This lushly illustrated book belongs in every American library and any home that values diversity and Old World traditions. Dozens of bright, colorful photographs by Blair Seitz make the lively text by Georg R. Sheets a pleasure to behold. I counted dozens of ethnic groups represented in this hard cover large format volume. From the Native American Festival held in Sullivan County to the San Rocco Festival held in Aliquippa, this book makes you feel like you are there. Ukrainians, Italian, Croatians, Irish, Swedish, Lithuanians, and Jewish groups are just a few of the traditions explored here. Take a look at the foods, crafts, parades, festivals, music and holidays that add to the festive Pennsylvania experience reflected around the globe. It's a must for anyone conscious of the fact that we live on a very small globe, indeed.

This book is for the intermediate to advanced student or teacher of yoga who wishes to understand the definitions and inter-relationships between the concepts of classical yoga. For those interested in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, this text will help you access the ideas that lead to liberation. A clear understanding helps one's spiritual practice. This is a short book that is read slowly and digested. It serves as a reference to review from time to time as well. Enjoy! It would be a good gift for someone who is really into yoga, but not the choice for the novice.

Whether one is interested in Marxist theory or in a scholarly treatment of Hegelian philosophy, this new collection of Raya Dunayevskaya's writings on the dialectic in Hegel and Marx is a must-read. _The Power of Negativity_ is a truly compelling book for anyone who wants to delve into Hegel's thought, Marx's relation to dialectics, and the major debates on dialectical philosophy in 20th Century Marxism.

_The Power of Negativity_ illuminates all of this through a range of pieces, including detailed summaries and extensive commentaries on Hegel's most philosophically important works: the Phenomenology of Mind, the Science of Logic, the Encyclopedia Logic, and the Philosophy of Mind. It contains several expositions of Dunayevskaya's unique and thoughtful interpretation of Hegel, as well as of her analysis of "Marx's transformation of Hegel's revolution in philosophy into a philosophy of 'revolution in permanence,'" which presents her views on what is fundamental to a Marxist concept of a new society, from the breakdown of the division between mental and physical labor to the transformation of the relationship between women and men. It contains correspondence with such scholars as Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, George Armstrong Kelly, Louis Dupre, Jonathan Spence, and C.L.R. James, as well as worker-thinkers Charles Denby and Harry McShane; and lectures to audiences as varied as Hegel scholars, African-American workers, and Japanese student radicals. It contains philosophic critiques and commentaries on major theoreticians such as Lukacs, Korsch, Adorno, Frantz Fanon, Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Lenin, Trotsky, Bukharin, Mao, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty, as well as expositions of her own distinctive Marxist-Humanist philosophic standpoint.

Dunayevskaya came of age in the period when Stalin's counter-revolution, coming from within the revolutionary movement, succeeded in transforming what grew out of the Russian Revolution into its opposite, totalitarian state-capitalism that still called itself "Communism." She recognized the Russian Revolution's transformation into opposite as a fundamental challenge to revolutionary Marxism, and set about using Marx's economic categories and Russia's "five-year plan" statistics to prove that Russia had become a state-capitalist society. But she also saw that an economic/political answer was not sufficient and a re-creation of Marx's philosophy of revolution was required to meet the challenge of the age. This led to her founding of the philosophy of Marxist-Humanism, to which an "unchained" version of Hegel's dialectic of absolute negativity is central. As Dunayevskaya put it in one of the pieces in _The Power of Negativity_:

"...because Absolute Negativity signifies transformation of reality, the dialectic of contradiction and totality of crises, the dialectic of liberation, Hegel's thought comes to life at critical points of history, called by him 'birth-times of history.'"

A thorough, clear, and accessible introduction explores the relationship of the dialectic to the nature of the present moment and the relationship of Dunayevskaya's work to contemporary issues in dialectical philosophy. The introduction also gives an overview of her writings on dialectics as well as an overview of the book and its structure, after which the reader is well prepared to plunge into the rest of the book. This book makes a contribution to the clarification of theoretical issues that are central to the problem of transforming reality. One of its virtues is that it provides accessible discussions of some of Hegel and Marx's philosophic works, many in the form of lectures and informal discussions.

Now with a new introduction by Dario Melossi, Punishment And Social Structure by Georg Rusche and Otto Kirchheimer offers significant scholarship in the study of criminology, and one that traces the origin of its ideas to an article written by Georg Rusche in 1933, entitled "Labor Market and Penal Sanction: Thoughts on the Sociology of Criminal Justice". Expanding on the original article's ideas to classify the history of crime into three primary eras - early Middle Ages with emphasis on penance and fines, later Middle Ages marked by severe corporal and capital punishment, and the seventeenth century with its development of the prison system, Punishment And Social Structure is an involving essay about the foundation of society and its treatment of miscreants and a strongly recommended addition to professional and academic Law, Jurisprudence, Penology, and Criminology Studies reference collections and reading lists.

"Rationality To-day" was a colloquium held in Canada in 1979. It has the merit of puting together great names of contemporary philosophy, such as Habermas, Apel, Gadamer, Ricoeur, Dupre, Perelman, and many others, in great papers and antological discussions. A must have for any serious student of philosophy.

This book is spell binding, and others, who read it too, cannot lay it aside, but must finish reading from cover to cover. Not many people were capable to write about their experiences of being captivated by the enemy and kept behind barbed wire for endless years. Most soldiers, who fall prey to this kind of reprisal remain quiet, trying to forget. But can they? And what will happen to many after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? Soldiers will be sent again to do their duty.....
