a volume in the series Culture, Politics, and the Cold War
Veterans recall the impact of popular

music on the American experience in
Vietnam
We Gotta Get Out of This Place

The Soundtrack of the Vietnam War
Doug Bradley and Craig Werner
For a Kentucky rifleman who spent his tour trudging

through Vietnams Central Highlands, it was Nancy
Sinatras These Boots Are Made for Walkin. For a
tunnel rat who blew smoke into the Viet Congs underground tunnels, it was Jimi Hendrixs Purple Haze. For
a black marine distraught over the assassination of Martin
Luther King Jr., it was Aretha Franklins Chain of Fools.
And for countless other Vietnam vets, it was I Feel Like
Im Fixin to Die, Wholl Stop the Rain, or the song that
gives this book its title.
In We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Doug Bradley and Craig
Werner place popular music at the heart of the American
experience in Vietnam. They explore how and why U.S.
troops turned to music as a way of connecting to each other
and the World back home and of coping with the complexities of the
war they had been sent to fight. They also demonstrate that music was
important for every group of Vietnam veteransblack and white, Latino
and Native American, men and women, officers and gruntswhose
personal reflections drive the books narrative. Many of the voices are those
of ordinary soldiers, airmen, seamen, and marines. But there are also solo
pieces by veterans whose writings have shaped our understanding of the
warKarl Marlantes, Alfredo Vea, Yusef Komunyakaa, Bill Ehrhart, Arthur
Flowersas well as songwriters and performers whose music influenced
soldiers lives, including Eric Burdon, James Brown, Bruce Springsteen,
Country Joe McDonald, and John Fogerty. Together their testimony taps
into memoriesindividual and culturalthat capture a central if often
overlooked component of the American war in Vietnam.
DOUG BRADLEY, a Vietnam veteran, teaches a course on the war with

CRAIG WERNER, professor of Afro-American studies at the University
of WisconsinMadison and author of Higher Ground: Stevie Wonder, Aretha
Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, and the Rise and Fall of American Soul.
We Gotta Get Out of

This Place is chock full of
materials that present
multi-voiced memories of
how popular music related
to the experiences of
American GIs in and after
the Vietnam War. The
book will appeal to
veterans, and in many
ways is written by, for,
and to them. But students
and fans of popular music
history, the history of the
1960s, and the history of
war will also find it an
engaging and worthwhile
read.

I couldnt put the book

down, and when I did,
couldnt wait to get back
to it. Its a heartbreaking
tale for all concerned,
and it reads like a Greek
tragedy, for Meyers has
turned the pain of it all
into a honeycomb for us
to enjoy with a guilty,
cathartic kind of
schadenfreude.

SHAPED one of Americas greatest poets
Robert Lowell in Love

Jeffrey Meyers
Robert Lowell was known not only as a great poet but also as a writer
whose devotion to his art came at a tremendous personal cost. In this
work, his third on Robert Lowell, Jeffrey Meyers examines the poets
impassioned, fraught relationships with the key women in his life, including his mother, Charlotte Winslow Lowell; his three wivesJean Stafford,
Elizabeth Hardwick, and Caroline Blackwood; nine of his many lovers; his
close women friendsMary McCarthy, Elizabeth Bishop, and Adrienne
Rich; and his most talented students, Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath.
Lowells charismatic personality and compelling poetry attracted lovers
and friends who were both frightened and excited by his aura of brilliance
and danger. He loved the idea of falling in love, and in his recurring manic
episodes he needed women at the center of his emotional and artistic life.
While he idealized his loves and encouraged their talents, he never fully
grasped his wives and lovers deepest needs and feelings, and his frenetic
affairs and tortured marriages were always conducted entirely on his own
terms. Robert Lowell in Love tells the story of the poet in the grip of love
and gives voice to the women who loved him, inspired his poetry, and
suffered along with him.
An eminent biographer and literary scholar,
JEFFREY MEYERS is the author of fifty-three books.
He lives in Berkeley, California.

Writers recall those who showed

them the way
A Manner of Being
Writers on Their Mentors

Edited by Annie Liontas and Jeff Parker
What do the punk singer Henry Rollins, the Guatemalan
writer Rodrigo Rey Rosa, the American authors Tobias
Wolff, Tayari Jones, and George Saunders, the Canadian
writer Sheila Heti, and the Russian poet Polina Barskova
have in common? At some point, they all studied the art
of writing deeply with someone.
The nearly seventy short essays in A Manner of Being,
by some of the best contemporary writers from around
the world, pay homage to mentorsthe writers, teachers,
nannies, and sageswho enlighten, push, encourage, and
sometimes hurt, fail, and limit their protgs. There are
mentors encountered in the schoolhouse and on farms, in
NYC and in MFA programs; mentors who show up exactly
when needed, offering comfort, a steadying hand, a commiseration, a dose of tough love. This collection is rich with anecdotes
from the heartfelt to the salacious, gems of writing advice, and guidance
for how to live the writing life in a world that all too often doesnt care
whether you write or not.
Each contribution is intimate and distinctyet a common theme is that
mentors model a manner of being.

A collection of snapshots
from the past few decades
documenting how a variety
of writers have found or
been given guidance from
other writers, both in and
out of writing programs.
Many different approaches
are represented here, from
line editors to more mystic
sages, from teachers
turned life coaches to
teachers who did most
of their work in the
classroom or campus
office. In gathering these
tributes to mentors, this
volume gives us some
idea not so much of what
students look for in a
teacher, but of what they
remember, and why its
important to them.

The story of a translation dictionary and

its influential role in global history
The Translations of Nebrija
Language, Culture, and Circulation in the Early Modern World

Byron Ellsworth Hamann
In 1495, the Spanish humanist Antonio de Nebrija published a Spanishto-Latin dictionary that became a best seller. Over the next century it was
revised dozens of times, in nine European cities. As these dictionaries
made their way around the globe in this age of encounters, their lists of
Spanish words became frameworks for dictionaries of non-Latin languages. What began as Spanish to Latin became Spanish to Arabic, French,
English, Tuscan, Nahuatl, Mayan, Quechua, Aymara, Tagalog, and more.
Tracing the global influence of Nebrijas dictionary, Byron Ellsworth
Hamann, in this interdisciplinary, deeply researched book, connects
pagan Rome, Muslim Spain, Aztec Tenochtitlan, Elizabethan England,
the Spanish Philippines, and beyond, revealing new connections in world
history. The Translations of Nebrija re-creates the travels of people, books,
and ideas throughout the early modern world and reveals the adaptability of Nebrijas text, tracing the ways heirs and pirate printers altered the
dictionary in the decades after its first publication. It reveals how entries
in various editions were expanded to accommodate new concepts, such
as for indigenous languages in the Americasa process with profound
implications for understanding pre-Hispanic art, architecture, and writing.
It shows how words written in the margins of surviving
dictionaries from the Americas shed light on the writing
and researching of dictionaries across the early modern
world.
Exploring words and the dictionaries that made sense
of them, this book charts new global connections and
challenges many assumptions about the early modern
world.

Explores the cultural meaning of

Work Sights
The Visual Culture of Industry in

Nineteenth-Century America
Vanessa Meikle Schulman
In this extensively illustrated work, Vanessa Meikle
Schulman reveals how visual representations of labor,
technology, and industry were crucial in shaping the way
nineteenth-century Americans understood their nation
and its place in the world. Her focus is the period between
1857 and 1887, an era marked by the rapid expansion
of rail and telegraph networks, the rise of powerful,
centralized corporations, and the creation of specialized
facilities for the mechanized production and distribution
of products. Through the examination of popular as well
as fine artnews illustrations and paintings of American
machines, workers, factories, and technical innovations
she illuminates an evolving tension between the perception of technology and industry as rational, logical, and systemic on
the one hand and as essentially unknowable, strange, or irrational on
the other.
Ranging across the fields of art history, visual studies, the history of
technology, and American studies, Work Sights captures both the richness
of nineteenth-century American visual culture and the extent to which
Americans had begun to perceive their country as a modern nation
connected by a web of interlocking technological systems.

Illinois State University.

This is a book that will

rooted sense of history,
Vanessa Meikle Schulman
has produced a work that
is in line with the best
contemporary scholarship
in American nineteenthcentury art history.

A revised and expanded edition of a landmark

anthology of Africana thought
I Am Because We Are
Readings in Africana Philosophy

Revised Edition
Edited by Fred Lee Hord (Mzee
and Jonathan Scott Lee
Lasana Okpara)
First published in 1995, I Am Because We Are has been recognized as a

major, canon-defining anthology and adopted as a text in a wide variety
of college and university courses. Bringing together writings by prominent
black thinkers from Africa, the Caribbean, and North America, Fred Lee
Hord and Jonathan Scott Lee made the case for a tradition of relational
humanism distinct from the philosophical preoccupations of the West.
Over the past twenty years, however, new scholarly research has
uncovered other contributions to the discipline now generally known as
Africana philosophy that were not included in the original volume. In
this revised and expanded edition, Hord and Lee build on the strengths of
the earlier anthology while enriching the selection of readings to bring the
text into the twenty-first century. In a new introduction, the editors reflect
on the key arguments of the books central thesis, refining them in light of
more recent philosophical discourse. This edition includes important new
readings by Kwame Gyekye, Oyrnk Oye wm, Paget Henry, Sylvia
Wynter, Toni Morrison, Charles Mills, and Tommy Curry,
as well as extensive suggestions for further reading.
FRED LEE HORD (MZEE LASANA OKPARA) is

Praise for the first edition:
An ambitious book [that] strives to be intellectually and
philosophically Pan-Africanist. In an era where more than
a hyphen has continually separated Africans and AfricanAmericans and others of African descent, the call to relational
humanism and community ethos is a timely one.

Susan Muaddi Darraj
When Rabab lowered the magad and clapped-clapped to the
well in her mothers too-big slippers, the stone jar digging into
her shoulder, she didnt, at first, see the body. The morning sun
glazed everything around herthe cement homes, the iron rails
along one wall, the bars on the windows, the stones around the
welland made her squint her itchy eyes.
She was hungry. That was all.
Theyd arrived here only last night, stopping as soon as
Awwad and the men were sure the army had moved south. It
must have been the third time in just a few weekscollapse the
tents, load the mules, disappear into the sands. She hoped this
war would end soon, and she didnt really care who won, as long
as it ended because they hadnt eaten well in two years. In the
past few months, her mother had sold all her gold, except for
her bracelet made of liras. It was the only thing left, and she was
holding onto it, and Rabab realized, so were they all; she imagined that, the day it was sold, when her mothers wrist was bare,
would signal that they were at the end.
Susan Muaddi Darrajs short story collection crosses generations and

continents to explore ideas of memory, belonging, connection, and,
ultimately, the deepest and richest meaning of home.
SUSAN MUADDI DARRAJs stories, essays, and reviews have

appeared in New York Stories, Orchid Literary Review, Banipal, Mizna,
al-Jadid, and several anthologies. Her previous short story collection,
The Inheritance of Exile, was honored by the U.S. State Departments
Arabic Book Program. She is a recipient of an Individual Artist Award
from the Maryland State Arts Council. A Philadelphia native, she
currently lives in Baltimore.
These linked stories about

the people of the village of
Tel al-Hilou, and their
descendants in todays
United States of America,
span over a century. The
authors empathy for the
large cast of embattled
characters is miraculous.
In particular, we get to
know the quietly heroic
Palestinian women in these
stories as intimately as we
know the people closest
to us. Astonishingly, this
collection is, above all,
about the transformative
powers of love.

Not a Catholic Nation
The Ku Klux Klan Confronts New England in the 1920s

Mark Paul Richard
During the 1920s the Ku Klux Klan experienced a remarkable resurgence,
drawing millions of American men and women into its ranks. In Not a
Catholic Nation, Mark Paul Richard examines the KKKs largely ignored
growth in the six states of New EnglandConnecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermontand details the reactions of the regions Catholic population, the Klans primary targets.
Drawing on a wide range of previously untapped sourcesFrenchlanguage newspapers in the New EnglandCanadian borderlands; KKK
documents scattered in local, university, and Catholic repositories; and
previously undiscovered copies of the Maine KlansmenRichard demonstrates that the Klan was far more active in the Northeast than previously
thought. He also challenges the increasingly prevalent view that the Ku
Klux Klan became a mass movement during this period largely because
it functioned as a social, fraternal, or civic organization for many Protestants. While Richard concedes that some Protestants in New England
may have joined the KKK for those reasons, he shows that the politics of
ethnicity and labor played a more significant role in the Klans growth in
the region.
The most comprehensive analysis of the Ku Klux
Klans antagonism toward Catholics in the 1920s, this
book is also distinctive in its consideration of the history
of the CanadaU.S. borderlands, particularly the role
of Canadian immigrants as both proponents and victims
of the Klan movement in the United States.

The untold history of public library

segregation
Not Free, Not for All
Public Libraries in the Age of Jim Crow

Cheryl Knott
Americans tend to imagine their public libraries as timehonored advocates of equitable access to information for
all. Through much of the twentieth century, however,
many black Americans were denied access to public libraries or allowed admittance only to separate and smaller
buildings and collections. While scholars have examined
and continue to uncover the history of school segregation,
there has been much less research published on the segregation of public libraries in the Jim Crow South. In fact,
much of the writing on public library history has failed to
note these racial exclusions.
In Not Free, Not for All, Cheryl Knott traces the establishment, growth, and eventual demise of separate public
libraries for African Americans in the South, disrupting
the popular image of the American public library as historically
welcoming readers from all walks of life. Using institutional records,
contemporaneous newspaper and magazine articles, and other primary
sources together with scholarly work in the fields of print culture and civil
rights history, Knott reconstructs a complex story involving both animosity and cooperation among whites and blacks who valued what libraries
had to offer. African American library advocates, staff, and users emerge
as the creators of their own separate collections and services with both
symbolic and material importance, even as they worked toward dismantling those very institutions during the era of desegregation.
CHERYL KNOTT is associate professor in the School of Information at

the University of Arizona, Tucson.
This is a crucial revision

in the way we have
thought of the history of
public libraries in the U.S.
This book will influence
scholars in a variety of
fields as it offers valuable
insights on a range of
questions about African
Americans and their
relationship to print
culture, and about the
ways that we think about
the history of segregation
and the pursuit of civil
rights in this country.

In his sophisticated focus

and defining a fan base,
Hill breaks new ground in
the scholarship of country
musicand popular music
studies more generally.
This is one of those books

a myriad of places, in a

How the country music industry keeps

Country Comes to Town
The Music Industry and the Transformation of Nashville

Jeremy Hill
Country music evokes a simple, agrarian past, with images of open land
and pickup trucks. While some might think of the genre as a repository
of nostalgia, popular because it preserves and reveres traditional values,
Jeremy Hill argues that country music has found such expansive success
because its songs and its people have forcefully addressed social and cultural
issues as well as geographic change. Hill demonstrates how the genre and
its fans developed a flexible idea of country, beyond their rural roots, and
how this flexibility allowed fans and music to come to town, to move into
and within urban spaces, while retaining a country character.
To understand how the genre has become the far-reaching commercial
phenomenon that it is today, Hill explores how various players within the
country music fold have grappled with the notion of place. He shows both
how the industry has transformed the city of Nashville and how country musicthrough song lyrics, imagery associated with the music, and
brandinghas reshaped ideas about the American landscape and character. As the genre underwent significant change in the last decades of the
twentieth century, those who sought to explain its new styles and new
locations relied on a traditional theme: You can take
the boy out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the boy. Hill demonstrates how this idea
that you can still be country while no longer living in
a rural placehas been used to expand countrys commercial appeal and establish a permanent home in the
urban space of Nashville.
JEREMY HILL, who earned a PhD in American studies

from George Washington University, is an independent
scholar who lives in Chicago.
In a clear writing style, Hill links countrys construction of

an ordinary folks American identity to the racial politics and
urban policy of the late twentieth century in a compelling way.

How nineteenth-century magazines

schooled children in consumerism
Commercializing Childhood
Childrens Magazines, Urban Gentility, and the

Ideal of the Child Consumer in the United States,
18231918
Paul B. Ringel
Long before activists raised concerns about the dangers
of commercials airing during Saturday morning cartoons,
Americas young people emerged as a group that businesses should target with goods for sale. As print culture
grew rapidly in the nineteenth century, enterprising publishers raced to meet the widespread demand for magazines aimed at middle- and upper-class children, especially
those whose families had leisure time and cultural aspirations to gentility. Advertisers realized that these children
represented a growing market for more than magazines,
and the editors chose stories to help model good consumer
behavior for this important new demographic.
In this deeply researched and engaging book, Paul B.
Ringel combines an analysis of the stories in nineteenth-century American
childrens magazines with the backstories of their authors, editors, and
publishers to explain how this hugely successful industry trained generations of American children to become genteel consumers. Ringel demonstrates how these publications, which were read in hundreds of thousands
of homes, played to two conflicting impulses within American families: to
shield children from commercial influences by offering earnest and moral
entertainment and to help children learn how to prosper in an increasingly market-driven society.
PAUL B. RINGEL is associate professor of history at High Point University.
This book is thoroughly researched, demonstrates an excellent understanding of

magazine literature and culture, and provides biographical background and social
history as contexts for the literature under examination.
Carol J. Singley, author of Adopting America:
Childhood, Kinship, and Narrative Identity in Literature
Ringels nuanced
interpretations are alive
to the contradictions
inherent to the precarious
cultural balancing acts of
juvenile publishing, and
this book presents these
findings in a clear and
engaging style. This is the
sort of solid scholarship
that truly adds to our
knowledge, and I predict
that this book will last as a
standard resource for many
years.

Scholars no longer see Jonathan Edwards as the fire-and-brimstone
preacher who deemed his parishioners sinners in the hands of an angry
god. Edwards now figures as caring and socially conscious and exerts
increased influence as a philosopher of the American school of Protestantism. In this study, he becomes the progenitor of an alternative tradition in
American letters.
In Knowing, Seeing, Being, Jennifer Leader argues that Edwards, the
nineteenth-century poet Emily Dickinson, and the twentieth-century poet
Marianne Moore share a heretofore underrecognized set of religious and
philosophical preoccupations. She contends that they represent an alternative tradition within American literature, one that differs from Transcendentalism and is grounded in Reformed Protestantism and its ways
of reading and interpreting the King James Bible and the natural world.
According to Leader, these three writers most significant commonality
is the Protestant tradition of typology, a rigorous mode of interpreting
scripture and nature through which certain figures or phenomena are
read as the fulfillment of prophecy and of Gods work.
Following from their similar ways of reading, they also
share philosophical and spiritual questions about language, epistemology (knowing), perception (seeing),
and physical and spiritual ontology (being). In connecting Edwards to these two poets, in exploring each
writers typological imagination, and through a series
of insightful readings, this innovative book reevaluates
three major figures in American intellectual and literary
history and compels a reconsideration of these writers
and their legacies.

How photographs worked

to end child labor
Picturing Class
Lewis W. Hine Photographs Child Labor

in New England
Robert Macieski
In this richly illustrated book, Robert Macieski examines
Lewis W. Hines art and advocacy on behalf of child laborers as part of the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC)
between 1909 and 1917. A social photographeras he
called himselfHine created images that documented
children at work throughout New England, making the
case for their exploitation in the North as he had for rural
working children in the South. Hine staged his images,
highlighting particular types of labor in specific places:
the newsies in Connecticut cities; sardine canners in
Eastport, Maine; cranberry pickers in Cape Cod bogs;
industrial homeworkers in Boston and Providence; and
cotton textile workers throughout the region. His association with the NCLC connected him to a network of local
and national reformers, social workers, and child welfare professionals,
a broad coalition he supported in their fight to end this unethical labor
practice. Macieski also chronicles Hines efforts to mount major exhibitions that would help move public opinion against child labor.
In Picturing Class, Macieski explores the historical context of Hines
photographs and the social worlds of his subjects. He offers a detailed
analysis of many of the images, unearthing the stories behind the creation of these photographs and the lives of their subjects. In telling the
story of these photographs, their creation, and their reception, Macieski
demonstrates how Hine worked to advance an unvarnished picture of
a rapidly changing region and the young workers at the center of this
important shift.
ROBERT MACIESKI is associate professor of history at the University of

New Hampshire at Manchester.

A valuable,

editor of Last Rights:
Revisiting Four Theories

Makes the case for narrative literary journalism

Literary Journalism and the Aesthetics

of Experience
John C. Hartsock
Proponents and practitioners of narrative literary journalism have sought

to assert its distinctiveness as both a literary form and a type of journalism. In Literary Journalism and the Aesthetics of Experience, John C. Hartsock
argues that this often neglected kind of journalismexemplified by such
renowned works as John Herseys Hiroshima, James Agees Let Us Now
Praise Famous Men, and Joan Didions Slouching Towards Bethlehemhas
emerged as an important genre of its own, not just a hybrid of the techniques of fiction and the conventions of traditional journalism.
Hartsock situates narrative literary journalism within the broader histories of the American tradition of objective journalism and the standard
novel. While all embrace the value of narrative, or storytelling, literary
journalism offers a particular aesthetics of experience lacking in both
the others. Not only does literary journalism disrupt the myths sustained
by conventional journalism and the novel, but its rich details and attention to everyday life question readers cultural assumptions. Drawing on
the critical theories of Nietzsche, Bakhtin, Benjamin, and others, Hartsock
argues that the aesthetics of experience challenge the shibboleths that
often obscure the realities the other two forms seek
to convey.
At a time when print media appear in decline,
Hartsock offers a thoughtful response to those who
ask, What place if any is there for a narrative literary
journalism in a rapidly changing media world?
JOHN C. HARTSOCK is professor of communication

studies at SUNY Cortland. He is author of A History of
American Literary Journalism: The Emergence of a Modern
Narrative Form (University of Massachusetts Press,
2001), which won the History Award of the Association
for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication

the amherst series in Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought
Explores the relationship between law

and error in American jurisprudence
Laws Mistakes
Edited by Austin Sarat, Lawrence

Douglas, and Martha Umphrey
From false convictions to botched executions, from erroneous admission of evidence in a criminal trial to misunderstandings that arise in the process of creating contracts,
law is awash in mistakes. These mistakes can be unintentional deviations from expected practices or the result of
intentional actions that produce unintended negative
consequences. They may become part of a process of
response and correction or be accepted as an inevitable
cost of action. Some mistakes are external to law itself,
such as errors in an agreement made by two private parties. Others are made by legal actors in the course of their
work; for example, a police officers failing to obtain a
search warrant when one was required.
The essays in Laws Mistakes explore the things that law
recognizes as errors and the way it responds to them. They identify the
jurisprudential and political perspectives that underlie different understandings of what is or is not a legal mistake, and examine the fraught,
contested, and evolving relationship between law and error. And they
offer templates for thinking about what mistakes can tell us about the
aspirations and limits of law, and for understanding how our imagining
of law is enabled and shaped by its juxtaposition to a condition labeled
mistake.
In addition to the volume editors, contributors include Paul Schiff
Berman, Sonali Chakravarti, Jody L. Medeira, Stewart Motha, Kunal
Parker, and Jordan Steiker.

The very question of

what constitutes a legal
error, as opposed to poor
judgment or unjust law,
lies at the crux of Laws
Mistakes, which brings
together an impressive
range of scholarly
perspectives. Rather than
consigning errors to the
realm of rare exceptions,
the contributors to this
volume insist that
mistakes need to be
engaged as part of the
very fabric of law.

This book represents

a detailed and updated
scholarly synthesis of
the marine algae of the
northwestern arc of the
North Atlantic, from as far
south as the Chesapeake
Bay to northern parts of
Canada. The publication
of this comprehensive flora
will be of immense value
not only to academics
but to workers in marine
conservation and related
fields, in tracking possible
invasions of seaweeds, and
in determining if ranges of
some species are changing
over recent decades,
possibly due to global
warming. Mathieson and
Dawes have done a
masterful job.

Seaweeds of the Northwest Atlantic
Arthur C. Mathieson and Clinton J. Dawes

In this book, Arthur C. Mathieson and Clinton J. Dawes offer a complete
and current treatment of the seaweeds of the Northwest Atlantic, including taxonomic descriptions, keys, and 108 plates of detailed line drawings
of this rich assemblage of marine algal species found between the Canadian Arctic and Maryland. It is designed to serve as an up-to-date reference work, classroom text, and field manual for botanists, marine biologists, naturalists, and students learning about the highly diverse marine
algal flora of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.
The introductory chapter provides a historical review of seaweed studies as well as a description of 15 geographical sites designated in the text.
Three chapters on the green, brown, and red alga include more than 256
genera, 510 species, 10 subspecies, 21 varieties, and 14 forms. New taxonomic combinations and descriptions of several previously undescribed
taxa are also included in the text. The modern classification reviews
molecular as well as reproductive, morphological, and biological data. The
work represents more than forty years of research on Northwest Atlantic
seaweeds and will aid researchers throughout the Northeast and Southwest Atlantic coasts. The authors detail the taxonomy,
morphology, cytology, and name derivation of various
taxonomic entities, as well as the ecology and distribution patterns of over 555 taxa. The text includes keys
to genera and species, a glossary, and sources of further
information.

A new edition of the biography of the

landscape DESIGNER
Apostle of Taste
Andrew Jackson Downing, 18151852

NEW Edition
David Schuyler
Through his many books and in the pages of the Horticulturist, the nations first journal about landscape gardening,
Andrew Jackson Downing (18151852) preached a gospel
of taste, promoting a naturalistic style of landscape design
as the modern alternative to the classical geometry of the
ancient gardens of Italy and France. Together with his
longtime collaborator, Alexander Jackson Davis, Downing
also contributed to an architectural revolution that sought
to replace the classical revival with the Gothic revival and
other romantic styles. Downing celebrated this progression
not simply as a change in stylistic preference but a reflection of the nations evolution to a more advanced state of
civilization.
In this compelling biography, issued in a new edition with a new preface,
David Schuyler explores the origins of the tastemakers ideas in English aesthetic theory and his efforts to adapt English principles to American climate
and republican social institutions. Tracing the impulse toward a native architectural style, Schuyler also demonstrates the influence of Downings ideas
on the periods gardens and, more broadly still, analyzes the complications of
class implicit in Downings prescriptions for American society. The new edition is illustrated with more than 100 drawings, plans, and photographs.
DAVID SCHUYLER is Arthur & Katherine Shadek Professor of American

Studies at Franklin and Marshall College. He is author of Sanctified
Landscape: Writers, Artists, and the Hudson River Valley, 18201909; The New
Urban Landscape: The Redefinition of City Form in Nineteenth-Century America;
and A City Transformed: Redevelopment, Race, and Suburbanization in Lancaster,
