  The domed US Capitol Building is recognized around the world as America's most iconic symbol, the forum for representative democracy, and the physical stage for the transfer of executive power. As the United States grew in size and complexity, the Capitol was built, rebuilt, enlarged, and extended many times under the direction of the few who have served as Architect of the Capitol. This official heads the agency dedicated to preserving and upgrading this magnificent structure, and all the buildings and grounds of Capitol Hill. 
   
   
   
  In Under the Dome, Alan Hantman, the Architect of the Capitol from 1997 to 2007, provides a personal account of how the Capitol works as a physical space; who runs it, how and why decisions are made about the security of the Capitol and the people who work there, and how politicians think about the Capitol Building. He also recounts security threats to the Capitol during his tenure—including the 1998 shooting murder of two police officers and the Capitol evacuation on 9/11 as a hijacked airplane approached—that underscore one of his greatest challenges as Architect. The tension between securing the Capitol and opening it to the public drove the design and construction under his direction of the Capitol Visitor Center, the largest expansion of the Capitol in its history, increasing its size by seventy percent.

  A herd of bison standing in the snow. Layered bluffs of multicolored sandstone. A silver Airstream trailer on a mountain highway. These are familiar sights for Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan. Newly retired, their son in college, they embark upon a great American road trip "uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey." Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they move from Montana to Malibu and Seattle to Silverton, winding their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison's knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, "We learn by travel where we ought to travel more."

  The Library of Alexandria - When...

  The Library of Alexandria: When Knowledge Nearly Disappeared is a comprehensive historical narrative that chronicles the rise and tragic fall of humanity's greatest repository of ancient knowledge. This meticulously researched work traces the Library's journey from Alexander the Great's ambitious vision through the Ptolemaic golden age to its ultimate destruction across multiple catastrophic events. 
  The book is structured in five distinct parts: The Birth of Wonder explores Alexander's dream and the Ptolemies' grand project to create the world's first universal library; The Golden Age of Knowledge celebrates the revolutionary discoveries in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and literature that emerged from this intellectual paradise; The Seeds of Decline examines how political upheaval and religious transformation gradually undermined the institution; What Was Lost catalogs the irreplaceable treasures of human knowledge that vanished forever; and Lessons for the Digital Age draws urgent parallels between ancient Alexandria and our contemporary digital knowledge infrastructure. 
  Written in an engaging, accessible style that brings ancient scholars like Euclid, Eratosthenes, and Hypatia vividly to life, the book serves as both a celebration of human intellectual achievement and a sobering warning about the fragility of knowledge preservation. It demonstrates how the Library's destruction was not a single catastrophic event but a series of tragic episodes spanning centuries—from Julius Caesar's fire to Christian destruction of pagan learning to the final Arab conquest.

  What Does Queer Mean Anyway? -...

  In this clear and concise text Chris Bartlett provides direct explanations for how to use and interpret vocabulary like "queer", "transgender", and "intersex". Writing to those who are unsure of how to talk about alternative sexualities and gender, the author uses case studies and historical examples to unpack this often misused and misunderstood vocabulary. 
   
  For much of his life Chris felt unsure of how to politely address and to interact with people who place themselves outside of the traditionally encouraged heterosexual mold. This fear of appearing ignorant or rude led him to avoid interacting with some people and prevented him from sticking up for others when he should have. 
   
  The truth is that being uncomfortable and unsure around a new concept does not make anyone a bad person but when that mindset prevents one from being fair and equitable to others then there is a problem. After listening to this Quick and Dirty Guide to LGBTQIA+ Vocabulary you'll be confident enough to ask polite questions about gender and sexuality and informed enough to understand the answers.
