In a word, Hear All The Bells is unexpected. The memoir takes the topic of mental illness, so alien and frightening to many people, and makes it accessible. Specifically, Hear All The Bells gives the reader a view below the surface of manic depressive illness, also called bipolar disorder.
Although the book is sometimes painful and disorienting, Hear All The Bells tells an optimistic, engaging, and deeply personal story. The reader becomes a co-traveler on a strange journey, experiencing the world through the eyes of someone in the extreme states of mania, depression, psychosis, and addiction.
This sometimes surreal journey travels from Civil War battlefields to mountaintop removal coal mines, from the Old Jamestown colonial settlement to psychiatric wards and 12 Step rooms. Along the way, Hear All The Bells demonstrates the twin realities of manic depression: it is both destructive and potentially enlightening-ultimately a deeply human experience.
For families, friends, and professionals who work with people who experience extreme moods, these are invaluable insights. For people living with mental conditions, Hear All The Bells tells a hopeful story of recovery and possibility.
Ultimately, the book charts a pathway out of chaos, seeking a more stable state in which the insights of those extreme experiences can be incorporated into a creative, vibrant life.
Although Hear All The Bells is primarily a memoir, it touches on the many justice issues surrounding mental illness, including the mass incarceration of people with mental conditions, unequal access to health care, and the historic stigmatization of people with mental illness. Hear All The Bells seeks change and healing, for individuals, yes, and also for the broader human society.

Описание: The acclaimed author of "Founding Gardeners "reveals the forgotten life of Alexander von Humboldt, the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world and in the process created modern environmentalism. NATIONAL BEST SELLER One of the"New York Times "10Best Books of the Year A""Best Book of the Year: "The Economist," "Publishers Weekly," "Kirkus Reviews" Winner of the Costa Biography Award Finalist -- Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist -- Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction Finalist -- Kirkus Reviews Prize for Nonfiction Finalist -- Independent Bookshop Week Book Award Alexander von Humboldt (1769 1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. In North America, his name still graces four counties, thirteen towns, a river, parks, bays, lakes, and mountains. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether he was climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax-infected Siberia or translating his research into bestselling publications that changed science and thinking. Among Humboldt s most revolutionary ideas was a radical vision of nature, that it is a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. Now Andrea Wulf brings the man and his achievements back into focus: his daring expeditions and investigation of wild environments around the world and his discoveries of similarities between climate and vegetation zones on different continents. She also discusses his prediction of human-induced climate change, his remarkable ability to fashion poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and his relationships with iconic figures such as Simon Bolivar and Thomas Jefferson. Wulf examines how Humboldt s writings inspired other naturalists and poets such as Darwin, Wordsworth, and Goethe, and she makes the compelling case that it was Humboldt s influence that led John Muir to his ideas of natural preservation and that shaped Thoreau s "Walden." With this brilliantly researched and compellingly written book, Andrea Wulf shows the myriad fundamental ways in which Humboldt created our understanding of the natural world, and she champions a renewed interest in this vital and lost player in environmental history and science.

Описание: Bringing to life the science and adventure of eighteenth-century plant collecting, The Brother Gardeners is the story of how six men created the modern garden and changed the horticultural world in the process. It is a story of a garden revolution that began in America. In 1733, colonial farmer John Bartram shipped two boxes of precious American plants and seeds to Peter Collinson in London. Around these men formed the nucleus of a botany movement, which included famous Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus; Philip Miller, bestselling author of "The Gardeners Dictionary"; and Joseph Banks and David Solander, two botanist explorers, who scoured the globe for plant life aboard Captain Cook s Endeavor. As they cultivated exotic blooms from around the world, they helped make Britain an epicenter of horticultural and botanical expertise. "The Brother Gardeners" paints a vivid portrait of an emerging world of knowledge and gardening as we know it today."
