The most democratic form of art-making, it requires nothing more than a plain surface and a stub of pencil, a piece of chalk or an inky brush. Our prehistoric ancestors drew with natural pigments on the walls of caves, and every subsequent culture has practised drawing\u2014whether on papyrus, parchment, or paper. While painting and sculpture have been shaped heavily by money and influence, drawing has always offered extraordinary creative latitude. Susan Owens offers a glimpse over artists\u2019 shoulders\u2014from Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Hokusai to Van Gogh, K\u00e4the Kollwitz, and Yayoi Kusama\u2014as they work, think, and innovate, as they scrutinise the world around them or escape into imagination.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-162142\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-2-201x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-2-201x300.jpeg 201w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-2.jpeg 234w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America\u2019s Food Industry<\/strong> by Austin Frerick<\/h3>\n<p>This is the story of seven titans of the food industry, their rise to power, and the consequences for workers, eaters, and democracy itself. Readers will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. They will visit the Disneyland of agriculture, where school children ride trams through mechanized warehouses filled with tens of thousands of cows that never see the light of day. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay\u2014especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. Frerick paints a stark portrait of corporate consolidation, but it also shows that a fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible\u2014if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-162141\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-3-195x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-3-195x300.jpeg 195w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-3.jpeg 234w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>The Quickening: Antarctica, Motherhood, and Cultivating Hope in a Warming World <\/strong>by Elizabeth Rush<\/h3>\n<p>In 2019, fifty-seven scientists and crew set out onboard the Nathaniel B.

Poon<\/h3>\n<p>Before being struck down by the US Supreme Court in June 2023, affirmative action remained one of the few remaining policy tools to address racial inequalities, revealing peculiar contours of racism and anti-racist strategies in America. Poon conducts interviews with Asian Americans throughout the US who have been actively engaged in policy debates over race-conscious admissions or affirmative action. Through these exchanges, she finds that Asian American identity remains deeply unsettled in a contest between those invested in reaching the top of the racial hierarchy alongside whiteness and those working toward a vision of justice and humanity co-constructed through cross-racial solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-162147\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-5-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-book-325-5.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>The Elements of Marie Curie: How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science<\/strong> by Dava Sobel<\/h3>\n<p>For decades Marie Curie was the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings, and despite constant illness she travelled far and wide to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined.
