A pioneering exploration of four cities where East meets West and past becomes future: St. Petersburg, Shanghai, Mumbai, and Dubai. Every month, five million people move from the past to the future. Pouring into developing-world “instant cities” like Dubai and Shenzhen, these urban newcomers confront a modern world cobbled together from fragments of a West they have never seen. Do these fantastical boomtowns, where blueprints spring to life overnight on virgin land, represent the dawning of a brave new world? Or is their vaunted newness a mirage?

Originally released in 1880 to widespread acclaim, the novel transports readers to Washington in the 1870s, during the presidencies of Grant and Hayes. At its heart is Madeleine Lee, a wealthy and independent young widow who leaves her life in New York to delve into the political landscape of the capital.

Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893) stands as one of the most distinguished clergymen of the nineteenth century, renowned for his exceptional preaching and deep compassion. Serving as the rector of Trinity Church in Boston for most of his life, he briefly held the position of Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts from 1891 to 1893. Brooks was not only a celebrated preacher but also a devoted patriot, advocating for the North during the American Civil War and boldly opposing slavery. His poignant sermon on the death of Abraham Lincoln captured the essence of both men’s characters. Although he was ...

With rigorous original scholarship and creative narration, Lisa Brooks recovers a complex picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance during the "First Indian War" (later named King Philip's War) by relaying the stories of Weetamoo, a female Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc scholar, whose stories converge in the captivity of Mary Rowlandson. Brooks leads us to a new understanding of the history of colonial New England and of American origins.

Few have faced adversity like Alvin Brooks has. He was born into an impoverished family, he nearly lost his adoptive father to the justice system of the South, and he barely survived a health crisis in infancy. However, his greatest challenges would be learning how to navigate a racist society as a young boy and then later protecting his beloved wife, Carol, and their six children. Despite all the adversity he faced, Brooks became a lifelong leader and a servant of his community.

In The Accident of Color, Daniel Brook journeys to 19th-century New Orleans and Charleston and introduces us to cosmopolitan residents who elude the racial categories the rest of America takes for granted. Before the Civil War, these free, openly mixed-race urbanites enjoyed some rights of citizenship and the privileges of wealth and social status. But after Emancipation, as former slaves move to assert their rights, the black-white binary that rules the rest of the nation begins to intrude.
