Protecting Abused and Neglected Children
Michael S. Wald, J. M. Carlsmith & P. H. Leiderman
Foreward by James Garbarino
Although over one million American children are reported each year to authorities as being abused or neglected, there has been very little empirical research regarding the best way of protecting children from future harm. This book presents the results of a study of one of the most hotly debated aspects of state intervention: whether it is better to leave abused or neglected children at home, with special services provided to the family, or to place them in foster care.
The study followed two groups of abused and neglected children over a two-year period in three California counties: one group remained at home, the other was placed in foster care. A control group of children who were no abused or neglected was also studied. Researchers examined the two groups of abused or neglected children in terms of physical well-being, academic performance, emotional health, social skills, and personal happiness during the two-year period. They also explored the "attachment" issue to determine whether foster care met the children's need for emotional security. It was hoped that the insights gained would help decision makers - legislators drafting new laws and judges or social workers deciding individual cases - make better decisions about appropriate intervention.
The picture that emerged was surprising in many respects. Most surprising, and disturbing, was the limited ability of either home placement with supporting services or foster care to significantly improve the children's well-being, except that school attendance improved with foster care. The final chapter discusses policy implications that follow from the findings.

The Interrupted Moment
A View of Virginia Woolf's Novels
Lucio P. Ruotolo
Throughout Virginia Woolf's life and fiction, interruptions arouse inventive impulses, and such disorienting moments constitute, in the author's view, a key aspect of Woolf's experimental intention. To remain open to the shock of unmediated experience, what Woolf calls its "anarchy and newness," is to recognize and celebrate the random diversity of modern life. Those of her characters who allow the chaotic intrusion of events or people to reshape expectations emerge as her most creative heroines. Those who voice distaste for interruption, and succumb to a protective impulse to close themselves off, invariably fall back into postures of self-supporting insularity.
In widening perception, the impact of discontinuity occasions a more communal view of art and society - a shift from "I" to "we." Woolf's recurring impulse to break derived sequences of art and politics reveals a growing critique of something more fundamental than either patriarchal hierarchy or what Leonard Woolf describes as "bourgeois Victorianism." In a manner of anarchism, she comes to question those presumptions that underlie the theory of governance itself. Central to all her thinking is the revelation of interruption, heralding change, and the growing expectation that society is on the verge of radical transformation.
The author studies each novel in turn, showing how the issues that motivated Woolf as a creative writer gradually developed in complexity - from The Voyage Out and its attempt to cultivate the art of doing nothing to Between the Acts and its vision of a egalitarian society where each new interruption emerges with a promise of renewal.

An Instance of Treason
$20.14
Book
This is the only complete, authoritative account of the most brilliantly successful espionage operation of the twentieth century: the notorious Communist spy ring headed by Dr. Richard Sorge, whose cover was that of senior German journalist in Tokyo during World War II.
Ozaki Hotsumi, the second-ranking member of the ring, was also a prominent journalist, a leading authority on China, and a consultant to the Konoye cabinet. Opposition to fascism led to a kind of heroic treason by m any intellectuals in the 1930's and 1940's; some of them betrayed their countries for the Soviet Union. On who did so was Ozaki, who joined Sorge and gave his life to the anti-fascist cause because he believed that his own nation's policies in China were reprehensible and that Japan's aggression would lead to military defeat and a probable domestic Communist revolution.
Although the spy ring had many successes in supplying Stalin with the highest level information from within the Japanese government, its most important accomplishment was to inform Moscow of the Japanese decision to maintain its nonaggression treaty with the Soviet Union and to strike south against the United States and Britain - thus enabling Stalin to keep the Red Army intact against Hitler in the West. The only comparable espionage coup is that of the Cambridge Communists headed by Kim Philby, with whom Ozaki had much in common.
When this book was first published in July 1964, the Soviet Union had never acknowledged the existence of Sorge. Two months later, and perhaps in response to the book's publication, Sorge was acclaimed as one of the Soviet Union's most illustrious spies and was made post humous "Hero of the Soviet Union's Ritus, the high-ranking Japanese Communist who was accused of betraying the Sorge ring to the Japanese authorities, was thought to have been killed by the Communists in China during the early 1950's. In 1980, the Chinese suddenly released him after 27 years in jail, and he returned to Japan to tell a complex and contradictory story. In an extensive Reprise prepared for this new edition, the author analyzes these developments in depth, as well as much other significant information that has come to light since the book's original publication.

The Paradise Myth in Eighteenth-Century Russia
$19.78
Book
From the reign of Peter the Great through that of Catherine the Great, visions of an earthly paradise recurred in a wide variety of Russian sources: panegyric and pastoral poetry, portrait painting, the utopian novel, allegorical fireworks and masquerades, Masonic ritual and literature, and even the winter garden. In this rich, many-faceted work, the author traces how, at a time when Russian culture was being transformed from sacred to secular, the paradise myth provided a bridge between the two.
Most Western writers of the period, influenced by the scientific and critical worldview of the Enlightenment, used the conventions of the paradise myth to idealize faraway lands and hence criticize existing reality. The author shows that in eighteenth-century Russian, however, most writers used these conventions to idealize, mythologize, and "utopianize" the Russian status quo and the Slavic past. These writings were thus closer to the literature of European Renaissance courts than to that of the contemporary Enlightenment, reflecting a "culture gap" between Russia and the West that is significantly larger than has heretofore been realized.
Instead of using utopian methods to oppose governmental opposition to promote the rights of individuals, Russian writers often used them to glorify existing authoritarian structures. The author contends that this tendency to propagandize the status quo through paradisal imagery has been a constant current in Russia from its Christianization through socialist realism, reflecting an "urge to utopia" among the populace that was frequently abused by those in power.
In analyzing the ways in which the paradise myth helped to shape eighteenth-century Russian literature and culture, the author begins with a typology of paradise, focusing on Western paradisal conventions that were to become omnipresent in Russian culture. He discusses the paradise myth in terms of the impact of Peter the Great's secularization and westernization and of two other myths that were also central to it: the rebirth or renaissance of Russia and Russia as an Edenic garden. The author examines in detail the influence of the paradise myth on the allegorical rituals and literature of Freemasonry and on the Russian utopia and "eutopia" (a hybrid of the panegyric ode and the utopia that is virtually unique to Russia). Finally, he deals with the reactions against the paradise myth during the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and its replacement by the myth of the iron age

Beyond Metaphor
The Theory of Tropes in Anthropology
Edited by James W. Fernandez
The study of tropes, or figures of speech, in particular metaphor, has become an immensely productive focus of interest in the social sciences in recent years as scholars increasingly recognize the role of rhetoric in the construction of social and cultural reality and historical continuity.
An ancient topic of interest in literature and philosophy, metaphor and the other tropes have been important in anthropology virtually since its inception as a discipline in the late nineteenth century. Building on that tradition, this collection of eight essays is a pioneering record of current thinking by anthropologists about metaphor as a theoretical problem, as a problem of the organization of behavior, and as a problem of the coherence of culture.
But the book is titled Beyond Metaphor because metaphor is only one of the figurative devices or tropes (metaphor, as a generic term, consists of various subtropes - chiefly metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony). In these essays, the authors go "beyond" metaphor to address the dynamic interrelationships of all the tropes in culture, examining as well the contemporary notion of "the play of tropes."
The contribution of anthropology, then, lies first in its insistence upon the role of culture in the formation of the metaphoric models with which various peoples reason, and second in its concern to avoid over-concentration on metaphor as the uniquely interesting trope.
Because anthropology is a discipline of considerable internal diversity, with strong links to half a dozen other fields, the essays address the problem of metaphor from a number of perspectives, and the collection as a whole embraces an important dialogue between anthropological poetics and cognitive anthropology. As is customary in anthropology - and profoundly effective in attaining insight, targetability, and significance - the authors employ cross-cultural materials in every essay.

The Living Tree
The Changing Meaning of Being Chinese Today
Edited by Tu Wei-ming
Growing out of a highly acclaimed issue of Daedalus (Spring 1991), this volume explores the emergence of a cultural space that both encompasses and transcends the ethnic, territorial, linguistic, and religious boundaries that normally define Chinese-ness. By challenging the hegemonic discourse of the political core in Beijing, this newly constructed cultural space opens up exciting possibilities for concerned intellectuals worldwide as well as peripheral Chinese communities around the globe to provide inside perspectives on the meaning of being Chinese. Eleven leading scholars of Chinese society have imaginatively articulated the ambiguities and implications of this cultural space as a historically significant phenomenon.
In the twentieth century, China experienced a level of cultural confusion it had never before known, as revolution, war, economic dislocation, and political authoritarianism took a heavy toll. One product of almost continual turmoil was an unprecedented rate of emigration. Another was the challenging of traditional Chinese culture by several Western ideologies, including Marxism. The whole concept of modernity, with all of its ambiguities, had profound effects on many aspects of the Chinese world, both in China and abroad. These essays attempt to illuminate how the events of the twentieth century in China affected the Chinese living outside China and suggest important reciprocal influences.
Among the topics discussed are the long-range historical influence of the overseas Chinese, the relationship between ordinary Chinese and their leaders, a comparison of Han and non-Han cultural identities, the meaning of being a Chinese exile, the Chinese experience of living among non-Chinese, the Asian American experience, the "evil wife" in contemporary Chinese fiction, and, in a glance backward, what it meant to be Chinese before the invasion of the West.

Secrets of the Kingdom
British Radicals from the Popish Plot to the Revolution of 1688-89
Richard L Greaves
This volume completes a trilogy that explores the history of British political and religious radicalism - in England, Scotland, Ireland, and British exile communities on the Continent - from the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 to the Revolution of 1688-89. The trilogy underscores both the continuity and the geographical range of dissident activity in all three kingdoms over nearly three decades.
Much of the present volume deals with the controversial conspiracies collectively (and misleadingly) known as the Rye House Plot. Whether these conspiracies actually existed has been disputed since the 1680's, and the problem of evaluating the evidence regarding them is complicated by the fact that both Whigs and Tories freely engaged in subornation, severely undermining the credibility of many accounts, not to mention the integrity of the judicial system. The book traces the complete history of the Rye House Plot, including the general uprising planned by Monmouth and his associates, the schemes to assassinate Charles and James, and the trials of a number of conspirators. The author concludes that, on balance, the evidence affirms the existence of conspiracies against the crown.
The author describes and analyzes several other instances of radical activity: the assassination of the Archbishop of St. Andrews, the Bothwell Bridge rebellion, the Argyll and Monmouth rebellions, and the involvement of the radicals in the events leading up to the revolution of 1688-89. Historiographically, the book is part of a major reassessment of the late Stuart period which accords greater attention to the significance and contribution of British radicals. It is now clear that radical activity continued throughout the British Isles during the reigns of Charles II and James II, and even beyond, and that Restoration Nonconformists were not uniformly quiescent and passive.
The first volume in the trilogy, Deliver Us from Evil: The Radical Underground in Britain, 1660-1663, was published in 1986 by Oxford University Press. The second volume, Enemies Under His Feet: Radicals and Nonconformists in Britain, 1664-1677, was published in 1990 by Stanford University Press.

Merlin's Disciples
Prophecy, Poetry, and Power in Renaissance England
Howard Dobin
"This book presents a powerful new argument about ambivalent attitudes toward prophecy in the Renaissance, and how the government's uneasy attitude became an important means of undoing the desired aims of the Reformation. No less central is the book's discussion of critical method, a successful attempt to synthesize many of the most interesting aspects of poststructuralism of new Historicism...In both theory and the historical realm this book seems to me to have a claim to extraordinary importance." - David Bevington, University of Chicago
Political prophecy in Britain extends back at least to the twelfth century, to Geoffrey of Monmouth's collection of Merlin's prophecies. Through the Renaissance, the secular prophetic tradition burgeoned in new native prophets and interpretations, invoked by both the crown and would-be usurpers.
The Elizabethan period's veritable explosion of prophetic activity was kindled by the religious and political upheavals of the Reformation and inflamed by the nation's anxiety concerning the Spanish threat and the uncertainty of royal succession. The prophet appeared in many forms -- contemporary doomsayer, religious fanatic, partisan propagandist, and outright fraud. But whatever its source, prophecy challenged political, religious, and social institutions. It became a dominant mode of political discourse.
Methodologically, the book allies itself with the New Historicism, where its contributions are, first, to articulate the importance of deconstruction for the New Historicism in relation to a novel set of canonical and noncanonical texts and, second, to delineate a mode of subversive discourse that eludes both political and authorial control. The author shows that prophetic texts and the interpretive dynamics that surround them are virtually textbook models of certain concerns foregrounded in deconstruction and the New Historicism. The prophetic text claims a referentiality that is endlessly deferred; when that reference is politically invested, the powers that be shift responsibility from the text to its interpreters -- ofter, in this period, leading to torture and even execution.
Drawing on a wide range of theoretical influences, from Derrida to Weber and Geertz, the author knits together historical evidence and critical theory to show how prophecy functions in a great variety of texts, from little-known works like The Birth of Merlin to The Faerie Queene and Shakespeare's history plays. An Afterword traces how political prophecy emerges as a potent public weapon in the civil-war period -- then is revived and transformed in the literary realm, in the disempowered and private vision of Milton.

The Closing of the Public Domain
Disposal and Reservation Policies, 1900-1950
E. Lousie Peffer
On June 17, 1902, the 56th Congress of the United States passed the Reclamation--or Newlands-Act, which allocated the proceeds of future sales of public lands to the irrigation of the arid West. Federally sponsored reclamation was the last of the great developmental projects of the country to be subsidized initially by proceeds from the public domain. In its major aspect, the act represented a continuation of an established pattern of policy. In another respect, however, it gave indication of a new trend in policy for the future.
In 1900 there were still around 560 million acres open to entry and settlement under the general land laws of the United States, within the continental limits of the country exclusive of Alaska. This was more than a fourth of the land area of the whole country. It was difficult, even impossible, to accept the idea that so vast an area could not long be expected to furnish homes. Indeed, the Reclamation Act was intended to push far into the future the time when consideration of such an eventuality would be necessary. By the most optimistic estimates, reclamation, chiefly by irrigation, would in time bring 100 million acres into cultivation-and the tendency was to accept the most optimistic figure. Furthermore, the non-irrigable land was not worthless; some of it was valuable for forests, some for minerals, some as range. Consequently it was hardly likely that the country could be brought to believe that the frontier of opportunity afforded by the public domain was closed, as Frederick Jackson Turner, in his famous hypothesis advanced in 1893, had suggested the geographical frontier to be; and that a new policy was dictated. There was, however, a small but dynamic body of opinion which cited, as evidence of the need for change, the very arguments advanced against a change of policy.
The public land policy of the United States has been described as having fallen into three phases: sale, development, and reservation. The Reclamation Act bridged the three, using as expedients in aid of further development the old principle of sale and the new principle of reservation. The resort to the reservation principle in the Reclamation Act did not constitute Congressional acceptance of the idea it represented. It did, however, point the direction in which public land policy was to travel in the twentieth century.
In its main outline, the story of the public domain in the twentieth century is one of a tug of war between the forces advocating the continuation of the process of settlement and development, and the growing number of those maintaining that the equity of the public in the valuable resources which remained should not be dissipated. It is a struggle which continues actively today in spite of the apparent victory achieved by the reservationists in the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act in 1934. This act, as amended, virtually closed both the public domain and one of the most significant and colorful epochs of American history.
This study does not purport to be a history of the public domain in the twentieth century. Nor can it present a full coverage of the phase of public domain history implied by the title; for the latter period, much of the material necessary to round out the account is not yet open to public scrutiny. It is proposed to relate, on the basis of the sources which are available, the steps by which the concept of the public domain has veered from one of land held in escrow pending transfer of title, toward one of reservations held in perpetuity in the interest of the collective owners, the people of the United States.

The Poetics of Greek Tragedy
$16.87
Book
The Poetics of Greek Tragedy
By Malcolm Heath
This ambitious book attempts a sweeping redefinition of Greek tragedy in terms of the pragmatics of performance. The author presents what he calls an “emotive-hedonist” theory, arguing that the main point of tragedy was not to offer moral or metaphysical instruction (or, indeed, any instruction at all), but “to give its audience aesthetic pleasure through the excitation of an intense emotional response.” This response was most typically in the range of terror, anxiety, fear, and pity, but it ranged more widely, embracing love and joy.
The theory has some particularly arresting implications for the ways we should conceive the central characters in tragedy. Rather than think of a “hero,” the author argues, we should think of “focal figures,” with whose feelings the audience is meant to identify, and we should recognize that focus is mobile and can shift (for example, from Antigone to Creon) in the course of a play.
Emphasizing that a play must be understood in terms of performance, the author also discusses the mode and textual function of tragedy – the way in which dramatic narrative is organized as a text that is coherent and apt to its purposes. He shows how a play as narrative depends on a series of narrated events that must satisfy, or give the appearance of satisfying, the requirements of continuity and closure; satisfying these two requirements is all that is needed to give a play unity. The concluding chapter is a close reading of Sophocles’ Ajax in the light of the author’s theory of tragedy.
At the time of publication, Malcolm Health was a Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford University.

CELL BIOLOGY
A Current Summary 1965
John Paul
The past decade may well have been the most dramatic period in the history of biological science. The secrets of the genetic code have been revealed, the complex structure of living molecules has been greatly elucidated, and as a result the central unifying hypothesis of the cell theory has taken on new significance for and impact on biology.
This book provides a clear and concise summary of the current state of knowledge of cell biology, and by concentrating on the molecular biology of heredity and its manifestations in cell differentiation, the author has centered attention on the most fascinating features of present-day biology.
Topics covered are the nature of cells, the molecular basis of cell structure, the physiochemical basis of cellular activity, the origin and evolution of cells. An effort has been made to give enough of the factual background on important issues to enable the reader to evaluate the status of each problem introduced.
The bibliography is intended, in the author's words, "to serve as a bridge between this book and the very extensive scientific literature which every serious student will wish to explore."

State and Society in Early Medieval China
Edited by Albert E. Dien
Extending roughly from the final collapse of the Han Dynasty in A.D. 220 to the establishment of the T'ang Dynasty in 618, the Six Dynasties period in China is commonly compared to the "Dark Ages" of European history.
The political history of the period is a dismal record of disunity, intrigue, strife, and alien encroachments, seeming to amount to little more than a confusing series of dynastic names. Given such an array of fragile ands short-lived dynasties, it is natural to attempt to summarize the period, but the inadequate state of our knowledge (the historical record is sparse, fragmentary, and very difficult to interpret) makes such an attempt at best provisional.
The twelve essays in this volume are therefore to be viewed as attempts to further our knowledge of the period and to test what few generalizations we do have. The authors address a wide range of problems, including the composition of the ruling elites, the evolution of eminent families, and the nature of the state and its administration. For example, previous scholarship has portrayed the period as one dominated by powerful aristocratic clans; a revisionist view presented here argues that the leading families were neither powerful, nor aristocratic, nor clans. In almost every case the topics of the individual papers are treated here for the first time in English
The period of the Six Dynasties suggests fragmentation and disorder, and yet it is now generally recognized that the so-called fragmentation simply meant that the level of cohesion had shifted from a national to a regional level. To a large extent, what was involved were changes in the ways in which various social and political groups related to one another. The focus of this volume, then, is to explore the interfaces within Six Dynasties social and political organizations and to trace the changes in the these complex and often puzzling relationships. The editor suggests that in these developments are to be found the roots of T'ang greatness.
The contributors are William Crowell, Albert E. Dien, Patricia Ebrey, Dennis Grafflin, Jennifer Holmgren, Whalen Lai, Carl Leban, Mao Hankuang, Richard Mather, Robert M. Somers, and Tang Changru.

Minority Problems in Southeast Asia

MINORITY PROBLEMS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
By Virginia Thompson and Richard Adloff
Shifts of power in Southeast Asia during the past decade (1945-1955) from colonial to national groups have brought minority problems of the area into a new and important focus. “Everywhere in Southeast Asia,” reported the authors of, Minority Problems in Southeast Asia, “the new nationalist governments have teed to ignore the problems of the ethnic minorities once the foreign imperial power has been eliminated. Their concern for such minorities is aroused only when they feel that outside elements may be using minority grievances as an excuse to re-establish foreign rule.” Strategically placed minorities in Thailand, Burma, Indochina, Indonesia, and Malaya may play potentially disruptive, if not subversive, roles in the future.
Virginia Thompson and Richard Adloff examine these ethnic and alien groups for their economic stake, political activities, history, and education, and in certain cases analyze their citizenship status. This is the first study of the Indian minority and of the indigenous minorities such as the Eurasians, the Malays of Thailand, the Thai of Indochina, the Arakanese, and the Ambonese. The Chinese minority – already exhaustively treated in other studies – is presented here chiefly as a regional problem, with special reference to their current activities.
A final chapter relates to possible future developments, and warns that those in power must offer minorities enough of a stake in the country to induce them to merge with the majority people in a common nationality, since they are now deeply rooted in Southeast Asia.
This book is issued under the auspices of the Institute of Pacific Relations.

Socialists of Rural Andalusia Unacknowledged Revolutionaries of The Second Republic
$18.16
Book
A new perspective on the Spanish Second Republic and Civil War emerges from this study of the Socialists of a western Andalusian town. Although Andalusian Socialists contributed substantially to the radicalization of the Spanish countryside, they have been largely ignored by scholars, who have concentrated instead on the activities of the anarchists.
This book studies the Socialists of one particular pueblo, examining their considerable accomplishments in the Second Republic, their repression in and after the Civil War, and their place in postwar Spanish historical memory. It views the radicalization of Socialists as stemming, not primarily from frustration over their failure to bring about land reform, which is the usual interpretation, but just as much from their success in revolutionizing labor relations.
As ethnography, this study is experimental, focusing on a group of people and what happened to them through time rather than on a community or place. Its method may be characterized as serial ethnography, drawing upon oral history, family history, newspapers, and analysis of town archives to reconstruct the pueblo Socialists' experience of the Second Republic and the Franco dictatorship. It interprets pueblo experience in terms of Andalusian concepts of autonomy, hope, kinship, patronage, and politics.
Throughout, the author relates the conflict and change experienced in one pueblo to the experience of other locales similarly situated in the broader dynamic of Spanish national politics. The book includes 18 illustrations and 7 maps.

Yosemite Trails and Tales
By Katherine Ames Taylor
Readers familiar with the earlier book on Yosemite by Katherine Ames Taylor, will be gratified by the inclusion in her latest book on that national park of most of the material that made delightful reading several years ago. Additional information has been added to bring the book up to date and to provide practical guidance for the visitor.
Unlike official guidebooks to our national parks, Yosemite Trails and Tales fuses a personal reaction to Yosemite's scenic beauties and its legends and characters with descriptions of the area's principal auto tours, hiking trails, and trips by horseback. Without pretending to be a detailed guide to Yosemite, this book is designed to recapture some of the initial wonder that overcame one of the first discoverers as he looked down from a lofty crag, caught the majestic panorama unfolding from the cliff on which he stood and named it "Inspiration Point? The book is an invitation to personal experience, personal discovery of the park's wonders.
Photographs by Ansel Adams lend an added charm to the text. The area map and the valley poor map, reproduced by permission of the National Park Service, will be of help to driver, rider, or hiker in the discovery of Yosemite's rare treasures.

Bodies in Pieces
Fantastic Narrative and the Poetics of the Fragment
DEBORAH A. HARTER
Bodies in Pieces explores the insistent presence of the fragmented body in fantastic narrative of the nineteenth century - its characteristic beating heart and severed hands, its breasts and feet and teeth and lost meshes of hair. In the process it uncovers a poetics of the fragment that both fundamentally defines this genre and links it to its contemporary and "other," the realist novel.
Reading texts from Hoffmann to Maupassant, from Balzac and Poe to Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, the author reflects on the body's production through both textual and subjective shattering, on its violation of material and discursive categories, and on its depiction of the mutilated feminine in terms of a transparently male agony. She asks how this body's pieces function to determine fantastic discourse, from what violence they are produced, to whom they belong. And she suggests that, in contradistinction to the structured and structuring unities of the realist novel, the fragmented body in fantastic narrative represents this genre's underlying fascination with all that is fragmentary and incomplete.
But this study discovers in this narrative form more than just a poetics of the fragment.
It discovers as well that just as the realist novel is fraught with parts that finally give the lie to its desperate efforts at achieving unity - constructing the human body itself in ways that reveal its careful patchwork of pieces - so the fragment in fantastic narrative betrays a certain anguished gesture toward its own, different vision of wholeness.
Adding to her discussion the novels of Dickens, Eliot, and Flaubert, the author proposes that the differing strategies of these two genres--the one pressing toward, the other away from totalization - are a complementary set of terms in a single imaginative system. In this system, fantastic narrative becomes for the realist novel far less an opposing than a reflective other, while realist discourse is discovered in all its fragmented, "fantastic" nature.

ON THE GAME OF POLITICS IN FRANCE
Nathan Leites
with a Foreword by D. W. Brogan
Contemporary French politics has long evoked a variety of emotions, not only abroad but in France itself - astonishment, exasperation, amusement, ennui, sadness, contempt, to name but a few. It is the aim of this witty and spirited book to explain in detail the intricate, ritualized "rules of the game" that govern French parliamentary strategy and tactics.
The shirking of responsibility, the conscious planning for the eventual failure of announced policy, the avoidance of action until complete disaster threatens, these are all major rules of the game, and the author has shown how these and other rules operated from 1951 through the breakdown of the Fourth Republic in the spring of 1958. An Epilogue analyzes the events of May and June, 1958, in the light of the rules.
Perhaps the most important of the rules is the very opposite of that which President Truman laid down for himself, "the buck stops here." In the French system, the buck never stopped anywhere. Within the limits of this deliberate irresponsibility, the politicians could display animosity, ambition, rancor, revenge, and hate. But the game was played by players who preferred not to play in a way that would make a return match difficult.
As Mr. Brogan remarks, “The deputies had to meet in the corridors, the restaurants, the bars, the committees as well, or in the chamber or round the table of the Council of Ministers. So there grew out a system of quite savage but not quite deadly dueling. The reader can leave with amusement or disgust, how it was possible to make the most profuse professions of support hurtful, even how to wound by applauding. For the student of that form of behavior attributed by men to women – that is, for the student of cattiness – this book is a treasure house.”
It is conceded that many of these patterns of behavior are also found outside France, but it is also shown that even when French political practice corresponds to the universal game of politics, certain French peculiarities give a unique flavor to standard political practice.
At the time of publication, Mr. Leites was a Visiting Lecturer at Yale University and a staff member of The RAND Corporation. He is the author of several books, including, The House Without Windows: France Selects a President.

Transmemberment of Song
$19.36
Book
"The first criticism I've read of Crane that describes the poetry I know and love." -- Harold Bloom, Yale University
Drawing on the techniques of rhetorical and post-structuralist theory, this extended reading of Hart Crane's major poetry goes beyond apparent thematic concerns to read instead of the narrative generated by Crane's rhetorical or figural counterplot -- the narrative of his struggle to achieve a transformation, or, to use his own word, a "transmemberment," of the language of modern poetry itself.
The author argues that Crane's distinctively difficult rhetoric embodies a mode of cognition through which we can read Crane's way of understanding and experiencing the relation between word and world. In careful unfoldings of Crane's tropological strategies, this book explores Crane's narratives as displaced or allegorical interpretations of the rhetorical processes through which not only the poem but the subjectivity of the poet is constituted.
The interplay of Crane's literary self-consciousness and his distinctive figural structures is outlined in the first chapter, beginning with some early poems and culminating in a reading of "Legend." Subsequent chapters examine Crane's three major sequences: "For the Marriage of Faustus and Helen," "Voyages," and The Bridge. Moving between Crane's rhetorical figures in relation to the narratives that he evolves from them as thematic analogues or allegories, the author tells the story of Crane's exacting meditation on the nature and authenticity of his poetic language, revealing how the violence and extravagance of Crane's tropology becomes the means for seeking a new literary language within and American Poetic tradition replete with new beginnings.

Wordsworth The Sense of History
Alan Liu
"An original and powerful book, a major reinterpretation of Wordsworth that we are likely to be learning from for years to come."
-- Peter Manning, University of Southern California
The imaginative power of Wordsworth's poetry stems from a denial of history so strong and precise that denial itself -- the determined absence of history -- must be studied as positive fact. The author argues this thesis with the aid of substantial methodological innovations allowing the best of formalist, deconstructive, and New Historicist reading strategies to be synthesized and informed by a wealth of historical matter. Drawing upon recent advances in the history and theory of the French Revolution, art history, economic history, family history, and the social history of the Lake District, he shows that history -- however absent it seems to be -- influences literature deeply at the level of form. In particular, the most telling register of historical and perception in Wordsworth's poetry is generic transformation. Studying the works of the early and middle years intensively, and the later works suggestively, the author argues that Wordsworth's overall shift from description to narrative, and from narrative to lyric, is a mimetic denial of contemporary cultural history. By the time "imagination" invest lyric imagery, it has learned to capture history within an empire of self that is no less than a surrogate history, a facsimile ideology.
Part One of the book introduces the subject by rereading the Simplon Pass episode in The Prelude as a denial of Napoleon's Alpine crossing of 1800. It then formulates a methodology of historical reading by witnessing in the modern and postmodern notion of "context" a developing collaboration between formalist and materialist perspectives. The "matter" of history, the author argues, is collectively structured, witnessed, and uttered absence: and the reading of history is therefore a discrimination of forms of absence. When a city or a cottage is effaced, there is left only the nothing that is the constitutive basis of conventions of difference -- of hate, prejudicial discrimination, "nation," "culture," and, as one of the most discriminating of cultural discriminations, the differential forms of art.
Part Two draws upon art history, political history, contemporary journalism, and narrative theory to study the formal collision between Wordsworth's early picturesque and the predominantly narrative mode of French Revolutionary violence. Out of this collision, "time" arose as the massive denial of history, giving the poet his first authority separate from the "People." In chapters entitled "The Tragedy of the Family," "The Economy of Lyric," and " A Transformed Revolution, " Part Three traces the development of authority into the "originality" of the poet's mature ideology of autobiography. Part Four concludes the work by pointing ahead in Wordsworth's corpus toward "The Idea of the Memorial Tour" and the self-critical stance of a poet whose quintessential act was to "collect" himself. The book ends with a brief epilogue on history and critical self-consciousness.

French West Africa
$29.20
Book
This is a reproduction edition from the original 1958 publication on French West Africa.
There have been a great many books on Africa since the ware but astonishingly few in English that deal with the vast and important tropical areas under French administration. As to the most extensive of these – French West Africa – the lack is particularly striking, contrasting as it does with the larger number of works concerning adjacent Nigeria and Ghana. The few studies of French West Africa produced thus far by British and American writers have been mostly in specialized periodicals, and no work on the Federation as a whole has been available to the English-reading public.
The authors have provided a general and reliable survey of the main political, economic, social and cultural developments in the whole territory of French West Africa, supplemented by an analysis which takes into account both official and non-official French and African viewpoints. Some historical background is provided – especially where it is helpful to the understanding of current developments – but the book’ emphasis is upon the rapid evolution of French West Africa, in many fields, since the end of the Second World War. While most welcome as a reference work for students, the book will also be read more widely for the light it casts on the role that the French West African group of territories may play in the future ‘Eurafrica.’

EDUCATION AND ANTHROPOLOGY
Edited by GEORGE D. SPINDLER
Papers from participants in the June 9-14, 1954 Conference sponsored by the School of Education and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Stanford University and the American Anthropological Association.
The opinions, concepts, and hypotheses expressed and developed in Education and Anthropology represent a new fusion between two fields of study. Each is concerned with a special aspect of the development of man; in the main, each has hitherto approached its goals independently of the other. In the conference from which this book stems, twenty-two outstanding anthropologists and educators met to pool their thinking for mutual benefit in the two fields.
Their intent was to explore ways in which understanding of social pressures and cultural patterns can help educators to understand the role of education in the cultural process and to function effectively in a society where values, beliefs, and attitudes are changing rapidly.
The topics discussed include the history of relations between education and anthropology; the school in the community context; ways in which educational goals are defeated by conflicts between cultural ideals and action; different types of communication and teacher-student relations; ways of developing intercultural understanding through education; differences between educational needs and cultural forces in the childhood and adolescent years; the relationships between anthropological and educational theory and philosophy; methods for the study of school systems in various social environments; and the dilemma of the educator in the South, where segregation has strong social and political support but has been declared unconstitutional by Supreme Court decision. Papers on each topic, written by authorities in the respective fields, were distributed before the conference as the basis for interchange of ideas. The book includes both the papers and transcripts of the ensuing discussions, edited by Dr. Spindler, together with an overview summary by Margaret Mead, one of America's leading anthropologists with an intense and long-term interest in education.
Research and application already accomplished are reviewed incidentally to critical analysis of projected developments of education and anthropology. Specialists in education evaluate, modify, and reformulate the approaches of the anthropologists in the light of their professional experience; anthropologists apply their concepts, methods, data, and point of view to the educative process in its broadest sense.
The result of such interdisciplinary collaboration is a fully co-operative product, filled with new concepts, hypotheses, and approaches. In the discussion of the effects of racial desegregation in Southern schools, practical suggestions show what kinds of data and ideas the anthropologists could organize to present to educators faced with the task of implementing the Supreme Court decision-a "field problem" of considerable importance.

Magic: A Sociological Study
Hutton Webster
Published in 1948
To the layman magic is a black art surrounded by an aura of romance and mystery. To sociologist Hutton Webster magic, black and white, is a pseudo science that has discouraged intellectual activity among primitive cultures around the world.
The unknown, the unexplainable have always presented a challenge to mankind. That’s where magic comes into the picture, and to the primitive mind hocus-pocus seems a very logical and satisfactory way of meeting that challenge. Even today the dependence on magic continues as an integral part of primitive life.
Here, Hutton Webster presents a carefully prepared survey of magic, an excellent text or reference for sociological study. He describes the various forms of magic; e tells how magicians are made and how they operate. Above all Dr. Webster emphasizes the importance of doing away with the practice, for it substitutes unreal for real achievement and generally delays the progress of civilization.
In compiling his material the author has used primary sources exclusively; there is no secondhand material in the book. Particularly valuable to the student are the extensive notes incorporated in the volume.
Another important sociological study by Hutton Webster is, Taboo.

The International City of Tangier
$20.35
Book
This is a reproduction edition of the 1931 publication of this work.
THE World War, which served as a last resource to cut the Gordian knot of tangled international relations, solved many of the difficult problems of diplomacy. The settlement itself, however, raised others of a different character and equally difficult of solution.
The map of Europe redrawn to satisfy the needs of a burgeoning nationalism raised almost impossible situations to torment the well-meaning makers of a new world. Justice rarely follows as a corollary of force, and statesmen learned to their dismay that history may easily lend itself to opposite theses. A league of nations was wisely set up, a league handicapped necessarily by a heritage of difficult problems with which only an impartial and well-knit organization could hope to deal.
Among the most difficult of these problems was that of international administration. The territories taken from Turkey and Germany had to be dealt with in a spirit different from that of conquests of the past. Minorities had to be protected, international rivers had to be kept free from local control, and certain areas like the Saar Basin and Danzig could only be administered by some sort of neutral agency. These problems were attacked and many have already been settled. But the ultimate success of international administration can be determined only after a long and fair trial. Yet the measurement of success or failure is after all largely relative and can be best approximated by a comparison of somewhat similar situations. With this in mind it should be of value in considering the problem of international administration to study experiments which have already been made.
A number of examples immediately come to the mind of the investigator, especially public international unions, such as the postal and telegraph unions, the International Institute of Agriculture, the Pan-American Union, the Danube River Commission, and others of similar character. But of a decidedly more political nature and therefore furnishing much more difficult problems are the international administrative areas of Shanghai and Tangier. Here we find problems of an international character which by their very nature have induced systems of international control. Each area has presented its problems for a considerable period of time and neither set of solutions is yet entirely satisfactory.
It has been the purpose of this study to consider the entire problem presented by Tangier, perhaps the oldest and most difficult problem of international administration. It is evident at the outset that such a problem can be considered properly only after a careful investigation into its historical background. For that reason an effort has been made to explore the situation first from the standpoints of geography, history, and diplomacy. With this as a foundation it has been possible to study the gradual development of the international control and to picture its present functioning.
To obtain the proper perspective the writer thought it necessary to examine as far as possible all the material which has hitherto appeared on the subject in the three countries most concerned - France, Spain, and Great Britain. Coincident with this examination the writer discussed the question with various officials of these governments to obtain a personal impression of the present attitude. Finally, he spent a considerable time upon the spot in order to estimate fairly the problem and to form a more accurate appreciation of success in its solution.

FACTS TO A CANDID WORLD
America’s Overseas Information Program
Oren Stephens
Published in 1955. Essential to the security and well-being of a nation is the good opinion of other nations.
The molding of international public opinion by propaganda is a vital function of government and one that should be understood by every citizen whom government serves. In, Facts to a Candid World, Oren Stephens, who has broad theoretical background and working experience in journalism and public relations, discusses propaganda - what it is, why it is important, and how t o make it internationally effective.
As the author points out: "As public opinion is ultimately decisive within a state or empire, so is it ultimately decisive in the international arena."
The first part of the book describes the power and nature of public opinion. The second part discusses America's overseas program, showing its weaknesses and strengths. Beginning with the Creel Committee, Stephens describes the work of the Office of War Information, the Voice of America, the International Information Administration, the United States Information Agency, and other official agencies.
A pioneer study in the field of psychological warfare, Facts to a Candid World, is an analysis of the nature of propaganda, a credo for the specialist, and an explanation for the citizen.

Britain's Scientific and Technological Manpower
$24.40
Book
The United Kingdom is the principal ally of the United States in world affairs. Her political effectiveness, military potential and economic welfare – all of direct concern to this country – are now largely dependent on her technological competence. This report presents a general review of Britain’s scientific and engineering manpower – its postwar strengths and deficiencies, the present supply, the expected future demand, and the steps being taken or planned to meet this demand, including data from the latest manpower survey of 1959, and 1962 and 1966 projections of need.
The British see the challenge of the manpower problem as a question not merely of success but of survival. In the words of an anonymous British expert, “the price of survival is to change our culture.”
Great Britain has only one-third as many pure scientists as the United States in absolute numbers, but approximately the same proportion on a population basis. But she is much less well supplied with engineers and highly qualified technologists. As Britain’s population is not growing – the population of the United States has doubled in the last fifty years – a many-faceted program has been launched for making a technical education available to a larger proportion of her young people.
One of the most valuable features of this stud is a penetrating account of the British educational system and of some of the social and economic factors affecting the manpower situation. Recent developments in the British educational system will be of special interest to those concerned with the problems of American education.
Another striking contrast is in the relation of fundamental and applied research in the two nations: Great Britain employs twice as many scientists in education as we do, and only a third as many in industry as we do. While the British Government must therefore concern itself with promoting applied research and strengthening the ties between industry and science by supporting industrial research associations, our government, through the National Science Foundation, puts primary emphasis on encouraging fundamental science in the colleges and universities.
This study, sponsored by the President’s Committee on Scientists and Engineers, constitutes a model fro periodic assessment of the free world’s needs and resources.
