C rushed by the Romans in the first century A.D., the ancient Druids

been free to reimagine, reinterpret, and reinvent the Druids. Hutton’s
captivating book is the first to encompass two thousand years of Druid
history and to explore the evolution of English, Scottish, and Welsh atti-
tudes toward the forever ambiguous figures of the ancient Celtic world.

poems that comprise the final chapters. He gives special attention to
comparable sayings in other wisdom books, particularly from Egypt, and
makes extensive use of medieval Hebrew commentaries, which have
received scant attention in previous Proverb commentaries. In separate
sections set in smaller type, the author addresses technical issues of text
and language for interested scholars.
The author’s essays at the end of the commentary view the book of
Proverbs in its entirety and investigate its ideas of wisdom, ethics, reve-

cifixion by the Roman authorities, concluding with an enigmatic ending
in which Jesus’ resurrection is announced but not displayed.
In this volume New Testament scholar Joel Marcus offers a new transla-
tion of Mark 8–16 as well as extensive commentary and notes. He situ-
ates the narrative within the context of first-century Palestine and the
larger Greco-Roman world; within the political context of the Jewish revolt
against the Romans (66–73 C.E.); and within the religious context of the
early church’s sometimes rancorous engagement with Judaism, pagan
religion, and its own internal problems. For religious scholars, pastors,
and interested lay people alike, the book provides an accessible and
enlightening window on the second of the canonical Gospels.

SOFT DESPOTISM, DEMOCRACY’S DRIFT
Montesquieu, Rousseau, Tocqueville, and the Modern
Prospect
Paul A. Rahe
I n 1989, the Cold War abruptly ended, and it seemed as if the world was
at last safe for democracy. But a spirit of uneasiness, discontent, and
world-weariness soon arose and has persisted in Europe, in America, and
elsewhere for two decades. To discern the meaning of this malaise we
must investigate the nature of liberal democracy, says the author of this
provocative book, and he undertakes to do so through a detailed investi-
gation of the thinking of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville.
Paul A. Rahe argues that these political thinkers anticipated the modern
liberal republic’s propensity to drift in the direction of “soft despotism”—
a condition that arises within a democracy when paternalistic state power
expands and gradually undermines the spirit of self-government. Such an
eventuality, feared by Tocqueville in the nineteenth century, has now
become a reality throughout the European Union, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, and the United States. So Rahe asserts, and he explains what
must be done to reverse this unfortunate trend.

THE EMPIRE’S NEW CLOTHES
A History of the Russian Fashion Industry, 1700–1917
Christine Ruane
In 1701 Tsar Peter the Great decreed that all residents of Moscow must abandon their traditional dress and wear
European fashion. Those who produced or sold Russian clothing would face “dreadful punishment.” Peter’s dress
decree, part of his drive to make Russia more like Western Europe, had a profound impact on the history of Imperial
Russia.
This engrossing book explores the impact of Westernization on Russia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and
presents a wealth of photographs of ordinary Russians in all their finery. Christine Ruane draws on memoirs, mail-order
catalogues, fashion magazines, and other period sources to demonstrate that Russia’s adoption of Western fashion had
symbolic, economic, and social ramifications and was inseparably linked to the development of capitalism, industrial
production, and new forms of communication. This book shows how the fashion industry became a forum through
which Russians debated and formulated a new national identity.

R evolution, civil wars, and guerilla warfare wracked Ethiopia during three turbulent decades at the end of the twen-
tieth century. This book is a pioneering study of the military history and political significance of this crucial Horn
of Africa region during that period. Drawing on new archival materials and interviews, Gebru Tareke illuminates the
conflicts, comparing them to the Russian and Iranian revolutions in terms of regional impact.
Writing in vigorous and accessible prose, Tareke brings to life the leading personalities in the domestic political strug-
gles, strategies of the warring parties, international actors, and key battles. He demonstrates how the brutal dictator-
ship of Mengistu Haile Mariam lacked imagination in responding to crises and alienated the peasantry by destroying
human and material resources. And he describes the delicate balance of persuasion and force with which northern
insurgents mobilized the peasantry and triumphed. The book sheds invaluable light not only on modern Ethiopia but
also on post-colonial state formation and insurrectionary politics worldwide.
IMPORTING POVERTY
Immigration and the Changing Face of Rural America
Philip Martin
A merican agriculture employs some 2.5 million workers during a typical year, most for fewer than six months.
Three fourths of these farm workers are immigrants, half are unauthorized, and most will leave seasonal farm
work within a decade. What do these statistics mean for farmers, for laborers, for rural America? This book addresses
the question by reviewing what is happening on farms and in the towns and cities where immigrant farm workers set-
tle with their families. Philip Martin finds that the business-labor model that has evolved in rural America is neither desir-
able nor sustainable. He proposes regularizing U.S. farm workers and rationalizing the farm labor market, an approach
that will help American farmers stay globally competitive while also improving conditions for farm workers.

Economist James Griffin points out that current energy policies are
fatally flawed and that government policies should focus on “getting the
prices right” so that the prices of fossil fuels reflect their true costs to
society—including greenhouse gas and security costs. By using carbon
and security taxes, alternative energy forms will be able to compete on
a more even playing field against fossil fuels. This will unleash advances
in alternative energy and conservation technologies, enabling the mar-
ketplace and consumers to find the right balance among energy
sources that are cheap, clean, and secure.

In this important book, one of our boldest and most original thinkers proposes a new and persuasive explanation
for what keeps people poor and shows how this fresh perspective can reinspire the long-stalled campaign against
poverty.
“The Persistence of Poverty is an original and enlightening book with a startling thesis. Written with verve
and inviting clarity, it will be of interest to philosophers, economists, and public policy planners alike. Its
theoretical arguments and practical proposals are sure to be the subject of debate for years to come.”

THE BUS KIDS
Ira W. Lit
T he Bus Kids offers a compelling and uniquely detailed examination of the experiences of kindergarten students
in California participating in a voluntary school desegregation program. Ira Lit focuses on the day-to-day school
life of a group of minority children bused from their poor-performing home school district to an affluent neighboring
district with high-performing schools. Through these kindergarteners’ experiences, the book sensitively illuminates the
processes of school transition, socialization, and adaptation and addresses an array of important issues relating to
American education.
Lit acutely observes these “bus kids” and the quality of their social, emotional, cultural, and academic experiences. He
presents a moving picture of the complexity of challenges, often unrecognized by teachers and parents, that each
young student confronts every day.
BORDERLINES IN BORDERLANDS
James Madison and the Spanish-American Frontier, 1776–1821
J. C. A. Stagg
I n examining how the United States gained control over the northern borderlands of Spanish America, this work
reassesses the diplomacy of President James Madison. Historians have assumed Madison’s motive in sending agents
into the Spanish borderlands between 1810 and 1813 was to subvert Spanish rule, but J. C. A. Stagg argues that his real
intent was to find peaceful and legal resolutions to long-standing disputes over the boundaries of Louisiana at a time
when the Spanish-American empire was in the process of dissolution. Drawing on an array of American, British,
French, and Spanish sources, the author describes how a myriad cast of local leaders, officials, and other small players
affected the borderlands diplomacy between the United States and Spain, and he casts new light on Madison’s contri-
bution to early American expansionism.

THE FAMILIARITY OF STRANGERS
The Sephardic Diaspora, Livorno, and Cross-Cultural Trade in the Early Modern Period
Francesca Trivellato
T aking a new approach to the study of cross-cultural trade, this book blends archival research with historical nar-
rative and economic analysis to understand how the Sephardic Jews of Livorno, Tuscany, traded in regions near
and far in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Francesca Trivellato tests assumptions about ethnic and religious
trading diasporas and networks of exchange and trust. Her extensive research in international archives—including a
vast cache of merchants’ letters written between 1704 and 1746—reveals a more nuanced view of the business rela-
tions between Jews and non-Jews across the Mediterranean, Atlantic Europe, and the Indian Ocean than ever before.
The book argues that cross-cultural trade was predicated on and generated familiarity among strangers, but could coex-
ist easily with religious prejudice. It analyzes instances in which business cooperation among coreligionists and between
strangers relied on language, customary norms, and social networks more than the progressive rise of state and legal
institutions.

that reflects on the personal experience and intellectual agenda behind the writing of the book, surveys the broad
impact of the book’s argument, and addresses the challenges to the thesis since the book’s original publication. In the
wake of 9/11 this interpretation is more pertinent than ever.
“Clearly written and historically sound. . . . A subtle critique and analysis.”—Gaddis Smith, Foreign Affairs
“A lean, plain-spoken treatment of a grand subject. . . . A bold piece of criticism and advocacy. . . . The

LIFE
Organic Form and Romanticism
Denise Gigante
W hat makes something alive? Or, more to the point, what is life? The question is as old as the ages and has
not been (and may never be) resolved. Life springs from life, and liveliness motivates matter to act the way
it does. Yet vitality in its very unpredictability often appears as a threat. In this intellectually stimulating work, Denise
Gigante looks at how major writers of the Romantic period strove to produce living forms of art on an analogy with
biological form, often finding themselves face to face with a power known as monstrous.
The poets Christopher Smart, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats were all immersed in a culture
obsessed with scientific ideas about vital power and its generation, and they broke with poetic convention in imagin-
ing new forms of “life.” In Life: Organic Form and Romanticism, Gigante offers a way to read ostensibly difficult poet-
ry and reflects on the natural-philosophical idea of organic form and the discipline of literary studies.
T his book is the first to explore the Jewish contribution to, and integration with, Ukrainian culture. Yohanan
Petrovsky-Shtern focuses on five writers and poets of Jewish descent whose literary activities span the 1880s to
the 1990s. Unlike their East European contemporaries who disparaged the culture of Ukraine as second-rate, stateless,
and colonial, these individuals embraced the Russian- and Soviet-dominated Ukrainian community, incorporating their
Jewish concerns in their Ukrainian-language writings.
The author argues that the marginality of these literati as Jews fuelled their sympathy toward Ukrainians and their
national cause. Providing extensive historical background, biographical detail, and analysis of each writer’s poetry and
prose, Petrovsky-Shtern shows how a Ukrainian-Jewish literary tradition emerged. Along the way, he challenges assump-
tions about modern Jewish acculturation and Ukrainian-Jewish relations.

A n essential resource for scholars and performers, this study by a world-renowned specialist illuminates the piano
music of four major French composers, in comparative and reciprocal context. Howat explores the musical lan-
guage and artistic ethos of this repertoire, juxtaposing structural analysis with editorial and performing issues. He also
relates his four composers historically and stylistically to such predecessors as Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, the French
harpsichord school, and Russian and Spanish music.
Challenging long-held assumptions about performance practice, Howat elucidates the rhythmic vitality and invention
inherent in French music. In granting Fauré and Chabrier equal consideration with Debussy and Ravel, he redresses a
historic imbalance and reshapes our perceptions of this entire musical tradition.

BUGS AND THE VICTORIANS
John F. McDiarmid Clark
I n the wake of the Scientific Revolution, the impulse to name and classify the natural world accelerated, and insects
presented a particularly inviting challenge. This lively book explores how science became increasingly important in
nineteenth-century British culture and how the systematic study of insects permitted entomologists to engage with the
most pressing questions of Victorian times: the nature of God, mind, and governance, and the origins of life.
By placing insects in a myriad of contexts—politics, religion, gender, and empire—John F. McDiarmid Clark demon-
strates the impact of Victorian culture on the science of insects and on the systematic knowledge of the natural world.
Through engaging accounts of famous and eccentric innovators who sought to define social roles for themselves
through a specialist study of insects—among them a Tory clergyman, a banker and member of Parliament, a wealthy
spinster, and an entrepreneurial academic—Clark highlights the role of insects in the making of modern Britain and
maintains that the legacy of Victorian entomologists continues to this day.

T his book deals with an important and timely issue: the political and economic forces that have shaped agricul-
tural policies in the United States during the past eighty years. It explores the complex interactions of class, mar-
ket, and state as they have affected the formulation and application of agricultural policy decisions since the New Deal,
showing how divisions and coalitions within Southern, Corn Belt, and Wheat Belt agriculture were central to the ebb
and flow of price supports and production controls. In addition, the book highlights the roles played by the world econ-
omy, the civil rights movement, and existing national policy to provide an invaluable analysis of past and recent trends
in supply management policy.

LAW AND THE CONTRADICTIONS OF
THE DISABILITY RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Samuel R. Bagenstos
T he passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 was hailed as revolutionary legislation, but in the ensu-
ing years restrictive Supreme Court decisions have prompted accusations that the Court has betrayed the disabil-
ity rights movement. The ADA can lay claim to notable successes, yet people with disabilities continue to be unem-
ployed at extremely high rates. In this timely book, Samuel R. Bagenstos examines the history of the movement and
discusses the various, often-conflicting projects of diverse participants. He argues that while the courts deserve some
criticism, some may also be fairly aimed at the choices made by prominent disability rights activists as they crafted
and argued for the ADA. The author concludes with an assessment of the limits of antidiscrimination law in integrat-
ing and empowering people with disabilities, and he suggests new policy directions to make these goals a reality.

A s China emerges as a global powerhouse, this timely book examines its economic past and the shaping of its
financial institutions. The first comparative study of foreign banking in prewar China, the book surveys the
impact of British overseas bank notes on China’s economy before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937.
Focusing on the two leading British banks in the region, it assesses the favorable and unfavorable effects of the British
presence in China, with particular emphasis on Shanghai, and traces instructive links between the changing political
climate and banknote circulation volumes.
Drawing on recently declassified archival materials, Niv Horesh revises previous assumptions about China’s prewar
economy, including the extent of foreign banknote circulation and the economic significance of the May Thirtieth
Movement of 1925.
T his volume, first in the Yale Research Series of Boswell’s journals, covers his emotionally eventful travels as a young
man through the German and Swiss territories. It begins in mid-June 1764 and ends on New Year’s Day 1765,
when he crossed the Alps for the next stages of his European tour in Italy, Corsica, and France. The volume includes
the complete text of Boswell’s diaries and memoranda, as well as a daily record of expenses and his frequently reveal-
ing “Ten Lines a Day” poems. This volume is the Research Series parallel to the 1953 trade series edition, Boswell on
the Grand Tour: Germany and Switzerland, 1764, whose annotation the editor, Marlies K. Danziger, expands, sup-
plements, and, in many instances, corrects.

TRAME
A Contemporary Italian Reader
Edited by Cristina Abbona-Sneider, Antonello Borra, and Cristina Pausini
T rame: A Contemporary Italian Reader brings together short stories, poems, interviews, and other works by 33
renowned authors. The readings cover familiar themes—youth, family, immigration, politics, women’s voices,
identity—from the fresh perspective of a new generation of Italian writers. By presenting a rich array of materials and
many points of view, Trame highlights the cultural complexity of contemporary Italy.
Each text is accompanied by a diverse selection of activities and exercises that help students read authentic texts and
build their language skills. These include pre-reading activities that introduce important themes, vocabulary lists with
definitions in Italian, writing exercises, and post-reading activities in discussion and analysis.
With its range of readings and exercises, Trame is designed to be easily adaptable to instructors’ different needs and
class levels. It is ideally suited to high-intermediate and advanced Italian language and culture courses.
W hile the demand for Arabic classes and preparation programs for Arabic language teachers has increased,
there is a notable gap in the field of linguistic research on learning Arabic as a second language. This book
presents a data-driven and systematic analysis of Arabic language acquisition that responds to this growing need.
Based on large data samples collected from longitudinal and cross-sectional studies, it explores a broad range of struc-
tures and acquisition issues. It also introduces new and comprehensive research, and it documents the successes and
problems that native speakers of other languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Japanese, are likely to
encounter in learning Arabic.
By integrating previously published findings with new research, the author has created a unified and streamlined
resource for teachers, teachers-in-training, linguists, Arabic textbook authors, and second-language acquisition experts.
T he new edition of this widely used text covers the first year of instruction in Modern Standard Arabic. It will teach
students to read, speak, and write Arabic, while presenting an engaging story that involves Adnan, a Syrian
student studying in the United States, and Michael, an American student studying in Cairo. In diaries, letters, and post-
cards, the two students describe their thoughts and activities, revealing how a non-American views American culture
and how the Arabic culture is experienced by an American student. This new April Language

ples from the 20th century—proving the longevity of this
art form and its currency among modern-day artists.
Enlightening essays by important scholars in the field

I mported to Japan from China during the 9th century, the custom of
serving tea did not become widespread until the 13th century. By the
late 15th and 16th centuries, tea was ceremonially prepared by a skilled
tea master and served to guests in a tranquil setting. This way of prepar-
ing tea became known as chanoyu, literally “hot water for tea.”
This elegant book explores the aesthetics and history of the traditional
Japanese tea ceremony, examining the nature of tea collections and the
links between connoisseurship, politics, and international relations. It
also surveys current practices and settings in light of the ongoing trans-
formation of the tradition in contemporary tea houses. Among the pre-
cious objects discussed and pictured are ceramic tea bowls, wooden tea

DADA’S WOMEN
Ruth Hemus
Ruth Hemus establishes the ways in which Emmy Hennings and Sophie
Taeuber in Zurich, Hannah Höch in Berlin, and Suzanne Duchamp and
Céline Arnauld in Paris made important interventions across fine art, lit-
erature, and performance. Hemus highlights how their techniques and
approaches were characteristic of Dada’s rebellion against aesthetic and
cultural conventions, analyzes the impact of gender on each woman’s
work, and shows convincingly that they were innovators and not imita-
tors. In its new and original perspective on Dada, the book broadens our
appreciation and challenges accepted understandings of this revolution-
ary avant-garde movement.

CIAM proposed a new type of architecture, one that drew on the strate-
gies of both modern art and engineering to promote efficiency and
rational city planning. Mumford challenges the idea that this modern
urbanism only resulted in the clearing of historical neighborhoods in
favor of the public housing that would famously fail. Rather, Mumford
argues, CIAM goals were instrumental in forming the field of urban
design, and it was the rejection of these goals by politicians and bureau-
crats, rather than their implementation, that led to the now familiar and
lamentable results of urban renewal and metropolitan sprawl.

Drawing in the Middle Ages
Melanie Holcomb et al.
I n the Middle Ages, artists explored and tested the medium of drawing,
producing whimsical sketches, illustrated treatises, and finished draw-
ings of extraordinary refinement. This fascinating volume is the first to
examine and celebrate the achievements of medieval draftsmen in
depth. It reproduces rarely seen leaves from more than fifty manuscripts
dating from the 9th to the early 14th century. In the accompanying texts,
Melanie Holcomb and other experts in the field consider the techniques,
uses, and aesthetics of medieval drawings, casting light on their critical
role in the intellectual life of the Middle Ages. The Harley Psalter. Ca. 1010–1130. British Library
