In 1904, after an absence of more than 20 years, Henry James returned to America and spent a year in the much changed country before returning to his adopted home of England. The result of this visit was a book James was tempted to call "The Return of the Native," but the alienation caused by his absence resulted in his choosing instead The American Scene. This book, first published by the English house of Chapman and Hall in 1907, offers a Jamesian picture of turn-of-the-century America. A new edition of The American Scene was published recently by St. Martin's [$16.95 cloth]. James A. Miller's Running in Place: Inside the Senate, with an introduction by pundit George F. Will, is now available as a Touchstone Book [$6.95]. Another recent Touchstone Book is Charles M. Haar and Daniel Wm. Fessler's Fairness and Justice: Law in the Service of Equality, a reexamination of our legal and political heritage [$9.95]. Rudy Behlmer's Inside Warner Bros. (1935—1951) describes "the battles, the brainstorms, and the bickering—from the files of Hollywood's greatest studio" and was recently reissued as a Fireside Book [$8.95]. Kentucky has come out with a new edition of Lowell H. Harrison's The Civil War in Kentucky, which the Journal of American History lauded as a "compact, judicious account" of America's bloodiest war in the Bluegrass state [$12.00 cloth]. Bison Books is offering a paper edition of Agnes Dean Cameron's The New North: An Account of a Woman's 1908 Journey through Canada to the Arctic [$9.95]. Delmore Schwartz' The Ego Is Always at the Wheel, edited with an introduction by Robert Phillips, a collection of bagatelles ranging from such topics as the taking of baths to the importance of an automobile, has been reissued as a New Directions Paperbook [$8.95]. Perennial Library has come out with a new edition of The Language of Nuclear War: An Intelligent Citizen's Dictionary, a work compiled by Eric Semler, James Benjamin, and Adam Gross [$9.95].
