A new angle on Lincoln and his legacy, exploring the rich and
suggestive dialogue between art, image, and politics at the time of
the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was one of the most photographed
figures of his century. Richard Lowry explores Lincoln's
association with Alexander Gardner, the man who would create the
most memorable and ultimately iconic images of the president, both
in his studio and on the battlefields of the Civil War. Lowry's
book is an accessible and lively narrative of this symbiotic
relationship and an examination of the emerging role of the media
at a moment of national transformation. Lincoln was an early
adopter of photographic technology and visionary in how he used
it-as FDR was with radio, JFK with television, and Obama with the
internet. By highlighting this very modern aspect of such a storied
presidency, Lowry opens a new door on Lincoln's relationship to
politics and celebrity just as the mass culture of the image was
taking root in America.

On March 23, 2003, in the city of An Nasiriyah, Iraq, members of
the 507th Maintenance Company came under attack from Iraqi forces
who killed or wounded twenty-one soldiers and took six prisoners,
including Private Jessica Lynch. For the next week, An Nasiriyah
rocked with battle as the marines of Task Force Tarawa fought
Saddam's fanatical followers, street by street and building to
building, ultimately rescuing Private Lynch.
Undergraduate textbooks for statistics courses in the behavioural,
biological, and social sciences must devote so much space to the
nuts-and-bolts details of statistical methods that they have little
left over for the larger conceptual framework of probability
theory. This brief, lucid book fills the gap with its intelligible
and in-depth explanation of probability, laid out step-by-step in a
clear and congenial fashion. Even the student with little
background in mathematics will find it readable and accessible.
As in his novel The Polish Complex, Konwicki's A Minor Apocalypse
stars a narrator and character named Konwicki, who has been asked
to set himself on fire that evening in front of the Communist Party
headquarters in Warsaw in an act of protest. He accepts the
commission, but without any clear idea of whether he will actually
go through with the self-immolation. He spends the rest of the day
wandering the streets of Warsaw, being tortured by the secret
police and falling in love. Both himself and Everyman, the
character-author experiences the effects of ideologies and
bureaucracies gone insane with, as always in history, the
individual struggling for survival rather than offering himself up
on the pyre of the greater good. Brilliantly translated by Richard
Lourie, A Minor Apocalypse is one of the most important novels to
emerge from Poland in the last twenty five years.
