Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime by Sean Carroll (Dutton Books; on sale September 10, 2019): “We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe.” Ok I’m sold. I adore parallel universes in movies, books, tv shows and especially in real life. What chapter describes how we can break on through to the other side?! #NewBookAlert for February 24, 2020.

A Long Time Ago in a Cutting Room Far, Far Away: My Fifty Years Editing Hollywood Hits? Star Wars, Carrie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Mission: Impossible, and More by Paul Hirsch (Chicago Review Press; Movies on sale November 5, 2019): Our movie media is often backwards: focusing on the actor, sometimes the director and occasionally the writer or the producer. It takes a village to make a movie and a good editor is imperative. The general public just doesn’t grasp the value of how movies are found and sometimes saved in the editing room. #NewBookAlert for February 27, 2020.

'A Long Time Ago in a Cutting Room Far, Far Away' provides a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most influential films of the last fifty years as seen through the eyes of Paul Hirsch, the Oscar-winning film editor. Preorder your copy today! https://t.co/2zkMpm0rRy pic.twitter.com/U4nkBTuKMo

Pop Culture and the Dark Side of the American Dream: Con Men, Gangsters, Drug Lords, and Zombies by Paul A. Cantor (University Press of Kentucky; Pop Culture on sale April 22, 2019): “The many con men, gangsters, and drug lords portrayed in popular culture are examples of the dark side of the American dream.” Dark Side or the right side? There’s no benefits to following the rules. #NewBookAlert for February 28, 2020.

Paul Cantor's new book on TV and film, Pop Culture and the Dark Side of the American Dream, the reader finds a fascinating new look at the many ways the "American dream" has offered both hope and frustration for many.https://t.co/mVzcBRylIY
