Book Description
Andrew L. Yarrow tells the story of Look magazine, one of the greatest mass-circulation publications in American history, and the very different United States in which it existed. The all-but-forgotten magazine had an extraordinary influence on mid-twentieth-century America, not only by telling powerful, thoughtful stories and printing outstanding photographs but also by helping to create a national conversation around a common set of ideas and ideals. Yarrow describes how the magazine covered the United States and the world, telling stories of people and trends, injustices and triumphs, and included essays by prominent Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Margaret Mead. It did not shy away from exposing the country’s problems, but it always believed that those problems could be solved. Look, which was published from 1937 to 1971 and had about 35 million readers at its peak, was an astute observer with a distinctive take on one of the greatest eras in U.S. history—from winning World War II and building immense, increasingly inclusive prosperity to celebrating grand achievements and advancing the rights of Black and female citizens. Because the magazine shaped Americans’ beliefs while guiding the country through a period of profound social and cultural change, this is also a story about how a long-gone form of journalism helped make America better and assured readers it could be better still.

Book Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. "Motherhood is bound both to life's joy and death's ether, which complicates a woman's relationship to her own body's emotional and physical permeablity. In LOOK LOOK LOOK Callista Buchen writes beautiful prose fragments about and the tendrils that bind her to motherhood and that intersection with mortality. This moving collection situates motherhood as a climate, a destination and reminds us that many of the connections bodies make are often as ephemeral as 'clouds made of mouths.'"--Carmen Gimenez Smith "Drawing from surrealism, the grotesque, and even horror, Callista Buchen's LOOK LOOK LOOK explores how alien one's own body--one's own self--becomes through pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. In these prose poems, Buchen's mother-speaker 'build[s] and dissolve[s],' is both 'double and half.' The line between self and other, the line between construction and deconstruction, and '[t]he line between making and being made' have never felt so thin, so permeable. This is a profound book of poems."--Maggie Smith "In this ravishingly honest collection of prose poems, Callista Buchen look look looks at every facet of mothering, from child loss to childbirth, from loss of self and alienation from the body to a hard-won and completely unsentimental empowerment--mother as process; 'mother as birthplace, where woman becomes location.' The poems are often dimly lit as a diorama or a womb. They embrace pregnancy's darkness, the monstrous cleaving of the birthing body, the milky flood of nursing, and the complex grief of the self that is estranged in the making of another human being. The poems have the rhythm and image-centeredness of ritual; even the book's title is a trinity, suggesting the multifocality of women's experience and functioning as an entreaty for the reader to look, please. When the speaker comes into her authority it arrives less with triumph than with danger: 'There isn't a dam you can build that I can't break. Charisma, chiasma, power. See what I will do.' This is a book about mothering like no book about mothering that has ever been mothered forth."--Diane Seuss "A mother is full of cracks, this vessel. 'Everywhere tears, everywhere salt,' writes Callista Buchen's in her stunning debut collection, LOOK LOOK LOOK. In these poems, Buchen does not look away from motherhood, body, or loss--but stares directly in its eyes. These stirring poems radiate both the beauty and burn of being a mother, two selves of a woman--they meditate, Your body is not your own. LOOK LOOK LOOK brings us, birthed and swaddled, the poems we need in the world right now. This incredible collection is fed by an honesty and a fierceness mothers and women know deep inside them--I am so dangerous. I cannot remember the last time I finished a collection and wanted to return to the start to read it again--but this is that book. I will return to these poems for years. I cannot recommend this book enough."--Kelli Russell Agodon

Book Description
As heard on NPR's "Science Friday," discover the book recommended by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink, and Adam Grant: an "accessible, informative, and hilarious" introduction to the weird and wonderful world of artificial intelligence (Ryan North). "You look like a thing and I love you" is one of the best pickup lines ever . . . according to an artificial intelligence trained by scientist Janelle Shane, creator of the popular blog AI Weirdness. She creates silly AIs that learn how to name paint colors, create the best recipes, and even flirt (badly) with humans—all to understand the technology that governs so much of our daily lives. We rely on AI every day for recommendations, for translations, and to put cat ears on our selfie videos. We also trust AI with matters of life and death, on the road and in our hospitals. But how smart is AI really... and how does it solve problems, understand humans, and even drive self-driving cars? Shane delivers the answers to every AI question you've ever asked, and some you definitely haven't. Like, how can a computer design the perfect sandwich? What does robot-generated Harry Potter fan-fiction look like? And is the world's best Halloween costume really "Vampire Hog Bride"? In this smart, often hilarious introduction to the most interesting science of our time, Shane shows how these programs learn, fail, and adapt—and how they reflect the best and worst of humanity. You Look Like a Thing and I Love You is the perfect book for anyone curious about what the robots in our lives are thinking. "I can't think of a better way to learn about artificial intelligence, and I've never had so much fun along the way." —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals
