Ignorance: A Philosophical Study provides an in-depth exploration of ignorance in its many dimensions. Philosophers have long examined epistemological concepts like belief, knowledge, and understanding, but they have paid less attention to ignorance.

Among the questions he addresses are: What kinds of ignorance are there? What does ignorance excuse? When is ignorance culpable?

From cave-ins and lung diseases to toxic sludge and water contamination, mining operations create a host of social and environmental problems, now including climate change. Breaking Ground tells the story of mining conflicts in Latin America, where ore extraction has become a big business. Based on a decade of research in gold mining towns, corporate headquarters, and legislative chambers, Rose J. Spalding develops a new interpretation of how mining operations secure government approval while also unpacking the circumstances under which anti-mining mobilizations come out on top.

In Developing Scholars, Domingo Morel explores the history and political factors that led to the creation of community-centered affirmative action programs for students of color in the 1960s. Through a case study of an existing program, Talent Development, Morel shows how protest, including violent protest, has been instrumental in the maintenance of college access programs. He also reveals that in response to the college expansion efforts of the 1960s, hidden forms of restriction emerged that have significantly impacted students of color. Developing Scholars argues that the origin, history, and purpose of these programs reveal gaps in our understanding of college access expansion in the US that challenge conventional wisdom of American politics.

In 1989 three Soviet republics--Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, known as Baltic countries--started a determined push for independence, risking to destabilize the Soviet Union and to derail international negotiations on German reunification.
