POWERFUL READING.

The First Socialist Society A History of the Soviet Union from Within

Geoffrey Hosking Here is a compelling and often tragic history of what Soviet citizens have lived through from 1917 to the present. Through Hosking's analysis of this vast and complex country, we come to understand how ideas of Marxism have changed, taking on almost unrecognizable forms by unique political and economic circumstances. 15 halftones, 3 maps, 9 tables $29.50

The King of Time Poems, Fictions, Visions of the Future

Velimir Khlebnikov Translated by Paul Schmidt Edited by Charlotte Douglas

"In earlier translations, Khlebnikov seemed a writer of genius, never less than astonishing, inexhaustibly stilumlating; and untranslatable. Now he really does exist in English: the linguistic performance of Paul Schmidt is dazzling-an important, unexpected gift."-Susan Sontag 13 halftones, 6 line illus. $18.50

Vygotsky and the Social Formation of Mind

James V. Wertsch In a book of intellectual breadth James Wertsch offers a synthesis and critique of all Vygotsky's major ideas. Drawing extensively on Vygotsky's works, the author presents a program for using Vygotskian theory as a guide to contemporary research in the social sciences and the humanities.
