Histoire
Comet begins with a breathtaking journey through space astride a comet. Pulitzer Prize-winning astronomer Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos and Contact, and writer Ann Druyan explore the origin, nature, and future of comets, and the exotic myths and portents attached to them. The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark.
Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet?

Histoire
Civilization was born 8,000 years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place. In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE. Bringing the people of this land to life in vibrant detail, the author chronicles the rise and fall of power during this period.

Histoire
One night, while lying in bed next to her husband, Claire Devon suddenly hears a low hum. This innocuous sound, which no one else in the house can hear, has no obvious source or medical cause, but it begins to upset the balance of Claire’s life. When she discovers that one of her students can also hear the hum, the two strike up an unlikely and intimate friendship. Finding themselves increasingly isolated from their families and colleagues, they fall in with a disparate group of people who also perceive the sound.

The day Anna McDonald's quiet, respectable life explodes starts off like all the days before: Packing up the kids for school, making breakfast, listening to yet another true crime podcast. Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone. Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast. Other people's problems are much better than one's own - a sunken yacht, a murdered family, a hint of international conspiracy. But this case actually is Anna's problem. She knows one of the victims from an earlier life.

After a few billion years of bearing witness to life on Earth, of watching one hundred billion humans go about their day-to-day lives, of feeling unbelievably lonely, and of hearing its own story told by others, The Milky Way would like a chance to speak for itself. All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other.

Description
Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2019
A monumental novel about reimagining our place in the living world, by one of our most "prodigiously talented" novelists (New York Times Book Review).
The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late 20th-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
An air force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another.
These and five other strangers, each summoned in different ways by trees, are brought together in a last and violent stand to save the continent's few remaining acres of virgin forest. There is a world alongside ours - vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

Profoundly remarkable storytelling necessary for our time
This book weaves together some of the most thoroughly succinct metaphors for the ways in which life currently exists in the world today. It is impossible to come away from this story without some sort of new revelations upon the significance of humans’ place in the scope of life. One of the best writers date, heightened by the wonderful telling performed by Suzanne Toren. Can’t recommend it enough! Thank you.

This book may change your heart
A beautiful story that may change your heart and mind in many ways. It can put things into a perspective you may have never considered. I think those that leave reviews saying it’s ‘boring’ or ‘tedious’ are just not in the right place in their life for this book. This book is as magnificent as the tree it is made from. When I walk through the forest from here on I will see everything so differently. Thank you for this work of beauty Richard Powers.

Important perspectives
Richard Powers has written a good and important story, saying many things that need to be said. You should read it. I look forward to reading the author’s next book, which may say similar things in a more concise way that my busy friends might be able to read. A minor point: I would have preferred a reader with less tension in her voice for the audiobook. As a biologist, this story weaves together many of the thoughts I have had while learning about the co-evolutionary history of the tree of life, and learning of the harm that humanity is doing to the atmosphere, the oceans, the soils, and all that life depends upon. It is a great shame that, though humans are the only creature capable of foresight, of seeing that we are charging toward a cliff, this current dominant culture seems incapable of restraint or even shifting direction. Despite all our human abilities, we behave like bacteria, doubling their numbers in a test tube, using all available resources until reaching the inevitable carrying capacity, overshoot and crash. It is a terrible shame that we appear poised to end the age of mammals and take with us the miracles of tigers, whales, bears, wolves, antelope, and other primates. Will some bird, some rats, some cockroaches and mushrooms survive to launch the next evolutionary explosion? Or is this it, and Earth will spiral towards the climate of Venus, incompatible to life? Or could a good story revive the wisdom of other cultures, the knowledge of how to live in balance, of how to take less? Or might a harsher pandemic reduce human numbers back to sustainable levels before the climate hits a tipping point? The world is so beautiful, even now, even as we have experienced the first heat dome and it appears we are over the edge. It is hard to watch the fall, to know that such great change and loss is my and my children’s future. Even now my human brain seeks denial of climate and environmental limitations and hopes that just maybe we will discover another continent or two so we can carry on living as kings, despite what I know of trends and science. We have choices we can still make. Each choice to limit our personal environmental footprint gives a greater wedge of possibility for future life. Could this book help shift our culture? Or is culture so fragmented by self-reinforcing eco chambers that those who most need this message will never hear it?

Astonishing knowledge of trees
Complex storyline in which the author shares their astonishing knowledge about trees, and somehow connects them into our characters’ every day lives.
The author challenges humanity to face our impending doom with eyes wide open.
There is no respite from the awareness that humanity is in the early stages of self-induced annihilation.
I intend to buy a print copy so that I can re-read and better absorb the information.

A life-changing read
This is perhaps the best - and most spiritual (in a non-religious way) - book I've ever "read" and the narration is exquisite, generously enhancing the story's telling. Initially, I thought I had gotten into a rather copious tome of short stories, a genre of literature to which I normally am not drawn. However, the skillful development of the disparate characters in the first part of the novel (Roots), was both intriguing and engaging, leading to the intertwining of lives in the "Trunk" section. By then, I was hooked and continuously champing at the bit to get back to listening. I have always loved trees, but through The Overstory, I was awakened to a complexity of life that had never occurred to me, despite having a long-held philosophical/spiritual belief in the "oneness" of life. This novel has significantly increased my engagement with the forests along the trails I walk on a daily basis. I must emphasize that it is not a textbook, nor is it "preachy. It is simply a darn good story - rich in character, plot and imagery. I am grateful to have been directed to this book by a friend who had selected it for our book club discussion in September. I think every human being should read it.

Beautiful, intelligent, and touching
This is a great listen. The writing is beautiful, touching, and intelligent. The performance is very good, Suzanne Toren succeeds in giving each character their own voice, without overdoing it to the degree of annoyance. The story is an important one for our times, and it is written in such a way as to not be overly moralistic or dramatic.

I was gifted the book, it was dense and in small print, so quite delighted to find I could read and listen along. The Narrator was ASTOUNDING, I wish I could give more than 5 stars for her reading.
I can see why it won a Pulitzer - by page 300 I thought it was a work of genius, but by page 500 I just wanted to finish it. It is a sweeping work of activism and resistance that explores the natural world and the interconnectedness of all living things. At the end of which there are some great takeaways that I will be pondering for a long while
Glad I read it. Off to read Professor Simard's book next, since apparently she was the basis for the Professor in this novel.
