"The publication of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses has given rise to wide-ranging and often bitter debate about the extent and limits of toleration in a modern multicultural society. This book calmly and carefully explores several features of that debate, and also places it in a wider context of philosophical concern about the proper relationship between liberalism, multiculturalism and toleration under modern conditions. The essays focus primarily on theoretical questions but they are always alert to the practical significance and implications of these questions. A wide variety of points of view is represented and, though the book raises issues of concern to everyone, it should be of particular value to those with a professional or academic interest in the problems presented by a multicultural society and to all those who have been challenged or confused by the frequently intemperate arguments which have surrounded the publication of Rushdie's novel. -- Book jacket.

In Saigon during the waning days of the Vietnam War, a small-time journalist named John Converse thinks he'll find action - and profit - by getting involved in a big-time drug deal. But back in the States, things go horribly wrong for him. Dog Soldiers perfectly captures the underground mood of America in the 1970s, when amateur drug dealers and hippies encountered profiteering cops and professional killers—and the price of survival was dangerously high.

“I think it A Work of genius, I think it The Work of a Genius, I think it brilliant, splendid, etc. If there is literature (and this proves there is) this is where it’s at.” –John Cheever A Penguin Classic Saul Bellow’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel explores the long friendship between Charlie Citrine, a young man with an intense passion for literature, and the great poet Von Humboldt Dleisher. At the time of Humboldt’s death, Charlie’s life is falling apart: his career is at a standstill, and he’s enmeshed in an acrimonious divorce, infatuated with a highly unsuitable young woman, and involved with a neurotic Mafioso.

Working in the tradition of such legendary animal painters as John James Audubon, Walton Ford brings new life and vigor to the great legacy of artist/natural historians. The sheer visual beauty and superb workmanship makes a startling contrast with their sometimes violent imagery and trenchant political and social commentary on history, colonialism, and the precarious relationship between man and animal. Walton Ford: Tigers of Wrath, Horses of Instruction is the first survey of his paintings. This volume includes an essay by screenwriter Steven Katz, who describes the artist's formative years and developing interest in natural history. In his interview with Dodie Kazanjian, the artist discusses the complex interweaving of ideas, personal memories, and historical events that forms the imaginative and intellectual armature of his paintings.
