![]() ![]() ![]() The compositions, which include period detail and accessible illustrated renditions of Franklin's documented projects and inventions, match the chipper tone of the text. But the author devotes a significant portion of the book to Franklin's curiosity about electricity (which he believed to be found in lightning) and its potential to cause devastating fires, including the story behind Franklin's famous experiment of flying a kite with a key on its string during a thunderstorm. ![]() The artwork, a combination of vibrantly colored dyes and ink line, depicts an ebullient Franklin smiling, with his hair flying, as he flits from one role to the next. From there the author summarizes, in a succinct and zippy style, many of Franklin's achievements as inventor, statesman, author, entrepreneur, activist, community leader and musician-a Renaissance man of boundless energy ("Didn't the man ever stop to rest?" she wonders). The statement "It's true!" begins the exhilarating ride. Here she gives appropriate spark to a picture-book overview of Benjamin Franklin's various inventions and scientific experiments, zeroing in on his discovery of lightning's electric power. As with her How We Crossed the West: The Adventures of Lewis and Clark, Schanzer's lively writing and drawing style again makes history come alive. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A year later, during a routine voyage, Matt meets this man’s granddaughter, Kate, who is determined to find what her grandfather saw.

In 1963, four years before his first album, a promising young poet named Leonard Cohen released his debut novel, “The Favorite Game.” Jack McClelland, the Canadian publisher who’d enthusiastically issued Cohen’s second poetry collection, “The Spice-Box of Earth,” initially declined to put out the evocative yet disorderly bildungsroman he felt it was marred by the egotism of a “first novel.” Cohen responded that the book was actually “a third novel disguised as a first” though he hadn’t published them, by then he had already begun “Famous Havana Diary,” which he would never finish, and completed “A Ballet of Lepers,” which he once said was “probably a better novel” than “The Favorite Game.” But despite Cohen’s best efforts, it never appeared during his lifetime. ![]() A BALLET OF LEPERS: A Novel and Stories, by Leonard Cohen ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She maintains that "human" universalism, as used by climate scientists, infers objectivity that belies inequality among humans. ![]() Beyond the impact of climate change, Nagel reveals the gendered bias of the military-science complex and climate change science, a male-dominated field from the developed world. ![]() The author provides powerful evidence of relative gender vulnerability to sea level rise in extreme weather events and droughts-such as melting sea ice and changing coastlines.
