OVID AND THE METAMORPHOSES OF MODERN ART FROM BOTTICELLI TO PICASSO Written in the spirit of Ovid, this lively and erudite book traces the art derived from Ovid’s Metamorphoses from the Renaissance up to the present day. The Metamorphoses has been more widely illustrated than any other book except the Bible; for centuries, great artists have drawn, painted, and sculpted its stories, the artists often responding not only to Ovid’s work but to one another’s in their depictions. Paul Barolsky, a specialist in Italian Renaissance art and literature, explores Ovid’s unparalleled influence on the visual arts, discussing works by many of the most famous artists of the past six centuries. Broadly interdisciplinary, the new understanding of the themes of the Metamorphoses revealed here will appeal to those in the fields of Renaissance art, humanism, literature, history, and classics, among others. At once witty, entertaining, and profound, Ovid and the Metamorphoses of Modern Art from Botticelli to Picasso is a meditation on what words can achieve that images cannot, and conversely what images can show that words cannot tell.

Paul Barolsky is professor of art history at the University of Virginia. His many books include A Brief History of the Artist from God to Picasso, Giotto’s Father and the Family of Vasari’s Lives, Why Mona Lisa Smiles and Other Tales by Vasari, Michelangelo’s Nose, all published by Penn State in 2010, 1992, 1991 and 1990 respectively, and Infinite Jest (University of Missouri, 1978).

FASHION VICTIMS Dress at the Court of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette This engrossing book chronicles one of the most exciting, controversial, and over-the-top periods in the history of fashion: the extravagant reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette in eighteenth-century France. Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell offers a carefully researched glimpse into the turbulent era’s sophisticated and largely female-dominated fashion industry, which produced courtly finery as well as promoting a thriving secondhand clothing market outside the royal circle. She discusses in depth the exceptionally imaginative and uninhibited styles of the period immediately before the French Revolution, and also explores fashion’s surprising influence on the course of the Revolution itself. The absorbing narrative demonstrates fashion’s crucial role as a visible and versatile medium for social commentary, and shows the glittering surface of eighteenth-century high society as well as its seedy underbelly. Fashion Victims presents a compelling anthology of trends, manners, and personalities from the era, accompanied by gorgeous fashion plates, portraits, and photographs of rare surviving garments. Drawing upon documentary evidence, never-before-seen archival sources, and new information about aristocrats, politicians, and celebrities, this book is an unmatched study of French fashion in the late eighteenth century, providing astonishing insight, a gripping story, and stylish inspiration.

Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell is an independent scholar. An art historian in fashion and textiles, she has worked as a curator, consultant, and educator for museums and universities around the world. She is a frequent contributor to books, scholarly journals, and magazines, as well as an experienced lecturer and media commentator.

LEONARDO, MICHELANGELO, AND THE ART OF THE FIGURE In late 1504 and early 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti were both at work on commissions they had received to paint murals in Florence’s City Hall. Leonardo was to depict a historic battle between Florence and Milan, Michelangelo one between Florence and Pisa. Though neither project was ever completed, the painters’ mythic encounter shaped art and its history in the decades and centuries that followed. This concise, lucid, and thought-provoking book looks again at the one moment when Leonardo and Michelangelo worked side by side, seeking to identify the roots of their differing ideas of the figure in fifteenth-century pictorial practices and to understand what this contrast meant to the artists and writers who followed them. At the centre of the book is the preoccupation of both artists with ideas of painted “force.” Michael W. Cole, a renowned expert in Renaissance art history, traces the diverging conceptions of painted force that Leonardo and Michelangelo held. For Leonardo, figural force translated principles from the medieval science of weights and measures and modern engineering; in Michelangelo’s case, the impression of force came with the isolation of the individual figure from a surrounding narrative. Through close investigation of these two artists, Cole provides a new account of critical developments in Italian Renaissance painting.

Michael W. Cole is professor of art history and archaeology at Columbia University. He writes and teaches on European art of the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries, with a specialisation in early modern Italy. Among his publications are Ambitious Form (Princeton, 2011), Italian Renaissance Art (Thames & Hudson, 2011) and The Early Modern Painter-Etcher (Penn State, 2006).

ANOTHER LIGHT Jacques-Louis David to Thomas Demand In this richly illustrated book Michael Fried – one of the most esteemed and influential art critics and art historians working today – has gathered eight major essays written between 1993 and 2013, on topics ranging from Jacques-Louis David, Théodore Géricault, and Caspar David Friedrich through Gustave Caillebotte and Roger Fry to recent films by Douglas Gordon and Thomas Demand. Gustave Courbet and Edouard Manet, too, are distinct presences along with, in the background, the great art critic Denis Diderot and, in the case of Friedrich, the philosopher Immanuel Kant. As always in Fried’s writing, the emphasis falls equally on observation and argument: never have these artists (and one critic, Fry) been subjected to so searching a gaze, and never has the meaning of their respective enterprises been laid bare with comparable clarity and force. Another hallmark of Fried’s work is its extraordinary originality, and that too is fully in evidence throughout this remarkable book, which will add to his reputation as one of the indispensable thinkers of our time.

Michael Fried is J. R. Herbert Boone professor of humanities in the history of art at John Hopkins University, and one of the most distinguished art historians of the twentieth century and writing today. Among his publications are The Moment of Caravaggio (Princeton, 2010), Why Photography Matters as Art as Never Before and Menzel’s Realism, both published by Yale in 2008 and 2002 respectively.

MARK ROTHKO (Jewish Lives Series) Behind the light of Rothko's abstract paintings lies the complex truth of his journey from immigrant to celebrated artist – his path from Marcus Rothkowitz, born in Dvinsk, to Mark Rothko (1903–1970). It includes his years at Yale where he felt as an outcast, his first one-man show at thirty and his greatest achievement, the Rothko Chapel, a place of oecumenical meditation, in Houston. Cohen-Solal unveils the many elements of Rothko's genius based on his secular judeity – as a scholar, artist and educator. Working closely with the artist’s son, Annie Cohen-Solal was granted unprecedented access to personal materials no previous biographer had seen. As a result, her book is an extraordinarily detailed portrait of Rothko the man and the artist, an uncommonly successful painter who was never comfortable with the idea of his art as a commodity.

Annie Cohen-Solal is an academic and a cultural historian who served as cultural counsellor to the French Embassy in the United States. Her books include Leo & His Circle, Painting American and the acclaimed biography Sartre, all published by Gallimard in 2009, 2000 and 1985 respectively. In 2009, Cohen-Solal was presented with the title of Chevalier dans l’ordre national de la Légion d’Honneur.

STALIN New Biography of a Dictator Stalin is the first post-Soviet biography of the dictator that fully takes into account the new sources that have become available since the opening of the archives during late Perestroika-early 1990s. Rather than attempt to provide an exhaustive chronology of Stalin’s life, Oleg Khlevniuk concentrates on six key periods: the years just before the Revolution; the transition of power from Lenin to Stalin; collectivisation and famine; the Terror of the late 1930s; the conduct of the war against Nazi Germany; and the beginning of the Cold War. The result is a matryoshka, a nesting doll of Stalin’s life that provides much new insight into the most important episodes while remaining superbly readable and accessible for a lay reader. This impeccably researched, beautifully written book will remain the definitive one-volume biography of Joseph Stalin for at least a generation. “No one in the world knows the inner workings of Soviet power in Stalin’s time better than Oleg Khlevniuk, the leading archival historian of Stalinism. Beautifully and artfully composed, deeply moral, concise, and supremely readable, Stalin will become the benchmark against which all future biographies of Stalin will be measured. A masterpiece.” -Jan Plamper, author of The Stalin Cult (Yale, 2012).

Oleg V. Khlevniuk, the world’s leading historian of Stalinism, is a senior researcher at the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow. Much of his writing on Stalinist Soviet Union is based on newly released archival documents, including personal correspondence, drafts of Central Committee paperwork and new memoirs. He is the author of many books including The History of the Gulag (Yale, 2005) and In Stalin’s Shadow (M. E. Sharpe, 1995).

HANNIBAL A Hellenistic Life Hannibal lived a life of incredible feats of daring and survival, massive military engagements, and ultimate defeat. A citizen of Carthage and military commander in Punic Spain, he famously marched his war elephants and huge army over the Alps into Rome’s own heartland to fight the Second Punic War. Yet the Romans were the ultimate victors. They eventually captured and destroyed Carthage, and thus it was they who wrote the legend of Hannibal: a brilliant and worthy enemy whose defeat represented military glory for Rome. In this groundbreaking biography Eve MacDonald expands the memory of Hannibal beyond his military feats and tactics. She considers him in the wider context of the society and vibrant culture of Carthage which shaped him and his family, employing archaeological findings and documentary sources not only from Rome but also the wider Mediterranean world of the third century B.C. MacDonald also analyses Hannibal’s legend over the millennia, exploring how statuary, Jacobean tragedy, opera, nineteenth-century fiction, and other depictions illuminate the character of one of the most fascinating military personalities in all of history.

Eve MacDonald is a British-Canadian archaeologist, lecturer and travel guide. Her excavations have taken her around the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Caucasus, working in Iran, Georgia, Italy, France, and importantly in Tunisia at Carthage. She is currently sessional lecturer in the department of classics at the University of Reading. This is her first book.

IMPRUDENT KING A New Life of Philip II Philip II is not only the most famous king in Spanish history, but one of the most famous monarchs in English history: the man who married Mary Tudor and later launched the Spanish Armada against her sister Elizabeth I. This compelling biography of the most powerful European monarch of his day begins with his conception (1526) and ends with his ascent to Paradise (1603), two occurrences surprisingly well-documented by contemporaries. Eminent historian Geoffrey Parker draws on four decades of research on Philip as well as a recent, extraordinary archival discovery—a trove of three thousand documents in the vaults of the Hispanic Society of America in New York City, unread since crossing Philip’s own desk more than four centuries ago. Many of them change significantly what we know about the king. The book examines Philip’s long apprenticeship; his three principal interests (work, play, and religion); and the major political, military, and personal challenges he faced during his long reign. Parker offers fresh insights into the causes of Philip’s leadership failures: was his empire simply too big to manage, or would a monarch with different talents and temperament have fared better?

Geoffrey Parker is distinguished university professor, Andreas Dorpalen professor of European history, and associate of the Mershon Center at The Ohio State University. Among his many books are The Grand Strategy of Philip II and Global Crisis, both published by Yale in 2000 and 2013 respectively. He received the 2012 Heineken Prize for History.

LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF Leonid Yakobson and Ballet as Resistance in Soviet Russia Everyone has heard of George Balanchine. Few outside the USSR know of Leonid Yakobson, Balanchine’s contemporary, who remained in Lenin’s Russia and survived censorship during the darkest days of Stalin. Like Shostakovich, Yakobson suffered for his art and yet managed to create a singular body of revolutionary dances that spoke to the Soviet condition. His work was often considered so culturally explosive that it was described as “Like a bomb going off.” Based on untapped archival collections of photographs, films, and writings about Yakobson’s work in Moscow and St. Petersburg for the Bolshoi and Kirov ballets, as well as interviews with former dancers, family, and audience members, this illuminating and beautifully written biography brings to life a hidden history of artistic resistance in the USSR through this brave artist who struggled against officially sanctioned anti-Semitism while offering a vista of hope. “This is not only the finest biography of a choreographer ever written—the most detailed and illuminating chronicle of the distance between intentions and achievements in the tragically fallible art of theatrical dance. It is also the most revealing and iconoclastic cultural study we have of ballet as a political instrument, in any country.”—Mindy Aloff, editor, Leaps in the Dark (University Press of Florida, 2011).

Janice Ross is a professor in the theatre and performance studies department and director of the Dance Division of Stanford University. She is the author of Anna Halprin (University of California, 2007), San Francisco Ballet at 75 (Chronicle Books, 2007) and Moving Lessons (University of Wisconsin, 2000). Her articles on dance have appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.

DAVID BEN-GURION (Jewish Lives Series) David Ben-Gurion, the man who, against all odds, founded the Jewish state and led it through war and peace, is considered the greatest of Israel's leaders. His stocky, diminutive figure, his mane of white hair, and his metallic voice aroused, in his lifetime—and after his death—admiration and hatred, love and loathing, respect and dismissal. Shapira tells the Ben-Gurion story anew, focusing primarily on the period in 1948 immediately following Israel’s declaration of independence, a time few historians have concentrated on and none have explored in such intimate detail. Through her intensive research and access to Ben-Gurion’s personal archives and rarely viewed documents and letters, the author gained powerful insights into his private persona. This biography creates a stunning portrait: a flesh-and-blood image of the man, showing at once all his weaknesses and greatness.

Anita Shapira is professor emerita at Tel Aviv University, where she has served as dean of the faculty of humanities and held the Ruben Merenfeld chair for the study of Zionism. In 2000, she was appointed head of the Chaim Weizmann Institute for the Study of Zionism and Israel at Tel Aviv University. She has won many prizes and awards, including, in 2008, the Israel Prize. Her most recent book in English, Israel (Brandeis University, 2012), was the winner of a National Jewish Book Award in 2012.

DAVID The Divided Heart (Jewish Lives Series) David is the most fully depicted and yet contradictory figure in the Bible: King, poet, adulterer, schemer, deceiver, lover, father and founder of the Messianic line. He is the famous young warrior who defeated Goliath and saved the Israelites from the Philistines. He is the king who founded a capital, united north and south, proposed the Temple, and established a dynasty. Yet he is also a man who committed adultery and arranged a clandestine political cover-up. This book looks at David in his many roles. Is there a secret that unlocks the mystery of this complex character and can explain why, of all the figures in history, he was chosen to be the man from whom the Messiah must arise?

David Wolpe, who was named the most influential rabbi in America by Newsweek in 2012, is the leader of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, the largest Conservative congregation west of the Mississippi River. Jerusalem Post has called him one of the fifty most influential Jews in the world. He is the author of seven books, including the national bestseller Why Faith Matters (Harper Collins, 2008) and Making Loss Matter (Penguin, 1999).

JEALOUSY Life in a materialistic world is fraught with pressures to compete, acquire, and succeed, and it is a small step from competitiveness to jealousy and envy. But, as author Peter Toohey argues in his charmingly provocative study, jealousy is more than the destructive emotional reaction to another’s good fortune that it is commonly believed to be, and can actually help as much as it harms. Certainly the newspapers abound with stories of the sometimes droll, sometimes dire consequences of sexual jealousies, but the positive side has rarely been as scrupulously explored. By examining the meaning, history, and surprising uses of this common human emotion, the author makes a strong case for jealousy as a primary driver of inspiration and creativity, indeed at the very core of modern culture and civilisation. Toohey offers fresh, intriguing contemporary perspectives on the family, sexual violence, and modernism, eclectically combining psychology, art and literature, neuroscience, anthropology, and a host of other disciplines in an elegant, smart, and beautifully illustrated defence of a not-always-deadly sin.

Peter Toohey is professor of classics in the department of Greek and Roman studies at the University of Calgary, with a special interest in the nature and history of the emotions. He is the author of Boredom (Yale, 2011) and Melancholy, Love and Time (University of Michigan, 2004), among other edited volumes.

THE SOUTH CHINA SEA Dangerous Ground China’s rise has upset the global balance of power, and the first place to feel the strain is Beijing’s back yard: the South China Sea. For decades tensions have smouldered in the region, but today the threat of a direct confrontation among superpowers grows ever more likely. This important book is the first to make clear sense of the South Sea disputes. Bill Hayton, a journalist with extensive experience in the region, examines the high stakes involved for rival nations that include Vietnam, India, Taiwan, the Philippines, and China, as well as the U.S., Russia, and others. Hayton also lays out the daunting obstacles that stand in the way of peaceful resolution. Through lively stories of individuals who have shaped current conflicts— businessmen, scientists, shippers, archaeologists, soldiers, diplomats, and more—Hayton makes understandable the complex history and contemporary reality of the South China Sea. He underscores its crucial importance as the passage way for half of the world’s merchant shipping and one third of its oil and gas. Whoever controls these waters controls the access between Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and the Pacific. The author critiques various claims and positions (that China has historic claim to the Sea, for example), overturns conventional wisdoms (such as America’s overblown fears of China’s nationalism and military resurgence), and outlines what the future may hold for this clamorous region of international rivalry.

Bill Hayton is a reporter with BBC News and author of the well-received Vietnam (Yale, 2010). A specialist on contemporary Asia, he has worked for BBC News since 1998, and in 2006-7 was the BBC’s reporter in Vietnam. He has also reported from other parts of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe and written for The Times, Financial Times and Bangkok Post.

HUN SEN’S CAMBODIA To many in the West, the name Cambodia still conjures up indelible images of destruction and death, the legacy of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime and the terror it inflicted in its attempt to create a communist utopia in the 1970s. Sebastian Strangio, a journalist based in the capital city of Phnom Penh, now offers an eye-opening appraisal of modern-day Cambodia in the years following its emergence from bitter conflict and bloody upheaval. In the early 1990s, Cambodia became the focus of the UN’s first great post-Cold War nation-building project, with billions in international aid rolling in to support the fledgling democracy. But since the UN-supervised elections in 1993, the nation has slipped steadily backwards into neo-authoritarian rule under Prime Minister Hun Sen. Behind a mirage of democracy, ordinary people have few rights and corruption infuses virtually every facet of everyday life. In this lively and compelling study, the first of its kind, Strangio explores the present state of Cambodian society under Hun Sen’s leadership, painting a vivid portrait of a nation struggling to reconcile the promise of peace and democracy with a violent and tumultuous past.

Sebastian Strangio is a former reporter and editor at the Phnom Penh Post, Cambodia’s oldest English-language newspaper. He is currently a freelance correspondent covering news and events across the Asia-Pacific.

THE POLITICS OF RELIGION IN EARLY MODERN FRANCE Rich in detail and broad in scope, this majestic book is the first to reveal the interaction of politics and religion in France during the crucial years of the long seventeenth century. Joseph Bergin begins with the Wars of Religion, which proved to be longer and more violent in France than elsewhere in Europe and left a legacy of unresolved tensions between church and state with serious repercussions for each. He then draws together a series of unresolved problems—both practical and ideological—that challenged French leaders thereafter, arriving at an original and comprehensive view of the close interrelations between the political and spiritual spheres of the time. The author considers the powerful religious dimension of French royal power even in the seventeenth century, the shift from reluctant toleration of a Protestant minority to increasing aversion, conflicts over the independence of the Catholic church and the power of the pope over secular rulers, and a wealth of other interconnected topics.

Joseph Bergin is emeritus professor of history at the University of Manchester. He has held visiting professorships at the Sorbonne, Nancy, Lyon, Montpellier and EHESS-Paris. His previous books include Church, Society and Religious Change in France 1580-1730, The Rise of Richelieu, Cardinal de La Rochefoucauld and Cardinal Richelieu, all published by Yale in 2009, 1991, 1987 and 1985 respectively.

THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR A People's History The Hundred Years War (1337-1453) dominated life in England and France for well over a century. It became the defining feature of existence for generations. This sweeping book is the first to tell the human story of the longest military conflict in history. David Green focuses on the ways the war impacted different groups, among them knights, clerics, women, peasants, soldiers, peacemakers, and kings. He also explores how the long war altered governance in England and France and reshaped peoples’ perceptions of themselves and of their national character. Using the events of the war as a narrative thread, Green illuminates the realities of battle and the conditions of those compelled to live in occupied territory; the roles played by clergy and their shifting loyalties to king and pope; and the influence of the war on developing notions of government, literacy, and education. Peopled with vivid and well-known characters—Henry V, Joan of Arc, Philip the Good, Edward the Black Prince, John the Blind, and many others—as well as a host of ordinary individuals who were drawn into the struggle, this absorbing book reveals for the first time not only the Hundred Years War’s impact on warfare, institutions, and nations, but also its true human cost.

David Green is senior lecturer in British studies and history at Harlaxton College, and a regular speaker on medieval history at conferences and seminars in the UK, Ireland, and the U.S. He is the author of Edward the Black Prince and The Battle of Poitiers, both published by Tempus in 2007 and 2002 respectively.

WEIMAR From Enlightenment to the Present Michael Kater chronicles the rise and fall of one of Germany’s most iconic cities in this fascinating and surprisingly provocative history of Weimar. Weimar was a centre of the arts during the Enlightenment and hence the cradle of German culture in modern times. Goethe and Schiller made their reputations here, as did Franz Liszt and the young Richard Strauss. In the early twentieth century, the Bauhaus school was founded in Weimar. But from the 1880s on, the city also nurtured a powerful right-wing reactionary movement and, fifty years later, a repressive National Socialist regime dimmed Weimar’s creative lights, transforming the onetime artists’ utopia into the capital of its first Nazified province and constructing the Buchenwald death camp on its doorstep. Kater’s richly detailed volume offers the first complete history of Weimar in any language, from its meteoric eighteenth-century rise up from obscurity through its glory days of unbridled creative expression to its dark descent back into artistic insignificance under Nazi rule and, later, Soviet occupation and beyond.

Michael H. Kater is distinguished research professor of history emeritus at York University, Toronto, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of nine books, including Hitler Youth (Harvard, 2004) and The Twisted Muse (OUP, 1997).

MEDIEVAL CHRISTIANITY A New History For many, the medieval world seems dark and foreign – a miraculous, brutal, and irrational time of superstition and strange relics. The pursuit of heretics, the inquisition, the crusades and the domination of the “Holy Land” come to mind. Yet the medieval world produced much that is part of our world today including universities, the persistence of the Roman style and the emergence of the gothic in architecture, pilgrimage, the emergence of capitalism, and female saints. This new narrative history of medieval Christianity, spanning from 500 to 1500 AD attempts to combine both what is unfamiliar and familiar to readers. Elements of novelty in the book include a steady focus on the role of women in Christianity, the relationships between Christians, Jews and Muslims, the experience of ordinary parishioners, the adventure of asceticism, devotion and worship and instruction through drama, architecture and art. Madigan expertly integrates these focuses with more traditional themes, such as the evolution and decline of papal power, the nature and repression of heresy, sanctity and pilgrimage, the conciliar movement, and the break between the old Western church and the Reformers.

Kevin J. Madigan is Winn professor of ecclesiastical history and associate dean for faculty and academic affairs at Harvard Divinity School. His books include Resurrection (Yale, 2008), The Passions of Christ in High-Medieval Thought (OUP, 2007) and Olivi and the Interpretation of Matthew in the High Middle Ages (University of Notre Dame, 2003).

ARTISTS UNDER HITLER Collaboration and Survival in Nazi Germany “What are we to make of those cultural figures, many with significant international reputations, who tried to find accommodation with the Nazi regime?” Jonathan Petropoulos asks in this exploration of some of the most acute moral questions of the Third Reich era. In his nuanced analysis of prominent German artists, architects, composers, film directors, painters, and writers who rejected exile, choosing instead to stay during Germany’s darkest period, the author shows how individuals variously dealt with the regime’s public opposition to modern art. His findings explode the myth that all modern artists were anti-Nazi and all Nazis anti-modernist. Artists Under Hitler closely examines cases of artists who failed in their attempts to find accommodation with the Nazi regime (Walter Gropius, Paul Hindemith, Gottfried Benn, Ernst Barlach, Emil Nolde) as well as others whose desire for official acceptance was realised (Richard Strauss, Gustaf Gründgens, Leni Riefenstahl, Arno Breker, Albert Speer). Collectively these ten figures illuminate the complex history of Nazi Germany, while individually they provide haunting portraits of people facing difficult choices and grave moral questions.

Jonathan Petropoulos, the John V. Croul professor of European history at Claremont McKenna College, is the author of Royals and the Reich (OUP, 2006), The Faustian Bargain (OUP, 2000) and Art as Politics in the Third Reich (University of North Carolina Press, 1996). He served as research director for art and cultural property on the Presidential Advisory Committee for Holocaust Assets in the U.S. and as an expert witness in a number of cases where Holocaust victims have tried to recover lost artworks.

THOSE WHO HOLD BASTOGNE The True Story of the Soldiers and Civilians Who Fought in the Biggest Battle of the Bulge Hitler’s last gamble, the Battle of the Bulge, was intended to push the Allied invaders of Normandy all the way back to the beaches. The plan nearly succeeded, and almost certainly would have, were it not for one small Belgian town and its tenacious American defenders who held back a tenfold larger German force while awaiting the arrival of General George Patton’s mighty Third Army. In this dramatic account of the 1944–45 winter of war in Bastogne, historian Peter Schrijvers offers the first full story of the German assault on the strategically located town. From the December stampede of American and Panzer divisions racing to reach Bastogne first, through the bloody eight-day siege from land and air, and through three more weeks of unrelenting fighting even after the siege was broken, events at Bastogne hastened the long-awaited end of WWII. Schrijvers draws on diaries, memoirs, and other fresh sources to illuminate the experiences not only of Bastogne’s three thousand citizens and their American defenders, but also of German soldiers and commanders desperate for victory. The costs of war are here made real, uncovered in the stories of those who perished and those who emerged from battle to find the world forever changed.

Peter Schrijvers is an expert on the Second World War and US history. Senior lecturer at the University of New South Wales, he is the author of The Margraten Boys (Macmillan, 2012), Bloody Pacific (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), Liberators (CUP, 2009), The Unknown Dead (University of Kentucky, 2005), The GI War Against Japan (New York University Press, 2002) and The Crash of Ruin (New York University Press, 1998).

EUROPEAN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY FROM ROUSSEAU TO NIETZSCHE One of the most distinguished cultural and intellectual historians of our time, Frank Turner taught a landmark Yale University lecture course on European intellectual history that drew scores of students over many years. His lectures—lucid, accessible, beautifully written and delivered with a notable lack of jargon—distilled modern European history from the Enlightenment to the dawn of the twentieth century and conveyed the turbulence of a rapidly changing era in European history through its ideas and leading figures. Richard Lofthouse, one of Turner’s former students, has now edited the lectures into a single volume that outlines the thoughts of a great historian on the forging of modern European ideas; moreover, it offers a fine example of how intellectual history should be taught: rooted firmly in historical and biographical evidence.

Frank M. Turner (1944–2010) was John Hay Whitney professor of history, director of the Beinecke Library, and university librarian, all at Yale University. Among his publications are John Henry Newman and The Greek Heritage in Victorian Britain, both published by Yale in 2002 and 1981 respectively. Richard Lofthouse is editor of Oxford Today.

PATRIOTIC BETRAYAL The Inside Story of the CIA’s Secret Campaign to Enroll American Students in the Crusade against Communism In this revelatory book, Karen Paget shows how the CIA turned the National Student Association into an intelligence asset during the Cold War, with students used—often wittingly and sometimes unwittingly—as undercover agents inside America and abroad. In 1967, Ramparts magazine exposed the story, prompting the Agency into engineering a successful cover-up. Now Paget, drawing on archival sources, declassified documents, and more than 150 interviews, shows that the Ramparts story revealed only a small part of the plot. A cautionary tale, throwing sharp light on the persistent argument, heard even now, about whether America’s national-security interests can be advanced by skullduggery and deception, Patriotic Betrayal, says Karl E. Meyer, a former editorial board member of the New York Times and The Washington Post, evokes “the aura of a John le Carré novel with its self-serving rationalizations, its layers of duplicity, and its bureaucratic double-talk.”

Karen M. Paget is a writer with extensive experience in government and public policy, philanthropy, and academia. She has lectured and delivered academic papers in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. She is co-author with Glenna Matthews and Linda Witt of Running as a Woman (Free Press, 1993). As a contributing editor to The American Prospect, she writes on current political and electoral topics.

GLOBAL RULES America, Britain and a Disordered World The Second World War created and the Cold War sustained a “special relationship” between America and Britain, and the terms on which that decades-long conflict ended would become the foundation of a new world order. In this penetrating analysis, a new history of recent global politics, James Cronin explores the dramatic reconfiguring of western foreign policy that was necessitated by the interlinked crises of the 1970s and the resulting global shift toward open markets, a movement that was eagerly embraced and encouraged by the U.S./U.K. partnership. Cronin’s bold revisionist argument questions long-perceived views of post-World War Two America and its position in the world, especially after Vietnam. The author details the challenges the economic transition of the 1970s and 1980s engendered as the United States and Great Britain together actively pursued their shared ideal of an international assemblage of market-based democratic states. Cronin also addresses the crises that would sorely test the system in subsequent decades, from human rights violations and genocide in the Balkans and Africa to 9/11 and militant Islamism in the Middle East to the “Great Recession” of 2008.

James Cronin is professor of history at Boston College, and co-chair of the British Study Group, Minda De Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. He has researched broadly across American and British social, economic and political history. His previous books include New Labour’s Pasts published by Longman Pearson in 2004 and The World the Cold War Made and The Politics of State Expansion, published by Routledge in 1996 and 1991 respectively.

THE QUESTION OF INTERVENTION John Stuart Mill and the Responsibility to Protect The question of when or if a nation should intervene in another country’s affairs is one of the most important concerns in today’s volatile world. Taking John Stuart Mill’s famous 1859 essay “A Few Words on Non-Intervention” as his starting point, Michael W. Doyle addresses the thorny issue of when a state’s sovereignty should be respected and when it should be overridden or disregarded by other states in the name of humanitarian protection, national self-determination, or national security. In this time of complex social and political interplay and increasingly sophisticated and deadly weaponry, Doyle reinvigorates Mill’s principles for a new era while assessing the new United Nations doctrine of responsibility to protect. In the twenty-first century, intervention can take many forms: military and economic, unilateral and multilateral. Doyle’s thought-provoking argument examines essential moral and legal questions underlying significant American foreign policy dilemmas of recent years, including Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Michael W. Doyle is the Harold Brown professor of international affairs, law, and political science at Columbia University and was formerly assistant secretary-general and special advisor to UN secretary-general Kofi Annan. Among his publications are Making War and Building Peace (Princeton, 2006), Ways of War and Peace (W. W. Norton, 1997) and Empires (Cornell, 1986).

LIFE AFTER FAITH The Case for Secular Humanism Although there is no shortage of recent books arguing against religion, few offer a positive alternative—how anyone might live a fulfilling life without the support of religious beliefs. This enlightening book fills the gap. Philip Kitcher constructs an original and persuasive secular perspective, one that answers human needs, recognises the objectivity of values, and provides for the universal desire for meaningfulness. Kitcher thoughtfully and sensitively considers how secularism can respond to the worries and challenges that all people confront, including the issue of mortality. He investigates how secular lives compare to those of people who adopt religious doctrines as literal truth, as well as those who embrace less literalistic versions of religion. Whereas religious belief has been important in past times, Kitcher concludes that evolution away from religion is now essential. He envisions the successors to religious life, when the senses of identity and community traditionally fostered by religion will instead draw on a broader range of cultural items—those provided by poets, film-makers, musicians, artists, scientists, and others. With clarity and deep insight, Kitcher reveals the power of secular humanism to encourage fulfilling human lives built upon ethical truth.

Philip Kitcher is John Dewey professor of philosophy and James R. Barker professor of contemporary civilization at Columbia University. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Kitcher was the first recipient of the Prometheus Prize, awarded by the American Philosophical Association for work in expanding the frontiers of science and philosophy. His numerous books include The Ethical Project (Harvard, 2011), Living with Darwin (OUP, 2007) and Abusing Science (MIT, 1982).

SPEED LIMITS Where Time Went and Why We Have So Little Left We live in an accelerating world: faster computers, faster news, food, product cycles, bodies, kids, lives. Yet we seem to have less time than ever to reflect, enjoy leisure, or perhaps even play. How did this new world of speed emerge? Why does it seem so inescapable? Drawing together developments in religion, philosophy, art, technology, fashion, and finance, Mark C. Taylor presents an original and compelling account of a great paradox of our times: we may be reaching the point where greater speed can only limit. Taylor connects our speed-obsession with today’s global capitalism. He composes a grand narrative showing how commitment to economic growth and extreme competition, combined with accelerating technological innovation, has brought us close to disaster. Too much speed can tear apart bodies, minds, communities, countries, and even the earth itself. Can we regain control? Taylor redirects us toward a more patient, deliberative, and sustainable world.

Mark C. Taylor is the chair of the department of religion and co-director of the Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life at Columbia University. A leading figure in debates about post-modernism, Taylor has written on topics ranging from philosophy, religion, literature, art and architecture to education, media, science, technology and economics. He is the author of thirty books which include After God and Confidence Games, both published by University of Chicago Press in 2007 and 2004 respectively.

WELCOME TO SUBIRDIA Sharing our Neighborhoods with Wrens, Robins, Woodpeckers, and Other Wildlife Welcome to Subirdia presents a surprising discovery: the suburbs of many large cities support incredible biological diversity. Populations and communities of a great variety of birds, as well as other creatures, are adapting to the conditions of our increasingly developed world. In this fascinating and optimistic book, John M. Marzluff reveals how our own actions affect the birds and animals that live in our cities and towns, and he provides ten specific strategies everyone can use to make human environments friendlier for our natural neighbours. Over many years of research and fieldwork, Marzluff and student assistants have closely followed the lives of thousands of tagged birds seeking food, mates, and shelter in cities and surrounding areas. From tiny Pacific wrens to grand pileated woodpeckers, diverse species now compatibly share human surroundings. By practising careful stewardship with the biological riches in our cities and towns, Marzluff explains, we can foster a new relationship between humans and other living creatures—one that honours and enhances our mutual destiny.

John M. Marzluff is professor of wildlife science at the University of Washington. He is the author or co-author of more than one hundred and thirty scientific papers and five books, including Dog Days, Raven Nights and the award-winning In the Company of Crows and Ravens, both published by Yale in 2011 and 2005 respectively. Jack DeLap is a Ph.D. candidate in wildlife science at the University of Washington. His natural science illustrations have appeared in a variety of books and journals.

LIFE’S BLUEPRINT The Science and Art of Embryo Creation In the span of just three decades, scientific understanding of the formation of embryos has undergone a major revolution. The implications of these new research findings have an immediate bearing on human health and future therapies, yet most non-scientists remain quite unaware of the promising news. In this engaging book, a distinguished geneticist offers a clear, jargon-free overview of the field of developmental biology. Benny Shilo transforms complicated scientific paradigms into understandable ideas, employing an array of photographic images to demonstrate analogies between the cells of an embryo and human society. Shilo’s innovative approach highlights important concepts in a way that will be intuitive and resonant with readers’ own experiences. The author explains what is now known about the mechanisms of embryonic development and the commanding role of genes. For each paradigm under discussion, he provides both a scientific image and a photograph he has taken in the human world. These pairs of images imply powerful metaphors, such as the similarities between communication among cells and among human beings, or between rules embedded in the genome and laws that govern human society. The book concludes with a glimpse of exciting future possibilities, including the generation of tissues and organs for use as “spare parts.”

Benny Shilo is professor in the Weizmann Institute’s department of molecular genetics. His lab was the first to identify conservation of cancer-causing genes in model organisms, and he has received numerous awards, including the Michael Bruno award, which is given to Israeli scholars and scientists under the age of fifty whose work shows of truly exceptional promise.

THE KILLING COMPARTMENTS The Mentality of Mass Murder The twentieth century was among the bloodiest in the history of humanity. Untold millions were slaughtered. How people are enrolled in the service of evil is a question that continues to bedevil society. In this trenchant book, Abram de Swaan offers a taxonomy of mass violence that focuses on the rank-and-file perpetrators, examining how murderous regimes recruit them and create what the author calls the "killing compartments” that make possible the worst abominations without apparent moral misgiving, without a sense of personal responsibility, and, above all, without pity. Adam de Swaan wonders where extreme violence comes from and where it goes—seemingly without a trace—when the wild and barbaric gore is over. What about the perpetrators themselves? Are they merely and only the product of external circumstance? Or is there something in their makeup that disposes them to become mass murderers? Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, political science, history, and psychology, Adam de Swaan sheds new light on an urgent and intractable mindset that continues to poison human affairs all over the world.

Abram de Swaan is emeritus university professor of social science at the University of Amsterdam. He was dean of the Amsterdam School of Social Science Research since its foundation in 1987 until 1997 and has been its chair since. In 2006 he was knighted in the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands and received the national award for literature, the P.C. Hooft prize, for his essays.
