  From Honolulu to Brooklyn: Running the American Empire’s Base Paths with Buck Lai and the Travelers from Hawai’i

  Joel S. Franks

  From 1912 to 1916, a group of baseball players from Hawaiʻ i barnstormed the U.S. mainland. While initially all Chinese, the Travelers became more multiethnic and multiracial with ballplayers possessing Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian, and European ancestries. As a group and as individuals the Travelers' experiences represent a still much too marginalized facet of baseball and sport history. Arguably, they traveled more miles and played in more ball parks in the American empire than any other group of ballplayers of their time. Outside of the major leagues, they were likely the most famous nine of the 1910s, dominating their college opponents and more than holding their own against top-flight white and black independent teams. And once the Travelers’ journeys were done, a team leader and star Buck Lai gained fame in independent baseball on the East Coast of the U.S., while former teammates ran base paths and ran for political office as they confronted racism and colonialism in Hawaiʻ i.

  California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom: COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

  Larry N. Gerston, Mary Currin-Percival, and Garrick L. Percival

  Less than two years after California Governor Gavin Newsom’s overwhelming election victory, more than two million Californians signed on to a recall effort, hoping to expel him from office in a special election. This book explains that paradox and, in the process, enlightens readers about the recall process, the challenges of federalism, and the pitfalls of direct democracy. It examines the underlying conditions that expose a state with poorly linked institutions, a bitterly divided society, and a governor who had to act under nearly impossible conditions, demonstrating his strengths and vulnerabilities along the way.

  Intermediate Dynamics

  Patrick Hamill

  This advanced undergraduate physics textbook presents an accessible treatment of classical mechanics using plain language and clear examples. While comprehensive, the book can be tailored to a one-semester course. An early introduction of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms gives students an opportunity to utilize these important techniques in the easily visualized context of classical mechanics. The inclusion of 321 simple in-chapter exercises, 82 worked examples, 550 more challenging end-of-chapter problems, and 65 computational projects reinforce students' understanding of key physical concepts and give instructors freedom to choose from a wide variety of assessment and support materials. This new edition has been reorganized. Numerous sections were rewritten. New problems, a chapter on fluid dynamics, and brief optional studies of advanced topics such as general relativity and orbital mechanics have been incorporated. Online resources include a solutions manual for instructors, lecture slides, and a set of student-oriented video lectures.

  Introduction to Quantum Computing: From a Layperson to a Programmer in 30 Steps

  Hiu Yung Wong

  This textbook introduces quantum computing to readers who do not have much background in linear algebra and quantum mechanics.

  Public Faces, Secret Lives: A Queer History of the Women's Suffrage Movement

  Wendy L. Rouse

  The women’s suffrage movement, much like many other civil rights movements, has an important and often unrecognized queer history. In Public Faces, Secret Lives Wendy L. Rouse reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the suffrage movement included a variety of individuals who represented a range of genders and sexualities. However, owing to the constant pressure to present a “respectable” public image, suffrage leaders publicly conformed to gendered views of ideal womanhood in order to make women’s suffrage more palatable to the public. Rouse argues that queer suffragists did take meaningful action to assert their identities and legacies by challenging traditional concepts of domesticity, family, space, and death in both subtly subversive and radically transformative ways. Queer suffragists also built lasting alliances and developed innovative strategies in order to protect their most intimate relationships, ones that were ultimately crucial to the success of the suffrage movement. Public Faces, Secret Lives is the first work to truly recenter queer figures in the women’s suffrage movement, highlighting their immense contributions as well as their numerous sacrifices.

  Allison M. Johnson

  The Left-Armed Corps collects and annotates a unique and little-known body of Civil War literature: narrative sketches, accounts, and poetry by veterans who lost the use of their right arms due to wounds sustained during the conflict and who later competed in left-handed penmanship contests in 1865 and 1866.

  Rhetoric and Guns

  Lydia Wilkes, Nate Kreuter, and Ryan Skinnell

  Rhetoric and Guns collects 14 chapters from scholars in rhetoric, communication, education, and related fields to elucidate the relationship of rhetoric and guns. Guns and gun violence occupy a unique rhetorical space in the United States, one characterized by silent majorities, vocal minorities, and a political stalemate that fails to stem the tide of the dead. Guns are ever present in the US, they exercise powerful functions, but they are commonly talked about in oblique, unsystematic ways. The authors in this book hope to advance more direct, systematic engagement with rhetoric about guns, guns in rhetoric, and guns as rhetoric.

  《中國哲學研究的方法論反思：比較哲學與哲學分析》(Reflections on Methodology in Studies of Chinese Philosophy: Comparative Philosophy and Philosophical Analysis)

  Bo Mou

  This edited anthology is a sister volume with Bo Mou’s recent monograph book Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy: A Constructive-Engagement Account (New York and London: Routledge, 2020 /2022 paperback). The theme of this volume is to give a further theoretic exploration of the complementary relation between two major general methodologies in doing philosophy in view of contemporary studies of Chinese philosophy, i.e., comparative-philosophy methodology (as a general way of doing philosophy through cross-tradition engagement toward world philosophy, of which foregoing monograph book gives a systematic exploration) and analytic methodology (one representative methodology in contemporary studies of philosophy). This edited volume thus has its general methodological significance in doing philosophy (not only to studies of Chinese philosophy) and further enhance the theoretic and methodological points made in the monograph book on this front of research.

  CHANGE!: A Guide to Teaching Social Action

  Scott Myers-Lipton

  CHANGE! A Guide to Teaching Social Action is for faculty, staff, and students who are interested in developing a college course or co-curricular experience using social action. Social action occurs when everyday people band together to develop their power in order to change policy. What distinguishes a social action class from other social change courses is that students are actively involved in enacting a policy change of their choice, thus providing students with a first-hand experience of democracy and power. As part of the social action class, students can start a new campaign, keep a campaign going from the previous semester, reactivate a campaign from a previous year, or join a community campaign. The goal of this book is to train the next generation of democratic citizens and participants. The hope is that if teaching social action is mainstreamed in higher education, students will be able to do democracy more effectively, and help to preserve it at the same time. More specifically, the book provides an overview of the history of college social action, explores what needs to be considered before starting a social action class, explains how students choose their campaigns and launch them, and how students plan, implement, and evaluate their campaigns.
