American Dialogue: The Founders and Us

ISBN: 9780385353427
Published: Knopf - October 16th, 2018

Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph J. Ellis returns with the perfectly formatted book on history and political discourse. What if we could ask the founding fathers their thoughts on our contemporary conflicts? Would we listen? Do their original words still speak to us? Were they hypocritical? Ellis takes on the premise of showcasing a founder’s writings against current global and national crisis. This is what history can do: it can pull the past and the present toward each other to make sense of what may feel impossible to understand. - Tyler Heath

Published: Anansi International - October 2nd, 2018

In 2007, when a new edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary — widely used in schools around the world — was published, some forty common words concerning nature were dropped. Apparently they were no longer being used enough by children to merit their place in the dictionary. The list of these “lost words” included acorn, adder, bluebell, dandelion, fern, heron, kingfisher, newt, otter, and willow. Among the words taking their place were attachment, blog, broadband, bullet-point, cut-and-paste, and voice-mail--a powerful sign of the growing gulf between childhood and the natural world. Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris conjure back twenty of these lost words, and the beings they name, from acorn to wren. By the magic of word and paint, they summon these words again into the voices, stories, and dreams of children and adults alike, celebrating the wonder and importance of everyday nature. - Lori Feathers
