Transient and strange : notes on the science of life / Nell Greenfieldboyce. by Greenfieldboyce, Nell, author. New York, N.Y. : W.W. Norton & Company, [2024] Subjects Greenfieldboyce, Nell.   Science -- Philosophy.   Science -- Moral and ethical aspects.   Science -- Social aspects. ISBN:  9780393882346 (hardcover) : 0393882349 (hardcover) : Description:  x, 214 pages ; 22 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children's anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. Inspired throughout by Walt Whitman's invocation to the "transient and strange," she remains attuned to the wildest workings of our world, reflecting on the incredible leap of the humble flea or the echoing truth of a fetal heartbeat."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 501 Gr Checked out 07/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Greenfieldboyce Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books 501 Gr Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 501 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
