When their hidey-hole suddenly seems too small, a brotherhood of hamsters blindly brave the dangers of crossing a junkyard to find a new "place to call home."
As hilarious as it is adorable, A Place to Call Home's comic strip-style artwork and dialogue pack a lot of action and laughs into 32 pages. (And the last page is breathtaking!) For maximum effect: While reading this book, in the background, play "Theme of Exodus," or "Somewhere" from West Side Story.

In Human, Michael Gazzaniga explores the evolutionary trail and looks to a wide range of studies to try and pinpoint the change that made us thinking, sentient humans, different from our predecessors. Among studies include the genetic similarities and differences of human brains compared to the brains of other animals, and identifying the importance of language and art in defining the human condition.
