Book ID/图书代码： 00353014B67256
English Summary/英文概要： She’s a Democrat, he’s a Republican. She spends her days fighting global warming at an environmental non-profit, he makes his living doing PR for Bell Motors and their fleet of SUVs. But as soon as they meet, Emily Crossley and Robert Drake realize they have encountered their intellectual match. You’re never challenged, he tells her. You’ve surrounded yourself in a cocoon of people who think exactly the same way you do. She hurls the same accusation back at him, and the fiery debates begin.
Despite both of their attempts to derail it, there is no denying that they are falling in love. But their relationship is threatened by political differences, Robert’s excessive work hours, and Emily’s fear of losing her identity as she falls deeper in love.
Can their love survive? The Drake Equation is a tale of modern love and all its complexities.

About the Author/作者介绍： 海瑟•沃什从小在康涅狄格州北港市长大，对 Pepe’s pizza餐厅尤为亲近。她于玛丽•华盛顿学院获得英语学士学位。人们曾尝试重新为学校命名，以纪念另一名已逝的弗吉尼亚白人，因为附近没有足够多的类似学校，然而玛丽还是据理力争，最终更名也未能实现。海瑟毕业时还是一名斐陶斐荣誉学会学员，听似很了不起，其实课程内容较为简单。
她曾在布鲁克林教授了一年的高中课程，虽然热爱学生，但她却无法接受教育系统。随后，作者加入了美利坚公司，并多人在其中担任IT训练师，项目经理，商业分析师等。她最喜欢的作家是爱丽丝•门罗，最喜欢的电影是《教父》（1和2），最喜欢的电视剧为《火线》。作者居住过的城市环境都十分整洁，其中包括布鲁克林，曼哈顿，旧金山。居住在这些地方唯一的不幸就是，作者从此变成了极易受伤害的美食家。
现阶段，作者与丈夫麦克•德卢西亚以及他们的两个孩子居住在Brookline，MA.
Heather Walsh grew up in North Haven, CT, fantastically close to Pepe’s pizza.
She received a B.A. in English at Mary Washington College, which has been renamed to, drum roll please... the University of Mary Washington. They initially tried to rename it after another dead white Virginian because there aren’t enough of those schools around, but somehow Mary pulled through. Heather graduated Phi Betta Kappa and summa cum laude, which sounds kind of fancy but really means she took easy classes.
She taught high school English in Brooklyn for one year, where she loved the students but not the system. She then joined corporate America and worked there for too many years as an IT trainer, project manager, business analyst, and SQL dabbler (select * from Dented_Cans).
Her favorite writer is Alice Munro, her favorite movie is The Godfather Parts I & II (tied for first), and her favorite TV show is The Wire. She has lived in some pretty neat places, including Brooklyn (kind of before it was hipster-cool to do so), Manhattan, and San Francisco. The unfortunate result of living in these locations is that she has become an obnoxious foodie.
She currently lives in Brookline, MA with her husband, Mike DeLucia, and their two children.
