Had my eye on this one for a while. The cover is this wonderful felt which is quite awesome in itself. The book manages to combine some relevant and interesting science behind various minerals and aggregates while keeping the reader involved with the history behind human usage of precious natural materials, including world-famous jewels.

For the last several years, I have been interested in books about:

1. Men and women exonerated [often because of DNA innocence] and released from US prisons, and falsely accused/abused people (false rape accusations against Duke lacrosse players in 2006 or people abused by priests or Jerry Sandusky).
2. Escapees from North Korea, who often make it to South Korea.

A few hours ago, I ordered "The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists" from Amazon. I am on the autism spectrum. But during the last few years, I have realized that part of my personality was also shaped by an overbearing, narcissistic mother. "Why did you do the task that way", "Why did you do the tasks in that order", and "Why did you drive that route to get where you were going" have been asked for the last 35+ years. Despite years of explanations and defense of my actions and decisions, she ALWAYS thinks her way is better; she will never treat me as an equal/adult. Maybe some books will help me heal my life and our relationship.

Have you read 'The Girl With Seven Names', by Hyeonseo Lee? Recently read it a few months ago. One of the North Korean defector stories. A really sad but brave account.
