But Ice doesn’t end in the past.

Brady has made appearances on the BBC\, NPR\, and PBS.

SUMMARY:Joel Blecher for "Merits of the Plague"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nThe preeminent meditation on plagues and pandemics from the Islamic world\, now in English for the first time. Six hundred years ago\, the author of this landmark work of history and religious thought—an esteemed judge\, poet\, and scholar in Cairo—survived the bubonic plague\, which took the lives of three of his children\, not to mention tens of millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time\, he reflects on the origins of plagues—from those of the Prophet Muhammad’s era to the Black Death of his own—and what it means that such catastrophes could have been willed by God\, while also chronicling the fear\, isolation\, scapegoating\, economic tumult\, political failures\, and crises of faith that he lived through. But in considering the meaning of suffering and mass death\, he also offers a message of radical hope. Weaving together accounts of evil jinn\, religious stories\, medical manuals\, death-count registers\, poetry\, and the author’s personal anecdotes\, Merits of the Plague is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion\, patience\, and care for those around us. \n“Remarkable . . . A landmark work of history and religious thought . . . Surprisingly modern and has a lot to say to us in the era of coronavirus.” —History Unplugged Podcast\n\n\nAbout the Translator:\nJoel Blecher (editor/translator) is an associate professor of history at The George Washington University and the author of Said the Prophet of God: Hadith Commentary across a Millennium as well as numerous articles. His work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Library of Congress. He co-translated Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani’s Merits of the Plague with Mairaj Syed\, a professor of religion at UC Davis. \nEvent will be in person.

SUMMARY:Ben Terris for "The Big Break"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nThe Big Break investigates how Washington works\, and how different kinds of people try to make it work for them. Ben Terris presents an inside history of this crucial moment in Washington\, reporting from exclusive parties\, poker nights\, fundraisers\, secluded farms outside town and the halls of Congress; among the oddballs and opportunists and true believers. This book is about the people who see this moment as an opportunity to bet big—on their country or maybe just on themselves. It will take a close look at Washington’s bold-faced names as they try to get their bearings on the post-Trump (and possibly pre-Trump) landscape. And it will introduce readers to the behind-the-scenes players — MAGA pilgrims and Resistance flamekeepers and shapeshifting veterans — who believe they know what Washington\, and America\, must do if they’re going to survive\, or even thrive. \nTrump’s arrival in Washington represented a big break in how the city operated. He surrounded himself with outsiders; power structures reorganized around those who knew him or his family and those who could flatter and influence his base. He changed the way the game was played\, only it wasn’t actually a game at all. When pro-Trump elements both inside and outside of government plotted to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election\, the Capitol became a combat zone\, then a military fortress. \nIt was\, to put it lightly\, a destabilizing time. But how much did the Trump years really change Washington? Has Joe Biden’s presidency heralded a return to normal\, as many had hoped? What did ‘normal’ mean before Trump\, and what do people think it means now? \nThe Big Break will follow a cast of D.C. characters in search of answers to these questions. They are a diverse crew—a pollster with a gambling habit\, an oil heiress with a big heart\, a cowboy lobbyist\, a Republican kingmaker who decided to love Trump and his right-hand man who decided he couldn’t any longer. They all share at least one thing in common: They had seen their country go through a Big Break\, and they’d come to get theirs. Rough flowing\, organic compositions that carry the reader on a delightfully strange\, compelling\, and heartwarming adventure.” — David Wiesner\, 3-time winner of the Caldecott Medal \n“An intimate\, entertaining and damning portrait of the way Washington works\, not just now but maybe always.”—Washington Post Review\n\n“No one gets today’s Washington like Ben Terris – in all its particular contours and caricatures. THE BIG BREAK is the definitive accounting of ‘how it works’ in this ongoing post-Trump (pre-Trump?) maelstrom. I just imbibed this book.” —Mark Leibovich\, author of This Town and Thank You for Your Servitude\n\n\nAbout the Author:\nBen Terris is a writer in The Washington Post’s Style section with a focus on national politics. He lives in Maryland with his wife\, Rachel\, and sons Ralph and Jack. \nEvent will be in person.

SUMMARY:Andrew Auseon for "Spellbinders"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nBen doesn’t feel chosen by anybody—not by his friends\, who haven’t kept in touch since he moved after his parents’ divorce\, or by his mom\, who’s so busy he barely sees her. He spends all his time living in fantasy worlds and writing extensively planned adventure campaigns in his role-playing-game notebook. So when Niara\, a character who could be right out of one of his favorite games\, shows up and tells him he’s destined to save her realm (like\, foretold-by-a-prophecy destined)\, Ben has two possible moves: tell her the truth or play along. He’s tired of feeling left behind\, so his choice is clear—game on. \nOne interdimensional portal later\, Ben is in full hero mode. At first\, adventuring in Lux seems like a dream come true\, but pretending to be the Chosen One—and lying to his new friends—isn’t quite what he imagined it to be. And the more he learns about Lux and his quest\, the more he realizes this is way beyond a game—and the rules seem to be changing as he goes. In fact\, it might be time for him to write some new ones. \n“Ben may only be pretending to be the ‘Chosen One’—but I’ve definitely chosen this one as my favorite new fantasy series.”\n—Max Brallier\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Last Kids on Earth series \n“Spellbinders hooked me from the beginning\, but it became one of my favorites around the first flying narwhals.’“\n—James Riley\, New York Times bestselling author of the Story Thieves series \n“To use the local parlance\, a “ridonkulously” entertaining kickoff.” —Booklist \nAbout the Author:\nAndrew Auseon is the author of several books for children and young adults\, and he is the writer of numerous bestselling and award-winning video games. A transplant from the Midwest\, he lives in Washington\, D.C. with his family and two very naughty cats. He loves breakfast cereal\, the sound of the ocean\, and the feeling of a brand-new book in his hands. \nEvent will be in person.

SUMMARY:Vicki Johnson for "Molly's Tuxedo"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:  \nMolly wants to look her best for picture day at her school\, and what looks better than a tux? Molly’s school picture day is coming up\, and she wants to have a perfect portrait taken to hang on their wall. Her mom has picked out a nice dress for her\, but Molly knows from experience that dresses are trouble. They have tight places and hard-to-reach zippers\, and worst of all\, no pockets! Luckily\, she has the perfect thing to save picture day- her brother’s old tuxedo! But mom doesn’t want her to wear a tuxedo in the photo; she thinks Molly looks best in the dress. Can Molly find the courage to follow her heart and get her mom to realize just how awesome she’d look in a tux?

SUMMARY:Brendan Ballou for "Plunder: Private Equity's Plan to Pillage America"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nPrivate equity surrounds us. Firms like Blackstone\, Carlyle\, and KKR are among the largest employers in America and hold assets that rival those of small countries. Yet few understand what these firms are or how they work. \nIn Plunder\, Brendan Ballou explains how private equity has reshaped American business by raising prices\, reducing quality\, cutting jobs\, and shifting resources from productive to unproductive parts of the economy. Ballou vividly illustrates how many private equity firms buy up retailers\, medical practices\, prison services\, nursing-home chains\, and mobile-home parks\, among other businesses\, using little of their own money to do it and avoiding debt and liability for their actions. Forced to take on huge debts and pay extractive fees\, companies purchased by private equity firms are often left bankrupt\, or shells of their former selves\, with consequences to communities that long depended on them. \n“A powerful\, maddening account of some of the chief drivers of inequality and immiseration in the world’s richest economy.” —Kirkus \n“Private-equity firms don’t just transform our economy: they co-opt and compromise our government and our democracy. As few other people can\, Ballou has shown how private equity has been so phenomenally successful in advancing its agenda at every level of government\, and how government has been so tremendously solicitous of private equity. For anyone who wants to understand what’s happening in our economy and our democracy\, Plunder is required reading.” —Russ Feingold\, former senator & president of the American Constitution Society \nAbout the Author:\nBrendan Ballou is a federal prosecutor and served as Special Counsel for Private Equity in the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. Previously\, he worked in private practice\, and before that\, in the National Security Division of the Justice Department\, where he advised the White House on counterterrorism and other policies. He graduated from Columbia University and Stanford Law School. \nEvent will be in person.

SUMMARY:Claudia Friddell for "Cool Off and Ride! A Trolley Trip to Beat the Heat"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nThis historical picture book about 1930s Baltimore residents beating the heat the old-fashioned way—by riding a trolley!— is filled with fascinating information on public transit and staying cool before the advent of air conditioning. \nEveryone in Baltimore is hot and sticky\, from little Hazel playing on the slide to the grandma knitting on the porch. So when evening comes\, they all jump at the chance for a little “cool off and ride.” The whole neighborhood–from the Taylor twins to Grandpa\, and even the dog!—piles onto a breezy homemade roller coaster\, a city trolley! \nIn this charming\, rhythmic romp\, Claudia Friddell and Jenn Harney take us back to a time before air conditioning when you had to cool off any way you could. And the Cool Off and Ride Program was certainly a popular way! More than 8\,000 people rode the trolleys every evening in the summer. Taking the streetcar brought the whole neighborhood together\, and everyone’s fares helped keep the Baltimore streetcars running. This STEAM title is a terrific read-aloud that will also educate kids about weather and the history of transit in the United States. \n“Friddell’s songlike text captures the city’s various characters on this summer day…All are invited to “cool off and ride” in a repeated refrain. Retro illustrations capture an atmosphere of hot weather in an old-school neighborhood and show a multiracial cast of characters finding a variety of ways to cope with the weather. While the premise here will undoubtedly have local appeal\, any child who has experienced summer heat will understand the need to escape it and enjoy this rhythmic\, lyrical tale…A gently humorous depiction of a city’s effort to beat the heat.” —Kirkus Reviews \nAbout the Author:\nClaudia Friddell is the author of several children’s books\, including To the Front!: Clara Barton Braves the Battle of Antietam\, Grace Banker and Her Hello Girls Answer the Call: The Heroic Story of WWI Telephone Operators\, and Saving Lady Liberty: Joseph Pulitzer’s Fight for the Statue of Liberty. She has worked with children throughout her career\, which included being a therapist\, a school counselor\, and a teacher. \nEvent will be in person.

SUMMARY:Dana Maier for "Skip to the Fun Parts: Cartoons and Complaints About the Creative Process"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nThe perfect companion for anyone struggling to keep their sense of humor while staring at a blank page\, Skip to the Fun Parts offers next-to-zero creative advice\, and is instead filled with cartoons\, commiserations\, and jokes about the creative process. \nLike you\, syndicated cartoonist Dana Maier wants a creativity shortcut—a magical fairy who will both come up with brilliant ideas and grant the energy and discipline to churn them out. This book is not that magical shortcut—you won’t find stirring literary quotes or a foolproof system for sparking inspiration here—but it does provide commiseration\, comics\, jokes\, and reflections about the often-painful act of making something original. \nDrawing on her experience as a cartoonist for The New Yorker and other publications\, Maier explores topics such as embracing the agony of the creative process\, how the pandemic has affected creative people in different ways\, and the power of channeling your inner six-year-old. While more traditional creativity guides often make readers feel judged\, Skip to the Fun Parts offers amusing insights about the realities of the creative process—highly entertaining for artists of all kinds and 100% advice-free! \n“Of all the books I’ve ever read on the creative process (and I’ve read every one)\, this is by far the most useful\, for its ability to remind me why we make art in the first place. I know I will turn to it again and again whenever I need to re-ignite the spark of childlike joy that fuels creativity.” —Mari Andrew\, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet? and My Inner Sky \n“A funny\, irreverent sendup of creative self-help and a comforting depiction of the agony and ecstasy in the creative process.” —Austin Kleon\, New York Times bestselling author of STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST \nAbout the Authors:\n\nDana Jeri Maier is an artist\, syndicated cartoonist\, and frequent contributor to The New Yorker’s “Shouts and Murmurs.” She lives in Washington\, D.C.\nTim Kreider has written for The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, The Week\, The Men’s Journal\, and Nerve.com. His popular comic strip\, The Pain—When Will It End?\, ran in alternative weeklies for twelve years and has been collected in three books by Fantagraphics. He divides his time between New York City and an undisclosed location on the Chesapeake Bay.\n\nEvent will be in person.

SUMMARY:Emily Ettlinger for "Skeleanor The Decomposer"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book:\nAn instantly charming and vivid chapter-book graphic novel\, starring a music-obsessed skeleton\, Skeleanor\, and her quest to find her sound (and her confidence) by debut creator Emily Ettlinger. \nSkeleanor loves music more than life itself. There’s just one problem: She has a bit more rattle than rhythm at the moment. No matter what type of instrument she plays—from the fiddle to the xylobone—she always seems to scare the people of Little Casketon away. But with the Little Casketon Summershine festival coming up\, and the town band missing a player\, maybe Skeleanor (along with the help of her best friend\, Batima) could show people her skills and finally take center stage. \nHilarious and heartfelt\, Skeleanor the Decomposer by debut author and illustrator Emily Ettlinger is a story about chasing your passions no matter what other people say. Sometimes\, all you need is a dream\, your friends\, and a little music. \nAbout the Author:\nEmily Ettlinger is an artist from almost-DC\, Maryland. When she’s not drawing\, you can find her working on one of an infinite number of sewing\, furniture\, or toy-making projects.She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in illustration. Skeleanor the Decomposer is her first graphic novel. Visit her online at emiett.com. \nEvent will be in person.
