Oliver Sacks On the Move

Our 2015 Holiday Round-up of books — to crave, see, read, give and keep –is coming next week in four installments!

Photography — from phytoplankton to Hubble Telescope images

Questing and Travel –from a walk on ancient footpaths, to railroad journeys, a trip up or down the Nile, and how humans navigated before the age of GPS

Science and Natural History – women who changed science, ideas that fixed the world, and several of the world’s greatest naturalists

Best of the Best features prize-winning nonfiction writers who astonish with their storytelling– from ancient Rome to a Congo boy kept in a cage at a US zoo, the capacity of animals to understand, and the power of two oceans (Pacific and Atlantic)
