Rembrandt’s Eyes (1999) by British historian Simon Schama is a monumental 750-page cultural history and biography of Dutch Master Rembrandt van Rijn. Set during the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age, Schama recreates the sensory atmosphere, political tensions, ongoing wars with Spain, and strict Calvinism that shaped Rembrandt’s world. Contrasting Rembrandt with his early obsession and rival Peter Paul Rubens, Schama explores how changing patron demands and a revolutionary, tactile painting style defined Rembrandt's work. With few surviving facts about the Leiden miller’s son, Schama demonstrates that his true biography lives within his art. The narrative details his meteoric rise, his deep devotion to his wife Saskia, his bond with Hendrickje Stoffels, and his eventual financial ruin—a downfall so complete he was forced to sell Saskia’s grave.

An Introduction to Music by Martin Bernstein is designed as a foundational study in music appreciation, presenting information to foster intelligent listening to works performed in concert halls, opera houses, and via modern transmission media. Explicitly noted as neither a history of music nor a technical manual, the text concentrates on representative compositions from Johann Sebastian Bach through to early twentieth-century trends, intended to be studied alongside actual hearing. Bernstein covers tone, instruments, rhythm, melody, polyphony, harmony, and musical form before exploring major composers, Italian opera, and nationalistic movements. The volume includes thematic musical notation examples, lists of suggested readings for expanded study, and detailed indexes.

Richard Feynman (1918–1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female torero—and much else of an eyebrow-raising nature. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unrelenting curiosity, and raging chutzpah.
