All Souls Lost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dan Moren \u201902<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moren previously penned a critically admired series of science fiction novels set during a \u201cgalactic Cold War.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, he pivots to a mash-up of fantasy and noir<\/a> with a tale about a Boston-based paranormal detective named Mike Lucifer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having left town for two alcohol-soaked years on a Hawaiian beach following the death of his partner, Lucifer is back\u2014and he soon picks up a new client, a woman seeking help for her boyfriend.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

What at first seems to be a straightforward (to Lucifer, at least) case of demonic possession proves to be something even more dangerous, involving murder and a tech company\u2014the boyfriend\u2019s employer\u2014possibly dabbling in the dark arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former senior editor at Macworld<\/em>, Moren<\/a> is also a podcaster who co-hosts two tech shows and a quiz program, among other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women in Science Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Pinsker Munoz \u201900<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe \u2018leaky pipeline\u2019 many of us have come to associate with the attrition of women in STEM from undergraduate school through PhDs and employment,\u201d the Engineering alum writes in her intro, \u201cis not so much a set of leaks as it is a force of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The volume<\/a> from Columbia University Press is subtitled Stories and Strategies for Achieving Equity<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It pairs first-person accounts by women in STEM with social science research on potential ways to narrow the gender gap.<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

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

\u201cThe leaky pipeline does not just need to be fixed; it needs to be retired as a metaphor for describing the forces at play for women in STEM fields,\u201d observes Munoz, a science writer<\/a> based in Washington, DC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen are not dripping through holes in the system; they are being pushed out of a system that historically did not want them in the first place, even if it wants them now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Your Own History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Holland \u201978, MA \u201979<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspirational words from Black leaders in a wide variety of fields are gathered in Holland\u2019s<\/a> latest self-improvement book<\/a>. Subtitled Timeless Truths from Black American Trailblazers<\/em>, it offers short biographies of more than 100 notables, emphasizing quotations that carry motivational messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It shares wisdom from such famous names as Booker T. Washington, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack and Michelle Obama\u2014as well as the late Marvel star Chadwick Boseman, athletes Kobe Bryant and Simone Biles, music icons Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z, and numerous others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But many of its sources are less familiar, like Olaudah Equiano, the 18th-century author of a memoir describing the horrors of slavery; early 20th-century educator Nannie Helen Burroughs; engineer Norbert Rillieux, who revolutionized the sugar-making process; and Maggie Lena Walker, the nation\u2019s first female bank president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Front Office Fantasies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Branden Buehler \u201908<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buehler is an assistant professor<\/a> of visual and sound media at Seton Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his first book<\/a>, published by University of Illinois Press, he explores the ubiquity of sports films and other media focused not on the field of play, but on management\u2014works like Moneyball<\/em> and Draft Day<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also ponders the intense interest in metrics and the popularity of fantasy teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtitled The Rise of Managerial Sports Media<\/em>, it boasts a blurb from Cornell media arts professor Samantha Sheppard.<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

\u201cIn this sharply written and impressive book, Branden Buehler provides compelling new insights into the social, cultural, and visual consequences of sports media\u2019s preoccupation with managerialism, financialization, and quantification,\u201d she says, going on to call it \u201ca vital and necessary work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Good Luck Book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heather Alexander \u201989<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander has penned more than 70 kids\u2019 books. In her latest<\/a>, a nonfiction work aimed at children ages seven to 11, the Arts & Sciences alum<\/a> delves into superstitions and folklore from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is divided into sections including traditions based around animals (such as black cats being ill omens), the natural world (\u201cknocking on wood\u201d), and the human body (saying \u201cbless you\u201d in response to a sneeze). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Other topics include the theatrical admonition to \u201cBreak a leg!\u201d\u2014meaning to have a good performance\u2014and the symbolism of the number 13 in different societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHumans do all sorts of things based on superstitions, even though we know it may not be very logical or scientific,\u201d Alexander writes. \u201cOften, we don\u2019t even realize some of our actions\u2014like covering our mouths when we yawn\u2014are actually derived from superstitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critical Hits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

J. Robert Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lennon, the Ann S. Bowers Professor of English<\/a> on the Hill and a prolific fiction writer, co-edits this collection of essays<\/a> on topics related to video games. The 18 pieces in the volume\u2014subtitled Writers Playing Video Games<\/em>\u2014include musings on such iconic titles as Call of Duty<\/em> and The Last of Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They include a piece by Lennon, called \u201cRuined Ground.\u201d Originally published in April 2021 under the title \u201cHow I Spent My Plague Year Inside a Video Game,\u201d it contemplates (among other things) his immersion, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a game set in a post-apocalyptic future.<\/p>\n<\/div>

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

\u201cIn Fallout 76<\/em>, you can have any kind of body you want,\u201d he writes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlayers create a character at the game\u2019s outset by adjusting a fantastically detailed set of parameters; it\u2019s possible to turn yourself into a bizarre freak with just a few taps of the joystick. In single-player games, I usually invent a character unlike myself, often a woman, and costume them fancifully, for kicks. But in 76<\/em> \u2026 you will see the real me: middle-aged father of adult children, trying to recapture his lost youth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syria Divided<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ora Szekely \u201999<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this nonfiction work<\/a> from Columbia University Press, Szekely explores the civil war in Syria\u2014a conflict that has cost more than 600,000 lives and displaced more than half of the population since it began in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdding to the war\u2019s complexity, its many participants understand and explain the war in a range of different ways,\u201d the publisher notes. \u201cFor some, it is a fight for dignity and democracy; for others, a sectarian or communal conflict; still others see it as a fight against terrorism or a consequence of foreign interference.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

In the book, subtitled Patterns of Violence in a Complex Civil War<\/em>, Szekely draws on numerous sources, including in-depth interviews and propaganda shared on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An associate professor<\/a> of political science at Clark University, she has penned such previous works as Insurgent Women: Female Combatants in Civil Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
