Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon is part memoir, part investigation, and unlike any creative portrait you’ve ever heard before. Recorded over a series of 30 hours of conversation between Simon, Gladwell, and Gladwell’s oldest friend and co-writer, journalist and Broken Record podcast co-host Bruce Headlam, the conversation flows from Simon’s music, to his childhood in Queens, NY, to his frequent collaborators including Art Garfunkel and the nature of creativity itself.

Is Italian olive oil really Italian, or are we dipping our bread in lamp oil? Why are we masochistically drawn to foods that can hurt us, like hot peppers? Far from being a classic American dish, is apple pie actually...English? Matt Siegel sets out “to uncover the hidden side of everything we put in our mouths”. Siegel also probes subjects ranging from the myths - and realities - of food as aphrodisiac, to how one of the rarest and most exotic spices in all the world (vanilla) became a synonym for uninspired sexual proclivities.

We know the universe had a beginning. With the Big Bang, it expanded from a state of unimaginable density to an all-encompassing cosmic fireball to a simmering fluid of matter and energy, laying down the seeds for everything from black holes to one rocky planet orbiting a star near the edge of a spiral galaxy that happened to develop life as we know it. But what happens to the universe at the end of the story? And what does it mean for us now?

In September 2016, a woman in Nevada became the first known case in the US of a person who died of an infection resistant to every antibiotic available. Her death is the worst nightmare of infectious disease doctors and public health professionals. While bacteria live within us and are essential for our health, some strains can kill us. As bacteria continue to mutate, becoming increasingly resistant to known antibiotics, we are likely to face a public health crisis of unimaginable proportions.

A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express - until now. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition - from astrophe, the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to zenosyne, the sense that time keeps getting faster.

The climate of the Earth has changed throughout history. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth's orbit that changes the amount of solar energy. The trend toward current warming is particularly important because the bulk of this phenomenon (more than 95 percent probability) has undoubtedly been the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and is at an unprecedented rate over decades to thousands of years.

Dear Neil...
Letters from an Astrophysicist by Neil deGrasse Tyson held my interest and is one you should give a listen to. It’s uplifting, sometimes sad, and at times gives you something to ponder.
What’s it about? It consists of letters or emails written to Neil with a question or comment pertaining to a certain subject, his response, and some of his life experiences (breakdown below). His answers occasionally contain data and at other times are his personal thoughts on the subject (how to deal with bullying, he’s agnostic, thoughts on Hollywood movies, etc.). You may get a chuckle, learn something, or potentially lose hope with society (hope’s a funny thing isn’t it Neil?). It never ceases to amaze me how one person can inspire others or how frank kids can be.
The reason I give it four stars all around? I didn’t find this was something I had to listen to, but did enjoy it overall. Sometimes I wanted a little more details on the response or the subject. Also would have liked to have a little more personal experiences mixed in. The narration was good, my only gripe is the children voices. Neil- if you do another book similar to this, when a child has written a question, please get a child to voice the question. Please.
The breakdown:
Introduction: a little about his background
Part One: Ethos
Chapter 1: Hope~ Coma, Fear, Losing My Religion, On Being Black, On IQ, 100 mph, If I Were President
Chapter 2: Extraordinary Claims~ ET Phone Home, Aliens Aliens, UFO Sightings, A Glowing Pattern in the Sky, End of the World, Time’s Up, Psychic Teleportation, Parallel Universe, Moons of Mars, Perpetual Motion, Dogon Predictions, Bigfoot, Sixth Sense
Chapter 3: Musings~ Complexity, Spirals, Roots, BC/AD, Skies Over Iraq, Seeing Stars, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I’d Rather Direct, Worst Ever, A Viral Blunder, Breaking Up is Easy to do
Section Two: The Cosmos
Chapter 4: Hate Mail~ An Apology, An Appeal, Moon Lover, We Suck at Science, I’m Not Paying, Feed Christians to the Lions
Chapter 5: Science Denial~ Middle School Skepticism, More Harm Than Good, Evolution vs. Creationism, Qur’anic Verses, Evidence for God, Where’s the Proof
Chapter 6: Philosophy~ Alien Homicide, Truth or Meaning, How, Why, Yin & Yang, I Think Therefore I Doubt, Express Yourself
Section Three: Pathos
Chapter 7: Life and Death~ Remembering Holbrooke, Deadman Talking, Farewell, The Cosmic Perspective, Soul Searching, Hurricane Katrina, Curing Disease, Semper Fi (This is my favorite chapter.)
Chapter 8: Tragedy~ Neil’s experiences/thoughts during and after September 11, 2001 (he lived blocks from The World Trade Center), Heavy Metal, Symbolism Myth and Ritual
Chapter 9: To Believe or Not to Believe~ The Eye of God, Thinking for Yourself, God and the Afterlife, Seeing Eye to Eye, The Bible Tells Me So, A Piece of Pie, Buddhist, Open Mind, Proof, Meaning of Life
Section Four: Kairos
Chapter 10: School Days~ Space Cadet, Elementary Curiosity, Look but Don’t Touch, To Know, Stigma, Not a Shadow of a Doubt, Gifted Students, Accuracy
Chapter 11: Parenting~ Doing Time, On Pretending, Starry Starry Night, Home School, Scary Smart, Half Black, Bible Stories, First Telescope, Happy 30th Anniversary
Chapter 12: Rebuttals~ Making the Grade, B.o.B. and the Flat Earth, A Horse’s Ass to a Physicist, Don’t Have a Cow, Keep Off deGrasse, Hollywood Nights
Epilogue: A Eulogy, of Sorts (letter to his father)
Acknowledgments
*Some letters contain postscripts.
Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Hope is all you have when you realize your not entirely in control of outcomes but without it how else do we cope with the challenges of life?”
“Striving to do what is right without regard to who takes notice should be a model for us all.”
“Flying saucers don’t need runway lights.”
“Any two people in the world have a common ancestor depending on how far back you look. The line we draw to establish family lineage is entirely arbitrary. When I wonder what I am capable of as a human being, I don’t look to relatives, I look to all human beings.”
“Substance matters more than labels.”
“We now live in a world where differences of opinion lead to fights rather than conversations.”
“The only thing to fear is loss of ambition.”
“Even when on the field, I’m thinking about science.”
“A reality exists independent of our perception of it.”
“The headline we never see is psychic wins lottery again.”
“You can be awed by the complexities manifested in the world or you can instead be astonished at how simple it is.”
“If faith is a personal construct then there can be no agreed upon book of answers.”
“Active scientists do not run around declaring science can explain everything.”
“Life here on Earth is nothing more than a phase.”
“At times, the challenges to success can seem endless.”
I recommend if you are new to Neil or a long time follower. Hopefully two things everyone can take away from this book are people with contrasting beliefs can be friends and it’s OK to discuss these differences.
Parental guidance/trigger warnings: brief mention of ancient civilizations (rip heart out of virgins to appease the Gods, eat flesh of those you conquer to make you stronger), mention of Iraq (soldier writing from Iraq), talk about killing (an alien), religion (he doesn’t attempt to change anyone’s beliefs- it’s questions people are asking), 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and Haiti talk, death (cancer), Jail mention (a couple letters are from people who are incarcerated), depression in a teen with ASD, tooth fairy (how a child can find out/test the truth), mention of a school shooting (not a specific one), Hitler mention (1946 GI Olympics). Language used: n-word x2, two words are bleeped out (f-word and ass), one time it is stated “another county is kicking out ass”.

If you want to hear a guy lecturing you how great he is because he’s a black scientist and how “unfair” the world is, then this book is for you. If you want some science facts from a good communicator, look somewhere else.
