04.09: Matthew B. Crawford

2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar

In his bestselling book, Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford explored the ethical and practical importance of manual competence, as expressed through mastery of our physical environment. In his brilliant follow-up, The World Beyond Your Head (Farrar Straus Giroux), Crawford investigates the challenge of mastering one's own mind. We often complain about our fractured mental lives and feel beset by outside forces that destroy our focus and disrupt our peace of mind. Any defense against this, Crawford argues, requires that we reckon with the way attention sculpts the self. With implications for the way we raise our children, the design of public spaces, and democracy itself, The World Beyond Your Head is a book of urgent relevance to contemporary life.

In Egg: A Culinary Exploration of the World's Most Versatile Ingredient (Little, Brown), Ruhlman explains why the egg is the key to the craft of cooking. This event is sponsored by Edible Portland.
