To whom does the past belong? Is the archeologist who discovers a lost tomb a sort of hero -- or a villain? If someone steals a relic from a museum and returns it to the ruin it came from, is she a thief? Written in his trademark lyrical style, Craig Childs's riveting new book is a ghost story -- an intense, impassioned investigation into the nature of the past and the things we leave behind. We visit lonesome desert canyons and fancy Fifth Avenue art galleries, journey throughout the Americas, Asia, the past and the present. The result is a brilliant book about man and nature, remnants and memory, a dashing tale of crime and detection.Binding Type: Paperback

An Excellent Behind-The-Scenes Account Of A Chaotic Congress
Format: Kindle
This book was exactly what I hoped it would be - informative, well written, and a little bit gossipy while also thoroughly researched and fair to both sides. Do the Republicans who ran Congress in 2023 and 2024 come off looking incompetent and foolish? Yes, but that’s because the authors accurately report the things they did, not because of any bias they have. If you’re a political junky or just interested in how our political system works (or, in this case, doesn’t work) then you’ll enjoy this book.

Your representative at work?
Format: Hardcover
As books on political topics go, this was certainly, well, entertaining. Gives you more than one idea why the Congress is tied in knots, accomplishes little, represents the people badly.
