The world will never be slower than it is right now, says Beth Comstock, global thought leader and the former Vice Chair and head of marketing and innovation at General Electric. But confronting the relentless pace of change is hard. Employees get downsized; companies ﬁ nd themselves disrupted as challengers steal away customers. To thrive in today’s world, every one of us has to become a change-maker.

In IImaginemagine IItt FForwardorward, Comstock shares lessons from a thirty- year career as the change-maker-in-chief at GE. In a candid and personal narrative, Beth describes her successes and failures from the front lines of business, across industries ranging from media CCurrencyurrency (Sept. 18, 2018) to health, ﬁ nance to the Industrial Internet. She demonstrates Editor: Roger Scholl how she helped to turn a process-heavy, risk-averse culture into one that increasingly embraced transparency, adaptability, Material: Finished Book iteration, and discovery. And she shows how each one of us can become a “change maker”—an instigator of change –by giving ourselves permission to imagine a better way.

For Comstock, confronting today’s accelerating change requires an extraordinary degree of problem-solving, collaboration, and forward-thinking leadership. IImaginemagine IItt FForwardorward masterfully points the way for leaders large and small.

Every evening for eight years, at his request, President Obama was given ten handpicked letters written by ordinary American citizens— the unfi ltered voice of a nation—from his Offi ce of Presidential Correspondence. Many of these letters profoundly aff ected President Obama and his policies. And on many occasions, he replied.

In To Obama, Jeanne Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter writers themselves, and the dedicated, idealistic White House staff who sifted through the powerful, moving, and incredibly intimate narrative of America during the Obama years: There is Kelli, who saw her grandfathers fi nally marry—legally—after thirty-fi ve years together; RRandomandom HHouseouse Bill, a lifelong Republican whose attitude toward immigration reform (Sept. 18, 2018) was transformed when he met a boy escaping gang leaders in El Salvador; Editor: Andy Ward Heba, a Syrian refugee trying to forget the day the tanks rolled into her Material: Finished Book village; and Vicki, whose family was torn apart by those who voted for Trump and those who did not.

They wrote to Obama out of gratitude and desperation, in their darkest times of need, in search of connection. They wrote with anger, fear, and respect. And together, this chorus of voices achieves a kind of beautiful harmony. To Obama is an intimate look at one man’s relationship to the American people, and at a time when empathy intersected with politics in the White House.

Nora Krug was born decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow throughout her childhood and youth in the city of Karlsruhe, Germany. For Nora, the simple fact of her German citizenship bound her to the Holocaust and its unspeakable atrocities and left her without a sense of cultural belonging. Yet Nora knew little about her own family’s involvement in the war: though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it.

In her late thirties, after twelve years in the US, Krug realizes that living SScribnercribner (October 2, 2018) abroad has only intensiﬁ ed her need to ask the questions she didn’t dare Editor: Kathy Belden to as a child. Returning home, she visits archives, conducts research, Material: Finished Book and interviews family members. Her extraordinary quest, spanning Agent: Alexander Jacobs continents and generations, pieces together her family’s troubling story and reﬂ ects on what it means to be a German of her generation.

BBelonging elonging wrestles with the idea of Heimat, the German word for the place that fi rst forms us, where the sensibilities and identity of one generation pass on to the next. In this highly inventive visual memoir—equal parts graphic novel, family scrapbook, and investigative narrative—Nora Krug draws on letters, archival material, fl ea market fi nds, and photographs to attempt to understand what it means to belong to one’s country and one’s family.

In 2011, Egyptians of all sects, ages, and social classes shook oﬀ millennia of autocracy, then elected a member of the Muslim Brotherhood president. The 2013 military coup replaced him with a vigorous strongman, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has cracked down on any dissent or opposition with a degree of ferocity Mubarak never dared.

Egypt has for centuries set in motion every major trend in politics and culture across the Arab world, from independence and Arab nationalism to Islamic modernism, political Islam, and the jihadist thought that led to Al Qaeda and ISIS. The Arab Spring revolts of 2011 spread from Cairo, so we naturally look to its disastrous democratic experiment with cynical VVikingiking (August 7, 2018) exasperation; but they fail to understand the dynamics of the uprising, Editor: Wendy Wolf the hidden story of its failure, and Washington's part in that tragedy. Material: Finished Book Kirkpatrick arrived in Egypt less than six weeks before the uprising broke out. Kirkpatrick was an eyewitness to many of the pivotal moments of those years: the jubilation in Tahrir Square, the elections that brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power, the 2013 massacre of protestors at Rabaa Square that cemented General Sisi’s autocratic grip.

More than just the story of Egypt, Into the Hands of Soldiers is the story of Kirkpatrick’s education in the Arab world in a time of revolution and violence. What went wrong? And how can the West move beyond seeing the Arab World as stuck between military and theocratic authoritarianism?

“What we have here are 349 unfl inching pages detailing the NFL’s rampant boobery . . . It probably took a reporter like Leibovich to write a historic book like this.

“Playing changes,” in jazz parlance, has long referred to an improviser’s resourceful path through a chord progression. Playing Changes boldly expands on the idea, highlighting a host of signifi cant changes—ideological, technological, theoretical, and practical—that jazz musicians have learned to navigate since the turn of the century. Nate Chinen, who has chronicled this evolution fi rsthand throughout his journalistic career, vividly sets the backdrop, charting the origins of jazz historicism and the rise of an institutional framework for the music. He traces the infl uence of commercialized jazz education and refl ects on the implications of a globalized jazz ecology. He unpacks the synergies between jazz and postmillennial hip-hop and R&B, illuminating an emergent rhythm signature for the music. And he shows PPantheonantheon (August 14, 2018) how a new generation of shape-shifting elders, including Wayne Shorter Editor: Erroll McDonald and Henry Threadgill, have moved the aesthetic center of the music. Material: Finished Book Agent: Alexander Jacobs Woven throughout the book is a vibrant cast of characters—from the saxophonists Steve Coleman and Kamasi Washington to the pianists Jason Moran and Vijay Iyer to the bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding—who have exerted an important infl uence on the scene. This is an adaptive new music for a complex new reality, and Playing Changes is the defi nitive guide.

TThehe EEmpirempire RReborneborn is the story of modern China as told, in part, through the multigenerational narrative of Wong’s family: his father, coming of age in China in the 1950s and 60s as Mao consolidates power; and Wong’s present-day experience charting China’s geo-political ambition, alongside its darker repercussions: environmental degradation; extreme censorship and propaganda; cyberespionage; minority ethnic group suppression and violence; and ﬁ nally, the troubling autocratic rise of president Xi Jinping. Throughout, Wong powerfully argues that his father’s story under Mao has much to teach us about China under Xi. With beautiful writing, sweeping narrative, and news-breaking insight into contemporary China, The Empire Reborn will be required reading for anyone looking to understand global politics in the 21st century.
