Popular Culture and Philosophy: Book 32 - 1st printing. "Darkness on the Edge of Truth!" Edited by Randall E. Auxier and Doug Anderson. The working man's poet, the Boardwalk prophet, or simply, the Boss. If "love is a banquet at which we feed," Bruce Springsteen has provided much food for thought. Ponder love, madness, and mansions of glory. In this collection of metaphysical probes, a gang of E-street philosophers will undress Bruce's deeper mysteries like irresistible Jersey girls. So, drop those brats at your mom's, come down to the river, and learn how to step in it twice. Fourteen philosophers examine everything Springsteen. Can Springsteen settle the nature-nurture debate through his song "Born to Run"? What do the famous philosopher Ricoeur and Springsteen have in common in their depiction of time? These die-hard Springsteen fans, who just happen to be philosophers, compile an entertaining handbook to the field of Springsteen studies, covering topics like Springsteen's connection to Marx and the proletariat, Springsteen's concept of the soul, and his status as a poet. Sure to delight any fan of Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen and Philosophy takes the reader to a new, deeper understanding of Springsteen, his music, and his place in American culture! Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 318 pages, Text only. Cover price $18.95.

1st printing. Written by Lucinda Gosling. It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but, during World War I, newspaper illustrations were worth even more, not only conveying the news to anxious families at home and soldiers in battle, but also entertaining and lifting the spirits of a nation at war. The illustrations included range from light-hearted strip cartoons and line drawings, to poignant sketches and dark and hard-hitting political satire. The images not only depict events as they happened, but reveal all the moods of a nation at war. Many are published here for the first time in 90 years, creating a unique, bittersweet portrayal of the Great War and a fascinating and very human, historical and artistic reference source. Hardcover, 9 1/2-in. x 12-in. 200 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $34.95.
