New York

The first Dutch colonists arrived in , and by , New Amsterdam had a population of , including Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Spanish, Portuguese, West Indian, Calvinist, Catholic, Lutheran, Puritan and Jewish people. "A kaleidoscope divine," was one of Walt Whitman's many descriptions for New York and its teeming, motley crowds. While a gateway for immigrants and the nation's commercial center since its inception, it was only for a brief period at the nation's birth that New York served as the country's political capital. Over time, the city became the artistic center, the intellectual heart, and the sports capital of America. A place of subways, skyscrapers, jazz, theater, and publishing, the growth of New York is a tribute to the country that nourished and never stops being fascinated by it.

Feminist Interp. Wollstonecraft-PR

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Falco, Maria J., PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, Essays in honor of the bicentennial of the publication of Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman -- a revolutionary work that argued on behalf of the political, economic, and social equality of women. Combining the liberalism of Locke and the "civic humanism" of Republicanism, Mary Wollstonecraft explored the need of women for coed and equal education with men, economic independence whether married or not, and representation as citizens in the halls of government. In doing so, she foreshadowed and surpassed her much better known successor, John Stuart Mill. Ten feminist scholars prominent in the fields of political philosophy, constitutional and international law, rhetoric, literature, and psychology argue here that Wollstonecraft, by reason of the scope and complexity of her thought, belongs in the "canon" of political philosophers along with Rousseau and Burke, her contemporaries, both of whom she strenuously engaged in political debate. These essays explore the many aspects of her thought that resound so tellingly to the modern woman, including her ground-breaking attempt to be completely self-sufficient. The final bibliographical essay outlines the changing interpretations of Wollstonecraft's work over the past two hundred years and evaluates her standing among political theorists today.

The New Wolves

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bass, Rick, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, Lobos, or Mexican wolves, once roamed freely throughout Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas until they were hunted to extinction when big cattle interest came to the Southwest. Now, a Mexican wolf reintroduction -- similar to the Yellowstone efforts for its cousin the gray wolf -- is underway in the Blue Mountains of Arizona. But cattle have overgrazed the fragile land, damaging the ecosystem that barely sustains their vast numbers. Can this environment sustain wolves? With the literary talent and naturalist's sensibility he brought to his highly praised account of a family of wolves in Montana, The Ninemile Wolves, Rick Bass examines the circumstances of the Mexican wolves' arrival: the exhausted soil of the land, the behavior and requirements of wolves, and the concerns of ranchers and environmentalists. "The New Wolves" brings to life a place -- its people and its wildlife, its past and its future. Bass articulates the land's need for wolves to maintain balance, while masterfully depicting the modern conflict between nature and our need to control it. Part meditation, part probing journalism, "The New Wolves" is an important new chapter in the drama of wolves and the American West.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Allen, James / Johnson, Vic / Rimm, Ruth, PUBLISHER: Global Renaissance Society, The timeless classic "As" "a Man Thinketh" is presented against a visually dynamic backdrop of thought-provoking designs simulating modern-day Web browsers, pop-up windows, and video feeds. Combining traditional art and imagery with contemporary, cartoon-like iconography to identify various attitudes, moods, and circumstances this meditation expounds upon the basic premise that a person's thoughts not only influence but actually determine their situation. Through this book's reflections on thought as it relates to character and the effect of thought on circumstances, health and body, purpose, achievement, visions and ideals, and the achievement of serenity, readers can develop an understanding of the relevance of these musings on the human condition and the path to personal development. Further enhancing the presentation, the afterword explores the usage of marginalia in both this account as well as in texts from the Middle Ages to signal nuances and alternate interpretations.

Bruce, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, While much has been written on the ramifications of Newton's dynamics, until now the details of Newton's solution were available only to the physics expert.

In spite of this, the new South Africa shows promise for the future.

The European Central Bank: Credibility, Transparency, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: de Haan, Jakob, Haan Jakob / Haan, Jakob De / Eijffinger, Sylvester C. W., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The adoption of the euro in by 11 member states of the European Union created a single currency area second in economic size only to the United States. The euro zone's monetary policy is now set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and its Governing Council rather than by individual national central banks. This CESifo volume examines issues that have arisen in the first years of ECB monetary policy and analyzes the effect that current ECB policy strategy and structures may have in the future. After a detailed description and assessment of ECB monetary policy making that focuses on such issues as price stability and the predictability of policy decisions, the book turns to two important issues faced by European central bankers: the transparency and credibility of decision making and the ECB's decentralized structure. After showing that transparency in decision making enhances credibility, the book discusses the ECB's efforts at openness, its political independence as guaranteed by law, and its ultimate accountability. The book then considers the effects of the decentralized ECB structure, focusing on business cycle synchronization, inflation differentials, and differences in monetary policy transmission in light of the enlargement of the monetary union. The book also discusses options for ECB institutional reforms, including centralization, vote weighting, and cross-border regional banks.
