Candor, breadth, judiciousness-all these are attributes Irving Louis Horowitz possesses as a scholar. Under his leadership there is no academic publication from which I have learned as much as Transaction-Society."David Riesman, Harvard University "We are all happy benefi ciaries of Horowitz's acutely perceptive and (often) devas-tatingly plain-spoken self as sociologist and sage, broad-gauged scholar, dedicated teacher, tough-minded editor and publisher with an ingrained sense of fairness."Robert K. Merton, Columbia University.

There is very little on the market that introduces the concept of star-gazing at such an early age. This book brilliantly accomplished this through the medium of being a beautiful bedtime picture book that also helps children explore each member of earth's celestial family..

On the occasion of Irving Louis Horowitz's seventy-fifth birthday, a special two-part volume has been assembled, it includes: a set of twelve essays reflecting the range of ideas with which he has been involved over the past five decades, and a complete list of his writings during the same period, 1951-2004. The use of Shakespeare's well-known phrase from "Henry V " as a metaphor for combat and struggle was selected as epitomizing Horowitz's life and work. The essays and articles are a small selection of a large of writings that over the years have attracted a fair share of attention--both approving and disapproving. It is to be hoped that this sampling of his writing, along with a complete listing of his work will explain the title, but more, illuminate his sense of doing social science, one at once classic and postmodern. As Jacques Barzun wrote of Horowitz's volume of "Tributes" to other social scientists: "he offers a unique education in the history of ideas about man and society." The articles included in the volume are drawn from public lectures and private memoirs: Predicting and Remembering Scholarly Publishing as the Word Made Flesh Three Worlds of Development: 35 Years Later Editing "Society" Final Thoughts, Last Hurrahs Social Science as a Moral Calling Gauging Genocide Cuban Communism and Cuban Studies The Logic of Transaction A Prologue to Academic Freedom The Aims and Principles of Social Research Sociology and the Common Culture Facts, Values and Science

HUNTING THE MOST DANGEROUS SUPER Powerful Telekinetic Jane Pace has fled Terra for the Thao Protectorate. Armed with a new name and identity, she now works as a bodyguard for the ruler of the Kingdom of Gloriana and teaches refugee supernormals, victims of the anti-super purges of multiple planets. Although Terran authorities still hunt for the Red Angel, Jane's focus is revenge. She and her friends in Captain Jack Fisher's Three Furies Fleet are searching, searching for one particular man: Tristan, an unstoppable and insane Telepath/Empath/Telekinetic ultra-hybrid. Tristan stalks Jane, biding his time, while Jane, Soames (a Terran Telepath whose twin was murdered by Tristan), Master Assassin Quinn and Telepath Daniel (Tristan's former protegee and obsession) plot their own retribution. Jane and her friends risk everything to deal some Pacey Justice to Tristan, even as Jane realizes that losing to him may mean a fate worse than death. For how do you fight a man who can erase your soul?"

From Bad to Worse The Heliot War continues and the cost in lives grows. Jane Pace, the powerful Telekinetic, and her similarly gifted friends have fled Terra as Union President Archer tightens the screws on supernormal freaks of all descriptions and origins. They now live and work for fellow Pacey Captain Ian Armstrong's Phoenix Independent Mercenaries (the P.I.M.), but nowhere is truly safe. The Heely weapon, the Aquaformer, continues to allow the conquest of innocent worlds and Archer fuels the fire, pushing the Union military (including the Fleet commanded by Admiral Samuel Armstrong) into battles they cannot win. Archer's deliberate mismanagement of the war threatens to disembowel the Union. Enlisting the help of wealthy genius David Abrams, Jane has to plan for the most daring (and insanely dangerous) mission of her life. Unfortunately there is only one place she can go to stop Archer. She has to go back. Back to Terra.
