Descriere RO
New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically, A.J. Jacobs undergoes a hilarious, heartfelt quest to understand what constitutes familyâwhere it begins and how far it goesâand attempts to untangle the true meaning of the âFamily of Humankind.â
A.J. Jacobs has received some strange emails over the years, but this note was perhaps the strangest: âYou donât know me, but Iâm your eighth cousin. And we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database.â
Thatâs enough family members to fill Madison Square Garden four times over. Who are these people, A.J. wondered, and how do I find them? So began Jacobsâs three-year adventure to help build the biggest family tree in history.
Jacobsâs journey would take him to all seven continents. He drank beer with a US president, found himself singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and unearthed genetic links to Hollywood actresses and real-life scoundrels. After all, we can choose our friends, but not our family.
âWhether heâs posing as a celebrity, outsourcing his chores, or adhering strictly to the Bible, we love reading about the wacky lifestyle experiments of author A.J. Jacobsâ (Entertainment Weekly). Now Jacobs upends, in ways both meaningful and hilarious, our understanding of genetics and genealogy, tradition and tribalism, identity and connection. Itâs All Relative is a fascinating look at the bonds that connect us all.
