Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The story of how we remember is like a bottomless well. We use our memory to light up the past, first our own, and then ask old people to tell us what they remember. We then look for letters written by people who are already dead.

#2 The history of the world is the story of how everything came to be the way it is today. It all goes back much further than just the mountains and the animals, to when the earth was a swirling cloud of gas and dust.
