Harvest for Hope by Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall has devoted her life to the well-being of chimps and baboons. Now she's worried about another kind of primate: humans. Plus: the life and work of Henry Adams, who helped revolutionize the study of American history. Also, how to capture the beauty of the wilderness on film, and a visit from Australian novelist Tim Winton.
Remember Henry Adams
Henry Adams helped revolutionize the study of American history, but hardly anyone has read his writing. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills thinks we should. Wills's new book is Henry Adams and the Making of America.
