A Pocket-Sized Collection of Quotations by John Muir in an Elegant Hardcover Edition

Muir J: Quotations of John Muir

Quotations of John Muir

A kaleidoscopic journey through the secret history of hues—and the story of the obsessive genius behind the definitions of colors we use today, from the beloved author of Word by Word "Wildly entertaining and bountifully informative; I couldn't have enjoyed myself more." —Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English begonia (n.): 3 -s : a deep pink that is bluer, lighter, and stronger than average coral (see coral 3b), bluer than fiesta, and bluer and stronger than sweet william — called also gaiety What could "bluer than fiesta" possibly mean? While editing dictionaries for Merriam-Webster, Kory Stamper found herself drawn again and again to the whimsical color definitions in Webster’s Third New International Dictionary—especially when compared to the dry and impersonal entries that filled the rest of the volume. Stamper couldn’t help but wonder: Who was the voice behind these peculiar definitions? Meet I. H. Godlove, an erratic but brilliant up-and-coming scientist who was one of the experts Merriam-Webster hired in 1930 to help revise the dictionary to reflect a rapidly modernizing world. His fascinating life mirrors the wild and winding journey that color science, color psychology, and color production took through the twentieth century. Stamper tracks these industries as they move into the atomic age and intertwine in strange and surprising ways, spanning two world wars and involving chemical explosions, an unexpected suicide, dramatic office politics, and an extraordinary love story. Filled with captivating facts about color words and colors themselves—did you know that the word “puke” used to refer to a fashionable shade of reddish-brown before it was associated with vomit?—and fueled by Stamper’s inexhaustible curiosity, True Color will transform the way you see the world, from black-and-white to Technicolor.

THE STORIES THAT STAY: On Writing, Memory, and the Art That Keeps Us AliveWhat happens when a writer finally listens back across everything he has made?For more than two decades, Tim Bryant has been writing novels - mysteries, Southern stories, books about music and grief and faith and small towns where guilt has somewhere to live. He thought he was moving on. The books, it turns out, were not.The Stories That Stay is the third book in Bryant's acclaimed writing series - following Why Write and What To Write - and it may be the most personal. Where the earlier books asked writers to examine their reasons and their craft, this one asks something harder: what has the work been doing to you all along?Tracing the hidden conversation running through more than twenty novels and manuscripts - from the PJ McBride mysteries set on a Southern university campus to a ninety-year-old woman who understands joy better than anyone around her, from a sacred relic emerging from the earth to a drummer driving home to bury his father - Bryant listens for what has been trying to survive there. What he finds is not a theory of fiction but something more intimate and more useful: an honest account of how stories make us, expose us, and carry us forward even when we are not brave enough to carry ourselves.Each chapter opens with a question the work kept asking: Why does the mystery need the town? Why does grief need the chair? Why does the wound need the body? The answers take Bryant through the architecture of character and place, through the theology of ordinary objects, through the stubbornness of the dead, and finally to the table where all human storytelling begins - and where it always, eventually, returns.This is a book for writers who are ready to be honest about what they are really doing. It is also a book for readers who have ever felt that a story, a song, or a sentence arrived in their life at exactly the necessary moment and stayed long after the reading was done.The table is still set. The stories are still being exchanged. And neither, Bryant insists, is over yet.
