   On Google Earth, Nguyen Minh Hai's twenty-year forest looks like an ice cube melting in hot water—a small patch of biodiversity surrounded by endless monoculture.

   Rebecca Solnit once stood in a creek for hours, picking blackberries until her hands were scratched and stained purple, until the quiet had soaked into her.

8. What the Glitter Couldn't Give Me

   When Rudy Karsan sold his company for over a billion dollars, he took a picture of the check, called the banker, and felt nothing. The elation never arrived.

   Ali Akbar, the voice of Paris' 6th arrondissement, is believed to be the last newspaper hawker in Paris. For more than 50 years, he has made the rounds on his secondhand bicycle.
