REGENERATIVE ENDODONTIE

&ldquo;Uncommonly smart and beautifully written . . . [Chris] Jennings&rsquo;s sure grasp never falters. The result is a triumph of scholarship and narration: five stand-alone community studies and a coherent, often spellbinding history of the United States during its tumultuous first half-century. . . . Although never less than evenhanded, and sometimes deliciously wry, Jennings writes with obvious affection for his subjects. To read Paradise Now is to be dazzled, humbled and occasionally flabbergasted by the amount of energy and talent sacrificed at utopia&rsquo;s altar. But then, as Jennings so memorably puts it, &lsquo;Anyone nuts enough to try building heaven on earth is bound for a hell of his own making.&rsquo; &rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review &#160; &ldquo;Writing an impartial, respectful account of these philanthropies and follies is no small task, but Mr. Jennings largely pulls it off with insight and aplomb. Indulgently sympathetic to the utopian impulse in general, he tells a good story. His explanations of the various reformist credos are patient, thought-provoking and . . . entertaining.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;Thoughtful, measured, and surprisingly relevant.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Tribune &ldquo;As a tour guide, Jennings is thoughtful, engaging and witty in the right doses. . . . He makes the subject his own with fresh eyes and a crisp narrative, rich with detail. . . . In the end, Jennings writes, the communards&rsquo; disregard for the world as it exists sealed their fate. But in revisiting their stories, he makes a compelling case that our present-day &lsquo;deficit of imagination&rsquo; could be similarly fated.&rdquo;&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle&ldquo;Chris Jennings is a natural storyteller, and his Paradise Now, a five-part chronicle of America&rsquo;s nineteenth-century utopian dreamers and doers, is the most clear-eyed, sympathetic, and inspiring account I&rsquo;ve read of this vital chapter in American history in decades. What sort of future did they want? The Shakers, Owenites, Fourierists, Icarians, and Oneidans asked and answered the question, each group in its own way.&#160; Chris Jennings prods his readers to ask the question again&mdash;for ourselves.&rdquo;&mdash;Megan Marshall, Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of Margaret Fuller: A New American Life &#160; &ldquo;Jennings knows how to tell a story, and has the intellectual range to recover both the weirdness and wisdom of America&rsquo;s brief bout with utopian illusions and ideals.&rdquo;&mdash;Joseph J. Ellis, author of The Quartet: Orchestrating the Second American Revolution, 1783&ndash;1789 &#160; &ldquo;In a perfect world, work will be irresistibly pleasurable. Women will have equal rights. Money and property will be shared, as will spouses. Or maybe sex won&rsquo;t be allowed at all? Even better! And once the ice caps melt, the sea will taste like lemonade. Bliss! With good humor, a lively style, and a deep knowledge of the historical scholarship, Chris Jennings tells the goofy, heartbreaking tale of nineteenth-century Americans who believed they could bring about heaven on earth, and managed to live out futures that the rest of us haven&rsquo;t yet reached.&rdquo;&mdash;Caleb Crain, author of Necessary Errors &#160; &ldquo;Despite marked differences separating these utopian movements, Jennings prizes in all of them their distinctive&mdash;and utterly American&mdash;optimism in facing a future in which their adherents believed they would usher in a glorious new social order. . . . Readers who resent the constraints of a barren realism will value this deep-probing inquiry into the quest for new social possibilities.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;Jennings proves an able guide to these groups. [His] comprehensive research makes for absorbing reading as he shows how different people attempted to find perfection and how they failed or succeeded.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Christmas in Painted Pony Creek

’Simpson provides us with a fascinating insight into activism in the South. This book fills an important gap, it engages with questions around how environmental movements are responding to the expansion of oil and gas industries in Asia, especially Thailand and Myanmar. It is a must-read for anyone interested in issues around energy, governance and activism.
Rosaleen Duffy, University of Kent, UK 
Adam Simpson offers an excellent and comprehensive study of key environmental campaigns in Myanmar and Thailand. This work examines the core paradox of government projects justified by a discourse of energy security being challenged by movements that fear a resultant increase in environmental insecurity. Just as importantly, Simpson expands our exposure to, and knowledge of, environmental policies and movement responses outside the usual academic focus on northern liberal democracies.
David Schlosberg, University of Sydney, Australia 
Adam Simpson’s new book comprehensively presents some of the most prominent recent environmental campaigns in Myanmar and Thailand while also contributing theoretically to the study of environmental movements under different political regimes and developing the concept of emancipatory environmental activism. ... an exceptionally versatile book ... highly recommended as an excellent study in an emerging field that will be of increasing importance as large-scale energy projects (and opposition to them) continue to spread across the region.
Journal of Contemporary Asia 
This interesting book contributes to the environment and development literature in two key ways. It presents a fine-grained analysis of the background, politics, and challenges concerning energy and local development in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). It also develops an approach within political ecology that considers the politics of local and international activism, and their contributions to governance … This is a valuable and informative book that should be read by scholars of Southeast Asia and environmental activism … It compares local and transnational activism … and provides valuable analysis of how different strategies and contexts provide opportunities for influencing authoritarian regimes.
Environmental Politics
'The book showcases the breadth and depth of Simpson’s research into environmentalism in Thailand and Myanmar, and provides a wealth of empirical data regarding environmental campaigns. … Simpson presents the historical and contemporary environmental politics of Thailand and Myanmar in impressive, fine-grained detail … This ambitious book illuminates many paths for future empirical research and theoretical debate …'

The Journal of Peasant Studies
'Energy, Governance and Security in Thailand and Myanmar essentially contributes to the understanding of the nexus between energy security and environmental governance making it a must read for scholars, policymakers, and activists alike. Among the literature on environmental politics and energy security, Simpson’s framework for the empowerment of emancipatory activism for environmental governance is unique.'
