SUMMARY:Lauren Willig launches her latest novel The Girl from Greenwich Street
DESCRIPTION:At the start of a new century\, a shocking murder transfixes Manhattan\, forcing bitter rivals Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr to work together to save a man from the gallows. \nJust before Christmas 1799\, Elma Sands slips out of her Quaker cousin’s boarding house—and doesn’t come home. Has she eloped? Run away? No one knows—until her body appears in the Manhattan Well. \nHer family insists they know who killed her. Handbills circulate around the city accusing a carpenter named Levi Weeks of seducing and murdering Elma. \nBut privately\, quietly\, Levi’s wealthy brother calls in a special favor…. \nAaron Burr’s legal practice can’t finance both his expensive tastes and his ambition to win the 1800 New York elections. To defend Levi Weeks is a double win: a hefty fee plus a chance to grab headlines. \nAlexander Hamilton has his own political aspirations; he isn’t going to let Burr monopolize the public’s attention. If Burr is defending Levi Weeks\, then Hamilton will too. As the trial and the election draw near\, Burr and Hamilton race against time to save a man’s life—and destroy each other. \nPart murder mystery\, part thriller\, part true crime\, The Girl From Greenwich Street revisits a dark corner of history—with a surprising twist ending that reveals the true story of the woman at the center of the tale.

SUMMARY:Joshua Hammer discusses his latest The Mesopotamian Riddle
DESCRIPTION:It was one of history’s great vanishing acts. \nAround 3\,400 BCE—as humans were gathering in complex urban settlements—a scribe in the mud-walled city-state of Uruk picked up a reed stylus to press tiny symbols into clay. For three millennia\, wedge shape cuneiform script would record the military conquests\, scientific discoveries\, and epic literature of the great Mesopotamian kingdoms of Sumer\, Assyria\, and Babylon and of Persia’s mighty Achaemenid Empire\, along with precious minutiae about everyday life in the cradle of civilization. And then…the meaning of the characters was lost. \nLondon\, 1857. In an era obsessed with human progress\, mysterious palaces emerging from the desert sands had captured the Victorian public’s imagination. Yet Europe’s best philologists struggled to decipher the bizarre inscriptions excavators were digging up. \nEnter a swashbuckling archaeologist\, a suave British military officer turned diplomat\, and a cloistered Irish rector\, all vying for glory in a race to decipher this script that would enable them to peek farther back into human history than ever before. \nFrom the ruins of Persepolis to lawless outposts of the crumbling Ottoman Empire\, The Mesopotamian Riddle whisks you on a wild adventure through the golden age of archaeology in an epic quest to understand our past.

SUMMARY:Angela Denker in conversation about her new book Disciples of White Jesus
DESCRIPTION:Disciples of White Jesus is a comprehensive look at the rise in radicalization among young white men in America\, especially focused on the role of right-wing Christianity in the increase of religious-based hatred and violence. Denker goes deep into the online rabbit holes of right-wing Christian influencers and conservative Christian ideology to understand how the preaching of “traditional gender roles” and “submission of women” has led to anger\, outrage\, loneliness\, depression\, and limiting identities for young white Christian men across America. \nCasting her journalist’s eye across the US\, Denker retraces the steps of a racist South Carolina mass shooter and a Phoenix skinhead turned Evangelical pastor\, interviews middle school teachers and coaches in the Midwest\, and introduces us to young men across the country who will both confirm and confound our ideas about American boyhood–stories about boys and men who are forging new identities grounded in kindness\, grace\, respect\, and even joy. A must-read for parents\, grandparents\, educators\, coaches\, faith leaders\, researchers\, and all who care about the state of American families\, boys themselves\, and the safety of American society at large. \n\nAngela Denker will be in conversation with Anne Nelson.
