&ldquo;This slim, salient volume will open readers&rsquo; eyes wide to the true human stories behind blaring headlines about immigration policies and debates.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review&ldquo;Incredibly emotive and beautifully written, When I Walk Through That Door, I Am is a must read.&rdquo;&mdash;Bustle&ldquo;Jimmy Baca&rsquo;s new book brilliantly reimagines the epic poem&mdash;and reshapes the epic hero as a young immigrant woman struggling to escape violence and find the child that has been torn away from her. A work that speaks strikingly and passionately of our times.&rdquo;&mdash;Richard Blanco, inaugural poet and author of How to Love a Country&ldquo;[Baca] writes with unconcealed passion . . . both an intense lyricism and transformative vision.&rdquo;&mdash;Denise Levertov&ldquo;[Baca&rsquo;s] voice, brutal and tender, is unique in America.&rdquo;&mdash;Ilan Stavans, The Nation&ldquo;What makes [Baca&rsquo;s poetry] a success is its honesty, a brutal honesty, as well as his original imagery and the passion of his writing.&rdquo;&mdash;Gary Soto, The San Francisco Chronicle&ldquo;To read Jimmy Santiago Baca&rsquo;s poetry is to tramp across the uneven terrain of human experience, sometimes lulled by the everydayness of work or relationships, and then dazzled by a flood of emotion or vibrant observation.&rdquo;&mdash;Western American Literature

On The Borders of State Power

A Chronological Introduction To The History Of The Church (1845)

"We desperately need a solid historical overview of Gnosticism which is historically credible and yet not too academic to put it out of reach of the average reader and this book is it. To get a good handle on what Gnosticism really is (and isn&rsquo;t), a great place to start is with Gnostic Philosophy by Tobias Churton."

"The justification to others of what we take to be the foundation of the human-rights ideas eventually reaches an impasse beyond which no argument can take us. Here, the debate is moved forward not by answers but by questions, new perspectives, and thoughtful reconsiderations of older ones. In this Kohen excels. Reading his discussion of other authors is like sitting in the classroom of a gifted teacher, listening to clear, fair-minded, even generous critiques of complex arguments delivered in a style both pleasant and engaging."
Perspectives on Politics 6.2, 2008 

"Kohen’s locating human rights in a deliberative process has much to recommend it. Namely, its construction of rights in a free and equal discourse is by definition more inclusive and respectful of differing practices and traditions than the Enlightenment approaches that Rorty condemned… Kohen’s program will be viewed sympathetically amongst many in liberal democracies with robust histories of such traditions. But it is an open question whether or not non-liberal societies – or even newly emerging ones like Russia – are prepared to meet Kohen’s challenge. Nevertheless, In Defense of Human Rights represents a fine contribution to the growing literature on its chosen subject and must be regarded as essential reading for all engaged with these matters."
Philosophy in Review, 2007

"Kohen’s proposal to defend human rights in terms of a consensus that is global in scope (rather than in metaphysical claims about human nature), if it can be confirmed by historical and contemporary empirical investigation, is a significant improvement over justifications of human rights offered by Perry, Gewirth, and Dworkin, not only in my view, but also in terms of the criteria of inclusivity, persuasiveness, and practicality that Kohen defends."

"...An enduring love story." &mdash;Publishers Weekly starred review"A brave and important story, told with candor, love and useful information.&#160;Before I Forget&#160;offers a real glimpse into what Alzheimer&rsquo;s actually looks like in a loved one, and sheds a hopeful light on why this disease needs much more research, funding, and attention."&mdash;Kimberly Williams-Paisley, actor and&#160;author of&#160;Where the Light Gets In"What&#160;an amazing couple and what an amazing book! It is medically and scientifically accurate, and yet places this devastating disease in the context of a beautiful and intimate relationship. We must do better as a community, in our families and within our government in responding to this disease. African-Americans are especially called upon to get more involved in&#160;the research as this disease disproportionately impacts us."&mdash;Dr. David Satcher, Former Surgeon General of the United States&#160;&ldquo;B. and her husband Dan made it to the top by breaking through societal barriers. Now they are facing down her heart- breaking diagnosis and fighting to live each day with love and dignity. Read Before I Forget to understand how Alzheimer&rsquo;s tests both patient and family. Admire their courage, honesty, and how they use their celebrity to advocate for research and prevention.&rdquo;&mdash;Meryl Comer, president of the Geoffrey Beene Foundation Alzheimer's Initiative and&#160;author of Slow Dancing With A Stranger: Lost and Found in the Age of Alzheimer's"Before I Forget,&#160;Dan Gasby's valentine to his wife, B. Smith, courageously&#160;lifts the veil that shields those with Alzheimer's. It&#160;is&#160;moving&#160;testimony to the power of love and the true meaning of what "in sickness and health" really means. Before I Forget&#160;is, quite simply, unforgettable."&mdash;George and Trish Vradenburg, Co-Founders, USAgainstAlzheimer's

&ldquo;Lipstadt&rsquo;s book [is] crucial for understanding the dismaying resurgence of antisemitism&mdash;on both the right and the left.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Randy Rosenthal, The Washington Post&ldquo;Lipstadt aims not to break new scholarly ground but to awaken her audience to the nature, persistence and scale of the threat, along with the insidious ways in which it seeks to disguise itself.&#160; She succeeds . . . She has written a book that combines erudition, clarity, accessibility and passion at a moment when they could not be needed more.&rdquo; &mdash;Bret Stephens, The New York Times Book Review&#160;&ldquo;A valuable book . . . Lipstadt shows good judgment, always erring on the side of moderation, her attacks more deadly because they are not indiscriminate . . . It makes for a very readable account and, like the author, it&rsquo;s gutsy.&rdquo; &mdash;Daniel Finkelstein, The Times (London)&ldquo;This is not an academic history of antisemitism. It&rsquo;s something more valuable&mdash;an act of zooming in the moral lens on what is happening in the world today . . . Read Lipstadt&rsquo;s new book. And then give it to your children and grandchildren. It is that good&mdash;and it is that relevant.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Jeffrey Salkin, Religion News Service&#160;&ldquo;Lipstadt&rsquo;s insight and perspective contextualize current events . . . crafting an informative read for those interested in social justice and political and Jewish history.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;Deborah Lipstadt is that rare person, able to play a leading part in events&#160;and&#160;to fathom their meaning. Having&#160;triumphed in a court case brought by an antisemite, she now explains antisemitism to us and thus performs a&#160;double service. This a valuable book, containing many lessons.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Anthony Julius, author of Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England&ldquo;A leading scholar of Judaism explores just about every manifestation of contemporary antisemitism, with plenty of history included for context . . . A tour de force approachably presented.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Keeping her tone measured and carefully noninflammatory, Lipstadt presents an intelligent, evenhanded explanation of why Jews come under attack today. Informed, historically sound, and deeply rational, her book offers both convincing reasons for the recent rise of antisemitism and apt advice to &lsquo;call out and combat&rsquo; it.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Lipstadt&rsquo;s method of Socratic dialogue allows her to write a number of enlightening essays on a wide range of historical aspects and current manifestations of antisemitism. This book is a must-read at a time of a mounting wave of aggressive nationalism and xenophobia in the world today.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Jan T. Gross, author of Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland&ldquo;To say anything worthwhile about antisemitism you need calm, lucidity, intelligence, and a faultless moral compass, all powered by a proper feeling for racial justice. Deborah Lipstadt has the entire skillset. That&rsquo;s why her new book is so welcome, so necessary, and so clear.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;David Hare&ldquo;Antisemitism comes in different shades, all of them ugly&mdash;not least when it comes from those who regard themselves as champions of liberation. To fight this abomination in all its shades, Deborah Lipstadt has given us a sage, sober, and lucid manual for the perplexed and willfully blind. An outstandingly useful book.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Todd Gitlin, author of The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage

"More than a cookbook, Maggie Battista's A New Way to Food&#160;is a love story about her learning to accept herself and, along the way, inspiring us to evaluate our own relationships with ourselves and our bodies. If I could change one thing about it, it would be the ability to go back in time and give my younger self a copy."&mdash;Julia Turshen, author of Now & Again, Feed the Resistance, and Small Victories"Maggie tells her story in such an honest and approachable way, and the plant-based plan she offers is both do-able and delicious! This is&#160;the way I like to eat and she has so many great recipe ideas that I will be using."&mdash;Erin Gleeson, author of The Forest Feast"Maggie Battista&rsquo;s A New Way to Food is more than a diverse collection of nutritious and beautiful recipes. It is an essential statement about empowerment through healthy self-care. With this cookbook/self-help hybrid, Maggie shows us more than A New Way to Food; she shows us the way to a better self."&mdash;Andie Mitchell, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir&#160;It Was Me All Along and Eating in the Middle"A New Way to Food&#160;is filled with in-depth knowledge about realizing your beautiful authentic potential, reckoning with your past and loving yourself all while eating Maggie's incredibly delicious recipes along the way. This cookbook is filled with fresh, clean and delicious options for any season from Blueberry Plum Crisp Pie to Sweet Potato Gnocchi.

There&rsquo;s less motivational cheerleading than genuine, been-there-done-that compassion. Leaving room for differences, Battista says that there&rsquo;s no single way a journey should unfold.&rdquo; &mdash;Foreword Reviews "I can&rsquo;t recommend this book enough.&#160; The words are honest and encouraging and the recipes are playful and approachable and exciting!"&mdash;Joy the Baker"The book is in tune with current thinking that everyone is different and previous notions of how people should look &mdash; how traditional models and celebrities look &mdash; aren&rsquo;t practical or realistic for most people. Happiness comes when you combine healthy eating with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy attitude about the body you&rsquo;ve been given."&mdash;Boston Globe
