"Nerds. You know, Mitch Mathews, Steve Daily, and Collin Fellers? Smart, glasses wearing, shirt tucked in dorks?" Erin said. "Collin doesn't wear glasses," Reba whispered. Did Collin really get teased a lot? Not that she cared of course. But she couldn't help feeling like she should do something about it. "Duh! Don't you see him wearing those ugly thick glasses whenever he reads?" Erin pointed out. "Oh, I guess not," Reba shrugged. "Ya, and Cole is sticking up for them? How weird is that?" Erin asked. "Very," Reba answered. "Okay, bye!" Erin said, giving Reba a quick hug and then skipping away. Reba looked around her at the deserted school grounds and began to slowly walk home.

Today, the platinum card of relevancy is Being Cool, Having Cool, Wearing Cool, Selling Cool and Explaining Cool. Arguably, Cool is one of the most powerful economic drivers since the evolution from the stamp pad to the mouse pad. It's about status; being accepted, elevated, rewarded, admired and recognized as something more than you are. There are plenty of opinions out there of what constitutes Cool, but all tap into the nostalgic and wistful idea that Cool is still about attitude, autonomy and individuality. We are told to be Cool you have to be unique, have a degree of the renegade, and an "I don't give a damn attitude." The problem is, it just isn't true anymore. We can get Cool with dollars and eyeballs. We don't need to do more than follow someone who's going to tell us what to shop for, how to look, what shorthand language we need to use on social media and whom to follow. And there are plenty of brands, pseudo-experts and evangelists directing the traffic. But we're evolving. This is the age of doing, accomplishing, participating, creating. The idea of Burning Cool is elevating and leveraging your power. It's about understanding that stuff is just stuff, and there is no magic in a logo or brand that makes anyone Cool. Living the verbs and consuming with consciousness is the New Cool. It's the things people do, and actions people take that have social value, clout, relevance and recognition. A New Cool is happening, and you want to be part of it.

An “entertaining” study of the enduring concept of coolness, and the mix of cultures and historical events that shaped it (The New York Times). Cool. It was a new word and a new way to be, and in a single generation, it became the supreme compliment of American culture. The Origins of Cool in Postwar America uncovers the hidden history of this concept and its new set of codes that came to define a global attitude and style. As Joel Dinerstein reveals, cool began as a stylish defiance of racism, a challenge to suppressed sexuality, a philosophy of individual rebellion, and a youthful search for social change. Through portraits of iconic figures, he illuminates the cultural connections and artistic innovations among Lester Young, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Marlon Brando, James Dean, and others. We eavesdrop on conversations among Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Miles Davis, and on a forgotten debate between Lorraine Hansberry and Norman Mailer over the “white Negro” and black cool. We come to understand how the cool worlds of Beat writers and Method actors emerged from the intersections of film noir, jazz, and existentialism. Out of this mix, Dinerstein sketches nuanced definitions of cool that unite concepts from African-American and Euro-American culture: the stylish stoicism of the ethical rebel loner; the relaxed intensity of the improvising jazz musician; the effortless physical grace of the Method actor. To be cool is not to be hip and to be hot is definitely not to be cool. “Eminently readable. Much more than just a history of cool, this book is a studied examination of the very real, often problematic social issues that popular culture responds to.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The kind of book that makes learning enjoyable.” —The Wall Street Journal “Superb.” —Times Higher Education

Cool. The concept has distinctly American qualities and it permeates almost every aspect of contemporary American culture. From Kool cigarettes and the Peanuts cartoon's Joe Cool to West Side Story (Keep cool, boy.) and urban slang (Be cool. Chill out.), the idea of cool, in its many manifestations, has seized a central place in our vocabulary. Where did this preoccupation with cool come from? How was Victorian culture, seemingly so ensconced, replaced with the current emotional status quo? From whence came American Cool? These are the questions Peter Stearns seeks to answer in this timely and engaging volume. American Cool focuses extensively on the transition decades, from the erosion of Victorianism in the 1920s to the solidification of a cool culture in the 1960s. Beyond describing the characteristics of the new directions and how they altered or amended earlier standards, the book seeks to explain why the change occured. It then assesses some of the outcomes and longer-range consequences of this transformation.

What will the fracturing of the United States look like? After the Revolution is an edge-of-your-seat answer to that question. In the year 2070, twenty years after a civil war and societal collapse of the "old" United States, extremist militias battle in the crumbling Republic of Texas. As the violence spreads like wildfire and threatens the Free City of Austin, three unlikely allies will have to work together in an act of resistance to stop the advance of the forces of the white Christian ethnostate known as the "Heavenly Kingdom." Out three protagonists include Manny, a fixer that shuttles journalists in and out of war zones and provides footage for outside news agencies. Sasha is a teenage woman that joins the Heavenly Kingdom before she discovers the ugly truths behind their movement. Finally, we have Roland: A US Army vet kitted out with cyberware (including blood that heals major trauma wounds and a brain that can handle enough LSD to kill an elephant), tormented by broken memories, and 12,000 career kills under his belt. In the not-so-distant world Evans conjures we find advanced technology, a gender expansive culture, and a roving Burning Man-like city fueled by hedonistic excess. This powerful debut novel from Robert Evans is based on his investigative reporting from international conflict zones and on increasingly polarized domestic struggles. It is a vision of our very possible future.

This “ambitious [and] delightful” (The New York Times) work of literary nonfiction interweaves the science and history of the powerful refrigerant (and dangerous greenhouse gas) Freon with a haunting meditation on how to live meaningfully and morally in a rapidly heating world. In After Cooling, Eric Dean Wilson braids together air-conditioning history, climate science, road trips, and philosophy to tell the story of the birth, life, and afterlife of Freon, the refrigerant that ripped a hole larger than the continental United States in the ozone layer. As he traces the refrigerant’s life span from its invention in the 1920s—when it was hailed as a miracle of scientific progress—to efforts in the 1980s to ban the chemical (and the resulting political backlash), Wilson finds himself on a journey through the American heartland, trailing a man who buys up old tanks of Freon stockpiled in attics and basements to destroy what remains of the chemical before it can do further harm. Wilson is at heart an essayist, looking far and wide to tease out what particular forces in American culture—in capitalism, in systemic racism, in our values—combined to lead us into the Freon crisis and then out. “Meticulously researched and engagingly written” (Amitav Ghosh), this “knockout debut” (New York Journal of Books) offers a rare glimpse of environmental hope, suggesting that maybe the vast and terrifying problem of global warming is not beyond our grasp to face.
