    In this debut essay collection, Laura Marris reframes environmental degradation by setting aside the conventional,catastrophic framework of the Anthropocene in favor of that of the Eremocene, the age of loneliness,marked by the dramatic thinning of wildlife populations and by isolation between and among species. Sheasks: how do we add to archives of ecological memory? How can we notice and document what's missing inthe landscapes closest to us?Filled with equal parts alienation and wonder, each essay immerses readers in a different strange landscape ofthe Eremocene. Among them are the Buffalo airport with its snowy owls and the purgatories of commuter flights,layovers, and long-distance relationships; a life-size model city built solely for self-driving cars; the coasts ofNew England and the ever-evolving relationship between humans and horseshoe crabs; and the Connecticutwoods Marris revisits for the first time after her father’s death, where she participates in the annual ChristmasBird Count and encounters presence and absence in turn.Vivid, keenly observed, and driven by a lively and lyrical voice, The Age of Loneliness is a moving examination ofthe dangers of loneliness, the surprising histories of ecological loss, and the ways that community sciencewhichrelies on the embodied evidence of “ground truth”can help us recognize, and maybe even recover, what we’velearned to live without

    The Battle of Life

    Charles Dickens

    The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, 1st published in 1846. It's the 4th of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth, followed by The Haunted Man & the Ghost's Bargain. 
    The setting is an English village that stands on the site of a historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title. 
    Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. (One scene takes place at Christmas time, but it isn't the final scene.) The story bears some resemblance to The Cricket on the Hearth in two aspects: it has a non-urban setting & it's resolved with a romantic twist. It's even less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one. 
    It's one of Dickens' lesser-known works & has never attained any high level of popularity, a trait it shares among the Christmas Books with The Haunted Man.

    Henry Bibb

    Henry Walton Bibb was born a slave. His father was white although his identity was not positively known. Bibb was separated from his mother at a very young age and hired out to other slave owners for most of his childhood. Always yearning for his freedom, he made his first escape from slavery in 1842. He was recaptured and escaped, recaptured and escaped over and over; but he never gave up on his desire to be a man in control of his own destiny.Bibb eventually escaped the bondage of servitude for good and dedicated his life to speaking out against the institution of slavery. In the process he helped others obtain their freedom. He published Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Henry Bibb, and American Slave in 1849 telling the story of his daily life as a slave, as a runaway and as a free man. He also illustrated the depravity of that “man-destroying system” and the “idea of utter helplessness in perpetual bondage.”Bibb stated in his Author's Preface that there were other very popular slave narratives published before his own; nevertheless, the uniqueness of his story is in the details of his experiences which, like the others, shine a glaringly truthful beam of light on the sins of this nation. Ultimately Bibb made his way to Canada where in 1851 he published the first black newspaper of that Country, Voice of the Fugitive. He died in 1854 at the age of 39.  (Introduction by James K. White)

    As humans, we often wonder about our heroes’ (and, perhaps, our enemies’) opinions on the most assorted of topics. Mark Twain’s speech “Cigars and Tobacco” serves to satiate such curiosities. In it, he details his storied history with those two substances and his search for the “worst cigar in the New York Market.” It’s a brief treat for anyone who’s ever wondered about Twain’s tobacco consumption, or simply wants to read some miscellaneous wit from this literary master.
