of American Pluralism
Beneke, Chris
How did early Americans learn to live with differences in matters of the highest importance to them -- and how did they find

part of a thread of fear and hatred that reaches back to the
beginning of the first millennium. 440pgs. • 2003

the Next 100,000 Years of Earth's Climate
Archer, David
Shows how just a few centuries of fossil-fuel use will cause not

Burnett, D. Graham
Recovers the strange story of an 1818 court case that pitted the
new sciences of taxonomy against the biblically sanctioned

History of Philosophy
Neiman, Susan
Whether expressed in theological or secular terms, evil confronts philosophy with fundamental questions. Neiman argues
that these questions impelled modern philosophy, concluding

In the most comprehensive examination to

Faye draws on previously unavailable materials to paint a damning picture of Nazism's
influence on the philosopher's thought and
politics. He revisits Heidegger's masterwork, Being and Time, and concludes that it presents not a
philosophy of individual existence but rather a doctrine of radical self-sacrifice, where individualization is allowed only for
the purpose of heroism in warfare. 464pgs. • 2011

Hume pursued his attempt to introduce the experimental

Groys, Boris
Arguing that modern "antiphilosophy"
does not pursue universality of thought

Most people, including philosophers, tend to classify

The dialectic, the concept of the evolution of an idea
through conflicts arising from its inherent contradictions,
transformed two centuries of Western philosophy. Here
Jameson brings theoretical scrutiny to bear on the history of

107095 ON BULLSHIT
Frankfurt, Harry G.
One of the most salient features of our culture, Frankfurt
argues, is that there is so much bullshit -- a greater enemy of
the truth than mere lies. He explores how bullshitters seek to
convey certain impressions without being concerned about the
truth, and how they quietly change the rules governing the
conversation so that claims about truth and falsity become
irrelevant. 80pgs. • 2005

128341 OUT OF EDEN: Adam and Eve
and the Problem of Evil
Kahn, Paul W.
Focusing on the existential roots of evil
rather than on the occasions for its
appearance, Kahn argues that evil originates in man's flight from death. As his
interpretations of Genesis lead him to
inquiries into a variety of modern forms of
evil -- including slavery, torture, and genocide -- he urges us to see that the opposite of evil is not good,
but love: while evil would master death, love would transcend
it. 248pgs. • 2010

"Unlike Freud, I do not claim that religion is just an illusion

RANCIÈRE
155183 HATRED OF DEMOCRACY
Rancière, Jacques
In a compelling and timely rethinking of
the subversive power of the democratic

Rancière, Jacques
Considering exactly what we mean by political art or the politics of art, Rancière looks at what the tradition of critical

of the omnipotence of that consumption? 134pgs. • 2009

Information
Vedral, Vlatko
An examination of the deepest questions about the universe:
where everything comes from, why things are as they are, what
everything is. The most fundamental definition of reality,
Vedral argues, is not matter or energy, but information, and it
is the processing of information that lies at the root of all physical, biological, economic, and social phenomena. 240pgs. •

Scheppe, Wolfgang, ed.
In 2006, a collective of students from
the IUAV University in Venice fanned out
to subject their city to a forensic structural mapping. Out of this fieldwork
developed a three-year urban project
that produced an enormous archive
comprising tens of thousands of photographs, case studies, movement profiles, and statistic data.
In this archive, Venice emerges as a classic instance of the
globalized city, in which a decimated inner-city population
meets armies of tourists and a parallel economy supported
by immigrants. 1344pgs. • 2010

156063 PLANET OF SLUMS
Davis, Mike
According to UN estimates, more than one billion people now
live in the slums of the cities of the global south. In this brilliant and ambitious book, Mike Davis explores the future of a
radically unequal and explosively unstable urban world, in
which vast numbers of people are warehoused in shantytowns
and exiled from the formal world economy. 228pgs. • 2007

156157 REBEL CITIES: From the
Right to the City to the Urban
Revolution
Harvey, David
Cities are the centers of capital accumulation as well as of revolutionary politics,
where deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Drawing on
the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall
Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks
how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways -- and how they can become the focus for
anti-capitalist resistance. 208pgs. • 2013

✪ 038416 WATER FOR GOTHAM: A History

142803 WRESTLING WITH MOSES:
How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's
Master Builder and Transformed the
American City
Flint, Anthony
To Jane Jacobs, Greenwich Village, with its
winding cobblestone streets and complex
demographic makeup, was everything a
city neighborhood should be, but to the
consummate power broker Robert Moses,
it cried out for "urban renewal." Anthony Flint skillfully
recounts the thrilling David-vs.-Goliath story of their struggle
for the soul of a city, the legacy of which echoes through our
society today. 256pgs. • 2009
