Through its close reading of Xin Qiji's (1140-1207) song lyrics, this study reveals the aesthetic implications of the eccentricity of an unruly self within the Ruist tradition. Although focusing on one poet, Xinda Lian uses the entire poetic tradition as the context of his study. His analysis of the concept of «vital force» and of the friction between different literary trends sheds new light on the lingering tension in the Chinese poetic tradition. On the one hand, there exists a requirement of moral exemplariness and decorum, and on the other, lyric should be a site of personal emotion.

Free-market capitalism, hegemony, Western culture, peace, and democracy—the ideas that shaped world politics in the twentieth century and underpinned American foreign policy—have lost a good deal of their strength. Authority is now more contested and power more diffuse. Hegemony (benign or otherwise) is no longer a choice, not for the United States, for China, or for anyone else. Steven Weber and Bruce Jentleson are not declinists, but they argue that the United States must take a different stance toward the rest of the world in this, the twenty-first century. Now that we can’t dominate others, we must rely on strategy, making trade-offs and focusing our efforts. And they do not mean military strategy, such as “the global war on terror.” Rather, we must compete in the global marketplace of ideas—with state-directed capitalism, with charismatic authoritarian leaders, with jihadism. In politics, ideas and influence are now critical currency. At the core of our efforts must be a new conception of the world order based on mutuality, and of a just society that inspires and embraces people around the world.

The TEAM. Underestimated, overestimated, stereotyped, and together, unstoppable! As Chairman of the financial institution known as Intrepid Securities, the ruthless and supremely self-centered Jonathan David Macklow III has launched a covert attack against his own company and an old childhood friend, for reasons known only to him. Unbeknownst to him, his actions attract the attention of the darkest and the most ancient of forces. Forces that if unleashed would signal the final countdown to the end of the world. Intrepid Securities's second in command, Lord Michael Dalton, suspects that something is very wrong. A man of high standards and a regal upbringing, he is not willing to stand by and watch his maniacal leader put his devious plans into motion. Assembling a special Team to be his worldwide eyes and ears, Lord Dalton sets out to counter the threat now looming on the horizon. As Michael's Team tries to counter Jonathan's covert moves, an apocalyptic clock begins to tick, and the titanic forces of good and evil gear up to clash once again. Will Michael's newly formed Team be enough to stop this epic battle as destiny calls out to each member? Or is it already too late for us all?

Webb Tremont never has lived up to his family's expectations — mostly because he never wanted to. This independent-minded son of a prominent billionaire shuns his trust funds to become a cop, but when a series of events ends his career, he turns to writing about true crime stories and attracts a huge fan base. But fame takes an unexpected turn after his popular Serve & Protect books are adapted into a TV series. Six bored young geniuses from the tech world, rolling in millions from the sale of their software company, decide to prove their brilliance on a grander stage, committing mock crimes that parody each week’s episode of the prime time show. The anonymous pranksters become instant champions of the American public by leaving high-minded messages and large sums of money at each mock crime scene … that is, until a line is crossed into serious felonies. Webb and veteran FBI agent C.J. Matthews recognize that the group has been manipulated by a dangerous sociopath who has a vendetta against the Tremont family. In the search for answers, Webb uncovers secrets about his family and learns that wealth and pedigree are no protection against a criminal mastermind. Though he may have thought himself an expert on crime and arrogance, nothing could have prepared Webb for the rollercoaster journey he and everyone close to him is forced to endure in this well-crafted page-turner.

Former CBS News correspondent Goldberg cites example after example of what he identifies as distorted reporting and asserts that these examples prove the pervasiveness of a liberal bias in the mainstream media. His credibility is diminished by a breathless, scattershot approach and sketchy documentation of examples (many taken out of context); but his points seem to be that attuned citizens will find such examples everywhere they look and that honest journalists should open their eyes. He includes a section of contact information for conservative organizations and think tanks.

Emlyn Eisenach uses a wide range of sources, including the richly detailed and previously unexplored records of nearly two hundred marriage-related disputes from the bishop’s court of Verona, to illuminate family and social relations in early modern northern Italy. Arguing against the common emphasis on the growth of law and government in this period, her study emphasizes the fluidity of the principles that governed marriage and its dissolution, and deepens our understanding of the patriarchal family and its complex relationship with gender and status during the sixteenth century. Peopled by characters from across the social spectrum of the city of Verona and its contado, Eisenach’s study moves between stories about specific individuals—serving girls seeking honorable marriage through the unlikely route of concubinage, peasant men in search of independence from their fathers, and aristocratic wives seeking revenge against adulterous husbands—and broader analyses of social, economic, and geographical patterns of behavior. She shows how the Veronese at all social levels attempted to better their familial and personal fortunes by creatively molding wedding rituals to fit their particular circumstances, or engaging in the significant but until now little understood practices of concubinage, clandestine marriage, or informal marriage dissolution. Eisenach also evaluates the first half-century of religious reforms in Verona as the leading pre-Tridentine bishop Gian Matteo Giberti and his successors challenged common practices and understandings in sermons, treatises, confessionals, and court. Emphasizing the limitations of what the religious authorities could impose on the people, she explores how learned and popular notions of marriage, family, and gender shaped each other as they were put into action in the strategies of individual Veronese.

The controversial New York Times–bestselling biography of America’s most infamous president written by a master of investigative political reporting. Anthony Summers’s towering biography of Richard Nixon reveals a tormented figure whose criminal behavior did not begin with Watergate. Drawing on more than a thousand interviews and five years of research, Summers traces Nixon’s entire career, revealing a man driven by addiction to power and intrigue. His subversion of democracy during Watergate was the culmination of years of cynical political manipulation. Evidence suggests the former president had problems with alcohol and prescription drugs, was mentally unstable, and was abusive to his wife, Pat. Summers discloses previously unrevealed facts about Nixon’s role in the plots against Fidel Castro and Salvador Allende, his sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968, and his acceptance of funds from dubious sources. The Arrogance of Power shows how the actions of one tormented man influenced 50 years of American history, in ways still reverberating today. “Summers has done an enormous service. . . . The inescapable conclusion, well body-guarded by meticulous research and footnotes, is that in the Nixon era the United States was in essence a ‘rogue state.’ It had a ruthless, paranoid and unstable leader who did not hesitate to break the laws of his own country.”—Christopher Hitchens, The New York Times Book Review “A superbly researched and documented account—the last word on this dark and devious man.”—Paul Theroux
