Gornick Vivian: The Odd Woman and the
City / B

The Odd Woman and the City

Essays on Language, Literature, and Philosophy

Discursive Osmosis

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

Schon als Kind sieht Leonora die Welt mit eigenen Augen, hält sich für ein Pferd und spricht mit Fabelwesen. Ihrer reichen Familie zum Trotz erkämpft sie sich das Recht, eine absolut freie Frau zu sein.In Paris schwelgt sie im Sinnestaumel des Surrealismus, kennt Dalí, Miró, Picasso und stürzt in eine wahnwitzige Liebe zu Max Ernst. Bis der Zweite Weltkrieg die Gruppe auseinandertreibt und Leonora über Abgründe aus Europa flieht. Mit Peggy Guggenheim erobert sie die Kunstwelt New Yorks, doch ihr Freiheitsdrang treibt sie weiter - bis nach Mexiko, wo sie Meisterwerke schafft, so singulär wie ihre Geschichte selbst.Das außergewöhnliche Leben der Leonora Carrington wird in Elena Poniatowskas Händen zu einem weltumspannenden Abenteuer und einem Zeugnis bedingungsloser Leidenschaft.

A visual love letter to the food carts, market stalls, and sidewalk entrepreneurs that give New York City its flavor, grit, and humanity. From halal trucks in Queens to mango stands in the Bronx, churro sellers in Brooklyn to taco bikes in Manhattan, NYC Street Vendors features over 150 of the city's most beloved curbside operations. Illustrator Joel Holland captures the soul of New York's informal economy through bold, expressive drawings which are paired with insightful, engaging text penned by local writer David Dodge. Building on the success of the duo's earlier books, which covered storefronts in Manhattan and Brooklyn, this volume shifts focus to the vibrant community of rolling kitchens, pop-up stands, and independent sellers. Alongside longtime fixtures like NY Dosas, Mister Softee, and the Arepa Lady, readers will discover Japanese musubi carts, knife-sharpening trucks, Jamaican jerk vendors, mobile bookstores, and bustling hubs like the Union Square Greenmarket. Many of the entrepreneurs featured are immigrants whose work has helped shape the cultural fabric of the five boroughs-making the project a powerful reminder of the essential role they play in New York's identity.

*Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize* What would women do with their lives if they had more time? The riveting, untold story of a revolutionary campaign to change the way work is valued 'The women of the world are serving notice. We want wages for every dirty toilet, every indecent assault, every painful childbirth, every cup of coffee and every smile. And if we don't get what we want, we will simply refuse to work any longer!' Across the globe in the 1970s, a network of feminists distilled their struggles into a single demand: Wages for Housework! Today, it remains a provocative idea, and an unfulfilled promise. Here historian Emily Callaci tells the story of this campaign by exploring the lives and ideas of its key creators, tracing their wildly creative political vision over the past five decades: from the early 1970s, when Selma James, a working-class political organizer, and Mariarosa Dalla Costa, a scholar-activist, started laying the foundations of Wages for Housework in London and Italy; through philosopher Silvia Federici reframing the campaign in the context of New York City's fiscal crisis; to Wilmette Brown, lesbian poet and anti-war activist, and Margaret Prescod, community organizer, who brought the insights of Black feminism to the movement. Drawing on new archival research and extensive interviews, Callaci takes us deep inside the heart of the movement as it reached across Europe, America, Africa and the Caribbean. For these women, the wage was more than a demand for money: it was a starting point for remaking the world as we know it, imagining potential futures under capitalism - and beyond. Then as now, Wages for Housework poses profound questions. What would it be like to live in a society that prioritizes care rather than production? How would this change our relationship with the natural world? And what would women do with their lives if they had more time?

Abrakadabra in der Sullivan Street

From the author of the groundbreaking exposé Gomorrah comes a book that encourages and challenges the people to stand up for themselves and to not be fooled by the coercive nature of political power. Featuring short biographical sketches of a surprising mix of admired and deplored figures and works from history, this is a book that demands of readers to open one’s eyes and be outraged. The iconic Italian author Roberto Saviano’s latest work of nonfiction is an urgent cry for people to stand up for themselves and the things they believe in, featuring those who have most inspired him—Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, Martin Luther King Jr., the Calipygian Venus, immortalized in marble—alongside those whose actions were most deplorable—Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana, who encouraged the 1993-’94 genocide there. Saviano quotes the Italian author and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi: “I write what I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone.” Saviano, like Levi, embraces his readers within a similar protective halo of intimacy, taking us in his arms to warn us. Other lives and works that Saviano evokes in Shout It Out! are Hypatia, the murdered Alexandrian philosopher, mathematician and astronomer; political theorist Carl Schmitt; trailblazing Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya; Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi; NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden; 16th century astrology and alchemist Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600; Russian poet Anna Akhmatova who chose silence rather than collaboration; Émile Zola; the Brothers Grimm; Martin Luther King; murdered anti-corruption activist Daphne Caruana Galizia; the ancient roman statue of the Callipygian Venus; Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan); American actress Jean Seberg; Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini; Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels; Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana; Settimia Spizzichino, one of 50 from the Rome ghetto sent to Auschwitz, and the only survivor; Chinese poet and factory worker Lizhi Xu; Italian-American saint Sister Francesca Saverio Cabrini; Italian architect and London fire victim Gloria Trevisan; George Floyd. Shout It Out dives into world history—and Roberto Saviano’s mind—in a way that constantly surprises.
