Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Books

Books are one of the foundational tools of civilization. They allow us to pass knowledge and information between people who don’t know each other, and their compact form allows knowledge to be transported across vast distances. 

Their permanence allows information to be sent across time such that centuries might separate a writer from a reader. 

But how did books develop, and in the modern world, is a book still a book if it's purely digital? 

Learn more about books, where they came from, and how they’ve changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Mango Tree’ is a memoir about growing up mixed-race Filipina in south Florida

The Mango Tree kicks off with a phone call: Journalist Annabelle Tometich is informed her mom has been arrested for shooting a man, with a BB gun, who was trying to take mangoes from her yard. What follows is a memoir about a rich but turbulent upbringing in a half-white, half-Filipino family in Fort Myers, Florida. In today's episode, NPR's Scott Simon asks Tometich about the moment she realized the violence in her household wasn't normal, and what that mango tree represented for her immigrant mother.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Ninjas (Encore)

Ninjas are awesome. They’re silent, they can turn invisible, and they can totally flip out and kill people, especially their mortal enemies…pirates. 

…or at least that is what popular culture would like you to believe. 

Were ninjas really as powerful as they are made out to be? Were they the ultimate silent assassins?

Learn more about ninjas, real ninjas, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
