How are teenagers lives differenttoday?
The most visible difference is, of course, technology.
Many of todays youth have access to tools that allow them
to connect to people and information in unprecedented
ways.Yet this is not actually the most salient difference
between now and the past. Teens today are also more
heavily constrained in their mobility, more regulated
in terms of their time and activities, and under more
pressure than those from previous generations. This
means that they have fewer opportunities to socialize
in unstructured, face-to-face settings. Technology often
serves as a relief valve, allowing teens to hang out with
friends when getting together isnt otherwisepossible.
What most surprised you from your interviews ofteens?
Given the plethora of concerns about social media, I
expected to see problems everywhere. I was most
surprised to fnd that most teens had a perfectly healthy
relationship with technology and that many of the
struggles they faced were age-old issues made more
visible through social media. I found that the newness of
technology distracted many well-intended adults from
helping young people with the challenges they doface.
What topics dominate societys conversations about
youth? How would you change thefocus?
Most conversations that focus on teens use of social
mediaand their lives more generallycenter on the
risks youth face. While its important to protect youth
from dangers, a society based on fear-mongering is not
healthy. Lets instead talk about how we can help youth
be passionate, engaged, constructive members of society
rather than how we can protect them from statistically
anomalous dangers. Lets understand those teens who are
truly at risk; these teens often have the leastsupport.

Imagining Black America
Michael Wayne
A fascinating and challenging inquiry into black
identity and its shifting meaning throughout
U.S. history
Scientifc research has now established that race should
be understood as a social construct, not a true biologi-
cal division of humanity. In Imagining Black America,
Michael Wayne explores the construction and recon-
struction of black America from the arrival of the frst
Africans in Jamestown in 1619 to Barack Obamas
reelection. Races have to be imagined into existence
and constantly reimagined as circumstances change,
Wayne argues, and as a consequence the boundaries of
black America have historically been contested terrain.
He discusses the emergence in the nineteenth cen-
turyand the erosion, during the past two decadesof
the notorious one-drop rule. He shows how signif-
cant periods of social transformationemancipation,
the Great Migration, the rise of the urban ghetto, and
the Civil Rights Movementraised major questions for
black Americans about the defning characteristics of
their racial community. And he explores how factors
such as class, age, and gender have infuenced percep-
tions of what it means to beblack.
Wayne also considers how slavery and its legacy have
defned freedom in the United States. Black Americans,
he argues, because of their deep commitment to the
promise of freedom and the ideals articulated by the
Founding Fathers, became and remain quintessential
Americansthe incarnation of America, in the words
of the civil rights leader A. PhilipRandolph.
MICHAEL WAYNE is professor emeritus, History Department, and
fellow, University College, University of Toronto. This is his third
book of historical scholarship. He lives inToronto.

Austerity
The Great Failure
Florian Schui
In times of economic crisis austerity becomes a
rallying cry, but what does history tell us about
its chances forsuccess?
Austerity is at the center of political debates today. Its
defenders praise it as a panacea that will prepare the
ground for future growth and stability. Critics insist it
will precipitate a vicious cycle of economic decline, pos-
sibly leading to political collapse. But the notion that
abstinence from consumption brings benefts to states,
societies, or individuals is hardly new. This book puts
the debates of our own day in perspective by exploring
the long history of austeritya popular idea that lives
on despite a track record of dismalfailure.
Florian Schui shows that arguments in favor of auster-
ity wereand are todaymainly based on moral and
political considerations, rather than on economic anal-
ysis. Unexpectedly, it is the critics of austerity who have
framed their arguments in the language of economics.
Schui fnds that austerity has failed intellectually and
in economic terms every time it has been attempted. He
examines thinkers who have infuenced our ideas about
abstinence from Aristotle through such modern eco-
nomic thinkers as Smith, Marx, Veblen, Weber, Hayek,
and Keynes, as well as the motives behind specifc
twentieth-century austerity efforts. The persistence of
the concept cannot be explained from an economic
perspective, Schui concludes, but only from the persua-
sive appeal of the moral and political ideas linked toit.
FLORIAN SCHUI has held positions at the University of Cambridge
and at Royal Holloway, University of London, and will work at the
University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, beginning in2014.

Culture and the Death of God
Terry Eagleton
New observations on the persistence of God in
modern times and why authentic atheism is
so very hard to come by
How to live in a supposedly faithless world threatened
by religious fundamentalism? Terry Eagleton, formi-
dable thinker and renowned cultural critic, investigates
in this thought-provoking book the contradictions, dif-
fculties, and signifcance of the modern search for a
replacement for God. Engaging with a phenomenally
wide range of ideas, issues, and thinkers from the
Enlightenment to today, Eagleton discusses the state
of religion before and after 9/11, the ironies surround-
ing Western capitalisms part in spawning not only
secularism but also fundamentalism, and the unsat-
isfactory surrogates for the Almighty invented in the
post-Enlightenmentera.
The author refects on the unique capacities of religion,
the possibilities of culture and art as modern paths to
salvation, the so-called war on terrors impact on athe-
ism, and a host of other topics of concern to those who
envision a future in which just and compassionate com-
munities thrive. Lucid, stylish, and entertaining in his
usual manner, Eagleton presents a brilliant survey of
modern thought that also serves as a timely, urgently
needed intervention into our perilous politicalpresent.
TERRY EAGLETON is Distinguished Professor of Literature,
University of Lancaster, and Excellence in English Distinguished
Visiting Professor, University of Notre Dame. He is the author of
more than 40 books on literary theory, postmodernism, politics, ide-

Prisoners, Lovers, and Spies
The Story of Invisible Ink from Herodotus to al-Qaeda
Kristie Macrakis
The frst history of invisible ink revealed
through thrilling stories about scoundrels
and heroes and their ingenious methods for
concealingmessages.
Prisoners, Lovers, and Spies is a book about conceal-
ing and revealing secret communications. It is the frst
history of invisible writing, uncovered through stories
about scoundrels and heroes. Spies were imprisoned or
murdered, adultery unmasked, and battles lost because
of faulty or intercepted secret communications. Yet,
successfully hidden writing helped save lives, win bat-
tles, and ensure privacy; occasionally it even changed
the course ofhistory.
Kristie Macrakis combines a storytellers sense of drama
with a historians respect for evidence in this page-
turning history of intrigue and espionage, love and
war, magic and secrecy. From the piazzas of ancient
Rome to the spy capitals of the Cold War, Macrakiss
global history reveals the drama and importance of
invisible ink. From Ovids advice to use milk for illicit
love notes, to John Gerards dramatic escape from the
tower of London aided by orange juice ink messages, to
al- Qaedas hidden instructions in pornographic movies,
this book presents spellbinding stories of secret mes-
saging that chart its evolution in sophistication and its
impact on history. An appendix includes fun kitchen
chemistry recipes for readers to try out athome.

Jack the Ripper
The Forgotten Victims
Paul Begg, with John Bennett
Experts agree that Jack the Ripper murdered
fve London women, but how many others did
he slaughter in Britain or across theseas?
The number of women murdered and mutilated by
Jack the Ripper is impossible to know, although most
researchers now agree on fve individuals. These fve
canonical cases have been examined at length in
Ripper literature, but other contemporary murders and
attacks bearing strong resemblance to the gruesome
Ripper slayings have received scant attention. These
unsolved cases are the focus of this intriguingbook.
The volume devotes separate chapters to a dozen
female victims who were attacked during the years of
Jack the Rippers murder spree. Their terrible stories
a few survived to bear witness, but most died of their
woundsilluminate key aspects of the Ripper case and
the period: the gangs of Londons Whitechapel district,
Victorian prostitutes, the public panic inspired by the
crimes and fueled by journalists, medical practices of
the day, police procedures and competency, and the
probable existence of other serial killers. The book also
considers crimes initially attributed to Jack the Ripper
in other parts of Britain and the world, notably New
York, Jamaica, and Nicaragua. In a fnal chapter, the
drive to fnd the identity of the Ripper is examined,
looking at contemporary and later suspects as well as
several important theories, revealing the lengths to
which some have gone to claim success in identifying
Jack theRipper.
PAUL BEGG is a world authority on Jack the Ripper and the author
of several books about him, including Jack the Ripper: The Defnitive
History. He is co-author with John Bennett of Jack the Ripper: CSI

Can there be anything libertarian about paternalism?
Isnt libertarian paternalism a contradiction interms?
Libertarian paternalism is no contradiction. All over
the world, people are recognizing that we can adopt
approaches that preserve freedom of choice, but that
also steer people in helpful directions. Consider a GPS:
you can ignore it if you want, but it gives you a route
that is often prettysensible.
So, too, a restaurant might highlight healthful meals
and put them in a special part of the menu. If so, it is
engaging in libertarian paternalism. An employer might
automatically enroll you in a savings plan or a health
care planbut allow you to opt out. Thats a form of
libertarian paternalism. The government might give
people certain warnings, designed to reduce the risks
associated with smoking or texting while driving. If
the goal is to steer people in directions that will make
their lives longer, then the government is engaged in
libertarianpaternalism.
Theres no contradiction in combining freedom of
choice with a little steering. And because its a form of
choice architecture, impossible to avoid, steering is
pretty muchinevitable.
Should people be allowed to make mistakes? Are there
times when they shouldnt?
Sure, people should be allowed to make mistakes. We
learn from what we do, even if our decisions dont
turn out so well. If our choices dont affect anyone
else, freedom of choice is a good place to start. But it
isnt a good place to end. If people really are making
catastrophic decisions, and if the benefts of preventing
the catastrophe clearly outweigh the costs, we might be
able to overcome the presumption in favor of freedom
ofchoice.
A conversation
with Cass R.
Sunstein
WhyNudge?
The Politics of Libertarian Paternalism
Cass R. Sunstein
The bestselling author of Simpler and co-author
of Nudge offers a powerful, provocative, and
convincing argument for protecting people
from their own mistakes
Based on a series of pathbreaking lectures given at Yale
University in 2012, this powerful, thought-provoking
work by national best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein
combines legal theory with behavioral economics to
make a fresh argument about the legitimate scope of
government, bearing on obesity, smoking, distracted
driving, health care, food safety, and other highly vola-
tile, high-profle public issues. Behavioral economists
have established that people often make decisions that
run counter to their best interestsproducing what
Sunstein describes as behavioral market failures.
Sometimes we disregard the long term; sometimes we
are unrealistically optimistic; sometimes we do not
see what is in front of us. With this evidence in mind,
Sunstein argues for a new form of paternalism, one that
protects people against serious errors but also recog-
nizes the risk of government overreaching and usually
preserves freedom ofchoice.
Against those who reject paternalism of any kind,
Sunstein shows that choice architecturegovern-
ment-imposed structures that affect our choicesis
inevitable, and hence that a form of paternalism cannot
be avoided. He urges that there are profoundly moral
reasons to ensure that choice architecture is helpful
rather than harmfuland that it makes peoples lives
better andlonger.
CASS R. SUNSTEIN, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at
Harvard Law School, is the author of several books, including the
national best seller Simpler: The Future of Government and, with coau-
thor Richard H. Thaler, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health,
Wealth, and Happiness. He lives in Cambridge, MA.

pretty muchinevitable.
Should people be allowed to make mistakes? Are there
times when they shouldnt?
Sure, people should be allowed to make mistakes. We
learn from what we do, even if our decisions dont
turn out so well. If our choices dont affect anyone
else, freedom of choice is a good place to start. But it
isnt a good place to end. If people really are making
catastrophic decisions, and if the benefts of preventing
the catastrophe clearly outweigh the costs, we might be
able to overcome the presumption in favor of freedom
ofchoice.

Sunstein
WhyNudge?
The Politics of Libertarian Paternalism
Cass R. Sunstein
The bestselling author of Simpler and co-author
of Nudge offers a powerful, provocative, and
convincing argument for protecting people
from their own mistakes
Based on a series of pathbreaking lectures given at Yale
University in 2012, this powerful, thought-provoking
work by national best-selling author Cass R. Sunstein
combines legal theory with behavioral economics to
make a fresh argument about the legitimate scope of
government, bearing on obesity, smoking, distracted
driving, health care, food safety, and other highly vola-
tile, high-profle public issues. Behavioral economists
have established that people often make decisions that
run counter to their best interestsproducing what
Sunstein describes as behavioral market failures.
Sometimes we disregard the long term; sometimes we
are unrealistically optimistic; sometimes we do not
see what is in front of us. With this evidence in mind,
Sunstein argues for a new form of paternalism, one that
protects people against serious errors but also recog-
nizes the risk of government overreaching and usually
preserves freedom ofchoice.
Against those who reject paternalism of any kind,
Sunstein shows that choice architecturegovern-
ment-imposed structures that affect our choicesis
inevitable, and hence that a form of paternalism cannot
be avoided. He urges that there are profoundly moral
reasons to ensure that choice architecture is helpful
rather than harmfuland that it makes peoples lives
better andlonger.
CASS R. SUNSTEIN, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at
Harvard Law School, is the author of several books, including the
national best seller Simpler: The Future of Government and, with coau-
thor Richard H. Thaler, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health,

The Invention of News
How the World Came to Know About Itself
Andrew Pettegree
The extraordinary history of news and its
dissemination, from medieval pilgrim tales to
the birth of the newspaper
Long before the invention of printing, let alone the
availability of a daily newspaper, people desired to be
informed. In the pre-industrial era news was gathered
and shared through conversation and gossip, civic cer-
emony, celebration, sermons, and proclamations. The
age of print brought pamphlets, edicts, ballads, journals,
and the frst news-sheets, expanding the news com-
munity from local to worldwide. This groundbreaking
book tracks the history of news in ten countries over the
course of four centuries. It evaluates the unexpected
variety of ways in which information was transmitted in
the premodern world as well as the impact of expand-
ing news media on contemporary events and the lives
of an ever-more-informedpublic.
Andrew Pettegree investigates who controlled the
news and who reported it; the use of news as a tool of
political protest and religious reform; issues of privacy
and titillation; the persistent need for news to be cur-
rent and journalists trustworthy; and peoples changed
sense of themselves as they experienced newly opened
windows on the world. By the close of the eighteenth
century, Pettegree concludes, transmission of news had
become so effcient and widespread that European citi-
zensnow aware of wars, revolutions, crime, disasters,
scandals, and other eventswere poised to emerge as
actors in the great events unfolding aroundthem.
ANDREW PETTEGREE is professor of modern history, University
of St. Andrews, and founding director of the St. Andrews Reformation
Studies Institute. He now runs the Universal Short Title Catalogue, a
free, searchable database of all books published before 1601. He lives
in Fife, Scotland.

Poilu
The World War I Notebooks of Louis Barthas, Barrelmaker, 19141918
Louis Barthas
Translated by Edward M. Strauss
The harrowing frst-person account of a French
foot soldier who survived four years in the
trenches of the First World War
Along with millions of other Frenchmen, Louis Barthas,
a thirty-fve-year-old barrelmaker from a small wine-
growing town, was conscripted to fght the Germans
in the opening days of World War I. Corporal Barthas
spent the next four years in near-ceaseless combat,
wherever the French army fought its fercest battles:
Artois, Flanders, Champagne, Verdun, the Somme, the
Argonne. Barthas riveting wartime narrative, frst pub-
lished in France in 1978, presents the vivid, immediate
experiences of a frontlinesoldier.
This excellent new translation brings Barthas wartime
writings to English-language readers for the frst time.
His notebooks and letters represent the quintessen-
tial memoir of a poilu, or hairy one, as the untidy,
unshaven French infantryman of the fghting trenches
was familiarly known. Upon Barthas return home in
1919, he painstakingly transcribed his day-to-day writ-
ings into nineteen notebooks, preserving not only his
own story but also the larger story of the unnumbered
soldiers who never returned. Recounting bloody bat-
tles and endless exhaustion, the deaths of comrades,
the infuriating incompetence and tyranny of his own
offcers, Barthas also describes spontaneous acts of
camaraderie between French poilus and their German
foes in trenches just a few paces apart. An eloquent
witness and keen observer, Barthas takes his readers
directly into the heart of the GreatWar.
EDWARD M. STRAUSS is a fund-raising director in higher educa-
tion and former publisher of MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military
History. He lives in New YorkCity.
This book shows clearly and viscerally
what were the origins of French soldiers
pacifsm, which carried on throughout the
interwar years, and wound up informing
our current human rights regime too....
Barthass voice is unlike any other I know
in the vast literature on the First World
War. The translation is excellent; the
grittiness of the text is captured beautifully,
and so is the humanity of the man who
wrote it.Jay Winter, Yale University

Whistler
A Life for Arts Sake
Daniel E. Sutherland
A major new biographyof James McNeill
Whistler, one of most complex, intriguing, and
important of Americas artists
The frst biography in more than twenty years of James
McNeill Whistler (18341903) is also the frst to make
extensive use of the artists private correspondence to
tell the story of his life and work. This engaging per-
sonal history dispels the popular notion of Whistler as
merely a combative, eccentric, and unrelenting public-
ity seeker, a man as renowned for his public feuds with
Oscar Wilde and John Ruskin as for the iconic portrait
of his mother. The Whistler revealed in these pages is
an intense, introspective, and complex man, plagued
by self-doubt and haunted by an endless pursuit of per-
fection in his painting anddrawing.
In his beautifully illustrated and deeply human por-
trayal of the artist, Daniel E. Sutherland shows why
Whistler was perhaps the most infuential artist of his
generation, and certainly a pivotal fgure in the cultural
history of the nineteenth century. Whistler comes alive
through his own magnifcent work and words, includ-
ing the provocative manifestos that explained his bold
artistic vision, sparked controversy in his own time, and
resonate to thisday.
DANIEL E. SUTHERLAND is Distinguished Professor of History,
University of Arkansas. The recipient of more than ffty awards, hon-

The Ten Commandments
A Short History of an Ancient Text
Michael Coogan
The complex and surprising history of one of
the worlds most famous texts
In this lively and provocative book, Michael Coogan
guides readers into the ancient past to examine the
iconic Ten Commandments, also known as the
Decalogue. How, among all the laws reportedly given
on Mount Sinai, did the Ten Commandments become
the Ten Commandments? When did that happen?
There are several versions of the Decalogue in the Old
Testament, so how have different groups determined
which is the most authoritative? Why were different
versionscreated?
Coogan discusses the meanings the Ten Commandments
had for audiences in biblical times and observes that
the form of the ten proscriptions and prohibitions was
not fxedas one would expect since they were pur-
ported to have come directly from Godnor were the
Commandments always strictly observed. In later times
as well, Jews and especially Christians ignored and
even rejected some of the prohibitions, although the
New Testament clearly acknowledges the special status
of the Ten Commandments. Today it is plain that some
of the values enshrined in the Decalogue are no lon-
ger defensible, such as the ownership of slaves and the
labeling of women as mens property. Yet in line with
biblical precedents, the author concludes that while a
literal observance of the Ten Commandments is mis-
guided, some of their underlying ideals remain valid in
a moderncontext.

however, enshrine more universal ideals, that should be
honored, although not by publicdisplay.

Why did you decide to write thisbook?
Scholarship on the Bible and on the history of Jews and
Christians in antiquity have changed our understanding
of the past signifcantly. Yet I have found that my
students, both in university and adult education classes,
are largely unaware of these new developments. I
wanted to open up a vibrant and complex world to this
largeraudience.
Did you encounter any surprises in yourresearch?
Yes! I have been studying this material for most of my
adult life, but nevertheless I constantly fnd myself
revising my own understanding. After I added up these
revisions, they led me to a larger picture that I did not
expect. For example, understanding biblical law as
largely academic exercises, or Paul as a largely typical
upper-class intellectual Jew from Jerusalem, very much
changed the way that I now approach the history of
theperiod.
Did studying the Bible in a rigorous, historical way
change your relationship withit?
To my mind, placing scripture within its larger
historical context adds to, rather than detracts from, its
value. The Bible is a remarkable book and remains
important for me and myfamily.
What were the greatest challenges in yourresearch?
Writing a history like this is a bit like putting together
a jigsaw puzzle that is missing 90 percent of its pieces

How the Bible Became Holy
Michael L. Satlow
In this startling reinterpretation of biblical
history, a leading scholar shows how the Bible
became the sacred text it is today
In this sweeping narrative,Michael Satlow tells the fas-
cinating story of how an ancient collection of obscure
Israelite writings became the founding texts of both
Judaism and Christianity, considered holy by followers
of each faith. Drawing on cutting-edge historical and
archeological research, he traces the story of how, when,
and why Jews and Christians gradually granted author-
ity to texts that had long lay dormant in a dusty temple
archive. The Bible, Satlow maintains, was not the con-
secrated book it is now until quite late in itshistory.
He describes how elite scribes in the eighth and sev-
enth centuries b.c.e. began the process that led to the
creation of several of our biblical texts. It was not until
these were translated into Greek in Egypt in the sec-
ond century b.c.e., however, that some Jews began to
see them as culturally authoritative, comparable to
Homers works in contemporary Greek society. Then,
in the frst century b.c.e. in Israel, political machina-
tions resulted in the Sadducees assigning legal power
to the writings. We see how the world Jesus was born
into was largely biblically illiterate and how he knew
very little about the texts upon which his apostles would
base his spiritualleadership.
Synthesizing an enormous body of scholarly work,
Satlows groundbreaking study offers provocative new
assertions about commonly accepted interpretations of
biblical history as well as a unique window into how
two of the worlds great faiths came intobeing.

The Discovery of PrionsA New Biological Principle of Disease
Stanley B. Prusiner, M.D.
A Nobel Prizewinners frst-person account
of a revolutionary scientifc discovery that
is now helping to unravel the mysteries of
brain diseases
In 1997, Stanley B. Prusiner received a Nobel Prize,
the worlds most prestigious award for achievement in
physiology or medicine. That he was the sole recipient
of the award for the year was entirely appropriate, for his
struggle to identify the agent responsible for ravaging
the brains of animals suffering from scrapie and mad
cow disease, and of humans with Creutzfeldt-Jakob dis-
ease, had been waged largely alone and in some cases
in the face of strenuousdisagreement.
In this book, Prusiner tells the remarkable story of his
discovery of prionsinfectious proteins that replicate
and cause disease but surprisingly contain no genetic
materialand reveals how superb and meticulous
science is actually practiced using talented teams of
researchers who persevere. He recounts the frustrations
and rewards of years of research and offers fascinating
portraits of his peers as they raced to discover the causes
of fatal brain diseases. Prusiners hypothesis, once con-
sidered heresy, now stands as accepted science and the
basis for developing diagnoses and eventual cures. He
closes with a meditation on the legacy of his discovery:
What will it take to cure Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Lou
Gehrigs and other devastating diseases of thebrain?
STANLEY PRUSINER, M.D., is director of the Institute for

Exit Berlin
How One Family Saved Itself from Nazi Germany
Charlotte Bonelli
Translated by Natascha Bodemann
The agonizing correspondence between Jewish
family members ensnared in the Nazi grip and
their American relatives
Just a week after the Kristallnacht terror in 1938, young
Luzie Hatch, a German Jew, fed Berlin to resettle in
New York. Her rescuer was an American-born cousin
and industrialist, Arnold Hatch. Arnold spoke no
German, so Luzie quickly became translator, inter-
mediary, and advocate for family left behind. Soon an
unending stream of desperate requests from German
relatives made their way to Arnoldsdesk.
Luzie Hatch had faithfully preserved her letters both to
and from far-fung relatives during the World War II era
as well as copies of letters written on their behalf. This
extraordinary collection, now housed at the American
Jewish Committee Archives, serves as the framework for
Exit Berlin. Charlotte R. Bonelli offers a vantage point
rich with historical context, from biographical informa-
tion about the correspondents to background on U.S.
immigration laws, conditions at the Vichy internment
camps, refuge in Shanghai, and many other topics, thus
transforming the letters into a rivetingnarrative.
Arnolds letters reveal an unfamiliar side of Holocaust
history. His are the responses of an average American
Jew, struggling to keep his own business afoat while
also assisting dozens of relatives trapped abroadmost
of whom he had never met and whose deathly situation
he could not fully comprehend. This book contributes
importantly to historical understanding while also
uncovering the dramatic story of one besieged family
confronting unimaginableevil.
CHARLOTTE R. BONELLI is Director of the Archives of the
American Jewish Committee, where the Luzie Hatch letter collection
is preserved. She lives in New YorkCity.

A World Without Jews
The Nazi Imagination from Persecution to Genocide
Alon Confno
A groundbreaking reexamination of the
Holocaust and of how Germans understood
their genocidal project
Why exactly did the Nazis burn the Hebrew Bible
everywhere in Germany on November 9, 1938? The
perplexing event has not been adequately accounted
for by historians in their large-scale assessments of how
and why the Holocaust occurred. In this gripping new
analysis, Alon Confno draws on an array of archives
across three continents to propose a penetrating new
assessment of one of the central moral problems of
the twentieth century. To a surprising extent, Confno
demonstrates, the mass murder of Jews during the war
years was powerfully anticipated in the culture of the
prewaryears.
The author shifts his focus away from the debates
over what the Germans did or did not know about the
Holocaust and explores instead how Germans came to
conceive of the idea of a Germany without Jews. He
traces the stories the Nazis told themselveswhere they
came from and where they were headingand how
those stories led to the conclusion that Jews must be
eradicated in order for the new Nazi civilization to arise.
The creation of this new empire required that Jews and
Judaism be erased from Christian history, and this was
the inspirationand justifcationfor Kristallnacht. As
Germans imagined a future world without Jews, per-
secution and extermination became imaginable, and

An excerpt from A World WithoutJews:
A history of the Holocaust must include the history
of emotions and imagination of Germans during the
Third Reich, for the fundamental reason that the
persecution and extermination was built on fantasy.
In persecuting and exterminating the Jews, Germans
waged a war against an imaginary enemy that had no
belligerent intentions toward Germany and possessed
no army, state, orgovernment.
The essential motivations for this war were not practical,
for Germans and Jews did not have a confict over
territory, land, resources, borders, or political power
that often characterizes cases of ethnic cleansing and
genocide in the modern world. In the mind of the
Nazis, this was a war about identity. Nothing about
Nazi anti-Semitism was driven by a desire to provide
a truthful account of reality. Yet it was nonetheless
believed by many Germans and therefore was for them
real andtruthful.
A key to understanding this world of anti-Semitic
fantasies is no longer to account for what
happenedthe administrative process of extermination,
the racial ideological indoctrination by the regime, and
the brutalizing warbecause we now have suffciently
good accounts of these historical realities. Rather, a key
is to account for what the Nazis thought was happening,
for how they imagined their world. What was this
fantasy created by Nazis and other Germans during the
Third Reich, and the story that went along with it, that
made the persecution and extermination of the Jews
justifable, conceivable, andimaginable?

A World Without Jews
The Nazi Imagination from Persecution to Genocide
Alon Confno
A groundbreaking reexamination of the
Holocaust and of how Germans understood
their genocidal project
Why exactly did the Nazis burn the Hebrew Bible
everywhere in Germany on November 9, 1938? The
perplexing event has not been adequately accounted
for by historians in their large-scale assessments of how
and why the Holocaust occurred. In this gripping new
analysis, Alon Confno draws on an array of archives
across three continents to propose a penetrating new
assessment of one of the central moral problems of
the twentieth century. To a surprising extent, Confno
demonstrates, the mass murder of Jews during the war
years was powerfully anticipated in the culture of the
prewaryears.
The author shifts his focus away from the debates
over what the Germans did or did not know about the
Holocaust and explores instead how Germans came to
conceive of the idea of a Germany without Jews. He
traces the stories the Nazis told themselveswhere they
came from and where they were headingand how
those stories led to the conclusion that Jews must be
eradicated in order for the new Nazi civilization to arise.
The creation of this new empire required that Jews and
Judaism be erased from Christian history, and this was
the inspirationand justifcationfor Kristallnacht. As
Germans imagined a future world without Jews, per-
secution and extermination became imaginable, and
evenjustifable.

Louisa Catherine
The Other Mrs. Adams
Margery M. Heffron
Edited by David L. Michelmore
The frst biography of John Quincy Adams
talented and spirited wife, the only frst lady
born outside the United States
Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, wife and political
partner of John Quincy Adams, became one of the
most widely known women in America when her hus-
band assumed offce as sixth president in 1825. Shrewd,
intellectual, and articulate, she was close to the center
of American power over many decades, and extensive
archives reveal her as an unparalleled observer of the
politics, personalities, and issues of her day. Louisa left
behind a trove of journals, essays, letters, and other
writings, yet no biographer has mined these riches until
now. Margery Heffron brings Louisa out of the shadows
at last to offer the frst full and nuanced portrait of an
extraordinary frstlady.
The book begins with Louisas early life in London and
Nantes, France, then details her excruciatingly awkward
courtship and engagement to John Quincy, her famous
diplomatic success in tsarist Russia, her life as a mother,
years abroad as the wife of a distinguished diplomat,
and fnally the Washington, D.C., era when, as a leg-
endary hostess, she made no small contribution to her
husbands successful bid for the White House. Louisas
sharp insights as a tireless recorder provide a fresh view
of early American democratic society, presidential poli-
tics and elections, and indeed every important political
and social issue of hertime.
The late MARGERY HEFFRON was an independent writer and
scholar. Her interest in Louisa Catherine Adams began in an encoun-
ter with an arresting portrait of Louisa at the Adams National
Historical Park in the 1970s: Her level, appraising glance challenged
me to pay her respect. This book is Heffrons answer to thatchallenge.
Richly detailed, evocative and wonderfully
intimate, Louisa Catherine is historical
biography at its best. The portraits of
John Quincy Adams and Louisaher
upbringing, his entrapment, their
courtship, the marriage, and beyond
seem to come straight out of a Jane
Austen novel. Painted on a broad canvas,
from Philadelphia to St. Petersburg,
this narrative will linger in the mind
long after reading.Nigel Hamilton,

Emperor of Liberty
Thomas Jeffersons Foreign Policy
Francis D. Cogliano
A dramatic reevaluation of Thomas Jeffersons
thinking on foreign policy and his record as
a statesman
This book, the frst in decades to closely examine
Thomas Jeffersons foreign policy, offers a compelling
reinterpretation of his attitudes and accomplishments
as a statesman during Americas early nationhood.
Beginning with Jeffersons disastrous stint as wartime
governor of Virginia during the American Revolution,
and proceeding to his later experiences as a diplomat
in France, Secretary of State, and U.S. Vice President,
historian Francis Cogliano considers how these var-
ied assignments shaped Jeffersons thinking about
international relations. The author then addresses
Jeffersons two terms as Presidenthis goals, the means
he employed to achieve them, and his fnal record as
astatesman.
Cogliano documents the evolution of Jeffersons atti-
tudes toward the use of force and the disposition of
state power. He argues that Jefferson, although idealis-
tic in the ends he sought to achieve, was pragmatic in
the means he employed. Contrary to received wisdom,
Jefferson was comfortable using deadly force when he
deemed it necessary and was consistent in his foreign
policy endsprioritizing defense of the American
republic above all else. His failures as a statesman
were, more often than not, the result of circumstances
beyond his control, notably the weakness of the fedg-
ling American republic in a world of warringempires.
FRANCIS D. COGLIANO is professor of American history and
Dean International for North America, University of Edinburgh.
He is author of Thomas Jefferson: Reputation and Legacy and editor
ofCompanion to Thomas Jefferson. He lives in Edinburgh, UK.
Incomparably the best study of Jeffersonian
statecraft, offering fresh perspectives on
Jeffersons approach to foreign policy
and his attitudes toward presidential
power and republican government....

The Double-Crested Cormorant
Plight of a Feathered Pariah
Linda R. Wires
With Original Illustrations by Barry Kent MacKay
The tragic history of the cormorants relations
with humans and the implications for todays
wildlife management policy
The double-crested cormorant, found only in North
America, is an iridescent black waterbird superbly
adapted to catch fsh. It belongs to a family of birds
vilifed since biblical times and persecuted around the
world. Thus it was perhaps to be expected that the frst
European settlers in North America quickly deemed the
double-crested cormorant a competitor for fshing stock
and undertook a relentless drive to destroy the birds.
This enormously important book explores the roots of
human-cormorant conficts, dispels myths about the
birds, and offers the frst comprehensive assessment of
the policies that have been developed to manage the
double-crested cormorant in the twenty-frstcentury.
Conservation biologist Linda Wires provides a unique
synthesis of the cultural, historical, scientifc, and polit-
ical elements of the cormorants story. She discusses the
amazing late-twentieth-century population recovery,
aided by protection policies and environment conser-
vation, but also the subsequent U.S. federal policies
under which hundreds of thousands of the birds have
been killed. In a critique of the science, management,
and ethics underlying the double-crested cormorants
treatment today, Wires exposes management as a
euphemism for persecution and shows that the current
strategies of aggressive predator control are outdated
and unsupported byscience.

Eryn Greens Eruv is the latest winner of the old-
est annual literary award in the United States, which
originated in 1919 to showcase the works of exceptional
American poets under the age of forty. Greenjoins an
esteemed roster of past winners that includes Adrienne

and as Carl Phillips, competition judge and chancel-
lor of the American Academy of Poets, points out, this
collection reminds us how essential wilderness is to
poetrya wilderness in terms of how form and lan-
guage both reinvent and get reinvented.
Taking its title from the Hebrew word for a ritual enclo-
sure that opens from private into public spaces, Eruv
includes poems of love, sadness, and pathos while cel-
ebrating the power of ritual and untamed landscapes.
Just as a larger home can be fashioned out of commu-

Becoming Freud
The Making of Psychoanalysis
Adam Phillips
From one of the worlds foremost authorities
on Sigmund Freud comes a strikingly original
biography of the father of psychoanalysis
Becoming Freudis the story of the young FreudFreud
up until the age of fftythat incorporates all of Freuds
many misgivings about the art of biography. Freud
invented a psychological treatment that involved the
telling and revising of life stories, but he was himself
skeptical of the writing of such stories. In this biography,
Adam Phillips, whom the New Yorker calls Britains
foremost psychoanalytical writer, emphasizes the
largely and inevitably undocumented story of Freuds
earliest years as the oldestand favoredson of Jewish
immigrants from Eastern Europe and suggests that the
psychoanalysis Freud invented was, among many other
things, a psychology of the immigrantincreasingly, of
course, everybodys status in the modernworld.
Psychoanalysis was also Freuds way of coming to
terms with the fate of the Jews in Europe in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. So as well as
incorporating the writings of Freud and his contempo-
raries, Becoming Freud also uses the work of historians
of the Jews in Europe in this signifcant period in their
lives, a period of unprecedented political freedom and
mounting persecution. Phillips concludes by speculat-
ing what psychoanalysis might have become if Freud
had died in 1906, before the emergence of a psychoana-
lytic movement over which he had topreside.
ADAM PHILLIPS is former Principal Child Psychotherapist at

Jabotinsky
Hillel Halkin
An insightful new biography of the most
controversial and perhaps most dedicated of all
Zionist political fgures
Vladimir Jabotinsky (18801940) was a man of huge
paradoxes and contradictions and is one of the most
misunderstood Zionist political leadersa frst-rate
novelist, a celebrated Russian journalist, and founder
of the branch of Zionism now headed by Benjamin
Netanyahu. This biography, the frst in English in
more than two decades, undertakes to answer central
questions about Jabotinsky as a man, a political thinker,
and a leader. Hillel Halkin sets aside the stereotypes
Jabotinsky has been reduced to, and reveals the public
fgure and private man who inspired both deep devo-
tion and furious protest.
Halkin explores Jabotinskys great writing talent, rela-
tionship with his hometown, Odessa, and the personal
sacrifces he made as leader in the 1920s and 1930s of
the Revisionist Party, the main right-wing force of the
Zionist movement. Halkin also addresses Jabotinskys
position, unique among the great fgures of Zionist
history, as both a territorial maximalist and a passion-
ate believer in democracy. The author inquires why
Jabotinsky was often accused of fascist tendencies even
though he abhorred authoritarian and totalitarian poli-
tics, and how he could argue fervently in favor of free
enterprise while also supporting an extensive welfare
state. Few fgures in twentieth-century Jewish life were
quite so admired and loathed, and Halkins splendid,
subtle book explores him with empathy andlucidity.
HILLEL HALKIN is a writer, critic, and translator. He is the author
of Across the Sabbath River and Yehuda Halevi, both of which won
the National Jewish Book Award. His most recent book is Melisande!

Experts believe that Brazil, the worlds ffth largest
country and its seventh largest economy, will be one
of the most important global powers by the year 2030.
Yet far more attention has been paid to the other rising
behemoths Russia, India, and China. Often ignored
and underappreciated, Brazil, according to renowned,

challenges before it becomes a nation of substantial
globalsignifcance.
After decades of military rule, the fourth most popu-
lous democracy enjoyed effective reformist leadership
that tamed infation, opened the country up to trade,
and addressed poverty and other social issues, enabling
Brazil to become more of an essential participant in
global affairs. But as it prepares to host the 2014 soc-
cer World Cup and 2016 Olympics, Brazil has been
rocked by mass protest. This insightful volume consid-
ers the nations still abundant problemsan ineffcient

ments to provide a fully rounded portrait of a vibrant
country about to take a commanding position on the

Why Liberal Education Matters
Michael S. Roth
An eloquent defense of liberal education, seen
against the backdrop of its contested history
in America
Contentious debates over the beneftsor draw-
backsof a liberal education are as old as America itself.
From Benjamin Franklin to the Internet pundits, critics
of higher education have attacked its irrelevance and
elitismoften calling for more vocational instruction.
Thomas Jefferson, by contrast, believed that nurtur-
ing a students capacity for lifelong learning was useful
for science and commerce while also being essential
for democracy. In this provocative contribution to
the disputes, university president Michael S. Roth
focuses on important moments and seminal thinkers
in Americas long-running argument over vocational vs.
liberaleducation.
Conficting streams of thought fow through American
intellectual history: W. E. B. Du Boiss humanistic
principles of pedagogy for newly emancipated slaves
developed in opposition to Booker T. Washingtons
educational utilitarianism, for example. Jane Addamss
emphasis on the cultivation of empathy and John
Deweys calls for education as civic engagement were
rejected as impractical by those who aimed to train stu-
dents for particular economic tasks. Roth explores these
arguments (and more), considers the state of higher
education today, and concludes with a stirring plea for
the kind of education that has, since the founding of
the nation, cultivated individual freedom, promulgated
civic virtue, and instilled hope for thefuture.
MICHAEL S. ROTH is president of Wesleyan University and the
author of fve books of intellectual history, most recently Memory,
Trauma and History. A professor in history and the humanities, he
teaches at Wesleyan and reaches many thousands more through his
open online Coursera course, The Modern and the Post-Modern.
A seamless integration of some very
old-fashioned and very progressive values.

yet simultaneously high-minded. Roth
strikes exactly the right tone.AnthonyT.

The Literary Churchill
Writer, Reader, Actor
Jonathan Rose
A transformative portrait of Churchill, whose
loveof history, theater, and reading was
inextricably linked to his life as a statesman
This strikingly original book introduces a Winston
Churchill we have not known before. Award-winning
author Jonathan Rose explores in tandem Churchills
careers as statesman and author, revealing the pro-
found infuence of literature and theater on Churchills
personal, carefully composed grand story and on the
decisions he made throughout his politicallife.
Rose provides in this expansive literary biography an
analysis of Churchills writings and their reception (he
won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 and was
a best-selling author), and a chronicle of his dealings
with publishers, editors, literary agents, and censors.
The book also identifes an array of authors who shaped
Churchills own writings and politics: George Bernard
Shaw, H. G. Wells, Margaret Mitchell, George Orwell,
Oscar Wilde, and many more. Rose investigates the
effect of Churchills passion for theater on his approach
to reportage, memoirs, and historical works. Perhaps
most remarkably, Rose reveals the unmistakable infu-
ence of Churchills reading on every important episode
of his public life, including his championship of social
reform, plans for the Gallipoli invasion, command dur-
ing the Blitz, crusade for Zionism, and efforts to prevent
a nuclear arms race. In a fascinating conclusion, Rose
traces the signifcance of Churchills writings to later
generations of politicians, among them President John
F. Kennedy as he struggled to extricate the U.S. from
the Cuban MissileCrisis.
JONATHAN ROSE is William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of History,

History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing and is co-editor of the

Voyaging in Strange Seas
The Great Revolution in Science
David Knight
An ambitious, landmark history of the Scientifc
Revolution, from the age of Columbus to the
age of Cook
In 1492 Columbus set out across the Atlantic; in 1776
American colonists declared their independence.
Between these two events old authorities col-
lapsedLuthers Reformation divided churches, and
various discoveries revealed the ignorance of the ancient
Greeks and Romans. A new, empirical worldview had
arrived, focusing now on observation, experiment, and
mathematicalreasoning.
This engaging book takes us along on the great voyage
of discovery that ushered in the modern age. David
Knight, a distinguished historian of science, locates the
Scientifc Revolution in the great era of global oceanic
voyages, which became both a spur to and a metaphor
for scientifc discovery. He introduces the well-known
heroes of the story (Galileo, Newton, Linnaeus) as well
as lesser-recognized offcers of scientifc societies, print-
ers and booksellers who turned scientifc discovery into
public knowledge, and editors who invented the scien-
tifc journal. Knight looks at a striking array of topics,
from better maps to more accurate clocks, from a boom
in printing to medical advancements. He portrays sci-
ence and religion as engaged with each other rather
than in constant confict; in fact, science was often
perceived as a way to uncover and celebrate Gods mys-
teries and laws. Populated with interesting characters,
enriched with fascinating anecdotes, and built upon an
acute understanding of the era, this book tells a story as
thrilling as any in humanhistory.
DAVID KNIGHT is Emeritus Professor of History & Philosophy of
Science, Durham University, and former editor of the British Journal

material for a wide variety of wildlife, contribute nutri-
ents to the soil, and are indicators of both undisturbed
ecosystems and clean air. They lend color and pattern
to trees, shrubs, and rocks, yet most people know little
about them. This richly illustrated, authoritative guide
to the lichens of California draws new attention to these
striking and ecologically important organisms, which
are symbiontsrepresenting a relationship between a
fungus and algaand highlights their beauty, diversity,
and value as a naturalresource.
Lichens are especially abundant and varied in
California, where climates range from temperate
rainforests to arid deserts. A Field Guide to California
Lichens features stunning new photographs of some
500 lichen species by award-winning nature photog-
rapher Stephen Sharnoff. Up-to-date descriptions
accompany each illustration. Among the special contri-
butions of the guide are its coverage of most common
macrolichens in California and its inclusion of many
of the crust-forming species. For land management
professionals and scientists involved with ecosystem
studies, for birders, hikers, and all others curious about
the natural world around them, this book will be a wel-
come feldcompanion.
STEPHEN SHARNOFF is research associate at the Missouri
Botanical Garden and the University and Jepson Herbaria, University
of California, Berkeley. A renowned nature photographer best known
for his contributions to the defnitive reference Lichens of North
America, he is currently at work on a guidebook to the wildfowers of
the Sierra Nevada. He lives in Berkeley, CA.
Finally... a guidebook covering
the fantastic California lichens with
beautiful, full-color photographs!

The Uncanny Era
Conversations between Vaclav Havel and Adam Michnik
Edited, translated, and with an introduction by Elzbieta Matynia
The frst publication in book form of the
historic postrevolution conversations between
activist playwright and Czech president Vaclav
Havel and Polish journalist Adam Michnik
Czech playwright and dissident Vaclav Havel frst
encountered Polish historian and dissident Adam
Michnik in 1978 at a clandestine meeting on a mountain-
top along the Polish-Czechoslovak border. This initial
meeting of two extraordinary thinkers who plotted
democracy, and designed an effective peaceful strategy
for dismantling authoritarian regimes in Central and
Eastern Europe, resulted in a lifelong friendship and an
extraordinary set of bold conversations conducted over
the next two postrevolutionarydecades.
Havel, president of Czechoslovakia and later the Czech
Republic, and Michnik, editor-in-chief of the largest
daily newspaper in the region, provide rare insights into
the post-1989 challenges to building new democratic
institutions and new habits in the context of an increas-
ingly unsettling political culture. With both dismay and
humor, their fascinating exchanges wrestle with the
essential question of postrevolutionary life: How does
one preserve the revolutions ideals in the real world?
At once historically immediate and politically univer-
sal, the Havel-Michnik conversations have never before
been collected in a single volume in anylanguage.
ADAM MICHNIK is editor-in-chief of the Warsaw daily newspaper
Gazeta Wyborcza. Writer and dramatist VACLAV HAVEL (1936
2011) was the last president of Czechoslovakia and the frst president
of the Czech Republic. ELZBIETA MATYNIA is professor of sociol-
ogy at the New School for Social Research in New York City and at the
University of Lower Silesia in Wroclaw, Poland.

The Trouble with History
Morality, Revolution, and Counterrevolution
Adam Michnik
Edited by Irena Grudzinska Gross; Translated by Elzbieta Matynia, Agnieszka Marczyk, and
Roman Czarny; Foreword by James Davison Hunter and John M. Owen IV
A brilliant meditation on politics, morality, and
history from one of the most courageous and
controversial authors of our age
Renowned Eastern European author Adam Michnik
was jailed for more than six years by the communist
regime in Poland for his dissident activities. He was an
outspoken voice for democracy in the world divided by
the Iron Curtain and has remained so to the present
day. In this thoughtful and provocative work, the man
the Financial Times named one of the 20 most infu-
ential journalists in the world strips fundamentalism
of its religious component and examines it purely as a
secular politicalphenomenon.
Comparing modern-day Poland with postrevolution-
ary France, Michnik offers a stinging critique of the
ideological virus of fundamentalism often shared by
emerging democracies: the belief that, by using tech-
niques of intimidating public opinion, a state governed
by sinless individuals armed with a doctrine of the
only correct means of organizing human relations
can build a world without sin. Michnik employs deep
historical analysis and keen political observation in
his insightful fve-point philosophical meditation on
morality in public life, ingeniously expounding on his-
tory, religion, moral thought, and the present political
climate in his native country and throughoutEurope.
ADAM MICHNIK is editor-in-chief of the Warsaw daily newspa-
per Gazeta Wyborcza. He is a recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy
Human Rights Award, the Imre Nagy Award, and the Goethe Prize,
among many other honors. His previous books include Letters from
Prison, Letters from Freedom, and In Search of Lost Meaning: The
New Eastern Europe. IRENA GRUDZINSKA GROSS teaches East
European literature at Princeton University. Her most recent books
are Golden Harvest with Jan T. Gross and Czeslaw Milosz and Joseph
Brodsky: Fellowship ofPoets.

The ONeill
The Transformation of Modern American Theater
Jeffrey Sweet
Forewords by Michael Douglas and Meryl Streep
A lavishly illustrated celebration of the ffty-
year history of the most infuential theatrical
organization in America, the ONeill
Theater Center
At the ONeill, we were all engaged with full-hearted
passion in sometimes the silliest of exercises, and all in
service of fnding that wiggly, elusive creature, a new
play.Meryl Streep
I would not be who or where I am today without the
ONeill.Michael Douglas
As the old ways of the commercial theater were dying
and American playwriting was in crisis, the Eugene
ONeill Theater Center arose as a midwife to new
plays and musicals, introducing some of the most
exciting talents of our time (including August Wilson,
Wendy Wasserstein, and Christopher Durang) and
developing works that went on to win Pulitzer Prizes
and Tony Awards. Along the way, it collaborated with
then-unknown performers (like Meryl Streep, Michael
Douglas, Courtney Vance, and Angela Bassett)
and inspired Robert Redford in his creation of the
Sundance Institute. This is the story of a theatrical labo-
ratory, a place that transformed American theater, flm,
andtelevision.
JEFFREY SWEET is an award-winning playwright and theater histo-
rian whose previous books include Something Wonderful Right Away,
a history of the famed Second City improvisational theater. He serves
on the Council of the Dramatists Guild and is one of the most active
participants in the Chicago theaterrenaissance.

The Great War for Peace
William Mulligan
A new look at the legacy of WWI, a war
fought for peace yet followed by a century of
devastating violence
The war to end all wars rings out a bitter mockery
of the First World War, often viewed as the seminal
catastrophe of the twentieth century, the crucible from
which Soviet, Fascist, and Nazi dictatorships emerged.
Todays conventional wisdom is that the Great War
attuned the world to large-scale slaughter, that post-war
efforts directed by the Treaty at Versailles were botched,
that unbridled new nationalisms made the Second
World Warinevitable.
This provocative book refutes such interpretations,
arguing instead that the frst two decades of the
twentieth centuryand the First World War in particu-
larplayed an essential part in the construction of a
peaceful new order on a global scale. Historian William
Mulligan takes an entirely fresh look at the aspirations
of statesmen, soldiers, intellectuals, and civilians who
participated in the war and at the new ideas about peace
that were forged. While the hope for ultimate peace
may have legitimized and even intensifed the vio-
lence of the war, it also broadened conventional ideas
about international politics and led to the emergence
of such institutions as the League of Nations and the
International Labour Organization. The experience of
the First World War reinforced humanitarian concerns
in political life and focused attention on building a
better and more peaceful world order, Mulligan shows.
Such issues resonate still in the political and diplomatic
debates oftoday.

Other Peoples Houses
How Decades of Bailouts, Captive Regulators, and Toxic
Bankers Made Home Mortgages a Thrilling Business
Jennifer Taub
The clearest explanation yet of how the
fnancial crisis of 2008developed and why it
could happen again
In the wake of the fnancial meltdown in 2008, many
claimed that it had been inevitable, that no one saw it
coming, and that subprime borrowers were to blame.
This accessible, thoroughly researched book is Jennifer
Taubs response to such unfounded claims. Drawing
on wide-ranging experience as a corporate lawyer,
investment frm counsel, and scholar of business law
and fnancial market regulation, Taub chronicles how
government offcials helped bankers infate the toxic-
mortgage-backed housing bubble, then after the bubble
burst ignored the plight of millions of homeowners sud-
denly facingforeclosure.
Focusing new light on the similarities between the
savings and loan debacle of the 1980s and the fnan-
cial crisis in 2008, Taub reveals that in both cases the
same reckless banks, operating under different names,
received government bailouts, while the same lax regu-
lators overlooked fraud and abuse. Furthermore, in
2013 the situation is essentially unchanged. The author
asserts that the 2008 crisis was not just similar to the
S&L scandal, it was a severe relapse of the same under-
lying disease. And despite modest regulatory reforms,
the disease remains uncured: top banks remain too big
to manage, too big to regulate, and too big tofail.

Hans Christian Andersen
European Witness
Paul Binding
A new account of the brilliant and prolifc
Danish writer whose works captivated readers
across Europe
Rarely does an American or European child grow up
without an introduction to Hans Christian Andersens
The Ugly Duckling, The Princess and the Pea, or
Thumbelina. Andersen began publishing his fairy
tales in 1835, and they brought him almost immediate
acclaim among Danish and German readers, followed
quickly by the French, Swedes, Swiss, Norwegians,
British, and Americans. Ultimately he wrote more than
150 tales. And yet, Paul Binding contends in this inci-
sive book, Andersen cannot be confned to the category
of writings for children. His work stands at the very
heart of mainstream Europeanliterature.
The author considers the entire scope of Andersens
prose, from his juvenilia to his very last story. He shows
that Andersens numerous novels, travelogues, autobi-
ographies, and even his fairy tales (notably addressed
not to children but to adults) earned a vast audience
because they distilled the satisfactions, tensions, hopes,
and fears of Europeans as their continent emerged
from the Napoleonic Wars. The book sheds new light
on Andersen as an intellectual, his rise to international
stardom, and his connections with other eminent
European writers. It also pays tribute to Andersens
enlightened valuesvalues that ensure the continuing
appeal of hisworks.
PAUL BINDING is a leading British literary critic and novelist and
a renowned expert in Scandinavian literature. Among his books are
studies of Ibsen, Lorca, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Eudora Welty.
He lives in Shropshire, UK.

Wildcat Currency
How the Virtual Money Revolution Is Transforming the Economy
Edward Castronova
An intriguing look at the exploding phenomenon
of unregulated private currencies and how they
will change our economy forever
Private currencies have always existed, from notes
printed by individual banks to the S&H Green Stamps
that consumers once redeemed for household items.
Todays economy has seen an explosion of new forms of
monetary exchange not created by the federal govern-
ment. Credit card companies offer points that can be
traded in for a variety of goods and services, from air-
line miles to online store credit. Online game creators
have devised new mediums of electronic exchange that
turn virtual money into real money. Meanwhile, real
money is increasingly going digital, where it competes
with private currencies like Bitcoin. The virtual and
the real economic worlds are intermingling more than
ever before, raising the possibility that this new money
might eventually replace the government-run system of
dollars, euros, andyen.
Edward Castronova is the leading researcher in this
feld, a founder of scholarly online game studies and
an expert on the economies of virtual worlds. In this
dynamic and essential work, he explores the current
phenomenon of virtual currencies and what it will
mean legally, politically, and economically in the
future. In doing so, he provides a fascinating, often sur-
prising discourse on the meaning of money itselfwhat
it is, what we think it is, and how we relate to it on an
emotionallevel.
EDWARD CASTRONOVA is professor of telecommunications and
cognitive science at Indiana University. His previous publications
include Synthetic Worlds and Exodus to the Virtual World. He lives
in Bloomington, IN.
This is one of the most accessible books
on economics that I have read....

Hard Times
The Devastating Toll of the Economic Slump
Tom Clark with Anthony Heath
An analysis of the enduring social costs of the
post-2008 economic crisis
2008 was a watershed year for global fnance. The bank-
ing system was eventually pulled back from the brink,
but the world was saddled with the worst slump since
the 1930s Depression, and millions were left unem-
ployed. While numerous books have addressed the
fnancial crisis, very little has been written about its
socialconsequences.
Journalist Tom Clark draws on the research of a trans-
atlantic team led by Professors Anthony Heath and
Robert D. Putnam to determine the great recessions
toll on individuals, families, and community bonds
in the United States and the United Kingdom. The
ubiquitous metaphor of the crisis has been an all-
encompassing fnancial storm, but Clark argues that
the data tracks the narrow path of a tornadodestroy-
ing some neighborhoods while leaving others largely
untouched. In our vastly unequal societies, dispropor-
tionate suffering is being meted out to the poorand
the books new analysis suggests that the scars left by
unemployment and poverty will linger long after the
economyrecovers.
Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic have shown
more interest in exploiting the divisions of opinion
ushered in by the slump than in grappling with these
problems. But this hard-hitting analysis provides a
wake-up call that all shouldheed.
TOM CLARK writes daily editorials on politics, economics, and
social affairs for The Guardian in London. ANTHONY HEATH is
professor of sociology, University of Manchester, and emeritus profes-
sor at the University of Oxford. In 2013, he was honored with a CBE
in the Queens Birthday HonoursList.

Making Make-Believe Real
Politics as Theater in Shakespeares Time
Garry Wills
A penetrating study of the images, symbols,
pageants, and creative performances ambitious
Elizabethans used to secure political power
Shakespeares plays abound with kings and leaders
who crave a public stage and seize every opportunity
to make their lives a performance: Antony, Cleopatra,
Richard III, Othello, and many others. Such self-
dramatizing characters appear in the work of other
playwrights of the era as well, Marlowes Edward II
and Tamburlaine among them. But Elizabethan play-
wrights were not alone in realizing that a sense of
theater was essential to the exercise of power. Real rul-
ers knew it, too, and none better than Queen Elizabeth.
In this fascinating study of political stagecraft in the
Elizabethan era, Garry Wills explores a period of vast
cultural and political change during which the power
of make-believe to make power real was not just a the-
ory but an essentialtruth.
Wills examines English culture as Catholic Christianitys
rituals were being overturned and a Protestant queen
took the throne. New iconographies of power were
necessary for the new Renaissance liturgy to displace
the medieval church-state. The author illuminates
the extensive imaginative constructions that went into
Elizabeths reign and the explosion of great Tudor and
Stuart drama that provided the imaginative power to
support her long and successfulrule.
GARRY WILLS, Emeritus Professor of History at Northwestern
University, is an author, journalist, and historian. Among his nearly
forty books are the Pulitzer Prizewinning Lincoln at Gettysburg:
The Words That Remade America, and Inventing America: Jeffersons
Declaration of Independence, a National Book Critics Circle Award

The Taliban Revival
Violence and Extremism on the Pakistan-Afghanistan Frontier
Hassan Abbas
The true story of the Talibans remarkable
resurgence in Pakistan and war-torn
Afghanistan more than a decade after the U.S.
militarys post-9/11 incursion
In autumn 2001, U.S. and NATO troops were deployed
to Afghanistan to unseat the Taliban rulers, repressive
Islamic fundamentalists who had lent active support
to Osama bin Ladens Al-Qaeda jihadists. The NATO
forces defeated and dismantled the Taliban govern-
ment, scattering its remnants across the country. But
despite a more than decade-long attempt to eradicate
them, the Taliban enduredregrouping and reestab-
lishing themselves as a signifcant insurgent movement.
Gradually they have regained control of large portions
of Afghanistan even as U.S. troops are preparing to
depart from theregion.
In his authoritative and highly readable account,
author Hassan Abbas examines how the Taliban not
only survived but adapted to their situation in order to
regain power and political advantage. Abbas traces the
roots of religious extremism in the area and analyzes
the Talibans support base within Pakistans Federally
Administered Tribal Areas. In addition, he explores the
roles that Western policies and military decision mak-
ingnot to mention corruption and incompetence in
Kabulhave played in enabling the Talibans return
topower.

Severina
Rodrigo Rey Rosa
Translated by Chris Andrews
A new translation of the Guatemalan author
whom Roberto Bolao called the most
rigorous writer of my generation, the most
transparent . . . the most luminous of all.
Right from the start I picked her for a thief, although
that day she didnt take anything.... I knew shed be
back, the narrator/bookseller of Severina recalls in
this novels opening pages. Imagine a dark-haired book
thief as alluring as she is dangerous. Imagine the mes-
merized bookseller secretly tracking the volumes she
steals, hoping for insight into her character, her motives,
her love life. In Rodrigo Rey Rosas hands, this tale of
obsessive love is told with almost breathless precision
and economy. The bookstore owner is soon entangled
in Severinas mystery: seductive and peripatetic, of
uncertain nationality, she steals books to actually read
them and to share with her purported grandfather,
SeorBlanco.
In this unsettling exploration of the alienating and
simultaneously liberating power of love, the booksell-
ers monotonous existence is rocked by the enigmatic
Severina. As in a dream, the disoriented man fnds that
the thin border between rational and irrational is no
longer reliable. Severina confrms Rey Rosas privileged
place in contemporary worldliterature.
RODRIGO REY ROSA is author of many works of fction, including
Dust on Her Tongue, The Beggars Knife, and The Pelcari Project, all

Winter Mythologies and Abbots
Pierre Michon
Translated by Ann Jefferson
Michons exquisite short narratives transport us
to the heart of the Middle Ages as witnesses to
the double-edged power of belief
This welcome volume brings to English-language read-
ers two beautifully crafted works by the internationally
acclaimed French author Pierre Michon. Populated
by distant and little-known fguresIrish and French
monks, saints, and scientists in Winter Mythologies;
Benedictine monks in the Gvaudin region of France
in Abbotsthe tales frequently draw on obscure histo-
ries and other literarysources.
Michon brings his characters to life in spare, evocative
prose. Each, in his or her own way, exemplifes a power
of belief that brings about an achievementor catas-
trophein the real world: monasteries are built upon
impossibly muddy wastes, monks acquire the power
of speech, lives are taken, books are written, saints are
created on the fimsiest of evidence. Michons explora-
tion in ancient archives has led him to the discovery
of such often deluded fgures and their deeds, and his
own exceptional powers bestow upon them a renewed
life on the written page. This in turn is an example of
the power of belief, which for Michon is what makes
literature itself possible. Winter Mythologies and Abbots
are meant to be read slowly, to be savored, to be mined

Trans-Atlantyk
An Alternate Translation
Witold Gombrowicz
Translated by Danuta Borchardt
A brilliant, semiautobiographical satirical
novelfrom one of the foremost fgures in
twentieth-century Polish literature, now in
anew English translation
Considered by many to be among the greatest writ-
ers of the past hundred years, Polish novelist Witold
Gombrowicz explores the modern predicament of
exile and displacement in a disintegrating world in
his acclaimed classic Trans-Atlantyk. Gombrowiczs
most personal noveland arguably his most iconoclas-
ticTrans-Atlantyk is written in the style of a gaweda,
a tale told by the freside in a language that originated
in the seventeenth century. It recounts the often farci-
cal adventures of a penniless young writer stranded in
Argentina when the Nazis invade his homeland, and
his subsequent adoption by the Polish embassy staff
and migrcommunity.
Based loosely on Gombrowiczs own experiences as
an expatriate, Trans-Atlantyk is steeped in humor and
sharply pointed satire, interlaced with dark visions of
war and its horrors, that entreats the individual and soci-
ety in general to rise above the suffocating constraints
of nationalistic, sexual, and patriotic mores.The novels
themes are universal and its execution ingeniousa
masterwork of twentieth-century literary art from an
author whom John Updike called one of the profound-
est of the late moderns.
WITOLD GOMBROWICZ (19041969) is the author of four novels,
several plays, and one major nonfction work. He was the recipient
of the prestigious International Editors Award in 1967. DANUTA
BORCHARDT is an award-winningtranslator.
Having this book in my hands, I felt a joy
at the thought that strong personalities,
like that of Gombrowicz, sooner or later
fnd recognition thanks to the sheer
intensity of their existence.Czeslaw
Milosz, New York Times

Walpurgis Night, or the Steps of the Commander
Venedikt Erofeev
Translated by Marian Schwartz
The frst major English translation of a
masterful seriocomic theatrical work by one of
the most prominent writers of the Soviet epoch
Walpurgis Night, by acclaimed Russian writer Venedikt
Erofeev, is considered a classic in the playwrights home-
land. Erofeevs dark and funny fve-act satire of Soviet
repression has been called the comic high-water mark
of the Brezhnev era. Walpurgis Night dramatizes the
outrageous trials of Lev Isakovich Gurevich, an alco-
holic half-Jewish dissident poet confned by the state
to a hospital for the insane. In Ward 3a microcosm
of repressive Soviet societyGurevich deploys his bril-
liant wit and ingenuity to bedevil his jailers, defend his
fellow inmates, protest his incarceration, and generally
create mayhem, which ultimately leads to a tragedy of
Shakespeareanproportions.
VENEDIKT EROFEEV (19381990) was prominent in the Russian
postmodernism movement and a major literary fgure in Soviet under-
ground culture. His prose poem, Moscow to the End of the Line, has
been translated into numerous languages. MARIAN SCHWARTZ is
a prizewinning translator of Russian fction, history, biography, criti-
cism, and fneart.

The Last Lover
Can Xue
Translated by Annelise Finegan Wasmoen
From the sensational Chinese author who has
been called a new world master, a Kafkaesque
novel set in a fctional Western nation
In Can Xues extraordinary book, we encounter a full
assemblage of husbands, wives, and lovers. Entwined
in complicated, often tortuous relationships, these
characters step into each others fantasies, carrying on
conversations that are forever guessing games. Their
journeys reveal the deepest realms of human desire,
figured in Can Xues vision of snakes and wasps,
crows, cats, mice, earthquakes, and landslides. In
dive bars and twisted city streets, on deserts and
snowcapped mountains, the author creates an
extreme world where every character is driving
death away with a singular performance.
Who is the last lover? The novel is bursting with vividly
drawn characters. Among them are Joe, sales man-
ager of a clothing company in an unnamed Western
country, and his wife, Maria, who conducts mystical
experiments with the households cats and rosebushes.
Joes customer Reagan is having an affair with Ida, a
worker at his rubber plantation, while clothing-store
owner Vincent runs away from his wife in pursuit of a
woman in black who disappears over and over again. By
the novels end, we have accompanied these characters
on a long march, a naive, helpless, and forsaken search
for love, because there are just some things that cant be
stoppedorhelped.
CAN XUE, pseudonym of Deng Xiaohua, is the author of many nov-
els, volumes of literary criticism, and short works of fction. Formerly
a tailor, she began writing fction in 1983. The Last Lover is her sec-
ond novel to appear in English. She lives in Beijing. ANNELISE
FINEGAN WASMOEN, an editor and literary translator, is pursuing

Mr. Rojas includes a number of shrewd homages to his subject, from

used in his dramas. But more important, this moving tribute cuts to the
heart of the dichotomy of the poets troubled immortality.Sam Sacks,

Stephen Long, Consulting Editor
An appreciation of the beautiful, iconic, and
endangered Eastern Hemlock and what it
means to nature and society
The Eastern Hemlock, massive and majestic, has played
a unique role in structuring northeastern forest environ-
ments, from Nova Scotia to Wisconsin and through the
Appalachian Mountains to North Carolina, Tennessee,
and Alabama. A foundation species infuencing all
the species in the ecosystem surrounding it, this iconic
North American tree has long inspired poets and artists
as well as naturalists andscientists.
Five thousand years ago, the hemlock collapsed as a
result of abrupt global climate change. Now this iconic
tree faces extinction once again because of an inva-
sive insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid. Drawing from
a century of studies at Harvard Universitys Harvard
Forest, one of the most well-regarded long-term ecolog-
ical research programs in North America, the authors
explore what hemlocks modern decline can tell us
about the challenges facing nature and society in an
era of habitat changes and fragmentation, as well as
globalchange.

Saving the Worlds Deciduous Forests
Ecological Perspectives from East Asia, North America,
and Europe
Robert A. Askins
Deciduous forests have been remarkably resilient throughout their history,
recovering from major shifts in climate and surviving periods of massive
deforestation. But today the worlds great forests confront more ominous
threats than ever before. This visionary book is the frst to examine for-
ests consisting of oaks, maples, hickories, beeches, chestnuts, birches and
ecologically similar animals and plants on three continentsEast Asia,
Europe, and North Americato reveal their common origin back in time,
the ecological patterns they share, and the approaches to conservation
that have been attempted on theirbehalf.
Although these forests face common problems, threats due to human
activities vary. Different land use and agricultural practices on the three
continents, as well as different attitudes about what is worth preserving,
have led to strikingly different approaches to forest conservation. Robert
Askins explores the strengths and weaknesses of conservation efforts
across the continents and concludes that the ideal strategy for the future
will blend the best ideas fromeach.

A Golden Weed
Tobacco and Environment in the Piedmont South
Drew A. Swanson
Drew A. Swanson has written an environmental history about a crop
of great historical and economic signifcance: American tobacco. A pre-
ferred agricultural product for much of the South, the tobacco plant
would ultimately degrade the land that nurtured it, but as the author pro-
vocatively argues, the choice of crop initially made perfect agrarian as
well as fnancial sense for southernplanters.
Swanson, who brings to his narrative the experience of having grown up
on a working Virginia tobacco farm, explores how one attempt at agri-
cultural permanence went seriously awry. He weaves together social,
agricultural, and cultural history of the Piedmont region and illustrates
how ideas about race and landscape management became entangled
under slavery and afterward. Challenging long-held perceptions, this
innovative study examines not only the material relationships that con-
nected crop, land, and people but also the justifcations that encouraged
tobacco farming in theregion.
DREW A. SWANSON is assistant professor of history at Wright State University in
Fairborn, Ohio, where he teaches environmentalhistory.

The Gardens of the British Working Class
Margaret Willes
This magnifcently illustrated peoples history celebrates the extraordinary
feats of cultivation by the working class in Britain, even if the land they
toiled, planted, and loved was not their own. Spanning more than four
centuries, from the earliest records of the laboring classes in the coun-
try to today, Margaret Willess researchunearths lush gardens nurtured
outside rough workers cottages and horticultural miracles performed in
blackened yards, and reveals the ingenious, sometimes devious, meth-
ods employed by determined, obsessive, and eccentric workers to make
their drab surroundings bloom. She also explores the stories of the great
philanthropic industrialists who provided gardens for their workforces,
the fashionable rich stealing the gardening ideas of the poor, alehouse
syndicates and ferce rivalries between vegetable growers, fower-fanciers
cultivating exotic blooms on their city windowsills, and the rich lore
handed down from gardener to gardener through generations. This is a
sumptuous record of the myriad ways in which the popular cultivation
of plants, vegetables, and fowers has playedand continues to playan
integral role in everyday Britishlife.

A Changing Wind
Commerce and Confict in Civil War Atlanta
Wendy Hamand Venet
Acompelling exploration of what real life was
like for residents of Civil Warera Atlanta
In 1845, Atlanta was the last stop at the end of a railroad
line, the home of just twelve families and three general
stores. By the 1860s, it was a thriving Confederate city,
second only to Richmond in importance. A Changing
Wind is the frst history to explore the experiences of
Atlantas civilians during the young citys rapid growth,
the devastation of the Civil War, and the Reconstruction
era when Atlanta emerged as a New South city.
A Changing Wind vividly brings to life the stories of
Atlantas diverse citizenswhite and black, free and
enslaved, well-to-do and everyday people. A rich and
compelling account of residents changing loyalties to
the Union and the Confederacy, the book highlights
the unequal economic and social impacts of the war,
General Shermans siege, and the stunning rebirth of
the city in postwar years. The fnal chapter of the book
focuses on Atlantas historical memory of the Civil War
and how racial divisions have led to separate commem-
orations of the warsmeaning.

In the late 1830s, Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist, poet, lec-
turer, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement, publicly called for
a radical nationwide vocational reinvention, and an idealistic group of
collegians eagerly responded. Assuming the role of mentor, editor, and
promoter, Emerson freely offered them his time, fnancial support, and
anti-materialistic counsel, and profoundly shaped the careers of his young
acolytesincluding Henry David Thoreau, renowned journalist and
womens rights advocate Margaret Fuller, and lesser-known literary fg-

The Humanist Comedy
Alexander Welsh
For about three thousand years comedy has applied a welcome humanist
perspective to the worlds religious beliefs and practices. From the ancient
Greek comedies of Aristophanes, the famous poem by Lucretius, and
dialogues of Cicero to early modern and Enlightenment essays and philo-
sophical texts, together with the inherent skepticism about life after death
in tragicomedies by Plautus, Shakespeare, Molire, and nineteenth-cen-
tury novels by such as Dickens and Hugo, the literary critic and historian
Alexander Welsh analyzes the prevalence of openness of mind and reliev-
ing good humor in Western thought.The Humanist Comedy concludes
with close examination of a postmodern novel by the Nobel Prize winner
JosSaramago.
ALEXANDER WELSH is Emily Sanford Professor Emeritus of English Literature
at Yale University. His many publications include The City of Dickens, Refections
on the Hero as Quixote, and Hamlet in His Modern Guises. He lives in Bethany, CT.
Tainted Glory in Handels Messiah
The Unsettling History of the Worlds Most Beloved Choral Work
Michael Marissen
An eye-opening reexamination of Handels
beloved religious oratorio
Every Easter, audiences across the globe thrill to per-
formances of Handels Hallelujah Chorus, but they
would probably be appalled to learn the full extent of
the oratorios anti-Judaic message. In this pioneering
study, respected musicologist Michael Marissen exam-
ines Handels masterwork and uncovers a disturbing
message of anti-Judaism buried within its joyous cel-
ebration of the divinity of theChrist.
Discovering previously unidentifed historical source
materials enabled the author to investigate the cir-
cumstances that led to the creation of the Messiah and
expose the hateful sentiments masked by magnifcent
musical artistryincluding the famed Hallelujah
Chorus, which rejoices in the dashing to pieces of
Gods enemies, among them the people of Israel.
Marissens fascinating, provocative work offers musical
scholars and general readers alike an unsettling new
appreciation of one of the worlds best-loved and most
widely performedworks of religiousmusic.
MICHAEL MARISSEN is the Daniel Underhill Professor of Music
at Swarthmore College. His publications include Lutheranism, Anti-
Judaism, and Bachs St. John Passion and articles in Musical Quarterly,
Harvard Theological Review, and the New YorkTimes.
With superb mastery over the sources,
both Christian and Jewish, Michael
Marissens arresting argument indicates
that even the most beloved and apparently
ecumenical art works might rest on deep
religious bigotry. Boldly rebutting his
contenders, Marissens lucidly articulated
humanistic message instructs us that
exposing the vexing components of our
cherished pantheons would contribute to
further understanding of the complexity
of culture and the moral responsibility of
its inheritors.Ruth HaCohen, Artur

Facts and Inventions
Selections from the Journalism of James Boswell
Edited by Paul Tankard
James Boswell (17401795), best known as the biographer of Samuel
Johnson, was also a lawyer, journalist, diarist, and an insightful chronicler
of a pivotal epoch in Western history. This fascinating collection, edited
by Paul Tankard, presents a generous and varied selection of Boswells
journalistic writings, most of which have not been published since the
eighteenth century. It offers a new angle on the history of journalism, an
idiosyncratic view of literature, politics, and public life in late eighteenth-
century Britain, and an original perspective on a complex and engaging
literarypersonality.

The Soviet Theater
A Documentary History
Edited by Laurence Senelick and Sergei Ostrovsky
In this monumental work, Laurence Senelick and Sergei Ostrovsky offer
a panoramic history of Soviet theater from the Bolshevik Revolution
to the eventual collapse of the USSR. Making use of more than eighty
years worth of archival documentation, the authors celebrate in words
and pictures a vital, living art form that remained innovative and excit-
ing, growing, adapting, and fourishing despite harsh, often illogical
pressures inficted upon its creators by a totalitarian government. It is the
frst comprehensive analysis of the subject ever to be published in the
Englishlanguage.

The Buddha in the Machine
Art, Technology, and the Meeting of East and West
R. John Williams
The famous 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair celebrated the dawn of corporate
capitalism and a new Machine Age with an exhibit of the worlds larg-
est engine. Yet the noise was so great, visitors ran out of the Machinery
Hall to retreat to the peace and quiet of the Japanese pavilions Buddhist
temples and lotus ponds. Thus began over a century of the Wests turn
toward an Asian aesthetic as an antidote to moderntechnology.
From the turn-of-the-century Columbian Exhibition to the latest Zen-
inspired designs of Apple, Inc., R. John Williams charts the history of
our embrace of Eastern ideals of beauty to counter our fear of the rise of
modern technological systems. In a dazzling work of synthesis, Williams
examines Asian infuences on book design and department store market-
ing, the commercial fction of Jack London, the poetic technique of Ezra
Pound, the popularity of Charlie Chan movies, the architecture of Frank
Lloyd Wright, and the design of the latest high-tech gadgets. Williams
demonstrates how, rather than retreating from modernity, writers, artists,
and inventors turned to traditional Eastern techn as a therapeutic means
of living withbut never abandoningWesterntechnology.

Wilfred Owen
Guy Cuthbertson
One of Britains best-known and most loved poets, Wilfred Owen
(18931918) was killed at age 25 on one of the last days of the First World
War, having acted heroically as soldier and offcer despite his famous
misgivings about the wars rationale and conduct. He left behind a body
of poetry that sensitively captured the pity, rage, valor, and futility of
theconfict.
In this new biography Guy Cuthbertson provides a fresh account of
Owens life and formative infuences: the lower-middle-class child-
hood that he tried to escape; the places he lived in, from Birkenhead to
Bordeaux; his class anxieties and his religious doubts; his sexuality and
friendships; his close relationship with his mother and his childlike per-
sonality. Cuthbertson chronicles a great poets growth to poetic maturity,
illuminates the social strata of the extraordinary Edwardian era, and adds
rich context to how Owens enduring verse can beunderstood.
GUY CUTHBERTSON is lecturer in English literature at Liverpool Hope University
and an expert on the First World War poets. He lives inLiverpool.

The Duchesss Shells
Natural History Collecting in the Age of
Cooks Voyages
Beth Fowkes Tobin
Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, the 2nd Duchess of Portland (17151785),
was one of the wealthiest women in eighteenth-century Britain. She col-
lected fne and decorative arts (the Portland Vase was her most famous
acquisition), but her great love was natural history, and shells in particular.
Over the course of twenty years, she amassed the largest shell collection
of her time, which was sold after her death in a spectacularauction.
Beth Fowkes Tobin illuminates the interlocking issues surrounding the
global circulation of natural resources, the commodifcation of nature,
and the construction of scientifc value through the lens of one womans
marvelous collection. This unique study tells the story of the collections
formation and dispersalabout the sailors and naturalists who ferried
rare specimens across oceans and the dealers shops and connoisseurs
cabinets on the other side of the world. Exquisitely illustrated, this book
brings to life Enlightenment natural history and its cultures of collecting,
scientifc expeditions, and vibrant visualculture.

Robert Morriss Folly
The Architectural and Financial Failures of an
American Founder
Ryan K. Smith
In 1798 Robert Morrisfnancier of the American Revolution, con-
fdant of George Washington, former U.S. senatorplunged from the
peaks of wealth and prestige into debtors prison and public contempt.
How could one of the richest men in the United States, one of only two
Founders who signed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of
Confederation, and the Constitution, suffer such adownfall?
This book examines for the frst time the fabulously extravagant
Philadelphia townhouse Robert Morris built and its role in bringing about
his ruin. Part biography, part architectural history, the book recounts
Morriss wild successes as a merchant, his recklessness as a land speculator,
and his unrestrained passion in building his palatial, doomed mansion,
once hailed as the grandest and most expensive private building in the
United States but later known as Morriss Folly. Setting Morriss tale in
the context of the nations founding, this volume refocuses attention on
an essential yet nearly forgotten American fgure while also illuminating
the origins of Americas ongoing, ambivalent attitudes toward the super-
wealthy and their sensationalexcesses.

Gathering Together

Sami Lakomki
Weaving Indian and Euro-American histories together in this ground-
breaking book, Sami Lakomki places the Shawnee people, and Native
peoples in general, frmly at the center of American history. The bookcov-
ers nearly three centuries, from the years leading up to the Shawnees frst
European contacts to the postCivil War era, and demonstrates vividly
how the interactions between Natives and newcomers transformed the
political realities and ideas of bothgroups.
Examining Shawnee society and politics in new depth, and introducing
not only charismatic warriors like Blue Jacket and Tecumseh but also
other leaders and thinkers, Lakomki explores the Shawnee peoples
debates and strategies for coping with colonial invasion. The author
refutes the deep-seated notion that only European colonists created new
nations in America, showing that the Shawnees, too, were engaged in
nation building. With a sharpened focus on the creativity and power
of Native political thought, Lakomki provides an array of insights into
Indian as well as Americanhistory.

Hospitality and Treachery in Western Literature
James A. W. Heffernan
In works of Western literature ranging from Homers Odyssey to Albees
Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the giving and taking of hospitality is
sometimes pleasurable, but more often perilous. Heffernan traces this
leitmotiv through the history of our greatest writings, including Christs
Last Supper, Macbeths murder of his royal guest, and Camuss short story
on French colonialism in Arab Algeria. By means of such examples and
many more, this book considers what literary hosts, hostesses, and guests
do to as well as for each other. In doing so, it shows how often treachery
rends the fabric of trust that hospitalityweaves.

era, performing the works of William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe,
Thomas Kyd, and others in a distinctive and spectacular style, exploring
innovative new modes of impersonation while intentionally courting

Jan Kiely
In this groundbreaking volume, based on extensive research in Chinese
archives and libraries, Jan Kiely explores the pre-Communist origins of
the process of systematic thought reform or reformation (ganhua) that
evolved into a key component of Mao Zedongs revolutionary restructur-
ing of Chinese society. Focusing on ganhua as it was employed in Chinas
prison system, Kielys thought-provoking work brings the history of this
critical phenomenon to life through the stories of individuals who con-
ceptualized, implemented, and experienced it, and he details how these
techniques were subsequently adapted for broader social and politicaluse.

Siberia
A History of the People
Janet M. Hartley
Larger in area than the United States and Europe combined, Siberia
is a land of extremes, not merely in terms of climate and expanse, but
in the many kinds of lives its population has led over the course of four
centuries. Janet M. Hartley explores the history of this vast Russian waste-
landwhose very name is a common euphemism for remote bleakness
and exilethrough the lives of the people who settled there, either will-
ingly, desperately, or as prisoners condemned to exile or forced labor in
mines or thegulag.
From the Cossack adventurers frst incursions into Sibir in the late six-
teenth century to the exiled criminals and political prisoners of the Soviet
era to present-day impoverished Russians and entrepreneurs seeking
opportunities in the oil-rich north, Hartleys comprehensive history offers
a vibrant, profoundly human account of Siberias development. One of the
worlds most inhospitable regions is humanized through personal narra-
tives and colorful case studies as ordinaryand extraordinaryeveryday
life in the nothingness is presented in rich and fascinatingdetail.

Famine Politics in Maoist China and the
Soviet Union
Felix Wemheuer
During the twentieth century, 80 percent of all famine victims worldwide
died in China and the Soviet Union. In this rigorous and thoughtful study,
Felix Wemheuer analyzes the historical and political roots of these social-
ist-era famines, in which overambitious industrial programs endorsed
by Stalin and Mao Zedong created greater disasters than those suffered
under prerevolutionaryregimes.
Focusing on famine as a political tool, Wemheuer systematically exposes
how conficts about food among peasants, urban populations, and the
socialist state resulted in the starvation death of millions. A major contri-
bution to Chinese and Soviet history, this provocative analysis examines
the long-term effects of the great famines on the relationship between
the state and its citizens and argues that the lessons governments learned
from the catastrophes enabled them to overcome famine in their later
decades ofrule.
FELIX WEMHEUER is assistant professor at the Institute for East Asian Studies
at the University of Vienna. He has published three books on twentieth-century
Chinese political history and numerous journalarticles.

Forced Labor and Its Legacy in Vorkuta
Alan Barenberg
This insightful volume offers a radical reassessment of the infamous
Gulag Archipelago by exploring the history of Vorkuta, an arctic coal-
mining outpost originally established in the 1930s as a prison camp
complex. Author Alan Barenbergs eye-opening study reveals Vorkuta as
an active urban center with a substantial nonprisoner population where
the borders separating camp and city were contested and permeable,
enabling prisoners to establish social connections that would eventually
aid them in their transitions to civilian life. With this book, Barenberg
makes an important historical contribution to our understanding of
forced labor in the Soviet Union and its enduringlegacy.

Zulu Warriors
The Battle for the South African Frontier
John Laband
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the British embarked on a
concerted series of campaigns in South Africa. Within three years they
waged fve wars against African states with the intent of destroying their
military might and political independence and unifying southern Africa
under imperial control. This is the frst work to tell the story of this cluster
of conficts as a single whole and to narrate the experiences of the militar-
ily outmatched Africansocieties.
Deftly fusing the widely differing European and African perspectives on
events, John Laband details the fateful decisions of individual leaders and
generals and explores why many Africans chose to join the British and
colonial forces. The Xhosa, Zulu, and other African military cultures
are brought to vivid life, showing how varying notions of warrior honor
and manliness infuenced the outcomes for African fghting men and
theirsocieties.

Pagan Britain
Ronald Hutton
Britains pagan past, with its mysterious monuments, atmospheric sites,
enigmatic artifacts, bloodthirsty legends, and cryptic inscriptions, is both
enthralling and perplexing to a resident of the twenty-frst century. In this
ambitious and thoroughly up-to-date book, Ronald Hutton reveals the
long development, rapid suppression, and enduring cultural signifcance
of paganism, from the Paleolithic Era to the coming of Christianity. He
draws on an array of recently discovered evidence and shows how new
fndings have radically transformed understandings of belief and ritual in
Britain before the arrival of organizedreligion.
Setting forth a chronological narrative, Hutton along the way makes side
visits to explore specifc locations of ancient pagan activity. He includes
the well-known sacred sitesStonehenge, Avebury, Seahenge, Maiden
Castle, Angleseyas well as more obscure locations across the mainland
and coastal islands. In tireless pursuit of the elusive why of pagan behav-
ior, Hutton astonishes with the breadth of his understanding of Britains
deep past and inspires with the originality of hisinsights.

The Clerics of Islam
Religious Authority and Political Power in Saudi Arabia
Nabil Mouline
Translated by Ethan S. Rundell
Followers of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, often considered to be
Islams Martin Luther, shaped the political and religious identity of the
Saudi state while also enabling the signifcant worldwide expansion of
Salafst Islam. Studies of the movement he inspired, however, have often
been limited by scholars insuffcient access to key sources within Saudi
Arabia. Nabil Mouline was granted rare interviews and admittance to
important Saudi archives in preparation for this groundbreaking book,
the frst in-depth study of the Wahhabi religious movement from its
founding to the modern day. Gleaning information from both written
and oral sources and employing a multidisciplinary approach that com-
bines history, sociology, and Islamic studies, Mouline presents a new
reading of this movement that transcends the usual resort topolemics.

While comparative literature is a well-recognized feld of study, the notion
of comparative arts remains unfamiliar to many. In this fascinating book,
Daniel Albright addresses the fundamental question of comparative arts:
Are there many different arts, or is there one art which takes different
forms? He considers various artistic media, especially literature, music,
and painting, to discover which aspects of each medium are unique and
which can be translated from one to another. Can a poem turn into a
symphony, or a symphony into apainting?
Albright explores how different media interact, as in a drama, when speech,
stage decor, and music are co-present, or in a musical composition that
employs the collage method of the visual arts. Tracing arguments and
questions about the relations among the arts from AristotlesPoetics to the
present day, he illuminates the understudied discipline of comparative
arts and urges new attention to itsriches.
DANIEL ALBRIGHT is Ernest Bernbaum Professor of Comparative Literature,
English, and Music at Harvard University. He is the author of sixteen previous books.
He lives in Cambridge, MA.

Sensational Religion
Sensory Cultures in Material Practice
Edited by Sally M. Promey
The result of a collaborative, multiyear project, this groundbreaking book
explores the interpretive worlds that inform religious practice and derive
from sensoryphenomena.
Under the rubric of making sense, the studies assembled here ask, How
have people used and valued sensory data? How have they shaped their
material and immaterial worlds to encourage or discourage certain kinds
or patterns of sensory experience? How have they framed the sensual
capacities of images and objects to license a range of behaviors, includ-
ing iconoclasm, censorship, and accusations of blasphemy or sacrilege?
Exposing the dematerialization of religion embedded in secularization
theory, editor Sally Promey proposes a fundamental reorientation in
understanding the personal, social, political, and cultural work accom-
plished in religions sensory and material practice. Sensational Religion
refocuses scholarly attention on the robust material entanglements often
discounted by modernitys metaphysic and on their inextricable connec-
tions to human bodies, behaviors, affects, andbeliefs.
SALLY M. PROMEY is professor of American studies and professor of religion and
visual culture at Yale University, where she is also founding director of the Initiative
for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) and dep-
uty director of the Yale Institute of SacredMusic.

The Spirit of Mary
Sarah Jane Boss
Said to be next to Christ, yet closest to us, the Virgin Mary has been and
remains a major fgure in world religion. Mary, who carried the Word of
God in her very body, is a potent symbol for Christians: by conforming
their souls to her likeness, they invite Christ to live within them spiritu-
ally. As such, Marys spirit has pervaded, and partly constituted, the spirit
of Christianityitself.
Contextualizing a selection of writings that illustrate Marys role
in the Christian tradition, Sarah Jane Bossa leading authority on
Maryshows how the Marian cult, doctrines, and devotion have devel-
oped over the centuries, from widely differing cultural backgrounds and
from both Eastern and Western churches. Together with Bosss enlight-
ening and incisive introductions to the texts, this book is a colorful and
engaging introduction to the meaning ofMary.
SARAH JANE BOSS is director of the Centre for Marian Studies at the University of
Roehampton, where she is senior lecturer in theology and religious studies. She lives
in Ceredigion, midwestWales.

Christ Child
Cultural Memories of a Young Jesus
Stephen J. Davis
Little is known about the early childhood of Jesus Christ. But in the
decades after his death, stories began circulating about his origins. One
collection of such tales was the so-called Infancy Gospel of Thomas,
known in antiquity as the Paidika, or Childhood Deeds of Jesus. In it,
Jesus not only performs miracles while at play (such as turning clay birds
into live sparrows) but also gets enmeshed in a series of interpersonal con-
ficts and curses to death children and teachers who rub him the wrong
way. How would early readers have made sense of this youngJesus?
In this highly innovative book, Stephen Davis draws on current theories
about how human communities construe the past to answer this ques-
tion. He then shows how the fgure of a young Jesus was later picked up
and exploited in the context of medieval Jewish-Christian and Christian-
Muslim encounters. Challenging many scholarly assumptions, Davis
adds a crucial dimension to the story of how Christian history wascreated.
STEPHEN J. DAVIS is professor of religious studies, executive director of the Yale
Monastic Archaeology Project, and master of Pierson College at YaleUniversity.

Breaking Democracys Spell
John Dunn
In this timely and important work, eminent political theorist John Dunn
argues that democracy is not synonymous with good government. The
author explores the labyrinthine reality behind the basic concept of
democracy, demonstrating how the political system that people in the
West generally view as straightforward and obvious is, in fact, deeply
unclear and, in many cases, dysfunctional. Consisting of four thought-
provoking lectures, Dunns book sketches the path by which democracy
became the only form of government with moral legitimacy, analyzes
the contradictions and pitfalls of modern American democracy, and
challenges the academic world to take responsibility for giving the world
a more coherent understanding of this widely misrepresented political
institution. Suggesting that the supposedly ideal marriage of liberal eco-
nomics with liberal democracy can neither ensure its continuance nor
even address the problems of contemporary life, this courageous analysis
attempts to show how we came to be so gripped by democracys spell and
why we must now learn to breakit.
JOHN DUNN is emeritus professor of political theory at Kings College, Cambridge,
and one of the founders of the Cambridge school of politicalthought.

The Constitutional Parent
Rights, Responsibilities, and the Enfranchisement of
the Child
Jeffrey Shulman
In this bold and timely work, law professor Jeffrey Shulman argues that
the United States Constitution does not protect a fundamental right
to parent. Based on a rigorous reconsideration of the historical record,
Shulman challenges the notion, held by academics and the general pub-
lic alike, that parental rights have a long-standing legal pedigree. What
is deeply rooted in our legal tradition and social conscience, Shulman
demonstrates, is the idea that the state entrusts parents with custody of
the child, and it does so only as long as parents meet their fduciary duty
to serve the developmental needs of thechild.
Shulmans illuminating account of American legal history is of more than
academic interest. If once again we treat parenting as a delegated respon-
sibilityas a sacred trust, not a sacred rightwe will not all reach the
same legal prescriptions, but we might be more willing to consider how
time-honored principles of family law can effectively accommodate the
evolving interests of parent, child, andstate.
JEFFREY SHULMAN teaches constitutional family law and legal writing at
Georgetown Law. He lives in Frederick, MD.

Europes Deadlock
How the Euro Crisis Could Be Solved And Why It
Wont Happen
David Marsh
This short, fercely argued book explains how fve years of continuous cri-
sis management not only have failed to resolve the Eurozones problems
but have actually made things worse. While austerity-wracked nations
descend into misery and resentment, creditor countries fear that they will
be forced to subsidize their weaker brethren indefnitely. Constructive
dialogue has collapsed as European decisionmaking descends into terri-
fed paralysis, and the potential paths out of the impasse are blocked by
indecision and incompetence at thetop.
As voters in Greece and Italy rebel against externally imposed hard-
ship, and the sums needed to bail out failed economies reach ever more
staggering proportions, the contradictions at the heart of the European
project are becoming more and more obvious. Marsh warns that the cur-
rent succession of complex technical fxes cannot sustain the Eurozone
on life support indefnitely. Radical solutions are on offer, but without
leaders who are strong and principled enough to push them through,
Europe risks a depressing future of permanentdecline.

Japan
The Paradox of Harmony
Keiko Hirata and Mark Warschauer
Following a crushing defeat in World War II,Japan rose like a phoenix
from the literal ashes to become a model of modernity and success, for
decades Asias premier economic giant. Yet it remains a nation hobbled by
rigid gender roles, protectionist policies, and a defensive, infexible corpo-
rate system that has helped bring about political and economic stagnation.
The unique social cohesion that enabled Japan to cope with adversity and
develop swiftly has also encouraged isolationism, given rise to an arrogant
and infexible bureaucracy, and prevented the country from addressing
diffcult issues. Its culture of hard workin fact, overworkis legendary,
but a declining population and restrictions on opportunity threaten the
nationsfuture.
Keiko Hirata and Mark Warschauer have combined thoroughly researched
deep analysis with engaging anecdotal material in this enlightening por-
trait of modern-day Japan, creating an honest and accessible critique that
addresses issues from the economy and politics to immigration, educa-
tion, and the increasing alienation of Japaneseyouth.

The Papers of Benjamin Franklin
Volume 41: September 16, 1783, through February 29, 1784
Ellen R. Cohn, Editor, etal.
After the signing of the defnitive peace treaty on September 3, 1783,
Franklins offcial duties as minister plenipotentiary diminished. Great
Britain refused to negotiate a commercial agreement, and Congress failed
to act on the draft treaties of commerce with Denmark and Portugal that
Franklin had sent them the previous summer. In the six months after the
peace was settled, Franklins sole diplomatic achievement was a draft con-
sular convention with France. With his welcome leisure time, however,
Franklin eagerly followed scientifc developments (witnessing the frst
balloon ascensions in Paris), advised the French government on schemes
for civic improvement, and wrote three of his most remarkable pieces
about what it meant to beAmerican.

thinking about the specifc ways in which poetryand perhaps poetry
aloneallows a historical concept like modernity to become accessible in

The Bigot
Why Prejudice Persists
Stephen Eric Bronner
Stephen Eric Bronner is a prolifc author, activist, and one of Americas
leading political thinkers. His new book presents bigotry as a systematic,
all-encompassing mindset that has a special affnity for right-wing move-
ments. In what will surely prove a seminal study, Bronner explores its
appeal, the self-image it justifes, the interests it serves, and its complex
connection with modernity. He reveals how prejudice shapes the con-
spiratorial and paranoid worldview of the true believer, the elitist, and the
chauvinist. In the process, it becomes apparent how the bigot hides behind
mainstream conservative labels in order to support policies designed to
disadvantage the targets of his contempt. Examining bigotry in its various
dimensionsanthropological, historical, psychological, sociological, and
politicalProfessor Bronner illustrates how the bigots intense hatred of
the other is a direct reaction to social progress, liberal values, secularism,
and an increasingly complex and diverse world. A sobering look at the
bigot in the twenty-frst century, this volume is essential for making sense
of the dangers facing democracy now and in thefuture.

Sustainable Lifestyles and the Quest

Case Studies of the New Economy
Edited by Juliet B. Schor and Craig J. Thompson
Many of todays most troubling environmental and economic issues have
come to seem insoluble: carbon emissions, overshoot, inequality, jobless-
ness, and a dysfunctional food system. Can we change direction, move
away from business as usual, and achieve a more sustainable, empower-
ing, and humane economy? Through a fascinating array of illuminating
case studies, this hope-flled book affrms that wecan.
In locations across the United States and around the globe, local par-
ticipants are forging their own versions of small-scale, low-footprint,
high-satisfaction lifestyles and communities. From raw-milk consumers
and members of alternative agricultural initiatives to time bankers, arti-
san producers in the Aude region of France, and bicycle mechanics on
the South Side of Chicago, individuals and small groups are exploring
the practice of plenitude. Their efforts demonstrate how social and eco-
nomic transformation happens and suggest new paths toward larger-scale
change and a richer quality of life forall.

Faust
A Tragedy, Parts One and Two, Fully Revised
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Translated by Martin Greenberg
A classic of world literature, Goethes Faust is a philosophical and poetic
drama full of satire, irony, humor, and tragedy. Martin Greenberg re-cre-
ates not only the texts varied meter and rhyme but also its diverse tones
and stylesdramatic and lyrical, refective and farcical, pathetic and
coarse, colloquial and soaring. His rendition of Faust is the frst faithful,
readable, and elegantly written translation of Goethes masterpiece avail-
able in English. At last, the Greenberg Faust is available in a single volume,
together with a thoroughly updated translation, preface, andnotes.
Greenberg has accomplished a magnifcent literary feat. He has taken a
great German work, until now all but inaccessible to English readers, and
made it into a sparkling English poem, full of verve and wit. Greenbergs
translation lives; it is done in a modern idiom but with respect for the orig-
inal text; I found it a joy to read.Irving Howe (on the earlieredition)

Wilderness and the American Mind
Fifth Edition
Roderick Frazier Nash
Foreword by Char Miller
Roderick Nashs classic study of changing attitudes toward wilderness
during American history, as well as the origins of the environmental and
conservation movements, has received wide acclaim since its initial pub-
lication in 1967. TheLos Angeles Times listed it among the one hundred
most infuential books published in the last quarter century, Outside
Magazine included it in a survey of books that changed our world, and
it has been called the Book of Genesis for environmentalists.
For the ffth edition, Nash has written a new preface and epilogue that
brings Wilderness and the American Mind into dialogue with contem-
porary debates about wilderness. Char Millers foreword provides a
twenty-frst-century perspective on how the environmental movement
has changed, including the ways in which contemporary scholars are
re imagining the dynamic relationship between the natural world and the
builtenvironment.

The Great Agnostic
Robert Ingersoll and American Freethought
Susan Jacoby
A biography that restores Americas foremost
nineteenth-century champion of reason and
secularism to our still contested twenty-frst-
century public square
In this thought-provoking biography, the author of
Freethinkers demonstrates why Robert Ingersolls argu-
ments matter today more thanever.
Jacoby makes the case that Americans are dearly
indebted to Ingersoll, and would be well-served to
revisit his life and writings at a time when religious
thought continues to be a divisive force in American
civic life.... In this important volume, Jacoby illumi-
nates a mind worth celebrating and the story of a life
well lived.Daily Beast
Jacobys goal of elucidating the life and work of Robert
Ingersoll is admirably accomplished. She offers a host
of well-chosen quotations from his work, and she deftly
displays the effect he had on others.New York Times
Book Review
Jacoby writes with wit and vigor, affectionately res-
urrecting a man whose life and work are due for
reconsideration.Boston Globe
Jacoby writes for a readership of freethinkers, but
believers who stumble upon the book will fnd it hard
to deny that, irreligion aside, Ingersoll was a thoroughly
admirable fgure.Kirkus Reviews
SUSAN JACOBY is the author of numerous books, including
Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism,The Age of American
Unreason, Alger Hiss and the Battle for History, and The Last Men on

Chasing Monarchs
Migrating with the Butterfies of Passage
Robert Michael Pyle
With a Foreword by Lincoln P. Brower
Pyles classic account of discovery along the
migration trail of monarch butterfies is part
natural history, part road trip adventure
Although no one had ever followed North American
monarch butterfies on their annual southward jour-
ney to Mexico and California, in the 1990s there were
well-accepted assumptions about the nature and form
of the migration. But to Robert Michael Pyle, a natural-
ist with long experience in monarch conservation, the
received wisdom about the butterfies long journey just
didnt make sense. In the autumn of 1996 he set out
to uncover the facts, to pursue the tide of cinnamon
sailors on their long, mysteriousfight.
Chasing Monarchs chronicles Pyles 9,000-mile jour-
ney to discover frsthand the secrets of the monarchs
annual migration. Part road trip, part outdoor adventure,
and part natural history study, Pyles book overturns
old theories and provides insights both large and small
regarding monarch butterfies, their biology, and their
spectacular migratory travels. Since the books frst pub-
lication, its controversial conclusions have been fully
confrmed, and monarchs are better understood than
ever before. The Afterword for this volume includes
not only updated information on the myriad threats
to monarch butterfies, but also various efforts under
way to ensure the future of the worlds most amazing
butterfymigration.
ROBERT MICHAEL PYLE is an award-winning author of eigh-
teen books, including Wintergreen, for which he received the John
Burroughs Medal. He is founder of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate
Conservation and has worked in every state and many countries as a
butterfy ecologist, writer, speaker, and teacher. He lives along a tribu-
tary of the Lower Columbia River in southwestWashington.
In his new book, Chasing Monarchs,
the naturalist Robert Michael Pyle
chronicles his efforts to follow the
monarchs on their winter migration by
tracking them on the ground in a battered
old Honda Civic.... The authors
evident passion for and understanding
of butterfies invest his narrative with

promises to ourselves we cannot afford to keep. [This] argument is impor-

The Gateway
Arch
A Biography
Tracy Campbell

Icons of
America
This book is the frst to explore the colorful history of the spec-
tacular Gateway Arch of St. Louis and the controversial tactics
of its creators. Beloved as a symbol of American democracy,
the monument can also be seen as a vivid example of failed
urbanplanning.
Full of drama and intrigue, The Gateway Arch colorfully traces
how the architectural symbol of Americas opening to the west
in St. Louis came into beinga process marked by political con-
tention, the personal pathology of a great architect, and a citys
search for identity.William H. Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin

Lynching
Ashraf H. A. Rushdy
In this meticulously researched and accessibly written inter-

Virginia to thepresent.
In this sobering account, Rushdy makes clear that the cul-

Scientists often formulate and explain concepts with metaphors,
but an ill-considered metaphor can reinforce social attitudes
that clash with sound science-based sustainability policies. This
book calls for more conscious framing of metaphors for environ-
mental science and offers practical advice on doingso.
Larson presents a fascinating array of researchspanning lin-

A Mere Machine
The Supreme Court,

Anna Harvey
In this groundbreaking book, Anna Harvey challenges the
assumptions that Americas Supreme Court is independent
from the elected branches of government and that independent
courts are most effective at protectingrights.
Using innovative analytic techniques, Anna Harvey offers a sur-
prising argument, that the Supreme Court responds to changes
in the partisan composition of the House of Representatives.
Her extension of the argument to raise questions about the value
of judicial independence and judicial review in established
democracies is especially interesting.Mark Tushnet, Harvard

Comics Art
Paul Gravett
A fascinating overview of the history and
infuence of comics, ranging from the late
19th century to present-day graphic novels and
the Internet
The narrative possibilities of comics art and the acces-
sibility of the form have made it one of the more
innovative contemporary genres. Self-publishing and
the Internet have given rise to new, autobiographical
forms and an increasing number of authors draw from
outside the mainstream, whether sexually, ethnically,
orpolitically.
In this richly illustrated and accessible survey, acclaimed
author Paul Gravett considers the vast output of comics
culture from the late 19th century to today, including
syndicated comics, graphic novels, and contemporary
art and illustration. From foundational masterpieces
such as Rodolphe Topffers and Wilhelm Buschs
albums, George McManuss Art Deco Bringing Up
Father, and Alex Raymonds Flash Gordon to the
later retro stylings of Robert Crumb, Gravett considers
lines of infuence from around the world and examines
how comics have shifted from supporting the status
quo to becoming the voice of alternative subcultures.
Gravett traces the major themes taking place in con-
temporary comics, noting the rise of publications that
function as questioning, transgressive outlets for out-
sider stories and ideas, and includes the ways that folk
art traditions are reinvigorating theform.
PAUL GRAVETT is a London-based freelance writer and curator
who has worked in comics publishing and promotion since 1981. He
was the founder of Escape Magazine and director of The Cartoon Art
Trust, UK. He is the author of numerous books, including Graphic
Novels: Everything You Need to Know and Manga: 60 Years of
JapaneseComics.

The Production Line of Happiness
Matthew S. Witkovsky, Roxana Marcoci, and Mark Godfrey
A handsome volume charting the thirty-year
career of a widely celebrated, American-born
conceptual artist
Chronologically examining the nature of his art within
the context of mass media and photojournalism, this
handsome volume charts the thirty-year career of the
artist and photographer Christopher Williams (b.1956).
Featuring 100 color illustrations, the book also includes
a trio of essays by authors Mark Godfrey, Roxana
Marcoci, and Matthew S. Witkovsky that demon-
strate how Williams, with high craft and a critical eye,
deliberately engages yet reinterprets the conventions
of photojournalism, picture archives, and commercial
imagery through uncanny mimicry. Committed to the
history of photography as a medium of art and intel-
lectual inquiry, Williamss current series tackles the
interplay of photography and cinema, upending viewer
expectations and the role ofspectacle.

The Experience of Seeing
Late Works, 19631981
Carmen Fernndez Aparicio, Charles Palermo, and Pere Portabella
A compelling new look at the late works by one
of art historys most renowned and inventive
modern artists
This groundbreaking publication offers a reassessment
of renowned modernist Joan Mirs late-career works,
created between 1963 and 1981. This body of work,
almost entirely unknown in the United States, show-
cases Mirs exceptional ingenuity as both a painter
andsculptor.
Mir: The Experience of Seeing includes color illustra-
tions of nearly 50 paintings, drawings, and sculptures
that show the breadth and contrast of this body of
workfrom bold, colorful canvases with expressive
gestures to the most minimal calligraphic markings on
white felds. His sculptures made of found objects are a
revelation. Comparisons between paintings and sculp-
tures highlight startling connections between shapes
and symbols that Mir used in each medium. These
mature works represent the culmination of the art-
ists development of an innovative and personal visual
language. Engaging texts, including a contribution
by noted Spanish flmmaker Pere Portabella, explain
Mirs role as a political fgure and his quest to speak
about the most intangible subjects through the materi-
ality of objects and the painted gesture. This important
new examination of Mirs later work allows for a richer,
deeper understanding of this signifcant modern artists
distinguishedcareer.

Marina Pacini
With essays by Bill Anthes, Dore Ashton, Deborah Cullen, and Douglas Dreishpoon
A highly-anticipated volume that elucidates
Marisols artistic evolution and reestablishes her
as a major fgure in postwar American art
The Paris-born, Venezuelan artist Marisol (b. 1930)
burst onto the 1960s New York art scene with large
fgural sculptures in a wild amalgam of mixed media.
Often satirical, Marisols art is inspired by sources as
diverse as Pre-Columbian art, folk art, Cubism, and
Surrealism. For the past several decades, however,
Marisol has shunned the spotlight and her artwork has
been overlooked as aresult.
Accompanying the frst retrospective of Marisols
work in more than a decade, this long-awaited and
beautifully illustrated volume offers a much-needed
corrective, reestablishing her role as a major fgure in
postwar American art. Essays by leading scholars of
Latin American and 20th-century art explore all facets
of her work including her infuences, the theme of fam-
ily, American politics and pop culture, Native American
rights and poverty, her role as a female artist, and her
relationship to Latin America and Latin Americanart.

Playing for the Beneft of the Band
New Orleans Music Culture
Lee Friedlander
Lee Friedlander (b.1934) frst visited the birthplace of jazz in 1957, and
immediately set about photographing the aging pioneers of the art form.
His love of the music and the people of New Orleans drew him back to
the city, and the relationships he formed over time gave him intimate
access to a scene that forged one of Americas most original artistic tradi-
tions. A revised and expanded edition of his 1992 monograph The Jazz
People of New Orleans, Playing for the Beneft of the Band features over
200 photographs taken by Friedlander between 1957 and 1982, many of
which are published here for the frst time. Storied fgures such as Duke
Ellington and Mahalia Jackson have been captured by Friedlanders dis-
arming lens, and Sweet Emma Barrett, Sister Gertrude Morgan, Johnny
St. Cyr, and other luminaries are seen in their homes and the back rooms
in which they gathered to play. Also included are photographs of the citys

Family in the Picture, 19582013
Lee Friedlander
Designed and conceived to complement In the Picture, his 2011 volume of
self-portraits, Lee Friedlanders Family in the Picture is the family album of
one of the most restless and inventive fgures in the history of photography.
The sequence of over 350 pictures begins with images of Friedlanders
wife, Maria, at the beginning of their marriage, and interweaves major
life events such as births, weddings, and funerals with moments that are
less outwardly momentous yet equally moving. Although some of the
pictures are well known, the majority of images have only recently been
unearthed from Friedlanders personal archive. This compendium of pic-
tures, spanning over a half-century, chronicles the photographers family
with arresting frankness, poignancy, and a moral: that life goeson.

Converging Lines
Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt
Edited by Veronica Roberts
With essays by Lucy R. Lippard, Veronica Roberts, and Kirsten Swenson
A fascinating glimpse into the friendship of two
acclaimed artists, which reveals the great extent
to which they infuenced each others work
and lives
Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt formed a close friendship
between the late 1950s and Hesses death in 1970.
Converging Lines celebrates this friendship and offers
an illuminating look at their close-knit New York circle.
Whereas previous scholarship has examined LeWitts
impact on Hesse, this is the frst publication to dem-
onstrate that the artists infuenced each others art and
lives in reciprocal and profoundways.
Richly documented, this book includes reproductions of
40 postcards LeWitt wrote to Hesse during his interna-
tional travels, along with a poignant fve-page letter that
he sent Hesse, attesting to his belief in her talent. Also
included are a previously unpublished interview from
2001 with LeWitt about his relationship with Hesse; an
illustrated chronology that draws on correspondence,
interviews, and primary documents from the time; and
a personal recollection by Lucy R. Lippard, a distin-
guished American art writer and critic who was a close
friend of both artists. Shedding new light on the careers
and personal lives of Hesse and LeWitt, this publica-
tion explores the deep connections between two of the
20th centurys most importantartists.

The Neo-Impressionist Portrait, 18861904
Edited by Jane Block and Ellen Wardwell Lee
Neo-Impressionism, the style pioneered by Georges Seurat (18591891),
has long been associated with exquisite landscapes and intriguing scenes
of urban leisure. Yet the movements use of dotted brushwork and color
theory also produced arresting portraits of unusual beauty and percep-
tion. The Neo-Impressionist Portrait is the frst book to examine the
astonishing portraits produced by the most important fgures of Neo-
Impressionism, including Seurat himself, Henri-Edmond Cross, Georges
Lemmen, Maximilien Luce, Paul Signac, Henry van de Velde, Vincent
van Gogh, and Tho van Rysselberghe. Essays by esteemed scholar Jane
Block detail the emergence of portraiture as a genre within the Neo-
Impressionist movement, frst in France and then in Belgium, as well as
the continuing artistic dialogues between the regions. More than one
hundred color illustrations, biographies of seventeen Neo-Impressionist
artists, and a catalogue of sixty paintings make up this authoritative book
on a key chapter of the Post-Impressionistera.

Elegance in the Age of Crisis
Fashions of the 1930s
Edited by Patricia Mears and G. Bruce Boyer
A brilliant look at how modernizing technical
and stylistic changes of the 1930s gave rise to
international trends in fashion
Despite the dire fnancial environment of the 1930s,
this decade gave rise to great technical and aesthetic
innovations in fashion. This handsomely illustrated
book is the frst to analyze important developments in
both mens and womens fashions of that time. Select
experts contribute texts that delve into the economic,
political, and cultural infuences that shaped these
emergent styles. They also explore how industrial capa-
bilities, such as the production of new textiles, allowed
couturiers to drape fabric in ways not previously pos-
sible, and how revolutionary dressmaking and tailoring
techniques gave form to truly modernclothing.
Advancements in menswear tailoring in London and
Naples paralleled breakthroughs in couture draping
in Paris, New York, and even Shanghai. Hollywood
also played a role in defning and popularizing this
glamorous style. The international trend toward softer,
minimally ornamented, and elegantly proportioned
clothing differed markedly from the more restrictive
attire of the preceding Edwardian era. By contrast, the
fashions of the 1930s were made for movement, high-
lighting the natural and classically idealized body. The
revival of classicism and other artistic infuences were
crucial to the creation of this clean, minimal, and mod-
ern newlook.

Lee Bontecou
Drawn Worlds
Michelle White
With contributions by Dore Ashton and Joan Banach
The frst survey of more than ffty years of
drawing by a legendary sculptor and
draftswoman
Lee Bontecou (b.1931) established a signifcant reputa-
tion in the 1960s with pioneering sculptures and reliefs
made of raw and expressionistic materials. Her art is
simultaneously organic and mechanical, and infused
with biological, geological, and technological motifs.
These same qualities also animate a less-known but
compelling body of work: her drawings. Ranging from
her early soot on paper works created using powder
from a welding torch to recent drawings in pencil and
colored pencil that evoke cosmoses and microcosmic
worlds, this stunning book is the frst retrospective
survey of Bontecous consistently innovative draw-
ings. More than sixty full-color plates, populated by
imagery ranging from black voids to mechanomorphs
to hybrid descendants of teeth, plants, and fsh, are
complemented by original essays from leading schol-
ars who explore themes such as the drawings historical
contexts, Bontecous use of the iconography of the void,
and the eco-apocalyptic themes of an artist who came
of age in the roiling political atmosphere of the1960s.

Ren Lalique
Enchanted by Glass
Kelley Jo Elliott
With a foreword by Karol Wight and contributions by Elizabeth Everton and Tina Oldknow
A visually stunning and informative survey of
Laliques glasswork that includes hundreds of
exquisite pieces and related archival material
Ren Lalique, a master artist and designer of early 20th-
century France, initially achieved fame for his jewelry
creations that were widely admired and collected. He
began experimenting with glass in the 1890s, and was
so captivated by the material that he spent the rest of
his career working with it exclusively. The glass objects
that he designed, such as vases, ashtrays, tableware,
and other household accessories, are now considered
iconic representations of the Art Nouveau and Art
Decomovements.
This publication traces Laliques distinguished career,
including his early experimentation with glass in jewelry-
making; his production of innovative perfume bottles,
some of the frst pieces he made entirely of glass; and the
peak of his glassmaking career at the 1925 International
Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in
Paris. Hundreds of color photographsincluding many
dramatic, full-page imagesspotlight individual pieces
of glass and original wax and plaster models selected
from the extensive collection of The Corning Museum
of Glass. The book also draws on the Museums wealth
of archival material on Lalique, including design draw-
ings and photographs. This strikingly beautiful and
informative volume is a testament to the singular allure
of his enchantingglass.

Carl Andre
Sculpture as Place, 19582010
Yasmil Raymond and Philippe Vergne
Edited by Michelle Piranio and Jeremy Sigler
A major retrospective catalogue on the career of
minimalist sculptor and poet Carl Andre
Carl Andre (b.1935) redefned the parameters of abstract
sculpture in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a highly infu-
ential voice in the American minimalist movement,
recognized for his ordered linear and grid formats. In
the early 1960s, Andres creative focus shifted to writing
poetry when he took a job as a freight brakeman and
conductor for the Pennsylvania Railroad. His poems
echoed and extended the themes in his sculptural work,
and his experience with the railroad signifcantly infu-
enced his choice of materials in lateryears.
In this stunning catalogue, which accompanies the
frst retrospective of Andres work since 1970, the art-
ists legacy is examined in eleven essays by international
scholars. The book presents a broad range of sculp-
ture made over the past ffty years, including Andres
emblematic foor and corner pieces, highlighting his
radical use of standardized units of industrial material
such as timber planks, concrete blocks, and metal plates.
A vast selection of Andres previously unpublished con-
crete poems, together with letters, postcards, ephemera,
and documentation of important installations, further
complements our understanding of an essential fgure
in the history of contemporaryart.

Mel Bochner
Strong Language
Norman L. Kleeblatt
With a text by Mel Bochner
An engaging exploration of the use of language
in a complex and colorful series of paintings
Mel Bochner (b.1940) is celebrated as a key Conceptual
artist of the 1960s. Less well-known are his paintings
made after that period: complex works based on an
exploration of language, often crowded with typogra-
phy in lush, contrasting hues that both embrace and
challenge the painterlytradition.
Mel Bochner: Strong Language focuses on this impor-
tant body of work, in which Bochner investigates the
lines between text and image. Ranging from bold
admonishments and witty emoticons to provocative
foods of words, these works demonstrate conceptual
seriousness, as well as delight in the playful potential
of language. Norman L. Kleeblatt discusses the evolu-
tion of Bochners art from his early word experiments
through his return to painting, while Bochner offers
a personal perspective. Both Kleeblatt and Bochner
address the question of Jewishness in Bochners work,
particularly the ways in which the Jewish intellectual
tradition embraces language as a visual expressiveform.

Richard Estes Realism
A Retrospective
Patterson Sims
With Jessica May and Helen Ferrulli
A rich compendium of Estes virtuosic
photorealist paintings, which capture light
andrefections in brilliant detail
Richard Estes (b. 1932) is one of the most celebrated
adopters of photorealism; his paintings are character-
ized by painstaking detail that mimics the clarity and
accuracy of photographs. Estes most famous canvases
from the 1970s depict New Yorks urban landscape,
and his manner of painting refections in a multitude
of metal and glass surfaces displays astounding techni-
cal skill. In his subsequent career, Estes has continued
to demonstrate his superlative ability to show complex
plays of light and shadow in Maine seascapes, views of
Venetian lagoons, and nighttime streetscenes.
Accompanying Estes frst solo exhibition of paint-
ings in the United States in over two decades, Richard
Estes Realism surveys ffty years of his work and places
him within the historical narrative of realist painting.
The authors explore the ongoing modernist dialogue
between camera and canvas, and discuss the situation
of Estes work at the crossroads of painting and photog-
raphy. Over ffty full-page plates showcase the amazing
precision of Estes paintings, and a thorough chronol-
ogy and bibliography provide an enlightening account
of his life. This handsome book offers a lavish presenta-
tion of Estes spellbinding body of work that attests to
his enduring artisticimpact.

19th and 20th centuriesboth familiar names and
recently rediscovered artistsapproached the subject
of still-life painting. A stunning array of works, some
never before published, are beautifully illustrated in
more than 250 color images. Four thematic essays
address the connections between still life and other
aspects of American culture, including literature
and philosophy; the intersection of still-life painting,
natural-history illustration, and commercial photog-
raphy; the Philadelphia regions defning impact and
lasting infuence on American still life; and the recep-
tion of still life by American critics and art historians
from its earliest days to the present. Among the works
featured are Raphaelle Peales celebrated Blackberries
(c. 1813), Severin Roesens majestic Flower Still Life
with Birds Nest (1853), William Michael Harnetts
landmark trompe loeil painting After the Hunt (1885),
and Charles Sheelers modern masterpiece Rolling

A fresh and engaging look at the controversial
work of Jeff Koons, with insightful analyses and
illustrations of all of his iconic pieces alongside
preparatory works and historical photographs
Examining the breadth and depth of thirty-fve years of
work by Jeff Koons (b.1955), one of the most infuential
and controversial artists of the 20th century, this highly
anticipated volume features all of his most famous
pieces. In an engaging overview essay, Scott Rothkopf
carefully examines the evolution of Koons work and
his development over the past thirty-fve years, offering
a fresh scholarly perspective on the artists multi-fac-
eted career. In addition, short essays by a wide range
of interdisciplinary contributorsfrom academics to
novelistsprobe provocative topics such as celebrity
and media, markets and money, and technology and
fabrication. Also included are preparatory sketches and
plans for sculptures and paintings as well as installation
photographs that shed light on Koons artistic process
and trace the development of his work throughout his
landmarkcareer.
Koons has risen to international fame making art that
reimagines and recontextualizes images and objects
from popular culture such as vacuum cleaners, basket-
balls, and balloon animals. Created with painstaking
attention to detail by a team of fabricators, these objects
raise questions about taste and popular culture, and
position Koons as one of the most lauded and criticized
artists workingtoday.

The Architecture of Paul Rudolph
Timothy M. Rohan
The frst major study of one of the most
important architects of the postwar era
Equally admired and maligned for his remarkable
Brutalist buildings, Paul Rudolph (19181997) shaped
both late modernist architecture and a generation of archi-
tects while chairing Yales department of architecture from
1958 to 1965. Based on extensive archival research and
unpublished materials, The Architecture of Paul Rudolph
is the frst in-depth study of the architect, neglected since
his postwarzenith.
Author Timothy M. Rohan unearths the ideas that
informed Rudolphs architecture, from his Florida
beach houses of the 1940s to his concrete buildings of
the 1960s to his lesser-known East Asian skyscrapers
of the 1990s. Situating Rudolph within the architec-
tural discourse of his day, Rohan shows how Rudolph
countered the perceived monotony of mid-century
modernism with a dramatically expressive architecture
for postwar America, exemplifed by his Yale Art and
Architecture Building of 1963, famously clad in cor-
rugated concrete. The fascinating story of Rudolphs
spectacular rise and fall considerably deepens long-
standing conceptions about postwar architecture:
Rudolph emerges as a pivotal fgure who anticipated
new directions for architecture, ranging from postmod-
ernism tosustainability.

Anthony Friedkin
The Gay Essay
Julian Cox
With a contribution by Nayland Blake and poetry by Eileen Myles
An unprecedented look at a moving photographic
series that chronicles the gay communities
of Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1969
to 1972
For more than forty years, American photographer
Anthony Friedkin (b. 1949), creating full-frame black-
and-white images, has documented people, cities, and
landscapes primarily in his home state of California.
During the culturally tumultuous years of 1969 and
1970, Friedkin made a series of photographs that
together offer an eloquent and expressive visual chron-
icle of the gay communities of Los Angeles and San
Francisco at the time. This is the frst book to explore
the series, titled The Gay Essay, in depth, within the
broader historical context that gave rise toit.
1969 witnessed the Stonewall riots in New York City
and was a turning point in the history of community
building and organized political activism among
homosexuals in the United States. The Gay Essay
provides a singular, intimate record of this crucial
moment. Friedkins portraits, taken in streets, hotels,
bars, and dancehalls, demonstrate a sensitivity and an
understanding that has imbued the photographs with
an enduring resonance. This handsome book features
seventy-fve full-page plates and is accompanied by
engaging essays and a poem by EileenMyles.

Kandinsky
A Retrospective
Essays by Angela Lampe and Brady Roberts
With contributions by Anna Hiddleston
A survey of over 100 works spanning
Kandinskys full career, from his formative
period in Munich to his fnal years in Paris
This spectacular fve-decade survey of paintings, draw-
ings, and prints by Wassily Kandinsky (18661944)
features over 100 works drawn primarily from the out-
standing collections of the Centre Pompidou and the
Milwaukee Art Museum. The comprehensive cata-
logue traces the artists development from his formative
period in Munich and his co-founding of the Blue
Rider group and pivotal turn towards abstraction, to
his return to Russia during the war, to his prolifc work
at the Weimar Bauhaus and fnal years in Paris. New
scholarship illuminates murals Kandinsky designed in
1922, contextualizing this project at the transition from
his Russian period to his time at the Bauhaus, where he
taught mural painting and plunged fully into abstrac-
tion. Close examination of the works of art, Kandinskys
rich body of theoretical texts, and their pedagogical
signifcance provides the foundation for essays on the
celebrated artists promotion of abstraction and on the
reception of his work in the 21st century; today his artis-
tic and theoretical output continues to inspire students,
scholars, and artists. Short texts on key works of art and
timelines generously enhanced by archival photographs
augment thecatalogue.

Religious Poverty, Visual Riches
Art in the Dominican Churches of Central Italy in the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries
Joanna Cannon
The Dominican friars of late-medieval Italy were committed to a life of
poverty, yet their churches contained many visual riches, as this ground-
breaking study reveals. Works by supreme practitionersCimabue,
Duccio, Giotto, and Simone Martiniare examined here in a wider
Dominican context. The contents of major foundationsSiena, Pisa,
Perugia, and Santa Maria Novella in Florenceare studied alongside
less well-known centers. For the frst time, these frescoes and panel paint-
ings are brought together with illuminated choir books, carved crucifxes,
goldsmiths work, tombs, and stained glass. At the heart of the book is the
Dominicans evolving relationship with the laity, expressed at frst by the
partitioning of their churches, and subsequently by the sharing of space,
and the production and use of art. Joanna Cannons magisterial study is
informed by extensive new research, using chronicles, legislation, liturgy,
sermons, and other sources to explore the place of art in the lives of the
friars and the urban laity of CentralItaly.

Caravaggios Pitiful Relics
Todd P. Olson
The renowned Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
(15711610) established his career in Catholic Rome, making paintings
that placed particular importance on sacred relics and the glorifcation of
martyred saints. Beginning with his early works, Caravaggio was intensely
engaged with the physical world. He not only interrogated appearances
but also experimented with the paints material nature. Caravaggios
Pitiful Relics explores how the artists commitment to materiality served
and ultimately challenged the Counter Reformation churchs interests. In
his frst ecclesiastical commission, Caravaggio offered an unconventional
representation of martyrdom that collapsed the borders between art, con-
temporary religious persecution, iconoclasm, and relics in early Christian
catacombs. Yet his art controversially and eventually led to a criminal trial.
After he had fed from Rome in disgrace, his major altarpiece depicting
the death of the Virgin Mary, portraying her mortality rather than her
sanctity, was removed. Caravaggios materiality came into confict with
changing notions of the sacred; thereafter, the sacred object became a
secular work of art, marking the displacement of therelic.

Landscapes of London
The City, the Country, and the Suburbs, 16601840
Elizabeth McKellar
The idea of a Greater London emerged in the 18th century with the
expansion of the citys suburbs. In Landscapes of London, Elizabeth
McKellar traces this growth back to the 17th century, when domestic
retreats were established in outlying areas. This transitional zone was
occupied and shaped by the urban middle class as much as by the elite
who built villas there. McKellar provides the frst major interdisciplinary
cultural history of this area, analyzing it in relation to key architectural
and planning debates and to concepts of national, social, and gender iden-
tities. She draws on a wide range of source materials, including prints,
paintings, maps, poetry, songs, newspapers, guidebooks, and other popu-
lar literature, as well as buildings and landscapes. The author suggests
that these suburban landscapesthe frst in the worldwere a new envi-
ronment, but one in which the vernacular, the rustic, and the historic
played a substantial part. This fascinating investigation shows London as
the forerunner of the complex, multifaceted modern cities oftoday.

Origins of Classical Architecture
Temples, Orders, and Gifts to the Gods in
Ancient Greece
Mark Wilson Jones
The Greek architectural ordersDoric, Ionic, and Corinthianlie at the
heart of the classical traditions of building, and yet satisfying accounts for
their origins have proved elusive. In contrast with conventional theories
that would see the orders originating over the course of a long evolution,
this book stresses the suddenness of the phenomenon and its dependence
on historical context, human agency, and artistic inspiration. Casting new
light on a subject that has preoccupied architects since the Renaissance,
Mark Wilson Jones shows how construction, infuence, appearance, and
meaning found expression in complex and multifaceted designs. New
emphasis is placed on the relationship between the orders and the tem-
ples of worship that they were created to adorn. Temples were exquisitely
made offerings to the divinity, and they also contained valuable offerings.
In revealing affnities between certain offerings and the orders, the author
explains how these gave architectural expression to sensibilities of intense
social and religioussignifcance.
MARK WILSON JONES is an architect, architectural historian, and scholar of
archeology in the department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University

The Erotic Doll
A Modern Fetish
Marquard Smith
Since the 19th century, dolls have served as toys but also as objects of
obsession, love, and lust. That century witnessed the emergence of the
term heterosexual and of modern concepts of fetishism, perversity, and
animism. Their convergence, and the demands of a growing consumer
society resulted in a proliferation of waxworks, shop-window dummies,
and customized love dolls, which also began to appear in art. Oskar
Kokoschka commissioned a life-sized doll of his former lover Alma
Mahler; Hans Bellmer crafted poupes; and Marcel Duchamp fabricated
a nude fgure in his environmental tableau Etant donns. The Erotic
Doll is the frst book to explore mens complex relationships with such
inanimate forms from historical, theoretical, and phenomenological per-
spectives. Challenging our commonsense grasp of the relations between
persons and things, Marquard Smith examines these erotically charged
human fgures by interweaving art history, visual culture, gender, and
sexuality studies with the medical humanities, offering startling insights
into heterosexual masculinity and itsdiscontents.
MARQUARD SMITH is research leader and head of doctoral studies in the School
of Humanities, The Royal College of Art, London, and editor-in-chief of the Journal

Michael Snow
Photo-Centric
Edited by Adelina Vlas
With essays by Adelina Vlas and Michael Snow
Canadian flmmaker and artist Michael Snow (b. 1929) is known as a
pioneer of conceptualist and multimedia practice. His seminal flm
Wavelength (1967), described as a 45-minute zoom, investigates the
relationship between time and space, a subject the artist has explored
throughout his career in a variety of mediums. Although considered one
of the most important experimental flmmakers of his generation, Snow is
less known in the United States for his visual art, includingphotography.
Michael Snow: Photo-Centric focuses on a selection of the artists pho-
tographic work from 1962 to the present. The book considers Snows
interest in late modernisms self-refexivity and, specifcally, his explora-
tion of how the mechanics of photography affect perception, cognition,
and consciousness. Essays by Adelina Vlas and the artist himself consider
the importance of Snows photographic work within his larger practice, its
connection with and continuation of modernist ideas, and its experimen-
tal quality within the history of themedium.

The Life Within
Classic Maya and the Matter of Permanence
Stephen Houston
For the Classic Maya, who fourished in and around the Yucatn penin-
sula in the frst millennium AD, artistic materials were endowed with an
internal life. Far from being inert substances, jade, fint, obsidian, and
wood held a vital essence, agency, and even personality. To work with
these materials was to coax their life into full expression and to engage in
witty play. Writing, too, could shift from hieroglyphic signs into vibrant
glyphs that sprouted torsos, hands, and feet. Appearing to sing, grapple,
and feed, they effectively blurred the distinction between text andimage.
In the frst full study of the nature of Maya materials and animism,
renowned Mayanist scholar Stephen Houston provides startling insights
into a Pre-Columbian worldview that dramatically contrasts with west-
ern perspectives. Illustrated with more than one hundred photographs,
images, and drawings, this beautifully written book reveals the Maya
quest for transcendence in the face of inevitable death anddecay.

Unfamiliar Streets
The Photographs of Richard Avedon, Charles Moore,
Martha Rosler, and Philip-Lorca diCorcia
Katherine A. Bussard
City scenes have been chronicled in photographs since the early 1800s,
but street photography as traditionally defned has captured a relatively
narrow feld of these images. Revolutionizing the history of street pho-
tography, Unfamiliar Streets explores the work of Richard Avedon
(19232004), Charles Moore (19312010), Martha Rosler (b. 1943), and
Philip-Lorca diCorcia (b.1951), American photographers whose careers
in fashion, photojournalism, conceptual art, and contemporary art are
not usually associated with the genre. The lively and engaging text, a
timely response to a growing interest in urban photography, challenges
the traditional understanding of street photography and makes original
and important connections between urban culture and the visual arts,
constructing a new historical model for understanding street photography.
Gorgeously illustrated with more than one hundred images, this book
provides an interpretation of a compelling genre that is as fresh as its con-
sideration of the city streets themselves, sites of commerce, dispossession,
desire, demonstration, power, andspectacle.

Tony Oursler / Vox Vernacular
Laurent Busine, Denis Gielen, and Tony Oursler
American artist Tony Oursler (b.1957) gathers inspiration from the way
peoples desires are extended through interaction with mass media, spe-
cifcally cinema, television, and the internet, and creates fascinating video
installations that combine words with projections of grotesque and sub-
lime images. Tony Oursler / Vox Vernacular compiles ffty transcripts of
Ourslers videos, offering an entirely new way to apprehend the nuances
of his work. The selection of pieces featured in this publication date from
between 1977 and 2013, spanning nearly the entirety of Ourslers practice.
Adding valuable context are scholarly essays explaining Ourslers creative
process and full-color illustrations of hisvideos.
Among other revelations, these transcripts show that Oursler is not merely
a video artist, but a writer as well. The vernacular language that Oursler
employs is written to be spoken by electronic entities and carries a sort
of musical cadence that makes his text surprisingly lyrical. This compre-
hensive anthology uncovers the poetry in Ourslers work and captures the
unique nature of his artisticvoice.

Other Primary Structures
Jens Hoffmann
The landmark Jewish Museum exhibition Primary Structures offered
the frst presentation of Minimalist sculptures in the United States, in
1966. The accompanying catalogue became a key resource on artists
such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, and Sol LeWitt, who
were virtually unknown at the time. Other Primary Structures is a long-
overdue reintroduction of this classic, out-of-print text. This two-volume
set includes a replica of the original catalogue, plus a new companion
volume that offers a global survey of early Minimalist sculpture during
the 1960s and 1970s, featuring important sculptors from Asia, Africa,
Latin America, and Eastern Europe, and complementing the earlier
catalogues focus on American and British artists. Beautifully designed,
this publication comes enclosed in a clear jacket that pays homage to the
original catalogues iconic cover. Other Primary Structures is invaluable
for the study of modern art history and provides an authoritative survey of
Minimalist sculpture in the1960s.

With contributions by Janet Koplos and Susie J. Silbert
Since the 1960s, Leatrice and Melvin Eagle have acquired decorative
arts of the highest quality, beginning with contemporary ceramics and
then expanding to works in other mediums produced from the 1940s to
the present. Although primarily American in scope, their collection also
encompasses signifcant pieces by acclaimed international artists. This
book presents, for the frst time, key highlights from the Eagle collection,

Veronese
Xavier F. Salomon
Paolo Veronese (15281588) was one of the great Venetian artists of the
Renaissance, whose works were admired for their rich colors and mas-
tery of theatrical narrative. His paintings ranged from decorative fresco
schemes and portraits to allegorical, biblical, and historical subjects, pro-
duced for an aristocratic internationalaudience.
This defnitive reappraisal of the artist also provides a fascinating account
of painting and patronage in 16th-century Venice. Xavier F. Salomon
traces Veroneses career from its beginnings in Verona, where he devel-
oped an art shaped by the rediscovery of antiquity, to Venice, where he
established a successful workshop. Salomons discussion of Veroneses
entire output, including his monumental banquet scenes, illuminates
the original function of every work, many of them designed for specifc
locations. Generous illustrations, including numerous details, reveal
the distinctive tactile qualities of Veroneses technique and the beauty
of his palette, whether rendering rich textiles, precious metals or female
complexions. This splendid book makes a signifcant contribution to
scholarship in the feld of 16th-century Venetianpainting.

The Bundi Wall-Paintings in Rajasthan
Rediscovered Treasures
Milo C. Beach
With photographs by Hilde Lauwaert
The royal fort at Bundi, an isolated town in the Indian state of Rajasthan,
is home to elaborately decorated palaces that are among Indias most beau-
tiful buildings. That several of the palaces have been closed to visitors
until recently has kept their painted walls hidden from public view, but it
has also helped their preservation. This unprecedented volume celebrates
the survival of the wall-paintings at Bundi by presenting a stunning pho-
tographic survey of these long-hidden treasures, most published here for
the frst time, and including both abundant details and many small-scale
scenes that are not visible without magnifcation. The paintings depict
daily life at the Bundi court from the early 17th to the late 19th centuries,
as well as scenes from traditional literary and religious texts. The illustra-
tions together reveal the rich cultural inter-relationships that gave these
paintings their unique power and importance. The only substantial pub-
lication devoted specifcally to wall-paintings in the Bundi royal palaces,
this richly illustrated book pays long-overdue tribute to some of Indias
greatest paintedrooms.

Giorgio de Chirico and the
Metaphysical City
Ara H. Merjian
For the artist Giorgio de Chirico (18881978), a founder of the
Metaphysical art movement, the year 1914 marked a momentous and
pivotal time in his aesthetic production. He completed most of his well-
known paintings of metaphysical cityscapes that year, just before the
advent of World War I, while living in Paris. These paintings emerged
within the context of the citys avant-garde circles, and they ultimately
redirected the course of modernist painting. Ara H. Merjians fascinating
text considers the artists representation of architectural space in relation
to his sustained engagement with the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
and addresses why the painters Nietzschean method takes architecture
as its means and metaphor, a physical premise for metaphysical rev-
elation. This remarkable book is the frst signifcant academic study of
Metaphysical painting to be published in English. It not only sheds light
on a key fgure in the history of 20th-century aesthetics but also contrib-
utes to an understanding of Nietzsches impact onmodernism.

Cy Twomblys Things
Kate Nesin
Cy Twombly (19282011) is widely acknowledged as one of the postwar
periods most infuential American artists, yet his sculptures are little
known. From 1946 onward, he made hundreds of rarely exhibited found-
object assemblages, often painted or plastered over with diverse coatings
of white. Across decades, Twombly thus developed a singular, strikingly
consistent body of work, despite the shifting status of sculpture during
hislifetime.
In this revelatory monograph, Kate Nesin frst establishes, then evaluates
the artists long engagement with the historical and contemporary limits
of sculpture, both as medium and as word. While others have described
Twomblys three-dimensional works as timeless, transcendent, and poetic,
Nesin complicates our sense of their so-called poetry, focusing on the pro-
saic, conspicuously material operations of these sculptural things, and
emphasizing the inherent diffculties as well as possibilities of the lan-
guage used to characterize them. Through close readings of individual
works and in-depth analyses of certain guiding concerns, such as surface,
naming, gaps, and repetitions, she illuminates Twomblys remarkable
sculpturalpractice.

John Sloan
Drawing on Illustration
Michael Lobel
The American realist artist John Sloan (18711951) is best known for his
portrayals of daily life in early 20th-century New York and as a member
of The Eight and the Ashcan School, alongside peers like Robert Henri,
Everett Shinn, and George Luks. Sloans artistic approach was shaped
by his experience as a commercial illustrator, a type of work that inau-
gurated his professional careerat newspapers like the Philadelphia
Press and later for mass-market magazinesand which he pursued
even after he turned his focus to painting. In John Sloan: Drawing on
Illustration, Michael Lobel explores the impact of Sloans illustrating on
his wider output, including his paintings, his drawings for the radical
journal TheMasses, and his response to the watershed 1913 Armory Show.
Illuminating the interaction between art and popular culture, this book
provides an important new framework for understanding the modern
genre of illustration, and in so doing touches on major 20th-century cur-
rents, including the rise and expansion of the mass media and the visual
legacy of Europeanmodernism.

Queen Caroline
Cultural Politics at the Early Eighteenth-Century
Court
Joanna Marschner
As the wife of King George II, Caroline of Ansbach became queen of
England in 1727. Known for her intelligence and strong character, Queen
Caroline wielded considerable political power until her death in 1737.
She was enthusiastic and energetic in her cultural patronage, engaging
in projects that touched on the arts, architecture, gardens, literature, sci-
ence, and natural philosophy. This meticulously researched volume will
survey Carolines signifcant contributions to the arts and culture and the
ways in which she used her patronage to strengthen the royal familys con-
nections between the recently installed House of Hanover and English
society. She established an extensive library at St. Jamess Palace, and her
renowned salons attracted many of the great thinkers of the day; Voltaire
wrote of her, I must say that despite all her titles and crowns, this princess
was born to encourage the arts and the well-being of mankind.

After Constructivism
Brandon Taylor
When Constructivism emerged shortly after the Russian Revolution,
its central principles concerned structure and effciency in the work
of art and the nature and properties of materials. In a series of eight
essays, Brandon Taylor examines the origins of these principles and
their extraordinary consequences for the rest of modern art. Even before
Constructivism, structure was a vital ingredient in Cubist art. After it,
ideas about faktura or the madeness of an art objectand about its
rational organizationbecame stock-in-trade for De Stijl in Holland
and Art Concret in France and bore decisively on other currents such
as Surrealism and abstract art. After 1945, artistic movements including
Systems, Kinetic and Minimal Art were all touched by the long reach of
Constructivist ideals. Recent art has proved no exception. Taylor shows
that casual attitudes to materials, even the collapse of Constructivist ide-
als, have helped form the artistic tenor of ourtimes.
BRANDON TAYLOR is professor emeritus, history of art, Southampton University,
and tutor in history and theory of art at the Ruskin School of Fine Art, University
ofOxford.

Intimate Collaborations
Kandinsky and Mnter, Arp and Taeuber
Bibiana K. Obler
This compelling examination of the work and lives of Expressionist art-
ists Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Mnter and Dadaists Hans Arp
and Sophie Taeuber illuminates the roles of gender and the applied arts
in abstractions early days. Both artist couples, like Expressionism and
Dada more generally, strived to transcend the fragmented individual-
ism promoted by capitalism. Through abstraction and by unsettling the
boundaries between the decorative and fne arts, they negotiated tensions
between their philosophical aspirations and the commercial material-
ity of their production. Both pairs were feministthe women ambitious
and the men supportive of their workbut theirs was a feminism that
embraced differences between the sexes. This innovative look at the per-
sonal relationships of two infuential artist couples shows how everyday
lifemundane concerns intermingled and continuous with spiritual and
intellectual endeavorsinfuenced the development ofabstraction.

Brilliant Discourse
Pictures and Readers in Early Modern Rome
Evelyn Lincoln
Sixteenth-century Roman presses turned out hundreds of technical trea-
tises and learned discourses written in the vernacular. Covering topics
as diverse as the cultivation of silkworms, the lives of the saints, and the
order of the cosmos, they made esoteric knowledge accessible to a broad
spectrum of readers. Many of these books were illustrated with beautiful
etchings, engravings, or woodcuts, and some were written in the form of
theatrical and engaging dialogues. For writers, publishers, printers, and
artists, bringing such books into the world changed the lives of those
involved in their production. The process of publication, a risky business
in itself, forged lively social networks centered on making and reading
thesetreatises.
Brilliant Discourse follows the story of the Roman illustrated book from
the printed page back out to the Renaissance streets, piazzas, palaces,
convents, and bookshops where these expensive publications, carefully
shepherded through the press, acted in the real world to create lively com-
munities of readers andviewers.

Impressions of a Lost World
A Century of Chinese Photography, 18601950
Ferdinand M. Bertholet and Lambert van der Aalsvoort
With an introduction by Rgine Thiriez
The fourishing of photography as a medium in the mid-19th century
coincided with a rise in curiosity about China on the part of the Western
world. As the number of foreigners living and traveling in China increased,
early photographs of China were taken by and for an international audi-
ence. Impressions of a Lost World assembles 250 fascinating images of
China in the second half of the 19th century and frst half of the 20th,
captured by the Western camera lens. The photographs portray the gritty
side of the country as well as stunning views of palaces, temples, harbors,
and gardens. This juxtaposition of the sordid and the serene provides a
multidimensional picture of Chinas physical and social landscape before
Mao Zedongs ascent to power changed the country forever. The pho-
tographs, many published here for the frst time, are both beautiful and
moving, and together offer a new understanding of a social and cultural
history associated with a time of signifcant historicalchange.

Richard Wilson and the Transformation of
European Landscape Painting
Edited by Martin Postle and Robin Simon
Long known as the father of British landscape painting, Richard Wilson
(17131782) was in fact at the heart of a profound conceptual shift in
European landscape art. This magnifcently illustrated volume not only
situates Wilsons art at the beginning of a native tradition that would lead
to John Constable and J. M. W. Turner, but compellingly argues that
in Rome during the 1750s Wilson was part of an international group of
artists who reshaped the art of Europe.Rooted in the work of great sev-
enteenth-century masters such as Claude Lorrain but responding to the
early stirrings of neoclassicism, Wilson forged a highly original landscape
vision that through the example of his own works and the tutelage of his
pupils in Rome and later in London would establish itself throughout
northernEurope.

Carrying Coca
Nicola Sharratt
Textile production and consumption has played a central role in the
economy of the Andes region of South America since the Inca Empire
(a.d.14001532). This book traces 1500 years of textile arts in the Andes,
with a focus on chuspas, small bags originally designed to hold coca
leaves; colorful and functional, chuspas are both aesthetically pleasing
and technically sophisticated pieces of art. In an area noted for extreme
weather, textiles produced from the wool of llamas, vicuas, alpacas, and
other indigenous animals were essential in protecting people from the
cold and wind at high altitudes in the Andes. Often stunningly beautiful,
these textiles were also demanded as tribute by the state, and offered as
valuable gifts. Beyond their functional and aesthetic value, textiles have
long played important ritual and social roles in Andean communities.
Fully illustrated, this book offers an important introduction to the rich
history and key roles of thesetextiles.

In the Shadow of Velzquez
A Life in Art History
Jonathan Brown
In this lucid, witty book, the eminent art historian Jonathan Brown exam-
ines links between his personal life and his study of Hispanic art of the
Golden Age. His adventures are offered as a model for understanding how
art history is shaped by life experiences, and he describes the infuence
of his parents, Jean and Leonard Brown, noted collectors of documenta-
tion of 20th-century avant-garde movements.His turn to research on the
Golden Age of Spanish art was motivated by a year in Madrid, 195859.
Art history in Spain was modeled on the policies of the Franco regime,
and Brown sought to fnd different ways to interpret Spanish painting.
His approach is demonstrated by fresh insight into painters, including
Velzquez. A new interpretation of Las Meninas is proposed and the per-
ils of attribution are examined. Later in his career, Brown began to study
the transformation of Spanish art in theAmericas.
The book originated as a series of six lectures delivered at the Museo
Nacional del Prado in2012.

Warm Flesh, Cold Marble
Canova, Thorvaldsen, and Their Critics
David Bindman
This brilliant book focuses on the aesthetic concerns of the two most
important sculptors of the early 19th century, the great Italian sculp-
tor Antonio Canova (17571822) and his illustrious Danish rival Bertel
Thorvaldsen (17701844). Rather than comparing their artistic output,
the distinguished art historian David Bindman addresses the possible
impact of Kantian aesthetics on their work. Both artists had elevated
reputations, and their sculptures attracted interest from philosophically
minded critics. Despite the sculptors own apparent disdain for theory,
Bindman argues that they were in dialogue with and greatly infuenced
by philosophical and critical debates, and made many decisions in creat-
ing their sculptures specifcally in response to those debates. Warm Flesh,
Cold Marble considers such intriguing topics as the aesthetic autonomy
of works of art, the gender of the subject, the effcacy of marble as an
imitative medium, the question of color and texture in relation to ideas
and practices of antiquity, and the relationship between the whiteness of
marble and ideas ofrace.

Gustave Moreau
History Painting, Spirituality, and Symbolism
Peter Cooke
The acclaimed French painter Gustave Moreau (18261898) strove
to renew history painting by creating epic art in a nonacademic man-
ner. In this thought-provoking book, Peter Cooke explains how Moreau
essentially created pictorial Symbolism through his novel approach to the
genre of history painting. In the process, the author closely examines the
artist through some of his major paintings, his ideology and aesthetic, and,
for the frst time, in relation to other artists of his time and of the previous
generations. The narrative follows Moreaus career from his Neoclassical
and academic training through his conversion to Romanticism, his stud-
ies in Italy, his experiences as an exhibitor at the Paris Salon, and his
subsequent years as a professor at the cole des Beaux-Arts and as the
founder of his own museum. By drawing on unpublished manuscripts
from the Muse Gustave Moreau in Paris, Cooke presents fresh insights
into how Moreaus art refects his spiritualist, Catholic ideology, as well as
his controversial effect on the art world of histime.
PETER COOKE is a senior lecturer in French studies at the University ofManchester.

Romanesque Architecture
Eric Fernie
In a new addition to the Pelican History of Art series, leading architectural
historian Eric Fernie presents a fascinating survey of Romanesque archi-
tecture and the political systems that gave rise to the style. It is known
for its thick walls, round arches, piers, groin vaults, large towers, and
decorative arcading, as well as the measured articulation of volumes and
surfaces. Romanesque architecture was the frst distinctive style to domi-
nate western and central Europe. The book explores the gestation of the
style in the ninth and tenth centuries and its survival up to the fourteenth
century. Notable structures include Speyer Cathedral, SantAmbrogio
in Milan, the abbeys of Cluny, and Vzelay, the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem, and Durham Cathedral, as well as the castles of
Loches and Dover. A superb teaching tool, close to 400 illustrations pack
this seminal text describing the design, function, and iconography of key
church, monastic and secular buildings of a formativeera.
ERIC FERNIE was director of the Courtauld Institute of Art between 1995 and 2003
and president of the Society of Antiquaries of London from 2004 until2007.

Space, Hope, and Brutalism
English Architecture, 19451975
Elain Harwood
This is the frst major book to study English architecture between 1945
and 1975 in its entirety. Challenging previous scholarship on the subject
and uncovering vast amounts of new material at the boundaries between
architectural and social history, Elain Harwood structures the book
around building types to reveal why the architecture takes the form it
does. Buildings of all budgets and styles are examined, from major uni-
versities to the modest caf. The book is illustrated with stunning new
photography that reveals the logic, aspirations, and beauty of hundreds of
buildings throughout England, at the point where many are disappearing
or are beingmutilated.
Space, Hope, and Brutalism offers a convincing and lively overview of a
subject and period that fascinates younger scholars and appeals to those
who were witnesses to thishistory.

Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and the
World of Elizabethan Art
Painting and Patronage at the Court of Elizabeth I
Elizabeth Goldring
This book is the frst comprehensive survey of aristocratic art collecting
and patronage in Elizabethan England, as seen through the activities of
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (ca. 15321588). One of the most fasci-
nating and controversial people of his day, Leicester was also the most
important patron of painters at the Elizabethan court. He amassed a
substantial art collection, including commissioned works by Nicholas
Hilliard, Paolo Veronese, and Federico Zuccaro; helped foster the birth
of an English vernacular discourse on the visual arts; and was an early
exponent, in England, of the Italian Renaissance view of the painter as
the practitioner of a liberal art and, thus, ft company for the educated and
well-born. Although Leicesters picture collection and personal papers
were widely dispersed after his death, this volumes pioneering research
reconstructs his lost world and, with it, a turning point in the history of
British art. Some of the paintings featured here are little-known images
from private collections, never before reproduced incolor.

Ravaged
Art and Heritage in Times of Confict
Edited by Jo Tollebeek and Eline van Assche
The year 2014 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the assassina-
tion of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and the beginning of the
confict that would become known as World War I. In addition to the
devastating loss of human life, the Great War was also responsible for the
destruction of historic buildings and monuments, the theft of precious
artworks, and the burning of untold numbers of books. Ravaged uses this
anniversary as a poignant gateway to a greater discussion of the effect of
war on artistic heritage. Beginning with the Trojan War and weaving a
compelling cross-cultural narrative that ends in the 21st-century Middle
East, this affecting publication explores how cultural treasures often
became silent victims of armed confict. Illustrations highlight over two
hundred artworks and relics, which are often featured alongside comple-
mentary written refections from contemporary artists. This thoughtful
book is a graceful homage to centuries of lost artistictreasures.

Worldly Gurus and Spiritual Kings
Architecture and Asceticism in Medieval India
Tamara I. Sears
This pioneering book is the frst full-length study of the matha, or Hindu
monastery, which developed in India at the turn of the frst millennium.
Rendered monumentally in stone, the matha represented more than
just an architectural innovation: it signaled the institutionalization of
asceticism into a formalized monastic practice, as well as the emergence
of the guru as an infuential public fgure. With entirely new primary
research, Tamara I. Sears examines the architectural and archaeologi-
cal histories of six little-known monasteries in Central India and reveals
the relationships between political power, religion, and the production
of sacred space. This important work of scholarship features scrupulous
original measured drawings, providing a vast amount of new material and
a much-needed contribution to the felds of Asian art, religious studies,
and cultural history. In introducing new categories of architecture, this
book illuminates the potential of buildings to reconfgure not only social
and ritual relationships but also the fundamental ontology of theworld.

How to Read Oceanic Art
Eric Kjellgren
An engaging explanation of Oceanic art and
an important gateway to wider appreciation of
Oceanic heritage and visual culture
Art from Oceania, the region encompassing the islands
of the central and south Pacifc, spans hundreds of dis-
tinct artistic processes, formats, and mediums. Many
peoples exposure to Oceanic art comes through its
infuence on the work of European artists, and there-
fore Oceanic works themselves often remain diffcult
for Western viewers to interpret and comprehend. How
to Read Oceanic Art, the third book in a series of guides
to understanding different artistic genres, helps eluci-
date this subject through explanation of specifcobjects.
The book analyzes the most illustrative Oceanic pieces
from The Metropolitan Museums collectioninclud-
ing lively painted masks, powerful fgurines, and
intricately carved wooden poleswhich together rep-
resent the extraordinary diversity of artistic traditions
in the region. Attractive photography and clear, engag-
ing texts explain how and why various works were made
as well as how they were used. This publication is an
invaluable resource for art historical study, and also an
important gateway to wider appreciation of Oceanic
heritage and visualculture.

James Ensor
The Temptation of Saint Anthony
Susan M. Canning and Kimberly J. Nichols
With an introduction by Herwig Todts
This engaging volume describes the creation and restoration of the
extraordinary large-scale drawing The Temptation of Saint Anthonya
work by late 19th-century Belgian artist James Ensor (18601949) that is
composed of ffty-one sheets of paper collaged into a hallucinatory social
critique and artists manifesto. Each sheet of the nearly six-foot-high work
is reproduced at actual size, revealing Ensors remarkable technique
and fertile imagination. Here, Saint Anthony is surrounded not with
natureas customarybut with the moral decay of society. Replete with
tiny scenes depicting both sexual temptation and spiritual piety, Ensor
splices potent imagery from travelogues, popular science, and technol-
ogy magazines into a Symbolist masterpiece. Susan M. Canning and
Kimberly J. Nichols recount the fascinating tale that led to the works
restoration and frst public showing in more than sixtyyears.

Of Green Leaf, Bird, and Flower
Artists Books and the Natural World
Elisabeth Fairman
Highlighting an enduring interest in natural history from the 16th cen-
tury to the present, this gorgeous book explores depictions of the natural
world, from centuries-old manuscripts to contemporary artists books.
It examines the scientifc pursuits in the 18th and 19th centuries that
resulted in the collecting and cataloguing of the natural world. It also
investigates the aesthetically oriented activities of self-taught naturalists
in the 19th century, who gathered fowers, ferns, seaweed, feathers, and
other naturalia into albums. Examples of 20th- and 21st-century artists
books, including those of Eileen Hogan, Mandy Bonnell, and Tracey
Bush, broaden the vision of the natural world to incorporate its interac-
tion with consumer culture and with modern technologies. Featuring
dazzling illustrations, the book itself is designed to evoke a feldwork note-
book, and features a collection pocket and ribbonmarkers.

The Funk & Wag from A to Z
Mel Chin
This striking, oversized book, designed to evoke encyclopedias, is a highly
creative amalgam of collage with a political bent and poetry. From 2011
to 2012, American artist Mel Chin (b.1951) extracted all of the images
from a twenty-fve-volume set of Funk & Wagnalls Universal Standard
Encyclopedia (ca. 195356) and began visually re-editing. Thousands of
images rendered by photomechanical reproduction that served a populist,
mid-century encyclopedia are reconfgured with 21st-century hindsight
and idiosyncratic connections that convey social and artistic commentar-
ies. Surrealism, humor, sarcasm, politics, history, and beauty permeate
these sometimes raucous, often confounding, but consistently stunning
images. Over 500 black-and-white collages are accompanied by twenty-
fve poems, one per encyclopedia volume, commissioned by Chin and
author Nick Flynn specifcally for this publication. Writers range from
the well-known to the surprising. The Funk & Wag from A to Z offers
mischievous fun with pointed commentary andhilarity.
MEL CHIN is an artist who has been practicing for more than thirty years and mak-
ing work that is wide-ranging, cross-cultural, and multidisciplinary, touching on
politics, identity, ecology, surrealism, poetry, andscience.

Bruce Davidson/Paul Caponigro
Two American Photographers in Britain and Ireland
Jennifer A. Watts and Scott Wilcox
Bruce Davidson (b. 1933) and Paul Caponigro (b. 1932) are two of the
greatest American photographers of their generation. Working in differ-
ent traditions, and exhibiting fundamentally distinct approaches, they
are both brilliant observers whose art inspires and provokes. This book,
the frst to pair the two, examines the work they produced during visits
to Britain and Ireland in the 1960s and 1970s. The gritty sensibility that
made Bruce Davidsons series Brooklyn Gang such a sensation was unmis-
takable as he trained his camera on the gamut of British society, travelling
from London to Scotland and later to the mining region of Wales. Paul
Caponigro, steeped in a formalist black-and-white landscape tradition,
made expressive portraits of prehistoric stone circles, dolmens, and
ancient Irish churches in the landscape. Bruce Davidson/Paul Caponigro
brings the work of these artists together into a dramatic visualdialogue.

Rembrandts Themes
Life into Art
Richard Verdi
Rembrandt van Rjin (16061669) was among the few celebrated old mas-
ters who enjoyed considerable freedom in his choice of subject matter.
Living and working in the Protestant Netherlands, he painted largely for
private patrons and the open market, selecting his own subjects in the
hope of fnding buyers. Although he depicted biblical, historical, and
mythological themes in emulation of the great artists of the past, his sub-
jects often focus on fundamental human experiences and emotions that
transcend their literary sources. Even when working within the confnes
of specifc commissions, Rembrandt managed to imbue his paintings
with deeper, personal meanings. These works reveal the artists profound
humanity and at times refect the circumstances of his life. This illuminat-
ing study explores some of the central themes of Rembrandts paintings,
drawings, and etchings: grandlove, sin, repentance and forgiveness,
adultery, fatherhood, and the confict between the generationsas well
as mundane and idiosyncratic. It demonstrates how Rembrandts subjects
can offer new revelations about this complexartist.

Fine Arts, University ofBirmingham.

Preaching, Building, and Burying
Friars in the Medieval City
Caroline Bruzelius
Friars transformed the relationship of the church to laymen by taking
religion outside to public and domestic spaces. Mendicant commitment
to apostolic poverty bound friars to donors in an exchange of donations
in return for intercessory prayers and burial: association with friars
was believed to reduce the suffering of purgatory. Mendicant convents
became urban cemeteries, warehouses flled with family tombs, fags,
shields, and privatealtars.
As mendicants became progressively institutionalized and sought legiti-
macy, friars adopted the architectural structures of monasticism: chapter
houses, cloisters, dormitories, and refectories. They also created piaz-
zas for preaching and burying outside their churches. Construction
depended on assembling adequate funding from communes, confrater-
nities, and private individuals; it was also sometimes supported by the
expropriation of property from heretics. Because of irregular funding,
construction was episodic, with substantial changes in scale and design.
Choir screens served as temporary west faades while funds were raised
for completion. This is the frst book to analyze the friars infuence on
the growth and transformation of medieval buildings and urbanspaces.

Cornwall
Peter Beacham and Nikolaus Pevsner
Cornwall was the frst volume in the Buildings of England series, pub-
lished in 1951. This extensively revised edition brings much new research
to bear on the history of the countys buildings, beginning with its rich
prehistoric remains and early Christian structures and monuments
including numerous Celtic crosses and holy wells. The high towers of
the village churches, manor houses such as Cotehele, and the distinc-
tive white-walled cottages in the villages and fshing towns contribute to
Cornwalls unique, picturesque landscape. Cornwall is home to major
country houses, including the spectacular castle of St Michaels Mount,
as well as the greatest English cathedral of the Victorian age at Truro.
The architectural legacy of industry is also of considerable importance,
from the net houses of the fshing industry to the tapering engine-house
chimneys of the tinmines.

Swedish Wooden Toys
Edited by Amy F. Ogata and Susan Weber
Combining the best of Scandinavian design with a plentiful indigenous
supply of trees, the Swedish toy industry has long produced vast quan-
tities of colorful, quality wooden items. This superbly illustrated book,
including specially commissioned photography, looks at over 100 years
of Swedish toys, from historic heirlooms to the latest in design and edu-
cational value. Featuring everything from rattles, full-size rocking horses,
dollhouses, and building blocks to skis, sleds, and tabletop games with
intricate moving pieces, Swedish Wooden Toys will also address the chal-
lenges involved in maintaining what is essentially craft manufacturing in
an era of mass-production. Special attention is given to educational toys
and their social value, as well as to individual manufacturing companies
with famous names such as Brio andLundby.

Berlinde de Bruyckere
Edited by Angela Mengoni
With Murat Alat and Gary Carrion-Murayari
Belgian artist Berlinde de Bruyckere (b. 1964) is a star of the contem-
porary art world whose innovative practice focuses on sculpture. This
publication, the frst-ever monograph on de Bruyckere, offers a defni-
tive and comprehensive look at the scope of her work over more than
twenty years. The book includes de Bruyckeres frst sculptures from the
1990s, mainly meditations on the human body in wax and wool, as well
as her later sculptures with horses that earned her international acclaim.
De Bruyckeres works, showcased in over two hundred rich illustrations,
are rife with astonishing contradictionsthey are simultaneously invit-
ing and discomforting, embodied and abstract. A deep meditation on the
universal issues of bodily fragility and pain, her work also conveys a rich
cultural memory in visual form, as shown by one of the standout wax
pieces in the monograph, her monumental KreupelhoutCripplewood
made for the Belgian pavilion at the Venice Biennale 55th International
Art Exhibition, which exudes the vulnerability of the fallen, the human-
ity of a piet. This book is an essential resource on an artist whose works
are a provocative and infuential addition to the contemporary artcanon.

The Sixteenth Century Netherlandish
Paintings, with French Paintings Before 1600
Lorne Campbell
The National Gallery, London possesses an important collection of paint-
ings by 16th-century Netherlandish artists, including Joachim Beuckelaer,
Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jean Gossart, and Quinten
Massys. They are grouped here with a small number of French paintings,
some by artists who came from the Low Countries (Corneille de Lyon,
probably Jean Hey, and perhaps the Master of Saint Giles).
Lorne Campbells catalogue is a model of scholarship; he examined all
the pictures with conservators and rigorously researched their histories,
subjects, and styles. New discoveries about artists techniques and prac-
tices have led to many reattributions, and the rescue from anonymity of
over twenty paintings. The identities of several patrons are established
or suggested, while an introductory essay explains how contemporaries

Untangling the Web
Gegos Reticulrea, An Anthology of Critical Response
Organized by Mara Elena Huizi and Ester Crespn
Edited by Mari Carmen Ramrez and Melina Kervandjian
Gego (19121994) pioneered a new direction in art with her innova-
tive sculptures of the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Germany as Gertrud
Goldschmidt,she fed the Nazi regime and moved to Caracas, Venezuela,
where she absorbed modernist trendsbut ultimately forged her own artis-
tic path.Exploring the concept of the line, space, and time, she linked
pieces of metal to create weblike geometric forms, which she called draw-
ings in space. These experiments culminated in Reticulrea, a massive
netlike sculptural installation frst presented at the Museo de Bellas Artes,
Caracas, in 1969. This groundbreaking work had major repercussions in
the art world and marked a turning point in Gegos career. Centered on
the various iterations of this work and its artistic impact, this anthology
brings together images as well as documentary materials and primary
texts in English and Spanish by artists, writers, andGego.
