by: Robert Weil

Softcover. NY, Monthly Review Press, 1st, 1996, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 288 pages. "Robert Weil has written a brilliant, powerfully argued book that cuts through the hogwash pouring from the West and from China about the 'miracle' of the Deng reforms.

This is powerful stuff, must-reading for all those who care about the future of humanity." --William Hinton. Clean, bright copy.

Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present
by: Willis, Deborah

Softcover. NY, W. W. Norton & Company, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 348 pages. Reflections in Black, the first comprehensive history of black photographers, is a groundbreaking pictorial collection of African American life. Featuring the work of undisputed masters such as James VanDerZee, Gordon Parks, and Carrie Mae Weems among dozens of others, this book is a refutation of the gross caricature of black life that many mainstream photographers have manifested by continually emphasizing poverty over family, despair over hope. Nearly 600 images offer rich, moving glimpses of everyday black life, from slavery to the Great Migration to contemporary suburban life, including rare antebellum daguerrotypes, photojournalism of the civil rights era, and multimedia portraits of middle-class families. DUE TO WEIGHT, DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY.

Reforming Sex: The German Movement for Birth Control and Abortion Reform, 1920-1950
by: Atina Grossmann

Hardcover. London/NY, Oxford University Press, 1st, 1995, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 304 pages. Reforming Sex reconstructs the complicated history of a movement that has been romanticized as the harbinger of 1960s sexual radicalism and demonized as a precursor to Nazi racial policy, but mostly buried and obscured by Nazi book-burnings and repression. Relying on a broad range of sources--from police reports, films and personal interviews to sex manuals unearthed from library basements and secondhand book stores--the book analyzes a remarkable mass mobilization during the turbulent and innovative Weimar years of doctors and lay-people for women's right to abortion and public access to birth control and sex education.

Reframing Rembrandt: Jews and the Christian Image in Seventeenth-Century Amsterdam by: Zell, Michael

Reframing Rembrandt: Jews and the Christian Image in Seventeenth-Century Amsterdam
by: Zell, Michael

Hardcover. Berkeley, CA , University of California Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 283 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. A very clean, unmarked copy with only minor wear to dust jacket edges. A tight copy. Black and white illustrations throughout. This richly detailed study reconceptualizes a striking but enigmatic moment in Rembrandt's art from the 1650s--one of the artist's most prolific and creative periods. Michael Zell identifies a significant theological shift in Rembrandt's use of religious imagery and interprets this shift in light of the unique religious and social conditions of seventeenth-century Amsterdam. Rembrandt's biblical art has generally been regarded as the embodiment of a Protestant aesthetic. By looking closely at the artist's relationship with his patron Rabbi Menasseh ben Israel and the ideas of a group of "philosemitic" Protestants with whom the rabbi was engaged in an apologetic dialogue, Zell deepens and complicates our understanding of Rembrandt's sacred art from this period.

Religion, Order, and Law: A Study in Pre-Revolutionary England
by: David Little

Hardcover. NY, Harper and Row, 1st US, 1970, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 269 pages. 'Weber's famous study of the 'affinity' between the rise of rational bourgeois capitalism in England and Calvinist-Puritanism has for almost a century stirred up a cloud of dust and misunderstanding. Toward the end of settling some of the dust no one has previously made such an acute analysis of pre-revolutionary England as has David Little. On the one hand, he has applied and extended Weber's method, especially in the sphere of the law-monopoly and corporation law-thus filling a gap in these studies. He has also delineated the sharply conflicting conceptions of social order and of legitimation. On the the other hand, Little has given an invaluable critical survey of the extensive literature of Weber's thesis. This is a landmark in the study of the complex and varying relations between religion and society.' -James Luther Adams, Harvard Divinity School. Clean copy.
