The ancient Greeks paraded enormous sculptural replicas in annual celebration. Freud theorized that women envied them. An undeniable, global symbol of power and virility since the beginning of humankind, the penis has been much discussed, gestured toward, and depicted, yet seldom understood outside folklore and popular culture’s uneasy mix of self-deprecation and aggrandizement. Despite the penis’s central role in human life or perhaps due to that role, nearly every man seems to suffer in isolation or silence from some perceived inadequacy or affliction. That’s where experienced urologist and sexologist Mels van Driel October 500 p., 30 halftones 51/2 x 81/2 comes in. In Manhood, he offers an unprecedented history of the ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-542-4 Cloth $35.00 penis—with answers to everything you ever wanted to know, and even History some questions you’d never thought to ask. Manhood considers the NSA male sexual organ from medical, psychological, and cultural perspectives. Van Driel’s fascinating study ranges from circumcision to infertil- ity and from impotence to the speed of ejaculation. Psychological factors that have an impact on sexual experience, as well as contemporary phenomena, such as cybersex, are given enlightening treatment along the way as well. With good humor and much insight, van Driel offers diverse and instructive examples. This informative guide is not just a book for men, but for women too—anyone curious to know the facts behind the many myths and stories of the penis.

Mels van Driel is a urologist and sexologist at the University Medical Center in Groningen in the Netherlands. He has written widely for scientific publications, newspapers, and magazines. Paul Vincent has been a translator from Dutch and German to English for twenty years.

Reaktion Books 105 Thor Gotaas Running A Global History Translated by Peter Graves

n the past decade, the number of Americans who consider themselves runners has more than doubled—in 2008, more than 16 Imillion Americans claimed to have run or jogged at least one hundred days in the year. Though running now thrives as a convenient and accessible form of exercise, it is no surprise to learn that the craze is not truly new; humans have been running as long as they could walk. What may be surprising, however, are the myriad reasons why we have performed this exhausting yet exhilarating activity through the

106 Reaktion Books Elisabeth Hardouin-Fugier A History of Bullfighting Translated by Sue Rose

s Ernest Hemingway wrote in Death in the Afternoon, “Bull- fighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of A death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter’s honor.” Art? Ritual? Sport? Cruelty? Though opinions are divided, one thing is certain: bullfighting sparks passionate responses. Supporters argue that bullfighting is a culturally November 224 p., 50 color plates, important tradition stretching back thousands of years, while animal 50 halftones 71/2 x 94/5 ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-518-9 rights groups argue that it is cruel and barbaric, causing unnecessary Paper $35.00 suffering to both bulls and horses. In A History of Bullfighting, Elisabeth History NSA Hardouin-Fugier brings clarity to this debate through an exploration of the long history of killing bulls as public spectacle. A History of Bullfighting is the first cross-cultural study of bullfighting, covering Europe and the Americas. Hardouin-Fugier shows how each continent has its own unique style and tools of the trade. For example, in North America, the favored technique is grabbing the bull by the horns, but in Europe the bull is run through with a sword. In the late 1700s, bullfights became mass leisure activities, with paying spectators packing into arenas—the classic bullfight of popular imagination. It was at this time that the bullfight became a big business and the bullfighter became a celebrity. In this vivid and comprehensive history, Hardouin-Fugier also explores the extensive influence of the bullfight on art, literature, and culture from the paintings of Goya to the writings of Georges Bataille. Enriched with many fascinating and sometimes disturbing illustrations, A History of Bullfighting presents a discerning and intelligent approach to a divisive practice. Hardouin-Fugier’s informative history will enthrall anyone who has been curious about bullfighting—supporters and detractors alike.

Elisabeth Hardouin-Fugier is professor of art history at the Université Jean Moulin in Lyon. She is the author of A History of Floral Painting and A History of French Still Life in the Nineteenth Century and coauthor of Zoo: A History of Zoological Gardens in the West, also published by Reaktion Books.

Reaktion Books 111 Ian J. Bickerton The Arab-Israeli Conflict A History

hough more than sixty years have passed since the signing of the proclamation of the State of Israel, the impact of that Tepochal event continues to shape the political policies and public opinion of not only the Middle East but much of the world. The consequent conflict between Arabs and Israelis for sovereignty over the land of Palestine has been one of the most bloody, intractable, and drawn-out of modern times. It continues today in cycles of aggressive violence followed by temporary, tenuous ceasefires that are marked Contemporary Worlds and complicated by resolute opinions and fractious religious ideolo- gies. In this timely volume, noted military historian Ian J. Bickerton July 256 p. 51/2 x 81/2 cuts through the complex perspectives in order to explain this struggle ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-527-1 Paper $24.95 in objective detail, describing its history from the dissolution of the Ot- history NSA toman Empire following World War I to the present day. In concise and clear prose, Bickerton argues that the present problem can be traced to the fact that each side is trapped by a conception of their past from which they seem unable to break free. This attachment and reaction to history has had a negative influence on the decision making of Arabs and Israelis since 1948. Ultimately, Bickerton maintains that the use of armed force has not, and will not, resolve the issues that have divided Israelis and Arabs. The Arab-Israeli Conflict is a plea for reasoned diplomacy in a situation that has been dominated by extreme violence. This book will appeal to a wide general audience seeking a balanced understanding of an enduring struggle that still dominates headlines today.

112 Reaktion Books John Dixon Hunt, David Lomas, and Michael Corris Art, Word and Image 1,000 Years of Visual/ Textual Interaction

hat does it mean to say that a painting has been “invaded” by language? Art, Word and Image answers this question W by exploring how visual images and writing can work in dialogue in an artwork.

Art, Word and Image, one of the first books to examine the use of language in art, is constructed around three major chronological essays by renowned scholars John Dixon Hunt, David Lomas, and Michael Corris. Each charts the use and significance of words in art— from classical Greece through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the digital age. The three central essays comment upon a variety of movements, and woven throughout are more than three hundred images from many very well-known artists, including Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, Paul Klee, and Jasper Johns. Also featured are shorter essays that spotlight work by artists who engage substantially with the intersection of the visual and written. Art, Word and Image will be an influential volume in art criticism, providing the framework for future scholarship in the field.

John Dixon Hunt is professor of the history and theory of landscape at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the editor of the journal Word and Image and the author of Nature Over Again: The Garden Art of Ian Hamilton Finlay. David Lomas is a reader in art history at the University of Manchester.

118 Reaktion Books Jean-Paul Sartre Portraits Translated by Chris Turner

hilosopher Jean-Paul Sartre counted among his friends and associates some of the most esteemed intellectuals, writers, and Partists of the twentieth century.

Translated by Chris Turner With Images by Alain Willaume

ehind every image, something has disappeared. And that is the source of its fascination,” writes French theorist Jean BBaudrillard in Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? In this, one of the last texts written before his death in 2007, Baudrillard meditates poignantly on the question of disappearance. Throughout, he weaves an intricate set of variations on his theme, ranging from the “Baudrillard got there first, many times. potential disappearance of humanity as a result of the fulfillment of its And now his self-imposed task is to shock goal of world mastery to the vanishing of reality due to the continual us into realising that thought and the transmutation of the real into the virtual.

Seagull Books 123 Tariq Ali The Idea of Communism

ovember 9, 2009, will mark twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the monumental event that signaled the begin- Nning of the end of Communism in the former Soviet Union. Why was this collapse of Communism considered final, while the many failures of capitalism are considered temporary and episodic? In The Idea of Communism, Tariq Ali addresses this very question. The idea of Communism, argues Ali, was simple and noble. The Communist Manifesto, which advocated the creation of a society based on the principle of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” rather than a system based on greed and profit, appealed to millions all over the globe. However, Ali argues that the “Ali broadens our horizons, geographical- vision of society adumbrated by the founders of Communism was a far ly, historically, intellectually, and politi- cry from what became known as actually existing socialism in the So- cally.

Seagull Books 133 Robert Samuel Roche and Aric Lasher Plans of Chicago

his year Chicago celebrates the centennial of the publication of the visionary Plan of Chicago. Daniel Burnham and his Tcoauthor, Edward Bennett, reimagined the American city as a vibrant, interconnected whole. Their Plan is responsible for much of Chicago’s public character, including its open lakefront and expansive park system. Plans of Chicago, the inaugural publication of the Chicago-based Architects Research Foundation, uses the 1909 Plan as a point of de- parture for a proposed reconnection of Chicago’s center to its outlying November 160 p., 45 color plates, suburbs.

Along the way they identify Chicago’s persistent planning problems, and then compare the Plan of Chicago to other proposals, including those by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jens Jensen, Walter Burley Griffin, Eliel Saarinen, and Ludwig Hilberseimer. This historical analysis is the springboard for a new plan to manage Chicago’s future growth. The authors reframe the central city’s relationship to the larger Chicago area, proposing new designs for Grant Park and Congress Street and Aric Lasher, 2009. new planning models for urban neighborhoods and the suburbs.

National Journal Group 143 Margaret Willes Pick of the Bunch Twelve Treasured Flowers

n the dark, bitter days of winter, when the ground lies frozen and snow-covered, it can be hard to believe that mere months before, I gardens and window boxes were bursting forth with fragrant, colorful blossoms. Today on the frosty walk home, at least we can pick up cut flowers at the store to remind us of the spring to come. But before the technological miracles of hothouses and refrigeration, flowers could only be captured for the winter months by artists and painters. Some of the finest flower-pieces ever painted were by Dutch and Flemish artists in the seventeenth century, depicting flowers in vases of metal and porcelain, sometimes with insects and butterflies nestling in petals or clinging to stalks. From these flower-pieces we can see what Europeans of the time considered desirable flowers: the rose, iris, carnation, lily, snowdrop, violet, fritillary, narcissus, tulip, daffodil, and hyacinth—many of which are still our favorites today. Alongside lush color botanical illustrations, Pick of the Bunch presents the social history of these flora—how they arrived in our gardens; how they were bought, acquired, and displayed; and who were their devotees and cultivators. The book delves into their symbolic associations in classical and Christian traditions and examines the complex language of flowers employed by the Victorians. Beautiful to behold and engagingly written, Pick of the Bunch is a wonderful gift for any garden lover and will be a warm, much-needed glimpse of spring and summer throughout the cold, barren months.

lvis Presley. Pompadours. Black-and-white creeper shoes. Cuffed jeans. And a little bit of James Dean Erebellion. These are just some of the ingredients of the modern Rockabilly style. Despite being generations removed from the original Rockabillies of the 1950s, today’s Rockabilly subculture has adopted the look—the slicked-back hair or Center Books on American Places the Bettie Page bangs—and the sound—from Carl Perkins to Buddy Holly—of mid-twentieth-century American youth culture.

October 96 p., 45 color plates 91/2 x 9 In The Rockabillies, photographer Jennifer Greenburg offers a visual ISBN-13: 978-1-930066-99-1 tour of a unique global subculture and her own place within it. The Cloth $50.00s/£34.50 Photography individuals her photographs capture are examples of the Rockabilly scene, who have fully embraced the aesthetic values of the 1950s. What intrigues Greenburg is that these contemporary Rockabillies choose to overlook the social and political realities of the time period they adore and emulate. The subculture today has become a hybrid of texts and images—frequently taken out of context—from an era that saw race riots, cultural upheaval, and little hope for middle-class advancement. Few, if any, members of the Rockabilly culture would actually want to live in the postwar era; rather, the imagery and ideals have been adapted to serve as a wistful interpretation of that time.

Jennifer Greenburg completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received her MFA from the University of Chicago. Her work is featured in the collections of the Museum of Contem- porary Photography in Chicago and the Rose Gallery in California, among others.

Featured artists include Jean Arp, George Brecht, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Max Ernst, Ellsworth Kelly, François Morellet, Robert Morris, Jackson Pollock, and Niki de Saint Phalle, among many others. Featuring essays by Susan Laxton, Meredith Malone, and Janine Mileaf that draw connections across media and disciplines while linking the genesis and meaning of artistic production through chance to larger sociocultural, historical, and theoretical contexts, Chance Aesthetics also includes extended entries on all works in the exhibition, focusing on the processes employed and the rhetoric used to describe and theorize them.

Along the way, she makes insightful connections between botanical art, science, and culture. Plant illustrators, Saunders shows, found innovative ways to convey both a plant’s beauty and its use. For example, today, when we see a picture in which a plant is framed by white space, we simply assume that it is a convention of botanical illustration. But in the seventeenth century, the same arrangement reflected contemporary gardening practices—each plant was set in its own separate bed. Picturing Plants captures both the complex cultural history and the distinctive loveliness of botanical illustration. This updated second edition will be a welcome addition to the shelves of art historians and avid gardeners. “An excellent beginning point for those interested in botanical illustration as well as general readers interested in the art and photography of plants and professionals in the botanical and horticultural fields.”—Choice

n the fateful night of April 14, 1912, if you could have stood behind the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic as she went down in Othe frigid waters off of the Great Banks of Newfoundland, the last sight that would have flashed before your eyes as the great ship sank would have been the word “Liverpool.” The loss of such a storied liner, a national and international catastrophe, was also a tragedy for its home port—and this fascinating, first-of-its-kind volume explores the history and myths surrounding the sinking in terms of the extraordinary stories that link Europe’s preeminent port city of Liverpool and its most famous maritime loss.

We also find out what happened to the survivors when they went on with their lives following the ship’s sinking. Filled with previously unpublished source material and illustrations, Titanic and Liverpool will be compulsory reading for anyone interested in the fateful events of that unforgettable night.
