Books by splitShops Gather the Olives: On Food and Hope and the Holy Land - Hardcover
by Bret Lott (Author)Gather the Olives is an achingly lovely essay collection that celebrates the multiculturalism of Israel and Palestine, lifting up those whose generosity and kindness lights the way to lasting peace. -FOREWORD REVIEWSGather the Olives is a dangerous book. That's because it is about peace in a time when peace in the Holy Land is a faraway, even radical notion. It is about hope and food and community and the way there can be solidarity in sharing a meal. Hence the danger: this book might remind its brave readers of how peace is nourished and how hope can't be extinguished.Over the years, Bret Lott-the bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including the novel Jewel (an Oprah's Book Club selection)-has lived and taught in Jerusalem, affording him the opportunity to travel throughout Israel and the surrounding area. Now, in Gather the Olives, this gifted storyteller has brought together a collection of intimate portraits of the people, the food, and the hope for peace to be found in a region ravaged by war and conflict.Through meditations on such varied matters as an olive oil cooperative run by Israeli and Palestinian women, a non-kosher butcher shop in the middle of upscale-and very kosher-German Colony, the nighttime harvesting of olives by Bedouins in downtown Jerusalem, a traditional Shabbat dinner at an ancient home within the walls of the Old City, a simple yet beautiful plate of fruit in an office in Ramallah, Bret Lott considers how food and the people with whom we share it can bring together hearts and souls in a lasting, meaningful, and peaceful way.

Books by splitShops Origin Story: The Trials of Charles Darwin - Hardcover
by Howard Markel (Author)By early morning of June 30, 1860, a large crowd began to congregate in front of Oxford University's brand-new Museum of Natural History. The occasion was the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the subject of discussion was Charles Darwin's new treatise: fact or fiction?Darwin, a simultaneously reclusive and intellectually audacious squire from Kent, claimed to have solved "that mystery of mysteries," introducing a logical explanation of the origin of species--how they adapted, even transmogrified, through natural selection. At stake, on that summer's day of spirited debate, was the very foundation of modern biology, not to mention the future of the church. Without fear of exaggeration, Darwin's thesis would forever change our understanding of the life sciences and the natural world. And yet the author himself was nowhere to be found in the debate hall--instead, he was miles away, seeking respite from a spate of illnesses that had plagued him for much of his adult life.In Origin Story, medical historian Howard Markel recounts the two-year period (1858 to 1860) of Darwin's writing of On the Origin of Species through its spectacular success and controversy. Simultaneously, Markel delves into the mysterious health symptoms Darwin developed, combing the literature to emerge with a cogent diagnosis of a case that has long fascinated medical historians. The result is a colorful portrait of the man, his friends and enemies, and his seminal work, which resonates to this day.Back Jacket Praise for The Secret of Life by Howard Markel "Howard Markel--physician, professor and gifted writer--tells the story [of DNA] again, setting scenes and shrewdly capturing the character and motivations of the central players. . . . [H]is depiction of the clash of personalities is superb."-- Katherine A. Powers, Washington Post"Markel's engrossing book makes a convincing case that Franklin deserves much more recognition; science lovers and laypeople alike will be drawn in by this compelling story."-- Michael Schaub, NPR"A cinematic account of toxic masculinity among 1950s DNA researchers. . . . [Rosalind Franklin] probably would have hated being the heroine of a movie, but we're fortunate to have books such as this to put her back in the picture."-- Katy Guest, The Guardian"[Markel is the] author of nonfiction books that roll along like novels. . . . That flair of fun wit helps define the tone of The Secret of Life."-- Kevin Berger, Nautilus"Howard Markel's brilliant book examining the discovery of DNA is a 'must read' for biologists and historians. But this is also a book for every reader; it brings to life the discovery of life itself. From Watson, Crick, and Franklin to the dozens of characters that Markel includes, The Secret of Life covers vast and important ground. . . . An indispensable work."-- Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene Number of Pages: 368 Dimensions: 1.02 x 9.19 x 6.3 IN Illustrated: Yes Publication Date: June 11, 2024
