huntingdon, with only seven thousand pounds, had the good luck to captivate Sir Thomas Bertram, of Mansfield Park, in the county of Northampton, and to be thereby raised to the rank of a baronet’s lady, with all the comforts and consequences of an handsome house and large income. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Louisiana longshotTo top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions.
