  "The Idea of Progress" by J.B. Bury is a seminal work in the history of ideas, first published in 1920. In this book, Bury explores the concept of progress, tracing its development from ancient times to the modern era. He examines the ways in which people have understood and pursued progress throughout history, and the impact that this has had on the world. 
  Bury argues that the idea of progress is a central feature of Western civilization, and that it has shaped the course of history. He shows how the idea of progress emerged in ancient Greece and Rome, and how it was further developed during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Bury also examines the ways in which progress has been measured and evaluated over time, and how it has been used to justify social and political change. 
  Throughout the book, Bury offers a nuanced and critical perspective on the idea of progress. He acknowledges the many benefits that progress has brought, but also highlights the negative consequences of pursuing progress without sufficient consideration for its wider impact. He argues that progress should be guided by ethical considerations, and that we must be mindful of the unintended consequences of our actions. 
  "The Idea of Progress" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that continues to influence contemporary debates about the meaning and value of progress. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the world.

  A groundbreaking look at how a predominantly white faith-based group reset the terms of the fight to integrate US cities. 
   
  The bitterly tangled webs of race and housing in the postwar United States hardly suffer from a lack of scholarly attention. But Tracy K’Meyer’s To Live Peaceably Together delivers something truly new to the field: a lively examination of a predominantly white faith-based group—the Quaker-aligned American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)—that took a unique and ultimately influential approach to cultivating wider acceptance of residential integration. Built upon detailed stories of AFSC activists and the obstacles they encountered in their work in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Richmond, California, To Live Peaceably Together is an engaging and timely account of how the organization allied itself to a cause that demanded constant learning, reassessment, and self-critique. K’Meyer details the spiritual and humanist motivations behind the AFSC, its members’ shifting strategies as they came to better understand structural inequality, and how those strategies were eventually adopted by a variety of other groups. Her fine-grained investigation of the cultural ramifications of housing struggles provides a fresh look at the last seventy years of racial activism.

  Leonardo da Vinci - An...

  Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) never signed a painting, and none of his supposed self-portraits can be securely ascribed to his hand. He revealed next to nothing about his life in his extensive writings, yet countless pages have been written about him that assign him an identity: genius, entrepreneur, celebrity artist, outsider. Addressing the ethical stakes involved in studying past lives, Stephen J. Campbell shows how this invented Leonardo has invited speculation from figures ranging from art dealers and curators to scholars, scientists, and biographers, many of whom have filled in the gaps of what can be known of Leonardo's life with claims to decode secrets, reveal mysteries of a vanished past, or discover lost masterpieces of spectacular value. 
   
   
   
  In this original and provocative book, Campbell examines the strangeness of Leonardo's words and works, and the distinctive premodern world of artisans and thinkers from which he emerged. By investigating the politics and cultural tensions of the era as well as the most recent scholarship on Leonardo's contemporaries, workshop, and writings, Campbell places Leonardo back into the milieu that shaped him and was shaped by him. He shows that it is in the gaps and contradictions of what we know of Leonardo's life that a less familiar and far more historically significant figure appears.
