Far more than a report from the field, CHANCE IN THE HOUSE OF FATE offers an encompassing vision of what these unities mean for our everyday lives. Ackerman's remarkable skills of description lend wonder and awe to the striking connections between our microcosmic makeup and the macrocosm of the visible world. Her voice is rich in imagery and poetry, vivid and deeply personal. Pregnant with her first child, she anxiously calculates the odds that her baby will inherit the gene that caused her younger sister's profound retardation. Illuminating the science of cell growth, she describes the heartbreaking cancer that claimed her mother's life. Carrying her daughter on her hip at the crack of dawn to observe the millennial orbit of a comet, she contemplates the universal circadian rhythms that measure the passing of time.
"This is the alchemy of art with solid science -- the real thing," said Edward Hoagland in praising Jennifer Ackerman's NOTES FROM THE SHORE. Her new book is a magnificent addition to both science and literature.]]> 161774 3.51 267 93 2001 3605411 0689317417 9780689317415 0 <![CDATA[This Old House]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3605411.This_Old_House 0.0 0 161774 3.51 267 93 1992 3201431 068931583X 9780689315831 0 <![CDATA[Leaves in October, The]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3201431.Leaves_in_October_The 0.0 0 161774 3.51 267 93 1991 4755439 081392233X 9780813922331 0 <![CDATA[Shorewords: A Collection of American Women's Coastal Writings]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4755439.Shorewords_A_Collection_of_American_Women_s_Coastal_Writings 0.0 0 Edna St. Vincent Millay¹s ³Low Tide,² E.
