Ocean of Clouds: Poems: Poems
NAMED AN ESSENTIAL READ OF THE YEAR BY THE New Yorker - In his fourth book of poems, award-winning poet Garrett Hongo sees coastlines and waters, skylines and ancestral lines for what they inspire and teach. In a surpassingly beautiful collection of poems, with his characteristic long-lined, rolling music, Hongo is alert to the possibilities of individual moments of perception and grace in the landscapes of his life, whether waiting for a ferry in Balboa after a writing workshop ("An oil slick from a yacht . . . / Spread rainbows on the water, an aleph / curving toward us") or hanging out and playing LPs with the late, great poet Michael Harper, or watching his daughter in the sun with a halo of messy twelve-year-old's hair, or listening to the sea, which speaks to him in so many places: at the Wai'ōpae Tidepools, at Cassis, at Divi Bay in Saint Martin, where, he tells us, "I thought of writing to the soul of Nâzim Hikmet, / saying loving a woman was like writing a book-- / . . . it is love's body on which you write a page of kisses . . ." These poems of cloudy moons and sandstone cliffsides, the black glass of lava shattered into sands, waves surging, and stories of a poet's gratitude for the journey he has made, come together to make a paean against forgetting.

Of Mice and Men
A controversial tale of friendship and tragedy during the Great Depression"A thriller, a gripping tale . . . that you will not set down until it is finished. Steinbeck has touched the quick." --The New York Times John Steinbeck's classic novella follows an unlikely pair: George is "small and quick and dark of face"; Lennie, a man of tremendous size, has the mind of a young child. Yet together they have formed a family, clinging to each other in the face of loneliness, and alienation, and hardship. Laborers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. When they land jobs on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfillment of their dream seems to be within their grasp. But even George cannot guard Lennie from the provocations of a flirtatious woman, nor predict the consequences of Lennie's unswerving obedience to the things George taught him.

On the Origin of Species
These pages include the final edition of Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work that introduced the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. First published in 1859, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species introduced the scientific theory of evolution by means of natural selection, a revolutionary idea at the time. Fiercely debated on its release, Darwin's famous work was revised several times over the following decade, partly to refute the scientific and religious objections of the author's contemporaries. In this sixth edition of On the Origin of Species, Darwin lays out his theory by citing his studies done in the Galápagos aboard the HMS Beagle in the 1830s, as well as his follow-up research over the ensuing two decades.
