Savoring Life in the Latter Lanes 3 Edith Andersen

Andersen's third book of essays opens with Lean Into the Discomfort. Those moments when we have misjudged or face embarrassment and we have to look deep into ourselves. It closes with An Apple a Day, research by the University of Michigan School of Nursing that found the proverbial "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" is not quite so. As in her two previous books, between the first and last chapters are 44 essays about women, nutrition, history, nature, technology and more. Andersen's essays move and entertain. They show you people, plants, and politics in a different light. She wants you to question what you think you know. An essay collection is what you reach for when you don't want to delve into something long or involved. It's for those times when you are stuck in a reading rut, can't find a book to your liking. Savoring Life in the Latter Lanes 3 examines subjects you may not have thought about for a long time or ever.
