The Huxleys
A New Yorker and Economist Best Book of the Year Two hundred years of modern science and culture told through one family history. This momentous biography tells the story of the Huxleys: the Victorian natural historian T. H. Huxley (“Darwin’s Bulldog”) and his grandson, the scientist, conservationist, and zoologist Julian Huxley. Between them, they communicated to the world the great modern story of the theory of evolution by natural selection. In The Huxleys, celebrated historian Alison Bashford writes seamlessly about these omnivorous intellects together, almost as if they were a single man whose long, vital life bookended the colossal shifts in world history from the age of sail to ...
I Was Interrupted
One of the most original, rebellious, and idiosyncratic directors in the American cinema, Nicholas Ray lived and worked with an intensity equal to that of his films. Best known for his direction of James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), he is also well regarded for his cult western Johnny Guitar (1954), and such prestigious noir classics as On Dangerous Ground (1951). I Was Interrupted offers a provocative selection of the filmmaker's writings, lectures, interviews, and more.
Live Fast, Die Young
The complete story behind the groundbreaking film Rebel Without a Cause is vividly revealed in this fascinating book as provocative as the film itself. The revolutionary film Rebel Without a Cause has had a profound impact on both moviemaking and youth culture since its 1955 release, virtually giving birth to our concept of the American teenager. And the making of the movie was just as explosive for those involved. Against a backdrop of the Atomic Age and an old Hollywood studio system on the verge of collapse, four of Hollywood's most passionate artists had a cataclysmic and immensely influential meeting. James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and director Nicholas Ray were each at a crucial ...
Comes the Dawn
In a matter of hours the unthinkable nightmare of biological, chemical and nuclear warfare has ravaged the world. For millions it meant instant death, for others, a slow, agonizing, painful death from fallout and short lived viruses. A hundred years of civilization gone and the earth is now covered with a layer of dust squeezing out the life giving rays of the sun. Only pockets of survivors are left, each trying to scratch out an existence anyway they can. It meant hardships of every kind while stockpiling supplies and fighting off roving bands of those that thought nothing of raping and killing to get what they wanted. The struggle was just beginning for Captain Randolph (Randy) Winters and his Titan II ICBM missile crew, located in western Kansas. This is the story of a handful of men and women who survived the terrible holocaust and found the courage to do whatever it took to stay alive while still maintaining some sort of civilized order. Secluded and sometimes completely cut off from the outside world. In their underground missile complex, they are put to the ultimate test of surviving against all odds.
Favorite Wife

Rebel Without a Cause
Assesses the layered meanings and persistent global legacy of an American film classic.
Friending the Past
Can today’s society, increasingly captivated by a constant flow of information, share a sense of history? How did our media-making forebears balance the tension between the present and the absent, the individual and the collective, the static and the dynamic—and how do our current digital networks disrupt these same balances? Can our social media, with its fleeting nature, even be considered social at all? In Friending the Past, Alan Liu proposes fresh answers to these innovative questions of connection. He explores how we can learn from the relationship between past societies whose media forms fostered a communal and self-aware sense of history—such as prehistorical oral societies wit...
