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.

The names Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Bryan Massery may not be well known, but the image of them from September 1957 surely is: a black high school girl, dressed in white, walking stoically in front of Little Rock Central High School, and a white girl standing directly behind her, face twisted in hate, screaming racial epithets.

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.

Mary I

Englands Catholic Queen

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.

The Story of a Female Messiah and Her Followers Jane Shaw

The little-known story of the charismatic, utopian leader Octavia and her devoted followers in the interwar years
In 1919, in the wake of the upheaval of World War I, a remarkable group of English women came up with their own solution to the worlds grief: a new religion. At the heart of the Panacea Society was a charismatic and autocratic leader, a vicars widow named Mabel Barltrop. Her followers called her octavia, and they believed that she was the daughter of God, sent to build the New Jerusalem in Bedford. When the last living members of the Panacea Society revealed to historian Jane Shaw their immense and painstakingly preserved archives, she began to reconstruct the story of a close-knit utopian community that grew to include seventy residents, thousands of followers, and an international healing ministry reaching 130,000 people. Shaw offers a detailed portrait of octavia and describes the faith of her devoted followers who believed they would never die. vividly told, by turns funny and tragic, Octavia, Daughter of God is about a moment at the advent of modernity, when a generation of newly empowered women tried to remake Christianity in their own image, offering a fascinating window onto the anxieties and hopes of the interwar years.

FroM the introDuction:

The largest aesthetic paradox of the kJB is its gorgeous exfoliation of the Hebrew original. Evidently the kJB men knew just enough Hebrew to catch the words but not the original music. Their relative ignorance transmuted into splendor because they shared a sense of literary decorum that all subsequent translators seem to lack. Miles Coverdale, bare both of Hebrew and of Greek, set a pattern that Miles Smith perfected. It is another of the many paradoxes of the kJB that its elaborate prose harmonies essentially were inaugurated by Coverdales intuitive journey into the poems and prophecies his master Tyndale did not live to translate. We have Tyndales Jonah and a medley of prophetic passages, eleven from Isaiah, in the Epistle Taken out of the Old Testament. How wonderful it would be to have Job, Ecclesiastes, and Jeremiah from the hand of Tyndale, though probably that would have prevented Coverdales astonishing flair for style and rhythm from manifesting itself. This flair was unsteady, yet at its best it gave us something of the sonority we associate with kJB. Tyndale, Coverdale, and the Geneva translators (including their best Hebraist, Gilby) all possessed the gift of literary authority. Their revisionist, Miles Smith, explicitly displays his sense of style in the 1611 preface, The Translators to the Reader, and implicitly stands forth by his editorial responsibility for the ways in which the kJB men handle their inheritance from previous English Bibles. Again paradox intervenes: from Tyndale through kJB the quest is to get closer to the literal sense of the Hebrew, while the consequence is to increase a cognitive music farther and farther away in regard to the Hebrew Bibles relative freedom from metaphors. Since all metaphor is a kind of mistake anyway, even the plain errors of the kJB sometimes add to the resultant splendor.

Harold Bloom

A Literary Appreciation of the king James Bible

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.

John Polkinghorne, an international figure known both for his contributions to the field of theoretical elementary particle physics and for his work as a theologian, has over the years filled a bookshelf with writings devoted to specific topics in science and religion. In this new book, he undertakes for the first time a survey of all the major issues at the intersection of science and religion, concentrating on what he considers the essential insights for each. Clearly and without assuming prior knowledge, he addresses causality, cosmology, evolution, consciousness, natural theology, divine providence, revelation, and scripture. Each chapter also provides references to his other books in which more detailed treatments of specific issues can be found. For those who are new to what Polkinghorne calls one of the most significant interdisciplinary interactions of our time, this volume serves as an excellent introduction. For readers already familiar with John Polkinghornes books, this latest is a welcome reminder of the breadth of his thought and the subtlety of his approach in the quest for truthful understanding.

But of this she is certain: our relationships with, and attitudes toward, animals are really worth thinking about. In What I Dont Know About Animals, she shows why. Diski sets out on her wide-ranging investigation by remembering the stuffed cuddly creatures from her childhood, the animal books she read, the cartoons she watched, the strays she found. She considers the animals who have lived and still live with her (most especially Bunty the cat), animals she has encountered close up, and those she has feared. She examines human beings, too, and how they have looked at, studied, treated, and written about the non-human creatures Subtle, intelligent and of our shared planet. Ranging still further, the author engaging.Over the Counter interviews scientists, discusses Derrida and his cat, and observes elephants in kenya, always seeking the key to the complex relationship we in the modern West have with animals. Subtle, intelligent, and always engaging, this book is a brilliant exploration of what it means to be human and what it means to be animal, and the uncertainty of what we can know about either.

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.

The Rise of Western Military Power John France

A major new history of war that challenges our understanding of military dominance and how it is achieved
This expansive book surveys the history of warfare from ancient Mesopotamia to the Gulf War in search of a deeper understanding of the origins of Western warfare and the reasons for its eminence today. Historian John France explores the experience of war around the globe, in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. His bold conclusions cast doubt on well-entrenched attitudes about the development of military strength, the impact of culture on warfare, the future of Western dominance, and much more. Taking into account wars waged by virtually all civilizations since the beginning of recorded history, France finds that despite enormous cultural differences, war was conducted in distinctly similar ways right up to the Military Revolution and the pursuit of technological warfare in the nineteenth century. Since then, An ambitious book, written with vigour European and American culture has shaped warfare, and assertiveness.Hew Strachan, but only because we have achieved a sense of distance author of The First World War from it, France argues. He warns that the present eminence of U.S. power is much more precarious and accidental than commonly believed. The notion that war is a distant phenomenon is only an illusion, and our cultural attitudes must change accordingly.

Revolution as a Way of Life

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.

The Myth of Choice

kent Greenfield

Personal Responsibility in a World of Limits

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.

A conversAtion nigel wArburton

with

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.

Nigel Warburton
For readers of E. H. Gombrichs A Little History of the World, an equally irresistible volume that brings historys greatest philosophers to life
Philosophy begins with questions about the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood. This engaging book introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the world and how best to live in it. In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy. He provides interesting and often quirky stories of the lives and deaths of thought-provoking philosophers from Socrates, who chose to die by hemlock poisoning rather than live on without the freedom to think for himself, to Peter Singer, who asks the disquieting philosophical and ethical questions that haunt our own times. Warburton not only makes philosophy accessible, he offers inspiration to think, argue, reason, and ask in the tradition of Socrates. A Little History of Philosophy presents the grand sweep of humanitys search for philosophical understanding and invites all to join in the discussion.

Why Trilling Matters

Adam kirsch
The distinguished poet and critic argues for the abiding relevance of a great literary mind of the twentieth century
Lionel Trilling, regarded at the time of his death in 1975 as Americas preeminent literary critic, is today often seen as a relic of a vanished era. His was an age when literary criticism and ideas seemed to matter profoundly in the intellectual life of the country. In this eloquent book, Adam kirsch shows that Trilling, far from being obsolete, is essential to understanding our current crisis of literary confidenceand to overcoming it. By reading Trilling primarily as a writer and thinker, kirsch demonstrates how Trillings original and moving work continues to provide an inspiring example of a mind creating itself through its encounters with texts. Why Trilling Matters introduces all of Trillings major writings and situates him in the intellectual landscape of his century, from Communism in the 1930s to neoconservatism in the 1970s. But kirsch goes deeper, This is a masterful book by a carefully addressing todays concerns about the decline of litera- attentive critic in close touch with his ture, reading, and even the book itself, and finds that subject. kirsch stresses the dialectical, Trilling has more to teach us now than ever before.

Of all the men who have served the Catholic Church as pope, who were the ten most influential?
Catholic popes have been powerful spiritual leaders for nearly two millennia, but their influence is not confined exclusively to Church matters. Many popes have played a central role in the history of Europe and the wider world, not only shouldering the spiritual burdens of their office but also contending with the political crises of their times.

With this book, readers may now also enjoy Duffys portraits of ten exceptional men who shook the world. The book begins with St. Peter, the Rock upon whom the Catholic Church was built, and follows with Leo the Great (fifth century), Gregory the Great (sixth century), Gregory vII (eleventh century), Innocent III (thirteenth century), Paul III (sixteenth century), and Pius IX (nineteenth century). Among twentieth-century popes, Duffy examines the lives and contributions of Pius XII, who was elected on the eve of the Second World War, the kindly John XXIII, who captured the worlds imagination, and John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in 450 years. Each of these ten, Duffy shows, was an extraordinary individual who helped shape the world we know today.

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.

He was an effective military strategist and an adept diplomat, who staked the fate of the Bolshevik revolution on the meager foundation of a Europe-wide Communist upheaval. He was a master politician who played his cards badly in the momentous struggle for power against Stalin in the 1920s.

Between Hope and Despair, 19632011

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.

Illustrated Edition E. H. Gombrich
A glorious illustrated edition of the international bestseller
E. H. Gombrichs Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his minds eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrationsmost of them in full colorare not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the authors intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.

Rome and Rhetoric

Garry Wills

Shakespeares Julius Caesar

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.

Why Niebuhr Matters

Charles Lemert
A leading social theorist analyzes how and why Niebuhrs revival has taken place, ultimately arguing for his political and moral relevance today
Reinhold Niebuhr (18921971) was a Protestant preacher, an influential religious thinker, and an important moral guide in mid-twentieth-century America. But what does he have to say to us now? In what way does he inform the thinking of political leaders and commentators from Barack obama and Madeleine Albright to David Brooks and Walter Russell Mead, all of whom acknowledge his influence? In this lively overview of Niebuhrs career, Charles Lemert analyzes why interest in Niebuhr is rising and how Niebuhr provides the answers we ache for in the face of seismic shifts in the global order. In the middle of the twentieth century, having outgrown a theological liberalism, Niebuhr challenged and rethought the nonsocialist Left in American politics. He developed a political realism that refused to sacrifice ideals to mere pragmatism, or politics to bitterness and greed. He examined the problem of morality in an immoral society and reimagined the balance between rights and freedom for the individual and social justice for the many. With brevity and deep insight, Lemert shows how Niebuhrs ideas illuminate our most difficult questions today.

The Artist and the Warrior

From Assyria to Guernica Theodore k. Rabb
An illustrated exploration of artists depictions of war and warriors, from antiquity to modern times
How have artists across the millennia responded to warfare? In this uniquely wide-ranging book, Theodore Rabb blends military history and the history of art to search for the answers. He draws our attention to masterpieces from the ancient world to the twentieth centurypaintings, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, engravings, architecture, and photographsand documents the evolving nature of warfare as artists have perceived it. The selected works represent landmarks in the history of art and are drawn mainly from the western tradition, though important examples from Japan, India, and the Middle East are also brought into the discussion. Together these works tell a story of long centuries during which warfare inspired admiration and celebration. yet a shift toward criticism and condemnation emerged in the Renaissance, and by the end of the nineteenth century, glorification of the warrior by leading artists had ceased. Rabb traces this progression, from such works as the Column of Trajan and the Titian Battle of Lepanto, whose makers celebrated glorious victories, to the antiwar depictions created by Brueghel, Goya, Picasso, and others. Fully illustrated and accessibly written, this book presents a study of unprecedented sweep and multidisciplinary interest.

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.

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.

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. Understanding their abusers motivations is crucial to them; they take a listener right to the topic and to how they have internalized the abusers motivations. They need to be cured of their internalizations as much as they need to be helped with external conditions that disrupt their growth and development. 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.

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.

The Rituals, Pleasures, and Politics of Cooperation Richard Sennett

In this sequel to his influential work The Craftsman, Richard Sennett explores how we can learn to cooperate in the intensely tribal, competitive, and self-interested cultures we inhabit
Living with people who differracially, ethnically, religiously, or economicallyis the most urgent challenge facing civil society today. We tend socially to avoid engaging with people unlike ourselves, and modern politics encourages the politics of the tribe rather than of the city. In this thought-provoking book, Richard Sennett discusses why this has happened and what might be done about it. Sennett contends that cooperation is a craft, and the foundations for skillful cooperation lie in learning to listen well and discuss rather than debate. In Together he explores how people can cooperate online, on street corners, in schools, at work, and in local politics. He traces the evolution of cooperative rituals from medieval times to today, and in situations as diverse as slave communities, socialist groups in Paris, and workers on Wall Street. Divided into three parts, the book addresses the nature of cooperation, why it has become weak, and how it could be strengthened. The author warns that we must learn the craft of cooperation if we are to make our complex society prosper, yet he reassures us that we can do this, for the capacity for cooperation is embedded in human nature.

yves Bonnefoy
Translated by Hoyt Rogers

New Poetry and Prose, 19912011

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.

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.

Henry Miller and the Making of Tropic of Cancer Frederick Turner

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.

The Golden Ass

Apuleius
Translated by Sarah Ruden

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.

With the publication of this workshop edition of Ida, we have the novel exactly as it was published in 1941, and we also have the full record of its creation. Logan Esdale offers informative critical commentary and judiciously selected archival materials to illuminate Steins experience of authorship from the novels beginning in early summer 1937, through the various drafts and negotiations with her publisher, to the reviews that greeted the books publication. Steins careful and systematic preservation of all Ida-related materials for her archive at the yale University Library was a conscious decision, and an invitation for us to study the complexity of her creative process.

The Corrected Edition Gertrude Stein

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

Hidden Birds of China Alan Feduccia

Riddle of the Feathered Dragons

Examining and interpreting recent spectacular fossil discoveries in China, paleontologists have arrived at a prevailing view: there is now incontrovertible evidence that birds represent the last living dinosaur. But is this conclusion beyond dispute? In this book, evolutionary biologist Alan Feduccia provides the most comprehensive discussion yet of the avian and associated evidence found in China, then exposes the massive, unfounded speculation that has accompanied these discoveries and been published in the pages of prestigious scientific journals. Advocates of the current orthodoxy on bird origins have ignored contrary data, misinterpreted fossils, and used faulty reasoning, the author argues. He considers why and how the debate has become so polemical and makes a plea to refocus the discussion by breaking away from methodological straitjackets and viewing the world of origins anew. Drawing on a lifetime of study, he offers his own current understanding of the origin of birds and avian flight.

This is an account of industrialized killing from a participants point of view. The author, political scientist Timothy Pachirat, was employed undercover for five months in a Great Plains slaughterhouse where 2,500 cattle were killed per dayone every twelve seconds. Working in the cooler as a liver hanger, in the chutes as a cattle driver, and on the kill floor as a food-safety quality-control worker, Pachirat experienced firsthand the realities of the work of killing in modern society. He uses those experiences to explore not only the slaughter industry but also how, as a society, we facilitate violent labor and hide away that which is too repugnant to contemplate. Through his vivid narrative and ethnographic approach, Pachirat brings to life massive, routine killing from the perspective of those who take part in it. He shows how surveillance and sequestration operate within the slaughterhouse and in its interactions with the community at large. He also considers how society is organized to distance and hide uncomfortable realities from view. With much to say about issues ranging from the sociology of violence and modern food production to animal rights and welfare, Every Twelve Seconds is an important and disturbing work.

Simplifying Principles for a Complex World Alain Berthoz

Translated by Giselle Weiss
In this book a noted physiologist and neuroscientist introduces the concept of simplexity, the set of solutions living organisms find that enable them to deal with information and situations, while taking into account past experiences and anticipating future ones. Such solutions are new ways of addressing problems so that actions may be taken more quickly, more elegantly, and more efficiently. In a sense, the history of living organisms may be summed up by their remarkable ability to find solutions that avoid the worlds complexity by imposing on it their own rules and functions. Evolution has resolved the problem of complexity not by simplifying but by finding solutions whose processesthough they can sometimes be complexallow us to act in the midst of complexity and of uncertainty. Nature can inspire us by making us realize that simplification is never simple and requires instead that we choose, refuse, connect, and imagine, in order to act in the best possible manner. Such solutions are already being applied in design and engineering and are significant in biology, medicine, economics, and the behavioral sciences.

The Rise and Fall of a Renaissance Prophet Donald Weinstein

Girolamo Savonarola, the fifteenth-century doom-saying friar, embraced the revolution of the Florentine republic and prophesied that it would become the center of a New Age of Christian renewal and world domination. This new biography, the culmination of many decades of study, presents an original interpretation of Savonarolas prophetic career and a highly nuanced assessment of his vision and motivations. Weinstein sorts out the multiple strands that connect Savonarola to his time and place, following him from his youthful rejection of a world he regarded as corrupt, to his engagement with that world to save it from itself, to his shattering confessionan admission that he had invented his prophesies and faked his visions. Was his confession sincere? A forgery circulated by his inquisitors? or an attempt to escape bone-breaking torture? Weinstein offers a highly innovative analysis of the testimony to provide the first truly satisfying account of Savonarola and his fate as a failed prophet.

The Romans and Their World

A Short Introduction Brian Campbell
This one-volume history of the Roman world begins with the early years of the republic and carries the story nearly a thousand years forward to 476, when Romulus Augustus, the last Western Roman emperor, was deposed. Brian Campbell, respected scholar and teacher, presents a fascinating and wide-ranging introduction to Rome, drawing on an array of ancient sources and covering topics of interest to readers with little prior background in Roman history as well as those already familiar with the great civilization. Campbell explores several themes, including the fall of the republic, the impact of colorful and diverse emperors on imperial politics, the administrative structure of empire, and the Roman army and how warfare affected the Roman world. He also surveys cultural and social life, including religion and the rise of Christianity. Generously enhanced with maps and illustrations, this book is a rich and inspiring account of a mighty civilization and the citizens who made it so.

A History of East London John Marriott

From Jewish clothing merchants to Bangladeshi curry houses, ancient docks to the 2012 olympics, the area east of the City has always played a crucial role in Londons history. The East End, as it has been known, was the home to Shakespeares first theater and to the early stirrings of a mass labor movement; it has also traditionally been seen as a place of darkness and despair, where Jack the Ripper committed his gruesome murders, and cholera and poverty stalked the victorian streets. In this beautifully illustrated history of this iconic district, John Marriott draws on twenty-five years of research into the subject to present an authoritative and endlessly fascinating account. With the aid of copious maps, archive prints and photographs, and the words of East Londoners from seventeenth-century silk weavers to Cockneys during the Blitz, he explores the relationship between the East End and the rest of London, and challenges many of the myths that surround the area.

War and the British Isles, 14851746 Charles Carlton

Shakespeare was not exaggerating when he defined being a soldier as one of the seven ages of man. over the early modern period, many millions of young men from the four corners of the present United kingdom went to war, oftenand most bloodilyagainst each other. The almost continuous fighting on land and sea for the two and one-half centuries between Bosworth and Culloden decimated lives, but created the British state and forged the nation as the worlds predominant power. In this innovative and moving book, Charles Carlton explores the glorious and terrible impact of war at the national and individual levels. Chapters alternate, providing a robust military and political narrative interlaced with accounts illuminating the personal experience of war, from recruitment to the end of battle in discharge or death. Carlton expertly charts the remarkable military developments over the period, as well as wars enduring corollariescamaraderie, courage, fear, and griefto give a powerful account of the profound effect of war on the British Isles and its peoples.

A Scrivener, His City and the Plague keith Wrightson

The plague outbreak of 1636 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was one of the most devastating in English history. This hugely moving study looks in detail at its impact on the city through the eyes of a man who stayed as others fled: the scrivener Ralph Tailor. As a scrivener Tailor was responsible for many of the wills and inventories of his fellow citizens. By listening to and writing down the final wishes of the dying, the young scrivener often became the principal provider of comfort in peoples last hours. Drawing on the rich records left by Tailor during the course of his work along with many other sources, keith Wrightson vividly reconstructs life in the early modern city during a time of crisis and envisions what such a calamitous decimation of the population must have meant for personal, familial, and social relations.

In the century between the accession of Elizabeth I and the restoration of Charles II, a horticultural revolution took place in England, making it a leading player in the European horticultural game. Ideas were exchanged across networks of gardeners, botanists, scholars, and courtiers, and the burgeoning vernacular book trade spread this new knowledge still furtherreaching even the growing number of gardeners furnishing their more modest plots across the verdant nation and its young colonies in the Americas. Margaret Willes introduces a plethora of garden enthusiasts, from the renowned to the legions of anonymous workers who created and tended the great estates.

An Experiential History of the Twentieth Century Thomas A. kohut

Germans of the generation born just before the outbreak of World War I lived through a tumultuous and dramatic century. This book tells the story of their lives and, in so doing, offers a new history of twentieth-century Germany, as experienced and made by ordinary human beings. on the basis of sixty-two oral-history interviews, this book shows how this generation was shaped psychologically by a series of historically engendered losses over the course of the century. In response, this generation turned to the collective to repair the losses it had suffered, most fatefully to the community of the volk during the Third Reich, a racial collective to which this generation was passionately committed and which was at the heart of National Socialism and its popular appeal.

William Monter
In this lively and pathbreaking book, William Monter sketches Europes increasing acceptance of autonomous female rulers between the late Middle Ages and the French Revolution. Monter surveys the governmental records of Europes thirty women monarchsthe famous (Mary Stuart, Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great) as well as the obscure (Charlotte of Cyprus, Isabel Clara Eugenia of the Netherlands)describing how each of them achieved sovereign authority, wielded it, and (more often than men) abandoned it. Monter argues that Europes female kings, who ruled by divine right, experienced no significant political opposition despite their gender.

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.

The Music Libel Against the Jews

Ruth HaCohen
This deeply imaginative and wide-ranging book shows how, since the first centuries of the Christian era, gentiles have associated Jews with noise. Ruth HaCohen focuses her study on a musical libela variation on the Passion story that recurs in various forms and cultures in which an innocent Christian boy is killed by a Jew in order to silence his harmonious musicality. In paying close attention to how and where this libel surfaces, HaCohen covers a wide swath of western cultural history, showing how entrenched aesthetic-theological assumptions have persistently defined European culture and its internal moral and political orientations. Ruth HaCohen combines in her comprehensive analysis the perspectives of musicology, literary criticism, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology, tracing the tensions between Jewish noise and idealized Christian harmony and their artistic manifestations from the high Middle Ages through Nazi Germany and beyond. She concludes her book with a passionate and moving argument for humanizing contemporary soundspaces.

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.

The Stalin Cult

A Study in the Alchemy of Power Jan Plamper

Between the late 1920s and the early 1950s, one of the most persuasive personality cults of all times saturated Soviet public space with images of Stalin. A torrent of portraits, posters, statues, films, plays, songs, and poems galvanized the Soviet population and inspired leftist activists around the world. In the first book to examine the cultural products and production methods of the Stalin cult, Jan Plamper reconstructs a hidden history linking artists, party patrons, state functionaries, and ultimately Stalin himself in the alchemical project that transformed a pock-marked Georgian into the embodiment of global communism. Departing from interpretations of the Stalin cult as an outgrowth of Russian mysticism or Stalins psychopathology, Plamper establishes the cults context within a broader international history of modern personality cults constructed around Napoleon III, Mussolini, Hitler, and Mao. Drawing upon evidence from previously inaccessible Russian archives, Plampers lavishly illustrated and accessibly written study will appeal to anyone interested in twentieth-century history, visual studies, the politics of representation, dictator biography, socialist realism, and real socialism.

Petersburg Fin de Sicle

Mark D. Steinberg
The final decade of the old order in imperial Russia was a time of both crisis and possibility, an uncertain time that inspired an often desperate search for meaning. This book explores how journalists and other writers in St. Petersburg described and interpreted the troubled years between the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917. Mark Steinberg, distinguished historian of Russia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, examines the work of writers of all kinds, from anonymous journalists to well-known public intellectuals, from secular liberals to religious conservatives. Though diverse in their perspectives, these urban writers were remarkably consistent in the worries they expressed. They grappled with the impact of technological and material progress on the one hand, and with an ever-deepening anxiety and pessimism on the other. Steinberg reveals a new, darker perspective on the history of St. Petersburg on the eve of revolution and presents a fresh view of Russias experience of modernity.

The Conversion of Scandinavia

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.

The Spirit of Mary

Sarah Jane Boss
Said to be next to Christ, yet closest to us, the virgin Mary has been and remains a major figure in world religion. Mary, who carried the Word of God in her very body, is a potent symbol for Christians: by conforming their souls to her likeness, they invite Christ to live within them spiritually. As such, Marys spirit has pervaded, and partly constituted, the spirit of Christianity itself. Contextualizing a selection of writings that illustrate Marys role in the Christian tradition, Sarah Jane Bossa leading authority on Maryshows how the Marian cult, doctrines, and devotion have developed over the centuries, from widely differing cultural backgrounds and from both Eastern and Western churches. Together with Bosss enlightening and incisive introductions to the texts, this book is a colorful and engaging introduction to the meaning of Mary.

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.

John Wallace and Alexander McGrattan

In the first major book devoted to the trumpet in more than two decades, John Wallace and Alexander McGrattan trace the surprising evolution and colorful performance history of one of the worlds oldest instruments. They chart the introduction of the trumpet and its family into art music, and its rise to prominence as a solo instrument, from the Baroque golden age, through the advent of valved brass instruments in the nineteenth century, and the trumpets renaissance in the jazz age. The authors offer abundant insights into the trumpets repertoire, with detailed analyses of works by Haydn, Handel, and Bach, and fresh material on the importance of jazz and influential jazz trumpeters for the reemergence of the trumpet as a solo instrument in classical music today. Wallace and McGrattan draw on deep research, lifetimes of experience in performing and teaching the trumpet in its various forms, and numerous interviews to illuminate the trumpets history, music, and players. Copiously illustrated with photographs, facsimiles, and music examples throughout, The Trumpet will enlighten and fascinate all performers and enthusiasts.

Democracy, Expertise, and Academic Freedom

A First Amendment Jurisprudence for the Modern State Robert C. Post

A leading American legal scholar offers a surprising account of the incompleteness of prevailing theories of freedom of speech. Robert C. Post shows that the familiar understanding of the First Amendment, which stresses the marketplace of ideas and which holds that everyone is entitled to an opinion, is inadequate to create and preserve the expert knowledge that is necessary for a modern democracy to thrive. For a modern society reliably to answer such questions as whether nicotine causes cancer, the free and open exchange of ideas must be complemented by standards of scientific competence and practice that are both hierarchical and judgmental. Post develops a theory of First Amendment rights that seeks to explain both the need for the free formation of public opinion and the need for the distribution and creation of expertise. Along the way he offers a new and useful account of constitutional doctrines of academic freedom. These doctrines depend both upon free expression and the necessity of the kinds of professional judgment that universities exercise when they grant or deny tenure, or that professional journals exercise when they accept or reject submissions.

A Legal Guide for Presidents and Their Enemies Brian C. kalt

The United States Constitution contains some potentially fatal weaknesses surrounding presidential selection, replacement, or punishment that could lead to constitutional controversies. In this compelling and fascinating book, Brian C. kalt envisions six such controversies, ranging from the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, to a two-term presidents attempt to stay in power, to the ousting of an allegedly disabled president. None of these things have ever occurredbut in recent years, many of them almost have. The events kalt describes are all situations where matters of constitutional interpretation would carry enormous political consequences. Because such events would put so much stress on our structure of government, we need to strive toward clear neutral rules that would resolve these situations smoothly and peacefully, rather than through a might-makes-right process.

The Last European Dictatorship Andrew Wilson

This book is the first in English to explore both Belaruss complicated road to nationhood and to examine in detail its politics and economics since 1991, the nations first year of true independence. Andrew Wilson focuses particular attention on Aliaksandr Lukashenkas surprising longevity as president, despite human rights abuses and involvement in yet another rigged election in December 2010. Wilson looks at Belarusian history as a series of false starts in the medieval and pre-modern periods, and at the many rival versions of Belarusian identity, culminating with the Soviet Belarusian project and the establishment of Belaruss current borders during World War II. He also addresses Belaruss on-off relationship with Russia, its simultaneous attempts to play a game of balance in the no-mans-land between Russia and the West, and how, paradoxically, Belarus is at last becoming a true nation under the rule of Europes last dictator.

The End of Race?

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.

Thorstein veblen is best known for his authorship of The Theory of the Leisure Class and The Theory of Business Enterprise, which made him a celebrated figure in the fields of economics and sociology at the turn of the twentieth century. In this book, Sidney Plotkin and Rick Tilman argue that in addition to his well-known work in these fields veblen also made importantand until now overlookedstatements about politics. While veblens writings seldom mention politics, they are saturated with political ideas: about the relationship among war, executive power, and democracy; about the similarities between modern executive positions and monarchy; about the political influence of corporate power; about the symbolism of politics; and about many other issues. By demonstrating the deep relevance of veblens writings to todays political troubles, The Political Ideas of Thorstein Veblen offers an important reconsideration of a major American thinker.

Losing Small Wars

British Military Failure in Iraq and Afghanistan Frank Ledwidge

Partly on the strength of their apparent success in insurgencies such as Malaya and Northern Ireland, the British armed forces have long been perceived as world class, if not world beating. However, their recent performance in Iraq and Afghanistan is widely seen asat bestdisappointing; under British control Basra degenerated into a lawless city riven with internecine violence, while tactical mistakes and strategic incompetence in Helmand Province resulted in heavy civilian and military casualties and a climate of violence and insecurity. In both cases the British were eventually and humiliatingly bailed out by the US army. In this thoughtful and compellingly readable book, Frank Ledwidge examines the British involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking how and why it went so wrong. With the aid of copious research, interviews with senior officers, and his own personal experiences, he looks in detail at the failures of strategic thinking and culture that led to defeat in Britains latest small wars. This is an eye-opening analysis of the causes of military failure, and its enormous costs.
FRANk LEDWIDGE served in Bosnia, kosovo, and Iraq as a military intelligence officer and in Afghanistan as a civilian justice advisor. He is currently a lecturer for kings College, London, at the RAF College, Cranwell.

Western Powers and the Breakup of yugoslavia Josip Glaurdic

By looking through the prism of the Wests involvement in the breakup of yugoslavia, this book presents a new examination of the end of the Cold War in Europe. Incorporating declassified documents from the CIA, the administration of George H.W. Bush, and the British Foreign office; evidence generated by The Hague Tribunal; and more than forty personal interviews with former diplomats and policy makers, Glaurdic exposes how the realist policies of the Western powers failed to prop up yugoslavias continuing existence as intended, and instead encouraged the yugoslav Army and the Serbian regime of Slobodan Miloevic to pursue violent means. The book also sheds light on the dramatic clash of opinions within the Western alliance regarding how to respond to the crisis. Glaurdic traces the origins of this clash in the Western powers different preferences regarding the roles of Germany, Eastern Europe, and foreign and security policy in the future of European integration. With subtlety and acute insight, The Hour of Europe provides a fresh understanding of events that continue to influence the shape of the postCold War Balkans and the whole of Europe.
JoSIP GLAURDIC received his Ph.D. from yale and is junior research fellow at Clare College, University of Cambridge. He divides his time between Cambridge, Uk, and Mnster, Germany.

The Peacekeeping Economy

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.
LLoyD J. DUMAS is Professor of Political Economy, Economics and Public Policy at the University of Texas, Dallas. He lives in Carrollton, TX.

The Problem of Slavery as History

A Global Approach

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.

I Am Not Master of Events

Larry Neal

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.

Propaganda State in Crisis

David Brandenberger

Soviet Ideology, Indoctrination, and Terror under Stalin, 19271941

the yAle-hoover series on stAlin, stAlinisM, AnD the colD wAr

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.

Configuring the Networked Self

Julie E. Cohen

Law, Code, and the Play of Everyday Practice

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.

The Forgotten Freedom of Assembly

JoHN D. INAzU is associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis.

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.

This book analyzes the economic challenges facing symphony orchestras and contrasts the experience of orchestras in the United States (where there is little direct government support) and abroad (where governments typically provide large direct subsidies). Robert J. Flanagan explains the tension between artistic excellence and financial jeopardy that confronts most symphony orchestras. 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

From Aristotle to Brain Science Sissela Bok

From the acclaimed author of Lying, a brilliant exploration of happiness set in the context of the worlds great philosophers, leaders, writers, and artists.

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. Sissela Bok writes so clearly and directly that the reader is often caught up short, suddenly realizing that her arguments are always provocations to think more deeply. This is a wise book.Richard Sennett
SISSELA Bok is Senior visiting Fellow at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, and a moral philosopher of international renown. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

It is hard to imagine how anyone else, in fewer than 200 pages of text, could better encompass so much Western thinking about a question so important to the way we live.Wall Street Journal

Managing Scholarly Information before the Modern Age

Ann Blair

Long before the modern era scholars complained of the overabundance of books and developed techniques for selecting, sorting, and storing information on a large scale. This intriguing book examines information management in pre-modern contexts with a special focus on the impact of printing in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this lively and learned book, Ann Blair shows us how early modern Europeans managed to surviveand even to surfwhat they saw as tidal waves of information.

knoll Textiles, 19452010

Edited by Earl Martin
With essays by Paul Makovsky, Bobbye Tigerman, Angela vlker, and Susan Ward

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.

The Life and Death of Buildings

on Photography and Time Joel Smith
A visually striking meditation on buildings and photographs as embodiments of social memory
Buildings inhabit and symbolize time, giving form to history and making public space an index of the past. Photographs are made of time; they are literally projections of past states of their subjects. This visually striking meditation on architecture in photography, indirectly marking the tenth anniversary of September 11, explores the intersection between these two ways of embodying the past, by contemplating photographs of buildings as simultaneously the agents, vehicles, and cargo of social memory. The Life and Death of Buildings features images by such renowned photographers as Edouard-Denis Baldus, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Laura Gilpin, Lewis W. Hine, and William Henry Fox Talbot alongside those by amateurs, architects, propagandists, and even insurance adjusters. Rather than examine these photographers aims in isolation, the author considers how their images reflect and inflect the passage of time. Much as a buildings shifting function and circumstances substantially alter its significance, a photograph studied in the context of its subsequent history grows layers of meaning to which its maker had no access.
JoEL SMITH is curator of photography at the Princeton University Art Museum. His previous publications include Edward Steichen: The Early Years.

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.

A fascinating look at the aesthetic means and political ends of the graphically bold posters of the Soviet Unions TASS News Agency during WWII
Windows on the War is a groundbreaking publication the first in English to focus on posters designed by the Soviet Unions TASS News Agency to bolster support for the Soviet war effort. TASS posters were created by a large collective of Soviet writers, printers, and artists, including such notables as Mikhail Cheremnykh, Nikolai Denisovskii, the kukryniksy, and Pavel SokolovSkalia. often six feet tall and always striking and bold, these stenciled posters were printed and placed daily in windows for the public to see.

Prints and the Pursuit of knowledge in Early Modern Europe

With essays by Susan Dackerman, Lorraine Daston, katharine Park, Suzanne karr Schmidt, and Claudia Swan
An unusual collaboration among distinguished art historians and historians of science, this book demonstrates how printmakers of the Northern Renaissance, far from merely illustrating the ideas of others, contributed to scientific investigations of their time. Hans Holbein, for instance, worked with cosmographers and instrument makers on some of the earliest sundial manuals published; Albrecht Drer produced the first printed maps of the constellations, which astronomers copied for over a century; and Hendrick Goltziuss depiction of the muscle-bound Hercules served as a study aid for students of anatomy. Prints and the Pursuit of Knowledge in Early Modern Europe features fascinating reproductions of woodcuts, engravings, and etchings; maps, globe gores, and globes; multilayered anatomical flap prints; and paper scientific instruments used for observation and measurement. Among the do-it-yourself paper instruments were sundials and astrolabes, and the book incorporates a facsimile of globe gores for the reader to cut out and assemble.

Johan zoffany RA

Society observed Edited by Martin Postle

The 18th-century painter Johan zoffany (17331810) was an astute observer of the many social circles in which he functioned as an artist over the course of his long career. This catalogue investigates his sharp wit, shrewd political appraisal, and perceptive social commentary (including subtle allusions to illicit relationships)all achieved while presenting his subjects as delightful and sophisticated members of polite society.

A skilled networker, zoffany established himself at the court of George III and Queen Charlotte soon after his arrival in England from his native Germany. At the same time, he befriended the leading actor David Garrick and through him became the foremost portrayer of Georgian theater. His brilliant effects and deft style were well suited to theatricality of all sorts, enabling him to secure patronage in England and on the continent. Following a prolonged visit to Italy he travelled to India, where he quickly became a popular and established member within the circle of Warren Hastings, the governor-general. zoffanys Indian paintings are among his most spectacular and allowed him to return to England enriched and warmly welcomed. This volume provides a sparkling overview of his finest works.

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.

Reinventing Tradition Susan Grace Galassi and Marilyn McCully
A fresh perspective on the importance of Picassos drawing practice and how he used his materials and graphic techniques to reinterpret past traditions and invigorate his art
Pablo Picasso (18811973) is acknowledged as one of the greatest draftsmen of the 20th century. Picassos Drawings, 18901921 follows the dazzling development of his drawing practice from the precocious academic exercises of his youth to his renewal of classicism in his virtuoso output of the early 1920s. A selection of more than seventy works on paper, with extended entries, highlights his stylistic experiments and techniques during this roughly thirty-year period, which begins and ends in a classical mode and encompasses his most radical innovations. An essay by Susan Grace Galassi provides a detailed study of Picassos drawing practice and explores his interest in the old Masters, and an essay by Marilyn McCully considers the early critical responses to Picassos drawings. These discussions of Picassos style, sources, and techniques demonstrate how drawing served as an essential means of invention and discovery for the artist. This book brings to the fore Picassos engagement with artists of the past and the ways in which he perpetuated, competed with, and ultimately reinvented the practices of his artistic mentors on his own terms. Through emulation, allusion, dissection, and outright hijacking, Picasso continued the grand tradition of drawing in a revitalized form. This study reveals the extent to which the artist relied on drawing as a means of synthesizing past and present, tradition and innovation, to give his own art a bold and vigorous expression.

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.

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. The basic visual components of caricature are discussed and illustrated, as are significant themes such as physical types, people as animals or objects, social satire (food, fashion, and foreigners), and politics (British, French, and American). Artists as well known as Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, William Hogarth, Francisco de Goya, Thomas Rowlandson, Eugne Delacroix, Honor Daumier, and David Levine contribute their distinctive talents to this fascinating and very amusing compilation.

Facing Beauty
Aileen Ribeiro

Painted Women and Cosmetic Art

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.

Wonder of the Age

Master Painters of India, 11001900

John Guy and Jorrit Britschgi

Dispelling the long-held view of the anonymity of Indian artists, this fascinating publication identifies over forty painters of masterpieces spanning eight centuries
Traditionally, Indian paintings have been classified according to regional styles or dynastic periods, with an emphasis on subject matter and narrative content. This fascinating publication counters the long-held view of the anonymity of Indian art, emphasizing the combined tools of connoisseurship and inscription evidence to reveal the identities of individual artists and their oeuvres through an analysis of style. Enchanting color illustrations highlight over one hundred works spanning eight centuries. The introduction outlines the origins of early Indian painting in the first millennium, which set the scene for the development of the art of the book. The chapters that follow examine manuscript painting as it developed from palm leaf to paper; the Sultanate and North Indian Hindu tradition; the Mughal school under the patronage of emperors Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan; the renaissance of the Hindu courts from 1650 to 1730; the later styles of the Punjab Hill and Rajasthani courts; Company School painting; and the coming of photography. Each chapter features a summary of the period and biographical essays of specific artists followed by a selection of their works. The eminent artists chosen are among the greatest in the history of Indian painting. Each could lay claim to the honorific bestowed by emperors on their favorite painters: Nadirai-i-zaman, the wonder of the age.

Introduction by Alisa LaGamma

Conversation with El Anatsui by Chika okeke-Agulu

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.

The Image of Christ

With an introduction by Neil MacGregor and contributions by Susanna Avery-Quash, Xavier Bray, Erika Langmuir, Neil MacGregor, and Alexander Sturgis
Rather than presenting a life of Christ in art, this beautiful book explores the challenges facing artists when representing JesusGod who became a man. It traces how the image of Christ that we recognize today evolved over two millennia, from the earliest metaphorical symbols of the Shepherd, the Lamb, and the vine to the emergence of a true likeness. The book elegantly describes how artists have conveyed the paradox of Christs dual naturehuman and divine, weak and powerfulin portrayals of his infancy, and it also shows how images of his suffering convey a cosmic, as well as personal, significance. The moments of Christs life become, through art, archetypes of all human experience: Christ nursed by the virgin expresses the feelings of love every mother has for her child; Christ mocked is innocence beset by violence. A reissue of a successful book (first published in 2000), The Image of Christ is an essential volume for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of European art, in which Christian subjects have featured so prominently.

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.

Degass Dancers at the Barre

Point and Counterpoint Eliza Rathbone and Elizabeth Steele

Edgar Degas (18341917) was fascinated with ballet dancers, whom he depicted with great frequency in many media throughout his career. Degass Dancers at the Barre (The Phillips Collection) is one of the crowning achievements of the artists career and the cornerstone of this insightful publication. Bringing together carefully chosen drawings, pastels, prints, paintings, and mixed media, which relate to the Phillipss masterpiece, the authors build on recent scholarship about Degass approach to work, his technique, and the subject matter. This book also features fascinating results from recent conservation of the work, the first campaign since the painting was acquired in 1944, which brought to light important new facts about its sources, dating, and complicated history.

The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Jack keats

With an essay by Maurice Berger
In 1962, Ezra Jack keatss picture book The Snowy Day introduced readers to young Peter, the first African American protagonist in a full-color childrens book, who traipsed alone through the snowy, wondrous sidewalks of New york City. The book was a runaway success, capturing the Caldecott Medal and selling more than two million copies. In The Snowy Day and subsequent books, keatss awareness of the city, its daily hum, and the role of its children are deeply felt and delicately rendered in words and bright collages and paintings. He made a prominent place for characters and places that had not been represented in childrens books, saying about Peter, My book would have him there simply because he should have been there all along. Coinciding with The Snowy Days 50th anniversary, the current publication features more than 75 illustrations alongside essays by Claudia Nahson and Maurice Berger, who discuss keatss Jewish background, his advocacy of civil rights, his inventive art, and his wide-ranging influence.

Leonardo da vinci
Luke Syson

Painter at the Court of Milan

With an essay by Larry keith and contributions by Antonio Mazzotta, Minna Moore Ede, Scott Nethersole, Arturo Galansino, and Per Rumberg

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.

A vocabulary of Style Jrme Gautier

A luxurious book that showcases the spirit and essence of Chanels iconic style through the medium of fashion photography
Gabrielle Bonheur Coco Chanel (18831971) was undoubtedly the most influential fashion designer of the 20th century. Her clothes and accessories have remained perennially chic, and her legendary fashion house continues to exert a powerful sway over todays designers. Jrme Gautier tells the story of Chanels iconic style through hundreds of images, many taken by the leading lights of fashion photography, including Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, Jean-Paul Goude, David LaChapelle, Horst P. Horst, Steven Meisel, Sarah Moon, Man Ray, and Ellen von Unwerth. This innovative volume pairs classic and contemporary photographs, placing fashion plates from Chanels time alongside those by the houses designer-in-chief, karl Lagerfeld. For instance, Cecil Beatons portrait of Chanel appears alongside Lagerfelds image of Cate Blanchett emulating her, and a classic plate by Henry Clarke flanks an arresting shot by Juergen Teller. Through these dazzling photographs, Chanel: A Vocabulary of Style identifies key elements that have defined Chanels style for generations, such as jersey and tweed, formerly considered menswear fabrics, and the little black dress, which transformed a hue previously reserved for mourning into a statement of elegance. Pearls were her staple, and she often embellished outfits with her signature camellia. Twelve chapters compare the original forms of these enduring trademarks with their later expressions over the years and to the present day, letting the vocabulary of Chanels style speak for itself.

Painter/Photographers from Bonnard to vuillard Edited by Elizabeth W. Easton

With contributions by Clment Chroux, Michel Frizot, Todd Gustavson, Franoise Heilbrun, Ellen W. Lee, Anne McCauley, Saskia ooms, katia Poletti, Eliza Rathbone, and Hans Rooseboom

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.

The Three Graces

Michal Raz-Russo

Snapshots of Twentieth-Century Women

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.

Structures, 19652005

Edited by Nicholas Baume

With essays by Nicholas Baume, Rachel Haidu, Anna Lovatt, Joe Madura, and kirsten Swenson Foreword by Susan k. Freedman

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.

With contributions by Julia F. Andrews, Tamaki Maeda, kuiyi Shen, and Aida yuen Wong
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.

The Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp

The Persian Book of kings Introduction by Sheila R. Canby
one of the most voluminous epics of world literature, the Shahnama (or Book of kings) narrates the history of the ancient kings of Iran, from their mythical beginnings to the Arab conquest in 651 A.D. Although illustrated copies of the poem were commissioned by numerous Iranian kings, the Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp (r. 15241576) is arguably the most important and beautifully illustrated version ever produced. It was created by two generations of the most renowned early-16th-century artists at the royal atelier in Tabriz, the first capital of the Safavid dynasty. Characterized by calligraphy, painting, and illuminations of exquisite quality and artistic originality, the volume is considered one of the highest achievements in the arts of the book. After its creation, the Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp traveled through several royal collections until it was broken up and dispersed in the 20th century. Now, for the first time, all 258 illuminated pages of this famous volume are reproduced in color and close to their original size in this sumptuous publication.

From Donatello to Bellini Edited by keith Christiansen and Stefan Weppelmann
With essays by Patricia Lee Rubin, Beverly Louise Brown, Peter Humfrey, and Rudolf Preimesberger Contributions by Andrea Bayer, Francesco Caglioti, Eleonara Luciano, and Stephen k. Scher

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.

Contested visions in the Spanish Colonial World

Edited by Ilona katzew
An absorbing discussion of the myriad depictions of the indigenous people of Mexico and Peru in colonial times
Contested Visions offers a comparative view of the two principal viceroyalties of Spanish America: Mexico and Peru. Spanning developments from the 15th to the 19th century, this ambitious book looks at the many ways and contexts in which indigenous peoples were represented in art of the early modern periodby colonial artists, European artists, and themselves. More than two hundred works of art, including paintings, sculptures, illustrated books, maps, codices, manuscripts, and other materials such as textiles, keros, and feather works, are reproduced in full-color illustrations, demonstrating the rich variety of these artistic approaches. A collection of essays by an international team of distinguished scholars in the field uncovers the different meanings and purposes behind these depictions of native populations of the Americas. These experts explore the role of the visual arts in negotiating a sense of place in late pre-Columbian and colonial Latin America. They address a range of important topics, such as the construct of the Indian as a good Christian; how Amerindians drew on their pre-Columbian past to stake out a place within the Spanish body politic; their participation in festive rites; and their role as artists. Lavishly illustrated, this ambitious book provides a compelling and original framework by which to understand the intersection of vision and power in the Spanish colonial world.

Alisa LaGamma

Legendary Leaders, Iconic Sculptures

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.

Japans Textile Pioneers Joe Earle and Hiroko Watanabe

Japan is a world leader in fiber arts, with practitioners whose deep understanding of inherited materials and techniques has given them freedom to move beyond traditional utility to create innovative and beautiful works of art. Fiber Futures features some twenty-five artists, from seasoned veterans to relative newcomers. It examines such topics as the relationship between traditional and contemporary practice; the role of creators with a fine-art orientation in appropriating, and sometimes helping to preserve, traditional craft technologies; the challenges and opportunities for handcraft technologies in an age of mass production; and issues of Japanese authenticity versus globalism. This handsome book shows how the medium has advanced and diversified dramatically over the past decade and focuses on sculptural and installation works. The remarkable pieces are made of materials ranging from ethereal silk gauze through banana-bark and handmade paper to fine steel thread, synthetics, and glass fiber, using methods that are sometimes deeply traditional, but sometimes employ the latest weaving and dyeing technology.

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.

New yorks Photo League, 19361951

Mason klein and Catherine Evans

An in-depth look at the influential Photo League, whose blend of aesthetics and social activism advanced modern photography
Artists in the Photo League, active from 1936 to 1951, were known for capturing sharply revealing, compelling moments from everyday life. Their focus centered on New york City and its vibrant streetsa newsboy at work, a brass band on a bustling corner, a crowded beach at Coney Island. Though beautiful, the images harbor strong social commentary on issues of class, child labor, and opportunity. The Radical Camera explores the fascinating blend of aesthetics and social activism at the heart of the Photo League, tracing the groups leftleaning roots and idealism to the worker-photography movement in Europe. Influenced by mentors Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, and Paul Strand, artists in the Photo League worked within a unique complex comprising a school, a darkroom, a gallery, and a salon, in which photography was discussed as both a means for social change and an art form. The influence of the Photo League artists on modern photography was enormous, ushering in the New york School. Presenting 150 works of the members of the Photo League alongside complementary essays that offer new interpretations of the Leagues work, ideas, and pedagogy, this beautifully illustrated book features artists including Margaret Bourke-White, Sid Grossman, Morris Engel, Lisette Model, Ruth orkin, Walter Rosenblum, Aaron Siskind, W.

Conceptual Art and the Photograph, 19641977 Edited by Matthew S. Witkovsky

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.

Graham, Davis, Gorky, de kooning, and Their Circle, 19271942

William C. Agee, Irving Sandler, and karen Wilkin

A new examination of the art and influence of artist John Graham and his circle, whose works and ideas contributed to the advancement of American modernism in the interwar period
The enigmatic and charismatic John Graham (1886 1961) was an important influence on his fellow New york artists in the 1920s through 1940s. Graham and his circle, which included Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, and Willem de kooning, helped redefine ideas of what painting and sculpture could be. They, along with others in Grahams orbit, such as Jackson Pollock and David Smith, played a critical role in developing and defining American modernism. American Vanguards showcases about eighty-seven works of art from this vital period that demonstrate the interconnections, common sources, and shared stimuli among the members of Grahams circle. Three essays by notable scholars investigate the complex relationships among Graham and his New york artist-colleagues during this formative period. William C. Agee positions Graham and his circle within the movement of New Classicism, which drew upon classical and Renaissance examples in an attempt to overcome the devastation of World War I. Irving Sandler focuses on the social, political, and intellectual dynamics among Davis, Gorky, Graham, and de kooning in the mid-1930s. karen Wilkin discusses the circumstances that brought these artists together, their common commitment to modernism, and the fascinating artistic cross-fertilization evident in their work. This critical reconsideration sheds new light on the New york School, Abstract Expressionism, and the vitality of American modernism between the two world wars.

Radical Invention, 19131917 Stephanie DAlessandro and John Elderfield

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.

European Portraits, 14501850 Richard Rand and kathleen M. Morris

Portraiture is an enduring genre that has captivated artists and viewers for hundreds of years. From the late 15th through the early 19th century, artists continued to find new ways of approaching the portrait by exploring a range of styles, strategies, and themes. In this beautiful book, noted scholars discuss these various approaches and explain how they apply to specific examples, focusing on thirty superb portraits drawn from a distinguished private collection.

Although many of these portraits are by renowned artists such as Lucas Cranach the Elder, Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Hans Memling, and Anthony van Dyck, others testify to the talents of lesserknown artists who are equally deserving of attention. Moreover, several of the featured paintings are previously unpublished, including works by Giovanni Battista Moroni, Parmigianino, Jusepe de Ribera, and Peter Paul Rubens.

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

vauxhall Gardens

A History David E. Coke and Alan Borg

From their early beginnings in the Restoration until the final closure in Queen victorias reign, vauxhall Gardens developed from a rural tavern and place of assignation into a dream-world filled with visual arts and music, and finally into a commercial site of mass entertainment. By the 18th century, vauxhall was crucial to the cultural and fashionable life of the country, patronized by all levels of society, from royal dukes to penurious servants. In the first book on the subject for over fifty years, Alan Borg and David E. Coke reveal the teeming life, the spectacular art and the ever-present music of vauxhall in fascinating detail. Borg and Cokes historical exposition of the entire history of the gardens makes a major contribution to the study of London entertainments, art, music, sculpture, class and ideology. It reveals how vauxhall linked high and popular culture in ways that look forward to the manner in which both art and entertainment have evolved in modern times.

Forests, Rocks, Torrents

With contributions by Sarah Herring

Norwegian and Swiss Landscape Paintings Christopher Riopelle

Forests, Rocks, Torrents brings together an array of Norway and Switzerlands most talented 19th-century artists, who shared an interest in capturing their native dramatic alpine landscapes. This richly illustrated book also examines the differences that climate, character, and political regimes have imposed on artistic practices.

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.

Style and Substance Walter Liedtke

Portraits and genre scenes by the great Dutch painter Frans Hals (1582/83 1666) are celebrated for their immediacy and dazzling brushwork. His dramatic compositions and bold technique brought his subjects to life in an unprecedented way. This book focuses upon eleven major works by Hals from the Metropolitan Museums collection, supplemented by two Hals paintings from private collections and a selection of other Dutch paintings and prints. The pictures included here span forty years of Halss career, from the early Merrymakers at Shrovetide of about 1616 to engaging portraits he painted in Haarlem during his later years. The author discusses the formation of Halss style, emphasizing his stay in Antwerp in 1616 and his knowledge of Flemish masters and of contemporary critical thinking. For the first time, Halss work is considered in the context of broader European trends, in particular the Early Baroque movement that flourished in Antwerp during the 1600s.

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.

The New Painting of the 1860s

Between the Pre-Raphaelites and the Aesthetic Movement Allen Staley

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.

Building After Auschwitz

Jewish Architecture and the Memory of the Holocaust Gavriel D. Rosenfeld

Since the end of World War II, Jewish architects have risen to unprecedented international prominence. Whether as modernists, postmodernists, or deconstructivists, architects such as Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Louis I. kahn, Daniel Libeskind, Richard Meier, Moshe Safdie, Robert A.M. Stern, and Stanley Tigerman have made pivotal contributions to postwar architecture. They have also decisively shaped Jewish architectural history, as many of their designs are influenced by Jewish themes, ideas, and imagery. Building After Auschwitz is the first major study to examine the origins of this new Jewish architecture. Historian Gavriel D. Rosenfeld describes this cultural development as the result of important shifts in Jewish memory and identity since the Holocaust, and cites the rise of postmodernism, multiculturalism, and Holocaust consciousness as a catalyst. In showing how Jewish architects responded to the Nazi genocide in their work, Rosenfelds study sheds new light on the evolution of Holocaust memory.

Aalto and America

Edited by Stanford Anderson, Gail Fenske, and David Fixler

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.

The Architect of kings vaughan Hart

Inigo Jones (15731652) is widely acknowledged to have been Englands most important architect. As court designer to the Stuart kings James I and Charles I, he is credited with introducing the classical language of architecture to the country. He famously traveled to Italy and studied firsthand the buildings of the Italian masters, particularly admiring those by Andrea Palladio. Much less well-known is the profound influence of native British arts and crafts on Joness architecture. Likewise, his hostility to the more opulent forms of Italian architecture he saw on his travels has largely gone unnoted. This book examines both of these overlooked issues. vaughan Hart identifies well-established links between the classical column and the crown prior to Jones, in early Stuart masques, processions, heraldry, paintings, and poems. He goes on to discuss Joness preference for a masculine and unaffected architecture, demonstrating that this plain style was consistent with the Puritan artistic sensitivities of Stuart England. For the first time, the work of Inigo Jones is understood in its national religious and political context.

Theology and the Challenges of Art T. J. Gorringe

This stimulating book argues that great art can function as a secular parablethat is, like the parables of Jesus, art can lead viewers to reflect on the reality and presence of God in the world. T. J. Gorringe examines representative secular paintings of the most significant types (mythological themes, genre painting, portraiture, landscape, still life, abstract art), showing how each type can point toward God, whether by envisaging an alternative future, creating aesthetic delight, or teaching us to see things differently. His provocative study challenges the notion that art since the 15th century has become increasingly secularized. Gorringe gives careful consideration to each works historical background and artistic context, as well as to art historical and critical appraisals. With an ecumenical approach, he then provides an insightful argument for how each piece can be read theologically. Although readers may sometimes disagree with his theological stance or his interpretation of specific works, his engaging commentary provokes reflection and challenges deeper questioning and awareness.

And Diverse Are Their Hues

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.

The American Christmas Card

kenneth L. Ames
The power of Christmas derives from the appeal of its repeated rituals, the presumed antiquity of its traditions, and its ability to adapt to changing cultural conditions. Christmas cards seemed inevitable and ubiquitous, but in recent years the genre has been visibly in decline. It is now evident that the Christmas card was a culturally specific artifact, a distinctive way in which a fundamental human gesture could be expressed within a commercial, materialistic, and rapidly changing society. This stylish book explores the imagery, graphic forms, subject matter, and significance of Christmas cards in their chronological timeframe to reveal an important area of American material culture. There is much to surprise and delight.

Near Sydenham Hill by Camille Pissarro kathleen Adler

Camille Pissarro (18301903) is best known as one of the founders of the Impressionist movement. Although he received his artistic training in Paris, a seven-month stay in London, beginning in December of 1870, had a lasting impact on his artistic development. Fleeing Paris during the upheavals of the Franco-Prussian War, Pissarro settled in the South London suburb of Norwood. From there, he explored his new environs, reveling in the citys galleries and museums, where he admired the works of John Constable and J. M. W. Turner. Pissarro produced a number of paintings inspired by his surroundings, including Near Sydenham Hill, which depicts a view of Norwood bordered by fields and flanked by trees. The loose brushstrokes and atmospheric effects of this painting are early indicators of the Impressionist style that Pissarro would pursue in the years after his return to France. kathleen Adler analyzes this pivotal work in detail and uses it as a launching point for a larger discussion of the artists life, circumstances, and artistic trajectory.

virtuoso Draftsman Jonathan Brown

known primarily as a great painter, Bartolom Esteban Murillo (1617 1682) was also one of the best draftsmen of the 17th century. Although his devotional paintings seem to have been created effortlessly, they are the result of careful thought and study, a process that comes alive in the preparatory drawings. Murillo used a variety of techniques, favoring pen and ink and brown wash and red-and-black chalk. Like painters schooled in Italian Renaissance practice, the Spaniard developed his paintings in stages, starting with sketches of the full composition and then focusing on details that posed specific problems. occasionally, Murillo used drawings as a medium for original compositions; these are highly finished pieces, usually enhanced by the use of wash and unmistakably stamped with the artists personality. This sumptuous book is a thoroughly revised edition of the 1976 publication Murillo & His Drawings. Twenty sheets have been added to the catalogue of authentic works, the bibliography has been brought up to date, and the entries have been revised.

Peter Fergusson

Canterbury Cathedral Priory in the Age of Becket

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.

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.

Art and Science in Philadelphia, 17401840 Edited by Amy R. W. Meyers

With the assistance of Lisa L. Ford
Philadelphia developed the most active scientific community in early America, fostering an influential group of naturalist-artists, including William Bartram, Charles Willson Peale, Alexander Wilson, and John James Audubon, whose work has been addressed by many monographic studies. However, as the groundbreaking essays in Knowing Nature demonstrate, the examination of nature stimulated not only forms of artistic production traditionally associated with scientific practice of the day, but processes of making not ordinarily linked to science. The often surprisingly intimate connections between and among these creative activities and the objects they engendered are explored through the essays in this book, challenging the hierarchy that is generally assumed to have been at play in the study of nature, from the natural sciences through the fine and decorative arts, and, ultimately, popular and material culture. Indeed, the many ways in which the means of knowing nature were reversedin which artistic and artisanal culture informed scientific interpretations of the natural worldforms a central theme of this pioneering publication.

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.

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

Richard Parkes Bonington

The Complete Drawings Patrick Noon
By the time of Richard Parkes Boningtons tragic death from tuberculosis in 1828, the 25-year-old artist, who was born in England and moved to France as a teenager, was already a seminal figure in the development of modernism in 19th-century French painting. This catalogue raisonn of his drawings serves as a companion to Patrick Noons Richard Parkes Bonington: The Complete Paintings and represents the next stage in his objective to present the artists complete known oeuvre. Drawing on more than 25 years of research, Noon catalogues, analyzes, and reproduces more than 400 drawings now indisputably attributed to Bonington. This is the first time many of these exquisite works are appearing in print, among them drawings composed during an 1826 trip through Switzerland and northern Italy.

The Glassell Collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Frances Marzio

Masterworks of Pre-Columbian, Indonesian, and African Gold

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.

Resisting Categories: Latin American and/or Latino?

Mari Carmen Ramrez, Hctor olea, and Toms ybarra-Frausto
The first volume in a groundbreaking new series, publishing essential primary sources for Latin American art and culture
The terms Latin American and Latino have been used broadly to describe artists from a number of different countries, races, and cultures. yet these reductive terms fail to clearly define these artists, who ultimately resist categorization. This comprehensive volume brings to light more than 170 crucial texts written by influential artists and critics who explore what it means to be Latin American or Latino. Among the many topics discussed are notions of pan Latin Americanism, the emergence of collections and exhibitions devoted specifically to Latin American art, and multicultural critiques of Latin American essentialism. The selected writings, many of which have never before been published in English, span from the late 19th century to the present day, and include texts by such luminaries as David Alfaro Siqueiros, Joaqun Torres-Garca, Jorge Luis Borges, Marta Traba, and Luis Camnitzer.

venice Disputed

MarcAntonio Barbaro and venetian Architecture, 15501600 Deborah Howard

In the councils and magistracies of the venetian Republic, politicians argued intently over civic building projects in a manner curiously reminiscent of a modern democracy, taking advice from architects, engineers, and the public. Written by a leading authority on venetian architecture, the book explores the complex dialectic between theory and practice; utopia and reality; and design and technology that infused these disputes. The bitterly contested debates are seen through the experiences of one particular venetian nobleman, MarcAntonio Barbaro (15181595). Recognized as a gifted stuccoist and draftsman, Barbaro played a prominent role in the discussions about major state building projects such as Palladios church of the Redentore, the restoration of the Doges Palace, and the erection of the Rialto Bridge. He was a distinguished statesman and orator, but his idealistic views about the rhetorical power of classicism frequently clashed with local technological expertise. Venice Disputed recounts not only his public role but also his private life, centered on the now-famous family villa that he and his brother commissioned. Barbaros compelling story thus weaves together politics, architectural history, and private life in early modern venice.

A Closer Look

Techniques of Painting Jo kirby

Materials and working practices influence a painter just as much as contemporary intellectual and cultural developments. Techniques of Painting aims to help readers develop a painterly eye by learning to recognize different materials and methods of application and to appreciate how these features contribute to how a painting looks. Like all Closer Look volumes, this is a how-to-look guide, rather than a how-to-do guide, enabling readers to identify different painting techniques in all collections. The pictures illustrated range from 13th-century panel paintings in egg tempera to 19thcentury oils on canvas, all from the National Gallery, London.

Washington Crossing the Delaware

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.

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.

The Anglo-Florentine Renaissance

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.

A Renaissance Masterpiece in the Philadelphia Museum of Art Pierre Terjanian

This striking publication examines two masterful armors for man and horse recently acquired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Among the earliest complete European examples in existence, these German works demonstrate the superior design and craftsmanship of princely armor in the early 16th century. The celebrated master Wilhelm von Worms the Elder (d. 1538) of Nuremberg made the luxurious, exquisitely decorated steel horse armor for Duke Ulrich of Wrttemberg (14871550). The man armor was crafted by Matthes Deutsch (last documented c. 1505) of Landshut, another distinguished armorer patronized by German princes; it is his latest and most sumptuous work. Princely Armor in the Age of Drer discusses the function, design, decoration, and manufacture of these masterpieces and situates them within German art, culture, and politics, and within the development of European armor in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance.

Traditional Buildings of Cumbria

R. W. Brunskill

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.
