A conversAtion
with DAviD MArgolick
Your previous book, Beyond Glory, was about the great boxing matches between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling. How did you get from there to Little Rock, 1957? Actually, I began the two projects at roughly the same time. While in Little Rock to do a Clinton-related magazine story in 1999, I visited the museum across from Central High School. Like so many others, I well knew the picture of Elizabeth and Hazel from 1957. So I was flabbergasted to see a poster there showing the two of them, now grown women, standing next to one another, smiling, apparently reconciled. How had that happened? It seemed inconceivable. So I began gathering material on it. The two projects share a lot, in addition to their racial themes; each focuses on a discrete eventthe first, a fight lasting about two minutes, the second, an exposure lasting probably a sixtieth of a secondto reveal an era. Was it difficult to find Elizabeth and get her to speak with you? No, Elizabeth was in the same house shed lived in the day the picture was taken. I had expected her to be resistant but she wasnt at all, particularly once we got going. Elizabeth has an enormous respect for history and the historical process. And Hazel? Hazel was much more reluctant. Though she left school at seventeen, shes read widely in the history of American race relations, and knew of the historic alliance between blacks and Jews. For that reason, among others, she feared that Elizabeth and I would gang up on her. I made a very poor impression on her in our first meeting, and as the fragile friendship shed struck up with Elizabeth faltered, her position toward me hardened. It was only seven years later, after an early version of this story appeared in Vanity Fair, that she relented. Then she opened up to me, and I came to realize how remarkable a person she, too, is. Did you have any idea that their personal stories would intersect in such a fascinating way? I knew, from the poster, that theyd come together again. But only later did I learn that five years or so after the picture was taken, Hazel had called Elizabeth to apologize. That was enormously significant to me, a key to her character. It said to me that for all the skepticism and hostility Hazel has encountered over the years, she in fact did the right thing in the right way: early on, when no cameras were rolling. The book took you twelve years to complete. Why so long? Well, apart from the multitasking that all journalists must do these days, the story turned out to be endlessly rich. I interviewed dozens of people, some repeatedly, including seven of the other eight of the Little Rock Nine. I shudder to think how many times I questioned Elizabeth; whenever I told her I was almost certainly done she laughed, because she knew there would be more questions. Hazel also put up with a lot of me. Can you tell us something about your most recent trip to Little Rock? Though my reporting was pretty much finished, I accompanied my friend Larry Schiller as he took portraits of the two women. We thought it essential to capture how two faces that are seared into the national memory had evolved with time and experience. Two of those photographs appear on the jacket of my book. Being with Elizabeth and Hazel one last time, and recording them once more for history, was very moving.

Eric Hobsbawm
A penetrating reassessment of Marxist thought and its relevance today, by a world-renowned historian of Marxism
We need to take account of Marx today, argues Eric Hobsbawm in this persuasive and highly readable book. The ideas of capitalisms most vigorous and eloquent enemy have been enlightening in every era, the author contends, and our current historical situation of freemarket extremes suggests that reading Marx may be more important now than ever. Hobsbawm begins with a consideration of how we should think about Marxism in the post-communist era, observing that the features we most associate with Soviet and related regimescommand economies, intrusive bureaucratic structures, and an economic and political condition of permanent warare neither derived from Marxs ideas nor unique to socialist states. Further chapters discuss pre-Marxian socialists and Marxs radical break with them, Marxs political How to Change the World is the best book milieu, and the influence of his writings on the anti- on Marx and his legacy that I have read fascist decades, the Cold War, and the postCold War in years.

The Essential Role It Plays in Resolving Conflict in our Lives and Relationships Donna Hicks, Ph.D.
Foreword by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
Dignity
The first comprehensive exploration of dignity, its role in human conflict, and its power to improve relationships of all kinds
The desire for dignity is universal and powerful. It is a motivating force behind all human interactionin families, in communities, in the business world, and in relationships at the international level. When dignity is violated, the response is likely to involve aggression, even violence, hatred, and vengeance. on the other hand, when people treat one another with dignity, they become more connected and are able to create more meaningful relationships. Surprisingly, most people have little understanding of dignity, observes Donna Hicks in this important book. She examines the reasons for this gap and offers a new set of strategies for becoming aware of dignitys vital role in our lives and learning to put dignity into practice in everyday life. Drawing on her extensive experience in international conflict resolution and on insights from evolution- original, soundly grounded in ary biology, psychology, and neuroscience, the author scholarship, and extremely important explains what the elements of dignity are, how to recog- and timely!Evelin Lindner, nize dignity violations, how to respond when we are not Founding President, Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies treated with dignity, how dignity can restore a broken relationship, why leaders must understand the concept of dignity, and more.

In writing about black womens politics, why did you focus on psychological and emotional questions rather than resource inequalities, institutional practices, or traditional forms of political participation? I wanted this book to contribute to our understanding of black women as citizens. At first, I expected to write a more traditional political science text about women who organize in communities and run for office. But my research efforts kept bringing me back to black womens internal emotional experiences. The women I interviewed were keenly aware of race and gender barriers, resource disparities, and limited opportunities, but when they talked about themselves as Americans, they focused on psychic pain, emotional stress, debilitating shame, and the pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations. Many felt that they were trying to do politics in an environment where no one was willing to see them accurately or compassionately. Sister Citizen discusses several stereotypes about black women. What are they, and why did you choose to explore them? In Sister Citizen I focus on three of the most pervasive and damaging historical stereotypes: Jezebel, Mammy, and the Angry Black Woman (Sapphire). Jezebel is an old myth asserting that black women are hypersexual, lusty, and wanton. This stereotype continues to influence public policy discussions about welfare assistance and reproductive rights. Mammy is the hypercompetent but completely nonthreatening black woman. The image of the devoted Mammy who uses her talents and skills to benefit the white domestic sphere is an epic stereotype promulgated in advertising, popular culture, and politics. Sapphire is a more contemporary archetype characterizing black women as aggressively and irrationally irate. It can be difficult for black women to get a fair hearing of their views if their passionate expressions are filtered through this negative assumption. Finally, I explore the myth of the strong black woman. Unlike the other stereotypes, which black women agree are negative and false, many African American women both believe and embrace the idea that they are endowed with a superhuman capacity to conquer overwhelming challenges. We might see this myth of strength as a positive counter to the negative stereotypes, but there are adverse consequences for black women who are determined to don the mantle of strength. overall, I try to understand how black womens attempts to manage both the negative stereotypes and this presumably empowering myth can influence how they feel as they approach their political lives. Why does Hurricane Katrina occupy such an important place in this book? I believe that the political and psychological aftermath of Hurricane katrina revealed critical fissures in our national life. For me, New orleans is ground zero for understanding black women as citizens and as survivors. It is why I now make the city my home and why I have initiated at Tulane University a program on gender, race, and politics in the South. The last chapter deals with Michelle Obama. Why? Michelle obama holds no official political position, has never run for office, and has no personal history of political organizing, yet she is profoundly important to understanding the challenges that black women face in American public life. Her management of her public image is instructive about how black women navigate race and gender stereotypes. Because she is First Lady, her efforts to gain accurate public recognition are emblematic of those engaged in by many black women.

From a highly respected thinker on race, gender, and American politics, a new consideration of black women and how distorted stereotypes affect their political beliefs
Jezebels sexual lasciviousness, Mammys devotion, and Sapphires outspoken angerthese are among the most persistent stereotypes that black women encounter in contemporary American life. Hurtful and dishonest, such representations force African American women to navigate a virtual crooked room that shames them and shapes their experiences as citizens.

But as a result, the unique political issues of black women are often ignored and marginalized. In this groundbreaking book, Melissa v.

Mary I
John Edwards
A new appraisal of the first Tudor queen, her European connections, her ambitions and intentions, and the religious violence that stained her short reign
The lifestory of Mary Idaughter of Henry vIII and his Spanish wife, Catherine of Aragonis often distilled to a few dramatic episodes: her victory over the attempted coup by Lady Jane Grey, the imprisonment of her halfsister Elizabeth, the bloody burning of Protestants, her short marriage to Philip of Spain. This original and deeply researched biography paints a far more detailed portrait of Mary and offers a fresh understanding of her religious faith and policies as well as her historical significance in England and beyond. John Edwards, a leading scholar of English and Spanish history, is the first to make full use of Continental archives in this context, especially Spanish ones, to demonstrate how Marys culture, Catholic faith, and politics were thoroughly Spanish. Edwards begins with Marys origins, follows her as she battles her increasingly erratic father, and focuses particular attention on her notorious religious policies, some of which went horribly wrong from her point of view. The book concludes with a consideration of Marys five-year reign and the frustrations that plagued her final years. Childless, ill, deserted by her husband, Mary died in the full knowledge that her Protestant half-sister Elizabeth would undo her religious work and, without acknowledging her sister, would reap the benefits of Marys achievements in government.

A richly insightful reading of the King James Bible as a literary masterwork, published for the texts 400-year anniversary
The king James Bible stands at the sublime summit of literature in English, sharing the honor only with Shakespeare, Harold Bloom contends in the opening pages of this illuminating literary tour. Distilling the insights acquired from a significant portion of his career as a brilliant critic and teacher, he offers readers at last the book he has been writing all my long life, a magisterial and intimately perceptive reading of the king James Bible as a literary masterpiece. Bloom calls it an inexplicable wonder that a rather undistinguished group of writers could bring forth such a magnificent work of literature, and he credits William Tyndale as their fountainhead. Reading the king James Bible alongside Tyndales Bible, the Geneva Bible, and the original Hebrew and Greek texts, Bloom highlights how the translators and editors improved uponor, in some cases, diminishedthe earlier versions. He invites readers to hear the baroque inventiveness in such sublime books as the Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, and alerts us to the echoes of the king James Bible in works from the Romantic period to the present day. Throughout, Bloom makes an impassioned and convincing case for reading the king James Bible as literature, free from dogma and with an appreciation of its enduring aesthetic value.

Two Family Stories from the Reformation and Modern America Craig Harline
The experiences of two familiesone in seventeenth-century Holland, the other in America todayand how they coped when a family member changed religions
This powerful and innovative work by a gifted cultural historian explores the effects of religious conversion on family relationships, showing how the challenges of the Reformation can offer insight to families facing similarly divisive situations today. Craig Harline begins with the story of young Jacob Rolandus, the son of a Dutch Reformed preacher, who converted to Catholicism in 1654 and ran away from home, causing his family to disown him. In the companion story, Michael Sunbloom, a young American, leaves his familys religion in 1973 to convert to Mormonism, similarly upsetting his distraught parents. The modern twist to Michaels story is his realization that he is gay, causing him to leave his new church, and upsetting his A beautiful and moving book. Harline parents againbut this time the family reconciles. Recounting these stories in short, alternating chapters, Harline underscores the parallel aspects of the two farflung families. Despite different outcomes and forms, their situations involve nearly identical dynamics and heart-wrenching choices. Through the authors deeply informed imagination, the experiences of a seventeenth-century European family are transformed into immediately recognizable terms.

The Triumph and the Tragedy of a Great victorian Adventure Tim Jeal
From the best-selling author of Stanley, a riveting account of the explorers who risked everything in their search for the source of the Nile
Nothing obsessed explorers of the mid-nineteenth century more than the quest to discover the source of the White Nile. It was the planets most elusive secret, the prize coveted above all others. Between 1856 and 1876, six larger-than-life men and one extraordinary woman accepted the challenge. Showing extreme courage and resilience, Richard Burton, John Hanning Speke, James Augustus Grant, Samuel Baker, Florence von Sass, David Livingstone, and Henry Morton Stanley risked their lives and reputations in the fierce competition. Award-winning author Tim Jeal deploys fascinating new research to provide a vivid tableau of the unmapped Dark Continent, its jungle deprivations, and the courageas well as malicious tacticsof the explorers. on multiple forays launched into east and central Africa, the travelers passed through almost impenetrable terrain and suffered the ravages of flesh-eating ulcers, paralysis, malaria, deep spear wounds, and even death. They discovered Lakes Tanganyika and victoria and became the first white people to encounter the kingdoms of Buganda and Bunyoro. Jeal weaves the story with authentic new detail and examines the tragic unintended legacy of the Nile search that still casts a long shadow over the people of Uganda and Sudan.
TIM JEAL is the author of acclaimed biographies of Livingstone, Baden-Powell, and Stanley, each selected as a Notable Book of the year by the New York Times and the Washington Post. He lives in London.

Emma Goldman

A vibrant, deeply human portrait of a woman dedicated to fierce protest against the tyranny of institutions over individuals, by the celebrated author
Emma Goldman is the story of a modern radical who took seriously the idea that inner liberation is the first business of social revolution. Her politics, from beginning to end, was based on resistance to that which thwarted the free development of the inner self. The right to stay alive in ones senses, to enjoy freedom of thought and speech, to reject the arbitrary use of powerthese were key demands in the many public protest movements she helped mount. Anarchist par excellence, Goldman is one of the memorable political figures of our time, not because of her gift for theory or analysis or even strategy, but because some extraordinary force of life in her burned, without rest or respite, on behalf of human integrityand she was able to make the thousands of people who, for decades on Gornicks portrayal of Goldman end, flocked to her lectures, feel intimately connected captures Goldmans psychological to the pain inherent in the abuse of that integrity.

What do you most want people to understand from reading this book? I hope the book illuminates how an issue that is more or less settled in every other democracy became a seemingly intractable political problem in the United States. It did not have to turn out this way. The legislation adopted in 2010 has its roots in moderate Republican proposals. But Americas polarized politics make it difficult to see the reforms clearly and put them in historical perspective. I hope the book helps to provide that understanding. Whats the relationship of Remedy and Reaction to your 1984 book, The Social Transformation of American Medicine? In some ways its a sequel, but each of its three parts has a somewhat different foundation. Part one, about how health-care reform and the health-care system took shape during the twentieth century, presents the same kind of social and historical analysis as Social Transformation did. But Part Two, which deals with the parallel stories of the Clinton health plan and Republican health reforms in the Gingrich and Bush years, also reflects my observations inside the Clinton White House. Thats a kind of experience not usually available to historians. Finally, Part Three, about the battle over health-care reform under obama, combines journalism and historical analysis because it draws on interviews with participants, many of whom I know from my prior time in Washington. Why did Obama succeed where Clinton failed? Between 1993 and 2009, the biggest change was the emergence of a consensus about the basic elements of legislation among reformers, major interest groups, and leading Democrats in Congress. The reforms adopted in Massachusetts in 2006 as a result of Mitt Romneys leadership were critical in shaping that consensus. obama accepted that approach; he didnt originate it. Romney probably deserves more credit for the basic architecture of the national reforms, and I hope one day he proudly accepts that credit. Didnt Obamas leadership matter? If obama hadnt decided to make health-care reform a priority as president, it would never have passed. Why did he take it on? His earlier history didnt indicate a deep commitment to health-care reform. I think the 2008 presidential campaign was crucial because of the pressure from the party base to confront the issue, plus an accident of history: he ran into Hillary Clinton on the way to the nomination, and debating her forced him to master health policy. Perhaps most important, the support for reform from key stakeholder groups and members of Congress changed the political calculus on health care. Thats what made it a better bet than climate legislation.

The Peculiar American Struggle over Health Care Reform Paul Starr
A leading expert explains how Americans trapped themselves in a costly and complicated health systemand came to fight so bitterly about changing it
In no other country has health care served as such a volatile flashpoint of ideological conflict. America has endured a century of rancorous debate on health insurance, and despite the passage of legislation in 2010, the battle is not yet over. This book is a history of how and why the United States became so stubbornly different in health care, presented by an expert with unsurpassed knowledge of the issues. Tracing health-care reform from its beginnings to its current uncertain prospects, Paul Starr argues that the United States ensnared itself in a trap through policies that satisfied enough of the public and so enriched the health-care industry as to make the system difficult to change. He reveals the inside story of the rise and fall of the Clinton health plan in the early 1990sand of the Gingrich counterrevolution that followed. And he explains the curious tale of how Mitt Romneys reforms in Massachusetts became a model for Democrats and then follows both the passage of those reforms under obama and the explosive reaction they elicited from conservatives. Writing concisely and with an even hand, the author offers exactly what is needed as the debate continuesa penetrating account of how health care became such treacherous terrain in American politics.
PAUL STARR is professor of sociology and public affairs, Princeton University, and co-founder and co-editor of The American Prospect. His 1984 book The Social Transformation of American Medicine won the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction and the Bancroft Prize in American history.

Freedom of choice is at the core of the American story. But what if choice is fake?
Americans are fixated on the idea of choice. our political theory is based on the consent of the governed. our legal system is built upon the argument that people freely make choices and bear responsibility for them. And what slogan could better express the heart of our consumer culture than Have it your way? In this provocative book, kent Greenfield poses unsettling questions about the choices we make. What if they are more constrained and limited than we like to think? If we have less free will than we realize, what are the implications for us as individuals and for our society? To uncover the answers, Greenfield taps into scholarship on topics ranging from brain science to economics, political theory to sociology. His discoveriestold through an entertaining array of news events, personal anecdotes, crime stories, and legal decisions confirm that many factors, conscious and unconscious, limit our free will. Worse, by failing to perceive them we leave ourselves open to manipulation. But Greenfield offers useful suggestions to help us become better decision makers as individuals, and to ensure that in our laws and public policy we acknowledge the complexity of choice.

Why did you write this book? Philosophy is one of the most stimulating and important subjects there is. We all philosophize some of the time when we think about how we should live, whether or not God exists, or how society should be organized. These questions have vexed the greatest minds for thousands of years. yet some people are still daunted by philosophy. They think its an impenetrable and obscure subject that has no relevance for them. I wanted to show this isnt true, that its possible to write an accessible and enjoyable book without betraying the spirit of the great thinkers of the past or making them obscure or irrelevant. I decided to focus on the Western tradition in philosophy and on one or two key ideas from each philosopher discussed rather than attempt an encyclopedic overview. How is making philosophy accessible to all a challenge? Part of the challenge of writing a book like this was to keep the language straightforward. Many philosophers have introduced complex technical terms that make their writing hard to follow. Its easy to fall into the habit of mirroring them. Writing in a way that doesnt presuppose knowledge is an excellent discipline, though, as theres no place to hide.
Which philosophers do you personally find most engaging? Socrates, the great fifth-century Athenian philosopher who would crossquestion passersby in the marketplace and reveal how little they really knew, is one of my personal favourites. His unwillingness to accept assumptions, and his passion for discovering the truth or, failing that, how little he knew, provide a model for all philosophers. Although he wasnt the first philosopher, he was the first great philosopher. He of all the philosophers in the book is the one Id most like to have met. My second choice would be the eighteenth-century philosopher David Hume, a remarkable thinker who was also a superb writer. What are the major themes of your book? A Little History of Philosophy focuses on the major themes of philosophy: appearance and reality, the nature of the self, and questions about Gods existence and about how we should live, both individually and as members of society. Throughout philosophys history these have been the perennial themes. Each era gives them a new twist, but they arent going to go away.

A new perspective on the long and bloody Burma campaign, focusing on the four Allied commanders who battled not only the Japanese and their allies but also one another
This book, in essence a quadruple biography, tells the story of the four larger-than-life Allied commanders whose lives collided in the Burma campaign, one of the most punishing and protracted military adventures of World War II. Ranging from 1942, when the British suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the Empire, through the crucial battles of Imphal and kohima (the Stalingrad of the East), and on to ultimate victory in 1945, this account is vivid, brutal, and enthralling. Frank McLynn opens a new window on the Burma Campaign, focusing on the interactions and antagonisms of its principal players: William Slim, the brilliant general commanding the British 14th Army; orde Wingate, the ambitious and idiosyncratic commander of the Chindits, a British force of irregulars; This is in my judgment the best Louis Mountbatten, one of Churchills favorites, over- survey of the south Asian campaign promoted to the position of Supreme Commander, S.E. in existence. . . .

William G. Thomas
A new perspective on the central role of the railroads and slavery in the coming, fighting, and aftermath of the Civil War.
Beginning with Frederick Douglasss escape from slavery in 1838 on the railroad, and ending with the driving of the golden spike to link the transcontinental railroad in 1869, this book charts a critical period of American expansion and national formation, one largely dominated by the dynamic growth of railroads and telegraphs. William G. Thomas brings new evidence to bear on railroads, the Confederate South, slavery, and the Civil War era, based on groundbreaking research in digitized sources never available before. The Iron Way revises our ideas about the emergence of modern America and the role of the railroads in shaping the sectional conflict. Both the North and the South invested in railroads to serve their larger purposes, Thomas contends. Though railroads are often cited as a major factor in the Unions victory, he shows that they were also essential to the William Thomas has written a remarkably formation of the South as a unified region.

Hitlers Hangman
A chilling biography of the head of Nazi Germanys terror apparatus, a key player in the Third Reich whose full story has never before been told
Reinhard Heydrich is widely recognized as one of the great iconic villains of the twentieth century, an appalling figure even within the context of the Nazi leadership. Chief of the Nazi Criminal Police, the SS Security Service, and the Gestapo, ruthless overlord of Nazi-occupied Bohemia and Moravia, and leading planner of the Final Solution, Heydrich played a central role in Hitlers Germany. He shouldered a major share of responsibility for some of the worst Nazi atrocities, and up to his assassination in Prague in 1942, he was widely seen as one of the most dangerous men in Nazi Germany. yet Heydrich has received remarkably modest attention in the extensive literature of the Third Reich. Robert Gerwarth weaves together little-known stories of Heydrichs private life with his deeds as head of the Nazi Reich Security Main office. Fully exploring Heydrichs progression from a privileged middle-class youth to a rapacious mass murderer, Gerwarth sheds new light on the complexity of Heydrichs adult character, his motivations, the incremental steps that led to unimaginable atrocities, and the consequences of his murderous efforts toward re-creating the entire ethnic makeup of Europe.

Daniel Branch
An illuminating account of Kenyas first fifty years of independence and the issues that block the nations path to prosperity and justice
on December 12, 1963, people across kenya joyfully celebrated independence from British colonial rule, anticipating a bright future of prosperity and social justice. As the nation approaches the fiftieth anniversary of its independence, however, the peoples dream remains elusive. During its first five decades kenya has experienced assassinations, riots, coup attempts, ethnic violence, and political corruption. The ranks of the disaffected, the unemployed, and the poor have multiplied. In this authoritative and insightful account of kenyas history from 1963 to the present day, Daniel Branch sheds new light on the nations struggles and the complicated causes behind them. Branch describes how kenya constructed itself as a state and how ethnicity has proved a powerful force in national politics from the start, as have disorder and violence. He explores such divisive political issues as the needs of the landless poor, international relations with Britain and with the Cold War superpowers, and the direction of economic development. Tracing an escalation of government corruption over time, the author brings his discussion to the present, paying particular attention to the rigged election of 2007, the subsequent compromise government, and kenyas prospects as a still-evolving independent state.

A many-faceted examination of how Shakespeare brought Rome alive for his readers through a masterful manipulation of ancient rhetoric
Renaissance plays and poetry in England were saturated with the formal rhetorical twists that Latin education made familiar to audiences and readers. yet a formally educated man like Ben Jonson was unable to make these ornaments come to life in his two classical Roman plays. Garry Wills, focusing his attention on Julius Caesar, here demonstrates how Shakespeare so wonderfully made these ancient devices vivid, giving his characters their own personal styles of Roman speech. In four chapters, devoted to four of the plays main characters, Wills shows how Caesar, Brutus, Antony, and Cassius each has his own take on the rhetorical ornaments that Elizabethans learned in school. Shakespeare also makes Rome present and animate by casting his troupe of experienced players to make their strengths shine through the historical facts that Plutarch supplied him with. The result is that the Rome English-speaking people carry about in their minds is the Rome that Shakespeare created for them. And that is even true, Wills affirms, for todays classical scholars with access to the original Roman sources.
GARRy WILLS is professor of history emeritus at Northwestern University. His many acclaimed and best-selling works include Lincoln at Gettysburg, What Jesus Meant, and Bomb Power: The Modern Presidency and the National Security State.

Together, Cranachs paintings and Luthers powerful oratory created a force field that transformed Germany, Europe, and ultimately the Western world
This compelling book retells and revises the story of the German Renaissance and Reformation through the lives of two controversial men of the sixteenth century: the Saxon court painter Lucas Cranach (the Serpent) and the Wittenberg monk-turned-reformer Martin Luther (the Lamb). Contemporaries and friends (each was godfather to the others children), Cranach and Luther were very different Germans, yet their collaborative successes merged art and religion into a revolutionary force that became the Protestant Reformation.

How the New Advertising Industry Is Defining your Identity and your World
In the new media world, advertisers are deciding who you are, how much you matter, and what you see and do
The Internet is often hyped as a means to enhanced consumer power: a hypercustomized media world where individuals exercise unprecedented control over what they see and do. That is the scenario media guru Nicholas Negroponte predicted in the 1990s, with his hypothetical online newspaper The Daily Meand it is one we experience now in daily ways. But, as media expert Joseph Turow shows, the customized media environment we inhabit today reflects diminished consumer power. Not only ads and discounts but even news and entertainment are being customized by newly powerful media agencies on the basis of data we dont know they are collecting and individualized profiles we dont know we have. Little is known about this new industry: how is this data being collected and analyzed? And how are our profiles created and used? How do you know if you have been identified as a target or waste or placed in one of the industrys finer-grained marketing niches? Are you, for example, a Socially Liberal organic Eater, a Diabetic Individual in the Household, or Single City Struggler? And, if so, how does that affect what you see and do online? Drawing on groundbreaking research, including interviews with industry insiders, this important book shows how advertisers have come to wield such power over individuals and media outletsand what can be done to stop it.

Evan Mawdsley
An account of twelve pivotal days in 1941, when a chain of interlinked events changed world history
In far-flung locations around the globe, an unparalleled sequence of international events took place between December 1 and December 12, 1941. In this riveting book, historian Evan Mawdsley explores how the story unfolded. He demonstrates how these dramatic events marked a turning point not only in the course of World War II but also in the direction of the entire century. on Monday, December 1, 1941, the Japanese government made its final decision to attack Britain and America. In the following days, the Red Army launched a counterthrust in Moscow while the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and invaded Malaya. By December 12, Hitler had declared war on the United States, the collapse of British forces in Malaya had begun, and Hitler had secretly laid out his policy of genocide. Churchill was leaving London to meet Roosevelt as Anthony Eden arrived in Russia to discuss the postwar world with Stalin. Combined, these occurrences brought about a new war, as Churchill put it, with Japan and America deeply involved and Russia resurgent. This book, a truly international history, examines the momentous happenings of December 1941 from a variety of perspectives. It shows that their significance is clearly understood only when they are viewed together.

The Hidden Cause of the Great Recession (And How to Avert the Next one) Grigory yavlinsky
Translated by Antonina W. Bouis
Realeconomik
A growing complacency that stability has been restored in the wake of recent economic turmoil is not just wishful thinking, it is dangerous thinking
This book directly confronts uncomfortable questions that many prefer to brush aside: if economists and other scholars, politicians, and business professionals understand the causes of economic crises, as they claim, then why do such damaging crises continue to occur? Can we trust business and intellectual elites who advocate the principles of Realpolitik and claim the public good as their priority, yet consistently favor maximization of profit over ethical issues? Former deputy prime minister of Russia Grigory yavlinsky, an internationally respected free-market economist, makes a powerful case that the often-cited causes of global economic instabilityinstitutional failings, wrong decisions by regulators, insufficient or incorrect information, and the likeare only secondary Grigory yavlinskys book is an important to a far more significant underlying cause: the failure contribution to understanding the to understand that universal social norms are essential interplay between social norms and modern economy.

Why are you proposing that we need the word and concept childism? The history of the word sexism, coined in 1965, shows how important it was to put under the same conceptual umbrella different acts, attitudes, and institutions that targeted women as a group. If you understand that domestic violence against women and wage discrimination against women are similarly rationalized or legitimated by a prejudicesexismyou can develop ways to explore the prejudice and resist it. Without a synthesizing concept, you do not see that child poverty and child abuse are both rooted in and rationalized by prejudice against children. Does prejudice against childrenchildismoperate like sexism? All prejudices are rationalizations of actions. Prejudiced people think that their actions against a target group are right, necessary, normal. But not all prejudices are alike, nor are all prejudiced people alike there is no prejudiced personality. In this book I argue that there are three basic forms of prejudices. Basically, people want to get rid of the members of a group; manipulate them into being servants; or erase their identities. The forms are usually to some degree intermixed, but sexism is fundamentally of the third form. Childism, on the other hand, comes in all three forms. This is one reason why it has been so hard to pinpoint. Childism focuses in many different ways on child abuse and neglectwhy is that? First, abused and neglected children come, as children or as adults, into therapy situations where they can feel safe enough to tell their stories and talk about how they understand their abusers.

Butand this is the second reasonthe field of Child Abuse and Neglect was, from its inception in the 1960s, set up in such a way, I believe, that it could not hear the experiences of abused and neglected children. It was focused on the types of acts they suffered physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse, and children were classified by these types of acts. Treatment and prevention strategies are organized around these types of acts to this day. This has been very harmful for children. It matters how you think about children! Just as it matters how you raise them, and sponsor their growth and developmentor fail to. You are Anna Freuds biographeris this is an Anna Freudian book? I use many of Anna Freuds key insights, particularly those she came to when she directed a childrens residential nursery in London during the Blitz. The children she cared for were traumatized, and they had a good deal to say about what they experienced. The Best Interests of the Child, the book Anna Freud wrote late in her long life, with two colleagues from the yale Child Study Center, was designed to teach lawyers and judges how to listen to children in the course of trialscustody trials, abuse trials. Clearly, she was writing about childism, how to recognize it and how to prevent it. I take her wisdom as a model. But I am writing for all who are concerned with childrens well-beingin diverse professions, in policy-making positions, but also as parents.

Elisabeth young-Bruehl
A seminal volume on prejudice against children for parents, teachers, psychologists, social workers, policy-makersanyone concerned with the crucial subject of child welfare.
In this groundbreaking volume on the human rights of children, acclaimed analyst, political theorist, and biographer Elisabeth young-Bruehl argues that prejudice exists against children as a group and that it is comparable to racism, sexism, and homophobia. This prejudicechildismlegitimates and rationalizes a broad continuum of acts that are not in the best interests of children, including the often violent extreme of child abuse and neglect. According to young-Bruehl, reform is possible only if we acknowledge this prejudice in its basic forms and address the motives and cultural forces that drive it, rather than dwell on the various categories of abuse and punishment. There will always be individuals and societies that turn on their children, writes young-Bruehl, breaking the I am often struck by how children are natural order Aristotle described two and a half mil- not treated as people, not accorded lennia ago in his Nichomachean Ethics. In Childism, equal status as humans, neglected, young-Bruehl focuses especially on the ways in which underestimated, and overlooked. And how that childism goes un-thought.

Second Simplicity
yves Bonnefoy
Translated by Hoyt Rogers
An eagerly awaited anthology of recent poetry and prose by the celebrated French poet Yves Bonnefoy
yves Bonnefoy, now 87 years old, has enjoyed during the past two decades perhaps the most prolific and innovative period of his splendid lifework. This volume presents in English and French an inviting array of his recent writings, carefully selected for their literary quality as well as their broad appeal. It features several works never published before and many that have never been translated into English. The first anthology of Bonnefoys work to appear since 1995, this collection reflects the poets powerful engagement with the New England landscape, where quiet woods and fields have given shape to the pared-down aesthetic of his recent years. The book is the first to showcase not only the poetry for which Bonnefoy is justly renowned but also his inventive compositions in prose. Appropriately, the book alternates more traditional verse with freer forms, just as the author has done in several major works of the past twenty years; that symbiotic approach is one of the hallmarks of this latter phase of his art. Masterfully translated by Hoyt Rogers, the collection is organized chronologically, revealing clearly how the poet continues to extend and refine his scope and style. Rogers provides a penetrating introduction in which he analyzes aspects of Bonnefoys recent writings and the second simplicity that characterizes his late work.

Notturno
Gabriele DAnnunzio
Translated by Stephen Sartarelli Introduction by virginia Jewiss
The first complete English translation of DAnnunzios haunting book-length prose poem
Composed during a period of extended bed rest, Gabriele DAnnunzios Notturno is a moving prose poem in which imagination, experience, and remembrance intertwine. The somber atmosphere of the poem reflects the circumstances of its creation. With his vision threatened and his eyes completely bandaged, DAnnunzio suffered months of near-total blindness and pain-wracked infirmity in 1921, and yet he managed to write on small strips of paper, each wide enough for a single line. When the poet eventually regained his sight, he put together these strips to create the lyrical and innovative Notturno. In Notturno DAnnunzio forges an original prose that merges aspects of formal poetry and autobiographical narrative. He fuses the darkness and penumbra of the present with the immediate past, haunted by war memories, death, and mourning, and also with the more distant past, revolving mainly around his mother and childhood. In this remarkable translation of the work, Stephen Sartarelli preserves the antiquated style of DAnnunzios poetic prose and the tension of his rich and difficult harmonies, bringing to contemporary readers the full texture and complexity of a creation forged out of darkness.
GABRIELE DANNUNzIo (18631938), a major figure in modern Italian literature, published his first volume of poetry in 1879 and went on to write numerous novels, short stories, plays, autobiographical works, and further volumes of poetry. STEPHEN SARTARELLI, an awardwinning translator and poet, has published more than twenty books of translation from Italian and French and three volumes of poetry. He lives in France.

Jackson Pollock
Evelyn Toynton
A compelling look at Jackson Pollocks vibrant, quintessentially American art and the turbulent life that gave rise to it
Jackson Pollock (19121956) not only put American art on the map with his famous drip paintings, he also served as an inspiration for the character of Stanley kowalski in Tennessee Williamss A Streetcar Named Desirethe role that made Marlon Brando famous. Like Brando, Pollock became an icon of rebellion in 1950s America, and the brooding, defiant persona captured in photographs of the artist contributed to his celebrity almost as much as his notorious paintings did. In the years since his death in a drunken car crash, Pollocks hold on the public imagination has only increased. He has become an enduring symbol of the tormented artistour American van Gogh. In this highly engaging book, Evelyn Toynton examines Pollocks itinerant and poverty-stricken childhood in the West, his encounters with contemporary art in Depression-era New york, and his years in the rundown Long Island fishing village that, ironically, was transformed into a fashionable resort by his presence. Placing the artist in the context of his time, Toynton also illuminates the fierce controversies that swirled around his work and that continue to do so. Pollocks paintings captured the sense of freedom and infinite possibility unique to the American experience, and his life was both an American rags-to-riches story and a darker tale of the price paid for celebrity, American style.

Renegade
The untold story of Henry Millers explosive 1934 novel, banned in America for more than a quarter century
Though branded as pornography for its graphic language and explicit sexuality, Henry Millers Tropic of Cancer is far more than a work that tested American censorship laws. In this riveting book, published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Tropic of Cancers initial U.S. release, Frederick Turner investigates Millers unconventional novel, its tumultuous publishing history, and its unique place in American letters. Written in the slums of a foreign city by a man who was an utter literary failure in his homeland, Tropic of Cancer was published in 1934 by a pornographer in Paris, but soon banned in the United States. Not until 1961, when Grove Press triumphed over the censors, did Millers book appear in American bookstores. Turner argues that Tropic of Cancer is lawless, violent, colorful, misogynistic, anarchical, bigoted, and shaped by the same forces that shaped the nation. Further, the novel draws on more than two centuries of New World history, folklore, and popular culture in ways never attempted before. How Henry Miller, outcast and renegade, came to understand what literary dynamite he had within him, how he learned to sound his war whoop over the roofs of the world, is the subject of Turners revelatory study.
FREDERICk TURNER is the author or editor of a dozen books, including Into the Heart of Life: Henry Miller at One Hundred. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Acclaimed poet and translator Sarah Ruden brilliantly brings Apuleiuss comic tale to life
With accuracy, wit, and intelligence, this remarkable new translation of The Golden Ass breathes new life into Apuleiuss classic work. Sarah Ruden, a lyric poet as well as a highly respected translator, skillfully duplicates the verbal high jinks of Apuleiuss ever-popular novel. It tells the story of Lucius, a curious and silly young man, who is turned into a donkey when he meddles with witchcraft. Doomed to wander from region to region and mistreated by a series of deplorable owners, Lucius at last is restored to human form with the help of the goddess Isis. The Golden Ass, the first Latin novel to survive in its entirety, belongs to the Second Sophistic, a movement of learned but wildly inventive literature. In a translation that is both the most faithful and the most entertaining to date, Ruden reveals to modern readers the vivid, farcical ingenuity of Apuleiuss style.
SARAH RUDEN is a visiting scholar at Wesleyan University. Her books include a translation of vergils Aeneid and Paul Among the People: The Apostle Reinterpreted and Reimagined in His Own Time.
Praise for Sarah Rudens translation of the Aeneid: Robert Fagles, shortly before his death, set the bar very high for translating [vergils] Aeneid. yet already the scholar-poet Sarah Ruden has soared over the bar. . . .

Volume One: 18981922 presents some 1,400 letters encompassing the years of Eliots childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, through 1922, by which time the poet had settled in England, married his first wife, and published The Waste Land. Since the first publication of this volume in 1988, many new materials from British and American sources have come to light. More than two hundred of these newly discovered letters are now included, filling crucial gaps in the record and shedding new light on Eliots activities in London during and after the First World War. Volume Two: 19231925 covers the early years of Eliots editorship of The Criterion, publication of The Hollow Men, and his developing thought about poetry and poetics. The volume offers 1,400 letters, charting Eliots journey toward conversion to the Anglican faith, as well as his transformation from banker to publisher and his appointment as director of the new publishing house Faber & Gwyer. The prolific and various correspondence of this volume testifies to Eliots growing influence as cultural commentator and editor.

Stanzas in Meditation
Edited by Susannah Hollister and Emily Setina With an Introduction by Joan Retallack
In the 1950s, yale University Press published a number of Gertrude Steins posthumous works, among them her incomparable Stanzas in Meditation. Since that time, scholars have discovered that Steins poem exists in several versions: a manuscript that Stein wrote and two typescripts that her partner Alice B. Toklas prepared. Toklass work on the second typescript changed the poem when, enraged upon detecting in it references to a former lover, she not only adjusted the typescript but insisted that Stein make revisions in the original manuscript. This edition of Stanzas in Meditation is the first to confront the complicated story of its composition and revision. Through meticulous archival work, the editors present a reliable reading text of Steins original manuscript, as well as an appendix with the textual variants among the poems several versions. This record of Steins multi-layered revisions enables readers to engage more fully with the authors radically experimental poem and also to detect the literary impact of Steins relationship with Toklas. The editors preface and poet Joan Retallacks introduction offer insight into the complexities of reading Steins poetry and the innovative modes of reading that her works require and generate. Students and admirers of Stein will welcome this illuminating new contribution to Steins oeuvre. The poem is a hymn to possibility; a celebration of the fact that the world exists, that things can happen. . . . [It] is no doubt the most successful of [Steins] attempts to do what cant be done, to create a counterfeit of reality more real than reality.John Ashbery

W. Mark ormrod
Edward III (13121377) was the most successful European ruler of his age. Reigning for over fifty years, he achieved spectacular military triumphs and overcame grave threats to his authority, from parliamentary revolt to the Black Death. Revered by his subjects as a chivalric dynamo, he initiated the Hundred years War and gloriously led his men into battle against the Scots and the French. In this illuminating biography, W. Mark ormrod takes a deeper look at Edward to reveal the man beneath the military muscle. What emerges is Edwards clear sense of his duty to rebuild the prestige of the Crown, and through military gains and shifting diplomacy, to secure a legacy for posterity. New details of the splendor of Edwards court, lavish national celebrations, and innovative use of imagery establish the kings instinctive understanding of the bond between ruler and people. With fresh emphasis on how Edwards rule was affected by his family relationshipsincluding his roles as traumatized son, loving husband, and dutiful fatherormrod gives a valuable new dimension to our understanding of this remarkable warrior king.

Transpacific Encounters with Race, Caste, and Borders, 18851928 Andrea Geiger
The Japanese immigrants who arrived in the North American West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries included individuals with historical ties to Japans outcaste communities. In the only English-language book on the subject, Andrea Geiger examines the history of these immigrants in the United States and Canada and their encounters with two separate cultures of exclusion, including the notion of outcaste status. Geiger reveals that the experiences of Japanese immigrants in North America were shaped in part by Japans formal status system, mibunsei, decades after it was formally abolished. The immigrants understanding of social status as caste-based, however, collided with American and Canadian perceptions of status as primarily race-based. Geiger shows how the lingering influence of Japans strict status system affected immigrants perceptions and understandings of race in the North American West in the early twentieth century.

vikings, Merchants, and Missionaries in the Remaking of Northern Europe Anders Winroth
In this book a MacArthur Award-winning scholar argues for a radically new interpretation of the conversion of Scandinavia from paganism to Christianity in the early Middle Ages. overturning the received narrative of Europes military and religious conquest and colonization of the region, Anders Winroth contends that rather than acting as passive recipients, Scandinavians converted to Christianity because it was in individual chieftains political, economic, and cultural interests to do so. Through a painstaking analysis and historical reconstruction of both archeological and literary sources, and drawing on scholarly work that has been unavailable in English, Winroth opens up new avenues for studying European ascendency and the expansion of Christianity in the medieval period.

otaku Culture in a Connected Age Edited by Mizuko Ito, Daisuke okabe, and Izumi Tsuji
In recent years, otaku culture has emerged as one of Japans major cultural exports and as a genuinely transnational phenomenon. This timely volume investigates how this once marginalized popular culture has come to play a major role in Japans identity at home and abroad. In the American context, the word otaku is best translated as geekan ardent fan with highly specialized knowledge and interests. But it is associated especially with fans of specific Japan-based cultural genres, including anime, manga, and video games. Most important of all, as this collection shows, is the way otaku culture represents a newly participatory fan culture in which fans not only organize around niche interests but produce and distribute their own media content. In this collection of essays, Japanese and American scholars offer richly detailed descriptions of how this once stigmatized Japanese youth culture created its own alternative markets and cultural products such as fan fiction, comics, costumes, and remixes, becoming a major international force that can challenge the dominance of commercial media. By exploring the rich variety of otaku culture from multiple perspectives, this groundbreaking collection provides fascinating insights into the present and future of cultural production and distribution in the digital age.

obama, 2008, and Racial Politics in America Donald R. kinder and Allison Dale-Riddle
How did race affect the election that gave America its first African American president? This book offers some fascinating, and perhaps controversial, findings. Donald R. kinder and Allison Dale-Riddle assert that racism was in fact an important factor in 2008, and that if not for racism, Barack obama would have won in a landslide. on the way to this conclusion, they make several other important arguments. In an analysis of the nomination battle between obama and Hillary Clinton, they show why racial identity matters more in electoral politics than gender identity. Comparing the 2008 election with that of 1960, they find that religion played much the same role in the earlier campaign that race played in 08. And they argue that racial resentmenta modern form of racism that has superseded the old-fashioned biological varietyis a potent political force.

Using Economic Relationships to Build a More Peaceful, Prosperous, and Secure World Lloyd J. Dumas
The idea that military strength is virtually synonymous with security is deeply entrenched and widely held. But while the threat or use of military force may sometimes be necessary, it cannot keep us as safe as we would be by building relationships that replace hostility with a sense of mutual purpose and mutual gain. Economic relationships, says Lloyd J. Dumas, can offer a far more effective, and far less costly, means of maintaining security. After defining the right kind of economic relationshipone that is balanced and nonexploitative, emphasizes development, and minimizes environmental damageDumas then addresses some practical concerns in establishing and maintaining these relationships. He also considers the practical problems of the transition from military-based security arrangements to economic peacekeeping, and the effects of demilitarized security on economic development and prosperity.

Joseph C. Miller
Why did slaveryan accepted evil for thousands of yearssuddenly become regarded during the eighteenth century as an abomination so compelling that Western governments took up the cause of abolition in ways that transformed the modern world? Joseph C. Miller turns this classic question on its head by rethinking the very nature of slavery, arguing that it must be viewed generally as a process rather than as an institution. Tracing the global history of slaving over thousands of years, Miller reveals the shortcomings of Western narratives that define slavery by the same structures and power relations regardless of places and times, concluding instead that slaving is a process which can be understood fully only as imbedded in changing circumstances.

The Speculation of John Law and Lord Londonderry in the Mississippi and South Sea Bubbles Two of the greatest financial fiascos of all time took place at the same time and were instigated by two acquaintances: the Mississippi Bubble, on which John Law at first made a vast fortune and gained sway over French finances; and the South Sea Bubble, launched by Law and Thomas Pitt, Jr., Lord Londonderry, his main partner in England. This book tells the story of these two financial schemes from the letters and accounts of two leading personalities. Larry Neal, a distinguished economic historian, highlights the rationality of each person and also finds that the primitive exchanges of the day, though informal and completely unregulated, actually performed reasonably well.

The USSR is often regarded as the worlds first propaganda state. Particularly under Stalin, politically charged rhetoric and imagery dominated the press, the schools, and the cultural forums from literature and cinema to the fine arts. yet party propagandists were repeatedly frustrated in their efforts to promote a coherent sense of Soviet identity during the interwar years. This book investigates this failure to mobilize society along communist lines by probing the secrets of the partys ideological establishment and indoctrinational system. An expos of systemic failure within Stalins ideological establishment, Propaganda State in Crisis ultimately rewrites the history of Soviet indoctrination and mass mobilization between 1927 and 1941.

The legal and technical rules governing flows of information are out of balance, argues Julie E. Cohen in this original analysis of information law and policy. Flows of cultural and technical information are overly restricted, while flows of personal information often are not restricted at all. The author investigates the institutional forces shaping the emerging information society and the contradictions between those forces and the ways that people use information and information technologies in their everyday lives. She then proposes legal principles to ensure that people have ample room for cultural and material participation as well as greater control over the boundary conditions that govern flows of information to, from, and about them.

Abandoned to ourselves
Peter Alexander Meyers
Being an Essay on the Emergence and Implications of Sociology in the Writings of Mr. Jean-Jacques Rousseau...
This extraordinary work shows how the centerpiece of the Enlightenment society as the symbol of collective human life and as the fundamental domain of human practicewas primarily composed and animated by its most ambivalent figure: Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Abandoned to Ourselves traces the emergence and moral significance of dependence itself within Rousseaus encounters with a variety of discourses of order, including theology, natural philosophy, and music. As Abandoned to Ourselves weaves together historical acuity with theoretical insight, readers will find here elements for a reconstructed sociology inclusive of things and persons and, as a consequence, a new foundation for contemporary political theory.

They present an insightful analysis of the ways in which industrial states are currently unsustainable and how economic and social welfare are related to the environment, to public health and safety, and to earning capacity and meaningful and rewarding employment. The authors argue for the design of multipurpose solutions to the sustainability challenge that integrate economics, employment, technology, environment, industrial development, national and international law, trade, finance, and public and worker health and safety.

Libertys Refuge
John D. Inazu
This original and provocative book looks at an important constitutional freedom that today is largely forgotten: the right of assembly. While this right lay at the heart of some of the most important social movements in American historyabolitionism, womens suffrage, the labor and civil rights movementscourts now prefer to speak about the freedoms of association and speech. But the right of expressive association undermines protections for groups whose purposes are demonstrable not by speech or expression but through ways of being. John D. Inazu demonstrates that the forgetting of assembly and the embrace of association lose sight of important dimensions of our constitutional tradition.

He analyzes three complementary strategies for addressing orchestras economic challengesraising performance revenues, slowing the growth of performance expenses, and increasing nonperformance incomeand demonstrates that none of the three strategies alone is likely to provide economic security for orchestras.

The parameters of Francophone sub-Saharan African literature expanded dramatically during recent years. Twentieth-century African writing was for the most part organized according to the shifting cultural, political, and social circumstances that informed colonial and postcolonial relations. But new transnational constituencies have emerged from immigrant and diasporic networks, and various transnational/transcolonial alignments now offer alternative ways of thinking about Francophone sub-Saharan African literature.

Exploring Happiness
Confronted by a welter of conflicting definitions, eighteenth-century poet Alexander Pope despaired of establishing a meaning for happiness. Less easily discouraged, Bok acknowledges the contradictions in the diversity of perspectives, yet she converts these contradictions into openings for deeper inquiry.Booklist, starred review Sissela Bok makes sense of happiness for adults: what sort of happiness we can seek, and what lies beyond our grasp. The book illuminates the pursuit of happiness in modern economics, psychiatry, and philosophy, but she addresses, in the end, any intelligent reader.

This is a wise book.Richard Sennett

The Man Who Gave the Soviets the Atom Bomb Allen M. Hornblum
Journalist and historian Allen Hornblum paints a surprising portrait of one of the most important and enigmatic spies in U.S. history: the man who delivered the plans for the atom bomb to the Soviets.

kristina Ford
After the vast destruction wrought by Hurricane katrina, New orleans faced a rare chance to rebuild, with an unprecedented opportunity to plan what gets built. As the citys director of planning from 1992 until 2000, kristina Ford is uniquely placed to use these opportunities as a springboard for an eye-opening discussion of the intransigent problems and promising possibilities facing city planners across the nation and beyond. In what should be regarded as one of the best urban planning texts to come off the presses in the past decade, Ford traces the origins, evolution, and practices of city planning, outlines its troubles, and offers a cogent remedy for its plight.Books and Culture

Pivotal Decade
How the United States Traded Factories for Finance in the Seventies
Judith Stein
In this fascinating new history, Judith Stein argues that in order to understand our current economic crisis we need to look back to the 1970s and the end of the age of the factorythe era of postwar liberalism, created by the New Deal, whose practices, high wages, and regulated capital produced both robust economic growth and greater income equality. In sum, this book offers a persuasive, often provocative reading of the political and economic dynamics of the 1970s. In doing so, it historicizes policies that in many ways set the stage for the great recession of the twenty-first century. All in all, that is an extraordinary achievement.Joseph McCartin, The Journal of American History

The first comprehensive study of Knolls innovative textile designs and the companys role within the history of interior design
In 1940, Hans knoll founded a company in New york that soon earned a reputation for its progressive line of furniture. Florence Schust joined the firm and helped establish its interior design division, the knoll Planning Unit. In 1947, the year after their marriage, Hans and Florence knoll added a third division, knoll Textiles, which brought textile production in line with a modern sensibility that used color and texture as primary design elements. In the early years, the company hired leading proponents of modern design as well as young, untried designers to create textile patterns. The division thrived in the late 1940s through 1960s and, in the following decade, adopted a more international outlook as design direction shifted to Europe. In the late 1970s and 1980s, knoll tapped fashion designers and architects to bolster its brand. The pioneering use of new materials and a commitment to innovative design have remained knolls hallmarks to the present day. With essays by experts, biographies of about eighty designers, and images of textiles, drawings, furniture, and ephemera, Knoll Textiles, 19452010 is the first comprehensive study devoted to a leading contributor to modern textile design. Highlighting the individuals and ideas that helped shape knoll Textiles over the years, this book brings the knoll brand and the role of textiles in the history of design to the forefront of public attention.

Dubuffet as Architect
Daniel Abadie
The first book to examine the monumental architectural works of the pioneering artist Jean Dubuffet
As the champion of Art Brut, the artist Jean Dubuffet (19011985) is remembered foremost as a painter. yet his creative instinct extended far beyond the parameters of paint. Later in his life, in 1965, his interest in architecture was sparked by a commission for two largescale paintings for the University of Nanterre in Paris. Although he ultimately abandoned that project, he became intrigued by the idea of producing large works in a more enduring format, capable of withstanding the elements. He experimented with different media in search of a solution, producing works in ceramic, concrete, and eventually plastic resin. The large size and relief surface of his 1967 Mur Bleu (Blue Wall) catapulted his painting into the third dimension in a big way. Many commissions followed, and today Dubuffets massive architectural forms grace several cities across the globe. The artist did not intend for these structures to be mere supports for his paintings; he meant for them to give his work architectural space. His efforts in this area earned him the medal of the American Institute of Architects in 1982. These stunningly inventive and playful works stand as a testament to Dubuffets desire to expand his practice through new materials and techniquesand even into new dimensions. Dubuffet as Architect is the first published account of this little-known aspect of this artists work.

100 Shoes
The Costume Institute / The Metropolitan Museum of Art Edited by Harold koda
With an introduction by Sarah Jessica Parker
An exclusive look at one hundred fabulous shoes from the renowned Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
In a brilliant follow-up to 100 Dresses, published in 2010, the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum once again opens the vaults of its heralded permanent collection to introduce readers to the rich diversity of shoes within its holdings. A hundred pairs of shoes, from the 16th to the 21st century, paint a vivid picture of how styles have changedsometimes radically over the years. They also reveal how some trends have reappeared throughout the ages. For instance, platform shoes were worn by fashionable venetian women from the 15th to the 17th century and by Manchu Chinese women in the 1800s. In the late 1930s, Salvatore Ferragamo introduced a modern version of the platform shoe, and updated versions appeared in the 1970s and 1990s. Beautifully designed and produced, 100 Shoes presents examples of fashionable footwear in a range of styles, from flats to stilettos and everything in between. Among them are shoes designed by Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Roger vivier, and vivienne Westwood. Images of the shoes are accompanied by informative text and enhanced by works of art, contemporary photos, and portraits of designers. Sure to spark the imaginations of anyone interested in fashion and design, 100 Shoes details how women have used these essential fashion accessories to elevate their style, stature, and status throughout the centuries. An introduction by fashion-forward actress Sarah Jessica Parker adds to the accessibility and appeal of this delightful volume.

Ron Mueck
David Hurlston
With essays by Lisa Baldissera, Nicholas Chambers, James Fox, kelly Gellatly, Ted Gott, Susanna Greeves, Philip Long, Angela Ndalianis, Justin Paton, Craig Raine, and Angus Trumble
The first-ever comprehensive look at internationally known artist Ron Muecks hyperrealist figurative sculpture
Ron Mueck (b. 1958) is known for his extraordinarily lifelike sculptures of people in fragile, naked states: a postpartum woman, a crouching, cornered man, and, perhaps most famously, the body of his dead father. Mueck plays dramatically with scale; a newborn baby, with traces of afterbirth and blood, looms impressively over viewers, measuring sixteen feet from crown to foot, while a spooning half-clothed couple would fit easily on a coffee table. In each case, the amount of detailindividual pores and dimples, hairs and blemishesis uncanny. The figures are disconcerting and yet impossible to resist. Muecks obsessive attention to detail and craft has its beginnings in his early days as a model maker and puppeteer for films like Jim Hensons Labyrinth. It was in 1997, when noted dealer Charles Saatchi discovered Muecks work and included his sculpture Dead Dad in the groundbreaking Sensation show, that Mueck began to attract international attention. Today, the artists sculptures are some of the most widely acclaimed, prominent, and identifiable works of contemporary art. Produced in close collaboration with the artist, this beautifully illustrated book is the first to provide a comprehensive look at Muecks work to date. The book offers detailed insight into the artists ideas and methods and features a catalogue raisonn. Essays by leading scholars highlight the depth of his practice and further affirm Muecks importance.

Infinite Jest
Caricature and Satire from Leonardo to Levine Constance C. McPhee and Nadine M. orenstein
An entertaining and informative bookthe first to feature significant caricatures and satirical works dating from 1500 to the present, selected from the vast collection in the Metropolitan Museum
From Leonardos drawings of grotesque heads to contemporary prints lampooning American politicians, the Metropolitan Museum has a vast and largely unknown collection of caricatures and satirical works. This handsome volume offers 160 examples dating from about 1500 to the presentmany of them previously unpublishedthat reflect the age-old tradition of employing exaggeration and humor to convey personal, social, or political meaning. Stressing the continuity of certain artistic approaches, Innite Jest examines the development of the genre across a broad expanse of centuries and cultures.

A beautifully illustrated reassessment of the work of Duncan Phyfe, Americas best-known cabinetmaker
Duncan Phyfe (17681854), known during his lifetime as the United States Rage, to this day remains Americas best-known cabinetmaker. Establishing his reputation as a purveyor of luxury by designing highquality furniture for New yorks moneyed elite, Phyfe would come to count among his clients some of the nations wealthiest and most storied families. This richly illustrated volume covers the full chronological sweep of the craftsmans distinguished career, from his earliest furniturewhich bore the influence of his 18th-century predecessors George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheratonto the elaborately embellished Grecian pieces that were entirely his own. More than sixty works by Phyfe and his workshop are highlighted, including rarely seen pieces from private collections and several newly discovered documented works. Additionally, essays by leading scholars bring to light new information on Phyfes life, his workshop production, and his roster of illustrious patrons.

Facing Beauty
Aileen Ribeiro
This wide-ranging survey, spanning four centuries, illuminates shifting perceptions of female beauty through works of art and the evolution of cosmetics
Throughout the history of the Western world, countless attempts have been made to define beauty in art and life, especially with regard to womens bodies and faces. Facing Beauty examines concepts of female beauty in terms of the ideal and the real, investigating paradigms of beauty as represented in art and literature and how beauty has been enhanced by cosmetics and hairstyles. This thought-provoking book discusses the shifting perceptions of female beauty, concentrating on the period from about 1540 to 1940. It begins with the Renaissance, when a renewed emphasis on the individual was reflected in the celebration of beauty in the portraits of the day. The fluid, sensual lines of the Baroque period initiated a shift toward a more natural look, giving way in the 18th century to a more stylized and artificial face, a mask of ideal beauty. By the late 19th century, commercial beauty preparations had become more readily available, leading to new technological developments within the beauty industry in the early 20th century. Beauty salons and the wider availability of cosmetics revolutionized the way women saw themselves. Ravishing images of some of the most beautiful women in history, both real and ideal, accompanied by illustrations from costume books, fashion plates, advertisements, caricatures, and cosmetics, bring the evolving story of beauty to life on these pages.

El Anatsui
The Ghanaian-born sculptor El Anatsui (b. 1944) is one of the most significant artistic innovators of our time, merging personal, local, and global concerns in his visual creations. By weaving together discarded aluminum tops from Nigerian liquor bottles, Anatsui creates large-scale sculptures called gawu (metal or fashioned cloth in Anatsuis native language) that demonstrate a fascinating interplay of color, shape, and fluidity. In an illustrated essay, Alisa LaGamma provides a brief history of El Anatsuis career and an analysis of his practice. The catalogue also includes a never-before-published conversation between noted artist and curator Chika okeke-Agulu and Anatsui, as they discuss the themes of history, economy, sustainability, and identity explored within Anatsuis work. Dramatic photographs of the installations at the Clark provide a unique look at these immersive sculptures, including Intermittent Signals (2009) and Delta (2010), in the contemplative spaces of Stone Hill Center.

Bertrand Goldberg
Edited by zo Ryan
Architecture of Invention
With essays by Alison Fisher, zo Ryan, Elizabeth Smith, and Sarah Whiting
A groundbreaking exploration of the life, work, and legacy of visionary architect Bertrand Goldberg
Bertrand Goldberg (19131997) was a visionary Chicago architect whose designs for housing, urban planning, and industrial design made a distinctive mark in the modern era. This handsome publication, the first to focus in-depth on the entirety of Goldbergs life and work, traces his development from his early Bauhaus training to his notable architectural achievements. Featuring previously unpublished material, it also includes Goldbergs plans for unrealized projects as well as his collaborations with other prominent modern architects, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Buckminster Fuller. Goldbergs interest in the social dimension of architecture was reflected in many of his cutting-edge designs. In 1959, he conceived the plan for his most iconic structure, the sixty-story Marina City residential towers, in the heart of downtown Chicago. He created a number of hospitals that offered a new paradigm for how patients and staff interacted within the space. Goldbergs progressive designs also extended to schools, prefabricated structures, and furniture.

Leonardo da vinci
Luke Syson
A new examination of Leonardos career that illuminates his time as court painter to the Duke of Milan, an experience that fundamentally changed his outlook and his legacy
The reputation of Leonardo da vinci (14521519) as an inventor and scientist, and his complex personality, have sometimes almost overshadowed the importance of his aims and techniques as a painter. This exquisite book focuses on a crucial period in the 1480s and 90s when, as a salaried court artist to Duke Ludovico Sforza in the city-state of Milanfreed from the pressures of making a living in the commercially minded Florentine republicLeonardo produced some of the most celebrated and influential works of his career. The Last Supper, his two versions of The Virgin of the Rocks, and The Lady with an Ermine (a beautiful portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, Ludovicos mistress) were paintings that set a new standard for his Milanese contemporaries. Leonardos style was magnified, through collaboration and imitation, to become the visual language of the regime, and by the time he returned to Florence in 1500, his status had been utterly transformed. This new examination of Leonardos painting career and his lasting impact on Italian Renaissance style features works from U.S., British, and European collections. Collectively, they represent the diverse range of his artistic output, from drawings in chalk, ink, and metalpoint to full-scale oil paintings. Together with the authors meticulous research and detailed analysis, they demonstrate Leonardos consummate skill and extraordinary ambition as a painter.

Snapshot
A fascinating look at how snapshots by seven Post-Impressionist artists influenced their work and the history of photography
The advent of the kodak camera in 1888 made photography accessible to amateurs as well as to professionals. Artists were not immune to its allure, and many began experimenting with the camera as a means of capturing images as studies for final works and of observing the world and the people in it. Snapshot investigates seven Post-Impressionist painters and printmakers: Pierre Bonnard, George Hendrik Breitner, Maurice Denis, Henri Evenepoel, Henri Rivire, Flix vallotton, and Edouard vuillard. Although celebrated for their works on canvas and paper, these artists also made many personal and informal snapshots. Depicting interiors, city streets, nudes, and portraits, these photographs were kept private and never exhibited. As a result, most have never been published. Juxtaposing personal photographs with the related paintings and prints by these Post-Impressionist artists, Snapshot offers a new perspective on early photography and on the synthesis of painting and photography at the end of the 19th century.

Featuring an amazing treasure trove of unpublished images, this intriguing and entertaining book looks at how women explored their identity through popular photography in the 20th century
Snapshots preserve more than individual likeness and memory. Photographs of celebrations, vacations, and gatherings of family and friends are collected with the aim of constructing and preserving a personal identity for future generations. What happens, however, when a snapshot is subsequently discarded or displaced and becomes merely an anonymous image? This and many other questions are discussed in this fascinating selection of anonymous images depicting three women. Presumably all taken by nonprofessionals, these snapshots were acquired over time by a private collector interested in their eclectic yet familiar details, who named the grouping after the iconic Greco-Roman motif. In traditional western iconography, the Three Graces personify beauty, charm, and grace in both nature and humanity. In the 150 snapshots assembled here, the remarkable consistency of confidence and poise projected by the trios of womenin varied settings, in various states of dress/undress, and over a period of more than fifty yearsreveals the formal and behavioral conventions that evolved as photographys popularity skyrocketed among amateurs. To this end, the iconography of The Three Graces provides a framework for understanding the generational differences and cultural influences that shaped womens self-presentation in front of the camera in the first half of the 20th century.

vermeers Women
Secrets and Silence Marjorie E. Wieseman, Wayne E. Franits, and H. Perry Chapman
A visually stunning and seductive book that celebrates the mysterious and enigmatic world created by Vermeer in some of the best-loved and most characteristic works from late in his career.
Focusing on the extraordinary Lacemaker from the Muse du Louvre, this beautiful book investigates the subtle and enigmatic paintings by Johannes vermeer that celebrate the intimacy of the Dutch household. Moments frozen in paint that reveal young women sewing, reading or playing musical instruments, captured in vermeers uniquely luminous style, recreate a silent and often mysterious domestic realm, closed to the outside world, and inhabited almost exclusively by women and children. Three internationally recognized experts in the field explain why women engaged in mundane domestic tasks, or in pleasurable pastimes such as music making, writing letters, or adjusting their toilette, comprise some of the most popular Dutch paintings of the seventeenth century. Men are rarely featured in these images; when they are, it is usually in a subsidiary role or as conspicuous intruders into a quiet domestic world. Among the most intriguing of these compositions are those that consciously avoid any engagement with the viewer. Rather than acknowledging our presence, figures avert their gazes or turn their backs upon us; they stare moodily into space or focus intently on the activities at hand. In viewing these paintings, we have the impression that we have stumbled upon a private world kept hidden from casual regard. The ravishingly beautiful paintings of vermeer are perhaps the most poetic evocations of this secretive world, but other 17th-century Dutch painters sought to imbue simple domestic scenes with an air of silent mystery, and the book features also works by some of the most important masters of 17th-century Dutch genre painting, among them Gerard ter Borch, Gerrit Dou, Pieter de Hooch, Nicolaes Maes, and Jan Steen.

Its not money or painting between us. But something above both.Stieglitz to artist Stanton Macdonald-Wright (1918)
A master photographer, Alfred Stieglitz was also a visionary promoter and avid collector of modern American and European art from the first half of the 20th century. This publication is the first fully illustrated catalogue of works in the unparalleled Alfred Stieglitz Collection, which was given to the Metropolitan Museum after Stieglitzs death. operating a succession of influential New york galleries between 1905 and 1946, Stieglitz exhibited many of the most important artists of the era, including Constantin Brancusi, Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, vasily kandinsky, John Marin, Henri Matisse, Georgia okeeffe, Pablo Picasso, and Gino Severini. He assembled a vast collection of exceptional breadth and depth that has since become the cornerstone of the Metropolitan Museums holdings of modern art, containing such masterworks as Brancusis Sleeping Muse, Demuths I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold, Hartleys Portrait of a German Ofcer, kandinskys Improvisation 27 (Garden of Love II), okeeffes Black Iris and Picassos Woman Ironing and Standing Female Nude. More than four hundred paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints are presented in this catalogue, many of them published here for the first time. Informative essays, augmented by archival photographs and letters, new scholarship, and technical analysis, bring this fascinating period to life by focusing on the relationships these artists developed with Stieglitz and with one another.

Sol LeWitt
Structures, 19652005
A fascinating look at LeWitts deceptively simple geometric sculptures, which epitomize the artists aim to recreate art by starting from square one
Sol LeWitt (19282007), renowned for his role in establishing Conceptualism and Minimalism as dominant art movements in the postwar era, is perhaps best known for his masterful and brilliantly colored wall drawings. Throughout his career, however, LeWitt also created many remarkable three-dimensional works suitable for display in outdoor settings. In this handsome publication, which accompanies the first major career survey of LeWitts structures, the artists modular works are traced from their simplest manifestation in a single large-scale cube through multiple variations, with examples from the 1960s through the 1990s. Works from the 1980s onward explore the threedimensional possibilities of diverse geometric forms, such as stars, and the introduction of new materials, including concrete block and fiberglass, stimulating experimentation with non-geometric, irregular forms on an increasing scale. The book includes an essay by Nicholas Baume and Joe Madura that provides a historical and critical context for the structures. Additional essays by Rachel Haidu, Anna Lovatt, and kirsten Swenson provide fresh arthistorical commentary, ranging from the problematic of site for LeWitts initial structures to the integral relationship between his drawings and three-dimensional works. Stunning color plates record the works on display in New yorks City Hall Park, supplemented by archival and historical documentation.

one of the preeminent figures in 20th-century Chinese art, Fu Baoshi (19041965) revolutionized the tradition of Chinese ink painting, opening the door to innovations by subsequent generations. As both an art historian and a painter, he directed his work toward protecting cultural heritage in times of war and revolution. From traditional-style landscape and figure painting to political artwork manifesting state ideology during the Mao era, Fus work demonstrates his search for a unique artistic language that speaks for the self and the nation. Using native tradition as an essential element, Fus artistic modernity defined Chinese art as a discipline distinct from Western and international socialist art of the time. Chinese Art in an Age of Revolution is the first comprehensive retrospective of Fus work to be published in the West. The book includes more than 100 artworks that demonstrate his stylistic transformation across several decades. Insightful essays offer the latest scholarship on Fus life and art, Japans impact on modern Chinese art, and art and politics in Chinas turbulent 20th century.

Introduction by Sheila R. Canby
An in-depth and comprehensive study of art from the Islamic world based on the preeminent collection in the Metropolitan Museum
This lavish and informative book explores the great diversity and range of Islamic culture through one of the finest collections in the world. Published to coincide with the historic reopening of the galleries of the Metropolitan Museums Islamic Art Department, it presents nearly three hundred masterworks created in the rich tradition of the Islamic faith and culture.

Accompanying a major international exhibition, this catalogue features outstanding portraits in a variety of media, and provides a comprehensive study of Italys great age of portraiture
In the words of the historian Jacob Burkhardt, 15thcentury Italy was the place where the notion of the individual was born. In keeping with this notion, early Renaissance Italy also hosted the first great age of portraiture in Europe. Artists working in Florence, venice, and the courts of Italy created magnificent portrayals of the people around themheads of state and church, patrons, scholars, poets, artistsconcentrating for the first time on producing recognizable likenesses and expressions of personality. Written by a team of international scholars, The Renaissance Portrait provides new research and insight into the early history of portraiture. Unlike most surveys of Renaissance art, it introduces and studies in detail the three major Italian art centers of the 15th century, exploring how the rapid development of portraiture was closely linked to Renaissance society and politics, ideals of the individual, and concepts of beauty. Close to 190 works, in media ranging from painting and manuscript illumination to marble sculpture and bronze medals, created by artists that include Donatello, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, verrocchio, Ghirlandaio, Pisanello, Mantegna, Giovanni Bellini, and Antonello da Messina, are illustrated and extensively discussed.

Heroic Africans
Alisa LaGamma
Challenging conventional understanding of key masterpieces of African sculpture, this important book acknowledges the eminent figures who inspired the works and the cultural values that informed them
over the centuries, artists across sub-Saharan Africa have memorialized eminent figures in their societies using an astonishingly diverse repertoire of naturalistic and abstract sculptural idioms. The arrival of Europeans as traders, then as colonizers, led to the isolation of many of these sculptures from their original sites, as well as from the contexts in which they were conceived; thus, today, they are seen primarily as timeless representations of generic archetypes. This extensively illustrated publication reexamines major landmarks of African art in terms of the individuals who inspired them and the cultural values that informed them, providing insight into the hidden meaning and inspiration behind these great artistic achievements. Heroic Africans considers the landmark sculptural traditions of the kingdom of Benin and the Ife civilization in Nigeria; the Akan peoples of Ghana; the Bangwa, kom, and related chiefdoms of the Cameroon Grassfields; the Chokwe of Angola and zambia; and the Luluwa, Hemba, and kuba of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Some 106 masterpieces created between the 12th and the early 20th century complemented by maps, drawings, and excavation and documentary photographsreveal the religious and aesthetic conventions that defined distinct regional genres of representation.

Czech Avant-Garde Art and Modern Glass from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection karel Srp and Lenka Bydovsk
Houston collectors Mary and Roy Cullen visited Czechoslovakia just after the velvet Revolution in 1989 and became captivated by Czech art. They began collecting 20th-century modernist and avant-garde works in a variety of media, including paintings, photography, collages, drawings, artists books, and glass. This generously illustrated catalogue is the first to detail their extensive collection.
An interview with the Cullens traces the evolution of their collection, and noted Czech scholars karel Srp and Lenka Bydovsk delve into their indepth holdings of landmark journals and artists books, which include works by prominent artists such as Toyen, Josef ma, karel Teige, and Jindrich tyrsk. The publication presents original texts by artists and writers of the period, many of which have been translated into English for the first time. Another focus of the book is the tradition of Czech glass art and its technical and artistic innovations, described in detail by glass expert Jan Mergl. New Formations brings these various facets of Czech artistic output together to demonstrate the rich contributions of Czech artists in the 20th century.

Byzantine and Russian Icons from The Menil Collection Annemarie Weyl Carr, Bertrand Davezac, and Clare Elliott
The Menil houses one of the most important collections of Byzantine and Russian icons in the United Statesa collection that spans over one thousand years, from the 7th to the 18th century. Understanding the power of this art form, seldom recognized outside of Russia and Greece, Dominique de Menil assembled the collection in the 1980s. Imprinting the Divine presents sixty of these exquisite works in full color, many of which have never been published, accompanied by essays that explore the history and artistry of these precious images. Christian orthodoxy developed in the Near East during the Byzantine Empire and eventually spread to the surrounding regions of Greece, Russia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Along with the practices of the faith came the tradition of icons, which varied stylistically by region. Most often painted on wooden panels, these icons are more than just depictions of holy people; they are, in effect, holy images that transcend time and place. These works had to be recognizable and true to their subjects, but they also blended familiar elements to generate new messages.

Light years
Essays by Mark Godfrey, Robin kelsey, Anne Rorimer, Giuliano Sergio, Joshua Shannon, and Matthew S. Witkovsky
Photography played a critical role in conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s, as artists turned to photography as both medium and subject matter. Light Years offers the first major survey of the key artists of this period who used photography to new and inventive ends. Whereas some employed photographic images to create slide projections, photographic canvases, and artists books, others integrated them into sculptural assemblages and multimedia installations. This book highlights the work of acclaimed international artists such as vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Mel Bochner, Sol LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, Giuseppe Penone, and Ed Ruscha. Matthew Witkovskys essay provides the larger context for photography within conceptual art, a theme that is further elaborated in texts by Mark Godfrey, Anne Rorimer, and Joshua Shannon. An essay by Robin kelsey focuses on the pioneering work of John Baldessari in which he explored the element of chance, and an essay by Giuliano Sergio illuminates the lesserknown work of Arte Povera, an Italian movement that sought to dismantle established conventions in both the making and presentation of art.

Masterpieces of Courtly and Religious Art from the Tokyo National Museum Tokyo National Museum staff
With contributions by Melissa McCormick
As the oldest and largest museum in Japan, the Tokyo National Museum houses a vast collection of culturally important artworks. Elegant Perfection highlights twenty-six masterpieces from this esteemed collection, and together these objects tell the story of the countrys artistic development from the prehistoric Jomon era through the 19th century. Essays by experts at the Tokyo National Museum offer insights into how Buddhist art evolved in Japan, and how the aesthetics valued by Japanese courtly society, initially influenced by Chinese Tang culture, gradually became more distinctly Japanese. Melissa McCormick contributes an essay that demonstrates the connections between the realms of courtly and religious art in Japan. The featured works include exquisite examples of painting, sculpture, calligraphy, metalwork, ceramics, and lacquerware. Among them are an 11th-century inscribed poetry compilation, lacquered musical instruments, Edo-period ceramics produced for tea ceremonies, and Buddhist sculpture, painting, and ritual objects. This publication offers a rare opportunity to discover the history and significance of these treasured works of art.

Matisse
The works that Henri Matisse (18691954) executed between late 1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic. often sharply composed, heavily reworked, and dominated by the colors black and gray, these compositions are rigorously abstracted and purged of nearly all descriptive detail. This handsome book represents the first sustained examination of Matisses output from this important period, revealing fascinating information about his working method, experimental techniques, and compositional choices uncovered through extensive new historical, technical, and scientific research. It features in-depth studies of individual works such as Bathers by a River and The Moroccans, which Matisse himself counted as among the most pivotal of his career, and facilitates a greater understanding of the artists innovative process and radical stylistic evolution.

Art, History and the visualization of Maritime Britain, 17681829 Geoff Quilley
Empire to Nation offers a new consideration of the image of the sea in British visual culture during a critical period for both the rise of the visual arts in Britain and the expansion of the nations imperial power. It argues that maritime imagery was central to cultivating a sense of nationhood in relation to rapidly expanding geographical knowledge and burgeoning imperial ambition. At the same time, the growth of the maritime empire presented new opportunities for artistic enterprise. Taking as its starting point the year 1768, which marks the foundation of the Royal Academy and the launch of Captain Cooks first circumnavigation, it asserts that this was not just an interesting coincidence but symptomatic of the relationship between art and empire. This relationship was officially sanctioned in the establishment of the Naval Gallery at Greenwich Hospital and the installation there of J. M. W. Turners great Battle of Trafalgar in 1829, the year that closes this study. Between these two poles, the book traces a changing historical discourse that informed visual representation of maritime subjects

Distinct social and political situations in Norway and Switzerland yielded fundamental differences in the two countries painting traditions. As Norway endured a long struggle for freedom, Switzerland remained proudly independent. While Norway was poor, isolated, and dependent for survival on its natural resources, the Swiss enjoyed prosperity, a cosmopolitan society, and prestige as an early center of industry. The authors examine how this was manifested in the landscape paintings of such prominent artists as Johan Christian Dahl, Thomas Fearnley, Peder Balke, and Alexandra Calame. The book also supplies a helpful chronology and brief artist biographies.

Drawings by Rembrandt, His Students, and Circle from the Maida and George Abrams Collection
With William W. Robinson
George and Maida Abrams amassed perhaps the finest private collection of Dutch old Master drawings in the world. This catalogue presents a selection of these superb works, and explores the role of drawing in the creative process in Rembrandts studio and wider circle. The artists featured include Ferdinand Bol, Govert Flinck, Samuel van Hoogstraten, Jan Lievens, and Nicolas Maes: the key figures in Rembrandts circle, who at times were deeply influenced by his remarkable style and on other occasions explored different approaches. Their works range from figure studies to landscapes, from narrative and biblical scenes to lively genre scenes. At the heart of the catalogue are ten exceptional drawings by Rembrandt, including two highly finished landscape drawings and a variety of figure studies. The accompanying text is written by two leading scholars of Dutch art, both of whom have worked closely with the Abrams collection.

The Eastlakes and the victorian Art World Susanna Avery-Quash and Julie Sheldon
As prominent members of the victorian cultural and artistic world, Sir Charles and Lady Elizabeth Eastlake, along with their nephew Charles Locke Eastlake, enjoyed the friendship and support of influential figures including Prince Albert, Sir Thomas Lawrence, J. M. W. Turner, and Sir Robert Peel. This fascinating original biography brings the unique personality of each of the Eastlakes into sharp focus while also exploring their important contributions during the early days of the National Gallery. Charles Eastlake, an artist and connoisseur, was chosen to be not only the President of the Royal Academy from 1850, but also the National Gallerys first Director in 1855. With his capable wife, a literary critic and art historian in her own right, he traveled throughout Europe acquiring significant paintings for the Gallery and implementing important changes to their display and description. Nephew Charles, an architect and popularizer of the Arts and Crafts style, was keeper at the National Gallery from 1878 to 1898. Art for the Nation tells the remarkable story of the Eastlake familys devotion to art and to the National Gallery during its crucial formative years.

This handsome volume is the first authoritative survey of one of the most intriguing periods of British artthe radically innovative decade of the 1860s. The book explores new developments in English painting of this period, focusing on the early work of Edward Burne-Jones, Frederic Leighton, Albert Moore, Edward Poynter, Simeon Solomon, and James McNeill Whistler, as well as on paintings by Frederick Sandys and the older G. F. Watts, and by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his Pre-Raphaelite colleagues Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Allen Staley argues that engagement in the decorative arts, particularly by Burne-Jones, Moore, and Poynter at the outset of their careers, led to a transcending of traditional expectations of painting, making abstract formal qualities, or beauty for beautys sake, the main goal. Rather than being about what it depicts, the painting itself becomes its own subject. The New Painting of the 1860s examines the interplay among the artists and the shared ambitions underlying their works, giving impetus to what would soon come to be known as the Aesthetic Movement.

The internationally renowned Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto (18981976) created several landmarks of modern design in the United States. The first, the Finland Pavilion at the New york Worlds Fair in 1939, introduced his pioneering style to the country and established his reputation among his American peers. Subsequent designs produced in the United States marked major turning points in his evolving position as an architect. His commissioned project for the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Baker House dormitory (completed 1949) features an undulating facade of red brick, a material that references the buildings Boston surroundings. Aaltos fan-shaped plan for the Mount Angel Abbey Library (completed 1970) in St. Benedict, oregon, his consummate exploration of the library type, capitalizes on the local terrain and the use of natural light. Aaltos designs had a lasting impact on American modernism, but his experiences in America also profoundly influenced his own stylistic development. Aalto and America is a detailed survey of this beneficial relationship, with contributions by fifteen international experts who explore these key designs in relation to larger themes in international politics, architectural culture, housing research, and modern criticism and design.

Color in Islamic Art and Culture Edited by Jonathan M. Bloom and Sheila S. Blair
The koran uses the phrase and diverse are their hues to describe the glorious chromatic variety of Gods creation. Color has always been an important signifier in Islamic art, and its uses have encompassed the practical as well as the mystical and poetic. This comprehensive volume is the first to analyze the use of color in Islamic art and architecture from a range of artistic and cultural perspectives.
A prestigious team of international scholars discusses the applications and implications of color in Islamic cultures from medieval to modern times and from Central Asia to Spain and beyond. They look at art, architecture, literature, philosophy, mysticism, optics, and conservation studies. Amply and vividly illustrated, And Diverse Are Their Hues is also a remarkable visual resource for Islamic carpets, ceramic tiles, manuscripts, gardens, and buildings.

Alighiero e Boetti
Mark Godfrey
Alighiero e Boetti (19401994) has emerged as one of the most significant figures of postwar European art whose practice is having an unfolding impact on younger artists. His powerful influence can be attributed to the material diversity of his work, its conceptual ingenuity, and his political sensibility. His work, though usually associated with the Italian Arte Povera group and Conceptual Art, has never quite fit into these contexts. Boetti ceased making Arte Poveratype objects in 1969 after a few years of association with the group, and his later choice of materials (embroidery, calligraphy, mosaic, kilims) put a gulf between his work and that of most artists of the 1970s and 1980s. Boetti had an idiosyncratic style of working, and he often collaborated with or commissioned others to execute his ideas, including his celebrated maps of the world, colorfully embroidered by women in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He tended to create several divergent bodies of work at once in series that he continued throughout his life. Alighiero e Boetti is the first monograph covering the whole career of this crucial artist to be published in English. Rather than present a linear account of the artists creative practice, the book contains linked chapters that expound on the key subjects of Boettis art and position this work in relation to that of his European and American contemporaries.

This fascinating book recounts the extensive building program that took place at Canterbury Cathedral Priory, England, from 1153 to 1167, during the time when Thomas Becket served as Royal Chancellor and then as archbishop of Canterbury. Masterminded by Prior Wibert, the renewal included the physical expansion of the cathedrals precinct, the construction of new buildings, and the installation of a pioneering pressurized water system. This ambitious undertaking utilized a Late Romanesque style, lavish materials, and sculpture, and drew on the optimism and creative energy of the young Angevin rulers of England, Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Canterbury Cathedral Priory in the Age of Becket reassesses the surviving remains and relates them to important changes in Benedictine monasticism concerned with hospitality, hygiene, the administration of law, liturgy, and the care of the sick. It also restores to history a neglected major patron of unusual breadth and accomplishments. Peter Fergusson sheds fresh light on the social and cultural history of the mid-12th century.

Chicago architect and iconoclast Stanley Tigerman has been called a design maven who can spit venom like a snake. Though he is at times sharply critical, his ability to cut to the core of architectural discourse has opened this insular world to a broader audience. His words and theories are appealing for their candor and are backed by his long-standing architectural practice. Since 1964 Tigerman has made an indelible mark on his hometown and on cities across the globe, with projects ranging from the Five Polytechnic Institutes in Bangladesh to the Holocaust Memorial Foundation Museum in Skokie, Illinois. This collection of essays, most previously unpublished, spans the course of Tigermans career. Included are writings on the history of Chicago architecture, architectural theory, and commentary on contemporaries. Tigermans engaging words, at times humorous and humble, at times biting and cantankerous, will captivate students and scholars as well as the general reader.
STANLEy TIGERMAN is an American architect, theorist, and designer and the former director of the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is the author of Versus: An American Architects Alternatives and The Architecture of Exile. EMMANUEL PETIT is associate professor at the yale School of Architecture.

kosta Alex
Florian Rodari
The Greek-American artist kosta Alex (19252005) initially trained in figure sculpture in Manhattan. In 1947 he moved to Paris, where he mingled with and exhibited alongside the avant-garde artists of his day. His interest in the flattening of forms led him to create his first series of decoupagecollages in about 1950. Like many other artists of the time, he was drawn to using humble, utilitarian materials such as corrugated cardboard, packaging, newspapers, magazines, wallpaper, timetables, lists, maps, and other scraps culled from daily urban life. He integrated these elements into his art in an often poetic and humorous manner, using screws, nuts, staples, rope, string, and glue to connect them into a cohesive whole.
Alex also drew inspiration from classical sculpture, primitive art, and Islamic art, and employed repetitive themes and rhythmic arrangements in his compositions. In the late 1960s and early 1970s he produced groundbreaking collage-reliefs in expanded polystyrene, which Man Ray praised for breaking the two-dimensional barrier. Handsomely illustrated, Kosta Alex is the first monograph on this intriguing artist.
FLoRIAN RoDARI is the former director of the Muse de lElyse in Lausanne (197983), curator of the Fondation William Cuendet & Atelier de Saint-Prex, and curator of the Fondation Jean et Suzanne Planque at the Muse Granet dAix-en-Provence.

The Looshaus
Christopher Long
When it was completed in 1911, the Goldman & Salatsch Building in vienna, commonly known as the Looshaus, incited controversy for its austerity and plainness. It represented a stark rejection of the contemporary preference for ornamentation, though its architect, Adolf Loos (18701933), had intended it to preserve viennese tradition within a new modernist language. The heated debate that ensued among critics and the public set the project apart, distinguishing it as one of the most important and contentious buildings of the early 20th century. In celebration of the Looshauss centennial year, Christopher Long, a leading authority on viennese architectural history, brings to light extensive new research and careful analysis that dispel long-held myths about Loos, his building, and its critical reception. The book, which features new color photography and a vast array of archival materials in print for the first time, tells the remarkable story of the Looshauss design and construction, the political and social restlessness it reflected, and the buildings fundamental role in defining the look of modernism.
CHRISToPHER LoNG is professor and chair of history/theory at University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture. He is the author of Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design (yale).

Steeped in detail of every kind, this book conveys an exhilaratingly rich tableau of the viennese world within which Adolf Loos operated, and makes a very valuable contribution to the study of a building already widely acknowledged as among the most important early 20th-century additions to the architecture of vienna, a key site in the evolution of early Modernism.Elizabeth Clegg, author of Art, Design, and Architecture in Central Europe 18901920

The Glassell Collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Frances Marzio
one of the worlds top hundred art collectors, Alfred C. Glassell, Jr. (1913 2008), was fascinated by gold, but not for its monetary value. Glassell valued instead the spiritual significance that gold held in many ancient cultures, particularly those of Africa, South America, and Indonesia. over the years, he acquired an astonishing number of artworks, assembling the largest privately held collection of Pre-Columbian gold. From 1997 to 2004, Glassell donated works of African and Indonesian gold to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Upon his death in 2008, he bequeathed his collection of PreColumbian gold to the museum. Masterworks of Pre-Columbian, Indonesian, and African Gold explores two hundred of these dazzling works, many published here for the first time. Spanning from 2000 b.c. to A.D. 1600, these precious objects reflect a variety of cultures, such as the Calima, Quimbaya, Sicn, Moch, and Cocl, and a range of geographic locations, from Mexico to Argentina and from Africa to Indonesia. The book offers fresh insights into the enduring appeal of gold and its artistic manifestations in diverse cultures.

Restoring an American Masterpiece Carrie Rebora Barratt, Lance Mayer and Gay Myers, Suzanne Smeaton, and Eli Wilner
Emanuel Leutzes life-size Washington Crossing the Delaware commemorates the critical moment in the American Revolution when George Washington led a surprise attack against troops supporting the British forces in Trenton. When Leutze created the painting in 1850, after he had returned from America to his native Germany, he was hoping to rally support for the revolutionary movements then sweeping Europe. He sent the work to New york in 1851, and within four months 50,000 people had paid to see it. Today the painting is an icon of American visual culture and one of the most beloved objects in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2007, Leutzes masterpiece became the focus of the most ambitious conservation and reframing project in the museums history. This book is a behind-the-scenes report on that project, prefaced by an account of the history of the paintings acquisition and display at the museum.
CARRIE REBoRA BARRATT is associate director for collections and administration at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. LANCE MAyER and GAy MyERS, of the New London, Connecticut, art conservation firm Mayer & Myers, undertook the treatment of the painting.

Arts of Indias Deccan Courts, 13231687 Edited by Navina Najat Haidar and Marika Sardar
Between the 14th and the 17th century, the Deccan plateau of south-central India was home to a series of important and highly cultured Muslim courts. Subtly blending elements from Iran, West Asia, southern India, and northern India, the arts produced under these sultanates are markedly different from those of the rest of India and especially from those produced under Mughal patronage. This publication, a result of a 2008 symposium held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, investigates the arts of Deccan and the unique output in the fields of painting, literature, architecture, arms, textiles, and carpets. Special features of the book are the illustration of all thirty-four paintings from a 16th-century copy of the poem the Pem Nem, images of several paintings and textiles that have only recently been discovered or identified, and new photographs of the Ibrahim Rauza monument in Bijapur, with a full transcription and translation of the tombs inscriptions.
NAvINA NAJAT HAIDAR is associate curator and MARIkA SARDAR is a research associate, both in the Department of Islamic Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Art for the Early Tudors Edited by Cinzia Maria Sicca and Louis Waldman
With a foreword by Brian Allen and Joseph Connors
Under the rule of Henry vII (r. 14851509) England became a powerful nation. The Tudor court sought to express its worldliness and political clout through major artistic commissions, employing Florentine sculptors and painters to create lavish new interiors, suitable for entertaining foreign dignitaries, for its royal palaces. These were exemplified by Henry vIIIs palace of Nonsuch, so named because no other palace could match its magnificence. Italian sculpture, painting, and tapestries of the day reflected an interest in portraiture and dynastic monuments, epitomized in England by the royal tomb projects created by Baccio Bandinelli, Benedetto da Rovezzano, and Pietro Torrigiani. Generously illustrated throughout, The Anglo-Florentine Renaissance traces the artistic links between Medicean Florence and Tudor England through essays by an international team of scholars and explores how the language of Florentine art effectively expressed Englands political aspirations and rose to prominence as a new international courtly style.

A Critical Anthology of Response Edited by Mara Elena Huizi and Ester Crespn
Introduction by Mari Carmen Ramrez
one of the most influential Latin American artists of her day, Gego (1912 1994) pioneered a new direction in art with her innovative sculptures of the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Germany as Gertrude Goldschmidt, Gego fled the Nazi regime and moved to Caracas, venezuela. There, during the postwar years, she absorbed modernist trends such as kinetic and geometric abstract art but ultimately forged her own artistic path. Exploring the concept of the line, space, and time, she linked pieces of metal to create weblike geometric forms, which she called drawings in space. These experiments culminated in Reticulrea, a massive netlike sculptural installation first 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, and Gego.

Many people who live in and visit the Lake District are charmed by the traditional buildings that enhance the landscape. This book introduces the traditional houses, barns, watermills, and chapels of the Lake District and the surrounding hills and valleys that make up the county of Cumbria. With the aid of hundreds of photographs, drawings, and diagrams, the author explains how the building types have developed over the centuries and how the indigenous building materials of stone, clay, brick, and slate have been used to create works of vernacular architecture that seem to grow out of the surrounding landscape.
R. W. BRUNSkILL has recently retired as professor at De Montfort University, Leicester, and was formerly reader in architecture at the University of Manchester.
