Though best known as the author of the landmark 1961 work The Destruction of the European Jews , the historian Raul Hilberg produced a variety of archival research, personal essays, and other works over a career that spanned half a century. The Anatomy of the Holocaust collects some of Hilberg’s most essential and groundbreaking writings—many of them published in obscure journals or otherwise inaccessible to nonspecialists—in a single volume. Supplemented with commentary and notes from Hilberg’s longtime German editor and his biographer, it not only offers a multifaceted look at the man and the scholar, but also traces the evolution of Holocaust research from a marginal subdiscipline into a diverse and vital intellectual project.

“Directed by Desire . . . is a powerful addition to the entire canon of American poetry.”—Booklist Now in paperback, Directed by Desire is the definitive overview of June Jordan’s -poetry. Collecting the finest work from Jordan’s ten volumes, as well as dozens of “last poems” that were never published in Jordan’s lifetime, these more than six hundred pages overflow with intimate lyricism, elegance, fury, meditative solos, and dazzling vernacular riffs. As Adrienne Rich writes in her introduction, June Jordan “wanted her readers, listeners, students, to feel their own latent power—of the word, the deed, of their own beauty and intrinsic value.” From “These Poems”: These poems they are things that I do in the dark reaching for you whoever you are and are you ready? The cloth edition of Directed by Desire was selected as a Library Journal Poetry Book of the Year and received the Lambda Book Award for Lesbian Poetry. June Jordan taught at UC Berkeley for many years and founded Poetry for the People. Her twenty-eight books include poetry, essays, fiction, and children’s books. She was a regular columnist for The Progressive and a prolific writer whose articles appeared in The Village Voice, The New York Times, Ms. Magazine, and The Nation. After her death in 2002, a school in the San Francisco School District was renamed in her honor.

«Україна, 1918: Хроніка» – це огляд найбільш значущих для історії нашої Батьківщини подій, що трапилися у скорочений календарною реформою рік. Проголошення самостійності Української Народної Республіки, укладення Брест-Литовського миру з Центральними державами, гетьманський переворот і проголошення Української Держави під керівництвом Павла Скоропадського, заснування Української Академії наук, антигетьманське повстання під проводом Директорії та відновлення Української Народної Республіки – такої «програми» цілком могло вистачити на декілька десятиліть, але усе це і навіть більше вмістив у себе короткий 1918-й. Основну увагу приділено тим подіям, які, на думку автора, є найбільш важливими, цікавими й визначальними для подальшого розвитку нашої країни. Популярний виклад матеріалу в поєднанні з ілюстраціями й наведеними історичними джерелами (державними документами, газетними повідомленнями, щоденниковими записами і спогадами військових та політичних діячів того часу) сприяє легкому прочитанню і дає змогу усвідомити, скільки зусиль було докладено для того, щоб Україна стала незалежною.
