Spring 2019 Books

Becoming
By Michelle Obama
Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, & planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, & learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand & influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science & science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.

Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, & Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters & the Movement That Changed Modern Art
By Mary Gabriel
Set amid the most turbulent social & political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting--not as muses but as artists. From their cold-water lofts, where they worked, drank, fought, & loved, these pioneers burst open the door to the art world for themselves & countless others to come.
