"A great book on ecomodernism, by Stewart Brand @stewartbrand of Whole Earth Catalog fame: https://www.amazon.com/Whole-Earth-Discipline-Transgenic-Geoengineering/dp/0143118285"

"The best analysis of this terrain is the nonfiction appendix to Rebecca Goldstein's "36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction." (It's also the appendix to the protagonist's bestseller.) I'm not unbiased, but "36" is moving & wickedly funny; the best book that either of us has written. https://t.co/FFJGQNWL2b"

"Among the best & most important books on war I've read: The Internationalists By Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro https://t.co/3kfumg77pm"

""If 'the law is a profession of words,' it's not carried out very professionally, as anyone who has struggled through the legalese in a statute, a contract, or a brief will attest. To the rescue comes Appellate Judge David Weinzweig and an enjoyable book filled with charm, actionable advice, and yes, good writing." Zen and the Art of Persuasive Writing, out this Tuesday. https://t.co/f3cHEmhEgC"
