This is a wonderful book about science that is found in origami, machines and nature. And it's written so anyone can make them in many forms, for fun, crafting, exploring.

With election chaos, I sought incite from these two books, Lewis' dystopia that won Noble Prize in 1930s and Ways and Means, brilliant look at how the Civil War was won with Financial battles possibly more important than the bloody battlefields. Leave your reaction, if so moved.

Plum Sykes, the bestselling author of Bergdorf  Blondes, The Debutant Divorcee, and Party Girls and Die in Pearls (my favorite),skewers the rich and ridiculous in her new novel WIVES LIKE US (Harper Collins, 5/14/24). The heroines are substantial women, the socially ambitious denizens of the hilly British Cotswolds. They command their hereditary estates, amid quaint hamlets,with an eye on the London press..

For these literally entitled British women, being a successful wife means going to fantastic lengths in a quests for excellence. "Keeping up with the Jonses" is a dire competition, where one's brand, a uniquely individual identity, must out-class all competitors. This very social contest pits the heroines of  WIVES LIKE US against the less tasteful or virtuous, yet equally ingenious and perhaps unscrupulous wives of other estates. Of course such expectations, fantastic or not, carry the frisson of risk-- failure and self undoing.
