SUMMARY:Vroman's: Brooke Wentz\, in conversation with Anthony Davis\, discusses Transfigured New York: Interviews with Experimental Artists and Musicians\, 1980-1990
DESCRIPTION:Transfigured New York presents conversations with iconic\, genre-bending artists who shaped the sounds of experimental movements like no-wave\, avant-jazz\, and electronic music. As an undergrad in the 1980s\, Brooke Wentz hosted the show Transfigured Night on Columbia University’s WKCR-FM\, discussing art and ideas with avant-garde music luminaries. She unearths these candid interviews before only first broadcast from cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes\, letting readers today feel the excitement and creative energy of the 1980s New York underground scene. Musicians and artists\, now icons of their craft\, tell their stories and share their thoughts about the creative process\, capturing the ambition and energy that animated their work. Legends in the making like Bill Frisell\, Philip Glass\, and Laurie Anderson convey what it was like to be a struggling artist in 1980s New York when the city was alive with possibilities. Others who were well known at the time\, including John Cage\, La Monte Young\, and Ravi Shankar\, advocated for their distinctive ideas about art and opened up about their creative lives. Featuring an astonishing range of interviews with Subotnick\, Joan Tower\, Steve Reich\, Glenn Branca\, Joan La Barbara\, Living Colour\, Arthur Russell\, John Lurie\, Eric Bogosian\, Bill T. Jones\, and many more Transfigured New York provides new insight into the city’s cultural landscape in this era. It is a one-of-a-kind account of one of the most exhilarating and inventive periods for art and culture in New York City’s history.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ron White Discusses 'On Great Fields'
DESCRIPTION:Before 1862\, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine\, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army\, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg\, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top\, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg–and told by two surgeons he would die–Chamberlain survived the war\, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. \nHow did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a trained minister find his way to the battlefield? Award-winning historian Ronald C. White delves into these contradictions in this cradle-to-grave biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain\, from his upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious\, empathetic military leadership and his influential postwar public service\, exploring a question that still plagues so many veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war? \nChamberlain is familiar to millions from Michael Shaara’s now-classic novel of the Civil War\, The Killer Angels\, and Ken Burns’s timeless miniseries The Civil War\, but in this book \, White captures the complex and inspiring man behind the hero . Heavily illustrated and featuring nine detailed maps\, this gripping\, impeccably researched portrait illuminates one of the most admired but least known figures in our nation’s bloodiest conflict.

SUMMARY:Vromans: Enrico Gnaulati discusses Flourishing Love
DESCRIPTION:Flourishing Love is a secular defense of marriage and long-term intimate partnership. It rejects a moral-religious code to govern love lives and instead puts its faith in the human potential for couples to be benevolent\, loyal\, and forgiving to preserve and enhance their romantic union. Dr Gnaulati draws on a variety of sources to present the joint emotional upkeep necessary to make an intimate relationship not just satisfactory\, but vital\, and to illustrate what these lasting bonds look like. The latest science\, anecdotes from his own 30-year marriage as well as from his psychotherapy practice\, the musings of ancient and contemporary philosophers\, and real-life interviews from partners in long-term happy marriages and intimate unions are all used to reveal the secrets to a successful romantic partnership. The result is a how-to of engaging in attentive and sensitive communication; employing a fairness habit of mind around household chores\, childrearing responsibilities\, and finances; optimally moving through and beyond conflict; keeping an erotic spark alive; and ethically handling urges to stray outside the couple. A must-read for all those who crave meaning\, happiness\, and fulfilment in life and need their romantic partnerships to help\, not hinder\, in this endeavor.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Andrew Shtulman discusses Learning to Imagine
DESCRIPTION:Imagination is thought to be the province of childhood–the stuff of free play and unrestrained ideas. Then comes the dull routine of adulthood\, stifling creativity. In fact\, the opposite is true. Andrew Shtulman shows that imagination is not inherited at birth\, nor does it diminish with age. It grows as we do\, through education and reflection.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Merrill Joan Gerber presents Revelation at the Food Bank
DESCRIPTION:These powerful essays share critical moments of a writer’s life: scenes from sixty years of passionate married love; suicides faced and suicide contemplated; trauma at the DMV; a night lost searching for a harpsichord in the mountains of Florence\, Italy; the tale of a beloved cousin whose plane is shot down by Japanese Zeros; and a precious friendship between two women writers derailed by the poisons of religion and politics. In the titular essay (included in Best American Essays 2023) a food bank\, assuaging the pandemic’s terrors with gifts of food and prayers\, becomes a portal for intimate confidences entrusted to us by a voice of unspoiled authenticity and perennial vigor.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Matt Coyle and Tim Maleeny discuss Odyssey’s End and Hanging the Devil
DESCRIPTION:Odyssey’s End: San Diego private investigator Rick Cahill’s past comes back to haunt him when he’s at his most vulnerable. His wife\, Leah\, has fled with their daughter\, Krista\, to her parents’ home in Santa Barbara. She fears Rick’s violent outbursts brought on by his potentially fatal brain disorder\, CTE–and she doesn’t trust that he’ll ever be able to tame his manic desire to bring his own brand of justice to an unjust world. \nRick desperately wants to reunite his family and help provide for Krista’s future–one he fears he won’t be alive to see. A jumpstart toward that future appears in the form of Peter Stone\, Rick’s longtime enemy. Stone offers Rick $50\,000 to find a woman he claims can save his life with a kidney transplant. Rick can’t pass up the chance to buttress Krista’s future.\nWhen what seems like a simple missing person case spirals out of control into cryptocurrency machinations\, dead bodies\, and an outgunned faceoff\, Rick is forced to battle evil from his past. Can he stay alive long enough to see his family one last time? (Oceanview Publishing) \nHanging the Devil: It was supposed to be a simple job: steal the paintings\, leave the forgeries…\nWhen a helicopter crashes through the skylight of the Asian Art Museum\, an audacious heist turns into a tragedy. The only witness to the crash is eleven-year-old Grace\, who watches in horror as her uncle is killed and a priceless statue stolen by two men and a–ghost? At least that’s how the eerie\, smoke-like figure with parchment skin and floating hair appears to Grace. Scared almost to death\, she flees into the night and seeks refuge in the back alleys of San Francisco’s Chinatown. \nGrace is found by Sally Mei\, self-appointed guardian of Chinatown. While Sally trains Grace in basic survival skills\, her erstwhile partner Cape Weathers\, private detective and public nuisance\, searches for the mysterious crew behind the robbery before they strike the museum a second time. As the clock winds down\, Cape enlists aid from some unlikely allies to lay a trap for a ghost who has no intention of being caught–nor of leaving any witnesses alive to tell the tale.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Alison Dundes Renteln discusses International Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of international human rights issues\, offering truly international coverage including the Global South. Considering the philosophical foundations of human rights\, Chen and Renteln explore the interpretive difficulties associated with identifying what constitute human rights abuses\, and evaluate various perspectives on human rights. This book goes on to analyze institutions that strive to promote and enforce human rights standards\, including the United Nations system\, regional human rights bodies\, and domestic courts. It also discusses a wide variety of substantive human rights including genocide\, torture\, capital punishment\, and other cruel and unusual punishments. In particular\, the book offers an accessible introduction to key understudied topics within human rights\, such as socioeconomic rights\, cultural rights\, and environmental rights. It also focuses on the rights of marginalized groups\, including children’s rights\, rights of persons with disabilities\, women’s rights\, labor rights\, indigenous rights\, and LGBTQ+ rights\, making this an engaging and invaluable resource for the contemporary student.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Becky Nicolaides\, in conversation with Naomi Hirahara\, The New Suburbia
DESCRIPTION:America’s suburbs have been transforming. The conventional story of suburbs as bastions of white\, middle-class homeowners no longer describes the suburbs of America’s cities. Today they house a more typical cross-section of the nation–rich\, poor\, Black American\, Latino\, Asian\, immigrant\, the unhoused\, the lavishly housed\, and everyone in between. Stories of everyday suburban life\, in the process\, have taken on new inflections. \nNowhere are these changes more vivid than in Los Angeles. In this suburban metropolis and global powerhouse\, lily white suburbs have virtually disappeared\, and over two-thirds of the County’s suburbs have become majority minority. Examining this vanguard of change from the postwar to the present\, The New Suburbia follows the Asian Americans\, Black Americans\, and Latinos who moved into white neighborhoods that once barred them. They bought homes\, enrolled their children in schools\, and began navigating suburban life. They faced a choice: would they remake the suburbs\, or would the suburbs remake them? In places like Pasadena\, San Marino\, South Gate\, and Lakewood\, suburbanites faced the challenges of living together in difference. Historian Becky Nicolaides explores a range of community experiences\, from internal resegregation to suburban poverty\, an embrace of law-and-order culture to police brutality\, friendly neighbors to social withdrawal. In some communities\, diverse residents continued longstanding habits of exclusion and perpetuated metropolitan inequality. In others\, they embraced more inclusive\, multicultural suburban ideals. Through it all\, the common denominators of suburbia remained–low-slung landscapes of single-family homes and families seeking the good life. \nAn authoritative work based on a half-century of quantitative data and unpublished oral histories and interviews\, The New Suburbia explores vital landscapes where the American dream has endured\, even as the dreamers have changed.
