ow old are you? The more thought you bring to bear on the question, the harder it is to answer. For we age simul- Htaneously in different ways: biologically, psychologically, socially.

Seen through this lens, many aspects of late modernity would suggest that we are older than ever, but Robert Pogue Harrison argues that we are also getting startlingly younger—in looks, mentality, and behavior.

rom the ancient Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet, to the prophet Muhammad’s favorite cat, Muezza, and our contemporary Fobsession with online cat videos, felines have long held a place of honor in their human counterparts’ homes and cultures. But the domestic cat is just one of many feline species, and in The Wild Cat Book cat experts Fiona and Mel Sunquist introduce us to the full panoply of the purring, roaring feline tribe. Illustrated throughout with Terry Whittaker’s spectacular color photographs as well as unique photos from biologists in the field— some the only known images of the species pictured—The Wild Cat Book not only tantalizes with the beauty of cats, but also serves as a valuable and accessible reference on cat behavior and conservation. Comprehensive entries for each of the thirty-seven cat species include color distribution maps and up-to-date information related to the species’ conservation and management statuses, while informative sidebars reveal why male lions have manes (and why dark manes are sexiest), how cats see with their whiskers, the truth behind our obsession with white lions and tigers, and why cats can’t be vegetarians. The Wild Cat Book also highlights the grave threats faced by the world’s wild cats—from habitat destruction to human persecution. From the extraordinary acrobatics of the arboreal margay, able to cling to a tree branch by a single paw thanks to its unusually flexible ankles, to modern declines in African lion populations, The Wild Cat Book looks on felines with wonder and deep thought.

But before you shrink in fear Tfrom these furry “creatures of the night,” consider the bat’s fundamental role in our ecosystem. A single brown bat can eat several thousand insects in a night.

A com- SCIENCE prehensive guide to what scientists know about the world of bats, the book begins with a look at bats’ origins and evolution. The book goes on to address a host of questions related to flight, diet, habitat, reproduction, and social structure: Why do some bats live alone and others in large colonies? When do bats reproduce and care for their young? How has the ability to fly—unique among mammals—influenced bats’ mating behavior? A chapter on biosonar, or echolocation, takes readers through the system of high-pitched calls bats emit to navigate and catch prey. More than half of the world’s bat species are either in decline or already considered endangered, and the book concludes with suggestions for what we can do to protect these species for future generations to benefit from and enjoy. From the tiny “bumblebee bat”—the world’s smallest mammal—to the Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox, whose wingspan exceeds five feet, Bats presents a panoramic view of one of the world’s most fascinating yet least-understood species.

Destined to become the standard translation of the play, Iphigenia among the Taurians is a remarkable accomplishment, and an unforgettable work of poetic drama.

The latter, written in the guise of a scientific work (complete with technical diagrams), was taken as such when first published but in reality is a fiction—albeit one with an important message. Glass! Love!! Perpetual Motion!!! is richly illustrated with period material, much of it never before reproduced, including a selection of artwork by Paul Scheerbart himself. Accompanying this original material is a selection of essays by scholars, novelists, and filmmakers commissioned for this publication to illuminate Scheerbart’s importance, then and now, in the worlds of art, architecture, and culture. Coedited by artist Josiah McElheny and Christine Burgin, with new artwork created for this publication by McElheny and beautifully designed by Purtill Family Business, Glass! Love!!

Offering a bold, compelling new angle on some of the most widely studied creative minds of the twentieth century, The Experimenters does nothing less than rewrite the story of art in the mid-twentieth century.

Beginning with an introduction to the geologic and ecological history of Madagascar that provides context for the evolution, diversification, and, in some cases, rapid decline of the Malagasy fauna, Goodman and Jungers then seek to recapture these extinct mammals in their environs.

Among the most famous are drawings of embryos by the Darwinist Ernst Haeckel in which humans and other vertebrates begin identical, then diverge toward their adult forms. But these icons of evolution are notorious, too: within months of their publication in 1868, a colleague alleged fraud, and Haeckel’s many enemies have repeated the charge “Haeckel’s Embryos masterfully recon- ever since.

62 special interest Arthur M. Melzer Philosophy Between the Lines The Lost History of Esoteric Writing

hilosophical esotericism—the practice of communicating one’s unorthodox thoughts “between the lines”—was a common Ppractice until the end of the eighteenth century. The famous Encyclopédie of Diderot, for instance, not only discusses this practice in over twenty different articles, but admits to employing it itself. The history of Western thought contains hundreds of such statements by major philosophers testifying to the use of esoteric writing in their own work or that of others. Despite this long and well-documented “Philosophy Between the Lines offers the history, however, esotericism is often dismissed today as a rare occur- best statement on this topic that there rence.

In the book’s final section, “A PHILOSOPHY Beginner’s Guide to Esoteric Reading,” Melzer turns to how we might once again cultivate the long-forgotten art of reading esoteric works. Philosophy Between the Lines is the first comprehensive, book-length study of the history and theoretical basis of philosophical esotericism, and it provides a crucial guide to how many major writings—philosophical, but also theological, political, and literary—were composed prior to the nineteenth century.

78 special interest Deidre Shauna Lynch Loving Literature A Cultural History

f the many charges laid against contemporary literary scholars, one of the most common—and perhaps the most O wounding—is that they simply don’t love books. And while the most obvious response is that, no, actually the profession of literary studies does acknowledge and address personal attachments to literature, that answer risks obscuring a more fundamental question: Why should they? That question led Deidre Shauna Lynch into the historical and cultural investigation of Loving Literature. How did it come to be that professional literary scholars are expected not just to study, but to love “A major work by a major scholar. This is literature, and to inculcate that love in generations of students? What truly an eagerly awaited book.

He tells of scientists both legendary and lesser known, from Copernicus and Kepler to Robert Boyle, as well as the inventions and technologies that were inspired by curiosity itself, such as the telescope and the micro- scope.

124 D iaphanes Aesl k ei Gan Constructivism

Translated and with an Introduction by Christina Lodder

ublished in 1922 in Russian, Aleksei Gan’s Constructivism was the first theoretical treatise of postrevolutionary Russia’s emer- Pgent Constructivist movement. Fired with revolutionary zeal, it was unquestionably a declaration of war on traditional bourgeois art. Constructivism recasts artists and architects as Constructors, turning away from aesthetic or speculative problems in art and instead focusing on the fusion of art with everyday life in order to create a functional system of design, one in keeping with the great task of Augu 178 p.,st 12 color plates, 28 halftones 6 x 8 building the new communist society.

Nearly a century later, Constructivism remains a powerful manifesto, and this new translation will help scholars trace its enduring influence on twentieth-century art and design.

Aleksei Gan (1887–1942) was an agitator, publisher, activist, artist, and pro- moter, as well as the main theorist and cofounder of the First Working Group of Constructivists. Christina Lodder is a renowned scholar of Russian art and professor of the history and philosophy of art at the University of Kent.

The central characters from the original novel, Don Quixote and San- cho Panza, are mounted on their beasts of burden, Rocinante and the Mule, and Ali has them ride into the twenty-first century, where they are confronted by old, familiar vices: war, greed, prejudice, disappointed love, and economic crisis. Amid the satirical and sad songs, there are odd moments of happiness for Quixote, when he imagines that a wounded US colonel is Dulcinea and allows himself to be seduced by her in a military hospital in Germany. Primarily interested in discovering the meaning of life and how it is molded by the world in which we live, Ali uses the theatrical device of the conversation between the two animals—Rocinante the philosopher and Mule the everyman who questions her relentlessly. Accom- panied by full-color stills from the play’s production in Germany, this volume is as intellectually stimulating as it is uproariously humorous.

Tariq Ali is a writer and filmmaker. He has written more than a dozen books, including Fear of Mirrors, also published by Seagull Books.

Settling Missouri with a Rope and a Gun

Situated as the Gateway to the West, Missouri experienced an influx of new cultures, races, and political factions, while already home to a population of patriotic war veterans. The state marked the boundary of eastern civilization and was a stronghold of fierce independence, bordered by Bloody Kansas and Native American O ctober 304 p., 65 halftones, territories.

Lawmen opposed vigilantes but Americ an History at times were forced to cooperate with them and adopt their methods. Missouri spawned countless stories of individual and mob violence that finally ended at the turn of the century with advancing technology and the people’s enduring insistence on decency and peace. Necessary Evil is the first book to chronicle the implications of vigilantism in Missouri, ultimately showing that the state could never have been settled without a healthy dose of rebel justice. Packed with stories of popular gunslingers such as Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, and Jesse James, this action-filled read will be of interest to crime enthusiasts and historians alike.

Gail Climate Conundrums What the Climate Debate Reveals About Us

t is generally assumed that, in polite company, you don’t talk politics, religion, or money. But in recent years, it seems “climate I change” needs to be added to that list. Incorporating all of the above, few topics can divide a dinner party faster. Yet, while much ink has been spilled on both sides of the issue, few have considered the debate itself and what it reveals about modern culture. Climate Conundrums is a journey through how we as humans think, Oct ober 224 p., 6 line drawings 6 x 9 ISBN-13: 978-1-935704-74-4 individually and collectively, about the debate. It eschews rhetoric or Paper $30.00/£21.00 fist-pounding conclusions and instead explores our ongoing attempts Science to reach a societal understanding about climate change and how we should respond to it. The essays throughout are broadly organized around our relationship with nature, the challenges facing human society, and the path ahead for civilization. Each begins with a question—Can we make nature better? Could science and religion be reconciled?—and from there follows an introspective path through all sides of the debates. Some are long-standing issues, such as whether humans are growing increasingly distant from nature. Others are brought on by recent developments, such as whether technology can eventually meet all of society’s needs. While no final answers are given, the insights that come from reflecting on these questions can help us find our way and better connect with each other across the climate divide.

The Evolution Myth approaches the subject with CZE/SVK two intertwined objectives. Jirí A. Mejsnar first sets out to convey the advances made in cosmology, molecular biology, genetics, and other sciences that have enabled us to change our views on our origins and our relationship with the universe. Scientific advances now allow us to calculate, for example, the age of the universe, the period in which biblical Eve lived, and, with good justification, to reconsider the possibility that the Neanderthals and primates might be our ancestors. The author’s second objective is to use biology to explain why evolution cannot have taken place in the way that is most commonly assumed. Mejsnar builds his case around gene stability and on the sophisticated modern techniques for gene manipulation, the complex- ity of which make these modified genes inaccessible to nature. Devel- opment of life on Earth is a discontinuous, saltatory progression that results in stages following from preceding latent periods in which new forms suddenly appear and possess new types of genome. This, the author argues, is difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of continuous biological evolution based on the natural selection of random variations. Taking a new approach to a much-debated subject, Mejsnar distills complex information into a readable style. The result is a book that is sure to get readers talking.

Jirí A. Mejsnar is a retired professor of physiology at Charles University, Prague.

178 Karolinum Press, Charles University, Prague Jan Royt The Master of the Trˇebonˇ Altarpiece

he Master of the Trˇebonˇ Altarpiece was a painter active in Prague in the fourteenth century and one of the most impor- T tant gothic artists of the international style. He is named for his most famous work, a triptych depicting the death and resurrection of Christ, from an altar in a church in Trˇebonˇ, a medieval town in the southern Czech Republic. Today, the masterpiece is in the collection of the National Gallery in Prague.

Art historian Jan Royt’s extensive scientific research into the Master of the Trˇebonˇ Altarpiece attempts to definitively identify and contextualize this unknown artist’s oeuvre. Royt begins by outlining historical events in Bohemia during the last third of the fourteenth century, including the development of painting and religious atmosphere of the time. He then offers an artistic and iconographic analysis of works of the Master of the Trˇebonˇ Al- tarpiece and his workshop and circle. The book closes with a detailed critical overview of art historians’ views of the work of this medieval artist. With more than eighty color reproductions and illustrations depicting the results of a restoration survey of the panel paintings by the Master of the Trˇebonˇ Altarpiece, this book will be warmly received by scholars of art history as well as European art aficionados.

Jan Royt is head of the Institute of Christian Art History and vice-rector of Charles University, Prague. He is the author of Medieval Painting in Bohemia, also published by Karolinum Press, Charles University, Prague.

The result is an appealing account of medieval life, everyday intellectualism, grand European politics of the time, and even medieval cuisine. Šmahel sets the stage by presenting details of the life of Charles IV, including his early days in Paris and the political and international goals of his father, John of Bohemia. The author then presents a tran- scription of richly illustrated French chronicles of the historic meeting and offers an analysis of the importance of the conclave of the two most powerful European rulers of the time. Finally, Šmahel considers, in individual studies, the practical organization of medieval festivities, including their logistics, transportation, culinary details, court manners, relationships, and symbols. With techniques borrowed from the fields of archaeology and mi- crohistory as well as cultural anthropology and iconography, The Paris Summit, 1377–78 is a highly readable account of medieval lives and times that will appeal to historians as well as nonacademic audiences.
