Arthur Grace, the close friend and photographer who followed Robin Williams since 1986 until his death in 2014, was recently interviewed on CBS. He’s finally culled the thousands of photographs he took and published Robin Williams: A Singular Portrait, 1986-2002.
Unlike virtually every celebrity book of its kind, Grace said that Robin never once stopped him from taking a picture, anytime, any place. There are some candid, poignant and insightful images here that reveal the many sides of this true comic genius.
The Men Who United the States by Simon Winchester
America’s Explorers, Inventors, Eccentrics and Mavericks, and the Creation of One Nation, Indivisible
If you’re interested in American History, The Men Who United The States will help you answer some of these questions:
How did America become “one nation, indivisible”?
What unified a growing number of disparate states into the modern country we recognize today?
It tells the story of the grandeur of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the Lewis & Clark Expedition which followed to uncover the vastness of the North American continent.
Simon Winchester is a great story teller and among other books, wrote on of my favorites, The Professor and the Madman.
