Amok<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barry Eisler \u201986, JD \u201989<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDox,\u201d a supporting character who has appeared in the bestselling author\u2019s John Rain and Livia Lone series, leads his latest thriller<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in 1991, the book launches a new series while offering something of an origin story for Dox, a.k.a. Carl Williams, a former Marine sniper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back home in Texas after tours in the military and as a CIA contractor, the 26-year-old is drawn by money and boredom to fight as a soldier-for-hire in Southeast Asia, where he encounters both romance and moral conflict.<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

\u201cThe overall tone can be lighter and bouncier than in the Rain and Lone series, but the speedy pace and skillful scene-setting remain Eisler trademarks,\u201d says Publishers Weekly<\/em>. \u201cReaders will eagerly await the sequel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eisler\u2019s many thrillers<\/a> include 2002\u2019s A Clean Kill in Tokyo<\/em> (originally published under the title Rain Fall<\/em>), which was made into a 2009 film featuring Gary Oldman as one of Rain\u2019s adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unreasonable Hospitality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Will Guidara \u201901<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hotelie<\/a> is the former co-owner of two notable Manhattan restaurants, NoMad and Eleven Madison Park\u2014the latter of which was named the best restaurant in the world in 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This inspirational volume and management guide<\/a>, subtitled The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect<\/em>, earned kudos from Kirkus<\/em> for its \u201csage advice about leadership.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, Guidara offers lessons that are drawn from his experience in hospitality, but applicable to many industries. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether a company has made the choice to put their team and their customers at the center of every decision will be what separates the great ones from the pack,\u201d he writes. \u201cUnfortunately, these skills have never been less valued than they are in our current hyperrational, hyperefficient work culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He goes on to posit a solution: creating a culture of hospitality. \u201cWhich,\u201d he writes, \u201cmeans addressing questions I\u2019ve spent my career asking: How do you make the people who work for you and the people you serve feel seen and valued? How do you give them a sense of belonging? How do you make them feel part of something bigger than themselves? How do you make them feel welcome?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marseille, Port to Port<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

William Kornblum \u201961<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarseille is a city for lovers, especially those with a sense of adventure and some historical imagination,\u201d Kornblum, a professor emeritus of sociology<\/a> at CUNY\u2019s Graduate Center, writes in the intro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Marseille you\u2019ll discover an ancient and joyful French seaport, bathed in Mediterranean sunshine and shaded in the ochre hues of Provence. It\u2019s also a city that exhibits many of the social and political fault lines of contemporary French society, along with some of its very own.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

The CALS alum is an urban sociologist, and his book<\/a>, published by Columbia University Press, is no ordinary travel guide\u2014taking a people-centered look at the history and culture of France\u2019s \u201csecond city.\u201d France Today<\/em> calls it a \u201ccaptivating and thoughtful portrait of the city and its citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kornblum is the author of numerous sociology texts as well as such general-interest books as At Sea in the City: New York from the Water\u2019s Edge<\/em> and International Express: New Yorkers on the 7 Train<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Healthy Brain Book of Word Puzzles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fred Piscop \u201970<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A longtime luminary<\/a> in the puzzling world, the Engineering alum is particularly known for crosswords and for his \u201cSplit Decisions\u201d puzzles in the New York Times<\/em>. About a third of his new book<\/a> is devoted to the latter (which challenges solvers to find common letters among word pairs). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The book also offers five other styles, appealing to a range of tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo By Two\u201d features mini \u201ccrisscrosses,\u201d where solvers must fill in a grid with consonants using only vowels as clues. In \u201cClueless Crosswords,\u201d players contend with blank squares to form seven-letter words, with multiple correct possibilities for each word\u2014but only one solution to the grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For word jumble fans, \u201cMixagrams\u201d has sets of four- and five-letter words mixed up in correct letter order, which come together to answer the puzzle\u2019s punny title question. Similarly, in \u201cDouble Exposure,\u201d solvers use common words among columns of letters to form phrases at the end. And cruciverbalists who love hints might enjoy \u201cBits and Pieces,\u201d where sets of connected letters share crossword-esque clues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shifting Currents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Karen Lichtenbaum Carr \u201985<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtitled A World History of Swimming<\/em>, Carr\u2019s book<\/a> traces aquatics through the ages, exploring its racial, gender, and political aspects\u2014including, for example, how the ability to swim has been connected to witchcraft and even used as justification for enslavement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she notes in her introduction, while swimming was ubiquitous around the globe millennia ago, today most people on Earth don\u2019t know how\u2014and the ability to do so often relates to race, income, and education. <\/p>\n<\/div>

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

\u201cSwimming is well suited to the establishment of cultural identity: it is fairly difficult to learn, especially as an adult, and impossible to fake,\u201d she writes. \u201cAs a shibboleth, swimming is very effective.\u201d An associate professor of history emerita at Portland State University, Carr previously penned Vandals to Visigoths: Rural Settlement Patterns in Early Medieval Spain<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReaders coming to this social history of swimming expecting light-weight beach fare might be surprised by both its scope and the depth of its analysis,\u201d BBC History Magazine<\/em> says of Shifting Currents<\/em>. \u201cDrawing on archaeological, documentary, and visual sources from ancient cultures to the 20th century, it sketches the ways in which the ability to swim\u2014or, conversely, a suspicious inability to do so\u2014became markers of class, status, and moral virtue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabretooth: The Adversary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Victor LaValle \u201994, BA \u201995<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LaValle, an acclaimed writer<\/a> of literary horror, leaps into the Marvel universe as the author of comics centered around the villainous X-Men mutant. The five-issue first series<\/a> is available as a paperback compendium (a second series, Sabretooth & the Exiles<\/em>, is also unfolding). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this tale set on an island nation that was supposed to be a paradise for mutants, LaValle deepens the character of Sabretooth\u2014a killer-for-hire historically written off as one-dimensional\u2014by viewing his wickedness through the lens of his lifelong imprisonment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Arts & Sciences alum has garnered numerous awards and honors, penning such novels as The Ballad of Black Tom<\/em>, The Ecstatic<\/em>, Big Machine<\/em>, and The Devil in Silver<\/em>. His 2017 horror-fantasy tale The Changeling<\/em>\u2014which Kirkus<\/em> lauded as a \u201csmart and knotty merger of horror, fantasy, and realism\u201d\u2014was recently adapted for an Apple TV series, likely launching in fall 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Devil\u2019s Fools<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mary Gilliland \u201973, MAT \u201980<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says the publisher, Codhill Press: \u201cInfused with eco-logic, informed by feminism, and taking cues from Eve, Cain, Proserpine, Ulysses, Parsifal, and selves present and past, the 50 poems of The Devil\u2019s Fools<\/em> question and illustrate myths of nature and the nature of inherited myth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poetry collection<\/a> is the latest from Gilliland<\/a>, a retired Cornell faculty member who also penned 2020\u2019s The Ruined Walled Castle Garden<\/em> and whose work has appeared in numerous literary journals. (In addition to teaching on the Hill, she has taught writing to pre-med students at Weill Cornell Medicine\u2013Qatar.)<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pitch Perfect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mickey Rapkin \u201900<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapkin\u2019s 2008 work of nonfiction<\/a>, subtitled The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory<\/em>, follows a season\u2019s worth of onstage and backstage drama in the quirky subculture of competitive university singing groups. (The author has experience with the art form, having sung on the Hill with Cayuga\u2019s Waiters.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fictionalized take on Rapkin\u2019s book\u2014which focuses on acts at the University of Oregon, Tufts, and the University of Virginia\u2014formed the basis for the 2012 film starring Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, plus two sequels. A spinoff TV series, \u201cPitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin,\u201d is currently streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rapkin\u2019s other titles include Theater Geek: The Real Life Drama of a Summer at Stagedoor Manor<\/em>\u2014which explores the famed performing arts camp whose alumni include such stars as Natalie Portman and Robert Downey Jr.\u2014and the children\u2019s books<\/a> It\u2019s Not a Bed, It\u2019s a Time Machine<\/em> and It\u2019s Not a School Bus, It\u2019s a Pirate Ship<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
