Revolutions without Borders

The Call to Liberty in the Atlantic World

By: Janet Polasky

Nation-based histories cannot do justice to the rowdy, radical interchange of ideas around the Atlantic world during the tumultuous years from 1776 to 1804. National borders were powerless to restrict the flow of enticing new visions of human rights and universal freedom. This expansive history explores how the revolutionary ideas that spurred the American and French revolutions reverberated far and wide, connecting European, North American, African, and Caribbean peoples more closely than ever before. Historian Janet Polasky focuses on the eighteenth-century travelers who spread new notions of liberty and equality. It was an age of itinerant revolutionaries, she shows, who ignored borders and found allies with whom to imagine a borderless world. As paths crossed, ideas entangled. The author investigates these ideas and how they were disseminated long before the days of instant communications and social media or even an international postal system. Polasky analyzes the paper records—books, broadsides, journals, newspapers, novels, letters, and more—to follow the far-reaching trails of revolutionary zeal. What emerges clearly from rich historic records is that the dream of liberty among America’s founders was part of a much larger picture. It was a dream embraced throughout the far-flung regions of the Atlantic world.

Asylum Between Nations

Refugees in a Revolutionary Era

By: Janet Polasky

Why some of the most vulnerable communities in Europe, from independent cities to new monarchies, welcomed refugees during the Age of Revolutions and prospered "Janet Polasky unearths an unappreciated history of the experience of asylum in Europe and the United States since the Age of the Democratic Revolutions. Facing squarely the destruction of asylum in our own time, she ends with a stunningly optimistic vision of a path toward its reconstruction."--Linda K. Kerber, author of No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies Driven from their homelands, refugees from ancient times to the present have sought asylum in worlds turned upside down. Theirs is an age-old story. So too are the solutions to their plight. Historian Janet Polasky looks at the asylum freely offered in a revolutionary era when refugees sought shelter among emerging nation-states intent on securing their borders. This book reclaims the lost story of refugees and of the vulnerable communities that harbored them in the first modern refugee crisis. In the wake of the American and French Revolutions, thousands of men and women took to the roads and waterways on both sides of the Atlantic in search of their inalienable rights. Although larger nations fortified their borders and circumscribed citizenship, two port cities, German Hamburg and Danish Altona, opened their doors, as did the federated Swiss cantons and the newly independent Belgian monarchy. The refugees thrived and the societies prospered. The United States followed, not only welcoming waves of immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century but offering them citizenship. In this remarkable story, Polasky shows how open doors can be a viable alternative to the building of border walls.

That Boston Man

By: Janet Dailey

In this sexy romance, the legendary New York Times–bestselling author introduces a feminist beauty who challenges a Boston bachelor’s ideals—and heart. After her uncensored comments about a certain Boston playboy make headlines, reporter Lexie Templeton knows there will be hell to pay. Rome Lockwood—even more irresistible in the flesh—shows up at her office to accuse her of starting a smear campaign. Appalled by her powerful attraction to the magnetic businessman, no one is more surprised than Lexie when she throws down the gauntlet. She challenges Rome to prove he isn’t the macho, double standard–dealing male she believes he is by going on a date with her. To Lexie’s shock and dismay, Rome gladly accepts the challenge. He’s determined to prove he isn’t the man she thinks he is. Much to the contrary—he’s the perfect man for her. With over 300 million copies of her books in print, Janet Dailey has earned her place as America’s First Lady of romance fiction. That Boston Man—the twenty-first book in her Americana series, each featuring a different US state—takes readers to Massachusetts for a witty and seductive battle of the sexes.

How Great Cities Happen

Integrating People, Land Use and Transport

By: John Stanley,Janet Stanley,Roslynne Hansen

Urban planners in developed countries are increasingly recognizing the need for closer integration of land use and transport. However, this updated second edition of How Great Cities Happen explains how crises like climate change and the lack of affordable housing demonstrate the urgent need for a broader approach in order to create and sustain great cities. Offering innovative solutions to these contemporary challenges, the book examines emerging directions in strategic land use transport planning and analyses how cities function as a home for future generations and other species.

The Democratic Socialism of Emile Vandervelde

Between Reform and Revolution

By: Janet Polasky

Winner of the Pierlot Prize in Contemporary History This political biography of Emile Vandervelde traces the path of European socialism at the turn of the century. Vandervelde defined democratic socialism as a compromise between orthodox and revisionist Marxism. As President of the Second International, he brought French, British, and German socialists together as comrades in a common revolutionary struggle.This history of the struggles of two generations of socialists to define and practise what Vandervelde called 'revolutionary reformism' draws attention to the Marxist origins of democratic socialism and will appeal to anyone interested in politics, comparative history or labour movements.
