Earth has been reinventing itself for more than four billion years, keeping a record of its experiments in the form of rocks. Yet most of us live our lives on the planet with no idea of its extraordinary history, unable to interpret the language of the rocks that surround us. Geologist Marcia Bjornerud believes that our lives can be enriched by understanding our heritage on this old and creative planet. Contrary to their reputation, rocks have eventful lives—and they intersect with our own in surprising ways.

I love learning geology with a bit of novel aspect! I likely need to read it again due to its complexity. she does a great job of explaining some of the new discoveries in geology and comparing them to human life!

In Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden poet and scholar Camille T. Dungy recounts the seven-year odyssey to diversify her garden in the predominantly white community of Fort Collins, Colorado. When she moved there in 2013, with her husband and daughter, the community held strict restrictions about what residents could and could not plant in their gardens.

Sowing seeds of beauty and racial justice
Revisado: 07-28-24
I love this book! Her writing is colorful, thoughtful, and beautiful. I love that she mentioned books I have read like Braiding Sweetgrass, and areas I have seen! I love that she includes her child in the story and the many animals and plants in her yard. It makes a wonder soil in which to hopefully bury her despair and plant her seeds of hope for racial justice!

As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

loved learning about Bletchley Park in this fascinating historical novel about cryptography during World War 2, and Prince Philip's pre-Elizabeth love life brought to life. Great character development!

The Years is a personal narrative of the period of 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present - even projections into the future - photos, books, songs, radio, television, and decades of advertising and headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and written notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the time, slogans, brands, and names for ever-proliferating objects are given a voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges.

the Best book!
Revisado: 10-11-22
The best book I've read bringing back memories of my life and the history of the world. Although I am almost 20 years younger than the author, I remember some of the world's history she mentions names cascade back like Solzhenitsyn (whom my brother resembled on his return from France after loosing his hair and growing a beard his Junior year abroad), Boris Yeltsin, and Lech Walesa (remind me to look them up as I have little true knowledge of them other than names repeated interminably on the news). Do I know anything of the war in Algers, much less the French involvement? But yet the book is amazing in its one, we, and us perspective making you feel you are there. I always thought a book could be written using common phases and here she has done it without a hint of the trite! Of course, she won the Nobel prize, how could she not with this! Where has she been all my life. She encourages one to write...starting now! A gift of a book from one who must have been an amazing teacher.
