LETTER FROM BARBARA

Another prize given out this week is the J. Anthony Lukas Prize, which was awarded to Eliza Griswold for The Tenth Parallel.  Ms. Griswold presented a fascinating talk last September on this belt around the world almost entirely inhabited by intersections of Christian and Islamic cultures.   Our customers can order a free MP3 of her talk or a CD recording for $7.50; similar copies are available of Ron Chernow’s talk on President Washington and Mukherjee’s talk about his “biography” of cancer.

Lastly, Isabel Wilkerson, who spoke at P&P last September and whom we also featured in our Holiday Newsletter, won the Mark Lynton History Prize for The Warmth of Other Suns, her affecting epic of the migration of African Americans to the North in a search to find work and less discrimination. Isabel Wilkerson grew up in Washington, DC and graduated from Howard University.

Congratulations to all the winners, particularly those who you saw first at Politics & Prose.

BOOK NOTES

EARTH DAY

Earth Day is April 22, and it's a valuable opportunity and reminder for me to reflect on the status of my relationship with the natural world. In Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv coined the term “nature-deficit disorder” for children who spend too much time inside. In his new book, he points out that this afflicts people of all ages. Louv’s THE NATURE PRINCIPLE: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder (Algonquin, $24.95) is simple: nature is good for us, and we can be good for nature. With anecdotes and studies, Louv shows that spending time outside can improve mood, enhance cognitive skills, and foster relaxation—all of which can lead to better physical health. Louv isn’t alone in his impassioned support for the outdoors. He cites dozens of organizations that are working to reconnect people with nature—many are national, but most are local, community-based groups that focus on projects such as linking or creating bike lanes or rounding up families for weekly walks in the woods. Louv’s eloquent book is a manifesto for a new back-to-the-land movement, one that integrates people, modern technological society, and nature into one thriving system.

PODCAST OF THE WEEK

We live in the Information Age—but what exactly does that mean? Gleick, author of Chaos and Genius, looks back to the earliest information technologies, tracing the route from talking drums to alphabets, Morse code to computer languages, punch cards to the Internet. Along the way he profiles the inventors and visionaries involved and charts how the various machines have altered human consciousness itself.

We record nearly every in-store author event. You can listen to our current selection of author event recordings here, or click here to browse and download more MP3s. If you would like to request a CD or MP3 recording from a past event which is not already posted, send an email to Wendy Brown.

MARKDOWN BOOKS

As poetry month continues, it’s a pleasure to have THE THRONE OF LABDACUS, by Gjertrud Schnackenberg, on hand. Schnackenberg’s work is always elegant and graceful; she is a master of her craft composing lines of unparalleled fluidity. Her subjects tend toward the fine arts and the classical traditions, with the learning always tempered for emotional resonance—this isn’t dry stuff. Throne is a book-length narrative about what happens to Oedipus after the events recounted in Sophocles’s play. Schnackenberg has gathered allusions, myths, and folktales, and leavened then with imagination to create a haunting masterpiece. Available in hardcover, $5.98.

The entomologist (and now also novelist) E.O. Wilson is esteemed for his work on ants. In THE CREATION: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth, he fights for the entire planet. This brief, impassioned work is cast as a letter to a Southern Baptist pastor, but Wilson really makes his appeal to everyone. He cites both scientific and spiritual reasons to stop the destruction of habitats and the extinction of species. Whether out of respect for a divine creator or the sheer wonder at the variety of life on Earth, he urges us to take heed of how our behavior affects our fellow creatures. Available in hardcover, $5.98.

Michael Pollan is known for his food manifestos, but his earlier books covered a range of topics. His 1991 SECOND NATURE: A Gardener’s Education is a series of twelve essays on his efforts to establish a garden that works harmoniously with both nature and culture. In the process of rethinking the American dream of a flawless lawn, home-grown flavorful vegetables, and efficient composting, Pollan tells stories, reports facts, and looks at things philosophically. As he tries to do the right thing by both the plants and the neighbors, he foreshadows some of the themes his later work will explore more expansively. Available in paperback, $5.98.

NEW AND RECENT

Tetzlaff Quartet, SIBELIUS & SCHOENBERG QUARTETS (Avie, $18.98) – There’s no question that Christian Tetzlaff is one of the world’s premier violinists. He’s also devoted to chamber music, and the Tetzlaff Quartet (with his sister Tanja Tetzlaff, Elisabeth Kufferath, and Hanna Weinmeister) has been an ongoing project since 1994. In fact, the first piece the Quartet worked on is the Arnold Schoenberg Quartet No. 1 in D minor, and it has been a cornerstone of their repertoire. This epic quartet from 1905 is paired with Jean Sibelius’s Quartet in Dm, “Voces Intimae” from 1909. This is one of the best chamber recordings of the year so far.

NOTE: Christian Tetzlaff is giving a rare, free noontime concert at the National Gallery of Art next Wednesday, April 28 with violinist Antje Weithaas.

Listen to a master at work.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band & the Del McCoury Band, AMERICAN LEGACIES (McCoury Music, $15.98) -- What do bluegrass and old-time jazz have in common? A hard-driving sound, a great sense of swing, and the banjo (though played in very different ways).

NEWS FROM THE COFFEEHOUSE

April youth art show: "Critical Exposure"

Modern Times Coffeehouse is proud to present our new April art show, featuring photographs from youth in Critical Exposure’s education programs.

Critical Exposure teaches youth how to use the power of photography and of their own voices to become effective advocates for school reform and social change. Through partnerships with youth programs and community organizations, they seek to create a connection between art and advocacy using a three-pronged approach:

1. Youth Empowerment – Provide students with training in documentary photography, leadership, and advocacy; teach them how to document issues that impact their lives; and help them to use their images and voices to advocate for positive solutions to those issues.

2. Public Engagement – Inform and engage the public by using students’ photographs and writing to create traveling exhibits that can be shown in galleries, coffee shops, and other public spaces to build awareness of the issues facing young people.

3. Policy Change – Partner with advocacy and community organizations to implement creative strategies that use youth photography and voices to strengthen campaigns to improve our schools and our communities.
