Journey to the Center of the Earth
A classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne, this work is one of the most well-known subterranean fictions to this day. It inspired many similar works and adaptations. First published in 1864 in French as Voyage au centre de la Terre, it was quickly translated to English by several different publishers in the 1870s. The current edition was based on the translation by Frederick Amadeus Malleson that was published by Ward Lock & Co Ltd. in 1877.Our protagonist is Axel, whose overcautious and unadventurous spirit contrasts with that of his uncle Professor Otto Lidenbrock, an eccentric professor of geology. When Professor Lidenbrock obtains a mysterious runic-coded note in the manuscript of an Icelandic saga, he is determined to decipher it. Axel inadvertently solves the code and, much to his chagrin, discovers that it is a set of directions left by a sixteenth-century Icelandic alchemist to reach the center of the earth via the volcano Snæfelljökull. Reluctantly, Axel joins his uncle on a trip to Iceland, and with the aid of a local guide, Hans, begins an adventure towards the center of the earth, where they will encounter giant mushrooms and insects, an island with an enormous geyser, and battle pre-historic reptiles. One of Verne's most well-known works, this novel is a testament to Verne's love of geology, science, and cryptography.

Eating on a Mountain at the End of the World
When Zackary Vernon moved to the Appalachian town of Boone, North Carolina, he had a goal: to make more ethical food choices. Soon he was working on an organic farm; volunteering at a pay-what-you-can restaurant; and interviewing a range of people, from fishermen and farmers to biologists and even reality television star Eustace Conway. He found that when he stepped outside the industrial food system, he often ended up in the company of folks on the fringe—people who rejected not only industrial farming methods but also many modern beliefs and conventions that have proven harmful to our food system.Disillusioned by extremist positions on the left and right, such as anarchist fantasies and myopic conservative worldviews, Vernon, like many of us, struggled to be an ethical eater without fully sacrificing pleasure and joy. While there are no easy answers, he invites readers to consider their own responsibilities to both the places they live and the far-off places their lifestyles affect. With dry wit and personal stories, Vernon offers ways for us to fail better as we consider how to eat more ethically in the future.
