A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

Since publication in 1958, George Rosen’s classic book has been regarded as the essential international history of public health. Describing the development of public health in classical Greece, imperial Rome, England, Europe, the United States, and elsewhere, Rosen illuminates the lives and contributions of the field’s great figures. He considers such community health problems as infectious disease, water supply and sewage disposal, maternal and child health, nutrition, and occupational disease and injury. And he assesses the public health landscape of health education, public health administration, epidemiological theory, communicable disease control, medical care, statistics, public policy, and medical geography. Rosen, writing in the 1950s, may have had good reason to believe that infectious diseases would soon be conquered. But as Dr. Pascal James Imperato writes in the new foreword to this edition, infectious disease remains a grave threat. Globalization, antibiotic resistance, and the emergence of new pathogens and the reemergence of old ones, have returned public health efforts to the basics: preventing and controlling chronic and communicable diseases and shoring up public health infrastructures that provide potable water, sewage disposal, sanitary environments, and safe food and drug supplies to populations around the globe. A revised introduction by Elizabeth Fee frames the book within the context of the historiography of public health past, present, and future, and an updated bibliography by Edward T. Morman includes significant books on public health history published between 1958 and 2014. For seasoned professionals as well as students, A History of Public Health is visionary and essential reading.

Since humans first emerged as a distinct species, they have eaten, fought, prayed, and moved with other animals. In this stunningly original and conceptually rich book, historian Alan Mikhail puts the history of human-animal relations at the center of transformations in the Ottoman Empire from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Mikhail uses the history of the empire's most important province, Egypt, to explain how human interactions with livestock, dogs, and charismatic megafauna changed more in a few centuries than they had for millennia. The human world became one in which animals' social and economic functions were diminished. Without animals, humans had to remake the societies they had built around intimate and cooperative interactions between species. The political and even evolutionary consequences of this separation of people and animals were wrenching and often violent. This book's interspecies histories underscore continuities between the early modern period and the nineteenth century and help to reconcile Ottoman and Arab histories. Further, the book highlights the importance of integrating Ottoman history with issues in animal studies, economic history, early modern history, and environmental history. Carefully crafted and compellingly argued, The Animal in Ottoman Egypt tells the story of the high price humans and animals paid as they entered the modern world.

In An Oresteia, the classicist Anne Carson combines three different versions of the tragedy of the house of Atreus — A iskhylos’ Agamemnon, Sophokles’ Elektra and Euripides’ Orestes. After the murder of her daughter Iphigeneia by her husband, Agamemnon, Klytaimestra exacts a mother’s revenge, murdering Agamemnon and his mistress, Kassandra. Displeased with Klytaimestra’s actions, Apollo calls on her son, Orestes, to avenge his father’s death with the help of his sister Elektra. In the end, Orestes is driven mad by the Furies for his bloody betrayal of family. Condemned to death by the people of Argos, he and Elektra must justify their actions — or flout society, justice and the gods. Carson’s translation combines contemporary language with the traditional structures and rhetoric of Greek tragedy, opening up this ancient tale of vengeance to a modern audience and revealing the essential wit and morbidity of the original plays.

中国的神话学研究起始于上个世纪初，至40年代前后，闻一多先生以其特有的睿智和深厚的学养，既向国外神话学理论学习，又根据中国神话的实际创造性地分析，独创了中国神话研究的意象的系统联想与论证的方法，是中国神话学研究的一个重要突破，铸就了他在中国神话研究史上的杰出地位。本书据开明版《闻一多全集・神话与诗》选录了闻一多先生《伏羲考》及《端午考》等八篇有关神话学研究的重要论著。《伏羲考》无疑是闻一多先生最具代表性的神话学研究著作，也是一篇对中华民族根本神话的研究杰作。

本书收录了鲁迅一些虽无学术文章的形式，但实则有着深刻的理论见解，而且在现实中也的确起过重要作用的杂文、序跋和译文附记等。作者梳理其理论框架，剔抉其精义要目，更着重揭橥其学术源流、历史文化背景及鲁迅当时特定的情境与心态，帮助读者确切理解原著。

《春秋史》分“正文”、“考证”两部分，正文部分约十六万言，考证部分预定三十万言；正文用叙述体（必要处也参考证），文字以浅显为主，除必不得已处，不引原文。考证部分拟仿崔东壁《考信录》的体例，定名《春秋考信录》（可作为《考信录》的续编看），与正文可分可合。这考证部分的材料已大致搜集完备，正拟着笔，而时局人事都不允许我在短期内完功，只好暂时搁置了。好在正文本是独立成书的，先行出版，亦无不可。 正文中只有第一章有附注，这因第二章以下都另有考证，为免除重复起见，所以从略（考证部分既定名为《春秋考信录》作为崔氏《考信录》的续编，则春秋以上便不必追述，所以只得把这部分的考证附在正文中作注。因本是考证而不是注，故稍嫌繁琐；其用文言文写，也因此故）。我向来主张：凡著通史，每一件大事都应该详其来龙去脉；每一个时代的前后关系，不可割断。为贯彻这个原则，所以《春秋史》以春秋的历史为中心。而附带述及太古至西周（愈前愈略）的历史（第一章定名为“西周史略”者，以西周史事较详之故）。我本另撰有“战国史略”一章附正文的最后，因友人杨宽正先生（宽）也正在替齐鲁大学撰写《战国史》，体裁完全和这部《春秋史》相同，可以合成一书，故我把已写成的“战国史略”和附注约二万余言统统删去，以免重复。
