这本精美的小书是我经常教授的一本书，但它也是无尽的灵感源泉和希望的灯塔。德卡拉瓦拍摄的哈林区街道和家庭生活的私密黑白照片让我们能够通过黑暗、阴影和光明的复杂发挥来“感受”黑人社会，这与深刻的情感力量产生共鸣。他的作品是我研究核心概念的一个典型例子：“视觉频率”——这个术语描述了通过引发强烈的情绪反应而记录到超出我们所见的图像。它捕捉到了黑人社会不可言喻的品质及其即使在最具挑战性的情况下也无法抑制的努力。

在这部诗集中，物理和情感特质在生动与无生命之间自由游走，仿佛整个世界都是用虚线写成的。麦克莱伦的诗歌，以其雕刻般的换行、引人入胜的元诗层次和如种子荚般的标点符号，如果我们再仔细品味，可能会在书页的边缘之外、屏幕的生长光线之外，甚至（尤其是）在我们尚未开始想象的其他边界之外茁壮成长。

科学与工程 Science and engineering  

“The Visual Elements: Handbooks for Communicating Science and Engineering” (University of Chicago Press, 2023 and 2024)By Felice Frankel, research scientist in chemical engineering

“视觉元素”系列中的两本书各自专注于科学视觉交流的不同方面：一本侧重于摄影，另一本侧重于设计。这两本书的共同目标是为科学家和工程师提供指导，帮助他们向公众、资助申请机构、期刊投稿、会议或海报展示以及资助机构有效地交流自己的工作。书中展示了研究人员以清晰、简洁且吸引人的方式展示其工作的重要性，同时保持科学的完整性。

“A Book of Waves” (Duke University Press, 2023)By Stefan Helmreich, professor of anthropology

在本书中，赫尔姆莱希将海浪视为传播我们星球上生态、地缘政治和气候信息的媒介形式。他依据在荷兰、美国、澳大利亚、日本和孟加拉国与海洋学家和海岸工程师的民族志工作，详细阐述了海上和实验室中的科学家如何通过抽象来理解海浪的物质性，并试图用技术语言捕捉这些既是周期性又是不可逆、既是狂野又是平静、既是短暂又是永恒的自然化身。

“An Introduction to System Safety Engineering” (MIT Press, 2023)By Nancy G. Leveson, professor of aeronautics and astronautics

在复杂系统中防止事故和损失需要一种能够容纳前所未有的技术和设计类型的整体视角。莱文森的书涵盖了安全工程的历史；探讨了风险、道德、法律框架和政策影响；并解释了事故发生的原因以及如何在现代、软件密集型系统中减轻风险。书中还包含了诸如挑战者号和哥伦比亚号航天飞机灾难、深水地平线石油泄漏等著名事故的案例分析，展示了系统安全工程在预防未来灾难中的关键作用。

所罗门认为，我们以前解决过威胁地球的问题，我们也能再次做到。她深知这些解决方案的内涵，因为她曾在1986年领导一支前往南极的探险队，并发现了对修复受损臭氧层至关重要的发现，从而在国际上声名鹊起。她见证了从科学研究和公众意识到政治参与、国际协议、行业介入和有效行动的转变过程。所罗门将这些胜利与其他过去的环境胜利——如对抗臭氧层消耗、烟雾、杀虫剂和铅污染——联系起来，提炼出促成变革的关键因素。

The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher, by Lewis Thomas

推荐人：Prof. Sidney Nagel

“我第一次读到这一系列文章是在大学的时候，它一直萦绕在我的心头。我认为它们写得很漂亮，从整体上看，它们让我了解了我们在宇宙中的存在位置。”

Disability Worlds, by Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp

推荐人：Prof. Michele Friedner

“《残疾世界》是由两位研究残疾儿童的资深人类学家发起的，他们探索了家长倡导工作，并努力为残疾儿童（主要是在纽约市）建立新的学术和艺术世界。这本书也是对蓬勃发展的纽约市残疾人艺术界的致敬，也是一封情书。”

Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert, by Sunaura Taylor

推荐人：Prof. Michele Friedner

“残疾生态学思考将土地和环境视为残疾人意味着什么；它探讨了亚利桑那州图森市的环境和残疾行动主义之间的交叉点，那里的主要含水层水已被污染。泰勒也是一位艺术家，在书中，她用绘画和绘画的方式描绘了她想象中的（禁用的）含水层的样子。我再也不会以同样的方式思考沙漠了。”

Independent People, by Halldor Laxness推荐人：Prof. Chris Kennedy

“一个父亲，一个女儿，还有很多羊。草与石，风与雨，雪与冰。自恃与自欺，无明与洞察。工作与收获，剥削与损失。最后，令人心碎的是，回到了父亲和女儿身边。”

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, by Siddhartha Mukherjee推荐人：Prof. Marcus Clark

马库斯·克拉克将这段癌症及其治疗的历史描述为一个科学谦逊的故事。几十年来，根治性乳房切除术被认为是乳腺癌治疗的唯一选择，科学家们也同意这一点，因为它符合常识——直到新的发现和治疗方法证明他们是错误的。“这给我留下了深刻的印象，这是一个真正的科学警示故事，我试图将其传授给其他人。仅仅因为某些东西有意义并且是一个有吸引力的模型，并不意味着它是正确的，”他说。

Thirty Million Words, by Dana Suskind

推荐人：Prof. Fred Chong

“关于坎特雷尔奖，我在获奖者招待会上见到了达娜，并在之后立即拿起了她的书。尽管自本书写作以来事情发生了一些变化，但这个故事非常鼓舞人心，因为她在人工耳蜗植入方面的核心工作如何引导她为社会公益做出更广泛、有影响力的努力。”

The Latehomecomer: A Hmong family memoir, by Kao Kalia Yang

推荐人：Assoc. Prof. Miwa Yasui

“我很欣赏这个以杨祖母的生活经历为中心的第一手资料，揭示了一个家庭和文化在经历战争、贫困、偏见、距离、分离和搬迁的痛苦后坚持和崛起的韧性和决心。在叙事中，你会看到文化、历史和家庭是如何成为他们力量和韧性的基石，这一点通过这个苗族移民家庭的声音得到了完美的描述。”

The World-Ending Fire: The Essential Wendell Berry, by Wendell Berry & Paul Kingsnorth

推荐人：Assoc. Prof. Miwa Yasui

“这本散文集唤醒了我们在生活中的简单事物中发现的希望、价值和意义——关心、服务和热爱我们的邻居、我们的土地、我们的社区，并放慢脚步享受这些被给予的礼物。这些文章表明，正是生活的平凡性——它与我们的历史、遗产、社会和自然的联系赋予了目的和深度的意义，并将其与主导我们现代社会的对进步和进步的不断呼吁形成鲜明对比。在我们生活的快节奏的世界中，需要不断的改变，贝瑞的愿景可以为我们提供一个基础，让我们能够专注并珍惜我们所拥有的生活。”
