They Write Your Name on a Grain of Rice: On Cancer, Love, and Living Even So Jakiela Lori

They Write Your Name on a Grain of Rice is much more than a cancer memoir. It's a meditation on living. It's a pause between polarities. Cancer is almost an afterthought. Inspired by Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, it celebrates the tiny moments that spotlight the miracle of being alive, the messiness of being human.Rice is a weirdly funny book about mortality. It's about family, genetics, nature vs. nurture, the Rust Belt, EPA clean-up zones, and more. Modeled on the work of stream-of-consciousness writers (Richard Brautigan, Virginia Woolf, Hunter S. Thompson), the book explores the way a mind works-complete with leaps and spirals-while reflecting on a life thoroughly lived against a dire breast cancer

Machiavelli's Virtue Mansfield Harvey C.

Uniting thirty years of authoritative scholarship by a master of textual detail, Machiavelli's Virtue is a comprehensive statement on the founder of modern politics. Harvey Mansfield reveals the role of sects in Machiavelli's politics, his advice on how to rule indirectly, and the ultimately partisan character of his project, and shows him to be the founder of such modern and diverse institutions as the impersonal state and the energetic executive. Accessible and elegant, this groundbreaking interpretation explains the puzzles and reveals the ambition of Machiavelli's thought. "The book brings together essays that have mapped [Mansfield's] paths of reflection over the past thirty years. . . . The ground, one would think, is ancient and familiar, but Mansfield manages to draw out some understandings, or recognitions, jarringly new."-Hadley Arkes, New Criterion

Rausz. Niemcy między wojnami

Niemcy w 1918 roku: koniec Wielkiej Wojny, rewolucja, zwycięstwo demokracji, a przy tym triumf wyzwolonego życia. Inflacja wstrząsa tradycyjnymi wartościami. Wszystko ma być zasadniczo inne: „nowa kobieta”, „nowy mężczyzna”, „nowe życie”, „nowe myślenie”. Kobiety obcinają włosy, wychodzą wieczorami, podbijają tory wyścigowe i korty tenisowe. Nie myślą już o zamążpójściu. Unisex staje się modny i eksperymentalny.W połowie lat dwudziestych, kiedy gospodarka niezwykle przyspiesza, Niemcy stają się innym krajem. Harald Jähner opowiada o wynalazku czasu wolnego, o halach bokserskich i pałacach tańca, o powstaniu nowoczesnych biur i o ruchu wielkomiejskim, o domach towarowych jako obietnicy szczęścia oraz ulicy jako miejscu zaciętych walk.Jednak w miarę pogłębiania się kryzysu od początku lat trzydziestych, przyszłość staje się coraz bardziej ponura, a w społeczeństwie uwidaczniają się głębokie podziały i niemożność ich zniesienia.„Rausz” Haralda Jähnera to swoisty prequel bestsellerowego „Czasu wilka”.

Your Brain Cells Sing When They Die Hart Carina

YOUR BRAIN CELLS SING WHEN THEY DIE is a loving excoriation of the structures that shape our thoughts, desires and days. Its surreal satire begins in the office, taking in the language of bureaucracy and a collision of administrative forms with poetic forms: a lyric to lost love is recast as a meeting agenda, and a suicide note takes the form of a sonnet-memo hybrid. Just when personal desires have been turned into binary code, individual agency is set against the collective perspective of the beehive. As the bees try out banking and Instagram, people sink into the footprint path leading them round Ikea. This memorable debut is both spiky and tender, exposing the skeleton of the everyday with dark irony and ruthless

War, Work, and Want: How the OPEC Oil Crisis Caused Mass Migration and Revolution Hansen Randall

An expansive history of how an economic shock a half century ago created a world that is addicted to mass migration.The oil shock of 1973 changed everything. It brought the golden age of American and European economic growth to an end; it destabilized Middle Eastern politics; and it set in train processes that led to over one hundred million unexpected--and unwanted--immigrants.In War, Work, and Want, Randall Hansen asks why, against all expectations, global migration tripled after 1970. The answer, he argues, lies in how the OPEC Oil crisis transformed the global economy, Middle Eastern geopolitics and, as a consequence, international migration. The quadrupling of oil prices and attendant inflation destroyed economic growth in the West while flooding the Middle East with oil money. American and European consumers, their wealth drained, rebuilt their
