Joy Harjo, the first Native American poet to serve as US Poet
Laureate, has championed the voices of Native American peoples past
and present. Her signature laureate project gathers the work of
contemporary poets into a national, fully digital map of story,
sound and space, celebrating their vital and unequivocal
contributions to American poetry. This companion anthology features
each poem and poet from the project to offer readers a chance to
hold the wealth of poems in their hands. With work from Natalie
Diaz, Ray Young Bear, Craig Santos Perez, Sherwin Bitsui, Layli
Long Soldier, among others, Living Nations, Living Words showcases,
as Joy Harjo writes in her stirring introduction, "poetry [that]
emerges from the soul of a community, the heart and lands of the
people. In this country, poetry is rooted in the more than 500
living indigenous nations. Living Nations, Living Words is a
representative offering."
With the publication of volumes 21 and 22, Johns Hopkins University
Press completes the Documentary History of the First Federal
Congress, 1789-1791, a comprehensive edition that presents the
official records (volumes 1-8) and the unofficially reported
debates (volumes 9-14) of this essential congress, as well as eight
volumes of correspondence. These letters and other documents bring
the official record to life, illustrating the often informal
political negotiations of a young nation's earliest leaders and
revealing the world they lived in. Volume 21 begins with a section
describing the move to Philadelphia's Congress Hall. Third Session
correspondence, arranged chronologically from November 1790 to
March 1791, when Congress officially concluded its business,
follows. Several key and potentially divisive issues-including a
national bank, a tax on domestically produced spirits, and the
final location of the permanent seat of the federal
government-occupied the time and attention of Congress during this
short session. In addition, reports of a successful attack on US
troops by Native Americans in the Northwest Territory were the
impetus for moves to increase the size of the military while
continuing to negotiate with the Indian nations. Volume 22 is
unique among the correspondence volumes in that it is topical. It
begins with a section of firsthand accounts about Congress that
were written after it adjourned, some as late as the 1840s. This is
followed by sections of documents relating to the 1790 Treaty of
New York with the Creek Nation and its aftermath, as well as the
experience of FFC incumbents during the second federal election.
The final section includes letters and other documents dated 1789
to 1791 that the editors discovered after the publication of the
volume in which they would have otherwise appeared. The documents
gathered here include selections from a book of poems by
Representatives Thomas Tudor Tucker and John Page, and Page's wife,
Margaret Lowther, as well as listings from the New York Society
Library's ledger that recorded book loans to members in 1789 and
1790, when Congress met in New York City's Federal Hall. The final
volume concludes with an extensive editorial apparatus, including
the biographical gazetteer and index for the two-volume set. This
extensive index continues the editors' policy of indexing all
concepts to provide intellectual access.

From the pages of Look, the magazine that defined the fifties,
comes a photographic portrayal of the dynamic era that sparked a
transformation in America's political and cultural identity. From
the Red Scare incited by Joseph McCarthy to the election of John F.
Kennedy as president in 1960, the 1950s heralded some of the most
striking and clashing aspects of twentieth-century America: the
Korean War and I Love Lucy; the Bunny Hop and Brown v. Board of
Education; bikinis and UFOs; Disneyland and the polio vaccine;
Elvis and Allen Ginsberg; the Invisible Man and Roman Holiday;
Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy. The evocative images in this
volume--many never before published--chart a contradictory decade,
transcending what we have come to know as "the age of Ozzie and
Harriet." Provocative and endearing, best-selling journalist James
Conaway's entertaining and highly readable year-by-year survey will
resonate with a generation that came of age in the 1950s but also
prove compelling to younger audiences who identify with that
hopeful yet uneasy epoch.

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten
[Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a
significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory
both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to
deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight
of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new
knowledge about human languages both synchronically and
diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical
analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality
linguistic studies from all the central areas of general
linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which
address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the
development of linguistic theory.
