The Folk in the New Negro
Renaissance
Favor, J. Martin
An examination of the work of four Harlem
Renaissance fiction writers: James Weldon

085409 AMERICAN WRITERS AT
HOME
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ERICA LENNARD
McClatchy, 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. •

YEARS, SONG WITHOUT WORDS,
VERTIGO
Ward, Lynd
Prelude to a Million Years (1933) is a
dark meditation on art, inspiration, and
the disparity between the ideal and the
real. Song Without Words (1936), a
protest against the rise of European fascism, asks if ours is a world still fit for the human soul.
Vertigo (1937), Ward's undisputed masterpiece, is an epic
novel on the theme of the individual caught in the downward

From the eve of the Great Depression to the start of World

"novel in woodcuts" -- was his alone, and he quickly
brought it from bold iconographic infancy to subtle and still
unrivalled mastery. In these volumes, Ward's novels are presented, for the first time since the 1930s, in the format that
the artist intended. 1408pgs. • 2010

POLAND
SECOND EDITION
Lukowski, Jerzy & Hubert Zawadzki
Once a dominant European force and
home to an experiment in consensual politics, Poland was excised from the map in
1795. Resurrected in 1918, partitioned
during WWII, it survived to become a
Soviet satellite. In the 1980s, the nation led
the cast-off of communism, reasserting its Christian heritage.
This edition is updated to take account of events up to 2005.

Competition, and the Common Good
Frank, Robert
A leading economist argues that the failure to recognize that
we live in Darwin's world rather than Adam Smith's is preventing us from seeing that competition alone will not solve

Medema, Steven
Adam Smith turned economic theory on its
head when he declared that the pursuit of
self-interest led, via an invisible hand, to

society needs government to intervene on its behalf, others
arguing that government interference ultimately benefits neither the market nor society. 248pgs. • 2011

We Need to Manage Financial Risk Differently
Rebonato, Riccardo
Today's financial-risk professionals rely on ever-more

Orientations, Objects, Others
Ahmed, Sara
In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed
demonstrates how queer studies can put
phenomenology to productive use. A queer
phenomenology, she argues, reveals how
social relations are arranged spatially, how
queerness disrupts and reorders these
relations, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, ones that might, at first
glance, seem awry. 240pgs. • 2006

Tinkcom, Matthew
What does camp have to do with capitalism?
Why is cinema central to camp? With chapters on the films of Vincente Minnelli, Andy
Warhol, Kenneth Anger, and John Waters,
this volume responds to these questions,
arguing that post-World War II gay male
subcultures have fostered new ways not
only of consuming mass culture but of producing it as well.

088645 BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND
THE DEEP BLUE SEA: Merchant
Seamen, Pirates and the AngloAmerican Maritime World, 1700-1750
Rediker, Marcus
Rediker reconstructs the world of 18th-century Anglo-American seamen and pirates in
order to illuminate larger social and political
issues such as the rise of capitalism, slavery,
the genesis of free wage labor, and the growth
of an international working class. He follows seamen and ships
along pulsing trade routes, recreates life in the brothels and alehouses along the waterfront, and explores both the natural disasters and the man-made terrors -- harsh discipline, brutal floggings, grisly hangings -- that shaped the lives of those who plied
forbidding oceans. 337pgs. • 1989

148172 CRITICAL ENTHUSIASM: Capital Accumulation
and the Transformation of Religious Passion
Rosenberg, Jordana
The Atlantic world of the long 18th century was characterized
by two major, interrelated phenomena: the onset of capital
accumulation and the infusion of traditions of radical religious
rapture into Enlightenment discourses. In exploring these
cross-pollinations, Rosenberg shows that debates around religious radicalism are linked to the advent of capitalism at its
very root: as legal precedent, as financial rhetoric, and as aesthetic form. 288pgs. • 2011
126834 THE CULTURE OF WAR
van Creveld, Martin L.
As van Creveld shows in this authoritative,
and riveting book, since the beginning of

today, contrary to the hopes of some,
remain as fascinated by war as they have
been in the past. 512pgs. • 2008

NEW EDITION
Crosby, Alfred W.
Revisiting his classic work and again evaluating the ecological reasons for European expansion, Crosby explains that

the Making of the Modern World Economy
Pomeranz, Kenneth
Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe,
despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe
and East Asia? Pomeranz argues that Europe's 19th-century divergence from the Old World owes much to its access to coal, which
substituted for timber, and to the resources it obtained from its
colonies in the New World. 392pgs. • 2001

American professional historians since the
waning years of the 19th century. Drawing

Global Economic Divergence, 1600-1850
Parthasarathi, Prasannan
Drawing particularly on the case of India, Parthasarathi shows
that in the 17th and 18th centuries, the advanced regions of
Europe and Asia, both characterized by sophisticated and
growing economies, were more alike than different. Their
subsequent divergence can be attributed to different competitive and ecological pressures that in turn produced varied
state policies and economic outcomes. 384pgs. • 2011

Alexander, Michael
By the 1920s, as Jewish immigrants and their
children took their places in American society, many embraced resistance rather than
acculturation, preferring marginal status to
assimilation. Alexander argues that Jewish
outsider status resulted not just from antiSemitism but from the group identity Jewish
immigrants brought with them in the form of
a theology of exile. 264pgs. • 2003

Interaction Networks and Colony
Behavior

Court Case That Put the Whale on
Trial and Challenged the Order of

Burnett, D. Graham
Recovers the strange story of an 1818

the trial fueled a sensational public debate in which the very
order of nature -- and how we know it -- was at stake.

Rorty argues that thinkers such as Nietzsche, Freud, and
Wittgenstein have enabled societies to see themselves as historical contingencies, rather than as expressions of underlying, ahistorical human nature, or as realizations of suprahistorical goals, but Rorty himself believes that it is literature
and not philosophy that can do this, by promoting a genuine
sense of human solidarity. 201pgs. • 1989

The book remains a must-read for its insight into what
philosophers can and cannot do to help us understand and
improve the world. 472pgs. • 2008

Contentious Doctrine
Thuesen, Peter J.
Argues that far from being only about the age-old riddle of
divine sovereignty versus human free will, the debate over predestination is inseparable from other central Christian beliefs
and practices -- the efficacy of the sacraments, the existence of
purgatory and hell, the extent of God's involvement in human
affairs -- and that it has fueled theological conflicts across
denominations for centuries. 336pgs. • 2011

Einstein and the Quest for Gravitational Waves
Kennefick, Daniel J.
Since Einstein first described them nearly a century ago, gravitational waves have been the subject of more sustained controversy than perhaps any other phenomenon in physics.
These as yet undetected fluctuations in the shape of space-time
