Paperback. Etat : Very Good. New Jersey's Bon Secours Continuous Care Facility is located on the Hudson River, just two miles south of the George Washington Bridge and across from gleaming Manhattan. This unlikely setting for Weehawken High School student Thomas Moore's summer travails couldn't be more different from the open road adventures of his 22-year-old sibling, Alex. From the air-conditioned halls of Bon Secours to the remote wilderness of Starvation Lake, Utah, these contrasts are all part of the mix in Joseph Colicchio's fourth novel, ALL STRINGS ATTACHED. It was July 2008 and Tommy, an impressionable teenager, was beginning his Life Skills internship at the local Roman Catholic elder care facility with Cathy Degnan, his conscientious but complicated supervisor. At the same time, his big brother Alex had just jumped into a friend's car, heading west to discover the future. While on the road, Alex's exploits contribute exciting and often page-turning elements to the narrative: part thriller, part road-trip saga. For Tommy, it is the nursing home's residents and staff which open his eyes to the world in all its aching beauty. The novel celebrates the inevitable interweaving of life and loss. Colicchio's writing stirs. As one of the senior residents explains it, life is "a regular roil of emotions.anger, surprise, shame, pride, embarrassment. All the biggies." From Sandy, a resident who shut out the world since his son Joe was murdered decades prior, to Sara, the elder home's "new girl" who still embraces happiness, the novel reminds us that people can choose to seek growth and joy despite life's struggles. The brothers' two stories overlap in surprising, life-affirming ways. Alternating with Tommy's summer of awakening at Bon Secours, Colicchio deftly presents Alex's own dramatically different season of growth and discovery, as his summer road trip takes engaging and ultimately harrowing turns across America. Often profound, Colicchio's work is consistently engrossing as he skillfully balances the relationship between destiny and choice, between will and circumstance, and between choices made or stubbornly avoided. Frequently a page-turner, the author also mixes in healthy doses of rich characterization and storytelling which demand a more savoring speed, as he explores the inner complexities of human experience. Humorous, tender, and wise, ALL STRINGS ATTACHED is a brutally honest examination of the circle of life, and as one of the book's elders declares: "What beauty, what beauty life is.".…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Taking his title from the wounded cry of the once great Max Bialystock in The Producers -- "Look at me now! Look at me now! I'm wearing a cardboard belt!" -- the charming essayist Joseph Epstein gives us his largest and most adventurous collection to date. With his signature gifts of sparkling humor and penetrating intelligence, he issues forth as a memoirist, polemicist, literary critic, and amused observer of contemporary culture. In deeply considered examinations of writers from Paul Valéry to Truman Capote, in incisive take-downs of such cultural pooh-bahs as Harold Bloom and George Steiner, and in personally revealing essays about his father and about his years as a teacher, this remarkable collection from one of America's best essayists is a book to be savored.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. How to educate the next generation of college students to invent, to create, and to discover--filling needs that even the most sophisticated robot cannot.Driverless cars are hitting the road, powered by artificial intelligence. Robots can climb stairs, open doors, win Jeopardy, analyze stocks, work in factories, find parking spaces, advise oncologists. In the past, automation was considered a threat to low-skilled labor. Now, many high-skilled functions, including interpreting medical images, doing legal research, and analyzing data, are within the skill sets of machines. How can higher education prepare students for their professional lives when professions themselves are disappearing? In Robot-Proof, Northeastern University president Joseph Aoun proposes a way to educate the next generation of college students to invent, to create, and to discover--to fill needs in society that even the most sophisticated artificial intelligence agent cannot.A robot-proof education, Aoun argues, is not concerned solely with topping up students' minds with high-octane facts. Rather, it calibrates them with a creative mindset and the mental elasticity to invent, discover, or create something valuable to society--a scientific proof, a hip-hop recording, a web comic, a cure for cancer. Aoun lays out the framework for a new discipline, humanics, which builds on our innate strengths and prepares students to compete in a labor market in which smart machines work alongside human professionals. The new literacies of Aoun's humanics are data literacy, technological literacy, and human literacy. Students will need data literacy to manage the flow of big data, and technological literacy to know how their machines work, but human literacy--the humanities, communication, and design--to function as a human being. Life-long learning opportunities will support their ability to adapt to change.The only certainty about the future is change. Higher education based on the new literacies of humanics can equip students for living and working through change.…
