Labor Unions and American Mass Politics
A comprehensive exploration of how labor unions, broadly conceived, shape party loyalties in the American mass public. How and why do labor unions matter for American mass party loyalties, specifically party identification and vote choice? Labor Unions and American Mass Politics marshals a wide range of survey data to test two different ways through which labor unions can shape mass party loyalties. The first is via people's personal affiliation with organized labor, such as a current/former member or household resident, while the second is via people's attitudes toward organized labor, such as whether they favor vs. disfavor unions in general. Overall, author David Macdonald shows that both are capable of shaping mass support for the Democratic Party and its various political candidates and that such relationships are also conditioned by whether people perceive labor unions and Democrats to be political allies, a connection that is lacking among a sizeable minority of Americans. Overall, Macdonald provides not only a timely analysis of mass labor politics in the early twenty-first-century United States but also shows that labor unions are politically consequential, even after decades of decline.

Shinto
From time immemorial, the Japanese people have worshipped Kami--spirits that inhabit or represent a particular place, or embody natural forces like the wind, rivers, and mountains. Whenever a new settlement was founded a shrine would be erected for the spirits of that place to honor them and ensure their protection. It was believed that Kami could be found everywhere, that no place in Japan was outside their dominion. Shinto encompasses the doctrines, institutions, ritual, and communal life based on Kami worship. The ideal of Shinto, central to this study, is a construct in which a monarch rules through rituals for the Kami, a priestly order assists the sovereign by coordinating rituals, and the people who fulfill their obligations to the collective are in turn blessed by the Kami. Center and periphery join together in untroubled harmony through this theatre of state. Helen Hardacre offers for the first time in any language a sweeping, comprehensive history of Shinto, which is practiced by some 80% of the Japanese people. The basic building blocks of this vast and varied tradition, she shows, include the related concepts of imperial rule and ritual, the claim that rituals for the Kami are public in character, and the assertion that this complex web of ideas and institutions devoted to the Kami embodies Japan''s "indigenous" tradition. This study addresses the story of the emergence and development of these elements and the debates that surround them to this day. Because Shinto is centered on the Kami, it might be assumed that it is a religion, but Hardacre resists that assumption, instead questioning the character of the tradition at each stage of its history. She analyzes and deconstructs the rhetoric of Shinto as a defining feature of Japan''s racial identity, inextricably woven into the fabric of Japanese life. This definitive study represents a first, momentous step towards a more developed understanding of Shinto.
Colette
French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873–1954) was a strikingly modern celebrity. The most photographed author of the twentieth century, her marketing genius stretched from hair products themed after her most famous character to her own line of cosmetics. Beloved during her lifetime by critics on both the left and the right, and later embraced by feminists of the 1960s and ’70s, Colette’s works explored women’s lives, from schooling to careers, maternity, ageing and sexuality. Colette’s life was no less varied than her often self-referential works, including affairs with men and women, three marriages, a stage career and roles as a journalist and literary editor. Kathleen Antonioli explores Colette’s storied life, work, private correspondence and carefully crafted public persona.

Egyszer minden titokra fény derül.
A vőlegényem öt évvel ezelőtt eltűnt. Itt maradtam egy esküvői ruhával, amit sosem fogok viselni. Begyógyíthatatlan sebeket hagyott maga után. A férfi, akivel le akartam élni az életemet, nyomtalanul eltűnt. Nem hagyott hátra mást, csak a darabokra tört szívemet és millió megválaszolatlan kérdést.
Mígnem egy nap rejtélyes idegen érkezik a városba.
A magas, komor és veszélyes Kage legalább annyira titokzatos, mint amennyire szívdöglesztő. Tudom, hogy rejteget valamit, mégis úgy vonzódom hozzá, akár a molylepkék a fényhez. Minden pillantásunkkal izzik köztünk a levegő, a vágy szenvedéllyé alakul, én pedig nem tudok neki ellenállni, menthetetlenül belehabarodom.
Ám rájövök, azért küldték, hogy behajtsa az eltűnt vőlegényem ki kifizetetlen tartozását...
És az adósság én vagyok.
