Grounded
The Case for Abolishing the United States Air Force
Robert M. Farley
The United States needs airpower, but does it need an air force? In Grounded, Robert M. Farley persuasively argues that America should end the independence of the United States Air Force (USAF) and divide its assets and missions between the Army and the Navy. In the wake of World War I, advocates of the Air Force argued that an organizationally independent air force would render other military branches obsolete. These boosters promised clean, easy wars: airpower would destroy cities beyond the reach of the armies and would sink navies before they could reach the coast. However, as Farley demonstrates, independent air forces failed to deliver on these promises in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the first Gulf War, the Kosovo conflict, and the War on Terror. They have also had perverse effects on foreign and security policy, as politicians have been tempted by visions of devastating airpower to initiate otherwise ill-considered conflicts. The existence of the USAF also sparks turf wars with the Navy and the Army, leading to redundant expenditures, nonsensical restrictions on equipment use, and bad tactical decisions. Farley does not challenge the idea that aircraft represent a critical component of Americas defenses; nor does he dispute thatespecially now, with the introduction of unmanned aerial vehiclesairpower is necessary to modern warfare. Rather, he demonstrates that the efficient and wise use of airpower does not require the USAF as presently constituted. An intriguing scholarly polemic, Grounded employs a wide variety of primary and secondary source materials to build its case that the United States should now correct its 1947 mistake of having created an independent air force. Robert M. Farley is an assistant professor at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky.

So Much to Lose
John F. Kennedy and American Policy in Laos
William J. Rust
Before U.S. combat units were deployed to Vietnam, presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy strove to defeat a communist-led insurgency in Laos. This impoverished, landlocked Southeast Asian kingdom was geopolitically significant because it bordered more powerful communist and anticommunist nations. The Ho Chi Minh Trail, which traversed the country, provided a critical route for North Vietnamese infiltration into South Vietnam. In So Much to Lose: John F. Kennedy and American Policy in Laos, William J. Rust continues his definitive examination of U.S.-Lao relations during the Cold War, providing an extensive analysis of their impact on U.S. policy decisions in Vietnam. He discusses the diplomacy, intelligence operations, and military actions that led to the Declaration on the Neutrality of Laos, signed in Geneva in 1962, which met President John F. Kennedys immediate goal of preventing a communist victory in the country without committing American combat troops. Rust also examines the rapid breakdown of these accords, the U.S. administrations response to their collapse, and the consequences of that response. At the time of Kennedys assassination in 1963, U.S. policy in Laos was confused and contradictory, and Lyndon B. Johnson inherited not only an incoherent strategy, but also military plans for taking the war to North Vietnam. By assessing the complex political landscape of Laos within the larger context of the Cold War, this book offers fresh insights into American foreign policy decisions that still resonate today. William J. Rust, a former journalist and communications consultant, is the author of Kennedy in Vietnam: American Vietnam Policy, 19601963 and Before the Quagmire: American Intervention in Laos, 19541961. He lives in East Otis, Massachusetts.

He lays down the panorama of U.S.-influenced events very well, and so illuminates Kennedys meanderings on Laos policy in a way that goes beyond the 1962 Geneva agreements to show the re-ignition of the Laotian war the following year.John Prados, author of Vietnam: The History of an Unwinnable War, 19451975

Alvin York
A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne
Douglas V. Mastriano
Alvin C. York (18871964)devout Christian, conscientious objector, and reluctant hero of World War Iis one of Americas most famous and celebrated soldiers. Known to generations of audiences through Gary Coopers Academy Awardwinning portrayal in the 1941 film Sergeant York, York is credited with the capture of 132 German soldiers on October 8, 1918, in the Meuse-Argonne region of France, a deed for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. At wars end, the media glorified Yorks bravery, but some members of the German military and a soldier from his own unit cast aspersions on his wartime heroics. Historians continue to debate whether York has received more recognition than he deserves. A fierce disagreement about the location of the battle in the Argonne forest has further complicated the soldiers legacy. In Alvin York, the first full-length biography of the hero in decades, Douglas V. Mastriano separates fact from myth. He meticulously examines Yorks youth in the hills of east Tennessee, his service in the Great War, and his return to a quiet civilian life dedicated to charity. By reviewing artifacts recovered from the battlefield with military terrain analysis, forensic study, and research in both German and American archives, Mastriano reconstructs the events of October 8 and corroborates the recorded accounts. Hitting shelves at the start of the World War I centennial year, Alvin York promises to be a major contribution to twentieth-century military history. Douglas V. Mastriano is a colonel in the U.S. Army. He lives in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania.

Kentucky Marine
Major General Logan Feland and the Making of the Modern USMC
David J. Bettez
A native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, Major General Logan Feland (1869 1936) played a major role in the development of the modern Marine Corps. Highly decorated for his heroic actions during the battle of Belleau Wood in World War I, Feland led the hunt for rebel leader Augusto Csar Sandino during the Nicaraguan revolution from 1927 to 1929an operation that helped to establish the Marines reputation in guerrilla warfare and searchand-capture missions. Yet, despite rising to become one of the USMCs most highly ranked and regarded officers, Feland has been largely ignored in the historical record. In Kentucky Marine, David J. Bettez uncovers the forgotten story of this influential soldier of the seas. During Felands tenure as an officer, the Corps expanded exponentially in power and prestige. Not only did his command in Nicaragua set the stage for similar twenty-first-century operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Feland was one of the first instructors in the USMCs Advanced Base Force, which served as the forerunner of the amphibious assault force mission the Marines adopted in World War II. Kentucky Marine also illuminates Felands private life, including his marriage to successful singer and socialite Katherine Cordner Feland, and details his disappointment at being twice passed over for the position of Commandant. Drawing from personal letters, contemporary news articles, official communications of the Marine Corps, and confidential correspondence, this long-overdue biography fills a significant gap in twentieth-century American military history. David J. Bettez served as director of the Office of International Affairs at the University of Kentucky. He lives in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Defend and Befriend

The U.S. Marine Corps and Combined Action Platoons in Vietnam
John Southard
After the military interventions in Iraq in 1992 and Yugoslavia in 1998, many American strategists believed that airpower and remote technology were the future of U.S. military action. But Americas most recent wars in the Middle East have reinforced the importance of counterinsurgency, with its imperative to win hearts and minds on the ground in foreign lands. In both Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military has studied and experimented with the combined action platoon (CAP) concept used from 1965 to 1971 by the Marine Corps in Vietnam. Consisting of twelve Marines, a medic, and dozens of inexperienced local militiamen, the American contingent of CAPs lived in South Vietnamese villages where they provided twenty-four-hour security and daily medical support for civilians, and fostered social interaction through civic action projects, such as building schools, offices, and wells. Defend and Befriend is the first comprehensive study of the evolution of these platoons, emphasizing how and why the U.S. Marine Corps attempted to overcome the inherent military, social, and cultural obstacles in Vietnam. Basing his analysis on Marine records and numerous interviews with CAP veterans, author John Southard illustrates how thousands of soldiers tasked with counterinsurgency duties came to perceive the Vietnamese people and their mission. This unique study counters prevailing stereotypes and provides a new perspective on the American infantryman in the Vietnam War. Illuminating the fear felt by many Americans as they served among groups of understandably suspicious civilians, Defend and Befriend offers important insights into the future development of counterinsurgency doctrine. John Southard is a visiting lecturer in the Department of History at Georgia State University. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Hitchcocks Partner in Suspense

The Life of Screenwriter Charles Bennett
Charles Bennett
Edited by John Charles Bennett With a career that spanned the history of cinema, from the silent era to the 1990s, British screenwriter Charles Bennett (18991995) led an extraordinary life. His experiences as an actor, director, playwright, film and television writer, and novelist in both England and Hollywood left him with many amusing anecdotes, opinions about his craft, and impressions of the famous people he knew. Bennett was a decorated World War I hero, an eminent Shakespearean actor, and an Allied spy and propagandist during World War II, but he is best remembered for his acclaimed collaborations with directors Sir Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B. DeMille. A fruitful partnership began after Hitchcock adapted Bennetts play Blackmail (1929) as the first British sound film, and the pair would eventually produce six thrillers together, including The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) and The 39 Steps (1935). In this witty and intriguing book, Bennett discusses how their collaboration led to the emergence of such famous motifs as the wrong man accused plot device and the MacGuffin. He also takes readers behind the scenes with the Master of Suspense, offering his thoughts on the directors work, sense of humor, and personal life. Featuring an introduction and additional biographical material from Bennetts son, editor John Charles Bennett, Hitchcocks Partner in Suspense is a richly detailed narrative of a remarkable figure in film history. Charles Bennett (18991995) was an actor, playwright, screenwriter, and director. In addition to his films with Hitchcock, Bennetts numerous screenwriting credits include Forever and a Day (1943), The Story of Dr. Wassell (1944), and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961).

Pola Negri
Hollywoods First Femme Fatale
Mariusz Kotowski
Pola Negri (18971987) rose from an impoverished childhood in Warsaw, Poland, to become one of early Hollywoods greatest stars. After tuberculosis ended her career as a ballerina in 1912, she turned to acting and worked under legendary directors Max Reinhardt and Ernst Lubitsch in Germany.

River of Hope
Black Politics and the Memphis Freedom Movement, 18651954
Elizabeth Gritter
One of the largest southern cities and a hub for the cotton industry, Memphis, Tennessee, was at the forefront of black political empowerment during the Jim Crow era. Compared to other cities in the South, Memphis had an unusually large number of African American voters. Black Memphians sought reform at the ballot box, formed clubs, ran for office, and engaged in voter registration and education activities from the end of the Civil War through the Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954. In River of Hope, Elizabeth Gritter examines how and why black Memphians mobilized politically in the period between Reconstruction and the beginning of the mass-based civil rights movement. Gritter illuminates, in particular, the efforts and influence of Robert R. Church Jr., an affluent Republican and founder of the Lincoln League, and the notorious Memphis political boss Edward H. Crump. Using these two men as lenses through which to view African American political engagement, this volume explores how black voters and their leaders both worked with and opposed the white political machine at the ballot box. This groundbreaking book challenges persisting notions of a Solid South of white Democratic control by arguing that the small but significant number of black southerners who retained the right to vote had more influence than scholars have heretofore assumed. Gritters nuanced study presents a fascinating view of the complex nature of political power during the Jim Crow era and provides fresh insight into the efforts of the individuals who laid the foundation for civil rights victories in the 1950s and 60s. Elizabeth Gritter is assistant professor of history at Indiana University Southeast. She lives in Louisville, Kentucky.

Selma to Saigon
The Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War
Daniel S. Lucks
The civil rights and antiVietnam War movements were two of the greatest protests of twentieth-century America. The dramatic escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam in 1965 took precedence over civil rights legislation, which had dominated White House and congressional attention during the first half of the decade. The two issues became intertwined on January 6, 1966, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) became the first civil rights organization to formally oppose the war, protesting the injustice of drafting African Americans to fight for the freedom of the South Vietnamese people when they were still denied basic freedoms at home. Selma to Saigon explores the impact of the Vietnam War on the national civil rights movement. Before the war gained widespread attention, the New Left, SNCC, and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) worked together to create a biracial alliance with the potential to make significant political and social gains in Washington. Contention over the war, however, exacerbated preexisting generational and ideological tensions that undermined the coalition, and author Daniel S. Lucks analyzes the causes and consequences of this disintegration. This powerful narrative illuminates the effects of the Vietnam War on the lives of leaders such as Whitney Young Jr., Stokely Carmichael, Roy Wilkins, Bayard Rustin, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as other activists who faced the threat of the military draft along with race-related discrimination and violence. Providing new insights into the evolution of the civil rights movement, this book fills a significant gap in the literature about one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Daniel S. Lucks earned his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. He lives in Huntington Beach, California.

Art for Equality

The NAACPs Cultural Campaign for Civil Rights
Jenny Woodley
Dedicated to the fight for racial equality since 1909, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the nations oldest civil rights organization. While the group helped achieve substantial victories in the courtroom, the struggle for civil rights extended beyond gaining political support. It also required changing social attitudes. The NAACP worked to alter existing prejudices through the production of art that countered racist depictions of African Americans, focusing its efforts not only on changing the attitudes of the white middle class but also on encouraging racial pride and a sense of identity in the black community. Art for Equality explores an important and little-studied side of the NAACPs activism in the cultural realm. In openly supporting African American artists, writers, and musicians in their creative endeavors, the organization aimed to change the way the public viewed the black community. By overcoming stereotypes and the belief of the majority that African Americans were physically, intellectually, and morally inferior to whites, the NAACP believed it could begin to defeat racism. Illuminating important protests, from the fight against the 1915 film The Birth of a Nation to the production of anti lynching art during the Harlem Renaissance, this insightful volume examines the successes and failures of the NAACPs cultural campaign from 1910 to the 1960s. Exploring the roles of gender and class in shaping the associations patronage of the arts, Art for Equality offers an in-depth analysis of the social and cultural climate during a time of radical change in America. Jenny Woodley is a lecturer in modern history at Nottingham Trent University. She was a contributor to Long is the Way and Hard: One Hundred Years of the NAACP. She lives in Nottingham, England.

In Remembrance of Emmett Till

Regional Stories and Media Responses to the Black Freedom Struggle
Darryl Mace
On August 28, 1955, fourteen-year-old Chicago native Emmett Till was brutally beaten to death for allegedly flirting with a white woman at a grocery store in Money, Mississippi. Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam were acquitted of murdering Till and dumping his body in the Tallahatchie River, and later that year, an all-white grand jury chose not to indict the men on kidnapping charges. A few months later, Bryant and Milam admitted to the crime in an interview with the national media. They were never convicted. Although Tills body was mutilated, his mother ordered that his casket remain open during the funeral service so that the country could observe the results of racially motivated violence in the Deep South. Media attention focused on the lynching fanned the flames of regional tension and impelled many individualsincluding Rosa Parksto become vocal activists for racial equality. In this innovative study, Darryl Mace explores media coverage of Tills murder and provides a close analysis of the regional and racial perspectives that emerged. He investigates the portrayal of the trial in popular and black newspapers in Mississippi and the South, documents posttrial reactions, and examines Tills memorialization in the press to highlight the medias role in shaping regional and national opinions.

Violence against Women in Kentucky

A History of U.S. and State Legislative Reform
Carol E. Jordan
For more than a century, Kentucky women have fought for the right to vote, to own property, to earn and control their wages, and to be safe at home and in the workplace. Tragically, many of them have been silenced by abuse and violence. In Violence against Women in Kentucky: A History of U.S. and State Legislative Reform, Carol E. Jordan chronicles the stories of those who have led the legislative fight to protect women from domestic violence, rape, stalking, and related crimes for the last four decades. Kentuckys legislative reforms reflect a history of substantial toil, optimism, advocacy, and personal sacrifice by those who proposed the changes. This compelling narrative tells the stories of survivors who, from their own point of view, serve as inspiration for change. Jordan analyzes national legislative reforms as well as the strategies that have been used to enact and enforce legislation addressing rape and domestic violence at a local level. Violence against Women in Kentucky is the first study of the history of domestic violence in a state that consistently falls at the bottom of womens rights rankings. Detailing the successes and failures of reforms and outlining the work that is still to be done, this volume considers the future of womens rights legislation in Kentucky. Carol E. Jordan is director of the University of Kentucky Center for Research on Violence Against Women and holds faculty appointments in the departments of psychology and psychiatry. She is a coauthor of Intimate Partner Violence: A Clinical Training Guide for Mental Health Professionals and Women and Victimization: Contributing Factors, Interventions, and Implications. She lives in Lexington, Kentucky.

Alice Kessler-Harris
A rich collection of essays about the gendered construction of the wage in the twentieth-century United States.Womens Review of Books Argues persuasively for a feminist viewpoint grounded in intense historical analysis. A challenging, thought-provoking book.Library Journal
In this updated edition of a groundbreaking classic, Alice Kessler-Harris explores the meanings of womens wages in the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, focusing on three issues that capture the transformation of womens roles: the battle over minimum wage for women, which exposes the relationship between family ideology and workplace demands; the argument concerning equal pay for equal work, which challenges gendered patterns of self-esteem and social organization; and the debate over comparable worth, which seeks to incorporate traditionally female values into new work and family trajectories. Together, these topics illuminate the many ways in which gendered social roles have been produced, transmitted, and challenged. Alice Kessler-Harris is R. Gordon Hoxie Professor of American History and professor in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at Columbia University. She is the author of numerous books, including In Pursuit of Equity: Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in 20thCentury America; Out to Work: A History of Wage-Earning Women in the United States; and A Difficult Woman: The Challenging Life and Times of Lillian Hellman.

Ambition in America
Political Power and the Collapse of Citizenship
Jeffrey A. Becker
Most Americans admire the determination and drive of artists, athletes, and CEOs, but they seem to despise similar ambition in their elected officials. The structure of political representation and the separation of powers detailed in the United States Constitution were intended to restrain selfinterested ambition. Because not all citizens have a desire to rule, republican democracies must choose leaders from pools of ambitious candidates while trying to prevent those same people from exploiting public power to dominate the less ambitious. Ambition in America: Political Power and the Collapse of Citizenship is an engaging examination of this rarely studied yet significant phenomenon. Author Jeffrey A. Becker explores how American political institutions have sought to guide, inspire, and constrain citizens ambitions to power. Detailing the Puritans government by moral community, the Founders attempts to curtail ambition, the influence of Jacksonian populism, and twentieth-century party politics, Becker presents an unfolding drama that culminates in a spirited discussion of the deficiencies in the current political system. This groundbreaking work reassesses the value and role of ambition in politics in order to identify the beliefs and practices that threaten selfgovernment, as well as those that can strengthen democratic politics. Jeffrey A. Becker is associate professor of political science at the University of the Pacific. He lives in Stockton, California.

Growing Democracy in Japan

The Parliamentary Cabinet System since 1868
Brian Woodall
The Japanese government was widely criticized for its weak response to the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, and the nuclear crisis that followed. Although its constitution is modeled on Great Britains Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, Japan has failed to fully integrate the cabinet system into its government. As a result, Japans executive branch has been ineffective in responding to the myriad challenges confronted by an advanced postindustrial society. In Growing Democracy in Japan, Brian Woodall compares Japans cabinet system to those of other capitalist parliamentary democracies, particularly Great Britain. Woodall demonstrates how the nations long history as an activist central bureaucracy has weakened political oversight of government, while career civil servants exercise much greater power than do their counterparts in the British system. The post-1947 cabinet system, begun under the Allied occupation, was fashioned from both imposed and indigenous institutions that coexisted uneasily. Woodall explains how an activist bureaucracy, self-governing policy tribes (zoku) composed of members of parliament, and the uncertainties of coalition governments and twisted Diets have prevented the cabinet from assuming its prescribed role as the foremost executive body. Woodalls meticulous examination of Japans parliamentary cabinet offers lessons for reformers and those working to establish democratic institutions in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, China, and in the new regimes born during the Arab Spring. At the very least, he argues, Japans struggles with this fundamental component of parliamentary governance should serve as a cautionary tale for those who believe that growing democracy is easy. Brian Woodall is associate professor at the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

From its creation in 1950 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the East German Democratic Republics Ministry for State Security closely monitored its nations citizens. Known as the Staatssicherheit or Stasi, this organization was regarded as one of the most repressive intelligence agencies in the world. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarcks 2006 film The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen) has received international acclaimincluding an Academy Award, an Independent Spirit Award, and multiple German Film Awardsfor its moving portrayal of East German life under the pervasive surveillance of the Stasi.

This volume brings German scholarship on the topic to an English-speaking audience for the first time and explores the issue of government surveillance at a time when the subject is often frontpage news. Featuring contributions from German president Joachim Gauck, prominent singer-songwriter Wolf Biermann, journalists Paul Hockenos and Lauren Weiner, and noted scholars Paul A. Cantor and James Pontuso, Totalitarianism on Screen will interest both scholars and fans of the film. Carl Eric Scott is visiting assistant professor of politics at Christopher Newport University.

The Philosophy of Tim Burton

Edited by Jennifer L. McMahon
Director and producer Tim Burton impresses audiences with stunning visuals, sinister fantasy worlds, and characters whose personalities are strange and yet familiar. Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Lewis Carroll, Salvador Dal, Washington Irving, and Dr. Seuss, Burtons creations frequently elicit both alarm and wonder. Whether crafting an offbeat animated feature, a box-office hit, a collection of short fiction, or an art exhibition, Burton pushes the envelope, and he has emerged as a powerful force in contemporary popular culture. In The Philosophy of Tim Burton, a distinguished group of scholars examines the philosophical underpinnings and significance of the directors oeuvre, investigating films such as Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), The Nightmare before Christmas (1993), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), Sweeney Todd (2007), Alice in Wonderland (2010), and Dark Shadows (2012). The essays in this volume explore Burtons distinctive style, often disturbing content, and popular appeal through three thematic lenses: identity, views on authority, and aesthetic vision. Covering topics ranging from Burtons fascination with Victorian ideals, to his celebration of childhood, to his personal expression of the fantastic, the contributors highlight the filmmakers peculiar narrative style and his use of unreal settings to prompt heightened awareness of the world we inhabit. The Philosophy of Tim Burton offers a penetrating and provocative look at one of Hollywoods most influential auteurs. Jennifer L. McMahon, professor of philosophy and English at East Central University, is coeditor of The Philosophy of the Western. She lives in Stratford, Oklahoma.

Virtual Afterlives
Grieving the Dead in the Twenty-First Century
Candi K. Cann
For millennia, the rituals of death and remembrance have been fixed by time and location, but in the twenty-first century, grieving has become a virtual phenomenon. Today, the dead live on through social media profiles, memorial websites, and saved voicemails that can be accessed at any time. This dramatic cultural shift has made the physical presence of death secondary to the psychological experience of mourning. Virtual Afterlives: Grieving the Dead in the Twenty-first Century investigates emerging popular bereavement traditions. Author Candi K. Cann examines new forms of grieving and evaluates how religion and the funeral industry have both contributed to mourning rituals despite their limited ability to remedy grief. As grieving traditions and locations shift, people are discovering new ways to memorialize their loved ones. Bodiless and spontaneous memorials like those at the sites of the shootings in Aurora and Newtown and the Boston Marathon bombing, as well as roadside memorials, car decals, and tattoos, are contributing to a new bereavement language that crosses national boundaries and culture-specific perceptions of death. Examining mourning practices in the United States in comparison to the broader background of practices in Asia and Latin America, Virtual Afterlives seeks to resituate death as a part of life and mourning as a unifying process that helps to create identities and narratives for communities. As technology changes the ways in which we experience death, this engaging study explores the culture of bereavement and the ways in which it, too, is being significantly transformed. Candi K. Cann is assistant professor of religion in the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core at Baylor University. She specializes in comparative religion, death, and bereavement and is the author of The World Religions: Essential Readings and Handbook. She lives in Waco, Texas.

Land of Pure Vision

The Sacred Geography of Tibet and the Himalaya
David Zurick
Foreword by Eric Valli The landscapes of Tibet, Nepal, India, and Bhutan are filled with holy places. Some are of natural originsummits, rivers and lakes, caves, and forest sanctuaries. Others are consecrated by religious practiceshrines, temples, monasteries, and burial grounds. The ways in which the holy sites of the Himalaya unite faith and geography make them some of the most sublime places on earth. In Land of Pure Vision, David Zurick draws from thirty-five years of experience as a geographer, photographer, and explorer of the Himalaya to capture divine landscapes undergoing profound change. The stunning photographs featured in this volume cover the full geographical range and diversity of the region, from the high plateaus of the western Himalaya to the rugged gorges of Tibets eastern borderlands; from the icy summits of the north to the subtropical southern foothills. Some sites exist in isolation, with their monuments and natural environments intact. Others display the tension between the ancient, sacred character of a place and the indifferent course of the modern world. Land of Pure Vision explores how the religious practices of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, and shamanism interweave holy sites into a cohesive landscape of transcendent beauty and inspiration. It portrays a world of mystery, magic, and wonder, where the human spirit is intimately connected to natural forces. More than an elegy, this lavishly illustrated book combines art and scholarship to offer a visual ethnography of people and place.

The Land We Dreamed

Poems
Joe Survant
Weaving together universal themes of family, geography, and death with images of Americas frontier landscape, former Kentucky Poet Laureate Joe Survant has been lauded for his ability to capture the spirit of the land and its people. Kliatt magazine has praised his work, stating, Survants words sing. . . . This is storytelling at its best. Exploring the pre-Columbian and frontier history of the commonwealth, The Land We Dreamed is the final installment in the poets trilogy on rural Kentucky. The poems in the book feature several well-known figures and their stories, reimagining Dr. Thomas Walkers naming of the Cumberland Plateau, Mary Draper Ingless treacherous journey from Big Bone Lick to western Virginia following her abduction by Native Americans, and Daniel Boones ruminations on the fall season of 1770. Survant also explores the Bluegrass from the perspectives of the chiefs of the Shawnee and Seneca tribes.

The Olmsted Parks of Louisville

A Botanical Field Guide
Patricia Dalton Haragan Photographs by Susan Wilson and Chris Bidwell
Introduction by Susan M. Rademacher Foreword by Daniel H. Jones Frederick Law Olmsted, popularly known as the Father of American Landscape Architecture, is famous for designing New York Citys Central Park, the U.S. Capitol grounds, and the campuses of institutions such as Stanford University and the University of Chicago. His celebrated projects in Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Milwaukee, and other cities led to a commission from the city of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1891. There, he partnered with community leaders to design a network of scenic parks, tree-lined parkways, elegant neighborhoods, and beautifully landscaped estate gardens that thousands of visitors still take pleasure in today. The Olmsted Parks of Louisville is the first authoritative manual on the 380 species of trees, herbaceous plants, shrubs, and vines populating the nearly 1,900 acres that comprise Cherokee, Seneca, Iroquois, Shawnee, and Chickasaw Parks. Designed for easy reference, this handy field guide includes detailed photos and maps as well as ecological and historical information about each park. Author Patricia Dalton Haragan also includes sections detailing the many species of invasive plants in the parks and discusses the native flora that they displaced. This guide provides readers with a key to Olmsteds vision, revealing how various plant species were arranged to emphasize the beauty and grandeur of nature. It will serve as an essential resource for students, nature enthusiasts, and the more than ten thousand visitors who enjoy the parks. Patricia Dalton Haragan is the author of Weeds of Kentucky and Adjacent States: A Field Guide and Wildflowers of the Northeast in the Audubon Fairchild Garden. She is a former botanist for Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy and a former curator of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Herbarium. She lives in Louisville, Kentucky.

Duncan Hines
How a Traveling Salesman Became the Most Trusted Name in Food
Louis Hatchett
Foreword by Michael and Jane Stern
Duncan Hines was not just a name emblazoned on a pasteboard box filled with devils food cake mix. He was Americas pioneer restaurant critic, an astute observer of our nations foodways. Louis Hatchetts book puts you in the car with Hines, plying the roadways in search of the best t-bone steak in New York, the best pecan pie in Alabama.John T. Edge, director of the Southern Foodways Alliance
Biography/Cooking March 352 pages 6 x 9 29 b/w photos (Cloth ISBN 978-0-86554-773-4 2001) ISBN 978-0-8131-4459-7 Paper $19.95 ISBN 978-0-8131-4484-9 PDF ISBN 978-0-8131-4483-2 EPUB Offers conclusive proof that Hines was not only a real human being, but an American culinary hero, a contender for the greatest gourmand this country has ever produced.Weekly Standard Cake mixes, brownie mixes, cans of frosting, and bottles of cake glaze all still use his name. But for most Kentuckians and, I suspect, for most Americans, Duncan Hines is a Betty Crocker type brand name: fictitious, made up as just a face for the brand. Those of us who are familiar with Duncan Hines know this isnt true. As a Kentuckian, he made an impact on the travel guide, lodging, restaurant, and food industries.Maggie Green, author of The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook
Duncan Hines (18801959) may be best known for the cake mixes, baked goods, and bread products that bear his name, but most people forget that he was a real person and not just a fictitious figure invented for the brand. Americas pioneer restaurant critic, Hines discovered his passion while working as a traveling salesman during the 1920s and 1930sa time when food standards were poorly enforced and safety was a constant concern. He traveled across America discovering restaurants and offering his recommendations to readers in his best-selling compilation Adventures in Good Eating (1935). The success of this work and of his subsequent publications led Hines to manufacture the extremely popular food products that we still enjoy today. In Duncan Hines, author Louis Hatchett explores the story of the man, from his humble beginnings in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to his lucrative licensing deal with Proctor & Gamble. Following the successful debut of his restaurant guide, Hines published his first cookbook, Adventures in Good Cooking (1939), at the age of fifty-nine and followed it with The Duncan Hines Dessert Book (1955). These culinary classics included recipes from many of the establishments he visited on his travels, favorites handed down through his family for generations, and new dishes that contained unusual ingredients for the era. Many of the recipes served as inspiration for mixes that eventually became available under the Duncan Hines brand. This authoritative biography is a comprehensive account of the life and legacy of a savvy businessman, American icon, and an often-overlooked culinary pioneer whose love of good food led to his name becoming a grocery shelf favorite. Hatchett offers insightful commentary into the man behind the cake mix boxes and how he paved the way for many others like him. Louis Hatchett is the editor of Menckens Americana and The Continuing Crisis: As Chronicled for Four Decades by R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. He lives in Henderson, Kentucky.

Kentucky native and national tastemaker Duncan Hines (18801959) published his first cookbook, Adventures in Good Cooking, in 1939 at the age of fifty-nine. This best-selling collection features recipes from select restaurants across the country as well as crowd-pleasing family favorites, and it helped to raise the standard for home cooking in America. Following the success of this debut, Hines penned The Duncan Hines Dessert Book in 1955. Filled with decadent treats, from homemade ice cream royale to fried apple pie to praline fudge frosting, this book inspired the recipes for the earliest boxed cake mixes and baked goods that carried the Duncan Hines name. Featuring new introductions by Hines biographer Louis Hatchett, these classic cookbooks serve up a satisfying slice of twentieth-century Americana, direct from the kitchen of one of the nations most trusted names in food. Now a new generation of cooks can enjoy and share these delectable dishes with family and friends. Duncan Hines (18801959) was a popular restaurant critic, cook, and food writer. His eponymous line of food products continues to be a bestseller in supermarkets around the world.

Nicely structured, well written, and based on judicious research. . . . A number of essays add significantly to the literature on the Vietnam War.

Nothing Less Than War

A New History of Americas Entry into World War I
Justus D. Doenecke
Paints intriguing portraits of leading figures, many now obscure, including Franklin Delano and Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan, plus the rich stew of newspapers, magazines, organizations, diplomats, and propagandists who fought . . . over this issue.Publishers Weekly (starred review) Doenecke untangles and clarifies the national debate in great detail in this dense, well-documented study.Library Journal [Doenecke] portrays accurately how the American public regarded the European conflict before 1917.Journal of American History
Nearly four decades after the final withdrawal of American troops from Southeast Asia, the legacy of the Vietnam War continues to influence political, military, and cultural discourse. The War That Never Ends explores both the antiwar movement and the experiences of infantrymen on the front lines of battle, as well as the medias controversial coverage of Americas involvement in the war, shedding new light on the evolving historical meanings of the Vietnam War, its enduring impact, and its potential to influence future political and military decision making. David L. Anderson is professor of history in the Division of Social, Behavioral, and Global Studies at California State University, Monterey Bay, and past president of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. His publications include The Vietnam War and Shadow on the White House. He lives in Monterey, California. John Ernst is professor of history at Morehead State University and the author of Forging a Fateful Alliance. He lives in Morehead, Kentucky.
When World War I broke out in Europe in 1914, political leaders in the United States were swayed by popular opinion to remain neutral. Fewer than three years later, however, the nation declared war on Germany. In this impressive study, Justus D. Doenecke reappraises the diplomacy of President Woodrow Wilson and his closest advisors and explores Congresss response to the wardemonstrating that while the decision to engage ultimately belonged to Wilson, his choice was not made in isolation. Nothing Less Than War provides a comprehensive examination of Americas internal political climate and its changing international role during the seminal period from 1914 to 1917. Justus D. Doenecke, professor emeritus of history at New College of Florida, is the author of ten books. His book, Storm on the Horizon: The Challenge to American Intervention, 1939 1941, won the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Associations book award. He lives in Bradenton, Florida.
