Myfavorite read in 2023…I believe that science is our best hope for the future. Yet, anti-science attitudes are on the rise. This book fights back against such harmful views. Peter Hotez shows that over 200,000 Americans have died because of COVID-19 vaccine resistance. This is not merely his opinion. He proves it using a few public health statistics and some arithmetic. This is a book everyone should read. The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines is a human triumph.

Volunteers should be outgoing to provide friendly customer service, be able to perform tasks as needed and must provide proof of COVID Vaccination prior to volunteering.

Register for this exciting celebration of Amherst’s literary legacy and life.  Alexis Misko’s health has improved enough that, once a month, she can leave her house for a few hours. First, she needs to build up her energy by lying in a dark room for the better part of two days, doing little more than listening to audiobooks.

For many people, schooling killed interest in reading, and this can be especially true for nonfiction. Dry and didactic books don’t strike many people as a fun time. Maybe you also needed help getting started with fiction, and that’s fine, too. But I’m glad you’re here, looking to jump into nonfiction.
