Trees Are Not Radishes

By: Michael Uhrich

The novel is set in the early 1970s in the fictional town of Rooster, Arizona. The narrator is Kipp, a college dropout from Ohio who travels to Rooster to live with his Uncle Balbinus, a navy veteran of the second world war and later a photographer of nuclear bomb tests. Carving out a life in Rooster as a young photographer and taxicab driver for the Hopeless Cab Company, Kipp deals with the madness of Lenni the Chicken, his uncle’s fierce obsession over the massive devastation that mankind can unleash, and the challenges of living in a tough, isolated town that defines ammunition and firearms as currency. While Kipp attends a funeral at Sailor Mountain, he becomes enamored with Lovely Sailor. The antagonist of the story is the power-hungry Orli Ordzhowikidzepyatakov and his callous partners who forever lay siege to the inhabitants of Rooster. Perhaps the safest thing we can say is that Rooster is in the desert and the desert is an ominous place for the guileless and the unprepared.

Heart Attacks Are Not Worth Dying For

By: Michael Ozner

In America, we have some of the best doctors and hospitals worldwide. Despite this, there are more than 800,000 deaths in the United States each year due to cardiovascular disease, namely heart attack and stroke. The good news is that we now have the ability to prevent heart disease with healthy lifestyle choices and highly effective medications when needed. There needs to be a paradigm shift in our medical approach—we need to become proactive and prevent heart disease rather than reactive and wait for this formidable enemy to strike. Heart Attacks—Are Not Worth Dying For provides a straightforward pathway for heart disease prevention. Don’t wait—the time to act is now.

The Political Humanism of Hannah Arendt

By: Michael H. McCarthy

The Political Humanism of Hannah Arendt

By: Michael H. McCarthy

At the end of the Second World War when the horror of the holocaust became known, Hannah Arendt committed herself to a work of remembrance and reflection. Intellectual integrity demanded that we comprehend and articulate the genesis and meaning of totalitarian terror. What earlier spiritual and moral collapse had made totalitarian regimes possible? What was the basis of their evident mass appeal? To what cultural resources and political institutions and traditions could we turn to prevent their recurrence? After years of profound study, Arendt concluded that the deepest crisis of the modern world was political and that the enduring appeal of political mass movements demonstrated how profound that crisis had become. For Arendt the modern political crisis is also a crisis of humanism. The radical totalitarian experiment was rooted in two distorted images of the human being. The agents of terror believed in the limitless power generated by strategic organization, a power exercised without restraint and justified by appeal to historical necessity. The victims of terror, by contrast, were systematically dehumanized by the ruling ideology, and then brutally deprived of their legal rights and their moral and existential dignity. Arendt’s political humanism directly challenges both of these distorted images, the first because it dangerously inflates human power, the second because it deliberately subverts human freedom and agency. This book offers a dialectical account of the political crisis that Arendt identified and shows why her interpretation of that crisis is especially relevant today. The author also provides detailed analysis and appraisal of Arendt’s political humanism, the revisionary anthropology she based on the politically engaged republican citizen. Finally, the work distinguishes the merits from the limitations of Arendt’s genealogical critique of “our tradition of political thought”, showing that she tended to be right in what she affirmed and wrong in what she excluded or omitted.

Dissenting Social Work

Critical Theory, Resistance and Pandemic

By: Paul Michael Garrett

This book, from one of international social work’s leading radical educators, provides a richly compelling argument for the profession to become more critical and dissenting. Addressing the troubled times in which we find ourselves, Garrett’s book examines a broad range of theoretical frameworks and draws on diverse writers, such as Marx, Foucault, Brown, Zuboff, Rancière, Wacquant, Arendt, Levinas, Fanon and Gramsci. The author’s panoramic vision encompasses Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Algeria, Israel/Palestine and China. Timely, lively and accessible, this book speaks directly to some of the main preoccupations of our era. Readers will be encouraged to relate developments in social work to key themes circulating around migration, the threat of neo-fascism, surveillance culture, colonialism, the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic. Imbued with a sense of hope for a brighter future, this book encourages a new generation of social work students to recognise and examine the importance of critical theory for understanding the structural forces shaping their lives and the lives of those with whom they work and provide services. This book is vital, indispensable and essential reading for social work students and other readers, throughout the world, seeking to make the connection between social work, social theory and sociology. Paul Michael Garrett—probably the most important critical social work theorist in the English-speaking world—is a remarkable and very productive critical thinker. In this book he deals with issues of migration, the threat of neo-fascism, surveillance culture, colonialism, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the COVID-19 pandemic... Insightful and inspiring, thought-provoking and comprehensive in addressing timely critical issues for social work globally. (Filipe Duarte, International Journal of Social Welfare, 2021)

Vermeer and His Milieu

A Web of Social History

By: John Michael Montias

This book is not only a fascinating biography of one of the greatest painters of the seventeenth century but also a social history of the colorful extended family to which he belonged and of the town life of the period. It explores a series of distinct worlds: Delft's Small-Cattle Market, where Vermeer's paternal family settled early in the century; the milieu of shady businessmen in Amsterdam that recruited Vermeer's grandfather to counterfeit coins; the artists, military contractors, and Protestant burghers who frequented the inn of Vermeer's father in Delft's Great Market Square; and the quiet, distinguished "Papists Corner" in which Vermeer, after marrying into a high-born Catholic family, retired to practice his art, while retaining ties with wealthy Protestant patrons. The relationship of Vermeer to his principal patron is one of many original discoveries in the book.

Beyond Auschwitz

Post-Holocaust Jewish Thought in America

By: Michael L. Morgan

To this day Jewish thinkers struggle to articulate the appropriate response to the unprecedented catastrophe of the Holocaust. Here, Morgan offers the first comprehensive overview of Post-Holocaust Jewish theology, quoting extensively from and interpreting all of the significant American writings of the movement. Morgan's lucid analysis clarifies the background of the movement in the postwar period, its origins, its character, and its legacy for subsequent thinking, theological and otherwise. Ultimately, Morgan's primary purpose is to tell the story of the movement, to illuminate its real, deep point, and to demonstrate its continuing relevance today.
