Barnes and Noble really appreciates the Writers Almanac. I buy 1-2 books a month as a result of your column. And I have to say that the authors represent a very diverse perspective, which is something you could never get from one of those "book clubs" sponsored by Oprah or any other pop culture personality.
Thank you for this. When I was a kid Albert Schweitzer was an elder with lots of white hair and I thought that is who he was his whole life. I couldn’t understand that old people had once been young and took daring risks to become the heroes they were. I really appreciate this short portrait of him and his wife.
What a wonderful woman, Mickey Hahn! Wow!
Thank you for reminding me of what an amazing human being was Albert Schweitzer!
