"Responsible physical sourcing is not book burning," ISBNdb's site in a section about why it's crucial to recycle the destroyed books. "It is the completion of a book's lifecycle: from tree to knowledge to tree again."

Text reads: The two sick crew members were evacuated on Wednesday, along with—out of an abundance of caution—the traveling companion of the female passenger who died aboard last week. In the meantime, no one else has come to Kornfeld with concerning symptoms, he told me. Overall, the mood aboard has remained relatively optimistic, the passengers I spoke with said: Many people are still (carefully) participating in morning outdoor exercise classes, and in the afternoons, Kornfeld still spots a bit of dancing around the deck as people enjoy their drinks. And they’ve shown up in whatever ways they can for one another. Even as crew members ailed, their colleagues passed them words of encouragement through their closed cabin doors; when they were medically evacuated, passengers signed get-well cards.

Screenshot of article which reads: I was curious if she noticed people coming to the store for different kinds of books. What are people reading under occupation? Are Minnesotans reaching for political theory for inspiration? History, to search for echos? Poetry, as a balm? “I don’t know if people are buying differently necessarily,” she wondered, then added, “I mean, Heated Rivalry. There’s a lot of that, you know.” We laughed. “A copy of Heated Rivalry and a free whistle,” she said, “that’s the revolution there.”

Cade Metz, NYT reporter says: Well, some people -- like many students at my daugthers' high school -- do find it useful when writing term papers. But, of course, you make a good point. And then there is the ethical question: SHOULD you use it to write term papers? And the question about the future of our children: Will they learn how to write?
