Stitching science : exploring science from A-Z / by Wright Vartanian, Lauren,artist.; Thomas, Keltie,1966-author.(CARDINAL)460635;

"Science gets the stitched treatment in this stunning science book from textile artist Lauren Wright Vartanian. During the pandemic, Lauren started stitching an ABC book of science, but it soon became clear that some of the topics she was exploring were too advanced for your average toddler. Out of this was born Stitching Science, a book for any person (young or old) who loves science, art and how the two intersect. Scientific topics ranging from Atom to Zenith come to life at the end of Lauren's skilled needle, and lively and informative text by Keltie Thomas explains key concepts and delivers interesting facts for each subject. Readers will explore topics in physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics and more, such as: B is for Black hole, D is for DNA, F is for Fractal and Fibonacci Numbers, O is for Organ, Q is for Quantum, T is for Triceratops and Tyrannosaurs, and W is for Weather. Lauren's meticulous textile artworks are sure to enchant readers, and the art has been expertly scanned to best show the painstaking detail and skill she applied to each panel. Stitching Science is a charming and informative introduction to a wide variety of scientific concepts as well as a beautiful art book from a talented textile artist."--

Dear cyborgs : a novel / by Lim, Eugene,author.(CARDINAL)787382;

"A fractal fable about the possibility and power of protest as told by three superheroes on their lunch break In a small Midwestern town, two Asian American boys bond over their outcast status and a mutual love of comic books. Meanwhile, in an alternative or perhaps future universe, a team of superheroes ponders modern society during their time off. Between black-ops missions and rescuing hostages, they swap stories of artistic malaise and muse on the seemingly inescapable grip of market economics. Gleefully toying with the conventions of the novel, Dear Cyborgs weaves together the story of a friendship's dissolution with a provocative and lively meditation on protest. Through a series of linked monologues, a surprising cast of characters explores narratives of resistance--protest art, eco-terrorists, Occupy squatters, pyromaniacal militants--and the extent to which any of these can truly withstand the pragmatic demands of contemporary capitalism. All the while, a mysterious cybernetic book of clairvoyance beckons, and trusted allies start to disappear. Playfully blending comic-book villains with cultural critiques, Eugene Lim's Dear Cyborgs is a fleet-footed literary exploration of power, friendship, and creativity that recalls authors like Tom McCarthy and Valeria Luiselli. Ambitious and knowing, it braids together hard-boiled detective pulps, subversive philosophy, and Hollywood chase scenes, unfolding like the composites and revelations of a dream. "--
