Newhouse
Newhouse is the first full-scale biography of the turbulent life and business career of Samuel I. Newhouse, Jr., who could arguably be described as the most powerful private citizen in America. Controlling a fortune estimated to be in excess of thirteen billion dollars, Si and his brother Donald are richer than the Queen of England, or Bill Gates, or Ross Perot, or any of the Kennedys, Rockefellers, or Hearsts. But Newhouse is not primarily about the accumulation of money by a family that two generations ago was literally impoverished. Rather, it is a book about power.

These works have inspired several generations of students of Indian religion and culture. All the papers in this volume testify to Zimmer's originality and to his rightful place in that small group of great scholars who were part of the first generation to confront the end of European empires in India and the rest of Asia. In her introduction, Margaret Case contrasts Zimmer's approach to India with that ...
A Narrative of the Case of Miss. Margaret McAvoy
Excerpt from A Narrative of the Case of Miss. Margaret McAvoy: With an Account of Some Optical Experiments Connected With It The publication of the following narrative has been deferred partly on account of the frequent attacks of disease to which Miss M'Avoy has been liable even to the present time, hut more particularly from the wish I had, that individuals who were sceptical upon the subject, should, by frequent examinations, ascertain the fact of deception, or the contrary. In an investigation of this nature, a cool and dispassionate judgement should be encouraged, and a hasty and prejudiced opinion avoided; but it is not easy to obtain this happy medium.
