Already there is a plucky danger about her. When the narrative shoots ahead seven or eight years, we find her at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, working along with the other wartime women tO measure construction parts. Soon, she becomes the first female diver t0 repair ships. The work is risky and physically punishing, but also exhilarating: "like flying, like magic—like being inside a dream," Anna thinks during her first dive. (Some 0fEgan's descriptions ofbreathing under a 200- lb. suit are just as breathtaking for the reader. ) But all is not so lovely: Anna's father has abandoned the family, her mother is solely devoted t0 Anna's severely disabled sister, and the mysterious man resurfaces in an unexpected way. Though the prose is exquisite, Egan never lets it get in the way Ofthe story. ln bouts Of glamour, adventure and violence, She gives the narrative a cinematic feel, while grounding it in Anna's realistic frustrations with society.

MUSIC Tom Petty's wisdom changed American music forever TOM PETTY, WHO PASSEDAWAY ON Oct. 2 at 66 after suffering cardiac arrest, felt like part ofthe rock firmament in a way that was different from your PauIs, your Micks, your Anguses. Both solo and with his storming b acking band the Heartbreakers, Petty specialized in a loose-limbed style ofrock that grooved as it felt utterly human. His formidable catalog, which spans the biting "Refugee" and the dreamy "Free Fallin', ” encapsulates a particularly American ideal—it's music for the open road that chews 0 Ⅱ humanity's foibles in away that doesn't short-circuit its pleasure. Hailing from Gainesville, FIa. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers re- leased their self-titled debut ⅲ 1976.

The song updates the idea 0f American f01k, incorporating rock's muscle and swagger even as petty 's lyrics keep it utterly grounded ⅲ workaday humanity. Petty's biggest successes, though, were born Of tenacity and a strong belief in his work. To his dismay, Petty said his label initially rejected his 1989 solo debut, Full M00 れ Fever. But he persevered, and the record was rele ased, producing a clutch 0f classic-rock staples—including the breezily resolute "I Won't Back Down," which perfectly encapsulates the effect his distinctive style and in- dependent spirit had on American rock. —MAURA JOHNSTON Bouquets 0 れ d candlesframe Petty's star 0 れ the 日 0 wood Ⅳ 0 慊 0fFame ⅲも OS Angeles 0 Oct. 2 PHOTOGRAPH BY AARONP—BAUER- GRIFFIN/GC IMAGES For more ofour bestphotography, visit time.com/lightbox 11

"Short ofa total ban on firearms, nothing being suggested would have st0Pljed this kind 0f shooting," says Dudley Brown, president Ofthe National Association for Gun Rights, ofthe Vegas massacre. ln one sense, history supports that argument. ln 2004 , Bill Clinton's ban on semiautomatic rifles, known as assault weapons, expired. But rather than spiking back up, the rate 0f gun homicides con- tinued to drop. From 1993 t0 2014 , that rate declined from seven firearm-related homicides per 100 , 000 Americans tO half that, according tO the Centers for Disease Control and prevention. Gun-rights ad- vocates used that as an example Of gun- control laws not working. ln truth, Clin- ton's "ban ” was so んⅡ ofloopholes no one believed it had been responsible for much ofthe decline in firearm-related deaths in the first place. But it is less logic than political fear that has thwarted the passage 0f even modest gun-control measures. AS the NRA and like-minded groups have be- come expert at harnessing a relatively small group 0f uncompromising gun- rights advocates, politicians fear being targeted in their next election. The com- bination Of money and motivation has been powerful. SO fierce was the NRA's opposition t0 Hillary Clinton lastyear that 1 in 8 ads on the air in OhiO was on guns; that ratio was 1 in 9 in North Carolina. Trump won bOth states. "The source Of the NRA's power is not simply money, says Adam Winkler, a law professor at UCLA and author of Gunfight: The Bat- tle Over the Right tO BearArms inAmenca. "The NRA's power comes from the ability tO swing voters in tight, close elections. There are a 10t Of single-issue, pro-gun voters out there that listen tO the NRNs recommendation. ” And, in the space Of gun-rights groups, the NRA is considered one Of the more moderate voices. That power opened the door t0 ex- pand gun rights on the state level. After 2004 , while advocates for limits on guns atte mpted t0 fight their way back on a federal assault-weapons bans, gun- rights groups were pushing t0 unravel restrictions elsewhere. At the state level, concealed-carry laws were loosened or abolished at a rapid clip.

Smart Auto Charged up: Batteries are the next target in China's clean-energy conquest By Justin WorIand CLEAN-ENERGY PROMOTERS HAILED TESLA'S ANNOUNCE- ment ofplans for a Nevada "gigafactory' —a reference t0 the unit for measuring energy storage—back in 2014 as the dawn of a new American industry. The $ 5 billion facility would eventually produce millions Of lithium-ion b atteries for electric vehicle s as well as energy storage on the grid. Butbehind the headlines, leading battery researchers and entrepreneurs say the gigafactory represents an exception tO the rule in the fast-growing global industry for lithium-ion batteries. NO matter what Tesla has planned, the U. S. is set t0 lag China in the battery race ifcurrent trends continue. lnstead Of manufacturing in America, entrepreneurs are increasingly 100king t0 China t0 turn cutting-edge battery research into reality. The country is expected t0 capture 65 % 0f the battery market by 2021 , with much ofwhat remains le 仕 for Europe, according t0 Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
