  Nell Greenfieldboyce

  In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. 
   
   
   
  Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children's anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. 
   
   
   
  A beautiful blend of explanatory science, original reporting, and personal experience, Transient and Strange captures the ache of ordinary life, offering resonant insights into both the world around us and the worlds within us. 
   
   
   
  Two bonus stories, "Santa" and "Paperclips," are featured at the end of the audiobook.

  The Inuit (consisting of Alaskan Iupiat, Greenlandic Inuit, and Canadian Inuit) and the Yupik (or Yuit) of eastern Siberia and Alaska are described as Eskimo or Eskimos. The Aleut, who live on the Aleutian Islands, are a comparable 3rd group that's usually omitted from the categorization of Eskimo. The 3 groups have a current typical forefather and speak Eskimo-- Aleut languages, which relate. 
  The development of Europeans marks the start of Alaskan Indians' contemporary history. Russians cruising from Siberia in the eighteenth century were the first to make contact, which was uncommon for The USA and Canada. Traders from the east, mainly from The U.S.A. and Canada's eastern towns, didn't come in the area till the 19th century. Christian missionaries were not active in Alaska till the 20th century in some circumstances. 
  In this book, you will learn more about Eskmos, the Aleut people, and much, much more.
