Discovering Mary Whyte: A Watercolor Journey
The artistâs name is Mary Whyte. I first encountered her watercolor work in her book, Watercolor for the Serious Beginner. At the time â Iâd say around 1999 â I knew very little about painting watercolor pictures. Basically, she was my first teacher, or, maybe, one of two or three people who had written really good books to get me started. Mostly, though, she discouraged me. The picture on theâŠ

A Friend in the Audio Business
You may not know the name Paul McGowan. If youâre interested in high-end audio, and/or you listen to a lot of recorded music, Paul is someone you ought to know. Heâs the âPâ in âPS Audio,â a leading maker of quality loudspeakers. He and his team have designed and built all sorts of audio products. And heâs been doing this for a half-century. That experience is now captured in a library of ten (!)âŠ

Around the World with Joe Boyd
Every night, for the past two months, I have gone to bed with Joe Boyd. He wrote a book thatâs more than 900 pages long â far too cumbersome to be read anyplace except on my pillow. Hereâs a photo of the author, the UK cover art, and the US cover art. As it happens, itâs a terrific book, and I loved every minute of it. The title is: And the Roots of Rhythm Remain: A Journey Through GlobalâŠ

A Forever Job
Tenure is a strange concept. Imagine â a job for life! Not many professions support the idea of tenure. Outside of education, Federal judges work with a lifetime guarantee, as long as their behavior is âgoodâ (a term that can be widely interpreted). Some clergy, and some research scientists may enjoy tenured positions, and some union workers, with especially strong contracts, may be assuredâŠ

We Have Some of the Answers
Answers to big questions may not be so hard to find. Better public schools? Renewable energy? Health care? These problems are being solved all over the world, but most people donât know much about whatâs being done and why it might just work in our own countries. Thereâs a new book called Another World Is Possible: Lessons for America from Around the Globe, but I think the subtitle under-sellsâŠ

Generational Loss
According to the charts and analysis in Jean W. Twengeâs new book, Generations, some disturbing patterns are emerging. In this case, we seems to be the children and teenagers, our offspring, the people who will manage peace and prosperity as they engage in human progress. Perhaps âwillâ is an unreasonable term because, in many ways, that progress has already begun. There has been a precipitousâŠ

How to (Video) Record Just One Person on ZOOM
This seems like it should be easy, but itâs not, so I thought I would capture the steps I used to record ONLY the person I am interviewing â and not my own video image. 1 â Sign into the ZOOM call, and make sure you are the HOST. 2 â Blur your video background, if you like. 3 â Log into a second computer on a ZOOM account that is not your own. The computer can be the same wifi network as yourâŠ
Living in the Mechanical World
Wendy is walking around in top hat. The hat contains a window. Inside the window, there is a rosebud. During our brief conversation, the rosebud blooms into a full-sized red rose. With her partner, Mark, they have found a niche, making very clever flip books that capture the heart and the imagination. At their display table at the recent Automatoncon, an animal travels from one flip to anotherâŠ

Dogmen & Dynasty
The castle and the surrounding landscape are magnificent, so I thought I would begin with a big picture. Martyn Rady is a historian and a very good storyteller. He is a Professor Emeritus of Central European History at University College London. He is also a leading expert on the history of Central Europe, which happens to be one of the regions of the world that is, for many people, myselfâŠ

Acoustical Magic
I was doubtful. My listening room, which is also my office, has all sorts of odd angles, so any sort of acoustic panel treatment would be based upon best guesses. You see, sound from loudspeakers has a tendency to bounce off all sorts of surfaces, and not just once. It bounces off the carpeted floor, but itâs also absorbed by the carpet. So we have â and every room has â a combination ofâŠ

Galax, Floyd and Other Crooked Places
A little more than ten years ago, I read an article about music in Southwestern Virginia. About two months ago, I found it again, but this time, I decided do more than read and file the article in my âsomedayâ folder. I decided to go, and see what The Crooked Road was all about. Had I known, I would have first picked up Joe Wilsonâs excellent and truly helpful book, A Guide to the Crooked Road:âŠ

It is published by Michael Wiese Productions, which is, hands down, the very best publisher of books about the making of movies. The book is onlyâŠ

Sunday in the Park with James (and Stephen, but Mostly James)
When Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters sang âMove Onâ for the very last time, I was in the audience. There were tears on stage, tears in the aisles. It was their last performance in the lead roles of a most unusual Broadway musical, Sunday in the Park with George. The first act of the musical tells the story of impressionist painter George Seurat and the women who figures so prominently in theâŠ

More Than One History
More Than One History
Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam during their 1955 trial So hereâs the problem. When we talk about history, we usually refer to one particular story, and one particular point of view. In 2021, thatâs woefully inadequate, but the additional material makes history nearly impossible to teach within the confines of a well-organized school curriculum. In 2015, TIME Magazine wrote about â25 Moments ThatâŠ

LAND, from the prolific Simon Winchester
Simon Winchester has taught me a great deal. Including: in any given used bookshop, there will always be at least one nonfiction book by Simon Winchester that I have not read before. Past encounters, each one a pleasure, include: Outposts: Journeys to the Surviving Relics of the British Empire; Hong Kong: Here Be Dragons; Korea: A Walk Through the Land of Miracles; Pacific Rising; The Map thatâŠ
