Spring 2012

spring 2012
From the Director
Here at UC Press we are strongly focused on fostering
discussion and debate by offering readers the latest results
of important scholarship undertaken around the world.
This season we’re particularly excited to welcome back
Marion Nestle. Her new book with Malden Nesheim—Why
Calories Count: From Science to Politics—arms readers with
critical knowledge to evaluate and understand common claims
about diet and food.
We’re also pleased to offer a slimmer, more portable edition
of our all-time bestselling book, Volume 1 of the Autobiography
of Mark Twain. Other highlights include provocative titles such
as David Healy’s Pharmageddon, a forceful argument against the
pharmaceuticalization of medicine, and Sarah Schulman’s
Gentrification of the Mind, which explores how AIDS changed
New York’s creative landscape.
On the following pages you’ll find diverse perspectives on
the art, culture, and natural history of California and the West.
New regional titles include studies of California artists Stephen
De Staebler and David Park, the innovative People’s Guide to Los
Angeles, and a thoroughly updated edition of The Jepson Manual,
which has been a standard reference for teachers and students
since 1925.
This is just a small sampling of the titles we’re proud to
bring you this spring. Be sure to visit www.ucpress.edu for
author podcasts, sample chapters, blog updates, and many more
great books.

Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim
Why Calories Count
From Science to Politics
Calories—too few or too many—are the source of health problems
affecting billions of people in today’s globalized world. Although calories
are essential to human health and survival, they cannot be seen,
smelled, or tasted. They are also hard to understand. In Why Calories
Count, Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim explain in clear and accessible
language what calories are and how they work, both biologically
and politically. As they take readers through the issues that are fundamental
to our understanding of diet and food, weight gain, loss, and
obesity, Nestle and Nesheim sort through a great deal of the misinformation
put forth by food manufacturers and diet program promoters.
They elucidate the political stakes and show how federal and corporate
policies have come together to create an “eat more” environment.
Finally, having armed readers with the necessary information to interpret
food labels, evaluate diet claims, and understand evidence as presented
in popular media, the authors offer some candid advice: Get
organized. Eat less. Eat better. Move more. Get political.
Marion Nestle is Paulette Goddard Professor
in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies,
and Public Health and Professor of Sociology
at New York University and the author of many
books. Malden Nesheim is Professor Emeritus
of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. He
is coauthor (with Marion Nestle) of Feed Your Pet

Volume 1, Reader’s Edition
Mark Twain
Autobiography of Mark Twain
Edited by Harriet Elinor Smith and Other Editors
of the Mark Twain Project
“This first installment of Twain’s autobiography brings us closer to
all of him than we have ever come before.” New York Review of Books
“Mark Twain is terrific company, plain and simple. He knew everyone,
went everywhere, seemed to be interested in everything and
is capable of making the reader—in 2010—laugh on nearly every
page.” New York Times
“His ‘whole frank mind,’ sharp and funny, is seared onto every page.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Every word beguiles.” Wall Street Journal
“I start reading Twain’s Autobiography at any page and don’t want to
stop, for the sheer voluptuous pleasure of the prose.”
Twitter: Roger Ebert
The year 2010 marked the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain’s death.
In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished
tradition of publishing Mark Twain’s works, UC Press published
Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, the first of a projected
three-volume edition of the complete, uncensored autobiography. The
book became an immediate bestseller and was hailed as the capstone
of the life’s work of America’s favorite author.
This Reader’s Edition, a portable paperback in larger type, republishes
the text of the hardcover Autobiography in a form that is convenient
for the general reader, without the editorial explanatory notes. It
includes a brief introduction describing the evolution of Mark Twain’s
ideas about writing his autobiography, as well as a chronology of his
life, brief family biographies, and an excerpt from the forthcoming
Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2—a controversial but characteristically
humorous attack on Christian doctrine.

There are three major myths of human nature: humans are divided
into biological races; humans are naturally aggressive; men and
women are truly different in behavior, desires, and wiring. In an
engaging and wide-ranging narrative Agustín Fuentes counters
these pervasive and pernicious myths about human behavior.
Tackling misconceptions about what race, aggression, and sex really
mean for humans, Fuentes incorporates an accessible understanding
of culture, genetics, and evolution requiring us to dispose of notions
of “nature or nurture.” Presenting scientific evidence from diverse
fields, including anthropology, biology, and psychology, Fuentes
devises a myth-busting toolkit to dismantle persistent fallacies about
the validity of biological races, the innateness of aggression and
violence, and the nature of monogamy and differences between the
sexes. A final chapter plus an appendix provide a set of take-home
points on how readers can myth-bust on their own. Accessible,
compelling, and original, this book is a rich and nuanced account
of how nature, culture, experience, and choice interact to influence
human behavior.

Glen Martin
Game Changer
Animal Rights and the Fate of Africa’s Wildlife
Are conservation and protecting animals the same thing? In Game
Changer, award-winning environmental reporter Glen Martin takes a
fresh look at this question as it applies to Africa’s megafauna. Martin
assesses the rising influence of the animal rights movement and
finds that the policies championed by animal welfare groups could
lead paradoxically to the elimination of the very species—including
elephants and lions—that are the most cherished. In his anecdotal
and highly engaging style, Martin takes readers to the heart of the
conflict. He revisits the debate between conservationists, who believe
that people whose lives are directly impacted by the creation of
national parks and preserves should be compensated, versus those
who believe that restrictive protection that forbids hunting is the
most effective way to conserve wildlife and habitats. Focusing on the
different approaches taken by Kenya, Tanzania, and Namibia, Martin
vividly shows how the world’s last great populations of wildlife have
become the hostages in a fight between those who love animals and
those who would save them.
Glen Martin is the author of National
Geographic’s Guide to Wildlife Watching: 100

All animals must eat. But who eats who, and why, or why not?
Because insects outnumber and collectively outweigh all other animals
combined, they comprise the largest amount of animal food
available for potential consumption. How do they avoid being eaten?
From masterful disguises to physical and chemical lures and traps,
predatory insects have devised ingenious and bizarre methods of
finding food. Equally ingenious are the means of hiding, mimicry,
escape, and defense waged by prospective prey in order to stay alive.
This absorbing book demonstrates that the relationship between the
eaten and the eater is a central—perhaps the central—aspect of what
goes on in the community of organisms. By explaining the many
ways in which insects avoid becoming a meal for a predator, and
the ways in which predators evade their defensive strategies, Gilbert
Waldbauer conveys an essential understanding of the unrelenting
coevolutionary forces at work in the world around us.

John Bateson
The Final Leap
Suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge
“Extremely well done. It’s the single most important contribution to
the debate surrounding suicide and the Golden Gate Bridge to date.”
Thomas Joiner, author of Lonely at the Top and Why People Die by Suicide
“John Bateson takes us on a gripping journey through the lives of
everyone who has been affected. He boldly counters myths with
facts, eloquently speaks of the unspeakable, and helps us all to
care about those who, in an instant, stopped caring about themselves.
This book stirs the soul to fight for the day when the protective
net is finally cast under the Golden Gate Bridge, when it will
become a national monument to both beauty and compassion.”
John Draper, Director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most beautiful and most photographed
structures in the world. It’s also the most deadly. Since it
opened in 1937, more than 1,500 people have died jumping off the
bridge, making it the top suicide site on earth. It’s also the only international
landmark without a suicide barrier. Weaving drama, tragedy,
and politics against the backdrop of a world-famous city, The Final
Leap is the first book ever written about Golden Gate Bridge suicides.
John Bateson leads us on a fascinating journey that uncovers the reasons
for the design decision that led to so many deaths, provides
insight into the phenomenon of suicide, and examines arguments for
and against a suicide barrier. He tells the stories of those who have
died, the few who have survived, and those who have been affected—
from loving families to the Coast Guard, from the coroner to suicide
prevention advocates. No one who reads this book will look at the
world’s largest Art Deco sculpture the same way again.
John Bateson is Executive Director of the Contra

Burgundy has a far stronger hold over the imagination and passions
of wine lovers than the relatively modest number of bottles it produces.
Over the centuries, hundreds of plots of vineyard land were
demarcated, farmed, and individually named. The monks who did
this work noticed that each vineyard had a slightly different character,
and that this difference was consistently expressed each year in the
wine it produced. Today we call this phenomenon terroir, and in
Burgundy it finds its fullest expression through the region’s signature
varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This sumptuously illustrated
and beautifully produced guide, complete with maps and more than
150 full-color photographs, leads readers on a journey through the
well-worn vineyard paths and into the cellars of the Côte d’Or. Bill
Nanson’s informative narrative describes the region’s vineyards and

involved in their translation into wine.

Every wine has a story. In this collection of elegantly written essays
from the past thirty years, updated with a new introduction and

David Park
A Painter’s Life
Nancy Boas is the author of The Society of Six:
California Colorists (UC Press) and co-curated
the exhibition of the same name at the Fine Arts
Museums of San Francisco.
David Park (1911–1960), transplanted Bostonian turned groundbreaking
West Coast painter, led the way in creating what became
known as Bay Area Figurative Art—a daring move during the post-
World War II years when abstract expressionism held sway. In this
beautifully illustrated biography, compiled from comprehensive and
sweeping interviews, Nancy Boas traces Park’s resolute search for a
new kind of figuration, one that would penetrate abstract expressionism’s
thickly layered surfaces and infuse them with human presence.
Boas changes our understanding of Park as a painter, highlighting
his strong influence on Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer Bischoff, and
other artists at the California School of Fine Arts and the University
of California, Berkeley. She plunges us into the lively 1940s and
1950s Bay Area art scene, pointing to Park’s work as a bold alternative
to the abstractions of Clyfford Still. As the book deepens our admiration
for Park’s figurative paintings, it affirms his stature as a major
figure in American art, one who spurred the figurative impulse
across the United States and abroad.

Henry Ossawa Tanner
Modern Spirit
This beautiful book, companion publication to the exhibition of the

pioneering African American artist Henry O. Tanner (1859–1937).
Recognized as the patriarch of African American artists, Tanner
forged a path to international success, powerfully influencing
younger black artists who came after him. Following a preface by
David Driskell, the essays in this book—written by international
scholars including Alan Braddock, Michael Leja, Jean-Claude Lesage,
Richard Powell, Marc Simpson, Tyler Stovall, and Hélène Valance—
explore many facets of Tanner’s life, including his upbringing in
post–Civil War Philadelphia, his background as the son of a bishop in
the African Methodist Episcopal church, and his role as the first
major academically trained African American artist. Additional
essays discuss Tanner’s expatriate life in France, his depictions of the
Holy Land and North Africa, and the scientific and technical innovations
reflected in his oeuvre. Edited and introduced by Anna O.
Marley, this volume expands our understanding of Tanner’s place in
art history, showing that his status as a painter was deeply influenced
by his race but not decided by it.

“Clay can be a metaphor for many things. I made it a metaphor for
flesh and earth.” Stephen De Staebler
Over the course of a fifty-year career, Stephen De Staebler (1933–2011)
created powerful, elegiac figurative sculptures in clay and bronze.
Extending and assimilating an artistic lineage that includes
Michelangelo, Auguste Rodin, and Alberto Giacometti as well as the
art of the ancient Americas, Egypt, and Greece, De Staebler developed
a sculptural vocabulary uniquely his own. A resident of the San
Francisco Bay Area since the late 1950s, De Staebler was among the
first students of the legendary Peter Voulkos at the University of
California, Berkeley. In conjunction with the Bay Area Figurative
movement, De Staebler helped to infuse the existentialist agenda of
Abstract Expressionism with a profound humanism.

The Banjo Clock
Poems
For Karen Garthe, poetry is a Molotov
cocktail. A master of radical invention,
Garthe combines brio of conception
with linguistic virtuosity, bringing language
to new life from the inside at
breakneck speed. The Banjo Clock, her
second collection, cultivates a luxuriant
sensibility even as it interrupts poetic
continuity with cuts, ironies, sharp wit,
and wild recklessness. In poems that
consider poetry itself, Garthe writes
about preparing the medium, the ink,
“the motion of new utility.” She then
turns to America’s psychic maladies
and the need to rehabilitate our democracy,
now floundering in the glare of
TV’s blue depressive light.

Cole Swensen
Gravesend
Gravesend, which takes its name from the
English town at the mouth of the Thames,
revisits the genre of the ghost story and,
through fragmentation, juxtaposition, and
allusion, powerfully summons the
uncanny, the spectral presence. Cole
Swensen delves into ancient fables, the
Bible, medieval records, Victorian ghost
stories, contemporary interviews, and more
to explore the effects of the ghostly on our
daily lives, at times returning to the notion
of “gravesend,” implicitly asking if all ends
in the grave or if death itself has an end.
Cole Swensen is the author of twelve previous
books of poetry, including the acclaimed Ours (UC
Press). She is also coeditor of American Hybrid:
A Norton Anthology of New Poetry and teaches in
the Literary Arts Program at Brown University.

This is the first month-by-month guide to gardening with native
plants in a state that follows a unique, nontraditional seasonal
rhythm. Beginning in October, when much of California leaves the
dry season behind and prepares for its own green “spring,” Helen
Popper provides detailed, calendar-based information for both beginning
and experienced native gardeners. Each month’s chapter lists
gardening tasks, including repeated tasks and those specific to each
season. Popper offers planting and design ideas, and explains core
gardening techniques such as pruning, mulching, and propagating.
She tells how to use native plants in traditional garden styles, including
Japanese, herb, and formal gardens, and recommends places for
viewing natives. An essential year-round companion, this beautifully
written and illustrated book nurtures the twin delights of seeing wild
plants in the garden and garden plants in the wild.

Growing California Native Plants,
Second Edition
With illustrations by Beth Merrick
Expanded and Updated
“For lovers of California’s native plants, this has been a must-have
book for over thirty years and the new edition promises to reach
an even larger audience. It remains a superb reference, combining
ecological and horticultural notes; a treasure-trove of information
for everyone interested in an authentic approach to beautiful and
sustainable gardens in California.”
Mike Evans, Founder and President, Tree of Life Native Nursery
First published thirty years ago, the long-awaited second edition of
Growing California Native Plants is the ideal hands-on native plant
guide for both experienced and novice gardeners. In addition to the
voluminous knowledge contributed by Marjorie G. Schmidt, now
deceased, Katherine L. Greenberg has taken note of the vibrant state
of today’s horticultural scene, adding plants and ideas that were little
known when the book first appeared. Lavishly illustrated with 200
new color photographs, drawings, maps, and charts, this concise and
easy-to-use reference covers trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, bulbs,
grasses, and vines, and includes a plant selection guide for quick reference.
The authors, whose combined experience spans six decades,
take California’s summer-dry climate and restricted water supplies
into account and provide helpful notes on companion plants and gardening
with wildlife. Practical and informative, Growing California
Native Plants is a valuable reference for gardeners everywhere in
California and an enjoyable book simply to explore.
Marjorie G. Schmidt was a gardener and a writer
for Fremontia, the journal of the California Native
Plant Society. Katherine L. Greenberg, a gardener

A People’s Guide to Los Angeles
“Forget the stars’ map of Hollywood: this is the real trip through an
LA history of militant strikers, civil rights activists and unforgettable
feminists. A tour de force of imagination and memory.”
Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles
A People’s Guide to Los Angeles offers an assortment of eye-opening
alternatives to L.A.’s usual tourist destinations. It documents 115
little-known sites in the City of Angels where struggles related to
race, class, gender, and sexuality have occured. They introduce us to
people and events usually ignored by mainstream media and, in the
process, create a fresh history of Los Angeles. Roughly dividing the
city into six regions—North Los Angeles, the Eastside and San
Gabriel Valley, South Los Angeles, Long Beach and the Harbor, the
Westside, and the San Fernando Valley—this illuminating guide
shows how power operates in the shaping of places, and how it
remains embedded in the landscape.

Albert L. Hurtado
Herbert Eugene Bolton
Historian of the American Borderlands
This definitive biography offers a new critical
assessment of the life, works, and ideas
of Herbert E. Bolton (1870–1953), a leading
historian of the American West, Mexico,
and Latin America. Bolton, a famous pupil
of Frederick Jackson Turner, formulated a
concept—the borderlands—that is a foundation
of historical studies today. His
research took him not only to the archives
and libraries of Mexico but out on the trails
blazed by Spanish soldiers and missionaries
during the colonial era. Bolton helped
establish the reputation of the University of
California and the Bancroft Library in the
eyes of the world and was influential
among historians during his lifetime, but
interest in his ideas waned after his death.
Now, more than a century after Bolton
began to investigate the Mexican archives,
Albert L. Hurtado explores his life against
the backdrop of the cultural and political
controversies of his day.
Albert L. Hurtado is Travis Chair in Modern
American History at the University of Oklahoma.
He is the author of John Sutter: A Life on the North
American Frontier, winner of the Caughey Prize
from the Western Historical Association, among

El Cinco de Mayo
An American Tradition
Why is Cinco de Mayo—a holiday
commemorating a Mexican victory over
the French at Puebla in 1862—so widely
celebrated in California and across the
United States, when it is scarcely observed
in Mexico? As David E. Hayes-Bautista
explains, the holiday is not Mexican at all,
but rather an American one, created by
Latinos in California during the mid-nineteenth
century. Hayes-Bautista shows how
the meaning of Cinco de Mayo has shifted
over time—it embodied immigrant nostalgia
in the 1930s, U.S. patriotism during
World War II, Chicano Power in the 1960s
and 1970s, and commercial intentions in
the 1980s and 1990s. Today, it continues to
reflect the aspirations of a community that
is engaged, empowered, and expanding.
David E. Hayes-Bautista is Professor of Medicine
and Director of the Center for the Study of Latino
Health and Culture at the David Geffen School

Joseph Horowitz
Moral Fire
Musical Portraits from
America’s Fin de Siècle
Joseph Horowitz writes in Moral Fire: “If
the Met’s screaming Wagnerites standing
on chairs (in the 1890s) are unthinkable
today, it is partly because we mistrust high
feeling. Our children avidly specialize in
vicarious forms of electronic interpersonal
diversion. Our laptops and televisions
ensnare us in a surrogate world that shuns
all but facile passions; only Jon Stewart and
Bill Maher share moments of moral outrage
disguised as comedy.”
Arguing that the past can prove
instructive and inspirational, Horowitz
revisits four astonishing personalities—
Henry Higginson, Laura Langford, Henry
Krehbiel and Charles Ives—whose missionary
work in the realm of culture signaled a
belief in the fundamental decency of civilized
human nature, in the universality of
moral values, and in progress toward a
kingdom of peace and love.
Joseph Horowitz is the author of Understanding
Toscanini, Wagner Nights (UC Press), Classical

David Schiff
The Ellington Century
Breaking down walls between genres that
are usually discussed separately—classical,
jazz, and popular—this highly engaging
book offers a compelling new integrated
view of twentieth-century music. Placing
Duke Ellington (1899–1974) at the center
of the story, David Schiff explores music
written during the composer’s lifetime in
terms of broad ideas such as rhythm, melody,
and harmony. He shows how composers
and performers across genres shared
the common pursuit of representing the
rapidly changing conditions of modern life.
The Ellington Century demonstrates how
Duke Ellington’s music is as vital to musical
modernism as anything by Stravinsky,
more influential than anything by
Schoenberg, and has had a lasting impact
on jazz and pop that reaches from
Gershwin to contemporary R&B.
David Schiff is R.P. Wollenberg Professor of

Robert Duncan
The Ambassador from Venus:
A Biography
This definitive biography gives a brilliant
account of the life and art of Robert
Duncan (1919–1988), one of America’s
great postwar poets. Lisa Jarnot takes us
from Duncan’s birth in Oakland,
California, through his childhood in an
eccentrically Theosophist household, to his

who became an inspirational figure for the
many poets and painters who gathered
around him. Weaving together quotations
from Duncan’s notebooks and interviews
with those who knew him, Jarnot vividly
describes his life on the West Coast and in
New York City and his encounters with
luminaries such as Henry Miller, Anaïs
Nin, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin,

Witness to a Lost Imagination
In this gripping memoir of the AIDS years

much of the rebellious queer culture, cheap

vanished almost overnight to be

David Healy
Pharmageddon
This searing indictment, David Healy’s
most comprehensive and forceful argument
against the pharmaceuticalization of medicine,
tackles problems in health care that
are leading to a growing number of deaths
and disabilities. Healy, who was the first to
draw attention to the now well-publicized
suicide-inducing side effects of many antidepressants,
attributes our current state of
affairs to three key factors: product rather
than process patents on drugs, the classification
of certain drugs as prescription-only,
and industry-controlled drug trials. These
developments have tied the survival of
pharmaceutical companies to the development
of blockbuster drugs, so that they
must overhype benefits and deny real hazards.
Healy further explains why these
trends have basically ended the possibility
of universal health care in the United
States and elsewhere around the world. He
concludes with suggestions for reform of
our currently corrupted evidence-based
medical system.
David Healy is Professor of Psychiatry at Cardiff
University in Britain and a former Secretary of the

Thomas Pinney
The Makers of
American Wine
A Record of Two Hundred Years
Americans learned how to make wine successfully
about two hundred years ago,
after failing for more than two hundred
years. Thomas Pinney takes an engaging
approach to this history by telling the story
of American wine through the lives of 13
people who played significant roles in
building the wine industry that now
extends to every state. While some
names—such as Mondavi and Gallo—will
be familiar, others are less well known.
These include the wealthy Nicholas
Longworth, who produced the first popular
American wine; the German immigrant
George Husmann, who championed the
native Norton grape in Missouri and supplied
rootstock to save French vineyards
from phylloxera; Frank Schoonmaker, who
championed the varietal concept over wines
with misleading names; and Maynard
Amerine, who helped make UC Davis a
world-class winemaking school.
Thomas Pinney is Professor Emeritus of English
at Pomona College. He is the author or editor of
several books, including the two-volume A History
of Wine in America (UC Press).

Mabel O. Wilson
Negro Building
Black Americans in the
World of Fairs and Museums
Focusing on black Americans’ participation
in world’s fairs, Emancipation expositions,
and early black grassroots museums, Negro
Building traces the evolution of black public
history from the Civil War through the civil
rights movement of the 1960s. Mabel O.
Wilson gives voice to the figures that conceived
the curatorial content—Booker T.
Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells,
A. Philip Randolph, Horace Cayton and
Margaret Burroughs. As the 2015 opening
of the National Museum of African
American History and Culture in
Washington, D.C., approaches, the book
reveals why the black cities of Chicago and
Detroit became the sites of major black historical
museums rather than the nation’s
capital—until now.
Mabel O. Wilson is Associate Professor of
Architecture at Columbia’s Graduate School of
Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where
she directs the program for Advanced Architectural
Research.

Theresa Runstedtler
Jack Johnson,
Rebel Sojourner
Boxing in the Shadow of
the Global Color Line
In his day, Jack Johnson—born in Texas,
the son of former slaves—was the most
famous black man on the planet. As the
first African American World Heavyweight
Champion (1908–1915), he publicly challenged
white supremacy at home and
abroad, enjoying the same audacious lifestyle
of conspicuous consumption, masculine
bravado, and interracial love wherever
he traveled. Jack Johnson, Rebel Sojourner
provides the first in-depth exploration of
Johnson’s battles against the color line in
places as far-flung as Sydney, London, Cape
Town, Paris, Havana, and Mexico City. In
relating this dramatic story, Theresa
Runstedtler constructs a global history of
race, gender, and empire in the early
twentieth century.
Theresa Runstedtler is Assistant Professor of
American Studies at the University of Buffalo.

Wayne Koestenbaum
The Anatomy of
Harpo Marx
The Anatomy of Harpo Marx is a luxuriant,
detailed play-by-play account of Harpo
Marx’s physical movements as captured on
screen. Wayne Koestenbaum guides us
through the thirteen Marx Brothers films,
from The Cocoanuts in 1929 to Love Happy
in 1950, to focus on Harpo’s chief and yet
heretofore unexplored attribute—his profound
and contradictory corporeality.
Koestenbaum celebrates the astonishing
range of Harpo’s body—its kinks, sexual
multiplicities, somnolence, Jewishness,
“cute” pathos, and more. In a virtuosic
performance, Koestenbaum’s text moves
gracefully from insightful analysis to cultural
critique to autobiographical musing,
and provides Harpo with a host of odd
bedfellows, including Walter Benjamin
and Barbra Streisand.
Wayne Koestenbaum is Distinguished Professor
of Literature at the CUNY- Graduate Center. He is
the author of the acclaimed The Queen’s Throat:
Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire,
among other books.

Eating Bitterness
Stories from the Front Lines of
China’s Great Urban Migration
Every year over 150 million peasants flock
to China’s urban centers, providing a profusion
of cheap labor that helps fuel the
country’s staggering economic growth.
Award-winning journalist Michelle
Dammon Loyalka follows the trials and
qtriumphs of eight such migrants—
including a vegetable vendor, an itinerant
knife sharpener, a free-spirited recycler,
and a cash-strapped mother—offering an
inside look at the pain, self-sacrifice, and
uncertainty underlying China’s dramatic
national transformation. At the heart of
the book lies each person’s ability to “eat
bitterness”—a term that roughly means to
endure hardships, overcome difficulties,
and forge ahead. These stories illustrate
why China continues to advance, even as
the rest of the world remains embroiled in
financial turmoil. At the same time,
Eating Bitterness demonstrates how dealing
with the issues facing this class of
people constitutes China’s most pressing
domestic challenge.
Michelle Dammon Loyalka is a freelance journalist
and editor. She holds a master’s degree from
the Missouri School of Journalism.

Scott Bukatman
The Poetics of
Slumberland
Animated Spirits and the
Animating Spirit
In The Poetics of Slumberland, Scott
Bukatman celebrates play, plasmatic possibility,
and the life of images in cartoons,
comics, and cinema. Bukatman begins
with Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in
Slumberland to explore how and why the
emerging media of comics and cartoons
brilliantly captured a playful, rebellious
energy characterized by hyperbolic emotion,
physicality, and imagination. The
book broadens to consider similar “animated”
behaviors in seemingly disparate
media—films about Jackson Pollock, Pablo
Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh; the musical
My Fair Lady and the story of
Frankenstein; the slapstick comedies of
Jerry Lewis; and contemporary comic
superheroes—drawing them all together as
the purveyors of embodied utopias of
disorder.
Scott Bukatman is Professor of Film and Media
Studies at Stanford University.

Stephen Hinton
Weill’s Musical Theater
Stages of Reform
In the first musicological study of Kurt
Weill’s complete stage works, Stephen
Hinton charts the full range of theatrical
achievements by one of twentieth-century
musical theater’s key figures. Hinton shows
how Weill’s experiments with a range of
genres—from one-act operas and plays
with music to Broadway musicals and filmopera—became
an indispensable part of
the reforms he promoted during his brief
but intense career. Confronting the divisive
and erroneous notion of “two Weills”—one
European, the other American—Hinton
adopts a broad and inclusive perspective,
establishing criteria that allow aspects of
continuity to emerge, particularly in matters
of dramaturgy. Tracing his extraordinary
journey as a composer, the book
shows how Weill’s artistic ambitions led to
his working with a remarkably heterogeneous
collection of authors, such as Georg
Kaiser, Bertolt Brecht, Moss Hart, Alan Jay
Lerner, and Maxwell Anderson.
Stephen Hinton is Avalon Professor of the
Humanities at Stanford University and the author

Walter M. Fitch
The Three Failures
of Creationism
Logic, Rhetoric, and Science
Walter M. Fitch, a pioneer in the study of
molecular evolution, has written this
cogent overview of why creationism fails
with respect to all the fundamentals of scientific
inquiry. He explains the basics of
logic and rhetoric at the heart of scientific
thinking, shows what a logical syllogism is,
and tells how one can detect that an argument
is logically fallacious, and therefore
invalid, or even duplicitous. Fitch takes his
readers through the arguments used by creationists
to question the science of evolution.
He clearly delineates the fallacies in
logic that characterize creationist thinking,
and explores the basic statistics that creationists
tend to ignore, including elementary
genetics, the age of the Earth, and
fossil dating. His book gives readers the
tools they need for detecting and disassembling
the ideas most frequently repeated by
creationists.
Walter M. Fitch (1929–2011) was Professor of
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University
of California, Irvine. He was a member of the
National Academy of Sciences and author of books
including Variation and Evolution in Plants and
Microorganisms: Toward a New Synthesis Fifty

Jerry D. Moore
The Prehistory of Home
Many animals build shelters, but only
humans build homes. No other species creates
such a variety of dwellings. Drawing
examples from across the archaeological
record and around the world, archaeologist
Jerry D. Moore recounts the cultural development
of the uniquely human imperative
to maintain domestic dwellings. He shows
how our houses allow us to physically adapt
to the environment and conceptually order
the cosmos, and explains how we fabricate
dwellings and, in the process, construct
our lives. The Prehistory of Home points out
how houses function as symbols of equality
or proclaim the social divides between
people, and how they shield us not only
from the elements, but increasingly from
inchoate fear.
Jerry D. Moore is Professor of Anthropology
at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
He is the author of Architecture and Power in

Blue Sky Metropolis
Aerospace and Southern California
Art is from Blue Sky Metropolis: Aerospace and Southern California, edited by
Peter J. Westwick.
Why did Southern California become the
aerospace capital of the world? What were
the consequences of this development for
the region, for the nation, and for aerospace
itself? Featuring essays by a multidisciplinary
group of leading scholars and writers,
this volume investigates the intersection
of aerospace and Southern California
through the lenses of anthropology, history
of science and technology, labor, business,
ethnicity and gender, architecture, and the
environment.
Peter J. Westwick is Assistant Professor of
History at the University of Southern California and
Director of the Aerospace History Project, an initiative
of the Huntington-USC Institute on California
and the West.

Joshua Paddison
American Heathens
Religion, Race, and Reconstruction
in California
In the 19th-century debate over whether
the United States should be an explicitly
Christian nation, California emerged as a
central battleground. Racial groups that
were perceived as godless and uncivilized
were excluded from suffrage, and evangelism
among Indians and the Chinese was
seen as a politically incendiary act. Joshua
Paddison sheds light on Reconstruction’s
impact on Indians and Asian Americans
by illustrating how marginalized groups
fought for a political voice, refuting racist
assumptions with their lives, words, and
faith. Reconstruction, he argues, was not
merely a remaking of the South, but
rather a multiracial and multiregional
process of reimagining the nation.
Joshua Paddison is American Council of Learned
Societies New Faculty Fellow in the American
Studies Program and the Department of Religious
Studies at Indiana University.

Genesis
William Blake’s Last Illuminated Work
William Blake—poet, printmaker, artist—
drew inspiration from the Bible throughout
his life. Shortly before his death in
1827, he began an illuminated manuscript
of the Book of Genesis, revisiting such key
themes as creation, division, and forgiveness.
This landmark edition of Blake’s
Genesis provides the first full-size color
reproduction of the Huntington Library’s
manuscript. Blake completed 11 pages of
text decorated with pencil and watercolor
designs, including two vibrantly colored
title pages. Blake’s unfinished pages offer
rare insights into his process of composition.
Mark Crosby and Robert N. Essick’s
detailed critical commentary considers the
way in which Blake read his Genesis,
Blake’s relationship with patron John
Linnell, and the iconography of Blake’s
designs and their relation to earlier works.
Mark Crosby is Leverhulme Early Career Fellow
at Queen’s University, Belfast. Robert N. Essick
is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at
the University of California, Riverside.
