Story
Hertell Daggett has just discovered a time capsule. Only this one is full of people, and they've been living beneath his pet cemetery since 1963 due to some bad information they got about the end of the world. Hertell leads the duck-and-cover civilization into the glorious, mystifying, and often dismaying modern world. What could possibly go wrong?

Story
Nothing in the universe is more complex than life. Throughout the skies, in oceans, and across lands, life is endlessly on the move. In its myriad forms—from cells to human beings, social structures, and ecosystems—life is open-ended, evolving, unpredictable, yet adaptive and self-sustaining. Complexity theory addresses the mysteries that animate science, philosophy, and metaphysics: how this teeming array of existence, from the infinitesimal to the infinite, is in fact a seamless living whole and what our place, as conscious beings, is within it.

Story
The Fifties is a sweeping social, political, economic, and cultural history of the 10 years that Halberstam regards as seminal in determining what our nation is today. Halberstam offers portraits of not only the titans of the age: Eisenhower, Dulles, Oppenheimer, MacArthur, Hoover, and Nixon; but also of Harley Earl, who put fins on cars; Dick and Mac McDonald and Ray Kroc, who mass-produced the American hamburger; Kemmons Wilson, who placed his Holiday Inns along the nation's roadsides; and more.

Publisher's Summary
The Moron at the End of This Book is an insightful, self-scrutinizing memoir about the highs and woes of a life, perhaps not well-lived, but, well, lived. With a collection of short stories and love letters to the living and the dead, author Andrew Couch calls upon nearly 40 years of impulsive actions, unusual friendships, odd jobs, and a careworn moral compass to deliver a mercifully one of a kind account of a man in search of approval from his child self.
In "First Communion Blues", the glory of virtue and faith collide with the agony of excess and innocence.
Take an engaging and darkly humorous journey through questionable but entertaining choices connecting near-death-by-karate-belt to slap-dash psycho-analysis in "Hang On, Diagnosis!"
Get a behind-the-retail-counter glimpse into the world of fanatical but sweet post-mortem Elvis worship in "Graceland".
In "Ain’t No Heroes Here", we learn why drugs might be bad for people.
In "Curiosity Killed the Cake", we learn why drugs might be bad for coconut cake and good sex.
And, of course, no good memoir would be complete without mention of the coming-of-age, poorly handled bodily functions revealed in "Of Course, I Give a Shit".
“Moron may be my native tongue, but to be useful is my love language. I’ve pursued my weird interests and developed various skills for that purpose—to be useful. I’m the kind of guy you can trust to be on time while ensuring you maintain a sense of moral and intellectual superiority. You know, like a dog or a child of average intelligence.” (Andrew Couch)
