ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:THE WASHINGTON POST - TIME MAGAZINE - NPR - ESQUIRE - VOX - THE A.V. CLUB - THE GUARDIAN - FINANCIAL TIMES - THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS "Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a collection of short stories that will make you think, grapple with big questions, and feel more human. The best kind of science fiction." --Barack Obama, via Facebook "THE UNIVERSE BEGAN AS AN ENORMOUS BREATH BEING HELD."
In these nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories, Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity's oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and second chances. In "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications that are literally universal. In "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom," the ability to glimpse into alternate universes necessitates a radically new examination of the concepts of choice and free will. Including stories being published for the first time as well as some of his rare and classic uncollected work, Exhalation is Ted Chiang at his best: profound, sympathetic--revelatory.

Valuable little book
Format: Paperback
LOVE these almanacs! I purchase one every year for the weather forecasts which are eerily accurate, the hair trimming moon phases, & the planting times. Worth every dime!

Where Knowledge Creates Wisdom
Format: Paperback
A must-read for anyone seeking the title of King/Queen of Minutae. Weather predictions are typically, freakishly spot-on. There is simply a wealth of information in here that you are better off knowing, or will at least make you popular on trivia night. There are some quality vendors that you don't see online advertising in here too. The only drawbacks are the snowfall total in Florida challenging Central Oregon this winter, and the increase in price over last year. Tariffs on paper?

Good quality book.
Format: Paperback
Bought these because I bought one for my grandmother every year for Christmas. It is good quality, but I have only opened it one time. I got it for sentimental reasons.
