In-depth with deep dives

July 30th, 2022 · No Comments · Books, City Library, Main Branch, West Branch

Learn more than you ever thought possible about a single, tiny topic with these books. Each one is a deep dive into something so specific you’ll wonder how an entire book could be written about it – but even the driest topic has something utterly wild below the surface. The natural history of eels wouldn’t be complete without mention of Sigmund Freud’s fruitless years searching for a male eel.  The creation of the Oxford English Dictionary involves a murder. A theft of bird skins from a museum leads right to a black market trade for fly fishing, of all things. Olive oil importation connects to the mafia. Whatever the topic, dive in to one of these deep dives and find out what’s beyond the tip of the iceberg!
