George H. W. Bush
The American Presidents Series: The 41st President, 1989-1993
The American Presidents
Timothy Naftali; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and Sean Wilentz, General Editors
Times Books
"This is a well-timed book . . . It's easy to forget how many truly history-making events occurred on the watch of Bush I. Naftali covers them all—the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Yugoslavia, the first Gulf War (with its uncertain conclusion seen through very different eyes given the current Iraq War)—in an informative, yet easily digestible style."—

Gerald R. Ford
The American Presidents Series: The 38th President, 1974-1977
The American Presidents
Douglas Brinkley; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., General Editor
Times Books
"Although Brinkley calls the pardon and its 'healing' effect on America Ford's most enduring legacy, he deftly describes other achievements. These including ending the divisive Vietnam War while doing his best to aid South Vietnam's refugees; helping to forge the 1975 Helsinki Accords that led the Soviet Union to acknowledge basic human rights and opened the way for its collapse, and fiscal policies that cut inflation in half and, according to Brinkley, boosted the U.S. economy out of its lowest trough since the Great Depression."—

May-lee Chai and Winberg Chai
St. Martin's Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books
"This is an intricately orchestrated cross-generational memoir, and one that is particularly successful in linking the world of China in the first half of the twentieth century to the opportunities and ambiguities of those Chinese who grew up as Americans. It is a subtle book that resonates in the mind as well as being a true family history that spans moods and generations."—

Global Woman
Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy
Edited by Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Russell Hochschild
A Metropolitan/Holt Paperbacks Book
"This very interesting collection focuses on the multiple effects of globalization on women and their families. Among its subjects are the rise in female migration, the transfer of domestic services from low- to high-income countries, the care crisis left behind by transnational families, and the problems of international sex tourism. The different essays raise key questions and are important reading for our time."—

The Government of Self and Others
Lectures at the College de France, 1982-1983
Michel Foucault; Translated by Graham Burchell; Edited by Frédéric Gros; General Editors: François Ewald and Alessandro Fontana; English Series Editor: Arnold I. Davidson
Picador
"The publication of Foucault's lectures is momentous not only because they deepen our understanding of his books and essays, but because they dramatically change the way we read him. This study of the ancient practice of parresia—philosophical truth-telling—forces us to abandon the view that his late thought was a turn way from politics. The key question in these lectures is the relationship between philosophy and politics: their necessary dependence, but impossible coincidence. The political significance of philosophy was an acute problem for Foucault throughout his life. It remains a definitive question today for anyone concerned with the future of Western political thought and practice."—

Growing Up Fast
Joanna Lipper
Picador
"In nearly 400 fast-paced pages of wonderfully evocative prose, much of it in the words of her six subjects, all teen mothers, Lipper has actually conveyed the social and personal history of a growing class of Americans for whom there is little help and less hope. But [these] people [possess] inner lives, and this is what Lipper is so deft at communicating . . . [Her book] will burden the conscience of its readers."—
