(Outwitting History)
Alvin and Larry Ubell, the self-appointed "Gurus of How-To," discuss the nuts and bolts of home repair. Next, Courtney Angela Brkic describes recovering remains for a UN-contracted forensic team in Bosnia, and recovering her own family history along the way. Then, Aaron Lansky describes his successful quest to collect and preserve millions of volumes of Yiddish history and literature. His new book is titled Outwitting History. Finally, Rebecca Busselle takes an in-depth look at the formative years Paul Strand spent photographing the Southwest.
