The Efficient, Inventive (Often Annoying) Melvil Dewey
by Alexis O'NeillMelvil Dewey's love of organization and words drove him to develop and implement his Dewey Decimal system, leaving a significant and lasting impact in libraries across the country.When Melvil Dewey realized every library organized their books differently, he wondered if he could invent a system all libraries could use to organize them efficiently. A rat-a-tat speaker, Melvil was a persistent (and noisy) advocate for free public libraries. And while he made enemies along the way as he pushed for changes--like his battle to establish the first library school with women as students, through it all he was EFFICIENT, INVENTIVE, and often ANNOYING as he made big changes in the world of public libraries--changes still found in the libraries of today!From TI 9781684371983 HC.

The Egyptians: A Radical History of Egypt's Unfinished Revolution
by Jack ShenkerThe award-winning journalist and longtime Cairo resident delivers a &“meticulous, passionate study&” of the ongoing battle for contemporary Egypt (The Guardian). On January, 25, 2011, a revolution began in Egypt that succeeded in ousting the country&’s longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak. In The Egyptians, journalist Jack Shenker uncovers the roots of the uprising and explores the country&’s current state, divided between two irreconcilable political orders. Challenging conventional analyses that depict a battle between Islamists and secular forces, The Egyptians illuminates other, equally important fault lines: far-flung communities waging war against transnational corporations, men and women fighting to subvert long-established gender norms, and workers dramatically seizing control of their own factories. Putting the Egyptian revolution in its proper context as an ongoing popular struggle against state authority and economic exclusion, The Egyptians explains why the events since 2011 have proved so threatening to elites both inside Egypt and abroad. As Egypt&’s rulers seek to eliminate all forms of dissent, seeded within the rebellious politics of Egypt&’s young generation are big ideas about democracy, sovereignty, social justice, and resistance that could yet change the world. &“I started reading this and couldn&’t stop. It&’s a remarkable piece of work, and very revealing. A stirring rendition of a people&’s revolution as the popular forces that Shenker vividly depicts carry forward their many and varied struggles, with radical potential that extends far beyond Egypt.&” —Noam Chomsky
