This theory does lend some insight into what drives us to be sociable. “It’s a necessity that is critical to our ability to succeed and thrive.”ĭenworth foregrounds her argument with British biologist William Hamilton’s theory that those animals that cooperated with relatives - whether close or distant - would have benefited by promoting the survival of genes like their own. “Friendship is not a choice or a luxury,” Denworth asserts. Among the Cayo macaques, biologist Lauren Brent reports, those with the strongest social networks have lower levels of stress hormones - a factor known to buffer against disease. Friendship isn’t just “ the leavening in our lives” it evolved because it has a direct bearing on our mental and physical health. For centuries, Denworth notes in “Friendship: The Evolution, Biology, and Extraordinary Power of Life’s Fundamental Bond,” our desire to make friends “was considered purely cultural, an invention of human society - and modern human society at that.”īut Denworth marshals new evidence that in friendship, as in so many areas, we’re not all that different from our primate forebears.

He rode on to the end of the stage and chose to withdraw. There is a lot of interesting focus on the mental and emotional battles during which Boorman tries to rationalize his failure. The team went out to Dubai to train on the dunes so they'd be used to riding on the sand, but Boorman broke his collar bone early on in the trip, and had to return home ahead of schedule.īoorman's BMWF650RR pictured at the Coventry Transport Museumĭuring the rally, Boorman crashed and broke bones in one hand, and dislocated the thumb in the other when he fell and tried to push his bike up and off his body. They entered the rally riding BMW F650RR rally bikes. A third rider, Matt Hall, was chosen to film their participation and, if necessary, allow his bike to be used for parts if anything happened to Boorman's or Pavey's. Malkin was concerned that Boorman might not finish the rally should he enter alone, so Boorman approached Simon Pavey to see if he was interested in making the documentary and also training him. Having publicly committed to it, Boorman felt he had to do the rally and proposed the idea to Russ Malkin, one of the producers of Long Way Round, who liked the idea. One of Boorman's lifelong dreams had been to enter the Dakar Rally, which he had discussed with the publishers of the Long Way Round book. First aired on Sky Two and ABC Television (Australia) during 2006, it was also released as a book. Race to Dakar is a documentary series following actor and keen motorcyclist Charley Boorman's entry into the 2006 Dakar Rally from Lisbon to Dakar. The fugitives run into a group of three cowboys also seeking their fortune: Cayenne (“Cay”) Pepper, his cousin West, and their friend Pedro, known as Peety. They determine that they will get farther disguised as boys, and soon are heading out on the Oregon Trail to the West, disguised as “Sammy” and “Andy.” Andy is hoping to find her brother Isaac, and Sammy is looking for a friend of her father’s, someone she hopes will help her get started on a new life in California. Sammy must now go on the run from the law, and she is helped by the 16-year-old black slave, Annamae, who had been assigned to attend to Sammy, and who sees this as an opportunity to escape along with Sammy. Sammy, appalled, pushes him away and he falls, hits his head, and dies. He furthermore is determined to “sample the goods” before putting her to work. Her landlord refers her to “his best hotel” which turns out to be a house of prostitution. “Sammy,” as she is known, is bereft and has nowhere to go. While out giving violin lessons, her father is burned out of his store, and dies in the conflagration. The story begins in 1849 in Missouri, where 15-year-old Samantha, a Chinese-American, is having the usual teenage conflicts with her father (whom she loves dearly, but she is, after all, a teenager). This heartwarming story expresses the Chinese principle of yuanfen, which refers to the fate that brings people together to become a family. She graduated from Everett High School in 1944, married for the first time in 1946, and she and husband William managed a successful and growing farm and dairy business, while involved in numerous church and community activities until his death. Judy grew up in Everett in a large household and welcoming home. She was known as “Judy” since elementary school when a teacher continued to mispronounce “Wilda” and her sister, Mildred, gave her the name, “Judy”. Judy was the last surviving sibling of six and she cared deeply for her four sisters and brother: Doris, of Elmira, NY, Phyllis, of Everett, Mildred of West Palm Beach, FL, Shirley of Wycliffe, OH, and George of Wycliffe, OH. She is survived by her sons, Rod Cober and wife Susan, of Cincinnati, OH and Layne Cober, and wife Karen, of Everett three grandchildren: Andrew Cober (Hilary) of Reston, VA, Justin Cober (Nicole), of Arrington, VA, Ben Cober and (Melissa), of Kirkland, WA five great-grandchildren: Ava, Jasper, Nehemiah, Cabot, and Brooks and many caring nieces and nephews.

It begins with WS (as he is called throughout) in his adolescence, delivering gloves for his father as his family deals with declining fortunes. I should begin by saying that I know very little about Shakespeare or Elizabethan England, so Burgess could have gotten away with almost anything - but, to the extent that one can sense historical rightness, this book felt right. I included it on a list of my favorite historical novels, if anyone is curious. On the back of this book is some of the most hilariously faint praise I've ever read: "Of all the books about Shakespeare that 1964 will bring forth, none is likely to make livelier reading than Anthony Burgess's historical novel, Nothing Like the Sun." Well said, Country Life magazine - I might even go farther and assert that of all the books about Shakespeare that I have read this year, this is the best.

She achieves some of her world-building through scenes of pure digital realism in the parlance of that space, Egan reads us for filth. Perhaps this is why in her new novel Egan chooses to revel in the addictive delights of being online-an experience way more fun that any of us will admit. Such are the disappointments of our age, where so much loses its magic IRL. I checked back in with that landlord, and it turns out he was talking about someone else entirely. A small, mundane detail, namely that I found the listing online, would have tied it up in a bow, a plot point coming full circle, waiting for a critic to underline or scribble a note in the margins, something about “the intimacy of strangers in the digital age.” Had I been in the very rooms where the author conceived these pages I was now tasked with evaluating? It was as if I had been transported into one of Egan’s novels my humble apartment search now part of a grand plot testifying to the interconnected fabric of human existence. I hadn’t given it much thought until recently, when I was assigned to review The Candy House, her new novel. Based on various descriptors, I was sure it had to be Jennifer Egan, who had just been teaching at a nearby college. I told him I was a journalist, and he said another writer used to rent this place. I looked into her shower, checked the knobs on her stove, walked the path from the front door to the garage where the washer and dryer were kept.
