Outsider Animals
“This is a truly compelling book, rich with scientific expertise and humor.”—Isabella RosselliniFrom one of our foremost experts on behavioral evolution, an entertaining exploration of what raccoons, rats, and other animal intruders teach us about intelligence, adaptability, and ourselvesWhen we think of animals that provide the greatest insights into animal cognition and behavior, primates and honeybees come to mind, or perhaps whales or octopus. What about the raccoons that plunder our rubbish at night, or the coyotes that threaten pets and livestock, or the gulls that divebomb for snacks at the beach? Outsider Animals challenges everything you thought you knew about the overlooked animals that live in proximity to humans, sharing the stories that each has to tell about adaptation and cohabitation on our increasingly crowded planet. Marlene Zuk gives us a new appreciation for the animals we often shun, explaining why these unpopular creatures have something special to teach us not only about the ways we deal with other species but about our own place in nature and what it means for an animal to belong somewhere. You will discover how coyotes and snakes shed light on our coevolution with predators, what cockroaches tell us about the evolution of pregnancy, how butterflies make us reconsider the effects of roadside pollution, how cowbirds and mynas are forcing ecologists to think differently about invasive species, and much more. Writing with an infectious blend of humor and curiosity, Zuk invites us to reflect on our relationships with these close-to-home creatures and the ways our lives encroach on theirs, and to draw lessons from their behavior in all its fascinating complexity.
A Real Right to Vote
Why it’s time to enshrine the right to vote in the ConstitutionThroughout history, too many Americans have been disenfranchised or faced needless barriers to voting. Part of the blame falls on the Constitution, which does not contain an affirmative right to vote. The Supreme Court has made matters worse by failing to protect voting rights and limiting Congress’s ability to do so. The time has come for voters to take action and push for an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee this right for all. Drawing on troubling stories of state attempts to disenfranchise military voters, women, African Americans, students, former felons, Native Americans, and others, Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted. He shows how a constitutional right to vote can deescalate voting wars between political parties that lead to endless rounds of litigation and undermine voter confidence in elections, and can safeguard democracy against dangerous attempts at election subversion like the one we witnessed in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. The path to a constitutional amendment is undoubtedly hard, especially in these polarized times. A Real Right to Vote explains what’s in it for conservatives who have resisted voting reform and reveals how the pursuit of an amendment can yield tangible dividends for democracy long before ratification.

Where Harvard Went Wrong
Where Harvard Went Wrong contains Harvey Mansfield’s addresses, spanning fifty years, to Harvard colleagues and students. Mansfield’s plea is, and has always been, that Harvard abandon its partisanship with the left and adopt instead a bipartisan position that welcomes conservatives as well as liberals. With the humor and grace necessary to a longtime lone conservative voice, Mansfield tackles the consequences that intolerant wokeism has wrought upon the university. In a collection of seven articles reproduced from the undergraduate newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, Mansfield treats the clash between Harvard and the Trump administration: he covers Harvard’s unsteady self-conception as an Ivory Tower, affirmative action for conservatives, free speech and protest speech, and the misconceived division between science and the humanities. Altogether, not confining himself to complaints of injustice, he shows what conservatives might offer to improve American higher education. In other, varied speeches and articles from 1975 to the present, Mansfield contrasts the new and the old Harvard, setting the stage for the conflict today; offers a reform curriculum for a college with ambition; and studies the insidious effects of rampant grade inflation and the forfeiture of merit-based grading. In Where Harvard Went Wrong, one professor stands up to a whole faculty, offering arguments rather than evasions and equivocation, and keeping as his lodestar the principle that education must conserve the tradition of learning as well as progress beyond the present. This book is meant for both parties—a guide for conservatives and a gentle, friendly reproach to liberals.
