"The Earthwise Herbal Repertory is an incredibly impressive achievement. While homeopathic repertories are legion, in modern herbal literature we have a very limited collection of works; this is an important and much-needed addition to the published sources of herbal specifics. It will help Western herbalists better understand their materia medica and achieve superior results with their clients. It also helps lay a foundation for the further development of herbal medicine&mdash;one rooted in the past, but continuing to grow and look to the future."&mdash;David Winston, registered herbalist (AHG), president of Herbalists & Alchemists &#160; &ldquo;Matthew Wood's style of herbalism is deeply important to the modern world.&#160;He reminds us of the deeper intricate and energetic workings of plants.&#160;If I want to truly get to the heart of a plant, I read up on what he has to say.&rdquo;&mdash;Jonathan Keyes, acupuncturist, author of Guide to Natural Health  &#160; "Matthew Wood's writing leaves me simultaneously pondering,&#160;blown away, inspired, and a bit giddy. Few people have the ability to pull in and weave together&#160;as many different strands of herbalism into such a beautiful tapestry. I'm deeply grateful&#160;to live in a world with his perspective."&mdash;Jim McDonald, herbalist at&#160;herbcraft.org

&ldquo;In her excellent oral history of the tumultuous events of 1969 and 1970, . . . [Clara Bingham] does a fine job conjuring the sense of a looming apocalypse. . . . It&rsquo;s surprising to be reminded how many of the decade&rsquo;s signature events occurred in a single year. Woodstock. The trial of the Chicago Eight. The My Lai massacre. The first efforts to publish the &lsquo;Pentagon Papers.&rsquo; Altamont. The rise of the Weather Underground. The invasion of Cambodia. Kent State. The bombing of the Army Math Research Center in Madison, Wis. Witness to the Revolution offers an impressive list of actual witnesses to these events and more, including some sharp contextual asides explaining the rise of the antiwar movement and the fallout from its messy end. . . . Especially for younger generations who didn&rsquo;t live through it, Witness to the Revolution is a valuable and entertaining primer on a moment in American history the likes of which we may never see again.&rdquo;&mdash;Bryan Burrough, The Wall Street Journal &#160; &ldquo;A gripping oral history of the centrifugal social forces tearing America apart at the end of the &rsquo;60s . . . This is rousing reportage from the front lines of US history.&rdquo;&mdash;O: The Oprah Magazine &#160;&ldquo;[One of the] best paperbacks of 2017 so far . . . The book is a rich tapestry of a volatile period in American history.&rdquo;&mdash;Time &ldquo;[An] Enthralling and brilliant chronology of the period between August 1969 and September 1970.&rdquo;&mdash;Buffalo News &#160; &ldquo;The familiar voices and the unfamiliar ones are woven together with documents to make this a surprisingly powerful and moving book.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Times Book Review &#160; &ldquo;[Bingham] captures the essence of these fourteen months through the words of movement organizers, vets, students, draft resisters, journalists, musicians, government agents, writers, and others. . . . This oral history will enable readers to see that era in a new light and with fresh sympathy for the motivations of those involved. While Bingham&rsquo;s is one of many retrospective looks at that period, it is one of the most immediate and personal.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist &#160; &ldquo;An engrossing oral history of the youth rebellion of the 1960s . . . [A] remarkable account of the anti-war movement . . . There are revealing stories about Weathermen on the lam, government sabotage and surveillance, courtroom theatrics, police riots, President Richard Nixon&rsquo;s late-night meeting with protesters at the Lincoln Memorial, the Pentagon Papers, and the incessant organizing behind events that &lsquo;would profoundly and permanently change the nation.&rsquo; The cast is a who&rsquo;s who of the &rsquo;60s: Daniel Ellsberg, Jane Fonda, Julius Lester, and others, from undercover FBI agents to rock musicians, most of whom offer sharp insights into the period. . . . People like Bingham (b. 1963), who &lsquo;missed the party,&rsquo; may be astonished by aspects of this tumultuous story. Baby boomers will find themselves infuriated once again by vivid accounts of the My Lai massacre, the Kent State and Jackson State shootings, and other tumultuous events.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;Witness to the Revolution is vivid, compelling, and addictively readable. Clara Bingham&#160;has captured the lightning of the 1960s in a jar, where it blows the reader&rsquo;s socks off. Whether you lived through this period or want to know what you missed, this is a popular history everyone should read.&rdquo;&mdash;Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money&ldquo;For those who &lsquo;missed the sixties&rsquo; (like most of us, whether demographically or spiritually), this vital book goes a long way toward explaining the original wound that festers in our &lsquo;culture wars&rsquo; still. Witness to the Revolution is to the counterculture what Howell Raines&rsquo;s My Soul Is Rested is to the civil rights movement, a pageant of humanness that induces throat-clogging wonder at then and now.&rdquo;&mdash;Diane McWhorter, Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of Carry Me Home&ldquo;At once reliving and reflecting on the end of the 1960s, the voices in Witness to the Revolution provide a compelling history and an authentic testimony of a turbulent time. As we live through a new moment of political turmoil, it&rsquo;s critical that we revisit an era when arguments over politics and culture were palpable, urgent, and revolutionary. Clara Bingham takes us there.&rdquo;&mdash;Gay Talese, author of A Writer&rsquo;s Life &#160; &ldquo;The cities and campuses were blowing up, the races and generations were at war, sex, drugs, and violence gripped our young. How the hell did that happen? Clara Bingham, a gifted reporter with a great sense of story, tells us in this moving, funny, horrifying, clarifying book. This is the best sixties book since Edie.&rdquo;&mdash;Evan Thomas, author of Being Nixon &#160; &ldquo;In her compelling and dramatic oral history of that fleeting moment when America seemed to be a nation on the brink, Clara Bingham directs the choir of Woodstock Nation&mdash;an artfully composed collection of voices of those who went &lsquo;up the country&rsquo; or on a &lsquo;long strange trip,&rsquo; those sent off to Southeast Asia and others who stayed home and were driven mad by the Vietnam War. Singing a song of would-be revolution, this collection of antiwar veterans, Black Panthers, radicals, rock stars, and others who let their freak flags fly, not to mention a few Nixon intimates and fellow travelers, defies the notion that if you remember it, you weren&rsquo;t there. Vivid, vibrant, and crackling with energy, Witness to the Revolution takes you to the exact spot where the wave of the sixties, the Movement, and the Age of Aquarius crested. You can almost smell the tear gas.&rdquo;&mdash;Nick Turse, author of Kill Anything That Moves &#160; &ldquo;Witness to the Revolution is a remarkable oral history, deftly weaving together vivid characters, traumatic events, and fractious movements. As we stand again as witnesses to a vertiginous period of change and challenge, Bingham&rsquo;s book is powerfully relevant. Above all, it is a vibrant and critical guide to a time that changed our nation forever.&rdquo;&mdash;Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation

"This is a very good introduction of the capability approach [...] The book provides a well-edited, serious-minded introduction to the ideas behind the capability approach and its application in multiple contexts. [...] The scope of this book should advance the application of the cpaability approach and is an invaluable resource for those interested in its theoretical aspects and applications." - Peter Larmour, The Australian National University, in Journal of Southeast Asian Economics, Vol 30, August 2013

"If you're holding this book, standing there at a bookstore, wondering if a book like this is a dumb idea, open it up and you'll soon admit this book is very funny, lacking in all bullshit, and never dumb. If you're holding this book, presuming it to be funny and smart and lacking in bullshit, you will be glad to know it is all those things, but it also tells the truth. About 4 or 5 books a year tell the truth, and this is one of them."Dave Eggers"I went into college armed only with a trash bag used as luggage, a boom box held together with duct tape, and a battered 1965 Chevy. I so needed this guide back then. I am jealous of people who have it now."Sherman Alexie"Suck it, Proust. This book about stuff is much better than those things you wrote."Gary Shteyngart"You may have read every college guidebook on the market, but it's pretty much guaranteed that none of them will tell you the things you really need to know about university life . . .&#160;How To Be A Person, written by Lindy West, Dan Savage, Christopher Frizzelle, and Bethany Jean Clement, will give you advice on everything you were too embarrassed to ask about."The Huffington Post"Don't be fooled by the bitingly funny humor.

Kearny&rsquo;s March&#160;is for those who long to relive those exciting and dangerous days&mdash;and more particularly for those happy just to read about them.

[Groom] engages, informs and entertains the reader all at once, so that one comes away from his nonfiction books feeling good about what&rsquo;s been so effortlessly learned. . . . The book&rsquo;s main focus is the incredible march west by Gen. Stephen Watts Kearny in 1846, but significant parallel themes include the Mexican War, the Mormon exodus, the Santa Fe and Oregon trails, the Donner Party, and the conquest of California. These are all well-known events and have been oft-related through the years.

Kearny's March

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, Starred reviewThe subtitle for this engrossing work is also the name of the first religion-oriented exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution&rsquo;s National Museum of American History. This landmark study of the role of religion in the early history of the U.S.&mdash;from the mid-17th century to the mid-19th century&mdash;demonstrates how deeply religion influenced America&rsquo;s founders and their descendants. Most readers will be unable to visit the exhibit itself, but they will find much to inspire them in this lushly illustrated volume. Readers will be surprised to find a letter from George Washington to the Hebrew congregations; others will be amazed to learn that Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of the Qur&rsquo;an. Each of the articles is accompanied by a photo of the historical artifact that informs the chapter&rsquo;s subject. Individually, the exhibits describe aspects of the role religion played in our ancestors&rsquo; lives; together they form a testament to the passion the nation&rsquo;s founders displayed for spirituality. This is a wonderful, inspiring collection.&#160;(May)
