How Good an Historian Shall I Be?
￥220.63
R.G. Collingwood's name is familiar to historians and history educators around the world. Few, however, have charted the depths of his reflections on what it means to be educated in history. In this book Marnie Hughes-Warrington begins with the facet of Collingwood's work best known to teachers-re-enactment-and locates it in historically-informed discussions on empathy, imagination and history education. Revealed are dynamic concepts of the a priori imagination and education that tend towards reflection on the presuppositions that shape our own and others' forms of life.
T.H. Green's Theory of Positive Freedom
￥220.63
In this new and entirely revised edition of his study of Green's theory of positive freedom, Ben Wempe argues that the far-reaching and beneficial influence of Green's political doctrine, on public policy as well as in the field of political theory, was founded on a misinterpretation of his philosophical stand, since the metaphysical basis on which Green argued for his political position was largely neglected. The book discusses Green's philosophical development and examines an important, hitherto underrated, influence that went into the formation of his philosophical opinions. It then considers Green's metaphysics and describes how some omissions from the concise version of his metaphysical doctrine, as it is found in his published works, may be remedied by reference to Green's unpublished material.

Bewitching Development
￥211.90
These days, development inspires scant trust in the West. For critics who condemn centralized efforts to plan African societies as latter day imperialism,?such plans?too closely reflect their roots in colonial rule and neoliberal economics. But proponents of this pessimistic view often ignore how significant this concept has become for Africans themselves. In Bewitching Development, James Howard Smith presents a close ethnographic account of how people in the Taita Hills of Kenya have appropriated and made sense of development thought and practice, focusing on the complex ways that development connects with changing understandings of witchcraft.Similar to magic, development's promise of a better world elicits both hope and suspicion from Wataita. Smith shows that the unforeseen changes wrought by development-greater wealth for some, dashed hopes for many more-foster moral debates that Taita people express in occult terms. By carefully chronicling the beliefs and actions of this diverse community-from frustrated youths to nostalgic seniors, duplicitous preachers to thought-provoking witch doctors-BewitchingDevelopment vividly depicts the social life of formerly foreign ideas and practices in postcolonial Africa.

This book began in the Houghton Library at Harvard, where I spent a year reading Donne in his earliest editions and manu*s．The bulk of the book was written while I was a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin, where I enjoyed the tremendous generosity and intellectual vitality of this fine institution．I want to thank the excellent librarians at the Houghton and the superb staff of the Wissenchaftskolleg for providing me with the ideal contexts in which to think and write．The invitations to present my work at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, the University of Wisconsin in Madison, the Freie Universit?t and the Humboldt Universit?t in Berlin, the University of Munich, Florida State University, Columbia University, and Harvard University produced many rich exchanges that have enhanced these chapters, and I am grateful to the many people who made these visits possible．I also want to thank Brandeis University for giving me the time and support I needed to finish this book.I am greatly indebted to the many colleagues and friends who helped me bring this project to fruition．Annabel Patterson has been the most loyal and dedicated of mentors: she read the complete manu* with her characteristic rigor and intelligence, and spent hours with me poring over it page by page．Gordon Teskey read each chapter as soon as it was drafted, and pushed me repeatedly to grapple with both minute details and abstract ideas that I would not have come to myself．Michael Schoenfeldt reviewed the manu* in both its early and final formations, and gently but firmly pushed me towards many of my most important revisions．Richard Rambuss helped me initially to formulate the shape of the project when we organized an SAA seminar together on the Renaissance soul, and his unswerving support and advice in the ensuing years have been incredibly important to me．Arthur Marotti generously read several chapters on Donne’s poetry; Peter McCullough was an invaluable resource for my chapter on the sermons; and Jeffrey Knapp provided a strong, final reading of the finished manu*．My mother, Cheri Kamen Targoff, who was my first editor, remains one of my best．I am very grateful to her, and to my father, Michael Targoff, for their continued dedication and generosity.
For the Many or the Few
￥211.90
I happen to have spent most of my life in states where citizens have the right to propose and pass laws withoutthe consent of their elected representatives. Most Americans are in the same boat; about 70 percent of us live in a city or state where this option—called the “initiative process”—is available. The polls say people like having this right, and most would even add it to the U.S. Constitution if they could. Yet there has always been an undercurrent of concern about the initiative process, especially about the role of money. Money can place a measure, virtually any measure it seems, on the ballot, and money provides access to the costly media where issues are debated.
Raw Food/Real World
￥209.93
Top New York chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney and his partner, Sarma Melngailis, had been thinking of opening a Moroccan restaurant. But one night they were invited to a raw food restaurant -- and it changed their lives. They instead opened Pure Food and Wine, a restaurant devoted to creative, tasty raw food, and it has been drawing rave reviews. Dishes such as Zucchini and Green Zebra Tomato Lasagne, Golden Squash Pasta with Black Summer Truffles, and Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart with Vanilla Cream have given raw food a sexy new appeal.The decision to go raw was shocking at first for these two ex-carnivorous chefs, but they soon found that preparing and eating raw food made them and their guests feel their physical best. Melngailis noticed a difference almost immediately -- "Light, clean, natural, and alive foods make you feel light, clean, and more alive. And sexy." This new way of life has changed their outlook on eating and cooking and connects them to the world around them. As Kenney says, "Raw foods and the lifestyle associated with it are so compelling and complex that we will be forever learning and growing. Already it seems that we have discovered some of the magic that life offers."In this lushly photographed book, Kenney and Melngailis share some of that magic -- and show that preparing and eating raw does not mean bland, unsatisfying, or impossibly time-consuming meals. Using dehydrating, Vita-Mix blending, a nuanced understanding of spices, and unprecedented creativity, they explore a whole new outlook on raw food that transfers beautifully and easily from their kitchen to yours -- no matter what your present diet. And you'll immediately begin to reap the benefits of healthful, delicious, life-giving raw food.
