#OnShelvesNow: MATH IN DRAG, TikTok sensation Kyne Santos’ dazzlingly fun biography ➕ history ➕ Pride book exploring a world in which numbers glitter ✨ and equations sashay 🧮 💃You may have seen Kyne’s videos on social media, where she has an audience of over 1.5 million. Or maybe you caught one of her fabulous appearances on ABC News, NPR, or CBS Mornings. Across platforms, Kyne spreads her passion for math education and scientific literacy, and for bringing STEM education to the queer community and queerness to STEM. In MATH IN DRAG, she shatters stereotypes and proves that math can be sassy and fun, even for people who think they aren’t good at it. Kyne educates readers about both mathematical mysteries and the world of drag through her unique perspective. With elegant irreverence, she explores surprising connections, such as the artistry of ballroom culture and the nature of infinity, the illegal joys of Pride and dividing by zero, and the role of statistics in her own experience on the TV show Drag Race. Kyne gets personal while sharing her journey as a queer person forging a path in STEM. She empowers readers of all ages, genders, and skill levels to break school rules, question everything, and embrace math’s beauty. MATH IN DRAG is about more than just numbers—it’s a celebration of inclusivity and the exhilaration of rebellion.Image credit: @hopkinspress ... See MoreSee Less

Happy #PubDay to FEEDING GHOSTS! This evocative tour de force debut from artist and writer Tessa Hulls was the subject of a recent in-depth @nytbooks feature. The graphic memoir, writes NYT reporter Robert Ito, is “filled with compelling characters and haunting illustrations.” Swipe to see a few of them!In FEEDING GHOSTS, Hulls vividly renders personal and cultural history as she tells the story of three generations of women: Sun Yi, her Chinese grandmother; Rose, her mother; and herself. Sun Yi was a Shanghai journalist caught in the political crosshairs of the 1949 Communist victory. After fleeing to Hong Kong with her young daughter, Sun Yi wrote a bestselling memoir about her persecution and survival—then promptly had a breakdown that left her committed to a mental institution. Growing up, Tessa watched her mother care for Sun Yi. Both struggled under the weight of Sun Yi’s unexamined trauma and mental illness. Vowing to escape her mother’s smothering fear, Tessa left home and traveled to the farthest, most remote corners of the globe. But once she turned thirty, her roaming begins to feel less like freedom and more like running away. Extensively researched and gorgeously illustrated, FEEDING GHOSTS is Tessa’s homecoming: a journey into the heart of one family and a remarkable exploration of the immigrant experience, Chinese history, and the complex bonds between mothers and daughters. “A revelatory work as layered as the history it explores.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review ⭐️“Astonishing…From start to finish, this book is a revelation.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ⭐️“Detailed, vulnerable, [and] harrowing.” —Booklist, starred review ⭐️ ...

Happy #PubDay to LOOK AGAIN, a revelatory new book from MIT neuroscientist Tali Sharot and Harvard law professor Cass R. Sunstein.It’s a common experience: what was thrilling on Monday grows boring by Friday. Humans respond less and less to stimuli that repeats itself. We habituate. Even exciting relationships, stimulating jobs, and breathtaking art lose their sparkle after a while. People stop noticing what is wonderful in their lives—and what is terrible. They get used to dirty air, stay in harmful relationships, become unconcerned by their own misconduct, and are more liable to believe misinformation than ever before. But, argue Sharot and Sunstein, there is a way to see everything anew. In LOOK AGAIN, the authors investigate why we stop noticing what’s around us, and the key to “dishabituating” at the office, in the bedroom, at the store, on social media, and in the voting booth. This groundbreaking work, based on decades of research in the psychological and biological sciences, illuminates how we can reignite the sparks of joy, innovate, and recognize where improvements urgently need to be made.“Corralling a wealth of fascinating examples...Sharot and Sunstein provide a revelatory investigation of a phenomenon that’s as complex as it is common. This enthralls.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review ⭐️ ... See MoreSee Less

Happy #PubDay to VAGABOND PRINCESS! Acclaimed historian Ruby Lal’s new book is out just in time for Women’s History Month.With VAGABOND PRINCESS, Lal becomes the first scholar to analyze the long-forgotten memoir of brilliant and bold Mughal Princess Gulbadan, one of the world’s greatest adventurers. The result is a transportive journey to the itinerant and multicultural Mughal society, a snapshot of the overlooked domestic dramas and everyday struggles of that world, and a biography of a fascinating and powerful figure from the Mughal Empire’s inner circles who, among other feats, crossed the Khyber Pass at age six and survived a shipwreck in the Gulf of Aden in her fifties. Lal, a feminist historian and professor of South Asian History at Emory University, has been lauded for her deft explorations of overlooked, powerful female figures and feminine worlds; her critically acclaimed book Empress: The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 2018. Reza Aslan has called her “one of the most exciting historians writing today.” Like all of Lal’s scholarship, the new book delves deep into a feminine world long obscured from view, offering a bulwark against the erasure of women’s perspectives. It is also the kind of history critical to resisting India’s right-wing government’s efforts to erase the country’s deeply valued syncretic history.“A comprehensive and vivid portrait of an exceptional historical figure.” —Publishers Weekly“Finally, a serious consideration of Gulbadan’s achievement, long ‘sidelined by modern historians.’” —Kirkus Reviews ...

Happy #PubDay to WHAT WE’VE BECOME, a radical rethinking of the national gun debate from professor, psychiatrist, and gun policy scholar Jonathan M. Metzl.Immediately after a naked white man armed with an AR-15 stormed into a Waffle House in Tennessee and killed four young adults of color, media queries started rolling in for Jonathan Metzl. Though the 2018 Nashville shooting was especially close to home for the Vanderbilt professor, this was nothing new; over the years, he’d fielded thousands of these requests in the wake of mass shootings committed across the country. At first, he advocated for common-sense gun reform, as he’d done before. But as he began to investigate this particular tragedy, a previously unimaginable question emerged: What if the strategy gun safety advocates had taken—the approach he had taken—was all wrong? Now, in WHAT WE’VE BECOME, Metzl puts forth a revelatory reconsideration of the national gun debate and the expert-led movement that persuaded liberal America to frame rising rates of firearm death as a public health crisis. Taking readers through the lead-up to and aftermath of the Waffle House shooting, Metzl illuminates how mass shootings represent more than health problems—they also represent problems of race and governance that threaten the foundations of democracy in the United States. Challenging what we think we know about guns, shootings, and safety, WHAT WE’VE BECOME is a piercing analysis that ultimately leads to a bold new framework for intervention.“A powerful, convincing effort to reframe the discussion around gun control and its discontents.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ⭐️Image by our talented W.
