SUMMARY:Roger Angell reads from his latest This Old Man
DESCRIPTION:Long known for his range and supple prose (he is the only writer elected to membership in both the Baseball Hall of Fame and the American Academy of Arts and Letters)\, Angell won the 2015 American Society of Magazine Editors’ Best Essay award for “This Old Man\,” which forms a centerpiece for this book. This deeply personal account is a survey of the limitations and discoveries of great age\, with abundant life\, poignant loss\, jokes\, retrieved moments\, and fresh love\, set down in an informal and moving fashion. A flood of readers from different generations have discovered and shared this classic piece. Angell’s fluid prose and native curiosity make him an amiable and compelling companion on the page. The book gathers essays\, letters\, light verse\, book reviews\, Talk of the Town stories\, farewells\, haikus\, Profiles\, Christmas greetings\, late thoughts on the costs of war. Whether it’s a Fourth of July in rural Maine\, a beloved British author at work\, Derek Jeter’s departure\, the final game of the 2014 World Series\, an all-dog opera\, editorial exchanges with John Updike\, or a letter to a son\, what links the pieces is the author’s perceptions and humor\, his utter absence of self-pity\, and his appreciation of friends and colleagues—writers\, ballplayers\, editors\, artists—encountered over the course of a full and generous life.

SUMMARY:Please join editor Andrew Blauner and contributors Samuel G. Freedman\, Charles McGrath\, and Daniel Menaker as we celebrate the publication of The Good Book
DESCRIPTION:In The Good Book\, thirty-two of today’s most prominent writers share never-before-published pieces about passages in the Bible that are most meaningful to them. \nThe Good Book\, with an introduction by Adam Gopnik\, collects new pieces by writers from many different faiths and ethnicities including literary fiction writers (Colm Tóibín\, Edwidge Danticat\, Tobias Wolff\, Rick Moody); bestselling nonfiction writers (A.J. Jacobs\, Ian Frazier\, Thomas Lynch); notable figures in the media (Charles McGrath\, Cokie Roberts\, Steven V. Roberts); and social activists (Al Sharpton\, Kerry Kennedy). While these contributors are not primarily known as religious thinkers\, they write intelligently and movingly about specific passages in the Bible that inform the way they live\, think about past experiences\, and see society today. Some pieces are close readings of specific passages\, some are anecdotes from everyday life\, and all will inspire\, provoke\, or illuminate. \nAddressing some of the best-known and best-loved characters and stories from Genesis to Revelation\, The Good Book will be a beautiful\, enlightening gift for secular readers and readers of faith as well as a collection of interest to reading groups\, readers of creative nonfiction and personal essays\, and fans of each of the individual contributors.

SUMMARY:Thomas Vinciguerra reads from his debut Cast of Characters
DESCRIPTION:The professional and personal lives of the pioneers of an enduring magazine.\nFrom its birth in 1925 to the present day\, The New Yorker has been the country’s most prestigious\, entertaining\, and informative general-interest periodical. In Cast of Characters\, Thomas Vinciguerra revisits the early years of that creative cauldron. At the heart of the narrative is the largely forgotten life of Wolcott Gibbs\, the magazine’s theater critic and all-around wit\, author of an infamous 1936 parody of Time magazine. Around him swirled a legendary roster of names\, E. B. and Katharine White\, James Thurber\, Charles Addams\, Peter Arno\, and John O’Hara among them. Their stories—along with those of equally colorful but overlooked figures like managing editor St. Clair McKelway\, head fact-checker Frederick Packard\, and the flamboyant film reviewer John Mosher—are told here. Drawing on extensive interviews\, multiple manuscript collections\, and myriad secondary sources\, Cast of Characters may be the most revealing book yet about the unique personalities who built what founding editor Harold Ross called not a magazine but a “movement.”

SUMMARY:Mark Molesky reads from his debut This Gulf of Fire
DESCRIPTION:On All Saints Day of 1755\, the tremors from a magnitude 9.0 earthquake swept furiously from its epicenter in the Atlantic Ocean toward the Iberian Peninsula. Nowhere was it felt more than in Lisbon\, then the thriving capital of a great global empire. In a few minutes most of Lisbon was destroyed—but that was only the beginning. A tsunami swept away most of the ruined coast along the Tagus River and carried untold souls out to sea. When fire broke out across the city\, the surviving Lisboetas were subject to a firestorm reaching temperatures over 1\,832ºF. Drawing on a wealth of new sources\, on modern science (geology did not exist then)\, and on a sophisticated grasp of Portuguese history\, Molesky gives us the definitive account of the destruction\, of history’s first international relief effort\, and of the effects these events had on the optimistic spirit of the Enlightenment.

SUMMARY:Susan Cheever reads from her latest Drinking in America: Our Secret History
DESCRIPTION:In Drinking in America\, bestselling author Susan Cheever chronicles our national love affair with liquor\, taking a long\, thoughtful look at the way alcohol has changed our nation’s history. This is the often-overlooked story of how alcohol has shaped American events and the American character from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Seen through the lens of alcoholism\, American history takes on a vibrancy and a tragedy missing from many earlier accounts. From the drunkenness of the Pilgrims to Prohibition hijinks\, drinking has always been a cherished American custom: a way to celebrate and a way to grieve and a way to take the edge off. At many pivotal points in our history–the illegal Mayflower landing at Cape Cod\, the enslavement of African Americans\, the McCarthy witch hunts\, and the Kennedy assassination\, to name only a few-alcohol has acted as a catalyst. Some nations drink more than we do\, some drink less\, but no other nation has been the drunkest in the world as America was in the 1830s only to outlaw drinking entirely a hundred years later. Both a lively history and an unflinching cultural investigation\, Drinking in America unveils the volatile ambivalence within one nation’s tumultuous affair with alcohol.

SUMMARY:Robert Pennoyer reads from his memoir As It Was
DESCRIPTION:“Robert M. Pennoyer was born into a storied family – his maternal grandfather was the legendary J. P. Morgan. His irresistible memoir traces his sheltered childhood on the Gold Coast of Long Island; an adolescence overshadowed by the gathering clouds of World War II; and a young adulthood that survived one of the decisive engagements of the Pacific Theater – Iwo Jima. The author gives us as well a heartwarming account of a romance that blossomed into a lifelong matrimonial partnership and a close family life\, tested nonetheless by crisis. And he chronicles a distinguished career\, the early part of which was spent in the service of President Eisenhower and the latter part in private law practice and pro bono work.” \n— Scott Horton\, author of Lords of Secrecy: The National Security Elite and America’s Stealth Warfare (2015)\, contributing editor\,Harper’s Magazine.

SUMMARY:David Jaher reads from his debut The Witch of Lime Street
DESCRIPTION:The 1920s are famous as the golden age of jazz and glamour\, but it was also an era of fevered yearning for communion with the spirit world\, after the loss of tens of millions in the First World War and the Spanish-flu epidemic. A desperate search for reunion with dead loved ones precipitated a tidal wave of self-proclaimed psychics—and\, as reputable media sought stories on occult phenomena\, mediums became celebrities. \nAgainst this backdrop\, in 1924\, the pretty wife of a distinguished Boston surgeon came to embody the raging national debate over Spiritualism\, a movement devoted to communication with the dead. Reporters dubbed her the blonde Witch of Lime Street\, but she was known to her followers simply as Margery. Her most vocal advocate was none other than Sherlock Holmes’ creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\, who believed so thoroughly in Margery’s powers that he urged her to enter a controversial contest\, sponsored by Scientific American and offering a large cash prize to the first medium declared authentic by its impressive five-man investigative committee.  Admired for both her exceptional charm and her dazzling effects\, Margery was the best hope for the psychic practice to be empirically verified.  Her supernatural gifts beguiled four of the judges. There was only one left to convince…the acclaimed escape artist\, Harry Houdini.

SUMMARY:Frederick A.O. Schwarz reads from his latest book Democracy in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:From Dick Cheney’s man-sized safe to the National Security Agency’s massive intelligence gathering\, secrecy has too often captured the American government’s modus operandi better than the ideals of the Constitution. In this important new book\, Frederick A.O. Schwarz Jr.\, who was chief counsel to the U.S. Church Committee on Intelligence—which uncovered the FBI’s effort to push Martin Luther King to commit suicide; the CIA’s enlistment of the Mafia to try to kill Fidel Castro; and the NSA’s thirty-year program to get copies of all telegrams leaving the United States—uses examples ranging from the dropping of the first atomic bomb and the Cuban Missile Crisis to Iran Contra and 9/11 to illuminate this central question: how much secrecy does good governance require? Schwarz argues that while some control of information is necessary\, governments tend to fall prey to a culture of secrecy that is ultimately not just hazardous to democracy but antithetical to it. This history provides the essential context to recent cases from Chelsea Manning to Edward Snowden.

SUMMARY:Lily Tuck reads from her new novel The Double Life of Liliane
DESCRIPTION:Lily Tuck has had a wonderful and accomplished career as a National Book Award winning novelist\, story writer\, essayist and biographer. She is one of our most distinguished contributors to American literature. With The Double Life of Liliane\, Tuck writes what may well be her crowning achievement to date. \nAs the child of a German movie producer father who lives in Italy and a beautiful\, artistically talented mother who resides in New York\, Liliane’s life is divided between those two very different worlds. A shy and observant only child with a vivid imagination\, Liliane uncovers the stories of family members as diverse as Moses Mendelssohn\, Mary Queen of Scots and an early Mexican adventurer\, and pieces together their vivid histories\, through both World Wars and across continents. ? \nWhat unfolds is an astonishing and riveting metanarrative: an exploration of self\, humanity\, and family in the manner of W.G. Sebald and Karl Ove Knausgaard. Told with Tuck’s inimitable elegance and peppered with documents\, photos\, and a rich and varied array of characters\, The Double Life of Liliane is an intimate and poignant coming of age portrait of the writer as a young woman.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of The Way of Wanderlust with travel writer Don George
DESCRIPTION:As a professional travel writer and editor for the past 40 years\, Don George has been paid to explore the world. Through the decades\, his articles have been published in magazines\, newspapers\, and websites around the globe and have won more awards than almost any other travel writer alive\, yet his pieces have never been collected into one volume. The Way of Wanderlust: The Best Travel Writing of Don George fills this void with a moving and inspiring collection of tales and reflections from one of America’s most acclaimed and beloved travel writers. \nFrom his high-spirited account of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on a whim when he was 22 years old to his heart-plucking description of a home-stay in a muddy compound in Cambodia as a 61-year-old\, this collection ranges widely. As renowned for his insightful observations as for his poetic prose\, George always absorbs the essence of the places he’s visiting. \nOther stories here include a moving encounter with Australia’s sacred red rock monolith\, Uluru; an immersion in country kindness on the Japanese island of Shikoku; the trials and triumphs of ascending Yosemite’s Half Dome with his wife and children; and a magical morning at Machu Picchu. \n

SUMMARY:Jesse Kornbluth reads from his new novel Married Sex
DESCRIPTION:When a husband convinces his wife to join him in a tryst with another woman\, there are unintended consequences in this sharply observed erotic tale about the challenges of modern marriage. \nAs a divorce lawyer for Manhattan’s elite\, David Greenfield is privy to the intimate\, dirty details of failed marriages. He knows he’s lucky to be married to Blair—a Barnard dean and the mother of their college-age daughter\, a woman he loves more today than when they tied the knot.  But when seductive photographer Jean Coin asks David to be her lover for six weeks until she leaves for Timbuktu\, David is tempted\, reasoning that “it’s not cheating if your wife’s there.” A one-night threesome would relieve the pressure of monogamy without wrecking their marriage. What harm could come of fulfilling his longtime sexual fantasy?

SUMMARY:Jill Bialosky reads from her new novel The Prize
DESCRIPTION:What do we prize most? Are integrity and ambition mutually exclusive\, as we seek a place in the world? How do we value\, ultimately\, a piece of art — or a life? These are the questions at the core of the evocative new novel by New York Times bestselling author Jill Bialosky. \nTalented\, successful\, blessed with a loving wife and daughter\, Edward Darby has everything a man should hope for. With a rising career as a partner at an esteemed gallery he strives not to let ambition\, money\, power\, and his dark past corrode the sanctuary of his domestic and private life. Influenced by his father\, a brilliant Romantics scholar\, Edward has always been more of a purist than an opportunist. But when a celebrated artist controlled by her insecurities betrays him\, and another very different artist awakens his heart and stirs up secrets from his past\, Edward will find himself unmoored from his marriage\, his work\, and the memory of his beloved father. And when the finalists of an important prize are announced\, and the desperate artists maneuver to seek its validation\, Edward soon learns that betrayal comes in many forms\, and that he may be hurtling toward an act that challenges his own notions about what comprises a life worth living. A compelling odyssey of a man unhinged by his ideals\, The Prize is as well an unflinching portrait of a marriage struggling against the corroding tide of time and the proximity to the treacherous fault line between art and money. \nInspired by her work as a poet and the need to preserve a private space for the creation of art\, The Prize by Jill Bialosky is her most moving novel yet.

They will also see that Upper East Side mothers want the same things for their children that all mothers want—safety\, happiness\, and success—and not even sky-high penthouses and chauffeured SUVs can protect this ecologically released tribe from the universal experiences of anxiety and loss. When Wednesday’s life turns upside down\, she learns how deep the bonds of female friendship really are. \nIntelligent\, funny\, and heartfelt\, Primates of Park Avenue lifts a veil on a secret\, elite world within a world—the exotic\, fascinating\, and strangely familiar culture of privileged Manhattan motherhood.

SUMMARY:Ginger Adams Otis reads from her debut Firefight
DESCRIPTION:In 1919\, when Wesley Williams became a New York City firefighter\, he stepped into a world that was 100% white and predominantly Irish. As far as this city knew\, black men in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) tended horses. Nearly a century later\, many things in the FDNY had changed—but not the scarcity of black firemen. New York had about 300 black firefighters—roughly 3 percent of the 11\,000 New York firefighters in a city of two million African Americans. That made the FDNY a true aberration compared to all the other uniformed departments\, like the NYPD. Decades earlier\, women and blacks had sued over its hiring practices and won. But the FDNY never took permanent steps to eradicate the inequities\, which led to a courtroom show-down between New York City’s billionaire Mayor\, Mike Bloomberg\, and a determined group of black activist firefighters. It was not until 2014 that the city settled the $98 million lawsuit. \nAt the center of this book are stories of courage—about firefighters risking their lives in the line of duty but also risking their livelihood by battling an unjust system. Among them: FDNY Captain Paul Washington\, a second generation black firefighter\, who spent his multi-decade career fighting to get minorities on the job. He faced an insular culture made up of relatives who never saw their own inclusion as favoritism. \nBased on years of on the ground reporting\, Firefight is an exciting blend of the high-octane energy of firefighting and critical Civil Rights history.

SUMMARY:Mary Davis launches her debut for young adults Oliphant Island
DESCRIPTION:The Oliphant sisters–Miranda\, Lulu and Leggy–spend every summer at their family’s run-down Great Camp in the Adirondacks built by their great-great grandfather\, back when the family was prosperous. As much as the girls look forward to time away from their New York City all-girls school\, the tedium of an entire summer enjoying unspoiled nature\, with no wireless connection anywhere\, is more than they can bear. This summer their parents\, Professor and Judge Oliphant\, are busy with work and have handed them over to their kind but absentminded Aunt Ariel\, who provides even less structure than their parents. Miranda daydreams about redecorating their moldy\, book-filled camp; Lulu hungers for competitive sports; and Leggy\, the littlest Oliphant\, drives everyone crazy with her constant talk of fairies. When their odious cousins arrive unexpectedly\, bringing with them all the tensions the girls thought they had left behind for the summer\, the girls\, who were each adopted from China\, fight for their place in the family and for their beloved summer home. They discover that being an Oliphant brings lots of surprises.

SUMMARY:Josh Davis launches his debut book Two Awesome Hours
DESCRIPTION:Whether we love our jobs or not\, the amount of work on our plate has reached unsustainable levels. We start each workday anxious about how we will get it all done\, and which important tasks will have to be sacrificed—again—so we can keep our heads above water. We often respond to our out-of-control to-do lists by focusing on being more efficient—trying to get more done in less time. According to Josh Davis\, Ph.D.\, we’re going about it the wrong way. The answer is not to get more done faster\, but rather to create the conditions for at least two awesome hours of peak productivity each day. \nNeuroscience and psychology research is revealing what those conditions are. Drawing on this research\, Davis explains that our minds operate according to complex factors that\, when leveraged the right way\, can make us truly effective. Davis shows us five deceptively simple strategies to create the conditions for incredible productivity and to restore sanity and balance to our lives.

SUMMARY:Janice Nimura reads from her debut Daughters of the Samurai
DESCRIPTION:In 1871\, five young girls were sent by the Japanese government to the United States. Their mission: learn Western ways and return to help nurture a new generation of enlightened men to lead Japan. Raised in traditional samurai households during the turmoil of civil war\, three of these unusual ambassadors—Sutematsu Yamakawa\, Shige Nagai\, and Ume Tsuda—grew up as typical American schoolgirls. Upon their arrival in San Francisco they became celebrities\, their travels feted by newspapers across the nation. The passionate friendships they formed reveal an intimate world of cross-cultural fascination and connection. Ten years later\, they returned to Japan—a land grown foreign to them—determined to revolutionize women’s education.Based on in-depth archival research in Japan and in the United States\, Daughters of the Samurai is beautifully\, cinematically written\, a fascinating lens through which to view an extraordinary historical moment.

SUMMARY:Patricia Morrisroe reads from her latest book 9 1/2 Narrow: My Life in Shoes
DESCRIPTION:A funny\, poignant coming-of-age memoir told through the shoes that she wore. \nFrom baby booties to orthopedic brogues (and all the high and low heels in between) shoes mark important rites of passage\, reminding us of both the good and bad times: the road not taken\, the prince that got away\, the missed opportunities\, the traveling\, the fun. Most of all\, they bring to mind the people we’ve loved and sometimes lost along the way. \nCombining tidbits of cultural history\, Morrisroe chronicles her life as a bullied Catholic schoolgirl in “Moby Dick” brogues; a besotted college student in granny boots; an aspiring journalist in Annie Hall oxfords; a skeptical bride in her first Manolos; a reluctant fashionista in towering peep-toe pumps; and a concerned daughter\, whose elderly mother hoped that her New Balance sneakers would help her regain her old balance. With wit and compassion\, she introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters\, from her grandfather\, who treated the family to legendary foot rubs\, to her husband\, whose vast collection of vintage Puma sneakers threatened to overwhelm their apartment and derail their marriage. \nMorrisroe’s “coming-of-age” is\, at its heart\, the story of a generation of women who’ve enjoyed a world of freedom and opportunity that was unthinkable to their mothers. Spanning five decades and countless footwear trends\, 9 ½ Narrowis\, like Love\, Loss and What I Wore\, about how we remember important events through a coat\, or a dress\, or in this case\, a Beatle boot or Confirmation “wedgie.” With her charming sense of humor and irresistible voice\, Morrisroe not only recounts her own story but also everywoman’s. Funny\, candid and unexpectedly poignant\, 9 ½ Narrow is about how we grow up\, grow older\, and finally grow into our own shoes.

SUMMARY:Matt McCarthy reads from his latest The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly
DESCRIPTION:In medical school\, Matt McCarthy dreamed of being a different kind of doctor—the sort of mythical\, unflappable physician who could reach unreachable patients. But when a new admission to the critical care unit almost died his first night on call\, he found himself scrambling. Visions of mastery quickly gave way to hopes of simply surviving hospital life\, where confidence was hard to come by and no amount of med school training could dispel the terror of facing actual patients. \nThis funny\, candid memoir of McCarthy’s intern year at a New York hospital provides a scorchingly frank look at how doctors are made\, taking readers into patients’ rooms and doctors’ conferences to witness a physician’s journey from ineptitude to competence. McCarthy’s one stroke of luck paired him with a brilliant second-year adviser he called “Baio” (owing to his resemblance to the Charles in Charge star)\, who proved to be a remarkable teacher with a wicked sense of humor. McCarthy would learn even more from the people he cared for\, including a man named Benny\, who was living in the hospital for months at a time awaiting a heart transplant. But no teacher could help McCarthy when an accident put his own health at risk\, and showed him all too painfully the thin line between doctor and patient.\n\nThe Real Doctor Will See You Shortly offers a window on to hospital life that dispenses with sanctimony and self-seriousness while emphasizing the black-comic paradox of becoming a doctor: How do you learn to save lives in a job where there is no practice?

SUMMARY:A reading by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer from their debut Hissing Cousins
DESCRIPTION:A lively and provocative double biography of first cousins Eleanor Roosevelt and Alice Roosevelt Longworth\, two extraordinary women whose tangled lives provide a sweeping look at the twentieth century. \nWhen Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901\, his beautiful and flamboyant daughter was transformed into “Princess Alice\,” arguably the century’s first global celebrity. Thirty-two years later\, her first cousin Eleanor moved into the White House as First Lady. Born eight months and twenty blocks apart from each other in New York City\, Eleanor and Alice spent a large part of their childhoods together and were far more alike than most historians acknowledge. \nBut their politics and temperaments couldn’t have been more distinct. Do-gooder Eleanor was committed to social justice but hated the limelight; acid-tongued Alice\, who became the wife of philandering Republican congressman Nicholas Longworth\, was an opponent of big government who gained notoriety for her cutting remarks (she famously quipped that dour President Coolidge “looked like he was weaned on a pickle”). While Eleanor revolutionized the role of First Lady with her outspoken passion for human rights\, Alice made the most of her insider connections to influence politics\, including doing as much to defeat the League of Nations as anyone in elective office. \nThe cousins themselves liked to play up their oil-and-water relationship. “When I think of Frank and Eleanor in the White House I could grind my teeth to powder and blow them out my nose\,” Alice once said. In the 1930s they even wrote opposing syndicated newspaper columns and embarked on competing nationwide speaking tours. Blood may be thicker than water\, but when the family business is politics\, winning trumps everything. \nVivid\, intimate\, and stylishly written\, Hissing Cousins finally sets this relationship center stage\, revealing the contentious bond between two political trailblazers who short-circuited the rules of gender and power\, each in her own way.

SUMMARY:Mary Norris launches her debut Between You and Me\, Confessions of a Comma Queen
DESCRIPTION:The most irreverent and helpful book on language since the #1 New York Times bestseller Eats\, Shoots & Leaves.Mary Norris has spent more than three decades in The New Yorker’s copy department\, maintaining its celebrated high standards. Now she brings her vast experience\, good cheer\, and finely sharpened pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as full of life as it is of practical advice.Between You & Me features Norris’s laugh-out-loud descriptions of some of the most common and vexing problems in spelling\, punctuation\, and usage—comma faults\, danglers\, “who” vs. “whom\,” “that” vs. “which\,” compound words\, gender-neutral language—and her clear explanations of how to handle them. Down-to-earth and always open-minded\, she draws on examples from Charles Dickens\, Emily Dickinson\, Henry James\, and the Lord’s Prayer\, as well as from The Honeymooners\, The Simpsons\, David Foster Wallace\, and Gillian Flynn. She takes us to see a copy of Noah Webster’s groundbreaking Blue-Back Speller\, on a quest to find out who put the hyphen in Moby-Dick\, on a pilgrimage to the world’s only pencil-sharpener museum\, and inside the hallowed halls of The New Yorker and her work with such celebrated writers as Pauline Kael\, Philip Roth\, and George Saunders.

SUMMARY:Alice Eve Cohen reads from her new book The Year My Mother Came Back
DESCRIPTION:“A riveting journey . . . Funny\, painful\, absurd\, and heartwarming. Alice’s mother comes fully to life in all her complexity\, a woman of her times and ahead of her time. Alice’s own struggle to accept her imperfect self is a loving message to mothers who struggle to live life with grace. A beautiful book.” —Julie Metz\, New York Times bestselling author of Perfection \nThirty years after her death\, Alice’s mother appears to her\, seemingly in the flesh\, and continues to do so during the hardest year of parenting Alice has had to face. As it turns out\, it’s entirely possible for the people we’ve lost to come back to us when we need them the most. \nAlthough letting her mother back into her life is not an easy thing\, Alice navigates it with humor\, intelligence\, and honesty. What she learns is that she must revisit her childhood and allow herself to be a daughter once more in order to take care of her own girls. Eventually\, understanding and then forgiving her mother’s parenting transgressions leads her to accept herself and to realize that she doesn’t have to be perfect to be a good mother.

SUMMARY:Laura J. Snyder launches Eye of the Beholder
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable story of how an artist and a scientist in seventeenth-century Holland transformed the way we see the world.On a summer day in 1674\, in the small Dutch city of Delft\, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek—a cloth salesman\, local bureaucrat\, and self-taught natural philosopher—gazed through a tiny lens set into a brass holder and discovered a never-before imagined world of microscopic life. At the same time\, in a nearby attic\, the painter Johannes Vermeer was using another optical device\, a camera obscura\, to experiment with light and create the most luminous pictures ever beheld.“See for yourself!” was the clarion call of the 1600s. Scientists peered at nature through microscopes and telescopes\, making the discoveries in astronomy\, physics\, chemistry\, and anatomy that ignited the Scientific Revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses\, mirrors\, and camera obscuras\, creating extraordinarily detailed paintings of flowers and insects\, and scenes filled with realistic effects of light\, shadow\, and color. By extending the reach of sight the new optical instruments prompted the realization that there is more than meets the eye. But they also raised questions about how we see and what it means to see. In answering these questions\, scientists and artists in Delft changed how we perceive the world.In Eye of the Beholder\, Laura J. Snyder transports us to the streets\, inns\, and guildhalls of seventeenth-century Holland\, where artists and scientists gathered\, and to their studios and laboratories\, where they mixed paints and prepared canvases\, ground and polished lenses\, examined and dissected insects and other animals\, and invented the modern notion of seeing. With charm and narrative flair Snyder brings Vermeer and Van Leeuwenhoek—and the men and women around them—vividly to life. The story of these two geniuses and the transformation they engendered shows us why we see the world—and our place within it—as we do today.
