Overview
This remarkable exploration of drawing as a medium in resurgence unites a global range of contemporary artists. Subverting its former role as a primarily preparatory medium, drawing is enjoying a resurgence among contemporary artists and students. Pushing paper examines why drawing has not only endured, but continues to thrive as an artistic expression. 56 works, produced between the 1970s and the present day, are used to explore the vital and fundamental nature of drawing. Themes such as place and space, and power and protest, offer new lenses through which to view these major artists. Supported by the Bridget Riley Art Foundation, this book explores the work of the world’s most important contemporary artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Richard Deacon, Tracey Emin, David Hockney, Anish Kapoor, Anselm Kiefer, Cornelia Parker, Sol LeWitt, Grayson Perry, Bridget Riley, Imran Qureshi, and Rachel Whiteread, as well as exciting works by new and emerging artists, such as Hamid Sulaiman and Rachel Duckhouse. Sure to appeal to admirers of drawing, and to artists and students alike, Pushing paper provides an arresting analysis of the status of drawing in the world of contemporary art.

Overview
A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads —Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller Chris Wallace (Countdown 1945) delivers a riveting account of a contentious election that holds a mirror to our country today. A riveting new work and fresh take on the lead-up to the presidential election of 1960, drawing timely parallels to the choice Americans face in 2024 It’s January 2, 1960: the day that Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy declared his candidacy; and with this opening scene, Chris Wallace offers readers a front-row seat to history. From the challenge of primary battles in a nation that had never elected a Catholic president, to the intense machinations of the national conventions—where JFK chose Lyndon Johnson as his running mate over the impassioned objections of his brother Bobby—this is a nonfiction political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting. Like with many popular histories, readers may be familiar with the story, but few will know the behind-the-scenes details, told here with gripping effect. Featuring some of history’s most remarkable characters, page-turning action, and vivid details, Countdown 1960 follows a group of extraordinary politicians, civil rights leaders, Hollywood stars, labor bosses, and mobsters during a pivotal year in American history. The election of 1960 ushered in the modern era of presidential politics, with televised debates, private planes, and slick advertising. In fact, television played a massive role. More than 70 million Americans watched one or all four debates. The public turned to television to watch campaign rallies. And on the night of the election, the contest between Kennedy and Nixon was so close that Americans were glued to their televisions long after dawn to see who won. The election of 1960 holds stunning parallels to our current political climate. There were—potentially valid—claims of voter fraud and a stolen election. There was also a presidential candidate faced with the decision of whether to contest the result or honor the peaceful transfer of power.

Overview
Joana E. és la història que va voler escriure Maria-Antònia Oliver després de conèixer na Joana. Com també va voler que fos en veu de na Joana, i no de qui escrivia, que ens fos contada; amb el seu propi llenguatge, la seva manera d'explicar-se, els seus dubtes, contradiccions, moments de felicitat i moments de misèria, amb la seva pròpia por i la seva indignació, amb les coses que va voler contar i les que va amagar, amb la ingenuïtat, la saviesa, la racionalitat i la passió amb que ella s'exterioritzava.

Overview
Xenophons Anabasis: The March of the Ten Thousand is a gripping firsthand account of the ancient Greek military expedition led by Cyrus the Younger in 401 BC. The book is written in a clear and straightforward style, detailing the hardships, victories, and betrayals faced by the Greek mercenaries as they marched through hostile territory to reach the Black Sea. Xenophons narrative offers valuable insights into leadership, strategies of war, and the complexities of ancient Greek politics. The military terminology and descriptions of battles give readers a vivid picture of the challenges encountered by the Ten Thousand. Xenophon, an Athenian historian and philosopher, participated in the expedition and played a crucial role in leading the Greek soldiers after the death of Cyrus. His personal experiences and observations provide a unique perspective on the events depicted in the book. Xenophons background as a student of Socrates also influences his philosophical reflections on leadership and the nature of virtue. I highly recommend Anabasis: The March of the Ten Thousand to readers interested in ancient history, military campaigns, and leadership. Xenophons narrative is not only informative but also engaging, offering a fascinating account of a legendary march that continues to inspire scholars and military strategists today.
