[How to Be Open-Minded] unfolds as an intimate exploration of consciousness, where certainty dissolves into curiosity and rigid thinking transforms into fluid understanding. Through delicate prose that traces the architecture of thought, this meditation on mental flexibility reveals how our preset notions sit like familiar furniture in darkened rooms of the mind, waiting to be rearranged. At its heart, this work isn't just about changing what we think—it's about transforming how we think, offering readers a profound journey through the landscapes of belief, doubt, and the spaces between. Like a carefully crafted map of consciousness, it guides us through the subtle art of holding ideas lightly, showing how true strength lies not in the rigidity of our convictions but in their capacity to evolve.Show book

In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.Show book

“Let the muse of history be silent, and make way for genetics.” Jean Tulard. “Fascinating.” Jean-Noël Fabiani, Professor Emeritus, Chair of the History of Medicine. Until recent years, many mysteries and rumors have surrounded Napoleon. Was Napoleon's body taken by the British and placed in Westminster Abbey? Was he poisoned with arsenic? Did he die of hereditary stomach cancer, as the English claimed, or of hepatitis and dysentery rampant on that unhealthy island? Was Napoleon III descended from the Emperor? Did the Emperor's physician remove Napoleon's penis after his death on St. Helena in 1821? To answer these and many other questions, Professor Gérard Lucotte spent twelve years working on this subject. He was commissioned by Prince Charles Napoléon (a descendant of the Emperor, through the branch descended from Jérôme Bonaparte, the Emperor's youngest brother) and Count Walewski (a descendant of Napoleon the First’s natural son) to work on Napoléon's DNA. Thanks to his genetics laboratory and electron microscope, he has achieved a gigantic feat that will astound all Napoleon enthusiasts.Show book
