A picture book biography about an ordinary New York City couple and their extraordinary collection of artIn the heart of Manhattan lived a librarian and a postal clerk who loved art so much that they collected it. Over the years, Dorothy and Herbert brought home hundreds of works of art¿from little-known SoHo artists to luminaries such as Chuck Close and Christo and Jeanne-Claude¿to their small, empty-walled apartment, much to the curiosity and delight of their eight cats and tank of fish. Their passion for art and support of artists was so impressive, Dorothy and Herbert became famous themselves. And when they gifted their extraordinary collection to the National Gallery of Art, their art became ours, inspiring new generations of artists.

Jesse DeLong's full-length debut, The Amateur Scientist's Notebook, is a collection of poems set among the mines and farmlands of Idaho. The severe landscapes move the speaker to investigate his romantic and familial relationships through lyric considerations of the natural world and scientific concepts. Like the seeds on the face of a sunflower, each poem is both whole and a piece of a whole. Mimicking this structure, or the "struggle of scale," these poems combine love and science, and the product is both declaration and interruption, elusive and graspable, love and the deconstruction of love. In The Amateur Scientist's Notebook, the friction between the stone and the mountain demonstrates the wonder generated in this struggle to become, to grow, and to change.

Set in Chicago, M-theory, revolves around two murders in all of their profundity and anonymity. Using elements of noir and romance Cates successfully nests deeper philosophical and societal considerations into a tight, brilliant plot that expertly braids three separate narrative threads: the investigations of Detective Lesley Powell, the love life of one Donovan James, and the liaisons of Mrs. Emily Monroe. The result is a fast-paced novel that contains all the thrills of a police procedural-while scrutinizing those procedures-and titillates, while exploring the dangers of love. Timely in its considerations of the abuses of power inherent in the culture of corporations and law enforcement, M-theory is an engrossing, accessible, yet formally complex, study in human emotion, psychology, and motivation that will leave readers considering their own conceptions of reality.
Most books about the presidents are either biographies or political science tomes, hundreds of pages long. If they cover the full list of presidents, then they often devolve into lists of trivia.

There's lots of fun to be had up on the beach pier, but it's down underneath where the true—and totally free—magic happens There's lots of fun to be had up on the pier—the Ferris wheel, the rollercoaster, Skee-Ball and Whac-A-Mole, cotton candy, copper coins, the carousel.

Nell Beckerman's poetic text and deep love of the intertidal zone, and Rachell Sumpter's dreamy, "endless summer” art make this the perfect beach book.
