SUMMARY:Eric Jay Dolin\, author of The Wreck of the Mentor
DESCRIPTION:From the best–selling author of Black Flags\, Blue Waters comes the story of the American whaleship Mentor\, wrecked in 1832 on a remote reef in the western Pacific. With supplies dwindling\, the eleven surviving crewmen face not only the miseries of shipwreck in unfamiliar territory but also the profound uncertainty of contact with the Indigenous people of the Micronesian archipelago of Palau\, who within days approach the deserted men brandishing axes\, clubs\, and spears. In this gripping saga of cultural collision\, tribal wars\, and dashed hopes\, award–winning historian Eric Jay Dolin vividly reconstructs the Mentor’s doomed voyage\, the years of perilous captivity\, and the delicate negotiations and fraught naval rescue mission that followed.

SUMMARY:Lorraine Boissoneault\, author of Body Weather\, in conversation with Lizzie Stark
DESCRIPTION:Science writer Lorraine Boissoneault has been in pain for most of her adult life. Unable to control or make sense of her chronic illness diagnoses\, she began describing the ebb and flow of her symptoms as “body weather.” At first an imaginative approach to coping with flare-ups\, the phrase has become a waypoint in Lorraine’s explorations of the intimate relationship between our fragile bodies and the world around us.
