The river why 500
Being as I wasn’t invited to star in the upcoming film adaptation of David James Duncan’s The River Why, I have to wonder what all the noise is about (maybe it has something to do with a naked Amber Heard but The River Why continues to create buzz, the latest being a long piece in Outside magazine. Amber Heard, fly fishing - no wonder all the fly geeks are swooning. From the story: I’m eagerly awaiting the next scene, because the crew is about to shoot the most incredible catch in the history of angling literature. That’s saying a lot—fishermen, especially those who write fiction, are liars—but this sequence is pretty unbelievable. Waiting on the bank is 27-year-old actor Zach Gilford—best known as introverted high-school quarterback Matt Saracen on NBC’s Friday Night Lights—who plays the novel’s hero, a troubled fly-fishing prodigy named Gus Orviston. Gus stumbles upon The River Why’s heroine, a blond fishing goddess named Eddy, as she hooks a huge steelhead with a homemade hazel pole, tosses the rod into the river to slow the fish, sheds her clothes, and subdues the leviathan by swimming after it and grabbing it underwater. Only the most imaginative of anglers could have dreamed up such a catch, which has achieved mythic status among fishermen in the 26 years since The River Why was published. Is it me, or is the writer “eagerly awaiting the next scene” not because it’s famous – but because there’s high probability for a naked Amber Heard? ( We thought so too). Still, those eager for news about the production (and I have it from an anonymous reliable source that the production company didn’t exactly raise the bar for preparedness will find the Outside article is a bonanza. The legions of Amber Heard fanboys will be delighted with the Amber Heard photo gallery (oh la la while fans of Friday Night Light’s Zach Gilford (count me among them) will no doubt.

Felipe Fernandez- Armesto. Oxford Univ, .95 (304p) ISBN 42-9 This unclassifiable book—part history, part science, part speculation—seeks to explain the interaction between evolutionary change (a scientific reality) and cultural change (a historical one). Like all historians, University of Notre Dame professor Fernandez- Armesto ( Our America) invokes historical knowledge to illustrate the ways human cultures develop. But unlike most historians, he invokes the natural and physical sciences to lay out how the behavioral evolution of species interacts with cultural evolution. Ingeniously citing studies of the thought and behavior of many nonhuman cultures, he shows how the actions of nonhuman animals, even perhaps their cognition and understanding, can be so close to that of humans. But adopting the role of soothsayer, Fernandez- Armesto argues that human cultural change seems to be accelerating—that cultural change has overtaken evolution as an explanation for large-scale change and will continue to do so. This is “big history” to the utmost degree, an attempt to unite science and history in a single explanatory scheme much like the work of Jared Diamond. Excessively erudite, extraordinarily wide-ranging, and written with great clarity, the book is also speculative and unconvincing. Fernandez- Armesto is sure to stir up debate, lure others into similar speculation, and perhaps strengthen the chance of closer mutual endeavors between the physical sciences and the humanities.
