How Rights Went Wrong Why Our Obsession with Rights Is Tearing America Apart by Jamal Greene, foreword by Jill Lepore

An eminent constitutional scholar reveals how the explosion of rights is dividing America, and shows how we can build a better system of justice.

You have the right to remain silent and the right to free speech. The right to worship, and to doubt. The right to be free from discrimination, and to hate. The right to marry and to divorce; to have children and to terminate a pregnancy. The right to life, and the right to own a gun.

Rights are a sacred part of American identity. Yet they were an afterthought fo the Framers, and early American courts rarely enforced them.

LEAD The Extended Mind The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain by Annie Murphy Paul

A bold new book that proves our bodies and surroundings know more than our brains do

For centuries, we've believed that our thoughts happen entirely inside our brains. But in the last decade, new research has revealed that our bodies, our gestures, and our surroundings dramatically impact our intelligence and mental health. For example, did you know that closing your eyes makes you smarter, that half an hour among trees is as effective as a dose of Ritalin at controlling ADHD, that certain hand gestures aid memory, and that negotiators win an average of 80 percent more value when on their own turf? Indeed, as Annie Murphy Paul shows, we are constantly thinking outside our brains.

Like Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences or Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, The Extended Mind offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, full of practical advice on how to think-and feel-better.

Last Comes the Raven And Other Stories by Italo Calvino, translated by Ann Goldstein

The first complete English-language edition of one of Calvino's important early short story collections

Blending reality and illusion with elegance and precision, the stories in this collection-one of Calvino's earliest-take place in a World War II-era and postwar Italy tinged with the visionary and fablelike qualities that would come to define this master storyteller's later style.

Bird Families of North America by Pete Dunne and Kevin T. Karlson

Focusing on families and their shared traits makes bird identification easier than ever.

This guide takes readers beyond merely identifying birds to understanding them. Many birders can tell the difference between a White-eyed and Bell's Vireo but cannot begin to describe a vireo and what distinguishes members of this family from warblers or flycatchers. The species by species" approach makes it difficult to appreciate birds for what they are: members of well- organized groupings united by common traits. Putting the focus on families, and their shared characteristics, makes bird identification easier and more meaningful. More than 150 color photos illustrate the 81 bird families of the United States and Canada.
