Political Essay on the
Island of Cuba
A Critical Edition
Alexander von Humboldt
Edited and translated by Vera M.
Kutzinski and Ottmar Ette
“This latest translation . . . . brings
Humboldt, the man, to a new level
of understanding. The authors show
Humboldt as a humanist who shows
emotions and displays strong opin-
ions about certain issues of social
importance, such as his disdain for
slavery. Furthermore, Humboldt
dared to contradict the publications
of many of his predecessors and
contemporaries who wrote without
ever setting foot in the New World.
It is precisely this aspect that makes
the book a valuable addition to the
literature.”—Choice

The End is Nigh
A History of Natural Disasters
Henrik Svensen
Translated by John Irons
“Svensen is foremost a dazzling
storyteller, and in the book we are
confronted with many destinies and
places. We wander the streets when
the earthquake hit Lisbon in 1755,
and we are cunningly led through
the political struggles following the
disaster.”—Prosa

“While Gilles Deleuze complained
that ‘the history of philosophy
plays a patently repressive role’

figures (Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche,
Heidegger, Sartre, Derrida), the

and convincing, and has many
other virtues besides. While firmly
rooted in the philosophical tradi-

to people for whom freedom—and
lack of it—is a real and pressing

The Mapping of New
Spain
Indigenous Cartography and the Maps
of the Relaciones Geograficas
Barbara E. Mundy
To learn about its territories in the
New World, Spain commissioned
a survey of Spanish officials in
Mexico between 1578 and 1584,
asking for local maps as well as
descriptions of local resources,
history, and geography. Barbara
Mundy illuminates both the
Amerindian (Aztec, Mixtec, and
Zapotec) and the Spanish traditions
represented in these maps and traces
the reshaping of indigene world
views in the wake of colonization.

Caravaggio
Patrick Hunt
Caravaggio was the most revolution-
ary artist of the Italian Baroque.
The intensity and drama of his
chiaroscuro style is matched only
by his life. Outlaw, heretic, mur-
derer and sensualist are some of
the charges brought against him
by his contemporaries. Beyond his
penchant for unidealized represen-
tations of life, Caravaggio’s work
addressed a number of issues that
are as compelling today as they were
in the early seventeenth century.

Rembrandt’s Late
Religious Portraits
Arthur K. Wheelock Jr.
One of the most fascinating aspects
of Rembrandt’s extraordinary artis-
tic career is his suite of brooding
half-length portraits of religious
figures from the late 1650s and early
1660s. Painted during a difficult
time in the artist’s life, these sev-
enteen images are among the most
evocative Rembrandt created. For
years scholars have debated whether
these paintings were intended as
a series, yet until now these works
have never been shown together.

November
Gerhard Richter
With an Essay by Dieter Schwarz
November presents Richter’s series
of the same name, comprised of ink
drawings that he created throughout
the month of November 2008. The
series began by accident: Richter
dripped ink onto a sheet of highly
absorbent paper, then quickly real-
ized that the spill formed two imag-
es, different but related, on the front
and the back of the page. Intrigued,
he began manipulating the ink.
This book presents all fifty-four
drawings that resulted, as facsimiles,
along with an explanatory text by
Dieter Schwarz setting November in
the context of Richter’s career.

Heath Robinson (1872–1944) was
Britain’s “Gadget King”—master
of the art of creating madcap con-

weights, and pulleys to perform
relatively simple tasks, from wart
removal to peeling potatoes. A true
cartoonist, Robinson has a way of
getting at the heart of the matter
while simultaneously satirizing it
mercilessly. In these four books, the
Bodleian Library brings together
thematic collections of Robinson’s
characteristic brand of British
humor.

I Feel So Good
The Life and Times of Big Bill Broonzy
Bob Riesman
With a Foreword by Peter Guralnick and
an Appreciation by Pete Townshend
“Big Bill Broonzy was one of the
most influential African American
blues artists in the 1930s and 1940s
and the leading figure in the spread
of blues to Europe in the 1950s. Up
to now, much of his life has been
shrouded in mystery and fable,
largely created by Broonzy himself.
Bob Riesman’s book lifts the veil
and reveals a life that was every
bit as interesting as the legend.”—

Bach
Martin Geck
Bach expert Martin Geck shows us
Bach in his time, offering a portrait
of the personal, political and social
circumstances that shaped some of
the greatest music ever written. It
analyzes Bach’s musical achievement
and considers why music such as the
“Brandenburg Concertos” and the
“St. Matthew Passion” continues to
hold its appeal centuries later.

portrait compels the reader.”—

Richard Wagner
A Life in Music
Martin Geck
Translated by Stewart Spencer
“Geck describes a Wagner who is
grounded, focused and even cau-
tious, a savvy realist and ironist
rather than a flamboyant, flailing
ideologue. . . . Suffused with his
readings of contemporary produc-
tions of the operas, Geck’s musical
analyses are succinct and superb,
and he is skilled at finding clues
to Wagner in the interstices of his
career, like the early rarity ‘Rienzi’
or what he calls ‘the revolutionary
drafts’ of never-completed works
that Wagner envisioned before
embarking on the ‘Ring’ cycle.”—

The Letters of Arturo
Toscanini
Arturo Toscanini
Edited and Translated by Harvey Sachs
“In his correspondence, [Toscanini]
was passionate, sometimes comically
juvenile, often seething with rage,
misanthropic, not intellectually
sophisticated but widely curious,
heroically principled about certain
big issues, and wholly unprin-
cipled when it came to issues like
marital fidelity. . . . Toscanini’s
large, cranky humanity comes alive

his best recordings.”—New York

Imagining a World without Darwin
Peter J. Bowler
“Peter J. Bowler explores the devel-
opment of evolutionary biology
sans the grand old bearded one. . . .
Removing Darwin from the picture
altogether might be seen as rather
drastic and many will raise an eye-

How Evolution Shapes Our Health and

Jeremy Taylor
“Attempts to trace the evolutionary

Darwin’s Sacred Cause
Race, Slavery and the Quest for Human
Origins
Adrian Desmond and James Moore
Desmond and Moore reveal
Darwin’s passionate hatred of slav-
ery. Slavery was a “sin,” and abol-
ishing it became his “sacred cause.”
By extending the abolitionists’ idea
of human brotherhood to all life,
Darwin developed our modern view
of evolution. Desmond and Moore
argue that only by acknowledging
Darwin’s abolitionist heritage can
we fully understand the develop-
ment of his groundbreaking ideas.

Scientific Babel
How Science Was Done Before and

Michael D. Gordin
“For centuries, scholars have written
of their desire to read the Book of
Nature, even as they composed their
own books in a gaggle of tongues.
Today, however, scientists share
their work in just one: English.
That unprecedented linguistic
winnowing—driven as much by
utopian dreams as by the shatter-
ing disruptions of war—reveals
far-ranging changes in how, where,
why, and by whom science has
been done. Fascinating.”—David

The American Game
Capitalism, Decolonization, World

John D. Kelly
The American approach to global

global economy itself, imposes its
own rules on a game played to win.
Kelly cleverly uses the quintessential
American game of baseball to show
how the United States maintains
and advances its dominance over
other nations. A thought-provoking
read, The American Game could well
revolutionize our understanding
of the United States’ influence on
global politics and economics.

both scholarly and accessible and,
sometime even, playful with such

Personae
A Novel
Sergio De La Pava
“Personae is. . . . the most galvaniz-
ing meditation on the possibilities
and ramifications of artistic process
that I have read in recent memory. .
. . [It] is a love story about a writer
who finds his ideal reader. What’s
more, the novel suggests that every
act or reading can live up to the
same standard, and that this futile
pursuit qualifies as beauty.”—

instead becomes an Allied spy in
fascist Italy; and Emile Gillieron,
who accompanies Heinrich

national and personal in its con-

as it is serious.”—Financial Times

both personal and political, realistic

“Looks at the generation that came

titles covered the 1960s and 1970s. .
. . His opening chapter, in which his
marvelous ear for idiomatic speech
is revealed as much through narra-

cepts he will explore: the vagaries of
love, the odd consorting of dignity
and temptation, and, yes, the fragil-

The Great Derangement
Climate Change and the Unthinkable
Amitav Ghosh
“Resistance to the grim realities of
climate change is so widespread that
the crisis barely figures in literary
fiction, notes writer Amitav Ghosh.
Branding our era of denial and iner-
tia the Great Derangement, Ghosh
looks in turn at literature, history
and politics to examine this failure.
. . . The solution, he argues, lies in
collective action as well as scientific
and governmental involvement —
