History, Current Affairs & Religion

Anne Curzan's modern grammar guide Says Who?, featured in our latest e-zine, is just one of 400+ books in our History, Current Affairs & Religion category. Discover nonfiction focused on the social, political and personal world we live in — covering pressing topics, past events, and examinations of beliefs, society and community.

Music & the Arts

For every title we review, we also write a "beyond the book" article that focuses on a related cultural, historical or contextual topic — a great way to find new books and learn about new subjects! Our Music & the Arts category includes past and current artistic topics such as the evolution of the song "Strange Fruit," Gentileschi's painting Judith Slaying Holofernes and street artist Shepard Fairey. Members and patrons of subscribing libraries have full access to all articles, while others have limited access.
