“Forces of Nature”
San Francisco Bay is the most historically consequential estuary on the Pacific coast of the Western Hemisphere. From the California gold rush through the mid-twentieth century, the infilling and polluting of the bay had gone on without interruption until three University of California, Berkeley, faculty/administrator wives stepped out of their comfort zones and acted.

Desperate equilibrium
This paper is about the role of guilt in relation to practical reason. It analyses guilt not as a passive emotion but as a particular kind of strategy at the level of subjective rationality. The concept of guilt occupies a complex and contested semantic space with other concepts, most notably shame. There have been many attempts – philosophical, psychological, sociological – to define these concepts in relation to each other. This paper suggests …

Trade or War? America's Annexation of Hawaii Reconsidered
ALTHOUGH MOST historians of United States-Hawaiian diplomacy recognize that trade and war were important in bringing Hawaii into the Union, the consensus seems to be that the Spanish-American War was mainly responsible for annexation.' Trade with the Orient and racial strife with Japan have, for the most part, been treated as background or secondary reasons for America's acquisition of Hawaii. This writer agrees with Thomas A. Bailey's intimation…
