On a November night in 1879 in Boston, Massachusetts, a lecture was given by Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca Tribe. It was attended by a forty-nine-year old woman who sat mesmerized as the dignified Indian told of the injustice that had driven his people from their ancestral lands. The next day the woman sent a cable to her husband at home in Colorado explaining that she would be delayed in returning. ¿Thankful you will be in the east on business next month,¿ she wrote, ¿situation with the Ponca Indians necessitates extended time here.¿ And so began a path that was to thrust Helen Hunt Jackson into the public eye as one of the foremost Indian policy reformers of the 19th century.From that moment in the Brunswick Hotel Jackson was imbued with the indignation that would be the motivating factor in everything she did, thought, or wrote for the rest of her life. ¿I cannot think of anything else from night to morning,¿ she wrote in a letter to a friend in 1880. ¿I shall be found with Indians engraved on my brain when I¿m dead. A fire has been kindled within me which will never go out.¿ Jackson and Chief Standing Bear became fast friends and she used her considerable talents as a writer to pen her most famous work, a book entitled A Century of Dishonor. The book chronicled the injustices perpetrated against Native Americans in the United States after the arrival of European settlers through the famed Indian Wars of the 1870s and their aftermath. Jackson¿s friendship with Chief Standing Bear and her daring efforts to publish a book about the broken promises of the United States government made with the Native Americans is a compelling story. During the three years it took Jackson to write the book attempts were twice made on her life. There was a lot of speculation about who tried to kill her, including many politicians who resented her association with Chief Standing Bear and the book she was working on, but no one was ever charged with the crimes.

Hilton Als grew up in a corner of Brooklyn scarred by riots, racial segregation and sexual prejudice. As a young teenager, he began to glimpse possibility in the different cultures and ways of being he encountered through high school; in the black men and white men who found ways to be together. As a burgeoning writer in a Manhattan pulsing with new culture - with hip hop, Basquiat, nightclubs and new wave - Hilton at last came together with the gay family he had longed for. The timing was not opportune: reports of a 'rare cancer' were beginning to trickle through the press. Part autobiography, part reportage, part cultural criticism, I Don't Remember weaves the impossible story of queer America in the age of the AIDs crisis. It is an elegy like no other for an unsung generation of gay men: of heroic lovers and friends, visionary makers, artists and creators. By turns lyrical, wry, and exquisite in its poetic, rapid-fire storytelling, it sings a song of the necessity of connection, and the grandness of human endeavor, especially when it comes to loving, and being loved, in the face of social limitations, stigma, and unspeakable tragedy.

After serving for 8 years in the United Kingdom's Merchant Navy, W. Clark Russell turned to writing and is now well known for his novels revolving around life at sea. The Ship-Her Story is one of his later works and was republished in 1899 with the permission of the proprietor of the Pall Mall Magazine. The book is full of anecdotes about important historical ships ranging from the Flying Dutchman to The Confederate Cruiser 'Alabama" and features delightful penciled drawings by Seppings Wright. Informational and sometimes humorous, The Ship-Her Story is a lively ode to what Russell calls "the most beautiful and sentient expression of the handiwork of man-- the sailing-ship."

How do we grasp existential Europe? How do we explore the social practices, individual dispositions, sentiments and beliefs lying beyond the institutional façade of the European Union's crises? This volume addresses these questions by understanding European law, and EU law in particular, as one of the main social practices which forms our lives in Europe. It examines the ways in which European law shapes and interconnects with the individual's relationship to Europe, political forms and social forms. This thoughtful and reflective book offers an important response to the current upheavals in the EU and EU law.

"I wanted to suggest a conversation among these chairs, which have always seemed to me more like people than objects, with distinct personalities and genders even." With this sentiment in mind, Dayanita Singh went about photographing the many chairs living throughout the houses and public buildings designed by Geoffrey Bawa (1919-2003), whom Singh deems a "tropical modernist" and the most influential architect of the South Asian region. Less still lifes than portraits, Singh's images show how Bawa's spaces engage with the chairs, be they designed or collected by Bawa, or installed after his passing. Made to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Bawa's birth, Bawa Chairs is constructed as an accordion-fold booklet in the manner of Singh's Chairs (2005), Sent a Letter (2007) and Museum Bhavan (2017), and intended to be unfolded and installed at will-transforming the book into an exhibition, and the reader into a curator.

These on-the-spot portraits of "the fallen" were taken to reveal the dignity and unexamined humanity of those who were once intrinsic to the urban experience of American cities of the late 1970s. In Charles H. Traub's own words: "It is my hope that these photographs of the tenants of the streets of Uptown Chicago and the Bowery New York serve as a tribute to the grace of the 'down and out.'" And from Tom Huhn's essay in the book: "What a curious thing to look at, and to look for: whatever there is in each of us-by spying what might be found missing in someone else." Indifference and gentrification have displaced those who once inhabited the missions and shelters that nurtured and held them together in a storied bond. While homeless, they were not wayward; they formed a fabled tribe and were known to their neighbors by their names, eccentricities and their plight. Nelson Algren's famous book A Walk on the Wild Side asks why "lost people sometimes develop to greater human beings than those who have never been lost in their lives." Traub's Skid Row confirms this and these inhabitants' part in the central fabric of the city.
