New True Stories
By APRIL VOMFELL ImagineIF Libraries
This selection of brand-new non- fiction includes technology master- minds, the humorous lives of
actors, scientific history and soldiers in disguise.
“The Innovators” by
Walter Isaacson. What do
the English mathematician
Ada Lovelace and World
Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee have in com-
mon? Find out when you get inside the minds of some of the biggest in- ventors in the history of technology, from 1840 to today.
“Yes Please” by Amy Poehler and “Not That Kind of Girl” by Lena Dunham. These actors are funny, quirky and sometimes raunchy. If you’ve ever wanted to hang out with “Parks and Recreation” star Poehler or “Girls” creator Dunham, this is your chance to hear their stories, ad- vice and stranger-than-fiction anec- dotes.
“Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy” by Karen Abbott. This book delves
into the little-known stories of four unique women who used their wits and wiles to pose as Civil War sol- diers, beguile politicians and gath-
er intelligence from enemy leaders.
“I Must Say” by Martin Short. Comedy legend Short contrasts his work, fame and well-known characters with the tragedy and loss expe- rienced throughout his life, showing how his upbeat out-
look has carried him through.
“The Human Age” by Diane Ack- erman. It’s official. Humans have ut- terly changed this planet. Ackerman explains the situation in scientific yet engaging terms. Pairing crisis with creativity, she wonders if we will survive our own ingenuity or be
outsmarted by our inventions.
For a chilly fall evening, these stories are best combined with a
cozy blanket and a warm drink.
ImagineIF Libraries encourage exploration, fresh ideas and self-dis- covery. Learn more at www.imaginei- flibraries.org.
