n 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result. I At the time, Morris was a graduate student. Now we know him as one of the most celebrated and restlessly probing filmmakers of our time, the creator of such classics of documentary investiga- tion as The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War. Kuhn, meanwhile, was—and, posthumously, remains—a star in his field, the author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that has sold well over a million copies and introduced the concept of “paradigm “After twenty years of reviewing films, shifts” to the larger culture.

It’s the fundamental desire that animates his filmmaking, whether he’s probing Robert McNamara about Vietnam or interviewing the oddball owner of a pet cemetery. Truth may be slippery, but that doesn’t mean we have to grease its path of escape through philosophical evasions. Rather, Morris argues, it is our duty to do everything we can to establish and support it. In a time when truth feels ever more embattled, under siege from political lies and virtual lives alike, The Ashtray is a bracing reminder of its value, delivered by a figure who has, over decades, earned our trust through his commitment to truth. No Morris fan should miss it.

Errol Morris is a director of films, primarily documentaries, including The Thin Blue Line; Gates of Heaven; Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control; and The Fog of War, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2003.

This volume of essays and unpublished lectures explicates many ART of Michelangelo’s most celebrated sculptures, applying principles gleaned from long, hard looking. Almost everything Steinberg wrote included passages of old-fashioned formal analysis, but here they are put to the service of interpretation. He understood that Michelangelo’s rendering of figures as well as their gestures and interrelations conveys an emblematic significance masquerading under the guise of naturalism. Michelangelo pushed Renaissance naturalism into the furthest reaches of metaphor, using the language of the body and its actions to express fundamental Christian tenets once expressible only by poets and preach- ers. Michelangelo’s Sculpture is the first in a series of volumes of Steinberg’s selected writings, edited by his longtime associate Sheila Schwartz.

Born in Moscow, Leo Steinberg (1920–2011) was raised in Berlin and London, emigrating with his family to New York in 1945. He was a professor of art his- tory at Hunter College, CUNY, and then Benjamin Franklin Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where he remained until his retirement in 1990. Sheila Schwartz worked with Steinberg from 1968 until his death. She is the research and archives director of the Saul Steinberg Foundation.

With license in hand, teens are on the road to buying and driv- ing (and maybe even crashing) their first car, a machine which is home to many a teenage ritual—being picked up for a first date, “parking” at a scenic overlook, or blasting the radio with a gaggle of friends in tow. So important is this car ride into adulthood that automobile culture has become a stand-in, a shortcut to what millions of Americans re- member about their coming of age.

Cross shows how the automobile redefined relationships between parents and teenage children, becoming a rite of passage, producing new courtship rituals, and fueling the growth of numerous car subcultures. Yet for teenagers today the lure of the automobile as a transition to adulthood is in decline. Tinkerers are now sidelined by the advent of digital engine technology and premolded body construc- tion, while the attention of teenagers has been captured by iPhones, video games, and other digital technology. And adults have become less tolerant of teens on the road, restricting both cruising and access to driver’s licenses. Cars are certainly not going out of style, Cross acknowledges, but how upcoming generations use them may be changing. He finds that while vibrant enthusiasm for them lives on, cars may no longer be at the center of how American youth define themselves. But for genera- tions of Americans, the modern teen experience was inextricably linked to this particularly American icon.

But after finishing a 110,000-word draft in 1979, Steward lost interest in the project and subsequently published only a slim volume of selections from his manuscript. In The Lost Autobiography of Samuel Steward, Jeremy Mulderig has integrated Steward’s truncated published text with the text of the orig- inal manuscript to create the first extended version of Steward’s autobi- ography to appear in print—the first sensational, fascinating, and ultimately enlightening story of his many lives told in his own words. Compellingly readable and often unexpectedly funny, this newly dis- covered story of a gay life full of wildly improbable—but nonetheless true—events is destined to become a landmark queer autobiography.

Samuel Steward (1909–93) was a poet, novelist, and for nearly twenty years a professor at Loyola and DePaul universities in Chicago. In 1956, he left aca- demia and became a tattoo artist in Chicago and later in Oakland, California, and thereafter the author of a popular series of pornographic gay novels.

ur understanding of vertebrate origins and the backbone of human history evolves with each new fossil find and DNA Omap. Many species have now had their genomes sequenced, and molecular techniques allow genetic inspection of even nonmodel organisms. But as longtime Nature editor Henry Gee argues in Across the Bridge, despite these giant strides and our deepening understand- ing of how vertebrates fit into the tree of life, the morphological chasm between vertebrates and invertebrates remains vast and enigmatic. As Gee shows, even as scientific advances have falsified a variety “An excellent addition, complementing of theories linking these groups, the extant relatives of vertebrates Gee’s earlier book Before the Backbone, are too few for effective genetic analysis. Moreover, the more we learn which provided a historical perspective about the species that do remain—from sea-squirts to starfish—the on ideas surrounding vertebrate origins. clearer it becomes that they are too far evolved along their own courses Gee addresses an important topic for to be of much use in reconstructing what the latest invertebrate ances- biologists and zoologists about verte- tors of vertebrates looked like.

n Donald Trump’s America, protesting has roared back into fashion. The Women’s March, held the day after Trump’s inau- Iguration, may have been the largest in American history, and resonated around the world. Between Trump’s tweets and the march’s popularity, it is clear that displays of anger dominate American politics once again. There is an extensive body of research on protest, but the focus has mostly been on the calculating brain—a byproduct of structur- alism and cognitive studies—and less on the feeling brain. James M. Jasper’s work changes that, as he pushes the boundaries of our present JULY 304 p., 4 tables 6 x 9 understanding of the social world.

This is a book centered on protest, but Jasper also points toward broader paths of inquiry that have the power to transform the way social scientists picture social life and action. Through emotions, he says, we are embedded in a variety of environmental, bodily, social, moral, and temporal contexts, as we feel our way both consciously and unconsciously toward some things and away from others. Politics and collective action have always been a kind of laboratory for working out models of human action more generally, and emotions are no excep- tion. Both hearts and minds rely on the same feelings racing through our central nervous systems. Protestors have emotions, like everyone else, but theirs are thinking hearts, not bleeding hearts. Brains can feel, and hearts can think.

James M. Jasper teaches sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. He is the author of many books, including The Art of Moral Protest and Getting Your Way, both published by the University of Chicago Press.

104 Seagull Books CEES NOOTEBOOM Monk’s Eye Translated by David Colmer With Illustrations by Sunandini Banerjee

ees Nooteboom wrote the poems that make up Monk’s Eye on two islands: he began them on the Dutch island of Schier- Cmonnikoog and finished them on the Spanish island of Minorca, where he has spent summers for decades. The poems—which can be read individually or, all together, as the record of a poet’s life—are about the two islands. But they’re also about islands as an archetype, about the serenity that we can find on beaches and amid dunes, the sea sweeping imperturbably around us. Accompanied by Sunandini Banerjee’s collages, the poems in this volume are rich in allusion; they address the past, memories, illusions, dreams, and the heart of all poetry—which Nooteboom locates in the opening line of “Cees Nooteboom stands as an impressive Plato’s Phaedrus, when Socrates, walking with his admirer, asks, “My and inimitable voice among contemporary dear Phaedrus, whence came you, and whither are you going?” writers.” —New York Times Book Review Cees Nooteboom is one of Europe’s leading living authors.

Through her eyes we see a city that is largely no more: she weaves through the old souk, climbs the steep stones of the ancient citadel, stands in the center of the Umayyad mosque, runs her hand along the walls of the forbidden synagogue.

We see student riots at TCairo University, radical politics, and the first steps towards the making of a writer. But his story is not told in isolation: through his experiences and memories Yasser Abdellatif also unfolds the experi- ences of his Nubian family through the epochal changes the country underwent in the twentieth century.

Another relative falls into religious esoteri- cism and later madness, spinning away from Cairo and back to the wasteland of a village relocated after it had been flooded by the Aswan Dam. Meanwhile, in the 1990s, students fight security forces and binge on pills amid the dysfunctional remnants of a centralized state whose gravitational pull uprooted their parents and offered the possibility of assimilation into a national identity. Through the clear sky of Abdellatif’s novel, his characters, the spaces they call home, their way-stations, and even the nation that con- tains them all are a murmuration of starlings, held together and apart forever.
