The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth In 1735, the Swedish botanist Linnaeus started a revolution by inventing a classification system that brought order to the chaos of the natural world. Conniff introduces some of the more notable—or obsessed—seekers who have answered the Linnaean call, discovering along the way that “nature is not just weird, but limitlessly so.”
Full of Grace: Encountering Mary in Faith, Art, and Life The Virgin Mary has inspired countless stories of love,” writes Dupré. This exquisite book for believer and nonbeliever alike explores Mary’s life and influence in short chapters illustrated by Marian artwork. The result captures “Mary’s ubiquitous presence and the extraordinary pull she has exerted” throughout the years.
Origins: How the Nine Months before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives “When we hold our babies for the first time, we imagine them clean and new, unmarked by life,” Paul writes. But, in this examination of a new scientific field known as “fetal origins,” Paul notes that at birth, babies have “already been shaped by the world, and by us.” To mothers-to-be who feel beleaguered by a litany of threats du jour: be reassured.
The Women Jefferson Loved Thomas Jefferson fathered a country, six children with his wife Martha, and, we now know, seven with his slave-mistress Sally Hemings. Historians have struggled to examine his roles as husband, father, and son, because relatives burned most letters not in keeping with the official legacy. Scharff probes material that escaped the flames and illuminates the women in Jefferson’s life.
