A Place to Belong
A Place to Belong is a profusely illustrated, intimate, contemporary portrait of Calvert, a three-hundred-year-old fishing village on Newfoundland's southern shore. Often using its residents' own words, Gerald Pocius describes in detail the continual creative encounters between past and present, between individual and community, that make up daily life in Calvert. By accepted standards of tradition, Calvert's culture is declining. Old structures are regularly torn down or renovated; antique household items are replaced with modern conveniences. Pocius argues, however, that the tangible expressions of a culture can be misleading. Calvert's essence is not in the things owned and used by its re...

The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Perhaps no other song has held such a profoundly significant—and contradictory—place in America's history and cultural memory than "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." In this sweeping study, John Stauffer and Benjamin Soskis show how this Civil War tune has become an anthem for cause after radically different cause in our nation's history.
Alice Adams
The first full-scale biography of prolific writer Alice Adams, whose celebrated stories and bestselling novels traced women’s lives and illuminated “an era characterized both by drastic cultural changes and by the persistence of old expectations, conventions, and biases” (The New Yorker). “Nobody writes better about falling in love than Alice Adams,” a New York Times critic said of the prolific writer. Born in 1926, Alice Adams grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, during the Great Depression and came of age during World War II. After college at Radcliffe and a year in Paris, she moved to San Francisco. Always a rebel in good-girl’s clothing, Adams used her education, sexual an...
The Literary Reagan
This collection of authentic quotations of Ronald Reagan will appeal to all those interested in the former US President and who seek to understand more about his beliefs and the inner man. For many Americans—conservatives and liberals alike, students and historians, concerned citizens and politicians—Reagan remains a major figure whose legacy still influences political and cultural debates over many core issues, especially those concerning the role, reach, and power of government. Based on Reagan’s own sayings, writings, letters, and essays—not those of aides and speechwriters—this work provides the only comprehensive collection of the man’s own thinking on a full spectrum of relevant topics over his long life. It brings together over 1,500 quotations arranged alphabetically into 64 thematic categories. Most are serious—the Cold War, Communism, Federalism, Foreign Policy, the State—yet some illustrate Reagan the man: Curses, Humor in Adversity, Toasts, and even a small section on Wine.
