<<Subtitle>> <<Author Name>> “This fast-moving journey through a century of soldiers’ heartbreak and rage at being dumped by their sweethearts reveals the psychological distance between the home front and the war theatre, but even more tellingly illuminates the eternal war between men and women.”

“Whether distraught, amused, or enraged, jilted GIs have long bonded as victims of betrayal. Susan L. Carruthers’s marvellously written new book not only explores the origin and evolution of the ‘Dear John’ letter, but illuminates the misogyny that often underlies this military brotherhood, the alleged correlation with suicide, and the impact on the writers of these infamous epistles.”

A PERSONAL JOURNEY

ALYN SHIPTON ‘THIS IS THE BACK STORY OF THE GODS WHO CREATE THE MAGIC. I LOVED IT.’ – SONNY ROLLINS

THE CA MBRIDGE CENTENARY

The 1922 Text with Essays and Notes Edited by CATHERINE FLYNN

Are “Dear John” letters lethal weapons in the hands of men at war? Many US officers, servicemen, veterans, and civilians would say yes. Drawing on personal letters, oral histories, and psychiatric reports, as well as popular music and movies, Susan L. Carruthers shows how the armed forces and civilian society have attempted to weaponize romantic love in pursuit of martial ends, from World War II to today. Yet efforts to discipline feeling have frequently failed. And women have often borne the blame. This sweeping history of emotional life in wartime explores the interplay between letter writing and storytelling, breakups and breakdowns, and between imploded intimacy and boosted camaraderie. Incorporating vivid personal experiences in a lively and engaging prose – variously tragic, comic, and everything in between – this compelling study will change the way we think about wartime relationships.

Celebrities live their lives in constant dialogue with stories about them. But when these stories are shaped by durable racist myths, they wield undue power to ruin lives and obliterate communities. Black Legend is the haunting story of an Afro-Argentine, Raúl Grigera (‘el negro Raúl’), who in the early 1900s audaciously fashioned himself into an alluring Black icon of Buenos Aires’ bohemian nightlife, only to have defamatory storytellers unmake him. In this gripping history, Paulina Alberto exposes the destructive power of racial storytelling and narrates a new history of Black Argentina and Argentine Blackness across two centuries. With the extraordinary Raúl Grigera at its center, Black Legend opens new windows into lived experiences of Blackness in a ‘white’ nation, and illuminates how Raúl’s experience of celebrity was not far removed from more ordinary experiences of racial stories in the flesh.

Paulina L. Alberto is an Argentine-born historian of Afro-Latin America, currently Professor of History, Spanish, and Portuguese at the University of Michigan. She is the author of Terms of Inclusion: Black Intellectuals in Twentieth-Century Brazil and co-editor of Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina. She won the Roberto Reis Prize for Best Book in Brazilian Studies, the Warren Dean Prize for Best Book in Brazilian History, and the James Alexander Robertson Prize for best article in the Hispanic American Historical Review.

At a glance • Tells the gripping story of Raúl Grigera, the Afro-Argentine icon of Buenos Aires’ bohemian nightlife • Brings Argentina firmly into the African Diaspora, emphasizing Black presence over absence • Centers the lives of non-elite, non-white characters in national histories • A new approach to historywriting, combining microhistory and biography with intellectual, cultural, social, literary and political history • Offers a harrowing illustration of the power of racial storytelling, and how such stories shaped lives

Advance praise ‘Alberto uses the skills of a sleuth to recover the life of Buenos Aires’s famed ‘negro Raúl’ and those of a truly gifted historian to help us think not just about Blackness in Argentina but also about the very real power of stories in the lives of individuals, communities, and nations. A fascinating, beautiful work of history.’ Ada Ferrer, New York University and author of Cuba: An American History ‘Poignant and penetrating, Black Legend is a sensitive biography of one complex man and a multilayered history of a community, city, and country all vying to script Blackness in the turbulent twentieth century. A book as much about the power of stories in political culture as the deep and shadowed racial past of Argentina, Black Legend is a stunning achievement.’ Tiya Miles, Harvard University and author of All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, a Black Family Keepsake

The Economic History of a Segregated America Peter Temin

In November 2020, The New York Times asked fifteen on its columnists to ‘explain what the past four years have cost America.’ Not one of the columnists focused on President Trump’s racism. This book seeks to redress this imbalance and bring Black Americans’ role in our economy to the forefront. While all humans were created equal, economic history in the United States tells a different story. Reconstruction lasted for only a decade, and Jim Crow laws replaced it. The Civil Rights Movement lasted through the 1960s, yet decayed under President Nixon. The United States has been declining in the Social Product Index, where it now is the lowest of the G7 and 26th in the world. For health and happiness, Temin argues that we need lasting integration efforts that allow Black Americans equal opportunity. This book convincingly integrates Black and white activities into an inclusive economic history of America.

Peter Temin is the Elisha Gray II Professor of Economics Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

As we interact online we are creating new kinds of knowledge and community. How are these communities formed? How do we know whether to trust them as sources of information? In other words, should we believe Wikipedia? This book explores what community is, what knowledge is, how the internet facilitates new kinds of community, and how knowledge is shaped through online collaboration and conversation. Along the way the author tackles issues such as how we represent ourselves online and how this shapes how we interact, why there is so much bad behavior online and what we can do about it. And the most important question of all: What can we as internet users and designers do to help the internet to bring out the best in us all?

• Explains the nature of knowledge and how it is collaboratively created on the internet, giving readers a more nuanced understanding of the crisis of truth that we face as a culture

‘This book reminds us of conversations we’re not having about online life - with family, friends, with our political representatives - because we don’t know where to start. The Internet seems so opaque, that we don’t know to get traction on our concern that it no longer serves our human needs. This welcome volume suggests entry points for designers and users - to start those necessary conversations about how to make online life serve our emotional and social purposes. Both scholarly and down-to-earth, filled with compelling examples, it is a textbook for classrooms, dinnertables, and policy discussions.’

• Applies ideas from sociology and philosophy to help readers understand how online communities are designed • Challenges both users and designers of social media and online communities to find ways to make the internet better

At a glance • Examines the development of the legal regimes of slavery and race in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana from the sixteenth century to the dawn of the Civil War • Demonstrates that the law of freedom, not slavery, determined the way race developed over time • Draws on a variety of primary sources, including local court records, original trial records of freedom suits, legislative cases, and petitions

How did Africans become ‘blacks’ in the Americas? Becoming Free, Becoming Black tells the story of enslaved and free people of color who used the law to claim freedom and citizenship for themselves and their loved ones. Their communities challenged slaveholders’ efforts to make blackness synonymous with slavery. Looking closely at three slave societies - Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana - Alejandro de la Fuente and Ariela J. Gross demonstrate that the law of freedom - not slavery - established the meaning of blackness in law. Contests over freedom determined whether and how it was possible to move from slave to free status, and whether claims to citizenship would be tied to racial identity. Laws regulating the lives and institutions of free people of color created the boundaries between black and white, the rights reserved to white people, and the degradations imposed only on black people.

Alejandro de la Fuente is the Robert Woods Bliss Professor of Latin American History and Economics, Professor of African and African American Studies, and the Director of the Afro-Latin American Research Institute at Harvard University, Massachusetts. He is the author of Diago: The Pasts of this Afro-Cuban Present (2018), Havana and the Atlantic in the Sixteenth Century (2008), and A Nation for All: Race, Inequality, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Cuba (2001).

She is the author of What Blood Won’t Tell: A History of Race on Trial in America (2008) and Double Character: Slavery and Mastery in the Antebellum Southern Courtroom (2000).

Praise ‘In this incisive and spell-binding study, Alejandro de la Fuente and Ariela Gross meticulously investigate the archives of the ‘legal regimes of slavery and race’ in the culturally disparate locations of Cuba, Louisiana, and Virginia, thus exposing the differences and similarities between Spanish, French, and English approaches to manumission and interracial relationships. In addition, the authors brilliantly focus on the bottom up efforts of the enslaved to gain freedom, thus exposing how these ‘unpredictable twists and turns’ established the meaning of blackness in law. Not only an important legal analysis, Becoming Free, Becoming Black tells many fascinating stories of heroic efforts to attain freedom through legal regimes.’ Henry Louis Gates, Jr, Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University

Boys will find answers to the questions most on their mind, the truth behind many diet and exercise myths, and real-life stories from other boys. Armed with this book, they will understand that muscles don’t make a man – it’s enough simply being you!

The Right to Repair Reclaiming the Things We Own Aaron Perzanowski

In recent decades, companies around the world have deployed an arsenal of tools-including IP law, hardware design, software restrictions, pricing strategies, and marketing messages-to prevent consumers from fixing the things they own. While this strategy has enriched companies almost beyond measure, it has taken billions of dollars out of the pockets of consumers and imposed massive environmental costs on the planet. In The Right to Repair, Aaron Perzanowski analyzes the history of repair to show how we’ve arrived at this moment, when a battle over repair is being waged-largely unnoticed-in courtrooms, legislatures, and administrative agencies. With deft, lucid prose, Perzanowski explains the opaque and complex legal landscape that surrounds the right to repair and shows readers how to fight back.

UK publication February 2022 US publication February 2022

Bob Dylan and John Lennon are two of the most iconic names in popular music. Dylan is arguably the twentieth century’s most important singer-songwriter. Lennon was founder and leader of the Beatles who remain, by some margin, the most covered songwriters in history. While Dylan erased the boundaries between pop and poetry, Lennon and his band transformed the genre’s creative potential. The parallels between the two men are striking but underexplored. This book addresses that lack. Jon Stewart discusses Dylan’s and Lennon’s relationship; their politics; their understanding of history; and their deeply held spiritual beliefs. In revealing how each artist challenged the restrictive social norms of their day, the author shows how his subjects asked profound moral questions about what it means to be human and how we should live. His book is a potent meditation and exploration of two emblematic figures whose brilliance changed Western music for a generation.

J.P. Morgan & Co. and the Crisis of Capitalism From the Wall Street Crash to World War II Martin Horn During the interwar period, J.P. Morgan was the most important bank in the world and at the crossroads of US politics, international relations and finance. In J.P. Morgan & Co. and the Crisis of Capitalism, Martin Horn brings us the first in-depth history of how J.P. Morgan responded to the greatest crisis in the history of financial capitalism, shedding new light on the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the coming of World War II. Horn shows how J.P.

Reaching Net Zero Emissions will not be the end of the climate struggle, but only the end of the beginning. For centuries thereafter, temperatures will remain elevated, climate damages will continue to accrue, and sea levels will continue to rise. Even the urgent task of reaching Net Zero cannot be achieved rapidly by emissions reductions alone. To hasten Net Zero and minimize climate damages thereafter, we will also need massive carbon removal and storage. We may even need to reduce incoming solar radiation in order to lower unacceptably high temperatures. Such unproven and potentially risky climate interventions raise mind-blowing questions of governance and ethics. Pandora’s Toolbox offers readers an accessible and authoritative introduction to both the hopes and hazards of some of humanity’s most controversial technologies, which may nevertheless provide the key to saving our world.

As a lecturer at Yale University, Wake Smith teaches a world-leading undergraduate course on climate intervention, which forms the basis for this book. Smith is also a Senior Fellow at Harvard, writing scholarly articles on costs, aeronautics, and governance of solar geoengineering. Prior to his academic career, Smith served in several executive roles in the aeronautical industry, including as the President of a division of Boeing.

RACE IN AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE

Race in American Literature and Culture

Exploring the unsteady foundations of American literary history, Race in American Literature and Culture examines the hardening of racial fault lines throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth while considering aspects of the literary and interrelated traditions that emerged from this fractured cultural landscape. A multicultural study of the influential and complex presence of race in the American imagination, the book pushes debate in exciting new directions. Offering expert explorations of how the history of race has been represented and written about, it shows in what ways those representations and writings have influenced wider American culture. Distinguished scholars from African American, Latinx, Asian American, Native American, and white American studies foreground the conflicts in question across different traditions and different modes of interpretation, and are thus able comprehensively and creatively to address in the volume how and why race has been so central to American literature as a whole.

For decades, Hong Kong has maintained precarious freedom at the edge of competing world powers. In City on the Edge, Ho-fung Hung offers a timely and engaging account of Hong Kong’s development from precolonial times to the present, with particular focus on the post 1997 handover period. Through careful analysis of vast economic data, a myriad of political events, and intricate networks of actors and ideas, Hung offers readers insight into the fraught economic, political, and social forces that led to the 2019 uprising, while situating the protests in the context of global finance and the geopolitics of the US-China rivalry. A provocative contribution to the discussion on Hong Kong’s position in today’s world, City on the Edge demonstrates that the resistance and repression of 2019-2020 does not spell the end of Hong Kong but the beginning of a long conflict with global repercussions.

Ho-fung Hung is the Henry M. and Elizabeth P. Wiesenfeld Professor in Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University.

TRAP TRAP The Infertility

Why life choices impact your fertility and why we must act now

At a glance • Presents a multi-faceted take on the decline of human fertility, incorporating social, environmental, political, medical and biological perspectives • Contains a set of unique analyses of data gleaned from public sector databases, which have never before been published, and provides insights into the breadth and depth of human fertility decline • Explains with clarity the biological features of human conception and infertility – offering an understanding of the complexities of conception and the major causes of human infertility

The Infertility Trap Why Life Choices Impact Your Fertility and Why We Must Act Now R. John Aitken A potential crisis in human fertility is brewing. As societies become more affluent, they experience changes that have a dramatic impact on reproduction. As average family sizes fall, the selection pressure for high-fertility genes decreases; exacerbated by the IVF industry which allows infertility-linked genes to pass into the next generation. Male fertility rates are low, for many reasons including genetics and exposure to environmental toxins. So, a perfect storm of factors is contriving to drive fertility rates down at unprecedented rates. If we do not recognize the reality of our situation and react accordingly, an uncontrollable decline in population numbers is likely, which we’ll be unable to reverse. This book will address, in a unique and multi-faceted way, how the consequences of modern life affects fertility, so that we can consider behavioural, social, medical and environmental changes which could reduce the severity of what is about to come.

John Aitken is the highest ranked expert on sperm biology and fertilization in the world (Expertscape). In 2019 the Australian magazine named him as Australia’s leading reproductive biologist while a recent ranking of the world’s leading scientists by Stanford University ranked him in the top 5 in Obstetrics and Reproductive Medicine. He has won several major awards in reproductive science including the Carl G Hartman Award from the Society for the Study of Reproduction (USA) and the Distinguished Andrologist Award from the American Society of Andrology.

This is a biography of Earthopolis, the only Urban Planet we know of. It is a history of how cities gave humans immense power over Earth, for good and for ill. Carl Nightingale takes readers on a sweeping six-continent, six-millennia tour of the world’s cities, culminating in the last 250 years, when we vastly accelerated our planetary realms of action, habitat, and impact, courting dangerous new consequences and opening prospects for new hope. In Earthopolis we peek into our cities’ homes, neighborhoods, streets, shops, eating houses, squares, marketplaces, religious sites, schools, universities, offices, monuments, docklands, and airports to discover connections between small spaces and the largest things we have built. The book exposes the Urban Planet’s deep inequalities of power, wealth, access to knowledge, class, race, gender, sexuality, religion and nation. It asks us to draw on the most just and democratic moments of Earthopolis’s past to rescue its future.

Carl Nightingale has taught urban history and world history for 25 years as a Professor at the University at Buffalo and the University of Massachusetts. He is Coordinator of the Global Urban History Project, a network of over 500 scholars working in this new hybrid field.

At a glance • Debunks our fantasies about Regency England and presents a compelling, gritty alternative • Uses exceptionally rich source material to present sympathetic portraits of the would-be terrorists • Gives a voice to the impoverished, disenfranchised, and cruelly exploited London underclass

On the night of 23 February 1820, twenty-five impoverished craftsmen assembled in an obscure stable in Cato Street, London, with a plan to massacre the whole British cabinet at its monthly dinner. The Cato Street Conspiracy was the most sensational of all plots aimed at the British state since Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot of 1605. It ended in betrayal, arrest, and trial, and with five conspirators publicly hanged and decapitated for treason. Their failure proved the state’s physical strength, and ended hopes of revolution for a century. Vic Gatrell explores this dramatic yet neglected event in unprecedented detail through spy reports, trial interrogations, letters, speeches, songs, maps, and images. Attending to the ‘real lives’ and habitats of the men, women, and children involved, he throws fresh light on the troubled and tragic world of Regency Britain, and on one of the most compelling and poignant episodes in British history.

Vic Gatrell is a professorial Life Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, who has taught for most of his career in the Cambridge Faculty of History. His previous books include The Hanging Tree: Execution and the English People (1997) which was awarded the Whitfield Prize of the Royal Historical Society; City of Laughter: Sex and Satire in Eighteenth-Century London (2009) which was awarded the Wolfson Prize for History and the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize; and The First Bohemians: Life and Art in London’s Golden Age (2013) which was shortlisted for the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize.

The Science and Mystique of Cannabis Timmen Cermak

Marijuana is on everyone’s mind. Why do so many people enjoy it? What is it doing in our brains? Is it safe for everyone to use? What should we be telling our children? Are the benefits of medical marijuana fact or fiction? Do CBD products live up to the hype? And with so much conflicting information out there, how do we begin to make up our own minds about cannabis? Marijuana on My Mind is for anyone who has ever wondered exactly how cannabis works. Dr Timmen Cermak has been curious about cannabis from the moment brief encounters with marijuana altered the texture of his experience. Now, utilising over 40 years of clinical experience, Dr Cermak uses science to make sense of the endless debate between advocates and opponents of cannabis, and provides answers to some of the greatest mysteries surrounding marijuana.

ALYN SHIPTON ‘THIS IS THE BACK STORY OF THE GODS WHO CREATE THE MAGIC. I LOVED IT.’ – SONNY ROLLINS

UK publication May 2022 US publication May 2022 200 Pages 9781108834230 Hardback c. £20.00 / c. $24.95 USD / c. $28.95 CAD

At a glance • A warm, affectionate and anecdotally rich narrative of the fascinating world of jazz and its musicians by the presenter of BBC Radio 3’s ‘Jazz Record Requests’ • Full of new insight into the musicians’ characters, likes and motivations, including detailed portraits of Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Abbey Lincoln and members of Duke Ellington’s band • Interviews and conversations with many influential musicians give the reader a wonderfully readable entrée to the complex development of jazz as an art form

Few musical genres inspire the passionate devotion of jazz. Its mystique goes far beyond the melodies and rhythms, with its key players and singers discussed by aficionados with a respect that borders on reverence. Some books on jazz offer little more than theory or dry facts, thereby relinquishing the ‘essence’ of the music. This book is different. One of the most influential and internationally known writers on the subject describes, through vivid personal contacts, reminiscences and zesty anecdotes, his life in jazz as a player, broadcaster and observer. Alyn Shipton recalls friendships with legendary musicians, while revealing fresh discoveries about such luminaries as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Abbey Lincoln and Geri Allen. On Jazz powerfully evokes the atmosphere of clubs and dancehalls, and takes us behind the scenes and up onto the stage, so that this electrifying world is unforgettably spotlighted as never before.

Alyn Shipton is a writer, publisher, broadcaster and jazz double bassist. He has broadcast about jazz since 1989, and currently hosts BBC Radio 3’s long-running and much loved programme Jazz Record Requests. His biographies of Dizzy Gillespie (1999) and singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson (2013) both won Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Awards for Excellence; and Nilsson also gained an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thompson Award. His New History of Jazz (2001) was the Jazz Journalists’ Association (JJA) book of the year and named ‘the most outstanding single-volume history of jazz’ by the Jazz Institute of Chicago. His most recent work, The Art of Jazz: A Visual History (2020), was described as ‘indispensible’ by Publishers Weekly. He leads the Buck Clayton Legacy Band, and is a research fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Advance praise ‘This immensely readable and compelling book describes unique encounters with the leading figures of jazz – including extensive interviews with Sonny Rollins and Oscar Peterson – from the perspective of one of the world’s leading jazz authorities. Respected by musicians, fans and academics for his encyclopaedic knowledge, Alyn Shipton is familiar to wider audiences through his prolific writing, broadcasting, bass playing and bandleading. He now offers the reader fascinating insights from his life in jazz, and vividly narrates many great stories which appear in print here for the first time.’ Catherine Tackley, Professor of Music, University of Liverpool, author of Benny Goodman’s Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert and co-author of Black British Jazz

Fragile Futures The Uncertain Economics of Disasters, Pandemics, and Climate Change Vito Tanzi This book revisits a distinction introduced in 1921 by economists Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes: that between statistically predictable future events (‘risks’) and statistically unpredictable, uncertain events (‘uncertainties’). Governments have generally ignored the latter, perceiving phenomena such as pandemics, natural disasters and climate change as uncontrollable Acts of God. As a result, there has been little if any preparation for future catastrophes. Our modern society is more interconnected and more globalized than ever. Dealing with uncertain future events requires a stronger and more globally coordinated government response. This book suggests a larger, more global government role in dealing with these disasters and keeping economic inequalities low. Major institutional changes, such as regulating the private sector for the common good and dealing with special harms, risks and crises, especially those concerning climate change and pandemics, are necessary in order to achieve any semblance of future progress for humankind.

Trish Lorenz

For the first time in human history, people aged over 65 now outnumber children under five. Yet one region in the world is bucking this trend: 19 of the world’s top 20 youngest countries by population are located in sub-Saharan Africa, and Africa’s population under 35 now equals almost a billion people. Whilst there has been much research and reportage in the West around the lives of millennials and Gen Z, little has been written on the dreams and aspirations, the fears and hopes, the needs and desires of young Africans. This vast generation of people, spread across an enormous continent, will shape not only Africa’s future but also the future of the world. Trish Lorenz speaks to the bright new entrepreneurs, artists, and activists of Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria, to understand what it means to be young in an otherwise ageing world. This book is also available Open Access.

At a glance • Captivating, inspiring humancentered narrative storytelling following three Syrian women entrepreneurs living in a refugee camp • An exploration of entrepreneurship and startups in the most extreme settings • A fresh discussion of global policy, social justice, human rights law, and economic development related to refugees, amid the largest global refugee crisis in history • The first book of a young, award-winning author, entrepreneur, and attorney at Stanford/Harvard whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from Egypt

The Untold Story of Refugee Entrepreneurs Andrew Leon Hanna

25 Million Sparks takes readers inside the Za’atari refugee camp to follow the stories of three courageous Syrian women entrepreneurs: Yasmina, a wedding shop and salon owner creating moments of celebration in Za’atari; Malak, a young artist infusing color and beauty in her adoptive community; and Asma, a social entrepreneur with a storytelling initiative enriching children’s lives throughout the camp. Anchored by these three inspiring stories, as well as accompanying artwork and poetry created by Malak and Asma, the narrative expands from the intimacies of Za’atari to explore the broader refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon in more than 20 camps, cities, and towns across the globe. What emerges is a tale of power, determination, and dignity – of lighting the brightest sparks of joy, even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness. A significant portion of this book’s proceeds is contributed to refugee entrepreneurs in Za’atari and around the world.

America’s Energy Gamble People, Economy and Planet Shanti Gamper-Rabindran

UK publication January 2022 US publication March 2022 550 Pages 9781009018012 Paperback £22.99 / $29.99 USD / $33.95 CAD

At a glance • One of the first in-depth and rigorous treatments of the energy policy implemented by the Trump administration, meeting a demand from instructors, students, policymakers, and the public for a book evaluating the administration’s lasting impact. • An accessible introduction to America’s energy and environmental pathway through the presentation of recent and reliable data and analyses. • A comprehensive account of how America’s political, economic, and legal institutions have been used to bolster oil and gas interest, and what needs to be done to rectify this and protect the environment as well as America’s economic future.

How can America get back to an energy transition that’s good for the economy and the environment? That’s the question at the heart of this eye-opening and richly informative dissection of the Trump administration’s energy policy. The policy was ardently pro-fossil fuel and ferociously anti-regulation, implemented by manipulating science and economic analysis, putting oil and gas insiders at the helm of environmental agencies, and hacking away at democratic norms that once enjoyed bipartisan support. The impacts on the nation’s health, economy, and environment were - as this book carefully demonstrates - dire. But the damage can be reversed. Ordinary Americans, civil society groups, environmental professionals, and politicians at every level all have parts to play in making sure the needed energy transition leaves no one behind. This compelling book will appeal to course instructors and students, government and industry officials, activists and journalists, and everyone concerned about the nation’s future.

Shanti Gamper-Rabindran is an associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh, with a Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.Sc. in Environmental Management and BA in Jurisprudence, both from Oxford University where she was a Rhodes scholar. She served as the August-Wilhelm Scheer Visiting Professor at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, at the Department of Environment and Climate Policy. She is the editor of The Shale Dilemma: A Global Perspective on Fracking and Shale Development (2018), which received critical acclaim.

Advance praise ‘With America’s Energy Gamble, public policy expert Shanti Gamper-Rabindran lays out a stark case that powerful oil and gas interests have, with considerable help from the outgoing Trump administration, gained control of the lever arms of our energy and environmental policy apparatus. Our economic competitiveness, the health of our environment, and the livability of our planet are all now threatened. Read this book to be informed about the threat and armed with the knowledge of what can be done in the Biden era to undo the damage and right the course.’ Michael E.

Untangling Blackness in Greek Antiquity Sarah F. Derbew

This important and timely book is the first to examine the articulations of blackness from the fifth century BCE to the twenty-first century. Sarah Derbew charts literary and artistic representations of black Egyptians, Aithiopians, Indians, and Greeks in the ancient Greek world and, in disentangling the ways that key constituents co-produce blackness, examines how authors and artists create characters, contemporary scholars analyze these personae, and readers and viewers bring their own interpretation to the fore. In addition, she probes deeply into race’s precarious grip on skin color and thereby uncovers the silences, suppression, and misappropriation of blackness within modern studies of the ancient Greek world. Shaped foundationally by performance studies and critical race theory, the book maps out an archaeology of blackness that reappraises its valence. This anti-racist study promotes a contextualized, rigorous approach to representations of black people in Greek antiquity that rejects simplistic conflations.

Sarah Derbew is an Assistant Professor of Classics in collaboration with the Center for African Studies and the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University. She was previously a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows.

At a glance • Provides an analysis of black people that is both grounded in antiquity and mindful of modernity • Enables the complex presentation of black people as Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, and Aithiopians to stand in defiant contrast to reductive generalizations • Initiates interdisciplinary conversations about blackness that renews Classics’ commitment to inclusive scholarship

Magic in Merlin’s Realm A History of Occult Politics in Britain Francis Young

Belief in magic was, until relatively recent times, widespread in Britain; yet the impact of such belief on determinative political events has frequently been overlooked. In his wide-ranging new book, Francis Young explores the role of occult traditions in the history of the island of Great Britain: Merlin’s realm. He argues that while the great magus and artificer invented by Geoffrey of Monmouth was a powerful model for a succession of actual royal magical advisers (including Roger Bacon and John Dee), monarchs nevertheless often lived in fear of hostile sorcery while at other times they even attempted magic themselves. Successive governments were simultaneously fascinated by astrology and alchemy, yet also deeply wary of the possibility of treasonous spellcraft. Whether deployed in warfare, rebellion or propaganda, occult traditions were of central importance to British history and, as the author reveals, these dark arts of magic and politics remain entangled to this day.

Francis Young holds a PhD in History from the University of Cambridge and is the author of 14 books including Magic as a Political Crime in Medieval and Early Modern England (2017). He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and routinely broadcasts for BBC radio on history, religion and folklore.

At a glance • The first book to pay concerted attention to the role of supernatural belief in political history, a topic which historians have largely overlooked • Its powerful argument that – from the Civil War of Stephen and Matilda to Brexit – the idea of magic has exercised a cultural power in Britain every bit as impressive as the supernatural capabilities claimed by the magicians themselves is striking, novel and persuasive • Young is a foremost authority on religion, esotericism and magic, the author of many books and has broadcast on BBC radio. Written with a trademark lightness of touch, the book challenges all who have marginalised the role of magic in the history of political thought

Advance praise ‘A terrific book. Francis Young is quite correct to say that no such survey has been done before, and the evidence presented by him unequivocally demonstrates that politics in pre-modern Britain cannot be fully understood without some attention to the notion and practice of magic and the occult sciences in general such as alchemy and astrology. The author has also brought together a tremendous amount of scholarship in this volume which is commendable in its own right.’ Frank Klaassen, University of Saskatchewan
