121247 CROSSING THE
CONTINENT, 1527-1540: The Story
of the First African-American
Explorer of the American South
Goodwin, Robert
Nearly three centuries before Lewis
and Clark's epic trek to the Pacific
coast, an African slave named Esteban
Dorantes became America's first great
explorer and adventurer -- the first
pioneer from the Old World to explore the entirety of the
American South. Drawing on contemporary accounts, longlost records, and research in Spanish archives, here is a
riveting true story of physical endurance, natural calamities, geographical wonders, and strange discoveries.

Black Politics in the Age of F. D. R.
Weiss, Nancy J.
Examines the dramatic shift of black voters from the
Republican to the Democratic Party in the 1930s, a shift all the
more striking in light of the Democrats' indifference to racial

record on race. 360pgs. • 1983

The Production of Value and
Mediation of Knowledge in the African
Art Trade
Steiner, Christopher B.
African art means one thing to the villagers
who create it and use it in ritual and performance, another to Muslim middlemen,

105035 AMERICA IN OUR TIME: From World War II to
Nixon--What Happened and Why
Hodgson, Godfrey
A history of the turbulent years between the end of World War
II and the fall of Richard Nixon. Hodgson pioneers the idea

politics, by which conservatives accepted the liberal domestic
policy of the welfare state, while all but a few liberals shared
the conservative foreign policy of Cold War containment.

059115 COERCION, CONTRACT AND
FREE LABOR IN THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY
Steinfeld, Robert J.
Presents a fundamental reassessment of
the nature of wage labor in the 19th century, focusing on the use of sanctions to
enforce wage labor agreements. Steinfeld
argues that wage workers were not
employees at will but were often bound to
their employment by enforceable labor agreements, which
employers used whenever available to manage their labor
costs and supply. 342pgs. • 2001
• Cambridge • P • $37.00 / $9.98
091694 A CONSPIRACY SO IMMENSE: The World of Joe
McCarthy
Oshinsky, David M.
Reveals the internal and external forces that launched
McCarthy on his political career, brought him national prominence, and finally triggered his downfall. More than the life
story of an intensely ambitious man, A Conspiracy So Immense
is a fascinating portrayal of America in the grip of Cold War
fear, anger, suspicion, and betrayal. 624pgs. • 2005
081160 THE AMERICAN MANUFACTORY: Art, Labor,
and the World of Things in the Early Republic
Rigal, Laura
Arguing that industrialization and the making of the working
class in the late-18th-century U.S. were integral to nationbuilding, Rigal examines creations and performances of writers, collectors, engineers, inventors, and illustrators who
assembled a "world of things," as American craftsmen became
wage laborers and production was rationalized, mechanized,
and put to new ideological purposes. 268pgs. • 2001
• Princeton • P • $39.95 / $12.98
101072 DEAD CERTAINTIES: Unwarranted
Speculations
Schama, Simon
A brilliant historian reconstructs -- and at times reinvents - two ambiguous deaths: the first, that of General James
Wolfe at the battle of Quebec in 1759; the second, in 1849,
that of George Parkman, an eccentric Boston Brahmin
whose murder by an impecunious Harvard professor in
1849 was a grisly reproach to the moral sanctity of his society. 352pgs. • 1992
• Knopf • P • $18.00 / $7.98
087672 AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN
PANDEMIC: The Influenza of 1918
Crosby, Alfred W.
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and
1919 claimed 25 million lives worldwide,
yet it is all but forgotten. Crosby recounts
the course of those panic-stricken
months, measures its impact on American
society, and probes the curious loss of
national memory. This edition includes a
new preface discussing recent outbreaks of diseases such as
the Asian flu and SARS. 352pgs. • 2003
• Cambridge • P • $27.99 / $14.98
114242 DECADE OF NIGHTMARES: The End of the
Sixties and the Making of Eighties America
Jenkins, Philip
Why did the youthful optimism and openness of the 1960s give
way to Ronald Reagan and a conservative ascendance?
Drawing on a wide array of sources -- including tabloid journalism, popular fiction, movies, and television shows -Jenkins argues that a remarkable confluence of panics, scares,
and a few genuine threats created a climate of fear that led to
a conservative reaction. 344pgs. • 2008
110409 AMERICA'S THREE REGIMES: A New Political
History
Keller, Morton
An entirely new way to look at our past, our present, and our
future, packed with provocative and original observations
about American public life. Keller groups America's past into
three long regimes: Deferential and Republican, from the
colonial period to the 1820s; Party and Democratic, from the
1830s to the 1930s; and Populist and Bureaucratic, from the
1930s to the present. 336pgs. • 2007
• Oxford University • C • $99.00 / $6.98
082911 AMUSING THE
MILLION: Coney Island at the
Turn of the Century
Kasson, John F.
Coney Island: the name still resonates with a sense of racy
Brooklyn excitement, the echo of
beach-front popular entertainment
before World War I. Kasson examines the historical context in which
Coney Island made its reputation as an amusement park
and shows how America's changing social and economic
conditions formed the basis of a new mass culture.

120624 DEVIL'S GATE: Brigham
Young and the Great Mormon
Handcart Tragedy
Roberts, David
The Mormon handcart tragedy of 1856 -the worst disaster in the history of the
Western migrations -- killed five times as
many people as the notorious Donner
Party debacle, yet it remains little known
today. Researching the story in Mormon
archives and elsewhere, David Roberts has compiled both a
powerful indictment of the Mormon leadership and a gripping
story of survival and suffering. 416pgs. • 2008

125509 EVANGELIZING THE SOUTH:
A Social History of Church and State in

southern culture, the position of women in
the private and public arenas, family life in
the Old South, the relationship between
religion and slavery, and the political culture of the early republic, Najar reveals the

111795 GOD AND RACE IN AMERICAN
POLITICS: A Short History
Noll, Mark A.
Shows how a common evangelical heritage
both supported Jim Crow discrimination
and contributed powerfully to the black
theology of liberation preached by Martin
Luther King Jr. In probing such connections, Noll takes readers from the 1830
slave revolt of Nat Turner through
Reconstruction and the Jim Crow era, from the civil rights
movement of the 1950s and 1960s to "values" voting in recent
presidential elections. 232pgs. • 2008

049917 HELLFIRE NATION: The Politics of Sin in
American History
Morone, James A.
Framing four centuries of American history as a struggle
between moralizers and social reformers, Morone shows how
moral crusades inspired abolition, woman suffrage, and civil
rights even as they also led Americans to hang witches, enslave
Africans, and ban alcoholic beverages. 575pgs. • 2003

112384 HOME FRONTS: A Wartime

Meditation on Power
Wills, Garry
The definitive historical and psychological analysis of the
Kennedy clan. Wills reveals a family that enjoyed public adulation but provided fluctuating leadership, that experienced both
unparalleled fame and odd failures, and whose values
ensnared its men in their own myths of success and masculinity. In the end, Wills reveals that the the Kennedys' crippling
conception of power touched every part of their public and
private lives. 336pgs. • 2002

087634 LARDING THE LEAN
EARTH: Soil and Society in
Nineteenth-Century America
Stoll, Steven
Explores the tempestuous debates that
erupted 50 years after the American revolution between "improvers," who believed

the soil of existing farms, and "emigrants,"
who thought it was wiser and more
"American" to move westward as the soil gave out. Examines
the dozens of journals that gave voice to the improvers' cause.

126865 THE FUSILIERS: The Saga of a British
Redcoat Regiment in the American Revolution
Urban, Mark
From Lexington Green in 1775 to Yorktown in 1781, one
British regiment, the Royal Welch Fusiliers, marched thousands of miles and fought a dozen battles to uphold British
rule. Their story, one of the few untold sagas of the American
Revolution, sheds light on the war itself and offers surprising, at times unsettling, insights into the way the war was

117043 THE RADICALISM OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

In a grand synthesis of historical, political, cultural, and economic analysis, a

country. He gives readers a revolution
that transformed an almost feudal society into a democratic one, whose emerging realities sometimes baffled and disappointed its founding fathers. 464pgs.

101111 MORNING IN AMERICA: How Ronald Reagan
Invented the 1980's
Troy, Gil
Highlights the contradictions of Reagan's conservatism, with
its emphasis on wealth and glamour on the one hand and, on
the other, an ascetic streak that recoiled at excess. The Reagan
that emerges is less the captain steering American culture than
a symbol whose strength lay in placing his finger on the pulse
of the American id. 448pgs. • 2007
• Princeton • P • $29.95 / $14.98
117302 NEW WORLD FAITHS:
Religion in Colonial America
Butler, Jon
Many people believe that the piety of the
Pilgrims typified early American religion.
However, by the 1730s Catholics, Jews, and
Africans had joined Native Americans,
Puritans, and numerous other Protestants
in the colonies. As Butler shows, the meeting of these diverse groups and their varied
use of music, dance, and ritual produced an unprecedented
evolution of religious practice. 183pgs. • 2007

PICKETT IN LIFE AND LEGEND
Gordon, Lesley J.
The man who gave his name to the
greatest failed frontal attack in
American military history, Pickett is
among the most famous Confederate
generals of the Civil War. But even today

Integrating the Social, Political &
Intellectual History of the 19th
Century
Foner, Eric
Focuses on politics and ideology to illuminate sectional conflict, the antislavery
movement, and postwar struggles over
land and labor. Foner shows how the
tension between republican ideology and the expansion of
capitalism posed ideological problems for the antislavery
movement and affected subsequent efforts to recast
American society. 250pgs. • 1980
122263 SLAVERY AND THE
COMMERCE POWER: How the
Struggle Against the Interstate
Slave Trade Led to the Civil War
Lightner, David L.
The great cotton boom required
human labor to bring new lands under
cultivation, and many thousands of
slaves were torn from their families
and sold across state lines. Shocked by
the cruelty of this practice, abolitionists called upon the federal government to outlaw interstate commerce in slaves.
This groundbreaking book unravels the complex story of the
decades-long debate and legal battle over federal regulation
of the slave trade. 240pgs. • 2006

Kutcher, Norman
To win the approval of China's elites, Qing
China's Manchu leaders developed an
ambitious plan to return Confucianism to
civil society by observing laborious
mourning rituals. Kutcher looks beneath the rhetoric to
demonstrate how the state -- unwilling to make the sacrifices
that a genuine commitment to proper mourning demanded -actually undermined, not reinvigorated, the Confucian mourning system. 224pgs. • 1999

advanced weapons technology and the
world's third-largest military budget. Sabine Frühstück draws
on interviews, historical research, and analysis to describe the
unusual case of a non-war-making military. 270pgs. • 2007

122268 ROMANIZATION IN THE
TIME OF AUGUSTUS
MacMullen, Ramsay
Why, during the lifetime of Augustus
(63 BC to AD 14), did Roman civilization spread so quickly, influencing art

This Library of America volume presents a

book than a state of vision," Uncle Tom's

085409 AMERICAN WRITERS AT
HOME
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ERICA LENNARD
McClatchey, J. D.
Faulkner traced the complex plots of
his novels on his walls; Hawthorne's
windowpanes served as a constantly
present commonplace book. Melville
imagined his study was the Pequod,
while Welty and Jewett wrote primarily
in their bedrooms. Through 21 intimate portraits of writers
ranging from the early 19th to the mid-20th century, accompanied by superbly evocative photographs, McClatchy and
Lennard reveal where and how some of America's most brilliant writers lived and worked. As McClatchy writes in his
Introduction, "This is not a book about writers, or about houses, or about America. It is a book about where and why and
how American writers made a home for themselves -- a place
to live, yes, but above all a place to work -- in a restless,
rugged country." 224pgs. • 2004
085401 AMERICANS IN PARIS:
A Literary Anthology
Gopnik, Adam, ed.
Paris has been many things to many
Americans: a tradition-bound bastion of
old world Europe, a hotbed of revolutionary ideologies, and a space in which to
cultivate an openness to life thought
impossible at home. Including stories, letters, memoirs, and reporting, the text distills 3 centuries of writing about what Henry James called "the
most brilliant city in the world." 650pgs. • 2004
035771 THE DEBATE ON THE
CONSTITUTION PART 2: Federalist and
Antifederalist Speeches, Articles, and
Letters During the Struggle over

Jefferson, Washington, Patrick Henry, and
many less well known voices speak with passion and articulateness about issues of personal liberty and public order that
continue to resonate today. Along with a detailed chronology
and notes, each volume also includes the full texts of the
Declaration in Independence, Articles of Confederation, and
Constitution. 1175pgs. • 1993

035739 THE INNOCENTS ABROAD;
ROUGHING IT
Twain, Mark
The Innocents Abroad is one of the
most prominent and influential travel
books ever written about Europe and
the Holy Land. In it, the collision of the
American "New Barbarians" and the
European "Old World" provides much
comic fodder for Mark Twain -- and a
remarkably perceptive lens on the human condition.
Gleefully skewering the ethos of American tourism in
Europe, Twain's lively satire ultimately reveals just what it is
that defines cultural identity. 1027pgs. • 1984

Recasts the history of industrialization by considering the

Proctor, Robert N.
Nazi Germany was also decades ahead of other countries in

at the box office, and fell well short of its own didactic and aesthetic aspirations. But as Marcus shows, it exerted such a profound influence on postwar Italian cinema that all the best
directors had to come to terms with it. In this volume she considers how Italian cinema has fulfilled, or disappointed, neorealism's promise. 464pgs. • 1987

The reign of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (1174-85) has traditionally been seen as a period of decline when, because of
the king's illness, power came to be held by a group of advisers who made disastrous policy decisions. This book challenges that view, arguing that the young king in fact presided
over a vigorous and self-confident society. 314pgs. • 2005

not philosophy that can do this, by promoting a genuine sense
of human solidarity. 201pgs. • 1989

124815 COUNTERPATH: Traveling with Jacques
Derrida
Derrida, Jacques & Catherine Malabou
This readerly text of quotations and commentary demonstrates how Derrida's work, while appearing to be anything
but a travelogue, is nevertheless replete with references to
geographical and topographical locations, and functions as
a kind of counter-Odyssey through meaning, theorizing, and

127990 ETHICS FOR ADVERSARIES: The Morality of
Roles in Public and Professional Life
Applbaum, Arthur Isak
The adversary professions -- law, business, and government,
among others -- typically claim a moral permission to violate
persons in ways that, if not for the professional role, would be
morally wrong. Applbaum provides a philosophical inquiry

called "necessary offices." 288pgs. • 2000

105201 EVIL IN MODERN
THOUGHT: An Alternative 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 that two basic stances run through
modern thought. One, from Rousseau to Arendt, insists that
morality demands we make evil intelligible. The other, from
Voltaire to Adorno, insists that morality demands that we do
not. 376pgs. • 2004

Constraint

For centuries, philosophers have been

principle, setting aside considerations of

evolutionary argument in favor of the traditional Kantian view that there is an internal connection
between being a rational agent and feeling the force of moral
obligations. 352pgs. • 2008

Kierkegaard, Soren
Of the many works he wrote during 1848,
Kierkegaard specified Practice in
Christianity as "the most perfect and

Either/Or, springs from his relationship with his fiancée,
Regine Olsen. "In the vast literature of love," observes John
Updike in his Foreword, "The Seducer's Diary is an intricate

boast." 232pgs. • 1997

the course of intellectual history. 867pgs. • 2007

Philosophy of Life
Persson, Ingmar
The ancient Greeks thought that a life led in accordance with
reason would also be the happiest or most fulfilling. Starting
from this perspective, Persson arrives at conclusions that are
very different; by exploring the irrationality of our attitudes to
time, our identity, and our responsibility, he shows that the aim
of living rationally conflicts not only with the aim of leading the
most fulfilling life, but also with the moral aim of promoting
the just distribution of fulfillment for all. 504pgs. • 2008

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 • $27.95 / $12.98
110746 THE DECLINE OF THE SECULAR UNIVERSITY
Sommerville, C. John
Sommerville argues that the very secularization that was supposed to be a liberating influence on higher education has

104567 THE FLIGHT FROM REALITY IN THE HUMAN
SCIENCES
Shapiro, Ian
In discipline after discipline, Shapiro argues, scholars have
fallen prey to inward-looking myopia that results from and

compelling case for problem-driven social research rooted in
a realist philosophy of science and an antireductionist view of
social explanation. 240pgs. • 2005

111845 GLOBALIZATION: A Short History
Osterhammel, Jurgen & Niels P. Petersson

between the Arabian Peninsula and India, and the caravan
routes of the Near East and North Africa, all of which served
as conduits for people, goods, and ideas. 182pgs. • 2005

112530 HOW KINDERGARTEN CAME
TO AMERICA: Friedrich Froebel's
Radical Vision of Early Childhood
Education
Von Marenholtz-Bulow, Bertha
This lively portrait of a pioneer of modern
education is a refreshing reminder of the
essential role of play and creative exploration. Froebel's methods provide a muchneeded antidote to the current emphasis
on high-stakes testing and accelerated curricula -- a corruption, as Herbert Kohl argues in his foreword, of the original
concept of kindergartens as children's gardens of learning.

130220 MODERN TIMES ANCIENT
HOURS: Working Lives in the TwentyFirst Century

125930 NOT FOR PROFIT: Why Democracy Needs the
Humanities
Nussbaum, Martha C.
In this powerful book, a celebrated philosopher makes a passionate case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels

reduce education to a tool of the gross national product.
Rather, we must work to reconnect education to the humanities in order to give students the capacity to become true democratic citizens. 178pgs. • 2010

CULTURES: A Searching
Examination of American Society in
the Aftermath of Our Cultural

our grievances against government, we
cannot afford to delegitimize it. Proposing remedies for the
moral and cultural disorders of democratic society, she
concludes that it is a tribute to Americans that we remain
one nation despite our differences. 208pgs. • 2001

125961 NEW YORK NOCTURNE: The
City after Dark in Literature, Painting,
and Photography, 1850-1950
Sharpe, W. C.
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
