Far from being a naive hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human naturetribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinkingwhich demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn993692045 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781501136702/COVER_GIF"/><p>In The Triumph of Christianity, Bart Ehrman, a master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, shows how a religion whose first believers were twenty or so illiterate day laborers in a remote part of the empire became the official religion of Rome, converting some thirty million people in just four centuries.

From his ideas about the promise and pitfalls of globalization to his steadfast belief in the preservation of human dignity, his work is as relevant today as it was in the eighteenth century. Here, Ryan Hanley brings together some of the world's finest scholars from across a variety of disciplines to offer new perspectives on Smith's life, thought, and enduring legacy. Contributors provide succinct and accessible discussions of Smith's landmark works and the historical context in which he wrote them, the core concepts of Smith's social vision, and the lasting impact of Smith's ideas in both academia and the broader world. They reveal other sides of Smith beyond the familiar portrayal of him as the author of the invisible hand, emphasizing his deep interests in such fields as rhetoric, ethics, and jurisprudence. Smith emerges not just as a champion of free markets but also as a thinker whose unique perspective encompasses broader commitments to virtue, justice, equality, and freedom. An essential introduction to Adam Smith's life and work, this incisive and thoughtprovoking book features contributions from leading figures such as Nicholas Phillipson, Amartya Sen, and John C. Bogle. It demonstrates how Smith's timeless insights speak to contemporary concerns such as growth in the developing world and the future of free trade, and how his influence extends to fields ranging from literature and philosophy to religion and law."Publisher website.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn907495534 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781439175668/COVER_GIF"/><p>"A pageturner masterpiece.

As 1909 dawned, the greatest jewels of explorationset at the world's frozen extremeslay unclaimed: the North and South Poles and the socalled Third Pole, the "pole of altitude," located in unexplored heights of the Himalayas. Before the calendar turned, three expeditions had faced death, mutiny, and the harshest conditions on the planet to plant flags at the furthest edges of the Earth. In the course of one extraordinary year, Americans Robert Peary and Matthew Henson were hailed worldwide as the discoverers of the North Pole; Britain's Ernest Shackleton had set a new geographic farthestsouth record, while his expedition mate, Australian Douglas Mawson, had reached the south magnetic pole; and at the roof of the world, Italy's Duke of the Abruzzi had attained an altitude record that would stand for a generation, the result of the first major mountaineering expedition to the Himalaya's eastern Karakoram, where the daring aristocrat attempted K2 and established the standard route up the most notorious mountain on the planet. Drawing on extensive archival and ontheground research, Edward J. Larson weaves these narratives into one thrilling adventurestory. Larson, author of the acclaimed polar history Empire of Ice, draws on his own voyages to the Himalayas; the Arctic; and the ice sheets of the Antarctic, where he himself reached the South Pole and lived in Shackleton's Cape Royds hut as a fellow in the National Science Foundation's Antarctic Artists and Writers Program. These three legendary expeditionsoverlapping in time, danger, and stakeswere glorified upon their return, their leaders celebrated as the preeminent heroes of their day. Stripping away the myth, Larson, a master historian, illuminates one of the great, overlooked tales of exploration, revealing the extraordinary human achievement at the heart of these journeys."Jacket.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn990286969 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781101902783/COVER_GIF"/><p>The story of the rise of a Yellowstone wolf, and what her life and death tell us about the struggle for the American West.

It has declared allout war against the federal government and its agents, and has carried outwith military precisionan escalating campaign of terror against the American public. Its soldiers are not lone wolves but are highly organized cadres motivated by a coherent and deeply troubling worldview of white supremacy, anticommunism, and apocalypse. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the first full history of the movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in the 1995 bombing of Oklahoma City. Returning to an America ripped apart by a war which, in their view, they were not allowed to win, a small but driven group of veterans, activeduty personnel, and civilian supporters concluded that waging war on their own country was justified. They unified people from a variety of militant groups, including Klansmen, neoNazis, skinheads, radical tax protestors, and white separatists. The white power movement operated with discipline and clarity, undertaking assassinations, mercenary soldiering, armed robbery, counterfeiting, and weapons trafficking. Its command structure gave women a prominent place in brokering intergroup alliances and bearing future recruits. Belew's disturbing history reveals how war cannot be contained in time and space. In its wake, grievances intensify and violence becomes a logical course of action for some. Bring the War Home argues for awareness of the heightened potential for paramilitarism in a present defined by ongoing war.

It's about states, armies adn corporations. It's about orders from on high. But what if that's simply because hierarchical institutions create the archives that historians rely on? What if we are missing the less visible social networks that are the true drivers of change leaving them to the conspiracy theorists, with their dreams of allpowerful Illuminati? The twentyfirst century has been hailed as the Age of Networks. However, in The Square and the Tower, Niall Ferguson argues that networks have always been with us, from the structure of the brain to the food chain, from the family tree to freemasonry. Throughout history, hierarchies housed in high towers have claimed to rule, but often real power has resided in the networks in the town square below. For it is networks that tend to innovate. And it is through networks that revolutionary ideas can contagiously spread. Just because conspiracy theorists like to fantasize about such networks doesn't mean they are not real. From the cults of ancient Rome to the dynasties of the Renaissance, from the founding fathers to Facebook, The Square and the Tower tells the story of the rise, fall and rise of networks. Far from being novel, Ferguson argues, our era is the Second Networked Age, with the personal computer in the role of the printing press. And he shows how network theory concepts such as homophily, degrees of separation, weak ties, viral contagions, and phase transitions can transform our understanding of both the past and the present. Just as The Ascent of Money put Wall Street into historical perspective as the financial crisis struck ten years ago, so The Square and the Tower does for Silicon Valley as political storm clouds gather over the tech titans. Those who prophesize a global community of interconnected netizens are in for a shock, Ferguson warns. For the conflicts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries already have unnerving parallels today in the time of Facebook, the Islamic State and Trump. from dust jacket.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=on1022075547 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781107099449/COVER_GIF"/><p>The third edition of Radiogenic Isotope Geology examines revolutionary changes in geochemical thinking that have occurred over the past fifteen years.

In some ways, however, Adler's ubiquity has made him invisible. In this book, Jon Carlson and Matt EnglarCarlson explore the theory, history, research, and practice of a personcentered approach to psychotherapy that was far ahead of its time. In Adler's view, all behavior has social meaning, and the sociocultural context of a person's life is a driving influence on his or her mental health and life experiences. With his emphasis on social interest a sense of belonging to and participating in the common good Adler envisioned a psychology of growth, where people could strive to overcome difficulties and change their lives under their own power. Counseling and psychotherapy must therefore encourage the client to master the core tasks of life: work, friendship, and loveintimacy"The publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn957264678 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781501102370/COVER_GIF"/><p>Traces the history of the Marshall Plan and the efforts to reconstruct western Europe as a bulwark against communist authoritarianism during a twoyear period that saw the collapse of postwar U.S.Soviet relations and the beginning of the Cold War.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=on1021054820 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/0823074293/COVER_GIF"/><p></p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocm03072258 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/0070651388/COVER_GIF"/><p>"A collection of glamour portraits taken by Hollywood's finest still photographers who, with the guidance of studio bosses, were the image makers"Jacket.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocm00257096 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/0847813444/COVER_GIF"/><p>Here is a dramatic collection of Evan's photographs taken during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Following the phenomenal success of General George C. Marshall's leadership of the American army during World War II, he was the standout candidate for a vital international mission: brokering a coalition government between China's warring Nationalists and Communists. Marshall went overseas as a U.S. "special representative" and began enacting miraculous change. Under Marshall's guiding hand, China's embattled political factions agreed to a ceasefire and settled on the principles of a democratic government. But over the next ten months, Marshall's mission soured: the agreements he brokered fractured and civil war came to China after all. This fascinating narrative history portrays the incredible beginnings and ultimate failure of Marshall's highstakes mission, with a remarkable cast of characters featuring a heroes' gallery of American diplomatsTruman, Eisenhower, MacArthur, and many others. In spellbinding, pinpoint detail, The China Mission chronicles an unforgettable misstep in American diplomacy that changed the course of global politics forevermore."Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn988280794 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780545880831/COVER_GIF"/><p>Although separated by continents and decades, Josef, a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany; Isabel, a Cuban girl trying to escape the riots and unrest plaguing her country in 1994; and Mahmoud, a Syrian boy in 2015 whose homeland is torn apart by violence and destruction, embark on harrowing journeys in search of refuge, discovering shocking connections that tie their stories together.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn973803253 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780545863209/COVER_GIF"/><p>Maverick Falconer is just starting middle school and he wishes he were a hero like his father because maybe then he could deal with his mother's drinking and series of abusive boyfriends, not to mention the kids who bully him in middle school (pretty much the same ones who bullied him in elementary school)but as the year passes he begins to realize that other kids have problems too, and maybe if they can all survive sixthgrade things will get better.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn961923862 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780316266574/COVER_GIF"/><p>"An illustrated collection of comically irreverent rhyming poems for readers of all ages, ranging in topic from avocados and anacondas to zombies and zebras (dressed like ghosts)" Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn957455001 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780545931984/COVER_GIF"/><p>Seventhgrader Annabelle's mother is a hoarder, and their whole house is full of canned goods, broken toys, fabric, and old newspapersbut when a pile of newspapers (organized by weather reports) falls on Annabelle's younger sister Leslie and their mother is more concerned about the newspapers, it sets off a chain of events that brings their fixitall grandmother in and Annabelle realizes that if there is any hope for change she can not isolate herself and keep her family's problems secret.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn953576411 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780544876392/COVER_GIF"/><p>Told that they will have to move out of their Harlem brownstone just after Christmas, the five Vanderbeeker children, ages four to twelve, decide to change their reclusive landlord's mind.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn967067585 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich//COVER_GIF"/><p>"Lloyd, an eternal optimist, seeks to capture the heart of Diane, an unattainable high school beauty and straightA student.

But the littleknown fact is that female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovationthey've just been erased from the story. Until now. Women are not ancillary to the history of technology; they turn up at the very beginning of every important wave. But they've often been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don't even realize. VICE reporter and YACHT lead singer Claire L. Evans finally gives these unsung female heroes their due with her insightful social history of the Broad Band, the women who made the internet what it is today. Learn from Ada Lovelace, the tortured, imaginative daughter of Lord Byron, who wove numbers into the first program for a mechanical computer in 1842. Seek inspiration from Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing by leading the charge for machineindependent programming languages after World War II. Meet Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the onewoman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online, and Stacy Horn, who ran one of the firstever social networks on a shoestring out of her New York City apartment in the 1980s. Evans shows us how these women built and colored the technologies we can't imagine life without. Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied social convention and the longest odds to become database poets, informationwranglers, hypertext dreamers, and glass ceilingshattering dot comera entrepreneurs. This inspiring call to action is a revelation: women have embraced technology from the start. It shines a light on the bright minds whom history forgot, and shows us how they will continue to shape our world in ways we can no longer ignore. Welcome to the Broad Band.

Providing a comprehensive examination of prejudice from its evolutionary beginnings and environmental influences through to its manifestations and consequences, this handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students who are passionate about understanding prejudice, social change, collective action, and prejudice reduction. Featuring cuttingedge research from top scholars in the field, the chapters provide an overview of psychological models of prejudice; investigate prejudice in specific domains such as race, religion, gender, and appearance; and develop explicit, evidencebased strategies for disrupting the processes that produce and maintain prejudice. This handbook challenges researchers and readers to move beyond their comfort zone, and sets the agenda for future avenues of research, policy, and intervention.

As a result, the number of hate crimes committed against Middle Eastern Americans of all origins and religions have increased, and civil rights advocates struggle to confront this striking reality. In Islamophobia and Racism in America, Erik Love draws on indepth interviews with Middle Eastern American advocates. He shows that, rather than using a wellworn civil rights strategy to advance reforms to protect a community affected by racism, many advocates are choosing to bolster universal civil liberties in the United States more generally, believing that these universal protections are reliable and strong enough to deal with social prejudice. In reality, Love reveals, civil rights protections are surprisingly weak, and do not offer enough avenues for justice, change, and community reassurance in the wake of hate crimes, discrimination, and social exclusion. This unique and timely study wrestles with the disturbing implications of these findings for the persistence of racismincluding Islamophobiain the twentyfirst century. As America becomes a "majorityminority" nation, this strategic shift in American civil rights advocacy signifies challenges in the decades ahead, making Love's findings essential for anyone interested in the future of universal civil rights in the United States.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn961160687 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781433826986/COVER_GIF"/><p>"Intention is fundamental to any project, endeavor, or journey.

The final moments of Garner's life were captured on video and seen by millions. His agonized last words, 'I can't breathe,' became a rallying cry for the nascent Black Lives Matter protest movement. A grand jury ultimately declined to indict the officer who wrestled Garner to the pavement. Matt Taibbi's deeply reported retelling of these events liberates Eric Garner from the abstractions of newspaper accounts and lets us see the man in fullwith all his flaws and contradictions intact. A husband and father with a complicated personal history, Garner was neither villain nor victim, but a fiercely proud individual determined to do the best he could for his family, bedeviled by bad luck, and ultimately subdued by forces beyond his control. In America, no miscarriage of justice exists in isolation, of course, and in I Can't Breathe Taibbi also examines the conditions that made this tragedy possible. Featuring vivid vignettes of life on the street and inside our Kafkaesque court system, Taibbi's kaleidoscopic account illuminates issues around policing, mass incarceration, the underground economy, and racial disparity in law enforcement. No one emerges unsullied, from the conservative district attorney who halfheartedly prosecutes the case to the progressive mayor caught between the demands of outraged activists and the footdragging of recalcitrant police officials. A masterly narrative of urban America and a scathing indictment of the perverse incentives built into our penal system, I Can't Breathe drills down into the particulars of one case to confront us with the human cost of our broken approach to dispensing criminal justice"Book jacket.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn961006277 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780190656454/COVER_GIF"/><p>" Throughout her prodigious life, activist and lawyer Pauli Murray systematically fought against all arbitrary distinctions in society, channeling her outrage at the discrimination she faced to make America a more democratic country. In this definitive biography, Rosalind Rosenberg offers a poignant portrait of a figure who played pivotal roles in both the modern civil rights and women's movements. A mixedrace orphan, Murray grew up in segregated North Carolina before escaping to New York, where she attended Hunter College and became a labor activist in the 1930s. When she applied to graduate school at the University of North Carolina, where her white greatgreatgrandfather had been a trustee, she was rejected because of her race. She went on to graduate first in her class at Howard Law School, only to be rejected for graduate study again at Harvard University this time on account of her sex. Undaunted, Murray forged a singular career in the law. In the 1950s, her legal scholarship helped Thurgood Marshall challenge segregation headon in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. When appointed by Eleanor Roosevelt to the President's Commission on the Status of Women in 1962, she advanced the idea of Jane Crow, arguing that the same reasons used to condemn race discrimination could be used to battle gender discrimination. In 1965, she became the first African American to earn a JSD from Yale Law School and the following year persuaded Betty Friedan to found an NAACP for women, which became NOW. In the early 1970s, Murray provided Ruth Bader Ginsburg with the argument Ginsburg used to persuade the Supreme Court that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution protects not only blacks but also women and potentially other minority groups from discrimination. By that time, Murray was a tenured history professor at Brandeis, a position she left to become the first black woman ordained a priest by the Episcopal Church in 1976. Murray accomplished all this while struggling with issues of identity. She believed from childhood she was male and tried unsuccessfully to persuade doctors to give her testosterone. While she would today be identified as transgender, during her lifetime no social movement existed to support this identity. She ultimately used her private feelings of being "inbetween" to publicly contend that identities are not fixed, an idea that has powered campaigns for equal rights in the United States for the past halfcentury.

Disabled but still productive factory workers were being fired, and developmentally disabled individuals who had previously contributed domestic or agricultural labor in homes or on farms were being sent to institutions and poorhouses. [The author] pinpoints the origins and ramifications of this seachange in American society, exploring the ways that public policy removed the disabled from the category of "deserving" recipients of public assistance, transforming them into a group requiring rehabilitation in order to achieve "selfcare" and "selfsupport." By tracing the experiences of advocates, program innovators, and disabled people caught up in this epochal transition, Rose ... integrates disability history and labor history to show how disabled people and their families were relegated to poverty and secondclass economic and social citizenship, with vast consequences for debates about disability, poverty, and welfare in the century to come" Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn949669599 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781555977672/COVER_GIF"/><p>This volume confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through an array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created an innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. "I am," she writes, "a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live."</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn946693814 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780374189976/COVER_GIF"/><p>"An original and consequential argument about race, crime, and the law today, Americans are debating our criminal justice system with new urgency. Mass incarceration and aggressive police tacticsand their impact on people of colorare feeding outrage and a consensus that something must be done. But what if we only know half the story? In Locking Up Our Own, the Yale legal scholar and former public defender James Forman Jr. weighs the tragic role that some African Americans themselves played in escalating the war on crime. As Forman shows, the first substantial cohort of black mayors, judges, and police chiefs took office around the country amid a surge in crime. Many came to believe that tough measuressuch as stringent drug and gun laws and "pretext traffic stops" in poor African American neighborhoodswere needed to secure a stable future for black communities. Some politicians and activists saw criminals as a "cancer" that had to be cut away from the rest of black America. Others supported harsh measures more reluctantly, believing they had no other choice in the face of a public safety emergency. Drawing on his experience as a public defender and focusing on Washington, D.C., Forman writes with compassion for individuals trapped in terrible dilemmasfrom the young men and women he defended to officials struggling to cope with an impossible situation. The result is an original view of our justice system as well as a moving portrait of the human beings caught in its coils."

What exactly is criminal justice? How much of it is a system of law and how much is a collection of situational social practices? What roles do the Constitution and the Supreme Court play? How do race and gender shape outcomes? How does change happen, and what changes or adaptations should be pursued? The New Criminal Justice Thinking addresses the challenges of this historic moment by asking essential theoretical and practical questions about how the criminal system operates. In this thorough and thoughtful volume, scholars from across the disciplines of legal theory, sociology, criminology, critical race theory, and organizational theory offer crucial insights into how the criminal system works in both theory and practice. By engaging both classic issues and new understandings, this volume offers a comprehensive framework for thinking about the modern justice system"Publisher's website.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn971629502 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780674737723/COVER_GIF"/><p>One of the most private decisions a woman can make, abortion is also one of the most contentious topics in American civic life. Protested at rallies and politicized in party platforms, terminating pregnancy is often characterized as a selfish decision by women who put their own interests above those of the fetus. This background of stigma and hostility has stifled women's willingness to talk about abortion, which in turn distorts public and political discussion. To pry open the silence surrounding this public issue, Sanger distinguishes between abortion privacy, a form of nondisclosure based on a woman's desire to control personal information, and abortion secrecy, a woman's defense against the many harms of disclosure. Laws regulating abortion patients and providers treat abortion not as an acceptable medical decisionlet alone a rightbut as something disreputable, immoral, and chosen by mistake. Exploiting the emotional power of fetal imagery, laws require women to undergo ultrasound, a practice welcomed in wanted pregnancies but commandeered for use against women with unwanted pregnancies. Sanger takes these prejudicial views of women's abortion decisions into the twentyfirst century by uncovering new connections between abortion law and American culture and politics. New medical technologies, women's increasing willingness to talk online and off, and the prospect of tighter judicial reins on state legislatures are shaking up the practice of abortion. As talk becomes more transparent and acceptable, women's decisions about whether or not to become mothers will be treated more like those of other adults making significant personal choices.

He explains the commission's work, why its files were kept secret, and demonstrates how the lost precedents of the commission's indictments should introduce important new paradigms for prosecuting war crimes today. The UNWCC examined roughly 36,000 cases in Europe and Asia. Thousands of trials were carried out at the countrylevel, and hundreds of war criminals were convicted. This rewrites the history of human rights in the wake of World War II, which is too focused on the few trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo. Until a protracted lobbying effort by Plesch and colleagues, the UNWCC's files had been kept out of public view in the UN archives under pressure from the US government. The US initially wanted the files closed to smooth the way for postwar collaboration with Germany and Japan, and the few researchers who did gain permission to see the files were not permitted to even take notes until the files' recent release. Now revealed, the precedents set by these cases should have enormous practical utility for prosecuting war crimes today.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn957554721 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780231180788/COVER_GIF"/><p>"The treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, Guantánamo Bay, and farflung CIA 'black sites' after the attacks of 9/11 included cruelty that defied legal and normative prohibitions in U.S. and international law. The antitorture stance of the United States was brushed aside. Since then, the guarantee of American civil liberties and due process for POWs and detainees has grown muddled, threatening the norms that sustain modern democracies. 'How the Gloves Came Off' considers the legal and political arguments that led to this standoff between civility and chaos and their significant consequences for the strategic interests and standing of the United States. Unpacking the rhetoric surrounding the push for unitary executive action in wartime, 'How the Gloves Came Off' traces the unmaking of the consensus against torture. It implicates U.S. military commanders, highlevel government administrators, lawyers, and policy makers from both parties, exposing the ease with which powerful actors manipulated ambiguities to strip detainees of their humanity. By targeting the language and logic that made torture thinkable, this book shows how future decision makers can craft an effective counternarrative and set a new course for U.S. policy toward POWs and detainees. Whether leaders use their influence to reinforce a prohibition of cruelty to prisoners or continue to undermine longstanding international law will determine whether the United States retains a core component of its founding identity."Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn954038022 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780393254365/COVER_GIF"/><p>An exploration of the most commonly asked questions about the Holocaust challenges misconceptions and discusses how no single theory fully explains the tragedy, drawing on a wealth of scholarly research and experience to offer new insights.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn951070866 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780691172422/COVER_GIF"/><p>"Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States. Did the American regime of racial oppression in any way inspire the Nazis? The unsettling answer is yes. In Hitler's American Model, James Whitman presents a detailed investigation of the American impact on the notorious Nuremberg Laws, the centerpiece antiJewish legislation of the Nazi regime. Contrary to those who have insisted that there was no meaningful connection between American and German racial repression, Whitman demonstrates that the Nazis took a real, sustained, significant, and revealing interest in American race policies. As Whitman shows, the Nuremberg Laws were crafted in an atmosphere of considerable attention to the precedents American race laws had to offer. German praise for American practices, already found in Hitler's Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and the most radical Nazi lawyers were eager advocates of the use of American models. But while Jim Crow segregation was one aspect of American law that appealed to Nazi radicals, it was not the most consequential one. Rather, both American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Lawsthe Citizenship Law and the Blood Law. Whitman looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh. Indelibly linking American race laws to the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany, Hitler's American Model upends understandings of America's influence on racist practices in the wider world."

Beyond Trans pushes the conversation on gender identity to its limits: questioning the need for gender categories in the first place. Whether on birth certificates or college admissions applications or on bathroom doors, why do we need to mark people and places with sex categories? Do they serve a real purpose or are these places and forms just mechanisms of exclusion? Heath Fogg Davis offers an impassioned call to rethink the usefulness of dividing the world into not just Male and Female categories but even additional categories of Transgender and gender fluid. Davis, himself a transgender man, explores the underlying genderenforcing policies and customs in American life that have led to transgender bathroom bills, college admissions controversies, and more, arguing that it is necessary for our society to take real steps to challenge the assumption that gender matters. He examines four areas where we need to rethink our sexclassification systems: sexmarked identity documents such as birth certificates, driver's licenses and passports; sexsegregated public restrooms; singlesex colleges; and sexsegregated sports. Speaking from his own experience and drawing upon major cases of sex discrimination in the news and in the courts, Davis presents a persuasive case for challenging how individuals are classified according to sex and offers concrete recommendations for alleviating sex identity discrimination and sexbased disadvantage.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn961205842 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780465096916/COVER_GIF"/><p>"Pfaff argues that existing accounts of the causes of mass incarceration are fundamentally misguided.

The result is Brotherhood a distinctive code of identity that governs the norms, values, and regulations that bind members together, maintains their activism, and guides their behavior in everyday life. The book also explains the Brotherhood's durability and how it endured regime repression and exclusion over the past three decades, which alAnani attributes to the organization's structure and coherence.

The Framers' Coup is more than a compendium of great stories, however, and the powerful arguments that feature throughout will reshape our understanding of the nation's founding. Simply put, the Constitutional Convention almost didn't happen, and once it happened, it almost failed. And, even after the convention succeeded, the Constitution it produced almost failed to be ratified. Just as importantly, the Constitution was hardly the product of philosophical reflections by brilliant, disinterested statesmen, but rather ordinary interest group politics. Multiple conflicting interests had a say, from creditors and debtors to city dwellers and backwoodsmen. The upper class overwhelmingly supported the Constitution; many working class colonists were more dubious. Slave states and nonslave states had different perspectives on how well the Constitution served their interests. Ultimately, both the Constitution's content and its ratification process raise troubling questions about democratic legitimacy. The Federalists were eager to avoid fullfledged democratic deliberation over the Constitution, and the document that was ratified was stacked in favor of their preferences. And in terms of substance, the Constitution was a significant departure from the more democratic state constitutions of the 1770s.

Assimilating the archaeological remains from the battlefield along with the many letters, journals, and memoirs of the men and women in both camps, Snow provides a richly detailed narrative of the two battles fought at Saratoga over the course of thirtythree tense and bloody days.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn937999282 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781496805553/COVER_GIF"/><p></p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn930257155 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781479816149/COVER_GIF"/><p></p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn926743443 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780816694754/COVER_GIF"/><p></p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn927241644 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780674660458/COVER_GIF"/><p>"Mention "shantytowns" today and the universal assumption is that you'll be talking about exploding slums in a developing nation in Africa, South Asia, or South America.

In fact, it is a nation divided. It has been so for some time and has grown more so. This book provides a new and historically grounded perspective on the polarization of America, systematically documenting how and why it happened. Polarized presents commonsense benchmarks to measure polarization, draws data from a wide range of historical sources, and carefully assesses the quality of the evidence. Through an innovative and insightful use of circumstantial evidence, it provides a muchneeded reality check to claims about polarization. This rigorous yet engaging and accessible book examines how polarization displaced pluralism and how this affected American democracy and civil society. Polarized challenges the widely held belief that polarization is the product of party and media elites, revealing instead how the American public in the 1960s set in motion the increase of polarization. American politics became highly polarized from the bottom up, not the top down, and this began much earlier than often thought. The Democrats and the Republicans are now ideologically distant from each other and about equally distant from the political center. Polarized also explains why the parties are polarized at all, despite their battle for the decisive median voter. No subject is more central to understanding American politics than political polarization, and no other book offers a more indepth and comprehensive analysis of the subject than this one.

The author offers an account of capitalism that weighs its great achievements against its great costs, crises, and failures. The book puts the rise of capitalist economies in social, political, and cultural context, and shows how their current problems and foreseeable future are connected to a long history. The book describes how capitalist expansion was connected to colonialism; how industrialism brought unprecedented innovation, growth, and prosperity but also increasing inequality; and how managerialism, financialization, and globalization later changed the face of capitalism. The book also addresses the idea of capitalism in the work of thinkers such as Marx, Weber, and Schumpeter, and chronicles how criticism of capitalism is as old as capitalism itself, fed by its persistent contradictions and recurrent emergencies.

Young people from these communities have come of age in a time when the question of political engagement is both urgent and fraught. In The 9/11 Generation, Sunaina Marr Maira uses extensive ethnography to understand the meaning of political subjecthood and mobilization for Arab, South Asian, and Afghan American youth. Maira explores how young people from communities targeted in the War on Terror engage with the "political," forging coalitions based on new racial and ethnic categories, even while under constant scrutiny and surveillance, and organizing around notions of civil rights and human rights. The 9/11 Generation explores the possibilities and pitfalls of rightsbased organizing at a moment when the vocabulary of rights and democracy has been used to justify imperial interventions, such as the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maira further reconsiders political solidarity in crossracial and interfaith alliances at a time when US, nationalism is understood as not just multicultural but also postracial. Throughout, she weaves stories of post9/11 youth activism through key debates about neoliberal democracy, the "radicalization" of Muslim youth, gender, and humanitarianism.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn946161364 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780817318970/COVER_GIF"/><p></p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn910334435 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780375423222/COVER_GIF"/><p>"Historian Heather Ann Thompson offers the first definitive telling of the Attica prison uprising, the state's violent response, and the victims' decadeslong quest for justicein time for the fortyfifth anniversary of the events" Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn945169854 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781908977465/COVER_GIF"/><p>"The book explains how the economic environment changed throughout 10 of the most spectacular financial crises of the past century.

Writing with verve and insight, distinguished classicist Richard Jenkyns explores a thousand years of classical civilization, carrying readers from the depths of the Greek dark ages through the glittering heights of Rome's empire. Jenkyns begins with Homer and the birth of the epic before exploring the hypnotic poetry of Pindar, Sappho, and others from Greece's archaic past. Later, in Athens's classical age, Jenkyns reveals the radical nature of Sophocles's choice to portray Ajax as a psychologically wounded warrior; how Aeschylus developed tragedy; and how Herodotus, in "inventing history," brought to narrative an epic and tragic quality. We meet the strikingly modern figure of Virgil, struggling to mirror epic art in an age of empire, and experience the love poems of Catullus, who imbued verse with obsessive passion as never before. Even St. Paul and other early Christian writers are artfully grounded here in their classical literary context. A dynamic and comprehensive introduction to Greek and Roman literature, Jenkyns's Classical Literature is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the classics, and the extraordinary origins of Western culture."Dust jacket.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn932387077 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9781784532611/COVER_GIF"/><p>The philosophical traditions of China have arguably influenced more human beings than any other. China has been the home not only of its indigenous philosophical traditions of Confucianism and Daoism, but also of uniquely modified forms of Buddhism. As Ronnie L Littlejohn shows, these traditions have for thousands of years formed the bedrock of the longest continuing civilization on the planet; and Chinese philosophy has profoundly shaped the institutions, social practices and psychological character of East and Southeast Asia. The author here surveys the key texts and philosophical systems of Chinese thinkers in a completely original and illuminating way. Ranging from the Han dynasty to the present, he discusses the six classical schools of Chinese philosophy (YinYang, Ru, Mo, Ming, Fa and DaoDe); the arrival of Buddhism in China and its distinctive development; the central figures and movements from the end of the Tang dynasty to the introduction into China of Western thought; and the impact of Chinese philosophers ranging from Confucius and Laozi to Tu Weiming on their equivalents in the West.

He charts the history of the drugs' development and the research that tests their worth, from the Swiss psychiatrist Roland Kuhn's pioneering midcentury discovery of imipramine's antidepressant properties to recent controversial studies suggesting that medications like Prozac and Paxil may be no better than placebos in alleviating symptoms. He unpacks the complex "inside baseball" of psychiatrystatisticsand reveals the fascinating ways that clinical studies and their results can be combined, manipulated, and skewed toward a desired conclusion. All the while, Kramer never loses sight of the patients themselves.

How did the "land of the free" become the home of the world's largest prison system? Challenging the belief that America's prison problem originated with the Reagan administration's War on Drugs, Elizabeth Hinton traces the rise of mass incarceration to an ironic source: the social welfare programs of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society at the height of the civil rights era. Johnson's War on Poverty policies sought to foster equality and economic opportunity. But these initiatives were also rooted in widely shared assumptions about African Americans' role in urban disorder, which prompted Johnson to call for a simultaneous War on Crime. The 1965 Law Enforcement Assistance Act empowered the national government to take a direct role in militarizing local police. Federal anticrime funding soon incentivized social service providers to ally with police departments, courts, and prisons. Under Richard Nixon and his successors, welfare programs fell by the wayside while investment in policing and punishment expanded. Anticipating future crime, policy makers urged states to build new prisons and introduced law enforcement measures into urban schools and public housing, turning neighborhoods into targets of police surveillance. By the 1980s, crime control and incarceration dominated national responses to poverty and inequality. The initiatives of that decade were less a sharp departure than the full realization of the punitive transformation of urban policy implemented by Republicans and Democrats alike since the 1960s"Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn926061456 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780691142098/COVER_GIF"/><p>260 million years ago, life on Earth suffered wave after wave of cataclysmic extinctions, with the worstthe endPermian extinctionwiping out nearly every species on the planet.

S. Eliot�s Poems establishes a new text of the Collected Poems 1909�1962, rectifying accidental omissions and errors that have crept in during the century since Eliot�s astonishing debut, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." As well as the masterpieces, the edition contains the poems of Eliot�s youth, which were rediscovered only decades later, others that circulated privately during his lifetime, and love poems from his final years, written for his wife Valerie Eliot. Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the imaginative life of each poem. Calling upon Eliot�s critical writings, as well as his drafts, letters, and other original materials, they illustrate not only the breadth of Eliot�s interests and the range of his writings, but how it was that the author of "Gerontion" came to write "Triumphal March" and then Four Quartets. Thanks to the family and friends who recognized Eliot�s genius and preserved his writings from an early age, the archival record is exceptionally complete, enabling us to follow in unique detail the progress of a mind that never ceased exploring. This first volume respects Eliot�s decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909�1962 as he arranged and issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. This is followed by poems uncollected but either written for or suitable for publication, and by a new reading text of the drafts of The Waste Land. The volume concludes with the commentary on all of these poems. The second volume opens with the two books of verse of other kinds that Eliot issued, Old Possum�s Book of Practical Cats and his translation of St.John Perse�s Anabase. Different again are the verses informal, improper, or clubmanlike. Each of these sections has its own commentary. Finally, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a textual history that contains not only variants from all known drafts and the many printings but also extended passages amounting to hundreds of lines of compelling verse.

They raised critical ethical and legal questions; they provoked debates over policy, strategy, and war planning; they helped to shape American domestic politics. And they highlighted a profound division among the American people: While more than two million Americans served in Iraq and Afghanistan, the vast majority of American and their families remained untouched by and frequently barely aware of the wars conducted in their name, far from American shores, in regions about which they knew little.

In The Age of Scientific Sexism, philosopher Mari Ruti offers a sharp critique of the gender profiling tendencies of evolutionary psychology, untangling the insidious threads of various gender mythologies that have infiltratedor perhaps even definethis fauxscience. Selling stereotypes as scientific facts, evolutionary psychology continually brings retrograde models of sexuality into mainstream culture: it insists that men and women live in two completely different psychological, emotional, and sexual universes, and that they will consequently always be locked in a vicious battle of the sexes. Among these regressive arguments is the assumption that men's sexuality is urgent and indiscriminate, whereas women are "naturally" reluctant, reticent, and choosya concept constructed to justify masculine behavior, such as cheating, that women have historically found painful. On its most basic level, The Age of Scientific Sexism explores our impulse to "explain" romantic behavior through science: in the increasingly egalitarian gender landscape of our society, why are we so eager to embrace the rampant gender profiling that evolutionary psychology promotes? Perhaps these simplistic gender caricatures owe their popularity, at least in part, to our overly pragmatic society pragmatic society, which encourages us to search for easy answers to complex questions.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn881656092 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780199387991/COVER_GIF"/><p>"A balanced and readable account of the 1791 battle between St. Clair's US forces and an Indian coalition in the Ohio Valley, one of the most important and underrecognized events of its time" Provided by publisher.</p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn875741813 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780195342727/COVER_GIF"/><p></p> http://catalog.vsc.edu/web2/tramp2.exe/do_ccl_search/guest?SETTING_KEY=johnson&servers=1home&index=)&query=ocn907642006 <img src="http://content.sirsi.net/uhtbin/getenrich/9780465050918/COVER_GIF"/><p>"From one of the foremost experts on Ukraine and the former USSR, a concise, authoritative history of Ukraine. Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense battle with Russia to preserve its economic and political independence. But today's conflict is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine's existence as a sovereign nation. As awardwinning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine's past in order to understand its fraught present and likely future. Situated between Europe, Russia, and the Asian East, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that have used it as a strategic gateway between East and Westfrom the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, all have engaged in global fights for supremacy on Ukrainian soil.
