SUMMARY:Sadek Wahba launches his debut\, Build: Investing in America's Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:America’s infrastructure—its essential roads\, bridges\, ports\, airports\, power grids\, and telecommunications systems—were once the pride of the nation and an example for the world. But now\, after years of neglect and oversight\, this infrastructure is crumbling and causing catastrophic changes in the US quality of life. Build seeks to explain how American infrastructure collapsed and what can be done to repair it. \nIn a series of colorful\, rarely told cases\, Build takes readers on a revealing tour behind the scenes of the successes and debacles of key infrastructure projects to show what works\, why the United States has failed in recent decades to invest in infrastructure\, and how the private sector can help revitalize the sector\, spur job growth\, and contribute to climate resilience. \nSadek Wahba examines the private origins of US infrastructure and the federally funded megaprojects that came after the New Deal\, investigating the role the private sector can and should play in building infrastructure. By drawing comparisons with systems in the United Kingdom\, France\, India\, and China\, Wahba shows that while privatization and public-private partnerships cannot solve all infrastructure challenges\, they are essential for closing funding gaps\, overcoming political paralysis\, and driving major infrastructure advances. \nBuild will appeal to readers interested in public finance\, domestic policy\, the role of the federal government\, tax policy\, and urban affairs.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth L. Block launches her new book Beyond Vanity
DESCRIPTION:In the nineteenth century\, the complex cultural meaning of hair was not only significant\, but it could also impact one’s place in society. After the Civil War\, hairdressing was also a growing profession and the hair industry a mainstay of local\, national\, and international commerce. In Beyond Vanity\, Elizabeth Block expands the nascent field of hair studies by restoring women’s hair as a cultural site of meaning in the early United States. With a special focus on the places and spaces in which the hair industry operated\, Block argues that the importance of hair has been overlooked due to its ephemerality as well as its misguided association with frivolity and triviality. As Block clarifies\, hairdressing was anything but frivolous. \nUsing methods of visual and material culture studies informed by concepts of cultural geography\, Block identifies multiple substantive categories of place and space within which hair acted. These include the preparatory places of the bedroom\, hair salon\, and enslaved peoples’ quarters\, as well as the presentation places of parties\, fairs\, stages\, and workplaces. Here are also the untold stories of business owners\, many of whom were women of color\, and the creators of trendsetting styles like the pompadour and Gibson Girl bouffant. Block’s ground-breaking study examines how race and racism affected who participated in the presentation and business of hair\, and according to which standards. The result of looking closely at the places and spaces of hair is a reconfiguration that allows a new understanding of the cultural power of hair in the period.

SUMMARY:Derek V. Schuster launches his first book Youth in Jeopardy
DESCRIPTION:In this complex world of today\, with so many “at risk” tweens and teens grappling with issues\, problems and crises\, can a fresh perspective on their trials and tribulations help to turn them around? \nShelves and shelves of books have been written about children who are at risk of violent and criminal behavior\, but their authors are writing from their academic perches – rather than addressing real experiences in the streets and in the homes of at-risk families. \nYouth in Jeopardy offers a practical alternative. Instead of presenting dry academic studies about the “at risk” population\, it draws on the author’s 20+ years of experience in violence prevention work in the Bronx and East Harlem. Filled with gut-wrenching anecdotes\, it delivers what parents\, therapists\, and teachers nationwide desperately seek: fresh\, practical approaches to violence prevention for rebellious tweens and teens.

SUMMARY:Elyssa Friedland launches her latest novel  Jackpot Summer
DESCRIPTION:The four Jacobson children were raised to respect the value of a dollar. Their mother reused tea bags and refused to pay retail; their father taught them to budget before he taught them to ride a bike. And yet\, now that they’re adults\, their financial lives are in disarray. \nThe siblings reunite when their newly widowed father puts their Jersey Shore beach house on the market. Packing up childhood memories isn’t easy\, especially when there’s other drama brewing. Matthew is miserable at his corporate law job and wishes he had more time with his son; Laura’s marriage is imploding in spectacular fashion; Sophie’s art career is stalled while her boyfriend’s is on the rise; and Noah’s total failure to launch has him doing tech repair for pennies. \nWhen Noah sees an ad for a Powerball drawing\, he and his sisters go in on tickets while their brother Matthew passes.  All hell breaks loose when one of the tickets is a winner and three of the four Jacobsons become overnight millionaires. Without their mother’s guidance\, and with their father busy playing pickleball in a Florida retirement village\, the once close-knit siblings search for comfort in shiny new toys instead of each other. \nIt’s not long before the Jacobsons start to realize that they’ll never feel rich unless they can pull their family back together.

SUMMARY:Amanda Bellows launches her latest book The Explorers
DESCRIPTION:The archetype of the American explorer\, a rugged white man\, has dominated our popular culture since the late eighteenth century\, when Daniel Boone’s autobiography captivated readers with tales of treacherous journeys. But our commonly held ideas about American exploration do not tell the whole story—far from it. \nThe Explorers rediscovers a diverse group of Americans who went to the western frontier and beyond\, traversing the farthest reaches of the globe and even penetrating outer space in their endeavor to find the unknown. Many escaped from lives circumscribed by racism\, sexism\, poverty\, and discrimination as they took on great risk in unfamiliar territory. \nAcross two centuries and many thousands of miles of terrain\, Amanda Bellows offers an ode to our country’s most intrepid adventurers—and reveals the history of America in the process.

SUMMARY:Colum McCann & Diane Foley signing copies of  American Mother
DESCRIPTION:In late 2021\, Diane Foley sat at a table across from her son’s killer\, Alexanda Kotey\, a member of the ISIS group known as “The Beatles” who plead guilty to the kidnapping\, torture\, and murder of her son seven years before. Kotey was about to go serve life imprisonment and this was Diane’s chance to talk to the man who had been involved with brutally taking her son’s last breath. What would she say to his killer? What would he reveal to her? Might she even be able to summon forgiveness for him? \nSo begins American Mother— which reads alternately like a thriller\, a biography\, a mystery\, a memoir\, and a literary examination of grace. \nDiane looks back on the early days when Jim was a child and his journey to journalism\, and the killing fields of the world where he reports with indefatigable determination and insight on the plight of those caught up in the agonies of war. She guides us through her family history and the difficulties they faced when Jim was captured. And she also charts the tenacity it takes to turn her grief into grace as she seeks to give voice to those who are still being kidnapped and wrongfully detained around the world.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Vineyard Folk with authors Amanda Benchley & Tamara Weiss
DESCRIPTION:Vineyard Folk leads us on an intimate journey into the lives and inspirational places of some of the many talented artists who have always helped make up the larger community of Martha’s Vineyard. The island\, located just seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod\, has a long history as geographic muse. Lilian Hellman and William Styron wrote overlooking the Vineyard Haven harbor\, and Thomas Hart Benton–whose influence is still felt in island painters today–depicted the stone walls and winding roads of what is known as “up-island” more than a hundred years ago. \nNow\, a new generation continues to build on these creative legacies\, inspired by the island’s diaphanous light\, endless beaches\, historic towns\, and rolling fields and vistas. Vineyard Folk features painters\, potters\, poets\, musicians\, writers\, and actors and the unique ways they work\, live\, and play here. From Tiffany Vanderhoop’s hand-beaded earrings based on original Wampanoag designs\, to Julie Taymor’s works inspired by the nature around her to Micah Thanhauser’s pottery made from the island’s natural clay and Allen Whiting’s pastoral scenes of his farm\, each page is filled with island treasures.

SUMMARY:*Morning Event* Dr. Kelly Fradin launches her debut Advanced Parenting
DESCRIPTION:Any parent who has ever walked out of a concerning appointment with their child’s doctor or teacher has experienced a heady mix of emotions–fear\, love\, confusion\, concern\, sadness\, and perhaps even anger. While every parent hopes for a healthy child\, the reality is that children face many common challenges\, including medical issues like ADHD\, asthma\, food allergies\, feeding issues\, learning disabilities\, anxiety and depression\, and developmental delays\, throughout their formative years. As the role of a parent becomes one of a caregiver\, it can be overwhelming for parents and children alike\, particularly if money\, time\, access\, or any combination of those are in short supply. \nAs a balm\, Dr. Kelly Fradin offers Advanced Parenting\, based on her experience as a complex-care pediatrician. In this crucial guide\, parents will find empathy and support as well as evidence-based practical guidance. Of greatest import is the need for tools with which to manage the emotional stress that comes from having a child who deviates from the norm\, as well as coping with uncertainty and navigating the business of care. Readers will discover ways to optimize the outcomes for their family and make their day-to-day life easier.

SUMMARY:Mark Goldsmith launches his book From Madison Avenue to Rikers Island
DESCRIPTION:Mark Goldsmith enjoyed a 35-year career in the cosmetic business\, managing household name brands during Madison Avenue’s Mad Men heyday. Looking for new challenges in retirement\, Goldsmith took his wife’s suggestion to volunteer for the Principal for a Day program\, specifically asking to be sent to the toughest New York City school available–which turned out to be Horizon Academy at the city’s infamous Rikers Island jail.

This passion ultimately led to the creation of his not-for-profit organization Getting Out and Staying Out (GOSO)\, which has helped thousands of young men pursue their goals for their education\, employment\, and emotional well-being to create a new life for themselves beyond the criminal justice system.

SUMMARY:Sydney Stern Launches Her Latest Book The Brothers Mankiewicz
DESCRIPTION:Herman J. (1897-1953) and Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909-1993) wrote\, produced\, and directed over 150 pictures. With Orson Welles\, Herman wrote the screenplay for Citizen Kane and shared the picture’s only Academy Award. Joe earned the second pair of his four Oscars for writing and directing All About Eve\, which also won Best Picture. Despite triumphs as diverse as Monkey Business and Cleopatra and Pride of the Yankees and Guys and Dolls\, the witty\, intellectual brothers spent their Hollywood years deeply discontented and yearning for what they did not have–a career in New York theater. For this first dual portrait of the Mankiewicz brothers\, Sydney Ladensohn Stern draws on interviews\, letters\, diaries\, and other documents still in private hands to provide a uniquely intimate behind-the-scenes chronicle of the lives\, loves\, work\, and relationship between these complex men.

SUMMARY:Shirley Mueller launches her debut Inside the Head of a Collector
DESCRIPTION:Collecting objects gives enormous pleasure to approximately one third of the population\, providing such benefits as intellectual stimulation\, the thrill of the chase\, and leaving a legacy. On the other hand\, the same pursuit can engender pain; for example\, paying too much for an object\, unknowingly buying a fake\, or dealing with the frustrations of collection dispersal. Until recently\, there was no objective way to enhance the positive (pleasure) aspects of collecting and minimize the negative (pain). Now\, for the first time\, scientific research in neuro- and behavioral economics gives us a way to turn this around. The contents of this book are cutting edge\, unique and sure to get attention. Mueller breaks new ground in an area not previously explored. Her information is relevant not only for collectors\, but also for colleges\, and universities which teach collection management\, plus museum staff who interact with collectors and dealers of objects desired by collectors. Heavily illustrated with ceramics from Mueller’s collection and packed with useful information\, this book will become a required vital resource.
