The Quest is a book- a tour de force, really-that evaluates the alternatives to oil so broadly and deeply that the physical tome could double as a doorstop. Epic in scope and never more timely, The Quest vividly reveals the decisions, technologies, and individuals that are shaping our future. He explains how climate change became a great issue and leads readers through the rebirth of renewable energies, energy independence, and the return of the electric car. The Quest tells the inside stories, tackles the tough questions, and reveals surprising insights about coal, electricity, and natural gas. In The Quest, Yergin shows us how energy is an engine of global political and economic change and conflict, in a story that spans the energies on which our civilization has been built and the new energies that are competing to replace them. This long-awaited successor to Daniel Yergin's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Prize provides an essential, overarching narrative of global energy, the principal engine of geopolitical and economic change A master storyteller as well as a leading energy expert, Daniel Yergin continues the riveting story begun in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Prize. And the underlying morale of the four stories is basically highly conservative in my opinion. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?ĭespite a tantalizing premise the execution of time travel with ever added on new rules is sloppy. In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.īut the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. What would you change if you could go back in time? Cover Me is also crammed with rare photos, and obscure trivia, that had us turning the pages non-stop. Made up of 19 individual chapters, each detailing one particular song, the book is chock full of detailed analysis and little known facts. The book, Cover Me, is 240 pages of in-depth research on some of the greatest, and some of the most obscure cover songs ever to be recorded. Music is Padgett’s life, and writing about it, his life’s blood. Padgett is also a senior music publicist for Shore Fire Media, representing clients that include Ben Harper, and Lana Del Rey. If you think he just sits around all day listening to and researching covers, you’d be wrong. Ten years ago, he founded the blog, Cover Me, which has become the largest, most popular blog on the subject. Padgett is an expert in this particular field. The new book, Cover Me: The Stories Behind the Greatest Cover Songs of All Time, by Ray Padgett, takes an in-depth look at some unforgettable music. The fact is, without cover songs, some of the greatest songs ever written, may well have since been forgotten. In our experience, most of those people are the ones who have heard local bands play “Mustang Sally,” or “Sweet Home Alabama,” one too many times. Some people hate the very thought of them. Ward notices that the groundwater has taken on an oily sheen and tests it. Nathan and Lavinia later witness strange phenomena around the meteor, until it suddenly disappears.
