  • Summer reading recommendations for five books are provided. The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert and Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver both describe changes on our planet that may be due to human activity. Three books deal with words: The Secret Life of Words is an audiobook on the changing English language; Quiet by Susan Cain explores the world of introverts; and Chemical Poems by Mario Markus presents one poem for each element.
