Few American phenomena are more evocative of time, place, and
culture than the drive-in theater. From its origins in the Great
Depression, through its peak in the 1950s and 1960s and ultimately
its slow demise in the 1980s, the drive-in holds a unique place in
the country's collective past. Michigan's drive-ins were a
reflection of this time and place, ranging from tiny rural 200-car
"ozoners" to sprawling 2,500-car behemoths that were masterpieces
of showmanship, boasting not only movies and food, but playgrounds,
pony rides, merry-go-rounds, and even roving window washers.

Acclaimed photographer David Maitland’s visual exploration of the myriad structures, shapes, and patterns seen in nature. It might appear at first glance that it is the chaos of the natural world that makes its beauty. But all around us are extraordinary examples of geometry which show that nature’s palette is in fact applied with brushstrokes that follow strict laws and principles. The Shape of Nature reveals a wonderland of recurrent structures, shapes, and symmetries and asks how and why these came to be. Curated by form and introduced by essays linking form with function, each chapter examines exquisite examples—from a whale’s bejeweled baleen to a sea cucumber’s anchor-tattooed skin—captured in acclaimed photographer and scientist David Maitland’s lens and words. Where other books consider the math of natural patterns, The Shape of Nature explores their biological origins and significance. Combining sublime photography with an inspiring commentary, this is both a celebration of nature’s unseen masterpieces and a revelation of the principles underpinning their extraordinary creation.
A laugh-out-loud 'best of' selection of TommyInnit's most weird and
wonderful quotes - plus much more - carefully selected to BLOW YOUR
MIND by him and best friend Wilbur Soot. 'Nah, I think I'd be a
pretty bad shark' 'What if God was just legs?' 'We're really just
chilling, fellas' Born sometime in the early 2000s, TommyInnit's
first job was a YouTuber. No, really, we're not joking, the very
first job he had was a YouTuber. For the last three years, he's
been mouthing off on the internet to anyone who will listen. So
far, that's over 40 million followers. Will there ever be an end to
TommyInnit's rampant flurry of success? Probably. And Wilbur Soot
has been right by his side. Wilbur first started his career as a
young man staring at the wall until he also became a YouTuber. He
also discovered a little activity some may call 'singing'. In The
Quote Book, TommyInnit covers a wealth of topics from
cars-that-grow-teeth to slime people, and from things that be crazy
to octopi. Curated and edited by Wilbur Soot, TommyInnit is about
to change your life one word at a time. Unless, dear reader, you
read two words at a time, like he does. Featuring: A day in the
life Inside TommyInnit's brain What TommyInnit would do if he was
God Life advice from Wilbur Love poetry and history lessons,
TommyInnit style Wilbur's attempts to reason with TommyInnit
