The Ethics of Nonviolence presents the clear and penetrating thinking of one of the foremost theorists of nonviolence in the world today. The readings not only offer insight into the development of Robert L. Holmes’s thought, but more importantly, they reveal the theoretical and practical heart of his ethic of nonviolence, woven from such disparate threads as the ethics of Dewey, Mill, and Kant, critiques of Robert Nozick’s libertarianism and St. Augustine’s defense of just war, and also Holmes’s own views on such contemporary yet eternal topics as evil, terrorism, and the philosophy of teaching. The final chapters treat readers to both his wisdom and his sense of humor.

The Ethics of Nonviolence

This volume makes a substantial contribution to several disciplines—literary studies, feminist studies, environmental studies, and philosophy as well as animal studies. Donovan (emer., English, Univ. of Maine) has written or edited some dozen previous works, including the acclaimed Feminist Theory: The Intellectual Traditions (CH, Apr'86). Building on foundation laid in The Feminist Care Tradition in Animal Ethics: A Reader, which she coedited with Carol Adams (2007), Donovan takes issue with the ways in which the philosophies of Descartes and Kant have influenced aesthetic theory since the Enlightenment and offers instead a distinctly feminine aesthetics of care focused on nonhuman animals but with far-reaching implications for human interactions with the environment as well. Donovan engages with a range of complex philosophical issues and writes about them with spirit, precision, and astonishing clarity, making her work accessible to a wide interdisciplinary audience. Literary scholars will find that her analysis is enhanced by examples from an array of authors whose works exemplify an “aesthetics of care” tradition, including Sophocles, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Cather, and Woolf. This extraordinary book, written by a mature master teacher, is a remarkable achievement. Summing Up: Essential. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.

This bilingual anthology is a considerable achievement and an excellent complement to Bohn’s The Dada Market: An Anthology of Poetry (1983) and Reading Visual Poetry (2011). Many readers will be indebted to him for his translations of a wide selection of poems in French and Spanish written by poets both famous and unfamiliar. This anthology fills a large gap as it demonstrates the potency of the Surrealist ambition to liberate the imagination and with it poetic language.

Silver Medal Recipient from the Association of Borderlands for the 2009 Past Presidents' Book Award

	"...a very mind-stretching, stimulating book.”  ·   Joan Anderson, University of San Diego (for the ABS Past Presidents’ 2009 Book Award committee)

	“In taking up their consideration of migration without borders, editors Antoine Pécoud and Paul de Guchteneire have assembled an impressive and diverse list of contributors, whose expertise covers many disciplines of the social sciences and, in some cases, also involves direct experience in such international organizations as the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU). Equally compelling is the fact that authors are located in countries of the global North and the global South, and the topical coverage by the authors considers both North and South. Rarely indeed has such systematic attention been paid to a broad comparative context in grappling with the economic, social, human rights, and ethical implications of the idea of ‘migration without borders.’”  ·   Canadian Studies in Population 

	“This long-awaited book…gives a good overview of the issues at stake and offers a survey of the discourses and ethical arguments and the migration rights and regimes in several countries, regions and worldwide…all [chapters] are well written, illustrative and accessible…The volume will…provoke dispute and compels the reader to participate in this fascinating exercise.”  ·   International Migration and Integration

	“The theoretical and practical range in this collection of essays is impressive, and the reader is left with a greater understanding of the complex dimensions that must be considered when governments try to manage the movement of people…All those interested in the future of international migration in a globalizing world will find the research presented in this book to be a stimulating mix of discomforting realities and hopeful possibilities.”  ·   Population, Space, and Place

	“…makes a very interesting read for anyone who wishes to get hold of a comprehensive exposition of the complex dynamics of migratory trends in the globalised world we live in today…This should definitely serve as a core text for anyone involved in policy-making in this area."  ·  CLR News

	“Each essay provides a detailed, well-written overview of the historical development and demographic growth of international migration in the region. These regional essays are miniature masterpieces, and the authors demonstrate encyclopedic knowledge of their subjects. Overall, the book has a far higher degree of thematic coherence and development than most anthologies on global migration….Highly recommended.”  ·  Choice

"Lucy McDiarmid is the most original and important Auden critic to appear in many years. Auden's Apologies for Poetry offers brilliant new readings of the major later works, from New Year Letter to 'The Cave of Making.' This book should mark the beginning of a new understanding of those works and a markedly higher valuing of them. It will compel a fundamental reassessment of the Auden canon."—Samuel Hynes, Princeton University
