The People's Spiral of US History
THE PEOPLE'S SPIRAL OF US HISTORY sees today's Trump/Bannon assault on democracy erupting from our genetic roots. We're born of the matriarchal Indigenous, whose Hodenosaunee Confederacy embodied humankind's quintessential democracy. We're fathered by uptight macho Puritans still self-defined as the Elect of God. The global empire they spawned rose, then fell through six shortening cycles, expiring 1992-2020 in a Trumpocalyptic Death Rattle. As Millennial/Zoomers transcend race, class/caste, sexual diversity, spiritual awakening, eco-terror...the American organism struggles to be reborn. Will we get there?

The New Bibliopolis
The late-nineteenth century in Europe was a period of profound political, social, and technological change. One result of these changes was the rise in France of an upper-bourgeois bohemian class. Many of its members stimulated interest in unique forms of artistic expression such as illustrated books. On account of their influence, an atmosphere of intense bibliophilic activity came to define French culture at the turn of the century. The New Bibliopolis explores the role of amateurs in promoting the book arts in France during this period. Drawing on extensive original research, Willa Z. Silverman looks at the ways in which book collectors supported print culture. She shows how, through the ...

Survivor I Changed the Rules
If you've read Manchild in the Promised Land by Claude Brown, and It Make Me Wanna Holler by Nathan McCall. Then Survivor I Changed the Rules, is a must read. It speaks for the generation of African American men who were teens during the crack/cocaine era of the 1980's-1990's. From hustling at fifteen, to pulling stick ups at sixteen, Shellman found himself at the age of seventeen being sentenced to four to twelve years in prison. In an honest and brutal way Shellman tells his life story from a powerless child to a power crazed misdirected youth, survival of the fittest on the streets and life within some of the roughest prisons in New York State. Throughout the story you witness his search for self peace and spiritual growth as he sought to balance his troubled life which would ultimately lead him through life threatening situations where by chance and little wit he would overcome time and time again. And finally some way, some how an awakening rose within him to change his life and write stories which would help others.
Love Notes and Letters
This volume offers the first translation into English of two seminal works by the seventeenth-century French woman author, Marie-Catherine Desjardins, better known as Madame de Villedieu. The first of these works, Lettres et billets galants [Love Notes and Letters], was published in 1668 and contains her most intimate letters to her lover, Antoine de Villedieu. The second work, Le Portefeuille [The Letter Case], which appeared in 1674, is an epistolary novel composed of a series of ten letters from the Marquis de Naumanoir to a nobleman in the provprovinces. These letters recount in a delightfully playful manner the amorous misadventures and intrigues of a half-dozen Parisian socialites. This work's close ties in terms of content and form to the publication of Villedieu's Lettres et billets gallants six years earlier make it a perfect complement. The author's introduction offers not only a critical interpretation of these works but stresses the importance of the publication of Desjardins' authentic correspondence as a turning point in her career and key to her later works.
