The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson
by Brian C. Wilson“A vivid and painstakingly researched account of Emerson’s late-in-life, seven-week trek across the North American continent in 1871.” —New York Review of BooksIn the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices.Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this group’s travels onto the private story of Emerson’s final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.“Wilson effectively conveys Emerson’s cultural myopia, along with its late-Victorian context.” —Times Literary Supplement“Deeply researched, enjoyably readable.” —San Francisco Chronicle“What Wilson offers the Emersonian reader today is a unique story of Emerson in motion, having a particularly American experience in looking westward.” —Emerson Society Papers“A welcome addition to Emerson scholarship and the first comprehensive treatment of his journey westward to the Pacific state.” —Ronald A. Bosco, general editor of The Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lavash takes us on a captivating journey through Armenia, sharing stories of this ancient land&’s history and people, along with the secrets of its remarkable cuisine.

The Politics of Massachusetts Exceptionalism: Reputation Meets Reality
by Erin O'Brien Jerold Duquette“Thorough, engaging, and full of insight . . . a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the state’s governmental process and its political actors.” —Jeffrey M. Berry, author of Lobbying for the People: The Political Behavior of Public Interest GroupsAre claims of Massachusetts’s special and instructive place in American history and politics justified? Alternately described as a “city upon a hill” and “an organized system of hatreds,” Massachusetts politics has indisputably exerted an outsized pull on the national stage. The Commonwealth’s leaders often argue for the state’s distinct position within the union, citing its proud abolitionist history and its status as a policy leader on health care, gay marriage, and transgender rights, not to mention its fertile soil for budding national politicians. Detractors point to the state’s busing crisis, sky-high levels of economic inequality, and mixed support for undocumented immigrants.The Politics of Massachusetts Exceptionalism tackles these tensions, offering a collection of essays from public policy experts that address the state’s noteworthy contributions to the nation’s political history. This is a much-needed volume for Massachusetts policymakers, journalists, and community leaders, as well as those learning about political power at the state level, inside and outside of the classroom. Contributors include the editors as well as Maurice T. Cunningham, Lawrence Friedman, Shannon Jenkins, Luis F. Jiménez, and Peter Ubertaccio. “One-stop shopping for an understanding of Massachusetts politics.” —CommonWealth Magazine

The Marxism of Che Guevara: Philosophy, Economics, Revolutionary Warfare
by Michael Löwy&“Excellent. . . .The book gives one a clear understanding of the relationship of Guevara's thought to traditional Russian and Marxist philosophy.&” —Choice Reviews In this seminal exploration of Che Guevara&’s contributions to Marxist thinking, Michael Löwy traces Che's ideas about Marxism both as they related to Latin America and to more general philosophical, political, and economic issues. Now revised and updated, this edition includes a chapter on Guevara's search for a new paradigm of socialism and a substantive essay by Peter McLaren on Che&’s continued relevance today. Löwy portrays Guevara as a revolutionary humanist who considered all political questions from an internationalist viewpoint. For him, revolutionary movements in Latin America were part of a world process of emancipation. Löwy considers especially Che's views on the contradiction between socialist planning and the law of value in the Cuban economy and his search for an alternative road to the &“actually existing socialism&” of the Stalinist and post-Stalinist Soviet bloc. Che&’s varied occupations—doctor and economist, revolutionary and banker, agitator and ambassador, industrial organizer and guerrilla fighter—were expressions of a deep commitment to social change. This book eloquently captures his views on humanity, his contributions to the theory of revolutionary warfare, and his ideas about society&’s transition to socialism, offering a cohesive, nuanced introduction to the range of Guevara's thought. &“An excellent classroom tool for anyone teaching about Latin America or revolution.&” ―Science & Society &“[This book] provides us with the picture of [Guevara&’s] great, flexible, and searching mind.&” —Carleton Beals &“Michael Löwy&’s brief but penetrating book takes Che Guevara not as a romantic adventurer but as a serious revolutionary militant.&” ―Telos
The Dalai Lama on What Matters Most: Conversations on Anger, Compassion, and Action
by The Dalai Lama Noriyuki UedaThe Dalai Lama as You've Never Heard Him BeforeA few years ago, prominent cultural anthropologist Noriyuki Ueda sat down with the Dalai Lama for a lively two-day conversation. This little book is the result. In it are some surprising truths and commonsense wisdom."The attachment that seeks what is good is worthwhile. Seeking enlightenment is a kind of attachment that we should keep, as is the desire for an unbiased heart.""Anger that is motivated by compassion or a desire to correct social injustice, and does not seek to harm anyone, is a good anger worth having.""I'm not only a socialist, but also a bit of a leftist, a Communist.""The type of competition that says, 'I am the winner, and you are the loser' must be overcome. But a positive competition allows us to lift each other up so that everybody ends up on top."Open the book to any page and find great wisdom on what matters most. And what matters most is not adherence to any one doctrine or political system but living with an open mind and heart.

Becoming a Cosmopolitan: What It Means to Be a Human Being in the New Millennium
by Jason D HillThe philosopher and author of Beyond Blood Identities offers a new paradigm of persona freedom and moral self-possession. As a Jamaican immigrant arriving in the United States at the age of twenty, Jason Hill noticed how often Americans identified themselves in terms of race and ethnicity. He observed, for example, the reluctance of West Indians to joins 'black causes' for fear of losing their identity. He began to ask himself what sort of world he wanted to live in, a quest that in time led him to the idea of the cosmopolitan. In Becoming a Cosmopolitan, Jason D. Hill argues that we need a new understanding of the self. He revives the idea of the cosmopolitan, the person who identifies the world as home. Arguing for the right to forget where we came from, Hill proposes a new moral cosmopolitanism for the new millennium.
