Our Lady of the World's Fair -...

Ruth D. Nelson

Driven by different motives, Robert Moses and Francis Cardinal Spellman had the same vision: to display Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Pietà, in the Vatican's pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair in New York City. 
 
 
 
As Ruth D. Nelson gracefully showcases, Moses believed this blockbuster would guarantee the fair's financial success. At the same time, Spellman, Archbishop of New York and the spiritual leader of Cold War America's Catholic community, hoped that at a time of domestic strife and global conflict, the Pietà's presence would have a positive spiritual impact on the nation. Although the fair did not turn out to be the financial bonanza that Moses expected, the Pietà drew record crowds of the faithful, art lovers, and the curious. 
 
 
 
Nelson's fascinating uncovering of the intensive planning that went into designing the pavilion, transporting the art piece across the Atlantic, and coordinating Pope Paul VI's visit to New York in 1965—the first papal visit to the Western Hemisphere—demonstrates the sheer scale and opportunity of the two men's endeavors. Our Lady of the World's Fair depicts the skepticism and fierce criticism that faced the two New York power brokers. Rather than letting the negative weigh them down, they united and called on every resource at their disposal to make this unlikely cultural coup possible.

The Notebook - A History of...

Roland Allen

A Kirkus Most Anticipated Book of Fall 2024 
 
 
 
We see notebooks everywhere we go. But where did these indispensable implements come from? How did they revolutionize our lives? And how can using a notebook help change the way you think? In this wide-ranging history, Roland Allen reveals how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of Leonardo and Frida Kahlo, Isaac Newton and Marie Curie, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James; shows how Darwin developed his theory of evolution in tiny pocket books and Agatha Christie plotted a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books; and introduces a host of cooks, kings, sailors, fishermen, musicians, engineers, politicians, adventurers, and mathematicians, all of whom used their notebooks as a space to think—and in doing so, shaped the modern world. 
 
 
 
In an age of AI and digital overload, the humble notebook is more relevant than ever. Allen shows how bullet points can combat ADHD, journals can ease PTSD, and patient diaries soften the trauma of reawakening from coma. The everyday act of moving a pen across paper, he finds, can have profound consequences, changing the way we think and feel: making us more creative, more productive—and maybe even happier.

Thomas Cromwell: England's...

Heather Teysko

Welcome to Thomas Cromwell: England's Mastermind, an introduction into one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of Tudor England. Over the course of this series, we’ll explore Cromwell’s journey from a blacksmith’s son in Putney to the heights of power as King Henry VIII’s chief minister. Cromwell’s story is one of ambition, ingenuity, and risk—qualities that reshaped the English church, monarchy, and society in ways that still resonate today. 
Cromwell was not a nobleman by birth, but his keen intellect and strategic thinking brought him to the center of the Tudor court, a place where ambition could be both a blessing and a curse. He helped Henry VIII break from Rome, orchestrated the dissolution of the monasteries, and navigated the dangerous waters of court politics. Yet, for all his successes, Cromwell’s rise came at a cost: he made powerful enemies, took extraordinary risks, and ultimately faced a dramatic fall from grace.
