Failure
Why Science Is So Successful
Stuart Firestein
Key Selling Points
• Provides a fascinating insider's view of the way everyday science is acually done
• Features intriguing case histories of how individual scientists rely on failure to direct
their research
• A mustread for anyone curious about science
Summary
The general public has a glorified view of the pursuit of scientific research. However,
the idealized perception of science as a rulebased, methodical system for accumulating
facts could not be further from the truth. Modern science involves the idiosyncratic,
often bumbling search for understanding in uncharted territories, full of wrong turns,
false findings, and the occasional remarkable success.

In his sequel to Ignorance (Oxford University Press, 2012), Stuart Firestein shows us
that the scientific enterprise is riddled with mistakes and errors and that this is a good
thing! Failure: Why Science Is So Successful delves into the origins of scientific research
as a process that relies upon trial and error, one which inevitably results in a hefty dose
of failure. In fact, scientists throughout history have relied on failure to guide their
9780199390106
019939010X research, viewing mistakes as a necessary part of the process. Citing both historical
Pub Date: 10/1/2015 and contemporary examples, Firestein strips away the distorted view of science as

Marion Nestle, Mark Bittman, Neal Baer

so much and to have such devastating health and food policy consequences?
• The first book to focus on the history, politics, nutrition, and health of soda,
integrating public health science with historical and cultural research

Summary
Sodas are astonishing products. Little more than flavored sugarwater, these drinks
cost practically nothing to produce or buy, yet have turned their makersprincipally
CocaCola and PepsiCointo a multibilliondollar industry with global recognition,
Oxford University Press distribution, and political power. Billed as "refreshing," "tasty," "crisp," and "the real

Status:UNSPECIFIED
In Soda Politics, Dr. Marion Nestle answers this question by detailing all of the ways that
the soft drink industry works overtime to make drinking soda as common and accepted
as drinking water, for adults and children. Dr. Nestle, a renowned food and nutrition
policy expert and public health advocate, shows how sodas are principally miracles of
advertising; CocaCola and PepsiCo spend billions of dollars each year to promote their
sale to children, minorities, and lowincome populations, in developing as well as
industrialized nations. And once they have stimulated that demand, they leave no stone
unturned to protect profits. That includes lobbying to prevent any measures that would
discourage soda sales, strategically donating money to health organizations and
researchers who can make the science about sodas appear confusing, and engaging in
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to create goodwill and silence critics.
Soda Politics follows the money trail wherever it leads, revealing how hard Big Soda
works to sell as much of their products as possible to an increasingly obese world.

But Soda Politics does more than just diagnose a problemit encourages readers to help
find solutions. From Berkeley to Mexico City and beyond, advocates are successfully
countering the relentless marketing, promotion, and political protection of sugary drinks.
And their actions are having an impact for all of the hardball and softball tactics the
soft drink industry employs to maintain the status quo, soda consumption has been flat
or falling for years. Health advocacy campaigns are now the single greatest threat to
soda companies' profits. Soda Politics provides readers with the tools they need to keep
up pressure on Big Soda in order to build healthier and more sustainable food systems.

Quotes

"The soda industry is a powerful economic operator. Economic power readily translates
into political power. Soda Politics is exactly the kind of carefullyresearched
investigative reporting needed to open the eyes of the public and parliamentarians to
the health hazards of what is, as the author rightly notes, essentially liquid candy in a
bottle." Dr. Margaret Chan, DirectorGeneral, World Health Organization
"No book in history has so completely laid bare the soda scourge that touches every
corner of the world. Marion Nestle shows how this happened, its impact on human
health and wellbeing, who the players are, and, most importantly, what might be done.
This is the right book at the right time." Dr. Kelly Brownell, Dean, Sanford School of
Public Policy, Duke University
"Marion Nestle is one of the greatest muckrakers of our time, and what she does is
vitally importantfor our health, our environment, and for future generations. Here, she
wages war against the soda titans with such piercing clarity and so many irrefutable
truths that all other arguments crumble." Alice Waters, Founder and Proprietor of Chez
Panisse
"Comprehensive and wellwritten, this book will help frame a thoughtful public policy
debate about nutrition and the societal impacts and costs of obesity." Ann M.
Veneman, Former US Secretary of Agriculture and Former Executive Director of UNICEF
"What happens when the food industry's most insightful critic turns her sights on soda?
This razorsharp, fun to read, planofbattle for one of the greatest public health fights
of our time. Big soda may have all the money, but those who would enter this fray, as
we all should, now have their champion." Michael Moss, Author of Salt Sugar Fat: How
the Food Giants Hooked Us

"For decades, soda companies have amassed fortunes off drinks that are making us sick.
It took someone like Marion Nestle to cut through the spin and uncover the high cost of
cheap sodas." Robert Kenner, Director/Producer, Food Inc. and Merchants of Doubt
"An outstanding manual for health educators, activists, and anyone seeking information
about the soda industry and its impact on health." Library Journal

In the late sixteenth century, a prominent Albanian named Antonio Bruni composed a

Mediterraneanin 1571, and a highly placed interpreter in Istanbul, formerly

Quotes

"A book that will serve as an antidote to all crude nationalism, and to many historical
stereotypes. It brings the reader back to an era long before the nationstate, when
personal loyalties and religious coalitions were perpetually shifting." The Economist
"Noel Malcolm's magnificent Agents of Empire uses the intertwined stories of two
Albanian families the Brunis and the Brutis as a prism through which to view the
contacts and the conflicts that made the early modern Mediterranean...It is impossible
to read Malcolm's account without a sense of its resonances for today." The Guardian
"There are very few scholars with Malcolm's linguistic skills and historical vision, which is
one of the many reasons Agents of Empire is such an important book." The Telegraph
"Agents of Empire is both a work of impeccable and original scholarship and a splendidly
readable account of a critical moment in the history of both Eastern and Western
Europe, and both Christendom and Islam." David Abulafia, The Times Literary

The Sceptical Optimist
Why Technology Isn't the Answer to Everything
Nicholas Agar
Key Selling Points
• Explores the ethical and philosophical issues that arise in connection with new
technology
• Challenges the view that progress in technology automatically results in increased
wellbeing
• Presents an alternative more realistic model of the impact
• Includes recent psychological studies on the nature and human perception of well
being
Summary
The rapid developments in technologies especially computing and the advent of many
'smart' devices, as well as rapid and perpetual communication via the Internet has led
to a frequently voiced view which Nicholas Agar describes as 'radical optimism'. Radical
optimists claim that accelerating technical progress will soon end poverty, disease, and
ignorance, and improve our happiness and wellbeing. Agar disputes the claim that
technological progress will automatically produce great improvements in subjective well
being. He argues that radical optimism 'assigns to technological progress an undeserved

Key Selling Points
• Provides an extensive yet accessible guide to many ancient texts

Summary
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are considered kindred religionsholding ancestral
heritages and monotheistic belief in commonbut there are definitive distinctions
between these "Abrahamic" peoples. Shared Stories, Rival Tellings explores the early
exchanges of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and argues that their interactions were
dominated by debates over the meanings of certain stories sacred to all three
communities.

Robert C. Gregg shows how Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interpretersartists as well as
authorsdeveloped their unique and particular understandings of narratives present in
the two Bibles and the Qur'an. Gregg focuses on five stories: Cain and Abel, Sarah and
Hagar, Joseph and Potiphar's Wife, Jonah and the Whale, and Mary the Mother of Jesus.

Quotes

"Jews, Christians, Muslimsall have sacred stories. Some overlap, some also compete.
No one has ever attempted to engage five of these Abrahamic sagas with equal
seriousness and unflinching honesty. Combining art with narrative analysis, Bob Gregg
has not only scaled the mountain, he has provided us a vista of the other side: a
luxuriant tableau of piety and performance, at once animating, unsettling and delighting
all who worship, or want to espy others who worship, the God of Abraham. A triumph, a
masterpiece, a classic." Bruce B. Lawrence, author of Who is Allah? (2015)

"Tragically, religious conflict is alive and well in the twentyfirst century. This is what
makes Shared Stories, Rival Tellings such a timely and inspiring work of scholarship, a
study that shows the interconnections among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scriptural
interpretation. There are other helpful introductions to early Jewish and Christian biblical
interpretation, but this volume makes its mark by enfolding Islam within its story andin
a move that makes this work even more of a gemby drawing on art history as well as
on texts. This work, dare I say it, is the opposite of religious extremism in its openness
and ability to engage multiple perspectives." Steve Weitzman, Herbert D. Katz Center
for Advanced Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania

"Robert Gregg brilliantly interweaves versions of Bible stories as Jews, Christians, and
Muslims variously tell themcomplementing, challenging, or clashing with one another
in a book that's fascinating and enormously informative about relationships within this
diverse, often contentious, family of traditions." Elaine Pagels, Harrington Spear Paine

Imperialism Past and Present

Key Selling Points
• Makes the highly provocative argument that western imperialism did not end with the
close of colonialism, but continues to define international relations today
• An accessible introduction to the concept
• Weaves in lively and engaging narrative to show the long historical roots of present
day imperialism
Summary
After a long hiatus, when it was seemingly banished to the wilderness of esoteric
academic debate, imperialism is back as one of the buzzwords of the day. In the past
decade many have invoked it as an old specter only to nervously deny its contemporary
applicability. A smaller, but highly significant minority has embraced it as a positive good
the only way out of the contemporary political impasse. Meanwhile, the term has
continued to be applied to the most diverse range of economic, political, cultural and
linguistic phenomena, as well as historical scope. From the Persian Empire of antiquity to
contemporary American military operations in the Middle East; from China's ongoing
economic penetration of Africa to the old Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, passing
through every real or perceived form of "hierarchy" and "privilege", imperialism is now

imperialism is hardly a political artifact. Rather it remains the mainspring of global

Quotes

"How did imperialism become such a decisive factor in modern history? This insightful
book uses both history and economics to address that great question. Ranging from
Joseph Conrad and Adam Smith to Rwanda and the Arab Spring, it sheds new light on a
force that continues to shape the world." Stephen Kinzer, author of The Brothers and
All the Shaw's Men

"Imperialism Past and Present is essential reading for anyone interested in current
events. A lucid book that returns a central category imperialism to our conversation
about what otherwise appears to be random disasters in remote places." Vijay Prashad,
author of The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World

"This superbly written, researched and argued book enables us to understand
contemporary international relations through the lens of historical continuities. All
students and scholars of these issues will benefit from reading it." Pádraig Carmody,
author of The New Scramble for Africa
"A wonderfully frank, lucid and irreverent primer. Sweeping with historical command from
Thucydides through King Leopold to Dien Bien Phu, it is uniquely powerful when
demonstrating why recent U.S. and European adventures the bombing of Serbia, the
invasion of Libya, the Rwandan genocide should be grouped with the classical
imperialisms of old. Sharp, feisty, and, in spite of everything, filled with hope." Timothy
Brennan, author of Wars of Position: The Cultural Politics of Left and Right
"The concept of imperialism in international relations has fallen from academic fashion,
but the practice of imperialism has continued uninterrupted. The post2001 War on
Terror has ushered in a whole new era of global interventions. Imperialism Past and
Present does an excellent job of linking up presentday imperialism with earlier historical
experiences, showing a broad continuity of imperial practices over long periods of time.
This is a welcome addition to the international relations literature, bound to trigger much
needed debate." David Gibbs, author of First Do No Harm: Humanitarian Intervention
and the Destruction of Yugoslavia

Contributor Bio

J. Eric Ahlskog, PhD, MD, is Professor of Neurology at the Mayo Medical School, and
Chair of the Mayo Section of Movement Disorders, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
Widely considered to be a leading authority on this disorder, he has more than 30 years
of experience treating people with Parkinson's Disease, both in the clinic as a fulltime,
patientseeing neurologist, and as a clinicalinvestigator responsible for PD treatment
protocols.
Quotes

"Eric Ahlskog of the Mayo Clinic is one of the country's leading experts in Parkinson's
disease. His The Parkinson's Disease Treatment Book is comprehensive and informative
and will be a welcome addition to the library of patients with Parkinson's disease and
their caregivers." Nathan Slewett, Chaiman Emeritus, National Parkinson Foundation

"Dr. Ahlskog writes with true authority based on his strong scientific background, vast
clinical experience, and ability to synthesize laboratory science and clinical acumen in a
manner digestible and useful for the nonphysician. 'Be a partner, not a patient' is an
admonition that is particularly constructive in optimizing the interactions between
patients with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers. In order to be an effective
partner, it is essential that patients and their caregivers develop a basic, core
understanding of the diagnosis, treatment, course, and likely complications of the
disease. A careful reading of The Parkinson's Disease Treatment Book is a substantial
first step for patients in assuming full partnership."G. Frederick Wooten, M.D.,
Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, American Parkinson Disease Association

"Dr. Ahlskog, one of the top specialists in Parkinson's disease, has put down in this
wonderful book uptodate information on all aspects of Parkinson's disease as well as
his extensive experience and wisdom gained by caring for, and especially caring about,
people with Parkinson's disease for over two decades. It is filled with practical
information and written in a style that is sophisticated enough to be useful but at the
same time easily understandable by people with Parkinson's disease, their friends, and
their families. As information is one of the most potent therapies for people dealing with
Parkinson's disease, this book represents a major treatment breakthrough."Stephen G.
Reich, M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Neurology, The University of Maryland
School of Medicine

"Dr. Ahlskog has provided a remarkably readable and immensely useful book on the
treatment of Parkinson's disease, addressed to patients and their caregivers. He lays
out a wise approach to this complex and multifaceted disease which comes from many
years of his own personal experience. What shines through is his very special sensitivity
to his patients and a lucid understanding of their needs. All aspects of the disease are
covered.... Special attention is paid to the many nonmotor problems that are all too
often neglected in the treatment of patients such as anxiety, depression, sleep
disorders, sexuality issues, and problems with bladder, bowel, and blood pressure
regulation. Most importantly, many of the myths and illconceived notions surrounding
the treatment of Parkinson's disease are met head on and convincingly dispelled."
Daniel Tarsy, M.D., Chief, Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center, Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center

"Dr. Ahlskog has again produced a uniquely informative, focused, and readable treatise
on Parkinson's disease. Unlike many other guides for Parkinson's patients, this one
doesn't attempt to present the entire confusing universe of disparate management
options, but rather presents the wellinformed opinions of a single seasoned and highly
respected practitioner. Virtually every rational question that a patient might pose is
addressed here using scientifically correct, but eminently understandable language.
Parkinson's disease patients, their caregivers, and their physicians will all benefit from
this treasure trove of clinical wisdom." Robert Rodnitzky, MD, Director of the Division of
Movement Disorders, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine
"Dr. Eric Ahlskog from the Mayo Clinic is the leading authority on Parkinson's disease.
With over thirty years of experience treating Parkinson's disease patients, Dr. Ahlskog
shares his expertise on treating all of the possible symptoms that a patient may
encounter in the different stages of PD. His advice is direct and understandable.
Patients and caregivers will turn to this book again and again over the years to answer
their questions and use the information to better partner with their healthcare providers
in achieving the best possible outcome. I will recommend this book to all of my patients
as the main source for learning about the disease and the available treatment options."
Kevin J. Klos, MD, Movement Disorder Clinic of Oklahoma
"Hundreds of questions will arise during the course of Parkinson's disease regarding
diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment options. Dr. Ahlskog draws on his decades of
neurological practice to lay out information that answers just about all of these
questions. Information is power, and the wellinformed patient is in the best position to
navigate this condition. The book can be read cover to cover, or the reader can turn to
the topic of interest and find explanations delivered in a conversational style. Many of
my patients use the first edition as a guide, and are eagerly awaiting this updated
version." Padraig O'Suilleabhain, MD, Associate Professor of Neurology and
Neurotherapeutics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
"Dr. Ahlskog has written a goto text: straight forward, downtoearth, and eminently
readable. With his PhD focused on pharmacology, and his many years of research and
clinical experience as a neurologist and a director of the Mayo Clinic's PD program, there
is no one I trust more than Eric. Unlike others in the field, he has never compromised
himself to the fashion of the day. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to
professionals, patients, and their families." Bradley C. Hiner, MD, Professor of

Summary
The assassination of the author Hrant Dink in Istanbul in 2007, a highprofile advocate
of TurkishArmenian reconciliation, reignited the debate in Turkey on the annihilation of
the Ottoman Armenians. Many Turks soon reawakened to their Armenian heritage,
reflecting on how their grandparents were forcibly Islamised and Turkified, and the
suffering their families endured to keep their stories secret. There was public debate
around Armenian property confiscated by the Turkish state and the extermination of the
minorities. At last the silence had been broken.

One Islam, Many Muslim Worlds
Spirituality, Identity, and Resistance across Islamic Lands
Raymond William Baker
Key Selling Points
• Focuses on the lived faith of the world's 1.4 billion Muslims
• Builds on the work of Islamic historians and intellectuals who characteristically
emphasize the underlying unities of a common historical experience
• Aims to generate sympathetic understandings between both Western and Islamic
actors in the conflict
Summary
By all measures, the late twentieth century was a time of dramatic decline for the
Islamic world, the Ummah, particularly its Arab heartland. Sober Muslim voices regularly
describe their current state as the worst in the 1,400year history of Islam. Yet,
precisely at this time of unprecedented material vulnerability, Islam has emerged as a
civilizational force strong enough to challenge the imposition of Western, particularly
American, homogenizing power on Muslim peoples. This is the central paradox of Islam
today: at a time of such unprecedented weakness in one sense, how has the Islamic
Awakening, a broad and diverse movement of contemporary Islamic renewal, emerged as
such a resilient and powerful transnational force and what implications does it have for
the West? In One Islam, Many Muslims Worlds Raymond W. Baker addresses this

The Book of Revelation in the Arts over Two Millennia
Natasha O'Hear, Anthony O'Hear
Key Selling Points
• A readerfriendly explanation of Revelation and its key themes
• Includes 120 illustrations, from all different periods and genres, giving insight into the
many different ways this text has stimulated and provoked artistic responses over the
ages
• Unique format whereby Revelation has been divided into ten wellknown themes

the theme in question ranging from the twelfth to the twentyfirst century
• Two 16 page color sections

• Glossary of theological and art historical terms
Summary
The book of Revelation has been a source of continual fascination for nearly two
thousand years. Concepts such as the Lamb of God, the Four Horsemen, the Seventh
Seal, the Beasts and Antichrist, the Whore of Babylon, Armageddon, the Millennium, the
Last Judgement, the New Jerusalem, and the ubiquitous angels of the Apocalypse have

Interpretation This book fills these gaps in a striking and original way by means of ten concise
REL006100 thematic chapters which explain the origins of these concepts from the book of
9.3 in W | 6.3 in H | 1.4 in T Revelation in an accessible way. These explanations are augmented and developed via a
Status:UNSPECIFIED carefully selected sample of the ways in which the concepts have been treated by
artists through the centuries. The 120 visual examples are drawn from a wide range of
time periods and media including the ninthcentury Trier Apocalypse, thirteenthcentury
AngloNorman Apocalypse Manuscripts such as the Lambeth and Trinity Apocalypses,
the fourteenthcentury Angers Apocalypse Tapestry, fifteenthcentury Apocalypse
altarpieces by Van Eyck and Memling, Dürer and Cranach's sixteenthcentury
Apocalypse woodcuts, and more recently a range of works by William Blake, J.M.W.
Turner, Max Beckmann, as well as film posters and film stills, cartoons, and children's
book illustrations. The final chapter demonstrates the continuing resonance of all the
themes in contemporary religious, political, and popular thinking, while throughout the
book a contrast will be drawn between those readers of Revelation who have seen it in
terms of earthly revolutions in the here and now, and those who have adopted a more
spiritual, otherworldly approach.

There have long been allegations that many servicemen had been duped into taking part
in trials with toxic agents at topsecret Allied research facilities. In Britain, a whole army
of over 21,000 soldiers had participated in secret experiments between 1939 and 1989.

Understanding Italian Opera
Tim Carter
Key Selling Points
• A thorough yet accessible introduction to the genre
• Offers explorations of five of the most enduring and oftenperformed Italian operas
• Includes synopses, cast lists, and suggested further reading for each opera discussed
Summary
Opera is often regarded as the pinnacle of high art. A "Western" genre with global
reach, it is where music and drama come together in unique ways, supported by stellar
singers and spectacular scenic effects. Yet it is also patently absurd why should
anyone break into song on the dramatic stage? and shrouded in mystique. In this
engaging and entertaining guide, renowned music scholar Tim Carter unravels its many
layers to offer a thorough introduction to Italian opera from the seventeenth to the
early twentieth centuries.

Eschewing the technical musical detail that all too often dominates writing on opera,
Carter begins instead where the composers themselves did: with the text. Walking
readers through the relationship between music and poetry that lies at the heart of any
opera, Carter then offers explorations of five of the most enduring and emblematic
Italian operas: Monteverdi's The Coronation of Poppea; Handel's Julius Caesar in Egypt;
9780190247942
0190247940 Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro; Verdi's Rigoletto; and Puccini's La Bohème. Shedding

Key Selling Points
• Part of The Great Battles Series, the story of the world's most important battles how

• The multinational story of the Gallipoli campaign as inspirational victory, glorious

• How the campaign has been remembered, from the immediate aftermath to the

Summary
The Britishled Mediterranean Expeditionary Force that attacked the Ottoman Empire at
Gallipoli in 1915 was a multinational affair, including Australian, New Zealand, Irish,
French, and Indian soldiers. Ultimately a failure, the campaign ended with the
withdrawal of the Allied forces after less than nine months and the unexpected victory

Status:UNSPECIFIED campaign was forgotten for decades.

Shaped initially by the imperatives of wartime, and the needs of the griefstricken and
the bereft, the memory of Gallipoli has been remade time and again over the last
century. For the Turks an inspirational victory, for many on the Allied side a glorious and
romantic defeat, for others still an episode best forgotten, 'Gallipoli' has meant different
things to different people, serving by turns as an occasion of sincere and heartfelt
sorrow, an opportunity for separatist and feminist protest, and a formative influence in
the forging of national identities.

scenes of international diplomacy in the company of a cast of largerthanlife
characters brought vividly to life."

On the Wing
Insects, Pterosaurus, Birds, Bats and the Evolution of Animal Flight
David E. Alexander
Key Selling Points
• Explains the process and pattern of evolution in the context of flight
• The first generalaudience book that discusses the significance of feathered dinosaurs
• Highlights the commonalities among the four groups of powered flyers: insects,
pterosaurs, birds, and bats
Summary
Ask anybody what superpower they wished to possess and odds are the answer just
might be "the ability to fly." What is it about soaring through the air held up by the
power of one's own body that has captivated humans for so long? David Alexander
examines the evolution of flight in the only four animals to have evolved this ability:
insects, pterosaurs, birds, and bats. With an accessible writing style grounded in
rigorous research, Alexander breaks new ground in a field that has previously been
confined to specialists. While birds have received the majority of attention from flight
researchers, Alexander pays equal attention to all four groups of flyerssomething that
no other book on the subject has done before now. In a streamlined and captivating
way, David Alexander demonstrates the links between the tiny 2mm thrip and the

enormous albatross with the 12 feet wingspan used to cross oceans.

Ecology or Catastrophe
The Life of Murray Bookchin
Janet Biehl
Key Selling Points
• The first ever biography of Murray Bookchin, the founder of social ecology
• Written by Bookchin's close collaborator and copyeditor, Janet Biehl
• Combines a gripping personal tale with a discussion of today's most relevant
environmental and social issues
The compelling biography of revolutionary social ecologist Murray Bookchin
Summary
Murray Bookchin was not only one of the most significant and influential environmental
philosophers of the twentieth centuryhe was also one of the most prescient. From
industrial agriculture to nuclear radiation, Bookchin has been at the forefront of every
major ecological issue since the very beginning, often proposing a solution before most
people even recognized there was a problem.

Ecology or Catastrophe: The Life of Murray Bookchin is the first biography of this
groundbreaking environmental and political thinker. Author Janet Biehl worked as his
collaborator and copyeditor for 19 years, editing his every word. Thanks to her
extensive personal history with Bookchin as well as her access to his papers and
9780199342488
0199342482 archival research, Ecology or Catastrophe offers unique insight into his personal and
Pub Date: 10/1/2015 professional life. Founder of the social ecology movement, Bookchin first started raising
$34.95/£22.99 UK environmental issues in 1952. He foresaw global warming in the 1960s and even then
Discount Code: 1A argued that we should look into renewable energy sources as an alternative to fossil

fuels. Wary of pesticides and other chemicals used in industrial agriculture, he was also
344 Pages an early advocate of smallscale organic farming, which has developed into the present
18 halftones locavore movement and the revival of organic markets. Even Occupy can trace the
SCI020000
origins of its leaderless structure and general assemblies to the nonhierarchical
organizational form Bookchin developed as a libertarian socialist.
6.1 in | 9.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED
Bookchin believed that social and ecological issues were deeply intertwined. Convinced
that capitalism pushes businesses to maximize profits and ignore humanist concerns, he
argued that ecocrises could be resolved by a new social arrangement. His solution was
Communalism, a new form of libertarian socialism that he developed. An optimist and
utopian, Bookchin believed in the potentiality for human beings to use reason to solve all
social and ecological problems.
Contributor Bio

Janet Biehl was Murray Bookchin's copyeditor for the last two decades of his
professional life, and collaborated with him on both books and articles. She works as a
freelance copyeditor for Viking Penguin, Alfred A. Knopf, Pantheon, Crown, Doubleday,
and many other publishing houses.
Quotes

"Biehl has an insider's view of Bookchin as both his collaborator and his lover, and she
uses that insight to paint a detailed and lively picture of this important figure."
Publishers Weekly
"Janet Biehl's meticulously researched biography splendidly captures Bookchin's
intellectual and personal journey from youthful communist to mature anarchist. Bookchin
influenced the thinking and actions of a generation but today his writings and insights
are largely unknown. Biehl's terrific book will do much to overcome this illiteracy and
introduce a new generation to one of the key intellectuals of our time." David Morris,
Director, Public Good Initiative, Institute for Local SelfReliance
"Murray Bookchin was irascible, human, brilliant, and above all relevant to our own time.
This valuable book brings his work to life and takes us through his intellectual, activist
and personal struggles between the late 1930s and the end of the 20th Century. An
ecologist before the term was understood by most Americans and a sophisticated
anarchist who recognized the importance of clear (but decentralized) organizational
structure, Bookchin's story also offers a reminder of what it takes to live a committed
life in our own time in history." Gar Alperovitz, Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political
Economy at the University of Maryland, CoFounder of The Democracy Collaborative

Failed
What the "Experts" Got Wrong about the Global Economy
Mark Weisbrot
Key Selling Points
• Analyzes worldwide crises, from the US to the Eurozone, and even the prolonged
stagnant periods experienced by middle and lowincome countries
• Proves the political agendas are often the root cause of financial crises and mayas in
the case of the Eurozoneprolong crises unnecessarily
• Examines why the IMF has lost influence in middleincome countries
• Looks at the causes and consequences of Latin America's "second independence" and
economic rebound in the 20th century, including important changes in economic policy
by various governments
Summary
Why has the Eurozone ended up with an unemployment rate more than twice that of
the United States more than six years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers? Why did
the vast majority of low and middleincome countries suffer a prolonged economic
slowdown in the last two decades of the 20th century? What was the role of the
International Monetary Fund in these economic failures? Why was Latin America able to
achieve substantial poverty reduction in the 21st century after more than two decades

Hardcover ignored. First, in the Eurozone, Mark Weisbrot argues that the European authorities'
political agenda, which included shrinking the welfare state, reducing health care,
312 Pages pension, and other social spending, and reducing the bargaining power of labor played a
12 line illus
Political Science / Public Policy
very important role in prolonging the Eurozone's financial crisis and pushing it into years
POL024000 of recession and mass unemployment. This conclusion is based not only on public
5.5 in | 8.3 in statements of European officials, but also on thousands of pages of documentation from
Status:UNSPECIFIED consultations between the IMF and European governments after 2008.

The second central theme of Failed is that there are always practical alternatives to
prolonged economic failure. Drawing on the history of other financial crises, recessions,
and recoveries, Weisbrot argues that regardless of initial conditions, there have been
and remain economically feasible choices for governments of the Eurozone to greatly
reduce unemploymentincluding the hardest hit, crisisridden country of Greece.

The longterm economic failure of developing countries, its social consequences, as well
as the subsequent recovery in the first decade of the 21st century, constitute the third
part of the book's narrative, one that has previously gotten too little attention. We see
why the International Monetary Fund has lost influence in middle income countries.
Failed also examines the economic causes and consequences of Latin America's "second
independence" and rebound in the twentyfirst century, as well as the challenges that
lie ahead.

Quotes

"For those who wish to understand the global economy of the past generation, the
shocking failures and impressive successes, this is the book to read. With careful
scholarship and lucid analysis, Weisbrot reveals the pernicious effects of the neoliberal
assault on the world's population, from wealthy and developed Europe to the global
south, and exposes the dominant politicaleconomic doctrines, rooted in a harsh attack
on democracy and undermining of social policies that benefit the vast majority. He also
shows how rejection of these doctrines has led to impressive achievements. All of this is
consistent with actual economic history, if not prevailing illusion. The critique is harsh
and incisive, but prospects are bright if the lessons of history and the logic of policy are
viewed with care, as in this timely, authoritative, and very valuable study."

Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor and Professor of Linguistics (Emeritus), MIT
"Mark Weisbrot demolishes the illusions of Europe and the IMF but also shows, by
way of contrast, how it was that Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador have brewed
success from rebellion against the neoliberal project."

James K. Galbraith, author of The End of Normal: The Great Crisis and the Future of
Growth and Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations at University of
TexasAustin
"Mark Weisbrot's new book Failed describes in compelling detail the destructive
diagnoses and economic prescriptions that the International Monetary Fund, the
European Union, and the U.S. Treasury department have tried to spread through the
developed and the developing world. He provides a fascinating tour that all students of
macroeconomics and economic development should read of the destruction wrought by
these 'economic experts' preaching financial liberalization, privatization, and austerity:
from Spain to Greece and Argentina to Indonesia. As Weisbrot shows, in recent years,
other economists, policy makers, and governments have shown alternative paths to
development that avoid these costly ideas. He concludes by arguing that: 'The ideas
that facilitated that regrettable failure remain influential, but these, too, will become
increasingly less relevant in time.'
If this prediction turns out to be true, it will be partly due to the excellent work that
Mark Weisbrot has contributed over many years well reflected in these pages to
show the dismal failures of these ideas and to help develop more just and inclusive
economic paths for countries to follow."

Gerald Epstein, Professor of Economics and CoDirector, Political Economy Research
Institute (PERI), University of MassachusettsAmherst
"The International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and neoliberal economics
may have failed, but Mark Weisbrot has not. His demolition job on the economic policies
that have led to misery for millions is comprehensive, long overdue and a resounding
success."

Larry Elliott, Economics Editor, The Guardian
"As the author describes it in the introduction, this is a book about failed economic
policies those of the Eurozone since 2008 and the failure of market reforms to
reignite growth in low and middleincome countries in the last two decades of the
twentieth century. But it is also a book about development successes and thus of
alternatives to those failures notably that of China's stateled insertion into
globalization, and Latin America with its several leftwing regimes over the past decade.
It is a very important contribution to global debates by one of market (neoliberal)
reforms' leading critics. It should be on the shelves of both defenders and critics of
market reforms."

José Antonio Ocampo, Professor at Columbia University and former UN Under
SecretaryGeneral for Economic and Social Affairs
"There are two types of economic history books: those that start with an ideological
position and select facts as they please, and another that actually discusses what
happened and why. Mark Weisbrot's newest book belongs to the second category. It
takes you on a journey to the places and crises that, according to the neoliberal
narrative, should have never happened the Asian financial meltdown, the Argentine
depression and recovery, the interminable European austerity and for good measure
adds a discussion of the most successful economy of the last 40 years, China, which
stands out among the rest with its pragmatic and unusual economic policy mix. There
are here lessons to be learned for the rich, emerging, and poor economies alike."

Branko Milanovic, Luxembourg Income Study Center and Graduate Center, City
University of New York and author of The Haves and the HaveNots: A Brief and
Idiosyncratic History of Global Inequality
"Weisbrot's book shatters conventional wisdoms about the meaning of the Eurozone
crisis. In clear, accessible language, it advances a desperatelyneeded alternative
interpretation of the contemporary global economy."

Sarah Babb, Professor of Sociology, Boston College

"Mark Weisbrot is among that very small group of economists whose theorizing about
the world actually matches the truth of the world. His new book, Failed, is an
indispensable analysis of prevailing misconceptions, of the type once described by the
great sociologist C. Wright Mills as 'crackpot realism,' a delusional 'style of mind' that
'justifies its false and feeble views as reality itself.' It is required reading for anyone
seeking to explain contemporary global politics."

Part of Our Lives
A People's History of the American Public Library
Wayne A. Wiegand
Key Selling Points
• Challenges conventional thinking and topdown definitions, instead drawing on the
library user's perspective to argue that the public library's most important function is
providing commonplace reading materials and public space
• Challenges a professional ethos about public libraries and their responsibilities to fight
censorship and defend intellectual freedom
• Demonstrates that the American public library has been (with some notable
exceptions) a place that welcomed newcomers, accepted diversity, and constructed
community since the end of the 19th century
• Shows how stories that cultural authorities have traditionally disparaged i.e. books
that are not "serious" have often been transformative for public library users
Summary
Despite dire predictions in the late twentieth century that public libraries would not
survive the turn of the millennium, their numbers have only increased. Two of three
Americans frequent a public library at least once a year, and nearly that many are
registered borrowers. Although library authorities have argued that the public library
functions primarily as a civic institution necessary for maintaining democracy,

Status:UNSPECIFIED
Whether as a public space, a place for accessing information, or a home for reading
material that helps patrons make sense of the world around them, the public library has
a rich history of meaning for millions of Americans. From colonial times through the
recent technological revolution, libraries have continuously adapted to better serve the
needs of their communities. Wiegand goes on to demonstrate that, although cultural
authorities (including some librarians) have often disparaged reading books considered
not "serious" the commonplace reading materials users obtained from public libraries
have had a transformative effect for many, including people like Ronald Reagan, Sonia
Sotomayor, and Oprah Winfrey.

A bold challenge to conventional thinking about the American public library, Part of Our
Lives is an insightful look into one of America's most beloved cultural institutions

Inventing American Religion
Polls, Surveys, and the Tenuous Quest for a Nation's Faith
Robert Wuthnow
Key Selling Points
• Challenges the results of famous polling firms
• Profiles the two key originators of polls about religion
• Author writes as both an insider and a critic
Summary
Today, a billiondollarayear polling industry floods the media with information. Pollsters
tell us not only which political candidates will win, but how we are practicing our faith.
How many Americans went to church last week? Have they been born again? Is Jesus
as popular as Harry Potter? Polls tell us that 40 percent of Americans attend religious
services each week. They show that African Americans are no more religious than white
Americans, and that Jews are abandoning their religion in record numbers. According to
leading sociologist Robert Wuthnow, none of that is correct. Pollsters say that
attendance at religious services has been constant for decades. But during that time
response rates in polls have plummeted, robotic "push poll" calls have proliferated, and
sampling has become more difficult. The accuracy of political polling can be known
because elections actually happen. But there are no election results to show if the

Robert Wuthnow is the Gerhard R. Andlinger '52 Professor of Sociology and Director of
the Center for the Study of Religion at Princeton University. He is the author of
numerous books on American culture and religion.
Quotes

"Based on survey research, Robert Wuthnow has written some of the most widely read
books about American religion. Here he turns a critical eye on surveys and polls. As only
Wuthnow can, he shows that numbers cannot speak for themselves, that Americans
have gone too far in letting surveys and polls define our faith experiences for us.
Anyone who cares about how we count the past or future of American religion should
read this book." Elaine Howard Ecklund, Herbert S. Autrey Chair Professor of
Sociology, Rice University

"Wuthnow's Inventing American Religion offers a remarkable portrait not just of the
history of religious polls and surveys in the United States, but also how these methods
of research have shaped if not sometimes distorted the development of religious
categories. The book is packed full of insights about the role of polls and surveys in
studying religion, at times attempting to capture new trends, and other times labeling
those trends and offering new maps for portraying this everchanging territory. A must
read for scholars and journalists alike interested in American religion." Wade Clark
Roof, J.F. Rowny Professor of Religion and Society Emeritus and Research Professor

"Inventing American Religion is an important contribution to our expanding map of
twentiethcentury American culture and religious life, framing a way to understand how
public understandings of 'American religion' were shaped and continue to be influenced
by the rise of surveys and public polling. Wuthnow brings both a sociological insider's
firsthand knowledge of the promises and problems of polling and survey techniques,
and an historian's interest in the complexity of American religious life to this lively study.
The result is a rich, rewarding, and thoughtprovoking book about the complex role that
polling and surveys continue to play in shaping Americans' public understandings of what
it means to be religious." Courtney Bender, Professor of Religion, Columbia University

The James Bond Songs
Pop Anthems of Late Capitalism

Key Selling Points
• Shows how a listener can think with and about pop music
• Illustrates how our conception of what a pop song is has changed over time

Summary
Starting with 1964's Goldfinger, every James Bond film has followed the same ritual, and
so has its audience: after an exciting action sequence the screen goes black and the
viewer spends three long minutes absorbing abstract opening credits and a song that
sounds like it wants to return to 1964. In The James Bond Songs authors Adrian Daub
and Charles Kronengold use the genre to trace not only a changing cultural landscape,
but also evolving conceptions of what a pop song is. They argue that the story of the
Bond song is the story of the pop song more generally, and perhaps even the story of
its end.

Quotes

"Critique of ideology at its best: taking our pleasures at their most stupid and marginal,
and discerning in them echoes of global social and ideological antagonisms. A must for
all those who believe that we really live in postideological times!" Slavoj Zizek
"In prose that purrs like a Bond girl, Daub and Kronengold tell a remarkable story not just
of these curious songs but of popular music since the early 1960s. A terrific history!"
Alice Echols, Professor of History and Gender Studies, The University of Southern
California

"This refreshingly unique study chronicles Bond songs as part of pop music and apart
from it, within the Bond movies and apart from them, imagining hip futures while
desperately holding onto anachronistic visions of empire." Dana Polan, Cinema Studies,
New York University
"A book as sophisticated as a shaken martini, as clever as Q's gadgets, as zippy as an
Aston Martin, as razor sharp as Goldfinger's laser, as gorgeous as Shirley Bassey's voice,
and as enthralling as any Bond movie I've ever seen." Alexander Rehding, Harvard

The Trouble with Empire
Challenges to Modern British Imperialism
Antoinette Burton
Key Selling Points
• Makes a controversial argument challenging the rise and fall narrative of British history
• Decenters large and wellknown events like the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and moves
smallerscale insurrections to the foreground
• Offers the first thoroughgoing account of what British imperialism looked like from
below and of how tenuous its hold on alien populations was
Summary
While imperial blockbusters fly off the shelves, there is no comprehensive history
dedicated to resistance in the 19th and 20th century British Empire. The Trouble with
Empire is the first volume to fill this gap, offering a brief but thorough introduction to
the nature and consequences of resistance to British imperialism.

Historian Antoinette Burton's study spans the 19th and 20th centuries, when
discontented subjects of empire made their unhappiness felt from Ireland to Canada to
India to Africa to Australasia, in direct response to incursions of military might and
imperial capitalism. The Trouble with Empire offers the first thoroughgoing account of
what British imperialism looked like from below and of how tenuous its hold on alien

A groundbreaking, scientific approach to creative thinking

From entrepreneurs to teachers, engineers to artists, almost everyone stands to benefit
from becoming more creative. New ways of thinking, making, and imagining have the
potential to bring about revolutionary changes to both our personal lives and society as

few people aware of the ways we can optimize our own creative and innovative ideas.

In the Beginning Was the Word
The Bible in American Public Life, 14921783

• The first part of a multivolume set that will trace the history of the Bible in America
up to the present day
• The culmination of years' worth of scholarship by a world class historian of religion in
America
• Links history to Biblerelated discourse in contemporary America
Summary
In the beginning of American history, the Word was in Spanish, Latin, and native
languages like Nahuatal. But while Spanish and Catholic Christianity reached the New
World in 1492, it was only with settlements in the seventeenth century that English
language Bibles and Protestant Christendom arrived. The Puritans brought with them
intense devotion to Scripture, as well as their ideal of Christendom a civilization
characterized by a thorough intermingling of the Bible with everything else. That ideal
began this country's journey from the Puritan's City on a Hill to the Biblequoting
country the U.S. is today. In the Beginning Was the Word shows how important the
Bible remained, even as that Puritan ideal changed considerably through the early

stages of American history.

Status:UNSPECIFIED One of the foremost scholars of American Christianity, Mark Noll brings a wealth of
research and wisdom to In the Beginning Was the Word, providing a sweeping, engaging,
and insightful survey of the relationship between the Bible and public issues from the
beginning of European settlement. A seminal new work from a worldclass scholar, this
book offers a fresh account of the contested, sometimes ambiguous, but definite biblical
roots of American history.

Mark A. Noll is the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre
Dame and author of numerous books, including America's God: From Jonathan Edwards
to Abraham Lincoln (OUP 2002) and Protestantism: A Very Short Introduction (OUP

Quotes

"A superb study of Early America's most widely read book by one of the nation's leading
historians of religion. No one has ever before described and analyzed the role of the
Bible in colonial America as thoroughly as Mark Noll has in this important book. In the
Beginning Was the Word is a landmark work of history." Gordon S. Wood, Professor of
History Emeritus, Brown University

"In the Beginning Was the Word documents the Bible's ubiquity in the nation's formative
years. With massive research and lapidary prose, Noll shows how Scripture provided
solace for individuals, authority for Protestants, and warrants for Christendom. Lest
there be any doubt, the volume secures the author's rank as the dean of active
American religious historians." Grant Wacker, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Christian
History, Duke Divinity School

"Mark Noll has written a learned and wise treatment of the power of the Bible in early
American history, sensitive to the ways Scripture was invoked on different sides of
many disputes. Noll appropriately roots his account in the Old World background and
restores the importance of Puritanism to the course of American History." Daniel
Walker Howe, PulitzerPrizewinning author of What Hath God Wrought: The
Transformation of America, 18151848

The Betrayal
The 1919 World Series and the Birth of Modern Baseball
Charles Fountain
Key Selling Points
• An engaging narrative of baseball's eternal mystery, written for the general reader
• The standard book on the subject is now 40 years old, and a retelling is needed
• Based on new research into archives, newspapers, and transcripts
• The author, a former journalist and sportscaster, is a recognized authority on baseball
history
Summary
In the most famous scandal of sports history, eight Chicago White Sox players
including Shoeless Joe Jacksonagreed to throw the 1919 World Series to the
Cincinnati Reds in exchange for the promise of $20,000 each from gamblers reportedly
working for New York mobster Arnold Rothstein. Heavily favored, Chicago lost the Series
five games to three. Although rumors of a fix flew while the series was being played,
they were largely disregarded by players and the public at large. It wasn't until a year
later that a general investigation into baseball gambling reopened the case, and a
nationwide scandal emerged.

In this book, Charles Fountain offers a full and engaging history of one of baseball's true
9780199795130
0199795134 moments of crisis and handwringing, and shows how the scandal changed the way

and as Fountain shows, we still aren't sure today. But we are continually pulled to the
story, because so much of modern sport, and our attitude towards it, springs from the
6.1 in | 9.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED scandal.

Fountain traces the Black Sox story from its roots in the gambling culture that pervaded
the game in the years surrounding World War I, through the confusing events of the
1919 World Series itself, to the noisy aftermath and trial, and illuminates the moment as
baseball's tipping point. Despite the clumsy unfolding of the scandal and trial and the
callous treatment of the players involved, the Black Sox saga was a cleansing moment
for the sport. It launched the age of the baseball commissioner, as baseball owners
hired Landis and surrendered to him the control of their game. Fountain shows how
sweeping changes in 1920s triggered by the scandal moved baseball away from its
association with gamblers and fixers, and details how American's attitude toward the
pastime shifted as they entered into "The Golden Age of Sport."

Situating the Black Sox events in the context of later scandals, including those involving
Reds manager and player Pete Rose, and the ongoing use of steroids in the game up
through the present, Fountain illuminates America's near centurylong fascination with
the story, and its continuing relevance today.

Constitutional Personae
Heroes, Soldiers, Minimalists, and Mutes
Cass R. Sunstein
Key Selling Points
• Provides a detailed history of critical historical court cases, not only in terms of
outcome but by the behaviors and attitudes of the justices
• Boils all judicial debates down to their essencewhether justices seem themselves as
what Sunstein calls Heroes, Soldiers, Minimalists, or Mutes
• Casts a new light on longstanding debates about constitutional interpretation and
liberty under law
• Written by one of the country's leading figures in law and public policy
Summary
Since America's founding, the U.S. Supreme Court had issued a vast number of decisions
on a staggeringly wide variety of subjects. And hundreds of judges have occupied the
bench. Yet as Cass R. Sunstein, the eminent legal scholar and bestselling coauthor of
Nudge, points out, almost every one of the Justices fits into a very small number of
types regardless of ideology: the hero, the soldier, the minimalist, and the mute.

Oxford University Press Heroes are willing to invoke the Constitution to invalidate state laws, federal legislation,
9780190222673 and prior Court decisions. They loudly embrace first principles and are prone to flair,
0190222670 employing dramatic language to fundamentally reshape the law. Soldiers, on the other
Pub Date: 10/5/2015
$24.95/$27.50 Can. hand, are skeptical of judicial power, and typically defer to decisions made by the
Discount Code: 02 political branches. Minimalists favor small steps and only incremental change. They
Hardcover worry that bold reversals of longestablished traditions may be counterproductive,
192 Pages
producing a backlash that only leads to another reversal. Mutes would rather say
Law / Constitutional nothing at all about the big constitutional issues, and instead tend to decide cases on
LAW018000 narrow grounds or keep controversial cases out of the Court altogether by denying
Series: Inalienable Rights standing.
5.5 in | 8.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED As Sunstein shows, many of the most important constitutional debates are in fact
contests between the four Personae. Whether the issue involves slavery, gender
equality, samesex marriage, executive power, surveillance, or freedom of speech,
debates have turned on choices made among the four Personaechoices that derive as
much from psychology as constitutional theory. Sunstein himself defends a form of
minimalism, arguing that it is the best approach in a selfgoverning society of free
people. More broadly, he casts a genuinely novel light on longstanding disputes over the
proper way to interpret the constitution, demonstrating that behind virtually every
decision and beneath all of the abstract theory lurk the four Personae. By emphasizing
the centrality of character types, Sunstein forces us to rethink everything we know
about how the Supreme Court works.

Quotes

"Cass Sunstein provides an enlightening look at the different ways to approach the
Constitution. In doing so, he transcends ideology and helps us appreciate different
perspectives. He also shows the virtue of his own favorite approach, that of minimalism,
which seeks to respect traditions and longsettled practices." Walter Isaacson,
President and CEO of the Aspen Institute, and author of The Innovators
"In this remarkable addition to Oxford University Press' 'Inalienable Rights' series on the
American Constitution, Cass Sunstein persuasively speaks not to theories of
constitutional interpretation, but to four archetypical judicial personalities reflected in
opinionwriting, and in doing so he opens up an imaginative new perspective for
appreciating our constitutional history." Peter L. Strauss, Betts Professor of Law,
Columbia Law School
"In Constitutional Personae, Cass Sunstein analyzes judicial review in the United States
in terms of four personalities or archetypes. He shows how this model illuminates a wide
range of questions, and he offers a subtle restatement and defense of his favorite
persona, the constitutional minimalist. Filled to the brim with insights, this is a splendid
and imaginative contribution to constitutional theory." Jack Balkin, Knight Professor of
Constitutional Law, Yale Law School

Summary
A rigorous treatment of a thought experiment that has become notorious within and
outside of philosophy The Trolley Problem by one of the most influential moral
philosophers alive today

Suppose you can stop a trolley from killing five people, but only by turning it onto a side
track where it will kill one. May you turn the trolley? What if the only way to rescue the
five is to topple a bystander in front of the trolley so that his body stops it but he dies?
May you use a device to stop the trolley that will kill a bystander as a side effect? The
Oxford University Press "Trolley Problem" challenges us to explain and justify our different intuitive judgments

Agincourt (1415) is an exceptionally famous battle, one that has generated a huge and
enduring cultural legacy in the six hundred years since it was fought. Everybody thinks
they know what the battle was about. Even John Lennon, aged 12, wrote a poem and
drew a picture headed 'Agincourt'.

But why and how has Agincourt come to mean so much to so many? Why do so many
people claim their ancestors served at the battle? Is the Agincourt of popular image the

the play and the film versions of it, especially the patriotic Laurence Olivier version of
1944, at the time of the DDay landings in Normandy.

But the legacy of Agincourt does not begin and end with Shakespeare's play: from the
eighteenth century onwards, on both sides of the Channel and in both the English and
French speaking worlds the battle was used as an explanation of national identity,
giving rise to jingoistic works in print and music. It was at this time that it became
fashionable for the gentry to identify themselves with the victory, and in the Victorian
period the Agincourt archer came to be emphasized as the epitome of 'English freedom'.
Indeed, even today, historians continue to "refight" the battle an academic contest
that has intensified over recent years, in the runup to this sixth hundredth anniversary
year.

violence, and discrimination.
Status:UNSPECIFIED

In Beyond Bullying: Breaking the Cycle of Shame, Bullying, and Violence, veteran
professor of social work Jonathan Fast deftly weaves together research from the fields
of psychology, sociology, economics, and history to create a single overarching theory
of shame. The book introduces the concept of "weaponized shame," a toxic and
intentional attack on another person, noting that weaponized shame is often at the
heart of bullying situations. With clear, straightforward language, Dr. Fast traces the
nuances of shame through several common types of bullying, highlighting bullying based
on sexuality, gender, and race. Noting the pervasive presence of weaponized shame in
American culture, Beyond Bullying extends shame theory to acts of domestic violence,
racism, school shootings, and domestic terrorism. The issues that cause bullying are not
limited to the schoolyard, but rather are responsible for horrific acts of violence across
the nation.

Beyond mere theory, the book provides concrete suggestions for healthy ways of
dealing with shame, including techniques for diffusing potentially harmful situations. An
invaluable resource for parents of bullied children, Beyond Bullying will also appeal to
teachers, counselors, and social workers.

The Woman Behind the Making of On War
Vanya Eftimova Bellinger
Key Selling Points
• The first biography of Marie von Clausewitz
• The first book studying newly discovered correspondence and finally answer questions
about Marie von Clausewitz's influence over her husband's work
• Discusses extensively the social and cultural climate of Clausewitz's time
Summary
For generations, among those who revere the work of Carl von Clausewitz, the role of
his beloved wife, née Marie von Brühl, in shaping his seminal work on military theory has
been a subject of intense speculation. It seems certain that without her On War would
never have been published. But as historian and Clausewitz scholar Vanya Eftimova
Bellinger establishes in this groundbreaking biography of the "other" Clausewitz, Marie
was far more than merely a supportive wife who facilitated her husband's legacy.

Marie's 1810 marriage to von Clausewitz did not make sense by most accounts (least of
all to her mother). She was a wealthy, cultured, and politically engaged young woman;
he was a minor Prussian officer. But the bond between Marie and Claus was forged by
Oxford University Press love, a deep sense of trust, and a meeting of the minds over common interests. A newly

fortunes: John Paul Jones' attacks on the British in the Revolution, the Barbary Wars,

evolving culture of the Navy and debates between policymakers about what role the

with rapid expansion emerging out of crises. The history of the navy reflects the history

The Tears of Re
Beekeeping in Ancient Egypt
Gene Kritsky
Key Selling Points
• Richly illustrated, containing over a hundred images.
• The first fulllength discussion of the role of bees in ancient Egypt.
• Shows how honey and wax were important to the ancient Egyptian economy, religion,
food production, and medicine.
Summary
According to Egyptian mythology, when the ancient Egyptian sun god Re cried, his tears
turned into honey bees upon touching the ground. For this reason, the honey bee was
sacrosanct in ancient Egyptian culture. From the art depicting bees on temple walls to
the usage of beeswax as a healing ointment, the honey bee was a pervasive cultural
motif in ancient Egypt because of its connection to the sun god Re. Gene Kritsky
delivers the first book to examine the relationship between the honey bee and ancient
Egyptian culture, through the lenses of linguistics, archeology, religion, health, and
economics. Kritsky delves into ancient Egypt's multifaceted society, and traces the

Moonstruck
How Lunar Cycles Affect Life
Ernest Naylor
Key Selling Points
• Gives the first popular account of the growing scientific evidence for biological clocks
in animals related to lunar cycles
• Touches on popular Moonrelated myths and describes modern scientific efforts to
explore moonrelated phenomena
• Introduces readers to a fascinating array of animal behaviour that is directly or
indirectly influenced by lunar cycles
Summary
Throughout history, the influence of the full Moon on humans and animals has featured
in folklore and myths. Yet it has become increasingly apparent that many organisms
really are influenced indirectly, and in some cases directly, by the lunar cycle. Breeding
behaviour among some marine animals has been demonstrated to be controlled by
internal circalunar biological clocks, to the point where lunardaily and lunarmonthly
patterns of Moongenerated tides are embedded in their genes. Yet, intriguingly, Moon
related behaviours are also found in dry land and fresh water species living far beyond
the influence of any tides.

9780198724216 In Moonstruck, Ernest Naylor dismisses the myths concerning the influence of the Moon,
0198724217 but shows through a range of fascinating examples the remarkable real effects that we

Chasing Ghosts
The Policing of Terrorism
John Mueller, Mark Stewart
Key Selling Points
• Offers the controversial thesis that US intelligence agencies have inflated the terrorist
threat to its current dominant position in the national discourse
Summary
Following 9/11, Americans' fears of terroristsespecially domestically based Islamic
extremistsreached nearhysteria levels. The government and media reports stoked
fears that malign actors living in the US had not only the desire but the means to wreak
extreme havoc and destruction. Early reports estimated slightly more than 300 al Qaeda
operatives living in the United States, and it wasn't long before this number became
2,000 or 5,000 domestic terrorists. As these estimates snowballed, so did spending on
federal counterterrorism organizations and measures, and it now totals over one trillion
dollars. The federal government launched more covert operations in the name of fighting
terrorist adversaries than they did in the entirety of the fortyfive year Cold War. For
each apprehension of a credible terrorist suspect, the US government created or re
organized two counterterrorism organizations. The scale of these efforts has been
enormous, yet somehow Americans remain fearful of what they perceive to be a massive
9780190237318
terrorist threat. But how wellfounded is this fear? Is the threat of terrorism in the

public has been lead to believe that the terrorism threat is significant.

As they show, it is not a significant threatcertainly not large enough to justify the vast
security state apparatus that has emerged to combat it. The chance that an American
will be killed by a terrorist domestically in any given year is about one in four million
(under present conditions). Yet despite this statistically low risk and the extraordinary
amount of resources put towards combatting threats, Americans still worry and the
government still spends billions. Until the true threat of domestic terrorism is
understood, the country cannot begin to confront whether our pursuit of ghosts is
worth the cost.

Does Torture Work?
John W. Schiemann
Key Selling Points
• The first systematic and rigorous examination of the effectiveness of interrogational
torture
• Adopts game theory to answer questions about the value of interrogational torture
• Features meticulous research, including an extensive collection of declassified CIA
information
• Written in language that is accessible to nontechnical and technical audiences alike
Summary
When the Senate released its socalled "Torture Report" in December 2014 the world
would learn that, for years, the CIA had used unimaginably brutal methods to
interrogate its prisoners often without yielding any useful or truthful information. The
agency had long and adamantly defended its use of torture, staunchly arguing that it
was not only just but necessary for the country's safety. And even amid the revelations
of the report, questions abound about whether torture can be considered a justifiable
tool of national security.

Is interrogational torture an effective method of extracting information? How good does
Oxford University Press the information extracted need to be for the torture to be considered successful? How

comparing the outcomes to the claims made by torture proponents. The book draws on
a wide variety of sources ranging from records of the Inquisition to secret CIA memos to
trace this logic, illustrating each outcome of the model with a narrative from the real
world of interrogational torture. Does Torture Work? is an absorbing and provocative
take on one of most discussed human rights and security dilemmas of our time.

Summary
By 1970, more than 60 "Pan African nationalist" schools, from preschools to post
secondary ventures, had appeared in urban settings across the United States. The
small, independent enterprises were often accused of teaching hate and were routinely
harassed by authorities. Yet these institutions served as critical mechanisms for
transmitting black consciousness. Founded by activistintellectuals, the schools strove
not simply to bolster the academic skills and selfesteem of innercity AfricanAmerican

youth but also to decolonize minds and embody the principles of selfdetermination and

The Real Traviata
The Song of Marie Duplessis

Key Selling Points
• The story of the woman who inspired Verdi's La traviata some of the most heart
wrenching and lyrical music ever composed
• A woman who used her charm, wit, and stunning beauty to shoot to the pinnacle of
stardom, inspiring scandal and great art in almost equal measure
• An amazing ragstoriches journey from rural poverty to the apex of Parisian fashion,
ending ultimately in a tragic early death
• Set against the backdrop of the famous cafes and salons of Baudelaire's 'vieux Paris'
and the febrile atmosphere of the great spa towns of nineteenth century Europe
Summary
The Real Traviata is the ragstoriches story of a tragic young woman whose life
inspired one of the most famous operas of all time, Verdi's masterpiece La traviata, as
well as one of the most scandalous and successful French novels of the nineteenth
century, La Dame aux Camelias, by Alexandre Dumas fils.

The woman at the centre of the story, Marie Duplessis, escaped from her life as an

Gautier, one of the most important Parisian writers of the day, penned an obituary fit for
a princess. Indeed, he boldly claimed that she had been a princess, notwithstanding her
peasant origin and her distinctly demimonde existence.

And although now largely forgotten, in the years immediately after her death, Marie's
legend if anything grew in stature, with her immortalization in Verdi's La traviata, an
opera in which the great Romantic composer tried to capture her essence in some of
the most heartwrenching and lyrical music ever composed.

Quotes

"This is a very timely book. At a time where many observers are questioning the
possibility of a true democratic process within Muslim majority countries, this series of
essays shows, from Turkey to Iran, Senegal to Indonesia, that the political experiences
are multiple and the way toward democratization is complex, yet open. The authors
invite the reader to avoid simplistic conclusions about Islam and democracy. A critical
achievement." Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at the
University of Oxford

"Democracy can take many forms, and the struggle of Muslim majority countries to find
a democracy suited to their distinct cultural and political experiences is, as outlined in
Islam and Democracy after the Arab Spring, an epochmaking experiment. Countering
the 'clash of civilizations' and 'end of history' prophecies, Esposito, Sonn, and Voll show
how pre and postArab spring political developments in Muslim majority countries are
marathon battles to end authoritarian practices in politics, religion, culture and
statecraft. A mustread for those wishing to gain a nuanced understanding of the
volatile and complex developments tied to Muslim efforts to make democracy a reality."
Ebrahim Moosa, Professor of Islamic Studies, Keough School of Global Affairs,
University of Notre Dame

"For those who see in the apparent failure of the 'Arab spring' proof of the
incompatibility of Islam and democratization, Esposito, Sonn, and Voll's new book offers
a nuanced and brilliant rejoinder. No work that I know succeeds better at explaining the
logic of the political struggles underway in the modern Muslim world. None more fully
deserves to be read by scholars and the general reader alike." Robert W. Hefner,
author of Civil Islam: Muslims and Democratization in Indonesia

Surfing Uncertainty
Prediction, Action, and the Embodied Mind
Andy Clark
Key Selling Points
• A comprehensive tour of emerging work on the predictive mind
• Presented rigorously, but without mathematical formalisms
• Pitched to cross disciplinary boundaries, exploring ideas at the intersection of
neuroscience, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and psychology
• The second ever booklength treatment of the predictive mind, and the first to bring
work on the predictive mind together with work on embodied cognition
Summary
How is it that thoroughly physical material beings such as ourselves can think, dream,
feel, create and understand ideas, theories and concepts? How does mere matter give
rise to all these nonmaterial mental states, including consciousness itself? An answer
to this central question of our existence is emerging at the busy intersection of
neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

In this groundbreaking work, philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark explores
exciting new theories from these fields that reveal minds like ours to be prediction

God Is Watching You
How the Fear of God Makes Us Human
Dominic Johnson
Key Selling Points
• Proposes a new theory of the origins and evolution of not only religion, but also human
cooperation and society
• Explores how fear of supernatural punishment exists within and outside of religious
contexts
• Uses an interdisciplinary approach that draws on new research from anthropology,
evolutionary biology, experimental psychology, and neuroscience
Summary
"And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth
shall die." The biblical story of the flood crystalizesin its terrifying, dramatic simplicity
the universally recognized concept of divine punishment. For millennia human
civilizations have relied on such beliefs to create moral order. People who commit crimes
or other bad deeds, we are told, will suffer retribution, while rewardsabstract or
materialawait those who do good. This simple but powerful idea has long served to
deter selfinterest and achieve remarkable levels of cooperation. Indeed, as all societies

6.1 in | 9.3 in how it has shaped the course of human evolution. Dominic Johnson explores such
Status:UNSPECIFIED questions as: Was a belief in supernatural consequences instrumental in the origins of
human societies? How has it affected the way human society has changed, how we live
today, and how we will live in the future? Does it expand or limit the potential for local,
regional and global cooperation? How will the current decline in religious belief (at least
in many western countries) affect our ability to live together? And what, if anything, will
temper selfinterest and promote cooperation if religion declines? In short, do we still
need God?

Drawing on new research from anthropology, evolutionary biology, experimental
psychology, and neuroscience, Johnson presents a new theory of supernatural
punishment that offers fresh insight into the origins and evolution of not only religion,
but also human cooperation and society. He shows that belief in supernatural reward
and punishment is no quirk of western or Christian culture, but a ubiquitous part of
human nature that spans geographical regions, cultures, and human history.
Contributor Bio

Dominic Johnson received a D.Phil. from Oxford University in evolutionary biology, and
a Ph.D. from Geneva University in political science. Drawing on both disciplines, he is
interested in how new research on evolution and human nature is challenging traditional
understandings of international relations, conflict, cooperation and religion. He is the
author of numerous scientific journal articles, as well as Overconfidence and War: The
Havoc and Glory of Positive Illusions (2004) and, with Dominic Tierney, Failing to Win:
Perceptions of Victory and Defeat in International Politics (2006). For more information

Quotes

"Think God is good? Think again. In his stunning new book,God Is Watching You, Johnson
pulls back the curtain on tens of thousands of years of human evolution to reveal how
religion's enduring success lies almost entirely in our belief in divine wrath and an
unforgiving universe. And before you say, 'speak for yourself,' read this book. As it turns
out, even atheists aren't immune."Jesse Bering, author of The Belief Instinct

The Moral Complexities of Eating Meat
Ben Bramble, Bob Fischer
Key Selling Points
• Inspired by The New York Times's essay contest on the ethics of eating meat and
edited by two of the contest's top six contestants
• Features twelve new essays by leading moral philosophers
• One of very few volumes devoted exclusively to the ethics of eating meat
• Includes essays that attempt to defend meat consumption
Summary
A new collection offering provocative and often counterintuitive conclusions on the
ethics of meat eating.
In a world of industralized farming and feed lots, is eating meat ever a morally
responsible choice? Is eating organic or free range sufficient to change the moral
equation? Is there a moral cost in not eating meat? As billions of animals continue to be
raised and killed by human beings for human consumption, the significance and urgency
in answering these questions grow.
This volume collects twelve new essays by leading moral philosophers who attempt to
solve the ethical dilemma of meat eating by examining various implications and
consequences of our food choices. Some argue for the moral permissibility of eating
9780199353903
meat by suggesting views such as farm animals would not exist and flourish otherwise,

Quotes

"Spanning the Second Wave to the present wave of the women's movement, these
essays constitute a significant body of work on the religious implications of feminism.
Their usual omission from feminist and Mormon history makes collection of them here all
the more welcome and necessary. They are, indeed, 'essential.' The study of
contemporary Mormonism should not be attempted without them." Kathleen Flake,
Richard Lyman Bushman Professor of Mormon Studies, University of Virginia

"The depth and breadth of Mormon feminist thought assembled in this volume will bring
awareness to some and enlightenment to many. So much that has been thought and
felt among Mormon women is here for reflection, reference and discussion. This book will
enrich the legacy we treasure and point us to a proud future." Aileen Hales Clyde,
Chair, Utah's Task Force on Gender and Justice (1989); Regent, Utah System of Higher
Education (19892003); Counselor, Relief Society General Presidency, Church of Jesus
Christ of LatterDay Saints (19901997)

"In Mormon Feminism: Essential Writings a chorus of diverse women's voices
passionately and rationally weaves a narrative that shows us where we've been and
points us to the future. Set in recent decades of Mormon history, the story it tells
forgets nothing of universal womanhood. As I read, I felt a reassuring sisterhood being
formed among our different religious traditions and similar experiences. Together, we are
invited to explore and draw lessons from the nuanced feminist themes that connect our
lives, affect our faith, and impact our work for equality. There is much solace,
encouragement, and inspiration to take in the presence of such strong, smart, and
articulate women. This is a rich resource of feminist thought, problem solving, and
frameworks for activism that I will revisit again and again." Jennifer Crumpton, author
of Femmevangelical: The Modern Girl's Guide to the Good News

"Can one be a Mormon and a feminist? Through the careful combing of historical and
modern Mormon feminist writings, the complexity of what it means to be an equal
minded, intelligent woman in a patriarchal church is here presented in its hopeful,
heartbreaking, faithful entirety. Though the answer is complicated, this book honors
those who have bravely and eloquently added their voices to the movement. As a
church we owe these womentheir words and workmuch recognition for their progress
and perspective." C. Jane Kendrick, writer at cjanekendrick.com

"As Mormonism continues its evolution as a force in American public religious life, this
needed compendium will help characterize this uniquely American faith." Publishers

Keeping the Vow
The Untold Story of Married Catholic Priests
D. Paul Sullins
Key Selling Points
• First booklength sociological examination of married Catholic clergy and their wives
• Features 115 interviews with priests and their wives, as well as unprecedented access
to the U.S. records of the Pastoral Provision
• Draws on a national fullsample survey of U.S. Catholic bishops on married clergy
Summary
At one of the largest Catholic churches in America, hundreds of people make their way
into the spacious, wellappointed sanctuary for an evening Mass. The congregation is
several times larger than most Protestant megachurches. In addition to its twenty
weekly services, eight choirs, and elementary and middle schools, the church also
administers a long roster of Bible studies, home groups, community outreach, and
specialized programs for every conceivable class and group of persons. The sermon is
delivered by the pastor and celebrant priest who, at one point, refers to his struggle to
relate to his teenage daughter. No one is surprised, for the longtime leader of this
prominent Catholic Church, in a conservative suburb of the DallasFort Worth metroplex,
is a married Catholic priest.

Quotes

"An important and intriguing look at an underreported and underappreciated
development in postVatican II Catholic life." George Weigel, Distinguished Senior
Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington DC

"A fascinating insider look at a reality most Catholics are only faintly aware of within
their own church. Sullins tells a gripping story in its own right, but one that also has
important implications for the future of the Catholic priesthood." John L. Allen Jr.,
Associate Editor of the Boston Globe and Crux

"A fascinating study that answers such questions as: why are married priests becoming
Catholic now? What are their wives like? Why celibacy for Catholic priests? How do
married priests and celibate priests compare? Sullins is a very civilized writer, and
presents his material with admirable fairness." Michael Novak, author of On Two

Napoleon: A Concise Biography
David A. Bell
Key Selling Points
• The first reliable, concise biography of Napoleon in half a century
• Emphasis on Napoleon as selfpromoting celebrity and genius of the first total war
• Includes an interpretation of Napoleon that stresses his debts to the French
Revolution
Summary
This book provides a concise, accurate, and lively portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte's
character and career, situating him firmly in historical context.

David Bell emphasizes the astonishing sense of human possibilityfor both good and ill
that Napoleon represented. By his late twenties, Napoleon was already one of the
greatest generals in European history. At thirty, he had become absolute master of
Europe's most powerful country. In his early forties, he ruled a European empire more
powerful than any since Rome, fighting wars that changed the shape of the continent
and brought death to millions. Then everything collapsed, leading him to spend his last
years in miserable exile in the South Atlantic.

Bell emphasizes the importance of the French Revolution in understanding Napoleon's

We Gather Together
The Religious Right and the Problem of Interfaith Politics
Neil J. Young
Key Selling Points
• Upends widelybelieved myths about the rise of the Religious Right
• Offers an alternative political history of the last three decades
• One of the first books to include Mormons in discussions of the emergence of the
Religious Right
Summary
The story of the birth of the Religious Right is a familiar one. In the 1970s, mainly in
response to Roe v. Wade, evangelicals and conservative Catholics put aside their
longstanding historical prejudices and theological differences and joined forces to form a
potent political movement that swept across the country. In this provocative book, Neil
J. Young argues that almost none of this is true. Young offers an alternative history of
the Religious Right that upends these widelybelieved myths.

Theology, not politics, defined the Religious Right. The rise of secularism, pluralism, and
cultural relativism, Young argues, transformed the relations of America's religious
denominations. The interfaith collaborations among liberal Protestants, Catholics, and
Jews were met by a conservative Christian counterforce, which came together in a

6.1 in | 9.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED Examining the religious history of interfaith dialogue among conservative evangelicals,
Catholics, and Mormons, Young argues that the formation of the Religious Right was not
some brilliant political strategy hatched on the eve of a historyaltering election but
rather the latest iteration of a religious debate that had gone on for decades. This path
breaking book will reshape our understanding of the most important religious and political
movement of the last 30 years.

Quotes

"We Gather Together is a pathbreaking book that weaves the political biographies of
two familiar Religious Right combatants (conservative Catholicism and evangelical
Protestantism) with that of an oftoverlooked third (Mormonism) into one compelling tale
of growing power. As Neil Young expertly shows, this 'gathering together' was a
decadeslong process, and never a sure or stable thing. But despite all the theological
wrangling and factious namecalling, this coalition of anxious activists emerged as a
remarkably united, ecumenical front. Not only is this book a stellar work of history, but it
helps explain many of our current political battles."Darren Dochuk, Associate Professor
of History, University of Notre Dame
"This is an important book. Neil Young has dug deep into the familiar narrative of the rise
of the Religious Right to show that the collaboration of evangelicals, Catholics, and
Mormons was not the smooth and inevitable story of political expediency that many
have assumed it was. With subtlety and empathy, Young takes us through the
theological and cultural debates that divided each of these communities and compelled
many in their ranks to resist political pressure to join forces in the culture warsand he
helps us understand the complex alliance that finally emerged."Molly Worthen, author
of Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism
"While organizers of the Religious Right claimed to lead a natural and united 'moral
majority' of conservative believers, Neil J. Young demonstrates that their coalition was
much more diverse and delicate than previously understood. Impressively researched
and deftly argued, this brilliant book shows how an uneasy alliance of evangelicals,
Catholics, and Mormonsan alliance marked by competition as much as cooperation
nevertheless transformed religion and politics in modern America."Kevin M. Kruse,
author of One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America

• A fascinating portrait of a woman who rose from professional courtesan to influential
advisor and empress
Summary
Two of the most famous mosaics from the ancient world, in the church of San Vitale in
Ravenna, depict the sixthcentury emperor Justinian and, on the wall facing him, his
wife, Theodora (497548). This majestic portrait gives no inkling of Theodora's very
humble beginnings or her improbable rise to fame and power. Raised in a family of circus
performers near Constantinople's Hippodrome, she abandoned a successful acting career
in her late teens to follow a lover whom she was legally forbidden to marry. When he
left her, she was a single mother who built a new life for herself as a secret agent, in
which role she met the heir to the throne. To the shock of the ruling elite, the two were
married, and when Justinian assumed power in 527, they ruled the Eastern Roman
Empire together.

Their reign was the most celebrated in Byzantine history, bringing wealth, prestige, and
9780199740765 even Rome itself back to the Empire. Theodora was one of the dominant political figures
0199740763 of her era, helping shape imperial foreign and domestic policy and twice saving her

Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Greek and Latin at the University of Michigan. His books

Quotes

"Potter triumphantly extracts a convincing human being from Procopius' whore and the
saint of the Syrian Orthodox tradition. Deep knowledge of contextfrom theatre to
theologycombines with intense engagement with the sources to generate a
superlative account of the life and times of Byzantium's most iconic empress."
Peter Heather, author of The Restoration of Rome and Empires and Barbarians

"This gripping portrait of the empress Theodora captures the beauty, brilliance, and
piety of one of history's most compelling figures. The empress and her capital come alive
as Potter retraces the path that brought Theodora from obscurity to the center of
imperial power and her role in shaping Byzantium's most celebrated age."
Edward Watts, University of California, San Diego

"This book is much more than a straightforward biography or an apology for an empress
who has been slandered as oversexed or overambitious. Writing with palpable delight
and a deep knowledge of the period, Potter weaves Theodora into networks of athletes
and entertainers, generals and aristocrats, bishops and monks, showing her as level
headed, driven by selfinterest, and fiercely loyal to her close circle of supporters. In
the process, he offers new perspectives on the larger historical framework of the Later
Roman Empire during a time of challenges and transformations, spiked with colorful
insights into the daily life of women." Claudia Rapp, University of Vienna

The Evolution of Atheism
The Politics of a Modern Movement
Stephen LeDrew
Key Selling Points
• Argues that the New Atheism has parallels with religious fundamentalism
• Shows that divisions among atheists threaten to fracture the movement
• Rejects the widely accepted understanding of contemporary atheism as grounded in
liberalism, instead arguing for the existence of an "atheist Right" that mirrors the
Christian Right
• Contributes to ongoing public debates about the role of religion in public life and in
politics
Summary
The concept of evolution is widely considered to be a foundational building block in
atheist thought. Leaders of the New Atheist movement have taken Darwin's work and
used it to diminish the authority of religious institutions and belief systems. But they
have also embraced it as a metaphor for the gradual replacement of religious faith with
secular reason. They have posed as harbingers of human progress, claiming the moral
high ground, and rejecting with intolerance any message that challenges the hegemony
of science and reason. Religion, according to the New Atheists, should be relegated to
9780190225179
the Dark Ages of superstition and senseless violence.

6.1 in | 9.3 in
of the religion it tries so hard to malign.
Status:UNSPECIFIED

The Evolution of Atheism outlines the essential political tension at the heart of the
atheist movement. The New Atheism, LeDrew shows, is part of a tradition of atheist
thought and activism that promotes individualism and scientific authority, which puts it
at odds with atheist groups that are motivated by humanistic ethics and social justice.
LeDrew draws on public relations campaigns, publications, podcasts, and indepth
interviews to explore the belief systems, internal logics, and selfcontradictions of the
people who consider themselves to be atheists. He argues that evolving understandings
of what atheism means, and how it should be put into action, are threatening to
irrevocably fragment the movement.

An Opinionated Guide
Ethan Mordden
Key Selling Points
• Offers new insights into connections between Sondheim's shows
• Covers a wide range of topics relating to Sondheim
• Ideal for all theatregoers
• Written by preeminent expert in musical theatre
Summary
In On Sondheim, renowned author Ethan Mordden takes the reader on a tour of Stephen
Sondheim's work, arguing for the importance and appeal of the composerlyricist in
American theater and, even more, in American culture. Over the course of eighteen
shows, Mordden demonstrates that Sondheim is a classical composer who happens to
write musicals. Sondheim has intellectualized the musical by tackling serious content
usually reserved for the spoken stage: nonconformism (in Anyone Can Whistle, 1964),
history (in Pacific Overtures, 1976), and cannibalism as a metaphor for class warfare
(Sweeney Todd, 1979). Yet his work combines complex music and intellectual plots with
a masterly skill for the fabric of theatre. His shows are all intensely theatrical, produced
with flair and brilliance, whether in the lush operetta of A Little Night Music (1973) or
9780199394814
the quixotic fairytale magic of Into the Woods (1987).

Do We Have a Right to More?

Key Selling Points
• Argues that we have the right to one, and only one, child
• Examines the environmental costs of reproduction
• Proposes that some instances of governmental control over reproduction are
acceptable
Summary
A compelling argument for the morality of limitations on procreation in lessening the
harmful environmental effects of unchecked population

We live in a world where a burgeoning global population has started to have a major and
destructive environmental impact. The results, including climate change and the
struggle for limited resources, appear to be inevitable aspects of a difficult future.
Mandatory population control might be a possible last resort to combat this problem, but
is also a potentially immoral and undesirable violation of human rights. Since so many
view procreation as an essential component of the right to personal happiness and
autonomy, the dominant view remains that the government does not have the right to
impose these restrictions on its own citizens, for the sake of future people who have

Quotes

"Sarah Conly's book tackles an urgent, underdiscussed topic: Is having children an
unlimited, personal right? Or is this view no longer tenable in an era of vast increases in
human population? Professor Conly rejects unlimited procreation rights and defends a
one child per family limit as a moral imperative and perhaps as a legal requirement. This
very fine book is clearly written, thorough in its treatment of the issues, and very fair to
the opposing views."Stephen Nathanson, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy,

Alla Osipenko
Beauty and Resistance in Soviet Ballet
Joel Lobenthal
Key Selling Points
• First biography of one of the most famous ballerinas of the twentieth century
• An intimate portrayal of the personal and professional life of a Soviet dancer
• Draws back the curtain on eight decades of shifting Soviet life and art
Summary
Alla Osipenko is the gripping story of one of history's greatest ballerinas, a courageous
rebel who paid the price for speaking truth to the Soviet State.

The daughter of a distinguished Russian aristocratic and artistic family, Osipenko was
born in 1932 but was raised in a cocoon of preRevolutionary decorum and protocol. In
Leningrad she studied with Agrippina Vaganova, the most revered and influential of all
Russian ballet instructors. In 1950, she joined the Mariinsky (thenKirov) Ballet, where
her lines, shapes, and movements both exemplified the venerable traditions of Russian
ballet and propelled those traditions forward into uncharted and experimental realms.
She was the first of her generation of Kirov stars to enchant the West when she
danced in Paris in 1956. Five years later, she was a key figure in the sensational
9780190253707
success of the Kirov in its European debut.

Status:UNSPECIFIED life from Classical darling to avantgarde rebel. Throughout the book, Osipenko talks
frankly and freely in a way that few Russians of her generation have allowed themselves
to. She discusses her traumatic relationship to the Soviet state, her close but often
fraught relationship with her family, her four husbands, her lovers, her colleagues, and
her son's arrest in Leningrad and his subsequent death. Her voice rises above the
incidents as unhesitating and graceful as her legendary adagios. Candid, irreverent, and,
above all, independent Osipenko and her story open a window into a fascinating and
littlediscussed world.

discussed essays in applied ethics

Summary
In 1972, the young philosopher Peter Singer published "Famine, Affluence and Morality,"
which rapidly became one of the most widely discussed essays in applied ethics.
Through this article, Singer presents his view that we have the same moral obligations
to those far away as we do to those close to us. He argued that choosing not to send
lifesaving money to starving people on the other side of the earth is the moral
equivalent of neglecting to save drowning children because we prefer not to muddy our
shoes. If we can help, we mustand any excuse is hypocrisy. Singer's extreme stand
on our moral obligations to others became a powerful call to arms and continues to
challenge people's attitudes towards extreme poverty. Today, it remains a central
touchstone for those who argue we should all help others more than we do.

As Bill and Melinda Gates observe in their foreword, in the age of today's global
9780190219208 philanthropy, Singer's essay is as relevant now as it ever was. This attractively

Angels of the Underground
The American Women who Resisted the Japanese in the Philippines in World War
II
Theresa Kaminski
Key Selling Points
• An significant contribution to the growing body of work on the wartime experiences of
women
• A compelling story of two women whose clandestine wartime activities reveal the
larger complexities of resistance work and loyalty in an occupied country.
• Based on archival research, firsthand interviews, memoirs, and closed case files
Summary
When the Japanese began their brutal occupation of the Philippines in January 1942,
76,000 ill and starving Filipino and American troops tried to hold out on Bataan and
Corregidor. That spring, after having been forced to surrender, most of those men were
thrown into Japanese POW camps while dozens of others slipped away to organize
guerrilla forces. During the three violent years of occupation that followed, Allied
sympathizers in Manila smuggled supplies and information to the guerrillas and the
prisoners.

Theresa Kaminski's Angels of the Underground tells the story of four American women

HIS027100 An impressive work of scholarship grounded in archival research, FBI documents, and
6.1 in | 9.3 in memoirs, Angels of the Underground illuminates the complex political dimensions of the
Status:UNSPECIFIED occupied Philippines and its importance to the war effort in the Pacific. Kaminski's
narrative sheds light on the Japaneseoccupied city of Manila; the Bataan Death March
and subsequent incarceration of American military prisoners in camps O'Donnell and
Cabanatuan; and the formation of guerrilla units in the mountains of Luzon.

Angels of the Underground offers the compelling tale of four ordinary American women
propelled by extraordinary circumstances into acts of heroism, and makes a significant
contribution to the work on women's wartime experiences. Through the lives of Gladys,
Yay, Claire, and Peggy, who never wavered in their belief that it was their duty as
patriotic American women to aid the Allied cause, Kaminski highlights how women have
always been active participants in war, whether or not they wear a military uniform.

Why Our Lives Change and the Limits of Evolution
Felipe FernandezArmesto
Key Selling Points
• Why does human culture vary so radically from place to place and change at such a
bewildering pace?
• Felipe FernandezArmesto offers a radical answer to this fundamental question of
human history and speculates on what it might mean for our future
• Combines insights from a huge range of disciplines, including history, biology,

Summary
We are a weird species. Like other species, we have a culture. But by comparison with
other species, we are strangely unstable: human cultures selftransform, diverge, and
multiply with bewildering speed. They vary, radically and rapidly, from time to time and
place to place. And the way we live our manners, morals, habits, experiences,
relationships, technology, values seems to be changing at an ever accelerating pace.
The effects can be dislocating, baffling, sometimes terrifying. Why is this?

Key Selling Points
• An engaging narrative, describing and explaining the transformations undergone by
physics during its 2,500 years of development from its origins in Ancient Greece to its

Realpolitik
A History
John Bew
Key Selling Points
• The first succint history of Realpolitik, it fills a striking a gap in the intellectual market
• Uses specific case studies as well as broader ideas and theories
• Rather than getting entangled in remote academic debates, it is directed at a broad
general audience
• Likely to be controversial as it is stimulating
Summary
Realpolitik is approaching its 160th birthday, though it has existed as a form of
statecraft for centuries and is arguably as old as the conduct of foreign affairs itself.
Associated with great thinkers from Machiavelli to Kissinger, it is deeply rooted in the
history of diplomacy yet also remains strikingly relevant to debates on contemporary
foreign policy in the Obama administration today. Despite the fact that Realpolitik has
had something of a renaissance in recent years, however, it remains a surprisingly
elusive notion, defying easy categorization.

In this concise book, John Bew aims to address this gap, offering a history of the
9780199331932 concept of Realpolitik in the Englishspeaking world: its origins as an idea; its practical
0199331936 application to statecraft in the recent past; and its relevance to the foreign policy

and the preservation of global order. As such, Realpolitik has both successes and
Theory failures to its name, as Bew's comprehensive and evenhanded overview displays.
POL010000
5.5 in | 8.3 in Bew begins by charting the evolution of the idea through the work of important thinkers
Status:UNSPECIFIED or statesmen from Machiavelli, Cardinal de Richelieu, and Thomas Hobbes up through
Carl Schmitt, Kissinger, and Dennis Ross. He then examines how Realpolitik has been
evoked and operationalized in US and UK foreign policy during specific episodes in the
twentieth century, looking at such cases as the overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister
Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, and President Nixon's visit to the People's Republic of
China in 1972 often taken as the archetypal instance of Realpolitik in action. Bew then
uses this historical platform to look forward to emerging foreign policy challenges in a
changing, multipolar, geopolitical scene in which Realpolitik and agile statecraft
seems as important as ever. Suggesting that there is a uniquely AngloAmerican version
of Realpolitik, which reflects an attempt (not always a successful one) to reconcile
Western ideological and moral norms with purely utilitarian conceptions of the national
interest, Bew argues that a more accurate and sustainable version of AngloAmerican
Realpolitik is one that recognizes the draw of Enlightenment values and ideas.

Directed at a broader audience of current policymakers, legislators and commentators
with an interest in foreign affairs, this is a brilliant introduction to an important topic
from one of the field's rising stars.

Uninformed
Why People Seem to Know So Little about Politics and What We Can Do about It
Arthur Lupia
Key Selling Points
• Provides solutions for the societal problem of uninformed citizens
• Argues that key to educating uninformed citizens is not simply more information, but
instead teaching the right information in the right way
• Suggests methods of instruction based on years of research on educating voters
about important issues like climate change
Summary
Research polls, media interviews, and everyday conversations reveal an unsettling
truth: citizens, while wellmeaning and even passionate about current affairs, appear to
know very little about politics. Hundreds of surveys document vast numbers of citizens
answering even basic questions about government incorrectly. Given this unfortunate
state of affairs, it is not surprising that more knowledgeable people often deride the
public for its ignorance. Some experts even think that less informed citizens should stay
out of politics altogether.

As Arthur Lupia shows in Uninformed, this is not constructive. At root, critics of public
ignorance fundamentally misunderstand the problem. Many experts believe that simply
9780190263720
0190263725 providing people with more facts will make them more competent voters. However,

areas of research on topics like attention span and political psychology, he shows how

regulation to climate change. To attack the problem, he develops an arsenal of
techniques to effectively convey to people information they actually care about.

Citizens sometimes lack the knowledge that they need to make competent political
choices, and it is undeniable that greater knowledge can improve decision making. But
we need to understand that voters either don't care about or pay attention to much of
the information that expertst think is important. Uninformed provides the keys to
improving political knowledge and civic competence: understanding what information is
important to others and knowing how to best convey it to them.

Feast of Excess
A Cultural History of the New Sensibility
George Cotkin
Key Selling Points
• Offers a brisk survey of American cultural history from World War II to Watergate
• Features crisp, lively profiles of the flamboyant figures in rock music, visual art,
poetry, journalism, and fiction
• Penned in engaging, readable prose
Summary
In 1952, John Cage shocked audiences with 4'33," his composition showcasing the
power of silence. From Cage's minimalism to Chris Burden's radical performance art two
decades later, the postwar avantgarde sought to liberate the art world by shattering
the divide between high and low art.

Feast of Excess presents an engaging and accessible portrait of the cultural extremism
that emerged in the United States after World War II. This "New Sensibility," as termed
by Susan Sontag, was predicated upon excess, pushing and often crossing boundaries
whether in the direction of minimalism or maximalism. Through brief vignette profiles of
prominent figures in literature, music, visual art, poetry, theater and journalism, George

Quotes

"With great verve, George Cotkin's Feast of Excess demonstrates beyond any doubt
that the inyourface culture of provocation we rightly associate with the 1960s had
much deeper roots and a long and varied life. Ranging impressively through all the arts,
nicely balanced between anecdote and analysis, this book cuts a wide swath through
postwar American culture." Morris Dickstein, author of Dancing in the Dark and Gates
of Eden
"Feast of Excess is a tour de force. George Cotkin moves across a vast array of figures
who created the New Sensibility, traversing different media like painting, photography,
music, performance art, literature, and journalism. Both sympathetic yet criticalneither
a curmudgeonly neoconservative nor a blind partisanCotkin manages to provide a full
picture of what some historians call the long Sixties. This book will serve as the work on
the New Sensibility for years to come. And to top it all off, it's a pleasure to read."
Kevin Mattson, author of Just Plain Dick: Richard Nixon's Checkers Speech and the
"Rocking, Socking" Election of 1952
"George Cotkin brings his signature inventiveness and subtlety to an American cultural
period and style that previously lacked a name. Feast of Excess makes vividly real the
ragged debauchery and bluntforce iconoclasm of the New Sensibility of extravagance
of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This is an utterly arresting book." Jennifer Ratner

Ezra Pound: Poet
Volume III: The Tragic Years 19391972
A. David Moody
Key Selling Points
• The final volume of David Moody's critically acclaimed biography
• Offers the first thoroughly comprehensive account of Pound's life and work
• Covers Pound's tragic final years
Summary
This third and final volume of A. David Moody's critical life of Ezra Pound presents
Pound's personal tragedy in a tragic time. The first volumes of Moody's biography have
been acclaimed as 'masterly' (Daily Telegraph), 'exceptional' (Literary Review), and
'invaluable' (New York Times Book Review). In this concluding volume, we experience the
19391945 World War, and Pound's hubristic involvement in Fascist Italy's part in it; we
encounter the grave moral and intellectual error of Pound holding the Jewish race
responsible for the war; and his consequent downfall, being charged with treason,
condemned as an antiSemite, and shut up for twelve years in an institution for the
insane. Further, we see Pound stripped for life, by his own counsel and wife, of his civil
and human rights.

Pound endured what was inflicted upon him, justly and unjustly, without complaint; and

Reading C.S. Lewis
A Commentary
Wesley A. Kort
Key Selling Points
• Provides commentary on C. S. Lewis's major works
• Evaluates books on their own merit rather than in light of reader preconceptions
• Frames the themes and components of C. S. Lewis's individual texts in the context of
his overall project
Summary
From the unbending belief in invisible powers that animates Till We Have Faces to the
depiction of Aslan's sacrifice and resurrection in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe,
C. S. Lewis's writing has sparked intense debate about the presence and function of
religion in his works. Today, a reader's opinion of Lewis is more often than not based on
his or her perspectives on religion. In Reading C. S. Lewis, Wesley A. Kort examines
Lewis's work as a whole, investigating why and at what points Lewis turns to religion
and particularly to Christianityin order to advance his arguments.

Kort moves through more than a dozen of Lewis's major books, providing a useful guide
to their various elements while connecting readers to the literary contexts that
influenced the works and Lewis himself. Reading C. S. Lewis examines the standing of
9780190221348

In Praise of Litigation
Alexandra Lahav
Key Selling Points
• Features the controversial and counterintuitive thesis that litigation is good for
society
• Presents an original theory of why litigation is good based on democratic values
Summary
It is not difficult to find critics of America's famously litigious society. We have more
lawyers per capita than anywhere else. Critics say we are unmatched in our willingness
to sue, pointing to anecdotes of frivolous suits such as a man who sued his drycleaner
over a pair of pants or parents who sued a school when their son broke his leg going
down a slide head first. The critics contend that the primary beneficiaries of litigation
are attorneys themselves, and that the main effect of excessive litigiousness is reduced
business innovation. The tort reform movement that they championdedicated to limiting
the reach of lawsuits and in some cases eliminating certain types of suits altogether
has become a powerful force in America politics and law.

The tort reform movement has had some real successes in limiting what can reach the
courts, but there have been victims too. As Alexandra Lahav shows, it has become
9780199380800
increasingly difficult for ordinary people to enforce their rights. In the grand scale of
0199380805 lawsuits, actually crazy or bogus lawsuits constitute a tiny minority; in fact, most
Pub Date: 5/1/2016 anecdotes turn out to be misrepresentations of what actually happened. In In Praise of
$29.95 Litigation, Lahav argues that critics are blinded to the many benefits of lawsuits. The
Discount Code: 1A
majority of lawsuits promote equality before the law, transparency, and accountability.
Hardcover
Our ability to go to court is a sign of our strength as a society and enables us to both
256 Pages participate in and reinforce the rule of law. In addition, joining lawsuits gives citizens
Law / Litigation direct access to governmental officialsjudgeswho can hear their arguments about
LAW064000
issues central to our democracy, including the proper extent of police power and the
6.1 in | 9.3 in
ability of all people to vote. It is at least arguable that lawsuits have helped spur major
Status:UNSPECIFIED
social changes in arenas like race relations and marriage rights, as well as made
products safer and forced wrongdoers to answer for their conduct.

In this defense, Lahav does not ignore the obvious drawbacks to litigiousness. It is
expensive, stressful, and time consuming. Certainly, sensible reforms could make the
system better. However, many of the proposals that have been adopted and are
currently on the table seek only to solve problems that do not exist or to make it harder
for citizens to defend their rights and to enforce the law. This is not the answer. In
Praise of Litigation offers a levelheaded and lawbased assessment of the state of
litigation in America as well as a number of practical steps that can be taken to ensure
citizens have the right to defend themselves against wrongs while not odiously infringing
on the rights of others.

taught at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia law schools. Before becoming an academic she

Summary
While the Naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba is wellknown its infamous prison camp,
few people are aware of its prior use as an immigrant detention center for Haitian and
Cuban refugees. Beginning in August 1994, the United States government declared that

The Science of the Perfect Swing
Peter Dewhurst
Key Selling Points
• An accessible guide to the hard science of golf
• Features numerous illustrations, charts, and graphs
• Discusses topics like trajectory, the physical interaction of club with ball, and putting.
Summary
While golf has a popular following among casual fans, it has become popular among
another passionate yet unlikely group: scientists. Beyond the caddies, carts, and clubs,
the game of golf is an applied science. The seemingly simple act of striking a golf ball
invokes a wide range of processes, including physics principles such as energy transfer,
kinetics, launch angles, spin, and momentum. However, in spite of the growing interest
in the fledgling field of "golf science," few books thus far have provided a comprehensive
introduction of the subject.
In The Science of the Perfect Swing, mechanical engineer Peter Dewhurst offers a full
treatment of the science of modern golf. Based on three decades of experience in the
physics of golf, Dewhurst examines topics such as the interaction between club face
and ball, various aspects of trajectory and impact, and the physics of putting. Rich in
illustrations, graphs, and charts, Dewhurst presents physicsbased discussions in an
9780199382194
accessible format. Each chapter also contains a substantial "Findings and
0199382190 Consequences" section, which draws conclusions based on the science, and makes
Pub Date: 12/1/2015 recommendations on ballstriking and other facets of the game. From the mechanics of
$35.00 club design to modeling the trajectory of the ball once it leaves the club face, The
Discount Code: 1A
Science of the Perfect Swing unravels some of the elusive mysteries about what it takes
Hardcover
to play a great game of golf.
328 Pages Interesting and informative, The Science of the Perfect Swing strikes a perfect balance

The Four Freedoms
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Evolution of an American Idea
Jeffrey A. Engel
Key Selling Points
• Includes seven essays by top scholars, including a photo essay on visual
representations of the Four Freedoms
• Explains how the quest for universal freedom has animated American actions overseas
since 1941 while simultaneously inspiring much of the global opposition to American
power by those with a vastly different sense of the kinds of freedom they desire
• Argues that the freedom from want FDR aimed to provide for the American people was
replaced over time by protection of freedom of the marketplace, which has helped
produce today's income equality
An incisive look at FDR's most famous speech and the ways it has come to define
America
Summary
The specter of global war loomed large in President Franklin Roosevelt's mind as he
prepared to present his 1941 State of the Union address. He believed the United States
had a role to play in the battle against Nazi and fascist aggression already underway in
Europe, yet his rallying cry to the nation was about more than just national security or
9780199376216
why Americans should care about a fight still far overseas. He instead identified how
0199376212 Americans defined themselves as a people, with words that resonated and defined the
Pub Date: 12/14/2015 parameters of American politics and foreign policy for generations. Roosevelt framed

25 illus. In this new look at one of the most influential presidential addresses ever delivered,
HIS036060 historian Jeffrey A. Engel joins together with six other leading scholars to explore how
each of Roosevelt's freedoms evolved over time, for Americans and for the wider world.
6.1 in | 9.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED They examine the ways in which the word "freedom" has been used by Americans and
others, across decades and the political spectrum. However, they are careful to note
that the acceptance of the freedoms has been far from universal even within the
United States. Freedom from want, especially, has provoked clashes between those in
favor of an expanded welfare state and proponents of limited government from the
1940s to the present day.

In this sweeping look at the way American conceptions of freedom have evolved over
time, The Four Freedoms brings to light a new portrait of who Americans were in 1941
and who they have become today in their own eyes and in the eyes of the entire
world.

No Depression in Heaven
Religion and the Great Depression in the Mississippi Delta
Alison Collis Greene
Key Selling Points
• Lyrically written study of the Depressionera Delta
• Makes a critical argument about the role of churches in Southern rural society and
their failure during the Depression
• Brings to life the distinct but intersecting worlds of black and white Americans during
the Depression
Summary
Nowhere was the transition from churchbased aid to federal welfare state brought
about by the Great Depression more dramatic than in the South. For a moment, the
southern Protestant establishment turned to face the suffering that plantation
capitalism pushed behind its image of planter's hats and hoopskirts. When starving white
farmers marched into an Arkansas town to demand food for their dying children and
when priests turned away hungry widows and orphans because they were no needier
than anyone else, southern clergy of both races spoke with one voice to say that they
had done all they could. It was time for a higher power to intervene. They looked to
God, and then they looked to Roosevelt.

Surviving Wounded Knee
The Lakotas and the Politics of Memory
David W. Grua
Key Selling Points
• A fluid and evenhanded study of the memory and history of a key Indian battle in
American history
• A revisionist account of the most documented Indian War in US history
• Argues that Wounded Knee did not end the Indian Wars but simply transferred the
venue of conflict from the killing field to the field of memory
Summary
On December 29, 1890, the US Seventh Cavalry killed more than two hundred Lakota
Ghost Dancers including men, women, and children at Wounded Knee Creek, South
Dakota. After the work of death ceased at Wounded Knee Creek, the work of memory
commenced. For the US Army and some whites, Wounded Knee represented the site
where the struggle between civilization and savagery for North America came to an end.
For other whites, it was a stain on the national conscience, a leading example of
America's dishonorable dealings with Native peoples. For Lakota people it was the site of
the "biggest murders," where the United States violated its treaty promises and
slaughtered innocents.

In 1994, David Hernandez, a smalltime drugdealer in Spanish Harlem, got out of the

The Astronomer and the Witch
Johannes Kepler's Fight for his Mother
Ulinka Rublack
Key Selling Points
• The bizarre but revealing tale of the astronomer Johannes Kepler's long struggle to
protect his mother from execution as a witch
• An intense family drama that takes us to the heart of Kepler's changing world
• Brings to life a small Lutheran community in the center of Europe at the height of the
witchcraze
• Offers a fascinating glimpse into Kepler's world view, on the cusp between Reformation
and scientific revolution
Summary
Johannes Kepler (15711630) was one of the most admired astronomers who ever lived
and a key figure in the scientific revolution. A defender of Copernicus's suncentred
universe, he famously discovered that planets move in ellipses and defined the three
laws of planetary motion. Perhaps less well known is that in 1615, when Kepler was at
the height of his career, his widowed mother Katharina was accused of witchcraft. The
proceedings led to a criminal trial that lasted six years, with Kepler conducting his
mother's defense.

9780198736776 In The Astronomer and the Witch, Ulinka Rublack pieces together the tale of this

Kepler's defense of his mother also offers us a fascinating glimpse into the great
HIS014000 astronomer's world view, on the cusp between Reformation and scientific revolution.
Status:UNSPECIFIED While advancing rational explanations for the phenomena that his mother's accusers
attributed to witchcraft, Kepler nevertheless did not call into question the existence of
magic and witches. On the contrary, he clearly believed in them. And, as the story
unfolds, it appears that there were moments when even Katharina's children wondered
whether their mother really did have nothing to hide...

Quotes

"...[A]n enthralling, manysided book... [A]t once a vivid introduction to a fascinating
social and cultural world; a profound analysis of a witch trial...and a deep study of one
of the greatest scientists who ever lived..." Professor Anthony Grafton, Princeton
University

"Gripping and inspiring, this tale of the sixyear battle to clear Katharina Kepler of the
charge of witchcraft yields striking new insights into the personalities and families
involved, their communities and their culture... The past, with its hopes and fears,
comes wonderfully to life in this scholarly masterwork." Professor Nicholas Jardine,
University of Cambridge

"This book takes you right to the heart of life in the seventeenth century, with all its
sense of intellectual possibility, its dreams and its fears. Rublack tells a shocking story.
How was it possible for the mother of the famous scientist Kepler to be accused of
witchcraft, and why did she come to trial? In gripping prose, Rublack shows how the
case destroyed those involved in it. She makes us understand how witchcraft could be
credible and why people feared it so much. She makes us understand the psychological
wellsprings of Kepler's work. And she presents a whole new account of scientific thinking
and its relationship to natural knowledge at the dawn of a new era. The most compelling
book I have read for a long time." Professor Lyndal Roper, University of Oxford

Great Battles Series

Key Selling Points
• The story of Saladin's victory at Hattin a pivotal moment in the history of the

• Reveals how Saladin won the battle that led to the Muslim recapture of Jerusalem
and the bitter roots of hatred that underlay it
• Illuminates the importance of Hattin in world history and its mythic significance in
the Muslim world up to the present
Summary
On July 4, 1187 the legendary Muslim leader Saladin destroyed the Crusader army of the
Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem with a terrible slaughter at the battle of Hattin and
subsequently restored the Holy City of Jerusalem to Islamic rule.

The carnage at Hattin was the culmination of almost a century of religious wars
between Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land. It had enormous consequences for the
whole medieval world because it produced an intensification of holy war between Islam
and Europe for over another century and, in retrospect, marked the beginning of the

Status:UNSPECIFIED

A charismatic personality, he held leftwing political views, and believed that the
Christian churches had dangerously undervalued sexuality. To redress the balance, he
developed a "Romantic Theology", aiming at an approach to God through sexual love. He
became the most admired lecturer in wartime Oxford, influencing a generation of young
writers before dying suddenly at the height of his powers.

This biography draws on a wealth of documents, letters and private papers, many never
before opened to researchers, and on more than twenty interviews with people who
knew Williams. It vividly recreates the bizarre and dramatic life of this strange, uneasy
genius, of whom Eliot wrote, "For him there was no frontier between the material and
the spiritual world."

On Purpose
How We Create the Meaning of Life
Paul Froese
Key Selling Points
• Draws on large national and international surveys, as well as hundreds of interviews
• Critiques religious, political, and selfhelp solutions to the problem of meaning in the
world and in life
• Demonstrates that having a purpose in life has concrete benefits for health and well
being
• Argues that your purpose is highly dependent on factors outside your control
Summary
What is your purpose in life? This simple question motivates some of our most life
altering decisions, deeplyheld beliefs, and profound emotions, as well as the choices we
make every single day. How we derive meaning from our existence is crucial to finding
happiness, developing relationships, and building societies. In On Purpose, Paul Froese
brings together data from large national and international surveys with interviews that
illuminate the ways in which people from all walks of life grapple with their continuous
search for reason, truth, sense, success, happiness, andultimatelytranscendence.
Froese argues that the desire to connect with something larger than oneself is a

universal urge, manifested most directly, but far from solely, in religious communities.

Social Science / Sociology of
Religion serve as a kind of soil that can either nurture purpose or foster meaninglessness.
SOC039000 Framing the book around six key questions, Froese refuses to collapse the meaning of
6.1 in | 9.3 in life into a single authoritative answer, as selfhelp gurus do. Instead, he deconstructs
Status:UNSPECIFIED each question to reveal the social pathways that guide people to distinctive answers.

Through lively, engaging storytelling that mixes data and analysis with literary and
historical examples of the quest for purpose, Froese sheds new light on a timeless and
alltoohuman quandary. The moral of the book is not that life has some ultimate
meaning or no meaning at all, but rather that creating a purposedriven life has always
been a collective project.

The Lost White Tribe
Explorers, Scientists, and the Theory that Changed a Continent
Michael F. Robinson
Key Selling Points
• Very few books on Henry Morton Stanley mention the discovery of Mount
Gambaragara and none discuss his encounter with lightskinned peoples there
• No book has focused exclusively on white tribes and the Hamitic Hypothesis
• Combines vivid stories of exploration with a compelling scientific mystery
Summary
In 1876, in a mountainous region to the west of Lake Victoria, Africawhat is today
Ruwenzori Mountains National Park in Ugandathe famed explorer Henry Morton Stanley
encountered Africans with what he was convinced were light complexions and European
features. Stanley's discovery of this African "white tribe" haunted him and seemed to
substantiate the socalled Hamitic Hypothesis: the theory that the descendants of
Ham, the son of Noah, had populated Africa and other remote places, proving that the
source and spread of human races around the world could be traced to and explained by
a Biblical story.

In The Lost White Tribe, Michael Robinson traces the rise and fall of the Hamitic
Hypothesis. In addition to recounting Stanley's "discovery," Robinson shows how it
9780199978489
0199978484 influenced others, including that of the Ainu in Japan; or Vilhjalmur Stefansson's tribe of
Pub Date: 1/5/2016 "blond Eskimos" in the Arctic; or the 9,000yearold skeleton found in Washington State

Charles Mauch's discovery of the Grand Zimbabwe site in 1872, and literature, such as

History / Modern subgenre dedicated to white tribes in remote places. The Hamitic Hypothesis would
HIS037060
shape the theories of Carl Jung and guide psychological and anthropological notions of
6.1 in | 9.3 in the primitive.
Status:UNSPECIFIED

The Hypothesis also formed the foundation for the European colonial system, which was
premised on assumptions about racial hierarchy, at whose top were the white races, the
purest and oldest of them all. It was a small step from the Hypothesis to theories of
Aryan superiority, which served as the basis of the race laws in Nazi Germany and had
horrific and catastrophic consequences. Though racial thinking changed profoundly after
World War Two, a version of Hamitic validation of the "whiter" tribes laid the groundwork
for conflict within Africa itself after decolonization, including the Rwandan genocide.

Based on painstaking archival research, The Lost White Tribe is a fascinating, immersive,
and wideranging work of synthesis, revealing the roots of racial thinking and the
legacies that continue to exert their influence to this day.

Summary
John Birch was better known in death than life. Shot and killed by Communists in China,
he posthumously became the namesake for a rightwing organization whose influence is
still visible in today's Tea Party. This is the remarkable story of an American missionary
turnedsoldier who wanted to save China, but became a victim instead.

relatives, found letters written to the women he loved, and visited sites in China where
he lived and died. The result is the first authoritative biography of this fascinating figure

Ballot Battles
The History of Disputed Elections in the United States
Edward Foley
Key Selling Points
• The first history of election controversies in the United States since its founding
• Explains why elections especially those with high stakes have and will continue to
be fraught with controversy
• Offers an explanation for how the structure of the American political system came to
be and how that structure contributes to problematical electoral processes
Summary
The 2000 presidential race resulted in the highestprofile ballot battle in over a century.
But it is far from the only American election determined by a handful of votes and
marred by claims of fraud. Since the founding of the nation, violence frequently erupted
as the votes were being counted, and more than a few elections produced manifestly
unfair results. Despite America's claim to be the world's greatest democracy, its
adherence to the basic tenets of democratic electionsthe ability to count ballots
accurately and fairly even when the stakes are highhas always been shaky. A rigged
gubernatorial election in New York in 1792 nearly ended in calls for another revolution,
and an 1899 gubernatorial race even resulted in an assassination. Though acts of
9780190235277
violence have decreased in frequency over the past century, fairness and accuracy in
0190235276 ballot counting nonetheless remains a basic problem in American political life.

the United States, tracing how their evolution generated legal precedents that

ultimately transformed how we determine who wins and who loses. While weaving a
560 Pages narrative spanning over two centuries, Foley repeatedly returns to an originating event:
History / United States because the Founding Fathers despised parties and never envisioned the emergence of
HIS036000
a party system, they wrote a constitution that did not provide clear solutions for high
6.1 in | 9.3 in
stakes and highlycontested elections in which two parties could pool resources against
Status:UNSPECIFIED
one another. Moreover, in the American political system that actually developed,
politicians are beholden to the parties which they represent and elected officials have
typically had an outsized say in determining the outcomes of extremely close elections
that involve recounts. This underlying structural problem, more than anything else,
explains why intense ballot battles that leave one side feeling aggrieved will continue to
occur for the foreseeable future.

American democracy has improved dramatically over the last two centuries. But the
same cannot be said for the ways in which we determine who wins the very close
races. From the founding until today, there has been little progress toward fixing the
problem. Indeed, supporters of John Jay in 1792 and opponents of Lyndon Johnson in
the 1948 Texas Senate race would find it easy to commiserate with Al Gore after the
2000 election. Ballot Battles is not only the first full chronicle of contested elections in
the US. It also provides a powerful explanation of why the American election system has
beenand remainsso ineffective at deciding the tightest races in a way that all sides
will agree is fair.

Summary
International military interventions can be extremely costly in terms of monetary
resources, logistical challenges, and possible soldier and civilian casualties, as well as
the potential for catastrophic results to international relations and agreements. In one
such example of these enormous potential costs, the US and UK wished to stop a

State Department attorney, and international law scholar in analyzing the theory and
Status:UNSPECIFIED practice of the strategic leveraging of law as an increasingly powerful and effective
weapon in the current global security landscape. Lawfare incorporates case studies of
recent offensive and defensive lawfare by the United States, Iran, China, and by both
sides of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict and includes dozens of examples of how lawfare
has thus been waged and defended against. Kittrie notes that since private attorneys
can play important and decisive roles in their nations' national security plans through
their expertise in areas like financial law, maritime insurance law, cyber law, and
telecommunications law, the full scope of lawfare's impact and possibilities are just
starting to be understood. With international security becoming an ever complicated
minefield of concerns and complications, understanding this alternative to armed force
has never been more important.

Defenders of the Unborn
The ProLife Movement before Roe v. Wade
Daniel K. Williams
Key Selling Points
• Draws from a wide range of previously unexamined archival sources
• Offers a new portrayal of the prolife movement that will surprise people on both sides
of the abortion debate
Summary
On April 16, 1972, ten thousand people gathered in Central Park to protest New York's
liberal abortion law. Emotions ran high, reflecting the nation's extreme polarization over
abortion. Yet the divisions did not fall neatly along partisan or religious linesthe
assembled protesters were far from a bunch of firebreathing culture warriors. In
Defenders of the Unborn, Daniel K. Williams reveals the hidden history of the prolife
movement in America, showing that a cause that many see as reactionary and anti
feminist began as a liberal crusade for human rights.

For decades, the media portrayed the prolife movement as a Catholic cause, but by
the time of the Central Park rally, that stereotype was already hopelessly outdated. The
kinds of people in attendance at prolife rallies ranged from white Protestant physicians,
Oxford University Press to young mothers, to African American Democratic legislatorseven the occasional

who craves a deeper understanding of a highlycharged issue.

The Future of Foreign Intelligence
Privacy and Surveillance in a Digital Age
Laura Donohue
Key Selling Points
• Approaches the controversy of 4th amendment infringements from the perspective of
national security law
• Assesses how technology has changed the way we must look at government
surveillance
• Takes a moderate, rational approach to the future of surveillance that necessary for
national security yet does not violate the rights of citizens
Summary
Since the Revolutionary War, America's military and political leaders have recognized
that U.S. national security depends upon the collection of intelligence. Absent
information about foreign threats, the thinking went, the country and its citizens stood
in great peril. To address this, the Courts and Congress have historically given the
President broad leeway to obtain foreign intelligence. But in order to find information
about an individual in the United States, the executive branch had to demonstrate that
the person was an agent of a foreign power. Today, that barrier no longer exists. The
intelligence community now collects massive amounts of data and then looks for
potential threats to the United States.

Discount Code: 1A systems have not changed our lives in countless ways. But they have also led to a very
Hardcover
worrying transformation. The amount and types of information that the government can
224 Pages obtain has radically expanded, and information that is being collected for foreign
Law / Civil Rights intelligence purposes is now being used for domestic criminal prosecution. Traditionally,
LAW013000
Series: Inalienable Rights
the Courts have allowed exceptions to the Fourth Amendment rule barring illegal search
and seizure on national security grounds. But the new ways in which we collect
5.5 in | 8.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED intelligence are swallowing the rule altogether. Just as alarming, the everweaker
standards that mark foreign intelligence collection are now being used domesticallyand
the convergence between these realms threatens individual liberty.

Donohue traces the evolution of foreign intelligence law and pairs that account with the
progress of Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. She argues that the programmatic
surveillance that the National Security Agency conducts amounts to a general warrant
the prevention of which was the point of introducing the Fourth Amendment. The
expansion of foreign intelligence surveillanceleant momentum by significant advances in
technology, the Global War on Terror, and the emphasis on securing the homelandnow
threatens to consume protections essential to privacy, which is a necessary component
of a healthy democracy. Donohue offers an agenda for reining in the national security
state's expansive reach, primarily through Congressional statutory reform that will force
the executive and judicial branches to take privacy seriously, even as it provides for the
continued collection of intelligence central to U.S. national security. Both alarming and
penetrating, this is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of foreign
intelligence and privacy in the United States.

The Future of the Professions
How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts
Richard Susskind, Daniel Susskind
Key Selling Points
• The first book to challenge the relevance of the professions in the 21st century
• Describes how technology will transform the work of all professionals
• Urges readers to rethink the way that expertise is shared in society
• Builds on 30 years of research and practical work
• Presents groundbreaking thinking on the future of work and artificial intelligence
• Outlines the people and systems that, in the long term, will replace the professions
Beyond the Professions explains how increasingly capable technologies will place the
'practical expertise' of the finest specialists at the fingertips of everyone, often at no or
low cost and without facetoface interaction.
Summary
This book predicts the decline of today's professions and describes the people and
systems that will replace them. In an Internet society, according to Richard Susskind
and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants,
architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in
the 20th century.

The authors challenge the 'grand bargain' the arrangement that grants various

Status:UNSPECIFIED
The book raises important practical and moral questions. In an era when machines can
outperform human beings at most tasks, what are the prospects for employment, who
should own and control online expertise, and what tasks should be reserved exclusively
for people?

Based on the authors' indepth research of more than ten professions, and illustrated by
numerous examples from each, this is the first book to assess and question the
relevance of the professions in the 21st century.

Shooting Up
A Short History of Drugs and War
Lukasz Kamienski

• Provides comprehensive, lively coverage of an important and neglected topic.
• Examines the dilemma of curing traumatised soldiers through drugs, and thereby risking
their dehumanisation into emotionless killers
• Anyone interested in the relationship between drugs and war will automatically consult
this book.
Summary
Shooting Up: A Short History of Drugs and War examines how intoxicants have been put
to the service of states, empires and their armies throughout history. Since the
beginning of organized combat, armed forces have prescribed drugs to their members for
two general purposes: to enhance performance during combat and to counter the
trauma of killing and witnessing violence after it is over. Stimulants (e.g. alcohol,
cocaine, and amphetamines) have been used to temporarily create better soldiers by
that improving stamina, overcoming sleeplessness, eliminating fatigue, and increasing
fighting spirit. Downers (e.g. alcohol, opiates, morphine, heroin, marijuana, barbiturates)
have also been useful in dealing with the soldier's greatest enemy shattered nerves.
Kamienski's focuses on drugs "prescribed" by military authorities, but also documents the

Building a Business of Politics
The Rise of Political Consulting and the Transformation of American Democracy
Adam Sheingate
Key Selling Points
l Traces the history of political consultants to the earlytwentieth century
l Examines the correlation between the use of political consultants and the rise of
the "permanent campaign"
l Argues that consultants affect not only what constituents know about politicians,
but also what politicians know about their constituents; therefore, understanding
this privileged relationship is critical to understanding the current state of
American politics
Summary
Political races in the United States rely heavily on highly paid political consultants who
carefully curate the images of politicians, advise candidates on polling and analytics,
and shape voters' perceptions through marketing and advertising techniques. More than

half of the $6 billion spent in the 2012 election went to consultants who controlled
virtually every aspect of the campaigns, from polling, fundraising, and media to more

American Political Development campaigns.
Status:UNSPECIFIED
The implications of this system on the state of American democracy are significant: the
rise of the permanent campaign brings with it the rise of a permanent campaign
industry. A professional political class stands between the voters and those who claim
to represent them, influencing messages on both sides. Sheingate not only shows how
political consultants have reshaped politics, though; he also covers recent
developments like the commercialization of digital campaign tools and the consolidation
of the political consulting industry into global media conglomerates. Building a Business
of Politics is both a definitive account of the consulting profession and a powerful
reinterpretation of how political professionals reshaped American democracy in the
modern era.

Shadows of Revolution
Reflections on France, Past and Present
David A. Bell
Key Selling Points
• Collects, for the first time, David Bell's essays on France and its history in a single
volume
• Reflects on the French Revolution and how it continues to affect France and the rest
of the world
• Examines the aftermath of the Vichy regime in France and the country's attempts to
come to terms with its part in World War II
Summary
Renowned historian, essayist, and journalist David A. Bell has long made France and its
history the subject of his scholarly gaze and the object of his enduring affection.
Shadows of Revolution: Reflections on France, Past and Present gathers together his
writing, composed over a period of more than 25 years, into a single volume. As the title
of this collection suggests, Bell views much of French history through the lens of the
Revolutionary era. Within a space of a dozen years, from Bastille to Bonaparte, the
country experimented with and experienced every form of governance, creating in the
process, as Bell puts it, "the most intense political laboratory the world had ever
known." The Revolution remains the country's defining era, delineating its sense of
9780190262686

Summary
The discovery of the Americas around 1500 AD was an extraordinary watershed in
human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon
global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on earth.
This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic
for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all.

In this work, acclaimed environmental historian Donald Worster takes a global view in his

examination of the ways in which complex issues of worldwide abundance and scarcity
Oxford University Press have shaped American society and behavior over three centuries. Looking at the limits

Just Another Southern Town
Mary Church Terrell and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Nation's Capital
Joan Quigley
Key Selling Points
• The first trade book on United States v. Thompson, a landmark case in the earliest
days of the civil rights movement
• Brings attention to the indomitable Mary Church Terrell, who has been overlooked by
civil rights scholarship
• A lively courtroom drama that considers questions of the Supreme Court's role as an
arbiter of social change
Summary
In January of 1950, Mary Church Terrell, an 86yearold charter member of the NAACP,
headed into Thompson's Restaurant, just a few blocks from the White House, and
requested to be served. She and her companions were informed by the manager that
they could not eat in his establishment, because they were "colored." Terrell, a former
suffragette and one of the country's first collegeeducated African American women,
took the matter to court. Three years later, the Supreme Court vindicated her outrage:
United States v. Thompson was decided in June 1953, invalidating the segregation of
restaurants and cafes in the nation's capital.

segregation in D.C. restaurants. Through the prism of Terrell's story, Quigley reassesses
320 Pages Washington's relationship to civil rights history, bringing to life a pivotal fight for equality
20 b/w that erupted five years before Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of a Montgomery
HIS036060 bus and a decade before the student sitin movement rocked segregated lunch
counters across the South.
6.1 in | 9.3 in
Status:UNSPECIFIED
At a time when most civil rights scholarship begins with Brown v. Board of Education,
Just Another Southern Town unearths the story of the nation's capital as an early
flashpoint on race. A rich portrait of American politics and society in the mid20th
century, it interweaves Terrell's narrative with the courtroom drama of the case and the
varied personalities of the justices who ultimately voted unanimously to prohibit
segregated restaurants. Resonating with gestures of courage and indignation that
radiate from the capital's streets and sidewalks to its marbleclad seats of power, this
work restores Mary Church Terrell and the case that launched a crusade to their rightful
place in the pantheon of civil rights history.

How Finance Wins
Lawrence Jacobs, Desmond King
Key Selling Points
• Powerful critique of how the Federal Reserve governs the American economy
• Essential reading for anyone interested in inequality
Summary
The Federal Reserve is the most powerful central bank in the world. Without its central
bank, America would be subject to devastating fluctuations in currency value and

America is heading into the next financial crisis without an effective central bank. 'End

favoritism, but also speaks to a national feeling of the Fed's illegitimacy. Of course, we

unemployment and impoverishment. Jacobs and King present an energetic reform agenda

all and not just a few.

The China Triangle
Latin America's China Boom and the Fate of the Washington Consensus
Kevin P. Gallagher
Key Selling Points
• First comprehensive account of China's economic penetration into Latin America
• Includes unique database derived by Gallagher that tracks Chinese loans to Latin
American governments which now outstrip finance from the World Bank and Inter
American Development Bank
• First book to also focus on the effects of the China boom on the social and
environmental dimension
Summary
Since 1980, China has evolved from a poor and mostly rural society into one of the
largest economies in the world. As it grew into a major industrial power, it demanded
enormous amounts of steel for new factories and cities, copper for electronic wires,
petroleum for cars and manufacturing plants, and soybeans and cattle to feed its
workers. By the 1990s, many Latin American countries were riding China's coattails and
beginning to prosper from the new demand. Ever since China entered the World Trade
Organization at the turn of the century, Latin America supplied China with more and
more of the primary commodities it needs and more. That in turn has produced one the
9780190246730
most impressive periods of economic growth on the continent in fifty years. And it was

Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso
A Tale of Race, Sex, and Violence in America
Kali Nicole Gross
Key Selling Points
• Offers a glimpse of the racially volatile world of postReconstruction Philadelphia
• Unearths historical experiences of traditionally marginalized subjects
• Combines narrative prose with rigorous historical research, similar to works such as
Erik Larson's The Devil in White City
Summary
Shortly after a dismembered torso was discovered by a pond outside Philadelphia in
1887, investigators homed in on two suspects: Hannah Mary Tabbs, a married, working
class, black woman, and George Wilson, a former neighbor that Tabbs implicated after
her arrest.

As details surrounding the shocking case emerged, both the crime and ensuing trial
which spanned several months were featured in the national press. The trial brought
otherwise taboo subjects such as illicit sex, adultery, and domestic violence in the black
community to public attention. At the same time, the mixed race of the victim and one
of his assailants exacerbated anxieties over the purity of whiteness in the post
Reconstruction era.

Eisenhower's Guerrillas
The Jedburghs, the Maquis, and the Liberation of France
Benjamin F. Jones
Key Selling Points
• Tells the fascinating story of the often overlooked Jedburgh teams and their role in
aiding the French resistance
• Author Benjamin Jones, who served with U.S. forces in Afghanistan, offers unique

• Explains the Jedburgh operations with an understanding of how the strategic
disconnects among leadership at the top impacted them tactically
Summary
The challenges facing General Dwight Eisenhower before the Normandy Invasion were
not merely military but political. He knew that to liberate France, and to hold it, the
Allies needed local help, which would necessitate coordinating with the highly
independent French resistance groups known collective as the maquis. The Allies'
objective was to push the Germans out of France. The French objective, one the other
hand, was a France free of all foreign armies, including the Allies. President Roosevelt
refused to give full support to Charles de Gaulle, whom he mistrusted, and declined to
supply the timing, location, and other key details of Operation Overlord to his Free
9780199942084
French government. Eisenhower's hands were tied. He needed to involve the French,
0199942080 but without also involving them in operational planning.

Vagrant Nation
Police Power, Constitutional Change, and the Making of the 1960s
Risa Goluboff
Key Selling Points
• Looks at the legal history of this tumultuous time from the perspective of how
overturning one narrow set of laws vagrancy laws contributed to a blossoming of
societal changes
• Examines the culture wars of the 1960s from an analytical, legal angle
• Traces the history of vagrancy laws and what resulted from their overturning
Summary
Prior to the 1950s, it was remarkably easy for police to arrest people for a wide variety
of activities performed in the streets. Throughout the country, vagrancy laws were far
reaching and pervasive. Yet by the end of the 1960s, streets across America hosted
both massive political protests and a cultural revolution that reshaped not only the
nation's public spaces, but more broadly its public life. For the era or against it, virtually
all agreed that America after the 1960s was starkly different than before it. What
happened?

In Vagrant Nation, Risa Goluboff provides a truly groundbreaking explanation of the
9780199768448
transformation. Focusing on Court decisions that loosened vagrancy laws and opened up
0199768447 the streets to Americans in all their variety, she shows how legal change helped fuel

The vagrancy laws were that were on the books virtually everywhere in the 1950s
Status:UNSPECIFIED
served as a catchall device for police forces intent on establishing public order; you
could be arrested for everything from causing a disturbance to behaving in a way
contrary to the normfraternizing with a member of another race, for example, or
publically preaching nonmainstream beliefs like communism. Given the very fluid
interpretation of vagrancy, police inevitably abused it to the point where they could
arrest almost any "nonconforming" person. Once the Supreme Court began invalidating
these laws, it opened up public space to any manner of dissenter or nonconformist:
hippies, war protestors, civil rights activists, interracial couples, gays, and, of course,
vagrantsall the people occupying spaces previously offlimits to them.

Goluboff's account is not just a investigation of the relationship between law and social
change, however. It is also a groundup historyfrom Skid Row to the Supreme Courtof
the culture wars between the New Left and New Right. The results of these battles are
abundantly evident today in both positive wayslike the increased openness to all in
America's public spacesand negative waysespecially the explosion of homelessness
afterward. In sum, she shows that major societal changes can result not only from big
waves, but from seeming ripples too.

The Catholic Enlightenment
The Forgotten History of a Global Movement
Ulrich L. Lehner
Key Selling Points
• Tells the forgotten story of openminded Catholics during the Enlightenment who
fought for ideals commonly thought of today as being strictly opposed by Catholics
• Offers a global perspective on Catholic reformers in the eighteenth century
• Makes a case for extending the era of the Catholic counterreformation to the 18th
century
Summary
"Whoever needs an act of faith to elucidate an event that can be explained by reason is
a fool, and unworthy of reasonable thought." This line, spoken by the notorious 18th
century libertine Giacomo Casanova, illustrates a deeply entrenched perception of
religion, as prevalent today as it was hundreds of years ago. It is the sentiment behind
the narrative that Catholic beliefs were incompatible with the Enlightenment ideals.
Catholics, many claim, are superstitious and traditional, opposed to democracy and
gender equality, and hostile to science. It may come as a surprise, then, to learn that
Casanova himself was a Catholic. In The Catholic Enlightenment, Ulrich Lehner points to
such figures as representatives of a longoverlooked thread of a reformminded
9780190232917
Catholicism, which engaged Enlightenment ideals with as much fervor and intellectual
0190232919 gravity as anyone. Their story opens new pathways for understanding how faith and

Lehner begins two hundred years before the Enlightenment, when the Protestant
Hardcover
Reformation destroyed the hegemony Catholicism had enjoyed for centuries. During this
264 Pages time the Catholic Church instituted several reforms, such as better education for
Religion / Christianity pastors, more liberal ideas about the roles of women, and an emphasis on human
REL010000
freedom as a critical feature of theology. These actions formed the foundation of the
6.1 in | 9.3 in
Enlightenment's belief in individual freedom. While giants like Spinoza, Locke, and
Status:UNSPECIFIED
Voltaire became some of the most influential voices of the time, Catholic Enlighteners
were right alongside them. They denounced fanaticism, superstition, and prejudice as
irreconcilable with the Enlightenment agenda.

In 1789, the French Revolution dealt a devastating blow to their cause, disillusioning
many Catholics against the idea of modernization. Popes accumulated ever more power
and the Catholic Enlightenment was snuffed out. It was not until the Second Vatican
Council in 1962 that questions of Catholicism's compatibility with modernity would be
broached again.

Ulrich Lehner tells, for the first time, the forgotten story of these reformminded
Catholics. As Pope Francis pushes the boundaries of Catholicism even further, and
Catholics once again grapple with these questions, this book will prove to be required
reading.

Selected as a Financial Times Best Book of 2013

In Strategy: A History, Sir Lawrence Freedman, one of the world's leading authorities on
war and international politics, captures the vast history of strategic thinking, in a
consistently engaging and insightful account of how strategy came to pervade every
Oxford University Press aspect of our lives.

Freedman demonstrates that the inherent unpredictability of this environmentsubject
to chance events, the efforts of opponents, the missteps of friendsprovides strategy
with its challenge and its drama. Armies or corporations or nations rarely move from one
predictable state of affairs to another, but instead feel their way through a series of
states, each one not quite what was anticipated, requiring a reappraisal of the original
strategy, including its ultimate objective. Thus the picture of strategy that emerges in
this book is one that is fluid and flexible, governed by the starting point, not the end
point.

A brilliant overview of the most prominent strategic theories in history, from David's use
of deception against Goliath, to the modern use of game theory in economics, this
masterful volume sums up a lifetime of reflection on strategy.

Quotes

"[Freedman's] books manage to delight the experts yet are still comprehensible to the
general reader, a rare skill in this genre. On this occasion, he has produced what is
arguably the best book ever written on strategy." Washington Post
"Magisterial... wideranging erudition and densely packed argument." The Economist
"This is a book of startling scope, erudition and, more than anything, wisdom."
Financial Times
"Comprehensive, vigorous survey of strategy and its evolution...A lucid text that raises
questions while answering othersof great value to planners, whether of an advertising
campaign or a military one." Kirkus Reviews
"Sir Lawrence Freedman's 750page magnum opus, Strategy: A History, is encyclopedic,
although not alphabetical, a pleasure to dip into here and there...There are grand
strategies set forth in several of the greater works covered by Freedman, but Strategy:
A History holds the reader to the strategic level, a subset of grand strategy." New
Criterion
"Strategy: A History is easily the most ambitious book that I have read in many years...
With a book of this scope anybody can find something to disagree with but nobody can
come away from this book without feeling enriched and intellectually challenged. It will
live on as a classic. " Mark Stout, War on the Rocks
"Strategy: A History, is an ambitious and sprawling book by a British military historian
who has written widely, and very well, about nuclear and cold war strategy, the
Falklands War, and contemporary military affairs, among other subjects... With admirable
candor, Freedman tells us that he received the contract for this book in (gulp!) 1994,
and that he made a 'number of false starts' with the manuscript. Considering the
daunting scope of the subject, this is entirely understandable. Considering the wisdom
and analytical brilliance he brings to bear on that subject, it's been well worth the wait."
The Daily Beast
"Tour de force... Unusually thoughtful and clearly written, Freedman's dense tome is a
serious academic study in political theory, but it has crossover potential and will attract
readers interested in military planning, strategic systems, and the nature of power."
Publishers Weekly starred review
"A vast exploration of strategy... full of surprises, and marked by unsurpassed erudition.
It also is witty and reminds us that he in the world who knows most about strategy may
be the one who is the most unimpressed with it."National Review
"An erudite, encyclopedic study that will surely become a standard reference in the
discipline." strategy + business
"A fascinating review of the tools available to all of us to create agile, informed and
interesting decisions." Sheridan Jobbins, the World Economic Forum blog
"Lawrence Freedman shows here why he is justly renowned as one of the world's leading
thinkers about strategy, which he defines as the central art of getting more out of a
situation than the starting balance of power would suggest." Joseph S. Nye, Jr.,
Harvard University and author of The Future of Power
"A marvelous grand tour of the meaning, implications, and consequences of strategic
thinking through the ages and in multiple contexts. Freedman is a master of the subject
and unsurpassed in his ability to unravel the twists and turns of strategic complexities
and paradoxes." Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics,
Columbia University
"This is a wonderful booka comprehensive yet deeply considered summation of the
very nature of strategy by the premier social scientist of the subject. Strategy: A
History is lucid and dispassionate, sometimes rueful, often ironic, always informative."
Philip Bobbitt, author of The Shield of Achilles: War, Peace and the Course of History
"This substantial, comprehensive, hermeneutic work examines the various dimensions
and history of "strategy," which Freedman defines as "the art of creating power"...this
very ambitious exploration provides readers with a useful introduction to the field of
strategic studies." CHOICE

Thieves of Book Row
New York's Most Notorious Rare Book Ring and the Man Who Stopped It
Travis McDade
Key Selling Points
• Riveting account of the worst book theft ring in American history
• Explains how Edgar Allan Poe's book became the most valuable rare book in America
although the author died penniless
• Reveals the early development of special investigation in research libraries
• Written by a rarebook curator and expert on book theft
Summary
No one had ever tried a caper like this before. The goods were kept in a secure room
under constant scrutiny, deep inside a crowded building with guards at the exits. The
team picked for the job included two old hands known only as Paul and Swede, but all
depended on a fresh face, a kid from Pinetown, North Carolina. In the Depression, some
fellows were willing to try anything even a heist in the rare book room of the New
York Public Library.

In Thieves of Book Row, Travis McDade tells the gripping tale of the worst booktheft
ring in American history, and the intrepid detective who brought it down. Author of The
9780190239718 Book Thief and a curator of rare books, McDade transforms painstaking research into a

Quotes

"Thieves is an engaging catandmouse account of porous libraries, scouts armed with
'gall, confidence, and oversized coats,' complicit salesmen and of G. William Bergquist,
the dogged New York Public Library investigator who cracked the gang's most audacious
caper: the theft in 1931 of first editions of The Scarlet Letter, MobyDick and a rare
Edgar Allan Poe collection."New York Times
"McDade does a superb job of drawing a complete picture of the environment in which
the Romm Gang operated. McDade makes a smart choice to spin his tale around the
mostly forgotten individuals who participated in a widespread scheme to steal library
books." Los Angeles Times
"McDade's account is a betterinformed account of [thief Harry] Gold than those in
other sometimes mistyeyed and less hardnosed portraits of Book Row. By
concentrating on just a few men, McDade not only avoids many pitfalls in writing about
the trade more generally, but also manages to bring this tale chronologically to a
conclusion. It is not a very satisfactory conclusion, for this book raises larger questions:
pointing a moral as well as adorning a tale."Times Literary Supplement
"Definitive history... a fantastically colorful cast of characters and rich period detail will
hook book lovers and historians of N.Y.C"Publishers Weekly
"A compelling history. Rich in characterization and vividly set, this tale of Manhattan's
Fourth Avenue, known then as 'Book Row,' and its bookleggers makes for grand reading."
Library Journal
"With wit, erudition, and a nice sense of timing, McDade recreates the seamy side of
the antiquarian book business in Depressionera New York and Boston. This immensely
engaging story will appeal to cultural historians, literary scholars, bibliophiles, and true
crime lovers alike."Joan Shelley Rubin, Professor of History, University of Rochester
and author of Songs of Ourselves: The Uses of Poetry in America

"Thieves of Book Row chronicles a fascinating chapter in the history of the book trade,
libraries, and organized crime. In a highly engaging narrative, McDade provides a
wonderful portrait of books stolen and recovered and of many colorful characters
ranging from rare book legends to petty thieves."Thomas Hyry, Director of Special
Collections, UCLA Library

Summary
Paul McCartney and John Lennon described him as the Beatles' "favorite group," he won
Grammy awards, wrote and recorded hit songs, and yet no figure in popular music is as
much of a paradox, or as underrated, as Harry Nilsson.

In this first ever fulllength biography, Alyn Shipton traces Nilsson's life from his Brooklyn
childhood to his Los Angeles adolescence and his gradual emergence as a uniquely
talented singersongwriter. With interviews from friends, family, and associates, and
material drawn from an unfinished autobiography, Shipton probes beneath the enigma to

Consciousness and the Social Brain
Michael Graziano
Key Selling Points
• Proposes a radical new theory of consciousness
• Offers a specific scientific answer to a problem long thought insoluble
• Addresses both lay readers and the scientific community
• Covers controversial issues including religion, animal consciousness, and artificial
intelligence
Summary
What is consciousness and how can a brain, a mere collection of neurons, create it? In
Consciousness and the Social Brain, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano lays out
an audacious new theory to account for the deepest mystery of them all. The human
brain has evolved a complex circuitry that allows it to be socially intelligent. This social
machinery has only just begun to be studied in detail. One function of this circuitry is to
attribute awareness to others: to compute that person Y is aware of thing X. In
Graziano's theory, the machinery that attributes awareness to others also attributes it
to oneself. Damage that machinery and you disrupt your own awareness. Graziano
discusses the science, the evidence, the philosophy, and the surprising implications of
this new theory. Now in an affordable paperback edition!

the lay reader, healthcare professionals will find this a remarkable teaching tool for
novices in the field as well as patients and their families. This book is a MUST for a

"Kathy Costello, Ben Thrower, and Barbara Giesser, have produced a book for people
with MS, which is about the facts, nothing but the facts. This book allows the reader to
get started on the right path and navigate the current MS map to live a more fulfilling
life despite the diagnosis. It is well written and will convert a nonmedically trained
person to one with fluency about MS. Managing MS is about disease management,
symptom management, and person (psychological) management. The authors have hit
on each and have explained the use of pharmacological (drug) therapies, rehabilitative
therapies, and psychological, mental health therapies with a dash of practical financial
management. This is an essential resource for those interested in multiple sclerosis for

Roosevelt's Second Act
The Election of 1940 and the Politics of War
Richard Moe
Key Selling Points
• Very little has been written in depth about this period, and especially the 1940
election
• Author Richard Moe served as Chief of Staff to Vice Prresident Walter Mondale and

• Based on meticulous research that unearthed material which has been virtually ignored
by previous historians
Summary
"In Roosevelt's Second Act Richard Moe has shown in superb fashion that what might
seem to have been an inevitable decision of comparatively little interest was far from
it."
David McCullough

On August 31, 1939, nearing the end of his second and presumably final term in office,
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was working in the Oval Office and contemplating
construction of his presidential library and planning retirement. The next day German
tanks had crossed the Polish border; Britain and France had declared war. Overnight the

Status:UNSPECIFIED the center of the political stage.

Moe offers a brilliant depiction of the duality that was FDR: the bold, perceptive,
prescient and moral statesman who set lofty and principled goals, and the sometimes
cautious, ambitious, arrogant and manipulative politician in pursuit of them. Immersive,
insightful and written with an insider's understanding of the presidency, this book
challenges and illuminates our understanding of FDR and this pivotal moment in American
history.
Contributor Bio

Richard Moe was president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation from 1993
2010, chief of staff to Vice President Walter Mondale, and served on President Jimmy
Carter's senior staff. His books include The Last Full Measure: The Life and Death of the
First Minnesota Volunteers and Changing Places: Rebuilding Community in the Age of
Sprawl. He lives in Washington, D.C. and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Quotes

"In Roosevelt's Second Act Richard Moe has shown in superb fashion that what might
seem to have been an inevitable decision of comparatively little interest was far from it.
But then what could possibly be predictable or uninteresting about such a famously
unfathomable protagonist? And what a cast of characters! Moe's long, personal
experience in Washington politics, combined with his marked skill as an historian, make
this a consistently illuminating reminder that history is above all human, and seldom
more so than behind the scenes at a turning point of such importance. " David
McCullough

"Richard Moe's excellent book reminds us of what great leadership looks like. His
beautifully written account of FDR's run for a third term and America's decisive move
toward involvement in World War II will stand as the definitive study of this landmark
election and a turning point in the country's history." Robert Dallek

"Trying to understand and explain the complexities of Franklin D. Roosevelt's mind is a
daunting task for any historian. Richard Moe is clearly up to the challenge in his
fascinating, revelatory account of FDR's fateful decision to run for a third term in 1940,
in the midst of the greatest crisis the world has ever faced. Filled with drama and
excitement, Roosevelt's Second Act is particularly compelling in its depiction of how two
women Eleanor Roosevelt and Frances Perkins rescued the president from a
political fiasco that could have irrevocably altered history." Lynne Olson, author of
Citizens of London and Those Angry Days

"A carefully focused and researched analysis that adds considerably to the historical
record." Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Roosevelt's Second Act tells the story of a weary president's fateful decision to heed
the call of duty in our nation's and the world's most perilous hour. Richard Moe's
take on an epic tale is deftlycrafted, persuasive in analyzing people and power, and
highly relevant to the struggles of our own era; a superb work of living history."
Madeleine
Albright
"Most accounts of the Age of Franklin Delano Roosevelt halt with the erosion of the New
Deal in 1938 and then lurch forward after Pearl Harbor in 1941. One moment the reader
is immersed in Harry Hopkins, the next in Winston Churchill three years later. In this
lively, fastpaced tale of the 1940 campaign when FDR sought to break the taboo
against serving more than two terms, Richard Moe invites his readers to reflect on a
seminal year when the two periods merged. That year, he shows lucidly, America
crossed the divide from isolation to irrevocable international commitment, and magnified
the authority of the president, then and ever more, in his new role as commanderin
chief of the most powerful empire on earth." William E. Leuchtenburg, author of In the
Shadow of FDR: From Harry Truman to Barack Obama
"[Roosevelt's Second Act] tells us as much about the American system of politics as any
book I've ever read . . . [a] masterful account of why and how FDR overcame his
reluctance to seek reelection." Huffington Post

"[A] compelling read. Roosevelt's Second Act: The Election of 1940 and the Politics of
War is a superbly reconstructed chronology of the 1940 campaign." Washington

Roadshow!
The Fall of Film Musicals in the 1960s
Matthew Kennedy
Key Selling Points
• A brilliant and colorful history of the downfall of the American musical
• Offers an inside account of the making of lavish musicals in the late 1960s and early
1970s, from stars to cost overruns
• Situates the musical and the roadshowan eventbased promotional programin the
decade's revolutionary cultural changes
Summary
Fullpage newspaper ads announced the date. Reserved seats went on sale at premium
prices. Audience members dressed up and arrived early to peruse the program during the
overture that preceded the curtain's rise. And when the show began, it wasa rather
disappointing film musical.

In Roadshow!, film historian Matthew Kennedy tells the fascinating story of the downfall
of the bigscreen musical in the late 1960s. It is a tale of revolutionary cultural change,
business transformation, and artistic missteps, all of which led to the obsolescence of
the roadshow, a marketing extravaganza designed to make a movie opening in a regional
Oxford University Press city seem like a Broadway premier. Ironically, the Hollywood musical suffered from

musicals seemed outdated to baby boomers who grew up with the Cuban missile crisis,

From Julie Andrews to Barbra Streisand, from Fred Astaire to Rock Hudson, Roadshow!
offers a brilliant, gripping history of film musicals and their changing place in our culture.
Contributor Bio

Matthew Kennedy is a writer, film historian, and anthropologist. His books include three
biographies of classic Hollywood figures: Marie Dressler, Edmund Goulding's Dark
Victory, and Joan Blondell. He lives in San Francisco.
Quotes

"Everyone who loves the films of Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, and Gene Kelly wonders
what happened to movie musicals after the 1960s. Roadshow! is an extensively
researched and engagingly written account of the demise of musical film during those
decades of tumultuous cultural upheaval." Philip Furia, coauthor of The Songs of
Hollywood
"High of budget and misplaced of ambition, roadshow musicals define an arrestingand
quite troublingmoment in the history of film. With meticulous research and a suitably
critical eye, Matthew Kennedy details the plunge from feast to famine, from bounty to
bankruptcy, from The Sound of Music to Song of Norway." Richard Barrios, author of A
Song in the Dark: The Birth of Musical Film
"Matthew Kennedy has written a colorful, entertaining and wellresearched history of
the Hollywood musical's greatest moment of crisis. This book helps to fill an important
gap in our understanding of the postwar American film industry." Sheldon Hall, Senior
Lecturer in Stage and Screen, Sheffield Hallam University
"Hugely entertaining...the author's research is impeccable, his story fascinating and his
writing lively." Booklist

"In Matthew Kennedy's zesty, detailed investigation...we see one of America's most vital
art forms implode so badly that it all but dies out...Yet the book does not read as a
funeral. Mr. Kennedy writes with a sense of humor, opening up the bizarre backstage of
these events." Ethan Mordden, The Wall Street Journal

"'What were they thinking' is the subtext of virtually every page in Matthew Kennedy's
informative history of the Hollywood roadshow...Kennedy's wincingly detailed chronicle
of outof control spending and egos makes it clear that many of the musicals he
focuses on deserved to die, but he doesn't think the roadshow itself deserved to go
with them." Wendy Smith, The Washington Post

"Film historian Kennedy, in an erudite yet fetchingly entertaining style, traces the
demise of ostentatious budgetbusting Hollywood musicals...Kennedy juxtaposes the
overthetop theatricality and artifice inherent in these productions with the tumultuous
societal and artistically discordant developments in the late Sixties EL some of the
numerous stories, quotes, and anecdotes he excavates from production records and
archives are priceless." Library Journal

"It's compulsively readable candy for movie buffs...It is with considerable relish, flashes
of dry wit, deadon personal opinion, wellplaced ironic asides, and impressively
extensive research that Kennedy details the presumed aesthetic qualities and the
production histories of all these movies." John Karr, Bay Area Reporter

"It's a hilarious, gossipy, but ultimately serious look at how the humongously successful
musicals of 196465 caused Hollywood to lose its mind." Jim Farber, New York Daily
News

"Roadshow! recalls an important but forgotten piece of movie history, and it is also
packed with juicy gossip involving the personalities who worked on the mega
musicals...Kennedy mixes exhaustive research with sharp analytical skills for a very
tasty read." Joe Myers, Connecticut Media Group

"Much more than an entertaining foray into the rise and fall of a distinctly American art
form, Roadshow! is an insightful and often discerning look at who we once were and
how our values, priorities and tastes evolved during the turbulent decade of the 1960s.
Indeed, social commentary is infused throughout the book in a way that brings the
historical significance of musicals into sharp focus...Roadshow! provides a complete
course in the cultural transformation that took place during this revolutionary period in
our nation's history." Aaron W. Hughey, Bowling Green Daily News

"Kennedy engages readers throughout with his charming storytelling." The Gay and
Lesbian Review

In 1963, when South Africa's apartheid government charged Nelson Mandela with
planning its overthrow, most observers feared that he would be sentenced to death.
But the support he and his fellow activists in the African National Congress received
during his trial not only saved his life, but also enabled him to save his country.

In Saving Nelson Mandela, South African law expert Kenneth S. Broun recreates the
trial, called the "Rivonia" Trial after the Johannesburg suburb where police seized

Quotes

"An astonishing tale of the defendants' personal courage...Tactics, skill, strategy,
diplomacy and legal maneuver pervade Saving Nelson Mandela. Still, bold, breathtaking

world history." Kirkus Reviews
"Kenneth Broun does justice indeed to one of the most celebrated political trials of the
20th century...the result is not only a gripping story but a work of profound scholarship,
sensitivity, and empathy." Mark Gevisser, author of A Legacy of Liberation

Contributor Bio

Steven Pinker is Johnstone Family Professor in the Department of Psychology at
Harvard University. He conducts research on language and cognition, writes for
publications such as the New York Times, Time and The New Republic, and is the author
of eight books, including The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, Words and Rules,
The Blank Slate, The Stuff of Thought, and, most recently, The Better Angels of Our
Nature: Why Violence Has Declined.
Quotes

"Pinker is a star, and the world of science is lucky to have him."
Richard Dawkins, The Times Literary Supplement, 2002

"Steven Pinker is among the best synthesizers in the cognitive sciences. He is unique in
the breadth of his interests and the depth of his knowledge. To top it off, his elegant
and witty writings speak equally to specialists and to literate individuals everywhere."
Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard University

"Pinker is an intellectual giant in the field, one of the most important psychologists and
thinkers in our day. This compilation is outstanding, a fitting crown on his career so far,
although I suspect he has much more to contribute. Even though I'd read a handful of
these papers before, there were some that I was unaware of that are gems. Even those
I'd read before, I reread, and got even more on the second reading."
David Buss, author of Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind

"With wit and acumen, Pinker introduces us to some of his most important scientific
contributions. These glimpses into the development of these foundational articles and of
course the articles themselves will be of great interest to academics and to his many
fans beyond the walls of academia."
David C. Geary, author of Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Difference

"Pinker is a rarity among academic psychologists not only as a stylish writer, but also as
a
profound thinker with an ability to grasp the major issues of human nature and human
evolution. Language, Cognition, and Human Nature: Selected Articles is as good an
introduction as any into the range and depth of his thinking and will have general appeal
beyond an academic readership." Michael Corballis, PsycCRITIQUES

Key Selling Points
• The full story of the AngloAmerican intelligence relationship now told for the first
time
• Takes the story from the beginnings of the relationship during World War One, through
to the new realities of the post9/11 world
• Based on indepth interviews with an unrivalled range of intelligence officials from the
USA, the UK, France, and other EU countries
• Looks not just at the history of the 'special intelligence relationship' between the two
countries, but also at the options that face them in the 21st century
Summary
In Spies We Trust reveals the full story of the AngloAmerican intelligence relationship
ranging from the deceits of World War I to the mendacities of 9/11 for the first time.

Why did we ever start trusting spies? It all started a hundred years ago. First we put
our faith in them to help win wars, then we turned against the bloodshed and expense,
and asked our spies instead to deliver peace and security. By the end of World War II,
Britain and America were cooperating effectively to that end. At its peak in the 1940s

So which way do we look now? And what are the alternatives to the BritishAmerican

work portrays the history of the world's foremost republic through the prism of its
international interactions. Striking is the emergence, through Herring's clear and
compelling storytelling, of certain themes in the way the United States has conducted
and still conducts itself among nations...Highly recommended for both public and
academic libraries."Library Journal
"A magisterial look at 232 years of diplomacy."Reviews in American History
"Magisterial."National Interest
"A mammoth volume that tracks the vagaries of American foreign policy over more than
two centuries. It is encyclopedic in its reach, but remains a pleasurable read. Herring's
goal is more to explain than judge, and he performs the former with admirable skill."
Global Research
"George Herring's colossal history of US foreign relations has earned fullydeserved
praise for its staggering erudition, lucid prose and brisk style."The National
"Impeccably written and deeply researched."The Veteran: The Official Voice of
Vietnam Veterans of America
"Riveting."The Post and Courier
"The purpose of this ambitious and massive work is to track and explain how 13
separate, vulnerable British colonies evolved to carve out a position of dominance in
world affairs. This is the latest volume in the Oxford History of the United States
series...Herring effectively dismisses the myth of American isolationism. Even before our
Revolution, Americans had strong economic ties with several European powers, and our
diplomatic efforts were essential in facilitating the westward movement. Herring also
deftly deals with the oftenconflicting strains of idealism and pragmatism that have
motivated our policy makers. Patient and wellinformed general readers will find this well
worth the effort."Booklist
"In this splendidly detailed account, George Herring expertly guides us through the rich
and fascinating story of America's foreign relations. This is history on a grand scale,
clearly and elegantly rendered. Anyone who wants to understand how the United States
has come to occupy its current place on the world stage should read this magisterial
book."Fredrik Logevall, coauthor of A People and a Nation
"Readers of his work knew that George Herring's review of U.S. foreign policy would be
scrupulously fairminded but may not have anticipated so broad a sweep and so deeply
felt an analysis. In swift and highly readable prose, Professor Herring explains us
unforgettably to ourselves."A. J. Langguth, author of Our Vietnam
"Authored by a distinguished historian of American foreign policy, this is a landmark work
in its scope, clarity of writing, depth of research, and significant interpretations of,
among others, the 'myth' of historic American isolationism, the revealing relationships
between how Americans behave at home and how they behave abroad, a most
bittersweet Cold War, and the centurieslong dependence of Americans on beliefs in
their supposed exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny. It offers a most rewarding lesson
about how the history of U.S. foreign policy is to be examined, if not always, given the
policy's often tragic results, praised."Walter LaFeber, Cornell University
"George Herring's wellpaced, readable, and uptodate history of U.S. foreign relations
will be the authoritative account for this generation."Emily S. Rosenberg, University of
California, Irvine

Marriage Markets
How Inequality is Remaking the American Family
June Carbone, Naomi Cahn
Key Selling Points
• Presents a provocative yet persuasive argument drawn from original research that ties
together sociology, economics, politics, law, and policy
• Exposes the inadequacy of common explanations for a shift in the American family
• Explains the way that the law increases fathers' rights for well off men while making it
more difficult for poorer men to have contact with their children
• Written by wellknown experts on the subject
Summary
There was a time when the phrase "American family" conjured up a single, specific
image: a breadwinner dad, a homemaker mom, and their 2.5 kids living comfortable lives
in a middleclass suburb. Today, that image has been shattered, due in part to
skyrocketing divorce rates, single parenthood, and increased outofwedlock births. But
whether it is conservatives bewailing the wages of moral decline and women's liberation,
or progressives celebrating the result of women's greater freedom and changing sexual
mores, most Americans fail to identify the root factor driving the changes: economic
inequality that is remaking the American family along class lines.

profoundly changed marriage markets, the way men and women match up when they
search for a life partner. It has produced a larger group of highincome men than
women; written off the men at the bottom because of chronic unemployment,
incarceration, and substance abuse; and left a larger group of women with a smaller
group of comparable men in the middle. The failure to see marriage as a market affected
by supply and demand has obscured any meaningful analysis of the way that societal
changes influence culture. Only policies that redress the balance between men and
women through greater access to education, stable employment, and opportunities for
social mobility can produce a culture that encourages commitment and investment in
family life.

A rigorous and enlightening account of why American families have changed so much in
recent decades, Marriage Markets cuts through the ideological and moralistic rhetoric
that drives our current debate. It offers critically needed solutions for a problem that
will haunt America for generations to come.

Quotes

"Marriage Markets answers some of the most critical questions our society faces: what
is happening to our families and what is happening to our economy? Why is the country
growing apart economically at the same time some families are disintegrating? For those
interested in these questions, the authors provide fresh analysis, new ideas and a path
forward. This is an important book that should guide not only what we think about rising
inequality but what we do about it."Neera Tanden, President, Center for American
Progress

"A new kind of class chasm is opening in America, one defined not by money but by a
widening gap between marital haves and havenots. You can't understand where our
country is headed, the changing nature of inequality, and why poor and workingclass
kids are losing out without reading this book. It's that simple."Jonathan Rauch,
Brookings Institution

"Professors Carbone and Cahn have a knack for taking mountains of data from a wide
variety of sources, distilling it into readable text, and developing unique theories that
fit."Margaret Brinig, Fritz Duda Family Chair in Law, Notre Dame Law School

"Marriage is a political lightning rod, attracting the energy of both the left and right in
the United States, but the energy released often provides more heat than light. Without
examining marriage in the context of inequality, there is little hope of understanding
where we've been, where we're headed, and what policy and the law can do to help
those most vulnerable to the disruption, deprivation and dispossession that make life
difficult for so many American families. In providing that contextwith lucid prose and in
depth analysisCarbone and Cahn provide a rich contribution to the debate over the
past and future of marriage."Philip N. Cohen, Professor of Sociology, University of
Maryland, College Park

"A brutally realistic account of what wealth inequality has done to the American family.
Diverse social practiceshookup culture, college debt, women's economic advances
have resulted in stunningly classbased family patterns: little marriage at the bottom
and hunkydory arrangements at the top. The authors take on in concrete detail how
family law must take account of the new structures of intimate life."Carol Sanger,
Barbara Aronstein Professor of Law, Columbia Law School

"A crisp and cogent account rich with detail and utterly free of legalese of America's
failure to invest in its children." New York Times

"Marriage Markets is a book worth reading, pondering and discussing." Maggie Gallagher
"Marriage Markets is an important book for lawyers, sociologists, and anyone who cares
about families in an era of increasing inequality." Nancy Levit, University of Missouri
Kansas City School of Law, Concurring Opinions
"Along with the highly structured costbenefit analysis of marriage for different
economic groups, Carbone and Cahn present an interesting analysis of how family law
has institutionalized the realities of the 21stcentury workforce." Publishers Weekly
"Just like health, education, and seemingly every other advantage in life, a stable two
parent home has become a luxury that only the welloff can afford. The best educated
and most prosperous have the most stable families, while working class families have
seen the greatest increase in relationship instability. Why is this so? The book provides
the answer" Elm Street Books
"This is the sort of book that reminds me why I became a sociologist (now lapsed).
Carbone and Cahn, a couple of law professors, draw on a wide body of sociological
literature to explain how trends in economic inequality and changing family formation
patterns reinforce each other." Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Ed
"As June Carbone and Naomi Cahn demonstrate with exceptional rigor, clarity, and
elegance, the white picket fences of this mythical family have been swept away by a
series of economic, social, and cultural shifts that have altered the 'gender bargain' at
the core of the traditional family." Jennifer M. Silva, FDL Book Salon

Helen of Troy
Beauty, Myth, Devastation
Ruby Blondell
Key Selling Points
• Engages with the numerous representations of Helen throughout the sum of ancient
Greek literature
Summary
Ancient Greek culture is pervaded by a profound ambivalence regarding female beauty.
It is an aweinspiring, supremely desirable gift from the gods, essential to the
perpetuation of a man's name through reproduction; yet it also grants women terrifying
power over men, posing a threat inseparable from its allure. The myth of Helen is the
central site in which the ancient Greeks expressed and reworked their culture's anxieties
about erotic desire. Despite the passage of three millennia, contemporary culture
remains almost obsessively preoccupied with all the power and danger of female beauty
and sexuality that Helen still represents. Yet Helen, the embodiment of these concerns
for our purported cultural ancestors, has been little studied from this perspective. Such
issues are also central to contemporary feminist thought.

Helen of Troy engages with the ancient origins of the persistent anxiety about female
Oxford University Press beauty, focusing on this key figure from ancient Greek culture in a way that both

Teaches patients with prostate cancer and their loved ones strategies for how to live

Over 200,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year.

the changes in their lives? It's up to the individual himself, as well as family and

Dr. Roth helps patients at all stages of the disease learn the best ways to accept and
adapt to the consequences of their cancer treatment, including the physical
complications of urinary, erectile or bowel dysfunction, fatigue, hot flashes, and the
demoralizing recurrence of disease after treatment. While there are a number of good
books that touch on the diagnostic and treatment processes from beginning to end, Dr.
Roth's readable and relevant book is the first to focus on the emotional implications of
these physiological symptoms and life changes. By focusing on a specific readership
(men with prostate cancer and their loved ones) rather than a broader group, Dr. Roth
offers the most effective and tailored tools for coping with any and all aspects of the
disease.

Summary
The Statue of Libertydepicted on a roadside billboarddid not carry her customary
torch and tablet. Instead, she shielded her eyes from words that towered beside her,
words that highway drivers could not possibly avoid: "We are no longer a Christian
nation." Underneath was the name of the man who spoke them, the nation's president,
Barack Obama. He had made the original statement"Whatever we once were, we are
no longer a Christian nation, at least not just"four years earlier. Since then those
words had appeared, in one form or another, not just on billboards but in a host of other
venues, a visible symbol of America's divide over religion and politics.

Reproductive States
Global Perspectives on the Invention and Implementation of Population Policy
Rickie Solinger, Mie Nakachi
Key Selling Points
• The first volume to survey population policies from key countries on five continents
and to interweave gender politics
• Illuminates how nations crafted their own policies and practices regarding population
policy
• Provides global perspective on the issue of reproductive politics
Summary
When it comes to government's role in personal matters such as family planning, most
bristle at any interference from the State on how to exercise their reproductive rights.
China's infamous "one child" policy is a wellknown example of reproductive politics, but
history is filled with other examples of governmental population control to advance its
interests. Reproductive States is the first volume of a collection of case studies that
explores when and how some of the most populous countries in the world invented and
implemented state population policies in the 20th century.

The authors, scholars specializing in reproductive politics, survey population policies

Status:UNSPECIFIED
the Soviet Union led the charge among nations to devise strategies to control their
populations, but in different ways. The U.S. and some European countries pressed the
poor and ethnic minorities to limit reproduction. China's "one child" policy targeted all
ranks of society, while Soviet women (who already had few rights) were under
surveillance through stateplanned services such as medical care and commodity
distribution to detect pregnancy.

Interweaving biopolitics, gender studies, statecraft, and world systems, Reproductive
States offer reflections on the outcome of such policies and their legacies in our day.

Dead End
Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism
Benjamin Ross
Key Selling Points
• Brings together the history of suburbanization and urban decline & revival in a single
book for the first time, providing an unparalleled synthesis of leading crossdisciplinary
scholarship in urban history and urban planning
• Lays out the first comprehensive political strategy for the New Urbanist movement
• Analyzes sprawl as the outcome of social and political forces, not just bad planning
• A new explanation of "notinmybackyard" politics, as motivated by statusseeking
and protection of neighborhood "brand images"
• Offers a wideranging historical overview, an analysis of contemporary planning, and
suggestions for how to effect change in the modern age
Summary
More than five decades have passed since Jane Jacobs wrote her classic The Death and
Life of Great American Cities, and since a front page headline in the New York Times
read, "Cars Choking Cities as 'Urban Sprawl' Takes Over." Yet sprawl persists, and not
by mistake. It happens for a reason.

Oxford University Press As an activist and a scholar, Benjamin Ross is uniquely placed to diagnose why this is

and economic. He uses these insights to lay out a practical strategy for change, honed
256 Pages by his experience leading the largest grassroots mass transit advocacy organization in
Social Science / Sociology the United States. The problems of smart growth, sustainability, transportation, and
SOC026030 affordable housing, he argues, are intertwined and must be solved as a whole. The two
6.1 in | 9.3 in keys to creating better places to live are expansion of rail transit and a more genuinely

democratic oversight of land use.

Dead End is, ultimately, about the places where we live our lives. Both an engaging
history of suburbia and an invaluable guide for today's urbanist, it will serve as a primer
for anyone interested in how Americans actually live.

Quotes

"I've studied a lot of books on New Urbanism. Every once and a long while one of them
opens my eyes to an entirely new way of thinking. Such is Dead End." Robert
Steuteville, Better! Cities & Towns

"Ben Ross' Dead End is a highly personal account of a larger journey that we are
embarked on as a nation from sprawl to walkable communities, from anoxic, sterile
neighborhoods to vibrant, transitserved urban areas that are the wellspring of
innovation, economic development and cultural richness." John Porcari, Former Deputy
Secretary, United States Department of Transportation

"Ben Ross paints the big picture of the battle between sprawl and community from the
historic perspective, to the current conflicts to a vision of better land use process.
Always focused on the human perspective with subjects as diverse as Jane Jacobs and
Pete Seeger to Snob Zoning and Agenda 21, Dead End is an exciting, easy read."
Parris N. Glendening, President, Smart Growth America's Leadership Institute, and former
Governor of Maryland (19952003)
"This impressively researched and documented history explains the huge pressures for
maintaining a status quo that supports sprawl and is unfriendly to walkable cities. Ross
argues convincingly that rail transit is 'the political and mental key that opens the door
to urban change.'" Ross Capon, President & CEO, National Association of Railroad
Passengers
"...exceedingly readable and thoroughly engaging. This fantastic book effectively
channels the spirit of Jane Jacobs in both erudition and dedication to the life of cities in
the US. Highly recommended." CHOICE

The System Worked
How the World Stopped Another Great Depression
Daniel W. Drezner
Key Selling Points
• A controversial argument that refutes one of the most commonly accepted narratives
about the financial crisis
• Strong use of empirical evidence
• Global analysis that broadens the discussion beyond the woes of the "core nations,"
taking into account the remarkable resilience of developing nations
Summary
International institutions, from the International Monetary Fund to the International
Olympic Committee, are perceived as bastions of sclerotic mediocrity at best and
outright corruption at worst, and this perception is generally not far off the mark. In the
wake of the 2008 financial crash, Daniel W. Drezner, like so many others, looked at the
smoking ruins of the global economy and wondered why global economic governance
structure had failed so spectacularly, and what could be done to reform them in the
future. But then a funny thing happened. As he surveyed their actions in the wake of
the crash, he realized that the evidence pointed to the exact opposite conclusion:
global economic governance had succeeded.

6.1 in | 9.3 in because the Great Recession affected powerful nations whose governments managed

their own economies poorly, and because the most influential policy analysts who write
the books and articles on the crisis hail from those nations. Nevertheless, Drezner
argues, while it's true that the global economy is still fragile, these institutions survived
the "stress test" of the financial crisis, and may have even become more resilient and
valuable in the process.

Bucking the conventional wisdom about the new "GZero World," Drezner rehabilitates
the image of the muchmaligned international institutions and demolishes some of the
most dangerous myths about the financial crisis. The System Worked is a vital
contribution to our understanding of an area where the stakes could not be higher.

Quotes

"If you find yourself disagreeing with Drezner, you need to take a good hard look at
yourself and what you are doing with your life... this detailed, knowledgeable and
cogent book is required reading for everyone in the global governance field and
anyone who wants to know how, bad though things have been since the global financial
crisis, they might have been a hell of a lot worse." Alan Beattie, Financial Times
"Most analyses of the way in which countries work together to tackle international
problems conclude with scathing and often justified critiques. In this original and well
written book Daniel Drezner shows how in the recent financial crisis, 'the system
worked.' This book is full of surprising insights and important policy ideas." Moisés
Naím, Scholar, Carnegie Endowment and author of The End of Power
"Is today's global system of economic governance broken? The overwhelming consensus
among experts and pundits, writing in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, is that
it is... In this astute and sharply argued book, Daniel Drezner begs to differ. In a
detailed survey of international responses to the Great Recession, Drezner makes a
convincing case that global institutionsthe G20, IMF, WTO, and IMFactually do still
facilitate international cooperation and problem solving... Drezner does not argue that
global governance is perfect, but he nicely shows that, contrary to the pessimists,
there still is life in the liberal world order." G. John Ikenberry, Albert G. Milbank
Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University
"This new and excellent book by Daniel Drezner provides the best take on what we did
right and why the world did not fall into a global great depression." Tyler Cowen,
Marginal Revolution
"The System Worked is a smart, thoughtful, and important book that I largely disagree
with... Drezner has put forward an argument to be reckoned with, and it is more
important that the book find an audience among those who disagree with its
conclusions." Jonathan Kirsch, Boston Review
"Drezner offers a thoughtful and contemporary analysis of global governing systems and
their underlying politics." National Journal

Europe's Angry Muslims
The Revolt of The Second Generation
Robert Leiken
Summary
Bombings in London, riots in Paris, terrorists in Germany, fury over mosques, veils and
cartoonssuch headlines underscore the tensions between Muslims and their European
hosts. Did too much immigration, or too little integration, produce Muslim second
generation anger? Is that rage imported or spawned inside Europe itself? What do the
conflicts between Muslims and their European hosts portend for an America
encountering its own angry Muslims?
Europe's Angry Muslims traces the routes, expectations and destinies of immigrant
parents and the plight of their children, transporting both the general reader and
specialist from immigrants' ancestral villages to their strange newfangled enclaves in
Europe. It guides readers through Islamic nomenclature, chronicles the motive force of
the Islamist narrative, offers them lively portraits of jihadists (a convict, a convert, and
a community organizer) takes them inside radical mosques and into the minds of suicide
bombers. The author interviews former radicals and security agents, examines court
records and the sermons of radical imams and draws on a lifetime of personal experience
with militant movements to present an account of the explosive fusion of Muslim
immigration, Islamist grievance and secondgeneration alienation.

After surviving the fifth century fall of the Western European Roman Empire, the

Mountains: A Very Short Introduction
Martin Price
Key Selling Points
• Looks at both the regional and global effects of mountains on climate and ecosystems
• Considers the value of mountains to humanity, as centres of biological and cultural
diversity, religious sanctuaries, sources of food, timber, and medicines, and major
centres for tourism
• Discusses the impact of climate change on mountains, and considers how this affects
the people who rely on mountains for their livelihood or culture
worldwide
Summary
Mountains cover a quarter of the Earth's land surface and are home to about 12 percent
of the global population. They are the sources of all the world's major rivers, affect
regional weather patterns, provide centres of biological and cultural diversity, hold
deposits of minerals, and provide both active and contemplative recreation. Yet
mountains are also significantly affected by climate change; as melting and retreating
glaciers show. Given the manifold goods and services which mountains provide to the
world, such changes are of global importance.

Enlightenment: A Very Short Introduction
John Robertson
Key Selling Points

movement
• Emphasises the geographical reach of the Enlightenment, while doing justice to the
central role of French thinkers
• Places the Enlightenment in its eighteenthcentury context

Summary
A foundational moment in the history of modern European thought, the Enlightenment
continues to be a reference point for philosophers, scholars and opinionformers. To
many it remains the inspiration of our commitments to the betterment of the human
condition. To others, it represents the elevation of one set of European values to the
world, many of whose peoples have quite different values. But what is the relationship
between the historical Enlightenment and the idea of 'Enlightenment', and can these
two understandings be reconciled?
9780199591787 In this Very Short Introduction, John Robertson offers a concise historical introduction
0199591784 to the Enlightenment as an intellectual movement of eighteenthcentury Europe.

Light: A Very Short Introduction
Ian A. Walmsley
Key Selling Points
• Covers the physics of light, its historical development and significance, and its
applications in modern science
• Introduces the vast array of modern optical technologies, from longdistance
communications, to DVD and CD readers and writers, to surgical tools
• Looks at exciting new developments using quantum light sources and 'optical

worldwide
Summary
Light enables us to see the world around us. Our sense of sight provides us with direct
information about space and time, the physical arrangement of the world, and how it
changes. This almost universal shared sensation of vision has led to a fascination with
the nature and properties of light across the ages. But the light we see is just a small
part of the whole spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to
gamma rays.

In this Very Short Introduction Ian Walmsley discusses early attempts to explain light,
9780199682690 and the development of apparently opposing particulate and wave theories by scientists
0199682690 such as Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens. He shows how light was recognized as

Summary
Proving to be both varied and fascinating, moons are far more common than planets in
our Solar System. Our own Moon has had a profound influence on Earth, not only
through tidal effects, but even on the behaviour of some marine animals. Many
remarkable things have been discovered about the moons of the giant outer planets
from Voyager, Galileo, Cassini, and other spacecraft. Scientists have glimpsed volcanic
activity on Io, found oceans of water on Titan, and captured photos of icy geysers
bursting from Enceladus. It looks likely that microbial life beyond the Earth may be
discovered on a moon rather than a planet.

Why Spy?
On the Art of Intelligence
Brian Stewart, Samantha Newbury
Key Selling Points
• Public interest in spying is endless
• Author Brian Stewart draws on 70 years of experience in the world of intelligence,
including during the Vietnam War
• Case studies include Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, Bay of Pigs, and Iraq
• As the nature of intelligence gathering in the modern world is thrown into tumult, the
value of traditional 'spying' is being questioned
• This book makes a compelling case for traditional espionage
Summary
Why Spy? is the result of Brian Stewart's seventy years of working in, and studying the
uses and abuses of, intelligence in the real world. Few books currently available to
those involved either as professionals or students in this area have been written by
someone like the present author, who has practical experience both of field work and of
the intelligence bureaucracy at home and abroad. It relates successes and failures via
case studies, and draws conclusions that should be pondered by all those concerned
with the limitations and usefulness of the intelligence product, as well as with how to

avoid the tendency to abuse or ignore it when its conclusions do not fit with

Brian Stewart, MC, CMG, went from Oxford into the Black Watch and studied Chinese
during the preCommunist turmoil. His career in the Malayan Civil Service and during
later postings in Asia, including in Hanoi during the Vietnam War, was frequently
concerned with intelligence in the field and his subsequent position as Secretary of the
Joint Intelligence Committee in the Cabinet Office gave him a bird's eye view of the
intelligence bureaucracy both in Britain and the United States. He continued to work in
Asia, mostly in China, after leaving government service and to follow developments in
the intelligence world with a critical eye. Samantha Newbery is Lecturer in
Contemporary Intelligence Studies, University of Salford.
Quotes

"Brian Stewart's musings on his long career in intelligencerelated work ably aided by
the researcher Samantha Newbery have the aroma of a good whisky, welldistilled. ...
Stewart takes a historical and philosophical perspective, rightly emphasising that 'good
assessment is the key to good intelligence' and regretfully observing that 'it has been
well said that customers sometimes use intelligence as a drunk uses a lamp post: for
support, not illumination.' ... His book reads like an extended ambassadorial valedictory,
as they used to be and is all the better for it." The Spectator
"[F]ascinating ... [Why Spy's] four parts are divided into 13 short chapters, which are in
fact concise essays on all aspects of spying. The chapters on types of intelligence, how
intelligence is (or should be) assessed and deception operations are riveting, full of
illuminating detail." The Scotsman

The Audacious Ascetic
What the Bin Laden Tapes Reveal About AlQa'ida
Flagg Miller
Key Selling Points
• First book to explore Bin Laden's extraordinary sound archive
• Argues that much of the received wisdom about alQa'ida's early years has to be
reconsidered in light of this new evidence.
• Includes coverage of over a dozen previously never before seen speeches by Bin
Laden
Summary
In late 2002, over 1500 audiotapes were discovered in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in a
house once occupied by Osama bin Laden. The Audacious Ascetic is the first book to
explore this extraordinary archive. It details how Islamic cultural, legal, theological and
linguistic vocabularies shaped militants' understandings of alQa'ida, and, more
controversially, challenges the notion that the group's original adversary was America
and the 'far enemy'. Miller argues that Western security agencies' 'management' of Bin
Laden's growing reputation went awry. When magnified through global media coverage,
narratives of alQa'ida's coherence were exploited by Osama and his militant supporters
for their own ends.

Flagg Miller is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of California, Davis. Trained
as a linguistic anthropologist, his first book, The Moral Resonance of Arab Media: Audio
cassette Poetry and Culture in Yemen, examined how Yemenis have used traditional
poetry and new media technologies to envision a productive relationship between
tribalism and progressive Muslim reform.
Quotes

"With daunting thoroughness, Miller reviews bin Laden's biography, underscoring his
adherence to the Islamic reform movement that supported insurgencies in authoritarian
regimes within the Muslim world . . . bizarrely compelling." Kirkus Reviews
"This is a truly magnificent work. Flagg Miller's knowledge in Arabic is unrivalled, as is
demonstrated brilliantly in every chapter of book. In fact, The Audacious Ascetic almost
brings Bin Laden back from the dead. The reader will feel as though he or she is listening
in real time to the audio tapes that may have shaped Bin Laden into the jihadi leader
that we now know. In addition Miller analyses, from a new perspective, some of Bin
Laden's early and almost forgotten speeches which gave a clear picture his aims
and strategy. Highly recommended." Camille Tawil, author of Brothers in Arms: Al
Qa'ida and the Arab Jihadists
"Flagg Miller is a rare specialist on the Modern Middle East. I know of no other linguistic
anthropologist of the Middle East who combines interests in Arabic poetics with Islamic
political discourse and relates both to media and mobilisation in the Arab/Muslim world,
and especially to Yemen. The Audacious Ascetic is his most extraordinary book to date,
exceptional in the range and depth of its analysis of Osama bin Laden as a modern day
ascetic. It should be an outrageous success in framing a figure who remains as murky as
he is legendary in the saga of Islamic terrorism." Bruce Lawrence, Nancy and Jeffrey
Marcus Humanities Professor of Religion, Duke University, and author of Who is Allah?
"Original, detailed and important. The Audacious Ascetic captures the complex fifteen
year discourse between Bin Laden and his audiences about global jihad. Flagg Miller has
mined an impressive array of Osama Bin Laden's 1980s and 1990s speeches and
conversations, demonstrating the durability of the ideology appropriated in building Al
Qa'ida and Bin Laden's singleminded focus on jihad against the United States. It is an
essential text for those wishing to understand AlQa'ida's historic essence and its
continuing global relevance." Thomas F. Lynch III, Distinguished Research Fellow,
Institute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University

Crimea
A History
Neil Kent
Key Selling Points
• This history of the Crimea is essential reading for all those who have been perplexed
by what lies behind Russia's recent annexation of the Black Sea peninsula.
• Concise history of Crimea from its origins
• At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Crimea has a fascinating history that resonates
to this day
Summary
In 2014 Crimea shapes the headlines much as it did some 160 years ago, when the
Crimean War pitted Britain, France and Turkey against Russia. Yet few books have been
published on the history of the peninsula. For many readers, Crimea seems as remote
today as it was when colonized by the ancient Greeks.

Neil Kent's book recounts the history of the Crimea over three millennia. A crossroads
between Europe and Asia, ships sailed to and from Crimean ports, forming a bridge that
carried merchandise and transmitted ideas and innovations.

Hurst Greeks, Scythians, Tartars, Russians, Armenians and Genoese are among those who

Quotes

"At last, an approachable and informative book about Genoa, one of the world's great

"Part lively history, part personal travelogue, Nicholas Walton writes with gusto of this

extraordinary past populated by pirates, adventurers and eccentrics, its landscapes, its
buildings, inhabitants, food and culture. This book's an invitation to go there straight
away.' Roger Crowley, author of City of Fortune: How Venice Won and Lost a Naval
Empire.
"A spirited evocation of Genoa medieval and modern, a city of agile businessmen,
talented navigators and citizens with their eyes open to the world, but also a port with
its fair share of pirates, pimps and profiteers. Genoa,'La Superba' is not just a very
pleasurable read it also uncovers a city of beguiling beauty and genuine importance in
the history of Europe, the Mediterranean and the world whose role has far too long been
overshadowed by that of its great rival, Venice." David Abulafia, Professor of

Who Can Afford to Improvise?
James Baldwin and Black Music, the Lyric and the Listeners
Ed Pavlic
Key Selling Points
• First sustained analysis of Baldwin's work in relation to African American musical forms.
• Author worked extensively from private archives of Baldwin's letters and unpublished
writings.
Based on unprecedented access to private correspondence, unpublished manuscripts
and attuned to a musically inclined poet's skill in close listening, Who Can Afford to
Improvise? retraces the full arc of James Baldwin's passage across the pages and
stages of his career amplifying our sense of his contemporary relevance.
Summary
More than a quartercentury after his death, James Baldwin remains an unparalleled
figure in American literature and African American cultural politics. In Who Can Afford to
Improvise? Ed Pavlic offers an unconventional, lyrical, and accessible meditation on the
life, writings, and legacy of James Baldwin and their relationship to the lyric tradition in
black music, from gospel and blues to jazz and R&B. Based on unprecedented access to
private correspondence and unpublished manuscripts and attuned to a musically inclined
poet's skill in close listening, Who Can Afford to Improvise? frames a new narrative of

methods were closely related to his developing worldview. It concludes with the first
Status:UNSPECIFIED detailed account of "The Hallelujah Chorus," a performance from July 1, 1973, in which
Baldwin shared the stage at Carnegie Hall with Ray Charles. Finally, in Book III, Pavlic
reverses our musically inflected reconsideration of Baldwin's voice, projecting it into the
contemporary moment and reading its impact on everything from the music of Amy
Winehouse, to the street performances of Turf Feinz, and the fire of racial
oppression and militarization against black Americans in the twentyfirst century.

Always with an ear close to the music, and avoiding the safe box of celebration, Who
Can Afford to Improvise? enables a new kind of "lyrical travel" with the instructive
clarity and the openended mystery Baldwin's work invokes into the world.

Quotes

"In Who Can Afford to Improvise?, Ed Pavlic unearths James Baldwin's epic songone
shaped and honed by sacred and popular music. This rumination of intricate details
celebrates Baldwin's vision of democratic conscience. Pavlic gives us a fleshandblood
subject formed through a lyrical determinism of deep feeling. Through turn of thought
and juxtaposition of historical and personal evidence, he embraces Baldwin's need for
justice and truth."Yusef Komunyakaa
"A brilliant and original study of Baldwin as the ultimate bluesman." David Ritz, author
of Respect: The Life of Aretha Franklin

"Pavlic offers the most extensive engagement to date with Baldwin's lifelong love affair
with black music, but he also provides the most sustained and compelling account of
how Baldwin's work speaks (or sings) to our present global condition."Emily Lordi,
author of Black Resonance: Iconic Women Singers and African American Literature

he shows the exquisite ways that James Baldwin's words both heard the music and was
the music itself."Mark Anthony Neal, Looking for Leroy: Illegible Black Masculinities
"Who Can Afford to Improvise is a tour de force from one of our premier Baldwin
scholars. Ed Pavlic's brilliantly insightful meditation on black music and culture and
Baldwin's centrality to that tradition is a mustread."Peniel E. Joseph, author of Dark

The Routes Not Taken
A Trip Through New York City's Unbuilt Subway System
Joseph B. Raskin
Key Selling Points
• New York City has one of the world's biggest subway systems. However, on several
occasions, it looked like it would be even larger. One of the most interesting chapters in
its history is the story of the tunnels and stations that were actually built for lines that
were never completed.
• Even before the first lines opened, there had been demands to expand the subway
system. This resulted in a series of proposals for construction of new lines or expansion
of existing ones. The story of the unbuilt lines is as interesting as the story of those
completed.
• Using research from libraries, historical societies, and transit agencies throughout the
New York metropolitan area, Raskin gives a fascinating history of NYC unbuilt subway
lines that has been a tantalizing story for public transit experts over the years. Now this
story can be told to a wider audience including transit buffs, lovers of NYC history, and
anyone intrigued by urban planning and design.
Delves deep into the underbelly of the NYC subway system to reveal the tunnels and
stations that might have been.

Robert A. Van Wyck, mayor of the greater city of New York, broke ground for the first
336 Pages subway line by City Hall on March 24, 1900. It took four years, six months, and twenty

stories behind the unbuilt or unfinished subway lines, shedding light on a significant

part of New York City's history that has been almost completely ignored until now.
Status:UNSPECIFIED

Home to one of the world's largest subway systems, New York City made constant
efforts to expand its underground labyrinth, efforts that were often met with
unexpected obstacles: financial shortfalls, clashing agendas of mayors and borough
presidents, battles with local community groups, and much more. After discovering a
copy of the 1929 subway expansion map, author Joseph Raskin began his own
investigation into the city's underbelly. Using research from libraries, historical
societies, and transit agencies throughout the New York metropolitan area, Raskin
provides a fascinating history of the Big Apple's unfinished business that until now has
been only tantalizing stories retold by publictransit experts.

The Routes Not Taken sheds light on the tunnels and stations that were completed for
lines that were never fulfilled: the efforts to expand the Hudson tubes into a fullfledged
subway; the Flushing line, and why it never made it past Flushing; a platform
underneath Brooklyn's Nevins Street station that has remained unused for more than a
century; and the 2nd Avenue line long the symbol of dashed dreams deferred countless
times since the original plans were presented in 1929. Raskin also reveals the figures
and personalities involved, including why Fiorello LaGuardia could not grasp the
importance of subway lines and why Robert Moses found them to be old and boring. By
focusing on the unbuilt lines, Raskin illustrates how the existing subway system is
actually a Herculean feat of countless political compromises.

Filled with illustrations of the extravagant expansion plans, The Routes Not Taken
provides an enduring contribution to the transportation history of New York City.

Quotes

"This is an extraordinary and magisterial book, the product of years of diligent research
on a topic that has been almost completely ignored, but one central to the
understanding of the evolution of New York City in the twentieth century."Peter
Eisenstadt
"The New York subway is a source of basic mobility in the world's greatest city, but
there remains much to be learned about why it came to be and how it functions. Raskin
has given us a book that places all of our factual and historical narratives in a much
larger context what might have been, what could have been, and, perhaps, what should
have been." Brian J. Cudahy, A Century of Subways: Celebrating 100 Years of New
York's Underground Railways
"The Routes Not Taken is a fascinating look at what did not happen with the New York
City subway system and why. Joseph Raskin provides detailed accounts of why several
subway lines that have been long needed and desired such as one in the northeast
Bronx and one across Queens and Brooklyn never got built. The stories are full of twists
and turns as politicians, business interests, civic groups, transit advisors and engineers
all argue over which line is needed, what the specifics of its route should be, and even
if it should be done ahead of another line. The Routes Not Taken is engrossing but
ultimately dispiriting. One comes away from reading Mr. Raskin's book with a sense of
awe that New York City has a subway system of any kind and extent given the
numerous competing forces that have cancelled each other out in the past." Paul
Shaw, Author of Helvetica and the New York City Subway System: The True (Maybe)
Story
" provide[s] an insightful look at the whatmighthavebeens of urban mass transit. The
first subway, the IRT from City Hall to West 145th Street, was built in four and a half
years. That pace has rarely been equaled in the century since. Consider that the
Second Avenue subway, the first segment of which is to open in 2016, was envisioned
in 1929. Why were certain lines elevated and later demolished instead of buried? Mr.
Raskin, the assistant director of government and community relations for New York City
Transit, dusts off old blueprints of lines that were never built or never completed,
explaining how the system shaped urban development and how political and economic
forces conspired to create today's subway lines covering all five boroughs and provided
for a city with a population even bigger than today's." Sam Roberts, The New York
Times
"Joseph Raskin has opened a big can of worms with this book. He brings to light the
massive number of subway lines that were planned throughout the area but stayed just
that; plans and nothing more." Ink New York
"Using research from libraries, historical societies, and transit agencies throughout the
New York metropolitan area, Raskin provides a fascinating history of the Big Apple's
unfinished business that until now has been only tantalizing stories retold by public
transit experts." Western Queens Gazette, Jason D. Antos
"In presenting lively...case studies of what he regards as the most important unbuilt
lines, Mr. Raskin encourages his readers to think about the adaptable nature of the
city."WSJ Book Review
""Apart from sheer enjoyment, this book underscores how radically decisions about
transit shape property values, commerce, neighborhoods, and people."Highly

Pure Act
The Uncommon Life of Robert Lax
Michael N. McGregor
Key Selling Points
• Both Robert Lax and Thomas Merton were born in 1915. There will be many
celebrations of Merton's centennial year in 201415, making this an ideal time to bring
out a book about his best friend and fellow centenarian.
• Robert Lax was an influential writer and inspirational spiritual figure in his own right.
And he lived a fascinating life. Unmoored by traditional conventions, he roamed
restlessly for decadesworking for The New Yorker and Time, writing scripts in
Hollywood, editing a literary journal in Paris, and even traveling with a circus in Canada
before settling on a remote Greek island, where the community and the culture inspired
him to live and write in his own way.
An illuminating biography of the minimalist poet Robert Lax, a man who embraced
simplicity, humility, and poverty and found the pure joy, peace and love he had long
sought.

An illuminating biography of the minimalist poet Robert Lax, a man who embraced
simplicity, humility, and poverty and found the pure joy, peace and love he had long
sought.

Pure Act tells the story of poet Robert Lax, whose quest to live a true life as both an
artist and a spiritual seeker inspired Thomas Merton, Jack Kerouac, William
Maxwell and a host of other writers, artists and ordinary people. Known in the U.S.
primarily as Merton's best friend and in Europe as a daringly original avantgarde poet,
Lax left behind a promising New York writing career to travel with a circus, live among
immigrants in postwar Marseilles and settle on a series of remote Greek islands where
he learned and recorded the simple wisdom of the local people. Born a Jew, he became
a Catholic and found the authentic community he sought in Greek Orthodox fishermen
and sponge divers.

In his early life, as he alternated working at the New Yorker, writing screenplays in
Hollywood and editing a Paris literary journal with studying philosophy, serving the poor
in Harlem and living in a sanctuary high in the French Alps, Lax pursued an approach to
life he called pure acta way of living in the moment that was both spontaneous and
practiced, Godinspired and selfchosen. By devoting himself to simplicity, poverty
and prayer, he expanded his capacity for peace, joy and love while producing
distinctive poetry of such stark beauty critics called him "one of America's greatest
experimental poets" and "one of the new 'saints' of the avantgarde."

Written by a writer who met Lax in Greece when he was a young seeker himself and
visited him regularly over fifteen years, Pure Act is an intimate look at an extraordinary
but littleknown life. Much more than just a biography, it's a tale of adventure, an
exploration of friendship, an anthology of wisdom, and a testament to the
liberating power of living an uncommon life.

Contemplative Poems of Robert Lax
"A thoroughly researched and compassionate look at the remarkable life of Robert Lax.
Those who know him only as a close friend of Thomas Merton will be delighted with the
person they find in these pages: an influential poet, a voice for peace, a wanderer and
seeker after truth. Many sought Lax out at his Patmos home; McGregor has made his
wisdom available to all."Kathleen Norris
"With grace and insight, McGregor bears witness to the evolution of a great artist who
is seamlessly connected to his art."Jim Forest, author of Loving Our Enemies:
Reflections on the Hardest Commandment
"Tender, thorough, meticulous, an act of fine and generous and wonderfully sharpeyed

Chasing Ghosts
A Memoir of a Father, Gone to War
Louise DeSalvo
Key Selling Points
• DeSalvo is a unique scholar and beloved author because of her range of interests and
influence and the richness and diversity of the body of work she has produced during
the last few decades.
• She is the author of the riveting memoir Vertigo (1996), a truly groundbreaking work
that shed light on how Italian Americans can grapple with the question of unspoken
memories and forgotten histories. Reprinted by The Feminist Press and translated into
Italian by Nutrimenti, it has influenced pretty much every Italian American memoir that
has been written since then. It is also one of the most widely taught Italian American
books.
Chasing Ghosts is a gripping narrative about a daughter's quest to achieve reconciliation
with her father during the last years of his life when he finally broke his silence about his
military experience before and during World War II.

Status:UNSPECIFIED
As DeSalvo and her father uncover his past piece by piece, bit by bit, she learns about
the dreams of a workingclass man who entered the military in the late 1930s
during peacetime to better himself, a man who wanted to become a pilot. She learns
about what it was like for him to participate in war games in the Pacific prior to the war,
and the war's devastating toll. She learns about what it was like for her parents to fall
in love, set up house, marry, and have children during this cataclysmic time. And as the
pieces of her father's life fall into place as DeSalvo works to piece together the puzzle
of everything she's learned about this time, she finds herself finally able to understand
him.

Chasing Ghosts is an original contribution to the understanding of workingclass
World War II veterans who did not conventionally distinguish themselves
through "heroic" actions and whose lives were not until recently considered worthy of
historical or cultural attention. It personalizes the history of those sailors who served in
the Navy aboard aircraft carriers and on islands in the Pacific prior to and during World
War II and contributes to the current vital conversation about the oftenunrecognized
effects of war and its traumas upon those men and their families. It reveals the
lifelong devastating consequences of military service on those men and women
who fell in love, married, and set up house. And it reveals the complexity of what it is
like to be the daughter of a father who has gone to war.

Theory at Yale
The Strange Case of Deconstruction in America
Marc Redfield
Key Selling Points
• This is the first booklength history of the Yale School of literary criticism, the crucial
gateway through which European theory entered the United States in the 1970s and
1980s.
• The Yale Schooltraditionally identified as Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, J. Hillis
Miller, and Harold Bloom, with the parttime addition of Jacques Derridawas the single
most important force in American literary studies for two decades, and its ramifications
continue to be felt though subsequent generations of those critics' students and
readers.
• The book documents the transformation of Harold Bloom from one of the Yale School's
founding voices into one of theory's leading skeptics.
• In addition to filling in historical and biographical information, Redfield is a brilliant critic
himself. He writes lucidly about such matters as the central role Romanticism played in
the rise of Theory in America, the ways de Man's critical methods attract biographical
criticism, and the relation of the new Yale critics to their New Critical predecessors.

Combining a broad account of the "Yale Critics" phenomenon with a series of careful
reexaminations of the event of theory, Redfield traces the threat posed by
language's unreliability and inhumanity in chapters on lyric, on Hartman's representation
of the Wordsworthian imagination, on Bloom's early theory of influence in the 1970s
together with his later media reinvention as the genius of the Western Canon, and on
John Guillory's influential attempt to interpret de Manian theory as a symptom of
literature's increasing marginality. A final chapter examines Mark Tansey's paintings
"Derrida Queries de Man" and "Constructing the Grand Canyon", works that offer subtle,
complex reflections on the peculiar event of theory asdeconstruction in
America.

Quotes

"Was the Yale School a media creation? Marc Redfield here offers us both a shrewd

Intoxication
JeanLuc Nancy, Philip Armstrong
Key Selling Points
• A charming little book that ties together philosophically the range of experiences we
have of intoxication, ranging from drunkenness to exhilaration.
• Nancy is at his best when explicating common modes of our existence for a broad
audience, as he does here.
• Nancy experiments with intoxication at the level of prose, in a virtuoso style that
often imitates actual drunkenness. The prose is carefully shaped but sometimes extends
into an exhilaratory play of meaning afforded by language and by translation across
languages.
Philosophy holds an ambivalent relation to the pleasures of intoxication, this excess that
both fascinates and questions philosophy's sober ambitions for conceptual clarity and
appropriate behavior. Displacing established dualitiesmind and body, reason and desire,
logic and erosNancy's subject becomes intoxicated: Ego sum, ego existo ebriusI am, I
existdrunk.

Euripedes to Nietzsche, philosophy holds a deeply ambivalent relation to the
Fordham University Press pleasures of intoxication. At the same time, from Baudelaire to Lowry, from Proust to
9780823267736 Dostoyevsky, literature and poetry are also haunted by scenes of intoxication, as if

Quotes

"The originality of Intoxication lies in the acuity and patience (and indeed the touch of
humor) with which it teases out the surprising concurrence, or interaction, of two
apparently unrelated termsthat of the "Absolute" on the one hand, and that of
"ivresse" or "drunkenness" on the other."Richard A. Rand, University of Alabama
"Read Nancy's wonderfully exhilarating Intoxication and you'll understand why it is
urgent to be, like Rimbaud's boat, ivre. Make no mistake: French ivresse has little to do
with intoxication's dull thud of medical measure. Leave intoxication for breathalyzers;
ivresse is pure elation, sublimated elevation, an ecstatic Bacchic frenzy soaring to
poetic rapture, a rapture that, as Hegel stated, achieves the dizzy dissolution of all
absolutes."JeanMichel Rabaté, University of Pennsylvania

Contributor Bio

Born in 1959, Kaoru Nonomura traveled widely in Asia as a university student, and
upon graduation began to work as a designer in Tokyo. At the age of thirty, he decided
to put his career on hold to spend a year as a trainee monk at Eiheiji, a monastery
famed for its rigid discipline. Twelve months later, he returned to his design job, and it
was during his daily commute on a crowded train that he began to jot down his
recollections of his Eiheiji experience. These notes eventually became Eat Sleep Sit, the
author's only book.
Quotes

Here is an unusually fine translation of a most unusual bestseller. . . We sometimes
have the odd idea that Zen means simply sitting around until satori happens. . . . It is
much more, as novice Nonomura discovered when he joined the beginners at Eijeiji, one
of the most rigorous temples in Japan. . . . a boot camp of a place that would make
even brave marines quail. . . .Nonumura stood the strain. He stayed a year. . . . This
painful route, then, is the true Zen path. . . . Almost as painful must have been the
translation of this book with its extraordinary width of styles from the arcane Zen tracts
of Dogen and others, to the diarylike grumbles of the clueless young Nonomura. Here,
translator Juliet Carpenter not only stays the course, she defines it .here is a
particularly felicitous translation, especially in the handling of the colloquial within the
religious context. DONALD RICHIE, in The Japan Times

Summary
In this pioneering work, Shizuo Tsuji, one of the most prominent figures in Japan's
culinary world, takes all that is good about Japanese food and brings it into the home.

The book presents over 100 authentic recipes (manageable even for the novice cook)
for dishes ranging from familiar favorites like Miso Soup with Pork and Vegetables,
Yakitori, Rice Balls, Nigiri Sushi, Soba Noodles in a Basket, Sukiyaki, and Tempura to
more exoticsounding (but actually simple to prepare) fare such as Jade Green Deep
Fried Shrimp, Yellowtail Teriyaki, PaperThin Sea Bass Sashimi, SakéSimmered Lobster,
NagasakiStyle Braised Pork, Simmered Tofu Dumplings, and Turnip with GingerMiso
Sauce. Fullcolor photos showcase the finished dishes and illustrate the steps involved
in their preparation. Tsuji also explains many of the techniques used; and here, again,
detailed photos clarify the instructions. He stresses the importance of using fresh,
Feasonal, and local ingredients; and the recipes call only for ingredients that are readily
available in supermarkets and Asian grocery stores in the West.

A section on bento boxes offers a wide variety of ideas for combining the recipes in the
book into these popular, portable meal options. The Cooking Tips section includes such
basic, essential recipes as dashi; and covers topics like cleaning squid, soaking dried
shitake mushrooms, toasting and crumbling nori seaweed, and using bamboo rolling
mats. The helpful Glossary describes the main ingredients of Japanese cooking, along
with a photo of each.

Friendly, accessible, and inviting, Practical Japanese Cooking will be as eyeopening and
inspiring to today's home cooks as it was when it was originally published almost three
decades ago.

Quotes

For the original edition
"The striking photographs and creative design of this oversize cookbook stress the
physical beauty of traditional Japanese cuisine. The wonderful surprise is that the book
succeeds in making these artful effects accessible even to novices of Japanesestyle
preparation and cooking techniques. The most exoticlooking dishes, clam soup, for
example, or jade green deepfried shrimp, prove to be relatively simple to prepare.

And in a lovely preface, Tsuji (Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art) president of a
professional culinary school in Japan (where Hata is head chef), encourages newcomers
to make Japanese cookery their own, experimenting, substituting, rearranging without

of the old and the new." M.F.K. Fisher

occasions, such as the appeasement of malignant spirits, and for animals.
In this completely redesigned edition of her bestselling book, in a new and elegant

Contributor Bio

Quotes

"Enchanted Jewelry Of Egypt: The Traditional Art And Craft comes in an oversized
gorgeous hardcover with slipcase and is a top pick for any collegelevel or indepth
specialty collection focusing on either world jewelry in general or Egyptian history,
culture and the arts in particular. The author is a designer of jewelry based on
traditional motifs and covers jewelry made throughout Egypt over the last hundred
years, using her own collection and travels to supplement history and research. Both
history and jewelrymaking insights make for an outstanding survey."Midwest Review
of Books
"This wellresearched and beautifully designed book presents a detailed history of
traditional jewelry design and adornment in Egypt, with many fullpage color plates of
jewelry, both alone and being worn, including many historic photographs. The text is of
interest for its treatment of ethnography, a result of the author's travels from Nubia to
the Mediterranean researching local jewelry traditions in villages and towns. Fahmy's
roots are in Upper Egypt and she is an accomplished jeweler with training in traditional
Egyptian gold and silver metalwork."Book News
"Jewelrymaking is a subject Azza Fahmy knows well. Unlike most jewelry designers who
merely design jewelry, Fahmy can also make jewelry: she mastered the techniques and
the skills involved in their production. She was the first Egyptian woman to learn silver
smithing as an apprentice in the iconic Khan AlKhalili . . . Enchanted Jewelry of Egypt is
a delightful book to read and to look at. The text is informative and devoid of technical
verbiage. The photographs are superb, and most of the jewelry pieces come from the
author's private collection. Azza Fahmy's passion for jewelry is clear throughout the
book. And she succeeds in communicating her enthusiasm to readers."Arab News
"Fahmy's jewelry catches the spirit of Arab tradition. The pieces are inspired by
everything from the hammered silver of peasant wedding jewelry and the repetitive
patterns of Islamic architecture to symbols of Arab folklore such as wolf fangs and chili
peppers."Time Magazine

Tales from Dayrut
Short Stories
Mohamed Mustagab, Humphrey Davies
Key Selling Points
• An honest view of life in rural Upper Egypt with its poverty, superstition, vendettas,
honor killings, rumors and folklore.
• By the prizewinning translator of Al Aswany's The Yacoubian Building.
Summary
This collection of fourteen connected stories and a novella, From the Secret History of
Numan Abdel Hafez, takes us deep into Upper Egypt and the village of Dayrut alSharif,
in which Mohamed Mustagab was born. To depict a world renowned for its poverty,
ignorance, vendettas, and implacable code of honor, Mustagab deploys the black humor
and Swiftian sarcasm of the insider who knows his society only too well. When the
stillness of a day's end is shattered by a single gunshot, poignant beauty merges
seamlessly into horror, and when a police officer seeking to unravel a murder finds
himself with more body parts than he knows what to do with, violence tips as easily into
farce. In counterpoint, the author's often surrealist imagination explores the mysteries
of a landscape where seductive women haunt dusty paths and a man may find himself
crushed like a worm beneath another's foot. Elsewhere, the horizons of 'my village'

expand to include other countries (the author worked in the Arabian Peninsula for a
The American University in Cairo number of years), where equally disastrous consequences follow on folly and self
Press delusion. Previously almost unknown in English, Mustagab's voice is both original and
9789774167072

Quotes

"Mohamed Mustagab transports the reader to the strange, distinctive world of rural
Upper Egypt with its poverty, superstition, vendettas, honor killings, rumors and folklore.
In his vigorous translation, Humphrey Davies captures Mustagab's rollicking style and
vivid descriptive powers."Saudi Gazette
"The real beauty in Mustagab's writing is a man looking back on the characters and
environs of his childhood in the town of Dayrut, the stories are some times edging into
the surreal and at times have a real dark satire element, the area he is talking about is
a place rich in spirit and beliefs. This gives a great view of an area of Egypt I didn't
know anything about. As ever Humphrey Davies does a wonderful job on translation but
what else would you expect from the prizewinning translator."Winstonsdad's Blog:

Key Selling Points
• A concise and absorbing survey of the significant rulers of Ancient Egypt, both known
and obscure.
• A heavily revised and rewritten edition incorporating two further decades of research

Summary
This book presents a concise account of the lives and times of some of the more
significant occupants of the Egyptian throne, from the unification of the country around
3000 BC down to the extinction of native rule just under three millennia later. Some,
such as Thutmose III, had a major impact on their time, and were remembered by their
own people until the very civilization collapsed. Others, such as Tutankhamun, were
soon forgotten by the Egyptians themselves, only to burst into popular culture
thousands of years after their deaths, as a result of the labors of modern

archaeologists. Still more remain unknown outside the small circle of professional

Summary
For centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople in AD 330, Istanbul served
as the capital of three great empires: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. The city's maze
like streets and high balconies, its steep alleys, flower gardens, and forested hillsides
remain soaked in the vestiges of that imperial past, and it is to that past and to

Mohannad Sabry
Key Selling Points
• An expose of the political and security affairs of the Sinai in the aftermath of the Arab
uprisings and the 2011 downfall of the Mubarak regime, and the rise of Islamist
insurgents in the peninsula.
• A thorough and unprecedented account of the Sinai Peninsula, its Bedouin community,

Summary
The Sinai peninsula holds a unique strategic and political significance for Egypt and its
neighbors. Enclosed by the Suez Canal and bordering Gaza and Israel, Egypt's rugged
eastern province has been the cornerstone of the EgyptianIsraeli peace accords, yet
its internal politics and security have remained largely under media blackout. While the

Summary
Salman Abu Sitta, who has singlehandedly made available crucial mapping work on
Palestine, was just ten years old when he left his home near Beersheba in 1948, but as
for many Palestinians of his generation, the profound effects of that traumatic loss
would form the defining feature of his life from that moment on. In this rich and moving
memoir, Abu Sitta draws on oral histories and personal recollections to vividly evoke the
vanished world of his family and home from the late nineteenth century to the eve of
the British withdrawal from Palestine and subsequent war. Alongside accounts of an

idyllic childhood spent on his family's farm estate Abu Sitta gives a personal and very

Love Among the Archives
Writing the Lives of George Scharf, Victorian Bachelor
Helena Michie, Robyn Warhol
Key Selling Points
• An experiment in metaarchival lifewriting that has no precedent
• The only book ever written about Sir George Scharf, founding director of the National
Portrait Gallery
• Humorous account of two literary critics "romancing the archive"
• Indepth and fascinating exploration of samesex love among Victorian men within the
middle class
Summary
Part biography, part detective novel, part love story, and part meditation on archival
research, Love Among the Archives is an experiment in writing a life. This is the story of
two literary critics' attempts to track down Sir George Scharf, the founding director of
the National Portrait Gallery in London, famous in his day and strangely obscure in our
own. After discovering Scharf's scrapbook of menus and invitations from England's most
stately homes, the authors began their adventures in the archives of London, searching
Scharf's diaries, sketchbooks, and letters for traces of the man who so loved dining out.
Addicted to Victorian novels, the authors looked for a marriage plot, but found Scharf's

Quotes

Superb. Warhol and Michie's Love Among the Archives is a triumph of a book, that
reinvents academic biography and tells a compelling story of the passions and mysteries
of Victorian lives and archives. Inventive, witty and knowing, it is both an important
reflection on biographical method and a joy to read.

John Bowen, Professor of NineteenthCentury Literature, University of York

A brilliant and ambitious experiment in life writing, Love Among the Archives is a
delicious, witty, learned performance. Part scholarly detective story, part postmodern
metanarrative, part cautionary tale about the temptations, limits, rewards, frustrations,
and secret desires involved in doing archival research, it recalls both Byatt's Possession
and Symons's The Quest for Corvo.

Summary
In her third fulllength collection Blood Child, Eleanor Rees hones and extends her
startling use of language and imagery to enact the many aspects of change fleeting,
elusive or moored in a negotiation of the material world as she roams through the
landscapes of self and city. The idea of generation is explored in all its possibilities, the
'child' and the 'girl' are recurrent motifs, immanent and on the threshold of a magical or
imaginative transformation. Landscapes are crossed, swum, burrowed under or flown
above; skins and edges are sheared or lost, new coverings found and remade. Rees's
poems ask how new routes can be forged across shifting terrain and she offers the
emergent space of the imagination as the only answer.

On Eleanor Rees's previous work:
"An ambitious, experimental voice vibrantly charged with the energy of city life."Carol
Ann Duffy, British Poet Laureate

Eleanor Rees's debut collection offers up a heartfelt hymn to her native Liverpool. Her
dense, textured renderings of its landscapes are eloquent, but it is her importunate,
ambiguous relationship with the city that provides these poems with their drive. She is
at once possessor and possessed: bestriding the rooftops like a descendent of Whitman
one moment, breaking "the top from the cathedral ... oozing steam/ cream"; diminished
and vulnerable, "tarmac ... biting at my ankles", the next. [...] Such imaginative
freewheeling carries the risk of disorienting the reader, but the coherence provided by
the location gives the poems vital integrity."The Guardian
On Eleanor Rees's previous work: "Here is a poetry that relishes the chaotic and
magical; trees and plants abandon gardens and start to move down the street, humans
give birth to animals, houses come alive. Eleanor Rees's language is sensuous,
unpredictable. The materials of folktale and border ballad are never far away."The
Guardian

"Eleanor Rees's poetry is strikingly pleasing, its distinctive rhythms as insidious as
water."PN Review

On Eleanor Rees's previous work: " I love the meaty, muscularity of the poems ... I
caught the boat to Ireland from Liverpool recently and found myself remembering big
chunks of the river poem as we chugged past the harbour bar."Frank Cottrell Boyce

Summary
Mona Arshi's debut collection, Small Hands, introduces a brilliant and compelling new
voice. At the center of the book is the slow detonation of grief after her brother's death
but her work focuses on the whole variety of human experience: pleasure, hardship,
tradition, energised by language which is in turn both tender and risky. Often startling
as well as lyrical, Arshi's poems resist fixity; there is a gentle poignancy at work here
which haunt many of the poems. This is humane poetry. Arshi's is a daring, moving and
original voice.

"There is an extraordinary keenness, sharpness, poignancy and precision in Mona Arshi's
poems. They deal with loss, pleasure and the sheer particularities of life with striking
grace, constituting something like 'an erotics of the spirit', tenderly and imaginatively
taking apart and reassembling language, registering everything necessary. Time and
again she hits the perfect note. It is rare to find a first book as beautiful as this."
George Szirtes

"Deliciously varied in form and approach, tone and voice, Mona Arshi's poems display a
tantalising 'instability' each one prismatic and glittering. She opens a clear, suggestive
window onto many aspects of life and inner life, on her cultural background, for
instance, and on the tragic loss of a brother. So often one thinks, pulled up in
amazement, 'Where did that come from?' that I'm tempted to the use the word
'genius'."Moniza Alvi

Summary
A soul's journey through the night, a missing woman: time and narrative bend and
interlock across a play of poetic forms and voices to make one story of love and loss. In
And She Was Corbett combines the fictional spellmaking of Haruki Murakami, with the
filmic neonoir of Atom Egoyan (Exotica) and David Lynch (Lost Highway, Mulholland
Drive), to push the boundaries of poetic genre, asking us to renegotiate the way we
encounter and reconfigure ourselves through trauma, in desire, or as we seek to
reassemble ourselves and our past.

Contributor Bio

Sarah Corbett's first collection of poetry The Red Wardrobe (Seren, 1998) won her an
Eric Gregory Award and was shortlisted for both the T.S Eliot Prize and the Forward Best
First Collection Prize. Described as "Poetry as white knuckle ride" (Poetry Wales), The
Red Wardrobe established Corbett as one of the most daring poets of her generation,
and was made into a short film (The Red Wardrobe, dir. Gabrielle Russell, 1998). This
was followed by The Witch Bag (2002) and Other Beasts, (2008), both from Seren. A
selection of translations from the Dutch poet Mustafa Stitou can be found in Uit Het
Hoofd/By Heart (Five Leaves Press, 2006).

Born in 1970, Sarah grew up in North Wales and studied at the universities of Leeds,
East Anglia and Manchester, where she gained a PhD in Critical and Creative Writing in
2013. She currently lives in the Calder Valley and is a Lecturer in Creative Writing for
Lancaster University. She was a Royal Literary Fund Fellow in 2012.
Quotes

"A romance, a thriller, a myth, Sarah Corbett's new poem will have her readers hurrying
through its pages to find out what happens before returning more slowly to the
pleasures of her stepped, tilting stanzas and their linebyline transformations of her
characters and their places in the world. 'Step in', she writes, 'and the space unfolds /
one box opening into others'."John Mcauliffe

"'Can memory be put in a box?' asks one of the characters in Sarah Corbett's
mysterious, condensed and achingly beautiful narrative tale. This lyrical, unsettling, and
arresting poem about passion, memory and loss possesses an hallucinatory quality.
Corbett creates an extraordinary urban world where a man reaching for his past finds it
ever out of reach. The erotic writing captures the complexity of sexual connection and
'the inner silk of memory'. Corbett writes fluid and irresistible poetry, to be read, reread
and savoured."Patricia Duncker

"In this dazzling tour de force, Sarah Corbett reworks the versenovel into a
contemporary odyssey through a labyrinthine underworld where myth and the
unconscious collide. With effortless formal dexterity, her poetry is by turns mysterious,
disturbing, startling and intensely sensuous, and if a poetry book can be a page turner
then this is that book. At its heart this is a narrative of loss and redemption as deeply
humane as it is ambitious: you will want to read it in a single sitting, then reread to
savour its impeccable craft. An exciting development in contemporary narrative poetry,
and a mustread."Tiffany Atkinson

On Sarah Corbett's previous collection, The Red Wardrobe (Seren, 1998):

The Fantasy Fiction Formula
Deborah Chester
Key Selling Points
• A straightforward guide to putting a fantasy novel together, from idea development to
final revision
• Most books on fantasy writing focus on worldbuilding, whereas this guide deals with
the nuts and bolts of writing technique
• Advice and suggestions are practical and proven, not vague theory or generalisations
• Focuses on elemental story design and the way plots have been put together since
antiquity and why such design still works today
• Illustrates techniques with examples drawn from published fantasy fiction and offers
plentiful drills and exercises to help students hone their writing skills
Summary
There's more to writing a successful fantasy story than building a unique world or
inventing new magic. How exactly is a plot put together? How do you know if your idea
will support an entire novel? How do you grab reader attention and keep it? How do you
create dynamic, multidimensional characters? What is viewpoint and do you handle it
differently in urban fantasy than in traditional epics? What should you do if you're lost in
the middle? How do you make your plot end up where you intend it to go?
