ten-year-old daughter Louisa May, future author of Little Women,
was among the members) and an Englishman called Charles Lane,
under the watchful gaze of Emerson, Thoreau, and other New
England intellectuals.
Alcott and Lane developed their own version of the doctrine known
as Transcendentalism, hoping to transform society and redeem the
environment through a strict regime of veganism and celibacy. But
physical suffering and emotional conflict—particularly between
Lane and Alcott’s wife, Abigail—made the community unsustainable.
Drawing on the letters and diaries of those involved, Richard Francis
explores the relationship between the complex philosophical beliefs
held by Alcott, Lane, and their fellow idealists and their day-to-day
lives. The result is a vivid and often very funny narrative of their
travails, demonstrating the dilemmas and conflicts inherent to any
utopian experiment and shedding light on a fascinating period of

“Of all the projects our Foundation has been involved in, none has
been more exciting than this opportunity to inspire young students
to examine the ethical aspect of what they have learned in their
personal lives and from their teachers in the classroom,” writes Elie
Wiesel. Readers will find essays on Bosnia, the genocide in Rwanda,
sweatshops and globalization, and the political obligations of the
mothers of Argentina’s Disappeared. Other essays tell of a white stu-

share in Ladakh, and the outsize implications of reporting on some-
thing as small as a cracked windshield. Readers will be fascinated by
the ways in which essays on conflict, conscience, memory, illness
(Rachel Maddow’s essay on AIDS appears), and God overlap and
resonate with one another.
These essays reflect those who are “sensitive to the sufferings and
defects that confront a society yearning for guidance and eager to
hear ethical voices,” writes Elie Wiesel. “And they are a beacon for
what our schools must realize as an essential component of a true
education.”

Whereas the Western perspective on the Cold War has been well doc-
umented by journalists and historians, the Soviet side has remained
for the most part shrouded in secrecy—until now. Drawing on a vast
range of recently released archives in the United States, the United
Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and Eastern Europe, Russia’s
Cold War offers a thorough and fascinating analysis of East-West rela-
tions from 1917 to 1989.
Far more than merely a straightforward history of the Cold War, this
book presents the first account of politics and decision making at the
highest levels of Soviet power: how Soviet leaders saw political and
military events, what they were trying to accomplish, their miscal-
culations, and the ways they took advantage of Western ignorance.
Russia’s Cold War fills a significant gap in our understanding of the
most important geopolitical rivalry of the twentieth century.

use to prosper in the new era of digital media Columbia Business School, in New York City.
There is no shortage of books about digital media, but what has been
missing is a strategic take on how business owners can utilize the
most powerful asset of the digital age: customer networks. Whether
shoppers, business clients, charitable donors, or election voters,
today’s customers are harnessing digital tools to connect to, com-
municate with, and contribute to businesses.
In The Network Is Your Customer, digital strategy expert David Rogers
shows business owners and company leaders how to think strategi-
cally about customer networks and harness their power to create
new opportunities for any organization. By identifying the five core
behaviors of networked customers—accessing, engaging, customiz-
ing, connecting, and collaborating—he uncovers five core strategies
that any organization can use to create new value.
These strategies can be used not just for communications and social
networking but to drive sales, enhance innovation, reduce costs, gain
customer insight, and build breakthrough products and services that
rewrite existing business categories.
With clear analysis and practical frameworks, Rogers shows how any
organization can apply the five strategies to meet its own key busi-
ness objectives. He presents a wealth of case studies from numerous
business, consumer, and nonprofit categories. And he offers a clear
process for planning and implementing a customer network strategy.
Whether they sell shoes or news, software or healthcare, any business

military structure that had developed during World War II. After the
conflict ended, the nation did not abandon its wartime economy but
rather the opposite. Military spending has steadily increased, giving
rise to one of the key ideas that continues to shape our country’s
political landscape.
In this book, published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of
Eisenhower’s farewell address, journalist James Ledbetter shows
how the government, military contractors, and the nation’s overall
economy have become inseparable. Some of the effects are benefi-
cial, such as cell phones, GPS systems, the Internet, and the Hubble
Space Telescope, all of which emerged from technologies first devel-
oped for the military. But the military-industrial complex has also
provoked agonizing questions. Does our massive military establish-
ment—bigger than those of the next ten largest combined—really
make us safer? How much of our perception of security threats
is driven by the profit-making motives of military contractors?
To what extent is our foreign policy influenced by contractors’
financial interests?
Ledbetter uncovers the surprising origins and the even more surpris-
ing afterlife of the military-industrial complex, an idea that arose as
early as the 1930s, and shows how it gained traction during World
War II, the Cold War, and the Vietnam era and continues even today.

How the Third Reich Abused a Cultural Icon University of London, and author of Music in
the Third Reich. He lives in Surrey, UK.
Erik Levi
Despite the apparent incompatibility between Mozart’s humanitarian and
cosmopolitan outlook and Nazi ideology, the Third Reich tenaciously pro-
moted the great composer’s music to further the goals of the fascist regime.
In this revelatory book, Erik Levi draws on period articles, diaries, speeches,
and other archival materials to provide a new understanding of how the
Nazis shamelessly manipulated Mozart for their own political advantage.
The book also explores the continued Jewish veneration of the composer
during this period while also highlighting some of the disturbing legacies
of Mozart reception that resulted from Nazi appropriation of his work.
Augmented by rare contemporary illustrations, Mozart and the Nazis will
be widely welcomed by readers with interests in music, German history,
Holocaust studies, propaganda, and politics in the twentieth century.

Over the past decade, states and international organizations have shifted a
surprising range of foreign policy functions to private contractors. But who
is accountable when the employees of foreign private firms do violence or
create harm? This timely book describes the services that are now delivered
by private contractors and the threat this trend poses to core public values
of human rights, democratic accountability, and transparency. The author
offers a series of concrete reforms that are necessary to expand traditional
legal accountability, construct better mechanisms of public participation,
and alter the organizational structure and institutional culture of contrac-
tor firms. The result is a pragmatic, nuanced, and comprehensive set of
responses to the problem of foreign affairs privatization.

Sin
A History
Gary A. Anderson
In this sensitive, imaginative, and original work, Gary A. Anderson shows
how changing conceptions of sin and forgiveness lay at the very heart of the
biblical tradition. Spanning nearly two thousand years, the book brilliantly
demonstrates how sin, once conceived of as a physical burden, becomes,
over time, eclipsed by economic metaphors. These changing notions pro-
foundly shaped both Jewish and Christian practices, provided a spur for the
Protestant Reformation, and created a legacy that endures until today.

tery and wonder. Fusing house and dream, it probes the relationship
between interior and shell, object and space, and it elaborates “the
marvelous” and “compulsive beauty” as espoused by André Breton.
The haunted house, the cabinet of curiosities, the ruined castle, the
cage, the cave, the box, the labyrinth, the bell jar, and the womb are
among the uniquely surreal habitats explored.
Shaped by the irrational and the subversive, the flip side of the mod-
ernist paradigm of the functional, rational dwelling, The Surreal
House is ripe for discovery. Mirroring the surrealist love of poetic jux-
taposition, the project brings together works by artists such as Edward
Hopper, Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Man Ray, Max
Ernst, René Magritte, Joseph Cornell, and Salvador Dalí. A surreal
legacy is to be found in the interiors of little-known Italian architect
and designer Carlo Mollino, in Frederick Kiesler’s model for “The
Endless House” (1957–59), in sculptures by Louise Bourgeois and
Rebecca Horn, and in installations by Edward Kienholz and Ilya
Kabakov. Contemporary architecture is represented by the work of
Rem Koolhaas and Diller & Scofidio, among others.
A manifesto for a poetic reading of the house, The Surreal House
reflects on the unquestionable importance of the dwelling, the cra-
dle of our being, in the imaginative realm. This richly illustrated
account brings together a host of commentators and historians, and
accompanies a major exhibition.
Philip de L ászló
His Life and Art
Duff Hart-Davis
in collaboration with Caroline Corbeau-Parsons
Philip de László (1869–1937) was born into a humble Hungarian family
in Budapest and rose to become the preeminent portrait artist working in
Britain between 1907 and 1937. He painted nearly 3,000 portraits, including
those of numerous kings and queens, four American presidents, and count-
less members of the European nobility. “Has any one painter ever before
painted so many interesting and historical personages?” asked his contem-
poraries. There has been no biography of him since 1939, and this new
account of both his life and his work draws on previously untapped material
from the family archive of over 15,000 documents, to which the author has
had unrivaled access. It establishes the intrinsic importance of his art and re-
positions him in his rightful place alongside his great contemporaries John
Singer Sargent, Sir John Lavery, and Giovanni Boldini.
Duff Hart-Davis is the author or editor of over 40 books and the biographer of Peter
Fleming (the elder brother of Ian), Raoul Millais (the grandson of J. E. Millais), J. J.
Audubon, and Eileen Soper (the wildlife photographer).

250 Objects of Fashion & Desire
Bianca du Mortier and Ninke Bloemberg
From purses to parasols, spectacles to slippers, wigs to walking sticks, the
Rijksmuseum has a superb collection of fashion accessories that also
includes a rich array of more familiar items: hats, gloves, and shoes for both
men and women. Ranging from the 15th to the 21st century, the objects in
this stylish book are grouped by color, allowing intriguing juxtapositions of
period, material, and type.
Many of these accessories were originally received as gifts on all kinds of
occasions and for all kinds of reasons: a souvenir from a distant country
sent to the family back home; a pair of gloves or a purse embroidered with
symbols of marriage and the couple’s initials; an ivory fan commissioned
in Canton, carved with the initials of a lover or inscribed with an amorous
allusion; an embroidered cap from a wife to a husband to mark the birth of a Distributed for the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
child; a fan for a daughter from her grateful parents for her loyal obedience;
or a gift for wedding guests to take home.
Superb photography and award-winning design make this an exceptionally
desirable book for every follower of fashion with a sense of history.

providing a vivid picture of how styles have changed—sometimes
radically—over the years. A late 1600s wool dress with a surprising

a short, shimmery 1920s dancing dress; a glamorous 1950s cocktail

Treasures of Heaven
Saints, Relics, and Devotion in Medieval Europe
Edited by Martina Bagnoli, Holger A. Klein,
C. Griffith Mann, and James Robinson
Drawing together a vast array of treasured objects from collections
throughout Europe and the United States, this beautifully illustrated vol-
ume examines the cult of sacred relics in greater depth and breadth than
ever before. Tracing the making of reliquaries from the earliest days of
Christianity to the apogee of the practice in the 16th century, the book con-
siders the importance of reliquaries as markers of the divine in both Eastern
Christianity (Byzantium) and Western Christendom. The book also tracks
the fate of relics and reliquaries in the wake of the Reformation, anti-clerical
movements, and the French Revolution.

materials to construct the heavenly power of sacred objects and sheds fasci- Exhibition Schedule:

With essays by Angelika Wesenberg, Stefan

This beautiful catalogue gathers a magnificent selection of the fin-
est landscape works by Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, and Max
Slevogt—Germany’s three greatest Impressionist painters. Impressionism,
considered a French style of painting, was greeted with hostility in Germany,
where traditionalists opposed all foreign influence in the art of their nation
state. Yet Liebermann, Corinth, and Slevogt, whose works were less rigid
and routine than those of many of their contemporaries, won over a doubtful
domestic audience and inspired a flowering of Impressionism in Germany.

Michelangelo Pistoletto

Edited by Carlos Basualdo
With contributions by Carlos Basualdo, Jean-François Chevrier, Claire

One of Europe’s most influential contemporary artists, Michelangelo
Pistoletto (born 1933) has persistently investigated and expanded the role of
the spectator in art since the 1950s through painting, sculpture, and perfor-
mance. His present standing as an inspirational figure among younger artists
is a testament to the innovative vitality that characterizes all his work, from
early paintings and leadership in the Arte Povera movement to his influence
on current participatory artistic practices.
This handsomely illustrated book features works created from 1956 to 1974,
many never exhibited in the United States, as well as a selection of the
artist’s writings. Contributors to the book discuss the context of Pistoletto’s Exhibition Schedule:

The Visual World of French
Theory, Volume 1
Figurations
Sarah Wilson
This revelatory book focuses on a remarkable series of encounters between
the most prominent French philosophers of the 1960s and 1970s—Sartre,
Deleuze, Bourdieu, and Foucault among them—and the artists of their
times, most particularly the protagonists of the Narrative Figuration move-
ment. Each encounter involved either a mutual engagement or the writing
of critical texts or catalogue prefaces—texts that illuminate not only the work
of the artists but also the production of the philosopher-writer concerned.
Although the protagonists of “French theory” are universally known and
studied, their thought is presented without a sense of contiguity, chronol-
ogy, or context in translation, while the artists with whom they engaged are
virtually unknown outside the French-speaking world. This account restores
the lived context of artistic production. What Bourdieu called “cultural com-
petence” is seen to be essential for these particular philosophers, and Sarah
Wilson shows that it is through them that the figurative art of 1970s France
can be introduced to the audience it deserves.
Sarah Wilson is professor of modern art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University
of London.

Empire Without End
Antiquities Collections in Renaissance Rome, c. 1350–1527
Kathleen Wren Christian
This lucid and coherent account provides a new overview of the collect-
ing of antiquities in early renaissance Rome, from the time of Petrarch to
the Sack of Rome in 1527. In the early 15th century, when Romans dis-
covered ancient marble sculptures and inscriptions in the ruins, they often
melted them into mortar. A hundred years later, however, antique marbles
had assumed their familiar role as works of art displayed in private collec-
tions. In this important book, the author steps back to examine the “long”
15th century, a critical period in the history of antiquities collecting that has
received scant attention. She examines shifts in the response of artists and
writers to spectacular archaeological discoveries and the new role of collect-
ing antiquities in the public life of Roman elites. The book culminates in
a detailed catalogue of the thirty-six most important antiquities collections
formed before the Sack and brings these vanished sites back to life by using
archival documents, drawings, and descriptions by visitors to clarify the his-
tory and appearance of little-studied collections.

Becoming Venetian
Immigrants and the Arts in Early Modern Venice
Blake de Maria
Few, if any, early modern European cities boasted a population as racially,
ethnically, and religiously diverse as Renaissance Venice, from German mer-
chants living in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi to the Jewish inhabitants of the
Ghetto. This fascinating book focuses on the wealthy elite of that immigrant
population. From monumental palaces to pictorial cycles, Blake de Maria
examines the artistic patronage commissioned by and associated with rich
immigrant merchants who relocated to Venice with the aim of becoming
Venetian cittadini, or citizens.
As newcomers to the city, immigrant merchant families had to acquire the
material commodities necessary for everyday life, and the need to establish
an appropriate spiritual identity proved equally pressing. De Maria investi-
gates important aspects of the artistic, commercial, and familial activities of
naturalized citizen families, and considers the communal functions of this
merchant clan, their social identity as naturalized citizens, their contribu-
tions to the fabric of early modern Venice, and their complex relationship
with Venice’s native population. Rich in new material and full of human
interest, the book sheds light on a significant, hitherto little-known sector in
Venetian artistic patronage.
Blake de Maria is assistant professor of art history and director of the Medieval/
Renaissance Studies Program at Santa Clara University.

Ford M adox Brown
A Catalogue Raisonné
Mary Bennett
Ford Madox Brown (1821–1893) is known predominantly for his close asso-
ciation with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and for his masterpiece, The
Last of England (1852–55), with its poignant imagery of a young emigrant
couple aboard ship taking their last sight of home. Admired by the young
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Brown was introduced by Rossetti to the artists of the
PRB, an association that confirmed Brown’s interests in outdoor light effects
and led to the glowing palette of his great paintings of the 1850s. His interests
embraced decorative design, and in the 1860s he was a founding member of
the now famous decorating firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.
This fully illustrated catalogue provides the first complete coverage of all of
Madox Brown’s work (including a section on frame designs contributed by
Lynn Roberts). Drawing on the artist’s diary and largely unpublished corre- Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for

Mary Bennett was formerly Keeper of British Art at the Walker Art Gallery,

John Brett
Pre-Raphaelite Landscape Painter
Christiana Payne
Drawing on a wealth of unpublished sketchbooks, journals, and writings,
this essential guide to John Brett (1831–1902) investigates the painter who
was seen as the leader of the Pre-Raphaelite landscape school. In addi-
tion to exploring the familiar early works, including The Val d’Aosta and
Stonebreaker, it provides rich information on his later, less-known coastal
and marine paintings. Brett’s turbulent friendship with John Ruskin is dis-
cussed, as are his relations with his beloved sister, Rosa, and his partner Mary,
with whom he had seven children. His fervent interest in astronomy, his love
of the sea, and his lifelong pursuit of wealth and recognition are all exam-
ined in this reassessment, which concludes with a catalogue raisonné of his
works, prepared by his descendent Charles Brett.

Cloisonné
Chinese Enamels from the Ming and Qing Dynasties
Edited by Béatrice Quette
The technique of applying brilliant enamel ornament to metalwork, known
as cloisonné, reached its peak in China from the fourteenth century on. This
sumptuously illustrated survey, which accompanies an exhibition at the
Bard Graduate Center, situates these remarkable pieces in their context with
a survey of the historical, political and sociological milieu in China during
the period. Research recently undertaken in China and published here for
the first time has resulted in the redating of a number of objects with signifi-
cant implications for the overview of Chinese cloisonné production. Shapes,
functions, pattern, and symbolism in cloisonné objects are all examined and
explored. And the final section of the book reviews the impact of develop-
ments in China on later production in Europe, as well as the acquisition of
cloisonné pieces by the major American museums and private collectors at
the beginning of the twentieth century.

The Waters of Rome
Aqueducts, Fountains, and the Birth of the Baroque City
Katherine Wentworth Rinne
In this pioneering study of the water infrastructure of Renaissance Rome,
urban historian Katherine Rinne offers a new understanding of how techno-
logical and scientific developments in aqueduct and fountain architecture
helped turn a medieval backwater into the preeminent city of early mod-
ern Europe. Supported by the author’s extensive topographical research,
this book presents a unified vision of the city that links improvements to
public and private water systems with political, religious, and social change.
Between 1560 and 1630, in a spectacular burst of urban renewal, Rome’s
religious and civil authorities sponsored the construction of aqueducts,
private and public fountains for drinking, washing, and industry, and the
magnificent ceremonial fountains that are Rome’s glory. Tying together the
technological, sociopolitical, and artistic questions that faced the designers
during an age of turmoil in which the Catholic Church found its authority
threatened and the infrastructure of the city was in a state of decay, Rinne
shows how these public works projects transformed Rome in a successful
marriage of innovative engineering and strategic urban planning.
Katherine Wentworth Rinne is an urban designer and historian of
Renaissance and baroque architecture and urbanism. She is adjunct professor in the
department of architecture at the California College of the Arts and associate fellow at the
Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia.

“The Butcher’s Shop” by Annibale Carracci
C. D. Dickerson III
Born in Bologna, Annibale Carracci (1564–1609) was one of the most rev-
olutionary artists of the late Renaissance. Even before turning twenty, he
rebelled against convention by investing his art with a sense of naturalism
uncommon to paintings of the period. His early painting The Butcher’s Shop,
a cherished work in the Kimbell Art Museum’s collection, marks the begin-
ning of Carracci’s artistic journey and remains one of his most powerfully
naturalistic works.
This fascinating study explores the origins and significance of The Butcher’s
Shop, placing it within the artist’s own career as well as the broader con-
text of Italian painting. Detailing the uniqueness and vitality of Carracci’s

Building – in–Time
From Giotto to Alberti and Modern Oblivion
Marvin Trachtenberg
In pre-modern Europe, the architect built not merely with imagination,
brick, and mortar but with time, using vast quantities of duration as the
means to erect monumental buildings that otherwise would have been
impossible to achieve. Virtually all the great cathedrals of Europe were built
under and by this regime, here given the name “Building–in–Time.” It
places in an entirely new light the major works of pre-modern Italy, from the
Pisa cathedral group to the cathedrals of Milan, Venice, and Siena, and from
the monuments of 14th-century Florence to the new St. Peter’s.
In this illuminating book, Marvin Trachtenberg rewrites the history of medi-
eval and Renaissance architecture in Italy and recasts the turn to modernity
in new terms, those of temporality and its role in architectural theory and
practice. Recovering this lost element of the deep architectural past revises
our view of the present: temporality is not a neutral or secondary factor in
modern architecture culture but a condition that affects all production and
experience of the built environment.
Marvin Trachtenberg is Edith Kitzmiller Professor of Art History, Institute of

Impressionist Children
Childhood, Family, and Modern Identity in French Art
Greg M. Thomas
Images of children and families abound in the works of the French
Impressionists, from Claude Monet’s portraits of his young sons to Mary
Cassatt’s endearing images of mother and child. In Impressionist Children,
Greg M. Thomas offers new perspectives on some of the most famous paint-
ings in art history, explaining how they reflect the dominant social, cultural,
and political aspects of Parisian middle-class life in the late 1800s.
Drawing on letters, children’s books, tourist guidebooks, and 19th-century
texts on child development, parenting, and education, Thomas skillfully
demonstrates how childhood became a crucial theme for its embodiment of
adult ideas about childhood, the family, sexuality, work and leisure, national
culture, and, above all, the formation and reproduction of bourgeois iden-
tity. He discusses paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures by Impressionist
artists and investigates the influence of popular visual culture—fash-
ion, toys, studio photography, and illustrations in books, magazines, and
park guides—on the Impressionists’ conceptualization of childhood and
family relations.

Tutankhamun’s Funeral
Herbert E. Winlock
Introduction and Appendix by Dorothea Arnold
In 1907, more than a decade before the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb,
archaeologists unearthed remains from the mummification and funeral of
the pharaoh, who ruled ancient Egypt in the 14th century b.c. Now in the
collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, these materials provide
physical evidence of burial rites of the now-legendary king, who is making
headlines once again after new scientific investigations to determine the
cause of his early death.
Tutankhamun’s Funeral includes a classic text written in 1941 by Herbert
E. Winlock, one of the early 20th century’s leading Egyptologists, featuring
in-depth analysis of the objects and their significance. In addition, an intro-
duction and appendix by Dorothea Arnold update the findings with recent
scholarship. The book is illustrated throughout with new color photography Exhibition Schedule:
as well as many historical images and drawings. The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Herbert E. Winlock (1884–1950) was Director of The Metropolitan Museum 03/16/10–09/06/10

Hendrick Avercamp
Master of the Ice Scene
Edited by Pieter Roelofs
Hendrick Avercamp (1585–1634) was the first artist to specialize in paint-
ing winter landscapes that feature people enjoying themselves on the ice.
Scenes of skating, sleigh rides, and outdoor games on frozen canals and
waterways bring to life the energetic pastimes and day-to-day bustle of the
Golden Age. He made the “ice scene” a genre in its own right. Within these
winter scenes there is also a social narrative: unencumbered by status, all
classes formed one community on the ice, where they went about their daily
business and celebrated the delights of the winter conditions.
For the first time in many years this virtuoso artist receives the attention he
deserves. The authors explore every aspect of Avercamp’s work, from the
weather conditions prevalent at the time to details of the clothes worn by the
figures in his crowded scenes. Avercamp was also an outstanding draftsman Exhibition Schedule:
who made individual figure studies that he utilized not only in his painted National Gallery of Art, Washington
work but also in compositional drawings. 03/21/10
