It's All Relative: Adventures Up and Down the Worlds Family Tree
Review Whether the author is being ruminative or rollicking, he is consistently thought-provoking in his 'adventure in helping to build the World Family Tree,' and his natural gift for humor lightens the mood of even the most serious discussion. A delightful, easy-to-read, informative book.Kirkus, Starred ReviewWhimsical but also full of solid journalism and eye-opening revelations about the history of humanity, the book is a real treat.Booklist, Starred ReviewIn his latest adventure book, author and experimentalist A.J. Jacobs enthusiastically shares in the human quest for self-knowledge that drives so many of us around the world to search for and find our roots. The astonishing discoveries he makes not only reveal the compelling possibilities of genealogical and genetic research; they remind us of the common bonds that unite us as a single global family. As Jacobss (however distant) cousin, I admit I may be biased in singing his praises, but as Its All Relative proves, who isnt?Henry Louis Gates, Jr.A.J. Jacobs is descended from pretzel vendors,dwarf pony breeders, andpurveyors of bogus hemorrhoid salves, which may or may not explain whyI lovehis books so much. Mostly it's because, like life itself, A.J. is deep and goofy at the same time.It's All Relativeis the funniest, most thoughtful, most original andentertaining book about family that you will everread and wish you'd written.Mary RoachA.J. Jacobs has done it again! Having once lived the Ten Commandments for a year (even going so far as to stone an adulterer with pebbles), his new book,Its All Relative, Adventures Up and Down the Worlds Family Tree, takes us on another unique adventure that pits idealism vs. practicality: Bringing about world peace and harmony by finding cousin connections among people throughout the globe and then hosting a Global Family Reunion. Jacobs again opens up to us his insightful (and hysterically bizarre) thought processes as he plots the end of hate and conflict through one massive first-of- its-kind event.'Scott Fisher, host of Extreme Genes'The Sower', the Simon & Schuster logo, is perfect opening icon for this story about human seed sown by our commonancestors out of Africa and how you andI are related to the Jacobs clan. Like AJ's previous hilarious books, this one involves way-over-the-topperformance art -- this time the mother of all familyreunions, at whichI sang 'We arefamily' (and the rest of you 7.5 billion were expected to sing along). Genealogy is now, deservedly, tied for the top hobby, along with other ancient biotechnologies, gardening and sex. You could have no better guide than ace jovialist and awesome jester, AJ. Now, more than ever, we celebrate our connections, we read, we smile.GeorgeChurch, author ofRegenesisA hilarious read from beginning to end.Adam Grant, New York Timesbestselling author ofGive and Take, Originals, andOption Bwith Sheryl Sandberg.A terrific read and A.J. is a terrific writerfunny and super-interesting.Michael Ian BlackEsquirecontributing editor Jacobs (The Year of Living Biblically) muses on the nature of family and the interconnectedness of humanity in this entertaining introduction to the world of genealogy...With short, lively chapters and an easygoing voice, Jacobs keeps the story flowing.Publishers WeeklyA.J. Jacobs latest book embraces an entertaining and heartwarming search to discover Family.His adventure is the natural curiosity in all of us to know where we are from. This book takes you along for the ride as A.J. discovers his family, and works to connect with all of us. His efforts culminate at the worlds largest Global family reunion. The reader if not already a family historian, will become one after reading this fascinating and amazing tale.David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist, New England Historic Genealogical Society Read more About the Author A.J.
