Playing the Numbers
Gambling in Harlem between the Wars
Shane White, Stephen Garton, Stephen Robertson,
and Graham White
The phrase “Harlem in the 1920s” evokes images of the Harlem Renaissance, or of Marcus Garvey
and soapbox orators haranguing crowds about politics and race. Yet the most ubiquitous feature of
Harlem life between the world wars was the game of “numbers.” Thousands of wagers, usually of
a dime or less, would be placed on a daily number derived from U.S. bank statistics. The rewards
of “hitting the number,” a 600-to-1 payoff, tempted the ordinary men and women of the Black
Metropolis with the chimera of the good life. Playing the Numbers tells the story of this illegal form
of gambling and the central role it played in the lives of African Americans who flooded into Harlem
in the wake of World War I.
For a dozen years the “numbers game” was one of Amer-
ica’s rare black-owned businesses, turning over tens of millions of

The Spirit of the Law
Religious Voices and the Constitution in Modern America
Sarah Barringer Gordon
A new constitutional world burst into American life in the mid-twentieth century. For the first time,
the national constitution’s religion clauses were extended by the United States Supreme Court to
all state and local governments. As energized religious individuals and groups probed the new
boundaries between religion and government and claimed their sacred rights in court, a complex
and evolving landscape of religion and law emerged.
Sarah Gordon tells the stories of passionate believers
who turned to the law and the courts to facilitate a dazzling
diversity of spiritual practice. Legal decisions revealed the exqui- SARAH BARRINGER

In the eighteenth century, Alexander says, mathematicians were idealized as child-like, eternally
curious, and uniquely suited to reveal the hidden harmonies of the world. But in the nineteenth
century, brilliant mathematicians like Galois became Romantic heroes like poets, artists, and
musicians. The ideal mathematician was now an alienated loner,

Setting Down the Sacred Past
African-American Race Histories
Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp
As early as the 1780s, African Americans told stories that enabled them to survive and even thrive
in the midst of unspeakable assault. Tracing previously unexplored narratives from the late eigh-
teenth century to the 1920s, Laurie Maffly-Kipp brings to light an extraordinary trove of sweeping
race histories that African Americans wove together out of racial and religious concerns.
Asserting a role in God’s plan, black Protestants sought to root their people in both sacred
and secular time. A remarkable array of chroniclers—men and women, clergy, journalists, shoe-
makers, teachers, southerners and northerners—shared a belief that narrating a usable past offered
hope, pride, and the promise of a better future. Combining Christian
faith, American patriotism, and racial lineage to create a coherent sense

Confederate Reckoning
Power and Politics in the Civil War South
Stephanie McCurry
“T HIS BOOK PERMANENTLY REWRITES THE HISTORY OF THE CONFEDERACY.”
—J AMES L. R OARK
The story of the Confederate States of America, the proslavery, antidemocratic nation created by
white Southern slaveholders to protect their property, has been told many times in heroic and mar-
tial narratives. Now, however, Stephanie McCurry tells a very different tale of the Confederate
experience. When the grandiosity of Southerners’ national ambitions met the harsh realities of
wartime crises, unintended consequences ensued. Although Southern statesmen and generals had
built the most powerful slave regime in the Western world, they had
excluded the majority of their own people—white women and
slaves—and thereby sowed the seeds of their demise.

A Home Elsewhere
Reading African American Classics in the Age of Obama
Robert B. Stepto
In this series of interlocking essays, which had their start as lectures inspired by the presidency of
Barack Obama, Robert Burns Stepto sets canonical works of African American literature in con-
versation with Obama’s Dreams from My Father. The elegant readings that result shed surprising
light on unexamined angles of works ranging from Frederick Douglass’s Narrative to W. E. B. Du
Bois’s Souls of Black Folk to Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon.
Stepto draws our attention to the concerns that recur in the books he takes up: how pro-
tagonists raise themselves, often without one or both parents; how black boys invent black man-
hood, often with no models before them; how protagonists seek and find a
home elsewhere; and how they create personalities that can deal with the
pain of abandonment. These are age-old themes in African American liter-

The struggles of the Lascelles family for social and political power, and the

The Last Tortoise
A Tale of Extinction in Our Lifetime
Craig B. Stanford
Tortoises may be the first family of higher animals to become extinct in the coming decades.
They are losing the survival race because of what distinguishes them, in particular their slow,
steady pace of life and reproduction.
The Last Tortoise offers an introduction to these remarkable animals and the extraor-
dinary adaptations that have allowed them to successfully populate a diverse range of habi-
tats—from deserts to islands to tropical forests. The shields that
protect their shoulders and ribs have helped them evade preda-

Prayers of the Faithful
The Shifting Spiritual Life of American Catholics
James P. McCartin
A hundred years ago Catholic believers young and old, rich and poor, would fill churches on holy
days, drawn together in prayer and in the conviction that they, the laypeople, needed the clergy and
patron saints to mediate between them and their God. Today a Catholic believer in America is as
likely as not to find God for herself.
This book traces dramatic changes in the practice of faith among American Catholics
through evolving ideas about prayer. Where so many have seen the movement of American
Catholics away from traditional devotional practices as a symptom of encroaching secularism, author
James P. McCartin shows how the changing practice of prayer itself was the
primary catalyst behind Catholics’ growing sense of spiritual independence.
J A M E S P. Prayers of the Faithful reveals how, over the decades, Catholics’

ticipating in public protests as outpourings of prayer, lay Catholics consis-
tently expanded their notions of praying. And in doing so, McCartin
suggests, they reshaped and redefined American Catholicism. By examining
the spiritual life of prayer over the twentieth century, this book
thus opens up new ways of understanding Catholics, their
church, and their place in American life.

Myths about Suicide
Thomas Joiner
Around the world, more than a million people die by suicide
each year. Yet many of us know very little about a tragedy that
may strike our own loved ones—and much of what we think
we know is wrong. This clear and powerful book dismantles
myth after myth to bring compassionate and accurate under-
standing of a massive international killer.
Drawing on a fascinating array of clinical cases,
media reports, literary works, and scientific studies, Thomas
Joiner demolishes both moralistic and psychotherapeutic
clichés. He shows that suicide is not easy, cowardly, venge-
ful, or selfish. It is not a manifestation
of “suppressed rage” or a side effect
of medication. Threats of suicide, far from
being idle, are often followed by serious attempts. People who THOMAS
are prevented once from killing themselves will not necessarily try again. JOINER

Bilingual
Life and Reality
François Grosjean
Whether in business negotiations or family life, half the people in the world speak more than one
language every day. Yet many myths persist about bilingualism and bilinguals. Does being bilingual
mean you are equally fluent in two languages, or that you belong to two cultures, or even that you
have multiple personalities? Can you become bilingual only as a child? Why do bilinguals switch
from one language to another in mid-sentence? Will raising bilingual children confuse and delay
their learning of any language?
In a lively and often entertaining book, an international authority on bilingualism, son of
an English mother and a French father, explores the many facets of bilin-
gualism. In this book, François Grosjean draws on research, interviews,

Saving Schools

Saving Schools traces the story of the rise, decline, and potential resurrection of American public

become the efficient, egalitarian, and high-quality educational institutions these reformers envi-

“H ALLIDAY ’S MAGISTERIAL REVISIONIST HISTORY IS AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT IS

—D AVID A RMITAGE , AUTHOR OF T hE D EcLARATiON OF i NDEPENDENcE
We call habeas corpus the Great Writ of Liberty. But it was actually a writ of power. In a work
based on an unprecedented study of thousands of cases across more
than five hundred years, Paul Halliday provides a sweeping revi-
sionist account of the world’s most revered legal device.
In the decades around 1600, English judges used ideas PAU L D.

gave the writ the force necessary to protect ideas about rights as
they developed outside of law. This judicial power carried the writ
across the world, from Quebec to Bengal. Paradoxically, the rep-
resentative impulse, most often expressed through legislative
action, did more to undermine the writ than anything else. And
the need to control imperial subjects would increasingly constrain judges. The imperial experience
is thus crucial for making sense of the broader sweep of the writ’s history and of English law.
Halliday’s work informed the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Boumediene v. Bush
on prisoners in the Guantánamo detention camps. His eagerly anticipated book is certain to be
acclaimed the definitive history of habeas corpus.

The origins of Islam have been the subject of increasing controversy in recent years. The traditional

Believers, Christians and Jews were monotheists and agreed to live right-
eously in obedience to their revealed law. The conviction that Muslims
constituted a separate religious community, utterly distinct from Christians and Jews,
emerged a century later, when the leaders of the Believers’ movement decided that
only those who saw the Qur’an as the final revelation of the One God and Muham-
mad as the final prophet, qualified as Believers.
This separated them decisively from monothe-
ists who adhered to the Gospels or Torah.

The Hebrew Republic
Jewish Sources and the Transformation of European Political Thought
Eric Nelson
“N ELSON ’ S DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE H EBREW, AS WELL AS THE G REEK AND L ATIN ,

BRILLIANTLY DEPLOYED IN THIS BOOK .”
—M ICHAEL WALZER , I NSTITUTE FOR A DVANCED S TUDY
According to a commonplace narrative, the rise of modern political

thought in the West resulted from secularization—the exclusion of
religious arguments from political discourse. But in this pathbreaking E R I C N E L S O N is
work, Eric Nelson argues that this familiar story is wrong. Instead, he the Frederick S.

more, secular with time, and it was the Christian encounter with
Professor of
Hebrew sources that provoked this radical transformation.
Government, Harvard
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Christian University.
scholars began to regard the Hebrew Bible as a political constitution
designed by God for the children of Israel. Newly available rabbinic
materials became authoritative guides to the institutions and prac-
tices of the perfect republic. This thinking resulted in a sweeping
reorientation of political commitments. In the book’s central chapters, Nelson identifies three trans-
formative claims introduced into European political theory by the Hebrew revival: the argument that
republics are the only legitimate regimes; the idea that the state should coercively maintain an egal-
itarian distribution of property; and the belief that a godly republic would tolerate religious diver-
sity. One major consequence of Nelson’s work is that the revolutionary politics of John Milton,
James Harrington, and Thomas Hobbes appear in a brand-new light.
Nelson demonstrates that central features of modern political thought emerged from an
attempt to emulate a constitution designed by God. This paradox, a reminder that while we may

Prefaces to Shakespeare
Tony Tanner
Foreword by Stephen Heath
When Tony Tanner died in 1998, the world lost a critic who was as sensitive a reader of Jane
Austen as he was of Thomas Pynchon, and who wrote with a warmth and clarity that belied his
fluency in literary theory.
In the final ten years of his life Tanner tackled the largest project any critic in English can
take on—writing a preface to each of Shakespeare’s plays. This collection serves as a comprehen-
sive introduction for the general reader, the greatest and perhaps the last in the line of great intro-
ductions to Shakespeare written by such luminaries as Samuel
Johnson and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Tanner brings Shake-

Quest for Equality
The Failed Promise of Black-Brown Solidarity
Neil Foley
As the United States championed principles of freedom and equality during World War II, it denied
fundamental rights to many non-white citizens. In the wake of President Franklin Roosevelt’s “Good
Neighbor” policy with Latin America, African American and Mexican American civil rights leaders
sought ways to make that policy of respect and mutual obligations apply at home as well as abroad.
They argued that a whites-only democracy not only denied constitutional protection to every citi-
zen but also threatened the war effort and FDR’s aims.
Neil Foley examines the complex interplay among regional, national, and international
politics that plagued the efforts of Mexican Americans and African Americans
to find common ground in ending employment discrimination in the defense

The Ideological Origins of
American Federalism
Alison L. LaCroix
“T HIS IMPORTANT BOOK WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT THE
AMERICAN FOUNDING.”
—P ETER S. O NUF, U NIVERSITY OF V IRGINIA
Federalism is regarded as one of the signal American contributions to modern politics. Its origins
are typically traced to the drafting of the Constitution, but the story began decades before the del-
egates met in Philadelphia.
In this groundbreaking book, Alison LaCroix traces the
history of American federal thought from its colonial beginnings ALISON L. LACROIX
in scattered provincial responses to British assertions of author- is Assistant Professor of
ity, to its emergence in the late eighteenth century as a norma- Law, University of

federal ideology was a belief that multiple independent levels of
government could legitimately exist within a single polity, and
that such an arrangement was not a defect but a virtue. This
belief became a foundational principle and aspiration of the
American political enterprise. LaCroix thus challenges the traditional account of republican ideol-
ogy as the single dominant framework for eighteenth-century American political thought. Under-
standing the emerging federal ideology returns constitutional thought to the central place that it
occupied for the founders. Federalism was not a necessary adaptation to make an already designed
system work; it was the system.
Connecting the colonial, revolutionary, founding, and early national periods in one story
reveals the fundamental reconfigurations of legal and political power that accompanied the forma-
tion of the United States. The emergence of American federalism should be understood as a criti-
cal ideological development of the period, and this book is essential reading for everyone interested
in the American story.

Galileo in Pittsburgh
Clark Glymour
What did the trial of Galileo share with the trial for fraud of the foremost investigator of the effects
of lead exposure on children’s intelligence? In the title essay of this rollicking collection on science
and education, Clark Glymour argues that fundamentally both were disputes over what methods
are legitimate and authoritative. From testing the expertise of NASA scientists to discovering where
software goes to die to turning educational research upside down, Glymour’s reports from the front
lines of science and education read like a blend of Rachel Carson and Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Con-
trarian and original, he criticizes the statistical arguments against Teach for America, argues for
teaching the fallacies of Intelligent Design in high school science, places contemporary psycholog-

a fair argument for a self-interested, nationalist response to climate

Inventing American Telecommunications
Richard R. John
The telegraph and the telephone were the first electrical communications networks to become hall-
marks of modernity. Yet they were not initially expected to achieve universal accessibility. In this
pioneering history of their evolution, Richard R. John demonstrates how access to these networks
was determined not only by technological imperatives and economic incentives but also by politi-
cal decision making at the federal, state, and municipal levels. In the decades between the Civil War
and the First World War, Western Union and the Bell System
emerged as the dominant providers for the telegraph and tele-
phone. Both operated networks that were products not only of

alized public utility and disparaged unnecessary waste.
The popularization of
the telegraph and the tele-
phone was opposed by
business lobbies that
were intent on perpetuating specialty services. In fact, it
wasn’t until 1900 that the civic ideal of mass access
trumped the elitist ideal of exclusivity in shaping the com-
mercialization of the telephone. The telegraph did not become
widely accessible until 1910, sixty-five years after the first fee-for-
service telegraph line opened in 1845.
Network Nation places the history of telecommuni-
cations within the broader context of American politics, busi-
ness, and discourse. This engrossing and provocative book
persuades us of the critical role of political economy in the
development of new technologies and their implementation.

Media and the Making of the Labour Party
Laura Beers
In the early twentieth century, new mass media—popular newspapers, radio, film—exploded at the
same time that millions of Britons received the vote in the franchise expansions of 1918 and 1928.
The growing centrality of the commercial media to democratic life quickly became evident as organ-
izations of all stripes saw its potential to reach new voters. The new media presented both an excit-
ing opportunity and a significant challenge to the new Labour Party.
Laura Beers traces Labour’s rise as a movement for working-class men to its transforma-
tion into a national party that won a landslide victory in 1945. Key to its
success was a skillful media strategy designed to win over a broad, diverse
coalition of supporters. Though some in the movement harbored reser-

fortunes is by no means a modern phenomenon.

The Troubled Empire
China in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties
Timothy Brook
The Mongol takeover in the 1270s changed the course of Chinese history. The Confucian empire—
a millennium and a half in the making—was suddenly thrust under foreign occupation. What China
had been before its reunification as the Yuan dynasty in 1279 was no longer what it would be in
the future. Four centuries later, another wave of steppe invaders would replace the Ming dynasty
with yet another foreign occupation. The Troubled Empire explores what happened to China
between these two dramatic invasions.

So Great a Proffit
How the East Indies Trade Transformed Anglo-American Capitalism
James R. Fichter
In a work of sweep and ambition, James Fichter explores how American trade proved pivotal
to the evolution of capitalism in the United States and helped to shape the course of the British
Empire.
Before the American Revolution, colonial merchants were part of a trading network
that spanned the globe. After 1783, U.S. merchants began trading in the East Indies inde-
pendently, creating a new class of investor-capitalists and the first generation of American mil-
lionaires. Such wealth was startling in a country where, a generation
earlier, the most prosperous Americans had been Southern planters.
This mercantile elite brought its experience and affluence to other

The United States faces a growing crisis in care. The number of people needing care is growing
while the ranks of traditional caregivers have shrunk. The status of care workers is a critical concern.
Evelyn Nakano Glenn offers an innovative interpretation of care labor in the United States
by tracing the roots of inequity along two interconnected strands: unpaid caring within the family;
and slavery, indenture, and other forms of coerced labor. By bringing both into the same analytic
framework, she provides a convincing explanation of the deval-

The Disenchantment of
Secular Discourse
Steven D. Smith
Prominent observers complain that public discourse in America is shallow and unedifying. This
debased condition is often attributed to, among other things, the resurgence of religion in public
life. Steven Smith argues that this diagnosis has the matter backwards: it is not primarily religion
but rather the strictures of secular rationalism that have drained our modern discourse of force and
authenticity.
Thus, Rawlsian “public reason” filters appeals to religion or
other “comprehensive doctrines” out of public deliberation. But

Slavery in Indian Country
The Changing Face of Captivity in Early America
Christina Snyder
Slavery existed in North America long before the first Africans arrived at Jamestown in 1619. For
centuries, from the pre-Columbian era through the 1840s, Native Americans took prisoners of war
and killed, adopted, or enslaved them. Christina Snyder’s pathbreaking book takes a familiar setting
for bondage, the American South, and places Native Americans at the center of her engrossing
story.
Indian warriors captured a wide range of enemies, including Africans, Europeans, and
other Indians. Yet until the late eighteenth century, age and gender more than race affected the fate
of captives. As economic and political crises mounted, however,
Indians began to racialize slavery and target African Americans.

Snyder’s rich and sweeping history of Indian slavery
connects figures like Andrew Jackson and Cherokee chief Drag-

Placing the experiences of these individuals within a complex system of captivity and
Indians’ relations with other peoples, Snyder demonstrates the profound role of Native

More Perfect Unions
The American Search for Marital Bliss
Rebecca L. Davis
The American fixation with marriage, so prevalent in today’s debates over marriage for same-sex
couples, owes much of its intensity to a small group of reformers who introduced Americans to mar-
riage counseling in the 1930s. Today, millions of couples seek help to save their marriages each year.
Over the intervening decades, marriage counseling has powerfully promoted the idea that suc-
cessful marriages are essential to both individuals’ and the nation’s well-being.
Rebecca Davis reveals how couples and counselors trans-
formed the ideal of the perfect marriage as they debated sexuality,

selors have responded to the shifting needs and goals of American
couples. Tensions among personal fulfillment, career aims, reli-
gious identity, and socioeconomic status have coursed through the
history of marriage and explain why the stakes in the institution
are so fraught for the couples involved and for the communities to
which they belong.
Americans care deeply about marriages—their own and other people’s—because they
have made enormous investments of time, money, and emotion to improve their own relationships
and because they believe that their personal decisions about whom to marry or whether to divorce
extend far beyond themselves. This intriguing book tells the uniquely American story of a culture
gripped with the hope that, with enough effort and the right guidance, more perfect marital unions
are within our reach.

Sacred Painting. Museum
Federico Borromeo
Edited and translated by
Kenneth S. Rothwell, Jr.
Introduction and notes by Pamela M. Jones
Federico Borromeo, Cardinal-Archbishop of Milan (1564–1631), is well known as

a leading Catholic reformer and as the founder of the Ambrosiana library, art collec-
tion, and academy in that city. Less known is the fact that the institution’s art
museum was the culmination of many decades of reflection on the aesthetic quali-
ties and religious roles of art. Borromeo recorded his reflections in two treatises.
De pictura sacra (Sacred Painting, 1624) laid out the rules that artists
should follow when creating religious art. Borromeo touched on dozens of icono-
graphical issues and in so doing drew on his deep knowledge not only of church
fathers, councils, and scripture but also of classical art and literature. In Musaeum
(1625) Borromeo showed a less doctrinaire and more personal side by walking the
reader through the Ambrosiana and commenting on specific works in his collection. He
offered some of the earliest and most important critiques to survive on works by artists such
as Leonardo, Titian, and Jan Brueghel the Elder.
This volume offers, for the first time, translations of the treatises directly into Eng-
lish as well as freshly edited Latin texts, an introduction, extensive notes, and an appendix

Serving Country and Community
Who Benefits from National Service?
Peter Frumkin and JoAnn Jastrzab
The United States has a long history of citizens rendering service to their communities. Examples
of government-sponsored voluntary service organizations include the Civilian Conservation Corps,
the Peace Corps, and Volunteers in Service to America
(VISTA). During the Clinton administration, the national
service movement was advanced by the establishment
of AmeriCorps, a large-scale national service program
designed to place young people in community service
positions across the country. More recently, the Obama
administration has set in motion a major program expan-
sion of AmeriCorps over the coming decade.
Many decades, billions of dollars, and hundreds
of thousands of volunteers after the creation of the first
national service programs, it remains unclear who ben-
efits from service, under what conditions these programs
work best, and how exactly these service efforts contribute to the strengthening of communities.
Serving Country and Community answers each of these questions through an in-depth study of how
service shapes the lives of young people and a careful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of
these programs. Based on years of field work and data collection, Serving Country and Community
provides an in-depth examination of the aims and effects of national service and, in the process,
opens up a conversation about what works and what needs reform in national service today.

Continental Divide
Heidegger, Cassirer, Davos
Peter E. Gordon
In the spring of 1929, Martin Heidegger and Ernst Cassirer met for a public conversation in
Davos, Switzerland. They were arguably the most important thinkers in Europe, and their
exchange touched upon the most urgent questions in the history of philosophy: What is human
finitude? What is objectivity? What is culture? What is truth?
Over the last eighty years the Davos encounter has acquired an allegorical signifi-
cance, as if it marked an ultimate and irreparable rupture in twentieth-century Continental
thought. Here, in a reconstruction at once historical and philosophical, Peter Gordon reex-
amines the conversation, its origins and its aftermath, resuscitating an event that has become
entombed in its own mythology. Through a close and painstaking analysis, Gordon dissects the
exchange itself to reveal that it was at core a philosophical disagreement over what it means
to be human.
But Gordon also shows how the life and work of these two philosophers remained
closely intertwined. Their disagreement can be understood only if we appreciate their com-
mon point of departure as thinkers of the German interwar crisis, an era of rebellion that
touched all of the major philosophical movements of the day—life-philosophy, philosophical
anthropology, neo-Kantianism, phenomenology, and existentialism. As Gordon explains, the
Davos debate would continue to both inspire and provoke well after the two men had gone their
separate ways. It remains, even today, a touchstone of philosophical memory.
This clear, riveting book will be of great interest not only to philosophers and to histori-
ans of philosophy but also to anyone interested in the great intellectual ferment of Europe’s inter-

When the Gods Were Born
Greek Cosmogonies and the Near East
Carolina lópez-ruiz
Ancient Greece has for too long been studied in isolation from its Near Eastern neighbors.
And the ancient Near East itself has for too long been seen as an undifferentiated cultural
monolith. Classics and Near Eastern Studies, in our modern universities, continue to be sep-
arated by various disciplinary, linguistic, and ideological walls. Yet there is a growing trend to
dismantle these divides and look at the Greek world within its fullest geographical and cultural
contexts.
This book aims to bring the comparative study of Greek and Near Eastern cosmogo-
nies to a new level. It analyzes themes such as succession myths, expressions of poetic inspi-
ration, and claims to cosmic knowledge, as well as the role of itinerant specialists in the
transmission of theogonies. Rather than compiling literary parallels from different peri-
ods and languages and treating the Near East as a monolithic matrix, the author focuses
on the motifs specific to the North-West Semitic tradition with which the Greeks had
direct contact in the Archaic period. Focusing on Hesiod’s Theogony, the Orphic
texts, and their Ugaritic, Phoenician, and Hebrew counterparts, Carolina López-
Ruiz avoids traditional diffusionist assumptions and proposes instead that dynamic
cultural interaction led to the oral and intimate transmission of stories and
beliefs.

Polybius
Translated by W. R. Paton
Revised by F. W. Walbank and Christian Habicht
The historian Polybius (ca. 200–118 BCE) was born into a leading family of Mega-
lopolis in the Peloponnese (Morea) and served the Achaean League in arms and
diplomacy for many years, favoring alliance with Rome. From 168 to 151 he was
held hostage in Rome, where he became a friend of Lucius Aemilius Paulus and
his two sons, especially Scipio Aemilianus, whose campaigns, including the
destruction of Carthage, he later attended. Late in his life he became a trusted
mediator between Greece and the Romans; helped in the discussions that pre-
ceded the final war with Carthage; and after 146 was entrusted by the Romans
with the details of administration in Greece.
Polybius’ overall theme is how and why the Romans spread their
power as they did. The main part of his history covers the years 264–146 BCE,
describing the rise of Rome, her destruction of Carthage, and her eventual dom-
ination of the Greek world. It is a great work: accurate, thoughtful, largely impar-
tial, based on research, and full of insight into customs, institutions, geography, the
causes of events, and the character of peoples. It is a vital achievement of the first
importance despite the incomplete state in which all but the first five of its original
forty books have reached us.
For this edition, W. R. Paton’s excellent translation, first published in 1922, has
been thoroughly revised, the Büttner-Wobst Greek text corrected, and explanatory notes
and a new introduction added, all reflecting the latest scholarship.

Fatherhood
Evolution and Human Paternal Behavior
Peter B. Gray and Kermyt G. anderson
We’ve all heard that a father’s involvement enriches the lives of children. But how much
have we heard about how having a child affects a father’s life? As Peter Gray and Kermyt
Anderson reveal, fatherhood actually alters a man’s sexuality, rewires his brain, and
changes his hormonal profile. His very health may suffer—in the short run—and
improve in the long. These are just a few aspects of the scientific side of fatherhood
explored in this book, which deciphers the findings of myriad studies and makes them
accessible to the interested general reader.
Since the mid-1990s Anderson and Gray, themselves fathers of young chil-
dren, have been studying paternal behavior in places as diverse as Boston, Albu-
querque, Cape Town, Kenya, and Jamaica. Their work combines the insights of
evolutionary and comparative biology, cross-cultural analysis, and neural physiology
to deepen and expand our understanding of fatherhood—from the intense involve-
ment in childcare seen in male hunter-gatherers, to the prodigality of a Genghis
Khan fathering thousands of children across his lifespan, to the anonymous sperm
donor in a fertility clinic.
SCIENCE &
E D U C AT I O N Looking at every kind of father-
hood—being a father in and out of mar-
riage, fathering from a distance, stepfathering,
and parenting by gay males—this book presents a uniquely
detailed picture of how being a parent fits with men’s
broader social and work lives, how fatherhood evolved,
and how it differs across cultures and through time.

Sacred Spaces
A Journey with the Sufis of the Indus
Samina Quraeshi
With Ali S. Asani, Carl W. Ernst, and Kamil Khan Mumtaz
Sufism, the mystical path of Islam, is a key feature of the complex Islamic culture of South
Asia today. Influenced by philosophies and traditions from other Muslim lands and by
pre-Islamic rites and practices, Sufism offers a corrective to the image of Islam as mono-
lithic and uniform.
In Sacred Spaces, Pakistani artist and educator Samina Quraeshi provides a
locally inflected vision of Islam in South Asia that is enriched by art and by a female per-
spective on the diversity of Islamic expressions of faith. A unique account of a journey
through the author’s childhood homeland in search of the wisdom of the Sufis, the book
reveals the deeply spiritual nature of major centers of Sufism in the central and north-
western heartlands of South Asia. Illuminating essays by Ali S. Asani, Carl W. Ernst, and
Kamil Khan Mumtaz provide context to the journey, discussing aspects of Sufi music and
dance, the role of Sufism in current South Asian culture and politics, and the spiritual
geometry of Sufi architecture.
Quraeshi relies on memory, storytelling, and image making to create an imaginative per-
sonal history using a rich body of photographs and works of art to reflect the seeking heart of the
Sufi way and to demonstrate the diversity of this global religion. Her vision builds on the centuries-
old Sufi tradition of mystical messages of love, freedom, and tolerance that continue to offer the
SPECIALIZED
promise of building cultural and spiritual bridges between peoples of different faiths.

The Parthenon
Revised Edition
Mary Beard
P RAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION :
“W ry and imaginative , this gem of a book deconstructs the most famous

building in W estern history.”
—benjamin schWarz, THE ATLANTIC
“i n her brief but compendious volume [b eard ] says that the more We find out about
this mysterious structure , the less We knoW. h er book is especially valuable
because it is up to date on the restoration the parthenon has been undergoing
since 1986.”
—gary Wills, NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS
At once an entrancing cultural history and a congenial guide for tourists, armchair travelers, and
amateur archaeologists alike, this book conducts readers through the storied past and towering
presence of the most famous building in the world. In the revised version of her classic study, Mary
Beard now includes the story of the long-awaited new museum opened in 2009 to display the
sculptures from the building that still remain in Greece, as well as the controversies that have sur-
rounded it, and asks whether it makes a difference to the “Elgin Marble debate.”

Country.” An anatomy of New York City’s slums in the 1880s, it vividly brought home to its first
readers through the powerful combination of text and images the squalid living conditions of “the
other half,” who might well have inhabited another country. The book pricked the conscience of
its readers and raised the tenement into a symbol of intransigent social differ-
ence. As Alan Trachtenberg makes clear in his introduction, it is a book that still
speaks powerfully to us today of social injustice.
Except for the modernization of spelling and punctuation, the John Har-
vard Library edition of How the Other Half Lives reproduces the text of the first
published book version of November 1890. For this edition, prints have been made from Riis’s orig-
inal photographs now in the archives of the City of the Museum of New York. Endnotes aid the con-
temporary reader.
