SUMMARY:Kate Greathead reads from her new book The Book of George
DESCRIPTION:If you haven’t had the misfortune of dating a George\, you know someone who has. He’s a young man brimming with potential but incapable of following through; sweet yet noncommittal to his long-suffering girlfriend; distant from but still reliant on his mother; charmingly funny one minute\, sullenly brooding the next. Here\, Kate Greathead paints one particular\, unforgettable George in a series of droll and surprisingly poignant snapshots of his life over two decades. \nDespite his failings\, it’s hard not to root for George at least a little. Beneath his cynicism is a reservoir of fondness for his girlfriend\, Jenny\, and her valiant willingness to put up with him. Each demonstration of his flaws is paired with a self-eviscerating comment. No one is more disappointed in him than himself (except maybe Jenny and his mother). As hilarious as it is resonant and as singular as it is universal\, The Book of George is a deft\, unexpectedly moving portrait of one man—but also countless others.

SUMMARY:Richard Panek discusses his new book Pillars of Creation with Adam Gopnik
DESCRIPTION:Pillars of Creation tells the story of one of the greatest scientific achievements in the history of civilization\, a $10 billion instrument with a staggeringly ambitious goal: unlocking the secrets of the cosmos. Award-winning science writer Richard Panek stands us shoulder to shoulder with senior scientists as they conceive the mission\, meet decades-long challenges to bring it to fruition\, and\, now\, use its unprecedented technology to yield new discoveries about the origins of our solar system\, to search for life on planets around other suns\, and to trace the growth of hundreds of billions of galaxies all the way back to the birth of the first stars. The Webb telescope has captured the world’s imagination\, and Pillars of Creation shows how and why—including through sixteen pages of awe-inspiring\, full-color photos.
