Summary

"Mammoth Graveyards" explores the mysteries held within concentrated deposits of mammoth remains, offering insights into the Late Pleistocene extinction event. These graveyards, found across continents, are not random bone accumulations, but rather snapshots of past ecological conditions. The book uniquely focuses on taphonomy, the study of how these fossil sites formed, to accurately reconstruct past environments and the lives of mammoths.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the geographic distribution and geological context of mammoth graveyards. It then evaluates major extinction theories like climate change and human hunting, using paleontological data such as radiocarbon dating and fossil analysis, derived from the graveyards themselves. A key argument is that rigorous scientific analysis of these sites reveals the complex interplay of factors contributing to megafaunal extinctions, highlighting the need to consider multiple interacting elements rather than a single cause.

 
These findings inform current discussions about biodiversity loss and potential future extinctions.

    The Blessed Angela of Foligno, T.O.S.F., (c. 1248 – 4 January 1309) was a Christian author, Franciscan tertiary and mystic. She was noted not only for her spiritual writings, but also for founding a religious community which refused to accept becoming an enclosed religious order that it might continue her vision of caring for those in need. The Divine Consolation is divided into three treatises. In the first, Blessed Angela talks about her conversion. The second is her teachings. And in the third treatise, she shares her visions of Consolation, the Passion of Christ, the Sacrament of the Altar, and of the Blessed Virgin Mary.(Summary by Wikipedia and Ann Boulais)

    Happily Ali After - And Other...

    “Wentworth spins hilarious tales of parenting, relationships and, yes, getting older.” — People 
The actress, comedian, media darling, and New York Times bestselling author picks up where she left off in Ali in Wonderland, dissecting modern life—and this time, on a mission of self-improvement—in a series of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. 
Moved by a particularly inspirational tweet one day, Ali Wentworth resolves to live by the pithy maxims she discovers in her feeds. What begins as a sort of self-help project quickly turns into something far grander—and increasingly funnier—as the tweets she once viewed with irony become filled with increasing metaphysical importance. And thus begins her “Unhappiness Project.” 
It’s not long before Ali expands her self-improvement quest to include parenting, relationship, fitness (or lack thereof), and dieting advice. The results are painfully (at times literally) clear: when it comes to self-help, sometimes you should leave it to the professionals. 
At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and absurd, Happily Ali After is a thoroughly entertaining collection from “the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything” (Huffington Post).
