Hailed in the New York Observer as a "utopian gesture in a city that has been mired in grim realities, " A New Deal for New York is a stirring call-to-arms from the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Mike Wallace. Written with the same verve and gusto of his Edwin G. Burrows's monumental Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898, this new book is the most sweeping and ambitious response to the terrorist attacks. In it, Wallace argues that we not just rebuild and memorialize the World Trade Center site, but rethink and plan more broadly for the entire city's future. He tells the fascinating and ...

A quarter-century after its first publication, A Shopkeeper's Millennium remains a landmark work--brilliant both as a new interpretation of the intimate connections among politics, economy, and religion during the Second Great Awakening, and as a surprising portrait of a rapidly growing frontier city.

Paul E. Johnson explores the reaso...

In a small Tlingit village in 1992, newly converted members of an all-native church started a bonfire of "non-Christian" items including, reportedly, native dancing regalia.
