social history. 416pgs. • 1992

Trumpeted as a means to promote the general welfare, mass consumption became synonymous with patriotism, social equality,

legacy, Cohen has written a bold, encompassing, and profoundly
influential book. 576pgs. • 2003

A Wartime America Reader
Bernstein, Irving
The standard history of the 1920s is one of Prohibition, flappers,
and unbounded prosperity; for millions of industrial workers,
however, the "Roaring Twenties" looked very different. Irving
Bernstein here recaptures the social history of the decade leading
up to FDR's inauguration, uncovers its widespread inequality, and
sheds light on the long-forgotten struggles that formed the prelude to the great labor victories of the 1930s. 577pgs. • 2010

Extending from the role of prophesies in Thomas Jefferson's

Populist Democracy and the Question of Capitalism
in Progressive Era Portland, Oregon
This volume recounts the efforts of "proslavery nationalists" to
navigate the 19th-century geopolitics of imperialism, federalism,
and nationalism and to articulate themes of American mission in
overtly proslavery terms. At the heart of this study are spokesmen
of the Southern "Master Class," who crafted a vision of American
destiny that put chattel slavery at its center. 368pgs. • 2009
This volume seeks to uncover the democratic, populist, and
even anticapitalist legacy of the middle class. By examining the
independent small business sector of Portland, Oregon as a
case study, Robert Johnston shows that although class still matters in America, it does so only if the politics and culture of the
leading player in affairs of class, the middle class, is dramatically reconceived. 424pgs. • 2006

155297 The Garments of Court and Palace
Riding to Liberty in Post-Napoleonic Europe
Machiavelli and the World That He Made
Stites, Richard
Bobbitt, Philip
In a series of revolts starting in 1820, four military officers rode
forth from obscure European towns to bring political freedom
and a constitution to Spain, Naples, and Russia, and national
independence to the Greeks. Stites sets these stories side-by-side,
allowing him to compare events and movements and illuminate
such topics as the transfer of ideas and peoples across frontiers,
the formation of an international revolutionary community, and
the appropriation of Christian symbols and language for secular
purposes. 456pgs. • 2014
In this groundbreaking book, Philip Bobbitt explores The Prince in
the context of the time. He describes this often misunderstood work
as one half of a masterpiece that, along with Machiavelli's often neglected Discourses, prophesied the end of the feudal era and proclaimed the birth of the Renaissance state. 240pgs. • 2013

111172 Lambent Traces: Franz Kafka
Corngold, Stanley
Tracing the implications of Kafka's literary breakthrough,
Corngold argues that Kafka's first concern was not for his culture but to his own fate as a maker of literature, which he pursued by exploring "the limits of the human." At the same time,
he kept his transcendental longings sober by noting -- with
supreme irony -- their virtual impossibility. 288pgs. • 2004
Baudelaire, Nietzsche, and Hitler -- a poet, a philosopher, and a
politician -- each profoundly understood the seductive attraction
of evil. Hill here brings the thoughts and words of these three
specialists of the soul into juxtaposition with historical events, and
appeals for an effective antidote to evil, one she finds in the
achievements of nonviolent movements. 288pgs. • 2006

In fourteen of Shakespeare's plays, characters who have been

the classical and biblical sources that Shakespeare fuses into his
recognition scenes, clearly elucidates the ways in which the playwright explored his abiding interest in the human desire to transcend death and to live reunited and reconciled with others.

Found in the Bible and in writings from as far afield as Egypt,

Coleridge is typically seen as a youthful genius transformed by

one we are used to. 272pgs. • 2003
Whether writing about the genesis of his plays, such as Aunt Dan
and Lemon; discussing how the privileged world of arts and letters takes for granted the people who serve our food and deliver

Moral pluralism is the view that there are different and often conflicting moral reasons for action, and that no invariable ordering
principles exist to tell us how to resolve such conflicts. In this
book, Gill argues that a combination of this view with Humeanism
produces a more accurate account of our moral experiences than
monistic, rationalist, and non-naturalist alternatives. 288pgs. •

Reading texts by Descartes, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche,
Heidegger, Benjamin, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas, Levin scrutinizes the moral character and enlightenment-potential of our culturally dominant mode of perception, using vision and the philosophical discourse that vision has generated to think critically

182157 How the Hippies Saved Physics
Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival
Kaiser, David
Quantum information theory is among the most exciting scientific frontiers, attracting billions of dollars in funding and thousands of talented researchers -- but as Kaiser reveals, this cutting-edge field has a surprisingly psychedelic past. Here he
introduces us to the band of freewheeling physicists who
defied the imperative to "shut up and calculate" and helped to
rejuvenate modern physics. 384pgs. • 2011

182175 Why Science Does Not Disprove God
Aczel, Amir D.
A renowned science writer, mathematician, and bestselling author
challenges the claims of the New Atheists, providing a clear, engaging
explanation of what science really says, how there's still much space
for the Divine in the universe, and why faith in God and empirical
science are not mutually exclusive. 304pgs. • 2014

✪ 185949 Why Science Needs Metaphysics
A Plea for Structural Realism
Zahar, Elie
Placing rational metaphysics back at the heart of the scientific
enterprise, Zahar argues that the metaphysical doctrine of structural realism is central to the progress of science and that the
positivist separation of philosophy and science is untenable. The
last two chapters are case studies -- of classical atomism and of
Einstein's scientific achievement -- demonstrating the vital role of
metaphysics in the growth of knowledge. 320pgs. • 2007

Bronner, Stephen Eric
SECOND EDITION
Bourgois, Philippe I.
Why Prejudice Persists
Selling Crack in El Barrio
Examining bigotry in all its various dimensions -- anthropological,
historical, psychological, sociological, and political -- Bronner
illustrates how the bigot's intense hatred of "the other" is a direct
reaction to social progress, liberal values, secularism, and an
increasingly complex and diverse world. 248pgs. • 2014

104765 Creative Destruction
How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures
Cowen, Tyler
Through an array of colorful examples, Cowen asks what happens
when cultures collide through trade, whether technology destroys
native arts, why (and whether) Hollywood movies rule the world,
and if national cultures matter at all. Scrutinizing such manifestations of "indigenous" culture as the steel band ensembles of
Trinidad, Indian handweaving, and music from Zaire, Cowen finds
that they are more vibrant than ever -- thanks largely to cross-cultural trade. 192pgs. • 2004
▲ • Princeton • P • $33.95 / $17.98
This classic ethnographic study of social marginalization in inner
city America won acclaim after it was first published in 1995. This
new edition adds a new epilogue that updates the stories of the
people readers come to know through this remarkable window
into the dangerous world of the urban drug trade. 432pgs. •

✪ 130220 Modern Times Ancient Hours
Working Lives in the Twenty-First Century
Basso, Pietro
Pietro Basso argues convincingly that the average working time of
wage laborers is more intense, fast-paced, flexible, and longer
than at any period in recent history. In a comprehensive survey of
all the Western countries, he demonstrates that work pressures
are increasing, leading to a creeping deterioration in the working
lives of millions of people. 280pgs. • 2003

Black Holes in the Universe
Begelman, Mitchell C. & Martin Rees
SOCIOLOGY & EDUCATION
In a revealing look at how people in America truly feel about race,
nearly 100 Americans talk openly about attitudes that few are willing to admit in public: feelings about affirmative action, gentrification, secret prejudices, and dashed hopes. Preachers and street
punks, college students and Klansmen, interracial couples, the
nephew of the founder of apartheid, and Emmett Till's mother are
among those whose voices appear. 403pgs. • 1992
▲ • New Press • C • $24.95 / $6.98
Vividly evokes an "other" America that survives precariously
among the ruins of the West Virginia coal camps and "hollers." To
Kathleen Stewart, this particular "other" exists as an excluded
subtext to the American narrative of capitalism, modernization,
materialism, and democracy. 243pgs. • 1996

125893 When Brute Force Fails
How to Have Less Crime and Less Punishment

A Bourdieu Reader
EDITED BY GISÈLE SAPIRO
Bourdieu, Pierre
This accessible survey of Pierre Bourdieu's most influential writings includes the full text of his short books Acts of Resistance,
Firing Back, and On Television, in addition to key articles, interviews, and speeches, all of which introduce the reader to
Bourdieu's innovative approach to sociology as a mode of political intervention. 336pgs. • 2010
Even as the prison population in the United States has multiplied fivefold, crime has stopped falling, and poor people and minorities still
bear the brunt of both crime and punishment. Kleiman explains how
we got into the current trap and how we can cut both crime and the
prison population in half within a decade. 256pgs. • 2010

Self, Robert O.
Margulis, Lynn, ed.
Race and the Struggle for Postwar Oakland
Conversations with Students - Dwelling in Nature
As the birthplace of the Black Panthers and a nationwide tax
revolt, California embodied a crucial motif of the postwar US: the
rise of suburbs and the decline of cities, a process in which black
and white histories inextricably joined. Robert Self tells this story
through Oakland and its nearby suburbs, tracing both the history
of civil rights and black power politics as well as the history of
suburbanization and home-owner politics. 408pgs. • 2005

One of the legendary figures in 20th-century landscape design,
Ian McHarg transformed the fields of landscape architecture and
planning. This volume makes his previously unpublished lecture
"Collaboration with Nature" available for the first time. Captured
on tape in the 1970s, it's a must-read for anyone in the fields of
landscape architecture, environmental science, and urban planning. 112pgs. • 2007

Sharpe, W. C.
The City after Dark in Literature, Painting, and
Photography, 1850-1950
Longstreth, Richard W.
◆ • Yale • C • $70.00 / $13.98
As early as the 1850s, gaslight tempted New Yorkers out into a
burgeoning nightlife filled with shopping, dining, and dancing.
This book traces key literary and visual metaphors of the nighttime city: a seductive Babylon in the mid-1850s, a misty fairyland
colonized by an empire of light in the early 20th century, and a
skyscraper-studded land of desire that became a stage for the
voyeurism and violence of the 1940s and 1950s. 456pgs. • 2008
