Fixing Global FinanceMartin WolfThe latest book from Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf explains why globalimbalances cause financial crises—including the one ravaging the UnitedStates right now—and outlines the steps for ending this destructive cycle.Reviewing global financial crises since 1980, Wolf lays bare the links between themicroeconomics of finance and the macroeconomics of the balance of payments,demonstrating how the subprime lending crisis in the United States fits into apattern that includes the economic shocks of 1997, 1998, and early 1999 in LatinAmerica, Russia, and Asia. He explains why the United States is now the “borrowerand spender of last resort,” makes the case that this is an untenable arrangement,and argues that global economic security depends on the ability of emergingeconomies to develop robust financial systems based on domestic currencies.Sharply and clearly argued, Wolf’s prescription for fixing global finance illustrateswhy he has been described as “the world’s preeminent financial journalist.”“An extraordinarily cogent and thoughtful look at the contemporary United States borrowingbinge, which stands as the leading macroeconomic and financial puzzle of our time. Wolf rigorouslycritiques the cutting edge academic debate with depth, thoroughness and readabilitythat one will not find anywhere else.”—Kenneth Rogoff, Harvard University“Martin Wolf is the world’s preeminent financial journalist. This book should be read by anyonewho cares about the future of the international system, which, given recent events, is anyonewho cares about the global economy or their economic future.”—Lawrence H.

Three Generations, No ImbecilesEugenics, the Supreme Court, and Buck v. BellPaul A. LombardoThree Generations, No Imbeciles is a chronicle of the 1927 Supreme Courtcase Buck v. Bell, which approved laws allowing states to perform surgeryin order to prevent “feebleminded and socially inadequate” people from havingchildren.The Buck case was the first and only time in Supreme Court history whenan intrusive medical procedure—involuntary sterilization—was endorsed as atool of government eugenic policy. It is doubly notorious for the court’s decision,written by renowned Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Holmes’ declaration“Three generations of imbeciles are enough” led to lifelong infamy forCarrie Buck and her family.Paul A. Lombardo’s startling narrative is the only fully documented account ofthe Buck case ever written. He was the last person to interview Carrie Buckbefore she died, and the book incorporates materialhe discovered over more than twenty-five yearsof research. Items such as Carrie Buck’s medicalrecords, the honor roll grade book of her daughterVivian, private correspondence of the lawyer whowas named to represent her, and the only existingphotos of all three generations of the Buck familysupport the conclusion that the Buck case was a fraud,initiated to hide the shame of a poor girl, pregnantafter she had been raped.Though the Buck decision set the stage for morethan sixty thousand operations in the United Statesand was cited at the Nuremberg trials in defenseof Nazi sterilization experiments, it has never beenoverturned. This book tracks the career of Buck inAmerican memory, as a potent symbol of governmentcontrol of reproduction, and a troubling precedentin the human genome era.• Advance reading copies• National mediaPaul A.

Becoming BatmanThe Possibility of a SuperheroE. Paul ZehrBattling bad guys. High-tech hideouts. The gratitude of the masses. Whoat some point in their life hasn’t dreamed of being a superhero? Impossible,right? Or is it?Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes.His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline,and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist,kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: coulda mortal ever become Batman?Zehr discusses the physical and skill training necessary to maintain bad-guyfightingreadiness while relating the science underlying this process, fromstrength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertakingsuch a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve,Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained personcould handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick and thenumber of adversaries that individual could dispatch, what it would be liketo fight while wearing a batsuit, and the amount of food one would have toconsume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City’s guardian.A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman providesthe background for attaining the realizable—though extreme—level of humanperformance that would allow you to be a superhero.“As a kid, I wanted to be Batman but always ended up more like the Joker. I only wishI could have read Dr. Zehr’s fascinating book then, so that I would know exactly whatit took to become a real superhero.”—Bradford W. Wright, author of Comic Book Nation“If you really want to become Batman, having a billion dollars in start-up funds and a subterraneanlair is just the beginning.

Faces of the ConfederacyAn Album of Southern Soldiers and Their StoriesRonald S. Coddingtonforeword by Michael FellmanT“ he history of the Civil War is the stories of its soldiers,” writes Ronald S.Coddington in the preface to Faces of the Confederacy. This book tells thestories of seventy-seven Southern soldiers—young farm boys, wealthy plantationowners, intellectual elites, uneducated poor—who posed for photographicportraits, cartes de visite, to leave with family, friends, and sweethearts beforegoing off to war. Coddington, a passionate collector of Civil War–era photography,conducted a monumental search for these previously unpublishedportrait cards, then unearthed the personal stories of their subjects, putting ahuman face on a war rife with inhuman atrocities.The Civil War took the lives of 22 of every 100 men who served. Coddingtonfollows the exhausted survivors as they return home to occupied citiesand towns, ravaged farmlands, a destabilized economy, and a social order inthe midst of upheaval. This book is a haunting and moving tribute to thosebrave men.Like its companion volume, Faces of the Civil War: An Album of Union Soldiersand Their Stories, this book offers readers a unique perspective on the war andcontributes to a better understanding of the role of the common soldier.“A charming book for enthusiasts, and a tribute to the excellent detective work of theauthor.”—Elizabeth D. Leonard, Colby College“With his meticulous research and a journalist’s eye for good stories, Ron Coddington hasbrought new life to Civil War photographic portraits of obscure and long-forgotten Confederateswhose wartime experiences might otherwise have been lost to history. This is morethan just a fine compilation of Civil War photographs.”—Edwin C. Bearss, National Park Service“Ron Coddington has produced a fine new volume that will take its place beside William A.Albaugh’s Confederate faces and several other Confederate photographic histories. facesof the Confederacy continues the tradition of publishing Confederate soldier portraits, butinstead of the standard fare of somewhat small photographs and brief captions, he providesus with full page pictures and the thoroughly researched stories of each individual depicted,widening our understanding of these men far beyond the normal presentation. In the worldof Civil War photography, it is rare to find something that is truly new, but this book fitsthat bill.”—Les Jensen, West Point MuseumRonald S.

A Railroad Atlas of the United Statesin 1946Volume 3: Indiana, Lower Michigan, and OhioRichard C. CarpenterRailroad Atlas of the United States in 1946 recalls an era when steam locomotiveswere still king and passenger trains stopped at nearly every townAin America. Railroad companies employed over a million workers, on thetrains and along the tracks. Everything moved by rail: travelers, mail, and freight—whether a massive electric generator or a child’s bicycle.Richard C. Carpenter’s hand-drawn color maps recapture the precise details:the various trunk and ancillary railroad passenger lines that served thousandsof towns; long-since demolished steam locomotive and manual signal towerinstallations; towns that functioned solely as places where crews changedover; track pans; coaling stations; tunnels; bridges and viaducts; and other railspecificsites.The third and largest volume in this acclaimed series includes 276 maps anddrawings and focuses on Indiana, Lower Michigan, and Ohio. These statescould be called the crossroads of the national railroad network, where eastwesttranscontinental lines crossed north-south inter-regional lines. Carpenterdepicts the major rail centers of Indianapolis, Gary, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland,and Chicago, as well as every town and rail junction from Mackinaw City,Michigan, to Tell City, Indiana.Praise for previous volumes:“Without exception, I have found these maps to be completely accurate. They have beendrawn in a very clear and appealing manner, so that any reader will understand exactlywhat the railroad plant looked like in 1946—immediately following the peak of World WarII operations.”—Richard B.

The NanticokePortrait of a Chesapeake RiverDavid W. Harp and Tom HortonOnce again marrying photography with prose, longtime collaboratorsDavid W. Harp and Tom Horton capture the natural beautyand rich history of the Nanticoke River, one of the Chesapeake’sleast known waterways.Despite rampant development and agricultural abuse, the Nanticokeremains one of the most pristine rivers of the Chesapeake Bay watershed,looking much as it did when Captain John Smith first sailed itswaters four hundred years ago. While parts of the river drain stormwateroff the flat fields of the Delmarva Peninsula, most of the Nanticokeserves no purpose except natural beauty. Its meandering watersand fertile wetlands sustain a remarkable diversity of life. The Nanticokeis home to beavers, otters, woodpeckers, freshwater fish andshellfish, watergrasses, bog orchids, bald cypresses, and the rareAtlantic white cedar.More than one hundred color photographs reveal unspoiled watersrarely glimpsed other than by Native Americans, tugboat captains,naturalists, and commercial waterman. The Nanticoke makesclear the urgency of preserving this vital but fragile ecosystem.Praise for David W.

Scraping ByWage Labor, Slavery, and Survival in Early BaltimoreSeth RockmanBaltimore’s Alley HousesHomes for Working People since the 1780sMary Ellen HaywardEnslaved mariners, white seamstresses, Irish dockhands, freeblack domestic servants, and native-born street sweepers. Allnavigated the low-end labor market in post-revolutionaryBaltimore. Seth Rockman considers this diverse workforce,exploring how race, sex, nativity, and legal status determinedthe economic opportunities and vulnerabilities of workingfamilies in the early republic.In the era of Frederick Douglass, Baltimore’s distinctiveeconomy featured many slaves who earned wages and whiteworkers who performed backbreaking labor. By focusing hisstudy on this boomtown, Rockman reassesses the roles ofrace and region and rewrites the history of class and capitalismin the United States during this time.Rockman describes the material experiences of low-wageworkers—how they found work, translated labor into food,fuel, and rent, and navigated underground economies andsocial welfare systems. He argues that their labor was indispensableto the early republic’s market revolution, and it wascentral to the transformation of the United States into thewealthiest society in the Western world.Rockman’s research includes construction site payrolls, employmentadvertisements, almshouse records, court petitions,and the nation’s first “living wage” campaign. These rich accountsof day laborers and domestic servants illuminate thehistory of early republic capitalism and its consequences forworking families.“A creative treatment of an intriguing and important topic . . . Theeffort to make slavery history a part of labor history, and vice versa,is commendable, effective, and overdue.”—Peter H. Wood, Duke UniversitySeth Rockman is an assistant professor of history at BrownUniversity and author of Welfare Reform in the EarlyRepublic.Studies in Early American Economy and Societyfrom the Library Company of PhiladelphiaCathy Matson, Series EditorThis pioneering study explainshow one of America’s importantearly cities responded tothe challenge of housing itspoorer citizens. Where andhow did the working poorlive? How did builders anddevelopers provide reasonablypriced housing for lower-incomegroups during the city’sgrowth?Having studied over 3,000surviving alley houses in Baltimorethrough extensive landrecords and census research, Mary Ellen Hayward systematicallyreconstructs the lives, households, and neighborhoodsthat once thrived on the city’s narrowest streets.In the past, these neighborhoods were sometimes referredto as “dilapidated,” “blighted,” or “poverty stricken.” InBaltimore’s Alley Houses, Hayward reveals the rich cultural andethnic traditions that formed the African-American and immigrantIrish, German, Bohemian, and Polish communitiesthat made their homes on the city’s alley streets.Featuring more than one hundred historic images, Baltimore’sAlley Houses documents the changing architectural stylesof low-income housing over two centuries and reveals thecomplex lives of its residents.Mary Ellen Hayward is an architectural historian and museumconsultant who has worked on a number of projectssponsored by the Maryland Historical Trust and the MarylandHumanities Council.

Abraham LincolnA LifeMichael BurlingameIn the first multi-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln to be published indecades, Lincoln scholar Michael Burlingame offers a fresh look at the lifeof one of America’s greatest presidents. Incorporating the field notes of earlierbiographers, along with decades of research in multiple manuscript archivesand long-neglected newspapers, this remarkable work will both alter and reinforcecurrent understanding of America’s sixteenth president.Volume 1 covers Lincoln’s early childhood, his experiences as a farm boy inIndiana and Illinois, his legal training, and the political ambition that led to aterm in Congress in the 1840s. In volume 2, Burlingame examines Lincoln’slife during his presidency and the Civil War, narrating in fascinating detail thecrisis over Fort Sumter and Lincoln’s own battles with relentless office seekers,hostile newspaper editors, and incompetent field commanders. Burlingamealso offers new interpretations of Lincoln’s private life, discussing his marriageto Mary Todd and the untimely deaths of two sons to disease.But through it all—his difficult childhood, his contentious political career, afratricidal war, and tragic personal losses—Lincoln preserved a keen sense ofhumor and acquired a psychological maturity that proved to be the North’smost valuable asset in winning the Civil War.Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, thislandmark publication establishes Burlingame as the most assiduousLincoln biographer of recent memory and brings Lincoln alive to modernreaders as never before.“The remarkable breadth of Burlingame’s research has resulted in a book unlike anythingelse written about Lincoln. It will be a major contribution to the field.”—Gerald J.

Nature and Historyin the Potomac CountryFrom Hunter-Gatherers to the Age of JeffersonJames D. RiceJames D. Rice’s unique study of the Potomac River basin begins with a mystery.Why, when the whole of the region offered fertile soil and excellentfishing and hunting, was nearly three-quarters of the land uninhabited on theeve of colonization? Rice wonders how the existence of this no man’s landaffected nearby Native American and, later, colonial settlements. Did it functionas a commons, as a place where all were free to hunt and fish? Or was itperceived as a strange and hostile wilderness?Rice discovers environmental factors at the center of the story. Making use ofextensive archaeological and anthropological research, as well as the vast scholarshipon farming practices in the colonial period, he traces the region’s historyfrom its earliest known habitation. With exceptionally vivid prose, Ricemakes clear the implications of unbridled economic development for the forests,streams, and wetlands of the Potomac River basin. How, Rice asks, did humankindexploit and alter the landscape and the quality of the river’s waters?Equal parts environmental, Native American, and colonial history, Nature andHistory in the Potomac Country is a useful and innovative study of the PotomacRiver, its valley, and its people.James D.

Gustavus Vasa Foxof the Union NavyA BiographyAri HoogenboomThis magisterial biography recounts the life and career ofone of the U.S. Navy’s most influential officers, GustavusVasa Fox. Ari Hoogenboom’s examination of Fox’s incrediblelife and distinguished career creates a vivid portrait ofthe man most responsible for the U.S. Navy’s stellar performancein the Civil War.Fox’s naval service began in 1838 when he went to sea as amidshipman. He sailed in the Mediterranean, off the coastof Africa, in the Gulf of Mexico, and with the East IndiaSquadron in the Pacific. By participating in the Coast Surveyand by navigating the lower Mississippi River in the 1850s,as captain of a steamer that ran from New York to Havanato New Orleans and back, Fox gained valuable experiencethat would serve him well in the Civil War.During the war, Fox was instrumental in mounting theblockade of the southern coast, from the Chesapeake Bay tothe Rio Grande. After the battle between the Monitor andthe Virginia, Fox championed ironclad technology despitehaving to contend with an officer corps wedded to woodenships. In planning and coordinating expeditions, Fox deservesmuch of the credit for the navy’s successes at Hatteras, PortRoyal, New Orleans, Mobile Bay, and Fort Fisher.Initially neither proslavery nor antislavery, Fox was passionatelycommitted to the preservation of the Union and, asblack sailors made a crucial contribution toward that end,became an advocate of freedom and voting rights for AfricanAmericans. A skilled administrator who understood boththe demands of politicians and the needs of line officers, hewas able to communicate effectively with each group. Alongwith officers like Quartermaster General MontgomeryMeigs and coordinator of military railroads HermanHaupt, Fox played a critical if unappreciated role in Unionvictory.Ari Hoogenboom is professor of history emeritus at BrooklynCollege of the City University of New York.

Herresearch became of vital importance when it was discoveredthat Hopkins himself—owing to a deep sense of humility—had destroyed virtually all of his papers before he died in1873. First published in 1929, this biography still stands asthe authoritative account of Hopkins’s life, his business career,and the motives that lay behind his decision to leavehis fortune to establish a university and hospital.Thom tells the story of Johns Hopkins’s family, includingthe origin of his unusual first name (originally the surnameof his great-grandmother). She traces his life from his childhoodon the family tobacco plantation to his rise as a merchantand banker who became the largest stockholder ofthe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.Thom portrays a man of principle—an abolitionist andUnion supporter in a divided city—who found himselfat odds with his Quaker faith. Forbidden to marry theonly woman he ever loved—his first cousin Elizabeth—heremained a lifelong bachelor. He disagreed with the Quakersabout temperance, trading in whiskey and enjoying finewine and champagne.Johns Hopkins died of pneumonia at the age of 78 onDecember 24, 1873. This volume includes his will and instructionsto the trustees, in which he articulated his wishesfor a school of medicine, a university press, an orphanage,and a school of nursing. Among his stipulations was thatthe hospital treat anyone, regardless of race, sex, age, or abilityto pay.This reissued edition brings this compelling portrait to anew generation of readers.Helen Hopkins THOm (1867–1948) was the great-niece ofJohns Hopkins.

Mary Elizabeth GarrettSociety and Philanthropy in the Gilded AgeKathleen Waters SanderMary Elizabeth Garrett was one of the most influential philanthropists andwomen activists of the Gilded Age. With Mary’s legacy all but forgotten,Kathleen Waters Sander recounts in impressive detail the life and times of thisremarkable woman, through the turbulent years of the Civil War to the earlytwentieth century. At once a captivating biography of Garrett and an epic accountof the rise of commerce, railroading, and women’s rights, Sander’s workre-examines the great social and political movements of the age.As the youngest child and only daughter of the B&O Railroadmogul John Work Garrett, Mary was bright and capable,well suited to become her father’s heir apparent. But socialconvention prohibited her from following in his footsteps, asource of great frustration for the brilliant and strong-willedwoman.Mary turned her attentions instead to promoting women’srights, using her status and massive wealth to advance heruncompromising vision for women’s place in the expandingUnited States. She contributed the endowment to establishthe Johns Hopkins School of Medicine with two unprecedentedconditions: that women be admitted on the sameterms as men and that the school be graduate level, therebyforcing revolutionary policy changes at the male-run institution.Believing that advanced education was the key to women’sbetterment, she helped found and sustain the prestigiousgirl’s preparatory school in Baltimore, the Bryn Mawr School.Her philanthropic gifts to Bryn Mawr College helped tranformthe modest Quaker school into a renowned women’scollege. Mary was also a great supporter of women’s suffrage,working tirelessly to gain equal rights for women.Suffragist, friend of charitable causes, and champion of women’seducation, Mary Elizabeth Garrett both improved thestatus of women and ushered in modern standards of Americanmedicine and philanthropy.

Henri IV of FranceHis Reign and AgeVincent J. PittsVincent J. Pitts chronicles the life and times of one of France’smost remarkable kings in the first English-language biographyof Henri IV to be published in twenty-five years. Anunwelcome heir to the throne, Henri ruled over a kingdomplagued by religious civil war and political and economicinstability. By the end of his reign in 1610 he had pacifiedhis warring country, restored its prosperity, and reclaimedFrance’s place as a leading power in Europe. Pitts draws uponthe rich scholarship of recent decades to tell the captivatingstory of this pivotal French king.From boyhood, Henri was destined to be leader and protectorof the Huguenot movement in France. He served aschief of the Calvinist party and fought for the Huguenotforces in the bloody Wars of Religion before an extraordinarysequence of dynastic mishaps left the Protestant warlordnext in line for the French crown. Henri was forced torenounce his faith in support of his claim to the Catholicthrone and to unite his deeply divided country. A master ofpolitical maneuvering, Henri restored order to a country inthe throes of great religious, political, and economic upheaval.He was assassinated in 1610 by a Catholic zealot.Vincent Pitts expertly recounts this history and skillfullyuntangles its complex set of personalities and events. Pittsengages the vast amount of literature relating to the kinghimself as well as the large body of recent scholarship onFrance during this time. The result is a fascinating biographyof a French king and a comprehensive history of sixteenth-centuryFrance.“Marvelously weaves together the myriad influences . . . that shapedthe complex course of Henri’s life and the tumultuous age in which helived.

MorganThis wide-ranging narrative explores the role that Jews,Conversos, and Crypto-Jews played in settling and buildingthe Atlantic world between 1500 and 1800. Throughthe interwoven themes of markets, politics, religion, culture,and identity, Atlantic Diasporas demonstrates that Jews wereactive and equal participants in the imperial age along withthe Dutch, Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French.Organized into four sections, the essays here demonstratethat the world of Atlantic Jewry, most often typified by PortJews involved in mercantile pursuits, was more complex thancommonly depicted. The first section discusses the diasporain relation to maritime systems, commerce, and culture onthe Atlantic and includes an overview of Jewish history onboth sides of the ocean. The four essays in the second sectionprovide an in-depth look at Jewish mercantilism. In thethird section, the chapter authors assess the roles of identityand religion in settling the Atlantic, looking closely at religiousconversion; slavery; relationships among Jews, Christians,and Muslims; and the legacy of the lost tribes of Israel.A concluding commentary elucidates the fluidity of identityand boundaries in the formation of the Atlantic world.Featuring chapters by Jonathan Israel, Natalie Zemon Davis,Aviva Ben-Ur, Holly Snyder, and other prominent Jewishhistorians, this collection opens new avenues of inquiry intothe Jewish diaspora and integrates Jewish trade and settlementsinto the broader narrative of Atlantic exploration.“This rich volume makes a valuable contribution to early modernAtlantic history and to Jewish studies.

The Economy of Renaissance FlorenceRichard A. GoldthwaiteRichard A. Goldthwaite, a leading economic historian of the Italian Renaissance,has spent his career studying the Florentine economy. In this magisterialwork, Goldthwaite brings together a lifetime of research and insighton the subject, clarifying and explaining the complex workings of Florence’scommercial, banking, and artisan sectors.Florence was one of the most industrialized cities in medieval Europe, thanksto its thriving textile industries. The importation of raw materials and the exportationof finished cloth necessitated the creation of commercial and bankingpractices that extended far beyond Florence’s boundaries. Part I situatesFlorence within this wider international context and describes the commercialand banking networks through which the city’s merchant-bankers operated.Part II focuses on the urban economy of Florence itself, including various industries,merchants, artisans, and investors. It also evaluates the role of governmentin the economy, the relationship of the urban economy to the region,and the distribution of wealth throughout the society.While political, social, and cultural histories of Florence abound, none focusessolely on the economic history of the city. The Economy of Renaissance Florenceoffers both a systematic description of the city’s major economic activities anda comprehensive overview of its economic development from the late MiddleAges through the Renaissance to 1600.“Renaissance Florence has no more able defender in recent times than Professor RichardGoldthwaite.”—Washington Post Book World“Goldthwaite is an eminent economic historian and his position on the vexed question of the‘economic depression of the Renaissance’ has been laid out on a number of occasions.”—Times Literary SupplementRichard A.

The Moguls and the DictatorsHollywood and the Coming of World War IIDavid WelkyIn this fresh look at moviemaking during the Great Depression, DavidWelky examines Hollywood’s response to the rise of fascism and the beginningof the Second World War. Through innovative analysis of hundredsof movies—including The Dawn Patrol, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, and Sergeant York—Welky traces the shifting motivations and arguments of the film industry,politicians, and the public as they negotiated how—or whether—the silver screen should portray Nazism, depict conflict overseas, promoteAmericanism, and support President Roosevelt’s rearmament efforts.Hollywood, Welky argues, was a primary player in the debate between interventionistsand isolationists. These competing groups vied for influence andcontrol over the message Hollywood offered the public—either scorning itfor being too timid or attacking it for being too aggressive. The national debatereached a fever pitch in September 1941, when isolationists in the U.S.Senate staged widely publicized hearings, accusing the movie industry of warmongering.Nazis arrest hunter Alan Thorndike(Walter Pidgeon) before he can assassinateAdolf Hitler in Fritz Lang’s Man Hunt. Courtesyof the Academy of Motion Picture Arts andSciences Margaret Herrick Library.While prewar Hollywood often reflected the principles of the Roosevelt administration,it also sometimes outpaced the cautious and politically astute president.Providing Americans with the psychological preparation they needed toenter World War II, popular movies familiarized audiences with the wartimeexperience, offered definitions of patriotism and Americanism, and establishedthe fundamental distinctions between democracy and dictatorship.Welky’s depth of research and focused, analyticalapproach will be appreciated by historiansas well as film buffs.“These are fresh retellings of old sidebar legends . . .There have been other works that treat this area, butfew match the quality of interweaving the worlds ofmovies, diplomacy, and the temper of the times (especiallyas seen in the minds of the ‘moguls’).”—Thomas Cripps, professor emeritus, Morgan StateUniversityDecember 448 pages 6 x 918 halftones978-0-8018-9044-4 0-8018-9044-6$45.00(s) / £24.00 hcDavid Welky is an assistant professor of historyat the University of Central Arkansas, the authorof Everything Was Better in America: PrintCulture and the Great Depression, and coauthorof Charles A.

Happy Pills in AmericaFrom Miltown to ProzacDavid HerzbergValium. Paxil. Prozac. Prescribed by the millions each year,these medications have been hailed as wonder drugs andvilified as numbing and addictive crutches. Where did this“blockbuster drug” phenomenon come from? What factorsled to the mass acceptance of tranquilizers and antidepressants?And how has their widespread use affected Americanculture?David Herzberg addresses these questions by tracing the riseof psychiatric medicines, from Miltown in the 1950s to Valiumin the 1970s to Prozac in the 1990s. The result is morethan a story of doctors and patients. From bare-knuckledmarketing campaigns to political activism by feminists andantidrug warriors, the fate of psychopharmacology has beenintimately wrapped up in the broader currents of modernAmerican history. Beginning with the emergence of a medicalmarketplace for psychoactive drugs in the postwar consumerculture, Herzberg traces how “happy pills” becameembroiled in Cold War gender battles and the explosive politicsof the “war against drugs”—and how feminists broughtthe two issues together in a dramatic campaign against Valiumaddiction in the 1970s. A final look at antidepressantsshows that even the Prozac phenomenon owed as much tocommerce and culture as to scientific wizardry.With a barrage of “ask your doctor about” advertisementscompeting for attention with shocking news of drug companymalfeasance, Happy Pills is an invaluable look at howthe commercialization of medicine has transformed Americanculture since the end of World War II.“Herzberg steers a very steady course through dangerous waters. HappyPills is a beautiful read, its thesis engaging, and its style well-pacedand fresh. Its non-technical language and focus on the interactionbetween drugs and the broader culture should appeal to many readersregardless of specialization.”—David Healy, author of Mania: A Short History of Bipolar DisorderDavid Herzberg is an assistant professor of history at the StateUniversity of New York at Buffalo.Psychedelic PsychiatryLSD from Clinic to CampusErika DyckLSD’s short but colorful historyin North America carrieswith it the distinct cachetof counterculture and governmentexperimentation.The truth about this mindalteringchemical cocktail isfar more complex—and lesscontroversial—than generallybelieved.Psychedelic Psychiatry is thetale of medical researchersworking to understand LSD’stherapeutic properties justas escalating anxieties aboutdrug abuse in modern society laid the groundwork forthe end of experimentation at the edge of psychopharmacology.Historian Erika Dyck deftly recasts our understandingof LSD to show it as an experimental substance, amedical treatment, and a tool for exploring psychotic perspectives—aswell as a recreational drug. She recounts theinside story of the early days of LSD research in small-town,prairie Canada, when Humphry Osmond and Abram Hofferclaimed incredible advances in treating alcoholism, understandingschizophrenia and other psychoses, and achievingempathy with their patients.In relating the drug’s short, strange trip, Dyck points to therecent re-emergence of sanctioned psychotropic researchamong psychiatric practitioners. This challenge to theprevailing wisdom behind drug regulation and addictiontherapy provides a historical corrective to our perceptionof LSD’s medical efficacy.“Dyck combines archival materials, interviews, medical journal articles,and popular press accounts to create a reliable and original accountof the rise and fall of psychedelic psychiatry, and of its central,tragic figure, Humphry Osmond . . . Her analysis is dead on.”—David T.

The Social Behavior of Older AnimalsAnne Innis DaggHow do young and old social animals view each other? Are aged animalsperceived by others as weaker? Or wiser? What is the relationship betweenage and power among social animals?Taking a cue from Frans de Waal’s seminal work examining the lives of chimpanzees,Anne Innis Dagg in this pioneering study probes the lives of oldermammals and birds. Synthesizing the available scientific research and anecdotalevidence, she explores how aging affects the lives and behavior of animalsranging from elk to elephants and gulls to gorillas, examining such topics aslongevity; how others in a group view senior members in regard to leadership,wisdom, and teaching; mating success; interactions with mates and offspring;how aging affects dominance; changes in aggressive behavior and adaptability;and death and dying.At once instructive and compelling, this theme-spanning study reveals thecomplex nature of maturity in scores of social species and shows that animalbehavior often displays the same diversity we find in ourselves.Anne Innis Dagg teaches in the Independent Studies program of the Universityof Waterloo.

The Globalization of MartyrdomAl Qaeda, Salafi Jihad, and the Diffusion of Suicide AttacksAssaf MoghadamThis groundbreaking volume examines the rise and spread of suicide attacksover the past decade. Sorting through 1,270 terror strikes between1981 and 2007, Assaf Moghadam attributes their recent proliferation to themutually related ascendance of al Qaeda and its guiding ideology, Salafi jihad,an extreme interpretation of Islam that rejects national boundaries and seeksto create a global Muslim community.In exploring the roots of the extreme radicalization represented by Salafism,Moghadam finds many causes, including Western dominance in the Arabworld, the physical diffusion of Salafi institutions and actors, and the elementof opportunity created by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He uses individualexamples from the Middle East, Southwest Asia, and Europe to showhow the elite leaders of al Qaeda and affiliated groups and their foot soldiersinteract with one another and how they garner support—and a growing numberof converts and attackers—from the Muslim community. Based on overa decade of empirical research and a critical examination of existing thoughton suicide attacks, Moghadam distinguishes the key characteristics separatingglobalized suicide strikes from the traditional, localized pattern that previouslyprevailed.This unflinching analysis provides new information about the relationshipbetween ideology and suicide attacks and recommends policies focused oncontaining Salafi jihadism.“This is an authoritative and updated study on suicide attacks that is better than any otherresearch published in the field.

McMahona college education has long been acknowledged as essentialfor both personal success and economic growth. Butthe measurable value of its nonmonetary benefits have untilnow been poorly understood. Walter W. McMahon, aleading education economist, suggests that higher educationaccrues significant social and private benefits.McMahon argues that there is a major skill deficit in theUnited States and other OECD countries because of technicalchange and globalization. Yet with a college degreecomes better job opportunities, higher earnings, and evenimproved health. Higher education also promotes democracyand sustainable growth and contributes to reducedcrime and lower state welfare and prison costs. These socialbenefits are substantial in relation to the costs of a collegeeducation.McMahon offers a human capital perspective on this andother higher education policy issues. He suggests that poorinformation about the value of nonmarket benefits leadsto private underinvestment. He offers policy options enablingstate and federal governments to increase investmentin higher education.Adequately reforming higher education policy, McMahonargues, is also critical for reducing inequality and encouraginggrowth, both important in the present era of globalization.Walter W.

Higher Education and the New SocietyGeorge KellerWhile he celebrated higher education as the engine of progress in everyaspect of American life, George Keller also challenged academia’ssacred cows and entrenched practices with provocative ideas designed toinduce “creative discomfort.” Completed shortly before his death in 2007,Higher Education and the New Society caps the career of one of higher education’s exceptionalminds.Refining and expanding ideas Keller developed over his fifty-year career, this bookis a clarion call for change. In the face of a transformed American society marked bypopulation shifts, technological upheavals, and a volatile economic landscape, Kellerurges leaders in higher education to see and confront their own serious problems.With characteristic forthrightness and inimitable wit, Keller targets critical areas wherebold thinking is especially important, taking on such explosive issues as the configurationof academic disciplines, the runaway problem of big-time sports, the declineof the liberal arts, and the urgent problems of finances and costs.Keller expected this book to ignite discussion and controversy within academic circles,and he hoped fervently that it would also lead to real thinking, real analysis, andurgently needed transformation.George KellER was one of America’s leading scholars of higher education, a notedstrategic planner and consultant, and an award-winning writer and editor who workedas a faculty member, a college dean, and a presidential assistant.

The Business of SpeedThe Hot Rod Industry in America, 1915–1990David N. LucskoSince the mass production of Henry Ford’s Model T, carenthusiasts have been redesigning, rebuilding, and reengineeringtheir vehicles for increased speed and technical efficiency.They purchase aftermarket parts, reconstruct engines,and enhance body designs, all in an effort to personalize andimprove their vehicles. Why do these car enthusiasts modifytheir cars and where do they get their aftermarket parts?Here, David N. Lucsko provides the first scholarly historyof America’s hot rod business.Lucsko examines the evolution of performance tuningthrough the lens of the $34-billion speed equipment industrythat supports it. As early as 1910, dozens of small shopsacross the United States designed, manufactured, and soldadd-on parts to consumers eager to employ new technologiesas they tinkered with their cars. Operating for muchof the twentieth century in the shadow of the Big Threeautomobile manufacturers—General Motors, Ford, andChrysler—these businesses grew at an impressive rate, supplyingyoung and old hot rodders with thousands of performance-boostinggadgets.Lucsko offers a rich and heretofore untold account of theculture and technology of the high-performance automotiveaftermarket in the United States, offering a fresh perspectiveon the history of the automobile in America.“It is very well written, thoroughly researched, and documents animportant part of automotive history in the U.S. that hitherto hasreceived scant treatment from academic historians . . . The authorhas a strong understanding of the hot rod industry, its various industrialleaders, and is very comfortable writing about the technologiesthemselves.”—Larry D.

Shenotes the different ways in which these women embracedautomobile technology in their national and culturalcontext. As mechanics and taxi drivers—like AustralianAlice Anderson and Brit Sheila O’Neil—and long-distanceadventurers and political activists—like South AfricansMargaret Belcher and Ellen Budgell and American suffragistSara Bard Field—women sought to define the technologyin their own terms and according to their own needs. Theychallenged traditional notions of femininity through theirlove of cars and proved they were articulate, confident, andmechanically savvy motorists in their own right.More than new chapters in automobile history, these storieslocate women motorists within twentieth-century debatesabout class, gender, sexuality, race, and nation.Georgine ClARSEN is a senior lecturer in the School of Historyand Politics at the University of Wollongong.The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political ScienceJohns Hopkins Studies in the History of TechnologyMerritt Roe Smith, Series EditorNovember 384 pages 6.125 x 9¼ 25 halftones978-0-8018-8990-5 0-8018-8990-1 $50.00(s) / £27.00 hcHistory of TechnologyOctober 224 pages 6 x 9 16 halftones, 2 line drawings978-0-8018-8465-8 0-8018-8465-9 $50.00(s) / £27.00 hcHistory of Technology / Gender StudiesTHE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS www.press.jhu.edu 36

Scientists and SwindlersConsulting on Coal and Oil in America, 1820–1890Paul LucierIn this impressively researched and highly original work,Paul Lucier provides an authoritative account of how sciencebecame an integral part of American technology andindustry in the nineteenth century. Scientists and Swindlersintroduces us to a new service of professionals: the consultingscientists. Lucier follows these entrepreneurial men ofscience on their wide-ranging commercial engagementsfrom the shores of Nova Scotia to the coast of California andshows how their innovative work fueled the rapid growth ofthe American coal and oil industries and the rise of Americangeology and chemistry. Along the way, he explores thedecisive battles over expertise and authority, the high-stakescourt cases over patenting research, the intriguing and oftenhumorous exploits of swindlers, and the profound ethicalchallenges of doing science for money.Starting with the small surveying businesses of the 1830sand reaching to the origins of applied science in the 1880s,Lucier recounts the complex and curious relations thatevolved as geologists, chemists, capitalists, and politiciansworked to establish scientific research as a legitimate, regularlycompensated, and respected enterprise. This sweepingnarrative enriches our understanding of how the rocksbeneath our feet became invaluable resources for science,technology, and industry.Paul LucIER is a historian of science and technology specializingin the earth and environmental sciences and themining industries.

ConwayThis book offers an informed and revealing account ofNASA’s involvement in the scientific understanding of theEarth’s atmosphere.Since the nineteenth century, scientists have attempted tounderstand the complex processes of the Earth’s atmosphereand the weather created within it. This effort has evolvedwith the development of new technologies—from the firstinstrument-equipped weather balloons to multibillion-dollarmeteorological satellite and planetary science programs.Erik M. Conway chronicles the history of atmospheric scienceat NASA, tracing the story from its beginnings in 1958,the International Geophysical Year, through to the present,focusing on NASA’s programs and research in meteorology,stratospheric ozone depletion, and planetary climates andglobal warming. But the story is not only a scientific one.NASA’s researchers operated within an often politicallycontentious environment. Although environmental issuesgarnered strong public and political support in the 1970s,the following decades saw increased opposition to environmentalismas a threat to free market capitalism.Atmospheric Science at NASA critically examines this politicallycontroversial science, dissecting the often convolutedroles, motives, and relationships of the various institutionalactors involved.“The author does an excellent job of telling this story—translatingthe science into prose, characterizing the various personalities andinstitutions, organizing the convoluted tale into a narrative, and assessinginteractions of multifarious factors.”—Joseph N.

Hunting and Fishingin the New SouthBlack Labor and White Leisure after the Civil WarScott E. GiltnerThis innovative study re-examines the dynamics of race relationsin the post–Civil War South from an altogether freshperspective: field sports.In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, wealthywhite men from Southern cities and the industrial Northtraveled to the hunting and fishing lodges of the old Confederacy—escapingfrom the office to socialize among likemindedpeers. These sportsmen depended on local blackguides who knew the land and fishing holes and could ensurea successful outing. For whites, the ability to hunt andfish freely and employ black laborers became a conspicuousdisplay of their wealth and social standing.But hunting and fishing had been a way of life for all Southerners—blacksincluded—since colonial times. After the war,African Americans used their mastery of these sports to enterinto market activities normally denied people of color,thereby becoming more economically independent fromtheir white employers. Whites came to view black participationin hunting and fishing as a serious threat to the South’slabor system. Scott E. Giltner shows how African-Americanfreedom developed in this racially tense environment—howa black sense of competence and authority flourished in aJim Crow setting.Giltner’s thorough research in slave narratives, sportsmen’srecollections, records of fish and game clubs, and sportingperiodicals offers a unique perspective on the African-American struggle for independence from the end of theCivil War to the 1920s.Scott E.

JeffersonThis fascinating history showshow African-American militarymen and women seizedtheir dignity through barracksculture and community politicsduring and after WorldWar II.Drawing on oral testimony,unpublished correspondence,archival records, memoirs, anddiaries, Robert F. Jeffersonexplores the curious contradictionof war-effort idealismand entrenched discriminationthrough the experiences of the 93rd Infantry Division.Led by white officers and presumably unable to fight—and with the army taking great pains to regulate contactbetween black soldiers and local women—the division waslargely relegated to support roles during the advance on thePhilippines, seeing action only later in the war when U.S.officials found it unavoidable.Jefferson discusses racial policy within the War Department,examines the lives and morale of black GIs and their families,documents the debate over the deployment of black troops,and focuses on the ways in which the soldiers’ wartime experiencesreshaped their perspectives on race and citizenshipin America. He finds in these men and their families incredibleresilience in the face of racism at war and at home andshows how their hopes for the future provided a blueprintfor America’s postwar civil rights struggles.Integrating social history and civil rights movement studies,Fighting for Hope examines the ways in which politicalmeaning and identity were reflected in the aspirations ofthese black GIs and their role in transforming the face ofAmerica.Robert F.

Horse Trading in the Ageof CarsMen in the MarketplaceSteven M. GelberThe trading, selling, and buyingof personal transport haschanged little over the pastone hundred years. Whetherhorse trading in the earlytwentieth century or carbuying today, haggling overprices has been the commonpractice of buyers andsellers alike.Steven M. Gelber convincinglydemonstrates that thecombative and frequentlydishonest culture of theshowroom floor is a historicalartifact whose origins lie in the history of horse trading.Bartering and bargaining were the norm in this predominantlymale transaction, with both buyers and sellers stakingtheir reputations and pride on their ability to negotiate thebetter deal. Gelber comments on this point-of-sale behaviorand what it reveals about American men.Gelber’s highly readable and lively prose makes clear how thisunique economic ritual survived into the industrial twentiethcentury, in the process adding a colorful and interestingchapter to the history of the automobile.“Combines a sophisticated history of horse trading and car dealingwith a critical analysis of the way both worked. A sterling exampleof the ways in which culture and the human actors enmeshed in thatculture shape economic practice.”—Wendy Gamber, Indiana UniversityNoble BrutesHow Eastern Horses Transformed English CultureDonna Landry“His lordship’s Arabian,” a phrase often heard in eighteenthcenturyEngland, described a new kind of horse importedinto the British Isles from the Ottoman Empire and theBarbary States of North Africa. Noble Brutes traces how theintroduction of these Eastern blood horses transformed earlymodern culture and revolutionized England’s racing andequestrian tradition.More than two hundred Oriental horses were imported intothe British Isles between 1650 and 1750. With the horsescame Eastern ideas about horsemanship and the relationshipbetween horses and humans. Landry’s groundbreakingarchival research reveals how these Eastern imports profoundlyinfluenced riding and racing styles, as well as literatureand sporting art.After only a generation of crossbreeding on British soil, theEnglish Thoroughbred was born, and with it the gentlemanlyideal of free forward movement over a country as anenactment of English liberties.This radical reinterpretation of Ottoman and Arab influenceson horsemanship and breeding sheds new light onEnglish national identity, as illustrated in such classic worksas Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels and George Stubbs’s portraitof Whistlejacket.Donna Landry is a professor of English at the University ofKent and author of The Invention of the Countryside: Hunting,Walking, and Ecology in English Literature, 1671–1831 and TheMuses of Resistance: Laboring-Class Women’s Poetry in Britain,1739–1796.Animals, History, CultureHarriet Ritvo, Series EditorSteven M.

FerraroKnown to the west as “thenoble heathen,” the greatMuslim emperor Saladin ledArab forces in the reconquestof the Crusader kingdomsand captured Jerusalemin 1187. This concise historytraces Saladin’s role inthe contest between Islamand Christianity during thetwelfth century.“Saladin rex Aegypti”from a 15th century manuscriptTracing the Sultan’s life fromthe rise of the CrusaderStates through his triumphover the Franks to the ThirdCrusade, Möhring elucidatesthe emperor’s accomplishmentsin uniting the Arab lands of the Middle East, his enlightenedrelationship with European opponents, and theunique legacy of his rule in the Middle East and beyond.This faithful English-language translation also includes anintroduction that places Saladin in his geographic, political,and cultural context.“This book provides a lively introduction to Saladin, a medieval sultanwhose deeds and legend still loom large today. Utilizing both Muslimand Christian sources, Möhring describes a Saladin who was both aman of his times and a leader of remarkable qualities. Students willfind both the man and the legend well worth studying.”—Thomas F. Madden, author of Enrico Dandoloand the Rise of VeniceHannes MöHRINg is a historian of the Middle Ages and Orientalistscholar at the University of Bayreuth.This captivating history exposes a clandestine world of familyand community secrets—incest, abortion, and infanticide—inthe early modern Venetian republic.With the keen eye of a detective, Joanne M. Ferraro followsthe clues in individual cases and reconstructs each one as thecourts would have done according to the legal theory of theday. Lawmakers relied heavily on the depositions of familymembers, neighbors, and others in the community to establishthe veracity of the victims’ claims. Ferraro recounts thisoften colorful testimony, giving voice to the field workers,spinners, grocers, servants, concubines, midwives, physicians,and apothecaries who gave their evidence to the courts.Nefarious Crimes, Contested Justice also traces shifting attitudestoward illegitimacy and paternity from the late sixteenththrough the eighteenth centuries. Unmarried pregnantwomen were increasingly stigmatized for engaging in sex.Their claims for damages because of seduction or rape werelargely unproven, and the priests and laymen they were involvedwith were often acquitted of any wrongdoing. Thelack of institutional support for single motherhood and theexculpation of fathers frequently led to abortion, infantabandonment, or infant death.In uncovering these hidden sex crimes, Ferraro exposes thefurther abuse of women by both the men who perpetratedthese illegal acts and the courts that prosecuted them.“Ferraro opens up what has really been a hidden world . . . She reconstructseach case with often fascinating and disturbing detail. This isdone so well that one frequently feels as if one is hearing the voicesof the testimony and following the case as it was laid out in court.”—Guido Ruggiero, author of Machiavelli in Love: Sex, Self,and Society in the Italian RenaissanceJoanne M.

BurgessAchilles’ death—by an arrow shot through the vulnerableheel of the otherwise invincible mythic hero—was as wellknown in antiquity as the rest of the history of the TrojanWar. However, this important event was not described directlyin either of the great Homeric epics, the Iliad and theOdyssey. Noted classics scholar Jonathan S. Burgess traces thestory of Achilles as represented in other ancient sources inorder to offer a deeper understanding of the death and afterlifeof the celebrated Greek warrior.Through close readings of additional literary sources andanalysis of ancient artwork, such as vase paintings, Burgessuncovers rich accounts of Achilles’ death, as well as alternativeversions of his afterlife. Taking a Neoanalytical approach,Burgess is able to trace the influence of these parallel culturalsources on Homer’s composition of the Iliad.With his keen, original analysis of hitherto untapped literary,iconographical, and archaeological sources, Burgessadds greatly to our understanding of this archetypal tragichero.“Brilliant . . . shows a thorough understanding of Homeric poetryin the larger context of ancient epic traditions . . .

Asklepios, Medicine,and the Politics of Healingin Fifth-Century GreeceBetween Craft and CultBronwen L. WickkiserDelving deeply into ancient medical history, Bronwen L.Wickkiser explores the early development and later spreadof the cult of Asklepios, one of the most popular healinggods in the ancient Mediterranean. Though Asklepios hasbeen known as a healer since the time of Homer, evidencesuggests that large numbers of people began to flock to thecult during the fifth century BCE, just as practitioners ofHippocratic medicine were gaining dominance.Drawing on close readings of period medical texts, literarysources, archaeological evidence, and earlier studies, Wickkiserfinds two primary causes for the cult’s ascendance: it filleda gap in the market created by the refusal of Hippocraticphysicians to treat fatal and difficult chronic ailments and itabetted Athenian political needs. Wickkiser supports thesechallenging theories with side-by-side examinations of themedical practices at Asklepios’ sanctuaries and those espousedin Hippocratic medical treatises. She also exploreshow Athens’ aspirations of empire influenced its decisionto open the city to the healer-god’s cult.In focusing on the fifth century and by considering themedical, political, and religious dimensions of the cultof Asklepios, Wickkiser presents a complex, nuanced pictureof Asklepios’ rise in popularity, Athenian society, andancient Mediterranean culture. The intriguing and sometimessurprising information she presents will be valued byhistorians and classicists alike.“Wickkiser covers a huge amount of ground and provides the bestsynthesis of the current literature on the cult of Asklepios that hasbeen produced.”—Helen King, University of ReadingBronwen L.

Arranged chronologically, theentries include author, printer, place of publication, transcriptionof the title page, and location of original copies.Languages used in the books range from English, Spanish,and Latin to one example of an indigenous tongue.Burdick’s exhaustive research has unearthed numerous examplesof books not previously cataloged as mathematical.While it was thought that no mathematical writings inEnglish were printed in the Americas before 1703, Burdickgives scholars one of their first chances to discover JacobTaylor’s 1697 Tenebrae, a treatise on solving triangles andother figures using basic trigonometry. He also discussesAlonso de la Vera Cruz’s 1554 logic text, the RecognitioSummularum; a book on astrology by Enrico Martínez;books on the nature of comets by Carlos De Sigüenza yGóngora and Eusebio Francisco Kino; and a 1676 almanacby Feliciana Ruiz, the first woman to produce a mathematicalwork in the Americas.American readers of all nations and origins will note withinterest that many of these works, including all of the earliestones, are from Mexico, not from what is now the UnitedStates. But what their diverse authors had in common wasthat they were clever and well-trained colonial people whoused European mathematics to solve American problems.Bruce Stanley BurdicK is a professor of mathematics at RogerWilliams University.Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of MathematicsRonald Calinger, Series EditorOctober 160 pages 6 x 9 7 halftones, 3 line drawings978-0-8018-8978-3 0-8018-8978-2 $55.00(s) / £29.00 hcAncient Studies / History of MedicineJanuary 264 pages 6 x 9 29 halftones, 2 line drawings978-0-8018-8823-6 0-8018-8823-9 $55.00(s) / £29.00 hcHistory of MathematicsTHE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS 1-800-537-5487 43

LemonsPresenting classic thermodynamics as a concise and discretewhole, Mere Thermodynamics is a perfect tool for teaching anotoriously difficult subject.Don S. Lemons introduces the physical theory’s concepts andmethods and uses them to solve common physics problems,illustrating at a gentle pace advanced concepts such as therelationship between the second law of thermodynamics andentropy. He highlights the intellectual structure and historyof thermodynamics and explores the logical consequencesof each of the discipline’s three laws. Lemons explains andillustrates the first two laws of thermodynamics and theircorollaries; the methods and applications of thermodynamics;the third law; and the concepts of non-fluid variables,equilibrium and stability, and two-fluid systems.The book features end-of-chapter practice problems, an appendixof worked problems, a glossary of terms, and an annotatedbibliography.“Don Lemons’s Mere thermodynamics is a gem of physics pedagogy.Elegantly written and both physically and mathematically insightful,this book should be required reading for all courses on thermodynamics.”—Robert C. Hilborn, University of Texas at Dallas“With thoughtful craftsmanship, Lemons unfolds the essential elementsof thermodynamics in a manner that deepens our appreciation andunderstanding, not only for the physics, but also for the subject’shistory and philosophical inferences.”—Dwight E.

Adventures in Group TheoryRubik’s Cube, Merlin’s Machine, and Other Mathematical Toyssecond editionDavid JoynerDavid Joyner uses mathematical toys such as the Rubik’sCube to make abstract algebra and group theory fun.Joyner employs permutation puzzles such as the 15 puzzle,the Rainbow Masterball, the Pyraminx, the Skewb, theMegaminx, Merlin’s Machine, and variants of the Rubik’sCube to explain topics in introductory algebra (matrices,combinatorics, and permutations) and group theory (Cayleygraphs, symmetries, isomorphisms, wreath products, freegroups, and finite fields). Joyner also offers strategies forsolving the puzzles.The updated second edition uses SAGE, an open-sourcecomputer algebra system, to illustrate many of the computations.Adventures in Group Theory not only appeals to math enthusiastsbut also makes a wonderful supplementary textbook.Praise for the first edition:“Adventures in Group Theory is a tour through the algebra of several‘permutation puzzles’ . . . If you like puzzles, this is a somewhat funbook. If you like algebra, this is a fun book. If you like puzzles andalgebra, this is a really fun book.”—MAA Online“Joyner has collated all the Rubik lore and integrated it with a selfcontainedintroduction to group theory that equals or, more likely,exceeds what is available in typical dedicated elementary texts.”—Choice“Joyner does convey some of the excitement and adventure in pickingup knowledge of group theory by trying to understand Rubik’s Cube. Enthusiasticstudents will learn a lot of mathematics from this book.”—American ScientistWhat Is a Number?Mathematical Concepts and Their OriginsRobert TubbsMathematics often seems incomprehensible, a melee ofstrange symbols thrown down on a page. But while formulae,theorems, and proofs can involve highly complex concepts,the math becomes transparent when viewed as part of a biggerpicture. What Is a Number? provides that picture.Robert Tubbs examines how mathematical concepts likenumber, geometric truth, infinity, and proof have beenemployed by artists, theologians, philosophers, writers, andcosmologists from ancient times to the modern era. Lookingat a broad range of topics—from Pythagoras’s exploration ofthe connection between harmonious sounds and mathematicalratios to the understanding of time in both Western andpre-Columbian thought —Tubbs ties together seeminglydisparate ideas to demonstrate the relationship between thesometimes elusive thought of artists and philosophers andthe concrete logic of mathematicians. He complements histextual arguments with diagrams and illustrations.This historic and thematic study refutes the received wisdomthat mathematical concepts are esoteric and divorcedfrom other intellectual pursuits—revealing them instead asdynamic and intrinsic to almost every human endeavor.Robert Tubbs is an associate professor of mathematics at theUniversity of Colorado, Boulder, and the coauthor of MakingTranscendence Transparent: An Intuitive Approach to ClassicalTranscendental Number Theory.David JOYNER is a professor of mathematics at the U.S. NavalAcademy.

Women Writers and Old Agein Great Britain, 1750-1850Devoney LooserThis groundbreaking studyexplores the later lives andlate-life writings of morethan two dozen British womenauthors active during thelong eighteenth century.Drawing on biographical materials,literary texts, and receptionhistories, DevoneyLooser finds that far fromfading into moribund old age,female literary greats such asAnna Letitia Barbauld, FrancesBurney, Maria Edgeworth,Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Portertoiled for decades after they achieved acclaim.Though these remarkable women wrote and published wellinto old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessityof choosing among several different paths. These includedreceding into the background as authors of “classics,” adaptingto grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting toreshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or tryingto create entirely new categories for older women writers. Inassessing how these writers affected and were affected by theculture in which they lived, and in examining their variedreactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs carefulportraits of each of her subjects and explains why manyturned toward retrospection in their later works.In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognizedlegacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplacerevolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipatedbarriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opensup new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feministage studies.Devoney lOOSER is an associate professor of English at theUniversity of Missouri and the author of British WomenWriters and the Writing of History, 1670–1820, also publishedby Johns Hopkins.British Women Poets and theRomantic Writing CommunityStephen C. BehrendtThis compelling study recovers the lost lives and poemsof British women poets of the Romantic era. Stephen C.Behrendt reveals the range and diversity of their writings,offering new perspectives on the work of dozens of womenwhose poetry has long been ignored or marginalized intraditional literary history.British Romanticism was once thought of as a culturalmovement defined by a small group of male poets. Thisbook grants women poets their proper place in the literarytradition of the time. Behrendt first approaches the subjectthematically, exploring the ways in which the poems addressedboth public concerns and private experiences. Henext examines the use of particular genres, including thesonnet and various other long and short forms. In the concludingchapters, Behrendt explores the impact of nationalidentity, providing the first extensive study of Romantic-erapoetry by women from Scotland and Ireland.In recovering the lives and work of these women, Behrendtreveals their active participation within the rich culturalcommunity of writers and readers throughout the BritishIsles. This study will be a key resource for scholars, teachers,and students in British literary studies, women’s studies,and cultural history.“This is an essential contribution to our discipline by one of its majorscholars.

Perverse RomanticismAesthetics and Sexuality in Britain, 1750–1832Richard C. ShaRichard C. Sha’s revealing study considers how scienceshaped notions of sexuality, reproduction, and gender inthe Romantic period.Through careful and imaginative readings of various scientifictexts, the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and Longinus,and the works of such writers as William Blake, PercyBysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Lord Byron, Shaexplores the influence of contemporary aesthetics andbiology on literary Romanticism.Revealing that ideas of sexuality during the Romantic erawere much more fluid and undecided than they are oftencharacterized in the existing scholarship, Sha’s innovativestudy complicates received claims concerning the shiftfrom perversity to perversion in the nineteenth century. Heobserves that the questions of perversity—or purposelessness—becamesimultaneously critical in Kantian aesthetics,biological functionalism, and Romantic ideas of private andpublic sexuality. The Romantics, then, sought to reconceptualizesexual pleasure as deriving from mutuality rather thanfrom the biological purpose of reproduction.At the nexus of Kantian aesthetics, literary analysis, and thehistory of medicine, Perverse Romanticism makes an importantcontribution to the study of sexuality in the long eighteenthcentury.“Sha addresses the ways in which Romantic literature advocated purposelessnessin both aesthetics and sexual pleasure: art for art’s sakeand sex for the sake of sex. His analysis is original and insightful.”—Frederick Burwick, University of California at Los AngelesRichard C. Sha is an associate professor of literature at AmericanUniversity and author of The Visual and Verbal Sketch inBritish Romanticism.Domestic AffairsIntimacy, Eroticism, and Violence between Servants andMasters in Eighteenth-Century BritainKristina StraubFrom Daniel Defoe’s Family Instructor to William Godwin’spolitical novel Caleb Williams, literature written for and aboutservants tells a hitherto untold story about the developmentof sexual and gender ideologies in the early modern period.This original study explores the complicated relationshipsbetween domestic servants and their masters throughclose readings of such literary and nonliterary eighteenthcenturytexts.The early modern family was not biologically defined. Itincluded domestic servants who often had strong emotionaland intimate ties to their masters and mistresses. KristinaStraub argues that many modern assumptions about sexualityand gender identity have their roots in these affective relationshipsof the eighteenth-century family. By analyzing arange of popular and literary works—from plays and novelsto newspapers and conduct manuals—Straub uncovers theeconomic, social, and erotic dynamics that influenced thedevelopment of these modern identities and ideologies.Highlighting themes important in eighteenth-century studies—genderand sexuality; class, labor, and markets; familyrelationships; and violence—Straub explores how the commonaspects of human experience often intersected withinthe domestic sphere of master and servant. In examiningthe interpersonal relationships between the different classes,she offers new ways in which to understand sexuality andgender in the eighteenth century.Kristina STRAUB is a professor of literary and cultural studiesand associate dean of the College of Humanities and SocialSciences at Carnegie Mellon University.

The Hidden AdultDefining Children’s LiteraturePerry NodelmanWhat exactly is a children’s book? How is children’s literature defined as a genre? Aleading scholar presents close readings of six classic stories to answer these questionsand offer a clear definition of children’s writing as a distinct literary form.Perry Nodelman begins by considering the plots, themes, and structures of six works:“The Purple Jar,” Alice in Wonderland, Dr. Doolittle, Henry Huggins, The Snowy Day, andPlain City—all written for young people of varying ages in different times and places—toidentify shared characteristics. He identifies markers in each work that allowthe adult reader to understand it as a children’s story, shedding light on ingrainedadult assumptions and revealing the ways in which adult knowledge and experienceremain hidden in apparently simple and innocent texts.Nodelman then engages a wide range of views of children’s literature from authors,literary critics, cultural theorists, and specialists in education and information sciences.Through this informed dialogue, Nodelman develops a comprehensive theory of children’s literature, exploring itscommonalities and shared themes.The Hidden Adult is a focused and sophisticated analysis of children’s literature and a major contribution to the theoryand criticism of the genre.“Perry Nodelman is a leading scholar of children’s literature and The Hidden Adult is arguably his magnum opus.”—Beverly Lyon Clark, author of Kiddie Lit: The Cultural Construction of Children’s Literature in AmericaPerry NodelmAN is professor emeritus of English at the University ofWinnipeg and author of The Pleasure of Children’s Literature and WordsAbout Pictures: The Narrative Art of Children’s Picture Books.

Ethical Issuesin Rural Health Careedited by Craig M. Klugman and Pamela M. DalinisThis volume initiates a much-needed conversation aboutthe ethical and policy concerns facing health care providersin the rural United States. Although 21 percent of thepopulation lives in rural areas, only 11 percent of physicianspractice there. What challenges do health care workers facein remote locations? What are the differences between ruraland urban health care practices? What particular ethical issuesarise in treating residents of small communities? Craig M.Klugman and Pamela M. Dalinis gather philosophers, lawyers,physicians, nurses, and researchers to discuss these andother questions, offering a multidisciplinary overview ofrural health care in the United States.Rural practitioners often practice within small, tight-knitcommunities, socializing with their patients outside the examinationroom. The residents are more likely to have limitedfinances and lack health insurance. Physicians may haveinsufficient resources to treat their patients, who often haveto travel great distances just to see a doctor.The first part of the book analyzes the differences betweenrural and urban cultures and discusses the difficulties intreating patients in rural settings. The second part featuresthe personal narratives of rural health care providers, whoshare their experiences and insights. The last part introducesunique ethical challenges facing rural health care providersand proposes innovative solutions to those problems.This volume is a useful resource for bioethicists, membersof rural bioethics committees and networks, policy makers,teachers of health care providers, and rural practitionersthemselves.“This volume elucidates a wide range of ethical issues and the authorsprovide helpful strategies for practice and policy.”—Ruth B.

Kendler, M.D.,and Josef Parnas, M.D., Dr.Med.Sci.This multidisciplinary collection explores three key conceptsunderpinning psychiatry—explanation, phenomenology,and nosology—and their continuing relevance in an age ofneuroimaging and genetic analysis.An introduction by Kenneth S. Kendler lays out the philosophicalgrounding of psychiatric practice. The first sectionaddresses the concept of explanation, from the difficultiesin describing complex behavior to the categorization ofpsychological and biological causality. In the second section,contributors discuss experience, including the complex andvexing issue of how self-agency and free will affect mentalhealth. The third and final section examines the organizationaldifficulties in psychiatric nosology and the instabilityof the existing diagnostic system. Each chapter has both anintroduction by the editors and a concluding comment byanother of the book’s contributors.“Few books on psychiatry explore with seriousness and clarity the difficultproblems of explanation, scientific description, and causality.This one does. The introductions are like having an articulate and patientprofessor at your shoulder.

New Choices, New FamiliesHow Lesbians Decide about MotherhoodNancy J. MezeyHow do lesbians decide tobecome mothers or remainchildfree? Why do new familiesform at particular historicalmoments? These questionsare at the heart of Nancy J.Mezey’s New Choices, NewFamilies.Researchers, politicians, andsociety at large continue todebate the changing Americanfamily, especially nontraditionalfamilies that emerge fromdivorce, remarriage, grandparents-as-parents,and adoption.This ongoing discussion also engages the controversysurrounding the parental rights of same-sex couples andtheir families.New Choices, New Families enters into this conversation.Mezey asks why lesbians are forming families at this particularhistorical moment and wonders how race, class, sexualidentity, and family history factor into the decision-makingprocess. Drawing heavily from personal interviews, Mezey’sgroundbreaking analysis gives voice to groups long underrepresentedin similar studies—black, Latina, working class,and childfree lesbians. Some chapters examine how childhoodexperiences contribute to the desire to become amother, while others consider the influence of women’spartners and careers.New Choices, New Families provides thoughtful insights intoquestions about sexual identity, social and cultural expectations,and what and who constitute a family.“A multiracial feminist analysis of how lesbians make choices aboutmotherhood.

Kathleen M.Fallon discusses the role ofwomen and women’s advocacygroups in furthering thedemocratic transformation offormerly autocratic states.Using Ghana as a case study,Fallon examines the specificprocesses women are using tobring about political change.She assesses information gatheredfrom interviews and surveys and assays the existing literatureto provide a focused look at how women have becomeinvolved in the democratization of sub-Saharan nations.Fallon attributes these political advances to a combinationof forces, including the decline of the authoritarian stateand its attendant state-run women’s organizations, newlyformed constitutions, and newfound access to good-governancefunding. She draws the study into the larger debateover gendered networks and democratic reform by exploringhow gender roles affect and are affected by the state inAfrica, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.Democracy and the Rise of Women’s Movements in Sub-SaharanAfrica reveals how women’s social movements are challengingthe barriers created by colonization and dictatorshipsin Africa and beyond.“A well written, important contribution to the growing literature onwomen, gender, and democracy, as well as to African studies.”—Valentine M.

Latin America andGlobal CapitalismA Critical Globalization PerspectiveWilliam I. RobinsonThis ambitious volume chronicles and analyzes from acritical globalization perspective the social, economic, andpolitical changes sweeping across Latin America fromthe 1970s through the present day. Sociologist William I.Robinson summarizes his theory of globalization and discusseshow Latin America’s political economy has changedas the states integrate into the new global production andfinancial system, focusing specifically on the rise of nontraditionalagricultural exports, the explosion of maquiladoras,transnational tourism, and the export of labor and theimport of remittances. He follows with an overview of theclash among global capitalist forces, neoliberalism, and thenew left in Latin America, looking closely at the challengesand dilemmas resistance movements face and their prospectsfor success.Through three case studies—the struggles of the region’s indigenouspeoples, the immigrants rights movement in theUnited States, and the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela—Robinson documents and explains the causes of regionalsocio-political tensions, provides a theoretical framework forunderstanding the present turbulence, and suggests possibleoutcomes to the conflicts.Based on years of fieldwork and empirical research, thisstudy elucidates the tensions that globalization has createdand shows why Latin America is a battleground for thoseseeking to shape the twenty-first century’s world order.William I. ROBINSON is a professor of sociology, global studies,and Latin and Iberian studies at the University of California,Santa Barbara. He is the author of several books on globalization,including A Theory of Global Capitalism, also publishedby Johns Hopkins.Constructing DemocraticGovernance in Latin Americathird editionedited by Jorge I.

Plattner,and Diego Abente BrunAlmost thirty years have passed since Latin America joineddemocracy’s global “third wave,” and not a single governmenthas reverted to what was once the most common formof authoritarianism: military rule. Behind this laudable record,however, lurk problems that are numerous and deep,ranging from an ominous resurgence of antidemocratic andeconomically irresponsible populism to the fragility and unreliabilityof key democratic institutions.A new addition to the Journal of Democracy series, this volumeponders both the successes and the difficulties thatcolor Latin American politics today. In these essays, a distinguishedroster of contributors thoughtfully examinesdemocratic problems and prospects from the Rio Grandeto Tierra del Fuego.The first section assesses regionwide trends, including theforces behind the much-discussed political “turn to theleft,” the travails of the presidential form of government,the challenges of integrating newly mobilized indigenouspopulations into politics, the need for major reform in labormarkets, and the implications of rising populism fordemocratic institutions and governance. The second sectionfeatures important case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile,Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The final sectionsurveys Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.Contributors: Jorge G. Castañeda, Matthew R. Cleary, Catherine M.Conaghan, Javier Corrales, Consuelo Cruz, Lucía Dammert, DanielP.

PlattnerThis volume gathers essays by leading scholars and principalsof regional public-opinion surveys, known as “barometers,”which are making possible the first systematic, worldwidestudy of how citizens think about democracy and weigh itagainst other forms of government.Originally published in the Journal of Democracy, the essayscover topics from Arab opinion about democracy to the nostalgiafor authoritarianism found in East Asia. Other contributionsshed light on the rise of populism in Latin America,and explain why postcommunist regimes in Europe havewon broad public support. Additional chapters invite reflectionon the role of ordinary people in democratizationthrough the rise of “expressive” social values, and ask whetherpolitical or economic factors more decisively influencehow people evaluate democracy in their own countries.No serious student of democracy can afford to be withoutthis book. It offers an original and comprehensive view ofwhat citizens around the world think as democracy’s global“third wave” prepares to enter its fourth and perhaps mostchallenging decade.Contributors: Michael Bratton, Yu-tzung Chang, Yun-han Chu,Russell J.

Catastrophic ConsequencesCivil Wars and American InterestsSteven R. DavidCivil war and other typesof radical domestic upheavalare replacing waras the preeminent threatto American security andeconomic well being, accordingto Steven R. David.Catastrophic Consequences arguesthat civil conflicts areof even greater importancethan deliberate efforts toharm the United States orto undermine its interestsprecisely because they areunintended—and thereforeimpossible to deter.David examines the prospects for and potential aftereffectsof instability in four nations vital to U.S. national interests—Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, China, and Mexico. It is not, he argues,a rising China that threatens America, but one that isfalling apart. Likewise, it is not a hostile Pakistani regimeover which the United States should worry, rather it is onethat cannot keep the country together. Similarly, a conflicttornMexico or Saudi Arabia poses a far greater danger toAmerica than does either of those states growing stronger.In assessing these threats, David contends that the UnitedStates’s only viable option is to view other-state civil upheavalsimilarly to natural disasters and to develop a coherent,effective emergency response mechanism, which doesnot exist today in any systemic, nationwide form.“David’s analysis of the probable causes and potential consequencesof major unrest in four key countries is persuasive and sobering.”—Aaron Friedberg, Princeton UniversitySteven R. David is a professor of political science and vicedean for Centers and Programs at the Johns Hopkins University.He is the author of Choosing Sides: Alignment andRealignment in the Third World and Third World Coups d’Etatand International Security, both published by Johns Hopkins.In Pursuit of LiberalismInternational Institutions in Postcommunist EuropeRachel A. EpsteinThough the fall of the Soviet Union opened the way forstates in central and eastern Europe to join the world ofmarket-oriented Western democracies, the expected transitionshave not been as easy, common, or smooth as sometimesperceived. Rachel A. Epstein investigates how liberalideas and practices are embedded in transitioning societiesand finds that success or failure depends largely on creatinga social context in which incentives held out by internationalinstitutions are viewed as symbols of an emergingWestern identity in the affected country.Epstein first explains how a liberal worldview and institutionslike the European Union, World Bank, the InternationalMonetary Fund, and the North Atlantic TreatyOrganization go hand-in-hand and why Western nationsassume that a broad and incremental program of incentivesto join will encourage formerly authoritarian states to reformtheir political and economic systems. Using Hungary,Poland, Romania, and the Ukraine as case studies, she demonstratesthe limits of conditionality in the face of nationalsocial perceptions and elucidates the key points aroundwhich a consensus within the state must emerge before internationalinstitutions can expect liberalization.“Epstein’s study of the international influences on postcommunistchange spans the divide between political economy and securitystudies. It will be of great interest to students of both fields.”—Jeffrey Kopstein, University of Toronto“The transformation of Europe since the end of the Cold War oftenobscures the precise role played by international institutions anddomestic context. By focusing on Poland, Hungary, Romania, andUkraine, Epstein succeeds in providing a valuable theoretical andempirical contribution to the comparative and international politicalliterature. This is a book that must be read by all students of comparativeand international political economy.”—James A. Caporaso, University of WashingtonRachel A.

The Madisonian ConstitutionGeorge ThomasToday, we think of constitutionalquestions as being settledby the Supreme Court.But that is not always the case,nor is it what the framers intendedin constructing thethree-branch federal government.This volume examinesfour crucial moments in theUnited States’ political history—the Civil War and Reconstruction,the Progressive Era,Franklin Delano Roosevelt’spresidency and the New Deal,and the Reagan revolution—to illustrate the Madisonian view that the present rise ofjudicial supremacy actually runs counter to the Constitutionas established at the nation’s founding.George Thomas opens by discussing how the Constitutionencourages an antagonistic approach to settling disputes. Inconsidering the four historical case studies, he focuses onjudicial interpretations and the political branches’ responsesto them to demonstrate that competing conceptions ofconstitutional authority and meaning, as well as intergovernmentaldisputes themselves—rather than any specificoutcome—strengthen the nature of the nation’s foundingdocument as a political instrument.From Words to WorldsExploring Constitutional FunctionalityBeau BreslinIn the 225 years since the United States Constitution wasfirst drafted, no single book has addressed the key questionsof what constitutions are designed to do, how they are structured,and why they matter. In From Words to Worlds, constitutionalscholar Beau Breslin corrects this glaring oversight,singling out the essential functions that a modern, writtenconstitution must incorporate in order to serve as a nation’sfundamental law.Breslin lays out and explains the basic functions of a modernconstitution—including creating a new citizenry, structuringthe institutions of government, regulating conflictbetween layers and branches of government, and limitingthe power of the sovereign. He also moves into the esoteric,discussing the theoretical concepts behind the fundamentalsof written constitutions and examining in-depth someof the most important constitutional charters from aroundthe world. In assaying how states put the structural ideas intopractice, Breslin asks probing questions about why—and if—constitutions matter. His answer is a resounding yes.Solidly argued and engagingly written, this comparativestudy in constitutional thought demonstrates clearly thekey components that a state’s foundational document mustaddress. In doing so, Breslin draws a critically importantdistinction between constitutional texts and constitutionalpractice.This study clarifies and highlights the political origins of thenation’s foundational document and argues that Americanconstitutionalism is primarily about countervailing powernot legal limits enforced by courts.“Broadly theorized, confidently written, thoroughly researched, andcogent in its argumentation, The Madisonian Constitution may indeeddefine one approach to American constitutional studies for a generation.”—James R. Stoner Jr., Louisiana State UniversityGeorge ThomaS is an assistant professor of political scienceat Williams College.The Johns Hopkins Series in Constitutional ThoughtSanford Levinson and Jeffrey K. Tulis, Series Editors“From Words to Worlds displays Breslin at his best. It is comprehensiveand well reasoned, and it is thoroughly readable . . . While othershave thought about textualism primarily in the context of debatesabout interpretation, Breslin asks us to think about constitutions notsimply in relation to the way they are read by judges, but in terms oftheir larger political significance.”—Austin Sarat, Amherst CollegeBeau BreslIN is an associate professor of government anddirector of the First-Year Experience at Skidmore College.He is the author of The Communitarian Constitution, alsopublished by Johns Hopkins.The Johns Hopkins Series in Constitutional ThoughtSanford Levinson and Jeffrey K.

Reconsidering Woodrow WilsonProgressivism, Internationalism, War, and Peaceedited by John Milton Cooper Jr.Some of today’s premier experts on Woodrow Wilson contributeto this new collection of essays about the formerstatesman, portraying him as a complex, even paradoxicalpresident. Reconsidering Woodrow Wilson reveals a person whowas at once an international idealist, a structural reformer ofthe nation’s economy, and a policy maker who was simultaneouslyaccommodating, indifferent, resistant, and hostileto racial and gender reform.Wilson’s progressivism is discussed in chapters by biographerJohn Milton Cooper and historians Trygve Throntveitand Elliot Brownlee. Wilson’s philosophy about race andnation is taken up by Gary Gerstle, and his gender politicsdiscussed by Victoria Bissel Brown. The seeds of Wilsonianismare considered in chapters by Mark T. Gilderhus onWilson’s Latin American diplomacy and war; Geoffrey R.Stone on Wilson’s suppression of seditious speech; and LloydAmbrosius on entry into World War I. Emily S. Rosenbergand Frank Ninkovich explore the impact of Wilson’s internationalismon capitalism and diplomacy; Martin Walkersets out the echoes of Wilson’s themes in the cold war; andAnne-Marie Slaughter suggests how Wilson might view thepromotion of liberal democracy today.These essays were originally written for a celebration ofWilson’s 150th birthday sponsored by the official nationalmemorial to Wilson—the Woodrow Wilson InternationalCenter for Scholars—in collaboration with the WoodrowWilson House. That daylong symposium examined some ofthe most important and controversial areas of Wilson’s politicallife and presidency.John Milton Cooper JR. is the E.

QuirozAs Peru prosecutes formerpresident Alberto Fujimoriand other alleged participantsin state crimes, the country’slongstanding culture of impunityis under attack, andthe subject of corruption hasacquired a new prominence,both in Peru and in LatinAmerica more broadly.In Corrupt Circles, Alfonso W.Quiroz gives a definitive andthorough history of Peruviancorruption that dates back tothe country’s colonial period.He demonstrates how corruption has been deeply embeddedin Peru’s state institutions and has damaged the country’sprospects, and he offers a comprehensive estimate ofthe costs of corruption to the country’s development.Far from being a hidden crime, the author finds, corruptionis well documented throughout Peru’s history in therecords of its opponents in government, journalism, and diplomacy.The pervasiveness of corruption has been aided bythe readiness of both Peruvians and the international communityto turn a blind eye.“There is no other systematic assessment of corruption for such a longtime period for Peru or, to the best of my knowledge, any other LatinAmerican country.

Russian EurasianismAn Ideology of EmpireMarlène LaruelleSince the dissolution of theSoviet Union, Russia hasbeen marginalized at theedge of a Western-dominatedpolitical and economicsystem. In recent years, however,leading Russian figures,including former presidentVladimir Putin, have begunto stress a geopoliticsthat puts Russia at the centerof a number of axes:European-Asian, Christian-Muslim-Buddhist, Mediterranean-Indian,Slavic-Turkic,and so on.This volume examines the political presuppositions andexpanding intellectual impact of Eurasianism, a movementpromoting an ideology of Russian-Asian greatness, whichhas begun to take hold throughout Russia, Kazakhstan, andTurkey. Eurasianism purports to tell Russians what is unalterablyimportant about them and why it can only be expressedin an empire. Marlène Laruelle discusses the impactof the ideology of Eurasianism on geopolitics, interior policy,foreign policy, and culturalist philosophy.“This book is an impressive achievement—wide-ranging yet sensitiveto context and careful to bring together the many varieties of Eurasianismthat have emerged over the 20th century.”—Willard Sunderland, University of CincinnatiMarlène LaruellE is currently a research fellow at the CentralAsia and Caucasus Institute of the Paul H.

Rublewith Erin Trouth HofmannMigration, a force throughout the world, has special meaningsin the former Soviet lands. Soviet successor countries,each with strong ethnic associations, have pushed some racialgroups out and pulled others back home. Forcible relocationsof the Stalin era were reversed, and areas previously closed forsecurity reasons were opened to newcomers. These countriesrepresent a fascinating mix of the motivations and achievementsof migration in Russia and Central Asia.Migration, Homeland, and Belonging in Eurasia examines patternsof migration and sheds new light on governmentinterests, migrant motivations, historical precedents, andcommunity identities. The contributors come from a varietyof disciplines: political science, sociology, history, and geography.Initial chapters offer overall assessments of contemporarymigration debates in the region. Subsequent chaptersfeature individual case studies that highlight continuity andchange in migration debates in imperial and Soviet periods.Several chapters treat specific topics in Central Eurasia andthe Far East, such as the movement of ethnic Kazakhs fromMongolia to Kazakhstan and the continuing attractivenessto migrants of supposedly uneconomical cities in Siberia.“This is a highly relevant book for scholars, policy makers, and governmentinstitutions, offering a glimpse at the myriad cross-countryissues that emerge regarding the problems and opportunities associatedwith the movement of people across borders.”—Kathleen Kuehnast, United States Institute of PeaceCynthia BucklEY is an associate professor of sociology atthe University of Texas, Austin.

Tracing American ideasof Asian labor to the sugarplantations of the Caribbean,Moon-Ho Jung argues thatthe racial formation of “coolies”in American culture andlaw played a pivotal role inreconstructing concepts ofrace, nation, and citizenshipin the United States.“Brilliant and beautifully written . . .

IrwinEarly in the twentieth centurya new character typeemerged in the crime novelsof American writers suchas Dashiell Hammett andRaymond Chandler: the“hard-boiled” detective, mostfamously exemplified by SamSpade in The Maltese Falcon.Unlike the analytical detectivesof nineteenth-centuryfiction, such as Edgar AllanPoe’s Dupin, the new detectivesencountered cases not asintricate logical puzzles butas stark challenges to manhood.
