Dear Memory
"Groundbreaking . . . Chang's lyrical experiment memorably evokes an individual family's time capsule and an artist's timeless yearning to shape carbon dust into incandescent gem." —NPRNow in paperback, from the poet who “resurrects mediums” (The Millions), a collection of literary letters and mementos on the art of remembering across generations. For Victoria Chang, memory “isn’t something that blooms, but something that bleeds internally.” It is willed, summoned, and dragged to the surface. The remembrances in this collection of letters are founded in the fragments of stories her mother shared reluctantly and in the silences of her father. They are whittled and sculpted from an archive of family relics: a marriage license, a letter, a visa petition, a photograph. And, just as often, they are built on questions that can no longer be answered. Dear Memory is not a transcription but a process of shaping and being shaped, knowing that when a writer dips their pen into history, what emerges is poetry. In letters to family, past teachers, fellow poets, and to the imagination itself, Victoria Chang offers a model for what it looks like to find ourselves in our histories.
Washington Is Burning
Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump's Washington - a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation's political system. Graft and self-interest have long typified both Democratic and Republican administrations. Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-read account of unedifying practices in the US capital.

Unsung Heroines
Why are there so few public monuments honoring women? Unsung Heroines shows it's time to claim that space!Women are grossly underrepresented in all of the Bay Area's public spaces, but not because they didn't exist! Did you know about Charlotte Brown, a Black woman in San Francisco who in 1863 took the city's transportation system to court for forcibly removing her from a streetcar, and won her landmark case? How about the first Chinese-American woman to register to vote, Clara Chan Lee, who went on to start the Chinese Women's Self-Reliance Association? Or Barbara May Cameron, a Native American writer, photographer, and activist who co-founded the first gay American Indian liberation organization? How many other notable women who deserve public recognition have been written out of the history of our regio? rawn from award-winning journalist Rae Alexandra's KQED Arts & Culture series, "Rebel Girls From Bay Area History," Unsung Heroines is a collection of 35 short profiles honoring the contributions of a diverse group of women from San Francisco, the East Bay, and the greater Bay Area, from the very first years of the founding of San Francisco to the present day. Educators and organizers, adventurers and entertainers, these inspiring women had a profound impact on our region. Together, their stories constitute a new telling of the history of Northern California from the vantagepoint of women who made a difference. A reader's perspective will be permanently altered by the realization of just how many of these untold stories have been lost to time, encouraging them to scan their own environment for traces of women whose stories deserve to be recovered and told.
The Society of the Screen
How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilem Flusser s early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens. Predicting the importance of technology and images in the twenty-first century as early as the 1970s, Vilem Flusser warned, the basic structure of our thinking is about to experience a mutation. The bewitching images and screens that surround us could lead toward a centrally programmed, totalitarian society or another, better one characterized by dialogue and collaboration among humans and new forms of intelligence. In this book on the idiosyncratic and prescient Czech-Brazilian philosopher, art historian and critic Martha Schwendener explores the profound effect of art on Flusser s thought. The Society of the Screen reveals how Flusser s lifelong engagement with experimental practices from abstract painting and concrete poetry in Brazil to video, cybernetics, and photography in Europe and the United States as well as his extensive involvement with the Sao Paulo Biennial informed his belief that we were moving from history a civilization informed by linear writing into post-history, dominated by technical images. The book delves deeply into how Flusser s ideas evolved, particularly in correspondence and collaboration with artists like Mira Schendel, Fred Forest, Wen-Ying Tsai, Harun Farocki, Louis Bec, and Karl Gerstner.

Hříšníku, stůj!
Kniha přináší ojedinělý pohled na spirituály - písně z dob otroctví v celé své syrové kráse a zbožnosti - v nových převodech Michala Bystrova. Tento hudební žánr zrozený z utrpení afroamerických otroků je u nás známý především díky Spirituál kvintetu, který tyto písně naděje, víry a bolesti proslavil tak, že mnohé zlidověly. Na rozdíl od jejich volných adaptací se Bystrov pokouší zachytit původní tragický kontext, přísnou zbožnost a těsné vazby na texty Starého a Nového zákona. Přesto i jemu se místy nedaří udržet vážnou tvář - zejména v oddílech věnovaných biblickým prorokům vtip a fantazie prorážejí na povrch. Publikace je doplněna konkrétními pasážemi z Bible, které tvoří nedílnou součást duchovního poselství spirituálů.
Jak dodává autor předmluvy Jiří Tichota, u překladů lidových písní nejde jen o doslovnost, ale i o zachování něčeho nevyslovitelného - rozpoložení původního autora, jedinečnosti slovních obrazů a genia loci. Bystrovova kniha obsahuje volné převody bezmála 150 prapůvodních spirituálů, které jsou určeny nejen ke čtení, ale i ke zpívání. Písně zrozené z řetězů tak mohou ve své kráse a smutku znít i dnes.
Fungi and Human Life
The incredible, hidden role of fungi in our livesFrom beneficial yeasts that aid digestion to toxic molds that cause disease, we are constantly navigating a world filled with fungi. Fungi and Human Life explores the amazing ways fungi interact with our bodies, showing how our health and well-being depend on an immense ecosystem of yeasts and molds inside and all around us. Nicholas Money takes readers on a guided tour of a marvelous unseen realm, describing how our immune systems are engaged in continuous conversation with the teeming mycobiome inside the body, and how we can fall prey to serious and even life-threatening infections when this peaceful coexistence is disturbed. He also sheds light on our complicated relationship with fungi outside the body, from wild mushrooms and cultivated molds that have been staples of the human diet for millennia to the controversial experimentation with magic mushrooms in the treatment of depression. Drawing on the latest advances in mycology, Fungi and Human Life reveals what scientists are learning about the importance of fungi to our lives, from their vital role in supporting the ecosystems on which we depend to their emerging uses in lifesaving medicine.

The Layered Home
'I often think about the Albert Hadley pointer that "a room should feel collected, not decorated", writes Benjamin Raynaert in his new book, before taking us on a tour of British, European and American homes that embody this idea.... Benjamin has insightful conversations with the creative individuals behind these spaces - who also offer tips on how to master the seemingly effortless layered look.' House & Garden'If you choose one playbook rule, let this be your guide: Layers plus personalization is the combination that creates absolute spatial magic. Nothing else comes close.' Benjamin RaynaertTo magazine editor and stylist Benjamin Reynaert, more is more when it comes to the home. The more patterns and colours combined, the more preloved pieces scooped up at the right time, the more surfaces to display treasured objects, the more a house will feel like home. Layers are key to achieving this maximalist alchemy. It's not a look that can be bought all at once, but one developed over time, leisurely and with intention, as you stay mindful of your space's personality. Most of all, layering a home requires listening to and respecting your own instincts and taste. To help train your eye, Benjamin takes you on a journey through exquisitely decorated homes lived in by creative and curious people. From the UK and France to the USA, these homes artfully integrate patterns, colours, textures, art, furniture, and objects to create interiors that are as unique as the people who live in them. More than 200 photographs capture home tours of stunning maximalist homes, and Benjamin's interviews with his favourite tastemakers reveal tips and tricks on collecting, arranging objects, and modifying rooms over time. Brimming with beauty and smart advice, The Layered Home shares how to curate interiors filled with warmth and endless visual interest by embracing abundance, imperfection, and craft. The end result: a gorgeous home that tells your unique story.
El Iluminado
In this entertaining, thought-provoking detective graphic novel set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a fictional Ilan Stavans seeks to solve a murder and locate a lost manuscript by a prominent 16th-century Crypto-Jew burned at the stake by the Spanish Inquisition. When young Rolando Perez falls to his death from a cliff outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, the mysteries immediately begin to accumulate. Was he pushed or did he jump? What might Rolando have been so desperate to protect that he would sacrifice himself? And what does a colorful concha pastry have to do with any of thi? n the midst of the investigation, Professor Ilan Stavans arrives in Santa Fe to give a lecture about the area’s long-buried Jewish history. He’s looking forward to relaxing afterward with an evening at the opera, but his presentation on “crypto-Jews” attracts unexpected attention, and soon Ilan is drawn into a desperate race to find the long-lost documents that might hold the key to Rolando’s death. His amateur sleuthing leads him to taco joints, desert ranches, soaring cathedrals, and, finally, deep into the region’s past, where he encounters Luis de Carvajal, also called “El Iluminado.” In a sixteenth-century tale of martyrdom that eerily echoes Rolando’s, Carvajal fled Spain for colonial Mexico at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, searching for his religious heritage—a hunt for which he, like Rolando, would pay the ultimate price. In El Iluminado, esteemed literary critic Ilan Stavans and author and illustrator Steve Sheinkin present a secret history of religion in the Americas, showing how thousands of European refugees have left a trail of ghostly footprints—and troves of mysteries—across the American Southwest. This paperback edition includes a new afterword recounting the amazing events that occurred after the original publication, including the real-life discovery of the long-lost memoir of Luis de Carvajal and its restoration to Mexico.
