The Honey Bus
An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature’s most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee. Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. She was five years old, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May, and in that moment she discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees. May turned to her grandfather and the art of beekeeping as an escape from her troubled...
Summary of Meredith May's The Honey Bus
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I learned to keep my back to the wall and my eyes on my mother at all times. She was constantly angry, and would sometimes throw things at my father to get his attention. #2 I wished I could go back in time and fix my parents’ marriage. I imagined they had been happy, but their marriage was already curdling. Their disagreements had multiplied and spread like a cancer, until they had trapped themselves inside one big argument. #3 I understood that something significant was shifting in my parents’ marriage, and I tried to make sense of it by eavesdropping on their conversations. #4 I learned that men are disappointing. They promise you the moon, but don’t bring home enough money for groceries. I overheard my mom say that dad might lose his job because his boss was doing something called downsizing.

I, Who Did Not Die
Khorramshahr, Iran, May 1982—It was the bloodiest battle of one of the most brutal wars of the twentieth century, and Najah, a twenty-nine-year-old wounded Iraqi conscript, was face to face with a thirteen-year-old Iranian child soldier who was ordered to kill him. Instead, the boy committed an astonishing act of mercy. It was an act that decades later would save his own life. This is a remarkable story. It is gut-wrenching, essential, and astonishing. It’s a war story. A love story. A page-turner of vast moral dimensions. An eloquent and haunting act of witness to horrors beyond grimmest fiction, and a thing of towering beauty. More importantly, it is a story that must be told, and a ri...

Artificial Unintelligence
A guide to understanding the inner workings and outer limits of technology and why we should never assume that computers always get it right. In Artificial Unintelligence, Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally—hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners—that we have stopped demanding that our technology actually work. Broussard, a software developer and journalist, reminds us that there are fundamental limits to what we can (and should) do with technology. With this book, she offers a guid...
