Karl Marx
Greatness and Illusion

Gareth Stedman Jones
A deeply original and illuminating account of Marxs journey through the intellectual history
of the nineteenth century. Stedman Jones explores the friendships, affinities, rivalries and
hatreds that shaped Marxs life with elegance and analytical brilliance.
Christopher Clark, author of THE SLEEPWALKERS
As much a portrait of his time as a biography of the man, Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion
returns the author of Das Kapital to his nineteenth-century world, before twentieth-century
inventions transformed him into Communisms patriarch and fierce lawgiver. Gareth
Stedman Jones depicts an era dominated by extraordinary challenges and new notions
about God, human capacities, empires, and political systemsand, above all, the shape
of the future.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, a Europe-wide argument began about the
industrial transformation of England, the Revolution in France, and the hopes and fears
generated by these occurrences. Would the coming age belong to those enthralled by
the revolutionary events and ideas that had brought this world into being, or would its
inheritors be those who feared and loathed it? Stedman Jones gives weight not only to
Marxs views but to the views of those with whom he contended. He shows that Marx was
as buffeted as anyone else living through a period that both confirmed and confounded his
interpretationsand that ultimately left him with terrible intimations of failure.
Karl Marx allows the reader to understand Marxs milieu and development, and makes
sense of the devastating impact of new ways of seeing the world conjured up by Kant,
Hegel, Feuerbach, Ricardo, Saint-Simon, and others. We come to understand how Marx
transformed and adapted their philosophies into ideas that would havethrough twists
and turns inconceivable to himan overwhelming impact across the globe in the twentieth
century.
Gareth Stedman Jones is Professor of the History of Ideas at Queen Mary University
of London and Director of the Centre for History and Economics at the University of
Cambridge.

The Poem Is You
Sixty Contemporary American Poems and How to Read Them

Stephen Burt
A splendid book. Burt lavishes the poems with extraordinarily nimble, alert, luminous
attention. Its hard to think of a better introduction to contemporary American poetry.
Jahan Ramazani, author of POETRY AND ITS OTHERS: NEWS, PRAYER, SONG,
AND THE DIALOGUE OF GENRES
Contemporary American poetry has plenty to offer new readers, and plenty more for those
who already follow it. Yet its difficultyand sheer varietyleaves many readers puzzled or
overwhelmed. The critic, scholar, and poet Stephen Burt sets out to help. Beginning in the
early 1980s, where critical consensus ends, Burt canvasses American poetry of the past
four decades, from the headline-making urgency of Claudia Rankines Citizen to the stark
pathos of Louise Glck, the limitless energy of J. F. Herrera, and the erotic provocations of
D. A. Powell.
The Poem Is You: Sixty Contemporary American Poems and How to Read Them is a guide
to the diverse magnificences of American poetry today. It presents a wide range of poems
selected by Burt for this volume, each accompanied by an original essay explaining how
a given poem works, why it matters, and how the
poem speaks to other parts of art and culture.

Freud
In His Time and Ours

lisabeth Roudinesco
TRANSLATED BY Catherine Porter
Winner of the 2014 Prix Dcembre
Do we think we know all there is to know about Freud? Not even close. lisabeth
Roudinescos book is full of fresh facts about Freuds life and potent interpretation of his
work. A sparkling and highly original intellectual biography.
Mark Edmundson, author of THE DEATH OF SIGMUND FREUD
lisabeth Roudinesco offers a bold and modern reinterpretation of the iconic founder of
psychoanalysis. Based on new archival sources, this is Freuds biography for the twentyfirst centurya critical appraisal, at once sympathetic and impartial, of a genius greatly
admired and yet greatly misunderstood in his own time and in ours.
Roudinesco traces Freuds life from his upbringing as the eldest of eight siblings in a
prosperous Jewish-Austrian household to his final days in London, a refugee of the Nazis
annexation of his homeland. She recreates the milieu of fin de sicle Vienna in the waning
days of the Habsburg Empirean era of extraordinary artistic innovation, given luster by
such luminaries as Gustav Klimt, Stefan Zweig, and Gustav Mahler. In the midst of it all, at
the modest residence of Berggasse 19, Freud pursued his clinical investigation of nervous
disorders, blazing a path into the unplumbed recesses of human consciousness and desire.
Yet this revolutionary who was overthrowing cherished notions of human rationality and
sexuality was, in his politics and personal habits, in many ways conservative, Roudinesco
shows. In his chauvinistic attitudes toward women, and in his stubborn refusal to
acknowledge the growing threat of Hitler until it was nearly too late, even the analytically
minded Freud had his blind spots. Alert to his intellectual complexitythe numerous
tensions in his character and thought that remained unresolvedRoudinesco ultimately
views Freud less as a scientific thinker than as the master interpreter of civilization and
culture.

Park Chung Hee and Modern Korea

The Roots of Militarism, 18661945
Carter J. Eckert
For South Koreans, the twenty years from the early 1960s to the late 1970s were the best and
worst of timesa period of unprecedented economic growth and of political oppression
that deepened as prosperity spread. In this masterly account, Carter J. Eckert finds the
roots of South Koreas dramatic socioeconomic transformation in the countrys long history
of militarizationa history personified in South Koreas paramount leader, Park Chung Hee.
The first volume of a comprehensive two-part history, Park Chung Hee and Modern Korea:
The Roots of Militarism, 18661945 reveals how the foundations of the dynamic but strongly
authoritarian Korean state that emerged under Park were laid during the period of Japanese
occupation. As a cadet in the Manchurian Military Academy, Park and his fellow officers
absorbed the Imperial Japanese Armys ethos of victory at all costs and absolute obedience
to authority. Japanese military culture decisively shaped Koreas postwar generation of
military leaders. When Park seized power in an army coup in 1961, he brought this training
and mentality to bear on the project of Korean modernization.
Korean society under Park exuded a distinctively martial character, Eckert shows. Its
hallmarks included the belief that the army should intervene in politics in times of crisis;
that a central authority should plan and monitor the countrys economic system; that the
Korean peoples can do spirit would allow them to overcome any challenge; and that the
state should maintain a strong disciplinary presence in society, reserving the right to use
violence to maintain order.

Capital without Borders
Wealth Managers and the One Percent

Brooke Harrington
How do the one percent hold on to their wealth? And how do

they keep getting richer, despite financial crises and the myriad of
taxes on income, capital gains, and inheritance? Capital without
Borders takes a novel approach to these questions by looking at
professionals who specialize in protecting the fortunes of the
worlds richest people: wealth managers. Brooke Harrington spent
nearly eight years studying this little-known groupincluding two
years training to become a wealth manager herself. She then
followed the money to the eighteen most popular tax havens in the world, interviewing
practitioners to understand how they helped their high-net-worth clients avoid taxes,
creditors, and disgruntled heirsall while staying just within the letter of the law.
Capital without Borders reveals how wealth managers use offshore banks, shell corporations,
and trusts to shield billions in private wealth not only from taxation but from all manner of
legal obligations. And it shows how practitioners justify their work, despite evidence that
it erodes government authority and contributes to global inequality.
Harringtons research offers the first glimpse into the tactics and mentality of a secretive
profession that controls astonishingly large flows of capital around the world. Based on
sixty-five practitioner interviewsconducted in the traditional financial centers of Europe
and the Americas as well as the up-and-coming tax havens of Africa, Asia, and the South
PacificCapital without Borders gives voice for the first time to an elite that has worked
quietly and unobtrusively to enrich the one percent.

Charlemagne
Johannes Fried
TRANSLATED BY Peter Lewis
When Charlemagne died in 814 CE, he left behind a dominion and a legacy unlike anything
seen in Western Europe since the fall of Rome. Distinguished historian and author of The
Middle Ages Johannes Fried presents a new biographical study of the legendary Frankish
king and emperor, illuminating the life and reign of a ruler who shaped Europes destiny in
ways few figures, before or since, have equaled.
Living in an age of faith, Charlemagne was above all a Christian king, Fried says. He made
his court in Aix-la-Chapelle the center of a religious and intellectual renaissance, enlisting
the Anglo-Saxon scholar Alcuin of York to be his personal tutor, and insisting that monks be
literate and versed in rhetoric and logic. He erected a magnificent cathedral in his capital,
decorating it lavishly while also dutifully attending
Mass every morning and evening. And to an extent
also by Johannes Fried
greater than any ruler before him, Charlemagne
The Middle Ages
enhanced the papacys influence, becoming
the first king to enact the legal principle that the
$35.00 25.00 cloth
pope was beyond the reach of temporal justicea
decision with fateful consequences for European
politics for centuries afterward.
Though devout, Charlemagne was not saintly.
He was a warrior-king, intimately familiar with violence and bloodshed. And he enjoyed
worldly pleasures, including physical love. Though there are aspects of his personality we
can never know with certainty, Fried paints a compelling portrait of a ruler, a time, and a
kingdom that deepens our understanding of the man often called the father of Europe.
Johannes Fried was, until his retirement, Professor of Medieval History at the University
of Frankfurt.

On Betrayal
Avishai Margalit
This book is written in the analytic style, but in Margalits own version of that style, which
is wonderfully engaging. Margalit possesses what Keats called negative capability. His
discussion is provocative and illuminating, without reaching for any kind of irritable
certainty. This allows Margalit to connect all the forms of betrayal and to explore their
various versions, across many centuries and many cultures.
Michael Walzer
Adultery, treason, and apostasy no longer carry the weight they once did. Yet we constantly
see and hear stories of betrayal, and many people have personally experienced a
destructive breach of loyalty. Avishai Margalit argues that the tension between the ubiquity
of betrayal and the loosening of its hold is a sign of the strain between ethics and morality,
between thick and thin human relations. On Betrayal offers a philosophical account of thick
human relationsrelationships with friends, family, and core communitiesthrough their
pathology, betrayal.
Judgments of betrayal often shift unreliably. A whistle-blower to some is a backstabber
to others; a traitor to one side is a hero to the other. Yet the notion of what it means to
betray is remarkably consistent across cultures and eras. Betrayal undermines thick trust,
dissolving the glue that holds our most meaningful relationships together. Recently, public
attention has lingered on trust between strangerson relations that play a central role in
the globalized economy. These, according to Margalit, are guided by morality. On Betrayal
is about ethics: what we owe to the people and groups that give us our sense of belonging.
Margalits clear-sighted account draws on literary, historical, and personal sources,
including stories from his childhood during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Through its
discussion of betrayal, it examines what our thick relationships are and should be and
revives the long-discarded notion of fraternity.
Avishai Margalit is Schulman Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem and a former George F. Kennan Professor at the Institute for Advanced
Study, Princeton. He is author of The Ethics of Memory, Idolatry, and The Decent Society

Dark Ghettos
Injustice, Dissent, and Reform

Tommie Shelby
A major, groundbreaking contribution to both philosophical and public-policy discourse

about the ghetto poor. Shelby radically challenges an approach to thinking about black
poverty that is deeply embedded in American intellectual and political life. And through
his idea of a political ethics of the oppressed, he has more or less invented a new area of
philosophical inquiry.
Robert Gooding-Williams
Why do American ghettos persist? Decades after Moynihans report on the black family
and the Kerner Commissions investigations of urban disorders, deeply disadvantaged
black communities remain a disturbing reality. Scholars and commentators today often
identify some factorsuch as single motherhood, joblessness, or violent street crimeas
the key to solving the problem and recommend policies accordingly. But, Tommie Shelby
argues, these attempts to fix ghettos or help their poor inhabitants ignore fundamental
questions of justice and fail to see the urban poor as moral agents responding to injustice.
Drawing on liberal-egalitarian philosophy and informed by leading social science research,
Dark Ghettos examines the thorny questions of political morality raised by ghettos. Should
government foster integrated neighborhoods? If a culture of poverty exists, what
interventions are justified? Should single parenthood be avoided or deterred? Is voluntary
nonwork or crime an acceptable mode of dissent? How should a criminal justice system
treat the oppressed? Shelby offers practical answers, framed in terms of what justice
requires of both a government and its citizens, and he views the oppressed as allies in the
fight for a society that warrants everyones allegiance.
The ghetto is not their problem but ours, privileged and disadvantaged alike, Shelby
writes. The existence of ghettos is evidence that our society is marred by structural
injustices that demand immediate rectification. Dark Ghettos advances a social vision and
political ethics that calls for putting the abolition of ghettos at the center of reform.

Studies and of Philosophy at Harvard University. He is author of We Who Are Dark

Tamil
A Biography
David Shulman
David Shulman has raised an impressive monument to Tamil, written with erudition and
wit. This biography deals with much more than languageliterature, culture, geography,
historyall combine in praise of beauty and love.
Tzvetan Todorov
Spoken by eighty million people in South Asia and a diaspora that stretches across the
globe, Tamil is one of the great world languages, and one of the few ancient languages that
survives as a mother tongue for so many speakers. David Shulman presents a comprehensive
cultural history of Tamillanguage, literature, and civilizationemphasizing how Tamil
speakers and poets have understood the unique features of their language over its long
history. Impetuous, musical, whimsical, in constant flux, Tamil is a living entity, and this is
its biography.
Two stories animate Shulmans narrative. The first concerns the evolution of Tamils
distinctive modes of speaking, thinking, and singing. The second describes Tamils major
expressive themes, the stunning poems of love and war known as Sangam poetry, and
Tamils influence as a shaping force within Hinduism. Shulman tracks Tamil from its earliest
traces at the end of the first millennium BCE through the classical period, 850 to 1200 CE,
when Tamil-speaking rulers held sway over southern India, and into late-medieval and
modern times, including the deeply contentious politics that overshadow Tamil today.
Tamil is more than a language, Shulman says. It is a body of knowledge, much of it intrinsic
to an ancient culture and sensibility. Tamil can mean both knowing how to lovein the
manner of classical love poetryand being a civilized person. It is thus a kind of grammar,
not merely of the language in its spoken and written forms but of the creative potential of
its speakers.

This Vast Southern Empire
Slaveholders at the Helm of American Foreign Policy

Matthew Karp
Karp has written a pathbreaking workextremely polished, imaginatively conceptualized,

shrewdly organized, engagingly written and exhaustively researched.
Robert E. May, author of SLAVERY, RACE, AND CONQUEST IN THE TROPICS
When the United States emerged as a world power in the years before the Civil War, the
men who presided over the nations triumphant territorial and economic expansion were
largely southern slaveholders. As presidents, cabinet officers, and diplomats, slaveholding
leaders controlled the main levers of foreign policy inside an increasingly powerful
American state. This Vast Southern Empire explores the international vision and strategic
operations of these southerners at the commanding heights of American politics.
For proslavery leaders like John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis, the nineteenth-century
world was torn between two hostile forces: a rising movement against bondage, and
an Atlantic plantation system that was larger and more productive than ever before. In
this great struggle, southern statesmen saw the United States as slaverys most powerful
champion. Overcoming traditional qualms about a strong central government, slaveholding
leaders harnessed the power of the state to defend slavery abroad. During the antebellum
years, they worked energetically to modernize the U.S. military, while steering American
diplomacy to protect slavery in Brazil, Cuba, and the Republic of Texas.
As Matthew Karp demonstrates, these leaders were nationalists, not separatists. Their vast
southern empire was not an independent South but the entire United States, and only the
election of Abraham Lincoln broke their grip on national power. Fortified by years at the
helm of U.S. foreign affairs, slaveholding elites formed their own Confederacynot only as
a desperate effort to preserve their property but as a confident bid to shape the future of
the Atlantic world.

The War Within
Diaries from the Siege of Leningrad

Alexis Peri
Vivid, true, and magnificently crafted. Peri has peeled away layer after layer of the human
record to its corephysical, mental, spiritual.
Nina Tumarkin, author of LENIN LIVES
In September 1941, two and a half months after the Nazis invaded
the Soviet Union, the German Wehrmacht encircled Leningrad.
Cut off from the rest of Russia, the city remained blockaded for
872 days, at a cost of almost a million civilian lives, making it one
of the longest and deadliest sieges in modern history.
The War Within chronicles the Leningrad blockade from the
perspective of those who endured the unendurable. Drawing
on 125 unpublished diaries written by individuals from all walks
of Soviet life, Alexis Peri tells the tragic story of how citizens struggled to make sense
of a world collapsing around them. Residents recorded in intimate detail the toll taken
on minds and bodies by starvation, bombardment, and disease. For many, diary writing
became instrumental to survivala tangible reminder of their humanity. The journals also
reveal that Leningraders began to reexamine Soviet life and ideology from new, often
critical perspectives.
Leningrads party organization encouraged diary writing, hoping the texts would guide
future histories of this epic battle. But in a bitter twist, the diarists became victims not only
of Hitler but also of Stalin. The citys isolation from Moscow made it politically suspect.
When the blockade was lifted in 1944, Kremlin officials censored publications describing
the ordeal and arrested hundreds of Leningrads wartime leaders. Many were executed.
Diariesnow dangerous to their authorswere concealed in homes, shelved in archives,
and forgotten. The War Within recovers these lost narratives, shedding light on one of
World War IIs darkest episodes.

DEMOCRACY
A Case Study
D AV I D A . M O S S
To all who declare that American democracy is brokenriven by partisanship, undermined

by extremism, and corrupted by wealthhistory offers hope. In nearly every generation
since the nations founding, critics have made similar declarations, and yet the nation is still
standing. When should we believe the doomsayers? In Democracy: A Case Study historian
David Moss adapts the case study method made famous by Harvard Business School to
revitalize our conversations about governance and democracy and show how the United
States has often thrived on political conflict.
Democracys nineteen case studies were honed in Mosss Harvard course, which is among
the institutions most highly rated. Each one presents readers with a pivotal moment in U.S.
history and raises questions facing key decision makers at the time: Should delegates to
the Constitutional Convention support James Madisons proposal for a congressional veto
over state laws? Should President Lincoln resupply Fort Sumter? Should Florida lawmakers
approve or reject the Equal Rights Amendment?
These vibrant cases ask readers to weigh choices and consequences, wrestle with
momentous decisions, and come to their own conclusions. They provoke us to rethink
which factors make the difference between constructive and destructive conflict, and they
provide an opportunity to reengage the passionate debates that are crucial to a healthy
society. Democracy: A Case Study invites us all to experience American history anew
and come away with a deeper understanding of our democracys greatest strengths and
vulnerabilities as well as its extraordinary resilience over time.

Once Within Borders
Territories of Power, Wealth, and Belonging since 1500

Charles S. Maier
A brilliant synthesis of an enormous amount of empirical material about the birth and
development of what is conventionally thought of as modernity.
Geoff Eley, University of Michigan
Throughout history, human societies have been organized preeminently as territories
politically bounded regions whose borders define the jurisdiction of laws and the
movement of peoples. At a time when the technologies of globalization are eroding
barriers to communication, transportation, and trade, Once Within Borders explores the
fitful evolution of territorial organization as a worldwide practice of human societies.
Master historian Charles S. Maier tracks the epochal changes that have defined territories
over five centuries and draws attention to ideas and technologies that contribute to
territorialitys remarkable resilience.
Territorial boundaries transform geography into history by providing a framework for
organizing political and economic life. But properties of territorytheir meanings and
applicationshave changed considerably across space and time. In the West, modern
territoriality developed in tandem with ideas of sovereignty in the seventeenth century.
Sovereign rulers took steps to fortify their borders, map and privatize the land, and
centralize their sway over the populations and resources within their domain. The arrival
of railroads and the telegraph enabled territorial expansion at home and abroad as well as
the extension of control over large spaces. By the late nineteenth century, the extent of
a nations territory had become an index of its power, with overseas colonial possessions
augmenting prestige and wealth and redefining territoriality.
Turning to the geopolitical crises of the twentieth century, Maier pays close attention to
our present moment, asking in what ways modern nations and economies still live within
borders and to what degree our societies have moved toward a post-territiorial world.

Collective Choice and Social Welfare
An Expanded Edition
Amartya Sen
Can the values which individual members of society attach to different alternatives be
aggregated into values for society as a whole, in a way that is both fair and theoretically
sound? Is the majority principle a workable rule for making decisions? How should income
inequality be measured? When and how can we compare the distribution of welfare in different societies? So reads the 1998 Nobel citation by the Swedish Academy, acknowledging Amartya Sens important contributions in welfare economics and particularly his work
in Collective Choice and Social Welfare.
Originally published in 1970, this classic study has been recognized for its groundbreaking
role in integrating economics and ethics, and for its influence in opening up new areas
of research in social choice, including aggregative assessment. It has also had a large
influence on international organizations, including the United Nations, notably in its work
on human development. The book showed that the impossibility theorems in social
choice theoryled by the pioneering work of Kenneth Arrowdo not negate the possibility
of reasoned and democratic social choice.
Sens ideas about social choice, welfare economics, inequality, poverty, and human
rights have continued to evolve since the books first appearance. This expanded edition
preserves the text of the original while presenting eleven new chapters of fresh arguments
and results. Both the new and original chapters alternate between nonmathematical
treatments of Sens subjects, accessible to all, and mathematical arguments and proofs. A
new introduction gives a far-reaching, up-to-date overview of the subject of social choice.

Elizabeth Bishop at Work

Eleanor Cook
Very few critics have been able to get inside Bishops work, and Eleanor Cook does just
that. Grasping the subtle relationship between Bishops technique and sensibility, she has
produced a comprehensive guide to her poetry that will be useful and generative for readers
of all sorts.
Langdon Hammer, Yale University
In her lifetime Elizabeth Bishop was appreciated as a writers writer (John Ashbery once
called her the writers writers writer). But since her death in 1979 her reputation has
grown, and today she is recognized as a major twentieth-century poet. Critics and
biographers now habitually praise Bishops mastery of her art, but all too often they have
little to say about how her poetry does its sublime workin the ear and in the minds eye.
Elizabeth Bishop at Work examines Bishops art in detailher diction, syntax, rhythm, and
meter, her acute sense of place, and her attention to the natural world. It is also a study
of the poet working at something, challenging herself to try new things and to push
boundaries. Eleanor Cook traces Bishops growing confidence and sense of freedom, from
her first collection, North & South, to Questions of Travel, in which she fully realized her
poetic powers, to Geography III and the breathtaking late poems, whichin individual
waysgather in and extend the poets earlier work. Cook shows how Bishop shapes each
collection, putting to rest the notion that her published volumes are miscellanies.
Elizabeth Bishop at Work is intended for readers and writers as well as teachers. In
explicating exactly how Bishops poems work, Cook suggests how we ourselves might
become more attentive readers and better writers. Bishop has been compared to Vermeer,
and as with his paintings, so with her poems. They create small worlds where every detail
matters.

Marvellous Thieves
Secret Authors of the Arabian Nights

Paulo Lemos Horta
Paulo Horta has uncovered a mass of fresh evidence about key figures in the making of the
Arabian Nights and communicates his startling findings with a storytellers verve. A highly
entertaining, attentive, and scholarly work of literary detection.
Marina Warner
Although many of its stories originated centuries ago in the Middle East, the Arabian
Nights is regarded as a classic of world literature by virtue of the seminal French and
English translations produced in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Supporting the
suspicion that the story collection is more Parisian than Persian, some of its most famous
tales, including the stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba, appear nowhere in the original sources.
Yet as befits a world where magic lamps may conceal a jinni and fabulous treasures lie just
beyond secret doors, the truth of the Nights is richer than standard criticism suggests.
Marvellous Thieves recovers the cross-cultural encountersthe collaborations, borrowings,
and acts of literary larcenythat produced the Arabian Nights in European languages.
Ranging from the coffeehouses of Aleppo to the salons of Paris, from colonial Calcutta
to Bohemian London, Paulo Lemos Horta introduces readers to the poets and scholars,
pilgrims and charlatans who made crucial but largely unacknowledged contributions to
this most famous of story collections. Each version of the Nights betrays the distinctive
cultural milieu in which it was produced and the workshop atmosphere of its compilation.
Time and again, Horta shows, stories were retold and elaborate commentaries added to
remake the Nights in accordance with the personalities and ambitions of the storytellers
and writers.
Untangling the intricate web of invention and plagiarism that ensnares the Nights, Horta
rehabilitates the voices hidden in its long historyvoices that mirror the endless potential
of Shahrazads stories to proliferate.

An impressive book with an incisive fresh exposition of how Romes rulers triumphantly
remade their empire in response to relentless pressures over two-and-a-half centuries. A
page-turner set on a vast physical canvas stretching from Scotland to Ethiopia and China.
Richard Talbert, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
The Triumph of Empire takes readers into the political heart of imperial Rome and recounts
the extraordinary challenges overcome by a flourishing empire. Michael Kulikowskis
history begins with the reign of Hadrian, who visited the farthest reaches of his domain
and created stable frontiers, to the decades after Constantine the Great, who overhauled
the government, introduced a new state religion, and founded a second Rome.
Factionalism and intrigue sapped the empire from within, even at its apex. Roman politics
could resemble a blood sport: rivals resorted to assassination; emperors rose and fell with
bewildering speed, their reigns measured in weeks, not years; and imperial succession was
never entirely assured. Canny emperorsincluding Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus,
and Diocletianconstantly cultivated the aristocracys favor to maintain a grip on power.
Despite such volatility, the Roman Empire protected its borders, defeating successive
attacks from Goths and Germans, Persians and Parthians. Yet external threats persisted
and the imperial government sagged under its own administrative weight. Religion, too,
was in flux with the rise of Christianity and other forms of monotheism. In the fourth
century CE, Constantine and his heirs reformed imperial institutions by separating civilian
and military hierarchies, restructuring the government of both provinces and cities, and
ensuring the prominence of Christianity.
The Triumph of Empire is a fresh, authoritative narrative of Rome at its height and of its
evolutionfrom being the central power of the Mediterranean world to becoming one of
several great Eurasian civilizations.

The Good Occupation
American Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace

Susan L. Carruthers
It is a book for the reader who enjoyed the notion of a greatest generation but may well be
ready for a more complicated understanding of that period.
Marilyn B. Young, New York University
Waged for a just cause and culminating in total victory, World War II was Americas good
war. Yet for millions of GIs overseas, the war did not end with Germany and Japans
surrender. The Good Occupation chronicles Americas transition from wartime combatant
to postwar occupier, by exploring the intimate thoughts and feelings of the ordinary
servicemen and women who participatedoften reluctantlyin the difficult project of
rebuilding nations they had so recently worked to destroy.
When the war ended, most of the seven million Americans in uniform longed to return
to civilian life. Yet many remained on active duty, becoming the after-army tasked with
bringing order and justice to societies ravaged by war. Susan Carruthers shows how
American soldiers struggled to deal with unprecedented catastrophe among millions of
displaced refugees and concentration camp survivors while negotiating the inevitable
tensions that arose between victors and the defeated enemy. Drawing on thousands of
unpublished letters, diaries, and memoirs, she reveals the stories service personnel told
themselves and their loved ones back home in order to make sense of their disorienting
and challenging postwar mission.
The picture Carruthers paints is not the one most Americans recognize today. A venture
undertaken by soldiers with little appetite for the task has crystallized, in the retelling, into
the good occupation of national mythology: emblematic of the United States role as a
bearer of democracy, progress, and prosperity. In real time, however, winning the peace
proved a perilous business, fraught with temptation and hazard.

Flaubert
Michel Winock
TRANSLATED BY Nicholas Elliott
Michel Winock has written a great biography, bringing Flaubert down from his
stylistic Olympus, to paint a portrait of a character grounded in history, pulsating
with blood and life.
Grgoire Kauffmann, LEXPRESS
Well-researched, elegantly written, and particularly good in discussing Flauberts work as
well as his life.
Roger Pearson, University of Oxford
Michel Winocks biography situates Gustave Flauberts life and work in Frances century of
great democratic transition. Flaubert did not welcome the egalitarian society predicted
by Tocqueville. Wary of the masses, he rejected the universal suffrage hard won by the
Revolution of 1848, and he was exasperated by the nascent socialism that promoted the
collective to the detriment of the individual. But above all, he hated the bourgeoisie. Vulgar,
ignorant, obsessed with material comforts, impervious to beauty, the French middle class
embodied for Flaubert every vice of the democratic age. His loathing became a fixation
and a source of literary inspiration.
Flaubert depicts a man whose personality, habits, and thought are a stew of paradoxes.
The author of Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education spent his life inseparably bound
to solitude and melancholy, yet he enjoyed periodic escapes from his hole in Croisset
to pursue a variety of pleasures: fervent friendships, society soires, and a whirlwind of
literary and romantic encounters. He prided himself on the impersonality of his writing, but
he did not hesitate to use material from his own life in his fiction. Nowhere are Flauberts
contradictions more evident than in his politics. An enemy of power who held no nostalgia
for the monarchy or church, he was nonetheless hostile to collectivist utopias.
Despite declarations of the timelessness and sacredness of Art, Flaubert could not
transcend the era he abominated. Rejecting the modern world, he paradoxically became
its celebrated chronicler and the most modern writer of his time.
Michel Winock is Professor Emeritus at the Institut dtudes politiques de Paris
(Sciences-Po). He won the Prix Goncourt de la Biographie for Madame de Stal.

Who Owns the Dead?
The Science and Politics of Death at Ground Zero

Jay D. Aronson
After September 11, with New Yorkers reeling from the World Trade Center attack, Chief
Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch proclaimed that his staff would do more than confirm the
identity of the individuals who were killed. They would attempt to identify and return to
families every human body part recovered from the site that was larger than a thumbnail.
As Jay D. Aronson shows, delivering on that promise proved to be a monumentally difficult
task. Only 293 bodies were found intact. The rest would be painstakingly collected in
21,900 bits and pieces scattered throughout the skyscrapers debris.
This massive effortthe most costly forensic investigation in U.S. historywas intended
to provide families conclusive knowledge about the deaths of loved ones. But it was also
undertaken to demonstrate that Americans were dramatically different from the terrorists
who so callously disregarded the value of human life.
Bringing a new perspective to the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, Who Owns the
Dead? tells the story of the recovery, identification, and memorialization of the 2,753
people killed in Manhattan on 9/11. For a host of cultural and political reasons that Aronson
unpacks, this process has generated endless debate, from contestation of the commercial
redevelopment of the site to lingering controversies over the storage of unclaimed remains
at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum. The memory of the victims has also been used
to justify military activities in the Middle East that have led to the deaths of an untold
number of innocent civilians.

The Market as God

Harvey Cox
The Market has deified itself, according to Harvey Coxs brilliant exegesis. And all of the
worlds problemswidening inequality, a rapidly warming planet, the injustices of global
povertyare consequently harder to solve. Only by tracing how the Market reached its
divine status can we hope to restore it to its proper place as servant of humanity.
The Market as God captures how our world has fallen in thrall to the business theology
of supply and demand. According to its acolytes, the Market is omniscient, omnipotent,
and omnipresent. It knows the value of everything, and determines the outcome of every
transaction; it can raise nations and ruin households, and nothing escapes its reductionist
commodification. The Market comes complete with its own doctrines, prophets, and
evangelical zeal to convert the world to its way of life. Cox brings that theology out of
the shadows, demonstrating that the way the world economy operates is neither natural
nor inevitable but shaped by a global system of values and symbols that can be best
understood as a religion.
Drawing on biblical sources, economists and financial experts, prehistoric religions, Greek
mythology, historical patterns, and the work of natural and social scientists, Cox points
to many parallels between the development of Christianity and the Market economy. At
various times in history, both have garnered enormous wealth and displayed pompous
behavior. Both have experienced the corruption of power. However, what the religious
have learned over the millennia, sometimes at great cost, still eludes the Market faithful:
humility.

Thomas Hardy
Half a Londoner
Mark Ford
Wanted: Good Hardy Critic jested Philip Larkin. Mark Ford fits the bill. Like his subject,
Thomas Hardy, Ford is an eminent poet and a knowledgeable Londoner. There is much
for the lover and student of Hardy to learn, about an area of his life which has not, till now,
received the attention it deserves.
John Sutherland, University College London
Because Thomas Hardy is so closely associated with the rural Wessex of his novels, stories,
and poems, it is easy to forget that he was, in his own words, half a Londoner. Focusing on
the formative five years in his early twenties when Hardy lived in the city, but also on his
subsequent movement back and forth between Dorset and the capital, Mark Ford shows
that the Dorset-London axis is critical to an understanding of his identity as a man and his
achievement as a writer.
Thomas Hardy: Half a Londoner presents a detailed account of Hardys London experiences,
from his arrival as a shy, impressionable youth, to his embrace of radical views, to his
lionization by upper-class hostesses eager to fte the creator of Tess. Drawing on Hardys
poems, letters, fiction, and autobiography, it offers a subtle, moving exploration of the
authors complex relationship with the metropolis
and those he met or observed there: publishers,

The young Hardys oscillations between the routines

and concerns of Dorsets Higher Bockhampton
and the excitements and dangers of London were crucial to his profound sense of being
torn between mutually dependent but often mutually uncomprehending worlds. This
fundamental self-division, Ford argues, can be traced not only in the poetry and fiction
explicitly set in London but in novels as regionally circumscribed as Far from the Madding
Crowd and Tess of the dUrbervilles.

Just around Midnight
Rock and Roll and the Racial Imagination

Jack Hamilton
By the time Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, the idea of a black man playing lead guitar in a
rock band seemed exotic. Yet a mere ten years earlier, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley had
stood among the most influential rock and roll performers. Why did rock and roll become
white? Just around Midnight reveals the interplay of popular music and racial thought that
was responsible for this shift within the music industry and in the minds of fans.
Rooted in rhythm-and-blues pioneered by black musicians, 1950s rock and roll was
racially inclusive and attracted listeners and performers across the color line. In the 1960s,
however, rock and roll gave way to rock: a new musical ideal regarded as more serious,
more artisticand the province of white musicians. Decoding the racial discourses that
have distorted standard histories of rock music, Jack Hamilton underscores how ideas of
authenticity have blinded us to rocks inextricably interracial artistic enterprise.
According to the standard storyline, the authentic white musician was guided by an
individual creative vision, whereas black musicians were deemed authentic only when they
stayed true to black tradition. Serious rock became white because only white musicians
could be original without being accused of betraying their race. Juxtaposing Sam Cooke
and Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, and
many others, Hamilton challenges the racial categories that oversimplified the sixties
revolution and provides a deeper appreciation of the twists and turns that kept the music
alive.

Thundersticks
Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America

David J. Silverman
Silvermans command of a vast literature and his attention to evidence will put to rest any
remaining doubts about the Indian preference for guns over the bow and arrow.
Gregory Dowd, University of Michigan
The adoption of firearms by American Indians between the seventeenth and nineteenth
centuries marked a turning point in the history of North Americas indigenous peoplesa
cultural earthquake so profound, says David Silverman, that its impact has yet to be
adequately measured. Thundersticks reframes our understanding of Indians historical
relationship with guns, arguing against the notion that they prized these weapons more for
the pyrotechnic terror guns inspired than for their efficiency as tools of war. Native peoples
fully recognized the potential of firearms to assist them in their struggles against colonial
forces, and mostly against one another.
The smoothbore, flintlock musket was Indians stock firearm, and its destructive potential
transformed their lives. For the deer hunters east of the Mississippi, the gun evolved into
an essential hunting tool. Most importantly, well-armed tribes were able to capture and
enslave their neighbors, plunder wealth, and conquer territory. Arms races erupted across
North America, intensifying intertribal rivalries and solidifying the importance of firearms
in Indian politics and culture.
Though American tribes grew dependent on guns manufactured in Europe and the United
States, their dependence never prevented them from rising up against Euro-American
power. The Seminoles, Blackfeet, Lakotas, and others remained formidably armed right
up to the time of their subjugation. Far from being a Trojan horse for colonialism, firearms
empowered American Indians to pursue their interests and defend their political and
economic autonomy over two centuries.

Tibet in Agony
Lhasa 1959
Jianglin Li
TRANSLATED BY Susan Wilf
Through her meticulous research and engaging narrative, Li is the first to convincingly
reconstruct the events that forced the Dalai Lama to escape from Tibet. This pathbreaking
book helps us understand why the violence of 1959 still resonates to this day.
Frank Diktter, author of MAOS GREAT FAMINE
The Chinese Communist government has twice invoked large-scale military might to
crush popular uprisings in capital cities. The second incidentthe notorious massacre in
Tiananmen Square in 1989is well known. The first, thirty years earlier in Tibet, remains
little understood today. Yet in wages of destruction, bloodshed, and trampling of human
rights, the tragic toll of March 1959 surpassed Tiananmen.
Tibet in Agony provides the first clear historical account of the Chinese crackdown in
Lhasa. Sifting facts from the distortions of propaganda and partisan politics, Jianglin
Li reconstructs a chronology of events that lays to rest lingering questions about what
happened in those fate-filled days and why. Her story begins with throngs of Tibetan
demonstrators whofearful that Chinese authorities were planning to abduct the Dalai
Lama, their beloved leaderformed a protective ring around his palace. On the night of
March 17, he fled in disguise, only to reemerge in India weeks later to set up a government
in exile. But no peaceful resolution awaited Tibet. The Chinese army soon began shelling
Lhasa, inflicting thousands of casualties and ravaging heritage sites in the bombardment
and the infantry onslaught that followed. Unable to resist this show of force, the Tibetans
capitulated, putting Mao Zedong in a position to fulfill his long-cherished dream of bringing
Tibet under the Communist yoke.
Lis extensive investigation, including eyewitness interviews and examination of classified
government records, tells a gripping story of a crisis whose aftershocks continue to rattle
the region today.
Jianglin Li is an independent scholar and writer who specializes in post-1950 Tibetan
history and the Tibetan diaspora.

The Politics of Mourning
Death and Honor in Arlington National Cemetery

Micki McElya
Highlighting issues of race, gender, sexuality, and nationhood, McElya not only corrects the
dominant story of military valor but recuperates the lost landscape and lives of Arlington.
Kirk Savage, University of Pittsburgh
Arlington National Cemetery is Americas most sacred shrine, a destination for four million
visitors who each year tour its grounds and honor those buried there. For many, Arlingtons
symbolic importance places it beyond politics. Yet as Micki McElya shows, no site in the
United States plays a more political role in shaping national identity.
Arlington commemorates sacrifices made in the nations wars and armed conflicts. Yet it
has always been a place of struggle over the boundaries of citizenship and the meaning of
honor and love of country. A plantation built by slave labor overlooking Washington, D.C.,
Arlington was occupied by Union forces early in the Civil War. A portion was designated
a federal cemetery in 1864. A camp for the formerly enslaved, Freedmans Village, had
already been established there in 1863, and remained for three decades.
The cemetery was seen primarily as a memorial to the white Civil War dead until its most
famous monument was erected in 1921: the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, symbolizing
universal military sacrifice through the interment of a single World War I Unknown. As a
century of wars abroad secured Arlingtons centrality in the American imagination and more
Unknowns joined the first at the tomb, inclusion within its gates became a prerequisite for
broader claims to national belonging. In revealing how Arlington encompasses the most
inspiring and the most shameful aspects of American history, McElya enriches the story of
this landscape, demonstrating that remembering the past and reckoning with it must go
hand in hand.

The Great Convergence
Information Technology and the New Globalization

Richard Baldwin
Between 1820 and 1990, the share of world income going to todays wealthy nations soared
from twenty percent to almost seventy. Since then, that share has plummeted to where
it was in 1900. As Richard Baldwin explains, this reversal of fortune reflects a new age of
globalization that is drastically different from the old.
In the 1800s, globalization leaped forward when steam power and international peace lowered the costs of moving goods across borders. This triggered a self-fueling cycle of industrial agglomeration and growth that propelled todays rich nations to dominance. That was
the Great Divergence. The new globalization is driven by information technology, which
has radically reduced the cost of moving ideas across borders. This has made it practical
for multinational firms to move labor-intensive work to developing nations. But to keep the
whole manufacturing process in sync, the firms also shipped their marketing, managerial, and technical know-how abroad along with the offshored jobs. The new possibility of
combining high tech with low wages propelled the rapid industrialization of a handful of
developing nations, the simultaneous deindustrialization of developed nations, and a commodity supercycle that is only now petering out. The result is todays Great Convergence.
Because globalization is now driven by fast-paced technological change and the fragmentation of production, its impact is more sudden, more selective, more unpredictable, and
more uncontrollable. As The Great Convergence shows, the new globalization presents
rich and developing nations alike with unprecedented policy challenges in their efforts to
maintain reliable growth and social cohesion.

The Vicarious Brain, Creator of Worlds

Alain Berthoz
TRANSLATED BY Giselle Weiss
Groping around a familiar room in the dark, or learning to read again after a traumatic brain
injury; navigating a virtual landscape through an avatar, or envisioning a scene through the
eyes of a characterall of these are expressions of one fundamental property of life, Alain
Berthoz argues. They are instances of vicariance, when the brain sidesteps an impasse by
substituting one process or function for another. In The Vicarious Brain, Creator of Worlds,
Berthoz shows that this capacity is the foundation of the human ability to think creatively
and function in a complex world.
Vicariousness is often associated with proxies and delegates, but it also refers to a
biological process in which a healthy organ takes over for a defective counterpart. Berthoz,
a neuroscientist, approaches vicariance through neuronal networks, asking how, for
example, a blind person can develop a heightened sense of touch. He also describes
how our brains model physical reality and how we use these models to understand things
that are foreign to us. Forging across disciplinary boundaries, he explores notions of the
vicarious in paleontology, ethology, art, literature, and psychology.
Through an absorbing examination of numerous facets of vicariance, Berthoz reveals its
impact on an individuals daily decision making and, more broadly, on the brains creation
of worlds. As our personal and social lives are transformed by virtual realities, it is more
crucial than ever before that we understand vicariance within our increasingly complex
environment, and as an aspect of our own multiplying identities.

Courting Death
The Supreme Court and Capital Punishment

Carol S. Steiker Jordan M. Steiker
This is the most important book about the death penalty for a generation and, likely, ever.
Anyone who cares about the state of justice in America should read this book.
Lincoln Caplan, Journalist and Visiting Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School
Unique among Western democracies in refusing to eradicate the death penalty, the United
States has attempted instead to reform and rationalize state death penalty practices
through federal constitutional law. Courting Death traces the unusual and distinctive
history of top-down judicial regulation of capital punishment under the Constitution and
its unanticipated consequences for our time.
In the 1960s and 1970s, in the face of widespread abolition of the death penalty around
the world, provisions for capital punishment that had long fallen under the purview of
the states were challenged in federal courts. The U.S. Supreme Court intervened in two
landmark decisions, first by constitutionally invalidating the death penalty in Furman v.
Georgia (1972) on the grounds that it was capricious and discriminatory, followed four years
later by its restoration in Gregg v. Georgia (1976). Since then, by neither retaining capital
punishment in unfettered form nor abolishing it outright, the Supreme Court has created a
complex regulatory apparatus that has brought executions in many states to a halt, while
also failing to address the problems that led the Court to intervene in the first place.
While execution chambers remain active in several states, constitutional regulation has
contributed to the death penaltys new fragility. In the next decade or two, Carol Steiker
and Jordan Steiker argue, the fate of the American death penalty is likely to be sealed by
this failed judicial experiment. Courting Death illuminates both the promise and pitfalls of
constitutional regulation of contentious social issues.

QBism
The Future of Quantum Physics

Hans Christian von Baeyer
Hans Christian von Baeyer has done a wonderful job with this book. So many of his turns
of phrase are insightful gems I never could have formulated myself. Now for the first time I
believe I know how to teach the subject, and there is no better understanding one can have
than that!
Christopher A. Fuchs, University of Massachusetts Boston, and key architect of QBism
Measured by the accuracy of its predictions and the scope of its technological applications,
quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in scienceas well as one of the
most misunderstood. The deeper meaning of quantum mechanics remains controversial
almost a century after its invention. Providing a way past quantum theorys paradoxes and
puzzles, QBism offers a strikingly new interpretation that opens up for the nonspecialist
reader the profound implications of quantum mechanics for how we understand and
interact with the world.
Short for Quantum Bayesianism, QBism adapts many of the conventional features of
quantum mechanics in light of a revised understanding of probability. Bayesian probability,
unlike the standard frequentist probability, is defined as a numerical measure of the degree
of an observers belief that a future event will occur or that a particular proposition is true.
Bayesianisms advantages over frequentist probability are that it is applicable to singular
events, its probability estimates can be updated based on acquisition of new information,
and it can effortlessly include frequentist results. But perhaps most important, much of the
weirdness associated with quantum theorythe idea that an atom can be in two places at
once, or that signals can travel faster than the speed of light, or that Schrdingers cat can
be simultaneously dead and alivedissolves under the lens of QBism.
Using straightforward language without equations, Hans Christian von Baeyer clarifies the
meaning of quantum mechanics in a commonsense way that suggests a new approach to
physics in general.

The Rhinoceros and the Megatherium

An Essay in Natural History
Juan Pimentel
TRANSLATED BY Peter Mason
In a series of brilliantly illuminating juxtapositions, between Renaissance and Revolution,

between the worlds of the east and west Indies, and, above all, between the enterprises of
analysis and description, Pimentels astute book shows how the work of imagination and of
ingenious imagery has long played a decisive if neglected role in making natural knowledge.
Simon Schaffer, University of Cambridge
One animal left India in 1515, caged in the hold of a Portuguese ship, and sailed around
Africa to Lisbonthe first of its species to see Europe for more than a thousand years. The
other crossed the Atlantic from South America to Madrid in 1789, its huge fossilized bones
packed in crates, its species unknown. How did Europeans three centuries apart respond to
these two mysterious beastsa rhinoceros, known only from ancient texts, and a nameless
monster? As Juan Pimentel explains, the reactions reflect deep intellectual changes but
also the enduring power of image and imagination to shape our understanding of the
natural world.
We know the rhinoceros today as Drers Rhinoceros, after the German artists iconic
woodcut. His portrait was inaccurateDrer never saw the beast and relied on conjecture,
aided by a sketch from Lisbon. But the influence of his extraordinary work reflected a
steady move away from ancient authority to the dissemination in print of new ideas and
images. By the time the megatherium arrived in Spain, that movement had transformed
science. When published drawings found their way to Paris, the great zoologist Georges
Cuvier correctly deduced that the massive bones must have belonged to an extinct giant
sloth. It was a pivotal moment in the discovery of the prehistoric world.
The Rhinoceros and the Megatherium offers a penetrating account of two remarkable
episodes in the cultural history of science and is itself a vivid example of the scientific
imagination at work.

Elviss Army
Cold War GIs and the Atomic Battlefield

Brian McAllister Linn
The story of how the Army sought to adapt to the atomic age is a fascinating one and Linn
goes considerably beyond what has previously been written.
Thomas G. Mahnken, U.S. Naval War College
When the U.S. Army drafted Elvis Presley in 1958, it quickly set about transforming the
King of Rock and Roll from a rebellious teen idol into a clean-cut GI. Trading in his goldtrimmed jacket for standard-issue fatigues, Elvis became a model soldier in an army facing
the unprecedented challenge of building a fighting force for the Atomic Age.
In an era that threatened Soviet-American thermonuclear annihilation, the army declared
it could limit atomic warfare to the battlefield. It not only adopted a radically new way of
fighting but also revamped its equipment, organization, concepts, and training practices.
From massive garrisons in Germany and Korea to nuclear tests to portable atomic
weapons, the army reinvented itself. Its revolution in warfare required an equal revolution
in personnel: the new army needed young officers and soldiers who were highly motivated,
well trained, and technologically adept. Drafting Elvis demonstrated that even this icon of
youth culture was not too cool to wear the armys uniform.
The army of the 1950s was Americas most racially and economically egalitarian institution,
providing millions with education, technical skills, athletics, and other opportunities. With
the cooperation of both the army and the media, military service became a common
theme in television, music, and movies, and part of this generations identity. Brian Linn
traces the origins, evolution, and ultimate failure of the armys attempt to transform itself
for atomic warfare, revealing not only the armys vital role in creating Cold War America but
also the experiences of its forgotten soldiers.

Why Do We Still Have the Electoral College?

Alexander Keyssar
Every four years, millions of Americans find themselves asking why they choose their
presidents through the peculiar mechanism called the Electoral Collegean arcane
institution that narrows election campaigns to swing states and can permit the loser of the
popular vote to become president. Why are a states electoral votes awarded on a winnertake-all basis? Why not have a national popular vote, which is what most Americans would
prefer?
Such questions are not unique to our own time. The Electoral College has had critics
since the early nineteenth century, and over the years Congress has considered hundreds
of constitutional amendments aimed at transforming the electoral system. On several
occasions, such amendments have come close to passage. Alexander Keyssar traces the
origins of the Electoral College as a much wrangled-over compromise among delegates to
the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention who had no previous experience with electing
a chief executive. He explores all of the major efforts to abolish or significantly reform the
Electoral Collegein the 1810s and 1820s, the postCivil War era, and the late 1960sto
discover why these efforts have failed. The reasons, which have shifted over time, include
the tendency of political parties to elevate partisan advantage above democratic values,
Americas fraught legacy of slavery and racism, and the extraordinary difficulty of passing
any constitutional amendment. Why Do We Still Have the Electoral College? demonstrates
that the most common explanation for the institutions persistencethat small states have
blocked reforms for fear of losing political influenceis simply untrue.

The Menorah
From the Bible to Modern Israel

Steven Fine
A remarkably comprehensive and accessible study of this most ancient of all Jewish symbols,
from its Biblical roots in Ancient Near Eastern culture through its Roman re-casting and
Christian appropriation down to its contemporary uses and misuses by Israeli messianic
extremists and anti-semitic parties in the former Soviet Union.
David Stern
The menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum, has traversed millennia as a living symbol
of Judaism and the Jewish people. Naturally, it did not pass through the ages unaltered.
The Menorah explores the cultural and intellectual history of the Western worlds oldest
continuously used religious symbol. This meticulously researched yet deeply personal
history explains how the menorah illuminates the great changes and continuities in Jewish
culture, from biblical times to modern Israel.
Though the golden seven-branched menorahs of Moses and of the Jerusalem Temple are
artifacts lost to history, the best-known menorah image survives on the Arch of Titus in
Rome. Commemorating the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the arch reliefs
depict the spoils of the Temple, the menorah chief among them, as they appeared in Tituss
great triumphal parade in 71 CE. Steven Fine recounts how, in 2012, his team discovered
the original yellow ochre paint that colored the menorahan event that inspired his search
for the history of this rich symbol from ancient Israel through classical history, the Middle
Ages, and on to our own tumultuous times.
Surveying artifacts and literary sources spanning three thousand yearsfrom the Torah
and the ruins of Rome to yesterdays newsFine presents the menorah as a source of
fascination and illumination for Jews, Samaritans, Christians, and even Freemasons. A
symbol for the divine, for continuity, emancipation, national liberation, and redemption,
the menorah features prominently on Israels state seal and continues to inspire and
challenge in surprising ways.

Next Gen PhD
A Guide to Career Paths in Science

Melanie V. Sinche
For decades, top scientists in colleges and universities pursued a clear path to success:
enroll in a prestigious graduate program, conduct research, publish papers, complete
the PhD, pursue postdoctoral work. With perseverance and a bit of luck, a tenure-track
professorship awaited at the end. In todays academic job market, this scenario represents
the exception. As the number of newly conferred science PhDs keeps rising, the number of
tenured professorships remains stubbornly stagnant. Only 14 percent of those with PhDs in
science occupy tenure-track positions five years after completing their degree.
Next Gen PhD provides a frank and up-to-date assessment of the current career landscape
facing science PhDs. Nonfaculty careers once considered Plan B are now preferred by
the majority of degree holders, says Melanie Sinche. An upper-level science degree is a
prized asset in the eyes of many employers, and a majority of science PhDs build rewarding
careers both inside and outside the university. A certified career counselor with extensive
experience working with graduate students and postdocs, Sinche offers step-by-step
guidance through the career development process: identifying personal strengths and
interests, building work experience and effective networks, assembling job applications,
and learning tactics for interviewing and negotiatingall the essentials for making a
successful career transition.
Sinche profiles science PhDs across a wide range of disciplines who share proven strategies
for landing the right occupation. Current graduate students, postdoctoral scholars,
mentors, and students considering doctoral and postdoctoral training in the sciences will
find Next Gen PhD an empowering resource.

Blake; Or, The Huts of America
A Corrected Edition
Martin R. Delany
EDITED BY Jerome McGann
This version of Blake is without any doubt an edition to be welcomed, and will be cited as the
principal text in the foreseeable future.
Eric Sundquist, Johns Hopkins University
Martin R. Delanys Blake (1859, 18611862) is one of the most important African American
and indeed Americanworks of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry
Blakes escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United
States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations
of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether
through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black
state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining
incomplete, breaking off before its final scene.
This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct
printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual
notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the works composition
and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the
resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist
power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclairs
The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present.
Blake; Or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and
graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American
novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable
edition of Delanys fiction.

The Military-Entertainment Complex

Tim Lenoir Luke Caldwell
A provocative, high-octane book about the war games of everyday life and the future of
digital culture.
Colin Milburn, University of California, Davis
While the term militaryentertainment complex conjures images of dystopian collusion,
what Lenoir and Caldwell uncover is far more disturbing: collusion is unnecessary. Billiondollar video game franchises do more to create a cultural acceptance of war than military PR
could ever hope to achieve.
Walt Williams, Lead Writer, SPEC OPS: THE LINE
With the rise of drones and computer-controlled weapons, the line between war and video
games continues to blur. In this book, the authors trace how the realities of war are deeply
inflected by their representation in popular entertainment. War games and other media,
in turn, feature an increasing number of weapons, tactics, and threat scenarios from the
War on Terror.
While past analyses have emphasized top-down circulation of pro-military ideologies
through government public relations efforts and a cooperative media industry, The
Military-Entertainment Complex argues for a nonlinear relationship, defined largely by
market and institutional pressures. Tim Lenoir and Luke Caldwell explore the history of
the early days of the video game industry, when personnel and expertise flowed from
military contractors to game companies; to a middle period when the military drew on the
booming game industry to train troops; to a present in which media corporations and the
military influence one another cyclically to predict the future of warfare.
In addition to obvious military-entertainment titles like Americas Army, Lenoir and Caldwell
investigate the rise of best-selling franchise games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Medal
of Honor, and Ghost Recon. The narratives and aesthetics of these video games permeate
other media, including films and television programs. This commodification and marketing
of the future of combat has shaped the publics imagination of war in the post-9/11 era and
naturalized the U.S. Pentagons vision of a new way of war.

and Science and Technology Studies at the University of California, Davis. Luke Caldwell

Difference + Design
For over a dozen years, the Vectors

lab has experimented with digital
scholarship through its online
publication, Vectors, and through
Scalar, a multimedia authoring
platform. The history of this
software lab intersects a much
longer tale about computation in
the humanities, as well as tensions
about the role of theory in related
projects.
In the provocative essay Where
Is the Cultural Criticism in the
Digital Humanities? Alan Liu
argues while digital humanists
develop tools, data, and metadata
critically. . . rarely do they extend their critique to the full register
of society, economics, politics, or culture. Many scholars have
taken issues of gender or race as a central concern in digital
projects, including Martha Nell Smith, Susan Brown, Melissa Terras,
Laura Mandell, and Julia Flanders. Nonetheless, this critiquethe
difficulty of centering theory and politics in the longer arc of the
computational humanitiesrings true for many familiar with the
field. Tara McPherson asks what it might mean to designfrom
conceptiondigital tools and applications that emerge from
contextual concerns of cultural theory and, in particular, from a
feminist concern for difference. This path leads back to the Vectors
lab and its ongoing efforts at the intersection of theory and praxis.

Visualizing the Pyramids
The Pyramids on the Giza Plateau

represent perhaps the most
famous archaeological site in the
world, capturing on tomb walls
frozen moments from almost
every aspect of life in ancient
Egypt. This book, by one of the
foremost experts on the history of
Giza, explores new approaches to
cataloging the site, highlighting
efforts at the Museum of Fine Arts
Boston and Harvard University.
With the advent of many new
technologies in the twenty-first
century, the Giza Necropolis is
now available in two, three, and
even four dimensions. Children and scholars alike may study the
material culture of this ancient civilization from afar, often with
greater access than could be achieved in person.
However, these new approaches do raise questions: Does 3-D
modeling and animation truly improve scholarly comprehension
and interpretation? Can interacting with animations still be called
scholarship? Where is the border between academic knowledge
and mere entertainment? Through specific case studies and an
in-depth history of this important project, Peter Der Manuelian
provides an excellent model for other digital visualization initiatives.
He also offers more general philosophical reflection on the nature
of visualization in archaeology and speculates about emerging
technologies and how they may be useful in the future.

Mansfield Park
An Annotated Edition
Jane Austen
EDITED BY Deidre Shauna Lynch
Weaves critical debate into an engaging argument about the subtlety and complexity of
Fanny Prices character. The annotations are unfailingly lucid and succinct, calculated to
stimulate both imagination and thought.
Patricia Meyer Spacks, University of Virginia
Jane Austens most ambitious novel, Mansfield Park, has always generated debate. Austen
herself noted that debate when she conducted a reader survey, recording her acquaintances
mixed reviews in a booklet she entitled Opinions of Mansfield Park. Is this novels dutiful
heroine, Fanny Price, admirable? Or is she (as Austens own mother asserted) insipid?
Is Fanny actually the heroine, or does that title belong more properly to her rival, Mary
Crawford? Does Fannys uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, act as her benefactor, or as a domestic
tyrant? In her notes and introduction to this final volume in Harvards celebrated annotated
Austen series, Deidre Shauna Lynch outlines the critical disagreements Mansfield Park has
sparked and suggests that Austens design in writing the novel was to highlight, not
downplay, the conflicted feelings its plot and heroine can inspire.
Lynch also engages head-on with the novels experimentalism, its technical
virtuosity, and its undiminished capacity, two centuries later, to disturb and to move.
Annotations clarify the nuances of Austens language and explain the novels literary
allusions and its engagements with topical controversies over West Indian slavery
and the conduct of Britains war against France. The volumes numerous illustrations
enable readers to picture the world Mansfield Parks characters inhabit, underscoring
the novels close attention to setting and settings impact on character.

Adorno and Existence

Peter E. Gordon
This extraordinary study is a marvelous interpretation of the whole of Adornos philosophical
thinking by making convincingly clear to what surprising degree it is dependent on some
constitutive ideas of Kierkegaard. This is a tour de force.
Axel Honneth, University of Frankfurt and Columbia University
From the beginning to the end of his career, the critical theorist Theodor W. Adorno
sustained an uneasy but enduring bond with existentialism. His attitude overall was that
of unsparing criticism, verging on polemic. In Kierkegaard he saw an early paragon for
the late flowering of bourgeois solipsism; in Heidegger, an impresario for a jargon of
authenticity cloaking its idealism in an aura of pseudo-concreteness and neo-romantic
kitsch. Even in the straitened rationalism of Husserls phenomenology Adorno saw a vain
attempt to break free from the prison-house of consciousness.
Most scholars of critical theory still regard these philosophical exercises as marginal
worksunfortunate lapses of judgment for a thinker otherwise celebrated for dialectical
mastery. Yet his persistent fascination with the philosophical canons of existentialism and
phenomenology suggests a connection far more productive than mere antipathy. From
his first published book on Kierkegaards aesthetic to the mature studies in negative
dialectics, Adorno was forever returning to the philosophies
of bourgeois interiority, seeking the paradoxical relation
between their manifest failure and their hidden promise.
Ultimately, Adorno saw in them an instructive if unsuccessful
attempt to realize his own ambition: to escape the enchanted
circle of idealism so as to grasp the primacy of the object.
Exercises in immanent critique, Adornos writings on
Kierkegaard, Husserl, and Heidegger present us with a
photographic negativea philosophical portrait of the author himself. In Adorno and
Existence, Peter E. Gordon casts new and unfamiliar light on this neglected chapter in the
history of Continental philosophy.

The Untold Story of the Talking Book

Matthew Rubery
Rubery makes good on his titles promise, telling a story that until now has been boxed up in
the archives, and filling in a key chapter in the history of books and readerships. This book
is more focused and more thorough than any other in the fieldas well as more interesting
and is likely to stand as the definitive history of audiobooks for some time.
James English, University of Pennsylvania
Rubery has scored a decisive contribution to the history of recorded literature in this
magisterially-researched and compelling book. There is something new on every page, with
all the facts and factoids at once apt, eye-opening, and revisionary.
Garrett Stewart, University of Iowa
Histories of the book often move straight from the codex to the digital screen. Left out of
that familiar account is nearly 150 years of audio recordings. Recounting the fascinating
history of audio-recorded literature, Matthew Rubery traces the path of innovation from
Edisons recitation of Mary Had a Little Lamb for his tinfoil phonograph in 1877, to the first
novel-length talking books made for blinded World War I veterans, to todays billion-dollar
audiobook industry.
The Untold Story of the Talking Book focuses on the social impact of audiobooks, not
just the technological history, in telling a story of surprising and impassioned conflicts:
from controversies over which books the Library of Congress selected to become talking
booksyes to Kipling, no to Flaubertto debates about what defines a reader. Delving into
the vexed relationship between spoken and printed texts, Rubery argues that storytelling
can be just as engaging with the ears as with the eyes, and that audiobooks deserve to be
taken seriously. They are not mere derivatives of printed books
but their own form of entertainment.
We have come a long way from the era of sound recorded on wax
cylinders, when people imagined one day hearing entire novels
on mini-phonographs tucked inside their hats. Rubery tells the
untold story of this incredible evolution and, in doing so, breaks
from convention by treating audiobooks as a distinctively modern
art form that has profoundly influenced the way we read.

Virtual Competition
The Promise and Perils of the Algorithm-Driven Economy

Ariel Ezrachi Maurice E. Stucke
Shoppers with Internet access and a bargain-hunting impulse can find a universe of
products at their fingertips. In this thought-provoking expos, Ariel Ezrachi and Maurice
Stucke invite us to take a harder look at todays app-assisted paradise of digital shopping.
While consumers reap many benefits from online purchasing, the sophisticated algorithms
and data-crunching that make browsing so convenient are also changing the nature of
market competition, and not always for the better.
Computers colluding is one danger. Although longstanding laws prevent companies
from fixing prices, data-driven algorithms can now quickly monitor competitors prices
and adjust their own prices accordingly. So what is seemingly beneficialincreased price
transparencyironically can end up harming consumers. A second danger is behavioral
discrimination. Here, companies track and profile consumers to get them to buy goods at
the highest price they are willing to pay. The rise of super-platforms and their frenemy
relationship with independent app developers raises a third danger. By controlling key
platforms (such as the operating system of smart phones), data-driven monopolies dictate
the flow of personal data and determine who gets to exploit potential buyers.
Virtual Competition raises timely questions. To what extent does the invisible hand still
hold sway? In markets continually manipulated by bots and algorithms, is competitive
pricing an illusion? Can our current laws protect consumers? The changing market reality
is already shifting power into the hands of the few. Ezrachi and Stucke explore the resulting
risks to competition, our democratic ideals, and our economic and overall well-being.

Oxford. Maurice E. Stucke is Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee and cofounder of The Konkurrenz Group.

Chinas Crony Capitalism

The Dynamics of Regime Decay
Minxin Pei
When Deng Xiaoping launched China on the path to economic reform in the late 1970s,
he vowed to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. More than three decades
later, Chinas efforts to modernize have yielded something very different from the working
peoples paradise Deng envisioned: an incipient kleptocracy, characterized by endemic
corruption, soaring income inequality, and growing social tensions. Chinas Crony
Capitalism traces the origins of Chinas present-day troubles to the series of incomplete
reforms from the post-Tiananmen era that decentralized the control of public property
without clarifying its ownership.
Beginning in the 1990s, changes in the control and ownership rights of state-owned assets
allowed well-connected government officials and businessmen to amass huge fortunes
through the systematic looting of state-owned propertyin particular land, natural
resources, and assets in state-run enterprises. Mustering compelling evidence from over
two hundred corruption cases involving government and law enforcement officials, private
businessmen, and organized crime members, Minxin Pei shows how collusion among elites
has spawned an illicit market for power inside the party-state, in which bribes and official
appointments are surreptitiously but routinely traded. This system of crony capitalism has
created a legacy of criminality and entrenched privilege that will make any movement
toward democracy difficult and disorderly.
Rejecting conventional platitudes about the resilience of Chinese Communist Party rule, Pei
gathers unambiguous evidence that beneath Chinas facade of ever-expanding prosperity
and power lies a Leninist state in an advanced stage of decay.
Minxin Pei is Tom and Margot Pritzker 72 Professor of Government and Roberts
Fellow, and Director of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies, at
Claremont McKenna College. He is author of Chinas Trapped Transition: The Limits of

The First European
A History of Alexander in the Age of Empire

Pierre Briant
TRANSLATED BY Nicholas Elliott
With its vast erudition, and careful attention to minor as well as major figures from
Montesquieu to Droysen and beyond, Pierre Briants book is nothing less than a tour de
force, both as a contribution to the intellectual history of the Enlightenment in its global
dimensions, as well as to the complex dialogue between Moderns and Ancients.
Sanjay Subrahmanyam, University of California, Los Angeles
The exploits of Alexander the Great were so remarkable that for centuries after his death the
Macedonian ruler seemed a figure more of legend than of history. Thinkers of the European
Enlightenment, searching for ancient models to understand contemporary affairs, were the
first to critically interpret Alexanders achievements. As Pierre Briant shows, in the minds
of eighteenth-century intellectuals and philosophes, Alexander was the first European: a
successful creator of empire who opened the door to new sources of trade and scientific
knowledge, and an enlightened leader who brought the fruits of Western civilization to an
oppressed and backward Orient.
In France, Scotland, England, and Germany, Alexander the Great became an important
point of reference in discourses from philosophy and history to political economy and
geography. Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Robertson asked what lessons Alexanders
empire-building had to teach modern Europeans. They saw the ancient Macedonian as
the embodiment of the rational and benevolent Western ruler, a historical model to be
emulated as Western powers accelerated their colonial expansion into Asia, India, and the
Middle East.
For a Europe that had to contend with the formidable Ottoman Empire, Alexander provided
an important precedent as the conqueror who had brought great tyrants of the Orient to
heel. As The First European makes clear, in the minds of Europes leading thinkers, Alexander
was not an aggressive militarist but a civilizing force whose conquests revitalized Asian
lands that had lain stagnant for centuries under the lash of despotic rulers.
Pierre Briant is Emeritus Professor of History of the Achaemenid World and Alexanders
Empire at Collge de France and author of Darius in the Shadow of Alexander (Harvard).

The Letters of Robert Frost, Volume 2

19201928
EDITED BY Donald Sheehy Mark Richardson

Robert Bernard Hass Henry Atmore
Praise for the previous volume:

This edition is a triumph of scholarly care . . . For all his private flaws, his tragedies large
and small, American literatureand the language itselfowes a profound debt to that dark,
demonic, beguiling figure, Robert Frost.
William Logan, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
The Letters of Robert Frost, Volume 2: 19201928 is the second installment of Harvards fivevolume edition of the poets correspondence. Nearly three hundred letters in the critically
acclaimed first volume had never before been collected; here, close to four hundred are
gathered for the first time. Volume 2 includes letters to some 160 correspondents: family
and friends; colleagues, fellow writers, visual artists, editors, and publishers; educators of
all kinds; farmers, librarians, and admirers.
In the years covered here, publication of Selected Poems, New Hampshire, and WestRunning Brook enhanced Frosts stature in America and abroad, and the demands of
managing his careeras public speaker, poet, and teacherintensified. A good
portion of the correspondence is devoted to Frosts appointments at the University
of Michigan and Amherst College, through which he played a major part in staking
out the positions poets would later hold in American universities. Other letters show
Frost helping to shape the Bread Loaf School of English and its affiliated Writers
Conference. We encounter him discussing his craft with students and fostering
the careers of younger poets. His observations (and reservations) about educators
are illuminating and remain pertinent. And family lifewith all its joys and sorrows,
hardships and satisfactionsis never less than central to Frosts concerns.
Robert Frost was a masterful prose stylist, often brilliant and always engaging.
Thoroughly annotated and accompanied by a biographical glossary, chronology,
and detailed index, these letters are both the record of a remarkable literary life and
a unique contribution to American literature.

The Cold World They Made
The Strategic Legacy of Roberta and Albert Wohlstetter

Ron Robin
In the heady days of the Cold War, when the Bomb loomed large in the ruminations of
Washingtons wise men, policy intellectuals flocked to the home of Albert and Roberta
Wohlstetter to discuss deterrence and doomsday. The Cold World They Made takes a fresh
look at the original power couple of strategic studies. Seeking to unravel the complex
tapestry of the Wohlstetters world and worldview, Ron Robin reveals fascinating insights
into an unlikely husband-and-wife pair who, at the height of the most dangerous military
standoff in history, gained access to the deepest corridors of American power.
The author of such classic Cold War treatises as The Delicate Balance of Terror, Albert
Wohlstetter is remembered for advocating an aggressive brinksmanship that stood in
stark contrast with what he saw as weak and indecisive policies of Soviet containment. Yet
Alberts ideas built crucially on insights gleaned from his wife. Robin makes a strong case
for the Wohlstetters as a team of intellectual equals, showing how Robertas scholarship
was foundational to what became known as the Wohlstetter Doctrine. Together at RAND
Corporation, Albert and Roberta crafted a mesmerizing vision of the Soviet threat,
theorizing ways for the United States to emerge victorious in a thermonuclear exchange.
Far from dwindling into irrelevance after the Cold War, the torch of the Wohlstetters
intellectual legacy was kept alive by well-placed disciples in George W. Bushs administration.
Through their ideological heirs, the Wohlstetters signature combination of brilliance and
hubris continues to shape American policies.

Americas Dream Palace
Middle East Expertise and the Rise of the National Security State
Osamah F. Khalil
In T. E. Lawrences classic memoir Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence of Arabia claimed that
he inspired a dream palace of Arab nationalism. What he really inspired, however, was an
American idea of the area now called the Middle East that has shaped U.S. interventions
over the course of a century, with sometimes tragic consequences. Americas Dream
Palace brings into sharp focus the ways U.S. foreign policy has shaped the emergence of
expertise concerning this crucial, often turbulent and misunderstood part of the world.
Americas growing stature as a global power created a need for expert knowledge about
different regions. When it came to the Middle East, the U.S. government was initially content
to rely on Christian missionaries and Orientalist scholars. After World War II, however, as
Washingtons national security establishment required professional expertise in Middle
Eastern affairs, it began to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship with academic
institutions. Newly created programs at Harvard, Princeton, and other universities became
integral to Washingtons policymaking in the region. The National Defense Education Act of
1958, which aligned Americas educational goals with Cold War security concerns, proved
a boon for Middle Eastern studies.
But charges of anti-Americanism within the academy soon strained this cozy relationship.
Federal funding for area studies declined, while independent think tanks with ties to the
government flourished. By the time the Bush administration declared its Global War on
Terror, Osamah F. Khalil writes, think tanks that actively pursued agendas aligned with
neoconservative goals were the drivers of Americas foreign policy.

Red Ellen
The Life of Ellen Wilkinson, Socialist, Feminist, Internationalist

Laura Beers
In 1908 Ellen Wilkinson, a fiery adolescent from a working-class family in Manchester,
was the only girl who talks in school debates. By midcentury, Wilkinson had helped
found Britains Communist Party, earned a seat in Parliament, and become a renowned
advocate for the poor and dispossessed at home and abroad. She was one of the first
female delegates to the United Nations, and she played a central role in Britains postwar
Labour government. In Laura Beerss account of Wilkinsons remarkable life, we have a
richly detailed portrait of a time when Left-leaning British men and women from a range of
backgrounds sought to reshape domestic, imperial, and international affairs.
Wilkinson is best remembered as the leader of the Jarrow Crusade, the 300-mile march of

for assistance. But this was just one small part of Red Ellens larger transnational fight
for social justice. She was involved in a range of campaigns, from the quest for official
recognition of the Spanish Republican government, to the fight for Indian independence,
to the effort to smuggle Jewish refugees out of Germany.
During Wilkinsons lifetime, many British radicals viewed themselves as members of an
international socialist community, and some, like her, became involved in socialist,
feminist, and pacifist movements that spanned the globe. By focusing on the extent to
which Wilkinsons activism transcended Britains borders, Red Ellen adjusts our perception
of the British Left in the early twentieth century.

PARTNERS
Chinese Reformers,
Western Economists,
and the Making of
Global China
Unlikely Partners recounts the story of how Chinese politicians and intellectuals looked
beyond their countrys borders for economic guidance at a key crossroads in the nations
tumultuous twentieth century. Julian Gewirtz offers a dramatic tale of competition for
influence between reformers and hardline conservatives during the Deng Xiaoping era,
bringing to light Chinas productive exchanges with the West.
When Mao Zedong died in 1976, his successors seized the opportunity to reassess the
wisdom of Chinas rigid commitment to Marxist doctrine. With Deng Xiaopings blessing,
Chinas economic gurus scoured the globe for fresh ideas that would put China on the path
to domestic prosperity and ultimately global economic power. Leading foreign economists
accepted invitations to visit China to share their expertise, while Chinese delegations
traveled to the United States, Hungary, Great Britain, West Germany, Brazil, and other
countries to examine new ideas. Chinese economists partnered with an array of brilliant
thinkers, including Nobel Prize winners, World Bank officials, battle-scarred veterans of
Eastern Europes economic struggles, and blunt-speaking free-market fundamentalists.
Nevertheless, the push from Chinas senior leadership to
implement economic reforms did not go unchallenged, nor has
the Chinese government been eager to publicize its engagement
with Western-style innovations. Even today, Chinese Communists
decry dangerous Western influences and officially maintain that
Chinas economic reinvention was the Partys achievement alone.
Unlikely Partners sets forth the truer story, which has continuing
relevance for Chinas complex and far-reaching relationship with
the West.

Fixing Medical Prices

How Physicians Are Paid
Miriam J. Laugesen
Miriam Laugesen opens the black box of policy choices embedded in the nations health
financing system. Her thorough analysis of physician pricing exposes how seemingly
technical decisions on physician prices are actually highly politicalriddled with conflicts
of interest and largely immune from public accountability. Policymakers and the public owe
Laugesen a debt of gratitude for shining a light on fundamental policy flaws. We now have no
excuse for failing to correct them.
Judith Feder, Georgetown University
Medical care prices in the United States are not only the most expensive in the world, but
there are wide variations in what physicians are paid. Doctors at the frontlines of medical
care who manage complex conditions argue that they receive disproportionately lower
fees than physicians performing services such as minor surgeries and endoscopies. Fixing
Medical Prices goes to the heart of the U.S. medical pricing process: to a largely unknown
yet influential committee of medical organizations affiliated with the American Medical
Association that advises Medicare. Medicares ready acceptance of this committees
recommendations typically sets off a chain reaction across the entire American health care
system.
For decades, the U.S. policymaking structure for pricing has reflected the influence of
physician organizations. What Miriam Laugesens rich analysis shows is how these
organizations navigate the arcane and complex work of Medicares advisory committee.
Contradicting the story of a profession in political decline, Fixing Medical Prices
demonstrates that the power of physician organizations has simply become more subtle.
Laugesens investigation into the exorbitant cost of American medical care will be of
interest to those who follow the politics of health care policy, the influence of interest
groups on rate setting, and the medical professions past and future role in our health care
system.

Democracy in Iran
Practice for Life
Why It Failed and How It Might Succeed
Making Decisions in College
Misagh Parsa
Lee Cuba Nancy Jennings Suzanne Lovett

Joseph Swingle
Offering a new framework for understanding democratization in

developing countries governed by harshly authoritarian regimes,
Democracy in Iran is a penetrating, historically informed analysis of
Irans current and future prospects
for reform. Beginning with the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Misagh
Parsa traces the evolution of Irans
theocratic government, examining the challenges the Islamic
Republic has overcome as well
as those that remain: inequalities
in wealth and income, corruption
and cronyism, and a brain drain
of highly educated professionals
eager to escape Irans repressive
confines.
The political fortunes of Iranian
reformers seeking to address
these problems have been uneven.
Hopes rose after Khomeinis death, suffered setbacks under Ahmadinejad, and then surged again briefly during the Green Movement
in 2009. Although pro-democracy activists have made progress
by fits and starts, today they have little to show for their efforts in
terms of tangible reforms.
In Parsas view, the outlook for democracy in Iran is stark. Gradual
institutional reforms will not be sufficient for real change, nor can
the government be reformed without fundamentally rethinking its
commitment to the role of religion in politics and civic life. For Iran
to democratize, the options are narrowing to a single path: another
revolution.

College students spend four or more years making decisions that

shape every aspect of their academic and social lives. Whether
choosing a major or a roommate, some students embrace decision
making as an opportunity for growth, while others seek to avoid
risk. Practice for Life builds a compelling case that a liberal arts education offers students a complex, valuable process of self-creation,
one that begins in college but continues far beyond graduation.
Sifting data from a five-year study of over two hundred students
at seven New England liberal arts colleges, the authors found that
undergraduates do not experience college as having a clear beginning and end but as a continuous series of new beginnings. They
start and restart college many times, owing to the rhythms of the
academic calendar, the vagaries of student housing, and other factors. This dynamic has its drawbacks. Students, parents, and faculty
place enormous weight on some decisions, while overlooking the
small choices that significantly shape students daily experience.
For most undergraduates, deep engagement with their college
education is at best episodic. Yet these disruptions in engagement
provide students with opportunities for reflection and course-correction as they learn to navigate the future uncertainties of adult
life.

Nihilism and Negritude
Democracys Detectives
Clestin Monga
James T. Hamilton
TRANSLATED BY Madeleine Velguth
Investigative journalism holds democratic governments and private institutions accountable to the public. Its impact can be significantbut so too are the costs. As subscriptions and advertising revenues shrink, who is footing the bill for journalists to carry
out their essential work? Democracys Detectives puts investigative journalism under a magnifying glass to clarify the challenges
and opportunities facing news organizations today. Drawing on
thousands of investigations by U.S. journalists, James T. Hamilton
deploys economic theories of
markets and incentives to reach
conclusions about the types of
investigative stories that get prioritized and funded.
Ways of Living in Africa
There are two common ways of

writing about Africa, says Clestin
Monga. One way blames Africas ills
on the continents history of exploitation. The other way blames Africans themselves for failing to rise
above poisonous national prejudices and resentments. But patronizing caricatures that reduce Africans to either victims or slackers do
not get us very far in understanding
the paradoxes of Africa today.
A searching, searing meditation
on ways of living in modern Africa,
Nihilism and Negritude dispels the
stereotypes that cloud how outsiders view the continentand
how Africans sometimes view themselves. Whether navigating the
chaotic choreography of street traffic in his native Cameroon or
discoursing on the philosophy of caf menus, Monga illuminates
everyday behaviors and offers interpretations of what some observers have misunderstood as Africans resigned acceptance of suffering and violence. He does not wish to revive Negritude, the onceinfluential movement that celebrated allegedly unique African
values. Rather, he seeks to show how dance and music, sensual
pleasure and bodily experience, faith and mourning reflect a form
of nihilism developed not out of despair but out of a determination
to find meaning and even joy in a life that would otherwise seem
absurd.

Deepwater Horizon
A Systems Analysis of the Macondo Disaster

Earl Boebert James M. Blossom
FOREWORD BY Peter G. Neumann
Destined to be a classic case study. A great deal of safety analysis focuses on searches for the
root cause of accidents and disasters, but the Deepwater Horizon incident demonstrates that
the causality of some disasters has a fundamentally multifactor nature. This book should be
read by anyone concerned with safety of large complex systems.
Herb Lin, Stanford University
On April 20, 2010, the crew of the floating drill rig Deepwater Horizon lost control of the
Macondo oil well forty miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Escaping gas and oil ignited,
destroying the rig, killing eleven crew members, and injuring dozens more. The emergency
spiraled into the worst human-made economic and ecological disaster in Gulf Coast history.
Senior systems engineers Earl Boebert and James Blossom offer the most comprehensive
account to date of BPs Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Sifting through a mountain of evidence
generated by the largest civil trial in U.S. history, the authors challenge the commonly
accepted explanation that the crew, operating under pressure to cut costs, made mistakes
that were compounded by the failure of a key safety device. This explanation arose from
legal, political, and public relations maneuvering over the billions of dollars in damages
that were ultimately paid to compensate individuals and local businesses and repair the
environment. But as Deepwater Horizon makes clear, the blowout emerged from corporate
and engineering decisions which, while individually innocuous, combined to create the
disaster.
Rather than focusing on blame, Boebert and Blossom use the complex interactions
of technology, people, and procedures involved in the high-consequence enterprise
of offshore drilling to illustrate a systems approach which contributes to a better
understanding of how similar disasters emerge and how they can be prevented.
Earl Boebert is a retired Senior Scientist at the Sandia National Laboratories. James M.
Blossom gained his engineering experience at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the
General Electric Corporation.

Body Messages
The Quest for the Proteins of Cellular Communication
Giamila Fantuzzi
FOREWORD BY Hannah Landecker
Whether classified as regulators

of inflammation, metabolism, or
other physiological functions,
a distinctive set of molecules
enables the human body to convey information from one cell to
another. An in-depth primer on
the molecular mediators that
coordinate complex bodily processes, Body Messages provides
fresh insight into how biologists
first identified this special class of
molecules and the consequences
of their discovery for modern
medicine.
Focusing on proteins that regulate inflammation and metabolism
including the cytokines and adipokines at the core of her own
researchGiamila Fantuzzi examines the role body messages play
in the physiology of health as well as in the pathology of various
illnesses. Readers are introduced to different ways of conceptualizing biomedical research and to the advantages and pitfalls associated with identifying molecules beginning with function or structure. By bringing together areas of research usually studied separately, Fantuzzi stresses the importance of investigating the body
as a whole and affirms the futility of trying to separate basic from
clinical research. Drawing on firsthand interviews with researchers
who made major contributions to the field, Body Messages illustrates that the paths leading to scientific discovery are rarely direct,
nor are they always the only routes available.

Making Faces
Music as Biology
Adam S. Wilkins
Dale Purves
The Evolutionary Origins of the Human Face
Humans possess the most expressive faces in the animal kingdom.

Adam Wilkins presents evidence ranging from fossils to recent
findings of genetics and developmental biology to reconstruct the
fascinating story of how the human face evolved. Beginning with
the first vertebrate faces half a billion years ago and continuing
to dramatic changes among our
recent ancestors, Making Faces
illuminates how the unusual face
of our species came aboutboth
the set of facial features and the
critical role facial expression plays
in human society.
Wilkins draws on paleontology
and anthropology, but also on
comparative studies of living nonhuman species. He examines the
genetic foundations of the remarkable diversity in human faces and
shows that the evolution of facial
features was interconnected with
the evolution of the brain. Brain structures capable of reading and
reacting to facial expressions of individuals led to complex social
exchanges. Furthermore, the underlying neural and muscular
mechanisms that created those expressions allowed the development of speech. In demonstrating how the physical evolution of
the human face has been inextricably intertwined with our species
growing social complexity, Wilkins argues that the face has been
both the product of and the enabler of human sociality.

Pathways and editor of the Perspectives section of Genetics.

The Tones We Like and Why
Why do human beings worldwide

find some tone combinations
consonant and others dissonant?
Why do we make music using only
a small number of scales out of
the billions that are possible? Why
do differently organized scales
elicit different emotions? Why
are there so few notes in scales?
In Music as Biology, Dale Purves
argues that biology offers answers
to these and other questions on
which conventional music theory
is silent.
When people and animals vocalize, they generate tonal sounds
periodic pressure changes at the ear which, when combined, can
be heard as melodies and harmonies. Human beings have evolved
a sense of tonality because of the behavioraland evolutionary
advantages that arise from recognizing and attending to human
voices. Purves summarizes evidence that the intervals defining
Western and other scales are those with the greatest collective
similarity to the human voice; that major and minor scales are
heard as happy or sad because they mimic the subdued and
excited speech of these emotional states; and that the character
of a cultures speech influences the tonal palette of its traditional
music. Rethinking music theory in biological terms offers a new
approach to centuries-long debates about the organization and
impact of music.

Neurobiology Emeritus and presently Research Professor in the

how historical views of policymakers and scientists have led to the
construction of science as a pure
ideal on the one hand and of engineering as a practical (and inherently less prestigious) activity on
the other. Even today, this erroneous but still widespread distinction forces these two endeavors into separate silos, misdirects billions of dollars, and thwarts progress in science and engineering
research.
By studying key contemporary research institutions, the authors
highlight the importance of integrated research practices, contrasting these with models of research in the classic but stillinfluential report Science the Endless Frontier.

The Taming of Free Speech

Americas Civil Liberties Compromise
Laura Weinrib
A major work of history which will remain for many years the authoritative account of the
ACLUs pivotal role in producing our modern law of free expression.
Robert Gordon, Stanford Law School
In the early decades of the twentieth century, business leaders condemned civil liberties
as masks for subversive activity, while labor sympathizers denounced the courts as shills
for industrial interests. But by the Second World War, prominent figures in both camps
celebrated the judiciary for protecting freedom of speech. Laura Weinrib illustrates how a
surprising coalition of lawyers and activists made judicial enforcement of the Bill of Rights
a defining feature of American democracy.
The Taming of Free Speech traces our prevailing understanding of civil liberties to conflict
between 1910 and 1940 over workers right to strike. Over time, labor radicals within
the American Civil Liberties Union subdued their radical rhetoric to attract adherents
and prevail in court. During the New Deal, many liberals opposed the ACLUs litigation
strategy, fearing it would legitimize a judiciary too friendly to corporations and too hostile
to the administrative state. Conversely, conservatives eager to insulate industry from
government regulation pivoted to embrace the Bill of Rights. The resulting transformation
in constitutional jurisprudenceoften understood as a triumph for the Leftwas in fact a
calculated bargain. Americas civil liberties compromise saved the courts from New Deal
attack and secured free speech for labor radicals and businesses alike.

A Book of Conquest
Democracys Slaves
The Chachnama and Muslim Origins in South Asia
A Political History of Ancient Greece
Manan Ahmed Asif
Paulin Ismard
TRANSLATED BY Jane Marie Todd
The question of how Islam arrived

in India remains markedly contentious in South Asian politics.
In the standard accounts, the
Umayyad Caliphates incursions
into Sind and littoral western India
in the eighth century CE sowed
the seeds of a mutual animosity
between Muslims and Hindus that
presaged the subcontinents partition into Pakistan and India many
centuries later.
But in a compelling reexamination
of this history, Manan Ahmed Asif
directs attention to a thirteenthcentury text that tells the story of Chach, the Brahmin ruler of Sind,
and his kingdoms later conquest by the Muslim general Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 CE. Asifs close and complete analysis of this
important text untangles its various registers and genres in order
to reconstruct the political vision at its heart. It debunks the notion
that the Chachnama is a translation of an earlier Arabic text and
that it presents a history of conquest. Asif demonstrates rather that
the text is a subtle and sophisticated work of political theory, one
embedded in both the Indic and Islamic ethos. This social and intellectual history of the Chachnama is an important corrective to the
divisions between Muslim and Hindu that so often define Pakistani
and Indian politics today.

The ancient Greek statesman is
a familiar figure in the Western
political tradition. Less well known
is the administrator who ran the
state but was himself a slave.
Challenging the modern belief
that democracy and bondage are
incompatible, Paulin Ismard directs
our attention to Athens, where the
functioning of civic government
depended on skilled experts who
were literally public servants
slaves owned by the city-state
rather than by private citizens.
Known as demosioi, these public slaves filled important roles
in Athenian society, as court clerks, archivists, administrators,
accountants, and policemen. Many possessed knowledge and
skills beyond that of average citizens, and they enjoyed property
rights that were denied to private slaves. Demosioi were Western
civilizations first civil servantsthough they carried out their duties
in a condition of bound servitude. While this managerial caste
freed citizens from the everyday responsibilities of running the
state, its members were unable to participate in the democratic
process because they lacked citizenship. By rendering the states
administrators politically invisible, Athens warded off the specter
of a government capable of turning against the citizens will. In a
real sense, Athenian citizens put the success of their democratic
experiment in the hands of slaves.

Insanity and Sanctity in

Byzantium
The Ambiguity of Religious Experience
Youval Rotman
In the Roman and Byzantine Near
East, the holy fool emerged in
Christianity as a way of describing
individuals whose apparent madness allowed them to achieve a
higher level of spirituality. Insanity and Sanctity in Byzantium
examines how the figure of the
mad saint or mystic was used as
a means of individual and collective transformation in the period
between the birth of Christianity
and the rise of Islam. It presents
a novel interpretation in revealing
the central role of psychology in
social and historical development.
Early Christians looked to figures who embodied extremes of
behaviorthe holy fool, the ascetic, the martyrto redefine their
social, cultural, and mental settings by reading new values in
abnormal behavior. By creating a sphere of ambiguity in the ambit
of religious experience, the sanctification of such extreme figures
brought about a deep psychological shift, necessary for the transition from Paganism to Christianity.
A developing society leaves porous the border between what is
normal and abnormal, between sanity and insanity, in order to use
this ambiguity as a means of change. Youval Rotman emphasizes
the role of religion in maintaining this ambiguity to effect a social
and psychological transformation.

Preparing for War
The Emergence of the Modern U.S. Army, 18151917

J. P. Clark
Since its establishment, the
United States Army has regarded
preparing for war as its proper
mission in peacetime. But how
it fulfilled that duty has changed
dramatically over time. J. P. Clark
traces the evolution of the Army
between the War of 1812 and
World War I, showing how differing personal experiences of war
and peace among successive
generations of professional soldiers left their mark on the Army
and its ways.
Early in the nations history, most
officers believed that generalship and battlefield command were
more a matter of innate ability than anything institutions could
teach. They saw no benefit in conceptual preparation beyond mastering technical skills like engineering and gunnery taught at West
Point. By the time the United States entered World War I, however,
Progressive Era concepts of professionalism and organization had
infiltrated the Army, giving rise to a system of military schools, realistic field training, and prescriptive tactical doctrine. Preparing for
War concludes by demonstrating how these new notions set the
conditions for many of the successesand some of the failuresof
General Pershings American Expeditionary Forces in World War I.
A former member of the history faculty at West Point, J. P. Clark is
an active duty army officer who has served as a strategic advisor
to senior civilian and military officials in the Pentagon and British
Ministry of Defence.
Vanishing America
Species Extinction, Racial Peril, and the Origins of Conservation

Miles A. Powell
Putting a provocative new slant on the history of U.S. conservation, Vanishing America
reveals how wilderness preservation efforts became entangled with racial anxieties
specifically the fear that forces of modern civilization, unless checked, would sap white
Americas vigor and stamina.
Nineteenth-century citizens of European descent widely believed that Native Americans
would eventually vanish from the continent. Indian society was thought to be tied to the
wilderness, and the manifest destiny of U.S. westward expansion, coupled with industrys
ever-growing hunger for natural resources, presaged the disappearance of Indian peoples.
Yet, as the frontier drew to a close, some naturalists chronicling the loss of animal and plant
populations began to worry that white Americans might soon share the Indians presumed
fate.
Miles Powell explores how early conservationists such as George Perkins Marsh, William
Temple Hornaday, and Aldo Leopold became convinced that the continued vitality of
Americas Nordic and Anglo-Saxon races depended on preserving the wilderness.
Fears over the destiny of white Americans drove some conservationists to embrace
scientific racism, eugenics, and restrictive immigration laws. Although these activists laid
the groundwork for the modern environmental movement and its many successes, the
consequences of their racial anxieties persist.

The Nazi-Fascist New Order

for European Culture
Benjamin G. Martin
Following Frances crushing defeat in June 1940, the Nazis moved
forward with plans to reorganize a European continent now largely
under Hitlers heel. Some among the Nazi elite argued that permanent German hegemony required
a pan-European cultural empire to
crown Hitlers wartime conquests.
Bringing into focus a neglected
aspect of Axis geopolitics, Benjamin G. Martin charts the rise and
fall of Nazi-fascist soft power in
the form of a nationalist and antiSemitic new ordering of European
culture.
In cooperation and competition
with Italys fascists, Nazis courted
filmmakers, writers, and composers from across the continent.
New institutions such as the
International Film Chamber, the
European Writers Union, and the Permanent Council of composers
forged a continental bloc opposed to the degenerate cosmopolitan modernism that held sway in the arts. In its place Axis leaders
envisioned a Europe of nations, one that exalted traditionalism,
anti-Semitism, and the Volk. Such a vision held powerful appeal
for conservative intellectuals who saw a European civilization in
decline, threatened by American commercialism and Soviet Bolshevism. Taking readers to film screenings, concerts, and banquets,
Martin follows the Nazi-fascist project to its disastrous conclusion,
examining the internal contradictions and sectarian rivalries that
doomed it to failure.

As the spread of Western empires in the nineteenth century turned

prized commodities. Tigers from

Yet as tropical animals became increasingly familiar to the American
public, they became ever more rare in the wild. Over time, as the
zoos mission shifted from offering entertainment to providing
a refuge for endangered species, conservation parks replaced

Success and Suppression
Arabic Sciences and Philosophy in the Renaissance

Dag Nikolaus Hasse
Brahmin Capitalism
Frontiers of Wealth and Populism in

Americas First Gilded Age
Noam Maggor
The Renaissance marked a turning
point in Europes relationship to
Arabic thought. On the one hand,
it was the period in which Arabic
scientific traditions reached the
peak of their influence in Europe.
On the other hand, it is the time
when the West began to forget,
and even actively suppress, its
debt to Arabic culture. Success
and Suppression traces the
complex story of Arabic influence
on Renaissance thought.
Dag Nikolaus Hasse shows that

Renaissance polemics against
Arabic influence emerged not because scholars of the time
rejected that intellectual tradition altogether but because a small
group of anti-Arab hard-liners strove to suppress its powerful
and persuasive influence. The period witnessed a boom in new
translations of Arabic authors, and European philosophers and
scientists incorporatedand often celebratedArabic thought
in their work, especially in medicine, philosophy, and astrology.
But the famous Arabic authorities were a prominent obstacle to
the Renaissance project of renewing European academic culture
through Greece and Rome, and radical reformers accused Arabic
science of linguistic corruption, plagiarism, or irreligion. Hasse
shows how a mixture of ideological and scientific motives led to the
decline of Arabic traditions in important areas of European culture,
while others continued to flourish.

States.
Brahmin
Capitalism
reveals the decisive role of established wealth in the transformation of the American economy in
the decades after the Civil War,
leading the way to corporate capitalism in the twentieth century.
Maggors provocative history of
the Gilded Age explores how the
moneyed elite in Bostonthe
quintessential East Coast establishmentleveraged their wealth to
forge transcontinental networks of commodities, labor, and transportation. With the decline of cotton-based textile manufacturing
and the abolition of slavery, these gentleman bankers traveled far
and wide in search of new business opportunities and found them in
the mines, railroads, and industries of the Great West. Their investments spawned new political and social conflict. In urban and rural
contests that had lasting implications for wealth, government, and
inequality, financial power collided with more democratic visions
of economic progress.
Rather than being driven inexorably by technologies like the railroad and telegraph, the new capitalist geography was a grand and
highly contentious undertaking, Maggor shows, one that proved
pivotal for the rise of the United States as the worlds leading industrial nation.

Elusive Refuge
Chinese Migrants in the Cold War

Probing the Ethics of

Holocaust Culture
EDITED BY
Elusive Refuge recovers the lost

history of millions of Chinese who
fled the 1949 Communist Revolution, and recounts the humanitarian efforts to find new homes for
refugees displaced by civil strife.
Laura Madokoro points out a constellation of factorsentrenched
bigotry in predominantly white
European countries, the spread
of human rights, and Cold War
geopoliticswhich coalesced to
shape domestic and international
refugee policies that still hold
sway.
Although the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and
South Africa were home to sizeable Asian communities, Chinese
migrants were a perpetual target of legislation designed to exclude
them. Government officials and the broader public questioned
whether Chinese refugees were true victims of persecution or
opportunistic economic migrants. Humanitarian NGOs such as
the Lutheran World Federation and the World Council of Churches
publicized the quandary of vast numbers of Chinese stranded in
Hong Kong awaiting asylum and achieved some key victories
in convincing Western governments to admit Chinese refugees.
Anticommunist sentiment also played a role in easing restrictions.
But only the plight of Southeast Asians fleeing the Vietnam War
finally convinced the United States and other countries to adopt
a policy of granting permanent residence to significant numbers
refugees from Asia.

The Roots of Urban Renaissance

Gentrification and the Struggle over Harlem
Brian D. Goldstein
The Scriptural Universe of

Ancient Christianity
Guy G. Stroumsa
Displaying gleaming new shopping centers and refurbished

row houses, Harlem today little
resembles the neighborhood of
the midcentury urban crisis. Brian
Goldstein traces its widely noted
Second Renaissance to a surprising source: the radical 1960s
social movements that fought to
give Harlemites control of their
own destiny.
In the postWorld War II era, officials looked to large-scale urban
renewal to economically and
physically transform urban neighborhoods. But in the 1960s, young Harlem activists demanded
the right to plan their own redevelopment and founded new community-based organizations to achieve that goal. In the following
decades, those organizations became the crucibles in which Harlemites debated what their streets should look like and who should
inhabit them. Radical activists envisioned a Harlem built by and for
its low-income, African-American population.
In the succeeding decades, however, community-based organizations came to pursue a very different goal: a neighborhood with
national retailers and affluent residents. In charting the history that
transformed Harlem by the twenty-first century, The Roots of Urban
Renaissance demonstrates that gentrification was not imposed on
an unwitting community by unscrupulous developers or opportunistic outsiders. Rather, it grew from the neighborhoods grassroots,
producing a legacy that benefited some longtime residents and
threatened others.

The passage of texts from scroll to codex created a revolution in

the religious life of late antiquity. It played a decisive role in the
Roman Empires conversion to Christianity and eventually enabled
the worldwide spread of Christian faith. The Scriptural Universe of
Ancient Christianity describes how canonical scripture was established and how scriptural interpretation replaced blood sacrifice as
the central element of religious ritual. Perhaps more than any other
cause, Guy G. Stroumsa argues, the codex converted the Roman
Empire from paganism to Christianity.
The codex permitted a mode
of religious transmission across
vast geographical areas, as
sacred texts and commentaries
circulated in book translations
within and beyond Roman borders. Although sacred books had
existed in ancient societies, they
were now invested with a new role
at the core of religious ceremony.
Once the holy book became
central to religious experience,
the floodgates were opened for
Greek and Latin texts to be repurposed as proto-Christian. Most
early Christian theologians were
content to selectively adopt the texts and traditions they deemed
valuable and compatible with the new faith, such as Platonism. The
new cultura christiana emerging in late antiquity would eventually
become the backbone of European identity.

Bankrupts and Usurers of

Imperial Russia
Debt, Property, and the Law in the Age of
Dostoevsky and Tolstoy
Sergei Antonov
As readers of Russian literature
know, the nineteenth century was
a time of pervasive financial anxiety. With incomes erratic and banks
inadequate, Russians of all social
castes were deeply enmeshed in
networks of credit and debt. The
necessity of borrowing and lending shaped perceptions of material
and moral worth, as well as notions
of social respectability and responsibility. Sergei Antonov recreates
this vanished world of borrowers,
bankrupts, lenders, and loan sharks
in imperial Russia from the reign of
Nicholas I to the great social and political reforms of the 1860s.
Gleaning insights into the experiences of ordinary Russians, rich
and poor, Antonov shows how Russias informal credit system
helped cement connections among property owners across
socioeconomic lines. Without a firm legal basis for formalizing
debt relationships, obtaining a loan often hinged on subjective
perceptions of trustworthiness and reputation. Even after jointstock banks appeared in Russia in the 1860s, credit continued to
operate through vast networks linked by word of mouth. Disputes
were common, and Bankrupts and Usurers of Imperial Russia offers
close readings of legal cases to argue that Russian courtsusually
thought to be underdeveloped in this eraprovided an effective
forum for defining and protecting private property interests.

The British Empire and the Origins of International Law,

Lauren Benton Lisa Ford

Rage for Order finds the origins
of international law in empires
especially in the British Empires
sprawling efforts to refashion the
imperial constitution and to reorder the world in the early nineteenth century.
Lauren Benton and Lisa Ford
uncover the lost history of Britains global empire of law in colonial conflicts rather than legal
treatises. Tracing constitutional
politics around the world, they
show that attempts to refashion
the British imperial constitution
touched on all the controversial issues of the day, from slavery to
revolution. Colonial officials acted alongside indigenous peoples,
settlers, sailors, convicts, and slaves to shape legal change in the
British Empire. Reform in turbulent colonies targeted petty despots
and augmented the power of the Crown to intervene in the administration of justice. Campaigns to police piracy and slave trading
linked British interests to the stability of politically fragmented
regions. Through it all, legal reform focused on promoting order,
not rights. Rage for Order maps a formative phase in world history
when imperial law anchored visions of global order. This sweeping story changes the way we think about the legacy of the British
Empire and international law today.

Mere Civility
Disagreement and the Limits of Toleration

Teresa M. Bejan
Today, politicians and intellectuals warn that we face a crisis of civility and a veritable
war of words polluting our public sphere. In liberal democracies committed to tolerating
diversity as well as active, often heated disagreement, the loss of this conversational virtue
appears critical. But is civility really a virtue? Or is it, as critics claim, a covert demand for
conformity that silences dissent?
Mere Civility sheds light on our predicament and the impasse between civilitarians and
their opponents by examining early modern debates about religious toleration. As concerns
about uncivil disagreement achieved new prominence after the Reformation, seventeenthcentury figures as different as Roger Williams, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke could
agree that some restraint on the war of words would be necessary. But they recognized
that the prosecution of incivility was often difficult to distinguish from persecution. In their
efforts to reconcile diversity with disagreement, they developed competing conceptions
of civility as the social bond of tolerant societies that still resonate.
Most modern appeals to civility follow either Hobbes or Locke by proposing to suppress
disagreement or exclude persons and positions deemed uncivil for the sake of social
concord. Compared with his contemporaries more robust ideals, Williamss unabashedly
mere civilitya minimal, occasionally contemptuous adherence to culturally contingent
rules of respectful behavioris easily overlooked. Yet Teresa Bejan argues that Williams
offers a promising path forward in confronting our own crisis of civility, one that
fundamentally challenges our assumptions about what a tolerantand civilsociety
should look like.

Thinking with Kants

Critique of Judgment
Michel Chaouli
Should become a standard companion to first-time and second-time
readings of Kants third Critique.
Paul North, Yale University
Why read Kants Critique of Judgment today? Does this classic still
possess the vitality to prompt
those engaged with art and criticism to think more deeply about
issues that move us, issues such
as the force of aesthetic experience, the essence of art, and the
relationship of beauty and meaning? It does, if we find the right
way into it.
Michel Chaouli shows us one such
way. He unwraps the gray packing
paper of Kants prose to reveal the
fresh and fierce ideas that dwell in
this masterpiecenot just the philosophers theory of beauty but
also his ruminations on organisms and life. Each chapter unfolds
the complexity of a key concept, to disclose its role in Kants
thought and its significance for our own thinking.
Chaouli invites novice and expert alike to set out on the path of
thinking with the Critique of Judgment. The rewards are handsome:
we see just how profoundly Kants book can shape our own ideas
about aesthetic experience and meaning. As we learn to surpass
the horizon of his thought, we find ourselves pushed to the very
edge of what can be grasped firmly. That is where Kants book is at
its most thrilling.

Sources of Knowledge
On the Concept of a Rational Capacity for Knowledge
Andrea Kern
TRANSLATED BY Daniel Smyth
How can human beings, who

are liable to error, possess
knowledge? The skeptic finds this
question impossible to answer.
If we can err, then it seems the
grounds on which we believe do
not rule out that we are wrong.
Most
epistemologists
agree
with the skeptic that we never
believe on grounds that exclude
error. Sources of Knowledge
moves beyond this predicament
by demonstrating that some
major problems of contemporary
philosophy have their roots in
the lack of a category that is
fundamental to our self-understanding: the category of a rational
capacity for knowledge.
Andrea Kern argues that we can disarm skeptical doubt by
conceiving knowledge as an act of a rational capacity. This enables
us to appreciate our fallibility without falling into skepticism. In
this way, Sources of Knowledge seeks to understand knowledge
from within our self-understanding as knowers. It develops
a metaphysics of the mind as existing through knowledge of
itself, which knowledge bears the form of a capacity. Regaining
the concept of a rational capacity for knowledge, Kern makes a
powerful and original contribution to philosophy that reinvigorates
the tradition of Aristotle and Kantthinkers whose relevance for
contemporary epistemology has yet to be fully appreciated.

Theory of the Novel

Guido Mazzoni
TRANSLATED BY Zakiya Hanafi
"One of the most profound and far-reaching reflections on the novel since the influential
works of Georg Lukcs and Frederic Jameson. Blending a persuasive theory of fiction with
an innovative history of the genre, Mazzoni proposes convincing answers to virtually all
questions raised by these topics. Incredibly learned and reader-friendly, this book is a true
classic."
Thomas Pavel, University of Chicago
The novel represents the totality of life. It is the flagship that literature sends out against the
systematic thought of science and philosophy. Indebted to Lukcs and Bakhtin, to Auerbach
and Ian Watt, Theory of the Novel breaks new ground, building a historical understanding
of how the novel became the modern book of life: one of the best representations of our
experience of the world.
The genre arose during a metamorphosis of narrative forms between 1550 and 1800.
By the nineteenth century it encompassed texts distinguished by their freedom from
traditional formal boundaries and by the particularity of their narratives. Guido Mazzoni
explains that modern novels consist of stories told in any way whatsoever, about ordinary
men and women who existlike usas contingent beings within time and space. These
works present an interpretation, not a mimetic copy, of the world. Novels allow readers to
step into other lives and other versions of truth. As Theory of the Novel makes clear, this
art form narrates an epoch and a society in which individual experiences do not converge
but proliferate, in which the common world has fragmented into a plurality of small, local
worlds, each absolute in its particularity.

Race and the

Totalitarian Century
Geopolitics in the Black Literary Imagination
Vaughn Rasberry
Few concepts evoke the twentieth
centurys record of war, genocide,
repression, and extremism more
powerfully than the idea of totalitarianism. Today, the subject is
usually confined to discussions of
Europes collapse in World War II
or to comparisons between the
Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
Vaughn Rasberry parts ways with
both proponents and detractors
of these normative conceptions in
order to tell the strikingly different
story of how black American writers manipulated the geopolitical
rhetoric of their time.
During and after World War II, the U.S. government conscripted
African Americans into the fight against Nazism and Stalinism. An
array of black writers, however, deflected the appeals of liberalism
and its anti-totalitarian propaganda in the service of decolonization.
Richard Wright, W. E. B. Du Bois, Shirley Graham, C. L. R. James,
John A. Williams, and others remained skeptical that totalitarian
servitude and democratic liberty stood in stark opposition. Their
skepticism allowed them to reimagine the anti-fascist, anticommunist narrative through the lens of racial injustice, with the
United States as a tyrannical force in the Third World but also an
agent of Asian and African independence. Rasberrys birds-eye
view of black culture and politics offers an alternative history of the
totalitarian century.

Wisdom Won from Illness

Essays in Philosophy and Psychoanalysis
Jonathan Lear
Wisdom Won from Illness brings
into conversation two fields of
inquirypsychoanalysis and moral
philosophywhich, together, form
a basis for ethical thought about
how to live. Jonathan Lear begins
by looking to Greek philosophers
for insight. Socrates said the
psyche should be ruled by reason, and much philosophy as well
as psychology hangs on what
he meant. For Aristotle, reason
organized and presided over the
harmonious soul; a wise person is
someone capable of a full, happy,
and healthy existence. Freud,
plumbing the depths of unconscious desires and pre-linguistic
thoughts, revealed just how unharmonious the psyche could be.
Attuned to the stresses of modern existence, he investigated the
myriad ways people fall ill and fail to thrive. Yet he inherited from
Plato and Aristotle a key insight: that the irrational part of the soul
is not simply opposed to reason. It is a different manner of thinking: a creative intelligence that distorts what it seeks to understand.
Can reason absorb the psyches nonrational elements into a whole
conception of the fully realized human being? Without a good
answer to that question, Lear says, philosophy is cut from its moorings in human life.

Law
Impact
How Law Affects Behavior

Lawrence M. Friedman
Laws and regulations are ubiquitous, touching on many aspects of individual and corporate
behavior. But under what conditions are laws and rules actually effective? A huge amount
of recent work in political science, sociology, economics, criminology, law, and psychology,
among other disciplines, deals with this question. But these fields rarely inform one another,
leaving the state of research disjointed and disorganized. Lawrence M. Friedman finds
order in this cacophony. Impact gathers recent findings into one overarching analysis and
lays the groundwork for a cohesive body of work in what Friedman labels impact studies.
The first important factor that has a bearing on impact is communication. A rule or law has
no effect if it never reaches its intended audience. The publics fund of legal knowledge,
the clarity of the law, and the presence of information brokers all influence the flow of
information from lawmakers to citizens. After a law is communicated, subjects sometimes
comply, sometimes resist, and sometimes adjust or evade. Three clusters of motives help
shape which reaction will prevail: first, rewards and punishments; second, peer group
influences; and third, issues of conscience, legitimacy, and morality. When all of these
factors move in the same direction, law can have a powerful impact; when they conflict,
the outcome is sometimes unpredictable.

Religious Freedom in an
Egalitarian Age
Nelson Tebbe
Tensions between religious freedom and equality law are newly
strained in America. As lawmakers work to protect LGBT citizens
and women seeking reproductive
freedom, religious traditionalists assert their right to dissent
from what they see as a new liberal orthodoxy. Some religious
advocates are going further and
expressing skepticism that egalitarianism can be defended with
reasons at all. Legal experts have
not offered a satisfying response
until now.
Nelson Tebbe argues that these disputes, which are admittedly
complex, nevertheless can be resolved without irrationality or arbitrariness. In Religious Freedom in an Egalitarian Age, he advances
a method called social coherence, based on the way that people
reason through moral problems in everyday life. Social coherence
provides a way to reach justified conclusions, even in situations
that pit multiple values against each other. Tebbe shows how a set
of powerful principles for mediating between religion and equality
law can lead to workable solutions in areas ranging from employment discrimination and public accommodations to government
officials and public funding. While social coherence does not guarantee outcomes that will please the liberal Left, it does point the
way toward reasoned solutions to the current impasse.

Misreading Law, Misreading

Democracy
Victoria Nourse
Interpreting statutes is a basic
task for lawyers, and yet American law schools fail to teach how
Congress makes law. Misreading
Law, Misreading Democracy turns
a spotlight on lawyers and judges
pervasive ignorance about how
laws are made in Congress, and
seeks to redress this serious
shortcoming through a robust
new methodology of statutory
interpretation called legislative
decision analysis. By reverseengineering the legislative process and banishing the idea of
legislative intent, this method
should revolutionize the way we think of legislative history and the
search for statutory meaning.
Countering the academic view that the legislative process is irrational and unseemly, Victoria Nourse makes a forceful argument that
lawyers must be educated on the basic procedures that define how
Congress operates today. Lawmaking is a sequential process with
political winners and losers. If lawyers and judges do not understand this, they may well embrace the meanings of those who
opposed legislation rather than those who supported it, making
legislative losers into judicial winners, and standing democracy on
its head.

A New Deal for Chinas

Workers?
Cynthia Estlund
Chinas labor landscape is changing, and the global economy is
changing in its wake. Once-silent
workers have found their voice,
organizing momentous protests,
such as the 2010 Honda strikes,
and demanding a better deal
at work. Chinas leaders have
responded with reforms as well
as repression. Are Chinas workers
on the cusp of their own New Deal
moment?
In A New Deal for Chinas Workers? Cynthia Estlund views this
landscape through the lens of
American experience with industrial unrest. Chinas leaders aspire
to the prosperity, political legitimacy, and stability that flowed from
Americas New Deal, but they are irrevocably opposed to the independent trade unions and mass mobilization that brought it about.
Indeed, the specter of an independent labor movement both drives
and constrains every facet of the regimes response to restless
workers.
Chinas effort to contain worker activism displays a surprising
mix of repression and concession, confrontation and cooptation,
flaws and functionality, rigidity and pragmatism. If Chinas laborers achieve a New Deal, it will be a New Deal with Chinese characteristics, very unlike what workers in the West achieved in the last
century. Estlunds crisp comparative analysis makes Chinas labor
unrest and reform legible to Western readers.

Writing for Hire
Unions, Hollywood, and Madison Avenue
Catherine L. Fisk
Required to sign away their legal
rights as authors as a condition
of employment, professional writers may earn a tidy living for their
work, but they seldom own their
writing. Writing for Hire traces
the history of labor relations that
defined authorship in film, TV, and
advertising in the mid-twentieth
century. Catherine L. Fisk examines why strikingly different norms
of attribution emerged in these
overlapping industries.
In the 1930s, the practice of
employing teams of writers to create copyrighted works became widespread in film studios, radio
networks, and ad agencies. Yet Hollywood and Madison Avenue
diverged in a crucial way in the 1930s, when screenwriters formed
the Writers Guild to represent them. Its members believed they
shared the same status as literary authors and fought to have their
names attached to their work. The binding legal norms they gained,
relating to ownership and public recognition, carried over into TV
production. In advertising, by contrast, no formal norms of public
attribution developed. Although some ad writers chafed at their
anonymity, their nonunion workplace provided no framework to
channel their demands. Instead, many rationalized their invisibility
as creative workers by embracing a self-conception as well-compensated professionals devoted to the interests of clients.

Laws Abnegation
From Laws Empire to the Administrative State
Adrian Vermeule
Antitrust Law in the New

Economy
Google, Yelp, LIBOR, and the Control of Information
Ronald Dworkin once imagined

law as an empire and judges as its
princes. But over time, the arc of
law has bent steadily toward deference to the administrative state.
Adrian Vermeule argues that law
has freely abandoned its imperial
pretensions, and has done so for
internal legal reasons.
In area after area, judges and lawyers, working out the logical implications of legal principles, have
come to believe that administrators should be granted broad leeway to set policy, determine facts,
interpret ambiguous statutes, and
even define the boundaries of their own jurisdiction. Agencies have
greater democratic legitimacy and technical competence to confront many issues than lawyers and judges do. And as the questions
confronting the state involving climate change, terrorism, and biotechnology (to name a few) have become ever more complex, legal
logic increasingly indicates that abnegation is the wisest course
of action.
As Laws Abnegation makes clear, the state did not shove law out
of the way. The judiciary voluntarily relegated itself to the margins
of power. The last and greatest triumph of legalism was to depose
itself.
Adrian Vermeule is John H. Watson Professor of Law at Harvard

Markets run on information. Buyers
make decisions by relying on
their knowledge of the products
available, and sellers decide
what to produce based on their
understanding about what buyers
want. But as consumers turn to
intermediaries for information
companies like Yelp and Googlea
wide range of problems arise
around one aspect of information
in the marketplace: its quality. As
Antitrust Law in the New Economy
shows, sellers now have the
ability and motivation to distort
the truth about their products when they make data available to
intermediaries. And intermediaries have their own incentives to
skew the facts they provide to buyers, both to benefit advertisers
and to gain advantages over their competition.
Consumer protection law is poorly suited for these problems in
the information economy, Mark Patterson argues. Antitrust law,
designed to regulate powerful firms and prevent collusion, is a
better choice. But the current application of antitrust law pays
little attention to information quality. Patterson discusses a range
of ways data can be manipulated for competitive advantage and
the exploitation of consumers, and considers novel issues such
as sellers use of consumers personal information in direct selling.
He shows how courts can apply antitrust law to address these
problems.

Early Greek Philosophy

Volumes IIX
EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY
Andr Laks Glenn W. Most
The fragments and testimonia of the early Greek philosophers

(often labeled the Presocratics) have always been not only
a fundamental source for understanding archaic Greek
culture and ancient philosophy but also a perennially
fresh resource that has stimulated Western thought until
the present day. This new systematic conception and presentation of the
evidence differs in three ways from Hermann Dielss groundbreaking work, as
well as from later editions: it renders explicit the materials thematic organization; it
includes a selection from such related bodies of evidence as archaic poetry, classical drama, and
the Hippocratic corpus; and it presents an overview of the reception of these thinkers until the end
of antiquity.
Volume I contains introductory and reference materials essential for using all other parts of the
edition. Volumes IIIII include chapters on ancient doxography, background, and the Ionians from
Pherecydes to Heraclitus. Volumes IVV present western Greek thinkers from the Pythagoreans to
Hippo. Volumes VIVII comprise later philosophical systems and their aftermath in the fifth and early
fourth centuries. Volumes VIIIIX present fifth-century reflections on language, rhetoric, ethics, and
politics (the so-called sophists and Socrates) and conclude with an appendix on philosophy and
philosophers in Greek drama.

The Killing of Shishupala

Paul Dundas
Wheeler M. Thackston
Akbarnma, or The History of Akbar, by Abul-Fazl (d. 1602), is one of

the most important works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone
of prose artistry. Marking a high
point in a long, rich tradition of
Persian historical writing, it served
as a model for historians across
the Persianate world. The work is
at once a biography of the Mughal
emperor Akbar (r. 15561605) that
includes descriptions of his political and martial feats and cultural
achievements, and a chronicle of
sixteenth-century India. The third
volume details the first eight years
of Akbars reign, when he consolidated his power, quelled the
rebellion of his guardian Bayram
Khan, conquered Malwa, and married a Rajput princess. The Persian text, presented in the Naskh
script, is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.
Wheeler M. Thackston is retired Professor of the Practice in
Persian and Other Near Eastern Languages at Harvard University.

Maghas The Killing of Shishupala, written in the seventh century, is

a celebrated example of the Sanskrit genre known as mahkvya,
or great poem. This adaptation from the epic Mahbhrata tells the
story of Shishupala, who disrupts
Yudhishthiras coronation by refusing to honor Krishna, the kings
principal ally and a manifestation
of divinity. When Shishupala challenges Krishna to combat, he is
immediately beheaded.
Magha, who was likely a court
poet in western India, draws on
the rich stylistic resources of Sanskrit poetry to imbue his work with
unparalleled sophistication. He
expands the narratives cosmic
implications through elaborate
depictions of the natural world
and intense erotic sensuality, mixing myth and classical erudition with scenes of political debate
and battlefield slaughter. Krishna is variously portrayed as refined
prince, formidable warrior, and incarnation of the god Vishnu protecting the world from demonic threat.
With this translation of The Killing of Shishupala, presented alongside the original text in Devanagari script, English readers for the
first time gain access to a masterwork that has dazzled Indian audiences for a thousand years.

The Life of Harishchandra

TRANSLATED BY
Vanamala Viswanatha
France Bhattacharya
In 1752, the Bengali poet Bharatchandra Ray completed a long

narrative poem dedicated to the glory of Annada, Shivas consort
and the divinity who, as her name
proclaims, bestows the bounty of
rice.
A poet well versed in Sanskrit,
Persian, and Hindiall of which
enrich his workBharatchandra
took up the literary performance
genre mangalkvya and thoroughly transformed it, addressing
the aesthetic tastes of the court
rather than of the traditional village audience. He added depth
and sensitivity to well-known legends, along with allusions to his
own experiences of poverty, and
more than a dash of mischievous
wit.
The first volume narrates Annadas origins, including the building of
her city and temple under Shivas direction and the spread of her
worship, and incorporates praise of the poets patron, the Nadia
royal family.
This translation, the first into English, accompanies the original text
in the Bangla script. Lively and entertaining, In Praise of Annada
was regarded as a major achievement in its own time and remains
a treasure of Bengali literature.
France Bhattacharya is Emeritus Professor of Bengali Language
and Literature at INALCO, Paris.
The Life of Harishchandra, Raghavankas thirteenth-century masterpiece, is the first poetic rendering of one of ancient Indias most
enduring legends. When his commitment to truth is tested by a
powerful sage, King Harishchandra suffers utter deprivationthe
loss of his wife and son, his citizens and power, and, dearest of
all, his caste statusbut refuses
to yield. The tale has influenced
poets and readers through the
ages. Mahatma Gandhi traced his
own commitment to truth to the
impact of a Harishchandra play
seen in childhood.
A poet from northern Karnataka
trained in the twin traditions of
Sanskrit and Kannada, Raghavanka negotiates a unique space
for himself in the Kannada literary
canon through important thematic, formal, and stylistic innovations.
The conflicts he addressesof hierarchical social order, political
power, caste, and genderare as relevant to contemporary India
as to his own times.
Accompanied by the original text in the Kannada script, this spirited translation, the first into any language, brings an elegant and
energetic narrative to a global readership.

Progymnasmata from Twelfth-Century Byzantium
Nikephoros Basilakes
Jeffrey Beneker Craig A. Gibson

Progymnasmata, preliminary exercises in the study of declamation,
were the cornerstone of elite education from Hellenistic through
Byzantine times. Using material
from Greek literary, mythological,
and historical traditions, students
and writers composed examples
ranging from simple fables to
complex arguments about fictional laws. In the Byzantine
period, the spectrum of source
material expanded to include the
Bible and Christian hagiography
and theology.
This collection was written by Nikephoros Basilakes, imperial notary

and teacher at the prestigious Patriarchal School in Constantinople
during the twelfth century. In his texts, Basilakes made significant
use of biblical themes, especially in character studiesknown as
ethopoeiaefeaturing King David, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Peter.
The Greek exercises presented here, translated into English for the
first time, shed light on education under the Komnenian emperors
and illuminate literary culture during one of the most important
epochs in the long history of the Byzantine Empire.

Old English History of the World
An Anglo-Saxon Rewriting of Orosius

Malcolm R. Godden
The Old English History of the

World is a translation and adaptation of the Latin history known as
the Seven Books of History against
the Pagans, written by the Spanish cleric Paulus Orosius at the
prompting of Saint Augustine
after the sack of Rome in 410. To
counter the pagan and republican
narratives of Livy and other classical historians, Orosius created an
account of the ancient world from
a Christian and imperial viewpoint.
His work was immensely popular
throughout Europe in succeeding
centuries, down to the end of the
Middle Ages. Around the year 900, an Old English version was produced by an anonymous writer, possibly encouraged or inspired
by King Alfred. The translator actively transformed Orosiuss narrative: cutting extraneous detail, adding
explanations and dramatic speeches, and
supplying a long section on the geography of the Germanic world. This volume
offers a new edition and modern translation of an Anglo-Saxon perspective on the
ancient world.
Malcolm R. Godden was Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of
Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford and is also editor and
translator of The Old English Boethius.

EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY John N. Grant
TRANSLATED BY Elaine Fantham
Francesco Petrarca (13041374), one Of the greatest of Italian poets,

was also the leading spirit in the Renaissance movement to revive
the cultural and moral excellence of ancient Greece and Rome.
This two-volume set contains an
ample, representative sample
from his enormous and fascinating correspondence with all the
leading figures of his day, from
popes, emperors, and kings to
younger contemporaries such as
Cola di Rienzi and Giovanni Boccaccio. The letters illustrate the
remarkable story of Petrarcas life
in a Europe beset by war, plague,
clerical corruption, and political
disintegration. The ninety-seven
letters in this selection, all freshly
translated, cover the full range of
Petrarcas interests, including the
rediscovery of lost classical texts, the reform of the Church, the
ideal prince, education in the classics, and the revival of ancient
moral philosophy. They include Petrarcas imaginary correspondence with the ancient authors he loved so well, and his autobiographical Letter to Posterity.
Aldus Manutius (c. 14511515) was the most important and innovative scholarly publisher of the Renaissance. His Aldine Press was
responsible for more first editions of classical literature, philosophy,
and science than any other publisher before or since. A companion volume to I Tattis The Greek
Classics (2016), Humanism and
the Latin Classics presents all of
Alduss prefaces to his editions
of works by ancient Latin and
modern humanist writers, translated for the first time into English,
along with other illustrative writings by Aldus and his collaborators. They provide unique insight
into the world of scholarly publishing in Renaissance Venice.

Phenomenology, Perception, Performance
Suzannah Clark Alexander Rehding

Music exists in time. All musicians
know this fundamental truthbut
what does it actually mean? Thirteen scholars probe the temporality of music from a great variety of
perspectives, in response to challenges that Christopher F. Hasty,
Walter Naumburg Professor of
Music at Harvard University, laid
out in his groundbreaking Meter
as Rhythm.
The essays included here bridge
the conventional divides between
theory, history, ethnomusicology,
aesthetics, performance practice,
cognitive psychology, and dance studies. In these investigations,
music emerges as an art form that has an important lesson to teach.
Not only can music be understood as sounds shaped in time but
more radicallyas time shaped in sounds.

Island
Daniel Daou Pablo Prez-Ramos
As a master metaphor, the

island has been a fecund
source of inspiration across
many domains. From Mores
Utopia to Darwins evolutionary theory to Ungerss archipelago, insights derived from
island thinking are commonly extrapolated across
diverse scales and fields.
The appeal of the island
metaphor lies in its capacity to simplify the complex
and frame the apparently
unbounded. Yet the concept
seems to contradict current mainstream thought and practice in
geographic and design fields. The globalization motifs of openness
and interconnectedness, and ecologys privilege of environmental
processes and flows over forms and boundaries, both challenge
the pertinence of the island as a cognitive device for territorial
description and intervention.
New Geographies, 8 proposes an epistemological pulse between,
on the one hand, the ultimate loss of the exterior implied in planetary upscaling of territorial interpretations (toward an idea of the
world as a whole) and, on the other hand, the need to rearrange
new boundaries in an environment viewed through the processoriented lens of ecology. An atlas of islands, New Geographies,
8 explores the new limits of islandness and gathers examples to
reassert its relevance for design disciplines.

Where the Roads All End
Photography and Anthropology in the Kalahari
Ilisa Barbash
Where the Roads All End tells the
remarkable story of an American
familys eight anthropological
expeditions to the remote Kalahari Desert in South-West Africa
(Namibia) during the 1950s. Raytheon co-founder Laurence Marshall, his wife Lorna, and children
John and Elizabeth recorded the
lives of some of the last remaining hunter-gatherers, the socalled Bushmen, in what is now
recognized as one of the most
important ventures in the anthropology of Africa. Largely selftaught as ethnographers, the family supplemented their research
with motion picture film and still photography to create an unparalleled archive that documents the Ju/hoansi and the /Gwi just as
they were being settled by the government onto a Bushman Preserve. The Marshalls films and publications popularized a strong
counternarrative to existing negative stereotypes of the Bushman
and revitalized academic studies of these southern African huntergatherers.
This vivid and multilayered account of a unique family enterprise
focuses on 25,000 still photographs in the archives of Harvards
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. Illustrated with
over 300 images, Where the Roads All End reflects on the enduring ethnographic record established by the Marshalls and the influential pathways they charted in anthropological fieldwork, visual
anthropology, ethnographic film, and documentary photography.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY Ira Jacknis
In 1986 the Peabody Museum

of Archaeology and Ethnology
at Harvard mounted From Site
to Sight, a groundbreaking
traveling exhibition on the historic and contemporary uses of
photography in anthropology.
Using visual materials from the
vast photographic archives of
the Peabody Museum and the
work of members of Harvards
anthropology department, the
accompanying catalog investigates how anthropologists
have employed the camera as
a recording and analytic tool and as an aesthetic medium. Photographs ranging from daguerreotypes to satellite images are presented in an examination of the possibilities and limitations of using
the camera as a fact-gathering and interpretive tool. The authors
also explore the broader implications of the usesand misusesof
visual imagery within the human sciences.
Long out of print, this classic publication is now available in an
enhanced thirtieth anniversary edition with a new introductory
essay by Ira Jacknis.

Li Mengyang, the North-South

Divide, and Literati Learning in
Ming China
Chang Woei Ong
Li Mengyang (14731530) was a
scholar-official and man of letters
who initiated the literary archaist
movement that sought to restore
ancient styles of prose and poetry
in sixteenth-century China. In this
first book-length study of Li in
English, Chang Woei Ong comprehensively examines his intellectual
scheme and situates Lis quest to
redefine literati learning as a way
to build a perfect social order in
the context of intellectual transitions since the Song dynasty.
Ong examines Lis emergence at
the distinctive historical juncture of the mid-Ming dynasty, when
differences between northern and southern literati cultures and
visions were articulated as a north-south divide (both real and perceived) among Chinese thinkers. Ong argues that this divide, and
the ways in which Ming literati compartmentalized learning, is key
to understanding Lis thought and its legacy. Though a northerner,
Li became a powerful voice in prose and poetry, in both a positive
and negative sense, as he was championed or castigated by the
southern literati communities. The southern literatis indifference
toward Lis other intellectual endeavorsincluding cosmology, ethics, political philosophy, and historiographyfurthered his utter
marginalization in those fields.

National University of Singapore.

No Great Wall
Trade, Tariffs, and Nationalism in Republican China,

19271945
Felix Boecking
This book, an in-depth study of
Nationalist tariff policy, fundamentally challenges the widely
accepted idea that the key to the
Communist seizure of power in
China lay in the incompetence of
Chiang Kai-sheks Nationalist government. It argues instead that
during the second Sino-Japanese
War, Chinas international trade,
the Nationalist governments tariff revenues, and hence its fiscal
policy and state-making project
all collapsed.
Because tariffs on Chinas international trade produced the single greatest share of central government revenue during the Nanjing decade, the political existence
of the Nationalist government depended on tariff revenue. Therefore, Chinese economic nationalism, both at the official and popular levels, had to be managed carefully so as not to jeopardize the
Nationalist governments income. Until the outbreak of war in 1937,
the Nationalists management of international trade and Chinas
government finances was largely successful in terms of producing
increasing and sustainable revenues. Within the first year of war,
however, the Nationalists lost territories producing 80 percent of
tariff revenue. Hence, government revenue declined just as warrelated expenditure increased, and the Nationalist government had
to resort to more rapacious forms of revenue extractiona decision that had disastrous consequences for both its finances and its
political viability.

Courtesans, Concubines, and the

Cult of Female Fidelity
Beverly Bossler
This book traces changing gender
relations in China from the tenth
to fourteenth centuries by examining three critical categories of
women: courtesans, concubines,
and faithful wives. It shows how
the intersection and mutual influence of these groupsand of
male discourses about them
transformed ideas about family
relations and the proper roles of
men and women.
Courtesan culture had a profound
effect on Song social and family life, as entertainment skills
became a defining feature of a new model of concubinage, and
as entertainer-concubines increasingly became mothers of literati sons. Neo-Confucianism, the new moral learning of the Song,
was significantly shaped by this entertainment culture and by the
new marketsin womenthat it created. Responding to a broad
social consensus, Neo-Confucians called for enhanced recognition
of concubine mothers in ritual and expressed increasing concern
about wifely jealousy. The book also details the surprising origins of
the Late Imperial cult of fidelity, showing that from inception, the
drive to celebrate female loyalty was rooted in a complex amalgam of political, social, and moral agendas. By taking womenand
mens relationships with womenseriously, this book makes a case
for the centrality of gender relations in the social, political, and
intellectual life of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Transgressive Typologies
Constructions of Gender and Power in Early Tang China
Rebecca Doran
The exceptionally powerful Chinese women leaders of the late
seventh and early eighth centuriesincluding Wu Zhao, the Taiping and Anle princesses, Empress
Wei, and Shangguan Waner
though quite prominent in the
Chinese cultural tradition, remain
elusive and often misunderstood
or essentialized throughout history. Transgressive Typologies
utilizes a new, multidisciplinary
approach to understand how
these figures historical identities
are constructed in the mainstream
secular literary-historical tradition
and to analyze the points of view that inform these constructions.
Using close readings and rereadings of primary texts written in
medieval China through later imperial times, this study elucidates
narrative typologies and motifs associated with these women to
explore how their power is rhetorically framed, gendered, and
ultimately deemed transgressive. Rebecca Doran offers a new
understanding of major female figures of the Tang era within their
literary-historical contexts, and delves into critical questions about
the relationship between Chinese historiography, reception-history,
and the process of image-making and cultural construction.
Rebecca Doran is Assistant Professor of Chinese at the University

A Continuous Revolution
Making Sense of Cultural Revolution Culture
Barbara Mittler
Cultural Revolution Culture, often
denigrated as nothing but propaganda, was liked not only in
its heyday but continues to be
enjoyed today. A Continuous Revolution sets out to explain its legacy. By considering Cultural Revolution propaganda artmusic,
stage works, prints and posters,
comics, and literaturefrom the
point of view of its longue dure,
Barbara Mittler suggests it was
able to build on a tradition of earlier art works, and this allowed for
its sedimentation in cultural memory and its proliferation in contemporary China.
Taking the aesthetic experience of the Cultural Revolution (1966
1976) as her base, Mittler juxtaposes close readings and analyses of
cultural products from the period with impressions given in a series
of personal interviews conducted in the early 2000s with Chinese
from diverse class and generational backgrounds. By including
much testimony from these original voices, Mittler illustrates the
extremely multifaceted and contradictory nature of the Cultural
Revolution, in terms both of artistic production and of its cultural
experience.

The Destruction of the Medieval

Chinese Aristocracy
Nicolas Tackett
Historians have long been perplexed by the complete disappearance of the medieval Chinese
aristocracy by the tenth century
the great clans that had dominated China for centuries. In this
book, Nicolas Tackett resolves the
enigma of their disappearance,
using new, digital methodologies to analyze a dazzling array of
sources.
Tackett systematically mines thousands of funerary biographies
excavated in recent decades
most of them never before examined by scholarswhile taking full advantage of the explanatory
power of Geographic Information System (GIS) methods and social
network analysis. Tackett supplements these analyses with extensive anecdotes culled from epitaphs, prose literature, and poetry,
bringing to life women and men who lived a millennium in the past.
The Destruction of the Medieval Chinese Aristocracy demonstrates
that the great Tang aristocratic families adapted to the social, economic, and institutional transformations of the seventh and eighth
centuries far more successfully than previously believed. Their
political influence collapsed only after a large number were killed
during three decades of extreme violence following Huang Chaos
sack of the capital cities in 880 CE.

Itineraries of Power
Texts and Traversals in Heian and Medieval Japan
Terry Kawashima
Movementsof
people
and
groups, through travel, migration,
exile, and diasporaare central
to understanding both local and
global power relationships. But
what of more literary moves: textual techniques such as distinct
patterns of narrative flow, abrupt
leaps between genres, and poetic
figures that flatten geographical
distance? This book examines
what happens when both types of
tropesliteral traversals and literary shiftscoexist.
Itineraries of Power examines
prose narratives and poetry of the mid-Heian to medieval eras
(9001400) that conspicuously feature tropes of movement. Terry
Kawashima argues that the appearance of a characters physical
motion, alongside literary techniques identified with motion, is a
textual signpost in a story, urging readers to focus on how the work
conceptualizes relations of power and claims to authority. From the
gendered intersection of register shifts in narrative and physical
displacement in the Heian period, to a dizzying tale of travel retold
multiple times in a single medieval text, the motion in these works
gestures toward internal conflicts and alternatives to existing structures of power. The book concludes that texts crucially concerned
with such tropes of movement suggest that power is always simultaneously manufactured and dismantled from within.

Asian Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

Assembling Shinto
Buddhist Approaches to Kami Worship in

Medieval Japan
Anna Andreeva
During the late twelfth to fourteenth centuries, several precursors of what is now commonly
known as Shinto came together
for the first time. By focusing on
Mt. Miwa in present-day Nara Prefecture and examining the worship of indigenous deities (kami)
that emerged in its proximity, this
book serves as a case study of
the key stages of assemblage
through which this formative
process took shape. Previously
unknown rituals, texts, and icons
featuring kami, all of which were
invented in medieval Japan under the strong influence of esoteric
Buddhism, are evaluated using evidence from local and translocal
ritual and pilgrimage networks, changing land ownership patterns,
and a range of religious ideas and practices. These stages illuminate the medieval pedigree of Rybu Shint (kami ritual worship
based loosely on esoteric Buddhisms Two Mandalas), a major precursor to modern Shinto.
In analyzing the key mechanisms for assembling medieval forms
of kami worship, Anna Andreeva challenges the twentieth-century
master narrative of Shinto as an unbroken, monolithic tradition. By
studying how and why groups of religious practitioners affiliated
with different cultic sites and religious institutions responded to
esoteric Buddhisms teachings, this book demonstrates that kami
worship in medieval Japan was a result of complex negotiations.

From antiquity to the modern

traditions have viewed the
relationship between image

There is a long history of scholarship examining this relationship, probing the manner and
meaning of its dynamics in
terms of equivalency, complementarity, and polarity.
This volume addresses the pictorial dimension of writing systems from cross-cultural and
multidisciplinary perspectives. Historiansincluding specialists in
art and literaturepaleographers, and anthropologists consider

Making Value, Making Meaning: Techn in the Pre-Columbian World adopts the concept of techn as an analytic
tool useful for understanding
how the production process
created value and meaning
for social valuables and public monuments in complex
societies in pre-Columbian
Mesoamerica and the Andes.
In doing so, the archaeologists and art historians
contributing to this volume
add to the study of ancient
artisans and craftsmanship
through the exploration of how technology, the organization of
production, artisan identity, and the deployment of esoteric knowledge factored into the creation of symbolically and politically
charged material culture.
The wide-ranging case studies in this volume demonstrate that the
concept of technthorough and masterful knowledge of a specific field deployed to create things with social utilityis a powerful
one for understanding the political economy of craft production
and the role of objects in social life and how object creation and
use helps to generate their social, political, and spiritual power.

The Botany of Empire in the Long

Eighteenth Century
EDITED BY Yota Batsaki Sarah Burke Cahalan
Anatole Tchikine
This book brings together an

international body of scholars working on eighteenthcentury botany within the
context of imperial expansion. The eighteenth century
saw widespread exploration,
a tremendous increase in the
traffic in botanical specimens,
taxonomic
breakthroughs,
and horticultural experimentation. The contributors to
this volume compare the
impact of new developments
and discoveries across several regions, broadening the
geographical scope of their inquiries to encompass imperial powers that did not have overseas colonial possessionssuch as the
Russian, Ottoman, and Qing empires and the Tokugawa shogunateas well as politically borderline regions such as South Africa,
Yemen, and New Zealand.
The essays in this volume examine the botanical ambitions of eighteenth-century empires; the figure of the botanical explorer; the
links between imperial ambition and the impulse to survey, map,
and collect botanical specimens in new territories; and the relationships among botanical knowledge, self-representation, and
material culture.

The New Testament in Byzantium

EDITED BY
Derek Krueger Robert S. Nelson
The New Testament lay at the

center of Byzantine Christian thought and practice.
But codices and rolls were
neither the sole waynor
most important waythe
Byzantines understood the
New Testament. Lectionaries
apportioned much of its contents over the course of the
liturgical calendar; its narratives structured the experience of liturgical time and
shaped the nature of Christian preaching, throughout
Byzantine history. A successor to The Old Testament in Byzantium (2010), this book asks: What
was the New Testament for Byzantine Christians? What of it was
known, how, when, where, and by whom? How was this knowledge
mediated through text, image, and rite? What was the place of
these sacred texts in Byzantine arts, letters, and thought?
Authors draw upon the current state of textual scholarship and
explore aspects of the New Testament, particularly as it was read,
heard, imaged, and imagined in lectionaries, hymns, homilies, and
saints lives, and as it was illustrated in miniatures and monuments.
Framing theological inquiry, ecclesiastical controversy, and political thought, the contributions here help develop our understanding of the New Testament and its varied reception over the long
history of Byzantium.

Singing Mosess Song
A Performance-Critical Analysis of Deuteronomys

Song of Moses
Keith A. Stone
How does performing affect those
who perform? Starting from observation of the intergenerational
tradition of performing the Song
of Moses (Deuteronomy 32.143),
Keith Stone explores ways in
which the Song contributes to
Deuteronomys educational program through the dynamics of
reenactment that operate in traditions of performance.
Performers of the Song are transformed as they reenact not only
characters within the Song but
also those who came before them
in the history of the Songs performanceparticularly YHWH and
Moses, whom Deuteronomy depicts as that traditions founders. In
support of this thesis, Stone provides a close reading of the text
of the Song as preserved in Deuteronomy and as informed by the
account of its origins and subsequent history. He examines how
the persona of the performer interacts with these reenacted personas in the moment of performance. He also argues that the various
composers of Deuteronomy themselves participated in the tradition of performing the Song, citing examples throughout the book
in which certain elements originally found in the Song have been
adopted, elaborated, acted out, or simply mimicked.

The Battle for Ukrainian

A Comparative Perspective
EDITED BY Michael S. Flier Andrea Graziosi

Lubomyr A. Hajda
In 1863 the Valuev Circular restricted the use of the Ukrainian language in the Russian Empire. In the 150 years since, Ukrainian has
followed a tortuous path, reflecting or anticipating tsarist, Soviet,
and post-Soviet history. This volume documents that path, studying the languages emergence in southern Rus, its shifting fortunes
in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, and its variable status after
1991.
Ukrainian can serve as a useful prism for assessing 150 years of
imperial disintegration and reformation, and worldwide state and
nation buildinga period in which other languages have been
created, promoted, and repressed, or have come to coexist in
multilingual nations. Case studies of Gaelic, Finnish, Yiddish, the
Baltic group, and of language policy in Canada, India, and the former Yugoslavia illuminate similarities and differences in chronological, comparative, international, and transnational terms. The result
is an interdisciplinary study that is essential for understanding
language, history, and politics in Ukraine and in the post-imperial
world.
The Future of the Past
New Perspectives on Ukrainian History

EDITED BY
Serhii Plokhy
Ukraine is in the midst of the worst international crisis in East-West

relations since the Cold War, and history itself has become a battleground in Russia-Ukraine relations. Can history and historical narratives be blamed for what has happened in the region, or can they
show the path to peace and reconciliation, helping to integrate the
history of the region in the broader European context?
The essays collected here address these questions, rethinking
the meaning of Ukrainian history by venturing outside boundaries established by the national paradigm, and demonstrating how
research on the history of Ukraine can benefit from both regional
and global perspectives. The Future of the Past shows how the
study of Ukraines past enhances our understanding of Europe, Eurasia, and the worldpast, present, and future.

Materials Toward the Study of

Vasubandhus Vimik (I)
Sanskrit and Tibetan Critical Editions of the Verses and

Autocommentary; An English Translation and Annotations
Jonathan A. Silk
The Twenty Verses on Manifestation-Only of the Indian Buddhist

philosopher Vasubandhu (c. 350430?), his Vimk, is one of the
most important treatises of the Yogcra school. Accompanied by
the authors own commentary, the text lays out a vision of a Buddhist Idealism in which even ones experience of the sufferings of
hell is revealed to be nothing other than the results of working out
ones karma. Later scholars commented on the work a number of
times, in its original Sanskrit, in Tibetan translation, and in three
Chinese versions.
This book presents an edition and translation of the Sanskrit text
of the core verses, alongside the original authors commentary,
based directly on the manuscript evidence. This is accompanied
by an edition of the canonical translations of these texts found in
the Tibetan Tanjurs, as well as a draft translation of the verses
in Tibetan, found in a manuscript from Dunhuang. This publication
therefore provides the most reliable and comprehensive philological accounting to date for this fundamental work.

[An] outstanding and monumental

Eiland and Michael Jennings have

Through an exploration of themes that preoccupied Camus

absurdity, silence, revolt, fidelity, and moderationRobert Zaretsky
portrays a moralist who refused to be fooled by the nobler names
we assign to our actions, and who pushed himself, and those about
him, to challenge the status quo.
Some writers are lucky enough to
be remembered 50 years after they
die, and a few are even beloved. What
is vanishingly rare, however, is
for a long-dead writer to remain
controversial. Albert Camus is one of
those exceptions, a writer who still has
the power to ignite political passions,
because he managed to incorporate
the history of the 20th century so
deeply into his writing.
Adam Kirsch, DAILY BEAST
The centenary [of Albert Camus]
has spurred books, papers and

Makers of Modern Asia

EDITED BY
The First Crusade

The Call from the East
Ramachandra Guha
Hardly more than a decade old,
the twenty-first century has
already been dubbed the Asian
Century in recognition of China
and Indias increasing importance
in world affairs. Yet discussions of
Asia seem fixated on economic
indicatorsgross national product, per capita income, share of
global trade. Makers of Modern
Asia reorients our understanding
of contemporary Asia by highlighting the political leaders, not
billionaire businessmen, who
helped launch the Asian Century.
[An] entertaining and illuminating collection of essays . . . The chapters

on Sukarno, by James Rush, and on Bhutto, by Farzana Shaikh, are
exceptional.
Peter Frankopan
According to tradition, the First
Crusade began at the instigation
of Pope Urban II and culminated
in July 1099, when thousands of
western European knights liberated Jerusalem from the rising
menace of Islam. But what if the
First Crusades real catalyst lay
far to the east of Rome? In this
groundbreaking book, countering
nearly a millennium of scholarship, Peter Frankopan reveals the
untold history of the First Crusade.
Highly readable . . . The First
Crusade tells a complex story, but its
presentation of political machinations, compromises and betrayals seems
utterly convincing. The harsh truths of realpolitik are, alas, with us always.
Michael Dirda, WASHINGTON POST
THE ECONOMIST
Biographies of 11 galvanizers of modern Asian nationalism, from Gandhi to
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, underscore the importance of politics before economics
. . . These essays offer pithy highlights of each individuals early life and
political development, followed by delineation of how each applied his or
her beliefs ( for good or ill) to anti-colonial campaigns.
In his project to give fuller credit to those Byzantine and Turkish leaders
who actually caused the First Crusade, Frankopan proves refreshingly
undaunted by the prospect of scaling the citadel of almost a thousand
years of scholarship . . . The First Crusade, as any vibrant history should, is
bound to set a lot of feathers flying.
Nicholas Shakespeare, DAILY TELEGRAPH
KIRKUS REVIEWS
A much-needed collection . . . Compared to many biographies of Western
political leaders, these stories lack the commercial drama and overheated
sensationalism of the bestselling variety, but that characteristic may be a
welcome respite for many readers.
Frankopans reassessment of the first crusade through the prism of

Byzantium is a useful corrective to the mass of western-centric crusade
history . . . An accessible and convincing account of the crusade, which was
both concocted and executed under the long shadow of Byzantium.

American Railroads
Decline and Renaissance in the Twentieth Century

Robert E. Gallamore John R. Meyer
Once an icon of American industry,

railroads fell into a long decline
beginning around the turn of the
twentieth century. Overburdened
with regulation and often displaced
by barge traffic on governmentmaintained waterways, trucking
on interstate highways, and jet
aviation, railroads measured their
misfortune in lost market share,
abandoned track, bankruptcies,
and unemployment. Today, however, as Robert Gallamore and
John Meyer demonstrate, rail
transportation is reviving, rescued
by new sources of traffic and
advanced technology, as well as less onerous bureaucracy.
A comprehensive account.
Daniel Machalaba, WALL STREET JOURNAL
Detailed, sophisticated, occasionally technical, and provocative,
[Gallamore and Meyers] book provides a superb and often fascinating
analysis of the economics, technological change, and the impact of public

them to demonstrate, through a careful analysis of costs and benefits, that
regulation of passenger and/or freight railroads is in the public interest.

The Making of a Sunbelt Borderland
Carol Gilligan
Geraldo L. Cadava
This is the little book that started
a revolution. First published more
than thirty years ago, it made
womens voices heard, in their
own right and with their own
integrity, for virtually the first
time in social scientific theorizing about women. Translated into
twenty-one languages, with more
than 750,000 copies sold around
the world, In a Different Voice has
inspired new research, new educational initiatives, and political
debateand helped many women
and men to see themselves and
each other in a different light.
Theories of moral development are not mere abstractions. They matterto

the way children are raised, to female and male self-esteem, as ammunition
for personal and political attackand that is why Carol Gilligans book
is important . . . In a Different Voice is consistently provocative and
imaginative.
Carol Tavris, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Gilligans book is feminism at its best . . . Her thesis is rooted not only in
research but in common sense . . . Theories of human development are
never more limited or limiting than when their bias is invisible, and
Gilligans book performs the vital service of illuminating one of the deepest
biases of all.

An Australian Book Review Book of the Year
Under constant surveillance and

policed by increasingly militarized means, Arizonas border is
portrayed in the media as a site
of sharp political and ethnic divisions. But this view obscures the
regions deeper history. Bringing
to light the shared cultural and
commercial ties through which
businessmen
and
politicians
forged a transnational Sunbelt,
Standing on Common Ground
recovers the vibrant connections
between Tucson, Arizona, and
the neighboring Mexican state of
Sonora. Geraldo L. Cadava corrects misunderstandings of the borderlands past and calls attention to the many types of exchange,
beyond labor migrations, that demonstrate how the United States
and Mexico continue to shape one another.
For its recovery of forgotten histories and its insistence on transnational
connections, Standing on Common Ground commands the attention of
scholars of the ArizonaSonora region and of all who study borderlands.
Stephen Aron, AMERICAS
Thoroughly researched and cleverly organized around iconic Tucson events
and people, the book gives illuminating historical background to current
strife over racial and migrant issues. Cadava has crafted a compelling story
of the whole border region as the various people there experienced it.

The Power of Market

Fundamentalism
Karl Polanyis Critique
Citizens Divided
Campaign Finance Reform and the Constitution
Robert C. Post
Fred Block Margaret R. Somers
The Supreme Courts 5-4 decision

in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which struck
down a federal prohibition on
independent corporate campaign
expenditures, is one of the most
controversial opinions in recent
memory. Defenders of the First
Amendment greeted the ruling
with enthusiasm, while advocates
of electoral reform recoiled in disbelief. Robert Post offers a new
constitutional theory that seeks
to reconcile these sharply divided
camps.
What is it about free-market ideas

that give them staying power in
the face of such failures as persistent unemployment, widening
inequality, and financial crises?
The Power of Market Fundamentalism extends economist Karl
Polanyis work to explain why
these dangerous utopian ideas
have become the dominant economic ideology of our time.
In seeking to understand the dynamics
of our own time, we can do no better
than to revisit Polanyi . . . Block and
Somers provide a thorough reprise of
Polanyi for readers new to him and careful analysis for specialists.
Robert Kuttner, AMERICAN PROSPECT
Two of the smartest and most erudite sociologists at work today, Block
and Somers deftly trace the biographical origins of Polanyis ideas and
elucidate the philosophical, historical, and economic literatures he alludes
to. The result is a lucid, engaging, and often brilliant guidebook to The
Great Transformation that shows just how much we need Polanyi today
. . . Everyone should be reading The Great Transformation these days. But
first they should probably read The Power of Market Fundamentalism.
Democracy is not just a structure of elections and political institutions,

but a mysterious and historically fluid set of ideas about the relationship
between citizens and those who govern. With his characteristically subtle
understanding of our cultural history, Robert Post shows how changing
ideas of self-government illuminate one of the great political and legal
controversies of our time.
Richard H. Pildes, New York University
Robert Post offers a powerful critique of the Citizens United decision, and
an original and compelling new perspective on how the Supreme Court
should analyze campaign finance laws in light of the First Amendments
commitment to electoral integrity.

Routes of Power
After Physics
Energy and Modern America

After Physics presents ambitious

new essays about some of the
deepest questions at the foundations of physics, by the physicist
and philosopher David Albert. The
books title alludes to the close
connections between physics and
metaphysics, much in evidence
throughout these essays. It also
alludes to the work of imagining
what it would be like for the project of physical scienceconsidered as an investigation into the
fundamental laws of natureto
be complete.
Edelstein Prize, Society for the History of Technology
The fossil fuel revolution is usually rendered as a tale of historic

advances in energy production.
In
this
perspective-changing
account, Christopher F. Jones
instead tells a story of advances
in energy accesscanals, pipelines, and wires that delivered
power in unprecedented quantities to cities and factories at a
great distance from production
sites. He shows that in the American mid-Atlantic region between
1820 and 1930, the construction
of elaborate transportation networks for coal, oil, and electricity
unlocked remarkable urban and industrial growth along the eastern
seaboard. But this new transportation infrastructure did not simply
satisfy existing consumer demandit also whetted an appetite for
more abundant and cheaper energy, setting the nation on a path
toward fossil fuel dependence.
Working at the intersection of technological and environmental history,
Jones shows that understanding political economy and social context are
integral to understanding energy transitions. His elegantly written and
cogently argued narrative of how Americans spent down the planetary
savings account of solar energy amassed in fossil fuels is as compelling as
a mystery novel.

Albert offers a piercing analysis of modern physics.
David Kordahl, LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS
This work will influentially speak [to advanced students in both philosophy
and physics].
P. D. Skiff, CHOICE
After Physics consists of eight brilliant essays in Alberts inimitable
style exploring connections between fundamental physical theories (in
particular quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics) and central
issues in metaphysics and epistemology. It will stimulate a great deal of
discussion among those interested in matters on the border between physics
and philosophy.

A History of Latino Writing and Print Culture
H

Faith and Politics in Action
John Hope Franklin Publication Prize, American Studies Association

Modern Language Association Prize for a First Book
A shift of global proportions occurred

in May 1808. Napoleon Bonaparte
invaded Spain and deposed the
Spanish king. Overnight, the Hispanic world was transformed forever.
Hispanics were forced to confront
modernity, and to look beyond monarchy and religion for new sources
of authority. A World Not to Come
focuses on how Spanish Americans
in Texas used writing as a means to
establish new sources of authority,
and how a Latino literary and intellectual life was born in the New World.
At once a gripping history, a dizzying
synthesis of Enlightenment philosophical currents, and a breathtaking feat
of original archival research, his book merits reading by anyone interested
in American literature, Latina/o studies, economic history, or Western
philosophy. A World Not to Come demands that we recalibrate our sense of
what American literary history looks like.
John Alba Cutler, LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS
Coronado has made a substantial, well researched and well-written
contribution to the study of Latino/a print culture, and he has expanded
our knowledge of Latino/a letters in new, exciting directions.

Every year an estimated 600,000 U.S. Latinos convert from Catholicism to Protestantism. Today, 12.5 million Latinos self-identify as
Protestanta population larger
than all U.S. Jews and Muslims
combined. Spearheading this
spiritual transformation is the
Pentecostal
movement
and
Assemblies of God, which is the
destination for one out of four
converts. In a deeply researched
social and cultural history, Gastn Espinosa uncovers the roots
of this remarkable turn and the
Latino AGs growing leadership
nationwide.
This magnificently researched book
about the Latino contribution to the
American Assemblies of God brings to public consciousness a minority
whose history has been overlain by what Gastn Espinosa calls the
European-American history of Pentecostalism in North America.
David Martin, CHURCH TIMES
Those interested in the religious experience of Latinos or in the history of
Pentecostalism will find Espinosas study to be informative and useful.
John Jaeger, LIBRARY JOURNAL
This is an excellent study of the Latino movement within the Assemblies of
God (AG) denomination . . . This is finely crafted denominational history
and, given the size and importance of Hispanics in the AG and in American
Pentecostalism generally, it is an important resource for understanding the
future of Christianity in North America.
