Alvin and Larry Ubell, the self-appointed "Gurus of How-To," uncover some of the nuts and bolts of home repair. Call 212-267-WNYC with questions. Then, Peter DeLeo describes a disastrous sightseeing trip to the Sierra Nevadas that tested all of his survival instincts. After living through a plane crash, he faced broken bones, blizzards, and extreme hunger as he searched for help for himself and his companions. Next, two-time Booker Prize-winner Peter Carey (Oscar and Lucinda and True History of the Kelly Gang) tries his hand at non-fiction with an account of discovering the world of anime with his son: Wrong About Japan. And Kwame Anthony
Appiah explores the boundaries and meanings of different markers of
identity--such as race, nationality, sexuality, and religion--in The Ethics of Identity.
