Q: Why this book?
A: Americans have become all too familiar with a government that seems perpetually deadlocked over partisan differences. Democracy depends on competition between alternative visions and energetic debate over proposed policies, but in the end, the sides have to be able to make the compromises that will enable the government to meet its constitutional responsibilities. Instead we have a constant battle between private clubs for advantage in the next election. After sixteen years as a member of Congress, and twenty years of studying government from the outside, I came to realize that we’ve been wrong about the root of the problem: it’s not that we elect the wrong people, it’s that we expect them to govern in a political system that rewards intransigence and considers compromise a sellout. The problem is systemic—closed primaries that narrow voter choices, partisan redistricting, and a Congress of competing teams—and there’s no way to fix it except by changing the system itself.

A conversation with Mickey Edwards

Gia Regan

Q: What can we do about it?
A: Ultimately, the people decide. Large numbers of voters no longer feel loyalty to a political party. They have it in their hands to force change through referenda and citizen initiatives, and through direct confrontation with elected officials. We can demand that our government officials serve us not primarily as Republicans or Democrats but as Americans.

Q: Is that realistic?
A: Absolutely: Washington State and California have already changed their systems. Hundreds of thousands of citizens support reform organizations that are working to break down partisan control. More than four in ten voters have rejected the party system. The revolution is already under way.

The Parties Versus the People
Mickey Edwards

How to Turn Republicans and Democrats into Americans

A penetrating analysis of American democracy’s most urgent threat: a political system so paralyzed by partisanship it is almost incapable of placing national interest ahead of the blind pursuit of political advantage
America’s political system is dysfunctional. While this is a widely held view, it is a problem that—so far—has proved intractable. After every election, voters discover yet again that political “leaders” are simply quarreling in a never-ending battle between the two warring tribes, the Republicans and Democrats. In this critically important book, a distinguished statesman and thinker identifies exactly how our political and governing systems reward intransigence, discourage compromise, and undermine our democracy. He then describes exactly what must be done to banish the negative effects of partisan warfare from our political system. As a former congressman, Mickey Edwards witnessed firsthand how important legislative battles can devolve “Overcoming tribalism and knee-jerk into struggles not over principle but over party advan- partisanship is the central challenge of tage. He offers graphic examples of how this problem our time. Mickey Edwards shows why has intensified and reveals how political battles have and how in this fascinating book filled become nothing more than conflicts between party with sensible suggestions.”—Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs machines. Edwards’s solutions—specific, practical, fair, and original—show the way to break the stranglehold of the political party system. The Parties Versus the People offers hope for a fundamental renewal of American democracy.
MICkEy EDWARDS, a congressman for sixteen years and a faculty member at Harvard and Princeton for the subsequent sixteen years, is a vice president of the Aspen Institute. He has been a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and other newspapers, and he broadcasts a weekly commentary on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered.

Why Italy Must Conquer Its Demons to Face the Future Bill Emmott
An original analysis of the war between the two opposing sides of Italy’s national character
Not long ago Italy was Europe’s highly touted emerging economy, a society that blended dynamism and superfast growth with a lifestyle that was the envy of all. Now it is viewed as a major threat to the future of the Euro, indeed to the European Union as a whole. Italy’s political system is shorn of credibility as it struggles to deal with huge public debts and anemic levels of economic growth. young people are emigrating in droves, frustrated at the lack of opportunity, while older people stubbornly cling to their rights and privileges, fearful of an uncertain future. In this lively, up-to-the-minute book, Bill Emmott explains how Italy sank to this low point, how Italians feel about it, and what can be done to return the country to more prosperous and more democratic times. With the aid of numerous personal interviews, Emmott analyzes “Bad Italy”—the land of disgraced Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, an inadequate justice system, an economy dominated by special interests and continuing corruption—against its contrasting foil “Good Italy,” the home of enthusiastic entrepreneurs, truth-seeking journalists, and countless citizens determined to end mafia domination for good.
BILL EMMOTT was editor-in-chief of The Economist and is now a freelance commentator on international affairs. He is a regular columnist for The Times in London and La Stampa in Italy, and the author of several books, including most recently Rivals: How the Power Struggle between China, India and Japan will Shape our Next Decade.

The Voting Wars
Richard L. Hasen

From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown

The problems uncovered during the debacle of the 2000 presidential election persist, and we can expect far more trouble unless we fix the way we run elections
In 2000, just a few hundred votes out of millions cast in the state of Florida separated Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush from his Democratic opponent, Al Gore. The outcome of the election rested on Florida’s 25 electoral votes, and legal wrangling continued for 36 days. Then, abruptly, one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in U.S. history, Bush v. Gore, cut short the battle. Since the Florida debacle we have witnessed a partisan war over election rules. Election litigation has skyrocketed, and election time brings out inevitable accusations by political partisans of voter fraud and voter suppression. These allegations have shaken public confidence, as campaigns deploy “armies of lawyers” and the partisan press revs up when elections are expected to be close “This is a Stephen king novel for and the stakes are high. election junkies.

The Fall of the House of Assad David W. Lesch
One of the only Westerners well acquainted with Assad sheds new light on the ophthalmologist-turned-tyrant and how his regime failed Syria
When Syrian President Bashar al-Assad came to power upon his father’s death in 2000, many in- and outside Syria held high hopes that the popular young doctor would bring long-awaited reform, that he would be a new kind of Middle East leader capable of guiding his country toward genuine democracy. David Lesch was one of those who saw this promise in Assad. A widely respected Middle East scholar and consultant, Lesch came to know the president better than anyone in the West, in part through a remarkable series of meetings with Assad between 2004 and 2009. yet for Lesch, like millions of others, Assad was destined to disappoint. In this timely book, the author explores Assad’s failed leadership, his transformation from bearer of hope to reactionary tyrant, and his regime’s violent response to “David Lesch is one of the very few the uprising of his people in the wake of the Arab Spring. outsiders who knows anything about Lesch charts Assad’s turn toward repression and the inexorable steps toward the violence of 2011 and 2012.

In a thoughtful conclusion, the author suggests scenarios that could unfold in Syria’s uncertain future.

The Race for Global Advantage Robert D. Atkinson and Stephen J. Ezell
Why America no longer leads the world in innovation, why we should be concerned, and what must be done about it
This important book delivers a critical wake-up call: a fierce global race for innovation advantage is under way, and while other nations are making support for technology and innovation a central tenet of their economic strategies and policies, America lacks a robust innovation policy. What does this portend? Robert Atkinson and Stephen Ezell, widely respected economic thinkers, report on profound new forces that are shaping the global economy—forces that favor nations with innovation-based economies and innovation policies. Unless the United States enacts public policies to reflect this reality, Americans face the relatively lower standards of living associated with a noncompetitive national economy. The authors explore how a weak innovation economy not only contributed to the Great Recession but is delaying America’s recovery from it and how innovation in the United States compares with that in other developed and developing nations. Atkinson and Ezell then lay out a detailed, pragmatic road map for America to regain its global innovation advantage by 2020, as well as maximize the global supply of innovation and promote sustainable globalization.

Q: You have previously authored two award-winning books with Yale University Press. How do you see America the Possible in relation to the other two?
A: I see them as a progression, a trilogy perhaps, each digging deeper into what I think of as the American Crisis. When huge problems emerge across a wide front, such as we have in America, it cannot be for small reasons. What we have is system failure. Our current system of political economy is not delivering good results socially, economically, environmentally, or politically. That’s America’s real crisis. America the Possible takes all this head on; it is the broadest in scope and boldest in ambition of the three books.

A conversation with Gus Speth

Q: How so?
A: The book is brutally honest about the full range of major challenges America now faces, not just the environmental ones. It explains how we got ourselves into this sea of troubles and presents the specific changes now needed to get us out. Importantly, it describes a vision of America the Possible, an attractive yet plausible future that is still within our power to realize. And it sets out how system change can come to America.

Q: What should the first steps toward America the Possible be?
A: The truly good news is that important steps are already being taken. Look across America and one sees local communities reclaiming themselves, new forms of corporate ownership and management, families adopting new lifestyles, and much more. The future is being built from the bottom up. The next big step, which I discuss in Part IV of the book, is for progressives of all stripes to come together to forge a movement demanding prodemocracy political reforms. We’ve got to save our democracy from creeping corporatocracy and plutocracy, and we’ve got to do it soon.

America the Possible
James G. Speth

Roadmap to a New Economy

Why the crisis in which America finds itself demands a new “operating system”
In this third volume of his award-winning American Crisis series, James Gustave Speth makes his boldest and most ambitious contribution yet. He looks unsparingly at the sea of troubles in which the United States now finds itself, charts a course through the discouragement and despair commonly felt today, and envisions what he calls America the Possible, an attractive and plausible future that we can still realize. The book identifies a dozen features of the American political economy—the country’s basic operating system—where transformative change is essential. It spells out the specific changes that are needed to move toward a new political economy—one in which the true priority is to sustain people and planet. Supported by a compelling “theory of change” that explains how system change can come to America, the book also presents a vision of political, social, and economic life in a renewed America. Speth envisions a future that will be well worth fighting for. In short, this is a book about the American future and the strong possibility that we yet have it in ourselves to use our freedom and our democracy in powerful ways to create something fine, a reborn America, for our children and grandchildren.

The Scientific Buddha
His Short and Happy Life Donald S. Lopez, Jr.
How Western notions of the Buddha have come to misrepresent his teachings and the traditional goals of Buddhist practice
This book tells the story of the Scientific Buddha, “born” in Europe in the 1800s but commonly confused with the Buddha born in India 2,500 years ago. The Scientific Buddha was sent into battle against Christian missionaries, who were proclaiming across Asia that Buddhism was a form of superstition. He proved the missionaries wrong, teaching a dharma that was in harmony with modern science. And so his influence continues. Today his teaching of “mindfulness” is heralded as the cure for all manner of maladies, from depression to high blood pressure. In this potent critique, a well-known chronicler of the West’s encounter with Buddhism demonstrates how the Scientific Buddha’s teachings deviate in crucial ways from those of the far older Buddha of ancient India. Donald Lopez shows that the Western focus on the “Offers a new and original perspective Scientific Buddha threatens to bleach Buddhism of its on how to understand the comparative vibrancy, complexity, and power, even as the superficial relationship that has formed between Buddhism and science among the focus on “mindfulness” turns Buddhism into merely interested, educated public—in the the latest self-help movement.

Q: What’s new about your book, given that you have already talked about the importance of entrepreneurship to growth in your prior book, Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism?
A: The financial crisis and the recession that followed underscored for us that a sustained recovery and higher long-run growth will require a heavier dose of entrepreneurship than we had previously recommended. This book lays out some concrete ways to do that.

A conversation with Robert E. Litan and Carl J. Schramm

Q: When you say “entrepreneurship,” do you mean any kind of new business?
A: High-growth economies require high-growth firms, which we define as firms that quickly develop from a small size to earning revenues of $1 billion or more. If we want more growth, then we need more highgrowth firms. So while sole proprietorships and small businesses are important for many people, especially those who want the freedom that comes from owning your own business, from a larger, economy-wide vantage point, the formation and growth of high-growth firms is paramount.

Q: Given the political gridlock this country is experiencing, how much hope do you have that the ideas you discuss will be implemented?
A: yes, there is gridlock, but the window of opportunity for constructive change opened up by the financial crisis will not close for a while—at least until the economy nears full employment. This, unfortunately, may be a long time in coming. In the meantime, we, as researchers, can give policymakers a menu of options for boosting growth. We hope our readers will agree that our proposed options are reasonable. They also have the decided virtue of having little or no budgetary impact, which gives them at least a chance of getting a serious hearing by policymakers.

Renewing the Entrepreneurial Strength of the American Economy Robert E. Litan and Carl J. Schramm
From two of the nation’s leading economic thinkers, a concrete action plan to reignite the power of the U.S. economic system
In the wake of the Great Recession and America’s listless recovery from it, economists, policymakers, and media pundits have argued at length about what has gone wrong with the American capitalist system. Even so, few constructive remedies have emerged.

The Crusader States
Malcolm Barber
The only full account of life and culture in the twelfth-century crusader states, where religious battles raged and civilizations collided
When the armies of the First Crusade wrested Jerusalem from control of the Fatimids of Egypt in 1099, they believed their victory was an evident sign of God’s favor. It was, therefore, incumbent upon them to fulfill what they understood to be God’s plan: to reestablish Christian control of Syria and Palestine. This book is devoted to the resulting settlements, the crusader states, that developed around the eastern shores of the Mediterranean and survived until Richard the Lionheart’s departure in 1192. Focusing on Jerusalem, Antioch, Tripoli, and Edessa, Malcolm Barber vividly reconstructs the crusaders’ arduous process of establishing and protecting their settlements, and the simultaneous struggle of vanquished inhabitants to adapt to life alongside their conquerors. Rich with colorful accounts of major military campaigns, the book goes much deeper, exploring in detail the culture of the crusader states—the complex indigenous inheritance; the architecture; the political, legal, and economic institutions; the ecclesiastical framework through which the crusaders perceived the world; the origins of the knights Templar and the Hospitallers; and more. With the zest of a scholar pursuing a lifelong interest, Barber presents a complete narrative and cultural history of the crusader states while setting a new standard for the term “total history.”

The Cost Disease
William J. Baumol

Why Computers Get Cheaper and Health Care Doesn’t
With Contributions by Monte Malach, Ariel Pablos-Méndez, and Lilian Gomory Wu

Why are the costs of health care and higher education rising so dramatically? How can we keep them affordable for lower- and middleincome American families?
The exploding cost of health care in the United States is a source of widespread alarm. Similarly, the upward spiral of college tuition fees is cause for serious concern. In this concise and illuminating book, the well-known economist William J. Baumol explores the causes of these seemingly intractable problems and offers a surprisingly simple explanation. Baumol identifies the “cost disease” as a major source of rapidly rising costs in service sectors of the economy. Once we understand that disease, he explains, effective responses become apparent. Baumol presents his analysis with characteristic clarity, tracing the fast-rising prices of health care and education in the United States and other major industrial nations, then examining the underlying causes, which “A provocative and timely critique of the have to do with the nature of providing labor-inten- fallacies in the conventional wisdom that sive services.

New Light Shine
Shannon Murdoch
Foreword by John Guare

Announcing the 2011 winner in the Yale Drama Series
When he was twelve, Joe snuck into the field on the edge of town and saw the Town Mayor with his sister Peregrine. This one moment has overwhelmed and transformed his life, becoming the only thing that holds any importance to him. years later, in jail for murder, Joe waits for Peregrine so that he can explain his plan for her future, a plan so intricately assembled that he has given it a name—New Light Shine. Four characters in Shannon Murdoch’s bold new play are trapped in an argument of memory that threatens to turn perception into truth. Their task is to dig through years of silence and half-truths to arrive at a future that may at last bring peace. In the ensuing struggles, disturbing questions arise—about female and child sexuality as well as the responsibilities of government and community in raising children. Selecting Murdoch’s New Light Shine from more than 800 submissions that arrived from the far reaches of the English-speaking world, contest judge John Guare praises the distinct voice of this play and its challenging subject. “I read it, put it aside, went back to it, couldn’t get it out of my head,” he recollects. “This raw, haunting, richly poetic, deeply emotional play affected me as no other entry did.”

The American Circus
Susan Weber, kenneth Ames, and Matthew Wittmann
A showcase of the “golden age” of the circus in America
The circus is a source of nostalgia for Americans of all ages, either from memories of attending P. T. Barnum’s “Greatest Show on Earth,” or through the colorful evocations in many movies, television programs, and books. Interest in the circus phenomenon is unflagging, yet there have been few publications that look closely at how the circus’s European origins were refashioned for an American audience. Lavishly illustrated and carefully researched, this volume explores how American culture, values, demography, and business practices altered the fundamental nature of the European circus, and how, by the end of the 19th century, they had transformed it into a distinctly American pastime. At the peak of its cultural significance, the circus was a sophisticated combination of theater and business, and made effective use of advertising, train travel, and hyperbole. The subjects in The American Circus reflect this complexity, ranging widely from thematic explorations of circus music and elephants to more narrowly focused studies of objects such as circus toys, souvenirs, and performers’ costumes. The book also explores the dark and even nefarious side of the circus, and its associations with marginalized dimensions of American life and culture. With contributions from leading scholars, this stylishly designed volume aims to identify the salient features of an Americanized cultural product and to analyze its appeal for American audiences of the period.

Q: Why did you write this book?
A: I was charmed by Gombrich’s Little History of the World and thought I would like to do something like it for my grandchildren Alex and Peter. I used to teach the history of science and thought what a wonderful story it could make, to start at the beginning with the stargazers in Babylon and come up to the computer age of today. People from time immemorial, in all cultures, have thought about such things as why the sun rises and sets, how a hen’s egg develops into a new chick, and why we fall ill and might be made well.

A conversation with William F. Bynum

Q: What are the great turning points—for you—in the history of science?
A: The invention of the telescope and the microscope, which allowed people to do science on things that you couldn’t even see with your naked eye. Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, which changed the way we see the living world and offered us the chance to delve into the secrets of life. Einstein’s theories of relativity, which opened up the universe to new interpretations. The coming of the modern computer, which enabled scientists to tackle questions in fields as diverse as the human genome and climate change that would have been impossible a couple of generations ago.

Q: What are the major themes of your book?
A: My book has only one theme: science as a human endeavor to understand the world. The history of science is a journey through time, illuminated on the way by great thinkers, adept experimenters, and people of enlarged curiosity. Understanding that journey tells us something about who we are as human beings.

The Life and Afterlife of a Medieval Saint André Vauchez
Translated by Michael F. Cusato

Francis of Assisi

First published in France, where it was awarded the Prix Chateaubriand, this masterful new biography of Francis is now available in English
In this towering work, André Vauchez draws on the vast body of scholarship on Francis of Assisi produced over the past forty years as well on as his own expertise in medieval hagiography to tell the most comprehensive and authoritative version of Francis’s life and afterlife published in the past half century. After a detailed and yet engaging reconstruction of Francis’s life and work, Vauchez focuses on the myriad texts—hagiographies, chronicles, sermons, personal testimonies, etc.—of writers who recorded aspects of Francis’s life and movement as they remembered them, and used those remembrances to construct a portrait of Francis relevant to their concerns. We see varying versions of his life reflected in the work of Machiavelli, Luther, Voltaire, German and English romantics, preRaphaelites, Italian nationalists, and Mussolini, and “This is a winner. It will have a great discover how peace activists, ecologists, or interreli- many readers and will dominate gious dialogists have used his example to promote their the field of Saint Francis studies for various causes.

The Richard Burton Archives, Swansea University

At about 12 noon this same day I did something beyond outrage. I bought Elizabeth the jet plane we flew in yesterday. It costs, brand new, $960,000. She was not displeased.
(30 September 1967)

I cannot find the last volume of my diary which covers about 18 months from last September. . . . It wouldn’t be very nice if it got into the wrong hands. It’s too revealing about other people, but above all about myself. It’s supposed to be for the old age of E[lizabeth] and myself. (5 January 1969) The last six or eight months have been a nightmare. I created one half and Elizabeth the other. We grated on each other to the point of separation. I had thought of going to live alone in some remote shack in a rainy place and E had thought of going to stay with Howard in Hawaii. It is of course quite impossible. We are bound together. Hoop-steeled. Whither thou goest. He said hopefully. (20 March 1969) I awoke this morning at about 7 o’clock. I stared at Elizabeth for a long time. I held her hand and kissed her very gently. Probably no woman sleeps with such childish beauty as my adorable difficult fractious intolerant wife. (15 June 1969) It has been a very bizarre few days. First of all [ . . . ] there was the affair of the diamond! It created a sensation from the word ‘go’ starting with the fact that it was bought under strange circumstances, that Onassis was our chief rival . . . that it arrived here with several armed guards one of whom had a machinegun. Elizabeth’s delight in it is a joy to behold and a very quaint thing to witness is the obvious pleasure that other people take in her wearing it. And of course, nobody can wear it better. The miraculous face and shoulders and breasts set it off to perfection.
(17 November 1969)

My lack of interest in my own career, past present or future is almost total. All my life I think I have been secretly ashamed of being an actor and the older I get the more ashamed I get. And I think it resolves itself into a firm belief that the person who’s doing the acting is somebody else. (15 August 1971)

The Richard Burton Diaries
Edited by Chris Williams
The irresistible, candid diaries of Richard Burton, published in their entirety for the first time
In his personal diaries Richard Burton is a man quite different from the one we familiarly “know” as acclaimed actor, international film star, and jet-set celebrity. From his private, handwritten pages there emerges a different person—a family man, a father, a husband, a man often troubled and always keenly observing. Understood through his own words, day to day and year to year, Burton becomes a fully rounded human being who, with a wealth of talent and a surprising burden of insecurity, confronts the peculiar challenges of a life lived largely in the spotlight. This volume publishes for the first time the surviving diaries of Richard Burton (born Richard Jenkins, 1925–1984). The diaries were written between 1939 and 1983—throughout his career and the years of his celebrated marriages to Elizabeth Taylor. Diary entries “Diaries? Autobiography? Time will appear in their original sequence, with annotations to tell, and may surprise.”—Emlyn clarify the people, places, books, and events he men- Williams, at Richard Burton’s Memorial tions. At times Burton struggles to come to terms with Service, London, August 1984 the unfulfilled potential of his life and talent. In other entries, he crows over achievements and hungers for greater challenges. He may be watching his weight, watching his drinking, or watching other men watch his Elizabeth. Always he is articulate, opinionated, and fascinating. His diaries offer a rare and fresh perspective on his own life and career, Elizabeth Taylor’s, and the glamorous world of film, theater, and celebrity that they inhabited.

Introduction to the Bible
Christine Hayes
This book examines the small library of 24 books common to all Jewish and Christian Bibles—books that preserve the efforts of diverse writers over a span of many centuries to make sense of their personal experiences and those of their people, the ancient Israelites. Professor Christine Hayes guides her readers through the complexities of this polyphonous literature that has served as a foundational pillar of Western civilization, underscoring the variety and even disparities among the voices that speak in the biblical texts. Biblical authors wrote in many contexts and responded to a sweeping range of crises and questions concerning issues that were political, economic, historical, cultural, philosophical, religious, and moral. In probing chapters devoted to each of the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, Hayes reconstructs the meanings and messages of each book and encourages a deeper appreciation of the historical and cultural settings of ancient biblical literature.

The Moral Foundations of Politics
Ian Shapiro
When do governments merit our allegiance, and when should they be denied it? Ian Shapiro explores this most enduring of political dilemmas in this innovative and engaging book. Building on his highly popular yale courses, Professor Shapiro evaluates the main contending accounts of the sources of political legitimacy. Starting with theorists of the Enlightenment, he examines the arguments put forward by utilitarians, Marxists, and theorists of the social contract. Next he turns to the anti-Enlightenment tradition that stretches from Edmund Burke to contemporary post-modernists. In the last part of the book Shapiro examines partisans and critics of democracy from Plato’s time until our own. He concludes with an assessment of democracy’s strengths and limitations as the font of political legitimacy. The book offers a lucid and accessible introduction to urgent ongoing conversations about the sources of political allegiance.

Steven B. Smith
Who ought to govern? Why should I obey the law? How should conflict be controlled? What is the proper education for a citizen and a statesman? These questions probe some of the deepest and most enduring problems that every society confronts, regardless of time and place. Today we ask the same crucial questions about law, authority, justice, and freedom that Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Tocqueville faced in previous centuries. In this lively and enlightening book, Professor Steven B. Smith introduces the wide terrain of political philosophy through the classic texts of the discipline. Works by the greatest thinkers illuminate the permanent problems of political life, Smith shows, and while we may not accept all their conclusions, it would be a mistake to overlook the relevance of their insights.

The Making of the First World War
Ian F. W. Beckett
An original and spellbinding reinterpretation of the most significant events of the Great War
Nearly a century has passed since the assassination of Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Ferdinand, yet the repercussions of the devastating global conflict that followed echo still. In this provocative book, historian Ian Beckett turns the spotlight on twelve particular events of the First World War that continue to shape the world today. Focusing on episodes both well known and scarcely remembered, Beckett tells the story of the Great War from a new perspective, stressing accident as much as strategy, the small as well as the great, the social as well as the military, and the long term as much as the short term. The Making of the First World War is global in scope. The book travels from the deliberately flooded fields of Belgium to the picture palaces of Britain’s cinema, from the idealism of Wilson’s Washington to the catastrophic German Lys offensive of 1918. While war is “This book offers genuine insight into the itself an agent of change, Beckett shows, the most signif- wider war, political and diplomatic as icant developments occur not only on the battlefields or well as military.

J. H. Elliott
An eminent historian offers rare insight into his craft and the way it has changed over his lifetime
From the vantage point of nearly sixty years devoted to research and the writing of history, J. H. Elliott steps back from his work to consider the progress of historical scholarship. From his own experiences as a historian of Spain, Europe, and the Americas, he provides a deft and sharp analysis of the work that historians do and how the field has changed since the 1950s. The author begins by explaining the roots of his interest in Spain and its past, then analyzes the challenges of writing the history of a country other than one’s own. In succeeding chapters he offers acute observations on such topics as the history of national and imperial decline, political history, biography, and art and cultural history. Elliott concludes with an assessment of changes in the approach to history over the past halfcentury, including the impact of digital technology, and argues that a comprehensive vision of the past remains essential. Professional historians, students of history, and those who read history for pleasure will find in Elliott’s delightful book a new appreciation of what goes into the shaping of historical works and how those works in turn can shape the world of thought and action.

Unexpected Patriarch
Translated by Valerie Zakovitch

yair Zakovitch

A meditation on the complex life of the father of the Twelve Tribes and how the ancient writers and storytellers shaped his identity
A powerful hero of the Bible, Jacob is also one of its most complex figures. Bible stories recounting his life often expose his deception, lies, and greed—then, puzzlingly, attempt to justify them. In this book, eminent biblical scholar yair Zakovitch presents a complete view of the patriarch, first examining Jacob and his life story as presented in the Bible, then also reconstructing the stories that the Bible writers suppressed—tales that were well-known, perhaps, but incompatible with the image of Jacob they wanted to promote. Through a work of extraordinary “literary archaeology,” Zakovitch explores the recesses of literary history, reaching back even to the stage of oral storytelling, to identify sources of Jacob’s story that preceded the book of Genesis The biblical writers were skilled mosaicists, Zakovitch shows, and their achievement was to reshape diverse “Accessible and engaging.

Wole Soyinka
A Nobel laureate offers a keen, thoughtprovoking analysis of Africa’s current crises and points the way to cultural and political renewal
A member of the unique generation of African writers and intellectuals who came of age in the last days of colonialism, Wole Soyinka has witnessed the promise of independence and lived through postcolonial failure. He deeply comprehends the pressing problems of Africa, and, an irrepressible essayist and a staunch critic of the oppressive boot, he unhesitatingly speaks out. In this magnificent new work, Soyinka offers a wideranging inquiry into Africa’s culture, religion, history, imagination, and identity. He seeks to understand how the continent’s history is entwined with the histories of others, while exploring Africa’s truest assets: “its humanity, the quality and valuation of its own existence, and modes of managing its environment—both physical and intangible (which includes the spiritual).” Fully grasping the extent of Africa’s most challenging issues, Soyinka nevertheless refuses defeatism. With eloquence he analyzes problems ranging from the meaning of the past to the threat of theocracy. He asks hard questions about racial attitudes, inter-ethnic and religious violence, the viability of nations whose boundaries were laid out by outsiders, African identity on the continent and among displaced Africans, and more. Soyinka’s exploration of Africa relocates the continent in the reader’s imagination and maps a course toward an African future of peace and affirmation.

Q: Why Geronimo?
A: Geronimo is the best-known North American Indian of all time. His name continues to resonate with the public even though he was a lesser leader than most other Indian leaders. A major biography has not appeared since 1976, and I wanted to do for Geronimo what I did for Sitting Bull: discover the real person within his own culture.

A conversation with Robert M. Utley

Q: How does this compare to your biography of Sitting Bull, The Lance and the Shield?
A: Sitting Bull was less challenging because of ample documentation, and I believe the real person does emerge. It remains my best of sixteen books unless eclipsed by Geronimo. I think I captured the real Geronimo, but the public will decide.

Q: What made Geronimo tick?
A: Many influences made Geronimo tick, not least his culture, which was not only spiritual but also centered on a raid-and-war lifestyle. In the latter he strove to become the greatest but never succeeded. After Geronimo surrendered and spent twenty-three years as a prisoner of war, other influences made him tick into a different person—a celebrity in the white man’s world. In this he excelled.

Q: What was the most moving thing you learned in researching Geronimo’s life?
A: The most moving, or surprising, revelation was that in Geronimo’s last two years of freedom, his mastery of Mexican geography allowed him to elude his pursuers so constantly that his greatest achievement in war was in avoiding war.

The Adventurous Life and Tragic Confession of John E. Cook Steven Lubet
The first full investigation of John Brown’s trusted co-conspirator and his betrayal of the doomed Harper’s Ferry raiders
John Brown’s Spy tells the nearly unknown story of John E. Cook, the person John Brown trusted most with the details of his plans to capture the Harper’s Ferry armory in 1859. Cook was a poet, a marksman, a boaster, a dandy, a fighter, and a womanizer—as well as a spy. In a life of only thirty years, he studied law in Connecticut, fought border ruffians in kansas, served as an abolitionist mole in Virginia, took white hostages during the Harper’s Ferry raid, and almost escaped to freedom. For ten days after the infamous raid, he was the most hunted man in America with a staggering $1,000 bounty on his head. Tracking down the unexplored circumstances of John Cook’s life and disastrous end, Steven Lubet is the first to uncover the full extent of Cook’s contributions to Brown’s scheme. Without Cook’s participation, the “Considering all the ink spilled on the great author contends, Brown might never have been able adventures of John Brown by generations to launch the insurrection that sparked the Civil War. of American historians, it is curious Had Cook remained true to the cause, history would that so little has been written about the have remembered him as a hero.

The Civil War and American Art
Eleanor Jones Harvey
A sweeping survey of the impact of the Civil War on American painting and photography in the 19th century
The American Civil War was arguably the first modern war. Its grim reality, captured through the new medium of photography, was laid bare. American artists could not approach the conflict with the conventions of European history painting, which glamorized the hero on the battlefield. Instead, many artists found ways to weave the war into works of art that considered the human narrative—the daily experiences of soldiers, slaves, and families left behind. Artists and writers wrestled with the ambiguity and anxiety of the Civil War and used landscape imagery to give voice to their misgivings as well as their hopes for themselves and the nation. This important book looks at the range of artwork created before, during, and following the war, in the years between 1859 and 1876. Author Eleanor Jones Harvey examines the implications of the war on landscape and genre painting, history painting, and photography, as represented in some of the greatest masterpieces of 19th-century American art. The book features extensive quotations from men and women alive during the war years, alongside text by literary figures including Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman, among many others.

Jewish continuity always hinged on uttered and written words, on an expanding maze of interpretations, debates, and disagreements, and on a unique human rapport.

There is a tangible sense in which Abraham and Sarah,

Jews and Words
Amos Oz and Fania Oz-Salzberger
A celebrated novelist and an acclaimed historian of ideas, father and daughter, unravel the chain of words at the core of Jewish life, history, and culture
Why are words so important to Jews? Novelist Amos Oz and historian Fania Oz-Salzberger roam the gamut of Jewish history to explain the integral relationship of Jews and words. Through a blend of storytelling and scholarship, conversation and argument, father and daughter tell the tales behind Judaism’s most enduring names, adages, disputes, texts, and quips. These words, they argue, compose the chain connecting Abraham with the Jews of every subsequent generation. Framing the discussion within such topics as continuity, women, timelessness, and individualism, Oz and Oz-Salzberger deftly engage Jewish personalities across the ages, from the unnamed, possibly female author of the Song of Songs through obscure Talmudists to contemporary writers. They suggest that Jewish continuity, “Jews and Words is a conversation between even Jewish uniqueness, depends not on central places, two people who love each other, informed monuments, heroic personalities, or rituals but rather by a wonderful sense of humor and on written words and an ongoing conversation between a passionate yet measured analysis of the generations.

Inventing the Christmas Tree
Bernd Brunner
Translated by Benjamin A. Smith

A charming history of the beloved Christmas tree, how it came out of the forest into the house, and how it has emerged as a global tradition
A colorfully decorated Christmas tree, lit with twinkling lights, provokes awe and delight. We understand the lighted tree as a central symbol of the Christmas season, but what are the roots of the tradition? Who first thought to bedeck a tree, to bring it inside? How and where did the local activity grow into a widespread tradition, and how has the Christmas tree traveled across time and continents? Bernd Brunner’s brief history—enriched by a selection of delightful and unusual historical illustrations—spans many centuries and cultures to illuminate the mysteries of the Christmas tree and its enduring hold on the human imagination. Tracing various European traditions from the Middle Ages forward, Brunner finds that only in the nineteenth century did Christmas trees become common in European family homes. In North America, the imported custom soon fascinated, though some found the tree not quite compatible with a Puritan mindset. Brunner explores how the Christmas tree entered mainstream American culture and how in recent times it has become globally popular. He introduces Jacqueline kennedy’s Nutcracker Tree in the White House, trees used to celebrate the New year in Turkey, and the world’s most expensive Christmas tree, erected in Abu Dhabi. The author also considers the place of the artificial tree and the ecological dimensions of the Christmas tree trade. A book rich with anecdote and insight, Inventing the Christmas Tree will enchant a wide audience.

This landmark biography of celebrated Romantic poet John keats explodes entrenched conceptions of him as a delicate, overly sensitive, tragic figure. Instead, Nicholas Roe reveals the real flesh-and-blood poet: a passionate man driven by ambition but prey to doubt, suspicion, and jealousy; sure of his vocation while bitterly resentful of the obstacles that blighted his career; devoured by sexual desire and frustration; and in thrall to alcohol and opium. Through unparalleled original research, Roe arrives at a fascinating reassessment of keats’s entire life, from his early years at keats’s Livery Stables through his harrowing battle with tuberculosis and death at age 25. Zeroing in on crucial turning points, Roe finds in the locations of keats’s poems new keys to the nature of his imaginative quest.

In the early sixth century, a merchant set out from Egypt to sail to the southern coast of India. Like earlier visitors from the Roman Empire, he had undertaken the long journey to bring home peppercorns from the Malabar coastal region, and he called India the land where “pepper grows.” The name of the sixth-century traveler was Cosmas, and because of his journey to India he is known to historians as Cosmas Indicopleustes,

Cosmas the Indian Navigator. Cosmas was a Christian, and in his Christian Topography he reports on Christian communities discovered in his travels. He spent some time in Malabar, the southwestern coast of India, in present-day Kerala, where he found a church with a bishop appointed from Persia. He also visited Socotra, an island in the Arabian Sea, approximately two hundred miles south of Yemen and east of Somalia, where there were Christians with clergy who received their ordination from Persia. But even more striking, he got as far as Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and there he discovered a church composed of “Persian Christians” performing, in his words, the “full ecclesiastical rite.” Our histories tell us little about the mission to the Far East. As the spread of Christianity to northern Europe was the work of Latinspeaking monks, and the spread of Christianity among the Slavs was the work of Greek-speaking monks, so the spread of Christianity to the east was the work of Syriac-speaking monks from the Church of the East.

Hitler’s Philosophers
yvonne Sherratt
A gripping account of the philosophers who supported Hitler’s rise to power and those whose lives were wrecked by his regime
Hitler had a dream to rule the world, not only with the gun but also with his mind. He saw himself as a “philosopher-leader” and astonishingly gained the support of many intellectuals of his time. In this compelling book, yvonne Sherratt explores Hitler’s relationship with philosophers and uncovers cruelty, ambition, violence, and betrayal where least expected—at the heart of Germany’s ivory tower. Sherratt investigates international archives, discovering evidence back to the 1920s of Hitler’s vulgarization of noble thinkers of the past, including kant, Nietzsche, and Darwin. She reveals how philosophers of the 1930s eagerly collaborated to lend the Nazi regime a cloak of respectability: Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, and a host of others. And while these eminent men sanctioned slaughter, Semitic thinkers like Walter Benjamin and opponents like kurt Huber were hunted down or murdered. Many others, such as Theodor Adorno and Hannah Arendt, were forced to flee as refugees. The book portrays their fates, to be dispersed across the world as the historic edifice of Jewish-German culture was destroyed by Hitler. Sherratt not only confronts the past; she also tracks down chilling evidence of continuing Nazi sympathy in Western Universities today.
yVONNE SHERRATT was educated at Cambridge University, was a fellow of Corpus Christi College and most recently taught at New College, Oxford. She is author of Adorno’s Positive Dialectic and Continental Philosophy of Social and Political Science.

Animal communities in the path of these sediment-laden flows were instantly engulfed, the inhabitants “frozen” in the last moment of their lives. Amazingly, many of the creatures lost in this ancient catastrophe were almost perfectly preserved through the eons, fossilized in a thick series of muds now known as the Hunsrück Slate west of the Rhine Valley in western Germany.

The Great Charles Dickens Scandal
Michael Slater
A page-turning account of the scandal that almost ruined Dickens and how the story disappeared from history
Charles Dickens was regarded as the great proponent of hearth and home in Victorian Britain, but in 1858 this image was nearly shattered. With the breakup of his marriage that year, rumors of a scandalous relationship he may have conducted with the young actress Ellen “Nelly” Ternan flourished. For the remaining twelve years of his life, Dickens managed to contain the gossip. After his death, surviving family members did the same. But when the author’s last living son died in 1934, there was no one to discourage rampant speculation. Dramatic revelations came from every corner—over Nelly’s role as Dickens’s mistress, their clandestine meetings, and even about his possibly fathering an illegitimate child by her. This book presents the most complete account of the scandal and ensuing cover-up ever published. Drawing on the author’s letters and other archival sources not previously available, Dickens scholar Michael Slater investigates what Dickens did or may have done, then traces the way the scandal was elaborated over succeeding generations. Slater shows how various writers concocted outlandish yet plausible theories while newspapers and book publishers vied for sensational revelations. With its tale of intrigue and a cast of wellknown figures from Thackeray and Shaw to Orwell and Edmund Wilson, this engaging book will delight not only Dickens fans but also readers who appreciate tales of mystery, cover-up, and clever detection.

War, Climate Change and Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century Geoffrey Parker
How to account for decades of worldwide war, revolution, and human suffering in the seventeenth century? A master historian uncovers the disturbing answer.
Revolutions, droughts, famines, invasions, wars, regicides, government collapses—the calamities of the mid-seventeenth century were unprecedented in both frequency and extent. The effects of what historians call the “General Crisis” extended from England to Japan, from the Russian Empire to sub-Saharan Africa. The Americas, too, did not escape the turbulence of the time. In this meticulously researched volume, master historian Geoffrey Parker presents the firsthand testimony of men and women who saw and suffered from the sequence of political, economic, and social crises between 1618 to the late 1680s. Parker also deploys the scientific evidence of climate change during this period. His discoveries revise entirely our understanding of the General Crisis: changes in prevailing weather patterns, especially longer winters and cooler and wetter summers, disrupted growing seasons and destroyed harvests. This in turn brought hunger, malnutrition, and disease; and as material conditions worsened, wars, rebellions, and revolutions rocked the world. Parker’s demonstration of the link between climate change, war, and catastrophe 350 years ago stands as an extraordinary historical achievement. And the implications of his study are equally important: are we adequately prepared—or even preparing—for the catastrophes that climate change brings?

number of ground troops he had in Afghanistan tied up guarding prisoners. That suited the Bush administration. It had plans to build a detention center in the Pentagon’s own time zone, at the U.S. naval base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A new enemy would face a special reckoning, trial by military commission, that could see prisoners prosecuted, convicted, and executed at President Bush’s command. Officials called it “rough justice.” Guantanamo would be al-Qaeda’s Nuremberg. Yet Guantanamo held no Mullah Omar, no Ayman al-Zawahiri, no Osama bin Laden. A handful of real al-Qaeda commanders would fall into American hands—Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi Binalshibh, and the terrorist entrepreneur who conceived the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The Bush White House, however, would decide that these men were far too important to put on trial. They were sent instead to years of secret detention and sometimes brutal interrogation within a clandestine prison network the CIA operated overseas. Despite pledging to bring the 9/11conspirators to justice, President Bush hid them. Pentagon prosecutors, ordered to create a justice system from scratch, scoured their prisoner lists for suitable defendants. Bin Laden had gotten away. But they had his driver.

The Terror Courts
Jess Bravin

Rough Justice at Guantanamo Bay

The first inside account of America’s continuing legal experiment at Guantanamo Bay—a permanent, offshore justice system designed to assure convictions by denying constitutional rights
Soon after the September 11 attacks in 2001, the United States captured hundreds of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan and around the world. By the following January the first of these prisoners arrived at the U.S. military’s prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they were subject to President George W. Bush’s executive order authorizing their trial by military commissions. Jess Bravin, the Wall Street Journal’s Supreme Court correspondent, was there within days of the prison’s opening, and has continued ever since to cover the U.S. effort to create a parallel justice system for enemy aliens. A maze of legal, political, and moral issues has stood in the way of justice—issues often raised by military prosecutors who found themselves torn between duty to the chain of command and their commitment to fundamental American values. While much has been written about Guantanamo and brutal detention practices following 9/11, Bravin is the first to go inside the Pentagon’s prosecution team to expose the real-world legal consequences of those policies. Bravin describes cases undermined by inadmissible evidence obtained through torture, clashes between military lawyers and administration appointees, and political interference in criminal prosecutions that would be shocking within the traditional civilian and military justice systems. With the Obama administration planning to try the alleged 9/11 conspirators at Guantanamo—and vindicate the legal experiment the Bush administration could barely get off the ground—The Terror Courts could not be more timely.

JESS BRAVIN, Supreme Court correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, has covered the Guantanamo military commissions since 2001. He is the author of Squeaky: The Life and Times of Lynette Fromme and a contributor to several books, including Crimes of War 2.0 and Violence in America: An Encyclopedia.

Distant Intimacy

A Friendship in the Age of the Internet Frederic Raphael and Joseph Epstein
A dazzling, year-long, transatlantic correspondence between two men of letters who have never met and yet are friends
This delightful book of writer-to-writer correspondence joins a full shelf of volumes in the genre, yet it is perhaps the first set of such letters ever transacted via the Internet. Also unusual, at least for correspondents in the twenty-first century, is that Frederic Raphael and Joseph Epstein have never met, nor even spoken to each other. But what is most rare about this book is the authors’ abundant talent for entertaining their readers, as much when the topic is grave as when it is droll. Raphael and Epstein agree to embark on a year-long correspondence, but other rules are few. As the weeks progress, their friendship grows, and each inspires the other. Almost any topic, large or small, is considered: they write of schooling, parents, wives, children, literary tastes, enmities, delights, and beliefs. They discuss their professional lives as writers, their skills or want of them, respective experiences with editors, producers, and actors, and, in priceless passages scattered throughout the letters, they assess such celebrated figures as Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens, Sontag/Leibowitz, Malcolm Gladwell, Harold Bloom, George Steiner, Harold Pinter, Isaiah Berlin, George Weidenfeld, and Robert Gottlieb, among many others. Epstein and Raphael capture a year in their letters, but more, they invite us into an intimate world where literature, cinema, and art are keys to self-discovery and friendship.
FREDERIC RAPHAEL has written twenty-two novels, including The Glittering Prizes, made into a BBC television series, and several works of nonfiction. He is also an Oscar-winning screenwriter. He divides his time between London and the Perigord. JOSEPH EPSTEIN is the author of more than twenty books, including Fred Astaire, published by yale University Press, and most recently Gossip: The Untrivial Pursuit. He lives in Chicago.

The Death and Life of an Environmental Tradition Aaron Sachs
How a forgotten environmental tradition of the pre-Civil War era may prove powerfully useful to us now
Perhaps America’s best environmental idea was not the national park but the garden cemetery, a use of space that quickly gained popularity in the mid-nineteenth century. Such spaces of repose brought key elements of the countryside into rapidly expanding cities, making nature accessible to all and serving to remind visitors of the natural cycles of life. In this unique interdisciplinary blend of historical narrative, cultural criticism, and poignant memoir, Aaron Sachs argues that American cemeteries embody a forgotten landscape tradition that has much to teach us in our current moment of environmental crisis. Until the trauma of the Civil War, many Americans sought to shape society into what they thought of as an Arcadia—not an Eden where fruit simply fell off the tree, but a public garden that depended on an ethic of “A book of great ambition that is communal care, and whose sense of beauty and repose charting a changing consciousness related directly to an acknowledgement of mortality on the American scene as articulated and limitation.

Arcadian America

The Large and Unconventional Life of Mrs. Paul Robeson Barbara Ransby
The first biography of the bold, principled, and fiercely independent woman who defied convention to make her own mark on the world
Eslanda “Essie” Cardozo Goode Robeson lived a colorful and amazing life. Her career and commitments took her many places: colonial Africa in 1936, the front lines of the Spanish Civil War, the founding meeting of the United Nations, Nazi-occupied Berlin, Stalin’s Russia, and China two months after Mao’s revolution. She was a woman of unusual accomplishment—an anthropologist, a prolific journalist, a tireless advocate of women’s rights, an outspoken anti-colonial and antiracist activist, and an internationally sought-after speaker. yet historians for the most part have confined Essie to the role of Mrs. Paul Robeson, a wife hidden in the large shadow cast by her famous husband. In this masterful book, biographer Barbara Ransby refocuses attention on Essie, one of the most important and fascinating black women of the twentieth century. Chronicling Essie’s eventful life, the book explores her influence on her husband’s early career and how she later achieved her own unique political voice. Essie’s friendships with a host of literary icons and world leaders, her renown as a fierce defender of justice, her defiant testimony before Senator Joseph McCarthy’s infamous anti-communist committee, and her unconventional open marriage that endured for over 40 years—all are brought to light in the pages of this inspiring biography. Essie’s indomitable personality shines through, as do her contributions to United States and twentieth-century world history.

The Great Agnostic

Robert Ingersoll and American Freethought

A biography that restores America’s foremost nineteenth-century champion of reason and secularism to our still contested twenty-firstcentury public square
During the Gilded Age, which saw the dawn of America’s enduring culture wars, Robert Green Ingersoll was known as “the Great Agnostic.” The nation’s most famous orator, he raised his voice on behalf of Enlightenment reason, secularism, and the separation of church and state with a vigor unmatched since America’s revolutionary generation. When he died in 1899, even his religious enemies acknowledged that he might have aspired to the U.S. presidency had he been willing to mask his opposition to religion. To the question that retains its controversial power today—was the United States founded as a Christian nation?—Ingersoll answered an emphatic no.

The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age Susan Crawford
Why Americans are paying much more for Internet access, and getting much less
Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries, including Japan and South korea, to pass us in both speed and price of broadband. This steady slide backward not only deprives consumers of vital services needed in a competitive employment and business market—it also threatens the economic future of the nation. This important book by leading telecommunications policy expert Susan Crawford explores why Americans are now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed Internet access. Using the “Crawford shows us that the railroad 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as barons of today run cable companies. a lens, Crawford examines how we have created the These monopolies raise prices, stifle biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a competition, and drag the U.S. further century ago.

The Good Rich

The Curious History of Wealth, Inequality, and American Democracy Robert F. Dalzell, Jr.
Is it possible for a democracy to include a tiny group of citizens who are vastly richer than the rest of us? What does that do to our cherished ideal of democratic equality?
This timely and provocative book addresses a great paradox at the core of the American Dream: a passionate belief in the principles of democracy combined with an equally passionate celebration of wealth. Americans treasure an open, equal society, yet we also admire those fortunate few who amass riches on a scale that undermines social equality. In today’s era of “too big to fail” investment banks, “vulture capitalist” hedge fund managers, Internet fortunes, and a growing concern over inequality in American life, should we cling to both parts of the paradox? Can we?

To understand the problems that vast individual fortunes pose for democratic values, Robert Dalzell presents an intriguing cast of wealthy individuals from colonial times to the present, including George “Among its many virtues, the book’s Washington, one of the richest Americans of his day, timely message should have an impact the “robber baron” John D. Rockefeller, and Oprah on the current debate over wealth Winfrey, for all of whom extreme wealth is inextricably and inequality. . . . I much admire the tied to social concerns.

People and Nature in the Modern World Stephen R. kellert

An eloquent explanation of why human beings need to connect with nature and what is lost when they are disconnected from the natural world
Human health and well-being are inextricably linked to nature; our connection to the natural world is part of our biological inheritance. In this engaging book, a pioneer in the field of biophilia—the study of human beings’ inherent affinity for nature—sets forth the first full account of nature’s powerful influence on the quality of our lives. Stephen kellert asserts that our capacities to think, feel, communicate, create, and find meaning in life all depend upon our relationship to nature. And yet our increasing disconnection and alienation from the natural world reflect how seriously we have undervalued its important role in our lives. Weaving scientific findings together with personal experiences and perspectives, kellert explores specific human tendencies—including affection, aversion, “No one has learned more about the intellect, control, aesthetics, exploitation, spirituality, intricate relations of the human to and communication—to discover how they are influ- nature, as expressed in our architecture, enced by our relationship with nature.

How ambition, once considered a pernicious vice, became a celebrated virtue that defines American character
From rags to riches, log house to White House, enslaved to liberator, ghetto to CEO, ambition fuels the American Dream. Americans are driven by ambition. yet at the time of the nation’s founding, ambition was viewed as a dangerous vice, everything from “a canker on the soul” to the impetus for original sin. This engaging book explores ambition’s surprising transformation, tracing attitudes from classical antiquity to early modern Europe to the New World and America’s founding. From this broad historical perspective, William Casey king deepens our understanding of the American mythos and offers a striking reinterpretation of the introduction to the Declaration of Independence.

A colonial woman’s riveting personal journal and correspondence opens a window on America’s first-generation evangelicals

A combined history of commerce and disease, and their disturbing propensity for traveling together
Much as we take comfort in the belief that modern medicine and public health tactics can protect us from horrifying contagious diseases, such faith is dangerously unfounded. So demonstrates Mark Harrison in this pathbreaking investigation of the intimate connections between trade and disease throughout modern history. For centuries commerce has been the single most important factor in spreading diseases to different parts of the world, the author shows, and today the same is true. But in today’s global world, commodities and germs are circulating with unprecedented speed. Beginning with the plagues that ravaged Eurasia in the fourteenth century, Harrison charts both the passage of disease and the desperate measures to prevent it. He examines the emergence of public health in the Western world, its subsequent development elsewhere, “A book of impressive range and and a recurring pattern of misappropriation of quar- originality, well researched and antines, embargoes, and other sanitary measures for well written.”—Michael Worboys, political or economic gain—even for use as weapons co-author of Mad Dogs and Englishmen: of war.

Blindly
Claudio Magris
Translated by Anne Milano Appel

Hailed as a masterpiece when first published in Italy, Magris’s innovative novel is now available to English-language readers
Who is the mysterious narrator of Blindly? Clearly a recluse and a fugitive, but what more of him can we discern? Baffled by the events of his own life, he muses, “When I write, and even now when I think back on it, I hear a kind of buzzing, blathered words that I can barely understand, gnats droning around a table lamp, that I have to continually swat away with my hand, so as not to lose the thread.” Claudio Magris, one of Europe’s leading authors and cultural philosophers, offers as narrator of Blindly a madman. yes, but a pazzo lucido, a lucid madman, a single narrative voice populated by various characters. He is Jorgen Jorgenson, the nineteenth-century adventurer who became king of Iceland but was condemned to forced labor in the Antipodes. He is also Comrade Cippico, a militant anti-communist, imprisoned for years in Tito’s gulag on the island Goli Otok. And he is the many partisans, prisoners, sailors, and stowaways who have encountered the perils of travel, war, and adventure. In a shifting choral monologue—part confession, part psychiatric session—a man remembers (invents, falsifies, hides, screams out) his life, a voyage into the nether regions of history, and in particular the twentieth century.
CLAUDIO MAGRIS has been a professor of Germanic studies at the University of Trieste since 1978.

Tales of a Severed Head
Rachida Madani
Translated by Marilyn Hacker

A brilliant retelling of the classic Arab tale of Scheherazade, set in the present day
This volume brings Moroccan poet Rachida Madani’s remarkable poems to English-language readers for the first time. In Tales of a Severed Head, Madani addresses present-day issues surrounding the role of women in society—issues not unlike those explored a thousand years ago in the enduring collection of Arab tales known as The Thousand and One Nights. In the ancient tales, the insanely distrustful king Shehriyar vows to marry a new wife each night and have her beheaded the next morning, thus eliminating the risk of being cuckolded. Through the courage and wit of young Scheherazade, who volunteers to be the king’s bride and then invents the legendary tales that go on for a thousand and one nights, Shehriyar is healed of his obsession and the kingdom’s virgins are saved. Like her brave-hearted predecessor, Madani’s modern-day Scheherazade is fighting for her own life as well as the lives of her fellow sufferers. But in today’s world, the threat comes as much from poverty, official corruption, the abuse of human rights, and the lingering effects of colonialism as from the power wielded by individual men. Madani weaves a tale of contemporary resistance, and once again language provides a potent weapon.
RACHIDA MADANI, a native of Morocco, has published several volumes of poetry in French, a language she taught for thirty years. A lifelong political militant, she expresses her resistance “not by shouting slogans and waving banners. I fight with my words.” She lives in Tangiers.

The Brazen Plagiarist
Selected Poems kiki Dimoula
Translated by Cecile Inglessis Margellos and Rika Lesser

A moving collection of poems by internationally acclaimed Greek poet Kiki Dimoula, brilliantly translated into English
kiki Dimoula’s poetry—the most praised and prized in contemporary Greek literature—is a paradox, both mysteriously intricate and widely popular. Her magic lens defamiliarizes all that is familiar, compressing distances between far-flung realms, conflating concrete and abstract, literal and metaphorical, physical and metaphysical. Exacting and oracular at once, Dimoula superimposes absurdity on rationality, caustic irony on dark melancholy. This first English translation of a wide selection of poems from across Dimoula’s oeuvre brings together some of her most beguiling, arresting, and moving work. The demands on her translators are considerable. Dimoula plays with the Greek language, melds its levels of diction, challenges its grammar and syntax, and bends its words, by twisting their very shape and “Dimoula’s work is at once accessible meaning. Cecile Inglessis Margellos and Rika Lesser, in its themes: notably grief, that of Dimoula’s award-winning translators, have re-created the widow in particular, mortality, an her style’s uncanny effect of refraction: when plunged agnostic petitioning of the gods, and a into the water of her poetry, all these bent words sud- complex interrogation of the universe.

A Life Avi Shilon

Menachem Begin
Translated by Danielle Zilberberg and yoram Sharett
This riveting biography is the first to provide a satisfactory answer to the question, Who was Menachim Begin? Based on wide-ranging research among archival documents and on testimonials and interviews with Begin’s closest advisers, the book presents a detailed new portrait ofIsrael’s founding leader. Among the many topics Avi Shilon holds up to new light are Begin’s antagonistic relationship with David Ben-Gurion, his controversial role in the 1982 Lebanon War, his unique leadership style, the changes in his ideology over the years, and the mystery behind the total silence he maintained at the end of his career. Through Begin’s remarkable life, the book also recounts the history of the right-wing segment of Israeli society, a story essential to understanding the Israel of today.
AVI SHILON is an independent journalist and a Ph.D. student at Bar Ilan University. He is the op-ed page editor for Israel Hayom, Israel’s most widely read and circulated newspaper. He lives in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The Genius

Elijah of Vilna and the Making of Modern Judaism Eliyahu Stern
Elijah ben Solomon, the “Genius of Vilna,” was perhaps the best-known and most understudied figure in modern Jewish history. This book offers a new narrative of Jewish modernity based on Elijah’s life and influence.

While the experience of Jews in modernity has often been described as a process of Western European secularization—with Jews becoming citizens of Western nation-states, congregants of reformed synagogues, and assimilated members of society—Stern uses Elijah’s story to highlight a different theory of modernization for European life. Religious movements such as Hasidism and anti-secular institutions such as the yeshiva emerged from the same democratization of knowledge and privatization of religion that gave rise to secular and universal movements and institutions. Claimed by traditionalists, enlighteners, Zionists, and the Orthodox, Elijah’s genius and its afterlife capture an all-embracing interpretation of the modern Jewish experience. Through the story of the “Vilna Gaon,” Stern presents a new model for understanding modern Jewish history and more generally the place of traditionalism and religious radicalism in modern Western life and thought.

Announcing the inaugural volume of the Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization, a landmark project to catalogue, preserve, and share Jewish culture and civilization from around the world, from biblical times to the twenty-first century.

The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization Volume 10: 1973–2005
Edited by Deborah Dash Moore and Nurith Gertz
This first published volume in the Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization introduces readers to the diversity of Jewish civilization since 1973. The volume vividly demonstrates the interaction of Jewish ideas and themes across continents and languages, revealing the complex transnational character of Jewish life and cultural production. With hundreds of examples from literature, visual arts, and popular culture, as well as intellectual and spiritual works, the volume adopts a deliberately pluralistic perspective. High and low, elite and popular, folk and mass, famous and obscure—all have a place in this groundbreaking anthology. Readers will quickly come to appreciate the impact on Jewish culture of major social, political, and economic events during the past quarter century—the feminist movement, Israeli politics after the yom kippur War, Russian Jewish emigration, the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, the rise of identity politics in the United States, South American revolutions and dictatorships, and North African emigration to France, among many others. Offering a rich encounter with an array of expressions of Jewish identity, the anthology reflects the exuberance, diversity, and vigor of Jewish culture in the decades since 1973.

The Zelmenyaners
A Family Saga Moyshe kulbak
Translated by Hillel Halkin Introduction and Notes by Sasha Senderovich

◆◆

neW yiddish librAry series

This is the first complete English-language translation of a classic of yiddish literature, one of the great comic novels of the twentieth century. The Zelmenyaners describes the travails of a Jewish family in Minsk that is torn asunder by the new Soviet reality. Four generations are depicted in riveting and often uproarious detail as they face the profound changes brought on by the demands of the Soviet regime and its collectivist, radical secularism. The resultant intergenerational showdowns—including disputes over the introduction of electricity, radio, or electric trolley—are rendered with humor, pathos, and a finely controlled satiric pen. Moyshe kulbak, a contemporary of the Soviet Jewish writer Isaac Babel, picks up where Sholem Aleichem left off a generation before, exploring in this book the transformation of Jewish life.

MOySHE kULBAk (1896–1937) was a leading yiddish modernist poet, novelist, and dramatist. Arrested in 1937 during the wave of Stalinist repression that hit the Minsk yiddish writers and cultural activists with particular vehemence, and given a perfunctory show trial, kulbak was shot at the age of 41. HILLEL HALkIN, an acclaimed translator of Hebrew and yiddish fiction, is the author, most recently, of Across the Sabbath River: In Search of a Lost Tribe of Israel and Yehuda Halevi. SASHA SENDEROVICH holds a Ph.D. from the department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University.

The Mysteries of Artemis of Ephesos

◆◆

synkrisis

Cult, Polis, and Change in the Graeco-Roman World Guy MacLean Rogers

Artemis of Ephesos was one of the most widely worshiped deities of the Graeco-Roman World. Her temple, the Artemision, was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and for more than half a millennium people flocked to Ephesos to learn the great secret of the mysteries and sacrifices that were celebrated every year on her birthday. In this work Guy MacLean Rogers sets out the evidence for the celebration of Artemis’s mysteries against the background of the remarkable urban development of the city during the Roman Empire and then proposes an entirely new theory about the great secret that was revealed to initiates into Artemis’s mysteries. The revelation of that secret helps to explain not only the success of Artemis’s cult and polytheism itself but, more surprisingly, the demise of both and the success of Christianity. Contrary to many anthropological and scientific theories, the history of polytheism, including the celebration of Artemis’s mysteries, is best understood as a Darwinian tale of adaptation, competition, and change.

GUy MACLEAN ROGERS is kemper Professor of History and Classics at Wellesley College. He is the author of The Sacred Identity of Ephesos: Foundation Myths of a Roman City, Alexander: The Ambiguity of Greatness, and Roots of the Western Tradition: A Short History of the Ancient World.

Before Religion
Brent Nongbri

A History of a Modern Concept

A fascinating exploration of religion as an invention of the modern world
For much of the past two centuries, religion has been understood as a universal phenomenon, a part of the “natural” human experience that is essentially the same across cultures and throughout history. Individual religions may vary through time and geographically, but there is an element, religion, that is to be found in all cultures during all time periods. Taking apart this assumption, Brent Nongbri shows that the idea of religion as a sphere of life distinct from politics, economics, or science is a recent development in European history—a development that has been projected outward in space and backward in time with the result that religion now appears to be a natural and necessary part of our world. Examining a wide array of ancient writings, Nongbri demonstrates that in antiquity, there was no conceptual arena that could be designated as “religious” as opposed “This book provides a wonderfully clear to “secular.” Surveying representative episodes from a and concise account of our modern two-thousand-year period, while constantly attending notion of ‘religion.’ Written with to the concrete social, political, and colonial contexts erudition and insight, it challenges us that shaped relevant works of philosophers, legal theo- to rethink everything we have thought rists, missionaries, and others, Nongbri offers a concise about religions, past and present.”—Peter and readable account of the emergence of the concept Harrison, The University of Queensland of religion.

The Letters of T.S. Eliot

Volume 3: 1926–28 Edited by Valerie Eliot and John Haffenden
In the period covered by this richly detailed collection, T.S. Eliot was to set a new course for his life and work. The demands of his professional life as writer and editor became more complex and exacting. The celebrated but financially pressed periodical he had been editing since 1922—The Criterion: A Literary Review—switched between being a quarterly and a monthly; in addition to writing numerous essays and editorials, lectures, reviews, introductions and prefaces, his letters show Eliot involving himself wholeheartedly in the business of his new career as a publisher. This correspondence with friends and mentors vividly documents all the stages of Eliot’s personal and artistic transformation during these crucial years, the continuing anxieties of his private life, and the forging of his public reputation.
VALERIE ELIOT is the widow and literary executor of the Nobel Prize–winning poet T.S. Eliot. She lives in London.

Johnson and Boswell

A Biography of Friendship John B. Radner
In this book John Radner examines the fluctuating, close, and complex friendship enjoyed by Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, from the day they met in 1763 to the day when Boswell published his monumental Life of Johnson. Drawing on everything Johnson and Boswell wrote to and about the other, this book charts the psychological currents that flowed between them as they scripted and directed their time together, questioned and advised, confided and held back. It explores the key longings and shifting tensions that distinguished this from each man’s other long-term friendships, while it tracks in detail how Johnson and Boswell brought each other to life, challenged and confirmed each other, and used their deepening friendship to define and assess themselves. It tells a story that reaches through its specificity into the dynamics of most sustained friendships, with their breaks and reconnections, their silences and fresh intimacies, their continuities and transformations.

Flaubert’s “Gueuloir”
Michael Fried

On Madame Bovary and Salammbô

A leading art critic and historian offers a new and revolutionary analysis of Flaubert’s literary style
Gustave Flaubert, one of the key figures in literary modernism, is famous for his determined pursuit of stylistic perfection. This notably involved the attempt to eliminate from his prose all sorts of assonances, consonances, and repetitions, in large measure by reading his sentences in a loud voice—the test of what he called the gueuloir (from gueuler, to yell). And yet when one examines closely the prose in his first novel, Madame Bovary, one becomes aware of a host of repetitions that appear to go directly against his stylistic ideal, revealing a level of “resistance” to that ideal at the very heart of his writing process. In this book Michael Fried presents two long essays: the first on Madame Bovary, in which the problem of critical understanding posed by this discovery is explored in depth; and the second on Flaubert’s remarkable second novel, Salammbô, in which the conflict between the drive for perfection and certain automatistic tendencies in Madame Bovary is replaced by a determination to extend the rule of authorial will throughout every aspect and level of the text. Furthermore, drawing on his wide knowledge of nineteenth-century French painting and criticism, Fried suggests that there exist strong analogies between what goes on in Flaubert’s writing and what can be seen to take place in the art of Courbet, Manet, and Legros.

Black Square

Malevich and the Origin of Suprematism
Translated by Marian Schwartz

Aleksandra Shatskikh

An in-depth exploration of Malevich’s pivotal painting, its context and its significance
kazimir Malevich’s painting Black Square is one of the twentieth century’s emblematic paintings, the visual manifestation of a new period in world artistic culture at its inception. None of Malevich’s contemporary revolutionaries created a manifesto, an emblem, as capacious and in its own way unique as this work; it became both the quintessence of the Russian avantgardist’s own art—which he called Suprematism—and a milestone on the highway of world art. Writing about this single painting, Aleksandra Shatskikh sheds new light on Malevich, the Suprematist movement, and the Russian avant-garde. Malevich devoted his entire life to explicating Black Square’s meanings. This process engendered a great legacy: the original abstract movement in painting and its theoretical grounding; philosophical treatises; architectural models; new art pedagogy; innovative approaches to theater, music, and poetry; and the creation of a new visual environment through the introduction of decorative applied designs. All of this together spoke to the tremendous potential for innovative shape and thought formation concentrated in Black Square. To this day, many circumstances and events of the origins of Suprematism have remained obscure and have sprouted arbitrary interpretations and fictions. Close study of archival materials and testimonies of contemporaries synchronous to the events described has allowed this author to establish the true genesis of Suprematism and its principal painting.

Marlborough’s America
Stephen Saunders Webb
Scholars of British America generally conclude that the early eighteenthcentury Anglo-American empire was commercial in economics, liberal in politics, and parochial in policy, somnambulant in an era of “salutary neglect,” but Stephen Saunders Webb here demonstrates that the American provinces, under the spur of war, became capitalist, coercive, and aggressive, owing to the vigorous leadership of career army officers, trained and nominated to American government by the captain general of the allied armies, the first duke of Marlborough, and that his influence, and that of his legates, prevailed through the entire century in America. Webb’s work follows the duke, whom an eloquent enemy described as “the greatest statesman and the greatest general that this country or any other country has produced,” his staff and soldiers, through the ten campaigns, which, by defanging France, made the union with Scotland possible and made “Great Britain” preeminent in the Atlantic world. Then Webb demonstrates that the duke’s legates transformed American colonies into provinces of empire. Marlborough’s America, fifty years in the making, is the fourth volume of The Governors-General.

Victorian Bloomsbury
Rosemary Ashton
While Bloomsbury is now associated with Virginia Woolf and her earlytwentieth-century circle of writers and artists, the neighborhood was originally the undisputed intellectual quarter of nineteenth-century London. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival resources, Rosemary Ashton brings to life the educational, medical, and social reformists who lived and worked in Victorian Bloomsbury and who led crusades for education, emancipation, and health for all. Ashton explores the secular impetus behind these reforms and the humanitarian and egalitarian character of nineteenth-century Bloomsbury. Thackeray and Dickens jostle with less famous characters like Henry Brougham and Mary Ward. Embracing the high life of the squares, the nonconformity of churches, the parades of shops, schools, hospitals and poor homes, this is a major contribution to the history of nineteenth-century London.
ROSEMARy ASHTON is professor of English language and literature at University College London and the author of many distinguished biographies and cultural histories of the nineteenth century, including George Eliot and 142 Strand.

Mayhem

Post-War Crime and Violence in Britain, 1748–53 Nicholas Rogers

After the end of the War of Austrian Succession in 1748, thousands of unemployed and sometimes unemployable soldiers and seamen found themselves on the streets of London ready to roister the town and steal when necessary. In this fascinating book Nicholas Rogers explores the moral panic associated with this rapid demobilization. Through interlocking stories of duels, highway robberies, smuggling, riots, binge drinking, and even two earthquakes, Rogers captures the anxieties of a half-decade and assesses the social reforms contemporaries framed and imagined to deal with the crisis. He argues that in addressing these events, contemporaries not only endorsed the traditional sanction of public executions, but wrestled with the problem of expanding the parameters of government to include practices and institutions we now regard as commonplace: censuses, the regularization of marriage through uniform methods of registration, penitentiaries and police forces.

Quaker Rhetoric and the Birth of American Antislavery, 1657–1761 Brycchan Carey
In the first book to investigate in detail the origins of antislavery thought and rhetoric within the Society of Friends, Brycchan Carey shows how the Quakers turned against slavery in the first half of the eighteenth century and became the first organization to take a stand against the slave trade. Through meticulous examination of the earliest writings of the Friends, including journals and letters, Carey reveals the society’s gradual transition from expressing doubt about slavery to adamant opposition. He shows that while progression toward this stance was ongoing, it was slow and uneven and that it was vigorous internal debate and discussion that ultimately led to a call for abolition. His book will be a major contribution to the history of the rhetoric of antislavery and the development of antislavery thought as explicated in early Quaker writing.

American Lynching
Ashraf H. A. Rushdy
A history of lynching in America over the course of three centuries, from colonial Virginia to twentieth-century Texas
After observing the varying reactions to the 1998 death of James Byrd Jr. in Texas, called a lynching by some, denied by others, Ashraf Rushdy determined that to comprehend this event he needed to understand the long history of lynching in the United States. In this meticulously researched and accessibly written interpretive history, Rushdy shows how lynching in America has endured, evolved, and changed in meaning over the course of three centuries, from its origins in early Virginia to the present day. Rushdy argues that we can understand what lynching means in American history by examining its evolution—that is, by seeing how the practice changes in both form and meaning over the course of three centuries, by analyzing the rationales its advocates have made in its defense, and, finally, by explicating its origins. The “A work of uncommon breadth, best way of understanding what lynching has meant in written with equally uncommon different times, and for different populations, during concision. Excellent.”—N. D.

Building a New Jerusalem

John Davenport, a Puritan in Three Worlds Francis J. Bremer
John Davenport, who cofounded the colony of New Haven, has been neglected in studies that view early New England primarily from a Massachusetts viewpoint. Francis J. Bremer restores the clergyman to importance by examining Davenport’s crucial role as an advocate for religious reform in England and the Netherlands before his emigration, his engagement with an international community of scholars and clergy, and his significant contributions to colonial America. Bremer shows that he was in many ways a remarkably progressive leader for his time, with a strong commitment to education for both women and men, a vibrant interest in new science, and a dedication to upholding democratic principles in churches at a time when many other Puritan clergymen were emphasizing the power of their office above all else. Bremer’s enlightening and accessible biography of an important figure in New England history provides a unique perspective on the seventeenthcentury transatlantic Puritan movement.

The True History of Merlin the Magician
Anne Lawrence-Mathers
Who was the historical Merlin?
Merlin the Magician has remained an enthralling and curious individual since he was first introduced in the twelfth century though the pages of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae. But although the Merlin of literature and Arthurian myth is well known, Merlin the “historical” figure and his relation to medieval magic are less familiar. In this book Anne Lawrence-Mathers explores just who he was and what he has meant to Britain. The historical Merlin was no rough magician: he was a learned figure from the cutting edge of medieval science and adept in astrology, cosmology, prophecy, and natural magic, as well as being a seer and a protoalchemist. His powers were convincingly real—and useful, for they helped to add credibility to the “longlost” history of Britain which first revealed them to a European public. Merlin’s prophecies reassuringly foretold Britain’s path, establishing an ancient ancestral line “This book is more informative on the and linking biblical prophecy with more recent times. subject as a whole than any other I’ve seen. Merlin helped to put British history into world history. Merlin, though inseparable from Arthur, is Lawrence-Mathers also explores the meaning of Merlin’s magic across the centuries, arguing that he embodied ancient Christian and pagan magical traditions, recreated for a medieval court and shaped to fit a new moral framework. Linking Merlin’s reality and power with the culture of the Middle Ages, this remarkable book reveals the true impact of the most famous magician of all time.

African Cattle Herders of the Atlantic World, 1500–1900 Andrew Sluyter
In this groundbreaking book Andrew Sluyter demonstrates for the first time that Africans played significant creative roles in establishing openrange cattle ranching in the Americas. In so doing, he provides a new way of looking at and studying the history of land, labor, property, and commerce in the Atlantic world. Sluyter shows that Africans’ ideas and creativity helped to establish a production system so fundamental to the environmental and social relations of the American colonies that the consequences persist to the present. He examines various methods of cattle production, compares these methods to those used in Europe and the Americas, and traces the networks of actors that linked that Atlantic world. The use of archival documents, material culture items, and ecological relationships between landscape elements make this book a methodologically and substantively original contribution to Atlantic, African-American, and agricultural history.

But surprisingly, a century ago eugenicists were making the same promises. This book traces the history of the promises of medical genetics and of the medical dimension of eugenics. While mindful of the benefits of genetic medicine, the book also considers social and ethical issues that cast troublesome shadows over these fields. keeping his focus on America, Nathaniel Comfort introduces the community of scientists, physicians, and public health workers who have contributed to the development of medical genetics from the nineteenth century to today. He argues that medical genetics is closely related to eugenics, and indeed that the two cannot be fully understood separately. He also carefully examines how the desire to relieve suffering and to improve ourselves genetically, though noble, may be subverted. History makes clear that as patients and consumers we must take ownership of genetic medicine, using it intelligently, knowledgeably, and skeptically.
NATHANIEL COMFORT is associate professor, Department of the History of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, and a participant in The Oral History of Human Genetics project.

“Comfort explains how eugenics became part of medicine, and how medical and human genetics therefore derive in large part from eugenics. The great strength of this book is to work this through agnostically and calmly.”—Alison Bashford, The University of Sydney

The Carbon Crunch

How We’re Getting Climate Change Wrong— and How to Fix It Dieter Helm
Despite commitments to renewable energy and two decades of international negotiations, global emissions continue to rise. Coal, the most damaging of all fossil fuels, has actually risen from 25% to almost 30% of world energy use. And while European countries have congratulated themselves on reducing emissions, they have increased their carbon imports from China and other developing nations, who continue to expand their coal use. As standards of living increase in developing countries, coal use can only increase as well—and global temperatures along with it. In this hard-hitting book, Dieter Helm looks at how and why we have failed to tackle the issue of global warming and argues for a new, pragmatic rethinking of energy policy—from transitioning from coal to gas and eventually to electrification of transport, to carbon pricing and a focus on new technologies. Lucid, compelling and rigorously researched, this book will have a lasting impact on how we think about climate change.
DIETER HELM CBE is professor of energy policy, University of Oxford and Fellow in Economics at New College, Oxford. He is a member of the Economic Advisory Committee to the Uk Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, and Chair of the Natural Capital Committee.

Radioactive Transformations
With a New Foreword by Frank Wilczek
Radioactive Transformations describes Ernest Rutherford’s Nobel Prize– winning investigations into the mysteries of radioactive matter. In this historic work, Rutherford outlines the scientific investigations that led to and coincided with his own research—including the work of Wilhelm Röntgen, J. J. Thomson, and Marie Curie—and explains in detail the experiments that provided a glimpse at special relativity, quantum mechanics, and other concepts that would shape modern physics. This new edition features a comprehensive introduction by Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek which engagingly explains how Rutherford’s early research led to a better understanding of topics as diverse as the workings of the atom’s nucleus, the age of our planet, and the fusion in stars.
ERNEST RUTHERFORD, famous for his discoveries in nuclear physics, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his research on radioactive substances. FRANk WILCZEk shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of quantum chromodynamics. He is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author of three books, including The Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces.

Ernest Rutherford

“Radioactive Transformations gives a very accurate insider’s description of how the field of radioactivity developed. Rutherford answers questions that current historians and physicists tend to forget. . . . It clarifies the theories and makes them accessible to both historians and the general public.”—Maria Rentetzi, National Technical University of Athens, Greece

Elementary Particles
With a New Foreword by Thomas Appelquist
First published in 1951, Enrico Fermi’s Elementary Particles remains a valuable guide for physicists and scholars. Fermi’s descriptions of the then-known particle universe and its nascent conceptual framework allow readers to glimpse the foundations of the field from the perspective of one of its most distinguished contributors. Over sixty years of research have provided answers to some of the questions Fermi poses in this book, but the biggest mysteries, regarding the origin and unification of forces, remain. As the high-energy physics community analyzes the results from ongoing experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider, this historic work will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students. A new foreword by yale University physicist Thomas Appelquist provides an engaging update and gives the work historical context.
Professor of physics at the University of Chicago and a member of the Institute for Nuclear Studies until his death in 1954, ENRICO FERMI was awarded the Medal of Merit for his work on the atomic bomb and received the Nobel Prize in 1938 for research in neutron physics. THOMAS APPELQUIST is Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics at yale University.

The Puffin

Mike P. Harris and Sarah Wanless
At sea for most of the year and preferring remote offshore islands for its breeding habitat, the Atlantic Puffin has lived a life largely hidden from human observation. But now, thanks to persistent study by seabird scientists and exciting new research methods, many of the puffin’s secrets can be told. This thorough and charmingly illustrated book reveals in detail the puffin’s life history, behavior, ecology, population dynamics, and future prospects. Eminent seabird ecologists Mike P. Harris and Sarah Wanless create the most complete and up-to-date portrait of puffins ever published. Of particular interest are their recent insights into puffins’ winter whereabouts and activities while at sea, made possible by miniature, bird-borne tracking devices that provide unprecedented records of bird activity.

Truth or Beauty

Science and the Quest for Order David Orrell
In this sweeping book, applied mathematician and popular author David Orrell questions the promises and pitfalls of associating beauty with truth, showing how ideas of mathematical elegance have inspired—and have sometimes misled—scientists attempting to understand nature. Orrell shows how the ancient Greeks constructed a concept of the world based on musical harmony; later thinkers replaced this model with a program, based on Newton’s “rational mechanics,” to reduce the universe to a few simple equations. He then turns to current physical theories, such as supersymmetric string theory—again influenced by deep aesthetic principles. The book sheds new light on historical investigations and also recent research, including the examinations ongoing at the Large Hadron Collider. Finally, broadening his discussion to other fields of research, including economics, architecture, and health, Orrell questions whether these aesthetic principles reflect an accurate way to explain and understand the structure of our world.

The Great Manchurian Plague of 1910–1911
The Geopolitics of an Epidemic Disease William C. Summers
When plague broke out in Manchuria in 1910 as a result of transmission from marmots to humans, it struck a region struggling with the introduction of Western medicine, as well as with the interactions of three different national powers: Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. In this fascinating case history, William Summers relates how this plague killed as many as 60,000 people in less than a year, and uses the analysis to examine the actions and interactions of the multinational doctors, politicians, and ordinary residents who responded to it. Summers covers the complex political and economic background of early twentieth-century Manchuria and then moves on to the plague itself, addressing the various contested stories of the plague’s origins, development, and ecological ties. Ultimately, Summers shows how, because of Manchuria’s importance to the world powers of its day, the plague brought together resources, knowledge, and people in ways that enacted in miniature the triumphs and challenges of transnational medical projects such as the World Health Organization.
WILLIAM C. SUMMERS is professor of the history of science and medicine, molecular biophysics and biochemistry, and therapeutic radiology at yale University.

The Saxophone
Stephen Cottrell
In the first fully comprehensive study of one of the world’s most iconic musical instruments, Stephen Cottrell examines the saxophone’s various social, historical, and cultural trajectories, and illustrates how and why this instrument, with its idiosyncratic shape and sound, became important for so many different music-makers around the world. After considering what led inventor Adolphe Sax to develop this new musical wind instrument, Cottrell explores changes in saxophone design since the 1840s before examining the instrument’s role in a variety of contexts: in the military bands that contributed so much to the saxophone’s global dissemination during the nineteenth century; as part of the rapid expansion of American popular music around the turn of the twentieth century; in classical and contemporary art music; in world and popular music; and, of course, in jazz, a musical style with which the saxophone has become closely identified.

The openDemocracy Essays Fred Halliday
Edited by David Hayes
One of the great contrarians of international relations scholarship, Fred Halliday was able to combine his understanding of the broad sweep of modern history with a profound knowledge of modern revolutions, the Middle East, and national movements. This collection of Halliday’s political essays written for the online journal openDemocracy between 2004 and 2009 is proof of a subtle worldview that continues to generate questions: What is the relation between religion, nationalism, and progress? Is a new international order possible? When is intervention a force for progress? From the big headline topics such as the Iraq War to the unexpected comparisons of Tibet and Palestine, or Afghanistan and the Falklands, Halliday’s writings provide a perennially surprising and enlightened guide to the major issues of international politics.
FRED HALLIDAy (1946–2010) was professor emeritus of international relations at the London School of Economics from 1985 to 2008 and a research professor at the Barcelona Institute for International Studies.

The Watchful Clothier
The Life of an Eighteenth-Century Protestant Capitalist

Matthew kadane
A clothier and a deeply religious man, Joseph Ryder faithfully kept a diary from 1733 until his death, two and a half million words later, in 1768. Recently rediscovered and brilliantly interpreted by historian Matthew kadane, Ryder’s diary provides an illuminating, real-life perspective on the relationship between capitalism and Protestantism at a time when Britain was rapidly changing from a traditional to a modern society. It also provides fascinating insights on the early modern family, the birth of industrialization, the history of Puritanism, the origins of Unitarianism, melancholy, and the making of the British middle class.

“The Watchful Clothier is one of the most extraordinary works of history I can remember reading. kadane has unearthed the missing link of Max Weber’s famed ‘Protestant ethic’: the vast spiritual diary of an eighteenth-century tradesman halfway through the transformation from Richard Baxter to Benjamin Franklin.”—Ethan Shagan, University of California Berkeley

Beth H. Piatote
Amid the decline of U.S. military campaigns against Native Americans in the late nineteenth century, assimilation policy arose as the new front in the Indian Wars, with its weapons the deployment of culture and law, and its locus the American Indian home and family.

The Renaissance Epic and the Oral Past
Anthony Welch
This book explores why Renaissance epic poetry clung to fictions of song and oral performance in an age of growing literacy. Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poets, Anthony Welch argues, came to view their written art as newly distinct from the oral cultures of their ancestors. Welch shows how the period’s writers imagined lost civilizations built on speech and song—from Homeric Greece and Celtic Britain to the Americas—and struggled to reconcile this oral inheritance with an early modern culture of the book. Welch’s wide-ranging study offers a new perspective on Renaissance Europe’s epic literature and its troubled relationship with antiquity.

yAle frenCh studies series

Special Editor: Robert Justin Goldstein
The English saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words” has often been applied in a perverse manner by ruling authorities, who have frequently feared visual imagery even more than the printed word. This was especially the case in countries, such as nineteenth-century France, where a significant segment of the population was illiterate and could understand visual imagery better than the printed word. In this volume, specialists in nineteenth-century French history trace the use of censorship by nineteenth-century authorities who feared the power of all the visual and performing arts, from caricature to the cinema and the theater.

CRISCILLIA BENFORD is a visiting scholar in the Department of English at Stanford University. REBECCA MITCHELL is an assistant professor of English at the University of Texas-Pan American.

Modern Love and Poems of the English Roadside occupies a distinctive and somewhat notorious place within George Meredith’s already unique body of work. Modern Love is now best known for the emotionally intense sonnet cycle which Meredith’s own contemporaries dismissed as scandalously confessional and indiscreet. While individual sonnets from the work have been anthologized, the complete cycle is rarely included, and the original edition has not been reprinted since its first appearance in 1862. This edition restores the original publication and supplements it with a range of accompanying materials that will reintroduce Meredith’s astonishing collection of poetry to a new generation of readers.

Macaulay and Son
Architects of Imperial Britain

Catherine Hall

Thomas Babington Macaulay’s History of England was a phenomenal Victorian best-seller defining a nation’s sense of self, its triumphant rise to a powerfully homogenous nation built on a global empire and its claim to be the modern nation, marking the route to civilization for all others. In this book Catherine Hall explores the emotional, intellectual, and political roots of Zachary Macaulay, the leading abolitionist, and his son Thomas’s visions of race, nation, and empire. The contrasting moments of evangelical humanitarianism and liberal imperialism are read through the writings and careers of the two men.

The Montreal Protocol has been cited as the most successful global environmental agreement, responsible for phasing out the use of ozonedepleting substances. But, says Brian Gareau in this provocative and engaging book, the Montreal Protocol has failed—largely because of neoliberal ideals involving economic protectionism but also due to the protection of the legitimacy of certain forms of scientific knowledge. Gareau traces the rise of a new form of disagreement among global powers, members of the scientific community, civil society, and agro-industry groups, leaving them relatively ineffective in their efforts to push for environmental protection.

Mobilizing Inclusion
Transforming the Electorate through Get-Out-the-Vote Campaigns

Lisa García Bedolla and Melissa R. Michelson
Which get-out-the-vote efforts actually succeed in ethnoracial communities—and why? Analyzing the results from hundreds of original experiments, the authors of this book offer a persuasive new theory to explain why some methods work while others don’t. Exploring and comparing a wide variety of efforts targeting ethnoracial voters, Lisa García Bedolla and Melissa R. Michelson present a new theoretical frame—the Social Cognition Model of voting, based on an individual’s sense of civic identity—for understanding get-out-the-vote effectiveness. Their book will serve as a useful guide for political practitioners, for it offers concrete strategies to employ in developing future mobilization efforts.

The Colorado Doctrine
Water Rights, Corporations, and Distributive Justice on the American Frontier

David Schorr
Making extensive use of archival and other primary sources, David Schorr demonstrates that the development of the “appropriation doctrine,” a system of private rights in water, was part of a radical attack on monopoly and corporate power in the arid West. Schorr describes how Colorado miners, irrigators, lawmakers, and judges forged a system of private property in water based on a desire to spread property and its benefits as widely as possible among independent citizens. He demonstrates that ownership was not dictated by concerns for economic efficiency, but by a regard for social justice.

“In this brilliant book, David Schorr demonstrates that prior appropriation water law broke radically from riparian water law in order to prevent moneyed land interests from monopolizing and speculating in the scare waters of the arid west.”—Justice Greg Hobbs, Colorado Supreme Court

Russian Full Circle
A First-year Russian Textbook

Donna Oliver with Edie Furniss

Deliberately “bare-bones” in its design, Russian Full Circle allows instructors to deliver in one academic year a full firstyear Russian language curriculum. It consists of ten lessons that cover all major grammar topics and provide an ample amount of essential vocabulary on a variety of themes. A rich ancillary Web site provides cultural content and supplemental audiovisual materials. In promoting both flexibility for faculty and self-directed learning for students, Russian Full Circle provides a needed alternative to the two-volume, densely packed firstyear Russian textbooks currently on the market.
DONNA OLIVER is professor of Russian at Beloit College. EDIE FURNISS is a doctoral student in applied linguistics at Pennsylvania State University.

A Moral History of the Twentieth Century, Second Edition Jonathan Glover
Renowned moral philosopher Jonathan Glover confronts the brutal history of the twentieth century to unravel the mystery of why so many atrocities occurred. In a new preface, Glover brings the book through the post-September 11 era and into our own time—and asks whether humankind can “weaken the grip war has on us.” Praise for the first edition: “It is hard to imagine a more important book. Glover makes an overwhelming case for the need to understand our own inhumanity, and reduce or eliminate the ways in which it can express itself—and he then begins the task himself. Humanity is an extraordinary achievement.”—Peter Singer, Princeton University “This is an extraordinary book: brilliant, haunting and uniquely important. Almost 40 years ago a president read a best seller and avoided a holocaust. I like to think that some of the leaders and followers of tomorrow will read Humanity.”—Steven Pinker, New York Times Book Review
JONATHAN GLOVER is director of the Center of Medical Law and Ethics at king’s College, London, and a fellow of the Hastings Center.

Humanity

“Our libraries teem with tedious books that try to explain the modern world in terms of ideology or economics or power politics. But Jonathan Glover, by linking history with ethics, has found an unusually refreshing, thought-provoking and convincing approach.”—Norman Davies, author of Europe: A History and The Isles: A History

Government Forms and Performance in Thirty-Six Countries Arend Lijphart
In this updated and expanded edition of his classic text, Arend Lijphart offers a broader and deeper analysis of worldwide democratic institutions than ever before. Examining thirty-six democracies during the period from 1945 to 2010, Lijphart arrives at important—and unexpected—conclusions about what type of democracy works best. Praise for the previous edition: “Magnificent. . . . The best-researched book on democracy in the world today.”—Malcolm Mackerras, American Review of Politics “I can’t think of another scholar as well qualified as Lijphart to write a book of this kind. He has an amazing grasp of the relevant literature, and he’s compiled an unmatched collection of data.”—Robert A. Dahl, yale University “This sound comparative research . . . will continue to be a standard in graduate and undergraduate courses in comparative politics.”—Choice

Brian Thomas Swimme and Mary Evelyn Tucker
This course pack includes the hour-long Journey of the Universe film, which has been broadcast on PBS stations nationwide, and a twenty-part educational series that integrates the perspectives of the sciences and the humanities into a retelling of our 13.7-billion-year story. In a series of oneon-one interviews, scientists, historians, and environmentalists explore the unfolding story of the universe and Earth and the role of humans in responding to our present challenges. These half-hour episodes are designed to be used in classrooms and other educational contexts in conjunction with the Journey of the Universe film and book. The first ten interviews focus on the emergence of universe, earth, life, and humans and feature engaging discussions with scientists and historians. The subsequent ten interviews consider an emerging earth community, which shows how environmentalists, economists, and educators are creating a sustainable future. Contents: a total of five DVDs; total running time approximately 11 hours Also available: Journey of the Universe, cloth, 978-0-300-17190-7 $25.00 For more information and curricular materials, visit www.journeyoftheuniverse.org.

I cannot imagine a more urgent book to read as we enter this revolutionary moment on the planet. Its message is beyond hope or even faith, it is an illuminated manuscript, a prayer book of wonder and awe for our time.”—Terry Tempest Williams, author of Finding Beauty in a Broken World

The Burma Campaign

Disaster into Triumph, 1942–45 Frank McLynn
This book, in essence a quadruple biography, tells the true story of four larger-than-life Allied commanders (three Brits and one American) who battled the Japanese, and sometimes each other, in the long and bloody Burma campaign of World War II.

“The China-Burma-India Theater is one of the most overlooked and least understood—at least for Americans. McLynn traces the complex dance of the four main military actors (Vinegar Joe Stilwell, Bill Slim, Orde Wingate, and Lord Mountbatten) through brutal jungle logistics and battles.”—World War II Magazine “This is fine history, well-written and absorbing.”—John Linsenmeyer, Greenwich Times “This is in my judgment the best survey of the south Asian campaign in existence. . . . The work is original, well researched, and provocative without being polemical.”—Dennis Showalter, Colorado College
FRANk MCLyNN is a highly regarded historian who specializes in biographies and military history. He is the author of more than thirty books, including critically acclaimed biographies of Napoleon and Richard the Lionheart. He lives in Surrey, Uk.

In which an Aging Professor laments his shrinking Brain... William Ian Miller
In this moving, funny, deeply insightful consideration of old age, William Ian Miller frees us from facile stereotypes and gives us a more honest way of thinking about growing old, enriched by an understanding of other times and cultures. “Blackly funny and wonderfully thought-provoking. . . . A raging screed directed less against the dying of the light than against any denial that the lamps—his, mine, yours—are indeed dimming all the time.”—Brian Bethune, Maclean’s “[Miller] is a prankster, a tease, an imp of the perverse, a digressor-transgressor. . . .

The Triumph and Tragedy of a Great Victorian Adventure Tim Jeal
The author of Stanley (National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography, 2007) offers a spellbinding narrative of the adventures of six indefatigable men and one intrepid woman on the dangerous quest to find the nineteenth century’s greatest prize: the source of Africa’s White Nile. “A brilliant, scholarly and at times almost unreadably vivid account of the two decades in the middle of the 19th century when the search for the Nile’s source in central Africa was at its height.”—Ben Macintyre, New York Times Book Review “Elegantly written and skillfully crafted. . . . The greatest strengths of this highly enjoyable and readable book are Jeal’s passion for his subject and his mastery of personalities as complex as the geography they battled to understand.”—Diane Preston, Washington Post “Superb narrative. . . .

Two Women of Little Rock David Margolick
Who were the two fifteen-year-old girls from Little Rock—one black, one white—in one of the most unforgettable photographs of the civil rights era? David Margolick tells the remarkable story of two separate lives unexpectedly braided together, exploring how the haunting picture came to be taken, its significance in the wider world, and why, for the next half-century, neither woman has escaped from its long shadow. “Utterly engrossing, for it touches on a variety of thorny, provocative themes: the power of race, the nature of friendship, the role of personality, the capacity for brutality and for forgiveness.”—Publishers Weekly “Surprising, disturbing, occasionally inspiring, often baffling, and ultimately sad. . . . Elizabeth and Hazel represents, in microcosm, the debilitating power of race that remains powerful 50 years after that photo. . . . An amazing story, told with brio.”—Boston Globe “An amazingly intimate portrait. . . . The lesson of Elizabeth and Hazel may be that we shouldn’t define other people’s lives by one single moment. Instead, “David Margolick tells us an amazing story. we can use their actions to define other lives—our We all need to know about Elizabeth own.”—Christian Science Monitor, A Top 10 Nonfiction and Hazel.”—President Bill Clinton Book of 2011 “Intricately woven Angeles Times and deeply affecting.”—Los

Anatomy of a Murder Trial Janet Malcolm

Iphigenia in Forest Hills

Prizewinning journalist Janet Malcolm turns her attention to a sensational murder trial in an unusual neighborhood in Queens and discovers the elements of Greek tragedy. Surely one of the most keenly observed trial books ever written, Iphigenia in Forest Hills is ultimately about character, “presumption of innocence,” and the meaning of the word “justice.” “Astringent and absorbing. . . . Iphigenia in Forest Hills casts, from its first pages, a genuine spell—the kind of spell to which Ms. Malcolm’s admirers (and I am one) have become addicted.”—Dwight Garner, New York Times “Iphigenia in Forest Hills is a garden of forking paths where at every turn new and contradictory narrative byways open up. . . .

How to Change the World

Reflections on Marx and Marxism Eric Hobsbawm
In this penetrating reassessment of Marxist thought and its relevance today, renowned historian Eric Hobsbawm argues that the author of Das Kapital has much to say to us in the post-communist era.

“This collection shows [Hobsbawm] is a brilliant writer, erudite critic and, as he approaches his 94th birthday, a joyfully unrepentant communist. . . . A book anyone interested in politics could and should devour. It is charmingly optimistic and constantly lucid, and contains the distilled wisdom of a great thinker, thinking about a great thinker.”—Amol Rajan, Independent “The best book on Marx and his legacy that I have read in years. Elegantly written, balanced in its judgments, and exhibiting exceptional erudition and knowledge, this is a major work by one of the great European historians of our time.”—Stephen Eric Bronner, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University
ERIC HOBSBAWM is professor emeritus, department of history, classics and archaeology, and president, Birkbeck University of London. He lives in London.

“Hobsbawm has lived through so much of the political turbulence he portrays that it is easy to fantasize that History itself is speaking here, in its wry, all-seeing, dispassionate wisdom. It is hard to think of a critic of Marxism who can address his or her own beliefs with such honesty and equipoise.”—Terry Eagleton, London Review of Books

The Age of Doubt
Tracing the Roots of Our Religious Uncertainty

By analyzing the parallel battles over faith and reason in the nineteenth century and ours, scholar Christopher Lane makes a case for the benefits of agnosticism and religious uncertainty. “Lane asks the right questions of the doubting pundits, past and present. Easy to read and render[ing] complicated ideas accessible, [his book] is an altogether admirable study—and ends with an amusing tour of the intellectual trivialities at American Creationist ‘museums.’’’—Edward Norman, Literary Review “While many people believe that human history is the story of two thousand years of blanket Christianity followed by a recent emergence of atheism, the book stresses the very important fact that theological and philosophical squabbles over these subjects are nothing new (and indeed, far more fierce than some of our debates today).”—Christopher Holden, PopMatters
CHRISTOPHER LANE is professor of English at Northwestern University and a recent Guggenheim fellow. Lane is also the author of Shyness, published by yale University Press. He lives in Chicago.

Russia’s Cold War fills a significant gap in our understanding of the most important geopolitical rivalry of the twentieth century. “There are rich rewards in [the book’s] fascinating insights, well balanced judgements and original, sometimes provocative arguments, which are bound to stimulate debate for years to come.”—Orlando Figes, Sunday Times

Berthe Morisot
Marianne Mathieu
A handsomely illustrated volume that provides new insight into one of the great women artists of the Impressionist circle
Berthe Morisot (1841–1895) was one of only a handful of women who exhibited both at the famed Paris Salon and with the French Impressionists. Her exquisite work depicts the world of the Parisian bourgeoisie: their clothes, their life-styles, their surroundings, and their relationships. Over one hundred full-color paintings, graphic works, watercolors, and pastels are reproduced in this volume, and are accompanied by original commentaries that follow the artist’s career from her training with JeanBaptiste-Camille Corot to her final work. Included in the volume is an essay that Morisot wrote about her nephew-in-law Paul Valéry in 1948—a seminal text that has never been included in his collected works—as well as extensive correspondence and sketchbooks held at the Musée Marmottan Monet, which have rarely been accessible. Morisot has been hailed by historians as one of the forgotten women artists of the 19th century, and this volume helps to reveal her artistic influence on her better-known peers.

Interviews with Artists
A renowned curator and respected insider of the international art scene since the mid-1960s, Michael Peppiatt has spent his professional life with many of the greatest artists of the 20th century. His close friendships and frequent studio visits with Dubuffet, Sonia Delaunay, Francis Bacon, Henry Moore, Balthus, Oldenburg, Brassaï, and Cartier-Bresson, among many others, have produced an incredible archive of interviews, from formal question-and-answer sessions to off-the-cuff conversations. These interviews combine to give a unique perspective on art from World War II to the present day. Peppiatt has selected forty-five of the most noteworthy and fascinating of his conversations with artists, from the world-famous to the underrecognized. The author approaches his subjects with a characteristic mix of passion, insight, and humor in a book that is consistently entertaining and informative, as the artists open up in unexpected ways about their work and their lives.
MICHAEL PEPPIATT is a well-known writer and curator, who began his career as an art critic in London and Paris in the 1960s. He is the author of Alberto Giacometti in Postwar Paris, Francis Bacon in the 1950s, Francis Bacon: Studies for a Portrait, and In Giacometti’s Studio (all yale).

Dieter Roth

Diaries Edited by Fiona Bradley

Contributions by Andrea Büttner, Sarah Lowndes, Jan Vos, and Björn Roth

Dieter Roth (1930–1998) was an artist of astonishing breadth and diversity, producing graphics, drawings, paintings, sculptures, assemblages, and installation works involving sound recordings and video. He was also a composer, musician, poet, and writer. Roth was particularly noted for his influential artist’s books, including Literaturwurst (1961–74), a series of books made using traditional sausage recipes but replacing the sausage meat with pages torn from other publications. Roth kept diaries and notebooks throughout his life, using and reusing them in his art and writing. The idea of keeping a diary—finding a way to record the passing of time and document his life—is a fundamental theme of his artwork. Illustrations of pages from Roth’s diaries and copybooks of his major works, including A Diary (1982), Flat Waste (1975), Solo Scenes (1997–98), and Bar II (1983–97), accompany art historical assessments by contemporary scholars and contributions from his peer Jan Vos and his son Björn Roth.

The book considers the history of the company from its founding through today and examines Marimekko’s impact on design in Finland and around the world. The company’s most important designers, including Maija Isola and Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, their contributions, and their stylistic development are also discussed. In addition, the book examines Marimekko home and office interiors and how they reflected the lifestyle envisioned in Armi Ratia’s broad, radical definition of fashion.

250 Objects of Fashion & Desire Bianca du Mortier and Ninke Bloemberg
From purses to parasols, spectacles to slippers, wigs to walking sticks, the Rijksmuseum has a superb collection of fashion accessories that also includes a rich array of more familiar items: hats, gloves, and shoes for both men and women. Ranging from the 15th to the 21st century, the objects in this stylish book are grouped by color, allowing intriguing juxtapositions of period, material, and type. Many of these accessories were originally received as gifts on all kinds of occasions and for all kinds of reasons: a souvenir from a distant country sent to the family back home; a pair of gloves or a purse embroidered with symbols of marriage and the couple’s initials; an ivory fan commissioned in Canton, carved with the initials of a lover or inscribed with an amorous allusion; an embroidered cap from a wife to a husband to mark the birth of a child; a fan for a daughter from her grateful parents for her loyal obedience; or a gift for wedding guests to take home. Superb photography and award-winning design make this an exceptionally desirable book for every follower of fashion with a sense of history.

Chinese Silks
Edited by Dieter kuhn
Foreword by James C. y. Watt Contributions by Chen Juanjuan, Huang Nengfu, Dieter kuhn, Li Wenying, Peng Hao, and Zhao Feng

The first comprehensive history of China’s most luxurious textile and its enduring influence on Chinese civilization and art
Over the past fifty years, archaeological explorations in China have unearthed a wealth of textile materials, some dating as far back as five thousand years. In this magnificently researched and illustrated book, preeminent Western and Chinese scholars draw upon these spectacular discoveries to provide the most thorough account of the history of silk ever written. Encyclopedic in breadth, the volume presents a chronological history of silk from a variety of perspectives, including archaeological, technological, art historical, and aesthetic. The contributors explore the range of uses for silk, from the everyday to the sublime. By directly connecting recently found textile artifacts to specific references in China’s vast historical literature, they illuminate the evolution of silk making and the driving social forces that have inspired the creation of innovative textiles through the millennia.

Matisse

In Search of True Painting Edited by Rebecca Rabinow and Dorthe Aagesen

An investigation of Matisse’s artistic development through his paired works
More than most artists, Henri Matisse conducted an ongoing dialogue with his earlier works, continually questioning himself and his methods in order to, as he put it, “push further and deeper into true painting.” In a fresh approach to this giant of 20th-century art, Matisse: In Search of True Painting examines sixty works and more than five decades in a series of concise chapters by prominent Matisse scholars from the United States and Europe, each focusing on a particular aspect of his artistic development. From early pairs such as Young Sailor I and II (1906) and Le Luxe I and II (1907–8) through five Interiors at Nice (1917–21) to scenes from the studio in Vence (1946–48), the book shows Matisse responding to earlier styles and artists and developing his own, often radical, answers to such problems as how to portray light, handle paint, select colors, and manipulate perspective. The volume also discusses findings from new technical studies carried out on the early paired works that shed more light on Matisse’s complex and deeply felt evolution. Both an intimate glimpse into the artistic process and a significant addition to the literature on modern art, Matisse: In Search of True Painting traces the path by which Matisse becomes himself.

Regarding Warhol

Fifty Artists, Fifty years

Mark Rosenthal, Marla Prather, Ian Alteveer, and Rebecca Lowery
An exploration of Warhol’s extraordinary cultural and artistic legacy
For decades, commentators have acknowledged Andy Warhol’s phenomenal impact on contemporary art. Unlike the many existing books about the artist, Regarding Warhol: Fifty Artists, Fifty Years is the first full-scale exploration of his tremendous influence across several generations of artists. Examining in depth the Warhol sensibility, the book is organized around key themes: popular culture and tabloid news, celebrity portraiture, issues of sexual identity and gender, and practices such as artistic appropriation. Each theme is delineated with visual “dialogues” between key examples of Warhol’s work and paintings, sculpture, and photographs by some fifty other artists, among them John Baldessari, Vija Celmins, Gilbert and George, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Felix GonzalezTorres, Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst, Alex katz, Jeff koons, Barbara kruger, Robert Mapplethorpe, Takashi Murakami, Bruce Nauman, Elizabeth Peyton, Richard Prince, Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, and Luc Tuymans. These juxtapositions not only demonstrate Warhol’s overt influence but also suggest how artists have either worked in parallel modes or developed his model in dynamic new directions. The volume includes a major essay by critic Mark Rosenthal, commentaries by and interviews with a number of the artists featured in the book, and a visual archive and extensive illustrated chronology that chart the “Warhol effect” over the past fifty years.

Silence
Toby kamps and Steve Seid
With a contribution by Jenni Sorkin

An insightful look at the role of silence in modern and contemporary visual art
Over the last century, many artists and filmmakers have used silence as subject matter and medium, exploring it as symbol, phenomenon, memorial device, and oppressive force. Silence examines the ways twenty-nine artists invoke silence to shape space and consciousness, most after John Cage’s 4'33" (1952). Among this carefully curated selection are Joseph Beuys’s The Silence of Marcel Duchamp Is Overrated (1964) and works by several artists who matured in the 1960s and 70s, including Bruce Nauman and Marcel Broodthaers; documentation of Tehching Hsieh’s One Year Performance 1978–79, in which the artist spent a year in a cage without speaking, reading, writing, or engaging with any media; and Andy Warhol’s Electric Chair paintings. Other artists featured in the publication include Robert Rauschenberg and Ad Reinhardt, represented by white or black paintings; kyung Cha, Maya Deren, Theresa Hak, Jennie C. Jones, Jacob kirkegaard, Christian Marclay, Doris Salcedo, and Martin Wong; and intermedia artists Steve Roden and Steven Vitiello. Over forty full-color plates complement three thoughtprovoking essays and artist biographies.

Skogen

Robert Adams
Skogen is the Swedish word for forest, and while the dense woods featured in Robert Adams’s most recent series of photographs grow near his home in Oregon, the pictures evoke a wild utopia, and convey a hushed, primeval awe. In this volume, the latest to document Adams’s ongoing quest to find form amid the chaos of nature, shadows predominate, tempered by an ambiguous light that is unique to the Pacific Northwest. Skogen features forty-six previously unpublished images, a body of work that is among the most pictorially complex of Adams’s distinguished career. Also included are an introduction by the artist and a poem by the acclaimed poet Denise Levertov. This pairing is meaningful; as Michael Fried wrote in Bookforum, “Adams’s artistic ideal . . . has much in common with that of a certain sort of lyric poem, one that similarly has not the slightest room for carelessness of any sort.”
ROBERT ADAMS lives and works in Oregon.

A Master Printer in Collaboration with Ten Artists Craig Zammiello and Elisabeth Hodermarsky
Over his thirty years as a master printer, Craig Zammiello has established himself as a foremost specialist of intaglio printmaking in the United States. Through lively discussions between Zammiello, Elisabeth Hodermarsky, and ten contemporary artists—Mel Bochner, Carroll Dunham, Ellen Gallagher, Jane Hammond, Suzanne McClelland, Chris Ofili, Elizabeth Peyton, Matthew Ritchie, kiki Smith, and Terry Winters—Conversations from the Print Studio offers an intimate look at the relationship between printer and artist, as well as insight into the technical challenges of intaglio printmaking. The conversations follow ten unique projects from inception to completion, tracing each artist’s initial vision, the artist’s and printer’s creative strategies, and reactions to the final product. By documenting the dual perspectives of artist and printer, the book reveals recent innovations in the field of printmaking as well as the collaborative nature of art-making itself. The result is a rare behind-the-scenes excursion into the workings of the contemporary print studio.

Handbags

An exploration of the role of the handbag in the history of culture, fashion, and material production
The history of the handbag—its design, how it has been made, used, and worn—reveals something essential about women’s lives over the past 500 years. Perhaps the most universal item of fashionable adornment, it can also be elusive, an object of desire, secrecy, and even fear. Handbags explores these rich histories and multiple meanings. This book features specially commissioned photographs of an extraordinary, newly formed collection of fashionable handbags that date from the 16th century to the present day. It has been acquired for exhibition in the first museum devoted to the handbag, in Seoul, South korea. The project is a commission undertaken by experimental exhibition-maker Judith Clark, whose innovative practices are revealed in Handbags. Essays by leading fashion historians and an acclaimed psychoanalyst investigate the history of gesture, the psychoanalysis of bags, and the museum’s state-of-the-art mannequins and archive cabinets. In order to preserve the words that describe the unique qualities of each bag, a terminology of handbags has been compiled.

René Magritte: Newly Discovered Works
Edited by Sarah Whitfield

Catalogue Raisonné Volume VI: Oil Paintings, Gouaches, Drawings

A continuation of the five-volume René Magritte Catalogue Raisonné that introduces 130 newly attributed works
René Magritte (1898–1967) was a surrealist artist whose thought-provoking works used ordinary objects to challenge how viewers perceived reality. His extensive oeuvre was documented in a comprehensive five-volume project, led by distinguished art critic and writer David Sylvester. In the years that followed the publication of the final volume in 1997, numerous works purporting to be by Magritte appeared on the art market. Under the auspices of the Fondation Magritte, a committee was established to verify the authenticity of newly discovered works as well as those previously recorded as “whereabouts unknown” or listed as appendix items in the original volumes of the René Magritte Catalogue Raisonné. René Magritte: Newly Discovered Works includes color illustrations of 130 previously unpublished or unknown works authenticated by the committee between September 2000 and March 2010. Like its predecessors, this volume is the culmination of years of research, which synthesizes new discoveries about the artworks and details of the life of Magritte himself. Accompanying text and comparative documentation provide a wealth of complementary information, including the circumstances of a work’s discovery, references to letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from previous volumes.

The Arts of Sakai Ho ¯itsu (1761–1828) Matthew P. Mckelway

Silver Wind

With contributions by Tadashi kobayashi and Toshinobu yasumura
Sakai Ho ¯itsu was one of the most prominent painters of late 18th- and early 19th-century Japan, known for technical bravura, arresting compositions, and striking use of color. After becoming a Buddhist monk, Ho ¯itsu was able to dedicate himself to painting, establishing a studio and studying the work of Ogata ko (1658–1716). Ho ¯rin ¯itsu successfully revived the earlier artist’s style, which later came to be known as Rimpa, “the school of ko ¯rin.” The first book in English to focus exclusively on the work of this important artist, Silver Wind examines fifty-eight of Ho ¯itsu’s works and those of his predecessors and artistic heirs, ranging from scrolls and screens to fans, lacquer, and woodblock-printed books. Accompanying essays explore Ho ¯itsu’s discovery and reinterpretation of ko ¯rin’s artistic legacy; the aesthetics of the Rimpa style; and the career of Suzuki kiitsu, his leading student.

In 2009 the workshop donated one hundred prints to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in memory of its late director Anne d’Harnoncourt. Full Spectrum celebrates this generous gift and documents and contextualizes the workshop’s achievements over its distinguished forty-year history. All one hundred prints by the eighty-nine artists represented in the gift—including John Biggers, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Joyce de Guatemala, Sam Gilliam, Mei-Ling Hom, Jacob Landau, kenneth Noland, Betye and Alison Saar, and kay Walkingstick—are beautifully reproduced. Cultural identity, political and social issues, portraiture, landscape, patterning, and pure abstraction are some of the many subjects explored in these works, underscoring the breadth of the workshop’s conceptual and stylistic reach.

The Rinpa Aesthetic in Japanese Art John T. Carpenter
A celebration of the history and influence of a bold and graphic Japanese aesthetic
The distinctive style of Japanese art known as Rinpa embraces bold, graphic renderings of natural motifs and formalized depictions of fictional characters, poets, and sages. An aesthetic that arose in Japan in the 16th century and flourished until modern times, the Rinpa school is celebrated for its use of lavish pigments and its references to traditional court literature and poetry. Central to the Rinpa aesthetic is the evocation of the natural world—especially animals and plants with literary connotations—as well as eye-catching compositions that cleverly integrate calligraphy and image. Featuring beautiful color reproductions of some ninety works—including painting, calligraphy, printed books, textiles, lacquerware, ceramics, and cloisonné—from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other notable public and private collections, Designing Nature traces the development of Rinpa, highlighting the school’s most prominent proponents and, for the first time, the influence of this quintessential Japanese style on modern design aesthetics in both the East and the West.

Bernini

With contributions by Andrea Bacchi, Tomaso Montanari, and Steven F. Ostrow
The brilliantly expressive clay models created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) as “sketches” for his works in marble offer extraordinary insights into his creative imagination. Although long admired, the terracotta models have never been the subject of detailed examination. This publication presents a wealth of new discoveries (including evidence of the artist’s fingerprints imprinted on the clay), resolving lingering issues of attribution while giving readers a vivid sense of how the artist and his assistants fulfilled a steady stream of monumental commissions. Essays describe Bernini’s education as a modeler; his approach to preparatory drawings; his use of assistants; and the response to his models by 17thcentury collectors. Extensive research by conservators and art historians explores the different types of models created in Bernini’s workshop. Richly illustrated, Bernini transforms our understanding of the sculptor and his distinctive and fascinating working methods.

Medieval Art and Architecture, Revised and Updated Edition Peter Barnet and Nancy Wu
Home to an extraordinary collection of treasured masterworks, including the famed Unicorn Tapestries, The Cloisters is devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. This splendid new guide, published to celebrate The Cloisters’ seventy-fifth anniversary, richly illustrates and describes the most important highlights of its collection, from paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and exquisitely carved ivories to its monumental architecture evocative of the grand religious spaces and domestic interiors of the Middle Ages. The Cloisters remains a testament to design innovation—a New york City landmark with sweeping views of the Hudson River—featuring original elements of Romanesque and Gothic architecture dating from the 12th through the 15th century. Three of the structures enclose beautiful gardens cultivated with species known from tapestries, medieval herbals, and other historic sources. These exotic spaces, the art masterpieces, and the fragrant plants offer visitors an oasis of serenity and inspiration. This book both encapsulates and enhances that experience.

The Princely Furniture of the Roentgens Wolfram koeppe
During the second half of the 18th century, the German workshop of Abraham and David Roentgen was among Europe’s most successful cabinetmaking enterprises. The Roentgens’ pieces combined innovative designs with intriguing mechanical devices that revolutionized traditional types of European furniture. An important key to their success was the pairing of the skilled craftsman Abraham with his brashly entrepreneurial son David, whose clients included Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette of France as well as Catherine the Great of Russia. This landmark publication is the first comprehensive survey, in nearly four decades, of the firm from its founding in about 1742 to its closing in the late 1790s. The Roentgen workshop perfected the practice of adapting prefabricated elements according to the specifications of the customers. Detailed discussions of these extraordinary pieces are complemented by illustrations showing them in their contemporary interiors, design drawings, portraits, and previously unpublished historical documents from the Roentgen estate. This fascinating book provides an essential contribution to the study of European furniture.

Federico Barocci

Renaissance Master of Color and Line Judith W. Mann and Babette Bohn
Federico Barocci (c. 1533/35–1612) was one of the most innovative Italian artists of the second half of the 16th century. His art combines the Renaissance focus on the human body with an unparalleled use of color and light. He created dynamic compositions that challenged the limitations of traditional pictorial boundaries, becoming a model for Baroque artists of the following century. Nearly 1,500 drawings by Barocci survive, providing invaluable insight into the artist’s process and thinking. Essays by leading scholars in the field discuss the role of Urbino—Barocci’s hometown—in the artist’s development; his pioneering approach to religious subjects; his technique as a draftsman; the interdependence of painting and drawing in his work; and his use of red underpaint. Catalogue entries treat nineteen groups of paintings and drawings, including many previously unpublished sheets. This beautiful and groundbreaking book reveals the breadth and significance of Barocci’s oeuvre.

Carrie Mae Weems

“No American photographer of the last quarter century . . . has turned out a more probing, varied, and moving body of work.”—Holland Cotter, The New York Times
The work of contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems (b. 1953) hits hard with a powerful mix of lived life and social commentary. Since the late 1970s, her photographs, films, and installations have become known for presenting realistic and authentic images of African Americans while confronting themes of race, gender, and class. This book, the first major survey of Weems’s career, traces the artist’s commitment to addressing issues of social justice through her artwork. Her early photographs, which focused on African American women and families, have since led to work that examines more general aspects of the African diaspora, from the legacy of slavery to the perpetuation of debilitating stereotypes. Increasingly, she has broadened her view to include global struggles for equality and justice. This beautifully illustrated book highlights over 200 of Weems’s most important works. Accompanying essays by leading scholars explore Weems’s interest in folklore, her focus on the spoken and written word, the performative aspect of her constructed tableaux, and her expressions of black beauty.

Weatherbeaten

Winslow Homer and Maine Edited by Thomas A. Denenberg
With essays by kenyon Bolton, Erica E. Hirshler, James F. O’Gorman, and Marc Simpson

A celebration of the American painter’s life and work in the region he loved best
In 1883 American artist Winslow Homer (1836– 1910) moved his studio from New york City to Prouts Neck, a slip of coastline just south of Portland, Maine. Here, over the course of twenty-five years, Homer produced his most celebrated and emotionally powerful paintings, which often depicted the dramatic views and storm-strewn skies around his home. Homer’s influence and the Prouts Neck area would have a profound effect on the rise of a new American modernism, inspiring the artists who followed him. This beautifully illustrated catalogue celebrates Homer’s legacy at Prouts Neck, and documents the Portland Museum of Art’s six-year conservation project to preserve the Winslow Homer Studio, the former carriage house in which Homer lived and worked. Photographs of the studio and site, never before open to the public, highlight views that are recognizable as the subject of so many of Homer’s paintings. Essays by leading scholars examine his iconic masterpieces; his artistic development in Prouts Neck; the architecture of his studio; his relationship to French painting; and the full range of his marine paintings.

The American Circus

With contributions by Rachel Adams, Brenda Assael, Leon Botstein, Janet Davis, Fred Dahlinger, Ellen Donovan, Rodney Huey, Eugene Metcalf, Brett Mizelle, Susan Nance, Jennifer Posey, Gregory J. Renoff, kory Rogers, Paul Stirton, and Peta Tait
The circus is a source of nostalgia for Americans of all ages, either from memories of attending P. T. Barnum’s “Greatest Show on Earth,” or through the colorful evocations in many movies, television programs, and books. Interest in the circus phenomenon is unflagging, yet there have been few publications that look closely at how the circus’s European origins were refashioned for an American audience. Lavishly illustrated and carefully researched, this volume explores how American culture, values, demography, and business practices altered the fundamental nature of the European circus, and how, by the end of the 19th century, they had transformed it into a distinctly American pastime. At the peak of its cultural significance, the circus was a sophisticated combination of theater and business, and made effective use of advertising, train travel, and hyperbole. The subjects in The American Circus reflect this complexity, ranging widely from thematic explorations of circus music and elephants to more closely focused studies of objects such as circus toys, souvenirs, and performers’ costumes. The book also explores the dark and even nefarious side of the circus, and its associations with marginalized dimensions of American life and culture. With contributions from leading scholars, this stylishly designed volume aims to identify the salient features of an Americanized cultural product and to analyze its appeal for American audiences.

At the turn of the 20th century, the circus was the most popular form of American entertainment, and New york City was the hub of circus-related activity. Featuring superb archival photography, this book documents a wide variety of ephemera, images, and artifacts relating to the history of the circus in the city, from the seminal equestrian displays of the 18th century to the iconic railroad advertisements of the late 19th century. Matthew Wittmann offers a thorough history of the circus in New york City, including stories of P. T. Barnum’s triumphant entry into the circus business, the famous dwarf General Tom Thumb, and Jumbo, the African elephant that touched off a craze known as “Jumbomania.” The histories of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, the WPA Circus of the Great Depression, and the Big Apple Circus are testaments to the enduring popularity of this American pastime.

Ivy Style

Radical Conformists Edited by Patricia Mears
With contributions by Christopher Breward, G. Bruce Boyer, Christian Chensvold, Peter McNeil, Patricia Mears, and Masafumi Monden

A history of “Ivy Style” in menswear, tracing the origins and diffusion of this enduring and classic fashion
Many of the most familiar sartorial images of the 20th century can be traced to the prestigious college campuses of America. The “Ivy League Look,” or “Ivy Style,” was once a cutting-edge look that for decades led the evolution of menswear. Far more than a classic way of dressing, Ivy Style spread beyond the rarified walls of Harvard, yale, and Princeton to influence countless designers. Focusing on menswear dating from the early 20th century through today, this elegant book traces the main periods of the look: the interwar years when classic items, such as tweed jackets and polo coats, were appropriated from the English man’s wardrobe and redesigned by pioneering American firms such as Brooks Brothers and J. Press for young men at elite East Coast colleges; then from 1945 to the late 1960s, when the staples of Ivy Style—oxford cloth shirts, khaki pants, and penny loafers—were worn by a new, diverse group that included working-class students and jazz musicians; and finally the current revival of the Ivy look that began in the early 1980s. Ivy Style celebrates both high-profile proponents of the style—including the Duke of Windsor, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and Miles Davis—who made the look their own, and designers such as Ralph Lauren, J. McLaughlin, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Bastian, and Thom Browne, who have made it resonate with new generations of style enthusiasts.

Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity
Edited by Gloria Groom
With contributions by Heidi Brevik-Zender, Helen Burnham, Guy Cogeval, Justine De young, Douglas Druick, Gloria Groom, Stéphane Guégan, Birgit Haase, Elizabeth Anne McCauley, Aileen Ribeiro, Valerie Steele, Françoise Tetart-Vittu, Philippe Thiébaut, Gary Tinterow, and David Van Zanten

A groundbreaking publication that explores the social, cultural, and artistic effects of fashion during the Impressionist era
This volume is the first to explore fashion as a critical aspect of modernity, one that paralleled and many times converged with the development of Impressionism, starting in the 1860s and continuing through the next two decades, when fashion attracted the foremost writers and artists of the day. Although they have depicted fashionable subjects throughout history, for many artists and writers, including Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Émile Zola, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, fashion became integral to the search for new literary and visual expression. In a series of essays that examine fashion and its social, cultural, and artistic context during some of the most important years of the Impressionist era—years that also gave birth to the modern fashion industry—a group of fifteen scholars, drawn from five interdisciplinary fields, examine approximately 140 Impressionist-era artworks, including those by dedicated fashion portraitists, in light of the rise of the department store, new working methods for designing clothing, and new social and technological changes that led to the democratization of fashion and, simultaneously, its ascendance as a vehicle for modernity.

Faking It

Manipulated Photography before Photoshop Mia Fineman

An illuminating investigation of photographic manipulation, from the earliest years of the medium to 1990, which explores the techniques and motives behind the altered images
It is a long-held truism that “the camera does not lie.” yet, as Mia Fineman argues in this illuminating volume, that statement contains its own share of untruth. While modern technological innovations, such as Adobe’s Photoshop software, have accustomed viewers to more obvious levels of image manipulation, the practice of “doctoring” photographs has in fact existed since the medium was invented. In Faking It, Fineman demonstrates that today’s digitally manipulated images are part of a continuum that begins with the earliest years of photography, encompassing methods as diverse as overpainting, multiple exposure, negative retouching, combination printing, and photomontage. Among the book’s revelations are previously unknown and never before published images that document the acts of manipulation behind two canonical works of modern photography: one blatantly fantastical (yves klein’s Leap into the Void of 1960); the other a purportedly unadulterated record of a real place in time (Paul Strand’s City Hall Park of 1915). Featuring 160 captivating pictures created between the 1840s and 1990s in the service of art, politics, news, entertainment, and commerce, Faking It provides an essential counterhistory of photography as an inspired blend of fabricated truths and artful falsehoods.

Shipwreck! Winslow Homer and The Life Line
kathleen A. Foster
The Life Line, a thrilling scene of rescue on stormy seas, firmly established Winslow Homer (1836–1910) as one of the leading American painters of his day, and one of the foremost maritime artists of all time. Combining a close analysis of Homer’s masterpiece with an engaging look at the history of images of disaster and rescue in art and popular culture, Shipwreck! explores the making and meaning of an iconic American work of art. kathleen A. Foster locates The Life Line within the tradition of shipwreck paintings from the 17th century onward, as well as in relation to Homer’s earlier work, which also featured themes of disaster, suspense, and salvation. This intriguing book presents new research that tracks Homer’s delicate management of the figures’ erotic embrace, and traces how the artist was influenced by popular contemporary images of drowning, rescue, and mourning as well as the development of new life-saving technologies.

With essays by Julius Bryant, Martina Droth, and Robert Storr, and an interview with Anthony Caro
With a career spanning more than sixty years, Anthony Caro (b. 1924) is one of Britain’s most acclaimed and best-known sculptors. Caro: Close Up accompanies the first survey exhibition of his work in an American museum since his retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1975. Although celebrated for his large, brightly painted abstract sculptures, Caro has also produced drawings and small-scale works of a more private nature throughout his career. The full range of his oeuvre includes works on paper, sculptures constructed in paper and cardboard, and abstract works of steel, bronze, and clay. Featuring new photography of more than sixty works drawn almost entirely from Caro’s studio and family collections, this publication examines the critical responses that Caro’s work has elicited from the 1950s to the present and considers his role in current artistic practice. The authors explore the ways the sculptor has used the physical properties of his materials, while Caro himself discusses his exhibition and installation practices.

Edited by Carlos Basualdo and Erica F. Battle
With an introduction by Carlos Basualdo and Erica F. Battle, an essay by Calvin Tomkins, text selection by Reinaldo Laddaga, and a chronology by Paul B. Franklin

An examination of the interwoven lives and works of Duchamp and four of America’s most important postwar artists
This fascinating book explores the interwoven lives, radical art, and shared experimental spirit of Marcel Duchamp and four of America’s most important postwar artists: composer John Cage, choreographer Merce Cunningham, and visual artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. The publication traces the relationships among all five of these artists by mapping their intersections and examining the depth of their artistic exchanges. At the heart of the publication is an anthology of key texts from selected interviews, magazine articles, and book excerpts, by scholars, critics, and the artists themselves, that together narrate the younger generation’s first connections to Duchamp and his work, which would profoundly redefine his legacy as well as the entire field of contemporary art. A new text by Calvin Tomkins provides an insightful first-person account of his encounters with these artists at a key moment in the 1960s. The book also includes the first extensive chronology that recounts the lives, art, and common projects of this influential group of artists.

Seeing with the Mind’s Eye

With contributions by Roberta Bernstein, Brian M. Reed, James Rondeau, Mark Rosenthal, Nan Rosenthal, Richard Shiff, and John yau

An eloquent, accessible survey of the work of the iconic American artist
For more than sixty years, Jasper Johns has found new ways to explore how art creates meaning in the mind’s eye. His most celebrated paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, with their bold colors, popular imagery, and sculptural elements, had an enormous impact on the development of pop, minimalism, and conceptual art. Johns is undoubtedly one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, and his work has inspired some of the field’s most incisive critical thinking and writing. At eighty-two, Johns is still active, as are his critics and observers. Jasper Johns: Seeing with the Mind’s Eye brings together established and younger scholars with the aim of exposing a new generation to the variety of critical approaches to this contemporary master. Contributions range from historical to critical and poetic and, unlike most large surveys, take a close, indepth look at specific works of art and series, including paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptural pieces, and illustrated books from all periods of Johns’s career.

Becoming van Gogh
Timothy Standring and Louis van Tilborgh
With essays by Simon kelly, Richard kendall, Teio Meedendorp, Nicole Myers, Timothy Standring, Everett van Eitert, and Louis van Tilborgh With a contribution by Alisia Robin Coon

An in-depth exploration of Vincent van Gogh’s unconventional path to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable artists
The career path of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), one of the world’s most recognizable artists, was anything but typical. Focusing on the early stages of van Gogh’s artistic development, Becoming van Gogh illustrates the artist’s efforts to master draftsmanship, understand the challenges of materials and techniques, incorporate color theory, and fold myriad influences into his artistic vocabulary. Van Gogh was aware of avant-garde trends including Georges Seurat’s divisionism, Paul Signac’s and Camille Pissarro’s pointillism, Émile Bernard’s synthetism, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec’s immersion in the bohemian culture of Montmartre. This handsome book features works by van Gogh alongside works by the artists who influenced him, showing how he incorporated elements of their techniques into a style that became, eventually, uniquely his own. It features essays exploring how van Gogh imbued his early works with energy as he strove to master drawing with graphite, ink, and washes; how he began to understand color with watercolor paintings; and how he tested his skill with oils on canvas. The distinguished contributors to this volume offer insight into van Gogh’s temperament, memory, typography, and relationship with his critics, among other topics. Generously illustrated with 150 color images, the book also includes a chronology charting the artist’s stylistic development.

“In landscape paintings during the Civil War years, the skies and geography told a version of the story, bringing together literary metaphor and visual imagery to create a war-inflected layer of meaning. When we consider the literature, speeches, sermons, and letters that invoked stormy weather, volcanic eruptions, and celestial portents to understand the war and all its profound consequences, that imagery gains depth and the paintings’ meaning becomes clearer. Landscape painting thus became the emotional barometer of the mood of the nation.”—Eleanor Harvey

The Civil War and American Art
Eleanor Jones Harvey
A sweeping survey of the impact of the Civil War on American painting and photography in the 19th century
The American Civil War was arguably the first modern war. Its grim reality, captured through the new medium of photography, was laid bare. American artists could not approach the conflict with the conventions of European history painting, which glamorized the hero on the battlefield. Instead, many artists found ways to weave the war into works of art that considered the human narrative—the daily experiences of soldiers, slaves, and families left behind. Artists and writers wrestled with the ambiguity and anxiety of the Civil War and used landscape imagery to give voice to their misgivings as well as their hopes for themselves and the nation. This important book looks at the range of artwork created before, during, and following the war, in the years between 1859 and 1876. Author Eleanor Jones Harvey examines the implications of the war on landscape and genre painting, history painting, and photography, as represented in some of the greatest masterpieces of 19th-century American art. The book features extensive quotations from men and women alive during the war years, alongside text by literary figures including Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman, among many others.

A long-awaited survey of the full range of Stoller’s stunning photography
Ezra Stoller’s iconic photographs of 20th-century architectural masterpieces, such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, are often cited in aiding the rise of modernism in America. Stoller (1915–2004) elevated architectural photography to an art form, capturing the mood of numerous buildings in their best light. Living and working in New york from the early 1940s to the mid-1970s, Stoller photographed buildings by such architects as Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Marcel Breuer, Paul Rudolph, and Louis I. kahn. His striking images earned him the admiration of critics and contemporaries, but few people are aware of the stunning breadth of his oeuvre, which also included domestic and industrial spaces and important editorial depictions of American labor in the 1950s and 1960s. Ezra Stoller, Photographer, a long-awaited and lavishly illustrated survey of Stoller’s artistic accomplishments, examines the photographer’s full range with a fresh eye and unprecedented scope, offering a unique commentary on postwar America’s changing landscape.

Modern Photography and the American Dream

Edited by Jennifer A. Watts
With contributions by Edward R. Bosley, Daniel Gregory, Christopher Hawthorne, Elaine Tyler May, Monica Penick, Charles Phoenix, D.J. Waldie, and Sam Watters

A fascinating look at the work of a photographer whose images documented and shaped the American suburban aesthetic following the Second World War
As a prolific photographer for House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, Architectural Digest, and Sunset magazine, Maynard L. Parker (1900–1976) was a pioneer in documenting residential spaces and landscapes for postwar America. His extensively published, sun-kissed brand of photography made him a critical contributor to domestic design culture from the 1940s into the 1960s. Parker’s lens revealed the homes and lifestyles of affluent Americans and celebrities, including Judy Garland, Clark Gable, and Bing Crosby, as well as the interiors, gardens, and built works of Samuel Marx, Frank Lloyd Wright, Thomas Church, and Cliff May, offering an alluring template for living in a new consumer age. Maynard L. Parker: Modern Photography and the American Dream is the first monograph to consider Parker and his work. Lavishly illustrated essays by leading scholars set Parker’s photography against the backdrop of an unprecedented demographic shift, the Cold War, and a suburban society increasingly fixated on consumption.

Per kirkeby

Paintings and Sculpture Dorothy kosinski and klaus Ottmann

Per kirkeby (b. 1938) is Scandinavia’s most highly acclaimed artist since August Strindberg and Asger Jorn. His early training as a geologist is evident in his richly layered canvases, which are structured like geological strata, constantly in flux, expressing movement and change. This is true as well for his sculptures, of which his best known works are monumental brickwork structures inspired by both traditional Danish houses and Mayan ruins. Per Kirkeby: Paintings and Sculpture is an essential introduction to the work of this important contemporary artist. klaus Ottmann provides an overview of kirkeby’s career, from his early association with Minimalism and the Fluxus movement in the 1960s to his recent work, which marries the poetic and metaphysical to the scientific investigation of object matter. This handsome book also features an interview by Dorothy kosinski with the artist that highlights his unique approach.

Wade Guyton
With an interview by Donna De Salvo
During the past decade, Wade Guyton (b. 1972) has emerged as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his generation by using common technology to reinvent abstraction and question the ways in which images function and circulate. His works range from “drawings” made by printing letters and shapes on found book pages using word-processing software to “paintings” executed by running sheets of primed canvas through a large-format printer. The misuse of these machines results in accidents that create subtle painterly incident while gesturing to a world of technological failure and possibility. Guyton’s works are often deployed in dramatic architectural installations; drawings fill dozens of vitrines and multi-panel paintings stretch fifty feet wide or more than twenty feet high. This book illuminates Guyton’s unconventional working methods and the development of his techniques, showcasing the visual flair and conceptual provocation inherent in his art.

A Catalogue Raisonné, 1941–1991

Robert Motherwell Paintings and Collages
Jack Flam, katy Rogers, and Tim Clifford
The definitive resource on Robert Motherwell’s paintings and collages, featuring previously unpublished materials and documentation of nearly 3,000 works
Robert Motherwell (1915–1991) was one of the preeminent Abstract Expressionists and a spokesperson for that generation of artists. During a career that lasted half a century, he created a large and varied body of work, constantly reinventing and refining his signature motifs. He produced some of the most innovative and profound imagery of the 20th century, such as the Elegy to the Spanish Republic, Iberia, Open, and Summertime in Italy series, as well as one of the largest and most inventive oeuvres in collage.

This monumental catalogue raisonné documents 1,209 paintings on canvas and panel, 722 paintings on paper, and 889 collages, providing extensive information about each work. In the first volume, the authors present an overview of Motherwell’s career, and discuss key topics including the tension between figuration and abstraction in his work, his role as a spokesperson for modernism, and the changing nature of the critical reception of his work. This volume also contains a richly detailed, illustrated chronology of his life. Exquisitely designed and produced, this catalogue will be the definitive reference on Robert Motherwell’s paintings and collages for years to come.

Richard Artschwager!
Jennifer R. Gross
With contributions by Cathleen Chaffee, Ingrid Schaffner, and Adam D. Weinberg

The first exploration of the full range of Richard Artschwager’s experimentation in sculpture, painting, prints, and drawing
For nearly sixty years, Richard Artschwager (b. 1923) has undertaken an unrelenting investigation of art’s ability to mediate contemporary experience and perception. Although his work, which includes sculpture, painting, prints, and drawing, is often characterized as having elements of Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art, his practice defies easy categorization and his oeuvre is not entirely understood. In Richard Artschwager! the breadth of the artist’s idealistic, diverse work, and unconventional materials, such as Formica, rubberized hair, and Celotex, is fully illustrated and explored for the first time. The four essays in this volume illuminate previously unaddressed aspects of Artschwager’s work, including his response to life in the age of mechanical reproduction, the relationship of his work to mainstream art, and his recent work’s connection with Post-Impressionism. These texts, along with new photographs, previously unpublished archival images, and details of his materials, offer a compelling new look at one of the most singular artists of the 20th century and why he remains a highly influential figure today.

Jay DeFeo
Dana Miller

A Retrospective
With contributions by Michael Duncan, Corey keller, Carol Mancusi-Ungaro, and Greil Marcus

A long overdue, comprehensive look at Jay DeFeo’s career as an avant-garde artist
Jay DeFeo (1929–1989) was part of a vibrant community of avant-garde artists, poets, and musicians in San Francisco during the 1950s and 1960s. Her circle included Wallace Berman, Joan Brown, Bruce Conner, Wally Hedrick, Edward kienholz, and Michael McClure. Although best known for her monumental painting The Rose (1958–66), DeFeo worked in a wide range of media and produced an astoundingly diverse and compelling body of work over four decades. DeFeo’s unconventional approach to materials and her intensive, physical method make her a unique figure in postwar American art. In the first comprehensive monograph on DeFeo, Dana Miller looks at the breadth of the artist’s work, her cross-disciplinary practice, broad range of interests and influences, as well as pivotal moments in her career. In addition, Miller dispels misconceptions and assumptions about the artist and also offers new insight into her under-recognized works from the 1970s and 1980s. Greil Marcus explores the significance of titles in DeFeo’s work; Michael Duncan considers her approach to her career and the marketplace; Corey keller looks at DeFeo’s photographic oeuvre; and Carol MancusiUngaro examines her materials and processes. The book features new photography, archival images, and a number of previously unpublished works. Also included are a biographical chronology, an extensive bibliography, and an exhibition history.

Dickens and the Artists
With contributions by Pat Hardy, Leonée Ormond, Nicholas Penny, and Hilary Underwood
Although he is well known for his literary contributions, the connection between Charles Dickens (1812–1870) and art has been largely neglected. A remarkably visual writer, Dickens grew out of a tradition where illustrations formed a significant part of both serial and book. He had long and close friendships with several artists, including Clarkson Stanfield, Daniel Maclise, Frank Stone, and William Powell Frith. He also admired the art of the Old Masters, which he viewed and commented on both in London and during his tours of Europe. Published on the bicentenary anniversary of Dickens’s birth, this book explores his artistic opinions and views by analyzing his own words as well as his use of art in his work. His tastes are manifest not only in his novels, but also in his magazine Household Words. The contributors explore how Dickens and his writing influenced Victorian artists who depicted scenes from his novels or drew inspiration from his subjects and characterizations.

40 Under 40

Craft Futures Nicholas R. Bell

Foreword by Douglas Coupland With contributions by Julia Bryan-Wilson, Bernard L. Herman, and Michael J. Prokopow
In this beautifully illustrated volume, published in celebration of the Renwick Gallery’s fortieth anniversary, author Nicholas Bell highlights forty artists (all under the age of forty) actively engaged in creating objects that are transforming contemporary craft. 40 Under 40 investigates evolving notions of craft within traditional media such as ceramics and metalwork, as well as in fields as varied as sculpture, industrial design, installation art, fashion, and sustainable manufacturing. Viewing craft’s heritage as a set of flexible tools rather than a rigid structure, Bell shows how this exciting group of young artists has produced work that not only breaks boundaries, but also uses an expanded conceptual framework, establishing craft’s important role in the world of contemporary art and culture today.

The Life and Art of Luca Signorelli
Tom Henry
Definitive in its scholarship and thrilling in its scope, this lavishly illustrated volume offers the first book-length study of Luca Signorelli (1445–1523), sometimes described as the “least-known major artist” of the Renaissance. Twenty years of painstaking archival research have produced this portrait of Signorelli in public and private life—an adventurous painter who believed art was divinely inspired, and an affectionate family man who participated energetically in public life. In his paintings—of which the Last Judgement in Orvieto cathedral is his undisputed masterpiece—Signorelli integrated his observations of daily life with a fresh and sensitive approach to representing religious subjects. A student of Piero della Francesca, Signorelli was influential into the early 16th century, though he was ultimately eclipsed by his friends Raphael and Michelangelo. Signorelli’s work is represented in museums around the world, and this book now offers new audiences and scholars a complete picture of one of the Renaissance’s most significant and intriguing artists.

Andrew Hopkins

Baldassare Longhena and Venetian Baroque Architecture
This fascinating book offers the first comprehensive study in English of Baldassare Longhena (1598–1682), the indispensable architect of the Venetian Baroque. While Longhena’s legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17th-century basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice’s deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century. Andrew Hopkins’s lucid and thought-provoking text considers the full span of Longhena’s illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice’s Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 black-and-white photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena’s work is included in an appendix.

Business leader and arts patron Sir Edwin A. G. Manton (1909–2005) and his wife Florence, Lady Manton, assembled an outstanding collection of 18th- and 19th-century British artwork. A gift to the Clark Art Institute from the Manton Foundation in 2007, their collection features more than three hundred oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints, including works by John Constable, J. M. W. Turner, Thomas Gainsborough, and William Blake. In a series of wide-ranging essays, prominent scholars consider the major works and themes in the collection, relating them to larger issues within the field of British studies. Individual essays are devoted to Constable’s oil sketches, cloud studies, and magisterial painting The Wheat Field; the growth of the watercolor tradition; print portfolios and narrative series; Thomas Rowlandson’s satiric drawings; and Gainsborough’s use of experimental materials as revealed through recent scientific analysis. The volume concludes with an illustrated checklist of the works in the collection.

The Search for Immortality
Tomb Treasures of Han China James C. S. Lin
The Han dynasty was the first to forge a stable empire governing all of China. It ruled during a golden age that shaped much of the nation’s cultural history and development. In an effort to preserve their legacy of beauty and power, the Han created elaborate tombs containing exquisite artistic treasures intended for use in the afterlife. The finest of these treasures to have survived include exquisite jades, bronzes, and ceramics, found in the tombs of the Han imperial family and of a rival “emperor” of Nanyue. Many of the items, including warrior statues, dancing figures, and priceless jewels—intended to ensure protection, entertainment, and continued wealth and status, respectively—are brought together for the first time in this stunning publication. Featuring newly commissioned photography and essays by leading scholars, this sumptuously illustrated catalogue presents a ground-breaking account of the finest treasures from the Han dynasty.

Jacob Jordaens and Antiquity

Edited by Joost Vander Auwera and Irène Schaudies
Jacob Jordaens (1593–1678) was a Flemish Baroque painter whose work has largely been overshadowed by his contemporaries Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. Providing new insight on the artist as well as art historical context for his works, Jacob Jordaens and Antiquity emphasizes his strategic intelligence with respect to imagery and the art market and challenges the common characterization of Jordaens as a bourgeois artist of genre scenes. Jordaens’s work is examined as an example of classical culture being introduced into the commercial and intellectual life of Antwerp. He was an artist with an unusual talent for conveying imagery from classical literature, ranging from Satyr and Peasant to Diogenes Searching for an Honest Man. Focusing on the theme of antiquity, this volume features eighty paintings, drawings, tapestries, and sculptures from private collections and major museums, including the Museo Nacional del Prado in Spain and the Statens Museum for kunst in Denmark.

Antwerp Art after Iconoclasm

Experiments in Decorum, 1566–1585 koenraad Jonckheere
The beeldenstorm, or the Iconoclastic Fury, that raged throughout the Low Countries in 1566 is a key concept in Netherlandish history. This popular uprising, which was partially grafted on Protestant ideas, has traditionally and unquestioningly been considered a turning point in the history of the Low Countries. It is all the more striking, therefore, that this occurrence has received scant attention in art history and that there has been little interest in the development of painting just after the beeldenstorm and before the advent of the great Baroque masters. Featuring previously unpublished materials, Antwerp Art after Iconoclasm investigates how the esteemed painters of the period—including Adriaen Thomasz key, Maarten de Vos, Frans Pourbus the Elder, and Michiel Coxcie—sought a new visual idiom. This study explains why this period of Netherlandish history should be considered an important turning point in the broader context of art history. It demonstrates that the era’s paintings represent a subtle but nonetheless important reinterpretation of the traditional, religious iconography and style, which served as the starting point of Netherlandish Baroque style.

Titian

A Fresh Look at Nature Antonio Mazzotta
Titian (c. 1485–1576) is best known for his portraits and mythological and religious works. yet his first great achievement was to refashion the portrayal of nature in his own distinctive style. He did this by studying the work of Albrecht Dürer, whose naturalistic paintings of plants, animals, and landscape had caused a sensation in Venice in the first decade of the 16th century. In this beautifully illustrated book, Antonio Mazzotta presents this experience, together with Titian’s native landscape of Pieve di Cadore, as crucial influences in the artist’s early representation of nature. The recently restored Flight into Egypt (now in the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg)—probably painted when Titian was still a teenager—is vivid proof of his interest in the depiction of animals, plants, and figures in the landscape. The author shows how Titian’s contemporaries Bellini, Giorgione, and del Piombo also influenced his unique and innovative approach to painting nature.
ANTONIO MAZZOTTA was Pidem Curatorial Assistant at the National Gallery between 2008 and 2010, and is now researching Venetian art of the early 16th century at the University of Milan.

The Gift Tradition in Islamic Art
Linda komaroff
The offering of gifts is a practice nearly as ancient and widespread as human culture itself. At courts throughout the Islamic world, the exchange of lavish gifts and endowments intimately linked art with diplomacy and royal ambitions, religion, and personal relationships. This beautifully illustrated book explores the complex interplay between artistic production and gift-based patronage by discussing works of great aesthetic refinement that were either commissioned or repurposed as gifts. By tracing the unique histories of certain artworks, the author reveals how the exchange of luxury objects was central to the circulation, emulation, and assimilation of artistic forms both within and beyond the Islamic world. The catalogue features seventy illustrations of artworks from the 8th to the 20th century. These include some of the most beautiful and least-known objects from the Islamic world, such as jewelry, armor and weaponry, enormous and ornate carpets, and illustrated copies of the Qur’an.

Gego’s Reticulárea, An Anthology of Critical Response Edited by María Elena Huizi and Ester Crespín
Introduction by Mari Carmen Ramírez

Gego (1912–1994) pioneered a new direction in art with her innovative sculptures of the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Germany as Gertrud Goldschmidt, she fled the Nazi regime and moved to Caracas, Venezuela, where she absorbed modernist trends 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 Reticulárea, 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 Gego’s career. Centered on the various iterations of this work and its artistic impact, this anthology—published on the one-hundredth anniversary of Gego’s birth—brings together images as well as documentary materials and primary texts in English and Spanish by artists, writers, and Gego.

Condo Living in the Suburban Century Matthew Gordon Lasner
Today, one in five homeowners in American cities and suburbs lives in a multifamily home rather than a single-family dwelling. As the American dream evolves, precipitated by declining real estate prices and a renewed interest in city living, many predict that condos will become the predominant form of housing in the 21st century. In this unprecedented study Matthew Gordon Lasner explores the history of co-owned multifamily housing in the United States, from New york City’s first co-op, in 1881, to contemporary condo and townhouse complexes coast to coast. Lasner explains the complicated social, economic, and political factors that have increased demand for this way of living, situating the trend within the larger housing market and broad shifts in residential architecture. He contrasts the prevalence and popularity of condos, townhouses, and other privately governed communities with their ambiguous economic, legal, and social standing, as well as their striking absence from urban and architectural history.

Opus + One yasmil Raymond

Jean-Luc Moulène
With contributions by Corinne Diserens, Briony Fer, Manuel Joseph, Tom McDonough, yasmil Raymond, Jalal Toufic, and Philippe Vergne
Since the late 1980s, Jean-Luc Moulène (b. 1955) has developed a body of work informed by a critical investigation of artistic authorship, addressing such issues as autonomy, immanence, and anarchic politics. Although he is best known for his enigmatic and seductive large-format photographs, Moulène has maintained a parallel exploration of materials and objects—manufactured and found, industrial and organic, intimate and imposing—that he has collectively titled Opus. This book, the first critical study of Moulène’s work, brings together leading scholars to examine the artist’s diverse aesthetic strategies and interests in the relationships between social and political arenas and systems and orders, including geometry, mathematics, social sciences, and human behavior. Featured essays also examine Moulène’s theoretical and playful inquiries into the plasticity of materials and the ways we see and understand both still and moving images.

Since the early 1990s, koo Jeong A (b. 1967) has created ephemeral environments, sculptures, and drawings that examine the poetics of everyday life and the mysteries of imagination. This book, the first critical study of koo’s work, looks at the past two decades of her artistic practice, including her recent multimedia presentation commissioned by Dia Art Foundation. Following the artist’s longtime interest in natural phenomena and sensory experience, Constellation Congress features a diverse group of texts encompassing art historical, philosophical, scientific, and literary voices that offer insightful considerations into the intricacies of the artist’s method and conception of art in which the most ordinary objects—a puddle of water, a pile of charcoal, or a ray of light—are graced with dignity and reverence.

The Last Sane Man: Michael Cardew

Modern Pots, Colonialism, and the Counterculture Tanya Harrod
British studio potter Michael Cardew (1901–1983) was a man of paradox, a modernist who disliked modernity, a colonial servant who despised Empire, and an intellectual who worked with his hands. After graduating from Oxford in 1923, he made majestic slipware alongside legendary potter Bernard Leach. Wartime service in Ghana made Cardew fiercely critical of British overseas policies; he remained in West Africa intermittently until 1965, founding a local tradition of stoneware. Beginning in the late 1960s, he traveled through Australia and North America, teaching pottery and demonstrating against racism and its consequences. By the time of his death, he had established himself as one of the finest 20thcentury potters and as a voice of political dissent and counterculture. This is the first biography of his remarkable life. Harrod’s engaging narrative includes interviews with friends, students, and Cardew’s two surviving sons. Also included are previously unpublished photographs of Cardew and his family, as well as color images of his work.
TANyA HARROD is an independent design historian, the author of the prize-winning The Crafts in Britain in the 20th Century and the co-editor of the Journal of Modern Craft.

Spanish Drawings in the Princeton University Art Museum
With contributions by Jonathan Brown, Robert Lubar, and Pierre Rosenberg
The Princeton University Art Museum’s collection of Spanish drawings includes masterworks by artists such as Jusepe de Ribera (1591–1652), Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682), Francisco Goya (1746–1828), Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), and Salvador Dalí (1904–1989). Although many of the drawings in the collection relate to celebrated paintings, commissions, and other works by these artists, they remain largely unknown. Most have not been published previously and many are attributed here for the first time. In Spanish Drawings in the Princeton University Art Museum, preeminent scholars enrich the growing corpus of work on Spanish drawings with original research. Each of the 95 drawings is reproduced in color, often accompanied by comparative illustrations. Watermarks have been documented with beta radiography and are included in an appendix. Provenances and artist biographies round out this detailed record of one of the most important collections of its kind.
LISA A. BANNER has written extensively on Spanish baroque art and has contributed to exhibition catalogues, symposia, and conferences throughout the world, most recently co-curating The Spanish Manner at The Frick Collection (2010–11).

Dancing Into Dreams

With contributions by Christina T. Halperin, Antonia E. Foias, and Sarah Nunberg
Dancing Into Dreams explores 8th-century Maya vase painting of the Ik’ kingdom, located in the tropical lowlands of present day Guatemala. Ik’ vases are acclaimed for their naturalistic color, veristic portraiture, and calligraphic line. Their painted surfaces depict historical subject matter and often include the names of the artists and patrons, as well as hieroglyphic explanations of the portrayed events and vessel production. Collectively, such self-consciously historical works offer a precision and nuance, unparalleled in the ancient Americas, to the study of the role of art in elite society. Authoritative and accessible, this handsomely illustrated volume presents a history of Ik’ vase painting and describes the dramatic scenes represented on the vases with compelling and historically accurate vignettes.

Ancient Glass in the Princeton University Art Museum Anastassios Antonaras
For the first time, this important volume features nearly all of the ancient glass objects in the collection of the Princeton University Art Museum. Collected over the course of more than a century, the objects originate from locations across the eastern Mediterranean region. Taken together, the 509 ancient glass vessels and plaques provide a timeline of archaeological and cultural history from the middle of the second millennium b.C. to the rise of Islam in the 7th century. An introductory essay by award-winning scholar Anastassios Antonaras summarizes the history of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine glass, with a special emphasis on people—workers, artisans, owners, and vendors—and on the processes they used to create and decorate these artifacts. Conveniently arranged according to production technique, each entry in Fire and Sand features a color photograph, ink drawing, and detailed description.

The Islands of Benoît Mandelbrot
Fractals and the Materiality of Thinking Nina Samuel
Over the past few decades, the “pictorial turn” in the natural sciences, prompted by the computer’s capacity to produce visual representations, has generated considerable theoretical interest. Poised between their materiality and the abstract level they are meant to convey, scientific images are always intersections of form and meaning. Benoît Mandelbrot (1924–2010), one of the best-known producers of digital images in scientific and industrial research, was particularly curious about the ways in which the materiality of scientific representation was able to influence the development of the ideas and abstractions the images embodied. Using images and objects found in Mandelbrot’s office, this book questions the relationship between the visual and scientific reasoning in fractal geometry and chaos theory, among the most popular fields to use digital scientific imagery in the past century. These unpublished materials offer new connections between the material world and that of mathematical ideas. Work by Adrien Douady and Otto Rössler provides historical depth to the analysis.
NINA SAMUEL is a visiting assistant professor at the Bard Graduate Center and an associate member of Das Technische Bild in Germany.

Designing Antiquity

Owen Jones, Ancient Egypt and the Crystal Palace Stephanie Moser
In the 19th century, designers became involved in the public presentation of the past, focusing specifically on the decoration of historical monuments. By exploring ornamental designs and the way they represented the cultural concerns of distant civilizations, and in addressing how color may have originally been applied to exteriors and interiors, designers animated the past and incited a new passion for the ancient world.

A crucial figure in this movement was the designer and architect Owen Jones (1809–1874), who from the 1830s until his death pioneered the study of ancient ornament and its central role in historical traditions of art. Particularly significant were the series of Fine Arts Courts that Jones designed in 1854 for the Crystal Palace’s relocation to Sydenham. The ten displays on the great cultures of the ancient world featured detailed re-creations of palaces and courts. Designing Antiquity focuses on Jones’s Egyptian Court, which produced a fundamental shift in the way Egyptian art was understood in the second half of the 19th century.

Art and Architecture—Scholarly and Academic

With contributions by Didier Semin, Laurent Busine, Benjamin Buchloh, Daniela Lancioni, and Ruggero Penone
Giuseppe Penone’s work is characterized by the beauty of its form and materials as well as the existential questions it raises. Associated with the Arte Povera movement and focusing as much on the creative process as on the work itself, the artist identifies himself with the river, the breath, and, more abstractly, movement and life. His works have been exhibited around the world, including his famous l’Arbre des voyelles (1999) in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. In 2013, Penone will be exhibiting as Guest of Honour in the Chateau de Versailles. Combining historical, scientific, and poetic approaches, this handsome volume is structured around seven key themes in Penone’s work: breath, eyes, skin, heart, blood, memory, and speech. Giuseppe Penone includes documentation of the artist’s sculptures, drawings, photographs, and writings, and provides a fascinating overview of one of today’s major international artists.

Visual Judaism in Late Antiquity
Historical Contexts of Jewish Art Lee I. Levine
A new type of Jewish art emerged in Late Antiquity, when artists produced visual depictions that had not existed earlier within a Jewish context—figural images (including pagan motifs), biblical scenes, and religious symbols. Visual Judaism locates this phenomenon in the wider context of Late Antiquity, revealing new insights into the role of visual culture in Jewish society, in which individual communities determined what forms of artistic expression would be displayed in their synagogues. Following introductory chapters surveying Jewish art over fifteen hundred years, down to the third century C.e., author Lee I. Levine focuses on the wealth of archaeological, artistic, and textual material from the third to seventh century, demonstrating how this artistic activity responded to new historical circumstances.
LEE I. LEVINE is professor emeritus of the Rev. Moses Bernard Lauterman Family Chair in Classical Archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has published numerous books, including The Ancient Synagogue: The First Thousand Years (yale).

Peruvian Featherworks

With essays by Mercedes Delgado, Mary Frame, Christine Giuntini, Johan Reinhard, Ann Pollard Rowe, and Santiago Uceda
Of universal appeal and great beauty, Peruvian featherworking was part of a highly sophisticated textile tradition spanning several thousand years. Although these rare treasures, which include vibrantly colored and detailed garments, headdresses, personal ornaments, and ritual objects, have been admired and collected by connoisseurs for decades, this unusual and exquisite art form has not been much investigated or published. Peruvian Featherworks, a magnificently illustrated publication, is the first in-depth and authoritative review of featherworking traditions in Ancient Peru. Written by seven international experts in the textile arts and archaeology, the texts include a discussion of important recent discoveries, considerations of iconography, and basic technical characteristics of featherworks. Nearly seventy outstanding pieces are discussed, as well as evidence of feather mosaic on textiles and other media in most major Andean cultures, from the Paracas (about 600–100 b.C.) through the Inca (1470–1534).

Today’s photography is part of our own cultural moment, but it also arises from artistic traditions of the past. Seduced by Art looks at the effects of art and its history on the creation of photographs, tracing continuities in aims, visual style, and technical experimentation. This sumptuous book shows how photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron sought to elevate the status of their work by referencing Old Masters. Similarly, contemporary practitioners look to their photographic predecessors, as well as art history, for inspiration. Among the many photographers featured are Ori Gersht, Luc Delahaye, Thomas Struth, Tom Hunter, and Helen Chadwick, and paintings from Caravaggio, Zurbarán, Delacroix, Ingres, Constable, and others. Each chapter takes a genre—portraiture, the nude, still life, and landscape—and discusses the challenges that each poses for photographers. Interviews with Tina Barney, Rineke Dijkstra, Richard Billingham, Richard Learoyd, Sarah Jones, and Maisie Maud Broadhead focus indepth on contemporary working practices.

The Archaeology of Polis Chrysochous, Cyprus Edited by William A. P. Childs, Joanna S. Smith, and J. Michael Padgett
The modern Cypriot town of Polis Chrysochous—“City of Gold”—lies above the city of Arsinoe and the earlier city-kingdom of Marion. In 1885 excavators began exploring the extensive cemeteries of these cities. Since 1983 the Princeton Cyprus Expedition has focused on the remains of sanctuaries, public buildings, workshops, and private residences spanning the Geometric through Classical periods of Marion and the Hellenistic through Roman, early Christian, and medieval periods of Arsinoe. Combining archaeological investigation and historical analysis, City of Gold relates the discoveries establishing that these cities had close ties with Greece and with regions from Egypt to Anatolia, findings best represented by the painted vases and terracotta sculptures of Marion and the architecture of Arsinoe. Nearly half of the 110 artifacts included in the catalogue are previously unpublished, and another third are published in detail for the first time.

Naturalism and Style in Early Third Republic France, 1880–1900 Richard Thomson
The French Republic—with its rallying cry for liberty, equality, and fraternity—emerged in 1870, and by 1880 had developed a coherent republican ideology. The regime pursued secular policies and emphasized its commitment to science and technology. Naturalism was an ideal aesthetic match for the republican ideology; it emphasized that art should be drawn from the everyday world, that all subjects were worthy of treatment, and that there should be flexibility in representation to allow for different voices. Art of the Actual examines the use of naturalism in the 19th-century. It explores how pictures by artists such as Roll, Lhermitte, and Friant could be read as egalitarian and republican, assesses how well-known painters including Degas, Monet, and Toulouse-Lautrec situated their painting vis-à-vis the dominant naturalism, and opens up new arguments about caricatural and popular style. By illuminating the role of naturalism in a broad range of imagery in late 19th-century France, Richard Thomson provides a new interpretation of the art of the period.

Arlington National Cemetery
With Richard Shiff and yasufumi Nakamori
Ewan Gibbs (b. 1973) has quickly become one of the most exhibited, collected, and admired artists working today. His unique visual vocabulary—self-described as “found language”—can be clearly seen in his drawings that re-create photographic images, often of major architectural landmarks worldwide. Arlington National Cemetery introduces Gibbs’s latest project, eighteen drawings that focus on the gravestones at the United States’s most hallowed resting place. The book includes essays that illuminate aspects of Gibbs’s artistic practice, including the precise tools and methods that he employs to create his meticulously rendered drawings. A preface by the artist explains what inspired him to explore this American landmark, and the images are presented accordion-style, so that readers may contemplate them as a series.

Trickery and Illusion Helen Langdon

Caravaggio’s Cardsharps

The Cardsharps, one of the paintings that launched Caravaggio’s spectacular career in Rome, captured the turbulent social reality of the city in the 1590s. This early masterpiece not only documented one of the everyday activities of Rome’s citizens, but its vivid, lifelike style also opened the door to a revolutionary naturalism that would spread throughout Europe. Helen Langdon, the scholar whose illuminating Caravaggio: A Life became a best-seller, returns to her subject and his milieu in this new, richly illustrated volume. She sets Caravaggio’s Cardsharps within the context of contemporaneous literature, art theory, and theater and incorporates new archival research to enliven our understanding of the painter’s time, place, and contemporaries. By fully analyzing one of Caravaggio’s most daringly novel works, Langdon demonstrates the significant influence he had on the future of European art.

From Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean in the Second Millennium b.C. Edited by Joan Aruz, Sarah Graff, and yelena Rakic
In conjunction with the 2008–9 exhibition Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy in the Second Millennium B.C. at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a series of lectures brought together major international scholars in a variety of fields concerned with the worlds of the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean in the middle and late Bronze Ages. Interconnections among these rich and complex civilizations extending from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean were developed in detail, ranging from reports of new archaeological discoveries and insightful art historical interpretations of material culture, to innovative investigations of literary, historical, and political aspects of interactions among these great powers. This symposium volume, containing twenty-six essays, is an ideal companion to the exhibition catalogue, providing compelling overviews of the ancient Near Eastern and eastern Mediterranean cultures during this period that are both broad and deep in their range.

Portrait Painting and the Urban Elite of Tudor and Jacobean England and Wales Tarnya Cooper
For much of early modern history, the opportunity to be immortalized in a portrait was explicitly tied to social class: only landed elite and royalty had the money and power to commission such an endeavor. But in the second half of the 16th century, access began to widen to the urban middle class, including merchants, lawyers, physicians, clergy, writers, and musicians. As portraiture proliferated in English cities and towns, the middle class gained social visibility—not just for themselves as individuals, but for their entire class or industry. In Citizen Portrait, Tarnya Cooper examines the patronage and production of portraits in Tudor and Jacobean England, focusing on the motivations of those who chose to be painted and the impact of the resulting images. Highlighting the opposing, yet common, themes of piety and self-promotion, Cooper has revealed a fresh area of interest for scholars of early modern British art.

Eccentric Objects

Rethinking Sculpture in 1960s America Jo Applin
In America during the 1960s, sculpture as an artistic practice underwent a series of radical transformations. Artists including Lee Bontecou, Claes Oldenburg, Lucas Samaras, H. C. Westermann, and Bruce Nauman offered alternative ways of imagining the three-dimensional object. The objects they created were variously described as erotic, soft, figurative, aggressive, bodily, or, in the words of the critic Lucy Lippard, “eccentric.” Looking beyond the familiar and canonic artworks of the 1960s, the book challenges not only how we think about these artists, but how we learn to look at the more familiar narratives of 1960s sculpture, such as Pop and Minimalism. Ambivalent and disruptive, the work of this decade articulated a radical renegotiation—rejection, even—of contemporary paradigms of sculptural practice. This invigorating study explores that shift and the ways in which the kinds of work made in this period defied established categories and questioned the criteria for thinking about sculpture.

Painting a Map of Sixteenth-Century Mexico City

Land, Writing, and Native Rule Edited by Mary E. Miller and Barbara E. Mundy
In 1975, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of yale University acquired an exceptional mid-16th-century map of Mexico City, which, until 1521, had been the capital of the Aztecs, the Nahua-speaking peoples who dominated the Valley of Mexico. This extraordinary six-bythree-foot document, showing landholdings and indigenous rulers, has yielded a wealth of information about the artistic, linguistic, and material culture of the Nahua after the Spanish invasion. This book marks the first publication of both the complete map and the multi-disciplinary research that it spurred.

A distinguished team of specialists in history, art history, linguistics, and conservation science has worked together for nearly a decade; the scientific analysis of the map’s pigments and paper in 2007 marks the most thorough examination of a pictorial document from early colonial Mexico to date. The result of their work, the essays in Painting a Map of Sixteenth-Century Mexico, not only focuses on the map but also explores the situation of the indigenous people of Mexico City in the 16th century and their interactions with Europeans.

Richard Hamilton

The Late Works Christopher Riopelle and Michael Bracewell
For decades the most continually provocative of British artists, Richard Hamilton (1922–2011, right) was long concerned with the great themes of Western painting. At the time of his death, he was completing plans for an exhibition at the National Gallery, London, to include the first public showing of what turned out to be his final work. Based on Balzac’s short story, The Unknown Masterpiece, it depicts three masters of painting—Poussin, Courbet, and Titian—contemplating a reclining female nude and reflecting on the meaning of art. As with much of Hamilton’s late work, the image was generated by computer but over-painted by hand. knowing he would not complete it, Hamilton decided to show three preparatory versions simultaneously. In addition, he selected thirty paintings tracing the development of his art, featuring single-point perspective and the depiction of interior spaces, the sacred imagery of the Italian Renaissance, and allusions to the art of Marcel Duchamp.

Nineteenth-Century European Paintings at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
With an essay by Richard Rand
The core of the Clark’s collection was assembled by Robert Sterling Clark (1877–1956), who once declared, “I like all kinds of art if it is good of its kind.” This monumental, two-volume publication is the first fully documented catalogue of the Institute’s collection of European paintings. The quality of this collection reflects the founder’s philosophy in its inclusion of masterpieces as diverse as William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s Nymphs and Satyr (1873) and Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s A Box at the Theater (1880); works by academic painters such as Jean-Léon Gérôme; Barbizon painters such as Camille Corot and Jean-François Millet; and the Impressionists Camille Pissarro and Edgar Degas. More recent acquisitions include Théodore Rousseau’s Farm in the Landes (1844–67) and Claude Monet’s Rouen Cathedral (1894), and works by John Constable and J. M. W. Turner.

Eye on a Century celebrates a cornerstone of the yale University Art Gallery’s holdings: the Charles B. Benenson Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art. This major bequest includes works by a veritable pantheon of modern and contemporary artists—among them Jean-Michel Basquiat, Stuart Davis, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, James Rosenquist, and David Smith. The catalogue provides exciting new scholarship on some of the collection’s most significant objects, including works by Alexander Calder, kurt Schwitters, and Pablo Picasso, alongside lesser-known works, by artists such as Alicia Penalba, David Wojnarowicz, and Martin Wong, several of which have never before been published. The introduction, which examines the context of Benenson’s collecting, is followed by more than fifty catalogue entries and an illustrated checklist of the complete collection.
CATHLEEN CHAFFEE is the Horace W. Goldsmith Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the yale University Art Gallery.

Ayrshire and Arran

The Buildings of Scotland Rob Close and Anne Riches
Ayrshire and Arran is an area of striking contrasts. Its landscape ranges from sand dunes to rolling pastures to moors. The local architecture is similarly diverse, marrying natural beauty with industry and modernity. This survey, featuring specially commissioned photographs and maps, offers the kind of detailed and comprehensive analysis for which the Pevsner Architectural Guides are known. Highlights include the monument at the Skelmorlie Aisle and Robert Burns’s birthplace in Alloway; the stones of Machrie Moor; medieval castles and planned towns; early churches and abbeys; and some of the best-known country houses, Culzean Castle and Dumfries House.
ROB CLOSE is the author of Ayrshire & Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide. ANNE RICHES is co-author of the volume in this series on Glasgow (1990) and a former chairman of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain.
