An inspiring Indian American cookbook from a popular social media influencer and home cook. On her blog, The Chutney Life, Palak Patel breaks down the intricacies of Indian cooking into accessible recipes for all home cooks. From the importance of a good tadka - a means through which whole spices are tempered in oil to increase their flavor profile - to countless easy hacks such as upgrading a classic can of Campbell's Tomato Soup with a little ginger, garlic, and coriander, these recipes are fresh, inventive, and irresistible. With Patel's signature snacks - spreading lasan ni chutney (a spicy spread made by pounding together fresh garlic cloves and chili powder in a mortar and pestle) inside of a quesadilla or adding just a touch of cumin and coriander powder to cream of cauliflower soup - you'll never get bored or see the same old stuff.

Mercury Rising
By Shesol, Jeff
A riveting history of the epic orbital flight that put America back into the space race.If the United States couldn't catch up to the Soviets in space, how could it compete with them on Earth? That was the question facing John F. Kennedy at the height of the Cold War -- a perilous time when the Soviet Union built the wall in Berlin, tested nuclear bombs more destructive than any in history, and beat the United States to every major milestone in space. The race to the heavens seemed a race for survival -- and America was losing.On February 20, 1962, when John Glenn blasted into orbit aboard Friendship 7, his mission was not only to circle the planet; it was to calm the fears of the free world and renew America's sense of self-belief. Mercury Rising re-creates the tension and excitement of a flight that shifted the momentum of the space race and put the United States on the path to the moon.

Barbara Kruger
By Eleey, Peter
Five decades of iconic and incisive art from Barbara KrugerSince the mid-1970s, Barbara Kruger (born 1945) has been interrogating the hierarchies of power and control in works that often combine visual and written language.

This volume traces her continuously evolving practice to reveal how she adapts her work in accordance with the moment, site and context. The book features a range of striking images -- from her analogue paste-ups of the 1980s to digital productions of the last two decades, including new works produced on the occasion of the exhibition. Also featured are singular works in vinyl, her large-scale room wraps, multichannel videos, site-specific installations and commissioned works.

A Guide to Autism in the Workplace
By Steinberg, Samuel
Being neurodivergent means having a brain that functions differently than the dominant societal standards of "normal."Technology isn't the only field that can benefit from people with ASD. Microsoft launched an Autism Program to specifically hire individuals with autism. Things like being a team player or great communication skills don't highlight what an autistic person can add to a company.While there are many benefits to hiring people with autism, the interviewing process can often be a stopping block.Many people with autism report that they aren't able to get a job because they don't interview well. For many, the interview process was the part that was most stressful.Roughly 60% of people with ASD have average or above average intelligence, yet 85% are unemployed" an article published by Harvard Business Review called Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage.
