Van Gogh on Art and Artists
Twenty-three missives — written from 1887 to 1889 — radiate their author's impulsiveness, intensity, and mysticism. The letters are complemented by reproductions of van Gogh's major paintings. 32 full-page black-and-white illustrations.
Lafayette
L’insurrection est le plus sacré des devoirs. Personnalité de la Révolution française, acteur majeur de la monarchie de Juillet, celui qui avait joué un rôle décisif dans la guerre d’Indépendance des États-Unis, Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette (1757-1834) fut autant controversé de son vivant qu’après sa mort. Du côté français on le qualifia volontiers de cavalier de la chimère, de statue en quête de piédestal, voire de plus jobard des libéraux. Du côté américain, l’image est tout autre : appelé affectueusement notre marquis, élevé en 2002 au rang de citoyen d’honneur des États-Unis d’Amérique, il est considéré comme un véritable héros et un pionnier de la liberté. Bernard Vincent choisit l’histoire plus que la politique : Lafayette eut, mieux qu’une vie, un destin.

The Madonna List
Rome, 1221. On the death of Dominic Guzman, founder of the Order of Dominican Friars, a list of three names is locked away with the depositions attesting to Dominic's beatification, and a copy is sealed in an icon of the Virgin Mary that is eventually carried to New France. This list is the thread that binds the fates of ordinary people caught up in the grand sweep of historical events. The Madonna List traces the lives of two nineteenth—century men across three continents, where each finds himself intertwined with a woman who has been visited by the Virgin Mary. Bernad Birous is an ambitious and arrogant young Genoan of the merchant class who desires to use the power of the Church to serv...
Sociology and Scientism
During the 1920s a new generation of American sociologists tried to make their discipline more objective by adopting the methodology of the natural sciences. Robert Bannister provides the first comprehensive account of the emergence of this "objectivism"
World War II: Infographics
The mass of available data about World War II has never been as large as it is now, yet it has become increasingly complicated to interpret it in a meaningful way. Packed with cleverly designed graphics, charts and diagrams, World War II: Infographics offers a new approach by telling the story of the conflict visually. Encompassing the conflict from its roots to its aftermath, more than 50 themes are treated in great detail, ranging from the rise of the Far Right in pre-war Europe and mass mobilization, to evolving military tactics and technology and the financial and human cost of the conflict. Throughout, the shifting balance of power between the Axis and the Allies and the global nature of the war and its devastation are made strikingly clear.
