Joe's Magazine
In 1992 the first issue of Joe's appeared causing a sensation with its bold integration of art and fashion. The lavish presentation combined the eroticism of Bruce Weber's photos, the delicacy of Paul Cadmus drawings, and the ennui of the memoirs of actor Dirk Bogarde. Edited and published by fashion stylish extraordinaire Joe McKenna, the magazine re-defined style and quickly became a hard to find collectors item. After a very long wait Joe's is back again. This time contributors include Mario Sorrenti, Jurgen Teller, David Sims, Amy Spindler as well as new work by Bruce Weber and Steven Miesel. Joe says this issue will take a subversive view of fashion, so look out!

The Taft Court
An authoritative survey of the Taft Court, which served from 1921 to 1929, and the impact it had on the U.S. legal system, social order, economics, and politics. William Howard Taft's experience in the executive branch gave him a unique perspective on the court's work. He initiated judicial reform and was the prime mover behind the Judiciary Act of 1925, which gave the court wide latitude to accept cases based on their importance to the nation. The Taft Court decided about 1,600 cases during its nine terms. This book examines the "aggregate" personality of the court through discussions of individual voting characteristics, bloc alignments, and other patterned behavior. It also charts the strengths and weaknesses of the rulings and demonstrates Taft's penchant for increasing the impact of decisions by pursuing consensus among the justices, two of whom were his own appointees when he served as president.
Bounty and Benevolence
Arthur Ray, Jim Miller, and Frank Tough draw on a wide range of documentary sources to provide a rich and complex interpretation of the process that led to these historic agreements. The authors explain how Saskatchewan treaties were shaped by long-standing First Nations' Hudson's Bay Company diplomatic and economic understandings, treaty practices developed in eastern Canada before the 1870s, and the changing economic and political realities of western Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Ray, Miller, and Tough also show why these same forces were responsible for creating some of the misunderstandings and disputes that subsequently arose between the First Nations and government officials regarding the interpretation and implementation of the accords. Bounty and Benevolence offers new insights into this crucial dimension of Canadian history, making it of interest to the general reader as well as specialists in the field of First Nations history.
