The history is divided into four parts. The first part is a comprehensive account of pre-Islamic late antiquity; the beginnings of Islam; the early Islamic empires; and Islamic religious, artistic, legal, and intellectual cultures. Part II deals with the construction in the Middle East of Islamic religious communities and states to the fifteenth century. Part III includes the history to the nineteenth century of Islamic North Africa and Spain; the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires; and other Islamic societies in Asia and Africa, situating them within their global, political, and economic contexts. Part IV accounts for the impact of European commercial and imperial domination on Islamic societies and traces the development of the modern national state system and the simultaneous Islamic revival from the early nineteenth century to the present. The informative and substantial update, balanced judgment, and clarity of presentation – which readers have come to expect of this work – ensure that it will remain a classic in the field.

Ira M. Lapidus is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Berkeley. Throughout his long and illustrious career he has published extensively. His abiding interest has been the relationships among families, tribes, religious communities, cities, and states. This is exemplified in his current work and previous publications, including Muslim Cities in the Later Middle Ages (1967, 1984); Middle Eastern Cities (edited, 1969); Contemporary Islamic Movements in Historical Perspective (1983); Islam, Politics and Social Movements (co-edited with Edmund Burke, 1988); A History of Islamic Societies (1988, 2002); and Islamic Societies to the Nineteenth Century: A Global History (2012).

“This remarkable book addresses a fundamental paradox in the history of the Atlantic World: plantation slavery retrenched and intensified even as antislavery politics scored its first great triumph. The Haitian Revolution offered the world a beacon of freedom, but it also stimulated an economic, political, and philosophical reaction, exemplified in the consolidation of slavery on an unprecedented scale in neighboring Cuba. With precision and passion, Ferrer shows how liberation and bondage made and unmade one another. Exhaustively researched and beautifully written, this is a masterwork of analytical storytelling.” – Vincent Brown, Harvard University

“Ada Ferrer treats in tandem two radically different developments that embodied the Caribbean’s experience of the Age of Revolution. Widely researched and drawing on new sources, this is a fascinating reading of two turning points in the region’s history.” – David Geggus, University of Florida

“Drawing on archival records from Cuba, Spain, and France, Ada Ferrer has crafted a brilliant work that goes far beyond comparative history. With elegant prose and telling detail, she traces the ways in which Cubans and the Africans among them reflected on the reality of slavery and the example of freedom when they looked – and sailed – across the Windward Passage to the revolutionary society of Saint-Domingue/Haiti. This splendid book allows us to listen to and watch the soldiers, planters, runaways, and sojourners who made that crossing, or heard from those who had, and then tried to shape their own situation in the light of transformative new knowledge.” – Rebecca J. Scott, University of Michigan

This third edition of Ira M. Lapidus’s classic A History of Islamic Societies has been substantially revised to incorporate the new scholarship and insights of the last twenty-five years. Lapidus’s history explores the beginnings and transformations of Islamic civilizations in the Middle East and details Islam’s worldwide diffusion to Africa; Spain; Turkey and the Balkans; Central, South, and Southeast Asia; and North America. The book has been updated to include historical developments in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The narrative is unified by its focus on the organization of primary communities, religious groups and states, and the institutions and cultures that define them.

World history

World history The Cambridge World History General Editor Merry Wiesner-Hanks

The Cambridge World History is an authoritative new overview of the dynamic field of world history. It covers the whole of human history, not simply history since the development of written records, in an expanded time frame that represents the latest thinking in world and global history. With over two hundred essays, it is the most comprehensive account yet of the human past, and it draws on a broad international pool of leading academics from a wide range of scholarly disciplines. Reflecting the increasing awareness that world history can be examined through many different approaches and at varying geographic and chronological scales, each volume offers regional, topical, and comparative essays alongside case studies that provide depth of coverage to go with the breadth of vision that is the distinguishing characteristic of world history.

Climate Change and the Course of Global History A Rough Journey John L. Brooke Ohio State University

Climate Change and the Course of Global History presents the first global study by a historian to fully integrate the earth-system approach of the new climate science with the material history of humanity. Starting with the role of environmental change in biological and human evolution, the book uses the results of three decades of climate science to present a new understanding of human history. ‘Think of this as travel writing of the highest order. A rough journey for mankind becomes a stimulating armchair adventure for the reader.

World history This is big history, framed by big ideas but anchored in the very recent explosion of knowledge about climate through the ages and about our history and prehistory. Brooke skillfully navigates the interpretive hazards of proxy paleoclimate data. In Brooke’s persuasive account, our evolution to modernity is not absolutely determined by climate and disease, but it has been substantially influenced by them. Our new knowledge shows that quite often these influences abruptly change course, and Brooke shows that much of our history is a consequence of societies scrambling to adjust.’ Mark A. Cane, G. Unger Vetlesen Professor of Earth and Climate Sciences, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University

The Cambridge History of Christianity This series offers a comprehensive chronological account of the development of Christianity in all its aspects – theological, intellectual, social, political, regional, global – from its beginnings to the present day. Each volume makes a substantial contribution in its own right to the scholarship of its period and the complete History constitutes a major work of academic reference. Far from being merely a

history of Western European Christianity and its offshoots, the History aims to provide a global perspective. Eastern and Coptic Christianity are given full consideration from the early period onwards, and later, African, Far Eastern, New World, South Asian and other nonEuropean developments in Christianity receive proper coverage. The volumes cover popular piety and non-formal expressions of Christian faith and treat the sociology of Christian formation, worship and devotion in a broad cultural context. The question of relations between Christianity and other major faiths is also kept in sight throughout. Contributors: Frances M.

History of Britain after 1450 Descendancy Irish Protestant Histories since 1795 David Fitzpatrick Trinity College, Dublin

This is a compelling account of Protestant loss of power and selfconfidence in Ireland since 1795. David Fitzpatrick examines the social and political ramifications of religious affiliation and belief as practised in fraternities, church congregations, and isolated sub-communities and illustrates how individuals experienced and perceived ‘descendancy’. ‘Historians sometimes explain the governance of eighteenth-century Ireland using the term Protestant Ascendancy. This compelling and accessible new book by David Fitzpatrick charts the decline in Protestant power afterwards, beginning in 1795 when the Orange Order formed. This was no uniform plunge into powerlessness. By exploring different facets of Protestantism, Fitzpatrick expertly reveals the dimensions of descent.’ Allan Blackstock, University of Ulster 2014 228 x 152 mm 286pp 9 b/w illus. 21 tables 978-1-107-08093-5 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00

The Reformation of the English Parish Church Robert Whiting University of York St John

This richly illustrated account is the first full-scale investigation of the dramatic changes experienced by the English parish church during the English Reformation. Drawing on a wealth of documentary evidence, Robert Whiting reveals how, why and by whom these ancient buildings were transformed. ‘We can stand back and marvel at the scope of the author’s achievement … Now we discover what Dr Whiting has spent the past 12 years doing: acquiring an amazingly detailed knowledge of England’s parish churches, and of how they changed between 1530 and 1640, so that he can read the story of the Reformation as it was inscribed in those churches’ fabric … This is a book which will be enjoyed most as a box of treasures, a guide to the marvels still hidden away in England’s parish churches … As a guide to what survives, to what was lost, and why, this book has no rival.’ Alec Ryrie, The Tablet

20C history of Britain In Search of the New Woman Middle Class Women and Work in Britain, 1870–1914 Gillian Sutherland University of Cambridge

The ‘New Women’ of late nineteenthcentury Britain were seen as defying conventions. Studying this phenomenon from its origins in the 1870s to the outbreak of the Great War, Gillian Sutherland examines whether women really had the economic freedom to challenge social norms relating to work, political action, love and marriage. Advance praise: ‘Gillian Sutherland looks beyond the much-discussed, much-caricatured New Woman of the 1890s – dashing, daring, and scandalously experimental – to the real women of the period, and turns up the truth that most female agents of change then were clerks and especially schoolteachers. Both cultural historians and general readers will be fascinated by the stories told here, and persuaded that the media hype of periods long before our own should also be viewed with skepticism.’ Rachel M.

Early republic and antebellum history The Founders and the Idea of a National University Constituting the American Mind George Thomas Claremont McKenna College, California

This book examines the ideas of the Founders with regard to establishing a national university. It offers the first study on the idea of a national university and how the Founders understood it as an important feature in an educational system that would sustain the American experiment in democracy. Advance praise: ‘George Thomas exposes the error of two widely held views about the American founding fathers: that they were committed chiefly to a set of decisional procedures, not to a specific way of life, and that they thought ‘checks and balances’ would secure good government without the need to cultivate a competent and public-spirited leadership community. This well-written book is a major contribution to American constitutional thought.’ Sotirios A.

Through extensive historical research and analysis of Madison’s heretofore underappreciated 1791 ‘Notes on Government’, Madison’s scholarly contributions are cast in a new light, yielding a richer, more comprehensive understanding of his political thought than ever before. Advance praise: ‘Colleen Sheehan places James Madison’s ‘Notes on Government’ in the history of political thought and thus further reveals Madison as a political philosopher and not just a partisan tactician. In addition to this important discovery, she has included Madison’s ‘Notes’ in a book that is now indispensable for seminars in American political thought and the early republic.’ Jeremy D.

Emotional and Sectional Conflict in the Antebellum United States Michael E. Woods Marshall University, West Virginia

The sectional conflict over slavery in the United States was not only a clash between labour systems and political ideologies but also a viscerally felt part of the lives of antebellum Americans. This book explores how emotions shaped Americans’ perceptions of, and responses to, the sectional conflict in order to explain why it culminated in disunion and war. ‘Michael E. Woods argues that emotions were critical in shaping the perceptual orientations and political action that ultimately severed antebellum America along sectional lines. Woods uncovers distinctly regional emotional regimes that structured thoughts, framed political actions, and invested local and national attachments with powerful meaning. No other scholar of this period has succeeded to the degree

Early republic and antebellum history of Woods in showing how the act of feeling was a cultural construction, and one that had profound political consequences in forming regional identity and in leading the nation to civil war. His brilliant exploration of this subject has profound implications for how we understand Civil War America.’ Peter S.

Gender and Race in Antebellum Popular Culture Sarah N. Roth Widener University, Pennsylvania

This book argues that white women, as creators and consumers of popular culture media, played a pivotal role in the demasculinization of black men during the antebellum period, and consequently had a vital impact on the political landscape of antebellum and Civil War-era America through their powerful influence on popular culture. ‘Filled with surprises and discoveries, Sarah Roth’s book shows us antebellum American literature in a new light. Exploring the intricate dance between representations of white women and black men, Roth shows novels struggling to make sense of American society as it lurched from one decade, and crisis, to another.’ Edward Ayers, President and Professor of History, University of Richmond 2014 228 x 152 mm 326pp 14 b/w illus. 8 tables 978-1-107-04368-8 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Romantic Reformers and the Antislavery Struggle in the Civil War Era Ethan J. Kytle California State University, Fresno

The first study of Romantic reform to focus squarely on this period, Romantic Reformers is an intellectual history of the American antislavery movement in the 1850s and early 1860s. It focuses on the ideas and actions of five Romantic reformers who became leading figures

in the final years of the struggle against slavery. ‘In this stunningly original work, Ethan J. Kytle uncovers the critical connection between romanticism and the antislavery crusade of the 1850s. Based on a deep reading of archival sources and bristling with fresh insights, Romantic Reformers and the Antislavery Struggle in the Civil War Era reveals how these abolitionists blended the perfectionism of an earlier generation with sentimentalism and martial heroism. Sophisticated and elegantly written, it is a stimulating and altogether absorbing book.’ Douglas R.

Religion, Race, and the Making of Confederate Kentucky, 1830–1880

Valdosta State University, Georgia

Luke E. Harlow

This book examines the many ways in which African Americans made the Civil War about ending slavery. Abraham Lincoln’s primary goal was to save the Union rather than to absolve the institution of slavery, yet slaves who escaped to Union lines refused to fight for the Union while remaining enslaved, ultimately forcing Lincoln to disband the institution.

This book sheds new light on the role of religion in the nineteenth-century slavery debates. In it, Luke E. Harlow argues that ongoing conflict over the meaning of Christian ‘orthodoxy’ constrained the political and cultural horizons available for defenders and opponents of American slavery.

‘If asked ‘who freed the slaves?’ most Americans would probably still answer Abraham Lincoln. But that answer does not do justice to the far more complicated process by which freedom was achieved or give credit to the primary movers behind it. This book reclaims the term ‘self-emancipation’, which only fell out of favor after the Civil War, to show how slaves were central to initiating and sustaining their own freedom. It is an imminently readable and engaging testament of stories that emanate from below, which provide a fuller picture of how the nation survived one of its most searing crises.’ Tera Hunter, Princeton University 2014 228 x 152 mm 274pp 24 b/w illus. 978-1-107-01649-1 Hardback £50.00 / US$80.00

University of Tennessee, Knoxville

‘Luke Harlow’s carefully researched and gracefully argued book reveals the importance of religion – an oftenoverlooked subject – in the racial politics of the Civil War era. Religion, as Harlow shows, explains Kentucky’s transformation from a state that favored the Union to one identified with the Confederacy and white supremacy after the Civil War. Harlow’s analysis, however, is about more than Kentucky. In his skilled hands, the state exposes broad national dynamics that explain the limits of change during Reconstruction more generally.’ Laura F.

American history – 1861 – 1900 / American history after 1945 / 20C American history legal history into dialogue with the scholarship of other historical fields. Advance praise: ‘Bold, brilliant, and sweeping, this concise history places the transformation of American law at the center of the Civil War. In clear analysis of constitutional amendments, Supreme Court decisions, expanding wartime powers, and everyday people’s bold claims, Edwards shows that a war fought to preserve a legal order ended up almost entirely remaking it. The legal dismantling of American slavery not only extended rights to new people but also reconfigured what rights meant and why they were so central to the new American nation that the war made.’ Gregory Downs, City College and Graduate Center, City University of New York New Histories of American Law

This book analyzes the political culture of the American Sunbelt since the end of World War II. It highlights and explains the Sunbelt’s emergence during the second half of the twentieth century as the undisputed geographic epicenter for conservative Republican power in the United States. ‘For forty-some years, pundits and scholars have portrayed the Sunbelt as a free-market haven for strip malls, megachurches and metropolitan sprawl – and the bastion of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan conservatism. With great breadth and care, Sean Cunningham tracks the long history of this region’s rightward drift and its pivotal role in reddening American political culture. Yet with great creativity and innovation, he also depicts the Sunbelt in refreshingly textured terms as a place of remarkable diversity, adaptation, contestation, and ceaseless transformation. Nuanced and engaging, Cunningham’s beautifully crafted text offers an invaluable glimpse at how this trendsetting

1919, The Year of Racial Violence How African Americans Fought Back David F. Krugler University of Wisconsin, Platteville

Krugler focuses on how African Americans responded to the racially motivated mob violence that swept across the nation in 1919, and thus develops the first account of this three-front fight – in the streets, in the press, and in the courts – during one of the worst years of racial conflict in US history. Advance praise: ‘Decades before the Black Power movement brought a national spotlight to armed self-defense, African Americans waged a multi-front battle to protect themselves and their communities from white supremacist violence. This powerful book captures the high cost and high stakes of the War for Democracy brought home. By turns devastating and inspiring, it sets the new standard for exploring African Americans’ struggle for safety, truth, and justice in the aftermath of World War I.’ Adriane Lentz-Smith, Duke University

The NAACP and the Struggle for Colonial Liberation, 1941–1960 Carol Anderson Emory University, Atlanta

Bourgeois Radicals explores the NAACP’s key role in the liberation of Africans and Asians across the globe even as it fought Jim Crow on the home front. It also examines the toll that internationalism took on the organization and illuminates the linkages between the struggle for human rights and the fight for colonial independence. Advance praise: ‘Bourgeois Radicals is a landmark contribution to the literature on African-American anti-colonialism. Carol Anderson’s meticulous research recovers the NAACP’s internationalism and forcefully challenges the orthodox scholarship that has claimed the anticolonial struggle as a monopoly of the radical left.’ Manfred Berg, Universität Heidelberg 2015 228 x 152 mm 382pp 24 b/w illus. 978-0-521-76378-3 Hardback £55.00 / US$90.00 978-0-521-15573-1 Paperback £21.99 / US$32.99 Publication January 2015 For all formats available, see

Making Policy Public Participatory Bureaucracy in American Democracy Susan L. Moffitt Brown University, Rhode Island

This book challenges the conventional wisdom that government bureaucrats inevitably seek secrecy and demonstrates how and when participatory bureaucracy manages the enduring tension between bureaucratic administration and democratic accountability. ‘Making Policy Public is the best study of advisory committees at any level of government, ever. Susan L. Moffitt offers a novel theoretical perspective about why these committees came to exist, how they are used, and the potential value of their operation for policy making and policy implementation.

Constructing Race The Science of Bodies and Cultures in American Anthropology Tracy Teslow University of Cincinnati

This book explores how physical anthropologists struggled to understand variation in bodies and cultures in the twentieth century, how they represented race to professional and lay publics, and how their efforts contributed to an American formulation of race that has remained rooted in both bodies and cultures, as well as heredity and society. ‘Teslow’s scholarship is first-rate, and this lucidly written and persuasively argued book is a major contribution

Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State Megan Ming Francis Pepperdine University, Malibu

Through a sweeping archival analysis of the NAACP’s battle against lynching and mob violence from 1909 to 1923, this book examines how the NAACP raised public awareness, won over American presidents, secured the support of Congress, and won a landmark criminal procedure case in front of the Supreme Court. ‘Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State is an outstanding contribution to the fields of race and politics, American political development, and legal studies. Drawing on rich archival sources, Francis redefines our understanding of the early civil rights movement, the NAACP, and its relationship to the American presidency and Congress. Her research forces us to revise our understanding of the complicated relationships between early twentiethcentury presidents and the black movement for racial justice. This work also sharply highlights how social movement organizations tack back and forth between multiple strategies to achieve their goals. Students of American politics, history, legal studies, race and politics, and social movements will all find this a mustread.’ Michael C. Dawson, John D.

A Concise History of the New Deal Jason Scott Smith University of New Mexico

This book provides a concise narrative history of the New Deal, exploring the important institutional, political, and cultural changes experienced by the United States during the Great Depression. Going into much greater depth than other recent histories of the period, this book integrates a command of the scholarly literature with a lively, engaging narrative. ‘Jason Scott Smith’s book could not be more timely. He has written what now must be regarded as the best one-volume history of the New Deal. His easy mastery of the vast historical literature and his sensitivity to political realities provide a compelling account of FDR’s dramatic efforts to save capitalism and create a more humane society. Smith’s clear-eyed assessment of what the New Deal did, and did not, achieve is a refreshing antidote to the simplistic debates of today’s politics.

Open Standards and the Digital Age History, Ideology, and Networks Andrew L. Russell Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey

How did the idea of openness become the defining principle for the twentyfirst-century information age? This book answers this question by looking at the history of information networks and paying close attention to the politics of standardization. ‘This book contributes significantly to our understanding of the current state of affairs in information technology and governance, while also making original contributions to our understanding of the evolution of business institutions across the long twentieth century. Drawing on substantial original research, Andrew L. Russell argues that processes for setting industry standards have embodied broadly felt (and often competing) values regarding American governance. … In the process, we come to see how

the current enthusiasm for open systems and standards fits in a larger story of American governance. The current situation is neither a radical break nor an idealized state, as much contemporary literature insists and celebrates. Rather, it is a refinement in the face of shifting economic conditions that reflects and draws on a persistent commitment to economic liberalism. This is an important point that will garner considerable attention from historians and contemporary business analysts.’ Steven W.

The Workplace Constitution from the New Deal to the New Right Sophia Z. Lee University of Pennsylvania

Today, most Americans lack constitutional rights on the job. Instead of enjoying free speech or privacy, they can be fired for almost any reason or no reason at all. This book uses history to explain why, taking readers back to the 1930s and 1940s when advocates across the political spectrum set out to enshrine constitutional rights in the workplace. Advance praise: ‘The Workplace Constitution from the New Deal to the New Right is both ambitious and important – it moves across time and among a variety of individuals, organizations, and government entities, and it utilizes a wide range of archival material – all of keen interest to historians, legal scholars, and political scientists alike. Lee’s formidable intelligence gives us new insights, as well as historical and historiographical surprises.’ Risa L.

American history (general) From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth Labor and Republican Liberty in the Nineteenth Century Alex Gourevitch Brown University, Rhode Island

This book reconstructs how a group of nineteenth-century labor reformers appropriated and radicalized the republican tradition. These ‘labor republicans’ derived their definition of freedom from a long tradition of political theory dating back to the classical republics. Advance praise: ‘Alex Gourevitch’s new book powerfully challenges received understandings of the relationship between liberal and republican ideas and unsettles familiar narratives about the history of American political thought. He shows that republican political theory is not as automatically or easily egalitarian as has often been assumed; that nineteenth-century laissez-faire free labor doctrines themselves made civic and not only liberal claims; and, most importantly and centrally, that those he identifies as ‘labor republicans’ offered a neglected, fascinating, and distinctively American critique of capitalism and wage labor. From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth is an exciting and highly original work.’ Jacob T.

This book demonstrates that the defining features of nineteenth-century electoral politics were the product of institutions in the states that prescribed how votes were cast and how those votes were converted into political offices. ‘For many years to come, I expect this will be an important source of information on election law, the impact of ballot design on the ‘coordination’ of party control of offices, and hypotheses concerning structural manipulation of voter behavior. The analysis is carefully and skilfully executed, the findings are convincing, and the implications are well drawn.’ Richard Bensel, Cornell University 2014 228 x 152 mm 284pp 62 b/w illus. 31 tables 978-1-107-05039-6 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

America’s Dirty Wars Irregular Warfare from 1776 to the War on Terror Russell Crandall Davidson College, North Carolina

This book examines the long, complex experience of American involvement in irregular warfare. It begins with the American Revolution in 1776 and chronicles big and small irregular wars for the next two and a half centuries, ending with the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. ‘Russell Crandall has provided us with an extremely valuable history of America’s involvement in ‘dirty wars’ throughout our history – with vignettes of comparison with similar engagements by other nations. He documents events dimly remembered, if at all. He usefully explores the political and ethical difficulty of effectively pursuing such campaigns in a democratic state ostensibly committed to human rights and respect for the rule of law.’ Martin L.

American history (general) / Latin American history illuminates the connections between efforts to criminalize violence against African Americans under slavery and Jim Crow and hate crime legislation today. Putting the tools of sociological analysis to work, he recasts familiar stories in a new and fascinating light, showing the way criminal justice – or injustice – works to perpetuate racial hierarchies.

Death and the American South is an edited collection of twelve never-beforepublished essays, featuring leading senior scholars as well as influential upand-coming historians. The contributors use a variety of methodological approaches for their research and explore different parts of the South and varying themes in history. Advance praise: ‘Death has always held high revel in the South, where malaria, Indian wars, the brutality of slavery, national defeat and a host of gray ghosts paved the way for today’s high rates of gun ownership, obesity, diabetes, and capital punishment. The authors of these excellent essays cannot exorcise these Southern haunts, but they do explore with dark beauty how Southerners have made meaning in the teeth of often meaningless (and self-inflicted) pain. This is another fivestar collection from the team of Friend and Glover.’ Stephen Berry, Gregory Chair in the Civil War Era, University of Georgia Cambridge Studies on the American South

Making a New Deal Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919–1939 Second edition Lizabeth Cohen Harvard University, Massachusetts

This book examines how it was possible and what it meant for ordinary factory workers to become effective unionists and national political participants by the mid-1930s. We follow Chicago workers as they make choices about whether to attend ethnic benefit society meetings or to go to the movies, whether to shop in local neighborhood stores or patronize the new A & P. As they made daily decisions like these, they declared their loyalty in ways that would ultimately have political significance. When the depression worsened in the 1930s, workers adopted new ideological perspectives and overcame longstanding divisions among themselves to mount new kinds of collective action. Chicago workers’ experiences all converged to make them into New Deal Democrats and CIO unionists. First printed in 1990, Making a New Deal has become an established classic in American history. The second edition includes a new preface by Lizabeth Cohen. Review of previous edition: ‘At every step the argument is developed in a sophisticated way … Making a New Deal constitutes a major achievement.’ Julia Greene, Journal of American History Canto Classics

Pemmican Empire Food, Trade, and the Last Bison Hunts in the North American Plains, 1780–1882 George Colpitts University of Calgary

George Colpitts offers new perspectives on the market economy of the western prairie after 1780, one that created asymmetric power among traders and informed the bioregional history of the West where the North American bison became a food commodity hunted to nearly the last animal. ‘At last we have the sweeping story of the destruction of the buffalo herds of North America, not as a subject of natural history but as an inquiry into man’s depredations – from the first employment of the mammal’s flesh and fat for the making of pemmican, which was the fuel of the fur traders that enabled the spanning of the continent to the Columbia Country, right through to the savage and debilitating corporate wars and rivalries across the forty-ninth parallel. Thoroughly researched and finely written, this distinguished contribution to historical studies tells the tragic story of a world we have lost as individuals, corporations, tribes, and Metis all sought to maximize their benefits in the profligate search for food and for hides. It is a story of universal importance.’ Barry Gough, Wilfrid Laurier University Studies in Environment and History

Freedom’s Mirror Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution Ada Ferrer New York University

Freedom’s Mirror follows the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution in Cuba, where the violent entrenchment of slavery occurred at the very moment that the Haitian Revolution provided a powerful example of slaves destroying slavery. By linking two stories that are usually told separately, Ada Ferrer sheds fresh light on both of these crucial moments in Caribbean and Atlantic history. Advance praise: ‘This remarkable book addresses a fundamental paradox in the history of the Atlantic World: plantation slavery retrenched and intensified even as antislavery politics scored its first great triumph. The Haitian revolution offered the world a beacon of freedom, but it also stimulated an economic, political, and philosophical reaction, exemplified in the consolidation of slavery on an unprecedented scale in neighboring Cuba. With precision and passion, Ferrer shows how liberation and bondage made and unmade one another. Exhaustively researched and beautifully written, this is a masterwork of analytical storytelling.’ Vincent Brown, Harvard University 2015 228 x 152 mm 384pp 12 b/w illus. 4 maps 978-1-107-02942-2 Hardback £50.00 / US$80.00 978-1-107-69778-2 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 Publication January 2015 For all formats available, see

Intellectuals and the Search for National Identity in TwentiethCentury Brazil Ronald H. Chilcote University of California, Riverside

This book discusses twentieth-century Brazilian political thought, arguing that while Rio de Janeiro intellectuals envisaged the state and the national bourgeoisie as the means to overcome dependency on foreign ideas and culture, São Paulo intellectuals looked to civil society and the establishment of new academic institutions in the search for national identity. ‘The history of Brazil in the twentieth century is also the history of its public intellectuals. Ronald H. Chilcote fully understands how culture and politics were intertwined in Brazil, and he has written an extraordinary book on these Brazilian intellectuals, which is also a critical interpretation of how Brazil changed from an oligarchical society to a vibrant although unequal democracy.’ Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira, Emeritus Professor, Getulio Vargas Foundation 2014 228 x 152 mm 301pp 2 tables 978-1-107-07162-9 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

The Legacy of Dutch Brazil Edited by Michiel van Groesen Universiteit van Amsterdam

This volume argues that Dutch Brazil (1624–54) is an integral part of Atlantic history and that it made an impact well beyond colonial and national narratives in the Netherlands and in Brazil. By examining its regional, national, and cosmopolitan legacies, thirteen authors trace memories and mythologies of Dutch Brazil from the national period up until the present day. ‘Dutch Brazil has languished at historiographic margins, selfcontained and poorly integrated into the history of Latin America or the Atlantic world. This exemplary interdisciplinary collection recasts the history of this fascinating time and place. With its meticulous scholarship, Atlantic perspective, heterogeneous chapters, and lengthy bibliography, The Legacy of Dutch Brazil is a timely book of lasting value.’ Alison Games, Georgetown University

And yet, to foreigners it remains a broadly exotic country … Part of the reason why [it] remains a known unknown to the world at large is the lack of an authoritative account of the historical trends that have defined modern Brazilian society and economy. With the publication of [this book] this will no longer be the case. Eminent economic historians [Luna and Klein] provide a detailed analysis of the evolution of Brazilian society and economy from the end of the empire to the present day.

The Economic History of Latin America since Independence Third edition Victor Bulmer-Thomas University College London

This study covers the economic history of Latin America from independence in the 1820s to the present, stressing the differences between Latin American countries while recognizing the external influences to which the whole region has been subject. This revised third edition contains a wealth of new material that draws on the new research in this area. ‘Bulmer-Thomas’s third update of The Economic History of Latin America since Independence is the essential, even canonical, guide for a region of the world long dominated by commodities and their export. Scrupulously detailed and balanced, the book outlines Latin America’s largely disappointing growth record without discounting the region’s economic variety, historical achievements, and social possibilities. Those hoping to re-energize the study of Latin American economic history can start reading here.’ Paul Gootenberg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of History and Sociology, Stony Brook University, and author of Andean Cocaine: The Making of a Global Drug (2009)

Black Saint of the Americas The Life and Afterlife of Martín de Porres Celia Cussen Universidad de Chile

This is the first scholarly study of the life and cult of the black Peruvian saint, Martín de Porres (1579–1639), the son of a Spaniard and a freed slavewoman from Panamá. It traces the evolution of his cult and the events in Peru, the United States and Rome that led to his canonization in 1962. ‘In a time of change and promise for the Catholic Church under its first Latin American Pope, Celia Cussen offers readers a fascinating account of the first black saint of the Americas, Peru’s Fray Martín de Porres. From his emergence as the son of a Spanish American father and formerly enslaved woman, to the movement to canonize him long after his death, Black Saint of the Americas has much to teach us about the history of Catholicism in the New World. And, like the saint she reveals in this impeccably researched and highly readable life and afterlife of de Porres, Cussen’s book is ‘good to think with’.’ Henry Louis Gates, Jr, Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University Cambridge Latin American Studies, 99

Asian Slaves in Colonial Mexico From Chinos to Indians Tatiana Seijas Miami University

This book tracks the complex history of Asian slaves who journeyed to Mexico on the ships of the Manila Galleon in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Tatiana Seijas examines the implications of these individuals’ change in legal status from the bondage of

chino slavery to the freedom of the Mexico City streets as liberated Indians. ‘This important and enjoyable new addition to the venerable Cambridge Latin American Studies book series makes a resoundingly original contribution to the field. Seijas skillfully deploys archival sources on both the Philippines and Colonial Mexico, placing their analysis within a single, coherent framework. The result is fascinating; as the study unfolds, it effectively shifts our views of Asian slavery in Spanish America, of identity terms like chino, and indeed of race and ethnicity in early colonial Mexico.’ Matthew Restall, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Latin American History, Pennsylvania State University Cambridge Latin American Studies, 100

European history – 450–1000 Charlemagne’s Practice of Empire

A History Marcos Cueto

Catholic University of America, Washington DC

and Steven Palmer University of Windsor, Ontario

This book serves as a concise and synthetic history of medicine and health in Latin America from 1492 to the present, summarizing the social history of medicine, medical education, and public health in Latin America and placing it in dialogue with the international historiographical currents in medicine and health. Advance praise: ‘This remarkable book is the first study to weave together a detailed and sophisticated understanding of the historical transformations of medical education, public health, and medicine in Latin America from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. With a strong narrative, remarkable insights and a thorough examination of some of the most recent findings, research questions, and methodologies, Cueto and Palmer provide a lucid and novel historical reassessment of indigenous medicines, medical pluralism, national and international health agendas, disease eradication, rural health, medical innovations, and global health. Their proposal of two novel concepts, ‘culture of survival’ and ‘health in adversity’, will most definitively enable rich and useful reexaminations of the histories and realities of the flexible, dynamic, contradictory, fragmented and discontinuous public health initiatives, policies and discourses of the region. Inspiring and informative,

The Frankish king Charlemagne conquered most of Western Europe and then had to learn how to govern this vast new empire. The practices of rulership that Charlemagne and his men invented created a new style of politics which shaped subsequent medieval history and helped form Europe as we know it. Advance praise: ‘Historians have rightly emphasized the importance of religion to Charlemagne and his contemporaries. In this refreshingly original, lucid and strongly argued book, Jennifer Davis shows that ideology is only part of the story. Finding what worked empirically was what drove Charlemagne’s practice of empire, and produced some enduring effects.’ Janet Nelson, King’s College London 2015 228 x 152 mm 400pp 3 b/w illus. 2 maps 5 tables 978-1-107-07699-0 Hardback c. £65.00 / c.

and Sven Meeder Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen

New texts and original manuscript material are presented in a range of case studies to establish the crucial role played by the textual resources of the past in actually forming, and not merely reflecting, the cultural memory and identities of political and religious communities in early medieval Europe. Advance praise: ‘This coherent collection focuses on the collection, formation, and management of the distant (classical and patristic) and the more recent past through processes of selective transmission, suppression, and rewriting of this heritage in the early Middle Ages. They are an important contribution to our understanding of the importance of biblical and patristic texts and the core significance of the Eusebius-Jerome tradition to create useful cultural memories, but also the malleability of these texts at the hands of authors and compilers.’ Patrick J.

Medieval Rome was uniquely important, both as a physical city and as an idea with immense cultural capital. Rome across Time and Space explores these twin dimensions of ‘place’ and ‘idea’ and analyses Rome’s role in the transmission of culture throughout the Middle Ages. ‘With its clearly defined questions, and its innovative papers, [Rome across Time and Space] proves to be an extremely useful compass that will help you navigate whether you are going towards or coming from Rome … it diversifies and refreshes our understanding of the idea(s) of Rome prevailing in the Middle Ages … a volume worthwhile reading both for its individual papers and for the overarching concept.’ Réka Forrai, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014 229 x 152 mm 372pp 39 b/w illus. 2 maps 2 tables 2 music examples 978-1-107-46019-5 Paperback £20.99 / US$31.99 Also available 978-0-521-19217-0 Hardback £64.99 / US$114.99 For all formats available, see

Calling upon a wealth of archival evidence ranging from the late antiquity to the first millennium, it surveys the role of religious ideas and apocalyptic thought in shaping medieval society in Western Europe. ‘This is an exceptional book. Palmer offers a synthesis where none currently exists, moving the study of apocalypticism away from modern historiographical polemic and into a space that helps us understand the Early Middle Ages as a whole.’

Richard Talbert provides a long-overdue reinterpretation and appreciation of the map as a masterpiece of both mapmaking and imperial Roman ideology enabling readers to engage with it more closely than ever before. ‘The great strength of Talbert’s book is that it argues – at times almost despite itself – for an imaginative non-cartographical viewing of the Peutinger Table.’ The Times Literary Supplement 2014 253 x 177 mm 256pp 33 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-107-68575-8 Paperback £24.99 / US$36.99 Also available 978-0-521-76480-3 Hardback £59.99 / US$104.99 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Attila Edited by Michael Maas Rice University, Houston

This book considers the great cultural and geopolitical changes in western Eurasia in the fifth century CE. It focuses on the Roman Empire, but also examines the changes taking place in northern Europe, in Iran under the Sasanian Empire, and on the great Eurasian steppe. Attila is presented as a contributor to, and a symbol of, these transformations. ‘This work is transformational. Although focused on the Roman Empire, it also encompasses Eurasia, including the geopolitical dilemmas of Iran. Systematic treatment of subjects ranging from law and learning to climate change and mass migration serves to calibrate the Huns’ impact and identifies a shift in the stance of classical civilizations toward steppe peoples, from aloofness to fertile interaction.’ Jonathan Shepard, University of Oxford

European history – 1000 – 1450 The Clergy in the Medieval World Secular Clerics, Their Families and Careers in North-Western Europe, c.800–c.1200 Julia Barrow University of Leeds

Unlike monks and nuns, clergy have hitherto been sidelined in accounts of the Middle Ages, but they played an important role in medieval society, in pastoral care, education and administration. This book examines how clerics built up their careers, and identifies the principal factors influencing their advancement. Advance praise: ‘Julia Barrow’s magisterial social history of medieval clergy brings into sharp focus many aspects of the medieval Church hitherto only vaguely understood. A previously fragmented field of study is synthesised as a unified whole, resting on deep and secure scholarship. It is a tremendously important book.’ David d’Avray, University College London

Università degli Studi di Milano

and Isabella Lazzarini

This magisterial study proposes a revised and innovative view of the political history of Renaissance Italy. Drawing on comparative examples from across the peninsula and the kingdoms of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, an international team of leading scholars highlights the complexity and variety of the Italian world from the fourteenth to early sixteenth centuries, surveying the mosaic of kingdoms, principalities, signorie and republics against a backdrop of wider political themes common to all types of state in the period. The authors address the contentious problem of the apparent weakness of the Italian Renaissance political system. By repositioning the Renaissance as a political, rather than simply an artistic and cultural phenomenon, they identify the period as a pivotal moment in the history of the state, in which political languages, practices and tools, together with political and governmental institutions, became vital to the evolution of a modern European political identity.

The Jew, the Cathedral and the Medieval City Synagoga and Ecclesia in the Thirteenth Century Nina Rowe Fordham University, New York

In the thirteenth century, sculptures of Synagoga and Ecclesia – paired female personifications of the Synagogue defeated and the Church triumphant – became a favoured motif on cathedral façades in France and Germany. This book explores the roots of the Synagoga-Ecclesia motif in antiquity and argues that, within the context of the cathedral façade, the figures conveyed a political message of Christian ascendancy and Jewish submission. ‘Rowe’s approach to her work is impressively versatile, drawing historical, textual, and material evidence into synthesis with formal and stylistic observations to walk the

A History of Balance, 1250–1375 The Emergence of a New Model of Equilibrium and its Impact on Thought Joel Kaye Barnard College, Columbia University

This groundbreaking history of balance reveals how a new model of equilibrium emerged during the medieval period. Although the ideal of balance and its central place in the workings of nature and society remained unchanged, a greatly expanded sense of what balance is, and can be, developed. ‘In his intriguing and learned A History of Balance 1250–1375, Joel Kaye lays out a bold and original account of intellectual transformation in the late Middle Ages. In impressive detail, he chronicles the formation of a model of equilibrium, or balance, in the minds and writings of late medieval thinkers. This model … gave rise to strikingly novel ideas about the self-regulating actions of the human body, commerce, and politics. His study breaks new

Monastic Women and Religious Orders in Late Medieval Bologna Sherri Franks Johnson

The Cambridge Companion to the Italian Renaissance

University of California, Riverside

Edited by Michael Wyatt

Sherri Franks Johnson explores the roles of religious women in the changing ecclesiastical and civic structures of late medieval Bologna, demonstrating how convents negotiated a place in their urban context and in the church at large.

The Renaissance in Italy continues to exercise a powerful hold on the popular imagination. This Companion presents a lively, comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to a period that witnessed both a significant revalidation of the classical past and the development of new, vernacular and increasingly secular values.

‘Sherri Franks Johnson’s extraordinary picture of women’s religious communities in Bologna is based on a painstaking study of archival sources. Her analysis of more than thirty such communities of monastic women in the later Middle Ages contradicts what was until recently a dismal assessment of women’s monastic lives after the Gregorian Reform, but also sheds new light on the mendicant orders.’

Medieval Heresies Christianity, Judaism, and Islam Christine Caldwell Ames University of South Carolina

This advanced undergraduate textbook is the first comparative survey of heresy and its response throughout the medieval world. Spanning England to Persia, it examines heresy, error, and religious dissent – and efforts to end them through correction, persuasion, or punishment – among Latin Christians, Greek Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Advance praise: ‘By showing that heresy can be treated within a single framework which embraces Christianity, Judaism and Islam, Caldwell Ames has in effect redefined the subject, and made an important contribution to comparative world history. In doing so she sustains a high level of learning and intellectual power and originality over a range almost as remarkable

chronologically – from patristic times until the early modern period – as culturally.’ R. I. Moore, Newcastle University

University of Miami

Andrew Pettegree, University of St Andrews

The Merchant Republics analyzes the ways in which three major economic powerhouses – Amsterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg – developed dual identities as ‘communities of commerce’ and republics over the course of the long eighteenth century (c.1648–1790). ‘The Merchant Republics expands outward from the most prominent North German commercial center, Hamburg, and presents it alongside Antwerp in the Southern Netherlands and Amsterdam in the Dutch Republic as part of an innovative and comparative study of three leading European commercial centers. Comparative history of this kind is a very difficult genre to produce, but Mary Lindemann has succeeded to a remarkable extent. This book is far more than three parallel studies within one book. By acknowledging the real contrasts between Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Hamburg, Lindemann is able to make some effective and revealing comparisons, located in the context of each city’s earlier evolution, and to highlight the real similarities. Lindemann is one of the most distinctive voices currently writing about the ‘long eighteenth century’, and her latest book will add to her already high reputation.’ Hamish Scott, University of Glasgow 2014 228 x 152 mm 371pp 9 b/w illus. 978-1-107-07443-9 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Carl Goldstein examines the print culture of seventeenth-century France through a study of Abraham Bosse, a well-known printmaker, illustrator, and author of books and pamphlets. The consummate print professional, Bosse persistently explored the possibilities of print – single-sheet prints combining text and image, book illustration, broadsides, placards, almanacs, theses, and pamphlets. ‘Bosse was ‘a consummate print professional’ who was remarkable for ‘his persistent and sustained interrogation of the seemingly endless possibilities of print’ … this monograph goes beyond an assessment of the work of one Huguenot artist to look at his wider significance for the print culture of early modern France.’ The Huguenot Society Journal 2014 253 x 177 mm 237pp 60 b/w illus. 978-1-107-42944-4 Paperback £22.99 / US$36.99 Also available 978-1-107-01214-1 Hardback £64.99 / US$109.99 For all formats available, see

This book reveals the links and relationships between Portugal and Brazil that survived the demise of empire and shaped the trajectories of the two countries. ‘By asking how the Portuguese empire lasted not why it lagged, Gabriel Paquette overturns conventional historical wisdom on Brazil, Portugal and the Atlantic world.

The Spanish Atlantic World in the Eighteenth Century War and the Bourbon Reforms, 1713–1796 Allan J. Kuethe Texas Tech University

and Kenneth J. Andrien Southern Methodist University, Texas

This book covers the evolution of royal policy in Spanish America as eighteenthcentury Spain modernized its empire and transformed itself into a power of the first order. Tracing the interplay between war and reform, the analysis confronts the diverse realities of the Spanish Atlantic world, which stretched from the northern Mexican borderlands to Argentina and Chile. ‘A superb analysis of how Spanish imperial reforms unfolded as the Bourbon monarchy competed with its rivals in Europe and across the Atlantic to the New World and transformed Spain from a composite to a regalist, centralist monarchy. Its broad perspective and perceptive analysis make this book the most thorough, mature scholarship on the Bourbon reforms. It provides an outstanding introduction to the reforms and richly rewards readers already familiar with the Spanish empire in the eighteenth century.’ Kendall W.

French Colonial Soldiers in German Captivity during World War II Raffael Scheck Colby College, Maine

This book discusses the experience of French colonial prisoners of war captured by Nazi Germany during World War II. It shows that the colonial prisoners’ contradictory experiences with French authorities, French civilians, and German guards led to clashes with a colonial administration eager to return to a discriminatory routine following the war. Advance praise: ‘This book makes a great contribution to our understanding of the experiences of colonial POWs during WWII, which had significant repercussions on the postwar political development in the French empire. To date no study has dealt so extensively with the experiences of the French colonial prisoners of war. The fact that Raffael Scheck is also able to present the German perspective of the story is essential to our understanding of the colonial prisoners’ experiences. Rarely does one see such a detailed and dedicated work based on so many different archives. This is a remarkable piece of scholarship.’ Ruth Ginio, Ben Gurion University of the Negev

Advance praise: ‘Elegant and accessible, Judith Hughes’s sober discussion probes the inner lives of Holocaust perpetrators through the lens of widely read researchers.

20C European history Hi Hitler! How the Nazi Past is Being Normalized in Contemporary Culture Gavriel D. Rosenfeld Fairfield University, Connecticut

In recent years, traditional moralistic views of the Nazi past in western intellectual and cultural life have been challenged by a powerful wave of normalization. Hi Hitler! examines how the exceptionality of the Nazi legacy has been progressively diminished by a sustained effort to relativize, universalize, and aestheticize it. ‘Endowed with erudition, deep scholarship, fluent style and a sense of humor, Hi Hitler is a major contribution to our understanding of current memories of the Third Reich and their consequences.’ Alon Confino, author of A World Without Jews: The Nazi Imagination from Persecution to Genocide 2014 228 x 152 mm 476pp 46 b/w illus. 978-1-107-07399-9 Hardback £50.00 / US$80.00 978-1-107-42397-8 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

TwentiethCentury Spain A History Julián Casanova Universidad de Zaragoza

and Carlos Gil Andrés

A much-needed new overview of Spanish social and political history which sets developments in Spain within a European context. The authors chart the country’s experience of democracy, dictatorship and civil war and its dramatic transformation from an agricultural and rural society to an industrial and urban society fully integrated into Europe.

The ‘Red Terror’ and the Spanish Civil War

‘Lively, readable and comprehensive, a welcome addition to the literature in English on twentieth-century Spain.’

Revolutionary Violence in Madrid Julius Ruiz

Helen Graham, Royal Holloway, University of London

University of Edinburgh

Approximately 50,000 Spaniards were extrajudicially executed in Republican Spain, following the failure of the military rebellion in July 1936. This mass killing of ‘fascists’ – the ‘Red Terror’ – seriously undermined attempts by the Republican government to present itself as fighting a war for democracy. This study challenges the common view that executions were the work of criminal or anarchist ‘uncontrollables’. ‘The purpose of Julius Ruiz’s study is not to present a lurid description of atrocities, as does much of the literature in this area, but to offer an in-depth study of the institutions and mechanisms of the Republican repression in Madrid. This makes it possible to reveal the structure and functioning of the terror, rather than dwelling on the pathos of victimization alone. Ruiz provides a kind of political history of Madrid on the eve of the Civil War and during the first six months of the conflict, revealing in detail the interplay, competition, and cooperation of the various Republican political forces in organizing and carrying out repression. No previous account has achieved this depth and quality of analysis. Ruiz offers a major contribution to the history of repression in the Civil War, a genuine research breakthrough.’ Stanley G. Payne, University of Wisconsin, Madison

Beyond Violence Jewish Survivors in Poland and Slovakia, 1944–48 Anna Cichopek-Gajraj Arizona State University

Comparing Polish-Jewish and SlovakJewish experiences in the aftermath of the Second World War, this book explores the dynamics of interaction among ethnic groups after major crises. It examines post-war Jewish experiences of property restitution, citizenship and anti-Jewish violence as part of the broader social, political and cultural environment of reconstruction. ‘This well-researched and innovative volume provides a vivid account of the attempts to revive Jewish life in Poland and Slovakia. It shows clearly that, in spite of the increasingly repressive nature of the communist governments of these countries and the persistence of anti-Jewish violence, these efforts, although ultimately frustrated by the political situation, initially had a significant degree of support.

July Crisis The World’s Descent into War, Summer 1914 T. G. Otte University of East Anglia

This is a magisterial new account of Europe’s tragic descent into a largely inadvertent war in the summer of 1914. Thomas Otte reveals why a century-old system of Great Power politics collapsed so disastrously in the weeks from the ‘shot heard around the world’ on June 28th to Germany’s declaration of war on Russia on August 1st. He shows definitively that the key to understanding how and why Europe descended into world war is to be found in the near-collective failure of statecraft by the rulers of Europe and not in abstract concepts such as the ‘balance of power’ or the ‘alliance system’. In this unprecedented panorama of Europe on the brink, from the ministerial palaces of Berlin and Vienna to Belgrade, London, Paris and St Petersburg, Thomas Otte reveals the hawks and doves whose decision-making led to a war that would define a century and which still reverberates today. ‘Anyone planning to wade through the vast outpouring of literature on the First World War might do well to make July Crisis their first port of call.’ Jules Stewart, Military History 2014 228 x 152 mm 555pp 32 b/w illus. 2 maps 978-1-107-06490-4 Hardback £25.00 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

Secularism and Religion in NineteenthCentury Germany The Rise of the Fourth Confession Todd H. Weir Queen’s University Belfast

This book explores the culture, politics, and ideas of the nineteenth-century German secularist movements of Free Religion, Freethought, Ethical Culture,

and Monism. In it, Todd H. Weir argues that although secularists challenged church establishment and conservative orthodoxy, they were subjected to the forces of religious competition. ‘Secularism and Religion in Nineteenth-Century Germany is a highly original, deeply researched, elegantly argued, and very significant contribution to modern German history. Crossing virtually all of the topics of recent interest in the field, including secularization, anti-Semitism, the Kulturkampf, monism, the history of Berlin, and esoteric religious pursuits, Todd Weir blends recent research with older debates concerning Bismarck’s policies, the Strange Death of German Liberalism, and the problem of Jewish assimilation. Readers will surely be impressed by the depth of Weir’s research and the subtlety of his argumentation, and even subjects they thought they knew well will look different on viewing them from the perspective of ‘the fourth confession’.’ Suzanne L.

Livingston brilliantly explores the legal framework, case-level operation, and ominous consequences of Fascist Italy’s racial laws from their introduction in 1938 to the regime’s destruction in 1943. He offers original and often disturbing perspectives on the legal-bureaucratic mechanisms of the Holocaust, the character of modern Italy, and the rule of law.

Red Globalization

This book takes stock of arguments about the historical legacies of communism that have become common within the study of Russia and East Europe, more than two decades after communism’s demise. It elaborates an empirical approach to the study of historical legacies revolving around relationships and mechanisms rather than correlation and outward similarities.

The Political Economy of the Soviet Cold War from Stalin to Khrushchev Oscar Sanchez-Sibony

‘In the aftermath of revolutionary change, whether after the French revolution or the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, scholars have invariably launched heated debates about whether the new order is indeed new or if it demonstrates some continuities with the past. In sharp and welcome contrast to these usually ambling discussions, this edited volume takes a rigorous approach to the assessment of historical legacies by defining the term in a precise way that makes the phenomenon both testable and falsifiable and by identifying factors and mechanisms that account for when, where, how, and to what extent such legacies

The Cambridge History of Russia Volume 1: From Early Rus’ to 1689 Edited by Maureen Perrie University of Birmingham

This first volume of the Cambridge History of Russia covers the period from early (‘Kievan’) Rus’ to the start of Peter the Great’s reign in 1689. It surveys the development of Russia through the Mongol invasions to the expansion of the Muscovite state in the sixteenth

Russian, East European history / European history (general) and seventeenth centuries and deals with political, social, economic and cultural issues under the Riurikid and early Romanov rulers. The volume is organised on a primarily chronological basis, but a number of general themes are also addressed, including the bases of political legitimacy; law and society; the interactions of Russians and non-Russians; and the relationship of the state with the Orthodox Church. The international team of authors incorporates the latest Russian and Western scholarship and offers an authoritative new account of the formative ‘pre-Petrine’ period of Russian history, before the process of Europeanisation had made a significant impact on society and culture. ‘This three volume Cambridge History of Russia, the first such Englishlanguage reference work of its kind, is based on up-to-date research and is admirably detailed and reliable in its judgments … contributions are of such outstanding quality that they deserved to be fully read and savoured.’ FT Magazine

The Cambridge History of Russia Volume 2: Imperial Russia, 1689–1917 Edited by Dominic Lieven London School of Economics and Political Science

The second volume of The Cambridge History of Russia covers the imperial period (1689–1917). It encompasses political, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic, and military history. All the major Russian social groups have separate chapters and the volume also includes surveys on the non-Russian peoples and the government’s policies towards them. It addresses themes such as women, law, the Orthodox

Church, the police and the revolutionary movement. The volume’s seven chapters on diplomatic and military history, and on Russia’s evolution as a great power, make it the most detailed study of these issues available in English. The contributors come from the USA, UK, Russia and Germany: most are internationally recognised as leading scholars in their fields, and some emerging younger academics engaged in cutting-edge research have also been included. No other single volume in any language offers so comprehensive, expert and up-to-date an analysis of Russian history in this period. ‘This book has been published at a time when interest in the Russian state and its society is highly likely to grow owing to the recent series of events relating to Russia’s more independent stand in the international arena. The volume will, no doubt, meet the demands of the next generation of scholars for up-to-date views and interpretations of imperial Russia. I recommend this book without reservation, to both academics and students of Russian history.’ A. A. Fedorov, University of Derby

The third volume of The Cambridge History of Russia provides an authoritative political, intellectual, social and cultural history of the trials and triumphs of Russia and the Soviet Union during the twentieth century. It

encompasses not only the ethnically Russian part of the country but also the non-Russian peoples of the tsarist and Soviet multinational states and of the post-Soviet republics. Beginning with the revolutions of the early twentieth century, chapters move through the 1920s to the Stalinist 1930s, World War II, the post-Stalin years and the decline and collapse of the USSR. The contributors attempt to go beyond the divisions that marred the historiography of the USSR during the Cold War to look for new syntheses and understandings. The volume is also the first major undertaking by historians and political scientists to use the new primary and archival sources that have become available since the break-up of the USSR. ‘The essays in the volume together provide one of the most comprehensive accounts of Russia’s most turbulent century and will stand the test of time.’ Europe-Asia Studies

The Great Divergence Reconsidered Europe, India, and the Rise to Global Economic Power Roman Studer Universität Zürich

Studer shows that Europe’s rise to its current status as an undisputed world economic leader was not the effect of the Industrial Revolution; rather, an interplay of institutional, geographical, political, and technological factors accounts for Europe’s early and gradual rise to its status as a global superpower. Advance praise: ‘Adam Smith’s central thesis was that efficient markets generate economic growth. This lively book revives the Smithian tradition. Efficient markets create growth, and efficient markets were unique to pre-industrial Europe. This is an important contribution to the debate on why the West rather than the East experienced the Industrial Revolution.’ Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis 2015 228 x 152 mm 256pp 30 b/w illus. 10 maps 9 tables 978-1-107-02054-2 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 Publication January 2015 For all formats available, see

Magic in the Middle Ages Second edition Richard Kieckhefer

How was magic practised in medieval times? How did it relate to the diverse beliefs and practices that characterised this fascinating period? In Magic in the Middle Ages Richard Kieckhefer surveys the growth and development of magic in medieval times. He examines its relation to religion, science, philosophy, art, literature and politics before introducing us to the different types of magic that were used, the kinds of people who practised magic and the reasoning behind their beliefs. In addition, he shows how magic served as a point of contact between the popular and elite classes, how the reality of magical beliefs is reflected in the fiction of medieval literature and how the persecution of magic and witchcraft led to changes in the law. This book places magic at the crossroads of medieval culture, shedding light on many other aspects of life in the Middle Ages. Canto Classics

The Spanish Labyrinth An Account of the Social and Political Background of the Spanish Civil War Gerald Brenan

Gerald Brenan’s The Spanish Labyrinth has become the classic account of the background to the Spanish Civil War. Written during and immediately after the Civil War, this book has all the vividness of the author’s experience. It represents a struggle to see the issues in Spanish politics objectively, whilst bearing witness to the deep involvement which is the only possible source of much of this richly detailed account. As a literary figure on the fringe of the Bloomsbury group, Gerald Brenan lends to this narrative an engaging personal style that has become familiar to many thousands of readers over the decades since it was first published.

Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning The Great War in European Cultural History Jay Winter Pembroke College, Cambridge

Jay Winter’s powerful study of the ‘collective remembrance’ of the Great War offers a major reassessment of one of the critical episodes in the cultural history of the twentieth century. Dr Winter looks anew at the culture of commemoration and the ways in which communities endeavoured to find collective solace after 1918. Taking issue with the prevailing ‘modernist’ interpretation of the European reaction to the appalling events of 1914–18, Dr Winter instead argues that what characterised that reaction was, rather, the attempt to interpret the Great War within traditional frames of reference. Tensions arose inevitably. Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning is a profound and moving book of seminal importance for the attempt to understand the course of European history during the first half of the twentieth century. ‘No one interested in the broad impact of the First World War, or the cultural history of the twentieth century, can afford to neglect this book.’ The Times Literary Supplement Canto Classics

The New Cambridge Medieval History Volume 1: c.500–c.700 Edited by Paul Fouracre University of Manchester

The first volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the transitional period between the later Roman world and the early middle ages, c. 500 to c. 700. This was an era of developing consciousness and profound change in Europe, Byzantium and the Arab world, an era in which the foundations of medieval society were laid and to which many of our modern myths of national and religious identity can be traced. This book offers a comprehensive regional survey of the sixth and seventh centuries, from Ireland in the west to the rise of Islam in the Middle East, and from Scandinavia in the north to the Mediterranean south. It explores the key themes pinning together the history of this period, from kingship,

European history (general) trade and the church, to art, architecture and education. It represents both an invaluable conspectus of current scholarship and an expert introduction to the period. ‘… The New Cambridge Medieval History is complete. … Paul Fouracre has provided a worthy addition to this prestigious series. … the volume includes excellent surveys of Scandinavian history by Lotte Hedeager, Slavic history by Zbigniew Kobylinski and numerous essays on the British Isles. … coverage of early medieval European history is thorough and balanced. … especial praise must be given to the excellent summary of ‘The barbarian invasions’ by Guy Halsall – sure to become indispensable to a new generation of undergraduates – to Simon Loseby’s stimulating account of ‘The Mediterranean economy’ and, perhaps most strikingly, to Michael Toch’s discussion of ‘The Jews in Europe, 500–1050’, which takes the reader beyond the chronological confines of the volume as a whole, but with richly rewarding results. … the contributions are all fluidly written, stimulating and a pleasure to read. The comprehensive index and useful thematic bibliographies further ensure that this volume will be an essential reference tool for years to come.’ Journal of Ecclesiastical History

one of remarkable political and cultural coherence, combined with crucial, very diverse and formative developments in every sphere of life. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the authors consider developments in Europe as a whole, from Ireland to the Bosphorus and Iceland to Gibraltar. The chapters offer an examination of the interaction between rulers and ruled, of how power and authority actually worked, and of the impact of these on the society and culture of Europe as a whole. The volume is divided into four parts. Part I encompasses the events and political developments in the whole of the British Isles, the west and east Frankish kingdoms, Scandinavia, the Slavic and Balkan regions, Spain, Italy, and those aspects of Byzantine and Muslim history which impinged on the west between c. 700 and c. 900. Parts II, III and IV cover common themes and topics within the general categories of government and institutions, the church and society, and cultural and intellectual development.

this time. It was also an era of great fragmentation, and hence of differences which have been magnified by modern national historiographical traditions. This volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History reflects these varying traditions, and provides an authoritative survey in its own terms. The volume is divided into three sections. The first covers general themes such as the economy, government, and religious, cultural, and intellectual life. The second is devoted to the kingdoms and principalities which had emerged within the area of the former Carolingian empire as well as the ‘honorary Carolingian’ region of England. The final section deals with the emergent principalities of eastern Europe and the new and established empires, states and statelets of the Mediterranean world.

The fifth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History brings together studies of the political, religious, social and economic history of the whole of Europe and of the Mediterranean world between about 1198 and 1300. Comprehensive coverage of the developments in western Europe is balanced by attention to the east of Europe, including the Byzantine world, and the Islamic lands in Spain, north Africa and the Levant. Thematic articles look at the fine arts, the vernacular, communications and other aspects of a period in which the frontiers of Latin Christendom were expanding vigorously outwards; and attention is paid to the frontier societies that emerged in Spain, the Baltic and the Mediterranean islands. ‘This volume is a monumental achievement for which the editor and his contributors deserve thanks.

Part II deals with the individual histories of the states of western Europe; Part III with that of the Church at the time of the Avignon papacy and the Great Schism; and Part IV with eastern and northern Europe, Byzantium and the early Ottomans, giving particular attention to the social and economic relations with westerners and those of other civilisations in the Mediterranean. ‘What is the volume’s strength?

University of Liverpool

This volume covers the last century (interpreted broadly) of the traditional western Middle Ages. Often seen as a time of doubt, decline and division, the period is shown here as a period of considerable innovation and development, much of which resulted from a conscious attempt by contemporaries to meet the growing demands of society and to find practical solutions to the social, religious and political problems which beset it. The volume consists of four sections. Part I focuses on both the ideas and other considerations which guided men as they sought good government, and on the practical development of representation. Part II deals with aspects of social and economic development at a time of change and expansion. Part III discusses the importance of the life of the spirit: religion, education and the arts. Moving from the general to the particular, Part IV concerns itself with the history of the countries of Europe, emphasis being placed on the growth of the nation states of the ‘early modern’ world.

The Cambridge History of Magic and Witchcraft in the West From Antiquity to the Present Edited by David J. Collins, S. J. Georgetown University, Washington DC

This book presents twenty chapters by experts in their fields, providing a thorough and interdisciplinary overview of the theory and practice of magic in the West. Its chronological scope extends from the Ancient Near East to twenty-first-century North America; its objects of analysis range from Persian curse tablets to US neo-paganism. For comparative purposes, the volume includes chapters on developments in the Jewish and Muslim worlds, evaluated not simply for what they contributed at various points to European notions of magic, but also as models of alternative development in ancient Mediterranean legacy. Similarly, the volume highlights the transformative and challenging encounters of Europeans with non-Europeans, regarding the practice of magic in both early modern colonization and more recent decolonization.

The New Cambridge History of the Bible Volume 4: From 1750 to the Present Edited by John Riches University of Glasgow

This volume examines the Bible’s role in the modern world – beginning with a treatment of its production and distribution that discusses publishers, printers, text critics, and translators and continuing with a presentation of new methods of studying the text that have emerged, including historical, literary, social-scientific, feminist, postcolonial, liberal, and fundamentalist readings. There is a full discussion of the changes in understandings of and approaches to the Bible in various faith communities. The dissemination of the Bible throughout the globe has also produced a host of new interpretations, and this volume provides a comprehensive geographical survey of its reception. In the final chapters, the authors offer a thematic overview of the Bible in relation to literature, art, film, science, and other disciplines. They demonstrate that, in spite of challenges to the Bible’s authority in western Europe, it remains

Yalta 1945 Europe and America at the Crossroads Fraser J. Harbutt Emory University, Atlanta

This revisionist study of Allied diplomacy from 1941 to 1946 challenges Americocentric views of the period and highlights Europe’s neglected role. Fraser J. Harbutt, drawing on international sources, shows that in planning for the future Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, and others self-consciously operated into 1945, not on ‘East/West’ lines but within a ‘Europe/America’ political framework characterized by the plausible prospect of Anglo-Russian collaboration and persisting American detachment. Harbutt then explains the

This fresh perspective, stressing structural, geopolitical, and traditional impulses and constraints, raises important new questions about the enduringly controversial transition from World War II to a cold war that no statesman wanted. ‘The scholarly profession is much in need of a new substantial scholarly work on the Yalta conference, its history and its legacy. Fraser Harbutt has produced a masterly new account of European-American relations during the Second World War. Its easily readable style is bound to appeal to scholars as well as the general public. This book is truly international history at its best written by one of the foremost and most knowledgeable experts in this area.’

A History of Zimbabwe Alois S. Mlambo University of Pretoria

There is currently no single-volume history of Zimbabwe that provides detailed coverage of the country’s experience from pre-colonial times to the present. This book examines Zimbabwe’s pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial social, economic and political history and relates historical factors and trends to more recent developments in the country. ‘The absence of a single text dedicated to the longue durée of Zimbabwe’s history can now be said to be a thing of the past. At long last, Professor Alois Mlambo has, for the first time, produced a crisp singlevolume book that documents the country’s rich historical experience, covering the entire precolonial, colonial and postcolonial continuum. Easily readable but deeply incisive in its evaluations, A History of Zimbabwe coherently weaves together historiographical debates, which scholars have been engaged in over time, with a clear content analysis framed by recognizable themes and chronology. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the long historical trajectory of contemporary socioeconomic and political developments in Zimbabwe. Professor Mlambo’s book will become the classic text on the history of Zimbabwe for a long time to come.’ Muchaparara Musemwa, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg

Water, Civilization, and Power in Sudan The Political Economy of Military-Islamist State Building Harry Verhoeven University of Oxford

Based on years of unique access to Islamists, generals, and business elites, Harry Verhoeven tells the story of Africa’s most ambitious state-building project in the modern era and how Sudan’s gamble to instrumentalise water to consolidate power is linked to globalisation, Islamist ideology, and the intensifying geopolitics of the Nile.

Textbook Highlight

Slavery and Slaving in African History Sean Stilwell University of Vermont

This book is a comprehensive history of slavery in Africa from earliest times to the end of the twentieth century, connecting the emergence and consolidation of slavery to specific historical forces both internal and external to the African continent. It examines the different forms of slavery that developed in Africa and presents the lives, work, and struggles of slaves themselves. ‘Sean Stilwell presents us with a powerful entry into the rich debate on the nature and history of slavery and slaving in Africa. His book represents both a valuable point of entry for any scholar moving into this field and a superb synthesis of recent research across the continent for those of us trying to keep up. Stilwell also manages to stake out positions in key debates that respond to recent scholarship, like that from Joe Miller, while inviting new avenues of deliberation. This volume thus serves as a monograph, a historiography, and an excellent teaching text all in one book.’ Trevor R. Getz, Professor of History, San Francisco State University

Text and Authority in the South African Nazaretha Church

Democracy in Africa Successes, Failures, and the Struggle for Political Reform Nic Cheeseman University of Oxford

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the history of democracy in Africa and grapples with important questions facing Africa and democracy today, including whether international actors should promote democracy abroad, how to design political systems that manage ethnic diversity, and why democratic governments often make bad policies.

The Nazaretha church, with over four million members, is one of the largest and most influential African churches in South Africa. Unique among other churches, its members have written a new ‘Bible’ that tells the story of their community. This is the first study to focus upon how these believers used their new Bible to redefine Christianity in a Southern African context. The International African Library, 46

The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), a church of Brazilian origin, has been enormously successful in establishing branches and attracting followers in post-apartheid South Africa. As an ethnography of people rather than of institutions, this book offers fresh insights into the mass PCC movement that has swept across Africa since the early 1990s.

‘In what is by far the most profound and wide-ranging study of one of the world’s most challenging and disconcerting religious phenomena, Ilana van Wyk has produced a truly engrossing work of ethnography. In its triumphant march out of Brazil and across the globe, the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God attracts millions of followers, but also puzzlement, indignation and shock for its success with methods which seem at first sight to be utterly out of keeping with contemporary cultures.

This examination of the state of Hyderabad challenges the idea of the dominant British Raj as the sole sovereign power in the late colonial period. It redefines the nature of political sovereignty in the era of colonialism, and identifies the close relationship between Muslim rule and political modernity. Advance praise: ‘Hyderabad formed the strongest Muslim link between colonial India and the world. By taking seriously its claims to sovereignty, Beverley carries Hyderabad beyond its colonial confines onto the larger stage of transnational history.’ Nile Green, University of California, Los Angeles 2015 228 x 152 mm 352pp 7 b/w illus. 4 maps 1 table 978-1-107-09119-1 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 Publication March 2015 For all formats available, see

Advance praise: ‘Dhulipala’s impressively researched, lucidly written, and intelligently argued book comes as a sharp but welcome corrective to the tendency to see Pakistan as a country created accidentally in a fit of popular enthusiasm and elite indirection in the final, confusing years of British rule in India. Dhulipala shows, with particular focus on north India, how rich the 1940s were with public debates in English and Urdu over the meaning of Pakistan.

Moreover, the author’s intellectual gambit of bypassing numerous routine, historico-political accounts that are regurgitated to bolster colonial and/or postcolonial theses is noteworthy.’ Gita Rajan, Fairfield University 2014 234 x 156 mm 199pp 978-1-107-04280-3 Hardback £55.00 / US$90.00 For all formats available, see

The Indian Army and the End of the Raj Daniel Marston Australian National University, Canberra

A unique examination of the role of the Indian army in post-World War II India in the run-up to Partition. Daniel Marston draws upon extensive archival research and interviews with veterans of the events of 1947 to provide fresh insight into the final days of the British Raj. ‘The ‘Transfer of Power’ in India has often been written about in terms of politics and personalities, but lingering largely unnoticed in the background has been a crucial, unasked question: why did the Indian Army, under stresses as powerful as any army in modern history has experienced, not simply disintegrate, throwing the subcontinent into total chaos? Mixing massive archival research, interviews with surviving participants, British, Indian and Pakistani, and a profound empathy for the subject, Marston answers that question in a book that will certainly readjust perspectives on the end of the Raj, and be essential reading for any serious student of that epochal event.’ Raymond Callahan, FRHS, Professor Emeritus, University of Delaware Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society

Law and Identity in Colonial South Asia Parsi Legal Culture, 1772–1947 Mitra Sharafi University of Wisconsin, Madison

This book explores the legal culture of the Parsis, or Zoroastrians, an ethno-religious community unusually invested in the colonial legal system of British India and Burma. From the mid-nineteenth century until India’s

South Asian history / South-East Asian history / East Asian history independence in 1947, Parsis became heavy users of colonial law, acting as lawyers, judges, litigants, lobbyists, and legislators. ‘Despite its importance, there is relatively little written on Parsi law. Mitra Sharafi’s book undertakes the most detailed and informed study of the main branches of Parsi legal history. In it, Sharafi neatly straddles two readerships, the Parsi specialist and the legal fields. Through this, Sharafi offers a work that is by a long way the best study in its field, carrying the subject a long way forward. This is a superb piece of work.’ John R.

Chopsticks A Cultural and Culinary History Q. Edward Wang Rowan University, New Jersey

Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culinary experience across the globe, with more than one fifth of the world’s population using them daily to eat. In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of chopsticks, Q. Edward Wang charts their evolution from a simple eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more complex, cultural symbol today. Opening in the Neolithic Age, at the first recorded use of chopsticks, the book surveys their practice through Chinese history, before exploring their transmission in the fifth century to other parts of Asia, including Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Mongolia. Calling upon a striking selection of artwork, the author illustrates how chopstick use has influenced Asian cuisine, and how, in turn the cuisine continues to influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe. 2015 228 x 152 mm 224pp 32 colour illus. 978-1-107-02396-3 Hardback £19.99 / US$29.99 Publication January 2015 For all formats available, see

The Ecology of War in China Henan Province, the Yellow River, and Beyond, 1938–1950 Micah S. Muscolino University of Oxford

This book explores the interplay between war and the environment in Henan Province, a hotly contested frontline territory that endured massive environmental destruction and human disruption during the conflict between China and Japan that raged during World War II. Advance praise: ‘This is a riveting study of one of modern history’s worst war-induced disasters. In 1938 the Yellow River was turned into a weapon of strategic defense, its waters let loose on the North China plain by Chinese forces resisting the Japanese invasion. This consummate work shows the evolution of the disaster and lays out its ghastly human and ecological effects. It is a pioneering combination of environmental history and Chinese history.’ Diana Lary, University of British Columbia Studies in Environment and History

Rather than focusing on state legislation and discourse, it examines the implementation of state policies on the ground and the effects of these policies. ‘Senem Aslan demonstrates through comparative historical analysis of the Kurds in Turkey and the Berbers in Morocco that intrusive nationalizing projects can undermine rather than increase the strength of a state.

State, Faith, and Nation in Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Lands Frederick F. Anscombe Birkbeck, University of London

Challenging standard narratives of Ottoman, Balkan and Middle East history, which overemphasise the role of nationalism in the transformation of the region, this book argues that religious affiliation was the most influential shaper of communal identity in the Ottoman era, and that it continues to mould the relationship between state and society today.

Middle East. Anscombe’s book offers an unusual synthesis of scholarship covering regions rarely considered together. His reinterpretation of the rise of modernity after the fall of the Ottoman Empire argues that religious affiliation was the primary historical force behind these developments. His attempt to account from the traumatic relationship religious people had with the modern state uniquely ties events such as the collapse of Yugoslavia to the rise of political Islam.

The Cambridge History of Turkey represents a monumental enterprise. The History, comprising four volumes, covers the period from the end of the eleventh century, with the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia, through the emergence of the early Ottoman state and its development into a powerful empire in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, encompassing a massive territory from the borders of Iran in the east, to Hungary in the west, and North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula in the south. The last volume covers its destruction in the aftermath of the First World War, and the history of the modern state of Turkey which arose from the ashes of empire. Chapters from an international team of contributors reflect the very significant advances that have taken place in Ottoman history and Turkish studies in recent years.

Shi’i Islam An Introduction Najam Haider Barnard College, New York

This book examines the development of Shi‘i Islam through the lenses of belief, narrative, and memory. The portrait of Shi‘ism that emerges is that of a distinctive and vibrant community of

Muslims with a remarkable capacity for reinvention and adaptation. ‘Haider provides a thoroughly researched and methodologically nuanced survey of Shi‘ism that fills the gap between works that focus on the historical origins of Shi‘ism and primers that attempt to summarize the central elements of Shi‘i theological beliefs and practices. This work is certain to supersede existing introductions as the standard reference on the subject for academic courses and as a general guide for specialists and non-specialists alike.’ Tariq al-Jamil, Swarthmore College Introduction to Religion

Pozières Echoes of a Distant Battle Christopher Wray

From July to September 1916, some 23,000 Australians were killed or wounded in the Battle of Pozières. It was the first strategically important engagement by Australian soldiers on the Western Front and its casualties exceeded those of any other battle of the First World War, including Gallipoli. In this important book, Christopher Wray explores the influence of Pozières on Australian society and history, and how it is remembered today. In the opening chapters he revisits the battle and considers its aftermath, including shell shock and the psychological effects experienced by surviving soldiers. The concluding chapters examine the way in which the battle has been commemorated in literature and art, and the extent to which it has been overlooked in contemporary remembrance of the war. Generously illustrated with photographs, maps and paintings, Pozières: Echoes of a Distant Battle is essential reading for anyone interested in the First World War and Australia’s post-war society.

Stretcher-bearers Saving Australians from Gallipoli to Kokoda Mark Johnston Scotch College, Melbourne

Stretcher-bearers is a compelling account of the experience of Australian stretcher-bearers during the First and Second World Wars. Respected military historian, Mark Johnston traces the development of formal stretcher-bearing from its origin in the early nineteenth century under Napoleon to the Second World War. Johnston draws on accounts by stretcher-bearers who worked on the front line, as well as tributes from rescued soldiers, to deepen our understanding of the crucial role these soldiers played in Gallipoli, Palestine, the Western Front in World War I, and in

the Middle East and the Pacific in World War II. The narrative is further driven by rich imagery, featuring over 130 fullpage photographs. This book provides a generously illustrated, engaging and moving account of the history of the stretcher-bearer, a figure praised by countless Diggers but never previously the subject of a book.

A unique explanation of melancholia, charting its fascinating history and demonstrating how it flourished because of the West’s peculiar fascination with self-consciousness. This book will appeal to readers interested in the cultural history of the West, as well as those with an interest in mental illness. ‘Matthew Bell’s knowledge of Western historical and cultural traditions is farreaching, deep, and employed to great advantage in this compelling book.

History of science and technology / Military history A History of Pythagoreanism Edited by Carl A. Huffman DePauw University, Indiana

This is a comprehensive, authoritative and innovative account of Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism, one of the most enigmatic and influential philosophies in the West. In twenty-one chapters covering a timespan from the sixth century BC to the seventeenth century AD, leading scholars construct a number of different images of Pythagoras and his community, assessing current scholarship and offering new answers to central problems. Chapters are devoted to the early Pythagoreans, and the full breadth of Pythagorean thought is explored including politics, religion, music theory, science, mathematics and magic. Separate chapters consider Pythagoreanism in Plato, Aristotle, the Peripatetics and the later Academic tradition, while others describe Pythagoreanism in the historical tradition, in Rome and in the pseudoPythagorean writings. The three great lives of Pythagoras by Diogenes Laertius, Porphyry and Iamblichus are also discussed in detail, as is the significance of Pythagoras for the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

Science and Religion Some Historical Perspectives John Hedley Brooke University of Oxford, Emeritus

John Hedley Brooke offers an introduction and critical guide to one of the most fascinating and enduring issues in the development of the modern world: the relationship between scientific thought and religious belief. It is common knowledge that in western societies there have been periods of crisis when new science has threatened established authority. The trial of Galileo in 1633 and the uproar caused by Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) are two of the most famous examples. Taking account of recent scholarship in the history of science, Brooke takes a fresh look at these and similar

episodes, showing that science and religion have been mutually relevant in so rich a variety of ways that no simple generalizations are possible. ‘[John Hedley Brooke] has given us a brilliant, perceptive, subtle, nuanced analysis, which will permanently alter the way scholars and the informed lay public view the relations of science and religion.’ David C.

War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-five eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war’s origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressing divergent claims to justice and controlling news from the front in order to sustain moral and influence international opinion. Part II looks at politics from the perspective of pre-war and wartime diplomacy as well as examining the way in which neutrals were treated and behaved. The volume concludes by assessing the impact of states, politics and ideology on the fate of individuals as occupied and liberated peoples, collaborators and resistors, and as British and French colonial subjects.

The conflict that ended in 1945 is often described as a ‘total war’, unprecedented in both scale and character. Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War adopts a transnational approach to offer a comprehensive and global analysis of the war as an economic, social and cultural event. Across twenty-eight chapters and four key parts, the volume addresses complex themes such as

Operation Typhoon Hitler’s March on Moscow, October 1941 David Stahel University of New South Wales, Canberra

In October 1941 Hitler launched Operation Typhoon the German drive to capture Moscow and knock the Soviet Union out of the war. As the last chance to escape the dire implications of a winter campaign, Hitler directed seventy-five German divisions, almost two million men and three of Germany’s four panzer groups into the offensive, resulting in huge victories at Viaz’ma and Briansk – among the biggest battles of the Second World War. David Stahel’s groundbreaking new account of Operation Typhoon captures the perspectives of both the German high command and individual soldiers, revealing that despite success on the battlefield the wider German war effort was in far greater trouble than is often acknowledged. Germany’s hopes of final victory depended on the success of the October offensive but the autumn conditions and the stubborn resistance of the Red Army ensured that the capture of Moscow was anything but certain. ‘With a firm grasp of strategic, operational, economic, and logistical factors, Stahel has again laid bare German weaknesses and shattered the myth of the all-powerful Wehrmacht. The best sort of revisionism, Operation Typhoon dissects the material factors leading to ultimate German failure before Moscow, all the while integrating the personal aspect of the

Highlight David Stahel

In November 1941 Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final drive on the Soviet capital, now less than 100 kilometres away. Army Group Centre was pressed into the attack for one last attempt to break Soviet resistance before the onset of winter. From the German perspective the final drive on Moscow had all the ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which, according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow. David Stahel now challenges this wellestablished narrative by demonstrating that the last German offensive of 1941 was a forlorn effort, undermined by operational weakness and poor logistics, and driven forward by what he identifies as National Socialist military thinking. With unparalleled research from previously undocumented army files and soldiers’ letters, Stahel takes a fresh look at the battle for Moscow, which even before the Soviet winter offensive, threatened disaster for Germany’s war in the east. 2015 228 x 152 mm 480pp 25 b/w illus. 18 maps 3 tables 978-1-107-08760-6 Hardback £25.00 / US$35.00 Publication January 2015 For all formats available, see

The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949 S. C. M. Paine Naval War College

The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949 shows that the Western treatment of World War II, the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War as separate events misrepresents their overlapping connections and causes. The Chinese Civil War precipitated a long regional war between China and Japan that went global in 1941 when the Chinese found themselves fighting a civil war within a regional war within an overarching global war. The global war that consumed Western attentions resulted from Japan’s peripheral strategy to cut foreign aid to China by attacking Pearl Harbour and Western interests throughout the Pacific in 1941. S. C. M. Paine emphasizes the fears and ambitions of Japan, China and Russia, and the pivotal decisions that set them on a collision course in the 1920s and 1930s. The resulting wars together yielded a viscerally anti-Japanese and unified Communist China, the still-angry rising power of the early twenty-first century. ‘Paine’s study offers new perspectives on imperialist wars and interventions in twentieth-century Asia. Based on multi-archival research, it addresses a range of issues in the fraught relations of Japan, China, Russia, and the United States. Students of comparative history will find Paine’s analytical framing particularly interesting.’ Herbert P.

The Great War at Sea A Naval History of the First World War Lawrence Sondhaus University of Indianapolis

This is a major new naval history of the First World War which reveals the decisive contribution of the war at sea to Allied victory. In a truly global account, Lawrence Sondhaus traces the course of the campaigns in the North Sea, Atlantic, Adriatic, Baltic and Mediterranean and examines the role of critical innovations in the design and performance of ships, wireless communication and firepower. He charts how Allied supremacy led the Central Powers to attempt to revolutionize naval warfare by pursuing unrestricted submarine warfare, ultimately prompting the United States to enter the war. Victory against the submarine challenge, following their earlier success in sweeping the seas of German cruisers and other surface raiders, left the Allies free to use the world’s sea lanes to transport supplies and troops to Europe from overseas territories, and eventually

Napoleon and the Struggle for Germany The Franco-Prussian War of 1813 Michael Leggiere University of North Texas

This is the first comprehensive history of the campaigns that determined control of Germany following Napoleon’s catastrophic defeat in Russia. Michael Leggiere reveals how, in the spring of 1813, Prussia, the weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon as a war of national liberation. Using German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, he provides a panoramic history ranging from the mobilization of the belligerents, strategy and operations to coalition warfare, diplomacy and civil-military relations. He examines the strategy, military operations and battles in Germany from Napoleon’s initial campaign which drove the RussoPrussian army to the banks of the Oder and the verge of defeat to the epic four-day Battle of Nations at Leipzig and Napoleon’s retreat to France. This study not only highlights the breakdown of Napoleon’s strategy in 1813, but constitutes a fascinating study in coalition warfare, international relations, and civil-military relations.

Michael Leggiere reveals how, in the spring of 1813, Prussia, the weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon as a war of national liberation. Using German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, he provides a panoramic history which covers the full sweep of the battle for Germany from the mobilization of the belligerents, strategy and operations to coalition warfare, diplomacy and civilmilitary relations. He shows how Russian war weariness conflicted with Prussian impetuosity, resulting in the crisis that almost ended the Sixth Coalition in early June. In a single campaign, Napoleon drove the Russo-Prussian army from the banks of the Saale to the banks of the Oder. The Russo-Prussian alliance was perilously close to imploding only to be saved at the eleventh-hour by an armistice. Advance praise: ‘This is by far the best study in English of the spring campaign of 1813 which played a crucial part in the final defeat of Napoleon. Based on an impressive array of archival and published sources in many languages, Michael Leggiere traces the desperate Prussian struggle against the new French armies raised by Napoleon after the disaster of 1812, and their equally decisive efforts to keep their exhausted Russian allies in the war. It is unlikely that Leggiere’s account will ever be surpassed.’ Rory Muir, author of Wellington: The Path to Victory, 1769–1814 Cambridge Military Histories

Napoleon and the Struggle for Germany The Franco-Prussian War of 1813 Volume 2: The Defeat of Napoleon Michael Leggiere University of North Texas

The first comprehensive history of the decisive Fall Campaign of 1813 that determined control of Central Europe following Napoleon’s catastrophic defeat in Russia the previous year. Using German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, Michael Leggiere provides a panoramic history which covers the full sweep of the struggle in Germany. He shows how Prussia, the weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon and his empire. By reconstructing the principal campaigns and operations in Germany, the book reveals how the defeat of Napoleon in Germany was made possible by Prussian victories. In particular, it features detailed analysis of the strategy, military operations and battles in Germany that culminated with the epic four-day Battle of Nations at Leipzig and Napoleon’s retreat to France. This study not only highlights the breakdown of Napoleon’s strategy in 1813, but constitutes a fascinating study in coalition warfare, international relations, and civil-military relations. Advance praise: ‘Leggiere does an outstanding job of describing the interactions of a complex, internally-divided alliance whose armies nevertheless repeatedly managed to outmaneuver and outfight Napoleon! The operational analysis, particularly of Leipzig, is also unusually clear. This volume will – indeed must – be consulted by anyone seeking to understand the nature of war in the Napoleonic era.’ Dennis E.

How the War Was Won Air-Sea Power and Allied Victory in World War II Phillips O’Brien University of Glasgow

The Second World War is usually seen as a titanic land battle, decided by mass armies, most importantly those on the Eastern Front. Phillips O’Brien shows us the war in a completely different light. In this compelling new history of the Allied path to victory, he argues that in terms of production, technology and economic power, the war was far more a contest of air and sea supremacy. He shows how the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea power which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japan’s entire war-fighting machine from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea power dramatically expanded the area of battle and allowed the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis’s equipment before it had even reached the traditional ‘battlefield’. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad and Kursk did not win World War II; air and sea power did. Cambridge Military Histories

Combat and Genocide on the Eastern Front The German Infantry’s War, 1941–1944 Jeff Rutherford Wheeling Jesuit University, West Virginia

This book examines how the German infantry divisions both waged war against the Red Army and interacted with civilians in the industrial suburbs of Leningrad and the villages of the Demiansk Pocket by focusing on their participation in the starvation policy and their role in anti-partisan and forced labour programs. ‘There can be no doubt that Rutherford’s concept of ‘military necessity’ is a great stride forward in our knowledge of the Wehrmacht’s Modus operandi in the east. Combat and Genocide on the Eastern Front is one of the most important books on the Wehrmacht to appear in the last twenty years and a must read for both the German military campaign as well as its war of annihilation.’ David Stahel, author of Nazi Policy on the Eastern Front, 1941 (2012) Cambridge Military Histories

Why are democracies pursuing more military conflicts, but achieving worse results? Examining modern militaries and the average voter’s incentives, this book explains why Britain’s empire swelled as its suffrage expanded, why the US pursued a lengthy but flawed strategy in Vietnam, and why we are entering an age of democratic militarism. ‘Jonathan Caverley’s Democratic Militarism links economics, domestic politics, and international security in a fresh and thought-provoking way.

Allies in Memory World War II and the Politics of American Commemoration in Europe, c.1941–2001 Sam Edwards Manchester Metropolitan University

Sam Edwards uncovers the history of how, amidst the challenges and tensions of the Cold War, Americans and Europeans used acts of World War II commemoration as forums in which to discover, define and dispute the past and present of the transatlantic alliance. Advance praise: ‘In this book Sam Edwards shows that he is a historian capable of investigating a complex history in a multifaceted way navigating his way through the tricky and occasionally overlapping narratives developed by each culture. He shows the way the memory of the war has grown and adapted, the inherently political biases of all forms of commemoration and the fact that messages are altered, created or reinforced to suit different

cultures at different times. All this is done in a text that is engaging and readable. This is a major contribution to our understandings of war memory.’ Mark Connolly, University of Kent Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare

The Cambridge Economic History of Australia Edited by Simon Ville University of Wollongong, New South Wales

and Glenn Withers Australian National University, Canberra

Australia’s economic history is the story of the transformation of an indigenous economy and a small convict settlement into a nation of nearly 23 million people with advanced economic, social and political structures. It is a history of vast lands with rich, exploitable resources, of adversity in war, and of prosperity and nation building. It is also a history of human behaviour and the institutions created to harness and govern human endeavour. This account provides a systematic and comprehensive treatment of the nation’s economic foundations, growth, resilience and future, in an engaging, contemporary narrative. It examines key themes such as the centrality of land and its usage, the role of migrant human capital, the tension between development and the environment, and Australia’s interaction with the international economy. Written by a team of eminent economic historians, The Cambridge Economic History of Australia is the definitive study of Australia’s economic past and present.

Reagan and Pinochet The Struggle over US Policy toward Chile Morris Morley Macquarie University, Sydney

and Chris McGillion Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, New South Wales

This study examines US policy toward the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile during the 1980s. The authors provide fresh insights into bureaucratic conflicts that were a key feature of the policymaking process and reveal both the achievements and the limits of US influence on Pinochet’s regime. Advance praise: ‘While reams of scholarly writings have been published on the US role in the overthrow of Chilean democracy in September 1973, almost nothing of substance has been written on the US role in the denouement of the Pinochet dictatorship in 1990 – until now. Through astute analysis of a massive quantity of declassified US documents, Reagan and Pinochet has filled a major historical void. This is a compelling, definitive, and valuable study.’ Peter Kornbluh, author of The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability 2015 228 x 152 mm 354pp 978-1-107-08763-7 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 978-1-107-45809-3 Paperback £22.99 / US$34.99 Publication January 2015

The Outbreak of the First World War Structure, Politics, and DecisionMaking Edited by Jack S. Levy Rutgers University, New Jersey

and John A. Vasquez University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

This volume links historians’ debates about the origins of the First World War to theoretical debates about the causes of war. It shows how power, alliances, historical rivalries, militarism, nationalism, public opinion, internal politics, and powerful personalities shaped decision-making in each of the major countries in the lead up to war. ‘The First World War is a dominant event for subfields in both history and political science. This interdisciplinary revisiting of the causes of the conflict focuses on several enduring and important questions, including the impact of situational and dispositional factors, whether Germany or other states bear primary responsibility, and why the war began in 1914. These serious, scholarly, and timely essays are a valuable addition to multiple research traditions, including international relations theory, security studies, and diplomatic history.’ Colin Elman, Maxwell School of Syracuse University 2014 228 x 152 mm 320pp 3 b/w illus. 3 tables 978-1-107-04245-2 Hardback £55.00 / US$90.00 978-1-107-61602-8 Paperback £19.99 / US$34.99 For all formats available, see

Sartre A Philosophical Biography Thomas R. Flynn Emory University, Atlanta

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Regarded as the father of existentialist philosophy, he was also a political critic, moralist, playwright, novelist, and author of biographies and short stories. Thomas R. Flynn provides the first book-length account of Sartre as a philosopher of the imaginary, mapping the intellectual development of his ideas throughout his life, and building a narrative that is not only philosophical but also attentive to the political and literary dimensions of his work. Exploring Sartre’s existentialism, politics, ethics, and ontology, this book illuminates the defining ideas of Sartre’s oeuvre: the literary and the philosophical, the imaginary and the conceptual, his descriptive phenomenology and his phenomenological concept of intentionality, and his conjunction of ethics and politics with an ‘egoless’ consciousness. It will appeal to all who are interested in Sartre’s philosophy and its relation to his life. Advance praise: ‘This exploration of Sartre’s thought in the context of his life is both extensive and comprehensive: a major contribution to Sartre studies.’ Thomas Busch, Villanova University 2015 228 x 152 mm 480pp 978-0-521-82640-2 Hardback £30.00 / US$39.95 Publication February 2015 For all formats available, see

Machiavelli and the Modern State The Prince, The Discourses on Livy, and the Extended Territorial Republic Alissa M. Ardito Yale University, Connecticut

This work argues that Machiavelli had his own Madisonian impulse and deserves to be recognized as the first modern political theorist to envision the possibility of a republic with a large population extending over a broad territory. Advance praise: ‘This book makes a significant and fundamental contribution to the vast Machiavelli literature. It makes a very strong case against the idea that Machiavelli’s Prince stands opposed to his Discourses on Livy. While not the first time such an argument has been advanced, it makes it in a far more nuanced and sophisticated manner than the fundamental intellectual unity of Machiavelli’s political theory has been defended previously. This is a beautifully written, organized, and constructed book. I have rarely read a book on Machiavelli that I enjoyed more or learned more from.’ Peter Bondanella, Indiana University Bloomington 2015 228 x 152 mm 328pp 2 maps 978-1-107-06103-3 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 Publication January 2015

From Astell, Macaulay, and Olympe de Gouges, to Jeanne-Marie Roland and Eleanora Pimentel, this volume explores and examines the important and historically overlooked contribution of women thinkers to enlightenment political thought. It is an essential resource for readers of political philosophy, intellectual history, eighteenth-century studies and women’s studies. ‘Karen Green’s bold survey of women writers on politics and society across Europe and England convincingly demonstrates the presence and profound centrality of women of letters to Enlightenment argument.

Maimonides and the Shaping of the Jewish Canon James A. Diamond University of Waterloo, Ontario

This book examines a wide range of theologians, philosophers, and exegetes who share a passionate engagement with Maimonides, assaulting, adopting, subverting, or adapting his philosophical and jurisprudential thought. This ongoing enterprise is critical to any appreciation of the broader scope of Jewish law, philosophy, biblical interpretation, and Kabbalah. ‘James Diamond’s book is a wonderfully rich, subtle, and erudite exposition of Maimonides’ central and complex place in the history of Jewish thought. In his emphasis on Maimonides as an interpreter of prior canonical texts and in his analysis of the complex and deep ways in which Maimonides’ own works became, in turn canonical, Diamond makes a highly important and remarkable

The History Manifesto

and Jon Elster Columbia University, College de France

This book presents the most complete set of analytical, normative, and historical discussions of majority decision making to date. While some chapters discuss formal theories of majority decisions, most focus on historical and normative issues: the origin of majority voting in different contexts, and the virtues and pathologies of majority decision making. ‘The essays published in this book give very broad and deep perspectives on the varied roles played by the principle of collective decision by majority rule. Essayistic in form, the studies give insights into historical examples and specific value issues in majority decisions. I strongly recommend this volume for its varied points of view on electoral systems.’ Kenneth J.

The History Manifesto is a call to arms to historians and everyone interested in the role of history in contemporary society. This provocative and thoughtful book by two leading historians makes an important intervention in the debate about the role of history and the humanities in a digital age. ‘This is a very important and refreshing book. For too long, we have seen increasing specialization within historical research and between the disciplines of social sciences. Armitage and Guldi rightly plead for a return of the ‘longue durée’. They call for more global, long-run and transdisciplinary approaches to big questions, including climate change, inequality and the future of capitalism. Their book will be an important milestone in this direction. A must-read.’ Thomas Piketty, Paris School of Economics

The third edition (1896) of Léon Walras’ Elements of Theoretical Economics has been given a new translation for three reasons. First, this edition is Walras’ best theoretical work. Second, the two subsequent editions contain new elements that spoil his previous work. Third, William Jaffé’s translation (1954) of the last edition is now outdated in view of recent research on Walras’ ideas. ‘Walras’s theory of general economic equilibrium has inspired many great economists, from Pareto, Wicksell, Fisher, and Schumpeter to Hicks, Samuelson, Arrow, Hahn, and Debreu. It is therefore highly welcome that the third and finest edition of Walras’s opus magnum, Eléments, for the first time is made available in an excellent English edition thanks to Donald Walker and Jan van Daal, two leading Walrasian scholars.’ Harald Hagemann, University of Hohenheim 2014 228 x 152 mm 588pp 47 b/w illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-06413-3 Hardback £80.00 / US$125.00 For all formats available, see

This book examines the use, principally in economics, of the concept of the invisible hand, centering on Adam Smith. It interprets the concept as ideology, knowledge, and a linguistic phenomenon. It shows how the principal Chicago School interpretation misperceives and distorts what Smith believed on the economic role of government. ‘An unbelievably comprehensive account of what economists have meant by the invisible hand.

This is the first comprehensive treatment of the political thought of the Romans. Through chapters on Cicero, Lucretius, Sallust, Virgil, Livy, Seneca, Tacitus, Marcus Aurelius and Augustine, and discussions of Polybius, the Stoics, Epicurus, and Epictetus, Hammer argues that the Romans engaged in a penetrating reflection on politics.

This newly expanded second edition contains excerpts from Newton’s earliest optical writings, some of his unpublished reflections on the interpretation of Scriptural passages, and his correspondence with important figures in his day.
