Summary

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's '90 World Classics You Should Read Before You Die (Vol.2)' serves as a venerable compendium that invites readers into the rich tapestry of global literary heritage. This anthology assimilates a breadth of transformative works, from the psychological intrigue of Stevenson's 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' to the sprawling epic of Tolstoy's 'War and Peace'. Goethe's discerning selection epitomizes the diversity of literary expression, encompassing drama, poetry, and philosophy. Through a blend of seminal and revolutionary narrative architectures, the volume stands as a tribute to the narrative art form, aiming to encapsulate the quintessence of human experience penned across centuries.

A towering figure of the German literary tradition, Goethe himself symbolizes the Enlightenment's apex of intellect and creativity. The author's timeless masterpiece 'Faust' resonates within this collection, indicative of his predilection for exploring the depths of the human condition. The collection, reflective of Goethe's own interdisciplinary erudition, suggests an intent to curate a literary mosaic that navigates through the complexities of love, war, societal critique, and existential contemplation.

'Read before you die' is not merely an injunction but a promise of enrichment. The second volume of '90 World Classics' is paramount for the ardent bibliophile and the casual reader alike, beckoning a journey through the annals of literary genius. Goethe's voluminous anthology assures the reader not just an anthology of texts but a companionship of the world's most insightful minds, encapsulated in narratives that have shaped and mirrored civilizations. It extols literature's enduring power to transcend time, place, and culture.

    Climate science can seem dense, remote, and abstract. But through the lens of this one tree, it becomes immediate and intimate. 
    In Witness Tree, environmental reporter Lynda V. Mapes takes us through her year living with one red oak at the Harvard Forest. We learn about carbon cycles and leaf physiology, but also experience the seasons as people have for centuries, watching for each new bud, and listening for each new bird and frog call in spring. 
    Lynda takes us along as she climbs high into the oak's swaying boughs, and scientists core deep into the oak's heartwood, dig into its roots and probe the teeming life of the soil. She brings us eye-level with garter snakes and newts, and alongside the squirrels and jays devouring the oak's acorns. Season by season she reveals the secrets of trees, how they work, and sustain a vast community of lives, including our own. 
    The oak is a living timeline and witness to climate change. While stark in its implications, Witness Tree is a beautiful and lyrical book, rich in detail, sweeps of weather, history, people, and animals. It is a story rooted in hope, beauty, wonder, and the possibility of renewal in people's connection to nature.
