Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you hear the news? Maybe not. Read this book and find out what you're missing. Read all about it! It's all here, or at least some of it, in column centimetres times two. It's hot off the presses and cool off the screen. In this "information age" where the "information highway" is becoming a toll road and the "free flow of information" is a cross between diarrhea and constipation, it's becoming more and more difficult to know who, what, when, where, how, and why. Terrian Journals' News To Me is about more than what news is, it's about the why of the what, when, where, and how. The why frames all the rest. It explains ''news judgement'', ''editorial decisions'', ''lineup'', ''headlines'', ''local interest'', and the vast domain of ''coverage''. This book is about the news and specific news stories that illustrate what does and does not get into the news and what shape it's in when it arrives. It's about missing facts, stories, details, and even word usage. A number of things become sludge compacted into an amount. "All the news", "all the time" makes it possible to know everything and almost nothing simultaneously. It's drowning in-depth coverage. It's the same old stories being repeated almost endlessly every few moments, with identical pre-recorded words from formerly live, direct, and still unedited reports. News rooms pile on the news of the moment until it breaks from the weight of stalker-like reporting, commentator obssession, and mulling over the same sources' last breaths, while the story is completely smothered, rendering the news audience unconscious. Getting "all the news", "all the time" every day never really happens. The news lineup topples over in irregular shapeless forms which are confusing, overwhelming, uninforming, and disappointing. If it's weeds it leads and continuity blurs until fading to black. Fluffy features replace sharp ones, muting, muffling, diverting, and distracting. Balanced news becomes a story about a climate change emergency placed between two fossil fuel commercials and a feature about the latest internal combustion vehicles at the car show. Paying advertisers love this ''objectitivy'' in a ''crisis'' The last words of the news broadcast trivialize all that comes before, as every news host must comment or jest about things s/he knows little about in a trivial pursuit. From headlines to updates, you really don't know what you're missing, if the newsroom goes on a tangent, covering only one story ad nauseum, for hours, days, months, or years. When a single news story goes viral, it renders the newsroom invalid and destroys all functioning brain cells of the news audience. No matter how many times something goes viral, no immunity is created. No investigative reporting unit is sent out to find an antidote, a vaccine, or a cure for what's infecting newsrooms. You don't know what you're missing if you're getting all your news from only one source, from only one part of the world, and in only one language. Different angles, coverage, and details are missing links between you and what's happening all around you, close by and far away. The same old story gets more priority than unleashing news hounds, intensive questioning, highly detailed reporting, and nit-picking editorial work. And when all these essential elements of story-telling are lost, the full story may never be told. Here is the news... (continued on page one of Terrian Journals' News To Me)

Download or read book The White Darkness written by David Grann and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager, a thrilling and powerful true story of adventure and obsession in the Antarctic, lavishly illustrated with color photographs. "[Grann is] one of the preeminent adventure and true-crime writers working today."—New York Magazine Henry Worsley was a devoted husband and father and a decorated British special forces officer who believed in honor and sacrifice. He was also a man obsessed. He spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the nineteenth-century polar explorer, who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole, and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Shackleton never completed his journeys, but he repeatedly rescued his men from certain death, and emerged as one of the greatest leaders in history. Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. He was related to one of Shackleton's men, Frank Worsley, and spent a fortune collecting artifacts from their epic treks across the continent. He modeled his military command on Shackleton's legendary skills and was determined to measure his own powers of endurance against them. He would succeed where Shackleton had failed, in the most brutal landscape in the world. In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton's crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape, life-threatening physical exhaustion, and hidden crevasses. Yet when he returned home he felt compelled to go back. On November 13, 2015, at age 55, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone. David Grann tells Worsley's remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led him to be called "simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today." Illustrated with more than fifty stunning photographs from Worsley's and Shackleton's journeys, The White Darkness is both a gorgeous keepsake volume and a spellbinding story of courage, love, and a man pushing himself to the extremes of human capacity. Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!

Book excerpt: "There is no other writer like Nicole Walker for weaving a fabric that incorporates all the threads of her reality: the scientific and the poetic, the trivial and the dire, the mundane and the apocalyptic, all held together by her deep pleasure in the operations of language itself." --Katharine Coles "Like Galeano's BOOK OF EMBRACES or Weil's GRAVITY AND GRACE, Nicole Walker's MICROGRAMS portray the force of a keen mind fully engaged with disparate, successive parts of the world, which unify, reconfigure, and become new things in her strange, wondrous prose. These essays are not description or depiction but revelation; they both show and prophesy." --Patrick Madden "Though I'm tempted to applaud the micro-joys, micro-fascinations, and micro-revelations of Nicole Walker's MICROGRAMS, the truth is that this miniscule book of micro-essays offers inquisitive readers gargantuan pleasures. A micro-burst of essays, fresh and intriguing." --Dinty W. Moore "MICROGRAMS by Nicole Walker is a cause for swooning and celebration. I cleaned my glasses and caught my breath. She is a microscope and a telescope, gives us a book writ large, writ small. 'Let's go smaller, ' she asks us, but never in import as, in her delightful deadpan, she leads us through life and death. Yes, it's a small world after all. And an extraordinary book about looking close, and thinking far." --David Lazar

Book excerpt: A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.
Download or read book A Conservationist Manifesto written by Scott Russell Sanders and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Eloquent . . . a must-read for anyone committed to taking care of the natural world and passing it along to future generations” (ForeWord). As an antidote to the destructive culture of consumption dominating American life today, Scott Russell Sanders calls for a culture of conservation that allows us to savor and preserve the world, instead of devouring it. How might we shift to a more durable and responsible way of life? What changes in values and behavior will be required? Ranging from southern Indiana to the Boundary Waters Wilderness, and from billboards to the Bible, Sanders’s 40-point blueprint for ecological health extends the visions of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Rachel Carson to our own day. A Conservationist Manifesto shows the crucial relevance of a conservation ethic at a time of mounting concern about global climate change, depletion of natural resources, extinction of species, and the economic inequities between rich and poor nations. The important message of these “original and intriguing” essays is that conservation is not simply a personal virtue but a public one (Publishers Weekly). “A book to be savored—for its language, its stories, its sense of place, and for how it reminds us of the profound relationships with nature and each other that can inspire us to change how we live on this planet.” —Will Rogers, President, The Trust for Public Land

Download or read book A Private History of Awe written by Scott Russell Sanders and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original and searching memoir from "one of America's finest essayists" (Phillip Lopate) When Scott Russell Sanders was four, his father held him in his arms during a thunderstorm, and he felt awe—"the tingle of a power that surges through bone and rain and everything." He says, "The search for communion with this power has run like a bright thread through all my days." A Private History of Awe is an account of this search, told as a series of awe-inspiring episodes: his early memory of watching a fire with his father; his attraction to the solemn cadences of the Bible despite his frustration with Sunday-school religion; his discovery of books and the body; his mounting opposition to the Vietnam War and all forms of violence; his decision to leave behind the university life of Oxford and Harvard and return to Indiana, where three generations of his family have put down roots. In many ways, this is the story of a generation's passage through the 1960s—from innocence to experience, from euphoria to disillusionment. But Sanders has found a language that captures the transcendence of ordinary lives while never reducing them to formula. In his hands, the pattern of American boyhood that was made classic by writers from Mark Twain to Tobias Wolff is given a powerful new charge.
