Kent State University Press Caution and Cooperation The American Civil War
Book SynopsisFocuses on works that expand the parameters of US foreign relations. This work also focuses on such areas as identity formation and projection, borderlands studies, comparative history, and cultural transfer. It offers a provocative reinterpretation of Civil War - era diplomacy.Trade Review"Phillip E. Myers's Caution and Cooperation places Anglo-American relations during the Civil War within the broader context of the whole nineteenth century, arguing convincingly for the lack of any real chance of British intervention on the side of the Confederacy and dating the end-of-the-century Anglo-American rapprochement back about three decades. Based on extensive research in the United States and Great Britain, this major reinterpretation of the transatlantic special relationship is 'international history' in its truest sense." - Mary Ann Heiss, Editor, New Studies in Foreign Relations Series"

Book SynopsisThe first analysis of the development of the jook and other dance arenas in African-American cultureTrade Review"We glean just how rich the black dance tradition is from this vibrant, engaging social history, which hops from the decks of slave ships to honky-tonks, membership clubs and cabarets.... [It] takes us inside Reconstruction-era jook houses where food, gambling, drink and fellowship were offered, and where dances...crystallized into cultural forms."—Publishers Weekly"An excellent study of black dance.... A well-done and readable account of how black Americans brought their dances with them from Africa, adapted them to the music of urban honky-tonks and jook joints, and created a unique art form."—Jazztimes"Here's a book I've longed for—historically rich, empirically inspired and, above all, reverent to the funk and drive and moral spirit of the Grand Atlantic Black Dance Tradition." —Robert Farris ThompsonTable of Contents Preface Acknowledgments 1.

Tilbury House,U.S. Most People
Book Synopsis2017 Gold Moonbeam Children's Book Award: For dedication to children’s books and literacy and for inspired writing, illustrating and publishing. The world can be a scary place. Anxious adults want children to be aware of dangers, but shouldn’t kids be aware of kindness too?Trade Review"Most People, we are told, love to smile and laugh. Most people want to help other people. Most people love the sunshine. Most people are good. There are some people who aren’t good, of course, but if you could line up all the good people and all the bad ones, the line of good people would be much, much longer. That simple reasoning is perfectly pitched for its young audience, who will enjoy piecing together the story-within-a-story of the two main characters as they illustrate the messages of the text within the context of their own lives. MOST PEOPLE works especially well because it doesn’t just tell children to “be” good. It shows them how to “do” good. " -- R. J. PALACIO - NYT Book Review"Most People reminds kids that, although there are many scary events and images in the world, there are also countless examples of goodness." -- Caroline Bologna - Huffington Post"This offers a fairly simple and positive perspective on the world around us." -- Jessica Anne Bratt - Booklist"Most People is an inspiring choice to start a discussion on diversity, empathy, and kindness as well as on analyzing what we hear and see in and on the news. The positive perspective is welcome and provides young readers with comfort and examples of how people in general and they specifically can make a difference with even simple heartfelt gestures. Most People is an excellent book for home, classroom, and library bookshelves." -- CelebratePictureBooks.com"I still believe most people in this world are kind — and that’s the overall message of this heartwarming book. I love the sense of community and messages of kindness embedded in the story. I also like how the book explains with simple reasoning that people who do bad things can change — “there is a seed of goodness inside {each person} waiting to sprout.” The author’s note acknowledges that while children need to be careful of strangers, they also need to know that most people are good, kind, and helpful. Our children don’t deserve to be overly fearful of the world despite what they may see in the media." -- Charnaie Gordon - Brightly"This is a gem, and one I love having on my shelves to turn to during tough times. " -- happily ever elephants"This reassuring picture book shows children that the world around them is filled with helpful and friendly people. It is a book that brings a sense of safety to the young reader or listener, one that can help see their community and their school in a different way. It’s also a book that will start conversations about what kind of person they are and what positive changes they want to see in their world. The illustrations emphasize diversity and the friendly urban setting. The book follows the course of a day and ends with a beautiful city night and people seen through windows and on rooftops as a larger community.A strong and positive book that is important for children of today. Appropriate for ages 3-5." -- Waking Brain Cells"This book is a great resource for younger children to understand that even though bad things happen sometimes (as seen in the news, etc), that most people are good, kind and helpful. It reassures children that even though a few people may choose to do bad things, most people are kind and want to help others." -- Jill at KDL Service Center - Kent District Library Staff Picks 2017""Most People" is a courageous, constructive response to the dystopian world of the news media and very highly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections." -- The Midwest Book Review"I love the sense of community and messages of kindness. I also like how the book explains that people who do bad things can change. Because deep down aren’t all humans good people? I like to believe so or at least hope this is true. As the book states, “there is a seed of goodness inside {each person} waiting to sprout.” The author’s note acknowledges that while children need to be careful of strangers, they also need to know that most people are good, kind and helpful. Our children don’t deserve to be overly fearful of the world no matter how much the media communicates this. I think this book can help spark lots of great discussions with smaller children whenever tragedies strike as it’s easy enough to understand. A great book to add to your home or school library." -- Mrs. G - Here Wee Read""I love this book! It is a perspective not often found in children's books so directly, that most people in this world are good. I can't wait to order this for our library, and I will be recommending it to patrons."" -- Librarian, Lakes Region Library"Most People is a lovely book that addresses the issue of people not always being good. No parent wants to see their child become disillusioned with the world, and this book helps deal with this concept in a kind and gentle manner. The lovely illustrations support the text, nicely depicting "not good" actions in ways a young child can grasp, such as stealing and vandalism. Since all children do things that are "not good" it also shows that someone can be sorry, change their actions and be forgiven. Nice book to deal with both sides of this concept - if somebody in a child's world has done something "not good", or if they have." -- Middle School Librarian"There is a significant volume of children's literature dedicated to creating awareness of the possible dangers of strangers. While this is a very important lesson for children, a story that highlights the goodness in people is a welcome change. This story would fit very well into a study of communities." -- Teacher

New Village Press By Heart Poetry Prison and Two Lives
Book SynopsisTrade Review""Like all good books, By Heart disrupts our assumptions, causes us to question our preconceptions, and reminds us of a commonly held humanity that is always the subject of Art, the engine of Love and should be the only authority of Justice."" -- LJ Moore * The Examiner *""When two poets write a memoir, it has a vividness, substantiality and eloquence that set it apart. Unlike many contemporary memoirs which focus on a capital P Problem, "By Heart" includes the authors' suffering without trying to market it or glamorize it. Much of "By Heart" is about the way that writers become writers. Although their backgrounds and life circumstances are immensely different, both Judith and Spoon are observant, solitary, attentive to nature and its lack."" -- Ruth Gendler * Head Butler *""By Heart is a moving encounter between freedom and prison, art, beauty and desolation, silence and voice ... It is passionate and tender, raw and realistic ... It is a love story but not love between people; it is about love for ourselves and our humanity. This is a book that I would wish for every educator to read."" * The Book Nook *""There's a crooked symmetry in this remarkable book: poetry and teaching rescued Tannenbaum, and prison provided her with the lifeline of a writing community; poetry also awakened Jackson, but for him it was a counterforce to prison's destructive power."" -- Bell Gale Chevigny * emerita professor of literature at the College of Purchase, State University of New York, former chair of the PEN Prison Writing Program *""A boy with no one to listen becomes a man in prison for life and discovers his mind can be free. A woman enters prison to teach and becomes his first listener. And so begins a twenty-five year friendship between two gifted writers and poets. The result is By Heart a book that will anger you, give you hope, and break your heart."" -- Gloria Steinem""A remarkable memoir of two powerful personalities brought together through poetry and prison. Through Judith's genuineness a poet awoke and found a way to live a fuller life in spite of confinement, and through Spoon's honesty and talent many people will be compelled to contribute to society, even if society has abandoned them."" -- Joseph Lea * Library Media Specialist, York Correctional Institution, Niantic, CT *""In their remarkable memoir, Spoon Jackson and Judith Tannenbaum show us how words change lives, how poetry invites you to free your mind, even in a maximum security prison. By Heart is their profoundly inspirational story, an engaging and enlightening examination of two people thrown together in a dark place and how both journey through darkness and into the light."" -- Ken Lamberton * author of Wilderness and Razor Wire: A Naturalist's Observations from Prison and other books *""By Heart is... a fascinating glimpse into a world that is mostly forgotten by those outside of it."" * Booksexy Review *""A portrait of prison and of the pursuit of art. An amazing combo, a compelling read. . . years later, acting in [Waiting for] Godot on Broadway, I see how much the San Quentin production has meant to my view of the play."" -- Bill Irwin * TONY winning actor, appeared in the Broadway revival of Waiting for Godot *""This is a book about poetry, about struggle, about freedom and incarceration, and most of all about heart. It is a wonderful read."" -- Devorah Major * San Francisco Poet Laureate 2002-2005 *""The collaboration between Judith Tannenbaum and Spoon Jackson continues the path to freedom through art. By Heart is so beautifully described, both objectively and emotionally."" -- Barney Rosset * Publisher/Editor of Grove Press 1951-1985 *""Politics don't work, religion is a bit too eclectic, but ART is the parachute that could catch and hold us all!"" -- Rhodessa Jones * Founder/Artistic Director of the Medea Project: Theatre for Incarcerated Women *

HAU Before and After Gender Sexual Mythologies of
Book SynopsisWritten in the early 1970s amidst widespread debate over the causes of gender inequality, Marilyn Strathern's Before and After Gender was intended as a widely accessible analysis of gender as a powerful cultural code and sex as a defining mythology. But when the series for which it was written unexpectedly folded, the manuscript went into storage, where it remained for more than four decades. This book finally brings it to light, giving the long-lost feminist workaccompanied here by an afterword from Judith Butleran overdue spot in feminist history. Strathern incisively engages some of the leading feminist thinkers of the time, including Shulamith Firestone, Simone de Beauvoir, Ann Oakley, and Kate Millett. Building with characteristic precision toward a bold conclusion in which she argues that we underestimate the materializing grammars of sex and gender at our own peril, she offers a powerful challenge to the intransigent mythologies of sex that still plague contemporary society.

WW Norton & Co Wild New World
Book SynopsisIn 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished author Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the wild new world of North Americaa place shaped both by its own grand evolutionary forces and by momentous arrivals from Asia, Africa, and Europe. With portraits of iconic creatures such as mammoths, horses, wolves, and bison, Flores describes the evolution and historical ecology of North America like never before. The arrival of humans precipitated an extraordinary disruption of this teeming environment. Flores treats humans not as a species Trade Review"Flores is a skilled raconteur.…Wild New World succeeds in establishing a powerful, and credible, narrative of life and death in North America." -- Michelle Nijhuis - New York Review of Books"Flores is a judicious and even-handed writer, and Wild New World provides readers with a sweeping and nuanced look from . . . a wise writer, disarmingly keen-eyed. Wild New World is full of wonders. . . . Flores does a consistently marvelous job." -- Open Letters Review"To see this book nominated for the National Book Award or nominated for a Pulitzer would not surprise me. I don’t know how you’re going to top it." -- Steve Rinella - The MeatEater Podcast"Dan Flores has given us a searing and devastating accounting of what has been lost since humans first set foot in North America. This is environmental history at its best: gracefully written, filled with marvelous new details, and infused with a quiet fury that comes across as well-earned and long overdue. It belongs on the same shelf as Barry Lopez’s Of Wolves and Men." -- Nate Blakeslee, author of American Wolf"This is a magnificent achievement—a sweeping saga stretching across thousands of years. With his sharp eye for compelling anecdotes, Flores weaves an unfolding story that keeps you turning the pages." -- Dayton Duncan, author of The National Parks: America's Best Idea"This is the best book I have read on Americans and the amazing wildlife of this amazing continent. Dan Flores is sweeping, bold, and eloquent, weaving together modern genetic science and traditional literature, people and nature, the history of biology and of laws and politics. He informs us about the world that was, the world we have destroyed, while immersing us in his own personal search for the world that is. An inspiring work" -- Donald Worster, author of A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir"Wild New World surveys America’s bestiary, teeming and rambunctious. Roaming its pages is like having an all-access pass to the backstory of a continent. Dan Flores is an erudite and indefatigable guide on this multidimensional journey through space, time, natural and human history, overflowing with arcane knowledge and surprising insight that is bolstered by the latest science, and, above all, an abiding love for this land and its creatures, past and present." -- John Vaillant, author of The Jaguar’s Children and The Tiger"An amazing history… Flores at his best." -- Birdfreak"Never has there been so complete, so fascinating, and so accessible a telling of the long history of people with American wildlife. The tone of the book is journalistic and a trustworthy pleasure to read because of it." -- Obi Kaufmann, author of California Lands Trilogy"I’ve never encountered a work like Wild New World – nothing even close to the scope, depth, and analysis this fine writer and historian Dan Flores brings to this sad tale. This is a big book, a Big History, and it deserves big attention." -- John Miles - National Parks Traveler"Flores relates this huge body of information about the birth of America with both style and clarity.... Flores’ “Wild New World” is an impressive accomplishment that imparts an amazing amount of fascinating facts about our land. It enlightens readers about where we came from and where we might be headed in the future.... A compelling and comprehensive read." -- Leslie Doran - The Durango Herald"The future of conservation, and our own survival, depends on busting some of the most stubborn myths that have embedded themselves in Western belief systems—ideologies that have, for centuries, steered us down a course of overexploitation of our planet’s resources. In his latest book...Dan Flores fully takes on the challenge. In Flores’ deft hands the facts, fortified by the latest findings in ecology, genetics, and archaeology, fly off the pages in vivid and fascinating detail." -- Isabella Tree - Bookpost"A passionate history of North American animal life and people.... Outstanding." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

WW Norton & Co The Latinist
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Ingenious.... a superb literary suspense novel that calls to mind an earlier such debut, Donna Tartt’s The Secret History.... Like the classics that inspire it, The Latinist is an inventive wedding of the elegant and the barbaric." -- Maureen Corrigan - Washington Post"Smart and fast-paced.... [A] sparkling debut.... A contemporary classic." -- Clea Simon - Boston Globe"Prins’s confident, engrossing debut novel.... contains more than enough twists to keep you turning the page until the very end." -- Chris Murphy - Vanity Fair"A devilishly clever and terrifically entertaining campus novel/philological whodunnit that also happens to be a brilliantly sly riff on Ovid’s Apollo & Daphne.... A remarkably polished and skillful first novel." -- Daniel Mendelsohn"It would have taken me a single night to read the book except that I kept pausing to pursue tantalizing nuggets of information, ranging from choliambic verse to amputation practices of yesteryear. [A] cleverly plotted adventure about an American student who falls prey to the schemes of her malevolent adviser—a tale of passion, suspense and archaeology. (That’s what I call a ‘triple threat’!)" -- Molly Young - New York Times"Oxford University graduate student Tessa Templeton trusts her dissertation adviser, Christopher Eccles—but should she? ... The Latinist, which twists around the Daphne and Apollo myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, culminates with a deeply satisfying blow to the treachery of academia." -- Jason DeRose - NPR, Best Books of 2022"An engrossing psychological thriller.... an absorbing drama about obsession, abuse of power and intimate violence." -- Sharmila Mukherjee - Minneapolis Star Tribune"Brilliant.... Delves deep to question the blurring line between love and obsession, between a yearning for truth and a desire of power." -- Jianan Qian - The Millions"Propulsive.... a campus novel turned psychological thriller.... The novel invites us to see Tessa as Daphne, manipulated by but ultimately escaping Eccles’s Apollo, yet it also asks us: what happens to her humanity along the way?" -- Ayelet Haimson Lushkov - Los Angeles Review of Books"This cerebral thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat.... Prins’ analysis of the toxic relationship between advisor and student is nuanced and thoughtful.... The Latinist succeeds as both literary fiction and thriller; it is every bit as suspenseful as it is intellectually intriguing, with many of the features of A.S. Byatt’s Possession." -- Hannah Joyner - Washington Independent Review of Books"Within the first few pages of this book, I knew I was in the hands of a masterful storyteller. The Latinist is imaginative, propulsive, and wildly intelligent. What a joy to encounter a thrilling and singular new voice in fiction." -- Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, author of The Nest and Good Company"A novel about love and scholarship, ego and obsession, coercion and consent—a brilliant, marvelously infuriating puzzle of a book that combines the globe-trotting exploits of The Da Vinci Code with the smarts and literary gifts of A. S. Byatt. A terrific debut!" -- Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members and The Shakespeare Requirement"Brainy and deftly plotted, The Latinist enchants with its deft inversions of power, its witty poetic inventions, and its passion for languages old and new. A lovely debut." -- Andrea Barrett, author of Archangel and The Air We Breathe"Mark Prins weaves together an extremely contemporary plot—an American academic caught up in the machinations of her advisor at Oxford—with a much older plot—the discovery of a second-century Roman poet. The two thrillingly intertwine and the result is a wonderfully suspenseful novel. The Latinist is a brilliant debut." -- Margot Livesey, author of The Boy in the Field" The Latinist is a whip-smart tale of obsession that teeters on the knife-edge of suspense and literary fiction; Mark Prins is a worthy successor to Patricia Highsmith, Donna Tartt, and Ian McEwan." -- Alexandra Andrews, author of Who Is Maud Dixon?"With its ambitious young scholar, an ancient tomb, and a scheming advisor, The Latinist is a twisty and memorable new addition to the campus-novel genre. Mark Prins propels you through his tale of breakthroughs and retribution while delivering a sharp commentary on power dynamics in academia. A cunning and insightful read—I couldn’t put it down." -- Maria Hummel, author of Still Lives and Lesson in Red"Darkly disturbing and luminously told.… Every twist is delicious and every turn breathtaking as Mark Prins’s devilish debut revels in a scholarly world of cunning, ruthlessness, and dangerous obsession. Funny, erudite, and utterly absorbing, this is a merciless tale to be relished like a guilty pleasure." -- Christopher J. Yates, author of Black Chalk and Grist Mill Road"Prins’s riveting tale of love, power, and possession matches deep characterization with an intriguing plot involving ancient texts, necropolises, and archaeological sites. Fans of academic thrillers will dig this." -- Publishers Weekly
