This book demonstrates that there is much about the New Deal that can be characterized as environmental, once one substitutes the word 'environmental' for 'conservation'. Indeed, the scholarship that is contained within this extraordinary book will help correct the widely held view that the New Deal is virtually a blank space in the history of modern environmentalism. In fact, the New Deal carried forward and greatly extended the work of the Progressive Conservation Era, and in many ways helped establish the foundation for the modern environmental movement.

Almost half a million books printed in the fifteenth century survive in collections worldwide. In Incunabula in Transit Lotte Hellinga explores how and where they were first disseminated. Propelled by the novel need to market hundreds of books, early printers formed networks with colleagues, engaged agents and traded Latin books over long distances. They adapted presentation to suit the taste of distinct readerships, local and remote. Publishing in vernacular languages required typographical innovations, as the chapter on William Caxton’s Flanders enterprise demonstrates. Eighteenth-century collectors dislodged books from institutions where they had rested since the sales drives of early printers. Erudite and entertaining, Hellinga’s evidence-based approach, linked to historical context, deepens understanding of the trade in early printed books.

Building a "special relationship" between the United States and Great Britain was a top priority for President Theodore Roosevelt, the talented, hands-on diplomatist who occupied the White House from 1901 until 1909. William Tilchin's Theodore Roosevelt and the British Empire looks closely at Roosevelt's views of and responses to British positions and actions during many important diplomatic episodes, including the Anglo-German attack on Venezuela, the Alaskan boundary dispute, the Russo-Japanese War, the Moroccan crisis, and the Newfoundland fisheries trouble, with particular attention being paid to the previously untold stories of the Jamaica incident of 1907 and the Olympic Games controversy of 1908. Theodore Roosevelt and the British Empire ultimately takes a larger view of Roosevelt's relationship with Great Britain as Tilchin probes the president's outlook on the British Empire's contribution to the maintenance of international peace and to the progress of civilization.
