Johns Hopkins University Press The Science of Conjecture
Book SynopsisThe Science of Conjecture provides a history of rational methods of dealing with uncertainty and explores the coming to consciousness of the human understanding of risk.Trade ReviewA remarkable book. Mr. Franklin writes clearly and exhibits a wry wit. But he also ranges knowledgeably across many disciplines and over many centuries. Wall Street Journal The Science of Conjecture opens an old chest of human attempts to draw order from havoc and wipes clean the rust from some cast-off classical tools that can now be reused to help build a framework for the unpredictable future. Science Franklin's style is clear and fluent, with an occasional sly Gibbonian aside to make the reader chuckle. New Criterion An admirably accessible study written in a crisp prose. It presents the reader with anarching historical perspective throughout many a century of human action. -- Giora Hon Centaurus Franklin gives a magisterial account of matters as diverse as the Talmud, Justinian's Digest, torture, witch hunts, Tudor treason trials, ancient and medieval astronomy and physics, humanist historiography, scholastic philosophy, speculations in public debt, and 17th century mathematics. His treatment of medieval law is among the best I have ever read. International Journal of Evidence and Proof Franklin's book is magnificent... Think of [it] as a non-fiction equivalent of Tolstoy's War and Peace. -- Peter Tillers The Jurist The Science of Conjecture is a masterly work, beautifully written, and based on encyclopaedic research... It is simply a tour de force that is unlikely to be surpassed for many a year. -- Barry Miller The Thomist Statistics teachers who like to sprinkle a little history and philosophy into their classes will find much here to delight and challenge them... This is a serious and scholarly work that I expect often will inform my teaching. -- Richard J. Cleary Journal of the American Statistical Association [This book has given me] sheer enjoyment in its density of strange information, in the wit and clarity if its writing, and in the vigour of its argumentation. I recommend it unreservedly to all interested in its subject. -- Oliver Mayo Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics This is the intellectual book of the year, and it ought to become one of the great classics of intellectual history. -- Scott Campbell Interdisciplinary Science Reviews The strength of The Science of Conjecture lies in its panoramic exposition of developments across the centuries and across intellectual disciplines and human endeavors. It is, as one reviewer wrote, 'a magesterial account of matters as diverse as the Talmud, Justinian's Digest, torture, witch hunts, Tudor treason trials, ancient and medieval astronomy and physics, humanist histriography, scholastic philosophy, speculations in public debt, and 17th century mathematics.' -- D. H. Kaye Law and History Review A remarkable book. Mr. Franklin writes clearly and exhibits a wry wit. But he also ranges knowledgeably across many disciplines and over many centuries. There are several reasons to read this book, but perhaps the best reason is its contemporary relevance. The lessons he discusses have pertinence to an age like ours, which has witnessed a gradual waning of faith in the objectivity of the relation of uncertain evidence to conclusion. Wall Street Journal In The Science of Conjecture, James Franklin shows us how deeply and subtly jurists and philosophers from ancient Greece onwards have explored how we can deal rationally with real-life cases (law cases, for instance, or scientific experiments) where the link between cause and effect is not obvious. -- J.M. Coetzee The Australian Since many in the nominalist/empiricist/positivist tradition deny that we can know natures, this book has a place in teacher education as well as legal education for the challenges it poses the reader on how we know, and how well we know, through induction, perception and abstraction. Metascience The text has an even wider importance in that it signals the need for more, not less, study of the history, philosophy and social studies in science to occupy a greater space in undergraduate degrees so that an educated electorate is better able to evaluate what the STEM community tells us is good for the progress of society.

Rutgers University Press Judaism The Genealogy of a Modern Notion
Book SynopsisJudaism makes the bold argument that the very concept of a religion of ‘Judaism’ is an invention of the Christian church. The intellectual odyssey of world-renowned Talmud scholar Daniel Boyarin, this book will change the study of Judaism—an essential key word in Jewish Studies—as we understand it today.Trade Review"A brilliant book that marks a fresh beginning for scholarly conversations about Judaism, religion, and even the historical utility of categories." -- Annette Yoshiko Reed * author of Jews, Christians, and the Roman Empire *"A significant and radical contribution." -- Michael Satlow * author of How the Bible Became Holy *"This book offers a reflective, and even-meta reflective discussion of the term 'Judaism.' Boyarin, as always, offers provocative, trail blazing insights to reckon with." -- Dina Stein * author of Textual Mirrors: Reflexivity, Midrash, and the Rabbinic Self *"What Boyarin does in Judaism is offer us a complex map, a detailed topography, of how the term Judaism came to be used to define Jewish 'doings,' and for some, to define Jews....One of the greatest things a scholar of Boyarin’s stature can do is make arguments that create the requisite space for future scholars to do their work. A book of this scope can never, and should never, close a conversation, but rather open one. Judaism is a term we all use reflexively but do not quite know what it actually means. Boyarin’s contribution to that reflexivity is a major contribution to scholarship." * H-Judaic *"Boyarin’s book provide[s] [the reader] to think through some of these theoretical questions, and to continue our ongoing conversation about the ancient individuals, groups, and ideas that continue to resonate down to the present." * Marginalia *" Boyarin’s provocative new book... succeeds at its primary goal: to destabilize the automatic use of 'Judaism' by scholars." * Marginalia *"A wonderfully clever argument that demands we reconsider much of what we write and teach about Judaism." * Marginalia *"Provocative and challenging." * Marginalia *"What we thus have from Boyarin’s philological genealogy is one reading of 'Judaism' that begins as a negative, is turned into a positive, and then becomes irrelevant, except for those who share it with something else....Boyarin’s genealogy teaches us that Judaism can never stand alone or be alone. If Judaism is all there is, then the term 'Judaism' ceases to exist, mostly because it is no longer necessary." * Marginalia *"Brief and powerful." * Marginalia *"Judaism: The Genealogy of a Modern Notion attests once again to Daniel Boyarin’s restlessly inquisitive mind and to his persistent need to challenge commonly held assumptions in a manner meant to be provocative and contrarian." * Marginalia *"How Christians Invented 'Judaism,' According to a Top Talmud Scholar," by Tomer Persico https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-how-christians-invented-judaism-according-to-a-top-talmud-scholar-1.7417536 * Haaretz *"Boyarin has created a very interesting argument." * Histoire sociale/Social History *Table of ContentsContentsPreface What Are We Talking About When We Talk About “Judaism”?Part 1 The Terms of the DebateChapter 1 Debate of the TermsPart 2 The State of the Lexicon: Questioning the ArchiveChapter 2 Jewry without Judaism: The Stakes of the QuestionChapter 3 Getting Medieval YahadutPart 3: A New Dispensation: The Christian Invention of “Judaism”Chapter 4 “Judaism” out of the Entrails of ChristianityChapter 5 From Yiddishkayt to Judentum; From Judentum to Yahadut;, or Philology and the Transformation of a FolkEpilogueBibliography

The University of Chicago Press Engineering the Eternal City Infrastructure
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Pamela Long's wonderful book brings the reader into the streets and squares of late Renaissance Rome, and recreates the lost cultures of knowledge and practice that took shape there. She shows in vivid detail how scholars and engineers, artists and prelates struggled to recreate ancient Rome and rebuild the infrastructure of the modern city."--Anthony T. Grafton, Princeton University "In Engineering the Eternal City, Pamela Long recaptures the energy and efflorescence of the Eternal City in the late sixteenth century, when Rome appeared to many visitors to be a vast and never-ending construction site. During these crucial decades after the Sack of Rome popes, architects, engineers, physicians, antiquarians, humanists, and city officials devised numerous solutions to the problems of repairing an ancient city as part of making an early modern city a magnificent expression of Rome's unique legacy as the heart of an ancient empire renewed by faith. Readers who love this city and want to learn more about it will enjoy this book."--Paula Findlen, Stanford University

Rutgers University Press Unwatchable
Book SynopsisWith over 50 original essays by leading scholars, artists, critics, and curators, this is the first book to trace the “unwatchable” across our contemporary media environment, in which viewers encounter difficult content on various screens and platforms. The volume offers multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images that circulate in global visual culture.Trade Review"Confronting the Unwatchable," by Maggie Hennefeld and Nicholas Baer https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/confronting-the-unwatchable/#!— Los Angeles Review of Books "Carefully edited to allow multiple voices and experiences to be in dialogue and sometimes challenge each other, Unwatchable shows how productive the unwatchable is as a moral and aesthetic category and also reveals that when it comes to these images, our watch has just begun."— Aurore Spiers, Discourse "The tone of the writing is refreshing—sometimes experimental and at others painfully reflective. Readers embark on deeply personal and highly politicised journeys with contributors, recalling harrowing moments from cinematic, televisual, world, and personal history."— Moveable Type "A substantial collection of essays, bristling with anxiety about the social impact of the kind of mediations broadcasting the news requires of us daily."— Times Literary Supplement "This book will find its greatest connections in studies of both the ethics and aesthetics of visual culture at its fringes."— Communication Booknotes Quarterly "A compelling foray into the bio- and necropolitics of spectacle, suffering, and violence. The short pieces in this weighty collection linger uncomfortably, highlighting the incommensurability of the unwatchable and the unthinkable."— Jasbir K. Puar, author of Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times "The anthology is an impressive collection of essays written by over fifty scholars and artists working on issues in film and media studies from a variety of disciplines and professional (as well as personal) perspectives, each of whom attempts to struggle with sharing what it means for something to be 'unwatchable' for them. Researchers on related issues in film, media, gender, politics, and philosophy broadly construed will find much that is both new and old to consider anew and to reconsider, while those new to such debates may find another space within which to theorize."— Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism "A socially urgent and intellectually galvanizing book. Unwatchable opens up a vital critical space for sharing the burden of navigating the difficult, often painful terrain of the twenty-first century visual regime. Highly readable, and productively challenging, it is a book that will inform our discussions of the politics of watching (and not watching) for a long time to come."— Journal of Cinema and Media Studies "This anthology does nothing less than challenge us to grapple with the criteria and ramifications of the unwatchable. It does not offer any one-dimensional or easily digestible answers to the complex questions raised in individual contributions. Though its richness and variety, it instead makes possible a deeper understanding of the concept of the unwatchable, which has become a crucial category across global media and politics."— MEDIENwissenschaft: Rezensionen New Books Network: New Books in Popular Culture -- New Books in film podcast interview withNicholas Baer, Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, and Gunnar Iversen— New Books Network - New Books in Film "By posing a seemingly modest question—what visual experiences in our media-saturated world are 'unwatchable?'—the editors of this remarkable volume have elicited an astonishing range of intensely felt responses. They reveal the most potent anxieties of our troubled times, forcing us to attend to what we cannot bear to witness directly."— Martin Jay, author of Downcast Eyes: The Denigration of Vision in Twentieth-Century French Thought "This is a volume edited by the discipline’s top scholars and featuring some of our most brilliant theorists. Film scholars will doubtless be citing the essays in this volume for a long time to come. I know I will. What is likely to impress students, and what this collection gifts so gorgeously, is its demonstration of the way theory and film alike can crack open the most pressing issues of our day and offer moral support and ethical guidance for thinking through a life lived as citizen and spectator."— The Communication Review "While many edited anthologies boast interdisciplinarity and intermediality, Unwatchable stands out for the astounding reach of the media and discourses marshalled under its theme. Its implications are manifold, evidence that 'unwatchable' is more than just an aesthetic category. Unwatchable’s editors suggest that the currently unobservable, whether expressly repudiated or involuntarily rendered invisible, will surely linger and haunt the public imagination for years—if not generations—to come." — Film Quarterly "This thoughtfully curated anthology of short essays comes at a classical aesthetic problem with a fresh sense of historical urgency and from a number of truly new, often surprising directions. Radically extending the conceptual reach of its title, Unwatchable offers readers real traction on core questions in media and cultural studies surrounding taste, identity, and embodied experience as it navigates deftly across the dizzying landscape of contemporary spectatorship."— Sianne Ngai, author of Our Aesthetic Categories: Zany, Cute, Interesting "Unwatchable is a powerful, potent collection because of its mission to crack our fingers apart just a little bit wider to see more of what we're averse to.

Rutgers University Press Infortunios de Alonso Ramirez The Misfortunes
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Buscaglia's Spanish-English edition of Siguenza y Gongora's greatest work is a magnificent illustration of what the fields of history and literature can offer when they are brought together. And it is fun to read, to boot! The text takes readers on a fascinating, whirlwind tour through the interlocking worlds of seventeenth-century Mexico and Southeast Asia." -- Camilla Townsend * author of Malintzin's Choices: An Indian Woman in the Conquest of Mexico *“Buscaglia-Salgado’s bilingual edition of Infortunios de Alonso Ramirez/The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramirez is an essential contribution. Multi-faceted and meticulously researched, it situates the story in the context of a global history of empires and piracy, opening new channels for further analysis and research. Deftly deciphering documents in colonial archives, questioning editorial practices, sketching maps, and revisiting his own sailing voyages, Buscaglia-Salgado has tracked Ramírez’s routes, uncovering some of the mysteries surrounding the protagonist and making visible a global historical process.” -- Arcadio Díaz-Quiñones * Princeton University *Table of ContentsTable of Contents In the Footsteps of Alonso Ramírez: A decade in pursuit of the most elusive American pirate Maps and Illustrations Acknowledgements Misfortunes of Alonso Ramírez About the translation To the most excellent gentleman don Gaspar de Sandoval Cerda Silva y Mendoza Approval of the licentiate [in canonic law] don Francisco de Ayerra Santa María, chaplain of the King our lord in his Royal Convent of Jesús María in Mexico [City].

He leaves Acapulco for the Philippines . An account of the route of this voyage and of how he spent the time until he was captured by the English. A summary is given of the plundering and cruelties carried out by these pirates on land and sea until arriving in America. He is set free by the pirates and he remembers what he endured as their captive. Alonso Ramírez, and his shipmates, sails without knowing where they were or where they were going. The troubles and frights they suffered until running aground are retold. Thirst, hunger, disease, and death that aggrieved them in this coast. Unexpectedly they find Catholic folk and know themselves to be in Yucatan, on the mainland of North America. They go to Tihosuco and from there to Valladolid where they experience hardships. They arrive in Mérida. Alonso Ramírez returns to Valladolid and the hardships are greater. The reason why he came to Mexico City and what resulted from it. The history of the first American of universal standing: How Alonso Ramírez, a.k.a Felipe Ferrer, turned the world on its head by circumnavigating the globe. The discovery of Americanness and the presage of the end to empire Consummate impostors always tell the best piratical stories On motherhood, mentoring and being the best at what you do How Ramírez stole the name and reimagined the character of Felipe Ferrer An American con man takes on the English "King of the Sea" Lost at sea, or sailing the West Indies as an Englishman?

Duke University Press Saamaka Dreaming
Book SynopsisThe eminent anthropologists Richard and Sally Price look back at their first years living among the Saamaka maroons in Suriname in the late 1960s, retelling the evolution of their personal lives and careers, relationships with the Saamaka, and the field of anthropology.Trade Review"Beautifully written, this book presents a satisfying commentary on the anthropological enterprise, to be enjoyed by a wide variety of readers. Essential. All public and academic levels/libraries." -- P. Passariello * Choice *"A complex ethnographic narrative . . . a dynamic story with a cast of Saamaka characters. . . . Though the book is published over fifty years after the initial research, it still shows a candor and eye for painstaking detail of moment to moment happenings in daily life." -- Cheryl White * Anthropos *"This inspiring book combines ethnography with a brilliantly written autobiographical account. . . . The way in which Richard Price and Sally Price position themselves as the main protagonists of their interlocutions with Saamaka villagers, is precisely what makes the book so rich." -- Olivia M. Gomes da Cunha * New West Indian Guide *"A retrospective on a life’s work, Saamaka Dreaming stands alone as an introduction to understanding social memory in the black diaspora via ethnographic practice. But it also shows us how that memory can shape political engagement in the present premised on what we might call the hopes—or dreams—of a better future that anthropologists can also help create." -- Sarah E. Vaughn * American Ethnologist *"This is an inspiring narrative on Saamaka Maroons lifestyle changes through half a century, on changes from an anthropological perspective on these people, as well as the development of anthropology as a science and the impact that a researcher can make. It is not only a great source to learn about Saamaka culture but also a great narrative to read—it is literary anthropology at its best." -- Asnate Morozova * Anthropological Notebooks *Table of ContentsPreface ix 1.
