Historical Dictionary of Contemporary American Theater
Historical Dictionary of Contemporary American Theater. Second Edition covers theatrical practice and practitioners as well as the dramatic literature of the United States of America from 1930 to the present.

Black Crusader
The 2008 Photo Illustrated Edition of Robert Carl Cohen's 1972 biography of Robert Franklin Williams, advocate of armed self-defense in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, and prophet of ghetto uprisings and a Socialist Revolution. The story of how an easily contented youngster who dreamed of becoming a poet was transformed into an archenemy of the U.S. power structure. Included in these pages are historically significant events such as Williams' talks with Fidel Castro and Mao Tse-Tung, details of the infighting within the Cuban Communist Party, his meeting with Che Guevara, and impressions of life in China during the first years of the "Great Cultural Revolution." This new edition is illustrated with previously unpublished photos of Williams & his wife, Mabel, in exile in Cuba and Africa. KIRKUS REVIEWS: "The education of one Black man you should not miss, and certainly cannot dismiss."
Death and the Afterlife
"In Death and the Afterlife, philosopher Samuel Scheffler poses this thought experiment in order to show that the continued life of the human race after our deaths--the "afterlife" of the title--matters to us to an astonishing and previously neglected degree. Scheffler shows that in certain important respects, the future existence of people who are as yet unborn matters more to us than our own continued existence and the continued existence of those we love. Without the expectation that humanity has a future, many of the things that now matter to us would cease to do so. By contrast, the prospect of our own deaths does little to undermine our confidence in the value of our activities. Despit...
