I and Thou, Martin Buber's classic philosophical work, is among the 20th century's foundational documents of religious ethics. "The close association of the relation to God with the relation to one's fellow-men ... is my most essential concern," Buber explains in the Afterword. Before discussing that relationship, in the book's final chapter, Buber explains at length the range and ramifications of the ways people treat one another, and the ways they bear themselves in the natural world. "One should beware altogether of understanding the conversation with God ... as something that occurs merely apart from or above the everyday," Buber explains. "God's address to man penetrates the events in all our lives and all the events in the world around us, everything biographical and everything historical, and turns it into instruction, into demands for you and me." Throughout I and Thou, Buber argues for an ethic that does not use other people (or books, or trees, or God), and does not consider them objects of one's own personal experience. Instead, Buber writes, we must learn to consider everything around us as "You" speaking to "me," and requiring a response. Buber's dense arguments can be rough going at times, but Walter Kaufmann's definitive 1970 translation contains hundreds of helpful footnotes providing Buber's own explanations of the book's most difficult passages. --Michael Joseph Gross.

AMERICAN G ID-E SERIES NORTH DAKOTA A GUIDE TO THE NORTHERN PRAIRIE STATE Written by Workers of the Federal Writers 3 Project of the Works Progress Administration for the State of North Dakota SPONSOEED BY THE STATE HISTOHICAL SOCIETY or NORTH DAKOTA Illustrated KNIGHT PBINTING COMPANY FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA 1938 . WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION Harry L. Hopkins, Administrator Ellen S. Woodward, Assistant Administrator Henry G. Alsberg, Director, Federal Writers Project FOREWORD As Governor of the State of North Dakota, I am happy to write the foreword to the first comprehen sive guidebook that has ever been written for this State. Compiled by North Dakota writers, the pub lication of this book has been made possible by means of Federal and State funds. The importance of this book lies, not only in calling the attention of tourists and other outsiders to the picturesque scenery and the places of historical significance in North Dakota but in awakening the consciousness of North Dakota people to the historical, sociological, and cultural heri tage which is theirs. Signed WILLIAM LAKGER, Governor of North Dakota. PREFACE North Dakota a Guide to the Northern Prairie State is some thing new in this part of the country. For the first time North Dakotans and their guests have a concise but comprehensive survey of the State, which tells them what should be seen, and why, and how. Our aim has been a book not only to be used in touring the State, but to be enjoyed by fireside travellers and all who would deepen their understanding of North Dakota. As one of the volumes in the American Guide Series, written by the members of the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration, the North Dakota guide has more than State significance, wide as this is. The National project was de signed primarily to give useful employment to needy writers and research workers it has developed into a more ambitious under taking. The American Guide Series, covering the forty-eight States, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and numerous cities and towns, is unrolling a unique and inspiring panorama of these United States with their lively background and their vibrant present. The North Dakota guide adds its contribution to the whole, giving the reader a pic ture of the State, its land and resources, its history, people, the cities and towns they have built, and the principal points of interest. New chapters in North Dakotas story and other phases of its life and works are still to be told. This volume a pioneer enter prise in a State where the records of the past and the varied life of today had not heretofore been assembled may well serve as an incentive and a foundation for further books. Not ten or fifty or a hundred, but actually hundreds of North Dakotans helped in the making of the guide, from the many who contributed information about their own communities or fields of work down to the handful of editors and writers who brought that information within the covers of this book. In expressing the Projects appreciation of this friendly and cooperative help, so generously given, I wish particularly to thank Mr. Russell Reid, superintendent of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, and his staff, especially Mrs. Florence H. Davis and Mr. Arnold Goplen Mr. George Will and Mr. Robert A. Ritterbush, of Bismarck Dr. Irvin Lavine, of the University of North Dakota Mr. E. A. Milli gan, of Michigan City Mr. J. A. Patterson, of Minot Dr. E. C. Stucke, of Garrison and Mr. Henry Williams, of Appaxn.
