“An essential and immersive
look at ‘what happens when we
sideline privacy concerns in the
interest of profit motives and
police imperatives.’”

— Publishers Weekly
(starred review)

“Offers exquisitely formulated
arguments in support of robotic
exploration in space. Along the
way, Goldsmith and Rees
occasionally tell us what we
don’t want to know, but in the
end we find ourselves com-
pelled to agree with them.”

— Neil deGrasse Tyson,
author of Space Chronicles

“Rousing and authoritative...
attempt[s] to recover the Con-
stitution’s pivotal role in shaping
claims of justice and equality.”

“[A] major contribution to our
knowledge of the sheer rich-
ness and importance of the
world of East Rome in its initial
headlong centuries.”

— Peter Brown, New York
Review of Books

“Excellent... With a sure touch,
the authors lead the reader
through the geopolitical con-
text of the Hebrew Bible and
the setting and background
of the New Testament, finding
something to say about practi-
cally every book’s origins and
development.”

—John Barton, The Tablet

“A brilliant book. Olivarius’s
insightful reading of sources
and beautiful writing give us a
new and important way to think
about slavery, race, health, and
hierarchy. This transformative
work is a pivotal addition to
the scholarship on American
slavery.”

— Annette Gordon-Reed,
author of On Juneteenth

“Reveals how prestigious natural
scientists once sought physi-
cal explanations, in vain, for a
social identity that continues to
carry enormous significance to
this day.”

— Nell Irvin Painter, author of
The History of White People

“This is political economy on a
grand scale, a starting point
for debate about the future of
progressive politics.”

— Michael J. Sandel, author of
The Tyranny of Merit
