been composing for more than forty years. A 1967 fire that destroyed
some of his work accounts for only a small part of the novel’s fate;
the rest is revealed in the thousands of pages he left behind after
his death in 1994, many of them collected for the first time in the
recently published Three Days Before the Shooting . . . .
Ralph Ellison in Progress is the first book to survey the expansive
geography of Ellison’s unfinished novel while re-imaging the more
familiar, but often misunderstood, territory of Invisible Man. It works
from the premise that understanding Ellison’s process of composi-
tion imparts important truths not only about the author himself but
about race, writing, and American identity. Drawing on thousands
of pages of Ellison’s journals, typescripts, computer drafts, and hand-
written notes, many never before studied, Adam Bradley argues for
a shift in scholarly emphasis that moves a greater share of the weight
of Ellison’s literary legacy to the last forty years of his life and to the
novel he left forever in progress.

the systematic misrepresentations and partial accounting that are at
the core of climate skepticism. His detailed analysis serves not only
as a guide to reading the global warming skeptics, but also as a model
for assessing the state of climate science. With attention to the com-
plexities of climate-related phenomena across a range of areas—from
Arctic polar bears to rising sea-levels and the shrinking Antarctic ice
sheet—The Lomborg Deception also offers readers an enlightening
review of some of today’s most urgent climate concerns.
Friel’s book is the first to respond directly to Lomborg’s controversial
research as published in The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001) and
Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming
(2007). His close reading of Lomborg’s textual claims and support-
ing footnotes reveals a lengthy list of findings that will rock climate
skeptics and their allies in the government and news media, demon-
strating that the published peer-reviewed climate science, as assessed
mainly by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
has had it mostly right—even if somewhat conservatively right—all
along. Friel’s able defense of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth against
Lomborg’s repeated attacks is by itself worth an attentive reading.

Dwight Eisenhower and the Concept of Unified Command
David Jablonsky
In this book a retired U.S. Army colonel and military historian takes a
fresh look at Dwight D. Eisenhower’s lasting military legacy, in light of
his evolving approach to the concept of unified command. Examining
Eisenhower’s career from his West Point years to the passage of the 1958
Defense Reorganization Act, David Jablonsky explores Eisenhower’s efforts
to implement a unified command in the U.S. military—a concept that even-
tually led to the current organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and that,
almost three decades after Eisenhower’s presidency, played a major role in
defense reorganization under the Goldwater-Nichols Act. In the new cen-
tury, Eisenhower’s approach continues to animate reform discussion at the
highest level of government in terms of the interagency process.

Oblomov
Ivan Goncharov;
Translated by Marian Schwartz
Set at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when idleness was still looked
upon by Russia’s serf-owning rural gentry as a plausible and worthy goal, Ivan
Goncharov’s Oblomov follows the travails of an unlikely hero, a young aris-
tocrat incapable of making a decision. Indolent, inattentive, incurious, given
to daydreaming and procrastination, Oblomov clearly predates the ideal of
the industrious modern man, yet he is impossible not to admire through
Goncharov’s masterful prose. Translator Marian Schwartz breathes new life
into this Russian masterpiece in this, the first translation from the generally
recognized definitive edition of the original, as well the first to attempt to
replicate in English Goncharov’s wry humor and all-embracing humanity.
Replete with ingenious social satire and cutting criticism of nineteenth-cen-
tury Russian society, this edition of Oblomov will introduce new readers to
the novel that Leo Tolstoy praised as “a truly great work, the likes of which
one has not seen for a long, long time.”
Ivan Goncharov (1812–1891) was born in Simbirsk, Russia, and is the author of
three novels. Goncharov’s short stories, essays, and memoirs were published posthu-
mously in 1919. Marian Schwartz is a prize-winning translator of Russian fiction,
history, biography, criticism, and fine art. She is the principal English translator of the
works of Nina Berberova and translated the New York Times bestseller The Last Tsar, by
Edvard Radzinsky. She lives in Austin, TX.

sider property a key to efficient markets, Purdy draws upon Smith’s
theories to argue that the virtues of wealth are social rather than eco-
nomic. In Purdy’s view, ownership does much more than shield one
from government interference. Property shapes social life in ways
that bring us closer to, or take us farther from, the ideal of a com-
munity of free and equal members. This view of property is neither
libertarian nor communitarian but treats the community as the pre-
condition of individual freedom. This view informed U.S. law in the
early days of the republic, Purdy writes, and it is one that we need to
restore today.
Touching upon some of the most controversial issues in American
politics and law, including slavery, inheritance, international
development, and climate change, The Meaning of Property offers
a compelling new view of property and freedom and enriches our
understanding of democratic society.

Toxic Bodies
Hormone Disruptors and the Legacy of DES
Nancy Langston
In 1941 the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of diethylstil-
bestrol (DES), the first synthetic chemical to be marketed as an estrogen
and one of the first to be identified as a hormone disruptor—a chemical that
mimics hormones. Although researchers knew that DES caused cancer and
disrupted sexual development, doctors prescribed it for millions of women,
initially for menopause and then for miscarriage, while farmers gave cattle
the hormone to promote rapid weight gain. Its residues, and those of other
chemicals, in the American food supply are changing the internal ecosys-
tems of human, livestock, and wildlife bodies in increasingly troubling ways.
In this gripping exploration, Nancy Langston shows how these chemicals
have penetrated into every aspect of our bodies and ecosystems, yet the U.S.

Three quesTions for roberT Grudin:
How does Design and Truth relate to your previous books?

Like my four earlier nonfiction books—Time and the Art of Living, The Grace of
Great Things, On Dialogue, and American Vulgar—Design and Truth takes up a
fundamental aspect of liberty. The others focused respectively on time, creativity,
communication and consciousness. Design and Truth takes up the question of how
we shape and channel our energies.
What is “design”?
Design is our ability to shape, frame, build or focus anything, from love poetry to
castles to music to subatomic rays. Thus design is the faculty that defines us as a
civilization and our language in the dialogue with our environment. On top of this,
we communicate with each other through designed media like words, machines,
art, architecture and social institutions.
Most of us think of a design as something that simply is.

How can a design be either true or false?
Our designs communicate who and what we are, as well as what we want to be
and to do. Good designs tell the truth about our nature and our intentions. They
communicate directly with nature and build the human commonwealth. Bad
designs, on the other hand, often spring from the
lust for power or profit, and they express
themselves dishonestly. Thus we can say that
good design tells the truth, while bad design
is a lie.

From the ornate cathedrals of Renaissance Europe to the much-
maligned Ford Edsel of the late 1950s, all products of human design
communicate much more than their mere intended functions.
Design holds both psychological and moral power over us, and these
forces may be manipulated, however subtly, to surprising effect. In
an argument that touches upon subjects as seemingly unrelated as
the Japanese tea ceremony, Italian mannerist painting, and Thomas
Jefferson’s Monticello plantation, Grudin turns his attention to the
role of design in our daily lives, focusing especially on how politi-
cal and economic powers impress themselves on us through the
built environment.
Although architects and designers will find valuable insights here,
Grudin’s intended audience is not exclusively the trained expert but
all those who use designs and live within them every day.

Tadeusz Borowski was a talented young poet when he was arrested and
deported to Auschwitz in 1943. He emerged at the end of the Second

Nazi concentration camp system. This book offers the first authoritative

animals that have inhabited Hawaii throughout its history. From
the unique perspective of paleoecology—the study of ancient envi-
ronments—Burney has focused his investigations on the dramatic
ecological changes that began after the arrival of humans one
thousand years ago, detailing not only the environmental degrada-
tion they introduced but also asking how and why this destruction
occurred and, most significantly, what might happen in the future.
Using Kaua‘i as an ecological prototype and drawing on the author’s
adventures in Madagascar, Mauritius, and other exciting locales,
Burney examines highly pertinent theories about current threats to
endangered species, restoration of ecosystems, and how people can
work together to repair environmental damage elsewhere on the
planet. Intriguing illustrations, including a reconstruction of the
ancient ecological landscape of Kaua‘i by the artist Julian Hume,
offer an engaging window into the ecological marvels of another
time. A fascinating adventure story of one man’s life in paleoecology,
Back to the Future in the Caves of Kaua‘i reveals the excitement—
and occasional frustrations—of a career spent exploring what the
past can tell us about the future.

under the banner of science. In Robinson’s view, scientific reason-
ing does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like
Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science
represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge,
an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a
simple and final model of reality.
By defending the importance of individual reflection, Robinson
celebrates the power and variety of human consciousness in the
tradition of William James. She explores the nature of subjectivity
and considers the culture in which Sigmund Freud was situated and
its influence on his model of self and civilization. Through keen
interpretations of language, emotion, science, and poetry, Absence

examination available of the Islamic scientific tradition
and its relationship to religion and philosophy Ahmad Dallal is provost and professor of
history, American University of Beruit.
In this wide-ranging and masterful work, Ahmad Dallal examines
the significance of scientific knowledge and situates the culture of
science in relation to other cultural forces in Muslim societies. He
traces the ways in which the realms of scientific knowledge and
religious authority were delineated historically. The realization of a
discrepancy between tradition and science often led to demolition
and rebuilding and, most important, to questioning whether scien-
tific knowledge should take precedence over religious authority in a
matter where their realms clearly overlap.
Dallal frames his inquiry around three concerns: What cultural
forces provided the conditions for debate over the primacy of reli-
gion or science? How did these debates emerge? And how were they
sustained? His primary objectives are to study science in Muslim
societies within its larger cultural context and to trace the episte-
mological distinctions between science and philosophy, on the one
hand, and science and religion, on the other. He looks at religious
and scientific texts and situates them in the contexts of religion,
philosophy, and science. Finally, Dallal describes the relationship
negotiated in the classical (medieval) period between the religious,
scientific, and philosophical systems of knowledge that is central to
the Islamic scientific tradition and shows how this relationship has
changed radically in modern times.

wide-ranging work, Willie James Jennings delves deep into the late
medieval soil in which the modern Christian imagination grew, to
reveal how Christianity’s highly refined process of socialization has
inadvertently created and maintained segregated societies. A probing
study of the cultural fragmentation—social, spatial, and racial—that
took root in the Western mind, this book shows how Christianity has
consistently forged Christian nations rather than encouraging genu-
ine communion between disparate groups and individuals.
Weaving together the stories of Zurara, the royal chronicler of Prince
Henry, the Jesuit theologian Jose de Acosta, the famed Anglican
Bishop John William Colenso, and the former slave writer Olaudah
Equiano, Jennings narrates a tale of loss, forgetfulness, and missed
opportunities for the transformation of Christian communities.
Touching on issues of slavery, geography, Native American history,
Jewish-Christian relations, literacy, and translation, he brilliantly
exposes how the loss of land and the supersessionist ideas behind the
Christian missionary movement are both deeply implicated in the
invention of race.
Using his bold, creative, and courageous critique to imagine a truly
cosmopolitan citizenship that transcends geopolitical, nationalist,
ethnic, and racial boundaries, Jennings charts, with great vision, new
ways of imagining ourselves, our communities, and the landscapes
we inhabit.

Immortality and the Law

The Rising Power of the American Dead
Ray D. Madoff
This book takes a riveting look at how the law responds to that distinctly
American dream of immortality. While American law provides virtually no
protections for the interests we hold most dear—our bodies and our reputa-
tions—when it comes to property interests, the American dead have greater
control than anywhere else in the world. Moreover, these rights are growing
daily. From grave robbery to Elvis impersonators, Madoff shows how the law
of the dead has a direct impact on how we live. Madoff examines how the
rising power of the American dead enables the deceased to exert control
over their wealth forever through grandiose schemes like “dynasty trusts” and
perpetual private charitable foundations and to control their creative works
and identities well into the unforeseeable future. Madoff explores how the
law of the dead can, in essence, extend the reach of life by granting virtual
immortality to individuals. All of this comes, Madoff contends, at real costs
imposed on the living.

The answer, writes Stuart Buck in this frank and thoroughly
researched book, lies in the complex history of desegregation.
Although it arose from noble impulses and was to the overall benefit
of the nation, racial desegegration was often implemented in a way
that was devastating to black communities. It frequently destroyed
black schools, reduced the numbers of black principals who could
serve as role models, and made school a strange and uncomfortable
environment for black children, a place many viewed as quintessen-

Drawing on research in education, history, and sociology as well as

Winning the Silicon Sweepstakes
Can the United States Compete in
Global Telecommunications?
Rob Frieden
In this timely book, Rob Frieden points out the myriad ways the United
States has fallen behind other countries in telecommunications. Despite
the appearance of robust competition and entrepreneurism in U.S. telecom
markets, there is very little of either. Because of an inattentive Congress and
a misguided FCC unwilling to confront real problems, industry incumbents
have been able to earn healthy profits while keeping the United States in the
backwaters of Internet-based information, communication, and entertain-
ment markets. At every turn, regulators have tipped the scales in favor of
large established companies, creating an environment that stifles innovation.
As a consequence, Americans are stuck with relatively slow connectivity and
with equipment that lacks features that have been staples in other countries
for years. In telecommunications, the United States is a little like a third
world country that is developing under crushing bureaucracies without rec-
ognizing that the rest of the world has passed it by. Frieden not only shows
how failure can intrude on the ability of the United States to compete but
suggests how to restore its competitiveness.

Trading Factories for Finance

The Economics and Politics of the 1970s
Judith Stein
In this fascinating new history, Judith Stein argues that in order to under-
stand our current economic crisis we need to look back to the 1970s and
the end of the age of the factory—the 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. When high oil
prices and economic competition from Japan and Germany battered the
American economy, new policies—both international and domestic—
became necessary. But war was waged against inflation, rather than against
unemployment, and the government promoted a balanced budget instead
of growth. This, says Stein, marked the beginning of the age of finance and
subsequent deregulation, free trade, low taxation, and weak unions that has
fostered inequality and now the worst recession in sixty years. “Judith Stein gets it. Trading Factories for

Translated by Stewart Spencer
An enthralling new biography of the

woman behind Bayreuth
In this meticulously researched book, Oliver Hilmes paints a fascinating and
revealing picture of the extraordinary Cosima Wagner—illegitimate daugh-
ter of Franz Liszt, wife of the conductor Hans von Bülow, then mistress and
subsequently wife of Richard Wagner. After Wagner’s death in 1883 Cosima
played a crucial role in the promulgation and politicization of his works,
assuming control of the Bayreuth Festival and transforming it into a shrine
to German nationalism. The High Priestess of the Wagnerian cult, Cosima
lived on for almost fifty years, crafting the image of Richard Wagner through “A readable, comprehensive and

edge of the natural and physical world, and brought the thrill of book
ownership to the masses. But, as Andrew Pettegree reveals in this
work of great historical merit, the story of the post-Gutenberg world
was rather more complicated than we have often come to believe.
The Book in the Renaissance reconstructs the first 150 years of the
world of print, exploring the complex web of religious, economic,
and cultural concerns surrounding the printed word. From its very
beginnings, the printed book had to straddle financial and religious
imperatives, as well as the very different requirements and constraints
of the many countries who embraced it, and, as Pettegree argues,
the process was far from a runaway success. More than ideas, the
success or failure of books depended upon patrons and markets,
precarious strategies and the thwarting of piracy, and the ebb and
flow of popular demand. Owing to his state-of-the-art and highly
detailed research, Pettegree crafts an authoritative, lucid, and truly
pioneering work of cultural history about a major development in
the evolution of European society.

When London Was Capital of America
Julie Flavell
Benjamin Franklin secretly loved London more than Philadelphia: it was
simply the most exciting place to be in the British Empire. And in the
decade before the outbreak of the American Revolution, thousands of his
fellow colonists flocked to the Georgian city in its first big wave of American
visitors. At the very point of political rupture, mother country and colonies
were socially and culturally closer than ever before. In this first-ever portrait
of eighteenth-century London as the capital of America, Julie M. Flavell re-
creates the famous city’s heyday as the center of an empire that encompassed
North America and the West Indies. The momentous years before indepen-
dence saw more colonial Americans than ever in London’s streets: wealthy
Southern plantation owners in quest of culture, slaves hoping for a chance
of freedom, Yankee businessmen looking for opportunities in the city, even
Ben Franklin seeking a second, more distinguished career. The stories of the
colonials, no innocents abroad, vividly re-create a time when Americans saw
London as their own and remind us of the complex, multiracial—at times
even decadent—nature of America’s colonial British heritage.
Julie Flavell, the author of many scholarly and popular publications on the
relationship between colonial America and Britain including Britain and America Go to
War, is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and an independent scholar. Born in the
United States, she currently lives in Scotland.

Spider Silk
Evolution and 400 Million Years of Spinning,

Leslie Brunetta and Catherine L. Craig
Spiders, objects of eternal human fascination, are found in many places: on
the ground, in the air, and even under water. Leslie Brunetta and Catherine
Craig have teamed up to produce a substantive yet entertaining book for
anyone who has ever wondered, as a spider rappelled out of reach on a line
of silk, “How do they do that?”
The orb web, that iconic wheel-shaped web most of us associate with spi-
ders, contains at least four different silk proteins, each performing a different
function and all meshing together to create a fly-catching machine that has
amazed and inspired humans through the ages. Brunetta and Craig tell the
intriguing story of how spiders evolved over 400 million years to add new silks “This wonderful book cures

Yemen
Dancing on the Heads of Snakes
Victoria Clark
Yemen is the dark horse of the Middle East. Every so often it enters the
headlines for one alarming reason or another—links with al-Qaeda, kid-
napped Westerners, explosive population growth—then sinks into obscurity
again. But, as Victoria Clark argues in this riveting book, we ignore Yemen
at our peril. The poorest state in the Arab world, it is still dominated by its
tribal makeup and has become a perfect breeding ground for insurgent and
terrorist movements.
Clark returns to the country where she was born to discover a perilously frag-
ile state that deserves more of our understanding and attention. On a series
of visits to Yemen between 2004 and 2009, she meets politicians, influential
tribesmen, oil workers and jihadists as well as ordinary Yemenis. Untangling

Dubai
Gilded Cage
Syed Ali
In less than two decades, Dubai has transformed itself from an obscure Gulf
emirate into a global center for business, tourism, and luxury living. It is a fas-
cinating case study in light-speed urban development, hyperconsumerism,
massive immigration, and vertiginous inequality. Its rulers have succeeded
in making Dubai into a worldwide brand, publicizing its astonishing hotels
and leisure opportunities while at the same time successfully downplaying its
complex policies towards guest workers and suppression of dissent.
In this enormously readable book, Syed Ali delves beneath the dazzling
surface to analyze how—and at what cost—Dubai has achieved such suc-
cess. Ali brings alive a society rigidly divided between expatriate Westerners
living self-indulgent lifestyles on short-term work visas, native Emiratis
who are largely passive observers and beneficiaries of what Dubai has
become, and workers from the developing world who provide the manual
labor and domestic service needed to keep the emirate running, often at
great personal cost.
Syed Ali currently teaches at Long Island University, Brooklyn, NY.

English, the great songs, poetry, stories, and teachings from the spiritual heritage of humanity. Its aim is to
foster open and informed discussion within and between faiths, as well as across the religious-secular divide,
drawing upon the spiritual wisdom of the past in developing insight for the future.
“The series of texts translated at the instigation of the International Sacred Literature Trust will
make the world’s heritage of spiritual and ethical insights available to a much wider audience.
I hope it will help to break down the barriers of suspicion and ignorance and encourage under-
standing and tolerance in this age of tension and conflict.”

ent the spirit or essence of a particular faith through
relevant texts edited by a significant scholar, supplemented by
original introductory and editorial material. The Spirit of the
Buddha is the inaugural title in the series. Future titles will
include works on Confucianism, Quakerism, Zoroastrianism,
and Tibetan Buddhism.
In this slim, enlightening volume, internationally recognized
Buddhist teacher Martine Batchelor presents the basic tenets
and teachings of the Buddha through a selection of essential texts
from the Pali canon, the earliest Buddhist scriptures. Viewed by
scholars as the actual substance of the historical teachings (and
possibly even the words) of the Buddha, these texts are essential
to an understanding of the Buddhist faith, and Batchelor illuminates them with her lucid analysis and inter-
pretations. Both accessible to nonpractitioners and helpful to scholars, The Spirit of the Buddha touches upon
key themes, including dharma, compassion, meditation, and peace, among others, creating a panoramic view
of one of the world’s most widely practiced faiths that is deeply rooted in its most vital texts.
Martine Batchelor, a former Buddhist nun, studied Zen Buddhism under the guidance of Kusan Sunim and is
the author of Let Go, Women in Korean Zen, Buddhism and Ecology, Principles of Zen, Meditation for Life, and The Path of
Compassion: The Bodhisattva Precepts, a translation of the Chinese Brahma’s Net Sutra. She lives in France.

Sudan
Darfur, Islamism and the World
Richard Cockett
Over the past two decades, the situation in Africa’s largest coun-
try, Sudan, has progressively deteriorated: the country is in second
position on the Failed States Index, a war in Darfur has claimed
hundreds of thousands of deaths, President Bashir has been indicted
by the International Criminal Court, a forthcoming referendum on
independence for Southern Sudan threatens to split the country vio-
lently apart.
In this fascinating and immensely readable book, the Africa editor
of the Economist gives an absorbing account of Sudan’s descent into
failure and what some have called genocide. Drawing on interviews
with many of the main players, Richard Cockett explains how and
why Sudan has disintegrated, looking in particular at the country’s
complex relationship with the wider world. He shows how the United
States and Britain were initially complicit in Darfur—but also how a
broad coalition of human-rights activists, right-wing Christians, and
opponents of slavery succeeded in bringing the issues to prominence
in the United States and creating an impetus for change at the high-
est level.
Dr. Richard Cockett has been Africa editor of the Economist since
2005. He was previously a senior lecturer in politics and history at the University
of London.

Hollywood Westerns and American Myth
The Importance of Howard Hawks and John Ford for Political Philosophy
Robert B. Pippin
In this pathbreaking book one of America’s most distinguished philosophers
brilliantly explores the status and authority of law and the nature of politi-
cal allegiance through close readings of three classic Hollywood Westerns:
Howard Hawks’ Red River and John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty
Valance and The Searchers.
Robert Pippin treats these films as sophisticated mythic accounts of a key
moment in American history: its “second founding,” or the western expan-
sion. His central question concerns how these films explore classical
problems in political psychology, especially how the virtues of a commer-
cial republic gained some hold on individuals at a time when the heroic
and martial virtues were so important. Westerns, Pippin shows, raise central
questions about the difference between private violence and revenge and the “A trenchant and illuminating study of

Miranda Aldhouse-Green shows in this fascinating book, the Druids’ day-to-

roles that Druids played in British and Gallic society during the first centu-

power brokers—Aldhouse-Green argues that they were a highly complex,

sis, fresh interpretations, and critical discussions, she gives the Druids a voice
that resonates in our own time.

The West has been accused of seeing the East in a hostile and deprecatory light,

the writings, poetry, and art of representative individuals including Catherine

Schimmelpenninck argues that the Russian Empire’s bi-continental geography,
its ambivalent relationship with the rest of Europe, and the complicated nature
of its encounter with Asia have all resulted in a variegated and often surprisingly
sympathetic understanding of the East among its people.

In this book—the first volume in his groundbreaking trilogy on the emergence of

thinking by examining the political ideology and institutions of Hellenistic and
late Roman antiquity and of the early European middle ages. By challenging the
popular belief that the ancient Greek and Roman worlds provided the origins of
our inherently secular politics, Oakley revises our understanding of the history of
political theory in a fundamental and far-reaching manner that will reverberate
for decades. This book lays the foundations for Oakley’s next two volumes, which
will develop his argument that it is in the Latin middle ages that we must seek the
ideological roots of modern political secularism.

Christians and Pagans Malcolm Lambert has taught history

The Conversion of Britain from Alban to Bede and theology at the universities of Bristol
and Reading and is the author of Franciscan
Malcolm Lambert Poverty, Medieval Heresy, and The Cathars.
Christians and Pagans offers a comprehensive and highly readable account
of the coming of Christianity to Britain, its coexistence or conflict with
paganism, and its impact on the lives of both indigenous islanders and invad-
ing Anglo-Saxons.
The Christianity of Roman Britain, so often treated in isolation, is here
deftly integrated with the history of the British churches of the Celtic world,
and with the histories of Ireland, Iona, and Pictland. Combining chronicle
and literary evidence with the fruits of the latest archaeological research,
Malcolm Lambert illuminates how the conversion process changed the
hearts and minds of early Britain.

How the Law Shapes the Places We Live Matthews Professor at the University of Notre

John Copeland Nagle
John Copeland Nagle shows how our reliance on environmental law affects
the natural environment through an examination of five diverse places in the
American landscape: Alaska’s Adak Island; the Susquehanna River; Colton
in California’s Inland Empire; Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the
badlands of North Dakota; and Alamogordo in New Mexico. Nagle asks
why some places are preserved by the law while others are not, and he finds
that environmental laws often have unexpected results while other laws have
surprising effects on the environment. Nagle argues that sound environmen-
tal policy requires better coordination among the many laws, regulations,
and social norms that determine the values and uses of our scarce lands
and waters.

Darwin’s Pictures
Views of Evolutionary Theory, 1837–1874
Julia Voss;
Translated by Lori Lantz
In this first-ever examination of Charles Darwin’s sketches, drawings, and

illustrations, Julia Voss presents the history of evolutionary theory told in pic-
tures. Darwin had a life-long interest in pictorial representations of nature,
sketching out his evolutionary theory and related ideas for over forty years.
Voss details the pictorial history of Darwin’s theory of evolution, starting
with his notebook sketches of 1837 and ending with the illustrations in The
Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1872). These images were pro-
foundly significant for Darwin’s long-term argument for evolutionary theory;
each characterizes a different aspect of his relationship with the visual infor-
mation and constitutes what can be called an “icon” of evolution. Voss shows
how Darwin “thought with his eyes” and how his pictorial representations
and the development and popularization of the theory of evolution were “This attractive and readable book

The Disappearing Center Alan I. Abramowitz is the Alben
Engaged Citizens, Polarization, and American Democracy W. Barkley Professor of Political Science at
Emory University.
Alan I. Abramowitz
Renowned political scientist Alan I. Abramowitz presents a groundbreaking argu-
ment that the most important divide in American politics is not between left and
right but rather between citizens who are politically engaged and those who are
not. It is the engaged members of the public, he argues, who most closely reflect
the ideals of democratic citizenship—but this is also the group that is most polar-
ized. Polarization at the highest levels of government, therefore, is not a sign of
elites’ disconnection from the public but rather of their responsiveness to the
more politically engaged parts of it. Though polarization is often assumed to be
detrimental to democracy, Abramowitz concludes that by presenting voters with
clear choices, polarization can serve to increase the public’s interest and participa-
tion in politics and strengthen electoral accountability.

Spanning nearly seven decades, a comprehensive

Widely regarded as one of the most important American painters
of the 20th century, Alice Neel is internationally recognized for
her contributions to Abstract Expressionism, especially her percep-
tive portraiture. Neel (1900–1984) was a portrait painter at a time
when this was traditionally the role of a male artist. After ascend-
ing to prominence in the 1960s as the feminist movement gained
momentum, she has remained an iconic figure in the history of
American painting. Exhibition Schedule:

Maurizio Cattelan
Is There Life Before Death?
Franklin Sirmans
The subversive, often jarringly direct sculptures of Italian artist Maurizio
Cattelan (b. 1960) are acclaimed for their seemingly absurd juxtapositions
and uncanny photorealism. Reflecting deep suspicions of religious and
political authorities, these constructions serve as sardonic critiques of existing
power structures, forcing the viewer to challenge his or her understanding of
symbols, both iconic and commonplace.
This publication features new works by Cattelan, as well as several of his
large-scale pieces dating from 2003 to 2007, all of which are considered in
the context of the Menil’s remarkable holdings, with a focus on contem-
porary art. To this end, we see how works by artists such as Lucio Fontana,
Robert Morris, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy
Twombly, and Andy Warhol “converse” with Cattelan’s art. With com- Exhibition Schedule:

The Mourners
Tomb Sculpture from the Court of Burgundy
Sophie Jugie
During the late Middle Ages, the dukes of Burgundy––the wealthiest and
most powerful aristocrats in northern Europe––commissioned sculptors of
great renown to decorate their magnificent court in Dijon. Working in a
studio presided over by Claus Sluter, these sculptors created monuments for
the ducal family that rivaled contemporary Italian works.
This stunning book provides an in-depth study of the twin summits of the
achievement of these artists––sculptures from the tombs of Philip the Bold
(1342–1404) and his son, John the Fearless (1371–1419). These extraordi-
nary marble and alabaster tombs serve as platforms for the ducal figures, who
rest atop fully carved arcades. Within the spaces of the arcades, the artists
carved individual monks in procession. Just over two feet high, each monk is
a miniature embodiment of late medieval devotion. Shown in various states Exhibition Schedule:

Radical Invention, 1913–1917
Stephanie D’Alessandro and John Elderfield
A major reassessment of a critical moment in the work
of one of the 20th century’s most important artists
The works that Henri Matisse (1869–1954) executed between late
1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding, experimental, and
enigmatic. Often sharply composed, heavily reworked, and domi-
nated by the colors black and gray, these compositions are rigorously
abstracted and purged of nearly all descriptive detail. Although they
have typically been treated as unrelated to one another, as aberra-
tions within the artist’s oeuvre, or as singular responses to Cubism
or World War I, Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 reveals the
deep connections among them and their critical role in an ambitious,
cohesive project that took the act of creation itself as its main focus.

A comprehensive study of the relationship between Adriana Proser is the John H. Foster
Buddhist pilgrimage and Asian visual culture Curator of Traditional Asian Art at Asia Society
Museum, New York.
According to sacred texts, the historical Buddha encouraged his dis-
ciples to make pilgrimages to sites associated with his life. As sacred
images of the Buddha proliferated over time, it is said that his relics
were divided among 84,000 South Asian sites of Buddhist worship,
or stupas. This abundance of sacred sites in turn rendered pilgrim-
age and worship increasingly prominent influences on Asian culture
and daily life.
Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art employs sacred objects, textiles, sculp-
ture, manuscripts, and paintings to discuss the relationship between
Buddhist pilgrimage and Asia’s artistic production. Accompanying
an exhibition of approximately 90 extraordinary objects, many of
which have never before been displayed publicly, this book addresses
the process of the sacred journey in its entirety, including discus-
sion of pilgrimage motivation, ritual preparation, and worship at the
sacred destination. Exceptional and visually stunning examples of
painted mandalas, reliquaries, prayer wheels, and traveling shrines
demonstrate that pilgrims and pilgrimage inspired centuries of artis-
tic production and shaped the development of visual culture in Asia.
Through insightful essays by a team of scholars, Pilgrimage and
Buddhist Art illuminates artwork’s complex role in Buddhist culture,
in which art serves as a form of memory and a bridge to the spiritual
world as well as a functional tool with temporal purposes.

Metropolitan Museum. Comprising thirty-four paintings, fifty-eight
drawings, a dozen sculptures and ceramics, and more than four
hundred prints, the collection reflects the full breadth of the art-
ist’s multisided genius as it asserted itself over the course of his long
and influential career. Notable for its remarkable constellation of
early figure paintings, which include the commanding At the Lapin
Agile (1905) and the iconic portrait of Gertrude Stein (1906), the
Museum’s collection also stands apart for its exceptional cache of
drawings, which despite their importance and number remain rela-
tively little known.
The key subjects that variously sustained Picasso’s interest—the
pensive harlequins of his Blue and Rose periods, faceted tabletops
of his Cubist years, classicizing bathers and dreaming nudes of the
1920s and 30s, and the rakish musketeers of his maturity—are amply
represented by works ranging in date from a dashing self-portrait in
watercolor of 1900 to the fanciful image he painted of himself as a
faun more than a half-century later.
An overview of the collection’s history; entries on nearly one hundred
works that incorporate the latest technical and documentary find-
ings and furnish a full record of the provenance, exhibition history,
and references for each object; and an essay and illustrated checklist
of the prints are also included in this illuminating and handsomely
illustrated volume.

Introduction by Michel Conan
A timely new strategy for landscape

design in urban environments
Diana Balmori, an innovative and influential landscape architect in
the field of urban design, makes the case for landscape as an art in
her timely and provocative manifesto. This book presents Balmori’s
most complete vision yet of the theory and practice of urban land-
scape design as a discipline that combines the science of ecology
with the formal aspects of aesthetics. Here, Balmori advocates a new
formal language that reflects a philosophical shift in our traditional
understanding of nature, along with “realignments” in how humans
relate to nature and live in our world today, changes that will shape
the livable city of the future.

American Glamour and the Evolution

of Modern Architecture
Alice T. Friedman
The rise of luxury and sophistication in
mid-century modern architecture and design
The sleek lines and gleaming facades of the architecture of the
late 1940s and 1950s reflect a culture fascinated by the promise of
the Jet Age. Buildings like Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal at JFK
Airport and Philip Johnson’s Four Seasons Restaurant retain a thrill-
ing allure, seeming to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
In this work, distinguished architectural historian Alice Friedman
draws on a vast range of sources to argue that the aesthetics of mid-
century modern architecture reflect an increasing fascination with
“glamour,” a term widely used in those years to characterize objects,
people, and experiences as luxurious, expressive, and even magical.
Featuring assessments of architectural examples ranging from Mies Also by Alice T. Friedman:

A shocking new exploration of the photographer as voyeur

Since the rise of the photographic medium in the late 19th century,
people have been fascinated by the camera’s ability to record striking
moments both public and private. From Matthew Brady’s haunt-
ing images of the Civil War to the present day paparazzi’s brand
of voyeurism-for-hire, photography has long served to capture not
only the posed portrait but also the personal, the intimate, the unex-
pected, and the taboo. This fascinating book examines the ways in
which acts of voyeurism and surveillance have inspired, challenged,
and expanded the medium of photography throughout its evolution.

best-sustained promotional operations ever attempted. The posters
commissioned not only encouraged travel on the capital’s burgeon-

1923, inspired by this example, created their own campaigns. This

Mark Bradford is best known for dazzling large-scale abstract collages
that incisively examine class, race, and the gender-based econo-
mies that structure urban society in the United States. A recipient
of a 2009 MacArthur Foundation Award (nicknamed the “genius

area surrounding his studio in Leimert Park, L.A., engaging in an
intricate artistic process that involves both creation and destruction.
His complex, fractured works address pressing political issues and the
media’s influence on contemporary society while cataloguing cul-
tural change and the artist’s personal responses to societal conditions.

Nui
Embroidery from a Sheltered Community
Joe Earle
Shobu Gakuen, a rehabilitation facility established in 1973 in southwest
Japan, has had a long tradition of providing a venue for adults with devel-
opmental difficulties to make crafts. The goal of this pioneering and highly
successful facility was to empower its residents to become active and pro-
ductive individuals within their communities. In 1985, Kobo (Studio)
Shobu was created to emphasize the production style of each person in the
facility and is now receiving international attention, especially for the Nui
(Stitching) Project.
This is the first English-language publication to feature works by extraor-
dinary Nui artists. Reproducing some 50 works that represent a spectrum
of embroidery forms, from simple stitching to French knots, this handsome Sachie Takada (b. 1976)

Katsura—Picturing Modernism
in Japanese Architecture
Photographs by Ishimoto Yasuhiro
Yasufumi Nakamori
Originally published by Yale University Press in 1960, Katsura: Tradition
and Creation of Japanese Architecture is the most significant photographic
publication about the relationship of modernity and tradition in postwar
Japan. Designed by famed Bauhaus graphic artist Herbert Bayer, Katsura
comprises 135 black-and-white photographs by Ishimoto Yasuhiro depicting
the 17th-century Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto, with essays by architects
Walter Gropius and Tange Kenzo. This new publication argues that Tange,
motivated by a desire to transform the architectural images into abstract
fragments, played a major role in cropping and sequencing Ishimoto’s pho-
tographs for the book. The author provides a fresh and critical look at the

Picasso Looks at Degas

Elizabeth Cowling and Richard Kendall;
With contributions by Cécile Godefroy,
Sarah Lees, and Montse Torras
The great Spanish painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
exhibited a lifelong fascination—some might say “obsession”—with
the work and personality of French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917).
In this groundbreaking study, noted Degas scholar Richard Kendall
and Picasso expert Elizabeth Cowling present well-documented
instances of Picasso’s direct responses to Degas’s work, as well as
more conceptual and challenging affinities between their oeuvres.
Richly illustrated essays explore the artists’ parallel interests in mod-
ern urban life, ballet dancers, activities such as bathing and combing
the hair, photography, and the challenges of sculpture. The book
also provides the first extended analysis of Picasso’s engagement with
Degas’s art in his final years, when he acquired several of the French
artist’s brothel monotypes and reworked some of them in his own
prints. Offering many fresh ideas and a significant amount of new Exhibition Schedule:

The Genius of Andrea Mantegna
Keith Christiansen
Few artists have managed to imprint their personality so indelibly on pos-
terity as Andrea Mantegna (c. 1430–1506). Before he reached the age of
twenty, Mantegna was already being praised for his alto ingegno (exalted
genius), and he became the court artist for the Gonzaga family in Mantua
before he was thirty. Yet, this book argues, Mantegna was not simply a great
painter. Together with Donatello, he was the defining genius of the 15th
century: the measure of what an artist could be. His highly original and
deeply personal vision, the descriptive richness of his pictures, and his biting,
hypercritical but always exalted mind gave Mantegna’s art an extraordinary
edge and earned him a preeminent place in the Renaissance.

Time Out of Joint

Recall and Evocation in Recent Art
Edited by Luigi Fassi, Lucy Gallun, and Jakob Schillinger
This engaging publication explores the artistic practices that employ evoca-
tion—the calling forth of past emotions, desires, frustrations, and memories
into the present—as a mode of connecting past and present. Featuring the
work of emerging artists working in a variety of media, including Ronnie
Bass, Kajsa Dahlberg, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen,
Fikret Atay, Katerina Seda, Maryam Jafri, and Johanna Billing, as well as
films by Keren Cytter, Kevin Willmott, and Jennifer Phang, the book chal-
lenges the conventional approach to history whereby the past is kept at a
distance as historical fact. Ranging from playful to haunting, the artworks
presented here rupture conventional notions of time to alter the dynamic of
the present moment and enhance the possibilities for radical change on both
a personal and sociopolitical scale. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of

Pointon argues that what is materially precious is invariably con-

from hard-won imported materials, the stakes become particu-
larly high—evidenced, for example, by the political fallout from
Marie-Antoinette’s implication in the affair of the stolen diamond

Ruskin on Venice represented John Ruskin’s ideal of civic society—“The
Venice Paradise of Cities,” where culture, government, and faith existed
“The Paradise in creative harmony. In this elegant and compelling book, Robert
of Cities” Hewison traces Ruskin’s long and intricate relationship with the
Robert Hewison city. He shows how Ruskin shed his earlier Romantic vision of
the city and developed a harder, clearer conception of neglected
Gothic Venice through an intense study of the city’s physical fabric
that would change the international understanding of the city.
Drawing on the rich resources of Ruskin’s drawings, architectural
notebooks, and manuscripts (including previously unpublished
daguerreotypes from Ruskin’s own collection), Hewison offers
fresh insights into both Ruskin and nineteenth-century Venice and
reveals how Ruskin’s work and his connection with the city from
youth to old age have helped to shape the image of the Venice we
know today.

John Singer Sargent’s “Triumph of

Creation and Restoration
Edited by Narayan Khandekar, Gianfranco
Pocobene, and Kate Smith
John Singer Sargent’s Triumph of Religion at the Boston Public Library, con-
sidered to be the artist’s masterpiece, is one of the most ambitious mural
cycles in the history of American art. This book, comprehensively illustrated,
examines and documents Sargent Hall as an art installation (constructed
between 1890 and 1919) and describes its restoration history, culminating in
the authors’ 2003–4 restoration.
Sargent (1856–1925) painted the murals on canvas and enhanced their
surfaces with relief materials such as plaster, papier mâché, metalwork, sten-
cils and patterned cut-outs, “jewels” made of glass, and Lincrusta-Walton, Distributed for the Harvard Art Museum

The Intelligence of Tradition
in Rajput Court Painting
Molly Emma Aitken
The genre of Rajput painting flourished between the 16th and 19th cen-
turies in the kingdoms that ruled what is now the Indian state of Rajasthan
(place of rajas). Rajput paintings depicted the nobility and court spectacle as
well as scenes from Krishna’s life, the Hindu epics, and court poetry. Many
Rajput kingdoms developed distinct styles, though they shared common
conventions. This important book surveys the overall tradition of Indian
Rajput painting, while developing new methods to ask unprecedented ques-
tions about meaning.
Through a series of in-depth studies, Aitken shows how traditional formal
devices served as vital components of narrative meaning, expressions of social
unity, and rich sources of intellectual play. Supported by beautiful full-color “Highly important. A transformative study

Byzantine art abandoned classical ideals in favor of formulas that conveyed
spiritual concepts through stylized physical forms. Scholarship dealing with

Cochineal Red
The Art History of a Color
Elena Phipps
From antiquity to the present day, color has been embedded with cultural
meaning. Associated with blood, fire, fertility, and life force, the color red
has always been extremely difficult to achieve and thus highly prized. This
book discusses the origin of the red colorant derived from the insect cochi-
neal, its early use in Precolumbian ritual textiles from Mexico and Peru, and
the spread of the American dyestuff through cultural interchange following
the Spanish discovery and conquest of the New World in the 16th century.
Drawing on examples from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, it
documents the use of this red-colored treasure in several media and through-
out the world.

With a preface by Charles Ryskamp
This lavishly illustrated book considers Romanticism as a truly international
phenomenon by bringing together for the first time nearly two hundred
British, French, German, Danish, and Dutch drawings from the outstanding
collection of Charles Ryskamp. Taking its cue from David Wilkie’s appeal in
1824 “to show that the arts are cosmopolitan and that all national prejudice
is foreign to them,” the book demonstrates the diversity inherent in the phe-
nomenon called Romanticism; it also highlights the common concerns and
approaches shared by British and Continental artists. Alongside important
British works by artists such as J.M.W. Turner, Cornelius Varley, William
Blake, and Henry Fuseli, the book also includes drawings by key Continental Exhibition Schedule:
artists including Caspar David Friedrich, Camille Corot, Eugène Delacroix, Yale Center for British Art

Art of Edo Japan

The Artist and the City 1615–1868
Christine Guth
This beautifully illustrated survey examines the art and artists of the Edo
period, one of the great epochs in Japanese art. Together with the impe-
rial city of Kyoto and the port cities of Osaka and Nagasaki, the splendid
capital city of Edo (now Tokyo) nurtured a magnificent tradition of painting,
calligraphy, printmaking, ceramics, architecture, textile work, and lacquer.
As each city created its own distinctive social, political, and economic envi-
ronment, its art acquired a unique flavor and aesthetic. Author Christine
Guth focuses on the urban aspects of Edo art, including discussions of many
of Japan’s most popular artists—Korin, Utamaro, and Hiroshige, among
others—as well as those that are lesser known, and provides a fascinating
look at the cities in which they worked.

An Imperial Silver Service Rediscovered
Wolfram Koeppe
Eighteenth-century European court society was famous for its lavish ban-
quets featuring elaborate settings and protocols designed to indicate the
status of both host and guests. Integral to these events were extravagant din-
ing services of silver and gold, many of which were subsequently melted
down to finance the frequent wars of the period. This book presents a rare
surviving imperial service, made from about 1779 to 1782 for Duke Albert
of Sachsen-Teschen by Austrian master Ignaz Joseph Würth. The so-called
Second Sachsen-Teschen Service comprised hundreds of items, including
wine coolers, tureens, cloches, sauceboats, candelabra, candlesticks, and
serving implements, as well as twenty-four dozen silver plates and porcelain-
mounted silver and silver-gilt cutlery.

Light of the Sufis
The Mystical Arts of Islam
Ladan Akbarnia and Francesca Leoni
Light of the Sufis introduces the complex and multilayered topic of Sufism,
or Islamic mysticism, by concentrating on its expression in the visual arts
and offers new insights into the integrative and fluid nature of the Sufi expe-
rience that has solicited strong reactions—both negative and positive—in
Muslims and non-Muslims alike for several hundred years.
Sufism became well established in the 9th to 10th century and reached
its height in the 12th to 13th century. From its inception, Sufism recog-
nized the traditions and practices of other faiths and cultures with which
it came into contact, adapting and incorporating elements of Greek phi-
losophies, Christian mysticism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, and
Buddhism. This diversity has been reflected not only in the words and the
lives of celebrated Sufi mystics but also in some of the finest literature, music, Exhibition Schedule:

Seeing Sex in dressing area of the home, the window and doorway, the bath, and
Renaissance Art the street. By examining both canonical works, such as Jan van
Diane Wolfthal Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait and Petrus Christus’ Goldsmith’s Shop
and long-neglected objects, such as combs, badges, and bathhouse
murals, and by investigating a wide range of sexualities—same-sex
desire, adultery, marriage, courtship, and prostitution—Wolfthal
demonstrates how illicit forms of sexuality were linked to the
“chaste sexuality” of marriage.

Galleries of Friendship and Fame
A History of Nineteenth-Century
American Photograph Albums
Elizabeth Siegel
Galleries of Friendship and Fame is the first comprehensive investigation of
the origin, development, and practices of 19th-century American photograph
albums. In this fascinating book, the author argues that the album—whether
functioning as family record, parlor entertainment, social register, national
portrait gallery, or advertisement for photography itself—helped transform
the nature of self-presentation at the cusp of modernity.
This handsome volume examines carte de visite and cabinet card albums
from their introduction in the United States in 1861 through the rise of the
snapshot at the century’s end. By examining a wealth of previously overlooked

Roman Frescoes from Boscoreale

The Villa of P. Fannius Synistor in Reality and Virtual Reality
Bettina Bergmann, Stefano De Caro,
Joan R. Mertens, and Rudolf Meyer
When Mount Vesuvius erupted in a.d. 79, burying much of the region
around the Bay of Naples in lava, one of the extraordinary Roman villas
thereby preserved was that of P. Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale. Its discovery
in 1899 revealed breathtaking wall paintings that were dispersed in 1903,
with major portions acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The
cleaning and reinstallation of these masterpieces has occasioned the creation
of a virtual model that for the first time has allowed the authors to situate the
surviving frescoes from the villa in their original relation to each other.

A Laboratory for Art
Harvard’s Fogg Museum and the Emergence
of Conservation in America, 1900–1950
Francesca G. Bewer
Harvard’s Fogg Museum was the first American museum with a scientifically
based conservation and research department. During a period of immense
growth of collections in the United States, director Edward W. Forbes and
associate director Paul J. Sachs developed the Fogg into a vital training ground
for a new breed of museum professionals attuned to the materials of art and
the effects of environment. A Laboratory for Art is the first book to explore the
crucial role the Fogg played in the evolution of conservation in the US and
abroad. It traces the efforts of staff and students who developed protocols for
the treatment and documentation of works—sometimes through trial and
error; disseminated research findings by establishing professional forums and
a seminal journal; set standards for contemporary artists’ materials during the Edward W. Forbes, the director of the Fogg Museum, in 1944
New Deal; and led the Allied drive to protect monuments and works of art Distributed for the Harvard Art Museum
during World War II. Alumni of the Fogg went on to leadership positions in
museums and conservation laboratories across America.
