Ghada Karmi
In Search of Fatima: A Palestinian Story

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: No memoir of life as a diaspora Palestinian has been as personal and intimate as Ghada Karmi’s. Taking the reader through her childhood in Palestine, her flight to Britain after the catastrophe of 1948, and her coming of age in the coffee bars of Golders Green – the middle-class Jewish quarter in North London – Karmi reminds us of the adversities faced by those born in Palestine and, in tracing out her life beyond Palestinian borders, hints at the hardships that continue to plague those that remained in her mother country. Yet it is with a gentle humor that she describes the bizarre and sometimes tense realities that mask her life in “Little Tel Aviv” and, later, her struggle, like that of many other women in the late-fifties, to get a university grant to study medicine. Karmi’s straightforward yet poignant tone is a revelatory glance into the Palestinian exile experience. [detailed...]

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Paperback
Description: When future archaeologists sift through the layers of artifacts from our current era, they are going to scratch their heads over the vast quantities of happy faces. Bright yellow happy face buttons, decals, refrigerator magnets, knobs for pens and pencils, happy-face ties, coffee mugs, wallpaper, stationery and bumper stickers, even happy face stamps issued by the US Postal service in 1999. Happiness reigns supreme and most people in polls when asked what is most important in life will say happiness.` The quest for happiness has become a cultural obsession. It`s a must-have state of mind that is marketed at every turn from fast food to amusement park hawkers to self-help book publishers, cosmetic companies and plastic surgeons. There is even an emerging brand of therapists - happiness counselors. And a new branch of psychology - Happiness Studies - as well as a new scholarly publication, The Journal of Happiness Studies.

David Post
In Search of Jefferson`s Moose: Notes on the State of Cyberspace (Law and Current Events Masters)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1787, Thomas Jefferson, then the American Minister to France, had the `complete skeleton, skin &, horns` of an American moose shipped to him in Paris and mounted in the lobby of his residence as a symbol of the vast possibilities contained in the strange and largely unexplored New World. Taking a cue from Jefferson`s efforts, David Post, one of the nation`s leading Internet scholars, here presents a pithy, colorful exploration of the still mostly undiscovered territory of cyberspace--what it is, how it works, and how it should be governed. What law should the Internet have, and who should make it? What are we to do, and how are we to think, about online filesharing and copyright law, about Internet pornography and free speech, about controlling spam, and online gambling, and cyberterrorism, and the use of anonymous remailers, or the practice of telemedicine, or the online collection and dissemination of personal information? How can they be controlled? Should they be… [detailed...]

In Search of Justice: The 1905-1906 Chinese Anti-American Boycott (Harvard East Asian Monographs)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: How could late Qing China, a country bound largely by parochial ties of family, clan, and native place, produce a nationwide mass movement? Was this popular outburst symptomatic of a domestic `nationalist awakening,` as historians of modern China claim, or a result of pressure from Chinese overseas suffering under harsh U.S. immigration laws, as students of American history contend? In considering these vying explanations for the boycott of American products, Wang identifies a coalition of interests thatcame together to shape the movement`s strategy, objectives, and outcome. He explores the larger structural and organizational resources available to boycott organizers and participants and the role of this common experience in laying the groundwork for later reform and revolutionary movements.

Description: The only thing most people know about Kazakhstan is that homeland to Borat - and he isn`t even real. Actually this vast place - the last unknown inhabited country in the world - is far more surprising and entertaining.

Crisscrossing a vanished land, Christopher Robbins finds Eminem by a shrinking Aral Sea, goes eagle-hunting, visits the scene of Dostoyevsky`s doomed first love, takes up residence beside one-time neighbour Leon Trotsky and visits some of the most beautiful, unspoilt places on earth.

In Search of New Scales: Prince Edmond de Polignac, Octatonic Explorer (Eastman Studies in Music)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1879, French amateur composer Edmond de Polignac (1834-1901) painstakingly devised a new way to create melodies and harmonies using a scale that alternated half and whole steps. This scale-known today as octatonic-was an important element in the music of Liszt and Rimsky-Korsakov, and would later figure prominently in the works of Ravel, Stravinsky, and many others. Sylvia Kahan, author of Music`s Modern Muse: A Life of Winnaretta Singer, Princesse de Polignac, here publishes the Prince`s octatonic treatise for the first time-in both the original French and in English translation-and comments extensively on what the treatise, and the Prince`s little-known compositions, reveal about musical thought in late nineteenth-century Paris. Given his aristocratic lineage, Polignac might seem an unlikely precursor of musical modernism, yet he was known as an advocate of `advanced ideas.` Late in life, he married wealthy heiress Winnaretta Singer, who sponsored prestigious public concerts of… [detailed...]

Successive essays ask: what ideological messages did American influence transmit to Europe after World War I, then again after World War II? Did Nazis and Italian fascists share an economic ideology or impose a unique economic system in the interwar period and during World War II? How do their accomplishments stack up comparatively against those of the liberal democracies? After 1945, what was the relationship between concepts of productivity and class division? How have the major experiences of twentieth-century inflation arisen out of class and interest-group rivalry? Most generally, what has been the representation of interests in capitalist political economies? [detailed...]
