In honor of University Press week, Book Culture hosted a party to celebrate Columbia University Press. We asked some of the attendees for book recommendations, which yielded eclectic results.

Next up is Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Accessory to War, about the relationship between astrophysicists and the US Military.
