Gates, Henry Louis Jr. & Donald Yacovone, eds.
The man who would be immortalized as "the Great

the Struggle Against the Interstate Slave Trade Led to the

Lightner, David L.
The great cotton boom required human labor to bring new

This groundbreaking book unravels the complex story of the

the slave trade. 240pgs. • 2006

Stuart, James & Nicholas Revett
Stuart and Revett's monumental
undertaking, based on measured

archaeological investigation. By fundamentally challenging prevailing
notions about a universal classical
ideal, their work fueled the Greek Revival movement that dominated British, European, and American architecture and
design for over a century. Originally published in four volumes
between 1762 and 1816, this masterwork is presented here in
its entirety with a new introduction by Frank Salmon. With its
many images of buildings, plans, sculpture, friezes, and decorative objects, it remains the logical starting point for anyone

In a series of lectures delivered just
months before his death, Varnedoe
addresses the skeptical attitudes and
misunderstandings that we often bring
to our experience of abstract art.
Resisting grand generalizations, he
makes a deliberate and scholarly case
for abstraction, showing us that more than just pure looking is
necessary to understand the self-made symbolic language of
abstract art. 297pgs. • 2006

035723 REDBURN, WHITE-JACKET,
MOBY-DICK
Melville, Herman
Moby-Dick, Melville's masterpiece, is one
of the great epics in all of literature. Ahab's
idolatrous hunt for the white whale drives
the narrative at a relentless pace, while
Ishmael's meditations on whales and whaling, the sublime indifference of nature, and
the grimy physical details of whale-oil
extraction provide a reflective counterpoint. This volume also
includes Redburn, which relates a young man's initiation into
the sailor's life, and White-Jacket, a semi-autobiographical
account of experiences in the US Navy. 1436pgs. • 1983
035714 TYPEE, OMOO, MARDI
Melville, Herman
Typee and Omoo, based on the young
Melville's experiences on a whaling ship,
are exuberant accounts of idyllic life in
Polynesia. They remained his most popular
works well into the 20th century. Mardi is
a mixture of love story, adventure, and
political allegory, set on a mythical Pacific
island, that looks forward to the complexities of Moby-Dick. 1333pgs. • 1982
136581 PREJUDICES: The First,
Second, and Third Series
Mencken, H. L.
In the six volumes of Prejudices (19191927), Mencken attacked what he felt to
be American provincialism and
hypocrisy, and championed writers and
thinkers he saw as harbingers of a new
candor and maturity. Laced with savage
humor and delighting in verbal play,
Mencken's prose remains a one-of-a-kind roller coaster
ride over a staggering range of thematic territory. 624pgs.

125769 A FAREWELL TO ALMS: A
Brief Economic History of the World
Clark, Gregory
Why are some parts of the world so rich

poorer? In this provocative book, Clark
tackles these questions and argues that
culture -- not exploitation, geography, or
resources -- explains the wealth and poverty of nations.

1: From the Time of Christ to the Court Jews
Poliakov, Leon
Systematically traces the twists and turns of hatred against
Jews as it developed from Roman times to the end of the

4: Suicidal Europe, 1870-1933

into the rise of the Nazi party in the 1920s, are part of a thread
of fear and hatred that reaches back to the beginning of the
first millennium. 440pgs. • 2003

from its institutional context within the university to its forms

This provocative book shows that Europe

NOW: An Interpretive Guide to The
Origin of Species
Reznick, David N.
An indispensable primer for anyone
seeking to understand Darwin's Origin
of Species and the ways it has shaped
the modern study of evolution. Reznick
shows how many of the work's apparent peculiarities can be explained by
the state of science in 1859, and demonstrates why Darwin's
theory unifies the biological sciences under a single conceptual framework much as Newton did for physics.

PHILOSOPHY: A Guide for the Unruly
Bruns, Gerald L.
In this provocative study, Bruns argues that the culture of modernism is a kind of anarchist community, where the work of
art is apt to be as much an event or experience -- or, indeed,
an alternative form of life -- as a formal object. In modern

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

OBJECTIVITY
Roessler, Johannes, et al., eds.
To be a "commonsense realist" is to hold that perceptual
experience is in general an immediate awareness of mindindependent objects, and a source of direct knowledge of
what such objects are like. The essays in this volume
address such issues as the status of causal requirements on
perception, the causal role of perceptual experience, and
the relation between objective perception and causal thinking. 384pgs. • 2011
125799 PHILOSOPHY AND THE MIRROR OF NATURE
Rorty, Richard
In this volume, which hit the philosophical world like a bombshell when it was first published, Rorty argued that the questions about truth posed by Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and modern
epistemologists and philosophers of language were unanswerable and, moreover, were irrelevant to serious social and cultural inquiry. The book remains a must-read for its insight into
what philosophers can and cannot do to help us understand

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

in Cold War New York
Zipp, Samuel
Focusing on four iconic "Manhattan
projects" -- the UN building, Stuyvesant
Town, Lincoln Center, and public housing in East Harlem -- this book reveals
that Cold War-era urban renewal was
not merely a failed planning ideal, but
also a crucial phase in the transformation of New York into
both a world city and one mired in urban crisis. 484pgs. •

How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's
Master Builder and Transformed the
American City

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
