OK: THE IMPROBABLE STORY OF AMERICA’S GREATEST WORD
Author：Allan Metcalf
Publisher：Oxford University Press
Call Number：427.000／M1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Allan Metcalf, a renowned popular writer on language, here traces the evolution of America’s most popular word, writing with brevity and wit, and ranging across American history with colorful portraits of the nooks and crannies in which OK survived and prospered.
He describes how OK was born as a lame joke in a newspaper article in 1839 used as a supposedly humorous abbreviation for “oll korrect” (ie, “all correct”) but should have died a quick death. Over the next century and a half, it established a firm toehold in the American lexicon, and eventually became embedded in pop culture, from the “I’m OK, You’re OK” of 1960’s transactional analysis, to Ned Flanders’ absurd “Okeley Dokeley!” Indeed, OK became emblematic of a uniquely American attitude, and is one of our most successful global exports.

THE THIN GREEN LINE: THE MONEY SECRETS OF THE SUPER WEALTHY
Author：Paul Sullivan
Publisher：Simon & Schuster
Call Number：332.024／S1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
For the better part of the past decade, Paul Sullivan has written about and lived among some of the wealthiest people in America. He has learned how they save, spend, and invest their money; how they work and rest; how they use their wealth to give their children educational advantages, but not strip them of motivation.
He has also seen how they make horrendous mistakes. Firsthand, Sullivan knows why some people, even “rich” people, never find true wealth, and why other people, even those who have far less, are far better off financially.
This unique guide is a welcome antidote to the idea that wealth is a number on a bank statement.

Star of the North opens in 1988, when a Korean American teenager is kidnapped from a South Korean beach by North Korean operatives.

A UNIVERSE FROM NOTHING: WHY THERE IS SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING
Author：Lawrence M. Krauss
Publisher：Simon & Schuster
Call Number：523.100／K1
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Internationally renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss offers provocative, revelatory answers to the biggest philosophical questions: Where did our universe come from? Why does anything exist? And how is it all going to end? ‘Why is there something rather than nothing?’ is the question atheists and scientists are always asked, and until now there has not been a satisfying scientific answer.
Today, exciting scientific advances provide new insight into this cosmological mystery: not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing. A mind-bending trip back to the beginning of the beginning, A Universe from Nothing authoritatively presents the most recent evidence that explains how our universe evolved and the implications for how it’s going to end. It will provoke, challenge, and delight readers to look at the most basic underpinnings of existence in a whole new way. In the words of Richard Dawkins: this could potentially be the most important scientific book since Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.

KIDS OF APPETITE
Author：David Arnold
Publisher：Speak
Call Number：813.600／A6
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
In Hackensack, New Jersey, a teen grieving the death of his father flees home, urn containing his dad’s ashes in hand, and stumbles upon the best friends of his life.
Sixteen-year-old Vic Bennuci’s late father left him with an appreciation for asymmetry, which both informs his love of abstract art and helps him cope with the often cruel ways the world reacts to his face: the white boy has Moebius syndrome and can’t smile or blink.
Readers are introduced to him and this gripping novel’s other narrator quiet, tough, blonde, white Mad, a lover of S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, whose home life is a nightmare of abuse as they’re being separately interviewed by the police about their friend Baz, who is accused of murder. Baz and his brother, Nzuzi, are Congolese refugees who lived in foster care in the United States following the deaths of the rest of their family, and they, along with foulmouthed white, 11-year-old Coco, round out this intelligent and funny group.
Vic and Mad are beautifully realized characters. The others are not as fully developed but are deeply sympathetic nonetheless. Their coalescence into an informal found family is both natural and believable. This tale of kids dealing with horrific situations is at times almost fantastical in its romanticism and is realized through the employ of spot-on pacing and lovely wordsmithing.
