Beyond C. L. R. James brings together essays analyzing the interconnections among race, ethnicity, and sport. Published in memory of C. L. R. James, the revolutionary sociologist and writer from Trinidad who penned the famous autobiographical account of cricket titled Beyond a Boundary, this collection of essays, many of which originated at the 2010 conference on race and ethnicity in sport at the University of West Indies, Cave Hill in Barbados, cover everything from Aborigines in sport and cricket and minstrel shows in Australia to Zulu stick fighting and football and racism in northern Ireland. The essays, divided into four sections that include introductory comments by each editor, are written by some of the more well-known sport historians in the world and characterized by a focus on the role of culture and sport in society in the context of both political economies and the state as well as colonial and postcolonial struggles. Included also are discussions on how sport at once brings people together, shapes the identities of its participants, and reflects the continuing search for social justice.

The 400 million copy worldwide bestseller Dean Koontz is at his very best in this critically-acclaimed page-turner – soon to be a major motion picture. Find out why Odd Thomas is the master storyteller’s most-loved creation. Odd by name, a hero by nature. He’s Odd. Odd Thomas, to be precise. Genius fry-cook at the Pico Mundo grill; boyfriend to the gorgeous Stormy Llewellyn – and possibly the only person with a chance of stopping one of the worst crimes in the bloody history of murder… Something evil has come to the desert town that Odd and Stormy call home. It comes in the form of a mysterious man with a macabre appetite, a filing cabinet full of information on the world’s worst killers, and strange, hyena-like shadows following him wherever he goes. Odd is worried. He knows things, sees things – about the living, the dead and the soon to be dead. Things that he has to act on. Now he’s terrified for Stormy, himself and Pico Mundo. Because he knows that on Wednesday August 15, a savage, blood-soaked whirlwind of violence and murder will devastate the town. Today is August 14. And Odd is far from sure he can stop the coming storm…

William Gilmore Simms's (1806-1870) body of work, a sweeping fictional portrait of the colonial and antebellum South in all its regional diversity, with its literary and intellectual issues, is probably more comprehensive than any other nineteenth-century southern author. Simms's career began with a short novel, Martin Faber, published in 1833. This Gothic tale is reminiscent of James Hogg's Confessions of a Sinner and was written four years before Edgar Allan Poe's "e;William Wilson."e; Narrated in the first person, it is considered a pioneering examination of criminal psychology. Martin seduces then murders Emily so that he might marry another woman, Constance. Martin confesses to his friend and is killed after attempting to stab Constance when she visits him in jail. The book was immediately successful and was well received by the northern media, thus starting Simms's successful career as a writer, one that would rank him as the only major southern literary figure besides Poe before the Civil War. As with other volumes in the Arkansas Edition of Simms's work, this volume includes a critical introduction by the editor and a Simms chronology, as well as appendices dealing with textual matters. This edition also includes Simms's 1829 story, "e;Confessions of a Murderer,"e; which was the germ for his first book of fiction.

The Arkansas Gazette was born in a log cabin November 20, 1819, on a bank of the Arkansas River. A local establishment donated a barrel of whiskey to celebrate the event. The first issue carried a complaint from a citizen that the town had too many lawyers. When the paper died 167 years later, the problem was not lawyers but corporate executives who had found themselves, to their confusion, in charge of the oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi and not knowing what to do with it.

戴逸先生主要从事中国史研究，在清史、中国近代史领域尤有专长，他是国家清史编纂委员会主任，是中国当代少有的贯通清代前后期历史的清史研究大家。同时，他把清史放到世界背景下思考、讨论，学术视野开阔。无论是以其个人学术成果开拓重要研究领域，还是以其声望与影响推动中国清代历史研究的发展，他都卓有建树。国务院副总理马凯曾说：“戴逸先生和张卓元先生心怀祖国，言传身教，桃李满天下，取得了一系列优秀成果；他们几十年如一日，始终保持对学术的热爱和追求，不追风，不赶潮，独立思考，令人敬佩，令人感动。” 戴逸先生治学多年，笔耕不辍，其中《中国抗战史演义》作于1951年，在全国刚刚解放、不少人对中国共产党及其领导下的八路军、新四军在抗日战争中的中流砥柱作用不甚了解的情况下，这本普及型读物有着极大的社会效益。《中国近代史稿》是新中国成立以后先从思想理论角度撰写历史的近代史著作，梳理了整个近代史的脉络。从1978年起，戴逸先生用7年时间主持编写了70余万字的《简明清史》，摸清了清代历史的主要线索；在《1689年的中俄尼布楚条约》中，利用中、俄双方大量的官方档案和私人文献，再现了条约谈判的全过程，为中国政府处理中苏边境问题提供了珍贵的参考和备要，以崭新的思维方式开创了中国研究清朝边疆史的先河。2003年1月28日，清史编纂工程正式启动，戴逸先生受命担任清史编纂委员会主任。在纂修工作中实事求是，尊重历史，既要还原历史真实，又要反映时代精神，既要继承前人研究成果，又要勇于学术创新，既要理清中国历史的发展脉络，又要联系世界历史的发展。以史实为依据，去伪存真，去粗取精，避免主观臆断。要使新《清史》成为一部观点鲜明、内容充实、史料丰富、文笔生动的高水平的史书，尽量使思想性与学术性达到完美统一，使新《清史》成为传世佳作。同时，在编纂新《清史》工作中，注重培养出一批优秀的中青年清史专家。 所以说，戴逸先生著作等身，他的著作对学界和非专业大众读者都产生了深远的影响，这种影响经久不衰。而戴先生从未有过文集出版，他的著述散见各处，没有经过系统整理编排，尤其是主持编纂《清史》以来的文章尚未经过系统整理，这一直是学界一大憾事。此次出版文集，系统整理了戴先生治学之初至今的全部著述。《戴逸文集》拟选取其中有代表性的著述，包括专著、文章（专论、随笔、序跋）、讲演、采访记等等，分门别类后、按照时间排序，精编成10卷本的文集，总规模约700万字。因此这部《戴逸文集》的意义不言而喻，它既是戴先生多年治学的成果精华，也是后辈学人研究清史和近代史的之书。 《戴逸文集》对历史学学科建设具有重大意义，带有战略性、前瞻性，研究成果属国内一流水平，并具有相当大的国际学术影响。

“一介书生”，是费孝通对自己一生的定位和概括。作为20世纪中国享有国际盛誉的卓越学者和社会活动家，他笔耕不辍，著述等身，为后人留下了700余万字的作品。“费孝通经典作品集”共计8种12册，153万字，包涵了他对乡土、民族与世界、学术方法和文化自觉等多个角度和层面的所思所想，所选文章皆朴素易懂，意味深长。其中既有《江村经济》《乡土中国》《乡土重建》《生育制度》这样有关中国乡村经济与社会文化结构特质的经典论述，也有异域行走记录《重访英伦》和《美国与美国人》，从跨文化与比较人类学的视野对西方民族与世界进行观察剖析；既有《社会调查自白》这样凝练一生的治学门径与创新方法，也有晚年富有中国文人特色、融生活与职业为一体的自由书写《杂写集》五册。是阅读、理解费孝通，理解中国乡土社会变革与文化变迁的上佳之选。
