University Press of Kansas Who Is James K. Polk
Book SynopsisJames K. Polk’s ascension to the White House was a pivotal moment in propelling the US towards civil war, and the 1844 election expanded the vigorous campaigning that had been growing since 1824. Mark Cheathem examines the transition from traditional political issues, such as banking and tariffs, to newer ones, like immigration and slavery.Trade Review"Who Is James K. Polk? is essential reading for every political junkie, for anyone interested in presidential campaigns, and for all who seek to understand antebellum America and the road to civil war."—Real Clear Books "Elections matter. And few have mattered more in US history than the 1844 election, which elevated to the White House a leader whose aggressive policies inadvertently helped set the nation on a path to civil war. In Who Is James Polk?, historian Mark Cheathem harnesses his unrivalled command of the politics of the 1830s and 1840s to give us the definitive account of this pivotal, if too often neglected, election. A must-read addition to this justly acclaimed series on America’s presidential elections."—Richard J. Ellis, author of Old Tip vs. the Sly Fox: The 1840 Election and the Making of a Partisan Nation"This will be the standard work on the election of 1844. It is also the model for how presidential elections should be studied and discussed. Cheathem gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of all the campaigns during the 1844 election. Any reader will feel like a political insider after reading this excellent work."—William K. Bolt, professor of history, Francis Marion University, and former assistant editor of the James K. Polk Project"Mark Cheathem’s account of the election of 1844 tells us who James K. Polk was, how he earned the Democratic nomination for president, how he won the White House, and why it matters. Deeply researched and engagingly written, the book places this often-overlooked election into the wide sweep of antebellum politics and explains that Polk’s election represented a ‘tipping point’ for the United States. Indeed, Cheathem makes clear that the sectional conflict over slavery that put the nation on the path to civil war cannot be fully analyzed without an understanding of this election. Historiographically significant, this book is a worthy contribution to the American Presidential Elections series."—Christopher J.

Book SynopsisBarcelona 1900 explores the city's artistic flowering in all its dimensions, including paintings by Picasso, Casas, and Santiago Rusiñol; Art Nouveau jewelry by Lluís Masriera; public and domestic architecture by Gaudí, Domènech, and Josep Puig.Trade Review"The subject of this catalog, edited by Sala and accompanying an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is turn-of-the-20th-century Barcelona and its great architectural, cultural, political, and societal changes. Coverage includes the works of dominant artists and architects (e.g., Antoni Gaudi's Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia), notable landmarks (e.g., Els Quartes Gats, the cafe once frequented by Pablo Picasso and his bohemian circle of friends), and influences that include fin de siecle Paris, impressionism, and Norwegian artist Edvard Munch within the dynamics of the times. Art historian contributors capture the major highlights of this Catalan city's modernist transformation in eight brief and beautifully illustrated essays. An anthology of poems and prose follows the essays and provides a sampling of Barcelona's literary character. Readers are allowed a glimpse into the lives of the upper classes through interior photographs of their dwellings, and there are many exquisite full-page, full-color reproductions of decorative displays, architectural photographs, and poster art. An exciting chronicle of Barcelona's rich modern history for contemporary readers; recommended for all art-book collections." -- Library Journal, 15 March 2008

No man before or since has known more about running an affluent household, from keeping vermin out of linen to shopping in the market to caring for hunting hawks. The work has a peculiar tone, bossy yet tender, even elegiac. In their introduction the translators emphasize the husband's firm desire to subordinate his wife, but acknowledge that they found the book more appealing than they had originally expected. -- Paul Freedman * Times Literary Supplement *Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Stanford University Press Mourning Sickness
Book SynopsisThis book explores Hegel's response to the French Revolutionary Terror in relation to contemporary theories of trauma.Trade Review"Comay's grasp of a broad range of the literature of the time is impressive. . . Her index is thorough and well organized. Recommended."—J. A. Gauthier, CHOICE"Rebecca Comay has written a stunning and powerful book. By making Hegel's account of the 'Terror' of the French Revolution the pivot of her reading, Comay offers a Hegel who is more radically modern and intransigently difficult than anything either his supporters or critics have imagined. Comay's work makes philosophy a more capacious, riven, and historically reflective place than before—or maybe just catching up to what Hegel demanded it must be. Mourning Sickness will become as important to reading the second half of Phenomenology of Spirit as Robert Pippin's work is to reading the first half."—J. M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research"Masterful in its analysis of Hegel's arguments and unparalleled in its sensitivity to the subtleties of Hegel's texts,Mourning Sicknessoffers a new and compelling reading of Hegel, in which the French Revolution emerges as the "burning center" of his work. But this is also a penetrating study of the intractably historical dimensions of philosophical invention. From its treatment of the opposition between Reformation and Revolution to its reading of Kant's theory of regicide, from its account of Hegel's analysis of the Terror to its interpretation of Absolute Knowing, this book brilliantly demonstrates how ambiguous—and yet how crucial—the relations between thought and historical experience can be."—Daniel Heller-Roazen, Princeton University
