Sixteen tales are offered here, many of which examine family relations and Ukrainian Jewish heritage. The collection opens with the title story, which describes a vegetarian son venturing to a deli to buy his dying father a black pastrami on rye with extra mustard. The errand leads the man to reflect on his own life, marked by a stultifying sense of helplessness. “Here’s Looking at You, Syd,” one of the longer stories, is about a husband and wife who journey to Moscow to adopt a child but are confronted by a wall of Russian bureaucracy. Other stories examine coming of age; in “The Buzz Bomb,” a young boy takes playing war games too far and is met with disastrous consequences. Similarly in “The Wrong Napkin,” childish naïveté leads to an embarrassing misjudgment and a chat about the differences between men and women. In “Goth Girl,” a young aspiring writer falls for a darkly aloof poet. Stories such as “Avalanche” and “My Left Foot” celebrate familial relationships with pet dogs, where...

Some measurements are movable, such as the length of the sunlit day at various times of year, and some are variable, such as the width of a hand or the length of a bolt of cloth. “Nature,” writes Martin, “obviously, works perfectly well even without measurements.” Human society, not so much, and developing standard systems of measurement carries a component of social justice, “a universal system, the same for everybody.” That was easier said than done, of course: Developing the systems of measurement of which Martin writes, including the liter and hectare, first required a decimal metric system, with the usual inexactitudes until, within recent memory, the meter was finally measured “based on universal physical constants,” an example of Einsteinian relativity in action—“a meter is defined…as the distance traveled by light in a fraction of a second equal to 1/299,792,458.” Similarly, as Martin writes, the second used to be 1/86,400th of a terrestrial day, a measure that did not account...

Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) formalized the modern binomial system of naming organisms. Broberg (1942-2022), former professor emeritus of history of ideas and sciences at Sweden’s Lund University, provides a detailed account of his subject’s work as well as his “darker aspects.” The son of a country pastor, Linnaeus overcame poverty to impress scholars and acquire patrons, who financed expeditions across Sweden, beginning with a yearlong trek through Lapland, to document wildlife and people as well as economic possibilities. Beginning in his 20s, he published scores of books on botany and zoology, and his naming system gradually won over other naturalists. By middle age, he was world famous, and travelers deluged him with their discoveries. Definitely not ahead of his time, Linnaeus never doubted that all species came from the hand of God and remained unchanged, but he was a stickler for evidence. He rejected spontaneous generation and most legendary creatures (unicorns, dragons) that ot...

In the annals of music history, promoters and club owners rarely take center stage. Even so, these behind-the-scenes figures offer a rare perspective on the industry. With this biography, the author relates the adventures and anecdotes of his friend Giorgio Gomelsky, the owner/operator of the Crawdaddy Club, a hotbed of Britain’s rhythm-and-blues music in the early 1960s. Gomelsky is best known as an early manager of Crawdaddy Club house bands the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds, but his influence extended beyond London’s early rock scene. His promotion of bands like Soft Machine, Gong, and Magma helped cultivate the nascent European progressive rock circuit, and his New York–based recording studio provided a space for further musical experimentation throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Born in Soviet Georgia and raised in Switzerland, Gomelsky led a colorful life, working at various times as a jazz musician, filmmaker, record producer, and early evangelist for the personal computer.

In 2019, a pandemic effectively stranded 39-year-old Lila Piper on the Caribbean island of St. Barts for quite a while. So, this self-described “city girl,” once a Chicago private investigator, gladly accepts an offer to rent a small bungalow in San Diego. But she’s quickly reminded of why she fled to the island in the first place: Her psychiatrist in Chicago, who had long been treating her for bipolar disorder, was actually making Lila worse with misprescribed drugs and experimental therapies. A shifty cabal, known only as LPF, was behind the experiments, and now two people associated with LPF have been killed. Lila believes their so-called accidental deaths may be homicides, so she pokes around various American cities with help from a New York City police detective as well as Lila’s old CIA pal, Gus Ambrosia. LPF, it turns out, is involved in all sorts of terrifying things—and if the organization is offing people, it’s a sure bet that Lila will soon be a target. Jane shrouds this se...

The author argues that fighting climate change requires acknowledging the true cost of products, practices, and decisions beyond their literal dollar value and ensuring that this full cost is borne by those responsible for it. The book advocates a revamped system of accounting that includes external costs, assigns a monetary value to indirect costs, and factors in the full value of natural resources and intangible inputs. While the focus is primarily on environmental implications, Bainbridge’s system also incorporates working conditions, health care, and community impact. After a comprehensive overview, subsequent chapters explain how the system applies to specific industries like agriculture, construction, and energy. The book provides examples of cases in which governments have successfully imposed financial penalties for destructive actions, such as fees charged for pesticide and fertilizer use in Scandinavia. It also details the elements of a true cost report, used to assess and c...

This diverse and vibrant short story collection pivots around the Simulacrum—an entity of an unknown origin that copies the world over and over, making changes along the way. These copies are called the Simulacra. Readers are first introduced to this concept in the tone-setting “Notes on the Form of the Simulacra,” written by co-editor Turnbull and taking the form of posts on an online forum.

The author observes that, contrary to popular belief, the ideological polarization that currently beleaguers the United States is not the historical norm; in fact, following World War II, the country leapt “from strength to strength,” and, despite genuine political disagreement, reasonable compromises and consensus among citizens were concretely brokered. However, this is no longer the case—today, the least temperate members of the citizenry elect the least moderate politicians, and deeply divisive figures like Donald Trump and Joe Biden continue to win nominations for the presidency despite their lack of general support. Paepke asserts that this state of affairs has been engendered in part by an irresponsible media that intentionally stokes the flames of political acrimony and by a presidential primary nomination process designed to prefer voters “louder, angrier, and more extreme than mainstream Americans.” The result, in his estimation, has been a loss of shared national identity a...

Imogen “Mo” Finch blames her single status on her ability to read people’s auras—rose gold for love, teal for heartbreak; no one wants to be with someone who knows their feelings without being told. Mo’s mom also has this ability and, ironically given her daughter’s nonexistent love life, works as a professional matchmaker.

Merton Clive Cook (1868-1931), known in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as The Great Clivette, was a true Renaissance man who traveled around the world. He narrates this faux memoir, in which he describes himself as the companion of Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini, Buffalo Bill, and Mark Twain; indeed, he may have been the basis of “the Mysterious Stranger” in an unpublished Twain novel of the same name. Clivette worked at various intervals as a magician, tightrope walker, juggler, mime, lecturer, and painter. MacBride, a scholar of the late 1800s and early 1900s, found that Clivette was “strangely connected to everything in the entertainment world” around the turn of the century. Drawing on his collaboration with the Clivette family estate—which possesses a treasure trove of records, notes, clippings, and letters pertaining to its illustrious ancestor—MacBride offers the first book-length exploration of the artist’s life.

Fifteen-year-old Jana Benak is used to this nomadic life, helping her stepmother Zofie take care of younger siblings, telling fortunes in town, and scavenging for supplies, but she longs for more independence and self-expression.
