The Feast
The foreknowledge and fear of death has differentiated humans from animals and gods, giving us a unique place in the world. Thomas Darby takes the sense of time that death entails and shows its underlying presence in various areas of Western philosophy from the early Greeks to Rousseau and Hegel, especially the Hegel interpreted by Kojeve. His book ranges widely over many academic fields - religion, philosophy, semiotics, as well as politics - and offers an astonishing view of what Hegel thought he was doing in relation to Christianity and Napolean. It emphasizes the influence of the mystic Jakob Bohme on Hegel's conceptualization of the human world, and concludes with intimations of the tec...

Things New and Strange
Things New and Strange chronicles a research quest undertaken by G. Wayne Clough, the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution born in the South. Soon after retiring from the Smithsonian, Clough decided to see what the Smithsonian collections could tell him about South Georgia, where he had spent most of his childhood in the 1940s and 1950s. The investigations that followed, which began as something of a quixotic scavenger hunt, expanded as Clough discovered that the collections had many more objects and documents from South Georgia than he had imagined. These objects illustrate important aspects of southern culture and history and also inspire reflections about how South Georgia has c...
Meeting Jimmie Rodgers
Here is the first book to explore the legacy of Jimmie Rodgers, offering a lively look at Rodgers' career, tracing his rise from working-class obscurity to the pinnacle of renown. As Mazor shows, Rodgers brought emotional clarity and a unique sense of narrative drama to every song he performed. But more than anything else, Mazor suggests, it was Rodgers' shape-shifting ability to assume many public personas--working stiff, decked-out cowboy, suave ladies' man--that connected him to a broad public and set the stage for the stars who followed.
