PUBLICATIONS

Africa After Apartheid: South Africa, Race, and Nation in TanzaniaIndiana University Press, 2012Richard A. SchroederDepartment of Geography, School of Arts and Sciences

Tracing the expansion of South African business into other areas of Africa in the years after apartheid, Richard A. Schroeder explores why South Africans have not always made themselves welcome guests abroad. By looking at investments in Tanzania, a frontline state in the fight for liberation, Schroeder focuses on the encounter between white South Africans and Tanzanians and the cultural, social, and economic controversies that have emerged as South African firms assume control of local assets. Africa after Apartheid affords a penetrating look at the unexpected results of the expansion of African business opportunities following the demise of apartheid.

An American Diplomat in Franco SpainHansen Publishing Group, LLC 2012Michael Aaron RocklandDepartment of American Studies, School of Arts and Sciences

An American Diplomat in Franco Spain is filled with delicious behind-the-scenes stories told by author Michael Aaron Rockland who was a cultural attaché at the United States embassy in Madrid, Spain in the 1960s. The one concerning the day Rockland spent alone with Martin Luther King in Madrid, of all places, is not only poignant but funny. It presents King as a human being more than as a hero and national icon. From Marx Brothers-like attempts to avoid shaking hands with Spain’s dictator in a receiving line, to a search for missing hydrogen bombs, to touching, humanized portraits of celebrities with their hair down, Rockland brings the trivial and the historically significant together into a warm snapshot of a time just as American culture

Women’s Studies: The BasicsRoutledge, 2013Bonnie G. SmithDepartment of History, School of Arts and Sciences

Women’s Studies: The Basics is an accessible introduction into the ever expanding and increasingly relevant field of studies focused on women. Tracing the history of the discipline from its origins, this text sets out the main agendas of women’s studies and feminism, exploring the global development of the subject over time, and highlighting its relevance in the contemporary world. Reflecting the diversity of the field, core themes include: the interdisciplinary nature of women’s studies; core feminist theories and the feminist agenda; issues of intersectionality: women, race, class and gender; women, sexuality and the body; global perspectives on the study of women; the relationship between women’s studies and gender studies. Providing a firm foundation for all those new to the subject, this book is valuable reading for undergraduates and postgraduates majoring in women’s studies and gender studies, and all those in related disciplines seeking a helpful overview for women-centered, subject specific courses.

was changing forever. The book’s “Afterword,” when Rockland returned to the United States after six years abroad, is a vivid look at that change and how deeply it affected him. What comes through ringingly is his life-long love affair with Spain and its culture that Rockland’s years there engendered. Reading his book, it’s hard not to fall in love with Spain, too.

The American Non-Dilemma: Racial Inequality Without RacismRussell Sage Foundation, 2013Nancy DiTomaso Department of Management and Global Business, Rutgers Business School

The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s seemed to mark a historical turning point in advancing the American dream of equal opportunity for all citizens, regardless of race. Yet 50 years on, racial inequality remains a troubling fact of life in American society and its causes are highly contested. In The American Non-Dilemma, sociologist Nancy DiTomaso convincingly argues that America’s enduring racial divide is sustained more by whites’ preferential treatment of members of their own social networks than by overt racial discrimination. Drawing on research from sociology, political science, history, and psychology, as well as her own interviews with a cross-section of non-Hispanic whites, DiTomaso provides a comprehensive examination of the persistence of racial inequality in the post-Civil Rights era and how it plays out in today’s economic and political context. DiTomaso interviewed a sample of working, middle, and upper-class whites about their life histories, political views, and general outlook on racial inequality in America. While the vast majority of whites profess strong support for civil rights and equal opportunity regardless of race, they continue to pursue their own group-based advantage, especially in the labor market where whites tend to favor other whites in securing jobs protected from market competition. This “opportunity hoarding” leads to substantially improved life outcomes for whites due to their greater access to social resources from family, schools, churches, and other institutions with which they are engaged.

Woman and Gender in Postwar Europe: From Cold War to European UnionRoutledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2012Edited by Joanna Regulska and Bonnie G. SmithDepartment of Women’s and Gender Studies (Regulska), Department of History (Smith), School of Arts and Sciences

Women and Gender in Postwar Europe charts the experiences of women across Europe from 1945 to the present day. Europe at the end of World War II was a sorry testimony to the human condition; awash in corpses, the infrastructure devastated, food and fuel in such short supply. From Soviet Union to the United Kingdom and Ireland the vast majority of citizens on whom survival depended, in the postwar years, were women. This book charts the involvement of women in postwar reconstruction through the Cold War and post Cold-War years with chapters on the economic, social, and political dynamism that characterized Europe from the 1950s onwards, and goes on to look at the woman’s place in a rebuilt Europe that was both more prosperous and as tension-filled as before. The chapters both look at broad trends across both eastern and western Europe; such as the horrific aftermath of World War II, but also present individual case studies that illustrate those broad trends in the historical development of women’s lives and gender roles. The case studies show difference and diversity across Europe whilst also setting the experience of women in a particular country within the broader historical issues and trends, in such topics as work, professionalization, sexuality, consumerism, migration, and activism. The introduction and conclusion provide an overview that integrates the chapters into the more general history of this important period.

together research on both race and class, along with the life experiences of DiTomaso’s interview subjects, The American Non-Dilemma provides a compelling exploration of how racial inequality is reproduced in today’s society, how people come to terms with the issue in their day-to-day experiences, and what these trends may signify in the contemporary political landscape.

America’s Economic Way of War: War and the US Economy from the Spanish-American War to the Persian Gulf WarCambridge University Press, 2012Hugh RockoffDepartment of Economics, School of Arts and Sciences

How did economic and financial factors determine how America waged war in the twentieth century? This important new book exposes the influence of economics and finance on the questions of whether the nation should go to war, how wars would be fought, how resources would be mobilized, and the long-term consequences for the American economy. Ranging from the Spanish-American War to the Gulf War, Hugh Rockoff explores the ways in which war can provide unique opportunities for understanding the basic principles of economics as wars produce immense changes in monetary and fiscal policy and so provide a wealth of information about how these policies actually work. He shows that wars have been more costly to the United States than most Americans realize as a substantial reliance on borrowing from the public, money creation and other strategies to finance America’s war efforts have hidden the true cost of war.

Warrior Ways: Explorations in Modern Military Folklore Utah State University Press, 2012Edited by Eric A. Eliason and Tad Tuleja, chapter by Angus Kress GillespieDepartment of American Studies, School of Arts and Sciences

This book is a collection of twelve chapters dealing with the folklore that circulates among members of the American military establishment. Eleven of the chapters deal with the Army, the Marine Corps, and the Air Force. Only one chapter deals with the Navy and the Coast Guard. Written by Angus Kress Gillespie, it is entitled “Sea Service Slang,” with a humorous look at a wide variety of terms and their functions. He shows how informal language reveals the love-hate relationship that sailors have with the Navy. He also gives examples within the Coast Guard, by far the smallest of the services, of the cultural and linguistic divisions among those who serve on white-hulled law enforcement cutters, red-hulled icebreakers, and black-hulled service and repair vessels. Gillespie’s findings underscore the fact that, while there may be overarching pan-military traditions, much military lore is specific to individual branches, occupations, or units.

looks beyond this young girl’s words at the numerous ways people have engaged her life and writing. Apart from officially sanctioned works and organizations, there exists a prodigious amount of cultural production, which encompasses literature, art, music, film, television, blogs, pedagogy, scholarship, religious ritual, and comedy. Created by both artists and amateurs, these responses to Anne Frank range from veneration to irreverence. Although at times they challenge conventional perceptions of her significance, these works testify to the power of Anne Frank, the writer, and Anne Frank, the cultural phenomenon, as people worldwide forge their own connections with the diary and its author.

Anthropology & Political Science: A Convergent ApproachBerghahn Books, 2013Myron J. Aronoff and Jan KubikDepartment of Political Science, School of Arts and Sciences

What can anthropology and political science learn from each other? The authors argue that collaboration, particularly in the area of concepts and methodologies, is tremendously beneficial for both disciplines, though they also deal with some troubling aspects of the relationship. Focusing on the influence of anthropology on political science, the book examines the basic assumptions the practitioners of each discipline make about the nature of social and political reality, compares some of the key concepts each field employs, and provides an extensive review of the basic methods of research that “bridge” both disciplines: ethnography and case study. Through ethnography (participant observation), reliance on extended case studies, and the use of “anthropological” concepts and sensibilities, a greater understanding of some of the most challenging issues of the day can be gained. For example, political anthropology challenges the illusion of the “autonomy of the political” assumed by political science to characterize so-called modern societies. Several chapters include a cross-disciplinary analysis of key concepts and issues: political culture, political ritual, the politics of collective identity, democratization in divided societies, conflict resolution, civil society, and the politics of post-Communist transformations.

transforms the history of theory into a form of genealogy, meaning that the mother must somehow be involved in this process, even if, as in Marxism, she seems wholly absent, or if her contributions are discounted, as in psychoanalysis. Far from being marginalized, the mother shows herself throughout this book to be inherently multiple and therefore never simply who or what theory may want her to be. In a provocative coda, Parker considers how theory’s mother troubles will be affected retroactively by scientific advances that make it impossible to presume the mother’s gender.

Applications of Self-Regulated Learning across Diverse Disciplines: A Tribute to Barry J. ZimmermanInformation Age Publishing, Inc., 2013Edited by Héfer Bembenutty, Timothy J. Cleary, and Anastasia KitsantasDepartment of Applied Psychology, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology

Through its research-to-practice focus, this book honors the professional contributions of Professor Barry J. Zimmerman as illustrated by the recent self-regulation applications of a highly respected group of national and international scholars. This book will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in empowering and enabling learners to successfully manage and self-direct their lives, education, and careers. In particular, K-12 educators, college instructors, coaches, musicians, health care providers, and researchers will gain invaluable insight into the nature of self-regulation as well as how they can readily apply self-regulation principles into their teaching, instruction, or mentoring. Emergent trends in education and psychology circles, such as linking self-regulated learning assessment and interventions as well as the use of technology to enhance student learning and self-regulation, are additional themes addressed in the book. The kaleidoscope of self-regulation issues addressed in this book along with the wide range of promising intervention applications should also prove to be particularly appealing to graduate students as they pursue their future research activities and seek to optimize their individual growth and development.

The Theorist’s Mother Duke University Press, 2012Andrew Parker Department of French and Department of Comparative Literature, School of Arts and Sciences

In The Theorist’s Mother one of our subtlest literary theorists turns his attention to traces of the maternal in the lives and works of canonical male critical theorists. Noting how the mother is made to disappear both as the object of theory and as its subject, Andrew Parker focuses primarily on the legacies of Marx and Freud, who uniquely constrain their would-be heirs to “return to the origin” of each founding figure’s texts. Analyzing the effects of these constraints in the work of Lukács, Lacan, and Derrida, among others, Parker suggests that the injunction to return

Between Christian and Jew: Conversion and Inquisitions in the Crown of Aragon, 1250-1391University of Pennsylvania Press, 2012Paola TartakoffDepartment of Jewish Studies, School of Arts and Sciences

In 1341 in Aragon, a Jewish convert to Christianity was sentenced to death, only to be pulled from the burning stake and into a formal religious interrogation. His confession was as astonishing to his inquisitors as his brush with mortality is to us: the condemned man described a Jewish conspiracy to persuade recent converts to denounce their newfound Christian faith. His claims were corroborated by witnesses and became the catalyst for a

Studies on Alberti and PetrarchAshgate Publishing Company, 2012David MarshDepartment of Italian, School of Arts and Sciences

Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) was the most versatile humanist of the fifteenth century: author of numerous compositions in both Latin and Italian, and a groundbreaking theorist of painting, sculpture, and architecture. His Latin writings owe much to the model of Petrarch (1304-1374), the famed poet of the Italian Canzoniere, but also a prolific author of Latin epistles, biographies, and poems that sparked the revival of classical culture in the early Italian Renaissance. The essays collected here reflect some thirty years of research into these pioneers of Humanism, and offer important insights into forms of Renaissance ‘self-fashioning’ such as allegory and autobiography.

series of trials that unfolded over the course of the next twenty months. Between Christian and Jew closely analyzes these events, which Paola Tartakoff considers paradigmatic of inquisitorial proceedings against Jews in the period. The trials also serve as the backbone of her nuanced consideration of Jewish conversion to Christianity—and the unwelcoming Christian response to Jewish conversions—during a period that is usually celebrated as a time of relative interfaith harmony. The book lays bare the intensity of the mutual hostility between Christians and Jews in medieval Spain. Tartakoff’s research reveals that the majority of Jewish converts of the period turned to baptism in order to escape personal difficulties, such as poverty, conflict with other Jews, or unhappy marriages. They often met with a chilly reception from their new Christian brethren, making it difficult to integrate into Christian society. Tartakoff explores Jewish antagonism toward Christians and Christianity by examining the aims and techniques of Jews who sought to re-Judaize apostates as well as the Jewish responses to inquisitorial prosecution during an actual investigation. Prosecutions such as the 1341 trial were understood by papal inquisitors to be in defense of Christianity against perceived Jewish attacks, although Tartakoff shows that Christian fears about Jewish hostility were often exaggerated. Drawing together the accounts of Jews, Jewish converts, and inquisitors, this cultural history offers a broad study of interfaith relations in medieval Iberia.

Bringing together scholars of several countries and many disciplines, this volume also uniquely features the reflections of former activists.

Chemical Principles for Organic Chemistry Cengage Learning, 2012Robert S. BoikessDepartment of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, School of Arts and Sciences

While General Chemistry is the prerequisite for Organic Chemistry at virtually every school in the United States and Canada, an examination of the major textbooks for these courses reveals that a number of crucial topics are presented in very different ways or with very different emphases. As a result, students who begin Organic Chemistry are faced with additional obstacles to success. They must often “unlearn” some of the approaches they learned in General Chemistry and learn new

Cranbury: A New Jersey Town from the Colonial Era to the Present Rutgers University Press, 2012John Whiteclay Chambers IIDepartment of History, School of Arts and Sciences

In this beautifully illustrated book sponsored by Cranbury Landmarks, Inc., historian John Whiteclay Chambers II links the narrative of this remarkable place to contemporary debates about suburbanization and land-use planning. Founded in 1697 and soon featuring an inn, a gristmill, and a church, the village prospered due to its strategic location on important transportation routes between New York and Philadelphia and its fertile, productive farmland. David Brainerd, a famous and controversial young missionary, came there to preach to the Lenape Indians. In 1778, George Washington and his army stayed there on their way to the Battle of Monmouth. In the nineteenth century, roadways, railroads, and turnpikes spurred the town’s commerce and agriculture. Yet unlike many old agricultural centers transformed by suburbanization in the twentieth century, Cranbury has retained its picturesque, small-town image and much of its charm. Cranbury has the feel of a well-preserved nineteenth-century village, remarkable for its intact and cohesive domestic and commercial architecture—a status recognized when it was placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. In the last several decades, an active citizenry has innovatively linked the historic preservation of the town center with the

maintenance of adjoining farmland, stream corridors, and wildlife habitats. How Cranbury preserved much of its character while accommodating economic growth provides a central theme in this book. Preserving the best of the past while astutely meeting the challenges of the present, Cranbury’s history offers an inspiration for active civic participation, a model for enlightened development, and an engaging American story.

Crossroads and Cultures: A History of the World’s PeoplesBedford/St. Martin’s 2012Bonnie G. Smith, Marc Van De Mieroop, Richard Von Glahn, and Kris LaneDepartment of History, School of Arts and Sciences

Crossroads and Cultures: A History of the World’s Peoples incorporates the best current cultural history into a fresh and original narrative that connects global patterns of development with life on the ground. As the title, “Crossroads,” suggests, this new synthesis highlights the places and times where people exchanged goods and commodities, shared innovations and ideas, waged war and spread disease, and in doing so joined their lives to the broad sweep of global history. Students benefit from a strong pedagogical design, abundant maps and images, and special features that heighten the narrative’s attention to the lives and voices of the world’s peoples.

child protective services agencies, massive retooling of the CPS workforce, the rise of community surveillance groups and moral entrepreneurs, and the exploitation of fatality statistics by media and politicians the authors find evidence of outrage at work and its power to change social attitudes, worker decisions and organizational culture. In this book, Jungian psychology intersects with the punctuated equilibrium theory to provide a compelling explanation for the decisions made by public CPS agencies to protect children.

The Reception and Rendition of Freud in China: China’s Freudian SlipRoutledge, 2013Edited by Tao Jiang and Philip J. IvanhoeDepartment of Religion, School of Arts and Sciences

Although Freud makes only occasional, brief references to China and Chinese culture in his works, for almost a hundred years many leading Chinese intellectuals have studied and appropriated various Freudian theories. However, whilst some features of Freud’s views have been warmly embraced from the start and appreciated for their various explanatory and therapeutic values, other aspects have been vigorously criticized as implausible or inapplicable to the Chinese context. This book explores the history, reception, and use of Freud and his theories in China, and makes an original and substantial contribution to our understanding of the Chinese people and their culture as well as to our appreciation of western attempts to understand the people and culture of China. The essays are organized around three key areas of research. First, it examines the historical background concerning the China-Freud connection in the 20th century, before going on to use reconstructed Freudian theories in order to provide a modernist critique of Chinese culture. Finally, the book deploys traditional Chinese thought in order to challenge various aspects of the Freudian project. Both Freudianism’s universal appeal and its cultural particularity are in full display throughout the book. At the same time, the allure of Chinese cultural and literary expressions, both in terms of their commonality with other cultures and their distinctive characteristics, are also scrutinized.

Protecting Children in the Age of Outrage: A New Perspective on Child Protective Services ReformOxford University Press, 2013Radha Jagannathan and Michael J. CamassoDepartment of Urban Planning & Policy Development, Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy (Jagannathan); Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (Camasso)

This book proposes what, to many professionals in the child welfare field, will appear a radically different explanation for our society’s decisions to protect children from harm and for the significant drop in substantiated child abuse numbers. At the center of this conceptual and analytic approach is the contention that social outrage emanating from horrific and often sensationalized cases of child maltreatment plays a major role in CPS decision making and in child outcomes. The ebb and flow of outrage, the authors believe, invokes three levels of response that are consistent with patterns of the number of child maltreatment reports made to public child welfare agencies, the number of cases screened-in by these CPS agencies, the proportions of alleged cases substantiated as instances of real child abuse or neglect, and the numbers of children placed outside their homes. At the community level, outrage produces amplified surveillance and a posture of “zero-tolerance” while child protection workers, in turn, carry out their duties under a fog of “infinite jeopardy.” With outrage as a driving force, child protective services organizations are forced into changes that are disjointed and highly episodic; changes which follow a course identified in the natural sciences as abrupt equilibrium changes. Through such manifestations as child safety legislation, institutional reform litigation of state

periodic table of elements into a kind of concrete poetry. Leong’s glowing hieroglyphs show that the poetic Word emerges—as irony from iron—from the whirled atoms of the World itself. Indeed, Leong redefines the space-time of the page as a furnace of pure imagination, where the cadaver of modernist poetics is smelted with black humor, ‘form[ing] crystals and other alloys at the boundaries of meaning. Here, we discover that ‘Poetry is an ongoing reaction, a turning loose of the future.’ For time doesn’t exist without the possibility of revolution—and Leong has, in Cutting Time With a Knife, created a true ‘chamber of possibilities.’

Portrayals of Children in Popular Culture: Fleeting ImagesLexington Books, 2013 Edited by Vibiana Bowman Cvetkovic and Debbie Olson Paul Robeson Library, Rutgers University Libraries

Portrayals of Children in Popular Culture: Fleeting Images, edited by Vibiana Bowman Cvetkovic and Debbie Olson, is a collection which examines images of “children” and “childhood” in popular culture, including print, online, television shows, and films. The contributors to this volume explore the constructions of “children” and “childhood” rather than actual children or actual childhoods. In the chapters that are concerned with depictions of actual, individual children, the authors investigate how the images of those children conform or “trouble” current notions of what it means to be a child engaged in a contemporary “childhood.” This is a unique volume, because of the academic discourse which is employed—that of “Childhood Studies.” The Childhood Studies scholars represented in this collection utilize an interdisciplinary approach which draws upon various academic fields——their methodologies, theoretical approaches, and scholarly conventions——for the scholarly research in this collection. Together, the contributions to this collection interrogate classic notions of childhood innocence, knowledge, agency, and the fluid position of the signifier “child” within contemporary media forms. These interdisciplinary works function as a testament to the infectiousness of the child image in print, television, and cinematic contexts, and represent a new avenue of discursive scholarship;

It argues that the interactions between these two genres were not marginal occurrences but played a critical role in shaping what we now call modern Japanese literature from the 1880s around the time of the first detective fiction boom driven by Ruikō’s translations to the 1920s when a second detective fiction boom took place with Ranpo leading the way through his original stories.

Discussion-Based Online Teaching to Enhance Student Learning: Theory, Practice and Assessment – Second EditionStylus, 2012Tisha Bender English Writing Program, School of Arts and Sciences

The new edition of what is now considered a classic on online learning has been expanded by about a third to reflect new opportunities offered by social media, new insights and ideas derived from the author’s teaching in the eight years since she wrote the first edition, as well as from extensive research in the latest literature. In particular, Tisha Bender investigates whether the existing paradigm of teaching and learning has been changed, not so much because of the advent of the Internet, but because of the potential divide between the expectations and practices of students who are “digital natives” of the digital revolution, and those of their teachers who are mostly “digital immigrants”. She addresses the question: do we need to change the way we teach in order to reach and engage digital natives fruitfully and enjoyably in their education. This accessible and comprehensive book offers an engaging and practical approach to online teaching that is rooted in the author’s experience and enthusiasm for creating a virtual environment that engages students and fosters their deep learning. This is a book for all educators and administrators in higher education, in any discipline, engaged in, or contemplating offering, online classes that involve discussion or collaborative learning. It is relevant both to faculty teaching a hybrid and face-to-face classes, and courses conducted entirely online.

In 1975 Gary Schneider began working on a film that looked at the body and face in close-up. He used a still camera to storyboard and soon realized that the sequences did not need to be made into a film. When exhibited they comprised as few as one image and as many as sixteen. Unlike cinematic linear progression these sequences could be read from left to right or the reverse or episodically.

Doing Recent History: On Privacy, Copyright, Video Games, Institutional Review Boards, Activist Scholarship, and History That Talks BackThe University of Georgia Press, 2012Edited by Claire Bond Potter and Renee C. Romano; chapter by David Greenberg Department of History, School of Arts and Sciences and Department of Journalism & Media Studies, School of Communication and Information

Those who write about events that have taken place since 1970 encounter exciting challenges that are both familiar and foreign to scholars of a more distant past, including suspicions that their research is not historical enough, negotiation with living witnesses who have a very strong stake in their own representation, and the task of working with new electronic sources. Contributors to this collection consider a wide range of these challenges. They question how sources like television and video games can be better utilized in historical research, explore the role and regulation of doing oral histories, consider the ethics of writing about living subjects, discuss how historians can best navigate questions of privacy and copyright law, and imagine the possibilities that new technologies offer for creating transnational and translingual research opportunities. Doing Recent History offers guidance and insight to any researcher considering tackling the not-so-distant past.

Picasso and the Circus: Fin-de-Siecle Paris and the Suite de SaltimbanquesThe Trout Gallery, Dickinson College; Distributed by University of Washington Press, 2011Edited by Phillip Earenfight with essays by Christine Giviskos and Fernando Martin MartinZimmerli Art Museum

Focusing on prints (etchings, drypoints, color lithographs), Picasso and the Circus presents a pivotal moment in Picasso’s early career, between his Blue and Rose Periods, when he was increasingly drawn to the subject of the circus in Paris. The book analyzes the circus and related spectacles in fin-de-siecle Paris, and how they were interpreted by print arts of the era, including Jules Cheret, Henri-Gabriel Ibels, Henri Gray, Edgar Chahine, and Richard Ranft. It then considers Pablo Picasso’s Suite de Saltimbanques (1904-6), an early and highly important series of etchings and drypoints related primarily to acrobats (saltimbanques). The popularity of the circus in late 19th-and early 20th-century Paris certainly resonates in the works of many artists. From sensational - and sensationalized - feats of strength and prowess to moving depictions of poverty and the life of the outcast, these prints not only expand our understanding of the period, they also represent some of Picasso’s finest work.

Faking it: Manipulated Photography Before PhotoshopYale University Press, 2012Edited by Mia Fineman, includes an essay by Andrés Mario ZervigónDepartment of Art History, School of Arts and Sciences

Photographic manipulation is a familiar phenomenon in the digital era. What will come as a revelation to readers of this captivating, wide-ranging book is that nearly every type of manipulation we associate with Adobe’s now-ubiquitous Photoshop software was also part of photography’s predigital repertoire, from slimming waistlines and smoothing away wrinkles to adding people to (or removing them from) pictures, not to mention fabricating events that never took place. Indeed, the desire and determination to modify the camera image are as old as photography itself—only the methods have changed. By tracing the history of manipulated photography from the earliest days of the medium to the release of Photoshop 1.0 in 1990, Mia Fineman offers a corrective to the dominant narrative of photography’s development, in which champions of photographic “purity,” such as Paul Strand, Edward Weston, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, get all the glory, while devotees of manipulation, including Henry Peach Robinson, Edward Steichen, and John Heartfield, are treated as conspicuous anomalies. Among the techniques discussed on these pages—abundantly illustrated with works from an international array of public and private collections—are multiple exposure, combination printing, photomontage, composite portraiture, over-painting, hand coloring, and retouching. The resulting images are

The 466 men who have held the increasingly demanding and prestigious position of Head Coach in the National Football League and the two leagues that merged into it (the All America Football Conference of the 1940s and the American Football League of the 1960s) form an exclusive club. This book essentially answers three questions about every professional head coach since 1920: Who was he? What were his coaching approach and style, in terms of both leadership and gridiron tactics? How successful was he? Every entry begins with standard background information, followed by each coach’s yearly regular season and postseason coaching record, and then his statistical tendencies toward scoring, defense and play calling. The entry then addresses the three questions noted above.

Gulf War Reparations and the UN Compensation Commission: Environmental LiabilityOxford University Press, 2011Edited by Cymie R. Payne and Peter H. Sand Department of Human Ecology, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences

In Gulf War Reparations and the UN Compensation Commission: Environmental Liability, experts who held leadership positions and worked directly with the UNCC draw on their experience with the institution and provide a comprehensive view of the United Nations Compensation Commission and its work in the aftermath of the Gulf War. In this volume, the first of two on the UNCC’s work, the authors explain that the United Nations Security Council established the ad hoc compensation commission to address reparations as a component of the ceasefire following Iraq’s 1990-91 invasion and occupation of Kuwait. The authors also describe how the work of the United Nations Compensation Commission addressed important questions of state responsibility, environmental liability, mass claims processing, international law, and dispute settlement institutions in the post-armed conflict context. Readers will also learn that the scope and the scale of the UNCC was extraordinary, since almost 2.7 million claims from 80-plus countries were submitted to the Commission (which awarded in excess of $55 billion and has paid out more than half of that total), and that this led to the development of innovative procedural, institutional and managerial approaches in handling mass, environmental, and corporate claims at a scale that is unparalleled. Additionally, the books note that the Commission also contributed to the evolution of international jurisprudence in these areas.

Handbook of Culturally Responsive School Mental Health: Advancing Research, Training, Practice, and PolicySpringer, 2012Edited by Caroline S. Clauss-Ehlers, Zewelanji N. Serpell, Mark D. Weist Department of Educational Psychology, Graduate School of Education

Schools across the United States – as well as much of the world – are experiencing widespread change. Students are more diverse ethnically, academically, and emotionally. More attention is being paid to abuse and neglect, violence and bullying, and the growing inequities that contribute to student dropout. Within this changing landscape, cultural competence is imperative for school-based professionals, both ethically and as mandated by educational reform. The Handbook of Culturally Responsive School Mental Health explores the academic and behavioral challenges of an increasingly diverse school environment, offering workable, cost-effective solutions in an accessible, well-organized format. This timely volume updates the research on cultural competence in school-based interventions, describes innovative approaches to counseling and classroom life, and demonstrates how this knowledge is used in successful programs with children, adolescents, and their families. Populations covered range widely, from African American and Asian American/Pacific Islander families to forced migrants and children who live on military bases.

Molecular Theory of the Living Cell: Concepts, Molecular Mechanisms, and Biomedical ApplicationsSpringer, 2012Sungchul JiDepartment of Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Pharmacy

This book summarizes the results of the author’s four decades of searching for the molecular principles underlying the living cell and took four years to be written. One of the most surprising findings is that a mathematical equation, referred to as the blackbody radiation-like equation (BRE), fits (i) protein folding Gibbs free energy data of the 4,300 proteins of E. coli, (ii) the single-molecule enzymic activity of cholesterol oxidase (Section 11.3.3), and (iii) the whole-cell transcription rate and transcript level data measured from budding yeast undergoing glucose-galactose shift (Section 12.12). Because the mathematical form of BRE is identical to that of the blackbody radiation equation discovered by M. Planck in 1900 which led to the quantization of the energy of electrons in atoms, it was postulated that the Gibbs free energy levels of enzymes in living cells are also quantized. The quantization of the energy levels of electrons in atoms accounted for the structural regularities of matter embodied in the periodic table. Similarly the discovery of BRE and the consequent quantization of Gibbs free energy of enzymes in living cells (Section 12.14) may account for the functional regularities of living matter, i.e., cells, and their higher-order structures including the human brain. The fitting of biological data to BRE demonstrated in this book has a two-fold significance: i) molecular and cell biology are connected to quantum mechanics , and ii) the quantization of Gibbs free energies of biopolymers inside the cell accounts for the stability of the physical and chemical processes that underlie cell functions, thus providing a molecular explanation of life.

The Meeting: On the Life and Work of Karl SpörkSchlebrügge Editor, 2012Edited by Nick KlineDepartment of Arts, Culture and Media, Newark College of Arts and Sciences

The Meeting was a group exhibition in New York City in 2011 reflecting on the life and work of Viennese artist Karl Spörk (1968-2010). Spörk’s work is so contemporary in its precise minimal gesture, its lightness, absurdity and layered shifting frames of reference. Themes of seeking approval, conversations and confrontations with art and cultural history, the fluidity of identity, the struggle to stay connected to self and of being isolated from the other, all run trough Spörk’s oeuvre.

The Mexican Revolution – A Brief History With Documents Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2012Mark WassermanDepartment of History, School of Arts and Sciences

During the Mexican Revolution a remarkable alliance of peasants, working and middle classes, and elites banded together to end General Porfirio Diaz’s thirty-five year rule as dictator-president and created a radical new constitution that demanded education for all children, redistributed land and water resources, and established progressive labor laws. In this collection, Mark Wasserman examines the causes, conduct, and consequences of the revolution and carefully untangles the shifting alliances of the participants. In his introduction Wasserman outlines the context for the revolution, rebels’ differing goals for land redistribution, and the resulting battles between rebel leaders and their generals. He also examines daily life and the conduct of the revolution, as well as its national and international legacy. The accompanying selected sources include political documents along with dozens of accounts from politicians and generals to male and female soldiers, civilians, and journalists. Collectively they offer insight into the reasons for fighting, the politics behind the war, and the revolution’s international legacy. Document head notes, a

Illness as NarrativeUniversity of Pittsburgh Press, 2012Ann JurecicDepartment of English, School of Arts and Sciences

For most of literary history, personal confessions about illness were considered too intimate to share publicly. By the mid-twentieth century, however, a series of events set the stage for the emergence of the illness narrative. The increase of chronic disease, the transformation of medicine into big business, the women’s health movement, the AIDS/HIV pandemic, the advent of inexpensive paperbacks, and the rise of self-publishing all contributed to the proliferation of narratives about encounters with medicine and mortality. While the illness narrative is now a staple of the publishing industry, the genre itself has posed a problem for literary studies. What is the role of criticism in relation to personal accounts of suffering? Can these narratives be judged on aesthetic grounds? Are they a collective expression of the lost intimacy of the patient-doctor relationship? Is their function thus instrumental—to elicit the reader’s empathy? To answer these questions, Ann Jurecic turns to major works on pain and suffering by Susan Sontag, Elaine Scarry, and Eve Sedgwick and reads these alongside illness narratives by Jean-Dominique Bauby, Reynolds Price, and Anne Fadiman, among others. In the process, she defines the subgenres of risk and pain narratives and explores a range of critical responses guided, alternately, by narrative empathy, the hermeneutics of suspicion, and the practice of reparative reading.

Meeting at Grand Central: Understanding the Social and Evolutionary Roots of CooperationPrinceton University Press, 2013Lee Cronk and Beth L. LeechDepartment of Anthropology (Cronk) and Department of Political Science (Leech), School of Arts and Sciences

From the family to the workplace to the marketplace, every facet of our lives is shaped by cooperative interactions. Yet everywhere we look, we are confronted by proof of how difficult cooperation can be--snarled traffic, polarized politics, overexploited resources, social problems that go ignored. The benefits to oneself of a free ride on the efforts of others mean that collective goals often are not met. But compared to most other species, people actually cooperate a great deal. Why is this? Meeting at Grand Central brings together insights from evolutionary biology, political science, economics, anthropology, and other fields to explain how the interactions between our evolved selves and the institutional structures we have created make cooperation possible. The book argues that cooperation and its failures are best explained by evolutionary and social theories working together. Selection sometimes favors cooperative tendencies, while institutions, norms, and incentives encourage and make possible actual cooperation.

Drawing on methods and approaches from anthropology, media studies, film theory, and cultural studies, the contributors to Media, Erotics, and Transnational Asia examine how mediated eroticism and sexuality circulating across Asia and Asian diasporas both reflect and shape the social practices of their producers and consumers.

John Heartfield and the Agitated Image: Photography, Persuasion, and the Rise of Avante-Garde Photomontage University of Chicago Press, 2012Andrés Mario ZervigónDepartment of Art History, School of Arts and Sciences

Working in Germany between the two world wars, John Heartfield (born Helmut Herzfeld, 1891–1968) developed an innovative method of appropriating and reusing photographs to powerful political effect. As a pioneer of modern photomontage, he sliced up mass media photos with his iconic scissors and then reassembled the fragments into compositions that utterly transformed the meaning of the originals. In John Heartfield and the Agitated Image, Andrés Mario Zervigón explores this crucial period in the life and work of a brilliant, radical artist whose desire to disclose the truth obscured by the mainstream press and imperial propaganda made him a de facto prosecutor of Germany’s visual culture. Zervigón charts the evolution of Heartfield’s photomontage from an act of antiwar resistance into a formalized and widely disseminated political art in the Weimar Republic. Appearing on everything from campaign posters to book covers, the photomonteur’s notorious pictures challenged well-worn assumption and correspondingly walked a dangerous tightrope over the political, social, and cultural cauldron that was interwar Germany. Zervigón explains how Heartfield’s engagement

with montage arose from a broadly-shared dissatisfaction with photography’s capacity to represent the modern world. The result was likely the most important combination of avant-garde art and politics in the twentieth century. A rare look at Heartfield’s early and middle years as an artist and designer, this book provides a new understanding of photography’s role at this critical juncture in history.

The Making of the West: Peoples and Cultures – Fourth EditionBedford/St. Martin’s, 2012Lynn Hunt, Thomas R. Martin, Barbara H. Rosenwein, Bonnie G. Smith Department of History

Students of Western civilization need more than facts. They need to understand the cross-cultural, global exchanges that shaped Western history; to be able to draw connections between the social, cultural, political, economic, and intellectual happenings in a given era; and to see the West not as a fixed region, but a living, evolving construct. These needs have long been central to The Making of the West. The book’s chronological narrative emphasizes the wide variety of peoples and cultures that created Western civilization and places them together in a common context, enabling students to witness the unfolding of Western history, understand change over time, and recognize fundamental relationships.

some as an unconstitutional usurpation and by others as an inadequate half-measure—up to the present, as historians have discounted its import and impact. At the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, Louis Masur seeks to restore the document’s reputation by exploring its evolution. Lincoln’s Hundred Days is the first book to tell the full story of the critical period between September 22, 1862, when Lincoln issued his preliminary Proclamation, and January 1, 1863, when he signed the final, significantly altered, decree. In those tumultuous hundred days, as battlefield deaths mounted, debate raged. Masur commands vast primary sources to portray the daily struggles and enormous consequences of the president’s efforts as Lincoln led a nation through war and toward emancipation. With his deadline looming, Lincoln hesitated and calculated, frustrating friends and foes alike, as he reckoned with the anxieties and expectations of millions. We hear these concerns, from poets, cabinet members and foreign officials, from enlisted men on the front and free blacks as well as slaves. Masur presents a fresh portrait of Lincoln as a complex figure who worried about, listened to, debated, prayed for, and even joked with his country, and then followed his conviction in directing America toward a terrifying and thrilling unknown.

Known in her lifetime primarily as a literary scholar, Lydia Ginzburg (1902–1990) has become celebrated for a body of writing at the intersections of literature, history, psychology, and sociology. In highly original prose, she acted as a chronicler of the Soviet intelligentsia, a philosopher-cum-ethnographer of the Leningrad Blockade, and an author of powerful non-fictional narratives. She was a humanistic thinker with deep insights into psychological and moral dimensions of life and death in

Liberty and Justice for All? Rethinking Politics in Cold War AmericaUniversity of Massachusetts Press, 2012Edited by Kathleen G. Donohue, chapter by David Greenberg Department of History, School of Arts and Sciences and Department of Journalism & Media Studies, School of Communication and Information

From the congressional debate over the fall of China to the drama of the Army McCarthy hearings to the kitchen faceoff between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev, the political history of the early Cold War was long dominated by studies of presidential administrations, anticommunism, and foreign policy. In Liberty and Justice for All? a group of distinguished historians representing a variety of disciplinary perspectives social history, cultural history, intellectual history, labor history, urban history, women s history, African American studies, and media studies expand on the political history of the early Cold War by rethinking the relationship between politics and culture. How, for example, did folk music help to keep movement culture alive throughout the 1950s? How did the new medium of television change fundamental assumptions about politics and the electorate? How did American experiences with religion in the 1950s strengthen the separation of church and state? How did race, class, and gender influence the relationship between citizens and the state? These are just some of the questions addressed in this wide-ranging set of essays.
