The world watched in horror last autumn as the ruthless Islamic State commonly referred to as ISIS marched on the small city of Kobane in northern Syria No one expected the city to survive the attack But it did Mixedgender militias with small arms held one of the most feared armies in the world at bay The smoke cleared and Kobane still stoodAnd western media attention moved onThe YPG and the YPJ the militias who held the city were fighting for their lives and their land But even more than that they were fighting to defend their their revolution the Rojava Revolution When the Assad regime began to fall Kurds and other ethnic minorities in northern Syria carved out pockets of liberty and started one of the greatest social experiments the world has ever seen Based on their own history of struggle and on the writings of social ecologist Murray Bookchin the people of Rojava have developed an antistate and anticapitalist way of life Its a way of life that values feminism direct democracy ecological stewardship and ethnic linguistic and religious pluralism And right now 25 million people are trying their hardest to defend their revolution against ISIS attacks from the south and an international trade embargo ruthlessly enforced by Turkey to the northBetween language barriers cultural barriers and an international trade embargo it can be hard to understand what is happening there It can be hard to understand how to support the people of Rojava in their revolution But in this short book scholars and militia fighters alike explore and explain the situation in plain language They discuss the Rojava principles that bind the region together and they discuss what it means to be in solidarity with those fighting in Rojava But even beyond that they discuss what we can learn from the brave women and men of Rojava

The Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century has often been called a decisive turning point in human history It represents for good or ill the birth of modern science and modern ways of viewing the world In What Galileo Saw Lawrence Lipking offers a new perspective on how to understand what happened then arguing that artistic imagination and creativity as much as rational thought played a critical role in creating new visions of science and in shaping stories about eyeopening discoveries in cosmology natural history engineering and the life sciences When Galileo saw the face of the Moon and the moons of Jupiter Lipking writes he had to picture a cosmos that could account for them Kepler thought his geometry could open a window into the mind of God Francis Bacons natural history envisioned an order of things that would replace the illusions of language with solid evidence and transform notions of life and death Descartes designed a hypothetical Book of Nature to explain how everything in the universe was constructed Thomas Browne reconceived the boundaries of truth and error Robert Hooke like Leonardo was both researcher and artist his schemes illuminate the microscopic and the macrocosmic And when Isaac Newton imagined nature as a coherent and comprehensive mathematical system he redefined the goals of science and the meaning of genius What Galileo Saw bridges the divide between science and art it brings together Galileo and Milton Bacon and Shakespeare Lipking enters the minds and the workshops where the Scientific Revolution was fashioned drawing on art literature and the history of science to reimagine how perceptions about the world and human life could change so drastically and change forever

In this bold exploration of the political forces that shaped Impressionism Albert Boime proposes that at the heart of the modern is a guilty secretthe need of the dominant mainly bourgeois classes in Paris to expunge from historical memory the haunting nightmare of the Commune and its socialist ideology The Commune of 1871 emerged after the Prussian war when the Paris militia chased the central government to Versailles enabling the working class and its allies to seize control of the capital Eventually violence engulfed the city as traditional liberals and moderates joined forces with reactionaries to restore Paris to orderthe bourgeois order Here Boime examines the rise of Impressionism in relation to the efforts of the reinstated conservative government to rebuild Paris to return it to its Haussmannian appearance and erase all reminders of socialist threat Boime contends that an organized Impressionist movement owed its initiating impulse to its complicity with the states program The exuberant street scenes spaces of leisure and entertainment sunlit parks and gardens the entire concourse of movement as filtered through an atmosphere of scintillating light and color all constitute an effort to reclaim Paris visually and symbolically for the bourgeoisie Amply documented richly illustrated and compellingly argued Boimes thesis serves as a challenge to all cultural historians interested in the rise of modernism

Reimagining Democracy in the Age of Revolutions charts a transformation in the way people thought about democracy in the North Atlantic region in the years between the American Revolution and the revolutions of 1848 In the mideighteenth century democracy was a word known only to the literate It was associated primarily with the ancient world and had negative connotations democracies were conceived to be unstable warlike and prone to mutate into despotisms By the midnineteenth century however the word had passed into general use although it was still not necessarily an approving term In fact there was much debate about whether democracy could achieve robust institutional form in advanced societiesIn this volume a cast of internationallyrenowned contributors shows how common trends developed throughout the United States France Britain and Ireland particularly focussing on the era of the American French and subsequent European revolutions Reimagining Democracy in the Age of Revolutions argues that modern democracy was not invented in one place and then diffused elsewhere but instead was the subject of parallel reimaginings as ancient ideas and examples were selectively invoked and reworked for modern use The contributions significantly enhance our understanding of the diversity and complexity of our democratic inheritance
