NEW AND NOTABLE RELEASES
Renegades: Born in the USA, by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen
Renegades is based on the Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama podcast, Higher Ground, a dialogue between two famous but different men.
They did not so much interview each other as engage in conversation: conversations between friends who became closer over the years despite their respective fame and busy schedules.
Now those conversations have transformed into a coffee table book featuring more than 350 photographs that range from intimate personal family portraits to all sorts of pop culture visual references.
Termination Shock: A Novel, by Neal Stephenson
Termination Shock is a technopolitical thriller tackling climate change in an all-too-convincing future just around the corner.
At first glance, this 700-page doorstop packed with scientific tidbits from every discipline might seem intimidating, but Neal Stephenson’s many fans know to expect a propulsive pace with a wild cast of memorable and entertaining characters, and an encyclopedia’s worth of thought-provoking concepts.
Stephenson’s novels may well be science fiction’s equivalent to Thomas Pynchon.
The Annotated Arabian Nights: Tales from 1001 Nights, by Yasmine Seale and Paulo Lemos Horta
This book is a brilliant new translation of the classic tales loved the world over. Combined with scholarly background information and beautiful design, this literary treasure will inspire readers of all ages.
