THE LUPUS ENCYCLOPEDIAA Comprehensive Guide for Patients and Families

DONALD E. THOMAS, JR., M.D., FACP, FACR

Systematic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that can affect any system and

organ in the body. For the 1.4 million people in the United States who have lupus, their

overactive immune system senses that different parts of the body do not belong—and it at-

tacks these parts. The immune system may strike the cells that line the joints or tendons, for

example, causing pain and swelling. An incredibly complex disease, lupus must be properly

treated for the optimal health and well-being of the person who has it.

The Lupus Encyclopedia is an authoritative compendium that provides detailed explana-

tions of every body system potentially affected by the disease along with practical advice

about coping for people with lupus, their loved ones, caregivers, and medical profession-

als. Illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and tables, The Lupus Encyclopedia explains

symptoms, diagnostic methods, medications and their potential side effects, and when to

seek medical attention. Dr. Thomas provides information for women who wish to become

pregnant and advises readers about working with a disability, complementary and alterna-

tive medicine, infections, cancer, and a host of other topics


People who have lupus need this book to stay as healthy as possible.

DONALD E. THOMAS, JR., M.D., FACP, FACR, is an assistant professor of medicine at

the Uniformed Services University of the Health

Reed National Military Medical Center. He is a

LIVING WITH ITCHA Patient’s Guide

GIL YOSIPOVITCH, M.D., and SHAWN G. KWATRA, M.D.

We have all experienced itch, whether from insect bites or dry skin, but millions of people

worldwide have chronic or even intractable itch. Just like chronic pain, chronic itch inter-

feres with function—even with quality of life. Living with Itch offers relief, drawing on the

authors’ vast knowledge of itch, the suffering it causes, and available treatments.

Itch researchers and clinicians Drs. Gil Yosipovitch and Shawn G. Kwatra explain what

itch is and the cascade of physiological events that cause us to experience it. They describe

the many skin diseases, from atopic dermatitis (also known as eczema) to psoriasis, and

conditions like chronic kidney disease, lymphoma, HIV, and neuropathies that cause itch.

Living with Itch provides information on preventing itch as well as topical and systemic

therapies, regardless of what’s causing the itch. Patient and parent narratives explain how

itch affects their lives and how they cope with a symptom that can, with medical and social

support, be managed.


GIL YOSIPOVITCH, M.D., is a professor of dermatology, neurobiology,

and anatomy at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. He is known as the

“Godfather of Itch” and is the founder of the International Forum for the

Study of Itch. SHAWN G. KWATRA, M.D., is a resident in the depart-

ment of dermatology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

GET INSIDE YOUR DOCTOR’S HEADTen Commonsense Rules for Making Better Decisions about Medical Care

PHILLIP K. PETERSON, M.D.

With so many medical tests and treatments and so much scientific and medical informa-

tion—some of it contradictory—how can people make the best medical decisions?

Most medical decisions, it turns out, are based on common sense. In this short and

easy-to-read book, Dr. Phillip K. Peterson explains the Ten Rules of Internal Medicine. Using

real case examples, he shows how following the rules will help consumers make good deci-

sions about their medical care.

Get Inside Your Doctor’s Head provides advice about such questions as when to seek

treatment, when to get another opinion, and when to let time take its course. Turn to the

Ten Rules when you are weighing your doctor’s recommendations about diagnostic tests

and treatments and use them to communicate more effectively with your doctor. Follow the

Ten Rules to make decisions in the increasingly complicated medical world when you need

guidance about health matters for yourself and your loved ones.

“In simple direct language Dr. Peterson tells readers how to understand their doctors’ recommendations and ask intelligent questions about their validity. This straightfor-ward information provides valuable tools to help readers evaluate medical advice and become effective self-advocates for the highest quality medical care available.”

SCHIZOPHRENIAA Brother Finds Answers in Biological Science

RONALD CHASE

When bright lives are derailed by schizophrenia, bewildered and anxious families struggle

to help and to cope, even as scientists search for causes and treatments that prove elusive.

Painful and often misunderstood, schizophrenia profoundly affects people who have the

disease and their loved ones. Here Ronald Chase, an accomplished biologist, sets out to

discover the facts about the disease and to better understand what happened to his older

brother, Jim, who developed schizophrenia as a young adult.

Chase’s account alternates between a fiercely loyal and honest memoir and rigorous

scientific exploration. He finds scientific answers to deeply personal questions about the

course of his brother’s illness.

Chase also explores the stigma of mental illness, the evolution of schizophrenia, the

paradox of its persistence despite low reproduction rates in persons with the disease, and

the human stories behind death statistics. With the author’s intimate knowledge of the

suffering caused by this disease, Schizophrenia emphasizes research strategies, the impor-

tance of sound scientific approaches, and the challenges that remain.

“I do not know of another book that gives an account of the course of schizophre-nia across an entire lifetime. Chase’s technique of alternating chapters between the science and the personal to tell the story of his brother’s illness uniquely melds two equally important but very different perspectives on this terrible illness. The result is a book that is compelling, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at the same time.”

—Francis Mark Mondimore, M.D., Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and author of Depression, the Mood Disease

A neuroscientist explores the biological bases of schizophrenia and tells the heartbreaking story of his own brother’s battle with the disease.

RONALD CHASE is a professor emeri-

tus of biology at McGill University. He is

author of The Physical Basis of Mental

Illness and Behavior and Its Neural Control

in Gastropod Molluscs.

LIVING SAFELY, AGING WELLA Guide to Preventing Injuries at Home

DOROTHY A. DRAGO, M.P.H.

As we age, our sense of balance and our vision, hearing, and cognition become less sharp.

These changes greatly increase our risk of injury. In Living Safely, Aging Well, nationally rec-

ognized safety expert Dorothy A. Drago spells out how to prevent unintentional injury while

cooking, gardening, sleeping, driving—and just walking around the house.

In the first part of the book Drago describes the causes of injuries by type—falls, burns,

poisoning, and asphyxia—and explains how to decrease the risk of each. She then explores

the home environment room by room, pointing out potential hazards and explaining how to

avoid them, for example, by installing night lights, eliminating glass coffee tables, and using

baby monitors. Lively line drawings make it easy for readers to visualize risks and implement

prevention techniques. Living Safely, Aging Well pays special attention to hazards encoun-

tered by people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. A chapter devoted

to health literacy helps people and caregivers make the best use of the medical care system.

“Presented in an easy-to-read format appropriate as a resource for the healthcare professionals as well as a caregiver and the general population.”

A MAN’S GUIDE TO HEALTHY AGINGStay Smart, Strong, and Active

EDWARD H. THOMPSON, JR., and LENARD W. KAYE

As they reach middle age, most men begin looking forward to “what’s next.” They gear up

to experience renewed productivity and purpose and are more conscious of their health. A

Man’s Guide to Healthy Aging is an authoritative resource for middle aged and older men.

The authors—a medical sociologist and a gerontologist and social worker—in collaboration

with a variety of medical experts, provide a comprehensive guide to healthy aging from a

man’s perspective.

Edward H. Thompson, Jr., and Lenard W. Kaye describe the actions men can take to

stay healthy, how body systems function, and what changes may occur as men age. They

consider how physical health and state of mind are connected. They show the importance

of interacting with friends and family.

A Man’s Guide to Healthy Aging is a must-read for all men. Refusing to embrace the

ageist stereotype of men spending their later years “winding down,” this book will help

men reinvent themselves once, twice, or more by managing their health, creating new ca-

reers, and contributing their skills and experiences to their communities.


Explores all aspects of health as men reach middle age and beyond.

CARING FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE SEVERE NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENTA Life with Grace

JULIE M. HAUER, M.D.

Global impairment of the central nervous system, whether stable or progressive, is often

called severe neurological impairment (SNI). A child who has SNI will be cared for both by

specialist clinicians and by parents at home. A parent is a child’s best expert and advocate,

and many parents become highly skilled in managing their child’s care. This guide provides

information to help parents increase their knowledge and improve their caregiving skills.

In Caring for Children Who Have Severe Neurological Impairment, Dr. Julie M. Hauer

advocates shared decision making between family caregivers and healthcare providers.

She details aspects of medical care such as pain, sleep, feeding, and respiratory problems.

Tables and key points summarize discussions for clear, quick reference, while case studies

and stories illustrate how different families approach decision making, communication, care

plans, and informed consent.

Parents and other caregivers will find this book to be indispensable—as will bioethicists

clinicians, and others who care for children with neurological and neuromuscular disorders.

Dr. Hauer offers hope and practical coping strategies in equal measure.

“A much needed resource for families struggling to stay informed and make deci-sions for their children. It also is a new and essential resource for pediatric palliative care professionals who walk alongside families as guides.” —Jody Chrastek, DNP, RN, CHPN, Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota


An expert physician empowers parents to make informed decisions about their child’s care.

MAKING SENSE OF IBSA Physician Answers Your Questions about Irritable Bowel Syndrome

second editionBRIAN E. LACY, PH.D., M.D.

IBS affects almost one in six Americans and is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating,

gas, and diarrhea and constipation. Today physicians are better able to diagnose this com-

plex disorder, understand and explain its origins, and develop a treatment plan that effec-

tively meets the individual needs of a patient.

Since publication of the first edition of Making Sense of IBS, diagnosis and treatment of

irritable bowel syndrome have changed significantly. Drawing on his many years of experi-

ence treating people who have symptoms of IBS, Dr. Brian E. Lacy has greatly expanded

the first edition, adding new topics and the latest findings on tests, medications, alternative

treatments, dietary factors, and lifestyle.

Making Sense of IBS is an essential resource for anyone who has symptoms or a diag-

nosis of IBS as well as for health professionals who treat people with this complex disorder.

Praise for the first edition

“This book is very well-written, clear, and certainly reaches its goal of clearing up the many misconceptions and misinterpretations that surround IBS.”

The first comprehensive account of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s complementary roles as author, academic, policy maker, and critic.

ZBIGThe Strategy and Statecraft of Zbigniew Brzezinski

edited by CHARLES GATI

with a foreword by President Jimmy Carter

Zbigniew Brzezinski’s multifaceted career dealing with U.S. security and foreign policy has

led him from the halls of academia to multiple terms in public service, including a stint as

President Carter’s National Security Advisor from 1977 to 1981. He is a renowned policy

analyst and author who frequently appears as a commentator on popular talk shows, includ-

ing MSNBC’s Morning Joe and PBS’s NewsHour. Brzezinski’s strategic vision continues to

carry a great deal of gravitas.

To assess the ramifications of Brzezinski’s engagement in world politics and policy

making, Charles Gati has enlisted many of the top foreign policy players of the past thirty

years to reflect on and analyze the man and his work. His vibrant introduction and conclud-

ing one-on-one interview with Brzezinski lucidly frame the book’s critical assessment of this

major statesman’s accomplishments.

“Charles Gati has done a service to scholars and to all who are interested in U.S. foreign policy. Zbig is both a long overdue tribute and a comprehensive, balanced, and much-needed study of Dr. Brzezinski’s extraordinary career.”

—Madeleine Albright, former U. S. Secretary of State

ALIEN UNIVERSEExtraterrestrial Life in Our Minds and in the Cosmos

DON LINCOLN

If extraterrestrials exist, where are they? What is the probability that somewhere out there

in the universe an Earth-like planet supports an advanced culture? Why do so many people

claim to have encountered aliens? In this gripping exploration, scientist Don Lincoln exposes

and explains the truths about the belief in and the search for alien life.

In the first half of Alien Universe, Lincoln looks to Western civilization’s collective im-

age of aliens, showing how our perceptions of extraterrestrials have evolved over time. The

roots of this belief can be traced as far back as our earliest recognition that there were other

planets in the universe, and the idea of aliens has fascinated us ever since. The world was

fooled in the nineteenth century during the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and again in the twen-

tieth with Orson Welles’s 1938 radio broadcast, The War of the Worlds. And our continuing

interest is reflected in entertainment successes such as E. T., The X-Files, and Star Trek.

The second half of the book deals with the scientific possibility that advanced alien

civilizations do exist. For many years, researchers have sought to answer Enrico Fermi’s

great paradox—if there are so many planets in the universe, and a high probability that many

of those can support life, then why have we not actually encountered any aliens (apologies

to those who are sure we have)? Lincoln describes how modern science teaches us what

is possible and what is not.

Are alien civilizations really possible?

at Fermilab and author of The Quantum

Frontier: The Large Hadron Collider, also

published by Johns Hopkins.

WHO OWNS AMERICA’S PAST?The Smithsonian and the Problem of History

ROBERT C. POST

In 2003, when the Smithsonian Institution announced plans to display the Enola Gay, the

B-29 used in the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the ensuing political uproar caught the

museum entirely unprepared. As the largest such complex in the world, the Smithsonian

cares for and displays hundreds of thousands of objects and has exhibited everything from

deadly weapons to taxidermic trophy animals to Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of

Oz. Why did this particular object arouse such controversy? In Who Owns America’s Past?,

Robert C. Post, a retired curator with more than thirty years of experience, offers insight into

the politics of display and the interpretation of history from an insider’s perspective.

Never before has a book about the Smithsonian detailed the recent and dramatic shift

from collection-driven shows, in which artifacts were sparsely labeled and presented in

taxonomic groupings, to concept-driven exhibitions, in which objects aim to tell a story, dis-

played like illustrations in a book. Even more recently, the trend is to show artifacts with

props—such as sound, light, and digital elements—to create “stage sets” for an immersive

environment. Rather than looking at a piece of history, visitors are invited to experience it.

Post gives the reader a behind-the-scenes view of internal tempests as they brewed

and how different personalities and experts passionately argued about the best way to pres-

ent the story of America.

“This is institutional history in the very best sense because it highlights the role of individuals as well as ideas. We also gain insight into the museum’s place in national politics. A most enlightening project.”

—Michael Kammen, Cornell University

When preserving our history, what do we choose to value, why, and who decides?

ROBERT C. POST, now curator emeri-

tus, began working at the Smithsonian

Institution’s National Museum of American

History in 1988. His books include Urban

Mass Transit: The Life Story of a Technol-

ogy and High Performance: The Culture

and Technology of Drag Racing, 1950–2000,

AMISH QUILTSCrafting an American Icon

JANNEKEN SMUCKER

Quilts have become a cherished symbol of Amish craftsmanship and the beauty of the sim-

ple life. Country stores in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and other tourist regions display

row after row of handcrafted quilts—a favorite souvenir for tourists and a source of income

for the quilters. In luxury homes, office buildings, and museums, the quilts been preserved

and displayed as priceless artifacts. Amish Quilts explores how these objects went from

practical bed linens to contemporary art.

In this in-depth study, illustrated with more than 100 stunning color photographs,

Janneken Smucker discusses what makes an Amish quilt Amish. She examines the value of

quilts to those who have made, bought, sold, exhibited, and preserved them and how that

value changes as a quilt travels from Amish hands to marketplace to consumers.

Through her own observations as well as oral histories, newspaper accounts, ephem-

era, and other archival sources, Smucker seeks to understand how the term “Amish”

became a style, and what it means to both quiltmakers and consumers alike.

“Smucker’s excellent book is beautifully written and will significantly advance the scholarship in quilt studies and, more broadly, material culture studies and art history. This is the book that will stand as the authoritative text on Amish quiltmaking.” —Marsha MacDowell, Michigan State University Museum

Young Center Books in Anabaptist and Pietist Studies Donald B. Kraybill, Series Editor

FOOTBALL IN BALTIMOREHistory and Memorabilia from Colts to Ravens

second editionTED PATTERSON

with contributions by Dean Smith photography by Edwin H. Remsberg foreword by Raymond Berry

A radio and television sports announcer who moved to Baltimore in what turned out to be

the final decade of the Baltimore Colts, Ted Patterson has amassed one of the world’s pre-

mier collections of Baltimore sports memorabilia. In this heavily illustrated history of football

in Baltimore, he takes us on a tour of his remarkable collection—highlighting memorable

games and players and exploring pop culture that surrounded and has survived them.

The second edition continues the story of the Raven’s success—from their first Super

Bowl victory in 2001 to the emotional parade through downtown Baltimore after winning

Super Bowl XLVII. New chapters from Baltimore poet and sports aficionado Dean Smith

capture the energy of Purple Fridays, the larger-than-life personalities of Ray Lewis, Hall of

Famer Jonathan Ogden, Jamal Lewis, Matt Stover, Ed Reed, and Joe Flacco, and the city’s

embrace of the Ravens as a reflection of Baltimore itself.

TED PATTERSON, a broadcast journalist,

has covered the Baltimore sports scene

since 1973. He is author of Day-by-Day

in Baltimore Orioles History. DEAN SMITH covers the Baltimore Ravens and

the Orioles for the Baltimore Brew. His

sportswriting has appeared in Press Box,

Fan Magazine, Baltimore City Paper, and on

the websites Patch.com and the Midnight

Mind Review.

A YEAR ACROSS MARYLANDA Week-by-Week Guide to Discovering Nature in the Chesapeake Region

BRYAN MacKAY

When can you find ripe blueberries along the Appalachian Trail in Maryland? Where can you

see the air filled with monarch butterflies as they migrate south each autumn? If you want

to enjoy nature this weekend, where is the best place to visit? Bryan MacKay can tell you.

Written as an almanac, A Year across Maryland invites you to explore the natural world

throughout the year, from watching bald eagles nesting in January to harvesting mistletoe

in December. Entries identify the best time and place to experience such wonders as wild-

flowers blooming, birds in migration, amphibians singing, and morel mushrooms ready to

be picked, sliced, sautéed, and savored. Color photographs of more than seventy species

enrich and illustrate the text. Every week of the year has a recommended “Trip of the Week,”

while monthly personal essays that draw from MacKay’s field notes provide an intimate

glimpse into a biologist’s encounters with plants and animals over the years.

“This is a delightful book packed with information on a diversity of organisms with explicit instructions on how to enjoy marvelous creatures virtually every day of the year. MacKay’s passion for natural history is palpable.”

—Lytton John Musselman, author of Plants of the Chesapeake Bay: A Guide to Wildflowers, Grasses, Aquatic Vegetation, Trees, Shrubs, and Other Flora

A week-by-week look at the abundant wildlife and plants in and around Maryland—where and when to find them.

MARYLAND IN BLACK AND WHITEDocumentary Photography from the Great Depression and World War II

CONSTANCE B. SCHULZ

Between 1935 and 1943, the United States government commissioned forty-four photog-

raphers to capture American faces, along with living and working conditions, across the

country. Nearly 180,000 photographs were taken—4,000 in Maryland—and they are now

preserved in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. Constance B.

Schulz presents a selection of these images in Maryland in Black and White.

Within these pages, the farms and coal fields of 1930s and ‘40s western Maryland, the

tobacco fields of southern Maryland, watermen in wooden boats along the Eastern Shore,

and smiling couples dancing at a wartime senior prom come back to life. These photographs

reveal places we know but scarcely recognize and give us another look at the people of “the

greatest generation.”

FRONT STOOPS IN THE F IFTIESBaltimore Legends Come of Age

MICHAEL OLESKER

Front Stoops in the Fifties recounts the monumental past of some of Baltimore’s most

famous icons who grew up during the “decade of conformity.” Familiar faces such as Jerry

Leiber, Nancy Pelosi, Thurgood Marshall, and Barry Levinson figure prominently in this grip-

ping chronicle based on personal interviews and journalistic research.

Michael Olesker marks the end of the fifties with the assassination of President John F.

Kennedy. “It was as if millions of us suddenly felt the need to express our anxieties and

our anger, as if Kennedy’s murder exposed some hypocrisy at the heart of the American

dream,” he writes. Focusing on the period leading up to this major turning point in U.S. his-

tory, Olesker looks to the individuals living through the changes that were just beginning to

surface and would later come to prominence in the sixties.

“A highly readable local history lesson on the good, the bad, and the ugly of life here in the extremely edgy city of Baltimore, Maryland. Michael Olesker digs deep and his scathing, alarming, and sometimes hilarious reporting of our past asks the question—have we come a long way in fifty years or are our race and class issues still scarily the same?” —John Waters

GAP YEARHow Delaying College Changes People in Ways the World Needs

JOSEPH O’SHEA

With some of the most prestigious universities in America now urging students to defer

admissions so they can experience the world, the idea of the gap year has taken hold in

America. Since its development in Britain nearly fifty years ago, taking time off between

secondary school and college has allowed students the opportunity to travel, develop crucial

life skills, and grow up, all while doing volunteer work in much needed parts of the develop-

ing world.

Until now, there has been no systematic study of how the gap year helps students

develop as young scholars and citizens. Joseph O’Shea has produced the first empirically

based analysis of how the gap year influences student development. He also establishes

a context for better understanding this personal development and suggests concrete ways

universities and educators can develop effective gap year programs.

The first study of how the gap year can make young people more effective students and better citizens.

“O’Shea asks whether gap years are worthwhile with gusto and authority. His rich qualitative approach, packed with student interviews, provides ample evidence that the answer is ‘Yes.’ That year, done well, can be a springboard to college success by giving students strength, grit, confidence, inspiration, knowledge, curiosity, empathy, and more.”

THE SCIENCE OF OCEAN WAVESRipples, Tsunamis, and Stormy Seas

J. B. ZIRKER

“Powerful ocean waves fascinate the public, and they have made a lot of news lately.” With

that indisputable observation, scientist J. B. Zirker takes off on a whirlwind tour of the world

of waves—from the “ordinary” waves that constantly churn the sea to the rogues or freaks

that can rise up seemingly from nowhere to heights of 20 meters or more . . . and everything

in between.

The Science of Ocean Waves explains in accessible language how waves are formed,

how they move, how they become huge and destructive, and how they’re being studied

now for clues that will help us plan for the future.

Drawing on some of the recent storms that have devastated entire regions—such as

Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami launched by the 2004 Sumatran earthquake, and the great

tsunami that crushed the shore of Japan in 2011—Zirker explains the forces that cause

these monster waves and reveals the toll they take on human lives.

Enhanced by more than 45 illustrations and a comprehensive glossary, The Science of

Ocean Waves will fascinate anyone curious about the science behind the headlines.

An unparalleled introduction to the amazing world of ocean waves.

THE HOUSING BOMBWhy Our Addiction to Houses Is Destroying the Environment and Threatening Our Society

M. NILS PETERSON, TARLA RAI PETERSON, and JIANGUO LIU

Have we built our way to ruin? Is your desire for that beach house or cabin in the woods

part of the environmental crisis? Do you really need a bigger home? Why don’t multiple gen-

erations still live under one roof? In The Housing Bomb, leading environmental researchers

M. Nils Peterson, Tarla Rai Peterson, and Jianguo Liu sound the alarm, explaining how and

why our growing addiction to houses has taken the humble American dream and twisted it

into an environmental and societal nightmare.

“In this compelling book we are shown the destructive folly of humanity’s insa-tiable appetite for bigger and bigger homes, and for second and third homes, a largely unrecognized factor in the human environmental predicament. Regardless of the negative impact on our life-support systems, too many of us view the home not as a comfortable necessity of life but as a symbol of our status and success. On every page of this book, however, we learn the terrible consequences for our future if this symbiosis of individual vanity and short-term, short-sighted govern-ment policy is not interrupted. These authors, descendants of Cassandra, are ignored at our peril.”

LIGHTS ON!The Science of Power Generation

MARK DENNY

Mark Denny takes us on a fun tour, examining the nature of energy, tracing the history of

power generation, explaining the processes from production through transmission to use,

and addressing questions that are currently in the headlines such as:

• Isnaturalgasthebestalternativeenergysourceinthenearterm?

• Couldsolarpowerbetheanswertoallourproblems?

• Whyisnuclearpowersuchahardsell,andaretheconcernsvalid?

Devoting individual chapters to each of the sources of power—electrical, coal, oil and

natural gas, hydro, nuclear, and solar—Denny explains the pros and cons of each, their avail-

ability worldwide, and which are in dwindling supply. Making clear that his approach is that of

“a scientist and engineer, not a politician or businessman,” Denny addresses environmental

concerns by providing information to help readers understand the science and engineering

of power generation so they can discuss contemporary energy issues from an informed

perspective.

SPARK FROM THE DEEPHow Shocking Experiments with Strongly Electric Fish Powered Scientific Discovery

WILLIAM J. TURKEL

Spark from the Deep tells the story of how human beings came to understand and use elec-

tricity by studying the evolved mechanisms of strongly electric fish. These animals have the

ability to shock potential prey or would-be predators with high-powered electrical discharges.

William J. Turkel asks fresh questions about the evolutionary, environmental, and his-

torical aspects of people’s interest in electric fish. Stimulated by painful encounters with

electric catfish, torpedos, and electric eels, people learned to harness the power of electric

shock for medical therapies and eventually developed technologies to store, transmit, and

control electricity. Now we look to these fish as an inspiration for engineering new sensors,

computer interfaces, autonomous undersea robots, and energy-efficient batteries.

“Turkel has a very imaginative and bold central proposition: that acquain-tance with electric fishes is connected to the harnessing of electricity. He is able to bounce around among piscine evolution, plate tectonics, electromag-netism, the history of science, and much else with ease and aplomb. I can imagine a prize-winning book here.”

PACIF ISTS IN CHAINSThe Persecution of Hutterites during the Great War

DUANE C. S. STOLTZFUS

To Hutterites and members of other peace churches, serving the military in any way goes

against the biblical commandment “thou shalt not kill” and Jesus’s admonition to turn the

other cheek when confronted with violence. Pacifists in Chains tells the story of four young

men—Joseph Hofer, Michael Hofer, David Hofer, and Jacob Wipf—who followed these

beliefs and refused to perform military service in World War I. The men paid a steep price

for their resistance, imprisoned in Alcatraz and Fort Leavenworth, where the two youngest

died. The Hutterites buried the men as martyrs, citing mistreatment.

Using archival material, letters from the four men and others imprisoned during the war,

and interviews with their descendants, Duane C. S. Stoltzfus explores the tension between

a country preparing to enter into a world war and a people whose history of martyrdom for

their pacifist beliefs goes back to their sixteenth-century Reformation beginnings.

“Pacifists in Chains is a well-told and carefully documented account . . . Stoltzfus’s book shows the way that religious faith may substantively inform not only the opinions but also the practices of persons who choose to express their love of country in nonviolent ways during times of war. The study is particularly relevant in pointing out the way that even democratic governments often punish those who hold divergent perspectives.” —Rod Janzen, Fresno Pacific University

MARROW OF TRAGEDYThe Health Crisis of the American Civil War

MARGARET HUMPHREYS

The Civil War was the greatest health disaster the United States has ever experienced,

killing more than a million Americans and leaving many others injured or grieving. Poorly

prepared to care for wounded and sick soldiers as the war began, Union and Confederate

governments scrambled to provide doctoring and nursing, supplies, and shelter for those

felled by warfare or disease.

During the war soldiers suffered from measles, dysentery, and pneumonia and needed

both preventive and curative food and medicine. Family members—especially women—and

governments mounted organizational and support efforts, while army doctors learned to

standardize medical thought and practice. Resources in the north helped return soldiers to

battle, while Confederate soldiers suffered hunger and other privations and healed more

slowly, when they healed at all.

In telling the stories of soldiers, families, physicians, nurses, and administrators, historian

Margaret Humphreys concludes that medical science was not as limited at the beginning

of the war as has been portrayed. Medicine and public health clearly advanced during the

war—and continued to do so after military hostilities ceased.

”If there is one study that shows us the significance of sickness in the Civil War, and the attempts to define and counter it, this is it. With admirable scholarship and an eye for key turning points, Humphreys has written a compelling history of the war’s medical costs and achievements.” —Steven M. Stowe, Indiana University

LICENSED TO PRACTICEThe Supreme Court Defines the American Medical Profession

JAMES C. MOHR

Licensed to Practice begins with an 1891 shooting in Wheeling, West Virginia, that left one

doctor dead and another on trial for his life. Formerly close friends, the doctors had fallen out

over the issue of medical licensing. Historian James C. Mohr calls the murder “a sorry per-

sonal consequence of the far larger and historically significant battle among West Virginia’s

physicians over the future of their profession.”

Through most of the nineteenth century, anyone could call themselves a doctor and

could practice medicine on whatever basis they wished. An 1889 Supreme Court case, Dent

v. West Virginia, effectively transformed medical practice in the U.S. from an unregulated

occupation to a legally recognized profession. The political and legal battles that led up to the

decision were unusually bitter—especially among physicians themselves—and the outcome

was far from a foregone conclusion.

So-called Regular physicians wanted to impose their own standards on the wide-open

medical marketplace in which they and such non-Regulars as Thomsonians, Botanics,

Hydropaths, Homeopaths, and Eclectics competed. The Regulars achieved their goal by

persuading the state legislature to make it a crime for anyone to practice without a license

from the Board of Health, which they controlled. When the high court approved that arrange-

ment—despite constitutional challenges—the licensing precedents established in West

Virginia became the bedrock on which the modern American medical structure was built.

How did American doctors come to be licensed on the terms we now take for granted?

ANXIETYA Short History

ALLAN V. HORWITZ

More people today report feeling anxious than ever before—even while living in relatively

safe and prosperous modern societies. Almost one in five people experiences an anxiety

disorder each year, and more than a quarter of the population admits to an anxiety condition

at some point in their lives. Here Allan V. Horwitz, a sociologist of mental illness and mental

health, narrates how this condition has been experienced, understood, and treated through

the ages—from Hippocrates, through Freud, to today.

Anxiety is rooted in an ancient part of the brain, and our ability to be anxious is inher-

ited from species far more ancient than humans. Anxiety is often adaptive: it enables us

to respond to threats. But when normal fear yields to what psychiatry categorizes as anxi-

ety disorders, it becomes maladaptive. As Horwitz explores the history and multiple identi-

ties of anxiety—melancholia, nerves, neuroses, phobias, and so on—it becomes clear that

every age has had its own anxieties and that culture plays a role in shaping how anxiety

is expressed.

“A wise guide through the historical path of anxiety conceptualizations.”

THE PKU PARADOXA Short History of a Genetic Disease

DIANE B. PAUL and JEFFREY P. BROSCO

PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder that causes severe cognitive impairment if it is

not detected and treated with a strict and difficult diet. In a lifetime of practice, most physi-

cians will never encounter a single case of PKU, yet every physician in the industrialized

world learns about the disease in medical school and, since the early 1960s, the newborn

heel stick test for PKU has been mandatory in many countries. Diane B. Paul and Jeffrey P.

Brosco’s beautifully written book explains this paradox.

In this first general history of PKU, a historian and a pediatrician explore how a rare ge-

netic disease became the object of an unprecedented system for routine testing. The PKU

Paradox is informed by interviews with scientists, clinicians, policy makers, and individuals

who live with the disease. The questions it raises touch on ongoing controversies about

newborn screening and what happens to blood samples collected at birth.

“A highly compelling story about a successful medical intervention—literally life changing—that has also had unintended consequences. This study is extremely relevant to contemporary genomic medicine.”

—M. Susan Lindee, University of Pennsylvania

THE STORY WITHINPersonal Essays on Genetics and Identity

edited by AMY BOESKY

In The Story Within, authors share powerful experiences of living with genetic disorders.

Their stories illustrate the complexities involved in making decisions about genetic diseases:

whether to be tested, who to tell, whether to have children, and whether and how to treat

children medically, if treatment is available. More broadly, they consider how genetic infor-

mation shapes the ways we see ourselves, the world, and our actions within it.

People affected by genetic disease respond to such choices in varied and personal

ways. These writers reflect that breadth of response, yet they share the desire to challenge

a restricted sense of what “health” is or whose life has value. They write hoping to ex-

pand conversations about genetics and identity—to deepen debate and generate questions.

Whether they or their families are affected by Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease,

cancer, genetic deafness or blindness, schizophrenia, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, hypertro-

phic cardiomyopathy, fragile X, or Fanconi anemia, their stories remind us that genetic health

is complicated, dynamic, and above all, deeply personal.

A thought-provoking collection of personal essays explores complex issues surrounding genetic identity.

A RAILROAD ATLAS OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1946Volume 5: Iowa and Minnesota

RICHARD C. CARPENTER

The fifth volume of A Railroad Atlas of the United States in 1946 provides a comprehensive

record of the railroad system as it existed in Iowa and Minnesota in 1946—the apex of

America’s post-war rail network, when steam locomotives still dominated and passenger

trains stopped at towns all along the rail lines. Eventually railroad mergers, the automobile,

and the airplane changed what many viewed as the world’s premier rail system.

Richard C. Carpenter’s hand-drawn color maps depict in precise detail the various trunk

and secondary railroad lines that served scores of towns while indicating such features as

long-since-demolished coaling stations, towns that functioned solely as places where crews

were changed, tunnels, viaducts, and especially interlocking stations.

Praise for previous volumes

“Carpenter continues his admirable effort to map American railroads in the im-mediate postwar era . . . The work is meticulous, the maps are clear and beautifully reproduced, and the resulting volume is a genuine research tool as opposed to a simple picture book.” —Railroad History

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODAn Anthology of Nineteenth-Century American Children’s Poetry

edited by KAREN L. KILCUP and ANGELA SORBY

Over the River and Through the Wood is the first and only collection of its kind, offering

readers a sweeping view of this diverse field. Most nineteenth-century American poets

wrote for children—from famous names such as Ralph Waldo Emerson to less familiar

figures like Christina Moody, an African American author who published her first book at

sixteen. In its quality, significance, and abundance, much of this work rivals or surpasses

poetry written for adults, yet it has languished—inaccessible and unread—in old periodicals,

gift books, and primers. This groundbreaking anthology remedies that loss, presenting ma-

terial that is both critical to the tradition of American poetry and also a delight to read.

Complemented by period illustrations, this definitive anthology includes work by poets

from all geographical regions, as well as rarely seen poems by immigrant and ethnic writers

and by children themselves. Karen L. Kilcup and Angela Sorby have combed the archives

to present an extensive selection of rediscoveries along with traditional favorites. By turns

playful, contemplative, humorous, and subversive, these poems appeal to modern sensibili-

ties while giving scholars a revised picture of the nineteenth-century literary landscape.

LURE OF THE ARCANEThe Literature of Cult and Conspiracy

THEODORE ZIOLKOWSKI

Fascination with the arcane is a driving force in this comprehensive survey of conspiracy

fiction. Theodore Ziolkowski traces the evolution of cults, orders, lodges, secret societ-

ies, and conspiracies through various literary manifestations—drama, romance, epic, novel,

opera—down to the thrillers of the twenty-first century.

Lure of the Arcane considers Euripides’s Bacchae, Andreae’s Chymical Wedding,

Mozart’s The Magic Flute, and Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum, among other seminal works.

Mimicking the genre’s quest-driven narrative arc, the reader searches for the significance of

conspiracy fiction and is rewarded with the author’s cogent reflections in the final chapter.

After much investigation, Ziolkowski reinforces Umberto Eco’s notion that the most power-

ful secret, the magnetic center of conspiracy fiction, is in fact “a secret without content.”

“This is an excellent book, an original and substantial contribution. I would expect it to find many readers, not just among fellow scholars. Since conspiracy, and con-spiracy fiction, is a hot topic, I could imagine this book being invaluable as a guide to a university course that sought to place Umberto Eco and Dan Brown in their long-term intellectual context.” —Ritchie Robertson, St. John’s College, Oxford

BEING COOLThe Work of Elmore Leonard

CHARLES J. RZEPKA

Widely known as the crime fiction writer whose work led to the movies Get Shorty and

Out of Sight, Elmore Leonard has a special knack for creating cool characters, which for

him means characters who are good at what they do. The dope dealers, bookies, grifters,

financial advisers, talent agents, shady attorneys, hookers, models, and crooked cops of

Leonard’s world may be nefarious, but they are generally confident, skilled, and composed,

and they cope without effort or thought.

In Being Cool, Charles Rzepka draws on more than twelve hours of personal interviews

with Leonard and applies what he learned to his close analysis of Leonard’s long life and

prodigious output: 45 published novels, 39 published and unpublished short stories, and

numerous essays written over the course of six decades.

Leonard’s writing methods and style epitomize how he conceives “being cool.”

Rzepka delineates the stages and patterns that characterize the author’s creative evo-

lution. Like jazz greats, Leonard forged an individual style immediately recognizable

for its voice and rhythm, including his characters’ rat-a-tat recitations, curt backhands,

and ragged trains of thought. Taking being cool as the highway through Leonard’s life

and works, Rzepka finds plenty of byways to explore along the way.

“Rzepka uncovers interesting patterns that link the individual works and identifies connections between incidents in Leonard’s life and his fiction. This is an important work on an important writer.”

—David Geherin, Eastern Michigan University



THE LOUSY ADULTstories by WILLIAM J. COBB

In The Lousy Adult, William J. Cobb reveals a world where love and respect collide with

achievement and desire, a world where people often get what they want, yet must pay the

price of alienation, remorse, and retribution in order to obtain it.

In “The Sea Horse,” a teenage boy defends a battered woman against her abusive

husband while he deals with the loss of his own parents. In “Warsaw, 1984,” a young man

travels through Europe and ends up in a relationship in a country he can’t understand. The

Lousy Adult presents ten short stories about defrocked priests, guilty electricians, hardened

mothers, and other colorful characters who portray the complexity of the human race.

Praise for William J. Cobb’s The Fire Eaters

“Cobb’s short stories, printed in the New Yorker and other magazines, hinted at the power he displays in this beautifully controlled and convincing debut, winner of the 1992 Associated Writing Programs award for the novel.” —Publishers Weekly

MATTERS OF FACT IN JANE AUSTENHistory, Location, and Celebrity

JANINE BARCHAS

“This is easily one of the most important books on Austen published in recent years, a must read. Thanks to fantastic volumes like this one . . . Austen’s books are finally being read and reassessed in the context of their times and are no longer given the backhanded compliment of being called ‘timeless’ . . . Essential.” —Choice

“Matters of Fact in Jane Austen is unlike any previous work of Austen criticism, both in its attention to minute historical detail and in its pioneering claims . . . [it] is meticu-lously researched, beautifully written, highly original, and unquestionably timely. It ought to stimulate not just rousing arguments but provoke, too, further historically attuned Austen scholarship.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

“This is a book whose charm and clarity easily overcome any initial resistance one might have to its central claim that Austen’s work actively partakes in what histori-ans now call ‘celebrity culture’ . . . One of Barchas’s most surprising—and ultimate-ly convincing—claims is that Austen, like James Joyce after her, ‘not only names her fictional characters with uncanny historical precision but maps them with equal care through historical settings’. She illustrates this with careful attention to Austen’s own historical reading and letters, prints of contemporary maps, portraits and country houses.” —Times Literary Supplement

“An excellent example of a truly interdisciplinary approach to literary criticism.”—Review of English Studies

fessor of English at the University of Texas,

REMAKING COLLEGEInnovation and the Liberal Arts College

edited by REBECCA CHOPP, SUSAN FROST, and DANIEL H. WEISS

Residential liberal arts colleges maintain a unique place in the

landscape of American higher education. These schools are char-

acterized by broad-based curricula, small class size, and interaction

between students and faculty. Aimed at developing students’ intel-

lectual literacy and critical-thinking skills rather than specific profes-

sional preparation, the value proposition made by these colleges has

recently come under intense pressure. Remaking College brings

together a large and distinguished group of higher education leaders

to define the American liberal arts model, to describe the challenges

these institutions face, and to propose sustainable solutions.

“This collection of essays by presidents and other leaders in higher education is both clear-sighted about challenges fac-ing small, liberal arts colleges and also inspiring for the ways in which it clearly illustrates both the great flexibility of the sector and the deeply held values that fuel its continuing cre-ativity.” —S. Georgia Nugent, president, Kenyon College

“This is an important book for people interested in how one of America’s most successful organizational designs can continue to be a key contributor to national success in the decades ahead.”

—Michael Crow, president, Arizona State University

“John Lombardi has always looked at higher education through the opposite end of the telescope. In How Universities Work he urges us to think differently and to engage disruptive ideas. This is a must-read for those who wish to see the American university regain its leadership role in this ce ntury.”

PRESIDENCIES DERAILEDWhy University Leaders Fail and How to Prevent It

STEPHEN JOEL TRACHTENBERG, GERALD B. KAUVAR, and E. GRADY BOGUE

University presidents have become as expendable as football coaches—one bad season,

scandal, or political or financial misstep and they are sent packing. These high-profile ap-

pointments are increasingly scrutinized by faculty, administrators, alumni, and the media,

and problems are discussed all too publicly. A combination of constrained resources and

a new trend toward hiring from outside of academia results in tensions between govern-

ing boards and presidents that can erupt quickly. Sometimes presidents are dismissed for

performance, financial, or institutional “fit” reasons, but there are nearly always political rea-

sons as well. Presidencies Derailed is the first book to explore the reasons why university

presidencies fail and how university and college leadership can prevent these unfortunate

situations.

Personal testimonies from “derailed” university presidents and case

studies show how good presidencies go bad. Stephen Joel Trachtenberg,

Gerald B. Kauvar, and E. Grady Bogue organize, classify, and explain pat-

terns of leadership failures and offer key advice on how institutions, their

boards, and their leaders can avoid these acrimonious battles.

“Without qualification, this book is and will remain the classic on why university presidents succeed or fail. Not to mention the lessons also apply to all top leadership!”

—Warren Bennis, University of Southern California

How do some university presidents “lose their way,” and why are their consequential dismissals given so much media attention?

THE NIGHT BATTLESWitchcraft and Agrarian Cults in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

CARLO GINZBURG

with a new preface translated by John and Anne C. Tedeschi

Based on research in the Inquisitorial archives of Northern Italy, The

Night Battles recounts the story of a peasant fertility cult centered

on the benandanti, literally, “good walkers.” These men and women

described fighting extraordinary ritual battles against witches and

wizards in order to protect their harvests. While their bodies slept,

the souls of the benandanti were able to fly into the night sky to

engage in epic spiritual combat for the good of the village. Carlo

Ginzburg looks at how the Inquisition’s officers interpreted these

tales to support their world view that the peasants were in fact prac-

ticing sorcery. The result of this cultural clash, which lasted for more

than a century, was the slow metamorphosis of the benandati into

the Inquisition’s mortal enemies—witches.

In his new preface, Ginzburg reflects on the interplay of chance

and discovery, as well as on the relationship between anomalous

cultural notions and historical generalizations.

“A work of genuine intellectual distinction. It is an unusually original contribution to the study of witchcraft in early mod-ern Europe, but its importance is far from being exhausted by that description.” —New York Review of Books

CLUES, MYTHS, AND THE HISTORICAL METHODCARLO GINZBURG


More than twenty years after Clues, Myths, and the Historical

Method was first published in English, this extraordinary collection

remains a classic. The book brings together essays about Renais-

sance witchcraft, National Socialism, sixteenth-century Italian paint-

ing, Freud’s wolf-man, and other topics. In the influential centerpiece

of the volume Carlo Ginzburg places historical knowledge in a long

tradition of cognitive practices and shows how a research strategy

based on reading clues and traces embedded in the historical record

reveals otherwise hidden information.

In his new preface, Ginzburg reflects on how we easily miss

the context in which we read, write and live. Only hindsight allows

some understanding. He examines his own path in research during

the 1970s and its relationship to the times, especially the political

scenes of Italy and Germany.

“Ginzburg is known internationally for his studies of what might be called the interface between learned and popular culture. This collection of eight essays explores the method-ological foundations of his historical analysis.”

THE CHEESE AND THE WORMSThe Cosmos of a Sixteenth-Century Miller

CARLO GINZBURG


The Cheese and the Worms is an incisive study of popular culture in the sixteenth century

as seen through the eyes of one man, the miller known as Menocchio, who was accused of

heresy during the Inquisition and sentenced to death. Carlo Ginzburg uses the trial records

to illustrate the confusing political and religious conditions of the time.

Ginzburg’s influential book book has been widely regarded as an early example of

the analytic, case-oriented approach known as microhistory. In a thoughtful new preface,

Ginzburg offers his own corollary to Menocchio’s story as he considers the discrepancy be-

tween the intentions of the writer and what gets written. The miller’s story and Ginzburg’s

work continue to resonate with modern readers because they focus on how oral and writ-

ten culture are inextricably linked. Menocchio’s 500-year-old challenge to authority remains

evocative and vital today.

“A wonderful book . . . Ginzburg is a historian with an insatiable curiosity who pursues even the faintest of clues with all the zest of a born detective until every fragment of evidence can be fitted into place.” —New York Review of Books

The now-classic tale of a sixteenth-century miller facing the Roman Inquisition.

NEW WORLDS FOR ALLIndians, Europeans, and the Remaking of Early America

second editionCOLIN G. CALLOWAY

Although many Americans consider the establishment of the colonies as the birth of this

country, in fact early America existed long before the arrival of the Europeans. From coast

to coast, Native Americans had created enduring cultures, and the subsequent European

invasion remade much of the land and society. In New Worlds for All, Colin G. Calloway

explores the unique and vibrant new cultures that Indians and Europeans forged together

in early America. The journey toward this hybrid society kept Europeans’ and Indians’ lives

tightly entwined: living, working, worshiping, traveling, and trading together—as well as fear-

ing, avoiding, despising, and killing one another. In some areas, settlers lived in Indian towns,

eating Indian food. In the Mohawk Valley, New York, Europeans tattooed their faces; Indians

drank tea. A unique American identity emerged.

The second edition of New Worlds for All incorporates fifteen years of additional

scholarship on Indian-European relations, such as the role of gender, Indian slavery,

relationships with African Americans, and new understandings of frontier society.


“Calloway employs lucid prose and captivating examples to remind us that neither Indians nor Colonists were a monolithic group . . . The result is a more nuanced appreciation for the complexity of cultural relationships in Colonial America.” —Christian Science Monitor

The American Moment Stanley I. Kutler, Series Editor

The interactions between Indians and Europeans changed America—and both cultures.

PRELUDE TO REVOLUTIONThe Salem Gunpowder Raid of 1775

PETER CHARLES HOFFER

Before colonial Americans could declare independence, they had to undergo a change of

heart. Beyond a desire to rebel against British mercantile and fiscal policies, they had to

believe that they could stand up to the fully armed British soldier. Prelude to Revolution

uncovers one story of how the Americans found that confidence.

On April 19, 1775, British raids on Lexington Green and Concord Bridge made history,

but it was an episode nearly two months earlier in Salem, Massachusetts, that set the stage

for the hostilities. Peter Charles Hoffer has discovered records and newspaper accounts

of a British gunpowder raid on Salem. Seeking powder and cannon hidden in the town, a

regiment of British Regulars were foiled by quick-witted patriots who carried off the ordi-

nance and then openly taunted the Regulars. The prudence of British commanding officer

Alexander Leslie and the persistence of the patriot leaders turned a standoff into a bloodless

triumph for the colonists. What might have been a violent confrontation turned into a local

victory, and the patriots gloated as news spread of “Leslie’s Retreat.”

When British troops marched on Lexington and Concord on that pivotal day in April,

Hoffer explains, each side had drawn diametrically opposed lessons from the Salem raid. It

emboldened the rebels to stand fast and infuriated the British, who vowed never again to

back down. After relating these battles in vivid detail, Hoffer provides a teachable problem in

historic memory by asking why we celebrate Lexington and Concord but not Salem and why

New Englanders recalled the events at Salem but then forgot their significance

CHASING SOUNDTechnology, Culture, and the Art of Studio Recording from Edison to the LP

SUSAN SCHMIDT HORNING

In Chasing Sound, Susan Schmidt Horning traces the cultural and technological evolution of

recording studios in the United States from the first practical devices to the modern multi-

track studios of the analog era. Charting the technical development of studio equipment, the

professionalization of recording engineers, and the growing collaboration between artists

and technicians, she shows how the earliest efforts to capture the sound of live performanc-

es eventually resulted in a trend toward studio creations that extended beyond live shows,

ultimately reversing the historic relationship between live and recorded sound.

A former performer herself, Schmidt Horning draws from a wealth of original oral

interviews with major labels and independent recording engineers, producers, arrangers,

and musicians, as well as memoirs, technical journals, popular accounts, and sound record-

ings. Recording engineers and producers, she finds, influenced technological and musical

change as they sought to improve the sound of records. By investigating the complex rela-

tionship between sound engineering and popular music, she reveals the increasing reliance

on technological intervention in the creation as well as in the reception of music. The record-

ing studio, she argues, is at the center of musical culture in the twentieth century.

EINSTEIN’S BERLINIn the Footsteps of a Genius

DIETER HOFFMANN

Lured by a top academic position sponsored by the Prussian Academy of Sciences,

Albert Einstein moved from Zurich to Berlin in 1914 and lived there until 1932, just weeks

before Hitler became chancellor of Germany. During this fraught economic and political

time, Einstein developed the general theory of relativity, gained worldwide fame, supported

democratic, socialist, pacifist, and Zionist causes, and withstood the growing ire of ultrana-

tionalists.

Naturally, he became entwined in a network of people and places throughout the city.

With a foreword by Nobel Prize winner Walter Kohn, Einstein’s Berlin combines narrative,

maps, and period photographs to tell this story in the form of a sophisticated, annotated city

guide, allowing readers and travelers to follow the physicist’s footsteps throughout Berlin.

Dieter Hoffmann conveys how Einstein’s life and work were linked to the scientific and

social life of the city and inspires the reader to explore the places where he made his mark.

Track Albert Einstein’s life in Berlin with this unique guide.

LITERATURE IN THE ASHES OF HISTORYCATHY CARUTH

Cathy Caruth juxtaposes the writings of psychoanalysts, literary and political theorists, and

literary authors who write in a century faced by a new kind of history, one that is made up

of events that seem to undo, rather than produce, their own remembrance. At the heart of

each chapter is the enigma of a history that, in its very unfolding, seems to be slipping away

before our grasp.

What does it mean for history to disappear? And what does it mean to speak of a his-

tory that disappears? These questions, Caruth suggests, lie at the center of the psychoana-

lytic texts that frame this book, as well as the haunting stories and theoretical arguments

that resonate with each other in profound and surprising ways. In the writings of Honoré

de Balzac, Hannah Arendt, Ariel Dorfman, Wilhelm Jensen, Sigmund Freud, and Jacques

Derrida, we encounter, across different stakes and different languages, a variety of narra-

tives that bear witness not simply to the past but also to the pasts we have not known and

that repeatedly return us to a future that remains beyond imagination.

These stories of trauma cannot be limited to the catastrophes they name, and the

theory of catastrophic history may ultimately be written in a language that already lingers in

a time that comes to us from the other side of the disaster.

“It is rewarding and immensely exciting to follow the twists and turns of Caruth’s brilliant and endlessly surprising arguments.”

—Michael G. Levine, Rutgers University

HOW LITERATURE PLAYS WITH THE BRAINThe Neuroscience of Reading and Art

PAUL B. ARMSTRONG

“Literature matters,” says Paul B. Armstrong, “for what it reveals about human experience,

and the very different perspective of neuroscience on how the brain works is part of that

story.” In How Literature Plays with the Brain, Armstrong examines the parallels between

certain features of literary experience and functions of the brain. His central argument is

that literature plays with the brain through experiences of harmony and dissonance which

set in motion oppositions that are fundamental to the neurobiology of mental functioning.

These oppositions negotiate basic tensions in the operation of the brain between the drive

for pattern, synthesis, and constancy and the need for flexibility, adaptability, and openness

to change.

The challenge, Armstrong argues, is to account for the ability of readers to find in-

commensurable meanings in the same text, for example, or to take pleasure in art that is

harmonious or dissonant, symmetrical or distorted, unified or discontinuous and disruptive.

How Literature Plays with the Brain is the first book to use the resources of neurosci-

ence and phenomenology to analyze aesthetic experience. For the neuroscientific com-

munity, the study suggests that different areas of research—the neurobiology of vision and

reading, the brain-body interactions underlying emotions—may be connected to a variety of

aesthetic and literary phenomena. For critics and students of literature, the study engages

fundamental questions within the humanities: What is aesthetic experience? What happens

when we read a literary work? How does the interpretation of literature relate to other ways

of knowing?

An original interdisciplinary study positioned at the intersection of literary theory and neuroscience.

PAUL B. ARMSTRONG is a professor of

English at Brown University. He is author of several

books, including Conflicting Readings: Variety and

Validity in Interpretation and Play and the Politics of

Reading: The Social Uses of Modernist Form.

Stanley Cavell is widely recognized as one of America’s most important contemporary

philosophers. His writings have attracted considerable attention among literary critics and

theorists. Stanley Cavell and the Claim of Literature is the first monograph to comprehen-

sively address the importance of literature in Cavell’s philosophy, and, in turn, the potential

effect of his philosophy on contemporary literary criticism.

David Rudrum dedicates a chapter to each of the principal writers that occupy Cavell,

including Shakespeare, Thoreau, Beckett, Wordsworth, Ibsen, and Poe, and incorporates

chapters on tragedy, skepticism, ethics, and politics. Through detailed analysis of these

works, Rudrum explores Cavell’s ideas on the nature of reading; the relationships between

literary language, ordinary language, and performative language; the status of authors and

characters; the link between tragedy and ethics; and the nature of political conversation in

a democracy.

Rudrum casts a wide net that Cavell scholars as well as people interested in the

philosophy of tragedy, aesthetics, and literary skepticism will find compelling.

“This is an original and exciting book, true to Cavell’s trailblazing work in the Emersonian categories both of instruction and of provocation.”

—William Flesch, Brandeis University

Addresses the importance of literature in the work of one of America’s most important contemporary philosophers.

BLACK SOUNDSCAPES WHITE STAGESThe Meaning of Francophone Sound in the Black Atlantic

EDWIN C. HILL JR.

Black Soundscapes White Stages explores the role of sound in understanding the African

Diaspora on both sides of the Atlantic, from the City of Light to the islands of the French

Antilles. From the writings of European travelers in the seventeenth century to short-wave

radio transmissions in the early twentieth century, Edwin C. Hill Jr. uses music, folk song,

film, and poetry to listen for the tragic cri nègre.

Building a conceptualization of black Atlantic sound inspired by Frantz Fanon’s pio-

neering work on colonial speech and desire, Hill contends that sound constitutes a terrain

of contestation, both violent and pleasurable, where colonial and anti-colonial ideas about

race and gender are critically imagined, inscribed, explored, and resisted. In the process,

this book explores the dreams and realizations of black diasporic mobility and separation as

represented by some of its most powerful soundtexts and cultural practitioners, and it poses

questions about their legacies for us today.

“Hill breaks new ground in the field of Francophone studies with his nuanced intersection of film studies, musicology, and literary criticism. His analyses of the musical form the biguine and the poetry of Léon-Gontran Damas, probably the least studied of the major Negritude poets, are especially important. An engaging, enlightening read.” —Jennifer Margaret Wilks, University of Texas at Austin

The Callaloo African Diaspora Series Charles Rowelll, Series Editor

MY SILVER PLANETA Secret History of Poetry and Kitsch

DANIEL TIFFANY

My Silver Planet (borrowing its title from John Keats) contends that the insoluble problem

of elite poetry’s relation to popular culture bears the indelible stamp of its turbulent incor-

poration of vernacular poetry—a legacy shaped by nostalgia, contempt, and fraudulence.

Daniel Tiffany reactivates and fundamentally redefines the concept of kitsch, freeing it from

modernist misapprehension and ridicule. He excavates the forgotten history of poetry’s rela-

tion to kitsch, beginning with the exuberant revival of archaic (and often spurious) ballads in

Britain in the early eighteenth century.

Tiffany argues that the ballad revival—the earliest formation of what we now call popu-

lar culture—sparked a dubious but seemingly irresistible flirtation with poetic forgery that en-

dures today in the ambiguity of the kitsch artifact: is it real or fake, art or kitsch? He goes on

to trace the genealogy of kitsch in texts ranging from nursery rhymes and poetic melodrama

to the lyric commodities of Baudelaire. He scrutinizes the Fascist “paradise” inscribed in

Ezra Pound’s Cantos, as well as the poetry of the New York School and its debt to pop and

“plastic”art. By exposing and elaborating the historical poetics of kitsch, My Silver Planet

transforms our sense of kitsch as a category of material culture.

“Daniel Tiffany’s My Silver Planet is the most exciting and original book on poetry, indeed one of the most exciting scholarly books on anything, I have read in years.”

—Helen Deutsch, University of California, Los Angeles

Reveals the hidden relationship between kitsch and poetry from the eighteenth century to the present.

EXPERIMENTAL L IFEVitalism in Romantic Science and Literature

ROBERT MITCHELL

If the objective of the Romantic movement was nothing less than

to redefine the meaning of life itself, what role did experiments play

in this movement? While earlier scholarship has established both

the importance of science generally and vitalism specifically, with

regard to Romanticism no study has investigated what it meant for

artists to experiment and how those experiments related to their

interest in the concept of life.

Experimental Life draws on approaches and ideas from con-

temporary science studies, proposing the concept of experimental

vitalism to show both how Romantic authors appropriated the con-

cept of experimentation from the sciences and the impact of their

appropriation for post-Romantic concepts of literature and art.

“A superb and outstandingly researched study.”—Denise Gigante, Stanford University

the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Science and Cultural

Theory at Duke University. He is author of Sympathy and the State

FROM LITTLE LONDON TO L ITTLE BENGALReligion, Print, and Modernity in Early British India, 1793–1835

DANIEL E. WHITE

From Little London to Little Bengal traces the traffic between Britain

and India during the Romantic period. To some, Calcutta appeared

to be a “Little London,” while in London itself an Indianized commu-

nity of returned expatriates was emerging as “Little Bengal.” Circling

between the two, this study reads British and Indian literary, religious,

and historical sources alongside physical artifacts, newspapers, pan-

oramas, religious festivals, idols, and museum exhibitions. Together

and apart, Britons and Bengalis waged a transcultural agon under the

dynamic conditions of early nineteenth-century imperialism, strug-

gling to claim cosmopolitan perspectives and, in the process, to define

modernity.

“It is a richly rewarding book in its attention to significant detail, its subtle and imaginative use of theory, and its master-ful negotiation of the archive. To write a book at once deeply scholarly and thoroughly readable is no easy task, but this is what Daniel White has superbly achieved.”

—Mike Franklin, Swansea University

Romanticism in the Department of English and Drama

LITERARY ADVERTISING AND THE SHAPING OF BRITISH ROMANTICISMNICHOLAS MASON

Literary Advertising and the Shaping of British Romanticism investigates the entwined histo-

ries of the advertising industry and the gradual commodification of literature over the course

of the Romantic Century (1750–1850). In this well-written and detailed study, Nicholas Mason

argues that the seemingly antagonistic arenas of marketing and literature share a common

genealogy and, in many instances, even a symbiotic relationship.

Drawing from archival materials such as publisher account books, merchant trade cards,

and author letters, Mason traces the beginnings of many modern advertising methods—

including product placement, limited-time offers, and journalistic puffery—to the British

book trade during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Until now, Romantic scholars

have not fully recognized advertising’s cultural significance or the importance of this period

in the origins of modern advertising. Mason explores Lord Byron’s appropriation of branding,

Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s experiments in visual marketing, and late-Romantic debates over

advertising’s claim to be a new branch of the literary arts. Mason uses the antics of Romantic-

era advertising to illustrate the profound implications of commercial modernity, both in

economic practices governing the book trade and, more broadly, in the development of the

modern idea of literature.

“A well-written, thoroughly researched, and impressively argued project. Mason has produced a timely and important addition that will do a great deal to clarify and enrich an already energetic set of debates. This book will become required read-ing for anyone interested in the rich connections between advertising, cultures of modernity, and Romantic literature.” —Paul Keen, Carleton University

THE FAIRY WAY OF WRITINGShakespeare to Tolkien

KEVIN PASK

In The Fairy Way of Writing, Kevin Pask seeks to explain the origins

and popularity of enchantment in Shakespeare’s plays. Writers John

Dryden and Joseph Addison originated the phrase the “fairy way

of writing” to define the concept of an English creative imagination

founded on a synthesis of high literary culture and the popular culture

of tales and superstitions. Beginning with Chaucer, Johnson, Dryden,

and Milton, Pask argues that the fairy way of writing not only sets the

stage for the fairy tale, the Gothic novel, and children’s literature, but

also informs genres beyond the English canon, including French fairy

tales, painting, and twentieth-century fantasy fiction.

The Fairy Way of Writing alters the traditional sense of English

literary history and of Shakespeare’s singular place in it, insisting on

the importance of often-overlooked literary and visual works.

“Pask’s effort to bring the realm of fantasy into academic con-sideration alongside more standard canonical writing is no small achievement.” —Jonathan V. Crewe, Dartmouth College

KEVIN PASK is an associate professor of English at Concordia

University and is author of The Emergence of the English Author:

MUSICA NATURALISSpeculative Music Theory and Poetics, from Saint Augustine to the Late Middle Ages in France

PHILIPP JESERICH

translated by Steven Rendall and Michael J. Curley

Musica Naturalis delivers the first systematic account of specula-

tive music theory as a discursive horizon for literary poetics. The

title refers to the late medieval French poet Eustache Deschamps,

whose 1392 treatise on verse writing, Art de Dictier, famously

casts verse as “natural music” in explicit distinction to song, which

Deschamps defines as “artificial.” Philipp Jeserich begins with

Augustine and Boethius and traces the discourse of speculative

music theory to the late fifteenth century, giving attention to me-

dieval Latin and vernacular sources. By linking the significance of

the speculative branch of medieval musicology to literary theory and

literary production, Jeserich opens up a field of study that has been

largely neglected. Rethinking Theory

was awarded the Elise Richter Prize of the German Association of

PYTHAGOREAN WOMENTheir History and Writings

SARAH B. POMEROY

In Pythagorean Women, classical scholar Sarah B. Pomeroy discusses the groundbreaking

principles that Pythagoras established for family life in Archaic Greece, such as constituting

a single standard of sexual conduct for women and men. Among the Pythagoreans, women

played an important role and participated actively in the philosophical life. While Pythagoras

encouraged women to be submissive to men, his reasoning was based on the desire to

preserve harmony in the home.

Pythagorean Women provides English translations of all the earliest extant examples

of literary Greek prose by Neopythagorean women, shedding light on their attitudes about

marriage, the home, music, and the cosmos. Pomeroy’s book—which sets the Pythagorean

and Neopythagorean women vividly in their historical, ecological, and intellectual contexts—

is illustrated with original photographs of sites and artifacts known to these women.

“A book about Pythagorean women is sorely needed and long overdue. Pomeroy rectifies that situation and could fill large gaps not only in the social history of Pythagoreanism but more generally in the history of the lives of these women, including their intellectual lives.” —Pamela Gordon, University of Kansas

SARAH B. POMEROY is Distinguished

THE ANNALS OF QUINTUS ENNIUS AND THE ITALIC TRADITIONJAY FISHER

Quintus Ennius, often considered the father of Roman poetry, is best

remembered for his epic poem, the Annals, a history of Rome from

Aeneas until his own lifetime. Ennius represents an important bridge

between Homer’s works in Greek and Virgil’s Aeneid. Jay Fisher

argues that Ennius does not simply translate Homeric models into

Latin, but blends Greek poetic models with Italic diction to produce

a poetic hybrid. Fisher’s investigation uncovers a poem that blends

foreign and familiar cultural elements in order to generate layers of

meaning for his Roman audience.

Fisher combines modern linguistic methodologies with tradi-

tional philology in order to uncover the influence of the language

of Roman ritual, kinship, and generalship on the Annals. Moreover,

because these cultural practices are themselves hybrids of earlier

Roman, Etruscan, and Greek cultural practices, not to mention the

cultures of speakers of lesser-known languages such as Oscan and

Umbrian, these echoes of cultural interactions also generated layers

of meaning for Ennius, his ancient audience, and the modern readers

of the fragments of the Annals.

JAY FISHER is an assistant professor of classics at Yale

University.

THE OTHER FOUR PLAYS OF SOPHOCLESAjax, Women of Trachis, Electra, and Philoctetes

SOPHOCLES

translated by David R. Slavitt

There are seven surviving tragedies by Sophocles. Three of them

form the Theban Plays, which recount the story of Thebes during

and after the reign of Oedipus. Here, David Slavitt translates the re-

maining tragedies—the “other four plays:” Ajax, Women of Trachis,

Electra, and Philoctetes.

Punchy and entertaining, Slavitt reads Athena’s opening line in

Ajax as: “I’ve got my eye on you, Odysseus. Always.” By simplifying

the Greek and making obscure designations more accessible—

specifying the character Athena in place of “aegis-wearing goddess,”

for example—his translations are highly performable. The Other Four

Plays of Sophocles will help students discover underlying thematic con-

nections across plays as well.

DAVID R. SLAVITT is a poet, translator, novelist, critic, and jour-

nalist. He is author of more than seventy works of fiction, poetry,

and poetry and drama in translation.

HARRY POTTER AND THE MILLENNIALSResearch Methods and the Politics of the Muggle Generation

ANTHONY GIERZYNSKI

with Kathryn Eddy

Without a doubt, the Harry Potter series has had a powerful effect on the Millennial

Generation. Millions of children grew up immersed in the world of the boy wizard—reading

the books, dressing up in costume to attend midnight book release parties, watching the

movies, even creating and competing in Quidditch tournaments. Beyond what we know of

the popularity of the series, however, nothing has been published on the question of the

Harry Potter effect on the politics of its young readers—now voting adults.

Looking to engage his students in exploring the connections between political opin-

ion and popular culture, Anthony Gierzynski conducted a national survey of more than

1,100 college students. Harry Potter and the Millennials tells the fascinating story of how

the team designed the study and gathered results, what conclusions

can and cannot be drawn about millennial politics, and the challenges

social scientists face in studying political science, sociology, and mass

communication.

“A highly readable treatment of a phenomenon that swept the country and still has considerable presence. To my knowledge, this is the only serious attempt to gauge the political impact of the Harry Potter craze among pre-adults.”

DIGITAL POLITICS IN WESTERN DEMOCRACIESA Comparative Study

CRISTIAN VACCARI

Digital politics is shorthand for how internet technologies have fueled the complex interac-

tions between political actors and their constituents. Cristian Vaccari analyzes the presenta-

tion and consumption of online politics in seven advanced Western democracies—Australia,

France, German, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States—from 2006 to

2010. His study not only refutes claims that the web creates homogenized American-style

politics and political interaction but also empirically reveals how a nation’s constraints and

opportunities create unique digital responses.

Digital Politics in Western Democracies is the first large-scale comparative treatment of

both the supply and demand sides of digital politics among different countries and national

political actors. It is divided into four parts: theoretical challenges and research methodology;

how parties and candidates structure their websites (supply); how citizens use the websites

to access campaign information (demand); and how the research results tie back to inequali-

ties, engagement, and competition in digital politics. Because a key aspect of any political

system is how its actors and citizens communicate, this book will be invaluable for scholars,

students, and practitioners interested in political communication, party competition, party

organization, and the study of the contemporary media landscape writ large.

NATIONAL SECURITY THROUGH A COCKEYED LENSHow Cognitive Bias Impacts U.S. Foreign Policy

STEVE A. YETIV

“How do mental errors or cognitive biases undermine good decision making?” This is the

question Steve A. Yetiv takes up in his latest foreign policy study, National Security through

a Cockeyed Lens.

Yetiv draws on four decades of psychological, historical, and political science research

on cognitive biases to illuminate some of the key pitfalls in our leaders’ decision-making

processes and some of the mental errors we make in perceiving ourselves and the world.

Tracing five U.S. national security episodes—the 1979 Soviet invasion and occupation

of Afghanistan; the Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan administration; the rise of al-Qaeda,

leading to the 9/11 attacks; the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq; and the development of U.S.

energy policy—Yetiv reveals how a dozen cognitive biases have been more influential in

impacting U.S. national security than commonly believed or understood.

Identifying a primary bias in each episode—disconnect of perception versus reality;

tunnel vision (“focus feature”); distorted perception (“cockeyed lens”); overconfidence; and

short-term thinking—Yetiv explains how each bias drove the decision-making process and

what the outcomes were for the various actors. His concluding chapter examines a range of

debiasing techniques, exploring how they can improve decision making.

FLAWED LOGICSStrategic Nuclear Arms Control from Truman to Obama

JAMES H. LEBOVIC

James H. Lebovic explores the logic of seeking peace in an arms

race. Flawed Logics offers a compelling intellectual history of U.S.–

Russian strategic nuclear arms control.

Lebovic thoroughly reviews the critical role of ideas and as-

sumptions in U.S. arms control debates, tying them to controversies

over U.S. nuclear strategy. Each treaty—from Truman to Obama—

is assessed in depth and the positions of proponents and opponents

are systematically critiqued. Lebovic concludes that the terms of

these arms treaties with the Russians were never as good as U.S.

proponents claimed nor as bad as opponents feared.

“Lebovic skillfully dissects the opposing viewpoints in the U.S. arms control community during and after the Cold War and demonstrates that both sides of the debate exhibited perverse-ly illogical inconsistencies. The book is extremely well writ-ten, well organized, and thoroughly researched.”

WILL CHINA DEMOCRATIZE?edited by ANDREW J. NATHAN, LARRY DIAMOND, and MARC F. PLATTNER

While China has achieved extraordinary economic success as it has moved toward open

markets and international trade, its leadership maintains its authoritarian grip, repressing

political movements, controlling all internet traffic, and opposing any democratic activity.

Because of its huge population, more than half the people in the world who lack political

freedom live in China. Its undemocratic example is attractive to other authoritarian regimes.

But can China continue its growth without political reform? In Will China Democratize?,

Andrew J. Nathan, Larry Diamond, and Marc F. Plattner present valuable analysis for anyone

interested in this significant yet perplexing question.

Since the Journal of Democracy’s very first issue in January 1990, which featured

articles reflecting on the then-recent Tiananmen Square massacre, the Journal has regularly

published articles about China and its politics. By bringing together the wide spectrum of

views that have appeared in the Journal’s pages—from contributors including Fang Lizhi,

Perry Link, Michel Oksenberg, Minxin Pei, Henry S. Rowen, and Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo—

Will China Democratize? provides a clear view of the complex forces driving change in

China’s regime and society.

Whether China will democratize—and if so, when and how—has not become any

easier to answer today, but it is more crucial for the future of international politics than ever

before.

FORGING CHINA’S MIL ITARY MIGHTA New Framework for Assessing Innovation

edited by TAI MING CHEUNG

Among the most important issues in international security today are the nature and the glob-

al implications of China’s emergence as a world-class defense technology power. Since the

beginning of the twenty-first century, the Chinese defense industry has reinvented itself by

emphasizing technological innovation and technology. This reinvention and its potential ef-

fects, both positive and negative, are attracting intensifying global scrutiny. Drawing insights

from a range of disciplines, including history, social science, business, and strategic studies,

Tai Ming Cheung and the contributors to Forging China’s Military Might develop an analytical

framework to evaluate the nature, dimensions, and spectrum of Chinese innovation in the

military and broader defense spheres.

Forging China’s Military Might provides an overview of the current state of the Chinese

defense industry and then focuses on subjects critical to understanding short- and long-

term developments, including the relationship among defense contractors, regulators, and

end-users; civil-military integration; China’s defense innovation system; and China’s place in

the global defense economy. Case studies look in detail at the Chinese space and missile

industry.

Experts examine how innovation and technology are transforming China’s defense industry.

“Forging China’s Military Might constitutes high-quality, cutting-edge research on China’s defense industries. It should enjoy broad appeal—among academics, policy

makers, security analysts, and business people in countries

around the world.”

ARMED POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONSFrom Conflict to Integration

BENEDETTA BERTI

Many armed-political movements such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Irish Republican

Army (IRA) have their roots in insurrection and rebellion. In Armed Political Organizations,

Benedetta Berti seeks to understand when and why violent actors in a political organization

choose to vote rather than bomb their way to legitimacy.

Berti argues that the classic theory of the democratization process, which sees vio-

lence and elections at opposite ends of the political spectrum, is too simplistic and wholly

inadequate for understanding the negotiation and disarmament work that is necessary for

peaceful resolution of armed conflicts and movement toward electoral options. In this com-

parative study, she develops an alternative cyclical model that clarifies why armed groups

create a political wing and compete in elections, and how this organizational choice impacts

subsequent decisions to relinquish armed struggle.

In her conclusion, Berti draws out what the implications are for a government’s ability

to engage armed political groups to improve the chances of political integration. Berti’s inno-

vative framework and careful choice of case studies, presented in a jargon-free, accessible

style, will make this book attractive to not only scholars and students of democratization

processes but also policymakers interested in conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts.

“By focusing on a mix of internal organizational, political, and structural factors, Berti offers an informed and compelling explanation of the behavior of hybrid groups and counters the flawed argument that political participation necessarily moderates a group’s behavior.”

in Washington, including analysis of the debates about what should be government policies. That is a welcome contrast to the shrill tone and extreme positions staked out by many authors addressing these matters.” —Middle East Quarterly

MAMMALS OF MEXICOedited by GERARDO CEBALLOS

Mammals of Mexico is the first reference in English on the more than 500 types of mammal

species found in diverse Mexican habitats from the Sonoran Desert to the Chiapas cloud

forests. Authoritative accounts are written by a Who’s Who of experts overseen by famed

mammalogist and conservationist Gerardo Ceballos.

Ten years in the making, Mammals of Mexico covers everything from obscure rodents

to whales, bats, primates, and wolves. It is thoroughly illustrated with color photographs and

meticulous artistic renderings, as well as range maps for each species. Introductory chapters

discuss biogeography, conservation, and evolution. The final section of the book illustrates

skulls, jaws, and tracks.

This unparalleled collection of scientific information on and photographs of Mexican

wildlife belongs on the shelf of every mammalogist, in public and academic libraries, and in

the hands of anyone curious about Mexico and its wildlife.

The most comprehensive reference on Mexico’s diverse mammalian fauna.

GERARDO CEBALLOS, one of the

world’s leading ecologists, is a professor

at the Institute of Ecology at National

“Mexico is a mega-diverse coun-try, with one of the world’s richest mammal faunas. Gerardo Ceballos

is an internationally recognized scientist known for his remarkable breadth and insights. This book—

built on the successful foundations of Los Mamíferos Silvestres de México and enlisting the contributions of numerous specialists—showcases

both to great effect.”

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATIONContemporary Principles and Practices

edited by PAUL R. KRAUSMAN and JAMES W. CAIN III

Wildlife Management and Conservation presents a clear overview of the management and

conservation of animals, their habitats, and how people influence both. The relationship

among these three components of wildlife management is explained in chapters written by

leading experts and is designed to prepare wildlife students for careers in which they will

be charged with maintaining healthy animal populations; finding ways to restore depleted

populations while reducing overabundant, introduced, or pest species; and managing rela-

tionships among various human stakeholders.

Topics covered in this book include

PAUL R. KRAUSMAN is the Boone and

Crockett Professor of Wildlife Conservation at the

University of Montana and past president of

The Wildlife Society. JAMES W. CAIN III is Assistant Unit Leader, U.S. Geological

Survey–New Mexico Cooperative Fish and Wildlife

Research Unit, and affiliate assistant professor in

the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation

Ecology at New Mexico State University.

WILDLIFE DAMAGE MANAGEMENTPrevention, Problem Solving, and Conflict Resolution

RUSSELL F. REIDINGER, JR., and JAMES E. MILLER

Whether you are a student in a wildlife degree program or a professional wildlife biologist,

you will find all the up-to-date information on wildlife damage in the pages of this clear, com-

prehensive text. Wildlife Damage Management includes pertinent biological and ecological

concepts, management methods, and legal and political aspects.

Experts on the topic, authors Russell F. Reidinger, Jr., and James E. Miller explain

the evolution of wildlife damage management, differentiate fact from myth, and detail the

principles and techniques with which a professional in the field should be familiar. They

cover both plants and animals, North American as well as exotic invasive species, zoonotic

diseases, damage to crops, livestock, and property, and threats to endangered or threatened

fauna and flora. In recent years, the rate of unwanted human-wildlife interactions has risen

in many areas, owing in part to the expansion of residences into places formerly wild or

agricultural, making wildlife damage management even more relevant.

A complete guide to preventing and resolving problems associated with wildlife-human interactions.

RUSSELL F. REIDINGER, JR., is a former

Director, National Wildlife Research Center, USDA

ORIGINS OF MATHEMATICAL WORDSA Comprehensive Dictionary of Latin, Greek, and Arabic Roots

ANTHONY LO BELLO

Do you ever wonder about the origins of mathematical terms such

as ergodic, biholomorphic, and strophoid? Here Anthony Lo Bello

explains the roots of these and better-known words like asymmet-

ric, gradient, and average. He provides Greek, Latin, and Arabic text

in its original form to enhance each explanation. This sophisticat-

ed, one-of-a-kind reference for mathematicians and word lovers is

based on decades of the author’s painstaking research and work.

Origins of Mathematical Words supplies definitions for words

such as conchoids (a shell-shaped curve derived from the Greek

noun for “mussel”) and zenith (Arabic for “way overhead”), as well

as approximation (from the Latin proximus, meaning “nearest”).

These and hundreds of other terms wait to be discovered within the

pages of this mathematical and etymological treasure chest.

ANTHONY LO BELLO is a professor of mathematics at

Allegheny College and author of four volumes about Euclid’s

elements of geometry in the Middle Ages.

WILDLIFE IN AIRPORT ENVIRONMENTSPreventing Animal–Aircraft Collisions through Science-Based Management

edited by TRAVIS L. DEVAULT, BRADLEY F. BLACKWELL, and JERROLD L. BELANT

The pilot watches the instrument panel and prepares for touch-

down—a routine landing until a burst of birds, a coyote, or a herd

of deer crosses the runway! Every year, pilots experience this ten-

sion and many aircraft come into direct contact with birds and other

wildlife, resulting in more than one billion dollars in damage per year.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration has recorded a

rise in these incidents over the past decade due to more reporting,

rebounding wildlife populations, and an increased number of flights.

Wildlife in Airport Environments tackles the issue of what to do about

wildlife in and around airports—from rural, small-craft airparks to ma-

jor international airports.

A CLINICIAN’S GUIDE TO HELPING CHILDREN COPE AND COOPERATE WITH MEDICAL CAREAn Applied Behavioral Approach

KEITH J. SLIFER, PH.D.

Keith J. Slifer, Ph.D., a pediatric psychologist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and the Johns

Hopkins University School of Medicine, draws on practice and research to help health care

practitioners provide better care for children with chronic conditions and children undergoing

rehabilitation after traumatic injury or surgery. By better understanding the behavior, emo-

tions, and developmental challenges of children, health care professionals in practice and in

training can solve a range of problems, from getting a distressed child to cooperate with a

physical examination or diagnostic test, to teaching a child to adhere to medical self-care.

A Clinician’s Guide to Helping Children Cope and Cooperate with Medical Care will ben-

efit both health care professionals and children as practitioners aim to improve medical care

and prevent the children’s behavior from disrupting clinics and distressing and frustrating

health care workers and family caregivers. This book is for pediatric psychologists, pediatri-

cians, family medicine practitioners, physician’s assistants, nurse specialists, pediatric sub-

specialists, and students in these fields—and for family members dedicated to helping their

children cope with medical procedures and get the best possible medical care.

tor of the Pediatric Psychology Clinic

THE PLACEBOA Reader

edited by FRANKLIN G. MILLER, LUANA COLLOCA, ROBERT A. CROUCH, and TED J. KAPTCHUK

The placebo effect is a fascinating but elusive phenomena. Although no standard definition

of the placebo effect exists, it is generally understood as consisting of responses of indi-

viduals to the psychosocial context of medical treatments or clinical encounters, as distinct

from specific physiological effects of medical interventions. The Placebo is the first book to

compile a selection of classic and contemporary published articles on the topic.

Systematic investigation of the placebo effect emerged in the 1950s in response to the

development of randomized controlled clinical trials that used “inert” placebo interventions

as a pivotal element of scientific evaluation of novel drugs. The Placebo is organized into

three sections: the nature and significance of the placebo

effect, experimental studies of the placebo effect, and

ethical issues of placebos in research and in clinical prac-

tice. This comprehensive sourcebook will be invaluable to

investigators and scholars alike.

A thorough collection of classic and contemporary resources about the placebo effect.

FRANKLIN G. MILLER is a member of the senior faculty in the

Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a special

expert at the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program.

REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICAInforming Policy with Evidence and Analysis

edited by DANIEL W. WEBSTER and JON S. VERNICK

foreword by Michael R. Bloomberg

The staggering toll of gun violence—which claims 31,000 U.S. lives each year—is an urgent public health

issue that demands an effective evidence-based policy response. The Johns Hopkins University con-

vened more than 20 of the world’s leading experts on gun violence and policy to summarize relevant

research and recommend policies that are both constitutional and have broad public support. Collected

for the first time in one volume, this reliable, empirical research and legal analysis will help lawmakers,

opinion leaders, and concerned citizens identify policy changes to address mass shootings, along with

the less-publicized gun violence that takes an average of 80 lives every day.

The book includes an analysis of the constitutionality of many recommended

policies and data from a national public opinion poll that reflects support among the

majority of Americans—including gun owners—for stronger gun policies.

“The rate of firearms homicides in America is 20 times higher than it is in other economically advanced nations. We have got to change that.”

—From the Foreword by Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City

“Gun violence is a public health issue. This isn’t about ideology. It’s about dignity.” —Martin O’Malley, Governor of Maryland

REGULATING GUN SALESDANIEL W. WEBSTER JON S. VERNICK, EMMA E. McGINTY, and TED ALCORN

introduction by Michael R. Bloomberg

Arguably the most contentious gun policy

reform is the regulation of firearm sales

and stopping the diversion of guns to

criminals. This selection from Reducing

Gun Violence in America presents com-

pelling evidence that stronger purchasing

laws and better enforcement of these

laws result in lower gun violence.

THE SECOND AMENDMENTLAWRENCE E. ROSENTHAL and ADAM WINKLER

introduction by Michael R. Bloomberg

For many years, some groups have claim-

ed that the Second Amendment to the

U.S. Constitution stands as an obstacle

to most gun control laws. Lawrence E.

Rosenthal and Adam Winkler debunk

this myth with careful legal analysis of re-

cent court decisions, including District of

Columbia v. Heller. This selection from

Reducing Gun Violence in America tackles

the most fundamental question at hand:

How do we reduce gun violence while

upholding our constitutional right to bear

arms?

A collection of short chapters, some not much longer than op-eds, reveals author Mark Katz’s wisdom and pru-dence when it comes to the use of military power, and the need for patience and persistence when pursuing long-term objectives . . . His straightforward prose engages the reader in what often feels like a quiet one-on-one conversation.”

—Christopher Preble, Middle East Policy

“As the U.S. searches for a way forward, Katz’s largely objective and thoughtful analysis offers much to consider.”

JENNIFER TUCKER

“Tucker’s brilliant study enlarges traditional concepts of photo-graphic evidence by tying togeth-er the social processes and insti-tutions that created the scientific photograph to the shift in the professional development of sci-ence itself.” —Victorian Studies

“The strength of the book lies in Tucker’s analysis of the broad his-torical context in which scientific photography emerged in Victo-rian Britain.” —Science

“An impressive, long-overdue critical companion to the early history of scientific photography in Britain that leaves few stones unturned. It is also an enjoyable read, as it delves into some of the quirkier and more entertaining chapters in pho-tographic history.” —British Journal for the History of Science

JENNIFER TUCKER is an associate professor of history,
