Brezhnev: The Making of a Statesman

Susanne Schattenberg

A major new biography of Leonid Brezhnev based on a wealth of archival research

Leonid Brezhnev, who served as leader of the Soviet Union between 1964 and 1982, is seen by many as being responsible for the stagnation (and by some even the collapse) of the Soviet Union.

Liberalism and Education: The Monopoly of an Idea

Francis O’Gorman

Examines the damaging consequences of a liberalism that seems almost obligatory within modern Western universities and in literature and art

In the twentieth century what had been open-minded inquiry gradually gathered an assumption that judgement, particularly moral judgement, had no part in a university education. In this shift, counter-culture became the most prestigious intellectual position, but the costs were not considered. Because liberals have insisted that intolerance is morally unacceptable, the only forms of intolerance that we can now perceive are extreme. Liberalism has handed to the extremists the only realistic option for taking a different view.

Object Lessons Spacecraft Timothy Morton Space travel can seem like a waste of resources or like human destiny. But what are spacecrafts and just what can they teach us about imagination, ecology, democracy and the nature of objects? Based primarily around this infamous Star Wars vehicle the Millennium Falcon, Spacecraft takes readers on an intergalactic journey through science fiction and speculative philosophy, revealing real-world political and ecological lessons along the way. Philosopher Timothy Morton shows how the Millennium Falcon is a spacecraft par excellence, offering readers not just flights of fancy, but new ground to stand on.

TIMOTHY MORTON is Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University, USA. He is the author of sixteen books, including Being Ecological (Penguin, 2018) and Humankind: Solidarity with Nonhuman People (Verso, 2017), and 200 essays on philosophy, ecology, literature, music, art, architecture, design and food.

Train A. N. Devers Triggering severe nostalgia and denoting adventure, mystery, and glamour, the passenger train is still portrayed as the most romantic mode of transportation in history. But what does long-distance travel by train really add up to today? In 2005, after quitting not only a successful museum job, but a profession, writer A. N. Devers bought a 30-day rail pass and circumnavigated the United States (and a bit of Canada), disembarking and visiting over a dozen towns and cities, finding that the passenger car was at once adventure and a nightmare—the promise of self-discovery and renewal via train trip was only a daydream. Instead she emerged from her 8,111-mile journey with a close view of America’s crumbling infrastructure and the decaying communities alongside the tracks. The train, it turns out, is a portal to what might have existed if America’s rails hadn’t been sold off and bought out. LITERARY CRITICISM | LITERARY THEORY A. N.
