Throughout his career, Eduardo Galeano has turned our understanding of history and reality on its head. Isabelle Allende said his works “invade the reader’s mind, to persuade him or her to surrender to the charm of his writing and power of his idealism.” Mirrors, Galeano’s most ambitious project since Memory of Fire, is an unofficial history of the world seen through history’s unseen, unheard, and forgotten. As Galeano notes: “Official history has it that Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first man to see, from a summit in Panama, the two oceans at once. Were the people who lived there blind??” Recalling the lives of artists, writers, gods, and visionaries, from the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-centu ry New York, of the black slaves who built the White House and the women erased by men’s...

The third volume of Eduardo Galeano’s Memory of Fire trilogy, Century of the Wind offers a panorama of Galeano’s singular vision of the past, turbulent century: from the bucolic New Jersey laboratory of Thomas Alva Edison to the armies of Emiliano Zapata and Fidel Castro to the Reagan-era CIA “neutralizations” in the forests of Latin America. Dizzying, enraging, and beautifully written, Century of the Wind is a sweeping interpretation of the Americas no work of history has previously imagined.

This product of the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton focuses on junctures of animals and humans where the former become objects of the latter's popular conception, scientific study, and economic exchange. But the object of this study is less the animal than the human, a means to flesh out the picture of humanity's treatment of one of its most othered others. Among the 13 articles on animals behind the bars of zoos and laboratories, in the crosshairs, upon plates, and at home, is one by Harriet Ritvo (history, MIT) whose Animal Estate (Harvard, 1987) was an important contribution to humanistic animal studies. Here Ritvo explores how breeders' adoption of Linnaen nomenclature confused differences between notions of pure and impure, wild and domestic, and how... Less

These mid-sized books fit in a purse or inside coat pocket and look stunning when displayed next to the phone in an office or at home. Paperblanks Address Books are one of the most unique, unusual, and planet friendly books available. This British publisher understands how to combine exquisite craftsmanship with environmental commitment. The acid-free paper is made with only sustainable forest pulp. The binder boards are European-made with 100% recycled paper. The company that creates these gems is paying a self-imposed company "carbon tax" proportional to the GHG releases. I could go on about their merits but what is really amazing is that these Address Books look too good to be made out of recycled products.

In this kaleidoscope of reflections, renowned South American author Eduardo Galeano ranges widely, from childhood to love, music, plants, fear, indignity, and indignation. In the signal style of his bestselling Memory of Fire trilogy--brief fragments that build steadily into an organic whole--Galeano offers a rich, wry history that is both calmly philosophical and fiercely political.

“Exuberant, astute, and splendidly illustrated history of world art . . . draws fascinating parallels between artistic developments in Western and non-Western art.”—Publishers WeeklyIn this beautifully written story of art, Julian Bell tells a vivid and compelling history of human artistic achievements, from prehistoric stone carvings to the latest video installations.

With hundreds of illustrations and a uniquely global perspective, Bell juxtaposes examples that challenge and enlighten the reader: dancing bronze figures from southern India, Romanesque sculptures, Baroque ceilings, and jewel-like Persian manuscripts are...

"Good anthologies of natural history are rare. This one is unique, in my experience, for the uniform excellence of the chosen pieces. There are no undisciplined reveries, and nature is reported directly, rather than as a setting for personal introspection. This excellence is no accident, for Beebe himself was a keen observer and a master of the finest expeditionary prose." --Henry S. Horn, Princeton University Anyone curious about animals, nature, or the history of biology will find much of interest in this ample and varied collection. Reflecting his infectious enthusiasm for "the best natural history," Beebe's personal assortment of favorites includes excerpts from massive sources, such as Audubon and Darwin, and intriguing pieces from lesser known authors most of us would not normally...

Free Worldwide Delivery : The Open Veins of Latin America : Paperback : Profile Books Ltd : 9781846687426 : 184668742X : 21 May 2009 : Covers the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation.

Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx.Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and... Less

If social science's "cultural turn" has taught us anything, it is that knowledge is constrained by the time and place in which it is produced. In response, scholars have begun to reassess social theory from the standpoints of groups and places outside of the European context upon which most grand theory is based. Here a distinguished group of scholars reevaluates widely accepted theories of state, property, race, and economics against Latin American experiences with a two-fold purpose. They seek to deepen our understanding of Latin America and the problems it faces. And, by testing social science paradigms against a broader variety of cases, they pursue a better and truly generalizable map of the social world.Bringing universal theory into dialogue with specific history, the contributors...
