"a lacerating story of loss and of seeking, written in prose that is charged with emotion but is always held under impeccable control."--kansas city star rabbit, run is the book that established john updike as one of the major american novelists of his--or any other--generation. its hero is harry "rabbit" angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star who on an impulse deserts his wife and son. he is twenty-six years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty--even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness and divine grace. though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path, an invisible line toward his own salvation as straight as a ruler's edge. show more (1)

epic in scope, intimate in detail, heartbreaking in its human drama, this is the first book to recount the history of the nobility caught up the maelstrom of the bolshevik revolution and the creation of stalin's russia. historian douglas smith's former people is a book filled with chilling tales of looted palaces, burning estates, of desperate flights from marauding thugs and red army soldiers, of imprisonment, exile, and execution. it is the story of how a centuries'-old elite famous for its glittering wealth, its service to the tsar and empire, was dispossessed and destroyed along with the rest of old russia. drawing on the private archives of two great families - the sheremetovs and the golitsyns - former people is also a story of survival, of how many of the tsarist ruling class, so-called 'former people' and 'class enemies,' abandoned, displaced, and repressed, overcame the loss of their world and struggled to find a place for themselves and their families in the new, hostile world of the soviet union. it reveals how even at the darkest depths of the terror, daily life went on - men and women fell in love, children were born and educated, friends gathered, simple pleasures were cherished. ultimately, former people is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. show more (1)

human encounters with the natural world are inseparable from the history of travel. nature, as fearsome obstacle, a wonder to behold or a source of therapeutic refuge, is bound up with the story of human mobility. stories of this mobility give readers a sense of the diversity of the natural world, how they might interpret and respond to it and how human preoccupations are a help or a hindrance in maintaining bio-cultural diversity. travel writing has constantly shaped how humans view the environment from foreign adventures to flight-shaming. if much of modern travel writing has been based on ready access to environmentally damaging forms of transport how do travel writers deal with a practice that is destroying the world they claim to cherish? this element explores human travel encounters with the environment over the centuries and asks, what is the future for travel writing in the age of the anthropocene?

in 1916, just thirteen years after the wright brothers' first flight, a group of twenty-eight college students, nearly all of them from yale, decided to try the new sport of motorized flight and formed a campus flying club. the boys had more than fun in mind. believing that america would soon enter the war raging in europe, they wanted to help their woefully unprepared nation (which at the time had an air force smaller than bulgaria's) ready itself for what was sure to be a hard fight. most were just teenagers, but they were also the sons of america's early 20th century aristocracy - one a rockefeller, one whose father headed the union pacific railroad empire, others who traced their roots to the mayflower, several who counted friends and relatives among presidents and statesmen - and all fabulously wealthy. these sons of the elite were schooled in heroism even before their nation called upon them. america was going to go to war: they would lead the way; they knew that it could cost many lives; and that just made it all the more right that they be the first to fly into battle. this is their story. 'vivid descriptions of aerial combat ...but the true pleasure of this book is in his portraits of the six principal players and his elucidation of their deep-rooted sense of patriotic duty and camaraderie' daily telegraph show more (1)
