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.

A penetrating analysis of American democracys 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
Americas political system is dysfunctional. While this is a widely held view, it is a problem thatso farhas 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.

Why Italy Must Conquer Its Demons to Face the Future Bill Emmott
An original analysis of the war between the two opposing sides of Italys national character
Not long ago Italy was Europes 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. Italys 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 Italythe land of disgraced Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, an inadequate justice system, an economy dominated by special interests and continuing corruptionagainst its contrasting foil Good Italy, the home of enthusiastic entrepreneurs, truth-seeking journalists, and countless citizens determined to end mafia domination for good.

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 Floridas 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.

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 economyforces 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 Americas 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. Thats Americas real crisis. America the Possible takes all this head on; it is the broadest in scope and boldest in ambition of the three books.
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. Weve got to save our democracy from creeping corporatocracy and plutocracy, and weve got to do it soon.

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 economythe countrys basic operating systemwhere transformative change is essential. It spells out the specific changes that are needed to move toward a new political economyone 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.

Archaeology of the Land of the Bible Eric M. Meyers and Mark A. Chancey
The definitive book on the archaeology of Palestine from Alexander the Greats conquest to Constantines reign
Drawing on the most recent, groundbreaking archaeological research, Eric M. Meyers and Mark A. Chancey re-narrate the history of ancient Palestine in this comprehensive and richly illustrated book. Covering the span from the conquest of Alexander the Great in the fourth century b.C.e. until the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century C.e., the authors synthesize archaeological evidence with ancient literary sources, including the Bible, to offer a sustained overview of the tumultuous intellectual and religious changes of the Greco-Roman period. Meyers and Chancey demonstrate how the transformation of the ancient Near East under the influence of the Greeks and then the Romans led to foundational changes in both the material and intellectual worlds In this succinct but highly informative of the Levant.

Q: Whats 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.
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 whileat 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.

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.

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.

I cannot find the last volume of my diary which covers about 18 months from last September. . . . It wouldnt be very nice if it got into the wrong hands. Its too revealing about other people, but above all about myself. Its 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.

The miraculous face and shoulders and breasts set it off to perfection.

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.

Political Philosophy
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.
STEVEN B. SMITH is Alfred Cowles Professor of Political Science, yale University. His previous books include the prize-winning Spinoza, Liberalism, and the Question of Jewish Identity and Spinozas Book of Life, both published by yale University Press. He lives in New Haven, CT.

Jacob
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 greedthen, 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 suppressedtales 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 Jacobs 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 Africas 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 Africas culture, religion, history, imagination, and identity. He seeks to understand how the continents history is entwined with the histories of others, while exploring Africas truest assets: its humanity, the quality and valuation of its own existence, and modes of managing its environmentboth physical and intangible (which includes the spiritual). Fully grasping the extent of Africas 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. Soyinkas exploration of Africa relocates the continent in the readers 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.
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 was the most moving thing you learned in researching Geronimos life?
A: The most moving, or surprising, revelation was that in Geronimos 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.

John Browns 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 Harpers Ferry armory in 1859. Cook was a poet, a marksman, a boaster, a dandy, a fighter, and a womanizeras well as a spy.

Jewish continuity always hinged on uttered and written words, on an expanding maze of interpretations, debates, and disagreements, and on a unique human rapport. In synagogue, at school, and most of all in the home, it always involved two or three generations deep in conversation. Ours is not a bloodline but a textline. There is a tangible sense in which Abraham and Sarah,
Rabban Gamliel, Glickel of Hameln, and the present authors all belong to the same family tree. Such continuity has recently been disputed: there was no such thing as Jewish nation, we are told, before modern ideologues deviously dreamed it up. Well, we disagree. Not because we are
nationalists. One purpose of this book is to reclaim our ancestry, but also to explain what kind of ancestry, in our view, is worth the effort of reclaiming. We are not about stones, clans, or chromosomes. You dont have to be an archeologist, an anthropologist, or a geneticist to trace and substantiate the Jewish continuum. You dont have to be an observant Jew. You dont have to be a Jew. Or, for that matter, an anti-Semite. All you have to be is a reader.

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 Brunners brief historyenriched by a selection of delightful and unusual historical illustrationsspans 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 kennedys Nutcracker Tree in the White House, trees used to celebrate the New year in Turkey, and the worlds 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.

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.

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.

Hitlers Philosophers
yvonne Sherratt
A gripping account of the philosophers who supported Hitlers 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 Hitlers relationship with philosophers and uncovers cruelty, ambition, violence, and betrayal where least expectedat the heart of Germanys ivory tower. Sherratt investigates international archives, discovering evidence back to the 1920s of Hitlers 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 Adornos 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 Hunsrck Slate west of the Rhine Valley in western Germany. Excavations there have yielded the most diverse and surpassingly beautiful collection of marine With this book we may take a kind of fossils of the Devonian period ever discovered. This book pays tribute to the exquisite fossils of the Hunsrck Slate. Large full-color photographic plates display fossil sponges, brachiopods, clams, starfish, sea lilies, trilobites, worms, sea spiders, sea stars, crustaceans, corals, and many other species. An accessible commentary recounts the discovery of the fossils and explains how the slate was formed, how the animals are preserved, the significance of the fossils, and the controversies that surround them.

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 collapsesthe 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. Parkers 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 preparedor even preparingfor the catastrophes that climate change brings?

Within weeks of September 11, the United States had orchestrated regime change in Afghanistan. Prisoners, by the hundreds, were a dividend of this surprisingly rapid success. With U.S. forces offering bounties for al-Qaeda fighters, typically $5,000 or so, Afghan tribesmen turned over hundreds more, assuring the Americans that the prisoners were terrorists. The U.S. commander, General Tommy Franks, didnt want the small
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 Pentagons 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 Bushs command. Officials called it rough justice. Guantanamo would be al-Qaedas 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 handsAbu 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 first inside account of Americas continuing legal experiment at Guantanamo Baya 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. militarys prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they were subject to President George W. Bushs executive order authorizing their trial by military commissions. Jess Bravin, the Wall Street Journals Supreme Court correspondent, was there within days of the prisons 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 justiceissues 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 Pentagons 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 Guantanamoand vindicate the legal experiment the Bush administration could barely get off the groundThe Terror Courts could not be more timely.

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.

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, Stalins Russia, and China two months after Maos revolution. She was a woman of unusual accomplishmentan anthropologist, a prolific journalist, a tireless advocate of womens 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 Essies eventful life, the book explores her influence on her husbands early career and how she later achieved her own unique political voice. Essies friendships with a host of literary icons and world leaders, her renown as a fierce defender of justice, her defiant testimony before Senator Joseph McCarthys infamous anti-communist committee, and her unconventional open marriage that endured for over 40 yearsall are brought to light in the pages of this inspiring biography. Essies indomitable personality shines through, as do her contributions to United States and twentieth-century world history.
BARBARA RANSBy is professor in the departments of African American Studies, Gender and Women Studies, and History, and director of the Gender and Women Studies Program, University of Illinois, Chicago. She is author of the award-winning Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement, and a respected scholar-activist for many years.

A biography that restores Americas 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 Americas enduring culture wars, Robert Green Ingersoll was known as the Great Agnostic. The nations 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 Americas 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 todaywas 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 marketit 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.

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 todays 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 books Washington, one of the richest Americans of his day, timely message should have an impact the robber baron John D.

Blindly
Claudio Magris
Translated by Anne Milano Appel
Hailed as a masterpiece when first published in Italy, Magriss 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 Europes 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 Titos 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 monologuepart confession, part psychiatric sessiona 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. He is the author of Danube, a bestselling novel now translated into more than twenty languages, and in 2001 he was awarded the Erasmus Prize. He has translated into Italian the works of such authors as Ibsen, kleist, Schnitzler, Buchner, and Grillparzer. ANNE MILANO APPEL is a professional translator.

A brilliant retelling of the classic Arab tale of Scheherazade, set in the present day
This volume brings Moroccan poet Rachida Madanis 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 societyissues 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 kings bride and then invents the legendary tales that go on for a thousand and one nights, Shehriyar is healed of his obsession and the kingdoms virgins are saved. Like her brave-hearted predecessor, Madanis modern-day Scheherazade is fighting for her own life as well as the lives of her fellow sufferers. But in todays 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. MARILyN HACkER is a poet, translator, and critic. For her work she has received a National Book Award, a PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, and a PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry, among other prizes. She lives in Paris.

A moving collection of poems by internationally acclaimed Greek poet Kiki Dimoula, brilliantly translated into English
kiki Dimoulas poetrythe most praised and prized in contemporary Greek literatureis 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 Dimoulas 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 Dimoulas work is at once accessible meaning. Cecile Inglessis Margellos and Rika Lesser, in its themes: notably grief, that of Dimoulas award-winning translators, have re-created the widow in particular, mortality, an her styles 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.

The Genius
While the experience of Jews in modernity has often been described as a process of Western European secularizationwith Jews becoming citizens of Western nation-states, congregants of reformed synagogues, and assimilated members of societyStern uses Elijahs 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, Elijahs 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.

The Zelmenyaners
A Family Saga Moyshe kulbak
Translated by Hillel Halkin Introduction and Notes by Sasha Senderovich
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 showdownsincluding disputes over the introduction of electricity, radio, or electric trolleyare 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 (18961937) 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.

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 Artemiss 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 Artemiss mysteries. The revelation of that secret helps to explain not only the success of Artemiss 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 Artemiss mysteries, is best understood as a Darwinian tale of adaptation, competition, and change.

Flauberts Gueuloir
Michael Fried
A leading art critic and historian offers a new and revolutionary analysis of Flauberts 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 voicethe 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 Flauberts remarkable second novel, Salammb, 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 Flauberts writing and what can be seen to take place in the art of Courbet, Manet, and Legros.

Black Square
Aleksandra Shatskikh
An in-depth exploration of Malevichs pivotal painting, its context and its significance
kazimir Malevichs painting Black Square is one of the twentieth centurys emblematic paintings, the visual manifestation of a new period in world artistic culture at its inception. None of Malevichs 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 avantgardists own artwhich he called Suprematismand 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 Squares 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.

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. Webbs 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 dukes legates transformed American colonies into provinces of empire. Marlboroughs America, fifty years in the making, is the fourth volume of The Governors-General.
STEPHEN SAUNDERS WEBB is the Maxwell Professor of History and Social Science, and Professor of History, Emeritus, in the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. He is the author of The Governors-General, 1676, and Lord Churchills Coup.

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
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.
NICHOLAS ROGERS is distinguished research professor of history at york University, Toronto. He is the author or co-author of several books, including, most recently, Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night and The Press Gang: Naval Impressment and Its Opponents in Georgian Britain.

Quaker Rhetoric and the Birth of American Antislavery, 16571761 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 societys 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 evolutionthat 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.

Almost daily we hear news stories, advertisements, and scientific reports promising that genetic medicine will make us live longer, enable doctors to identify and treat diseases before they harm us, and individualize our medical care. 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.

How Were 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 welland 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 policyfrom 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.

Radioactive Transformations
With a New Foreword by Frank Wilczek
Radioactive Transformations describes Ernest Rutherfords 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 researchincluding the work of Wilhelm Rntgen, J. J. Thomson, and Marie Curieand 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 Rutherfords early research led to a better understanding of topics as diverse as the workings of the atoms 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.

Elementary Particles
With a New Foreword by Thomas Appelquist
First published in 1951, Enrico Fermis Elementary Particles remains a valuable guide for physicists and scholars. Fermis 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.

Stephen Cottrell
In the first fully comprehensive study of one of the worlds most iconic musical instruments, Stephen Cottrell examines the saxophones 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 instruments role in a variety of contexts: in the military bands that contributed so much to the saxophones 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.

Modern Love and Poems of the English Roadside occupies a distinctive and somewhat notorious place within George Merediths already unique body of work. Modern Love is now best known for the emotionally intense sonnet cycle which Merediths 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 Merediths astonishing collection of poetry to a new generation of readers.

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 failedlargely because of neoliberal ideals involving economic protectionism but also due to the protection of the legitimacy of certain forms of scientific knowledge.

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

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.

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 (18411895) 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 artists 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 Valry in 1948a seminal text that has never been included in his collected worksas well as extensive correspondence and sketchbooks held at the Muse 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.

Contributions by Andrea Bttner, Sarah Lowndes, Jan Vos, and Bjrn Roth
Dieter Roth (19301998) was an artist of astonishing breadth and diversity, producing graphics, drawings, paintings, sculptures, assemblages, and installation works involving sound recordings and video.

Roth was particularly noted for his influential artists books, including Literaturwurst (196174), 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 diaryfinding a way to record the passing of time and document his lifeis a fundamental theme of his artwork. Illustrations of pages from Roths diaries and copybooks of his major works, including A Diary (1982), Flat Waste (1975), Solo Scenes (199798), and Bar II (198397), accompany art historical assessments by contemporary scholars and contributions from his peer Jan Vos and his son Bjrn Roth.

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 couples 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 Chinas most luxurious textile and its enduring inuence 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 Chinas 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.

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 Cages 4'33" (1952). Among this carefully curated selection are Joseph Beuyss 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 Hsiehs One Year Performance 197879, in which the artist spent a year in a cage without speaking, reading, writing, or engaging with any media; and Andy Warhols 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 Adamss 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 Adamss 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 Adamss 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, Adamss 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.

Handbags
An exploration of the role of the handbag in the history of culture, fashion, and material production
The history of the handbagits design, how it has been made, used, and wornreveals something essential about womens 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 museums 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.

A continuation of the five-volume Ren Magritte Catalogue Raisonn that introduces 130 newly attributed works
Ren Magritte (18981967) 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 Ren Magritte Catalogue Raisonn. Ren 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 works discovery, references to letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from previous volumes.

Federico Barocci
Renaissance Master of Color and Line Judith W. Mann and Babette Bohn
Federico Barocci (c. 1533/351612) 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 artists process and thinking. Essays by leading scholars in the field discuss the role of UrbinoBaroccis hometownin the artists 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 Baroccis oeuvre.

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 Weemss career, traces the artists 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 Weemss most important works. Accompanying essays by leading scholars explore Weemss 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
A celebration of the American painters 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. Homers 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 Homers legacy at Prouts Neck, and documents the Portland Museum of Arts 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 Homers 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 circus is a source of nostalgia for Americans of all ages, either from memories of attending P. T. Barnums 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 circuss 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. Barnums 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
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 mans 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 Styleoxford cloth shirts, khaki pants, and penny loaferswere 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 styleincluding the Duke of Windsor, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and Miles Daviswho 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.

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, Stphane Mallarm, mile Zola, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, douard 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 erayears that also gave birth to the modern fashion industrya 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
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 Adobes 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 todays 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 books 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 kleins Leap into the Void of 1960); the other a purportedly unadulterated record of a real place in time (Paul Strands 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.

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 Britains 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 Caros studio and family collections, this publication examines the critical responses that Caros 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.

An examination of the interwoven lives and works of Duchamp and four of Americas most important postwar artists
This fascinating book explores the interwoven lives, radical art, and shared experimental spirit of Marcel Duchamp and four of Americas 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 generations 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.

An in-depth exploration of Vincent van Goghs unconventional path to becoming one of the worlds most recognizable artists
The career path of Vincent van Gogh (18531890), one of the worlds most recognizable artists, was anything but typical. Focusing on the early stages of van Goghs artistic development, Becoming van Gogh illustrates the artists 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 Seurats divisionism, Paul Signacs and Camille Pissarros pointillism, mile Bernards synthetism, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrecs 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 Goghs 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 artists 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

Maynard L. Parker
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 (19001976) 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. Parkers 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 Parkers photography against the backdrop of an unprecedented demographic shift, the Cold War, and a suburban society increasingly fixated on consumption.

Per kirkeby
Per kirkeby (b. 1938) is Scandinavias 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 kirkebys 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. Guytons 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 Guytons unconventional working methods and the development of his techniques, showcasing the visual flair and conceptual provocation inherent in his art.

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 Artschwagers experimentation in sculpture, painting, prints, and drawing
For nearly sixty years, Richard Artschwager (b. 1923) has undertaken an unrelenting investigation of arts 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 artists 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 Artschwagers work, including his response to life in the age of mechanical reproduction, the relationship of his work to mainstream art, and his recent works 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.

40 Under 40
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 Gallerys 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 crafts 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 crafts important role in the world of contemporary art and culture today.

Business leader and arts patron Sir Edwin A. G. Manton (19092005) 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 Constables oil sketches, cloud studies, and magisterial painting The Wheat Field; the growth of the watercolor tradition; print portfolios and narrative series; Thomas Rowlandsons satiric drawings; and Gainsboroughs use of experimental materials as revealed through recent scientific analysis. The volume concludes with an illustrated checklist of the works in the collection.

Wim Delvoye (b. 1965) is known for his inventive and often controversial projects, and his work has been exhibited around the world. One of a generation of Belgian artists who have revolutionized contemporary art, Delvoye explores the body and its functions, producing art that combines the attractive and the repulsive, and addresses themes including religion and politics. One of his most famous works is Cloaca, a digestion machine; another significant project involves tattooed live pigs. Coinciding with Delvoyes exhibition as guest of honor at the Louvre, Wim Delvoye Introspective is the culmination of close collaboration between the artist and distinguished scholars and critics. This publication presents a complete overview of works by the artist, demonstrating the range of media, technique, and thought-provoking subjects that defines his art.

Gegos Reticulrea, An Anthology of Critical Response Edited by Mara Elena Huizi and Ester Crespn
Introduction by Mari Carmen Ramrez
Gego (19121994) 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 Reticulrea, a massive netlike sculptural installation first presented at the Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas, in 1969. This groundbreaking work had major repercussions in the art world and marked a turning point in Gegos career. Centered on the various iterations of this work and its artistic impact, this anthologypublished on the one-hundredth anniversary of Gegos birthbrings together images as well as documentary materials and primary texts in English and Spanish by artists, writers, and Gego.

With contributions by Corinne Diserens, Briony Fer, Manuel Joseph, Tom McDonough, yasmil Raymond, Jalal Toufic, and Philippe Vergne
Since the late 1980s, Jean-Luc Moulne (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, Moulne has maintained a parallel exploration of materials and objectsmanufactured and found, industrial and organic, intimate and imposingthat he has collectively titled Opus. This book, the first critical study of Moulnes work, brings together leading scholars to examine the artists 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 Moulnes theoretical and playful inquiries into the plasticity of materials and the ways we see and understand both still and moving images.

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 (18091874), 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 Palaces 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 Joness Egyptian Court, which produced a fundamental shift in the way Egyptian art was understood in the second half of the 19th century.

With contributions by Didier Semin, Laurent Busine, Benjamin Buchloh, Daniela Lancioni, and Ruggero Penone
Giuseppe Penones 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 lArbre 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 Penones work: breath, eyes, skin, heart, blood, memory, and speech. Giuseppe Penone includes documentation of the artists sculptures, drawings, photographs, and writings, and provides a fascinating overview of one of todays major international artists.

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 600100 b.C.) through the Inca (14701534).

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 ChrysochousCity of Goldlies 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, 18801900 Richard Thomson
The French Republicwith its rallying cry for liberty, equality, and fraternityemerged 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--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.

Caravaggios Cardsharps
The Cardsharps, one of the paintings that launched Caravaggios 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 Romes 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 Caravaggios Cardsharps within the context of contemporaneous literature, art theory, and theater and incorporates new archival research to enliven our understanding of the painters time, place, and contemporaries. By fully analyzing one of Caravaggios 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 20089 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.
JOAN ARUZ is curator in charge and SARAH GRAFF and yELENA RAkIC are assistant curators in the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

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 visibilitynot 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.

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 maps 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.

Nineteenth-Century European Paintings at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
With an essay by Richard Rand
The core of the Clarks collection was assembled by Robert Sterling Clark (18771956), 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 Institutes collection of European paintings. The quality of this collection reflects the founders philosophy in its inclusion of masterpieces as diverse as William-Adolphe Bouguereaus Nymphs and Satyr (1873) and Pierre-Auguste Renoirs A Box at the Theater (1880); works by academic painters such as Jean-Lon Grme; Barbizon painters such as Camille Corot and Jean-Franois Millet; and the Impressionists Camille Pissarro and Edgar Degas. More recent acquisitions include Thodore Rousseaus Farm in the Landes (184467) and Claude Monets Rouen Cathedral (1894), and works by John Constable and J. M. W. Turner. Published on the 100th anniversary of Sterling Clarks first purchase of a European painting, these handsome volumes document each of the 374 paintings in the collection, with essays by prominent scholars, detailed bibliographic and art historical apparatus, technical notes, and over 450 color illustrations.
SARAH LEES is associate curator of European art and RICHARD RAND is the Robert and Martha Berman Lipp Senior Curator, both at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute.
