-Titulo Original : Index, A History Of The A Bookish Adventure From Medieval Manuscripts To The Digital Age-Fabricante : W. W. Norton & Company-Descripcion Original: A New York Times Notable Book and Editors Choice Book A TIME, Washington Post, and New Yorker Best Book of 2022 Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Literary Hub and Goodreads A playful history of the humble index and its outsized effect on our reading lives. Most of us give little thought to the back of the book it’s just where you go to look things up. But as Dennis Duncan reveals in this delightful and witty history, hiding in plain sight is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. In the pages of the index, we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. Here, for the first time, is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past. Charting its curious path from the monasteries and universities of thirteenth-century Europe to Silicon Valley in the twenty-first, Duncan uncovers how it has saved heretics from the stake, kept politicians from high office, and made us all into the readers we are today. We follow it through German print shops and Enlightenment coffee houses, novelists’ living rooms and university laboratories, encountering emperors and popes, philosophers and prime ministers, poets, librarians and of course indexers along the way. Revealing its vast role in our evolving literary and intellectual culture, Duncan shows that, for all our anxieties about the Age of Search, we are all index-rakers at heart and we have been for eight hundred years. 40 illustrations Review Smart, playful….Duncan has written such a generous book, attentive to the varieties of the reading experience. Jennifer Szalai, New York Times Erudite, eminently readable and wittily titled…[U]shers the reader smoothly, even soothingly, along a fascinating, immensely pleasurable journey through previously uncharted terrain. Margalit Fox, New York Times Book Review An adventure, and bookish in the most appealing sense…From ancient Egypt to Silicon Valley, Duncan is an ideal tour guide: witty, engaging, knowledgeable and a fount of diverting anecdotes. Steven Moore, Washington Post Gracefully learned, often witty and enlightening. Ben Yagoda, Wall Street Journal Engaging…Duncan draws rich parallels to anxieties surrounding our own age of search and makes an impassioned case for the continued relevance of the human-crafted index. The New Yorker Lively….Duncans enthusiasms are contagious. Alexandra Horowitz, Atlantic Entertaining and erudite…In an unexpectedly high-spirited book on indexes, the fun continues to the very last page. Barbara Spindel, Christian Science Monitor A learned and playful study, by British academic Dennis Duncan, of a textual machinery so successful it’s become almost invisible. Brian Dillon, 4Columns A decidedly fun history…Dennis Duncan’s enthusiasm for the subject matter shines through the many witticisms and illustrations as he shows how something so seemingly small has been so vital to western literature. Erica Ezeifedi, BookRiot Dennis Duncan’s history from Socrates to software along with Paula Clarke Bain’s peerless index, is witty and personable throughout, and also serves as a sneak attack on the search engine. It’s safe to say that you will never take an index for granted again. Mary Norris, author of Between You & Me and Greek to Me Enlightening and entertaining…Duncan mixes humor and scholarship to brilliant effect in this accessible deep dive. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Sparkles with geeky wit and shines with an infectious enthusiasm…Always erudite, frequently funny, and often surprising a treat for lovers of the book qua book.

-Titulo Original : Wild New World The Epic Story Of Animals And People In America-Fabricante : W. W. Norton & Company-Descripcion Original: A deep-time history of animals and humans in North America, by the best-selling and award-winning author of Coyote America. In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America’s known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent’s evolutionary richness. Distinguished author Dan Flores’s ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the “wild new world” of North America a place shaped both by its own grand evolutionary forces and by momentous arrivals from Asia, Africa, and Europe. With portraits of iconic creatures such as mammoths, horses, wolves, and bison, Flores describes the evolution and historical ecology of North America like never before. The arrival of humans precipitated an extraordinary disruption of this teeming environment. Flores treats humans not as a species apart but as a new animal entering two continents that had never seen our likes before. He shows how our long past as carnivorous hunters helped us settle America, initially establishing a coast-to-coast culture that lasted longer than the present United States. But humanity’s success had devastating consequences for other creatures. In telling this epic story, Flores traces the origins of today’s “Sixth Extinction” to the spread of humans around the world; tracks the story of a hundred centuries of Native America; explains how Old World ideologies precipitated 400 years of market-driven slaughter that devastated so many ancient American species; and explores the decline and miraculous recovery of species in recent decades. In thrilling narrative style, informed by genomic science, evolutionary biology, and environmental history, Flores celebrates the astonishing bestiary that arose on our continent and introduces the complex human cultures and individuals who hastened its eradication, studied America’s animals, and moved heaven and earth to rescue them. Eons in scope and continental in scale, Wild New World is a sweeping yet intimate Big History of the animal-human story in America. 40 illustrations and 4 maps Review Dan Flores has given us a searing and devastating accounting of what has been lost since humans first set foot in North America. This is environmental history at its best: gracefully written, filled with marvelous new details, and infused with a quiet fury that comes across as well-earned and long overdue. It belongs on the same shelf as Barry Lopez’s Of Wolves and Men. Nate Blakeslee, author of American Wolf This is a magnificent achievement a sweeping saga, spanning a continent and stretching across thousands of years, about the human relationship with the wild animals of North America. With his sharp eye for the telling detail and compelling anecdote, Dan Flores takes a deep dive into both history and science and weaves it all into an unfolding story that keeps you turning the pages. Analytical, yet brimming with passion, Wild New World chronicles the profound tragedy of what one species ours did to all the other species we encountered and delivers a message as urgent as it is ancient. Dayton Duncan, author of The National Parks: Americas Best Idea This is the best book I have read on Americans and the amazing wildlife of this amazing continent. Dan Flores is sweeping, bold, and eloquent, weaving together modern genetic science and traditional literature, people and nature, the history of biology and of laws and politics. He informs us about the world that was, the world we have destroyed, while immersing us in his own personal search for the world that is. An inspiring work Donald Worster, author of A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir Wild New World surveys Ame...

-Titulo Original : Strongmen Mussolini To The Present-Fabricante : W. W. Norton & Company-Descripcion Original: What modern authoritarian leaders have in common (and how they can be stopped). Ruth Ben-Ghiat is the expert on the strongman playbook employed by authoritarian demagogues from Mussolini to Putin enabling her to predict with uncanny accuracy the recent experience in America and Europe. In Strongmen, she lays bare the blueprint these leaders have followed over the past 100 years, and empowers us to recognize, resist, and prevent their disastrous rule in the future. For ours is the age of authoritarian rulers: self-proclaimed saviors of the nation who evade accountability while robbing their people of truth, treasure, and the protections of democracy. They promise law and order, then legitimize lawbreaking by financial, sexual, and other predators. They use masculinity as a symbol of strength and a political weapon. Taking what you want, and getting away with it, becomes proof of male authority. They use propaganda, corruption, and violence to stay in power. Vladimir Putin and Mobutu Sese Seko’s kleptocracies, Augusto Pinochet’s torture sites, Benito Mussolini and Muammar Gaddafi’s systems of sexual exploitation, and Silvio Berlusconi and Donald Trump’s relentless misinformation: all show how authoritarian rule, far from ensuring stability, is marked by destructive chaos. No other type of leader is so transparent about prioritizing self-interest over the public good. As one country after another has discovered, the strongman is at his worst when true guidance is most needed by his country. Recounting the acts of solidarity and dignity that have undone strongmen over the past 100 years, Ben-Ghiat makes vividly clear that only by seeing the strongman for what he is and by valuing one another as he is unable to do can we stop him, now and in the future. 24 illustrations Review A timely analysis of how a certain kind of charisma delivers political disaster. Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny Everyone who cares about American democracy should read this book. Sarah Kendzior, author of Hiding in Plain Sight What separates this book from the many others that examine tyrants and tyranny is the analysis that puts this phenomenon in perspective. David M. Shribman, Boston Globe Simultaneously intimate and sweeping in scope.…Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s clear prose rings with a rhythm and cadence that today’s nonfiction too often lacks. Sarah Chayes, author of On Corruption in America and Thieves of State Ruth Ben-Ghiat…specializes in male menace. Jon Blitzer, The New Yorker For the reader inured by the drip-drip-drip of stories of brazen corruption over the course of years, it is bracing to see a half-decade’s worth of reporting so carefully distilled.…Ben-Ghiat does not shy away from revealing America’s role in enabling dictatorships around the world.…It’s a chilling current through the book and one that pricks the conscience of a reader. Talia Lavin, Washington Post Ruth Ben-Ghiat delivers a superb examination of how close the US came to fascism and how it has propped it up before. Charles Kaiser, Guardian Ben-Ghiats portrayal of fascist-era tyrants, murderous Cold War dictators, and would-be tyrants in our own day gives us a gripping and illuminating picture of how strongmen have deployed violence, seduction, and corruption. History, she shows, offers clear lessons not only about how these regimes are built, but also how they must be opposed, and how they end. Daniel Ziblatt, co-author of How Democracies Die A surpassingly brilliant public intellectual. Virginia Heffernan, Slate Trumpcast Ben-Ghiat teaches us about the leaders.…[She] cogently states that the secret of the strongman is that he needs the crowds much more than they need him. Federico Finchelstein, New Republic Rich in anecdote.…Ms. Ben-Ghiat is at her most persuasive when she writes of the importance of the strongman’s cult of personality. Tunku Varadarajan, Wall Street Journal Deep insight and a vigo...
