New from Princeton University Press: Building an American Empire: The Era of Territorial and Political Expansion by Paul Frymer.

About the book, from the publisher:
How American westward expansion was governmentally engineered to promote the formation of a white settler nation

Westward expansion of the United States is most conventionally remembered for rugged individualism, geographic isolationism, and a fair amount of luck. Yet the establishment of the forty-eight contiguous states was hardly a foregone conclusion, and the federal government played a critical role in its success. This book examines the politics of American expansion, showing how the government's regulation of population movements on the frontier, both settlement and removal, advanced national aspirations for empire and promoted the formation of a white settler nation.

Building an American Empire details how a government that struggled to exercise plenary power used federal land policy to assert authority over the direction of expansion by engineering the pace and patterns of settlement and to control the movement of populations. At times, the government mobilized populations for compact settlement in strategically important areas of the frontier; at other times, policies were designed to actively restrain settler populations in order to prevent violence, international conflict, and breakaway states. Paul Frymer examines how these settlement patterns helped construct a dominant racial vision for America by incentivizing and directing the movement of white European settlers onto indigenous and diversely populated lands. These efforts were hardly seamless, and Frymer pays close attention to the failures as well, from the lack of further expansion into Latin America to the defeat of the black colonization movement.

Building an American Empire reveals the lasting and profound significance government settlement policies had for the nation, both for establishing America as dominantly white and for restricting broader aspirations for empire in lands that could not be so racially engineered.

New from Columbia University Press: Islam: An American Religion by Nadia Marzouki.

About the book, from the publisher:
Islam: An American Religion demonstrates how Islam as formed in the United States has become an American religion in a double sense—first through the strategies of recognition adopted by Muslims and second through the performance of Islam as a faith.

Nadia Marzouki investigates how Islam has become so contentious in American politics. Focusing on the period from 2008 to 2013, she revisits the uproar over the construction of mosques, legal disputes around the prohibition of Islamic law, and the overseas promotion of religious freedom. She argues that public controversies over Islam in the United States primarily reflect the American public's profound divisions and ambivalence toward freedom of speech and the legitimacy of liberal secular democracy.
Nadia Marzouki is a research fellow at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in Paris.

New from Princeton University Press: Getting Tough: Welfare and Imprisonment in 1970s America by Julilly Kohler-Hausmann.

About the book, from the publisher:
The politics and policies that led to America's expansion of the penal system and reduction of welfare programs

In 1970s America, politicians began "getting tough" on drugs, crime, and welfare. These campaigns helped expand the nation's penal system, discredit welfare programs, and cast blame for the era's social upheaval on racialized deviants that the state was not accountable to serve or represent. Getting Tough sheds light on how this unprecedented growth of the penal system and the evisceration of the nation's welfare programs developed hand in hand. Julilly Kohler-Hausmann shows that these historical events were animated by struggles over how to interpret and respond to the inequality and disorder that crested during this period.

When social movements and the slowing economy destabilized the U.S. welfare state, politicians reacted by repudiating the commitment to individual rehabilitation that had governed penal and social programs for decades. In its place, they championed strategies of punishment, surveillance, and containment. The architects of these tough strategies insisted they were necessary, given the failure of liberal social programs and the supposed pathological culture within poor African American and Latino communities. Kohler-Hausmann rejects this explanation and describes how the spectacle of enacting punitive policies convinced many Americans that social investment was counterproductive and the "underclass" could be managed only through coercion and force.

Getting Tough illuminates this narrative through three legislative cases: New York's adoption of the 1973 Rockefeller drug laws, Illinois's and California's attempts to reform welfare through criminalization and work mandates, and California's passing of a 1976 sentencing law that abandoned rehabilitation as an aim of incarceration. Spanning diverse institutions and weaving together the perspectives of opponents, supporters, and targets of punitive policies, Getting Tough offers new interpretations of dramatic transformations in the modern American state.

New from Liveright: The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein.

About the book, from the publisher:

In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation—that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation—the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments—that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.

Through extraordinary revelations and extensive research that Ta-Nehisi Coates has lauded as "brilliant" (The Atlantic), Rothstein comes to chronicle nothing less than an untold story that begins in the 1920s, showing how this process of de jure segregation began with explicit racial zoning, as millions of African Americans moved in a great historical migration from the south to the north.

As Jane Jacobs established in her classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities, it was the deeply flawed urban planning of the 1950s that created many of the impoverished neighborhoods we know. Now, Rothstein expands our understanding of this history, showing how government policies led to the creation of officially segregated public housing and the demolition of previously integrated neighborhoods. While urban areas rapidly deteriorated, the great American suburbanization of the post–World War II years was spurred on by federal subsidies for builders on the condition that no homes be sold to African Americans. Finally, Rothstein shows how police and prosecutors brutally upheld these standards by supporting violent resistance to black families in white neighborhoods.

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited future discrimination but did nothing to reverse residential patterns that had become deeply embedded. Yet recent outbursts of violence in cities like Baltimore, Ferguson, and Minneapolis show us precisely how the legacy of these earlier eras contributes to persistent racial unrest. "The American landscape will never look the same to readers of this important book" (Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund), as Rothstein's invaluable examination shows that only by relearning this history can we finally pave the way for the nation to remedy its unconstitutional past.

New from Oxford University Press: Concentration Camps: A Short History by Dan Stone.

About the book, from the publisher:
Concentration camps are a relatively new invention, a recurring feature of twentieth century warfare, and one that is important to the modern global consciousness and identity. Although the most famous concentration camps are those under the Nazis, the use of concentration camps originated several decades before the Third Reich, in the Philippines and in the Boer War, and they have been used again in numerous locations, not least during the genocides in Bosnia. They have become defining symbols of humankind's lowest point and basest acts.

In this book, Dan Stone gives a global history of concentration camps, and shows that it is not only "mad dictators" who have set up camps, but instead all varieties of states, including liberal democracies, that have made use of them. Setting concentration camps against the longer history of incarceration, he explains how the ability of the modern state to control populations led to the creation of this extreme institution. Looking at their emergence and spread around the world, Stone argues that concentration camps serve the purpose, from the point of view of the state in crisis, of removing a section of the population that is perceived to be threatening, traitorous, or diseased. Drawing on contemporary accounts of camps, as well as the philosophical literature surrounding them, Stone considers the story camps tell us about the nature of the modern world as well as about specific regimes.

New from the University of California Press: A Half Century of Occupation: Israel, Palestine, and the World's Most Intractable Conflict by Gershon Shafir.

About the book, from the publisher:
The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the world's most polarizing confrontations. Its current phase, Israel's "temporary" occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, turned a half century old in June 2017. In these timely and provocative essays, Gershon Shafir asks three questions—What is the occupation, why has it lasted so long, and how has it transformed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? His cogent answers illuminate how we got here, what here is, and where we are likely to go. Shafir expertly demonstrates that at its fiftieth year, the occupation is riven with paradoxes, legal inconsistencies, and conflicting interests that weaken the occupiers' hold and leave the occupation itself vulnerable to challenge.
Gershon Shafir is Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, San Diego, and the founding director of its Human Rights Program.

New from Oxford University Press: The Masses are the Ruling Classes: Policy Romanticism, Democratic Populism, and Social Welfare in America by William Epstein.

About the book, from the publisher:
The Masses are the Ruling Classes proposes the radical, yet seemingly innocuous view that social policy in the United States is determined by mass consent. Contemporary explanations of decision making in the US typically attribute power over policy making to a variety of hidden forces and illegitimate elites holding the masses innocent of their own problems. Yet the enormous openness of the society and near-universal suffrage sustain democratic consent as more plausible than the alternatives -- conspiracy, propaganda, usurpation, autonomous government, and imperfect pluralism. Contrary to prevailing explanations, government is not either autonomous or out of control, business and wealthy individuals have not usurped control of the nation, large segments of the population are not dispossessed of the vote or of a voice in public affairs, and the media has not formed a conspiracy with Hollywood and liberals to deny Americans their God-given freedoms. Despite the multitude of problems that the nation faces, its citizens are not oppressed. In this pithy yet provocative book, Epstein argues that Democracy in the United States is not progressive but is instead populist, and that the core of the populist ideology is romantic rather than pragmatic.

New from Princeton University Press: Masters of Craft: Old Jobs in the New Urban Economy by Richard E. Ocejo.

About the book, from the publisher:

In today's new economy—in which "good" jobs are typically knowledge or technology based—many well-educated and culturally savvy young men are instead choosing to pursue traditionally low-status manual labor occupations as careers. Masters of Craft looks at the renaissance of four such trades: bartending, distilling, barbering, and butchering.

In this in-depth and engaging book, Richard Ocejo takes you into the lives and workplaces of these people to examine how they are transforming these once-undesirable jobs into "cool" and highly specialized upscale occupational niches—and in the process complicating our notions about upward and downward mobility through work. He shows how they find meaning in these jobs by enacting a set of "cultural repertoires," which include technical skills based on a renewed sense of craft and craftsmanship and an ability to understand and communicate that knowledge to others, resulting in a new form of elite taste-making. Ocejo describes the paths people take to these jobs, how they learn their chosen trades, how they imbue their work practices with craftsmanship, and how they teach a sense of taste to their consumers.

Focusing on cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale men's barbers, and whole-animal butcher shop workers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and upstate New York, Masters of Craft provides new insights into the stratification of taste, gentrification, and the evolving labor market in today's postindustrial city.

New from Cambridge University Press: Communications and British Operations on the Western Front, 1914-1918 by Brian N. Hall.

About the book, from the publisher:

This is an important new study examining the military operations of the British Expeditionary Force in 1914–18 through the lens of its communications system. Brian Hall charts how new communications technology such as wireless, telephone and telegraph were used alongside visual signalling, carrier pigeons and runners as the British army struggled to develop a communication system adequate enough to wage modern warfare. He reveals how tenuous communications added to the difficulties of command and control during the war's early years, and examines their role during the major battles of the Somme, Arras, Ypres and Cambrai. It was only in 1918 that the British army would finally develop a flexible and sophisticated communications system capable of effectively coordinating infantry, artillery, tanks and aeroplanes. This is a major contribution to our understanding of British military operations during the First World War, the learning processes of armies and the revolution in military affairs.

New from Princeton University Press: The Happiness Philosophers: The Lives and Works of the Great Utilitarians by Bart Schultz.

About the book, from the publisher:

In The Happiness Philosophers, Bart Schultz tells the colorful story of the lives and legacies of the founders of utilitarianism—one of the most influential yet misunderstood and maligned philosophies of the past two centuries.

Best known for arguing that "it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong," utilitarianism was developed by the radical philosophers, critics, and social reformers William Godwin (the husband of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Mary Shelley), Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart and Harriet Taylor Mill, and Henry Sidgwick. Together, they had a profound influence on nineteenth-century reforms, in areas ranging from law, politics, and economics to morals, education, and women's rights. Their work transformed life in ways we take for granted today. Bentham even advocated the decriminalization of same-sex acts, decades before the cause was taken up by other activists. As Bertrand Russell wrote about Bentham in the late 1920s, "There can be no doubt that nine-tenths of the people living in England in the latter part of last century were happier than they would have been if he had never lived." Yet in part because of its misleading name and the caricatures popularized by figures as varied as Dickens, Marx, and Foucault, utilitarianism is sometimes still dismissed as cold, calculating, inhuman, and simplistic.

By revealing the fascinating human sides of the remarkable pioneers of utilitarianism, The Happiness Philosophers provides a richer understanding and appreciation of their philosophical and political perspectives—one that also helps explain why utilitarianism is experiencing a renaissance today and is again being used to tackle some of the world's most serious problems.

New from Yale University Press: Revival Type: Digital Typefaces Inspired by the Past by Paul Shaw.

About the book, from the publisher:

An illuminating account of the design inspirations and technical transformations that have shaped the digital typefaces of the 21st century

This fascinating tour through typographic history by Paul Shaw, in collaboration with Abby Goldstein, provides a visually rich exploration of digital type revival. Many typefaces from the pre-digital past have been reinvented for use on computers and mobile devices, while other new font designs are revivals of letterforms, drawn from inscriptions, calligraphic manuals, posters, and book jackets. Revival Type deftly introduces these fonts, many of which are widely used, and engagingly tells their stories.

Examples include translations of letterforms not previously used as type, direct revivals of metal and wood typefaces, and looser interpretations of older fonts. Among these are variations on classic designs by John Baskerville, Giambattista Bodoni, William Caslon, Firmin Didot, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon, and Nicolas Jenson, as well as typefaces inspired by less familiar designers, including Richard Austin, Philippe Grandjean, and Eudald Pradell. Updates and revisions of 20th-century classics such as Palatino, Meridien, DIN, Metro, and Neue Haas Grotesk (Helvetica) are also discussed. Handsomely illustrated with annotated examples, archival material depicting classic designs, and full character sets of modern typefaces, Revival Type is an essential introduction for designers and design enthusiasts into the process of reinterpreting historical type.

New from Oxford University Press: An English Governess in the Great War: The Secret Brussels Diary of Mary Thorp by Sophie De Schaepdrijver and Tammy M. Proctor.

About the book, from the publisher:
An Englishwoman of no particular fame living in World War I Brussels started a secret diary in September 1916. Aware that her thoughts could put her in danger with German authorities, she never wrote her name on the diary and ran to hide it every time the "Boches" came to inspect the house. The diary survived the war and ended up in a Belgian archive, forgotten for nearly a century until historians Sophie De Schaepdrijver and Tammy M. Proctor discovered it and the remarkable woman who wrote it: Mary Thorp, a middle-aged English governess working for a wealthy Belgian-Russian family in Brussels.

As a foreigner and a woman, Mary Thorp offers a unique window into life under German occupation in Brussels (the largest occupied city of World War I) and in the uncertain early days of the peace. Her diary describes the roar of cannons in the middle of the night, queues for food and supplies in the shops, her work for a wartime charity, news from an interned godson in Germany, along with elegant dinners with powerful diplomats and the educational progress of her beloved charges.

Mary Thorp's sharp and bittersweet reflections testify to the daily strains of living under enemy occupation, comment on the events of the war as they unfolded, and ultimately serve up a personal story of self-reliance and endurance. De Schaepdrijver and Proctor's in-depth commentary situate this extraordinary woman in her complex political, social, and cultural context, thus providing an unusual chance to engage with the Great War on an intimate and personal level.

New from the University of California Press: A History of Infamy: Crime, Truth, and Justice in Mexico by Pablo Piccato.

About the book, from the publisher:

A History of Infamy explores the broken nexus between crime, justice, and truth in mid-twentieth-century Mexico. Faced with the violence and impunity that defined politics, policing, and the judicial system in post-revolutionary times, Mexicans sought truth and justice outside state institutions. During this period, criminal news and crime fiction flourished. Civil society's search for truth and justice led, paradoxically, to the normalization of extrajudicial violence and neglect of the rights of victims. As Pablo Piccato demonstrates, ordinary people in Mexico have made crime and punishment central concerns of the public sphere during the last century, and in doing so have shaped crime and violence in our times.
Pablo Piccato teaches Latin American history at Columbia University. He studied at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the University of Texas at Austin. His books include City of Suspects: Crime in Mexico City, 1900–1931 and The Tyranny of Opinion: Honor and the Construction of the Mexican Public Sphere.

New from Cornell University Press: Two Weeks Every Summer: Fresh Air Children and the Problem of Race in America by Tobin Miller Shearer.

About the book, from the publisher:
Two Weeks Every Summer, which is based on extensive oral history interviews with former guests, hosts, and administrators in Fresh Air programs, opens a new chapter in the history of race in the United States by showing how the actions of hundreds of thousands of rural and suburban residents who hosted children from the city perpetuated racial inequity rather than overturned it. Since 1877 and to this day, Fresh Air programs from Maine to Montana have brought inner-city children to rural and suburban homes for two-week summer vacations. Tobin Miller Shearer brings to the forefront of his history of the Fresh Air program the voices of the children themselves through letters that they wrote, pictures that they took, and their testimonials. Shearer offers a careful social and cultural history of the Fresh Air programs, giving readers a good sense of the summer experiences for both hosts and the visiting children.

By covering the racially transformative years between 1939 and 1979, Shearer shows how the rhetoric of innocence employed by Fresh Air boosters largely served the interests of religiously minded white hosts and did little to offer more than a vacation for African American and Latino urban youth. In what could have been a new arena for the civil rights movement, white adults often overpowered the courageous actions of children of color. By giving white suburbanites and rural residents a safe race relations project that did not require adjustments to their investment portfolios, real estate holdings, or political affiliations, the programs perpetuated an economic order that marginalized African Americans and Latinos by suggesting that solutions to poverty lay in one-on-one acts of charity.

New from Yale University Press: Babies of Technology: Assisted Reproduction and the Rights of the Child by Mary Ann Mason and Tom Ekman.

About the book, from the publisher:
Millions of children have been born in the United States with the help of cutting-edge reproductive technologies, much to the delight of their parents. But alarmingly, scarce attention has been paid to the lax regulations that have made the U.S. a major fertility tourism destination. And without clear protections, the unique rights and needs of the children of assisted reproduction are often ignored.

This book is the first to consider the voice of the child in discussions about regulating the fertility industry. The controversies are many. Donor anonymity is preventing millions of children from knowing their genetic origins. Fertility clinics are marketing genetically enhanced babies. Career women are saving their eggs for later in life. And Third World women are renting their wombs to the rich. Meanwhile, the unregulated fertility market charges forward as a multi-billion-dollar industry. This deeply-considered book offers answers to the urgent question: Who will protect our babies of technology?

New from The University of North Carolina Press: Winning the Third World: Sino-American Rivalry during the Cold War by Gregg A. Brazinsky.

About the book, from the publisher:
Winning the Third World examines afresh the intense and enduring rivalry between the United States and China during the Cold War. Gregg A. Brazinsky shows how both nations fought vigorously to establish their influence in newly independent African and Asian countries. By playing a leadership role in Asia and Africa, China hoped to regain its status in world affairs, but Americans feared that China's history as a nonwhite, anticolonial nation would make it an even more dangerous threat in the postcolonial world than the Soviet Union. Drawing on a broad array of new archival materials from China and the United States, Brazinsky demonstrates that disrupting China's efforts to elevate its stature became an important motive behind Washington's use of both hard and soft power in the "Global South."

Presenting a detailed narrative of the diplomatic, economic, and cultural competition between Beijing and Washington, Brazinsky offers an important new window for understanding the impact of the Cold War on the Third World. With China's growing involvement in Asia and Africa in the twenty-first century, this impressive new work of international history has an undeniable relevance to contemporary world affairs and policy making.

New from Cornell University Press: Who Should Rule at Home? Confronting the Elite in British New York City by Joyce D. Goodfriend.

About the book, from the publisher:
In Who Should Rule at Home? Joyce D. Goodfriend argues that the high-ranking gentlemen who figure so prominently in most accounts of New York City's evolution from 1664, when the English captured the small Dutch outpost of New Amsterdam, to the eve of American independence in 1776 were far from invincible and that the degree of cultural power they held has been exaggerated. The urban elite experienced challenges to its cultural authority at different times, from different groups, and in a variety of settings.

Goodfriend illuminates the conflicts that pitted the privileged few against the socially anonymous many who mobilized their modest resources to creatively resist domination. Critics of orthodox religious practice took to heart the message of spiritual rebirth brought to New York City by the famed evangelist George Whitefield and were empowered to make independent religious choices. Wives deserted husbands and took charge of their own futures. Indentured servants complained or simply ran away. Enslaved women and men carved out spaces where they could control their own lives and salvage their dignity. Impoverished individuals, including prostitutes, chose not to bow to the dictates of the elite, even though it meant being cut off from the sources of charity. Among those who confronted the elite were descendants of the early Dutch settlers; by clinging to their native language and traditional faith they preserved a crucial sense of autonomy.

New from Cambridge University Press: Dollars for Dixie: Business and the Transformation of Conservatism in the Twentieth Century by Katherine Rye Jewell.

About the book, from the publisher:
Organized in 1933, the Southern States Industrial Council's (SSIC) adherence to the South as a unique political and economic entity limited its members' ability to forge political coalitions against the New Deal. The SSIC's commitment to regional preferences, however,transformed and incorporated conservative thought in the post-World War II era, ultimately complementing the emerging conservative movement in the 1940s and 1950s. In response to New Dealers' attempts to remake the southern economy, the New South industrialists - heirs of C. Vann Woodward's 'new men' of the New South - effectively fused cultural traditionalism and free market economics into a brand of southern free enterprise that shaped the region's reputation and political culture. Dollars for Dixie demonstrates how the South emerged from this refashioning and became a key player in the modern conservative movement, with new ideas regarding free market capitalism, conservative fiscal policy, and limited bureaucracy.

New from Johns Hopkins University Press: The New Middle Kingdom: China and the Early American Romance of Free Trade by Kendall A. Johnson.

About the book, from the publisher:
In the imaginations of early Americans, the Middle Kingdom was the wealthiest empire in the world. Its geographical distance did not deter commercial aspirations—rather, it inspired them. Starting in the late eighteenth century, merchants from New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Salem, Newport, and elsewhere cast speculative lines to China. The resulting fortunes shaped the cultural foundation of the early republic and funded westward frontier expansion.

In The New Middle Kingdom, Kendall A. Johnson argues that—for the merchant princes who speculated in the global Far East, as well as the missionaries and diplomats who followed them—Manifest Destiny spurred more than the coalescence of the fractious regions into the continental Far West. It also promised a golden gateway to the Pacific Ocean through which the nation would realize its historical destiny as the world's new Middle Kingdom of commerce. Examining the influential accounts of westerners at the center of early US cultural development abroad, Johnson conceives a romance of free trade with China as a quest narrative of national accomplishment in a global marketplace.

Drawing from a richly descriptive cross-cultural archive, the book presents key moments in early relations among the twenty-first century's superpowers through memoirs, biographies, epistolary journals, magazines, book reviews, fiction and poetry by Melville, Twain, Whitman, and others, travel narratives, and treaties, as well as maps and engraved illustrations. Paying close attention to figurative language, generic forms, and the social dynamics of print cultural production and circulation, Johnson shows how authors, editors, and printers appealed to multiple overlapping audiences in China, in the United States, and throughout the world. Spanning a full century, from the post–Revolutionary War era to the Gilded Age, The New Middle Kingdom is a vivid look at the Far East through Western eyes, one that highlights the importance of China in antebellum US culture.

New from Oxford University Press: Law and Order in Anglo-Saxon England by Tom Lambert.

About the book, from the publisher:
Law and Order in Anglo-Saxon England explores English legal culture and practice across the Anglo-Saxon period, beginning with the essentially pre-Christian laws enshrined in writing by King AEthelberht of Kent in c. 600 and working forward to the Norman Conquest of 1066. It attempts to escape the traditional retrospective assumptions of legal history, focused on the late twelfth-century Common Law, and to establish a new interpretative framework for the subject, more sensitive to contemporary cultural assumptions and practical realities.

The focus of the volume is on the maintenance of order: what constituted good order; what forms of wrongdoing were threatening to it; what roles kings, lords, communities, and individuals were expected to play in maintaining it; and how that worked in practice. Its core argument is that the Anglo-Saxons had a coherent, stable, and enduring legal order that lacks modern analogies: it was neither state-like nor stateless, and needs to be understood on its own terms rather than as a variant or hybrid of these models. Tom Lambert elucidates a distinctively early medieval understanding of the tension between the interests of individuals and communities, and a vision of how that tension ought to be managed that, strikingly, treats strongly libertarian and communitarian features as complementary. Potentially violent, honour-focused feuding was an integral aspect of legitimate legal practice throughout the period, but so too was fearsome punishment for forms of wrongdoing judged socially threatening. Law and Order in Anglo-Saxon England charts the development of kings' involvement in law, in terms both of their authority to legislate and their ability to influence local practice, presenting a picture of increasingly ambitious and effective royal legal innovation that relied more on the cooperation of local communal assemblies than kings' sparse and patchy network of administrative officials.

New from Columbia University Press: Down the Up Staircase: Three Generations of a Harlem Family by Bruce D. Haynes and Syma Solovitch.

About the book, from the publisher:
Down the Up Staircase tells the story of one Harlem family across three generations, connecting its journey to the historical and social forces that transformed Harlem over the past century. Bruce D. Haynes and Syma Solovitch capture the tides of change that pushed blacks forward through the twentieth century—the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance, the early civil rights victories, the Black Power and Black Arts movements—as well as the many forces that ravaged black communities, including Haynes's own. As an authority on race and urban communities, Haynes brings unique sociological insights to the American mobility saga and the tenuous nature of status and success among the black middle class.

In many ways, Haynes's family defied the odds. All four great-grandparents on his father's side owned land in the South as early as 1880. His grandfather, George Edmund Haynes, was the founder of the National Urban League and a protégé of eminent black sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois; his grandmother, Elizabeth Ross Haynes, was a noted children's author of the Harlem Renaissance and a prominent social scientist. Yet these early advances and gains provided little anchor to the succeeding generations. This story is told against the backdrop of a crumbling three-story brownstone in Sugar Hill that once hosted Harlem Renaissance elites and later became an embodiment of the family's rise and demise. Down the Up Staircase is a stirring portrait of this family, each generation walking a tightrope, one misstep from free fall.

New from Cornell University Press: History and Its Objects: Antiquarianism and Material Culture since 1500 by Peter N. Miller.

About the book, from the publisher:
Cultural history is increasingly informed by the history of material culture—the ways in which individuals or entire societies create and relate to objects both mundane and extraordinary—rather than on textual evidence alone. Books such as The Hare with Amber Eyes and A History of the World in 100 Objects indicate the growing popularity of this way of understanding the past. In History and Its Objects, Peter N. Miller uncovers the forgotten origins of our fascination with exploring the past through its artifacts by highlighting the role of antiquarianism—a pursuit ignored and derided by modem academic history—in grasping the significance of material culture.

From the efforts of Renaissance antiquarians, who reconstructed life in the ancient world from coins, inscriptions, seals, and other detritus, to amateur historians in the nineteenth century working within burgeoning national traditions, Miller connects collecting—whether by individuals or institutions—to the professionalization of the historical profession, one which came to regard its progenitors with skepticism and disdain. The struggle to articulate the value of objects as historical evidence, then, lies at the heart both of academic history-writing and of the popular engagement with things. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that our current preoccupation with objects is far from novel and reflects a human need to reexperience the past as a physical presence.

New from Oxford University Press: Policing Transnational Protest: Liberal Imperialism and the Surveillance of Anticolonialists in Europe, 1905-1945 by Daniel Brückenhaus.

About the book, from the publisher:
Policing Transnational Protest offers an original perspective on the history of police surveillance of anticolonial activists in France, Britain, and Germany in the first half of the twentieth century. Tracing the undertakings of anticolonial activists from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East in Europe and reconstructing the reaction of European governments, it illuminates the increasing cooperation of the police and secret services to monitor the activities of the "oriental revolutionaries" and curb their room to maneuver. But those efforts had an unintended inflammatory effect, provoking both supporters and opponents of colonial rule to understand the conflict in increasingly global and trans-imperial terms. The surveillance also exacerbated tensions between Europeans friendly to the anticolonial cause, and those who prioritized imperial security over civil liberties and national sovereignty. Tracking growing levels of transnational government cooperation against anticolonialists, this book pays special attention to Germany, where many activists were able to carry out their political work in relative safety after escaping surveillance in Britain and France.

By analyzing the emergence of ever more sophisticated counter-terrorism schemes and surveillance apparatuses, Brückenhaus also contributes a pre-history of similar phenomena characterizing the post-9/11 world. He shows how, then as now, an intensification of a "war on terror" went hand in hand with concerns about encroachments on civil liberties, often expressed in open protest against such governance measures. Policing Transnational Protest informs current debates about intelligence gathering and surveillance in several European countries as well as their new cooperative partner, the United States.

New from Yale University Press: Escaping the Dark, Gray City: Fear and Hope in Progressive-Era Conservation by Benjamin Heber Johnson.

About the book, from the publisher:
A compelling and long-overdue exploration of the Progressive-era conservation movement, and its lasting effects on American culture, politics, and contemporary environmentalism

The turn of the twentieth century caught America at a crossroads, shaking the dust from a bygone era and hurtling toward the promises of modernity. Factories, railroads, banks, and oil fields—all reshaped the American landscape and people.

In the gulf between growing wealth and the ills of an urbanizing nation, the spirit of Progressivism emerged. Promising a return to democracy and a check on concentrated wealth, Progressives confronted this changing relationship to the environment—not only in the countryside but also in dense industrial cities and leafy suburbs.

Drawing on extensive work in urban history and Progressive politics, Benjamin Heber Johnson weaves together environmental history, material culture, and politics to reveal the successes and failures of the conservation movement and its lasting legacy. By following the efforts of a broad range of people and groups—women's clubs, labor advocates, architects, and politicians—Johnson shows how conservation embodied the ideals of Progressivism, ultimately becoming one of its most important legacies.

New from Cornell University Press: The One Percent Solution: How Corporations Are Remaking America One State at a Time by Gordon Lafer.

About the book, from the publisher:
In the aftermath of the 2010 Citizens United decision, it's become commonplace to note the growing political dominance of a small segment of the economic elite. But what exactly are those members of the elite doing with their newfound influence? The One Percent Solution provides an answer to this question for the first time. Gordon Lafer's book is a comprehensive account of legislation promoted by the nation's biggest corporate lobbies across all fifty state legislatures and encompassing a wide range of labor and economic policies.

In an era of growing economic insecurity, it turns out that one of the main reasons life is becoming harder for American workers is a relentless—and concerted—offensive by the country's best-funded and most powerful political forces: corporate lobbies empowered by the Supreme Court to influence legislative outcomes with an endless supply of cash. These actors have successfully championed hundreds of new laws that lower wages, eliminate paid sick leave, undo the right to sue over job discrimination, and cut essential public services.

Lafer shows how corporate strategies have been shaped by twenty-first-century conditions—including globalization, economic decline, and the populism reflected in both the Trump and Sanders campaigns of 2016. Perhaps most important, Lafer shows that the corporate legislative agenda has come to endanger the scope of democracy itself.

For anyone who wants to know what to expect from corporate-backed Republican leadership in Washington, D.C., there is no better guide than this record of what the same set of actors has been doing in the state legislatures under its control.

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/19/14 -- CeraTech, the industry's leading producer of durable, high performance, and lowest carbon cement for concrete, announced today the release of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for ekkomaxx cement concrete. This is the first EPD completed for a non-portland bulk cement. It enables architects, leading design firms, and contractors to independently substantiate and confirm the tremendous environmental differences between portland and non-portland cement technologies.
The EPD quantifies CeraTech is producing a cement system with a virtually zero carbon footprint, 95% reduction in the use of virgin resources, and dramatic 50% reduction in the use of water.
The CERATECH Cement system, developed in 2001, is comprised of 95% recycled fly ash and 5% liquid additives. Meeting ASTM International C1157 as a hydraulic cement system, it is accepted by industry standards, codes, and rating systems including the American Concrete Institute (ACI), International Code Council (ICC), and United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
"The growing interest in sustainable construction has fueled industry wide interest in CeraTech. Our recently completed EPD and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for ekkomaxx is critically important. It independently validates our having established a new industry standard as the "greenest", most sustainable concrete available in the world," explained Jon Hyman, CeraTech's President and CEO.
Release of the third-party validated EPD prepared by Martha VanGeem, PE, LEED AP, BD+C, FACI, follows guidelines set forth by the Carbon Leadership Forum's North America Product Category Rules (PCR), with findings from CeraTech's ekkomaxx cement concrete's LCA. Independent verification was conducted by the Athena Sustainable Materials Institute under the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's (NRMCA) Program Operator Rules.
The required LCA verified CeraTech's leadership in durability and sustainability by verifying:
- The lowest carbon footprint of any cement available in the world (near zero).
- More than 50% less water is used in ekkomaxx cement concrete, (a savings of approximately 15 gallons per yd3 -- 150 gallons less water per truckload).
- Increased durability multiples of 2x, 3x, 4x, or more based upon the application.
- Multiple times the Return on Investment (ROI)
As one of the top revenue grossing concrete construction companies in the United States, McCarthy Companies' Project Director, Grant Guerri, exclaimed, "The bottom line is CeraTech's cement mixes are viable for a broad range of applications including wastewater, parking and bridge decks, pavements, chemical/caustic containments, high heat applications, and virtually all green, low carbon construction projects."
According to Narayanan Neithalath, Senior Sustainability Scientist and Associate Professor of the School of Sustainable Engineering and Built Environment at Arizona State University, "This Environmental Product Declaration and Life Cycle Assessment quantify the environmental benefits of well-designed cementitious systems that do not use portland cement as a binder. CeraTech's next generation, "environmentally responsible" cement is eminently suitable for several high-end, special-performance applications, and should be well-received by companies and organizations committed to sustainable, green construction."
About CeraTech USA:
CeraTech USA manufactures, markets, and sells licensed products throughout a network of "Preferred Producers" interested in environmental stewardship and supplying durable concrete products. CeraTech USA's brands of bulk cements for concrete include: ekkomaxx (general purpose, fast drying, low heat of hydration), KEMROK (corrosion resistant), and FIREROK (heat resistant).

Acer Ferrari One 11.6-inch Netbook
Final Thoughts
The Acer Ferrari One is a niche netbook that will only interest those with a fascination with exotic cars and Ferrari or F1. This machine is the same underneath as other Acer netbooks that sell for less money, making the Ferrari trappings just for show.
As a Ferrari fan, I would readily pay the extra money for this netbook and the performance is as good as the machine looks. If you don't care a bit about Ferrari, save some green and get a basic netbook from Acer with the same specs. Ferrari fans will love the Acer Ferrari One.

Sweepstake sponsored by Digislider
The Premium kit includes a Digislider, Shoot-Move-Shoot Controller (for stop-move-stop (non-continuous motion), Slow Motor, and a 8 x AA battery holder to power everything.All you need is a tripod head and a camera and you are ready to go.
It enables smooth and accurate motion via a hand crank (The carriage can also be moved up and down the the rail by hand) so you can shoot video on it as well. You can always upgrade with extra motors or controllers at any time.
The Digislider is well-suited for small DSLRs to larger cameras with lenses, microphones, and other gear (about 10 kgs horizontally and 5kg vertically).
It now has new wider precision engineered shafts with new German engineered polymer low coefficient of friction, low wear shaft bearings.
The rail now has 5 x 3/8 inch tripod thread and 12 x 1/4 inch light stand thread. This allows numerous varieties of attachments along with the tripod or light stands. It also allows for a more sturdy attachment when using a single tripod as both the 3/8 and 1/4 inch screws on the tripod head plate can be utilised, either way to allow more sturdy vertical shots or tilted horizontal shots.
It is solid as a rock, and will handle all terrain and weather.
Slow Motor
The Digislider Slow Motor (for time lapse) easily slips on with minimal effort enabling a fully motorised time lapse dolly slider in seconds with the Digislider Shoot-Move-Shoot Controller.

•From 0.04"/1mm to 31.5"/80mm travel between shots
•Shoot-move-shoot mode (for HDR and long exposures)
•Set-up a time lapse in seconds
•Plug-in and go
The Shoot-Move-Shoot Controller triggers the camera for a set amount of time and then moves the motor for a set distance; doing this on a repetitive loop. Perfect for long exposure time lapses like night time lapses. One dial will set the exposure (if in bulb mode) or the interval time (if in manual mode). The other dial sets the time the motor runs between each exposure. Just plug it into your camera, plug in the motor and the power source and you are ready to go.
8 x AA battery holder (supplied). Has an On/Off switch & lets you control the power right at the source without unplugging. Batteries not included. Use Alkaline AA's for a 12V 3000-4000mAh power supply, or rechargeable NiMH for 2000mAh 9.6V supply.

One of Auckland's newest tourist attractions is setting up in Queenstown, signalling growth in "soft adventure" in New Zealand's adrenaline capital.
Odyssey Sensory Maze set up a year ago in downtown Auckland's Metro Centre, just off Aotea Square, and has done a booming trade with a huge cross-section of people taking up the chance to experience illusionary mazes and light shows.
Odyssey co-directors Michelle Jensen and David Smith had spent leisure time in Queenstown, and after the success of Auckland operations decided setting up in the resort was the next logical step.
"Queenstown has so many great things to do, but not much in the way of families actually sharing time together doing something that is leisure, but interactive at the same time, plus we'll give people something to do when the mountains are closed in winter and they've got some down time in summer," Ms Jenson said.
Mr Smith said it was hard to define what the maze was.
"It's definitely challenging and fun, there's large-scale illusions, soundscaping, and it's really tactile - I even struggle to explain it, and the best thing to do is for people just to come and have a look.
"We aim to invigorate people's senses and take them out of the everyday by providing some good old fashioned escapism, if if it is quite high-tech."
Queenstown's maze will be bigger than Auckland's and the $110,000 fitout of the Shotover St premises is in full swing.
"We're going for a grander scale than our Auckland operation, but at this stage don't have an opening date at all. We're hitting the refit as hard and as fast as we can, and we hope we'll be open some time in March."

A Glove Model For Learning Percutaneous Calyx Access
Introduction and objectives: many biological models with porcine kidney have been developed, to facilitate the learning and training of percutaneous renal surgery. We present a video of a model using a latex glove for percutaneous calyx puncture.
Materials and Methods: Two or three foam layers are used to simulate the abdominal wall layers. A ureteral catheter is inserted in a latex glove, which is closed using a few ligations. The glove is filled with saline solution and contrast media. It is placed on the distal-half of the foams with the fingers looking toward the middle. The fingers are fixed to the foam using medical tapes. The foams are folded, so that the glove is covered. The puncture, guidewire insertion, and small dilation are performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Urologist and residents were taught needle access, and the beginning of tract dilation.
Results: The glove model is simple to set up, with a preparation time of about a few minutes. It is economical, by using widely available material. Percutaneous puncture and limited dilation were possible, and almost realistic, in all the glove's fingers and with the same techniques used in real percutaneous access. The needle mobilization and puncture of the glove's fingertip are similar to the feeling of the calyx puncture. Guidewire insertion and small sequential dilation are possible. However, large dilation and Amplatz sheath insertion are difficult or impossible; the finger is pushed by the dilator. It is a non-biological model so there is a limitation in terms of "tissue feeling" and for anatomic relations. In addition, ultrasound-imaging guidance cannot be used. Evaluations submitted by training session participants revealed a high degree of satisfaction with model effectiveness in the application of percutaneous calyx puncture.
Conclusions: This glove model is an effective mean of skills acquisition especially for percutaneous calyx puncture. It provides a low stress environment that offers an opportunity for supervised, repetitive performance of this essential technical skill. However, further technical experience and comparative studies with biologic and virtual reality simulators are necessary to evaluate this technique.

What Do Kids Think About Valentine's Day
We get it. Well, most of us do. We know what Valentine's Day is. We know what love is and we know how to show it. But, what about the children of the West Midlands?
They're often overlooked when it comes to the 14th February, but have the kids managed to pick up what Valentine's day is? We decided to find out by paying a visit to the Oasis Academy Hobmoor.
We asked some of the (very cute) children there to tell us what they thought Valentine's Day was, what they thought love was and possibly most interestingly, what they thought about people kissing.
Hear their thoughts with Ed and Rachel here:

LAUSD Superintendent Michelle King on public schools It's not even September yet, but LA's 650,000 public school students have already been back at their desks for two weeks. Statewide test results recently showed those students improving but still below the state average. Thirty-nine percent meet English language standards. And only 29 percent meet math standards. Black and Latino kids are doing even worse. Meanwhile, more students are enrolling in charter schools, which means less money for LAUSD. What's the outlook for LA's public schools?
LA Unified Selects a District Insider as New Superintendent In the search for a new Superintendent, LA's elected school board paid a head-hunting firm to search the nation. Now the search is over — and the winner is Michelle King . She started out as a student aide at LAUSD, became a teacher, a principal — and finally the chief deputy to the last two superintendents. All seven board members made the choice unanimous. Michelle King holds her first news conference after being named Superintendent of LAUSD
