In When Women Kill, translated by Sophie Hughes, Chilean author Alia Trabucco Zerán examines four true crime cases, each one a murder committed by a woman, to reveal the backgrounds of those women and the reasons they chose violence. Zerán trained as a lawyer, and this book draws on that training to dissect why some […]| What I Think About When I Think About Reading
Looking for Luddites grew out of author and illustrator John Hewitt’s student interest in the Pennine landscape in the 1970s. It gathers together fourteen sites associated with the Luddite uprisings in 1812, drawn by John in their 21st century contexts and presented with a brief history of their significance. Out of his daily stuff, posted […]| What I Think About When I Think About Reading

Although I've had other books by Cal Newport on my TBR, I've never given Deep Work a second glance.

This book is a history of the Bell Labs run by AT&T for much of the 20th century. These are the labs which produced many of the things I use day to day — Unix and the C programming language for example, although this book focuses on other people present at the lab, and a bit earlier than the Unix people.

2025 is the ninetieth anniversary of the launch of Penguin Books one of the UK’s most enduring and successful publishers. From the outset Penguin was synonymous with its branding with their considered logos, fonts and most vividly their colour coded series – orange for fiction, green for crime fiction, dark blue for biography and so on.[1] Sought after as much for the look as the content, books published by Penguin from the mid 1930s until the early 1970s are icons of British book design.| National Library of Scotland Blog

This book continues the story of General Electric in the period after that covered by The Man Who Broke Capitalism, thus presenting an opportunity to validate if Jack Welch really was the bad guy while also learning more about where Welchism took General Electric in the longer term. This book is very readable, with nice short chapters — for example it introduces Welch as a character, but does not dwell on his time at General Electric more than is necessary.| Made by Mikal
