Stanley Spencer
Finding inspiration in his quiet village on the river Thames, early 20th-century painter Stanley Spencer drew on his familiar world to arrive at an art of epic grandeur--though often homely and weird. Biographer Fiona MacCarthy investigates Spencer's life, sets his work in its cultural context, and emphasizes the links between his life and his paintings--and sheds new light on this sensitive and enigmatic artist. 85 color and 30 b&w illustrations. .
Lars and Little Olduvai
How can a man and his son enrich their relationship-and add to scientific history? The Feltons did just that-by expanding with imagination the unremarkable universe of a tidemarsh salt flat near the boat harbor where the newly-divorced writer lived with his younger son. Lars Felton-aged ten, and already a protege in the public eye through winning national prizes in science-equaled his dad's energy in bringing the Rift Valley discoveries of the Leakeys as models for their own research realm. Their discoveries soon involved a wide scope of Native American lore-and all because they chose to see the commonplace as extraordinary. Lars and Little Olduvai is a triumph of intellectual curiosity over the limitations of our everyday lives. Mysteries resolve with huge reward for the two amateur anthropologists.

People's History of Silicon Valley
Regardless of where you live or work, Silicon Valley undoubtedly touches your life-the tech industry's gadgets and apps promise us more efficient, convenient, and fun lives. Yet despite Silicon Valley's utopian promises, more and more of us find ourselves addicted to our smartphones, made insecure by social media, gentrified away by tech wealth, and alarmed at social media companies profiting off personal data. This succinct guide follows Silicon Valley and the tech industry from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day, tracing how Silicon Valley changed the San Francisco Bay Area, changed human culture, and ultimately changed the way we think about ourselves. From the first Macintosh to the rise of social media, A Brief History of Silicon Valley peels back the curtain on an industry that brands itself as visionary but which may be swiftly hurtling us towards dystopia.
