Desire
The World is Not Enough
By Jonathan Dollimore
By Oliver Buckton, Foreword by Jeremy Black
A Memoir “Jonathan Dollimore is unafraid to say what he thinks and feels, and the result reads like a liberation.” —Times Literary Supplement In this moving memoir, Jonathan Dollimore recounts a life dedicated to understanding the delight and disorder of human desire. He writes honestly and movingly about his teenage attraction to risk and danger; of wounding motorcycle crashes and lucky escapes; of sexual curiosity as a flight from boredom; of suicidal depression and sexual ecstasy, of his discovery of love and literature and his adventures cruising in the gay subcultures of late twentieth-century New York, Brighton, and Sydney. Jonathan Dollimore is a literary theorist, specialising in the fields of Renaissance literature (especially drama), art, censorship and the history of ideas, and a trailblazer in the study of gender and queer theory. Dollimore is credited with making major interventions in debates on sexuality and desire, transgression, perversion and decadence within cultural theory.

JFK's Ghost
Kennedy, Sorensen and the Making of Profiles in Courage By David R. Stokes
“I’d rather win a Pulitzer Prize than be President of the United States,” John F. Kennedy confided to author Margaret Coit shortly after his election to the Senate in 1953. Kennedy got his wish four years later, when his book Profiles in Courage was awarded the Pulitzer for biography—even though it wasn’t among the finalists for the prize. Furthermore, the role of Ted Sorensen in drafting the main chapters in the book was never acknowledged by Kennedy’s inner circle, and Kennedy himself was hypersensitive until his dying day about rumors that cast doubt on his ownership of Profiles in Courage.

Still, Jack Kennedy the writer is part of the Kennedy narrative that helped propel his political career. And he did indeed work for a time as a journalist, and brought a measures of erudition, wit, and charm to his speeches. But if the rumors surrounding authorship of Profiles in Courage were proven to be true prior to his ascendance to the Presidency, there might have been no brief and shining moment in America called Camelot. David R. Stokes has written several highly regarded works of fiction and nonfiction, as well as two screenplays.

The Untold Story of Medics, Mariners and the Incredible Boatlift that Evacuated Nearly 300,000 People on 9/11 By L.

It is a story that has not yet been written about or told. It includes hundreds of oral histories and many photographs of this high drama, set against the terrifying backdrop of the day when the Earth stood still, every airport in the U.S. was closed down, and Manhattan was seized by gridlock.

One Hundred and Sixty Minutes The Race to Save the RMS Titanic By William Hazelgrove
One hundred and sixty minutes. That is all the time rescuers would have before the largest ship in the world slipped beneath the icy Atlantic. There was amazing heroism and astounding incompetence against the backdrop of the most advanced ship in history sinking by inches with luminaries from all over the world. It is a story of a network of wireless operators on land and sea who desperately sent messages back and forth across the dark frozen North Atlantic to mount a rescue mission. More than twenty-eight ships would be involved in the rescue of Titanic survivors along with four different countries. This is a detailed and all-encompassing look at the Titanic rescue mission.

We see the Titanic as a great tragedy but a third of the people were rescued and the only reason every man, woman, and child did not succumb to the cold depths is due to Jack Phillips and Harold McBride in an insulated telegraph room known as the Silent Room. These two men tapping out CQD and SOS distress codes while the ship took on water at the rate of 400 tons per minute from a three-hundred-foot gash would inaugurate the most extensive rescue operation in maritime history using the cutting-edge technology of the time, wireless. William Hazelgrove is a bestselling author and was the Ernest Hemingway Writer in Residence.

Churchill, Eisenhower, and the Making of the Modern World By Christopher Catherwood
“Catherwood is an excellent guide at cutting through the mythology that surrounds this subject.”—The Guardian
Imprint: Lyons Press
“How did things get so messy in Mesopotamia? In part, because of Iraq's founding at the hands Winston Churchill, ‘undoubtedly brilliant but utterly lacking in any kind of judgment’. An impressive study on the making of modern Iraq, with all its crises and catastrophes.” — Kirkus Reviews

It is often said that the special bond between Britain and the USA was forged in war between Roosevelt and Churchill. But the closer link in many ways was that between Churchill and Eisenhower, since it existed both in wartime 1941-1945 but also again in very different circumstances between 1951 and 1955, when Churchill was Prime Minister and Eisenhower was briefly the first Supreme Allied Commander NATO before going back to the USA to win the 1952 Presidential race. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, in their various roles, Churchill and Eisenhower were continuing to create the new and stable global world order that held until now. Christopher Catherwood is an historian and Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellow since 2010. He is also Archives By-Fellow, Churchill College Cambridge, since 2008 Visitor to the SCR at St Edmund’s College Cambridge since 2010; University of Virginia Alderman Library and the OSS Archives at the National Archives in Washington DC - medal awarded 2014; Crosby Kemper Memorial Lecturer, Westminster College, Fulton MO for 2008; Marshall Lecturer, George C Marshall Center, Virginia Military Institute, 2009; and many others.

Forged in War
War Stories
By R. David Lankes
Edited by Lamar Underwood
“This extremely wide-ranging work calls attention to the problems of our newest information age.” —Colin Burke, author of America's Information Wars
In War Stories, editor Lamar Underwood has pulled together some of the finest writings about war-fighting that capture readers imaginations. It includes legendary tales from the French and Indian Wars, the Civil War, the Great War, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq – more than 250 years of warfare from colonial times up through the present day.
How a Century of War Created Today’s Information Society
Many of what we think of as Information Age tools and media --- computers, cell phones, the internet, encryption, and more --- evolved directly out of modern warfare. These tools started with World War I (which began not with arms, but with Britain cutting off underwater cables to Germany and isolating it), accelerated through World War II and the Cold War, and now play a center role in both declared and non-declared conflicts like election interference and cyberbattles. Forged in War takes a critical look at the systems we use and how we ended up in a society that values data over personal liberty and commerce over the public good. R. David Lankes is a professor and the director of the University of South Carolina’s School of Library and Information Science.

Hoover vs. Roosevelt Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, and Their War over World War II By Hal Elliott Wert
Hoover versus Roosevelt tells the story of how the U.S. entered World War II through the lens of Herbert Hoover. The debate over entering World War II before Pearl Harbor remains one of the most contentious in American history. Historian Arthur Schlesinger called it “the most savage political debate of my lifetime”—more vicious, that great scholar of American history thought, than the arguments over McCarthyism and Vietnam. Most accounts have focused on isolationism versus internationalism, Lindbergh versus Roosevelt, but the story is deeper and more complex than that and involves the transition of an older era of international relations—exemplified by Hoover, who believed in the Geneva Accord, the Hague Conventions, and public-private partnerships to address world crises—to the modern era of total war.

1943
Days of Peril, Year of Victory By Victor Brooks Military historian Victor Brooks argues that the year 1943 marked a significant shift in the World War II balance of power from the Axis to Allied forces. Brooks presents a global narrative of the American experience of war during the year, ranging from the tiny blood-drenched island of Tarawa to the vast expanses of North Africa. At no other period was the course of the war in such precarious balance, the author argues, as both Axis and Allies possessed roughly equivalent power, and as both sides still had reasonable expectations that victory could be achieved. Victor Brooks teaches at Villanova University and is the author of several books.

Avenging Pearl Harbor The Saga of America’s Battleships in the Pacific War By Keith Warren Lloyd
Avening Pearl Harbor takes readers from the attack on Pearl Harbor, telling the story of the severe damage dealt to the Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, California, and Tennessee (five of the eight dreadnoughts that had been sunk at Pearl Harbor) and the incredible acts of courage performed by the sailors of each crew that morning. It continues with how each ship was raised and repaired—Herculean in scope--and the mustering of new commanders, officers and crewmen. And it details the final drama of their revenge three years later as each of the five ships returns triumphantly to the battle fleet, and their ultimate triumph at the battle of Surigao Strait.

MEDICINE AND ILLNESS | 31
Doctoring the Black Death
Killer Looks
By John Aberth
By Zara Stone
This engrossing book provides the only comprehensive history of the medical response to the Black Death over time. Leading historian John Aberth has translated many unknown plague treatises from nine different languages that vividly illustrate the human dimensions of the horrific scourge. He includes doctors’ remarkable personal anecdotes, showing how their battles to combat the disease (which often afflicted them personally) and the scale and scope of the plague led many to question ancient authorities. Dispelling many myths and misconceptions about medicine during the Middle Ages, Aberth shows that plague doctors formulated a unique and far-reaching response as they began to treat plague as a poison, a conception that had far-reaching implications.
Killer Looks is the definitive story about the long-forgotten practice of providing free nose jobs, face-lifts, breast implants, and other physical alterations to prisoners, the idea being that by remodeling the face you remake the man. In the beginning, this was a haphazard affair -- applied inconsistently and unfairly to inmates, but entering the 1960s, a movement to scientifically quantify the long-term effect of such programs took hold. And, strange as it may sound, the criminologists were right: recidivism rates plummeted. In this highly original and highly researched book, Zara Stone draws on the intersectionality of socioeconomic success, racial bias, the prison industry complex, and the fallacy of attractiveness to get to the heart of how appearance and societal approval creates self-worth, and uncovers deeper truths of beauty bias, inherited racism, effective recidivism programs, and inequality.

"I Feel Love" topped charts the world over—including in the UK, Australia, France, Italy, and the Netherlands—and was in the Top 10 everywhere else. This record, Brian Eno told David Bowie as they worked together in the recording studio, "is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years." Which, said Bowie, "was more or less right." Except fifteen years was an under-estimation. Even now, more than forty years after its release, "I Feel Love" is routinely featured toward the top of manifold "greatest song" Top 100s—and remains a favorite by music fans and artists alike, with dozens of cover versions paying homage.

Strangers on This Road
The Life and Music of Dave Davies By Cam Cobb
Dave Davies was seventeen when he recorded "You Really Got Me." With the British Invasion in full swing, the precocious teenager was thrown into the storm. In an instant, he had it all—hit records, fame, adoring fans, even an older brother in his band. But all was not well. Living a Bacchus-like life in Swinging London, Davies was haunted by ghosts from his past and an unshakeable longing. When he had his own hit single at age twenty-one, a solo career appeared on the horizon. Two years later, the Kinks had become a commercial disaster and the guitarist's own solo career fizzled. In the 1960s and '70s, Davies recorded an arsenal of songs both with the Kinks and on his own, yet they remained unreleased for decades. This is the story of Dave Davies's life and music. It is a story of great excess, great loss, and a spiritual journey.

U2's The Joshua Tree
Planting Roots in Mythic America By Bradley Morgan
U2 planted the seeds for The Joshua Tree during an existential journey through America. As Irishmen in the 1970s, the band grew up with the belief that America was a place of freedom and prosperity, a symbol of hope and a refuge for all people. However, global politics of the 1980s undermined that impression and fostered hypocritical policies that manipulated Americans and devastated people around the world.
Imprint: Backbeat December 2021 160 pages Hardback 978-1-4930-6117-4 $29.95 / £22.95 eBook 978-1-4930-6118-1 $28.50 / £21.95
Originally conceived as "The Two Americas," The Joshua Tree was U2's critique of America. Rather than living up to the ideal that the country was "an idea that belongs to people who need it most," the band found that America sacrificed equality and justice for populism and fascism. This book explores the political, social, and cultural themes rooted in The Joshua Tree when it was originally released in 1987 and how those themes resonated as a response to the election of Donald Trump when U2 toured for the album's 30th anniversary. The author juxtaposes the band's existential journey through America with his own journey connecting with his Irish roots by becoming a citizen in the age of Trump and places U2's and The Joshua Tree's relevance in context with the current political climate.

Sympathy for the Drummer Why Charlie Watts Matters By Mike Edison
“Charlie Watts lays it down, and the others follow. He is the Law.

Compelling evidence to convince even the most non-partisan reader that Charlie is indeed the WORLD’S GREATEST ROCK’N’ROLL DRUMMER!” — Jim Sclavunos, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "As Keith Richards has said, “No Charlie, no Stones,” and Edison wrote the book to prove it.”— Modern Drummer

As the new millennium poses some of the greatest challenges to the relevance of the art form, Slatkin reflects on the modern evolution of classical music and presents ways for both music lovers and musicians alike to navigate these uncertain times. Classical Crossroads: The Path Forward for Music in the 21st Century addresses a wide range of relevant and provocative topics such as performance in the era of COVID-19, dwindling audience attendance, the lack of classical music in public education, broken audition systems, technology replacing live concerts, and diversity in the classical music world. While the new millennium has provided great obstacles, Slatkin emphasizes that there are also new opportunities—if there was ever a time for change in classical music, that time is now. Internationally acclaimed conductor Leonard Slatkin is music director laureate of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, directeur musical honoraire of the Orchestre National de Lyon, and conductor laureate of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

Anne Frank & Emmett Till
Why I Wrote the Play Anne & Emmett By Janet Langhart Cohen
“Anne & Emmett should be seen in every classroom in America.” —Ruth Bader Ginsburg “Janet Langhart Cohen has written a play that is emotional, educational and inspirational. I thought it was a beautifully acted. I’ve been following this play for a long time—great cast, fully directed. It was a real treat. ” —Michael Douglas, Actor, Director Anne Frank & Emmett Till is an effort to reveal how some of the people the author has known and the seminal events she experienced enabled her to link together, in an imaginary conversation, the seemingly disparate lives of Anne Frank and Emmett Till, two iconic figures who were murdered by societies that couldn’t protect them.

In some chapters the author quotes portions of the dialogue she used in her play, Anne & Emmett, with an explanation of what events triggered the thoughts in her mind. In disclosing her personal views and attitudes, she hopes the reader may come to understand the making of the playwright as well as the making of the play, and “why I am as I am.” The book is not an academic treatment on the subjects of racism and anti-Semitism. Rather, it is simply how both evils impacted the author’s life and played a major role in the creation of Anne & Emmett. Janet Langhart Cohen is an award-winning playwright and journalist who grew up in a segregated housing project in Indianapolis, Indiana, and went on to enjoy a career in modeling, television, and public service as the nation’s "First Lady of the Pentagon".

Acting Action
A Primer for Actors By Hugh O'Gorman
“What is it that we’re doing, when we’re acting well?” This is the question famously posed by Earle Gister, the legendary head of the acting department at Yale School of Drama from 1979 to 1999. In Acting Action, actor, director, and teaching artist Hugh O’Gorman invites readers to explore the question in detail. Focusing on playing action—one of the essential components of acting passed on to renowned acting teachers Earle Gister and Lloyd Richards by Paul Mann—Acting Action is divided into two parts: context and practice. The first section provides a thorough examination of the theory behind the core elements of playing action. The second section presents a step-by-step rehearsal guide for actors to integrate playing action into their preparation process.
Imprint: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers August 2021 312 pages Paperback 978-1-5381-3929-5 $24.95 / £18.95 eBook 978-1-5381-3930-1 $23.50 / £17.95
Acting Action offers a foundation for how to get started and build the core of a performance. More precisely, it provides a practical guide for actors, directors, and teachers in the technique of playing action, addressing a void in the world of actor training by illuminating what exactly to do in the moment-to-moment act of acting. Hugh O’Gorman is an actor, director, teaching artist, and co-executive director of the National Alliance of Acting Teachers.

Banning the Bomb, Smashing the Patriarchy By Ray Acheson
“This is a fascinating and much-needed dive into the ICAN movement and the history of Anti-Nuclear protest from the 60s and 70s to present day. A key strength to this story is the centrality of the author to the events reported, offering readers a pleasing participant observation angle to the events.” — Kate Hudson, General Secretary for Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Activist “ With so much at stake, from climate change, reproductive rights, threats from weapons of mass destruction, to police brutality, the last decade has seen ordinary people take to the streets to challenge and change the way our governments and institutions legislate our future. Movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo have had an incredible impact on public understandings and political commitments, showing the meaningful change that social movements and popular resistance can have on our world.

Pitch Battles
Sport, Racism and Resistance By Peter Hain and André Odendaal
Just a year after the controversial D’Oliveira affair, the organised disruption of the all-white 1969/70 South African rugby and cricket tours to Britain represented a significant challenge to apartheid politics. Led by future cabinet minister Peter Hain, the ‘Stop the Seventy Tour’ campaign brought about the cancellation of both tours, presaging white South Africa’s expulsion from the Olympics and the end of apartheid sport altogether. Now, reflecting on these experiences with fifty years of hindsight, Lord Hain, together with South Africa’s foremost sports historian and fellow anti-apartheid activist André Odendaal, shows how decades of relentless international and domestic campaigning for equality led to a Springbok team captained by black athlete Siya Kolisi winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Imprint: Rowman & Littlefield September 2021 512 pages Hardback (2020) 978-1-78661-522-0 $33.00 / £25.00 Paperback 978-1-78661-523-7 $19.95 / £14.95 eBook 978-1-78661-524-4 $19.00 / £14.95
Interspersing a wide range of examples with personal testimony, Pitch Battles explores the themes of sport, globalisation and resistance from the deep past to the present day. This compelling story of sacrifice, struggle and triumph reveals how sport should never be divorced from politics or society’s values. Peter Hain led campaigns to stop all-white Springbok and other all-white sports tours, later becoming a Labour MP and Cabinet Minister, then a member of the House of Lords and author of over twenty books. André Odendaal is Honorary Professor in History and Heritage Studies at the University of the Western Cape.

From a first-person account of the infamous Lufthansa robbery that netted millions, to the beguiling society bank robber so confident he broke into the same New York City bank twice to pull off the biggest haul in history, to the mysterious and brutal murders of a quiet farm family in a close-knit but suspicious community that offered an unusual number of suspects, The Greatest Crime Stories Ever Told is a fascinating and darkly enticing contribution to the wildly popular true crime genre. Here are not only the suspects, obvious or not, but the detectives who wanted them in prison and were willing to put their own lives at risk to do so. Did the perpetrators get away with their perfidies? Did the rule of law prevail in the end? Were the right people caught and prosecuted? Here are stories sure to intrigue and shock readers and put them on the edges of their seats. That’s the point after all, and The Greatest Crime Stories Ever Told will not disappoint. Tom McCarthy is an award-winning editor and writer who lives in Guilford, Connecticut.

New York City Yesterday and Today
Exploring the City's Tax Photographs By Jamie McDonald The little-known, but utterly fascinating tax photographs from The City of New York’s Hall of Records and how those areas look today. The photographs are an interesting page in the history of the city’s municipal workings alone, but are a fascinating look into daily city life in the 1940’s. Incredibly, city officials employed a team of photographers to go out to all five boroughs and photograph literally every building in the city. The result is tens of thousands of photos of practically every nook and cranny of the streets of New York. In this book, author and photographer Jamie McDonald compares the old locations with modern photos. It’s a remarkable look at the city’s past and present. Jamie McDonald wrote, directed and hosted the Emmy award winning PBS television series “New York Originals". Globe Pequot November 2021 • 288 pages Hardback 978-1-4930-5211-0 • $29.95 / £22.95

Planet of the Apes The Complete History By Sean Egan
Planet of the Apes was a concept that started life in 1963 as a quirky work by French literary novelist Pierre Boulle. His concept of a world where humans are ruled over by apes proceeded to become one of the biggest multi-media sensations in history. The 1968 Charlton Heston motion-picture adaptation of Boulle's book was celebrated and successful but was just the beginning. By 1973, said picture had spawned four sequels. It then spun off a live-action TV series, which in turn spun off the animated TV show Return to the Planet of the Apes. What with this, comic books, novelizations, and a tsunami of merchandising, the late sixties and first half of the seventies had a distinctly simian flavor. A new generation was introduced to the concept when, in 2001, Tim Burton's updating of the series appeared in cinemas. This itself was rebooted a decade later in the form of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and its two sequels. Despite all the fantasy (and money-chasing), however, the series has always been marked by thoughtfulness, exploring serious themes alien to most franchises.

Killing John Wayne
The Making of the Conqueror By Ryan Uytdewilligen Behold a film so dangerous, half its cast and crew met their demise bringing eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes’ final cinematic vision to life. A film starring All-American legend John Wayne in full Fu Manchu makeup as Mongol madman Genghis Khan. This is the true story of The Conqueror (1956), the worst movie ever made. Filmed during the dark underbelly of the 1950s—the Cold War—when nuclear testing in desolate southwestern landscapes was a must for survival, the very same landscapes were where exotic stories set in faraway lands could be made. Just 153 miles from the St. George, Utah, set, nuclear bombs were detonated regularly at Yucca Flat and Frenchman Flat in Nevada, providing a bizarre and possibly deadly background to an already surreal moment in cinema history. This book tells the full story of the making of The Conqueror, its ignominious aftermath, and the radiation induced cancer that may have killed John Wayne and many others.

The Scythe Book
Mowing Hay, Cutting Weeds, and Harvesting Small Grains with Hand Tools, 2021 Edition By David Tresemer
“...armed with book and scythe, I approached my grass. I can report that I laid waste to a quarter-acre of weeds, including occasional poplar and sumac shoots up to a half-inch in diameter. I felt good after performing this chore. Last year I did the same job in twice the time with a 'weed eater' made by a chain saw manufacturer. It vibrated. I vibrated. Though I wore antinoise earmuffs, I got a headache. David Tresemer has converted me to scything.” —Tom Manwell, Horticulture Magazine The Scythe Book shows how a traditional hand tool can often outperform modern technology for cutting grasses and weeds and harvesting small grains, and provides detailed guidance on fitting the scythe to the individual, care and repair of the blade, principles of movement, and much fascinating lore.

David Tresemer, Ph.D., has a doctorate in psychology and is a faculty coordinator and presenter for the certificate program in Counseling Psychology, with concentration in Anthroposophic Psychology.
