Solid State The Story of “Abbey Road” and the End of the Beatles Kenneth Womack Foreword by Al an Parsons

Acclaimed Beatles historian Kenneth Womack offers the most definitive account yet of the writing, recording, mixing, and reception of Abbey Road.

In February 1969, the Beatles began working on what became their final album together. Abbey Road introduced a number of new techniques and technologies to the Beatles’ sound, and included “Come Together,” “Something,” and “Here Comes the Sun,” which all emerged as classics.

Womack’s colorful retelling of how this landmark album was written and recorded is a treat for fans of the Beatles. Solid State takes readers back to 1969 and into EMI’s Abbey Road Studio, which boasted an advanced solid state transistor mixing desk.

Womack focuses on the dynamics between John, Paul, George, Ringo, and producer George Martin and his team of engineers, who set aside (for the most part) the tensions and conflicts that had arisen on previous albums to create a work with an innovative (and, among some fans and critics, controversial) studio-bound sound that prominently included the new Moog synthesizer, among other novelties.

As Womack shows, Abbey Road was the culmination of the instrumental skills, recording equipment, and artistic vision that the band and George Martin had developed since their early days in the same studio seven years earlier. A testament to the group’s creativity and their producer’s ingenuity, Solid State is required reading for all fans of the Beatles and the history of rock ’n’ roll.

K enneth Womack’s previous books about the Beatles include Long and Winding Roads and The Beatles Encyclopedia. He is also the author of the acclaimed two-volume biography of Sir George Martin, Maximum Volume and Sound Pictures. Womack is Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at Monmouth University, where he also serves as Professor of English.

“Impeccably researched, Solid State is an accurate history not only of the characters and personnel involved in the Beatles’ final album (including myself, I am pleased to add), but also digs deeper behind the scenes into the technical aspects of the recording equipment and the musical instruments used by the Fab Four in the production of this timeless LP. . . . You will become aware of many hitherto unknown facts about the making of Abbey Road and the events that led to the eventual demise of the greatest rock band that ever was.”— Alan Parsons, from the Foreword

The Last Card Inside George W. Bush’s Decision to Surge in Iraq edited by Timothy Andrews Sayle, Jeffrey A. Engel, Hal Brands, & William Inboden

This is the real story of how George W. Bush came to double-down on Iraq in the highest stakes gamble of his entire presidency.

Drawing on extensive interviews with nearly thirty senior officials, including President Bush himself, The Last Card offers an unprecedented look into the process by which President Bush overruled much of the military leadership and many of his trusted advisors, and authorized the deployment of roughly 30,000 additional troops to the warzone in a bid to save Iraq from collapse in 2007.

In The Last Card we have access to the deliberations among the decision-makers on Bush’s national security team as they embarked on that course and is a portrait of leadership—firm and daring if flawed—in the Bush White House.

The personal perspectives from men and women who served at the White House, Foggy Bottom, the Pentagon, and in Baghdad, are complemented by critical assessments written by leading scholars in the field of international security. Taken together, the candid interviews and probing essays are a first draft of the history of the surge and new chapter in the history of the American presidency.

Timothy Andrews Sayle is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.

Jeffrey A. Engel is Director of the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University.

“The Last Card provides an extraordinarily useful collective oral history of the decision-making leading to the ‘surge,’ and offers a set of incisive essays that critique and assess the decision and process that led to it.”

—Melvyn P. Leffler, University of Virginia, author of Safeguarding Democratic Capitalism “The Last Card is an exhaustively researched account of how President George W. Bush made the decision to conduct the Surge in Iraq. Readers will find this a gripping description of how the president made one of the toughest calls of his time in office.”—General David Petraeus, (US Army, Ret.), Commander of the Surge in Iraq , US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan

The Day After Why America Wins the War but Loses the Peace Brendan R. Gallagher

Since 9/11, why have we won smashing battlefield victories only to botch nearly everything that comes next? In the opening phases of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, we mopped the floor with our enemies. But in short order, things went horribly wrong.

We soon discovered we had no coherent plan to manage the “day after.” This helped set the stage for an extraordinary historical moment in which America’s role in the world, along with our commitment to democracy at home and abroad, have become subject to growing doubt. With the benefit of hindsight, can we discern what went wrong? Why have we had such great difficulty planning for the aftermath of war?

In The Day After, Brendan Gallagher—an Army lieutenant colonel with multiple combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, and a Princeton PhD—seeks to tackle this vital question. Gallagher argues there is a tension between our desire to create a new democracy and our competing desire to pull out as soon as possible. Our leaders often strive to accomplish both to keep everyone happy. But by avoiding the tough underlying decisions, it fosters an incoherent strategy. This makes chaos more likely.

The Day After draws on new interviews with dozens of civilian and military officials, ranging from US cabinet secretaries to four-star generals. Striking at the heart of what went wrong in our recent wars, and what we should do about it, Gallagher asks whether we will learn from our mistakes, or provoke even more disasters? Human lives, money, elections, and America’s place in the world hinges on the answer.

Brendan R. Gallagher is a US Army lieutenant colonel in the 75th Ranger Regiment with seven completed tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. He received the General George C. Marshall award as the top US graduate at the Army Command and General Staff College, and is currently a battalion commander. He holds a PhD in public and international affairs from Princeton.

Learn from history. His book is a good reference for heads of state, scholars, and soldiers.”—Lieutenant Colonel John Nagl, US Army (Ret.), author of Knife Fights “A thought-provoking, intensively-researched, and compelling account (and cautionary tale) of the enormous challenges of the ‘post-conflict’ phases of America’s major post-9/11 interventions—by a true soldier-scholar who served on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and then carefully studied those conflicts.”

—General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.) “The Day After is a searing indictment of American strategic incompetence. This book will make you angry—and it should.”— Gideon Rose, author of How Wars End ALSO OF INTEREST

The Nuclear Spies America’s Atomic Intelligence Operation against Hitler and Stalin Vince Houghton

Why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about the Soviet Union’s nuclear capabilities following World War II? As Vince Houghton, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, shows us, that disastrous failure came just a few years after the Manhattan Project’s intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich and knew every detail of the Nazi ‘s plan for an atomic bomb. What changed and what went wrong?

Houghton’s riveting retelling of this fascinating case of American spy ineffectiveness in the then new field of scientific intelligence provides us with a new look at the early years of the Cold War. During that time, scientific intelligence quickly grew to become a significant portion of the CIA budget as it struggled to contend with the incredible advance in weapons and other scientific discoveries immediately after World War II. As Houghton shows, the abilities of the Soviet Union’s scientists, its research facilities and laboratories, and its educational system became a key consideration for the CIA in assessing the threat level of its most potent foe. Sadly, for the CIA scientific intelligence was extremely difficult to do well. For when the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb in 1949, no one in the American intelligence services saw it coming.

Vince Houghton is Historian and Curator at the International Spy Museum. He taught courses in Cold War history and intelligence history at the University of Maryland and is the host and creative director of Spycast, the Spy Museum’s popular podcast. His work has been published widely in such media as Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Economist, Vanity Fair, and many others.

“The Nuclear Spies deftly navigates the decisions made, for better or worse, by World War II–era American intelligence agencies. This book [adds to our] understanding of scientific intelligence as a tool for national security.”—Valerie Plame, former covert CIA Operations Officer “Vince Houghton is clearly well versed in the history and the intelligence challenges about which he is writing, resulting in an illuminating and valuable book.”—Richard Immerman, Temple University, author of The Hidden Hand “The Nuclear Spies is a valuable contribution to the history of science and, in particular, the emergence of scientific intelligence as a national security tool. . . and is critical for our current and future scientific intelligence programs.”—John C. Browne, Los Alamos National Laboratory

Special Duty A History of the Japanese Intelligence Community Richard J. Samuels

The prewar history of the Japanese intelligence community demonstrates how having power over much, but insight into little can have devastating consequences. Its postwar history—one of limited Japanese power despite growing insight—has also been problematic for national security.

In Special Duty Richard J. Samuels dissects the fascinating history of the intelligence community in Japan. Looking at the impact of shifts in the strategic environment, technological change, and past failures, he probes the reasons why Japan has endured such a roller-coaster ride when it comes to intelligence gathering and analysis, and concludes that the ups and downs of the past century—combined with growing uncertainties in the regional security environment—have convinced Japanese leaders of the critical importance of striking balance between power and insight. Using examples of excessive hubris and debilitating bureaucratic competition before the Asia-Pacific War, the unavoidable dependence on US assets and popular sensitivity to security issues after World War II, and the tardy adoption of image-processing and cyber technologies, Samuels’ bold book highlights the century-long history of Japan’s struggles to develop a fully functioning and effective intelligence capability, and makes clear that Japanese leaders have begun to reinvent their nation’s intelligence community.

Richard J. Samuels is Ford International Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Free University of Berlin. His books have won prizes from the American Political Science Association, the Association for Asian Studies, and the Society for Italian Historical Studies.

His most recent book is 3.11: Disaster and Change in Japan. Follow him on Twitter @dicksamuelsMIT.

“This is a truly wonderful book written by a leading and highly respected scholar in the field of Japanese security and politics.

It offers much needed insight to academics and policymakers alike as they seek to understand the changes in Japan’s security choices.”

—Sheila Smith, Council on Foreign Relations, author of Intimate Rivals “Special Duty is a timely book, and a suitable next installment in Richard Samuels’ influential oeuvre on modern Japanese security policy.”

—Michael Green, Georgetown University, author of Arming Japan “This book is a masterpiece that incisively analyzes the Japanese intelligence community and its activities. I learned a lot from this book. I think that Japan wants to overcome the various problems facing its intelligence and become a part of the Five Eyes as soon as possible.”

The Kosher Capones A History of Chicago’s Jewish Gangsters Joe Kraus

The Kosher Capones tells the fascinating story of Chicago’s Jewish gangsters from Prohibition into the 1980s. Author Joe Kraus traces these gangsters through the lives, criminal careers, and conflicts of Benjamin “Zuckie the Bookie” Zuckerman, last of the independent West Side Jewish bosses, and Lenny Patrick, eventual head of the Syndicate’s “Jewish wing.”

These two men linked the early Jewish gangsters of the neighborhoods of Maxwell Street and Lawndale to the notorious Chicago Outfit that emerged from Al Capone’s criminal confederation. Focusing on the murder of Zuckerman by Patrick, Kraus introduces us to the different models of organized crime they represented, a raft of largely forgotten Jewish gangsters, and the changing nature of Chicago’s political corruption. Hard-tobelieve anecdotes of corrupt politicians, seasoned killers, and in-over-their-heads criminal operators spotlight the magnitude and importance of Jewish gangsters to the story of Windy City mob rule.

With an eye for the dramatic, The Kosher Capones takes us deep inside a hidden society and offers glimpses of the men who ran the Jewish criminal community in Chicago for more than sixty years.

“An engaging story about the history of Jewish gangsters in Chicago.”—Elizabeth Dale, University of Florida, author of The Chicago Trunk Murder

The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener’s Companion Essential Writings Libert y Hyde Bailey edited by John A. Stempien & John Linstrom

“Every family can have a garden.”—Liberty Hyde Bailey Finally, the best and most accessible garden writings of perhaps the most influential literary gardener of the twentieth century have been brought together in one book. Philosopher, poet, naturist, educator, agrarian, scientist, and garden lover par excellence Liberty Hyde Bailey built a reputation as the Father of Modern Horticulture and evangelist for what he called the “garden-sentiment”—the desire to raise plants from the good earth for the sheer joy of it and for the love of the plants themselves. Bailey’s perennial call to all of us to get outside and get our hands dirty, old or young, green thumb or no, is just as fresh and stirring today as then.

Full of timeless wit and grace, The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener’s Companion collects essays and poems from Bailey’s many books on gardening, as well as from newspapers and magazines from the era. Whether you’ve been gardening for decades or are searching for your first inspiration, Bailey’s words will make an ideal companion on your journey.

Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858–1954) grew up on a farm in Michigan and went on to become Dean of the College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Chair of the Country Life Commission under President Theodore Roosevelt, and the “Father of Modern Horticulture.” He authored more than seventy books, published thousands of articles, and founded countless organizations.

John Stempien teaches history in Lowell, Michigan, and served as the first director of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum from 2006–2012.

John Linstrom is a writer and doctoral candidate in English.

He edited the centennial edition of Bailey’s The Holy Earth.

His affection is contagious, at once enthusiastic and practical, a powerful, lovely tool to help rekindle connections to the world that feeds us body and soul.”— Amy Halloran, author of The New Bread Basket “In lyrical poetry and prose, Bailey, the ‘Father of Modern Horticulture,’ takes us through the cycles of nature, from the blossoms of his beloved apple trees in the spring, to the ripening of gourds in the fall, to the snow falling on the greenhouse in winter. We marvel as his enticing prose illuminates the holiness of the earth and of the growing things nearest at hand.”— Mary Swander, Poet Laureate of Iowa, author of Farmscape

One Hundred Autobiographies A Memoir David Lehman

In One Hundred Autobiographies, poet and scholar David Lehman applies the full measure of his intellectual powers to cope with a frightening diagnosis and painful treatment for cancer. No matter how debilitating the medical procedures, Lehman wrote every day during chemotherapy and in the aftermath of radical surgery. With characteristic riffs of wit and imagination, he transmutes the details of his inner life into a prose narrative rich in incident and mental travel. The reader journeys with him from the first dreadful symptoms to the sunny days of recovery.

This “fake memoir,” as he refers ironically to it, features one-hundred short vignettes that tell a life story. One Hundred Autobiographies is packed with insights and epiphanies that may prove as indispensable to aspiring writers as Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet.

Set against the backdrop of Manhattan, Lehman summons John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Edward Said, and Lionel Trilling among his mentors. Dostoyevsky shows up, as does Graham Greene. Keith Richards and Patti Hansen put in an appearance, Edith Piaf sings, Clint Eastwood saves the neighborhood, and the Rat Pack comes along for the ride. These and other avatars of popular culture help Lehman to make sense of his own mortality and life story.

One Hundred Autobiographies reveals a stunning portrait of a mind against the ropes, facing its own extinction, surviving and enduring.

David Lehman, a contributing editor of The American Scholar, has served as quizmaster of “Next Line, Please” since the journal launched the digital feature in May 2014. His books include Playlist, Poems in the Manner of . . . , and Sinatra’s Century.

Metropolitan Fetish African Sculpture and the Imperial French Invention of Primitive Art John Warne Monroe

From the 1880s to 1940, French colonial officials, businessmen and soldiers, returning from overseas postings, brought home wooden masks and figures from Africa. This imperial and cultural power-play is the jumping-off point for a story that travels from sub-Saharan Africa to Parisian art galleries; from the pages of fashion magazines, through the doors of the Louvre, to world fairs and international auction rooms; into the apartments of avant-garde critics and poets; to the streets of Harlem, and then full-circle back to colonial museums and schools in Dakar, Bamako, and Abidjan.

John Warne Monroe guides us on this journey, one that goes far beyond the world of Picasso, Matisse, and Braque, to show how the Modernist avant-garde and the European colonial project influenced each other in profound and unexpected ways.

Metropolitan Fetish reveals the complex trajectory of African material culture in the West and provides a map of that passage, tracing the interaction of cultural and imperial power. A broad and far-reaching history of the French reception of African art, it brings to life an era in which the aesthetic category of “primitive art” was invented.

John Warne Monroe is Associate Professor of History at Iowa State University. He is the author of Laboratories of Faith.

“While traditional African art continues to capture new audiences, John Monroe tells the fascinating story of how it all began.

We meet the avant-garde visionaries who looked beyond the ethnographic, re-classifying African material culture as ‘Art.’ A book full of historical pioneers you will want to get to know.”

—Bruno Claessens, European Director of African Art, Christie’s “This is a profoundly important book. Elegantly written and lavishly illustrated, Metropolitan Fetish will establish itself as a landmark in the history of the reception of African art in the West.”

The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet Jeff Kosseff

“No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

Did you know that these twenty-six words are responsible for much of America’s multibillion-dollar online industry? What we can and cannot write, say, and do online is based on just one law—a law that protects online services from lawsuits based on user content. Jeff Kosseff exposes the workings of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which has lived mostly in the shadows since its enshrinement in 1996. Because many segments of American society now exist largely online, Kosseff argues that we need to understand and pay attention to what Section 230 really means and how it affects what we like, share, and comment upon every day.

The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet tells the story of the institutions that flourished as a result of this powerful statute. It introduces us to those who created the law, those who advocated for it, and those involved in some of the most prominent cases decided under the law. Kosseff assesses the law that has facilitated freedom of online speech, trolling, and much more.

His keen eye for the law, combined with his background as an award-winning journalist, demystifies a statute that affects all our lives—for good and for ill. While Section 230 may be imperfect and in need of refinement, Kosseff maintains that it is necessary to foster free speech and innovation.

Jeff Kosseff is an Assistant Professor in the United States Naval Academy’s Cyber Science department, where he teaches cybersecurity law. He has practiced technology and First Amendment law, and clerked for Judges Milian D. Smith, Jr. of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and Leonie M. Brinkema of the US District Court for the Eastern District Court of Virginia. He was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting and the recipient of the George Polk Award in National Reporting.

America the Fair Using Brain Science to Create a More Just Nation Dan Meegan

What makes a person liberal or conservative? Why does the Democratic Party scare off so many possible supporters? When does our “injustice trigger” get pulled, and how can fairness overcome our human need to look for a zero-sum outcome to our political battles?

Tapping into a pop culture zeitgeist linking Bugs Bunny, Taylor Swift, and John Belushi; through popular science and the human brain; to our political predilections, arguments, and distrusts, Daniel Meegan suggests that fairness and equality are key elements missing in today’s society. Having crossed the border to take up residency in Canada, Meegan, an American citizen, has seen first-hand how people enjoy as rights what Americans view as privileges. Fascinated with this tension, he suggests that American liberals are just missing the point. If progressives want to win the vote, they need to change strategy completely and champion government benefits for everyone, not just those of lower income. If everyone has access to inexpensive quality health care, open and extensive parental leave, and free postsecondary education, then everyone will be happier and society will be fair. The Left will also overcome an argument of the Right that successfully, though incongruously, appeals to the middle- and upper-middle classes: that policies that help the economically disadvantaged are inherently bad for others.

Making society fair and equal, Meegan argues, would strengthen the moral and political position of the Democratic Party and place it in a position to revive American civic life. Fairness, he writes, should be selfishly enjoyed by everyone.

“There’s really a lot to like about America the Fair. It explains psychological constructs and their bearing on policy debate and ideological conflict, drawing engagingly on popular culture. Meegan reveals ground common to both conservatives and liberals, proposing a value frame for the greatest number of voters: fairness.”

—Chris Weber, University of Arizona “America the Fair makes a compelling case that equity-based programs for the middle class are the best way to help those in need. Every American who cares about the future of our country should read this book.”

From Willard Straight to Wall Street A Memoir Thomas W. Jones

In stark and compelling prose, Thomas W. Jones tells his story as a campus revolutionary who led an armed revolt at Cornell University in 1969 and then altered his course over the next fifty years to become a powerful leader in the financial industry including high-level positions at John Hancock, TIAA-CREF and Citigroup as Wall Street plunged into its darkest hour.

From Willard Straight to Wall Street provides a front row seat to the author’s triumphs and struggles as he was twice investigated by the SEC—and emerged unscathed. His searing perspective as an African American navigating a world dominated by whites reveals a father, a husband, a trusted colleague, a Cornellian, and a business leader who confronts life with an unwavering resolve that defies cliché and offers a unique perspective on the issues of race in America today.

The book begins on the steps of Willard Straight Hall where Jones and his classmates staged an occupation for two days that demanded a black studies curriculum at Cornell. The Straight Takeover resulted in the resignation of Cornell President James Perkins with whom Jones reconciled years later.

Jones witnessed the destruction of the World Trade Centers on 9/11 from his office at ground zero and then observed firsthand the wave of scandals that swept the banking industry over the next decade.

From Willard Straight to Wall Street reveals one of the most interesting American stories of the last fifty years.

Thomas W. Jones is founder and senior partner of venture capital investment firm TWJ Capital. He previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Global Investment Management at Citigroup; Vice Chairman, President, and Chief Operating Officer at TIAA-CREF; and Senior Vice-President and Treasurer at John Hancock Insurance Company. Jones received Masters degrees from Cornell University and Boston University, and holds honorary doctoral degrees from Howard University, Pepperdine University, and College of New Rochelle.

Jones tells his quintessentially American story with passion and conviction, and with a mixture of pride and regret. For a country still grappling with racial issues fifty years later, this is a seminal account of a life of dramatic action and religiously inspired thought.”—Hunter R.

Hope and History A Memoir of Tumultuous Times William J. vanden Heuvel foreword by Dougl as Brinkley

The understanding and openness of an American Ambassador

Hope and History is both a memoir and a call-to-action for the renewal of faith in democracy and America. US Ambassador William J. vanden Heuvel presents his most important public speeches and writings, compiled and presented over eight decades of adventure and public service, woven together with anecdotes of his colorful life as a second-generation American, a soldier, a lawyer, a political activist, and a diplomat. He touches upon themes that resonate as much today as they did when he first encountered them: the impact of heroes and mentors; the tragedy of the Vietnam War; the problems of racism and desegregation in America; tackling the crisis in America’s prisons; America and the Holocaust; and the plight and promise of the United Nations. Along the way, he allows us to share his journey with some of the great characters of American history: Eleanor Roosevelt, William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan, President John F. Kennedy and RFK, Harry S. Truman, and Jimmy Carter.

Throughout, vanden Heuvel persuades us that there is still room for optimism in public life. He shows how individuals, himself among them, have tackled some of America’s most intractable domestic and foreign policy issues with ingenuity and goodwill, particularly under the leadership of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and those who sought and still seek to follow in his footsteps. He is not afraid to challenge the hatred and bigotry that are an unfortunate but undeniable part of the American fabric. He exhorts us to embrace all the challenges and opportunities that life in the United States can offer.

William J. vanden Heuvel served as Deputy US Permanent Representative to the United Nations. A former president of the International Rescue Committee, he was Executive Assistant to General William J. Donovan, Special Counsel to Governor Averell Harriman, and Assistant to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. He is the founder of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute. Ambassador vanden Heuvel is an international attorney and investment banker.

No Longer Newsworthy How the Mainstream Media Abandoned the Working Class Christopher R. Martin

NO LONGER NEWSWORTHY Until the recent political shift pushed workers back into the media spotlight, the mainstream media had largely ignored this significant part of American society in favor of the moneyed “upscale” consumer for more than four decades. Christopher R. Martin now reveals why and how the media lost sight of the American working class and the effects of it doing so.

The damning indictment of the mainstream media that flows through No Longer Newsworthy is a wakeup call about the critical role of the media in telling news stories about labor unions, workers, and working-class readers. As Martin charts the decline of labor reporting from the late 1960s onwards, he reveals the shift in news coverage as the mainstream media abandoned labor in favor of consumer and business interests. When newspapers, especially, wrote off working-class readers as useless for their business model, the American worker became invisible. In No Longer Newsworthy, Martin covers this shift in focus, the loss of political voice for the working class, and the emergence of a more conservative media in the form of Christian television, talk radio, Fox News, and conservative websites.

Now, with our fractured society and news media, Martin offers the mainstream media recommendations for how to push back against right-wing media and once again embrace the working class as critical to its audience and its democratic function.

Earth Emotions New Words for a New World Glenn A. Albrecht

As climate change and development pressures overwhelm the environment, our emotional relationships with Earth are also in crisis. Pessimism and distress are overwhelming people the world over. In this maelstrom of emotion, solastalgia, the homesickness you have when you are still at home,” has become, writes Glenn A. Albrecht, one of the defining emotions of the twenty-first century.

Earth Emotions examines into our positive and negative Earth emotions. It explains the author’s concept of solastalgia and other well-known eco-emotions such as biophilia and topophilia. Albrecht introduces us to the many new words needed to describe the full range of our emotional responses to the emergent state of the world. We need this creation of a hopeful vocabulary of positive emotions, argues Albrecht, so that we can extract ourselves out of environmental desolation and reignite our millennia-old biophilia—love of life—for our home planet. To do so, he proposes a dramatic change from the current human-dominated Anthropocene era to one that will be founded, materially, ethically, politically, and spiritually on the revolution in thinking being delivered by contemporary symbiotic science. Albrecht names this period the Symbiocene.

With the current and coming generations, “Generation Symbiocene,” Albrecht sees reason for optimism. The battle between the forces of destruction and the forces of creation will be won by Generation Symbiocene, and Earth Emotions presents an ethical and emotional odyssey.

Glenn A. Albrecht is an Australian environmental thinker.

He established the now widely used and accepted concept of solastalgia, or the lived experience of negative environmental change. He is an Honorary Associate in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney.

“Albrecht offers a framework within which to understand and acknowledge the dissociation of humans from the living world. With a new language and means of expression, a wider array of stories from diverse voices can hopefully be heard.”—The Independent “Earth Emotions is thorough, composed, and historically illusionary. Grounded and powerful in its message, this book helps explain in an accessible way the history of Earth emotion neologisms and the relationships of land and psyche.”

—Nick Stanger, Huxley College of the Environment, Washington University “Glenn A. Albrecht has written a superb book, one that is hugely novel, insightful, and rewarding. Everything in this book matters.”

A Fiery Gospel The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the Road to Righteous War Richard M. Gamble

Since its composition in Washington’s Willard Hotel in 1861, Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic” has been used to make America and its wars sacred. Few Americans reflect on its violent and redemptive imagery, drawn freely from prophetic passages of the Old and New Testaments, and fewer still think about the implications of that apocalyptic language for how Americans interpret who they are and what they owe the world.

In A Fiery Gospel, Richard M. Gamble describes how this camp-meeting tune, paired with Howe’s evocative lyrics, became one of the most effective instruments of religious nationalism.

He takes the reader back to the song’s origins during the Civil War, and reveals how those political and military circumstances launched the song’s incredible career in American public life.

Gamble deftly considers the idea behind the song—humming the tune, reading the music for us—all while reveling in the multiplicity of meanings of and uses to which Howe’s lyrics have been put. “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” has been versatile enough to match the needs of Civil Rights activists and conservative nationalists, war hawks and peaceniks, as well as Europeans and Americans. This varied career shows readers much about the shifting shape of American righteousness.

Yet it is, argues Gamble, the creator of the song herself—her Abolitionist household, Unitarian theology, and Romantic and nationalist sensibilities—that is the true conductor of this most American of war songs.

A Fiery Gospel depicts most vividly the surprising genealogy of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and its sure and certain position as a cultural piece in the uncertain amalgam that was and is American civil religion.

Richard M. Gamble is the Anna Margaret Ross Alexander Chair of History and Politics at Hillsdale College. He is author of In Search of the City on a Hill and The War for Righteousness.

Reptiles of Costa Rica A Field Guide Twan Leenders

Reptiles of Costa Rica, the long-awaited companion to Amphibians of Costa Rica, is the first ever comprehensive field guide to the crocodilians, turtles, lizards, and snakes of Costa Rica. A popular destination for tourists and biologists because of its biodiversity, the country is particularly rich in reptile fauna, boasting 245 species. The sheer diversity in shapes, sizes, colors, and natural history traits of these animals is beautifully displayed in this book. Lizards range from minuscule dwarf geckos to dinosaur-like iguanids, and everything in between, while the country’s snakes include tiny eyeless wormsnakes, massive boas, as well as twenty-three dangerously venomous species, which include the largest vipers in the world.

Author, photographer, and conservation biologist Twan Leenders has been researching and documenting the herpetofauna of Costa Rica for nearly twenty-five years. His explorations have taken him to remote parts of Costa Rica that few people ever visit, journeys that usually find him hauling an array of photographic equipment to document his finds. In addition to including more than 1,000 photographs, detailed black and white scientific illustrations, and range maps, this book also features paintings of anole dewlaps, a key identification feature for that very complex group of lizards. This new field guide will enable the reader to identify all species, while also providing a wealth of information about natural history, predation, breeding strategies, habitat preferences, and conservation of Costa Rica’s reptile fauna.

Small Arms Children and Terrorism Mia Bloom with John Horgan

Why do terrorist organizations use children to support their cause and carry out their activities? Small Arms uncovers the brutal truth behind the mobilization of children by terrorist groups.

Mia Bloom and John Horgan show us the grim underbelly of society that allows and even encourages the use of children to conduct terrorist activities. They provide readers with the who, what, when, why, and how of this increasingly concerning situation, illuminating a phenomenon that to most of us seems abhorrent. And yet, they argue, for terrorist groups the use of children carries many benefits. Children possess skills that adults lack. They often bring innovation and creativity. Children are, in fact, a superb demographic from which to recruit if you are a terrorist.

Small Arms answers questions about recruitment strategies and tactics, determines what makes a child terrorist and what makes him or her different from an adult one, and charts the ways in which organizations use them. The unconventional focus on child and youth militants allows the authors to, in essence, give us a biography of the child terrorist and the organizations that use them. We are taken inside the mind of the adult and the child to witness that which perhaps most scares us.

Mia Bloom is Professor of Communication at Georgia State University. She is author of several books, including, most recently, Bombshell.

John G. Horgan is Distinguished University Professor in the Global Studies Institute at Georgia State University. He is author of numerous books, including, most recently, The Psychology of Terrorism.

“Drawing on a wide body of case studies, the authors examine the many ways child soldiers are drawn into their roles—which, in the end, usually turn out to be as cannon fodder. . . . Of interest to military planners as well as workers in the humanitarian aid/NGO sphere.”—Kirkus Reviews “Small Arms is a timely book on a critical and long-neglected subject. Mia Bloom and John Horgan’s multidisciplinary approach, comprehensive research, and impressive field work paint a compelling picture of the indoctrination and exploitation of children by terrorists worldwide and sheds new light on this odious and, sadly, increasingly prevalent phenomenon.”

Thomas Cole’s Refrain The Paintings of Catskill Creek H. Daniel Peck

Thomas Cole, an internationally renowned artist, centered his art and life in Catskill, New York. From his vantage point near the village, he cast his eyes on the wonders of the Catskill Mountains and the swiftly flowing Catskill Creek. These landscapes were sources of enduring inspiration for him.

Over twenty years, Cole painted one view of the Catskill Mountains at least ten times. Each work represents the mountains from the perspective of a wide river bend near Catskill, New York.

No other scene commanded this much of the artist’s attention.

Cole’s Catskill Creek paintings, which include works central to American nineteenth-century landscape art, are an integral series.

In Thomas Cole’s Refrain, H. Daniel Peck explores the patterns of change and permanence in the artist’s depiction of a scene he knew first-hand. Peck shows how the paintings express the artist’s deep attachment to place and region while illuminating his expansive imagination.

Thomas Cole’s Refrain shows how Cole’s Catskill Creek paintings, while reflecting concepts such as the stages of life, opened a more capacious vision of experience than his narrative-driven series, such as The Voyage of Life. Relying on rich visual evidence provided by paintings, topographic maps, and contemporary photographs, Peck argues that human experience is conveyed through Cole’s embedding into a stable, recurring landscape key motifs that tell stories of their own. The motifs include enigmatic human figures, mysterious architectural forms, and particular trees and plants. Peck finds significant continuities—personal and conceptual—running throughout the Catskill Creek paintings, continuities that cast new light on familiar works and bring significance to ones never before seen by many viewers.

H. Daniel Peck is John Guy Vassar, Jr., Professor Emeritus of English at Vassar College. He is the author and editor of several books, including Thoreau’s Morning Work.

Wounds of War How the VA Delivers Health, Healing, and Hope to the Nation’s Veterans Suzanne Gordon

US military conflicts abroad have left nine million Americans dependent on the Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA) for medical care. Their “wounds of war” are treated by the largest hospital system in the country—one that has come under fire from critics in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and in the nation’s media. The resulting public debate about the future of veterans’ health care has pitted VHA patients and their care-givers against politicians and policy-makers who believe that former military personnel would be better served by private health care providers.

This high stakes controversy led Suzanne Gordon, award-winning health care journalist and author, to seek insight from veterans and their families, VHA staff and administrators, advocates for veterans, and proponents of privatization. Gordon spent five years closely observing the VHA’s treatment of patients suffering from service-related injuries.

In Wounds of War, Gordon describes how the VHA—tasked with a challenging patient population—does a better job than private-sector institutions offering primary and geriatric care, mental health and home-care services, and support for patients nearing the end of life. The VHA, Gordon argues, is an integrated health-care system worthy of wider emulation, rather than piece-meal dismantling for the benefit of private contractors.

In the unusual culture of solidarity between patients and providers that the VHA has fostered, the author finds a working model for higher quality health care and a much-needed alternative to the practice of for-profit medicine.

Suzanne Gordon has written, edited, or co-authored twenty books, including First Do No Harm. Gordon’s articles have appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Boston Globe. She has been a commentator for CBS Radio and NPR’s Marketplace.

“Important and timely.”—CounterPunch “For better or worse, the course of VA health care now depends on a citizenry and health policy community that possesses little firsthand experience with its services or achievements. Wounds of War is a tremendous starting point for those interested in understanding the importance of getting these decisions right.”—Washington Monthly “Wounds of War is a significant contribution. It intersperses ‘boots on the ground’ stories from providers, volunteers, family members, and veterans receiving care— and enhances typically dry data about all aspects of VA care. I have never read something that so wonderfully ties it all together. It’s a true work of art.”

BIOGRAPHY

THREE HILL S

Elizabeth Seton American Saint Catherine O’Donnell

In 1975, Pope Paul VI canonized Elizabeth Ann Seton, making her the first native-born American saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Seton came of age in Manhattan as the city and her family struggled to rebuild themselves post-Revolution, explored philosophy and Christianity, converted to Catholicism from her Episcopalian faith, and built the St. Joseph’s Academy and Free School in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Hers was an early American life of struggle and faith, and in this flowing biography, Catherine O’Donnell gives Seton her due.

O’Donnell places Seton in the context of the American and French Revolutions and their aftermath. Just as Seton’s life was studded with hardship, achievement, and grief, so were the social, economic, political, and religious scenes of the Early American Republic. O’Donnell illuminates this remarkable woman’s intelligence and compassion as she withstood her husband’s financial failures and untimely death, undertook conversion to Catholicism, and attempted to reconcile her single-minded faith with her respect for others’ choices. The fruit of her labors were the creation of a spirituality that embraced human connections and the American Sisters of Charity, an enduring global community with an apostolate for teaching.

O’Donnell weaves together troves of correspondence, journals, and reflections throughout Elizabeth Seton, enriching our understanding of women’s friendships and choices and upending conventional wisdom about the ways Americans of different faiths competed and collaborated during the nation’s earliest years. Through her reading of Seton’s letters and journals, O’Donnell reveals Seton the person and how she came to understand herself as Mother Seton.

“From socialite to saint, it was an extraordinary journey for Seton, one gracefully chronicled in Catherine O’Donnell’s richly textured new biography. . . . A remarkable biography of a remarkable woman.”—Wall Street Journal “The author situates Seton in the America of the times, including the anti-Catholicism that O’Donnell rightly sees as more nuanced than Seton saw herself. . . . [A] well-documented study.”—Library Journal “A sparkling example of how saints can arise from the vicissitudes of their time.

Elizabeth Seton will be welcomed by those who are devoted to this American saint and by a new generation of Americans who may have overlooked her story.”—National Catholic Register

Nothing Succeeds Like Failure The Sad History of American Business Schools Steven Conn

Do business schools actually make good on their promises of “innovative,” “outside-the-box” thinking to train business leaders who will put society ahead of money-making? Do they help society by making better business leaders? No, they don’t, Steven Conn asserts, and what’s more they never have.

In throwing down a gauntlet on the business of business schools, Conn’s Nothing Succeeds Like Failure examines the frictions, conflicts, and contradictions at the heart of these enterprises and details the way business schools have failed to resolve them. Beginning with founding of the Wharton School in 1881, Conn measures these schools’ aspirations against their actual accomplishments and tells the full and disappointing history of missed opportunities, unmet aspirations, and educational mistakes. Conn then poses a set of crucial questions about the role and function of American business schools. The results aren’t pretty.

Posing a set of crucial questions about the function of American business schools, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure is pugnacious and controversial. Deeply researched and fun to read, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure argues that the impressive façades of business school buildings resemble nothing so much as collegiate versions of Oz. Conn pulls back the curtain to reveal a story of failure to meet the expectations of the public, their missions, their graduates, and their own lofty aspirations of producing moral and ethical business leaders.

“Nothing Succeeds Like Failure is a brilliant and long-overdue puncturing of the business school mystique. Conn vividly outlines the creation and growth of the business school culture on America’s university campuses. That culture helped deliver the Great Depression, the Great Recession, gaping inequality, the corporate titan perp walk and, of course, Donald Trump while it helped wreck the best parts of American capitalism. Conn’s skewering is delicious. I just hope he has tenure.”

—Brian Alexander, author of Glass House “Nothing Succeeds Like Failure is timely, quite funny, and written by a first-rate historian.”

—Christopher P. Loss, Vanderbilt University

Yellow Star, Red Star Holocaust Remembrance after Communism Jelena Subotic

Yellow Star, Red Star asks why Holocaust memory continues to be so deeply troubled—ignored, appropriated, and obfuscated—throughout Eastern Europe, even though it was in those lands that most of the extermination campaign occurred. As part of accession to the European Union, Jelena Subotic shows, East European states were required to adopt, participate in, and contribute to the established Western narrative of the Holocaust.

This requirement created anxiety and resentment in post-communist states: Holocaust memory replaced communist terror as the dominant narrative in Eastern Europe, focusing instead on predominantly Jewish suffering in World War II. Influencing the European Union’s own memory politics and legislation in the process, post-communist states have attempted to reconcile these two memories by pursuing new strategies of Holocaust remembrance. The memory, symbols, and imagery of the Holocaust have been appropriated to represent crimes of communism.

Yellow Star, Red Star presents in-depth accounts of Holocaust remembrance practices in Serbia, Croatia, and Lithuania, and extends the discussion to other East European states. The book demonstrates how countries of the region used Holocaust remembrance as a political strategy to resolve their contemporary “ontological insecurities”—insecurities about their identities, about their international status, and about their relationships with other international actors. As Subotic concludes, Holocaust memory in Eastern Europe has never been about the Holocaust or about the desire to remember the past, whether during communism or in its aftermath. Rather, it has been about managing national identities in a precarious and uncertain world.

Jelena Subotic is Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University in Atlanta. She is the author of Hijacked Justice and numerous scholarly articles.

The Stuff of Soldiers A History of the Red Army in World War II through Objects Brandon M. Schechter

The Stuff of Soldiers uses everyday objects to tell the story of the Great Patriotic War as never before. Brandon Schechter attends to a diverse array of things—from spoons to tanks—to show how a wide array of citizens became soldiers, and how the provisioning of material goods separated soldiers from civilians.

Through a fascinating examination of leaflets, proclamations, newspapers, manuals, letters to and from the front, diaries, and interviews, The Stuff of Soldiers reveals how the use of everyday items made it possible to wage war. The dazzling range of documents showcases ethnic diversity, women’s particular problems at the front, and vivid descriptions of violence and looting.

Each chapter features a series of related objects: weapons, uniforms, rations, and even the knick-knacks in a soldier’s rucksack. These objects narrate the experience of people at war, illuminating the changes taking place in Soviet society over the course of the most destructive conflict in recorded history.

Schechter argues that spoons, shovels, belts, and watches held as much meaning to the waging of war as guns and tanks. In The Stuff of Soldiers, he describes the transformative potential of material things to create a modern culture, citizen, and soldier during World War II. Brandon M. Schechter is the Elihu Rose Scholar in Modern Military History at New York University.

“The Stuff of Soldiers is the most important recent contribution, in any language, to the history of the Red Army in World War II. I read it in one sitting and was consistently engaged.”

—Mark Edele, author of Stalin’s Defectors “One of the best books about Soviet military life to appear in a long time.

Among its many remarkable features is the way the author introduces non-Russian and women’s voices to his story. The Stuff of Soldiers is beautifully written, with often cinematic scope, and hard to put down.”

—Mark von Hagen, author of Soldiers in the Proletarian Dictatorship “Based on prodigious research in the Soviet archives, The Stuff of Soldiers interrogates dozens of objects within soldiers’ grasp – from headgear to underwear, and spoons to tobacco – for their uses and meanings.

The result is a fascinating retelling of how the Red Army fared in the Great Patriotic War.” —Lewis Siegelbaum, co-editor of Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands

Skis in the Art of War K. B. E. E. Eimeleus tr ansl ated and edited by William D. Fr ank with additional commentary by E. John B. Allen

K. B. E. E. Eimeleus was ahead of his time with his advocacy of ski training in the Russian armed forces. Employing terminology never before used in Russian to describe movements with which few were familiar, Skis in the Art of War gives a breakdown of the latest techniques at the time from Scandinavia and Finland.

Eimeleus’s work is an early and brilliant example of knowledge transfer from Scandinavia to Russia within the context of sport.

Nearly three decades after he published his book, the Finnish army, employing many of the ideas first proposed by Eimeleus, used mobile ski troops to hold the Soviet Union at bay during the Winter War of 1939–40, and in response, the Soviet government organized a massive ski mobilization effort prior to the German invasion in 1941. The Soviet counteroffensive against Nazi Germany during the winter of 1941–42 owed much of its success to the Red Army ski battalions that had formed as a result of the ski mobilization.

In this lucid translation that includes most of the original illustrations, scholar and biathlon competitor William D. Frank collaborates with E. John B. Allen, arguably the world’s preeminent authority on ski history.

K. B. E. E. Eimeleus (Carl Bror Emil Aejmelaeus-Äimä) served at the highest levels of the Finnish government after independence until his death in 1935.

William D. Frank is the author of Everyone to Skis!

“This book embraces larger issues, including the history of sport, the history of local ingenuity in overcoming the challenges of climate, the history of adapting specialized skills and resources to military use, and the life history of a fascinating figure in the world of sports.”

—Bruce W. Menning, University of Kansas, author of Bayonets Before Bullets “Impressive. Eimeleus’s book appears to have been read and understood by the Red Army General Staff as they raised and equipped ski troops in the 1920s and 1930s and especially during their so-called Great Patriotic War.” —David M. Glantz, founder and former director of the US Army’s Foreign Military Studies Office

Thomas Mann’s War Literature, Politics, and the World Republic of Letters Tobias Boes

In Thomas Mann’s War, Tobias Boes traces how the acclaimed and bestselling author became one of America’s most prominent anti-fascists and the spokesperson for a German cultural ideal that Nazism had perverted.

Thomas Mann, winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize in literature and author of such world-renowned novels as Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain, began his self-imposed exile in the United States in 1938, having fled his native Germany in the wake of Nazi persecution and public burnings of his books.

Mann embraced his role as a public intellectual, deftly using his literary reputation and his connections in an increasingly global publishing industry to refute Nazi propaganda. As Boes shows, Mann undertook successful lecture tours of the country and penned widely-read articles that alerted US audiences and readers to the dangers of complacency in the face of Nazism’s existential threat. Spanning four decades, from the eve of World War I, when Mann was first translated into English, to 1952, the year in which he left an America increasingly disfigured by McCarthyism, Boes establishes Mann as a significant figure in the wartime global republic of letters.

“Thomas Mann’s War is a beautiful and erudite book based on new international archival research. It creatively connects Thomas Mann’s politics in American exile with the media politics of his time.

By exploring issues such as practices of lecturing, translation or publication, it uncovers the ways Mann was reinvented politically and aesthetically as a writer.”

Food for All in Africa Sustainable Intensification for African Farmers Gordon Conway, Ousmane Badiane, & K atrin Glatzel

Africa requires a new agricultural transformation that is appropriate for Africa, that recognizes the continent’s diverse environments and climates, and that takes into account its histories and cultures while benefiting rural smallholder farmers and their families.

In this boldly optimistic book, Sir Gordon Conway, Ousmane Badiane, and Katrin Glatzel describe the key challenges faced

by Africa’s smallholder farmers and present the concepts and practices of Sustainable Intensification (SI) as opportunities to sustainably transform Africa’s agriculture sector and the livelihoods of millions of smallholders. The way forward, they write, will be an agriculture sector deeply rooted within SI: producing more with less, using fertilizers and pesticides more prudently, adapting to climate change, improving natural capital, adopting new technologies, and building resilience at every stage of the agriculture value chain.

Food for All in Africa envisions a virtuous circle generated through agricultural development rooted in SI that results in greater yields, healthier diets, improved livelihoods for farmers, and sustainable economic opportunities for the rural poor that in turn generate further investment. It describes the benefits of digital technologies for farmers and the challenges of transforming African agricultural policies and creating effective and inspiring leadership.

Food for All in Africa demonstrates why we should take on the challenge and provides ideas and methods through which it can be met.

Sir Gordon Conway is Professor of International Development at Imperial College London. He is author of T he Doubly Green Revolution and One Billion Hungr y.

“Food for All in Africa is truly gripping and provides an easy-to-follow pictoral exposition that will facilitate access by policy makers. This work, synthesizing core findings from the decades of experience of the preeminent expert authors in the areas of sustainable agriculture, is both welcome and important.”

—Steven Haggblade, Michigan State “Food for All in Africa is very impressive.

The Life of Alcibiades Dangerous Ambition and the Betrayal of Athens Jacqueline de Romilly tr ansl ated by Elizabeth Tr apnell R awlings

This biography of Alcibiades, the charismatic Athenian statesman and general (c. 450–404 BC) who achieved both renown and infamy during the Peloponnesian War, is both an extraordinary adventure story and a cautionary tale that reveals the dangers that political opportunism and demagoguery pose to democracy.

As Jacqueline de Romilly brilliantly documents, Alcibiades’s life is one of wanderings and vicissitudes, promises and disappointments, brilliant successes and ruinous defeats. Born into a wealthy and powerful family in Athens, Alcibiades was a student of Socrates and disciple of Pericles, and he seemed destined to dominate the political life of his city—and his tumultuous age.

Romilly shows, however, that he was too ambitious. Haunted by financial and sexual intrigues and political plots, Alcibiades was exiled from Athens, sentenced to death, recalled to his homeland, only to be exiled again. He defected from Athens to Sparta and from Sparta to Persia and then from Persia back to Athens, buffeted by scandal after scandal, most of them of his own making. A gifted demagogue and, according to his contemporaries, more handsome than the hero Achilles, Alcibiades is also a strikingly modern figure, whose seductive celebrity and dangerous ambition anticipated current crises of leadership.

Jacqueline de Romilly (1913–2010) was a distinguished scholar of Greek history and culture. In 1973, she became Chair of Greek at the College de France, the first woman nominated to this prestigious institution. In 1988, she was elected to the Académie Française as the second woman member, after Marguerite Yourcenar. Romilly was an A.D. White Professor-at-Large at Cornell from 1974 to 1980.

“Jacqueline de Romilly’s study of Alcibiades astonishingly succeeds in arousing in the reader the same feelings as those undoubtedly once experienced by the Athenian public before this extraordinary person. Her book inspires not only wonder at Alcibiades’s varied talents and admiration at his ability to seduce those around him but also anxiety about his ambitions and fear for the risks he takes. With its sudden reversals—victories followed by terrible defeats, resounding successes as well as the most bitter failures—Romilly’s book possesses the color of an epic with accents of tragedy.”— Revue des Études Grecques

Commuter Spouses New Families in a Changing World Danielle J. Lindemann

COMMUTER SPOUSES What can we learn from looking at married partners who live apart? In Commuter Spouses, Danielle Lindemann explores how couples cope when they live apart to meet the demands of their dual professional careers. Based on the personal stories of almost one-hundred commuter spouses, Lindemann shows how these atypical relationships embody (and sometimes disrupt!) gendered constructions of marriage in the United States. These narratives of couples who physically separate to maintain their professional lives reveal the ways in which traditional dynamics within a marriage are highlighted even as they are turned on their heads. Commuter Spouses follows the journeys of these couples as they adapt to change and shed light on the durability of some cultural ideals, all while working to maintain intimacy in a non-normative relationship.

Lindemann suggests that everything we know about marriage, and relationships in general, promotes the idea that couples are focusing more and more on their individual and personal betterment and less on their marriage. Commuter spouses, she argues, might be expected to exemplify in an extreme manner that kind of self-prioritization. Yet, as this book details, commuter spouses actually maintain a strong commitment to their marriage. These partners illustrate the stickiness of traditional marriage ideals while simultaneously subverting expectations.

Anti/Vax Reframing the Vaccination Controversy Bernice L. Hausman

Antivaxxers are crazy. That is the perception we all gain from the media, the internet, celebrities, and beyond, writes Bernice Hausman in Anti/Vax, but we need to open our eyes and ears so that we can all have a better conversation about vaccine skepticism and its implications.

Hausman argues that the heated debate about vaccinations and whether to get them or not is most often fueled by accusations and vilifications rather than careful attention to the real concerns of many Americans. She wants to set the record straight about vaccine skepticism and show how the issues and ideas that motivate it—like suspicion of pharmaceutical companies or the belief that some illness is necessary to good health—are commonplace in our society.

Through Anti/Vax, Hausman wants to engage public health officials, the media, and each of us in a public dialogue about the relation of individual bodily autonomy to the state’s responsibility to safeguard citizens’ health. We need to know more about the position of each side in this important stand-off so that public decisions are made through understanding rather than stereotyped perceptions of scientifically illiterate antivaxxers or faceless bureaucrats. Hausman reveals that vaccine skepticism is, in part, a critique of medicalization and a warning about the dangers of modern medicine rather than a glib and gullible reaction to scaremongering and misunderstanding.

Bernice L . Hausman is Professor and Chair of the Department of Humanities at Penn State College of Medicine. She is the author of Viral Mothers, Mother’s Milk, and Changing Sex.

“Deeply thought provoking, Anti/Vax is an excellent book and a surprising intellectual journey into and across the cultural underpinnings of contemporary vaccination skepticism. Bernice Hausman, as author and narrator, is a masterful guide.”

—Elena Conis, author of the award-winning Vaccine Nation “Bernice L. Hausman has provided us with something we as a society needed—an intelligent, thoughtful, nuanced discussion of the ‘vaccine controversy.’ She helps us think through the media flurry and has produced a book that speaks to the social sciences and the humanities.

Political Survivors The Resistance, the Cold War, and the Fight against Concentration Camps after 1945 Emma Kuby

In 1949, as Cold War tensions in Europe mounted, French intellectual and former Buchenwald inmate David Rousset called upon fellow concentration camp survivors to denounce the Soviet Gulag as a “hallucinatory repetition” of Nazi Germany’s most terrible crime. In Political Survivors, Emma Kuby tells the riveting story of what followed his appeal, as prominent members of the wartime Resistance from throughout Western Europe united to campaign against the continued existence of inhumane internment systems around the world. The International Commission against the Concentration Camp Regime brought together those originally deported for acts of anti-Nazi political activity who believed that their unlikely survival incurred a duty to bear witness for other victims. Over the course of the next decade, these pioneering activists crusaded to expose political imprisonment, forced labor, and other crimes against humanity in Franco’s Spain, Maoist China, French Algeria, and beyond.

Until now, the CIA’s secret funding of Rousset’s movement has remained in the shadows. Kuby reveals this clandestine arrangement between European camp survivors and American intelligence agents. She also brings to light how Jewish Holocaust victims were systematically excluded from Commission membership—a choice that fueled the group’s rise, but also helped lead to its premature downfall. The history that she unearths provides a striking new vision of how wartime memory shaped European intellectual life and ideological struggle after 1945.

Political Survivors argues that Cold War dogma and acrimony overshadowed the humanitarian possibilities of the nascent anti-concentration camp movement as Europe confronted the violent decolonizing struggles of the 1950s.

Emma Kuby is Assistant Professor of History at Northern Illinois University. A specialist in modern France and its overseas empire, she has authored numerous articles on violence, justice, and memory in post-war Europe.

The Scholems A Story of the German-Jewish Bourgeoisie from Emancipation to Destruction Jay Howard Geller

The evocative and riveting stories of four brothers—Gershom the Zionist, Werner the Communist, Reinhold the nationalist, and Erich the liberal—weave together in The Scholems, a biography of an eminent middle-class Jewish Berlin family and a social history of Jews in Germany in the decades leading up to World War II. Across four generations, Jay Howard Geller illuminates the transformation of traditional Jews into modern German citizens, the challenges they faced, and the ways that they shaped the German-Jewish century, beginning with Prussia’s emancipation of the Jews in 1812 and ending with exclusion and disenfranchisement under the Nazis. Focusing on the renowned philosopher and Kabbalah scholar Gershom Scholem and his family, their story beautifully draws out the rise and fall of bourgeois life in the unique subculture that was Jewish Berlin. Geller portrays the family within a much larger context of economic advancement, the adoption of German culture and debates on Jewish identity, struggles for integration into society, and varying political choices during the German Empire, World War I, the Weimar Republic, and the Nazi era. What Geller discovers, and unveils for the reader, is a fascinating portal through which to view the experience of the Jewish middle class in Germany.

Jay Howard Geller is the Samuel Rosenthal Professor of Judaic Studies and Professor of History at Case Western Reserve University. He is the author of Jews in Post-Holocaust Germany, 1945–1953 and co-editor of Three-Way Street.

“Excellent. . . . Well-researched and engagingly written, this is a fine contribution to German-Jewish biography and history.”— Publishers Weekly “Geller sets out a compelling tale of a diverse group of German Jews in the early 20th century who were broadly representative of the culture and class of a long-lost era.”—Kirkus Reviews “In this richly textured portrait of a German-Jewish family that included the renowned brothers Gershom and Werner Scholem, Jay Geller depicts the rise and fall of the dream of German-Jewish symbiosis and reminds us of how wonderfully vibrant those caught up in the dream actually were—whether they sought to prop up or break free of its tragic illusions.”

Enduring Alliance A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order Timothy Andrews Sayle

Born from necessity, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has always seemed on the verge of collapse. Even now, some sixty years after its inception, some consider its foundation uncertain and its structure weak. At this moment of incipient strategic crisis, Timothy A. Sayle offers a sweeping history of the most critical alliance in the post-World War II era.

In Enduring Alliance, Sayle recounts how the western European powers, along with the United States and Canada, developed a treaty to prevent encroachments by the Soviet Union and to serve as a first defense in any future military conflict. As the growing and unruly hodgepodge of countries, councils, commands, and committees inflated NATO during the Cold War, Sayle shows that the work of executive leaders, high-level diplomats, and institutional functionaries within NATO kept the alliance alive and strong in the face of changing administrations, various crises, and the flux of geopolitical maneuverings. Resilience and flexibility have been the true hallmarks of NATO. As Enduring Alliance deftly shows, the history of NATO is organized around the balance of power, preponderant military forces, and plans for nuclear war. But it is also the history riven by generational change, the introduction of new approaches to conceiving international affairs, and the difficulty of diplomacy for democracies. As NATO celebrates its seventieth anniversary, the alliance once again faces challenges to its very existence even as it maintains its place firmly at the center of western hemisphere and global affairs.

Timothy Andrews Sayle is Assistant Professor of History and a fellow of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History and the Southern Methodist University’s Center for Presidential History.

“The logic, history, and analysis of Enduring Alliance are impeccable, and Timothy Andrews Sayle’s account is particularly useful at this moment when the Atlantic partnership is on unsteady ground. A must-read for policymakers seeking to ensure the Pax Atlantic is the indispensable and truly enduring alliance of our times.”

—Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret), Supreme Allied Commander at NATO, 2009–2013, and author, The Accidental Admiral “A deeply researched and engaging account of the complicated and consequential history of the United States and NATO. Sayle offers new insights, exposes various myths, and explores the complexities and challenges of this unique, oft-troubled, but resilient alliance. Must-read for scholars of history, security studies, and institutions, as well as anyone concerned about the state of NATO today.”

Architects Portraits of a Practice Thomas Yarrow

What is creativity? What is the relationship between work life and personal life? How is it possible to live truthfully in a world of contradiction and compromise? These deep and deeply personal questions spring to the fore in Thomas Yarrow’s vivid exploration of the life of architects. Yarrow takes us inside the world of architects, showing us the anxiety, exhilaration, hope, idealism, friendship, conflict, and the personal commitments that feed these acts of creativity.

Architects rethinks “creativity,” demonstrating how it happens in everyday practice. It highlights how the pursuit of good architecture, relates to the pursuit of a good life in intimate and individually specific ways. And it reveals the surprising and routine social negotiations through which designs and buildings are actually made.

Thomas Yarrow is a social anthropologist whose work focuses on the social life of expertise. He is particularly interested in everyday interactions through which professional knowledge is produced, the personal and ideological commitments that propel this work, and the routine ethical dilemmas that arise.

For Architects, Yarrow turned his attention to the lives and work of ten architects who comprise the Millar Howard Workshop, an architectural firm in the Cotswolds, UK. Yarrow is also the author of Development Beyond Politics, and the co-author of Detachment, Differentiating Development, and Archaeology and Anthropology.

“A beautiful description of the struggle and doubts of the design process, Yarrow’s anthropological gaze is enchanted by the practice office that represents a way of life, contains bits of everything, and has little room for more. Architects is one of the most generous books I have read.”

—Prue Chiles “Architects is an insightful anthropological study of architects at work. There are amazing ethnographic descriptions of architectural work throughout.”

—Albena Yaneva, University of Manchester, and author of The Making of a Building “Thomas Yarrow’s book is extremely valuable and opens up anthropological writing to folks who aren’t already a part of the conversation. Anyone will be able to read and relate to Architects.”

—Keith M. Murphy, University of California, Irvine, and author of Swedish Design

The Dark Sides of Empathy Fritz Breithaupt tr ansl ated by Andrew B. B. Hamilton

Many consider empathy to be basis of moral action. However, the ability to empathize with others is also a prerequisite for deliberate acts of humiliation and cruelty toward them. In The Dark Sides of Empathy, Fritz Breithaupt contends that people commit atrocities not out of a failure of empathy but rather as a direct consequence of over-identification. Even well-meaning compassion can have many unintended consequences, such as intensifying conflicts or exploiting others.

Empathy plays a central part in a variety of highly problematic behaviors. From mere callousness to terrorism, exploitation to sadism, and emotional vampirism to stalking, empathy all too often motivates and promotes malicious acts. After tracing the history of empathy as an idea in German philosophy, Breithaupt looks at a wide-ranging series of case studies—from Stockholm syndrome to Angela Merkel’s refugee policy and from novels of the Romantic era to helicopter parents and murderous cheerleader moms—to uncover how narcissism, sadism, and dangerous celebrity obsessions alike find their roots in the quality that, arguably, most makes us human.

Fritz Breithaupt is Provost Professor at Indiana University Bloomington. He founded and directs the Experimental Humanities Laboratory at IU.

“The deeper you go into this book, the more dominant the dark sides of empathy seem—and the more urgent it is to face them.”

—Bavarian Public Radio “Empathy, Fritz Breithaupt shows through an abundant collection of examples, can lead to immoral acts as well as moral ones.”

—Neue Zürcher Zeitung “A book well worth reading. It invites you to reflect on an important human, social, and political topic.”

—socialnet “Fritz Breithaupt shows that empathy can be a source of emotional vampirism or sadistic pleasure. His work encourages circumvention of barriers to empathy and channeling it into helping others.”

—Suzanne Keen, Hamilton College, and author of Empathy and the Novel
