Barnstone, Willis, trans.
THE POEMS OF JESUS CHRIST
“Consider the lilies of the field,/ how they grow. They do not labor or spin/ But I tell you not even
Shlomoh in all his splendor/ Was clothed like one of these lilies.” Jesus Christ is the great
invisible poet of the world. In translation from Aramaic speech into Greek, Latin, and English,
the lyrics were transformed into prose and for two millennia we have not recognized the stunning
poetry of the gospels. Jesus’s poems are rich with garden, animal, nature imagery. Austere and
poignant, they move from diverse maxim to the culminating “darkness at noon.” Willis Barnstone
is a poet, translator, and religious scholar. He is the author of The Gnostic Bible and The Restored
New Testament and is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Indiana University.

Barrie, J.M., edited by Maria Tatar
THE ANNOTATED PETER PAN
One hundred years after J. M. Barrie published the novel Peter and Wendy, Maria Tatar revisits a
story that, like Alice in Wonderland, bridges the generations, animating both adults and
children. Inspired by Barrie’s real-life adventures with the five Llewelyn Davies boys he adopted,
the story of Peter Pan has a deep and controversial history of its own that comes alive in Tatar’s
new edition. This brilliantly designed volume—with period photographs, full-color images by
iconic illustrators, commentary on stage and screen versions, and an array of supplementary
material, including Barrie’s screenplay for a silent film—will draw readers into worlds of
incandescent beauty. Maria Tatar chairs the Program in Folklore and Mythology at Harvard
University. She is the editor and translator of The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen, The
Annotated Brothers Grimm, and The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales.

Biel, Stephen
DOWN WITH THE OLD CANOE: A Cultural History of the Titantic Disaster, Revised
and Updated
Everyone from suffragists to their opponents; radicals, reformers, and capitalists; critics of
technology and modern life; racists and xenophobes and champions of racial and ethnic equality;
editorial writers and folk singers, preachers and poets, found moral and cultural lessons in the
sinking of the Titanic. In a new edition that both commemorates the one hundredth anniversary of
the disaster and elaborates, in a revised afterword, on the ship’s continued impact on the public
imagination (evidenced by the Titanic mania evoked by James Cameron’s 1997 film), Steven Biel
explores the Titanic in all its complexity and contradictions. Steven Biel’s other books include
American Gothic: A Life of America’s Most Famous Painting. He is the executive director of the
Mahindra Humanities Center and a senior lecturer on history and literature at Harvard University.

Broome, John
CLIMATE MATTERS: Ethics in a Warming World
Esteemed philosopher John Broome avoids the familiar ideological stances on climate change
policy and examines the issue through an invigorating new lens. As he considers the moral
dimensions of climate change, he reasons clearly through what universal standards of goodness
and justice require of us, both as citizens and as governments. His conclusions—some as
demanding as they are logical—will challenge and enlighten. From the science of greenhouse
gases to the intricate logic of cap and trade, Broome reveals how the principles that underlie
everyday decision making also provide simple and effective ideas for confronting climate change.
John Broome is the White’s Professor of Moral Philosophy at University of Oxford. He is also a
lead author on Working Group III of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change. A title in
the Amnesty International / Norton Global Ethics Series.

Carpenter, Dale
FLAGRANT CONDUCT: The Story of Lawrence v. Texas
Equal parts investigative legal history and compelling detective tale, Flagrant Conduct is the stilluntold story of Lawrence v. Texas, the landmark Supreme Court decision that promises to be the
Brown v. Board of gay rights. From the 1998 arrest of Houston defendants John Lawrence and
Tyron Garner, charged with sodomy in Lawrence's own bedroom, to the stirring Supreme Court
ruling five years later, Flagrant Conduct is an insightful work of formidable scholarship. Dale
Carpenter is the Earl R. Larson Professor of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Law at the
University of Minnesota Law School. He lives in Minneapolis.

Coren, Stanley
DO DOGS DREAM? Nearly Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know
Do dogs dream? Can they recognize themselves in the mirror, or understand what they’re seeing
on television? Are they more intelligent than cats? People have a great curiosity about—and
many misunderstandings about—how dogs think, act, and perceive the world. Stanley Coren
brings decades of scientific research on dogs to bear to give us unprecedented insight into the
inner lives of our canine companions and to dispel many common myths that people have about
dogs. In a conversational Q&A format with illustrations, Coren answers approximately 75
questions often asked of him during his nearly fifty-year career as a dog researcher. Stanley
Coren is a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of British Columbia. He is the
author of The Intelligence of Dogs and other bestsellers about dogs. He, his wife, and their two
dogs live in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Crease, Robert P.
WORLD IN THE BALANCE: The Historic Quest for a Universal System of Measurement
Millions of transactions each day depend on a reliable network of weights and measures. This
network has been called a greater invention than the steam engine, and comparable only to the
development of the printing press. Robert P. Crease traces the evolution of this international
system from the use of flutes to measure distance in ancient China and figurines to weigh gold in
West Africa, to the creation of the French metric and British imperial systems. Robert P. Crease
writes the “Critical Point” column for Physics World. He is the chairman of the Philosophy
Department at Stony Brook University and lives in New York City. He is the author of, among
other books, The Great Equations.

Deacon, Terence W.
INCOMPLETE NATURE: How Mind Emerged from Matter
Leading biological anthropologist and neuroscientist Terrence W. Deacon offers a radical new
approach to the riddle of consciousness. The fact that minds emerged from life and life emerged
from inanimate matter leads Deacon to reexamine this mystery. While the same kinds of atoms
make up rivers, bacteria, and human brains, Deacon shows how their dynamic relationships
produce their different properties. In Incomplete Nature, he reveals a missing link: emergent
processes that are neither fully mental nor merely material, but that provide a bridge connecting
the two. He demonstrates how functions, intentions, representations, and values—despite their
apparent nonmaterial character—can nevertheless produce physical consequences. Terrence W.
Deacon is a professor of biological anthropology and neuroscience and the chair of anthropology
at the University of California, Berkeley. The author of The Symbolic Species, he lives near
Berkeley, California.

Dolan, Marc
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE PROMISE OF ROCK N’ ROLL
Smart and incisive, this unique book takes us through Bruce Springsteen’s life by tracing the
cultural, political, and biographical forces that shaped his music. Beyond his constant stylistic
adaptations, Springsteen developed over the decades from expressing the voice of a guy from
working-class New Jersey, to writing about the larger issues facing the country including war,
class disparity, and prejudice. Marc Dolan draws on a range of new and little-known sources—
including hundreds of unreleased studio recordings and bootlegs of live performances—making
this an indispensible reference for avid Springsteen fans as well as those interested in learning the
stories behind his music. Marc Dolan is Associate Professor of English, American Studies, and
Film Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, and at the CUNY Graduate Center.
He lives in Brooklyn.

Eisler, Benita
THE RED MAN’S BONES: The Life and Art of George Catlin
George Catlin painted more than 600 portraits of individual chiefs, braves, squaws and children
of the Northern Plains Indian tribes between 1830 and 1836. He also recorded astonishing
landscapes, bison hunts, and ceremonies, including the Mandan coming-of-age torture ritual,
which no white man had ever witnessed. In 1839, Catlin left for Europe, where he began
exhibiting Iowas and Ojibwas. In the process, he changed from advocate to exploiter. Many of the
Indians died, as did Catlin's wife and only son; he was thrown into debtor's prison, and all his
works were seized. Catlin's two volumes on the Plains Indians place him among America's great
writers on the ethnology of the Native American and exploration of the West. Benita Eisler is the
author of biographies of Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz; Lord Byron; Frederic Chopin;
and George Sand. She lives in New York City.

Ford, Richard Thompson
UNIVERSAL RIGHTS DOWN TO EARTH
The acclaimed author of The Race Card, legal scholar Richard Thompson Ford offers an expert
analysis of human rights struggles across the globe, uncovering the complex realities of observing
“universal” principles in specific cultures. As he considers thinkers such as Edmund Burke and
Karl Marx, Ford sketches divergent views on how we define rights before he offers his critique:
on the ground, rights ultimately depend on a dense network of institutions and an underlying civic
culture for enforcement. In fact, even well-meaning reforms can lead in practice to increased
exploitation of the people they would protect. With a clear, persuasive voice, Ford explores five
cases—from distributing food to the poor in India to sex-trafficking in Japan—and concluds that
we must engage locally—in local laws, institutions, and social relationships—to realize
meaningful change. Richard Thompson Ford is the George E. Osborne Professor of Law at
Stanford Law School. He has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco
Chronicle, Christian Science Monitor, and Slate. A title in the Amnesty International / Norton
Global Ethics Series.

Glass, Phillip
AUTOBIOGRAPY
No contemporary American composer has had a greater influence both on contemporary music
and the larger popular culture than Philip Glass. Born in Baltimore in 1937, Glass, now in his
75th year, has chosen to write a full-length recollection of a life in music. A prodigy student at the
University of Chicago, Glass later studied composition both at Julliard and under the legendary
Nadia Boulanger in Paris. In this writing, he recreates the story of his youth and his musical
influence -- from working in his father's Baltimore record store to early experiences with
collaborating with Ravi Shankar and later with Allen Ginsberg. The work becomes not only a
personal account of Glass's life but also a larger story of Glass's intersection with the cultural
forces that would change the worlds of music and art in the last part of the twentieth century.

ENDURING SURVIVAL
The survival experience—of a plane crash, a mountaineering disaster, a roadside bombing—
changes everything. It has the effect of invalidating all one’s previous adaptations. In some cases
survivors suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they
have to work hard to reinvent themselves. In many inspiring cases, they find that their lives are
far richer for having gone through the ordeal. The survival experience raises the fundamental
question: How do you live in a world that has completely changed? What is the best strategy for
going on with life? What are the new rules?

Gorra, Michael
PORTRAIT OF A NOVEL: Henry James and the Story of an American Masterpiece
Henry James (1843–1916) has had many biographers, but Michael Gorra has taken an original
approach to this great American progenitor of the modern novel, combining elements of
biography, criticism, and travelogue in recreating the dramatic back-story of James’ masterpiece,
Portrait of a Lady (1881). Gorra, an eminent literary critic, shows how this novel—the
scandalous story of the expatriate American heiress, Isabel Archer—came to be written in the
first place. Travelling to Florence, Rome, Paris, and England, Gorra sheds new light on James’s
family, the European literary circles—George Eliot, Flaubert, Turgenev—in which James made
his name, and the psychological forces that enabled him to create this most memorable of female
protagonists. Michael Gorra teaches English at Smith College. His books include After Empire,
and The Bells in Their Silence. He lives in Northampton, Massachusetts. Liveright.

THAT’S DIGUSTING: Unraveling the Mysteries of Repulsion
Disgust originated to prevent us from eating poisonous food, but this simple safety mechanism
has since evolved into a uniquely human emotion that dictates how we treat others, shapes our
cultural norms, and even has implications for our mental and physical health. That’s Disgusting
illuminates the science behind disgust, tackling such colorful topics as cannibalism, humor, and
pornography to address larger questions: Why do sources of disgust vary among people and
societies? Where does disgust come from in our brain and what deeper fears does it reflect? How
does disgust influence our individual personalities, our daily lives, and our values? Disgust
underlies more than we realize, from political ideologies to the lure of horror movies. Drawing on
surprising research in psychology and evolutionary biology, That’s Disgusting shows us that
disgust mirrors human nature and, as a result, is as complex and varied as we are. Rachel Herz
teaches at Brown University. She is the author of The Scent of Desire and regularly consults on
the psychology of smell for multinational companies and as an expert witness.

Impey, Chris
HOW IT BEGAN: A Time-Traveller’s Guide to the Universe
Telescopes are like time machines. Because it takes time for light to reach us, we see increasingly
distant regions of the universe as they looked in the successively greater past. Astronomer Chris
Impey uses this concept of “look-back time” to take us on an intergalactic tour from current-day
Earth to the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang. Pausing at landmarks such as the oldest
star and the first ray of light, Impey not only provides stunning visual descriptions but also
illustrates the latest theories of the origin of everything from black holes to matter itself. Chris
Impey is a University Distinguished Professor in the Astronomy Department at the University of
Arizona in Tucson. He is the author of The Living Cosmos and How It Ends. He lives in Tucson,
Arizona.

Jones, Seth
HUNTING IN THE SHADOWS: The Pursuit of al Qa’ida Since 9/11
This comprehensive, landmark history chronicles the decade-long battle against al-Qa’ida, the
greatest threat the West has faced in the modern era. An internationally recognized
counterterrorism expert, Jones presents a dramatic narrative of on-the-ground policework,
elaborate, multi-year investigations led by the CIA, FBI, and Britain’s M15, and the shifting and
deadly alliances between terrorists groups that have characterized the conflict. Brilliantly
synthesizing recently declassified documents and court materials, transcripts of wiretapped
conversations, and interviews with current and former government officials from the U.S. and key
allies, Jones navigates the “waves” (al Qa’ida attacks) and “reverse waves” (successful efforts to
disrupt al’Qa’ida), explaining how we can learn from past patterns in order to successfully
counter al Qa’ida and its allies in the future. A former Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary
of Defense for Special Operations based at the Pentagon, Seth G. Jones is the author of In the
Graveyard of Empires and currently a RAND analyst and Georgetown Adjunct Professor.

Kasparov, Gary, Max Levchin and Peter Thiel
THE BLUEPRINT: Reviving Innovation, Rediscovering Risk, and Rescuing the Free
Market
Where has the world’s innovation gone? The internal combustion engine, invented in 1876, still
rules our highways. The cancer death rate has barely changed since 1971. Today’s Internet was
actually designed in the 1960s. Challenging the notion that we are living in an age of unparalleled
technological progress, three of the world’s most original thinkers demonstrate that we have
become a risk-averse society, hobbled by tort laws and government regulations, short-term
financial thinking, and mind-numbing complacency. Garry Kasparov, the youngest ever World
Chess Champion, is also a writer and political activist. Max Levchin, cofounder of PayPal, was
recently named Google’s vice president of engineering. Peter Thiel, one of the initial investors in
Facebook, is the managing partner of the Founders Fund, based in San Francisco.

A LABYRINTH OF KINGDOMS: 10,000 Miles through Islamic Africa
In 1850 Heinrich Barth joined a small British expedition into unexplored regions of Islamic North
and Central Africa. One by one his companions died, but he carried on alone, eventually reaching
the fabled city of gold, Timbuktu. His five-and-a-half year, 10,000-mile adventure ranks among
the greatest journeys in the annals of exploration, and his discoveries are considered
indispensable by modern scholars of Africa. Yet because of shifting politics, European
preconceptions about Africa, and his own thorny personality, Barth has fallen through a crack in
history. The general public has never heard of him, or his epic journey, or his still-pertinent
observations about Africa and Islam, and his monumental five-volume Travels and Discoveries in
North and Central Africa is rare even in libraries. Steve Kemper is the author of Code Name
Ginger. His work has appeared in many national publications, including
Smithsonian and National Geographic. He is lives in West Hartford, Connecticut.

surfing, the Mavericks Surf Contest. In The Voodoo Wave, Mark Kreidler takes readers inside the

to ride Mavericks. Kreidler’s riveting account of the 2010 season captures the jaw-dropping
performance of South Africa’s Chris Bertish—who bested twenty-three other surfers amid the
biggest waves many had ever seen—as well as Clark’s clashes with the contest’s newly

AIR: Restless Shaper of the World
Air sustains the living. Every creature breathes to live, exchanging and changing the atmosphere.
Water and dust spin and rise, make clouds and fall again, fertilizing the dirt. Twenty thousand
fungal spores and half a million bacteria travel in a square foot of summer air. The chemical sense
of aphids, the ultraviolet sight of swifts, a newborn’s awareness of its mother’ s breast—all take
place in the medium of air. Ignorance of the air is costly. The artist Eva Hesse died of inhaling
her fiberglass medium. Thousands were sickened after 9/11 by supposedly “safe” air. The Sahel
suffers drought in part because we fill the air with industrial dusts. With the passionate narrative
and wide-ranging erudition that have made Logan’s work a touchstone for nature-lovers and
environmentalists, Air is a treasure trove of discovery drawn from the air. William Bryant
Logan is a certified arborist and Quill & Trowel Award-winning writer. He is the author of Oak

Magill, R. Jay
SINCERITY: How a Moral Ideal Born 500 Years Ago Inspired Religious Wars, Modern
Art, Hipster Chic, and the Curious Notion that We All Have Something Unique to Say
People have long been duped by "straight talking" politicians, confessional talk-show hosts, and
fake-earnest advertisers. As sincerity has become suspect, the upright and honest have taken
refuge in irony. Yet our struggle for authenticity in back-to-the-woods movements, folksy
songwriting, and a continued craving for sincere presidential candidates betrays our lingering
longing for the holy grail of sincerity. With deep historical perspective and a brilliant
contemporary spin, R. Jay Magill, Jr. argues that we can’t shake sincerity’s deep theological past,
emotional resonance, and sense of conscience. From Protestant theology to art by crazy people,
from French satire to the anti-hipster movement, Magill fearlessly navigates history, theology, art,
and politics to create a compelling portrait of an ideal. R. Jay Magill, Jr., the author of Chic Ironic
Bitterness, is an editor and writer at the American Academy in Berlin. His writing and

THE LIVES OF MARGARET FULLER: A Biography
A brilliant writer and a fiery social critic, Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) was perhaps the most
famous American woman of her generation. Outspoken and quick-witted, idealistic and
adventurous, she became the leading female figure in the transcendentalist movement, wrote a
celebrated column of literary and social commentary for Horace Greeley’s newspaper, and served
as the first foreign correspondent for an American newspaper. While living in Europe she fell in
love with an Italian nobleman, by whom she became pregnant out of wedlock. In 1848 she joined
the fight for Italian independence and, the following year, reported on the struggle while nursing
the wounded within range of enemy cannons. Amid all these strivings and achievements, she
authored the first great work of American feminism: Woman in the Nineteenth Century. John
Matteson is a professor of English at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of
New York. He was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in Biography for Eden’s Outcasts. He lives in

Montgomery, David R.
THE ROCKS DON’T LIE: A Geologist Investigates Noah’s Flood
In Tibet, geologist David Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking
similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world’s flood stories
and, drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists, discovered
the counter-intuitive role Noah’s Flood played in the development of geology and creationism.
Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding
principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders
of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of
geology. With an explorer’s eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery
takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. David R. Montgomery is a professor of
Geomorphology at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he lives. The author of Dirt
and King of Fish, he was a 2008 MacArthur Fellow.

LITERARY OUTLAW: The Life and Times of William S. Burroughs
With a new preface as well as a new final chapter on William S. Burroughs’s last years, the
acclaimed Literary Outlaw is the only existing full biography of this extraordinary figure.
Anarchist, heroin addict, alcoholic, and brilliant writer, Burroughs was the patron saint of the
Beats. His avant-garde masterpiece Naked Lunch shook the literary world with its graphic
descriptions of drug abuse and illicit sex—and resulted in a landmark Supreme Court ruling on
obscenity. Burroughs continued to revolutionize literature with novels like The Soft Machine, and
shock with the events in his life, such as the accidental shooting of his wife, which haunted him
until his death. Ted Morgan captures the man, his work, and friendsAllen Ginsberg and Paul
Bowles among themin this riveting story of an iconoclast. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ted

THE MAN WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING: Long-Distance Motorcycling’s Endless
Road
For the 50,000 members of the Iron Butt Association—also known as the “World’s Toughest

women push the limits of human endurance, often in rides of more than one thousand miles a day.
Perhaps the most determined of them is John Ryan, a diabetic and a man who even in late middle
age loves nothing better than riding impossible distances at no small risk to himself. But why?
Melissa Holbrook Pierson, herself a longtime motorcyclist, chronicles the gratifications of longdistance riding as well as the challenges and solitude that accompany it. Melissa Holbrook

Piot, Peter
NO TIME TO LOSE: A Life in Pursuit of Deadly Viruses
When Peter Piot was in medical school, a professor warned, “There’s no future in infectious
diseases. They’ve all been solved.” Fortunately, Piot ignored him, and the result has been an
exceptional, adventure-filled career. In the 1970s, as a young man, Piot was sent to Central Africa
as part of a team tasked with identifying a grisly new virus. Armed with suitcases of cash for
bribes, he met with patients and studied local customs to determine how this disease—the Ebola
virus—was spreading. Later, he traveled throughout Africa, leading the first international AIDS
initiatives there. Then, as founder and director of UNAIDS, he engaged with world leaders from
Fidel Castro to Thabo Mbeki and helped to turn the tide of the epidemic. Offering a rare behindthe-scenes look at global-health diplomacy, No Time To Lose is a candid, engrossing memoir of
discovery and adventure. Peter Piot, MD, PhD, is director of the legendary London School of
Tropical Medicine, former Undersecretary General of the UN, and former director of UNAIDS.

In Dreamland, Randall explores the research that is investigating those dark hours that make up
nearly a third of our lives. Taking readers from military battlefields to children’s bedrooms,
Dreamland shows that sleep isn’t as simple as it seems. Why did the results of one sleep study
change the bookmakers’ odds for certain Monday Night Football games? Do women sleep
differently than men? And if you happen to kill someone while you are sleepwalking, does it
count as murder? This book is a tour of the often odd, sometimes disturbing, and always
fascinating things that go on in the peculiar world of sleep. David K. Randall is a reporter at the
Associated Press, and has also written for Forbes, the New York Times, and New York magazine.
He is an adjunct professor of journalism at NYU and lives in Brooklyn.

Shahid, Humaira
DEVOTION AND DEFIANCE: My Fight for Justice for Women
In the fall of 2001, a young Pakistani woman took on a job editing the “women’s section” of one
of the country’s leading Urdu newspapers. Soon, the young mother of three transformed pages of
celebrity gossip and fashion advice into a vehicle for investigation of the true lives of Pakistani
women, shocking the nation. News of acid attacks on hapless women, the trading of girls as
currency in tribal disputes, and other abuses transformed Humaira Shahid into a fiery advocate
for women’s rights –one guided by Islamic ethics and ideals of social justice as she teaches rural
leaders to distinguish between religion and tribal custom. Her commitment to her countrywomen
led her to a seat in Parliament, where she continues to fight to protect women and girls. Humaira
Shahid is a journalist, legislator, and currently the lead representative of an international coalition
of 200 women’s organizations advocating for passage of the International Violence Against
Women Act. She lives in Lahore, Pakistan.

JUNG AND THE UNIVERSAL LITERATURE: Exhibition Catalogue
Geneva’s Fondation Martin Bodmer presents a selection of the literary works that inspired and
informed Carl Jung: classics of literature and religion, the philosophical and spiritual texts he
studied in his youth, and the works of the psychiatrists and psychologists with whom he studied
and collaborated. Ultimately revealing Jung’s reconception of world literature as proof that the
history of human thought lies in the soul, the exhibition, and its catalogue, will chart Jung’s
journey through text, belief, and creation through the display of works from Jung's library,
manuscripts, and selections of the Black Books and the Red Book.

Shorris, Earl
THE ART OF FREEDOM: Teaching the Humanities to the Poor
Inspired by an idea from a woman in a maximum-security prison that the difference between rich
and poor is the humanities, Shorris started a course at the Clemente Family Guidance Center in
New York. With a faculty of friends, he began teaching the humanities at college level
to dropouts, ex-prisoners, and immigrants. From that class came two dentists, a nurse, two Ph.D.s,
a fashion designer, a drug counselor, and other successes. Over sixteen years the course expanded
to many U.S. cities and foreign countries. Now Earl Shorris has written the stories of those who
teach and those who study the humanities, a tribute to the courage of people rising from
unspeakable poverty to engage in dialogue with professors from great universities around the
world. Earl Shorris, the author of many non-fiction works and novels, was awarded a National
Humanities Medal by President Clinton for his founding of the Clemente Course in the
Humanities®, Inc. He lives in New York.

Sikkink, Kathryn
THE JUSTICE CASCADE: How Human Rights Prosecutions are Changing World Politics
Acclaimed scholar and Grawemeyer Award winner Kathryn Sikkink examines the important and
controversial new trend of holding political leaders criminally accountable for human rights
violations. Sikkink offers a landmark argument for human rights prosecutions as a powerful
political tool. She shows how, in just three decades, state leaders in Latin America, Europe, and
Africa have lost their immunity from any accountability for their human rights violations,
becoming the subjects of highly publicized trials resulting in severe consequences. This shift is
affecting the behavior of political leaders worldwide and may change the face of global politics as
we know it. Kathryn Sikkink is a Regents Professor and the McKnight Presidential Chair of
Political Science at the University of Minnesota. She lives in Minneapolis.

Smith, Patti
THE CORAL SEA
Through the linked pieces of The Coral Sea, Patti Smith honors her comrade-in-arms Robert
Mapplethorpe (1946–1989). She tells the story of a man on an ocean journey to see the Southern
Cross, who is reflecting on his life and fighting the illness that is consuming him. Metaphoric and
dreamy, this tale of transformation arises from Smith’s knowledge of Mapplethorpe from a young
man to a mature artist; his close relationship with patron and friend, Sam Wagstaff; his years
surviving AIDS; and his ascent into death. This edition features a new introduction and new
material by Smith. Patti Smith is a legendary singer and songwriter, artist, and the best-selling
author of Just Kids, a memoir, and Early Work, verse pieces, among other publications. She lives
in New York City.

THAT’S NOT FUNNY, THAT’S SICK: The National Lampoon and the Comedy Insurgents
Who Captured the Mainstream
Labor Day, 1969. Two recent Harvard graduates move to New York to work on a magazine
called The National Lampoon. By the end of the decade, its brilliant editors, Henry Beard and
Doug Kenney, transformed American culture and conquer the mainstream with a brand of
subversive humor that provoked, offended and often enraged. With unparalleled access to the
architects and impresarios of this boom, journalist Ellin Stein takes us behind-the-parody to
witness the fighting and partying, collaboration and competition of those who led a rebellion of
the self-consciously disenchanted. At its zenith, the brand birthed the dervish-like antics of John
Belushi, the manic humor of Chevy Chase, and the savage wit of Bill Murray. Ellin Stein writes
arts features and criticism for publications including The New York Times, The Times (of
London), The Guardian, The Independent, and Variety. She lives in London.

Taylor, John
FIRST PRINCIPLES: Five Keys to Restoring America’s Prosperity
America’s economic future is uncertain. Mired in a long, crippling economic slump and
hamstrung by bitter partisan debate over the growing debt and the role of government, the nation
faces substantial challenges, exacerbated by a dearth of vision and common sense among its
leaders. Prominent Stanford University economist John B. Taylor offers a natural solution: start
with the country’s founding principles of economic and political freedom—limited government,
rule of law, strong incentives, reliance on markets, and a predictable policy framework—and
reconstruct its economic foundation from these proven principles. John B. Taylor is the Raymond
Professor of Economics at Stanford University and the George Shultz Senior Fellow at Stanford’s
Hoover Institution. He was Treasury Under Secretary for International Affairs from 2001 to 2005.

Tunstall, Tricia
CHANGING LIVES: Gustavo Dudamel, El Sistema, and the Transformative Power of
Music
When Gustavo Dudamel, at the age of twenty-eight, ascended the podium at the Hollywood Bowl
for his inaugural concert as conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he immediately
captivated the hearts of his audience, just as he had the minds of music critics who designated
him a modern-day Leonard Bernstein. In Changing Lives, the maestro’s story becomes the entry
point to an equally captivating subject: El Sistema, the music education program that nurtured his
musical talent, first as a young violinist and then as a budding conductor under the mentorship of
its founder, José Antonio Abreu. What began in Venezuela has now reached children in Los
Angeles, New York City, Baltimore, and cities around the world. Tricia Tunstall is both a writer
and a music educator. The author of Note by Note: A Celebration of the Piano Lesson, she has
written for the Kenyon Review and the New York Times.

Tyson, Neil deGrasse; edited by Avis Lange
SPACE CHRONICLES: The Dreams and Delusions of Space Enthusiasts
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a rare breed of astrophysicist, one who can speak as easily and brilliantly
to popular audiences as with professional scientists. Now that NASA has put human space flight
effectively on hold, Tyson’s views on the future of space travel and America’s role in that future
are especially timely and urgent. Space Chronicles represents the best of Tyson’s commentary,
including a candid new introductory essay on NASA and partisan politics, giving us an eyeopening manifesto on the importance of space exploration for America’s economy, security, and
morale. Thanks to Tyson’s fresh voice and trademark humor, his insights are as delightful as they
are provocative, on topics that range from the missteps that shaped our recent history of space
travel to how aliens, if they existed, might go about finding us. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an
astrophysicist and the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural
History. He has begun production of a new Cosmos series, premiering in early 2013. He lives in
New York City.

THE WANDERING GENE AND THE INDIAN PRINCESS: Race, Religion, and DNA
A vibrant young Hispano woman, Shonnie Medina, inherited a breast-cancer mutation known as
BRCA1.185delAG—a genetic variant characteristic of Jews. The Medinas believed that they
were descended from Native Americans and Spanish Catholics, but they had no knowledge of
Jewish ancestry. The discovery of the gene in the Hispano community lead to a fascinating
investigation of cultural history and modern genetics by Dr. Harry Ostrer and other experts on the
DNA of Jewish populations. Set in the isolated San Luis Valley of Colorado, this beautiful and
harrowing book tells of the Medina family’s five-hundred-year passage from medieval Spain to
the American Southwest. Her life embodies a story that could change the way we think about race
and faith. Jeff Wheelwright is a science writer and editor. He lives in Morro Bay, California.

Williams, Florence
BREASTS: A Natural and Unnatural History
Feted and fetishized, the breast is an evolutionary masterpiece. But in the modern world, the
breast is changing. Breasts are getting bigger, arriving earlier and attracting newfangled
chemicals. Increasingly, the odds are stacked against us in the struggle with breast cancer – even
among men. What makes breasts so mercurial – and so vulnerable? The intrepid journalist
Florence Williams retrieves the latest science from the fields of anthropology, biology, and
medicine. Her investigation follows the life cycle of the breast from puberty to pregnancy to
menopause, bringing her from a plastic surgeon’s office, where she learns about the importance
of cup size in Texas, to the lab where she discovers the presence of environmental toxins in her
own breast milk. Florence Williams is a contributing editor at Outside Magazine and her articles
and essays have been widely anthologized. Breasts was named a finalist for the 2011
Columbia/Nieman Lukas Work-in-Progress Award.

Wilson, E.O.
THE SOCIAL CONQUEST OF EARTH
Where did we come from? What are we? Where are we going? In a generational work of clarity
and passion, one of our greatest living scientists directly addresses these three fundamental
questions of philosophy, religion, and science, while “overturning the famous theory that
evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first.” Refashioning the story of human
evolution in a work that is certain to generate headlines, Wilson draws on his remarkable
knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection, not kin selection,
is the premier driving force of human evolution. He proves that history makes no sense without
prehistory, and prehistory makes no sense without biology. Demonstrating that the sources of
morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, Wilson presents us
with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition, and why it
resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere. Edward O. Wilson, one of the world’s
preeminent biologists, is the author of more than twenty-five books, including Sociobiology, the
Pulitzer Prize-winning The Ants and a bestselling novel, Anthill. A professor emeritus at Harvard
University, he lives in Lexington, Massachusetts. Liveright.

Wolff, Christoph
MOZART AT THE GATEWAY TO HIS FORTUNE: Serving the Emperor, 1788-1791
“I now stand at the gateway to my fortune,” Mozart wrote in a letter of 1790. He had entered into
the service of Emperor Joseph II of Austria two years earlier as Imperial-Royal Chamber
Composer—a salaried appointment with a distinguished title and few obligations. His
extraordinary subsequent output, beginning with the three final great symphonies from the
summer of 1788, invites a reassessment of this entire period of his life. Readers will gain a new
appreciation and understanding of the composer’s works from that time without the usual
emphasis on his imminent death. The author discusses the major biographical and musical
implications of the royal appointment and explores Mozart’s “imperial style” on the basis of his
major compositions—keyboard, chamber, orchestral, operatic, and sacred—and focuses on the
large, unfamiliar works he left incomplete. Christoph Wolff, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, is Adams
University Professor at Harvard University and one of the world’s foremost experts on Bach and
Mozart. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Wolff, Jonathan
THE HUMAN RIGHT TO HEALTH
Few topics in human rights have inspired as much debate as the right to health. Proponents would
enshrine it as a fundamental right on a par with freedom of speech and freedom from torture.
Detractors suggest that the movement constitutes an impractical overreach. Jonathan Wolff cuts
through the ideological stalemate to explore both views. In an accessible, persuasive voice, he
explores the philosophical underpinnings of the idea of a human right, assesses whether health
meets those criteria, and identifies the political and cultural realities we face in attempts to
improve the health of citizens in wildly different regions. Jonathan Wolff is a professor of
philosophy and the director of the Centre for Philosophy, Justice and Health at University College
London. He writes a regular column for The Guardian in London, where he resides. A title in the
Amnesty International / Norton Global Ethics Series.

THE CREATIVE CLASSROOM and WORKBOOK
Synthesizing data from a number of fields—developmental neurobiology, creative, play—this
book provides educators, administrators, and policy makers a road map to create student learners
who are fluid in their thinking. These skills of creativity are crucial to functioning in an
increasingly complex world. An accompanying teacher workbook is chock full of exercises and
skill-building sets for students, promoting essentially creative tasks: the capacity for adaptability
to change; how to recognize and question assumptions; how to tolerate and understand different
points of view; how to work as part of a group toward a common goal; and how to learn from
experience and mistakes.Victoria Stevens, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst,

SALVAGE SECRETS:Transforming Reclaimed Materials into Design Concepts
Sustainability and conservation are buzzwords in the construction and renovation of homes today.
It's therefore no surprise that "salvage design"-reusing old building materials and other types of
recycled goods-is becoming a popular technique, both for its environmentally friendly
functionality and for its unique design aesthetic. Here is an inspiring, practical guide that is also a
striking visual tour of the full range of interior design possibilities incorporating salvaged
materials. From using recycled wood as vintage flooring or accent beams to reclaiming stone as a
kitchen island or fitting salvaged tiles into a bathroom backsplash, the book covers a range of
materials and design concepts for different rooms and supplies technical information about what
to keep in mind (size, shape, color, structural needs, etc.), how to use the salvaged materials most
effectively, and where to go to find them.

PIONEERS IN PSYCHIATRY, 4th Edition
Since its publication over 30 years ago, Pioneers in Psychology has had a devoted following.
Students enjoy reading it because it tells compelling stories about the lives and ideas of the men
and women who developed psychology and its subfields. Rather than presenting a dry chronology
of names, dates, places, experiments, and theories, Pioneers in Psychology engages the student
with insights into the life experiences and thought processes that led psychology’s pioneers to
their contributions to the field. In the new edition, the treatment of social, personality, cognitive,
and applied psychology has been greatly expanded. New pedagogical aids (including chapter
outlines, summaries, discussion questions, and glossaries of key names & terms) make Pioneers
in Psychology the most student-friendly book on the market. Raymond E. Fancher is a Senior
Scholar and Professor Emeritus at York University in Toronto. Alexandra Rutherford is an

everyday lives, Psychological Science, Fourth Edition, addresses how, where, and why students
learn. Michael Gazzaniga (Ph.D., California Institute of Technology) is the David T. McLaughlin

CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2nd Edition
Writing in a clear and engaging voice, Professor Heine builds his text around many of
psychology's most enduring questions about our identities, motivations, emotions, and
relationships. The text incorporates examples from around the world and from everyday life to
make the material relevant to a wide range of students. Research methods are emphasized
throughout in order to demonstrate how cultural psychologists study the close-knit relationship
between culture and the ways we think and behave. Three unique chapters bring an
interdisciplinary dimension to the text, examining cultural evolution, mental health, and morality
from the perspective of cultural psychology. Steven J. Heine (Ph.D., University of British
Columbia) is Professor of Psychology and Distinguished University Scholar at the University of

THE MUSICS OF LATIN AMERICA
The most up-to-date and comprehensive Latin American music survey available to students.
Covering one of the most musically diverse regions in the world, this text emphasizes music as a
means of understanding culture and society: each author balances an analysis of musical genres
with the historical and cultural trends that have shaped them. Chapters cover traditional, popular,
and classical repertoire, and in-text listening guides ensure that students walk away with a solid
understanding of the music they have analyzed. Robin Moore is professor of ethnomusicology at
the University of Texas at Austin. He received his B.A. (Music Composition) and M.A.
(Ethnomusicology) from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Ph.D. in
Ethnomusicology, University of Texas at Austin, with specialization in Latin America, popular
music studies, and the history of ethnomusicology.

RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY
Research Methods in Psychology acknowledges that many students in this course go on to careers
in which they use psychological research – to advocate for a law, to decide on a treatment plan, to
evaluate a proposal, etcetera – rather than going on to conduct academic psychological research.
Therefore, while students still learn the skills necessary to design research, the emphasis is on
research consumers. By prioritizing critical thinking and quantitative reasoning skills, Morling
helps students become systematically critical consumers of information. By including examples
from popular media, an innovative pedagogical framework and a conversational tone, Morling
insures that students will be interested today even as they come to appreciate the text’s utility for
tomorrow. Beth Morling is Associate Professor at the University of Delaware.

THE STORY OF OPERA
This text takes a contextual approach, examining opera against the social and political climate in
which it was created. It is divided into five parts. The first part, “Going to the Opera,” introduces
newcomers to every element that makes up the operatic experience and explains how it got that
way—venues, seating arrangements, dress, stage effects, orchestra, singers, dancers. The
remaining four parts provide a historical survey of operatic repertory, starting with the 17th
century and continuing to the present. Each chapter explores the operatic story types that have
reflected the social and cultural concerns of the time. In these vividly rendered stories, Parakilas
provides insightful readings of individual works, their plots, texts, staging, and music. James
Parakilas is the chair of the Music Department at Bates College.

Stone, Deborah
THE POLICY PARADOX, 3rd Edition
Since its debut, Policy Paradox has been widely acclaimed as the most accessible policy text
available. Unlike most texts, which treat policy analysis and policy making as different
enterprises, Policy Paradox demonstrates that "you can't take politics out of analysis." Through a
uniquely rich and comprehensive model, this revised edition continues to show how real-world
policy grows out of differing ideals, even definitions, of basic societal goals like security,
equality, and liberty. The book also demonstrates how these ideals often conflict in policy
implementation. In this revised edition, Stone has added a full-length case study as an appendix,
taking up the issue of affirmative action. Clear, provocative, and engaging, Policy Paradox
conveys the richness of public policy making and analysis. Deborah Stone holds appointments as
Research Professor of Government at Dartmouth College and Honorary Professor of Political
Science at Aarhus University in Denmark. She has taught in undergraduate and graduate
programs at Brandeis, MIT, Yale, Tulane, and Duke, as well as in universities worldwide where
Policy Paradox is used.
