The Downfall of the American Order?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peter Katzenstein & Jonathan Kirshner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longtime Cornell faculty members co-edit this collection of essays<\/a> by prominent scholars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Katzenstein is the Walter S. Carpenter Jr. Professor of International Studies; Kirshner is the Stephen and Barbara Friedman Professor of International Political Economy, Emeritus.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by Cornell University Press, the book<\/a> explores the current state of world affairs and the U.S.\u2019s declining influence on the global stage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It contemplates the impact of such landmark events as the financial crisis of 2008, the long military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Donald Trump\u2019s polarizing presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is hard to find a better range of leading scholars than [the editors] have gathered in this book to weigh up the end of Pax Americana\u2014perhaps the most important theme of our age,\u201d a Financial Times<\/em> columnist says in a blurb. \u201cThis is a clear-eyed, analytically incisive, and compellingly relevant book for our times.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ocean State<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stewart O\u2019Nan, MFA \u201992<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I was in eighth grade my sister helped kill another girl,\u201d O\u2019Nan writes in his novel\u2019s arresting first lines. \u201cShe was in love, my mother said, like it was an excuse. She didn\u2019t know what she was doing. I had never been in love then, not really, so I didn\u2019t know what my mother meant, but I do now.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in 2009<\/a> in a blue-collar town on the Rhode Island coast, it tells the wrenching tale of the murder of a high school student from the perspectives of not only the victim and the killer, but also the killer\u2019s mother and younger sister.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"the<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Ocean State<\/em>, O\u2019Nan is subverting the thriller, borrowing its momentum to propel this bracing, chilling novel,\u201d says a New York Times<\/em> review, adding that the book \u201cis a map for the emotional dead ends of America, where kids kill other kids over seemingly nothing. O\u2019Nan understands that at least in the moment, it is for everything.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Nan\u2019s previous novels<\/a> include the bestselling Last Night at the Lobster<\/em> (a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize) as well as Wish You Were Here<\/em>, Everyday People<\/em>, In the Walled City<\/em>, and The Speed Queen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All About Birds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This series of regional field guides<\/a> comes in seven volumes: Northeast<\/em>, Southeast<\/em>, Midwest<\/em>, Northwest<\/em>, Southwest<\/em>, Texas & Oklahoma<\/em>, and California<\/em>. Published by Princeton University Press, they\u2019re based on information from the Lab\u2019s All About Birds<\/a> website, visited by more than 20 million people annually. Together, they cover the entire continental U.S., as well as bordering provinces of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are more than 700 species of birds in North America,” notes series editor<\/a> Jill Holtzman Leichter \u201980, BS \u201981. “That\u2019s pretty daunting if you\u2019re just getting started in birdwatching. But we’ve tailored the books to showcase about 200 species most likely to be found in each of seven regions, making it easier to find the bird you’re trying to identify.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each bird is depicted in four photos\u2014many taken by amateur birders\u2014with information on habitat, behavior, and range. The guides also include a section featuring tips and best practices for watching, photographing, and feeding birds; building nest boxes; avian-friendly gardening; and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Truths of Leadership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ken Blanchard \u201961, PhD \u201967<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest management guide<\/a> by the bestselling author<\/a> is subtitled 52 Ways to Be a Servant Leader and Build Trust<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his coauthor, Randy Conley (who speaks and blogs about building trust in the workplace), Blanchard offers concise, practical tips on effective leadership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They include the role of the successful apology; the efficacy of different leadership styles; and the importance of \u201ccatching\u201d people in the act of doing something right.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"the<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe shift from self-serving leadership to leadership that serves others is motivated by a change of heart,\u201d Blanchard writes in a section on servant leadership (in which managers and other leaders see themselves as working for<\/em> their employees or followers, rather than the other way around), one of his areas of expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf leaders don\u2019t get their heart right, they will never become servant leaders. A misguided heart will color their thinking, impact their behavior, and cause them to begin every day by asking, \u2018What\u2019s in it for me today?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The member of a large Cornellian family, Blanchard is best known for his popular One-Minute Manager<\/em> series, which debuted in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casual Conversation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Renia White, MFA \u201916<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom her vantage point of Black womanhood, White probes the norms and mores of everyday interactions,\u201d White\u2019s publisher says of her debut collection of poetry<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn observations, insights, and snippets of speech, these poems look to the unspoken thoughts behind our banter, questioning the authority of not only the rule of law but also of our small talk itself … White challenges us<\/a> to question whether there is anything casual about this life, even as she invites us to consider other logics and to think alongside each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In a poem titled “my mother wants to live in a gated community,” White writes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am only crying because she might want to infer that she\u2019s worth defense. \/ the fact will be embedded, you see? \/ she is thinking about something \/ akin to value \/ and the metric is another latch on another outside. \/ the metric is insisting upon an out \/ that need stay there. \/ the thing about an unmanned gate is, something can walk right in. \/ then what?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Language Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morten Christiansen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLanguage is essential to what it means to be human,\u201d Christiansen and his coauthor write in their preface, \u201cyet we rarely give it a second thought.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cognitive scientist<\/a>, Christiansen is the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Psychology at Cornell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, he and a colleague (Warwick University\u2019s Nick Chater) explore the roots of human language<\/a>, which they call \u201cthe accidental invention that changed the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"the<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They argue that progress toward understanding language<\/a>\u2014how it works, how it\u2019s processed in the brain, why languages vary, and more\u2014has been stymied by the fundamental misconception that everyday speech pales in comparison to an idealized language with clear meanings and standard grammar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReal languages are not slightly mangled variants of a purer, more orderly linguistic system,\u201d they write. \u201cInstead, actual language is always a matter of improvisation, of finding an effective way to meet the communicative demands of the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a review, Forbes<\/em> calls the book \u201ceminently readable,\u201d lauding the authors as \u201cengaging storytellers relating how philosophers, historians, naturalists, linguists, anthropologists, and even mathematicians and computer scientists have tried to disentangle the mysteries of language.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disrupting the Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reggie Fils-Aim\u00e9 \u201983<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This combination memoir and management guide<\/a> is subtitled From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo<\/em>. In it, Fils-Aim\u00e9 traces a winding path to becoming the unorthodox executive known to fans as \u201cthe Regginator.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He describes growing up as the son of Haitian immigrants in New York City, studying applied economics and management in the Dyson School, and working at Procter & Gamble, Pizza Hut, and MTV Networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a person of color in the gaming industry, Fils-Aim\u00e9<\/a> writes, he worked hard to increase diversity, especially in senior management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing \u2018different\u2019 causes a reaction,\u201d he observes. \u201cGender, orientation, race, disability \u2026 the list is long. You can\u2019t ignore or avoid this reaction. Instead, lean into it. Don\u2019t hide, deny, or moderate who you are. Authenticity earns respect. So be your authentic self.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says a Publishers Weekly<\/em> review: \u201cCrisply written and devoid of bombast, these business lessons are worth checking out for leaders of all stripes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Devil Wears Prada<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lauren Weisberger \u201999<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2006 hit film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway has just become a musical<\/a>, debuting in Chicago. But did you know that the 2003 bestseller<\/a> upon which both are based was penned by an alum?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the movie, Streep plays Miranda Priestly, the grande dame of an iconic fashion magazine (widely assumed to be modeled on Anna Wintour and Vogue<\/em>, where the author<\/a> worked after graduation) who eats up young assistants and spits them out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hathaway portrays the protagonist, a new college grad who lands a highly coveted job under Priestly and lives to regret it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"the<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since Weisberger\u2019s debut became a sensation, she has gone on to publish two sequels (Revenge Wears Prada<\/em> and When Life Gives You Lululemons<\/em>) as well as other dishy novels including Last Night at Chateau Marmont<\/em>, The Singles Game<\/em>, and Chasing Harry Winston<\/em>. Her latest bestseller, Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty<\/em>, came out in May 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
