NONFICTION BARNETT, CYNTHIA THE SOUND OF THE SEA What Seashells Can Tell Us About the Past and Future In The Sound of the Sea, Cynthia Barnett—a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award—blends cultural history with science to explain our long love affair with shells. It is filled with Barnett’s delightful descriptions of shells, from the perfect symmetry of a cham- bered nautilus, to the pink-glossed lip of a queen conch, to the distant roil in a trumpet shell held to the ear. Barnett makes a powerful argument that paying attention to mollusks and their shells is vital to understanding the dramatic effect of climate change on the seas, marine life, and humanity alike. Cynthia Barnett, author of three previous books including Rain, is an award-winning environmental journalist who has reported on water from the Suwannee River to Singapore.

KOVEN, SUZANNE LETTER TO A YOUNG FEMALE PHYSICIAN Notes from a Medical Life In 2017, Dr. Suzanne Koven published an essay in the New England Journal of Medicine describing the challenges faced by women doctors, including her own personal struggle with imposter syndrome—the long-held, secret belief that she was not smart enough, skilled enough, good enough to be a “real” doctor. Accessed nearly 300,000 times by readers around the world, Koven’s “Letter to a Young Female Physician” evolved into a memoir that reflects on her career in medicine—in which she encountered sexism, pay inequity, and harassment—as well as her pregnancy during a grueling residency in the AIDS era; illnesses of her son and parents during which her roles as a doctor, mother, and daughter converged; and nearing the end of her career during the Covid 19 pandemic.

German lyric poetry, bringing us closer to Rilke’s meaning than ever before and
illuminating the elegies’ celebration of life and love. Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–

A Nobel Laureate and early pioneer in cancer research, Otto Warburg (1883-

at his central theory of the metabolic origins of cancer, and how that theory was

resolve the crime created a contest between Native American forms of justice,

Beginning with the early eighteenth-century rise of the once-penuri- ous but aristocratic Howe brood, The Howe Dynasty uses previously unexam- ined diaries and correspondence to interweave action-packed stories of North American military campaigns—including the historic Battle of Bunker Hill and Long Island—with parlor-room intrigues in England, unearthing an entirely new narrative of the war as influenced and experienced by the extraordinary women of the family.

THE KNOWLEDGE MACHINE
How Irrationality Created Modern Science
Captivatingly written, interwoven with tantalizing illus-
trations and historical vignettes ranging from Newton’s
alchemy to quantum mechanics to the storm surge of Hur-
ricane Sandy, Michael Strevens’s wholly original investi-
gation of science asks two fundamental questions: Why is
science so powerful? And why did it take so long, two thousand years after the
invention of philosophy and mathematics, for the human race to start using
science to learn the secrets of nature? The Knowledge Machine’s radical answer
is that science calls on its practitioners to do something irrational: by willfully
ignoring religion, theoretical beauty, and, especially, philosophy—essentially
stripping away all previous knowledge—scientists embrace an unnaturally nar-
row method of inquiry, channeling unprecedented energy into observation and
experimentation. Michael Strevens, who received a Guggenheim Fellowship in
2017, is a professor of philosophy at New York University and has been writing

QUIRK, ANNE
LARGER THAN LIFE
The Life of President Lyndon B. Johnson and
the Passing of the Voting Rights Act
Known for both his triumphs and his failures, Lyndon B. Johnson was one of the
most complex and compelling presidents in U.S. history. Anne Quirk’s middle
grade biography follows the former president’s rise to power from his childhood
in rural Texas learning politics from his parents, to his time teaching Mexi-
can-American students at a small-town school, to his days as a Congressional
aide and his eventual clinching of first House then Senate seats. An accessible
and informed biography of LBJ centered on the passage of the Voting Rights Act
presents striking parallels with current politics: an outsize character presiding
over a divided nation—but to different ends. Anne Quirk was the publisher of
the Horn Book Magazine and has worked for various book publishers

MR. NOGGINBODY AND
THE CHILDISH CHILD
When Mr. Nogginbody has to babysit, he thinks it

child refuses to study, leading him to quickly discover just how much fun being
a kid can be. The ovoid hero of Mr. Nogginbody Gets a Hammer, which “has the
timeless exuberance and psychological profundity of a great comedy” (Publish-
ers Weekly, starred review), returns in another humorous tour de force from
beloved picture book creator David Shannon. Shannon is the creator of the
Caldecott Honor–winning No, David! and more than thirty other books beloved
