Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

《让木乃伊跳舞:大都会艺术博物馆变革记》内容简介：世界上没有哪个博物馆和纽约大都会艺术博物馆一样——也从未有人像托马斯•霍文那样对它进行管理，进行变革：从“诱捕”重要的捐赠人，到跨越国界偷运古代珍宝；从与世界上最有势力的古董商达成秘密协议，到与对手周旋；从举办“图坦卡蒙王”等大展，到赢得委拉斯开兹的惊世杰作。在担任馆长的10年间，霍文使大都会博物馆从睡梦中惊醒，将其转变成美国最有活力的文化机构。

《博物馆变迁》是一部探寻博物馆发展脉络和 使命的综合性、通论性著作，对博物馆的历史和功能进行了宏大的叙事和阐释，展现了自18世纪以来六大类博物馆的动态发展史，剖析了博物馆行业的五大功能，史论丰富，案例详实，蕴蓄极富。本书的最大亮点在于其每章最后的“挑战”部分，收录了围绕该章主题提出的开放性问题。这些问题无一不关乎博物馆的现在和未来，反映出博物馆在变化环境中需思考和做出的变革。它们当中很多都还没有或刚刚引起学术关注，而对这些问题的深入探索势必会拓宽博物馆学研究的深度和广度，推动博物馆事业的发展。

The unexpected story of how genetic testing is affecting race in America
We know DNA is a master key that unlocks medical and forensic secrets, but its genealogical life is both revelatory and endlessly fascinating. Tracing genealogy is now the second-most popular hobby amongst Americans, as well as the second-most visited online category. This billion-dollar industry has spawned popular television shows, websites, and Internet communities, and a booming heritage tourism circuit.
The tsunami of interest in genetic ancestry tracing from the African American community has been especially overwhelming. In The Social Life of DNA, Alondra Nelson takes us on an unprecedented journey into how the double helix has wound its way into the heart of the most urgent contemporary social issues around race.
For over a decade, Nelson has deeply studied this phenomenon. Artfully weaving together keenly observed interactions with root-seekers alongside illuminating historical details and revealing personal narrative, she shows that genetic genealogy is a new tool for addressing old and enduring issues. In The Social Life of DNA, she explains how these cutting-edge DNA-based techniques are being used in myriad ways, including grappling with the unfinished business of slavery: to foster reconciliation, to establish ties with African ancestral homelands, to rethink and sometimes alter citizenship, and to make legal claims for slavery reparations specifically based on ancestry.
Nelson incisively shows that DNA is a portal to the past that yields insight for the present and future, shining a light on social traumas and historical injustices that still resonate today. Science can be a crucial ally to activism to spur social change and transform twenty-first-century racial politics. But Nelson warns her readers to be discerning: for the social repair we seek can’t be found in even the most sophisticated science. Engrossing and highly original, The Social Life of DNA is a must-read for anyone interested in race, science, history and how our reckoning with the past may help us to chart a more just course for tomorrow.

2018 documentary film directed by Tim Wardle

通过民意调查来量化美国人的情绪，这看起来是一种评估人们需要、不偏不倚的方法，在本书书中，作者却论证说：测量公众舆论的方式影响到选民、立法者和记者们解释公众舆论的方式。通过追踪美国从19世纪的模拟投票到当前的抽样调查的公众舆论历史，作者表明了数字如何既承担着工具性功能，又承担着符号性功能；不仅扩散着中立性信息，还让渡权威。她指出，民意调查的科学诱惑力并没有充分地提升公共辩论，相反，它常常通过窄化公共辩论的边界，促使我们忽略公共问题的某些维度。在分析公众舆论的量化如何影响到当代政治和民主进程的基础上，作者针对美国政治运作提出了一些根本性的，却又难以解决的问题。

20世纪70年代初，本书首次面世时，美国正处于危机之中：理查德?尼克松不光彩地辞去总统职务，越南战争正走向灾难性的结局，大学正从学问的殿堂堕落成疯人院……
在世人大多对美国的未来感到沮丧时，作为当代保守主义运动的思想导师，柯克却满怀希望地期盼美国秩序的复兴，将其根基牢牢锚定在《旧约》中的先知时代，上下纵横三千多年，不无洞见地指出，从古希腊罗马到基督教的中世纪和宗教改革，西方历史的演变过程时时都在酝酿美国秩序的种子：耶路撒冷的信仰和伦理、雅典的理性与荣耀、罗马的美德与力量、伦敦的法律与市场，所有这一切都将融汇到由清教徒肇始的美国秩序之中。
在柯克看来，美国的成功之道似乎可以概括如下：宗教信念派生出有秩序的自由观；有秩序的自由观派生出自由市场和有限政府的制度安排；自由市场和有限政府的制度安排则为美国经济、社会和个人活力的发挥提供了尽可能多的保障。
柯克念兹在兹的是，让美国保持自由和繁荣的那些永恒之道，而这些永恒之道就蕴藏在美国和西方文明的传统之中。

Years have passed since the Three Musketeers, Aramis, Athos and Porthos, have fought together with their friend, D'Artagnan. But with the tyrannical King Louis using his power to wreak havoc in the kingdom while his twin brother, Philippe, remains imprisoned, the Musketeers reunite to abduct Louis and replace him with Philippe.

在1870年至1970年的一个世纪里，一场经济变革席卷美国，使美国人民的生活水平空前提高。内燃机、电力、电灯、室内管道、汽车、电话、飞机、空调、电视等一系列伟大发明和后续的增量式创新不仅推动了美国经济的高速增长，也彻底改变了美国人的生活和工作方式。户外体力劳动被空调环境中的室内劳动替代，烦琐的家务劳动越来越多地由电器设备承担，光明驱走了黑暗，取代隔离的不仅是旅游还有将世界带入客厅的电视。更重要的是，一个新生儿预期将活到72岁而不是45岁。全球金融危机后，美国能重续这一“特殊世纪”的辉煌吗？互联网和人工智能等新技术的发展能带来同样的经济改革吗？
此书将经济学与历史学相结合，既有对历史的生动叙述，也有对经济现象的深入分析，既从普通民众视角考察家庭日常生活和工作的细节，又以经济学家视角在经济增长这一更广阔的背景下解释这些细节，为读者呈现了一个“特殊世纪”的全景图。通过这样的分析，作者对上述两个问题的回答是：1870年至1970年的颠覆式经济变革及其创造的辉煌不可再现。在他看来，美国的生产率增长已经开始放缓，不平等加剧、教育停滞、人口老龄化、大学生债务和联邦政府债务不断增加，都将进一步阻碍生产率增长。走出困境必须找到新的办法。
此书既是对过去一个世纪的彻底变革的致敬，也是对未来更艰难时代的预言。在当前关于经济增长前景的争论中，此书所做的分析不容忽视。
