Richly illustrated, clearly written introduction to Medieval art. The sculptures, tabernacles, tapestries, plates, ivory, and other artifacts of the era, created with meticulous, delicate workmanship, frequently convey deeply religious themes, and their preservation provides a window into cultures that belie the term "Dark Ages." ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

Old Photographs have an inner life, maybe it's the patina but I think early photography has a spiritual "echo". These photographs literally leap off the page. Brilliant, vibrant and engrossing you see De Valera age from one picture to the next. The AI used to color these archival prints is amazing and lends a whole new element to the period of Irish Rebellion (1916 ) and the birth of the Republic. Pair this with Say Nothing by Keefe and there is a different perspective of the Troubles and Brexit. Absolutely Brilliant! ~ Reviewed by Maeve Noonan

Fans of the podcast 99% Invisible are in for a special treat. Released ten years after Roman Mars first enchanted the podcasting world, this book is an illustrated compendium of the fascinating tidbits he's gathered about the seemingly mundane. Focusing on what makes a city tick, Mars does what he does best, chronicling stories about the hidden design behind everyday objects citywide. Here you'll learn the evolution and humble origins of the water fountain, the purpose and consequence of hostile architecture, the reason Syracuse has the nation's one and only upside-down traffic signal, why some homeowners paint their dying lawns green, how guerilla gardening subverts authority, and why staircases that lead nowhere are named after a former baseball player. ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau
