Book Review
“Underland:
A Deep Time Journey”
by Robert Macfarlane
Robert Macfarlane is the
best-selling, award-winning
author of books about the
intersections of the human
and the natural realms. In
“Underland,” he delivers his
masterpiece: an epic explo-
ration of the Earth’s under-
worlds as they exist in myth,
literature, memory, and the
land itself.
In this highly anticipated
sequel to his international
bestseller “The Old Ways,”
Macfarlane takes readers on
an extraordinary journey
into humans’ relationship
with darkness, burial and
what lies beneath the surface
of both place and mind.
Traveling through “deep
time” — the dizzying ex-
panses of geologic time
that stretch away from the
present — he moves from
the birth of the universe to
a post-human future, from
the prehistoric art of Nor-
wegian sea caves to the blue
depths of the Greenland ice
cap, from Bronze Age fu-
neral chambers to the cata-
comb labyrinth below Paris,
and from the underground
fungal networks through
which trees communicate to
a deep-sunk “hiding place”
where nuclear waste will be
stored for 100,000 years to
come.
Woven through Macfar-
lane’s own travels are the
unforgettable stories of de-
scents into the underland
made across history by ex-
plorers, artists, cavers, div-
er, mourners, dreamers and
murderers, all of whom have
been drawn for different rea-
sons to seek what Cormac
McCarthy calls “the awful
darkness within the world.”
Global in its geography
and written with great lyr-
icism and power, “Under-
land” speaks powerfully to
our present moment. At
once ancient and urgent, this
is a book that will change the
way you see the world.
Celebrate Woody
Guthrie’s Birthday
Join Adam Miller this Sun-
day, July 14, at 2 p.m., when

Since 1995, legendary
folksinger, storyteller and
autoharp virtuoso Adam

premier auto harpists in the
world, he has distinguished
himself as a master of
non-fiction storytelling and
as one of the great interpret-
ers of American folksongs.
He is an award-winning
entertainer who never fails
to get his audience singing
along and is that rare per-
former who appeals to audi-
ences of all ages.
Apollo 11 Moon Landing
Anniversary
On Saturday, July 20, at 1
p.m., Jeff Phillips from the
Eugene Astronomical Soci-
ety will be at the library dis-
cussing the Apollo 11 moon
landing, which occurred ex-
actly 50 years ago that day.
“My father was an engi-
neer who worked on the
Jupiter C, the rocket that
launched America’s first
satellite, the Explorer 1, and
America’s first astronaut
Alan Shepard,” Phillips said.
“As a boy, I would sneak a
transistor radio into school
so I could listen to space
launches.”
One of those launches re-
sulted in a moon landing
on July 20, 1969, with Neil
Armstrong setting foot out-
side hours later. Phillips will
discuss the moon landing
and show some clips from
the movie “Apollo 11.”
The Friends of the Library
will be providing refresh-
ments.

OCHC maintains a list
