About this product
Product Information
One of the most exciting crime and mystery series debuts of the year. Think Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell. - When a bundle of frozen body parts tumbles out the rear door of a van on a Los Angeles freeway, FBI agent Scott Houston knows just where to go for an off-the-record analysis: Agency 32/1, a non-profit missing persons identification resource center run by forensic anthropologists Jayne Hall and Steelie Lander. Jayne and Steelie quickly determine that the remains are human, though from several women. But Scott's call has unintended consequences for the two women, putting their lives in jeopardy, as their unique skills uncover evidence leading directly to the killer . . .

An excellent starting point for the study of Thoreau as a political thinker.... This necessary companion for any serious student or scholar comprises Turner's informative overview of Thoreau's reemergence in contemporary political theory; eight reprinted essays published in the last 15 years by such established scholars as Nancy Rosenblum, Bob Pepperman Taylor, Jane Bennett, and Turner himself; eight new essays; a judiciously selected bibliography of commentary since 1950; and a substantive index. Critically and conceptually the collection covers a lot of ground., "The world knows Thoreau as a transcendentalist and literary naturalist, but less as a political thinker. Turner moves us in a fresh direction with this provocative new collection of essays by leading scholars in political science, philosophy, and ethics." -- William L. Howarth, Princeton University, former editor in chief of The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau, Critically and conceptually the collection covers a lot of ground, with essays arranged in four broad topics, ranging from debating Thoreau's identity as a democrat; analyzing his reception in post-1060s politics; his contributions to political theory, classical as well as contemporary; and the meteaphysical and ethical dimensions of his politics., "Over a dozen authors write a chapter that explores Thoreau's political activism, and through this gain an glimpse of the political discourse that led to the start of the American Civil War." -- Naval District of Washington Waterline, A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau sheds new light on Thoreau's literary repertoire.... The collection also serves Thoreau well by setting him apart from his literary contemporaries.... [It] lift[s] Thoreau out of the American literary canon and recontextualize his work within the traditions of political theory. As such, researchers working beyond the confines of nineteenth-century literature will benefit greatly from this collection., "Jack Turner has given us a remarkable and exemplary collection of essays in his A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau ... It is a special merit of the way in which this collection of essays is conceived and organized that it presents itself as an ongoing conversation in which the individual critics discuss, again and again, not only and conventionally the philosophical opinions and political stances advanced by their predecessors, but also the positions taken by their colleagues in the volume itself." -- Amerikastudien, "A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau sheds new light on Thoreau's literary repertoire....

If there is a chief concern in Turner's collection, it is the debate over whether Thoreau wrote and acted from private or public motives, whether his desire was to clear his own conscience or to repair the tear in the fabric of the American republic by speaking out against war and slavery., Promises to reinvigorate debates about a whole range of under explored themes in Walden and in the political thought of nineteenth-century America.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
