I think William E. Connolly is so important he deserves an obit in the New York Times. He passed away overnight at 87 and I am thinking of Jane, his family, friends, students and colleagues who have such wonderful memories of his teaching and friendship.

Rigour and bravery in his words.

Sad to read about the passing of the great William Connolly. A wonderfully creative political theorist who has left us with such a rich body of work. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at Essex in 2008 & chat with him afterwards. The family death notice is lovely www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Graphic reading New Books out this month with covers of Protein, unrest in the nebulae, Breaking the World, The Climate Trial, Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures, Tension, and Matterphorics arranged in a 3x4 grid.

Grab some Spring Break reading from our March new releases! We've got some really great new books this month.

Oh wow, that is really sad news. Connolly's book Why I Am Not A Secularist is one of my favourites, a very clever critique of the inconsistencies and evasions of much left liberal politics.

I will be at the Leather Archive and Museum in Chicago on March 15th! Come by and get your books signed.

If the line between poison and remedy is shaped by power, whose health—and soil—gets sacrificed for the promise of progress? This book responds by tracking Tanzanian plants and healers who refuse to let “toxicity” remain invisible.
