Confessions of a Free Speech Lawyer: Charlottesville and the Politics of Hate
This well-reasoned work will appeal to readers interested in bettering their understanding of Charlottesville, what led up to it, and its aftermath; the complexities of First Amendment doctrinal law; and the history of free speech. Recommended for general audiences, scholars, and practicing lawyers, this is a must for academic libraries.

The Vanishing Trial: The Era of Courtroom Performers and the Perils of Its Passing
Although intended for a general readership—lawyers will hardly benefit from the author’s minilecture distinguishing federal from state judicial systems
PREMIUM
Marijuana Nation: One Man's Chronicle of America Getting High; From Vietnam to Legalization
In relating an intrinsically punchy story, Roffman, and his editor, would have served its telling better through brevity. This work may become a valuable source for future historians of social movements, but the casual reader interested in pot odysseys will not be stimulated.
PREMIUM
Tomorrow-Land: The 1964–65 World's Fair and the Transformation of America
A model of accessible narrative, showing the author's immersion in archival research, this book will be appreciated most by those who love reading about Sixties or New York City history or, of course, world's fairs.
PREMIUM

Recommended for serious readers of American social history and political movements.

No Joke: Making Jewish Humor
Not to be mistaken for a light read on Jewish humor, this is a scholarly monograph for those undertaking Jewish cultural studies.
PREMIUM
The Undivided Past: Humanity Beyond Our Differences
Cannadine writes with great clarity and subtlety, and while the persuasiveness of his thesis is not assured, he is certainly clear-eyed about the case he makes for human commonality. There's something here for any serious student of history to find insightful (or dubious); such readers will thrill at Cannadine's erudition, logic, and prose.
PREMIUM
Why Does the World Exist?
Holt's efforts to make the why of existence compelling to a highly sophisticated lay audience will only succeed with the most committed of the cosmologically inclined; this is really a book of philosophy to be read by philosophers and Big Theory intellectuals.
