Synopsis
Explore the curious links between mind, body, and culture in a riveting set of essays that mix science, humor, and sharp observation. This collection examines how habits from sleep to storytelling shape our thinking, with a witty, thoughtful voice that makes complex ideas feel clear and engaging.
In these pages, the author turns a keen eye on topics from the ancient physics of the vertical to the modern tug of magazines, pulp, and publishing. You’ll read reflections on insomnia, evolution, and how we think when we lie awake; alongside essays on how print and the pulpit now shape belief, and how gift books and literary trends mirror our shifting tastes.
- Insights into why we think and feel differently when we’re horizontal versus upright
- Observations on editors, rejection, and the evolving language of publishing
- Thoughtful takes on the role of print in religion, philosophy, and daily conduct
- A mix of humor, history, and practical commentary drawn from cultural life
Ideal for readers of essays that blend science, culture, and literary wit, offering fresh angles on everyday mysteries and publishing life.
