Jacobs undergoes a hilarious, poignant quest to understand what constitutes family--where it begins and how far it goes--in \u003ci\u003eIt's All Relative\u003c\/i\u003e, a \"thought-provoking...delightful, easy-to-read, informative book\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA.J. Jacobs has received some strange emails over the years, but this note was perhaps the strangest: \"You don't know me, but I'm your eighth cousin. And we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat's 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 Jacobs's three-year adventure to help build the biggest family tree in history. In \u003ci\u003eIt's All Relative\u003c\/i\u003e, he \"muses on the nature of family and the interconnectedness of humanity in this entertaining introduction to the world of genealogy\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJacobs's journey would take him to all seven continents. He drank beer with a US president, sung 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Whether he's 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. Jacobs\" (\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e). Now Jacobs upends, in ways both meaningful and hilarious, our understanding of genetics and genealogy, tradition and tribalism, identity and connection. \"Whimsical but also full of solid journalism and eye-opening revelations about the history of humanity, \u003ci\u003eIt's All Relative\u003c\/i\u003e is a real treat\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3760184\"\u003eA.
