Hardback. Condition: Good. A Pitchfork Best Book of 2024 A Saveur Best Narrative Food Book of 2024 In this unique and deeply thoughtful collection, musician Alex Bleeker (Real Estate) and food and travel journalist Luke Pyenson (formerly of Frankie Cosmos) take readers on tour with a diverse lineup of inspiring indie musicians from around the world, sharing meals and travel experiences, peeking behind the curtain at this singular and singularly misunderstood way of life. Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along?food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. Featured contributors include: Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes)  Chris Frantz (Talking Heads)  Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood)  Mark Ibold (Pavement) John Gourley (Portugal. The Man) Lily Chait (touring chef to boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers)  Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso) Greta Kline (Frankie Cosmos)  Devendra Banhart Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü)  Brian "Geologist" Weitz (Animal Collective) Dawn Richard Sasami Ashworth (SASAMI) Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz) The Beths In addition to wide-angle meditations about eating on tour, Pyenson and Bleeker have gathered stories that take place on five continents, in private homes and street-side stalls, in temples of fine dining and in actual temples, backstage and in the van, early morning and late at night. Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. So the question isn?t, ?How was tour?? It?s, ?What do you eat on tour?? Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. "A palaeontological howdunnit.[Spying on Whales] captures the excitement of.seeking answers to deep questions in cetacean science." --Nature   Called "the best of science writing" (Edward O. Wilson) and named a best book by Popular Science, a dive into the secret lives of whales, from their four-legged past to their perilous present. Whales are among the largest, most intelligent, deepest diving species to have ever lived on our planet. They evolved from land-roaming, dog-sized creatures into animals that move like fish, breathe like us, can grow to 300,000 pounds, live 200 years and travel entire ocean basins. Whales fill us with terror, awe, and affection--yet there is still so much we don't know about them. Why did it take whales over 50 million years to evolve to such big sizes, and how do they eat enough to stay that big? How did their ancestors return from land to the sea--and what can their lives tell us about evolution as a whole? Importantly, in the sweepstakes of human-driven habitat and climate change, will whales survive? Nick Pyenson's research has given us the answers to some of our biggest questions about whales. He takes us deep inside the Smithsonian's unparalleled fossil collections, to frigid Antarctic waters, and to the arid desert in Chile, where scientists race against time to document the largest fossil whale site ever found. Full of rich storytelling and scientific discovery, Spying on Whales spans the ancient past to an uncertain future--all to better understand the most enigmatic creatures on Earth.…
