Book Description
As a young child readies for bed, the sounds of his family echo around him, lulling him to sleep. The beats of cars passing on the street outside and of raindrops falling onto the roof overhead punctuate a rhythm created by the shouts of uncles over a barbeque, the clink of dishes washed by cousins, a grandfather's booming laughter. These sounds come together to create the soundtrack of a child's life. A soundtrack of love. Christopher Myers and Timbaland, stars in their respective fields, collaborate to create a beautiful read-aloud full of music and rhythm.

Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's Ninth Symphony
Author: Lewis Thomas
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0140243283
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
This magnificent collection of essays by scientist and National Book Award-winning writer Lewis Thomas remains startlingly relevant for today’s world. Luminous, witty, and provocative, the essays address such topics as “The Attic of the Brain,” “Falsity and Failure,” “Altruism,” and the effects the federal government’s virtual abandonment of support for basic scientific research will have on medicine and science. Profoundly and powerfully, Thomas questions the folly of nuclear weaponry, showing that the brainpower and money spent on this endeavor are needed much more urgently for the basic science we have abandoned—and that even medicine’s most advanced procedures would be useless or insufficient in the face of the smallest nuclear detonation. And in the title essay, he addresses himself with terrifying poignancy to the question of what it is like to be young in the nuclear age. “If Wordsworth had gone to medical school, he might have produced something very like the essays of Lewis Thomas.”—TIME “No one better exemplifies what modern medicine can be than Lewis Thomas.”—The New York Times Book Review
