Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. This book is about a strange objectstrange in part because it is something that we all have been, and that many of us eat. Nicole Walkers Egg relishes in sharp juxtapositions of seemingly fanciful or repellent topics, so that reproductive science and gustatory habits are considered alongside one another, and personal narrative and broad swaths of natural history jostle, like yolk and albumen. Mapping curious eggs across times, scales, and spaces, Egg draws together surprising perspectives on this common objectegg as food, as art object, as metaphor and feminist symbol, as cultural icon.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. Taking in Faberge eggs, Easter eggs, dinosaur eggs, eggs across cultures and cuisines, rotten eggs, and good eggs, Egg is a whimsical and sometimes surprisingly serious examination of the humble egg.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. When Nicole Walker was molested and had an abortion at age 11, the distance between her and the world grew until she couldnt imagine a future place for her anywhere. In How to Plant a Billion Trees, Walker tries to understand why her whole life didnt fall apart, as was predicted. As she pieces together her story, she finds that it was thanks in no small part to her mother, her sisters, her friends who did not let the sexual abuse to define her. In this candid portrayal of a young girl, Nicole Walker writes about how, thanks to her family, her friends, and the mountains of the Wasatch, Cascades, and San Francisco Peaks, she reknit herself into the fabric of a supportive culture. Employing the forest as a model to understand how to reconnect her life with the world, Nicole studies the way that ecosystems anticipate, react, and support each small part of the whole. As she learns more about ecology, she discovers that in a healthy forest, even the gritty, decaying elements contribute to the health of the forest. The process of rebuilding the self into a community parallels the process of a forests growth. To apply that lesson to the human ecosystem, Nicole realizes that even the hard-to-stomach stories need to be told, and, with air, that grit is transformed into something alive and new. The author of the NY Times essay, My Abortion at 11 Wasnt a Choice. It Was My Life, offers an urgent ecological message and a blueprint for emotional resilience.
