SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:At the Bright Edge of the World\, by Eowyn Ivey \nFrom the best-selling author of The Snow Child\, a thrilling tale of historical adventure set in the Alaskan wilderness. \nIn the winter of 1885\, Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester sets out with his men on an expedition into the newly acquired territory of Alaska. Their objective: to travel up the ferocious Wolverine River\, mapping the interior and gathering information on the region’s potentially dangerous native tribes. With a young and newly pregnant wife at home\, Forrester is anxious to complete the journey with all possible speed and return to her. But once the crew passes beyond the edge of the known world\, there’s no telling what awaits them. \nWith gorgeous descriptions of the Alaskan wilds and a vivid cast of characters – including Forrester; his wife\, Sophie; a mysterious Eyak guide; and a Native American woman who joins the expedition – To the Bright Edge of the World is an epic tale of one of America’s last frontiers\, combining myth\, history\, romance\, and adventure.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Atlas Shrugged\, by Ayn Rand \nAtlas Shrugged is the “second most influential book for Americans today” after the Bible\, according to a joint survey of five thousand people conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club in 1991. \nIn a scrap heap within an abandoned factory\, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized\, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? \nThis is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible\, he sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battle not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? The answers will be revealed once you discover the reason behind the baffling events that wreak havoc on the lives of the amazing men and women in this remarkable book. \nTremendous in scope and breathtaking in its suspense\, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s magnum opus\, which launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957\, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism\, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms. \nWith gorgeous descriptions of the Alaskan wilds and a vivid cast of characters – including Forrester; his wife\, Sophie; a mysterious Eyak guide; and a Native American woman who joins the expedition – To the Bright Edge of the World is an epic tale of one of America’s last frontiers\, combining myth\, history\, romance\, and adventure.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson \nBack in America after twenty years in Britain\, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2\,100-mile Appalachian Trail\, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes—and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson\, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. \nFor a start there’s the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz\, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson’s acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail\, and as he tells its fascinating history\, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America’s last great wilderness. An adventure\, a comedy\, and a celebration\, A Walk in the Woods is a modern classic of travel literature.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:An Immense World\, by Ed Yong \nThe Earth teems with sights and textures\, sounds and vibrations\, smells and tastes\, electric and magnetic fields. But every kind of animal\, including humans\, is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble\, perceiving but a tiny sliver of our immense world. \nIn An Immense World\, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses\, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent\, waves of electromagnetism\, and pulses of pressure that surround us. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires\, turtles that can track the Earth’s magnetic fields\, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages\, and even humans who wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile’s scaly face is as sensitive as a lover’s fingertips\, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales\, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs\, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn what bees see in flowers\, what songbirds hear in their tunes\, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveries in the field\, while looking ahead at the many mysteries that remain unsolved. \nFunny\, rigorous\, and suffused with the joy of discovery\, An Immense World takes us on what Marcel Proust called “the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands\, but to possess other eyes.” \nWINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O.

SUMMARY:#GivingTuesday
DESCRIPTION:The JTEL is participating in #GivingTuesday this year! Posts relating to #GivingTuesday are: \n\nPlease Give and Do Good\nCheck Out A Book\nHistorical Gardens\nLibrary Programs\nCommunity Events\nThe People We Love\nBookshelf Dedications\nOne Week to Go!\nRewards Programs\nOur Capital Campaign\nRuth Jasper Children’s Fund\nBe Happy\nIn-Kind Donations\nMembership\nTime\nOur Endowment\n\nDid you know: \n\n\n\n\n\nPeople who give money to charity are 43 percent more likely than non-givers to say they are “very happy” about their lives. Volunteers are 42 percent more likely to be very happy than non-volunteers. (Source: Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey)\nThe happiness difference between givers and non-givers is not due to differences in personal characteristics\, income or religion. Imagine two people identical in terms of income\, faith\, age\, education\, politics\, gender and family circumstances\, but one is a donor and volunteers and the other doesn’t. The giver will be\, on average\, 11 percentage points more likely to bevery happy than the non-giver. (Source: University of Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics)\n\nLibraries are the ultimate in sharing. Donate to the JTEL\, join our library\, or volunteer with us. Be Happy!
