CHRIS FUNK
Chris C. Funk, University of California
About Every year, droughts, floods, and fires impact hundreds of millions of people and cause massive economic losses. Climate change is making these catastrophes more dangerous. Now. Not in the future: NOW. This book describes how and why climate change is already fomenting dire consequences, and will certainly make climate disasters worse in the near future. Chris C. Funk combines the latest science with compelling stories, providing a timely, accessible, and beautifully-written synopsis of this critical topic. The book describes our unique and fragile Earth system, and the negative impacts humans are having on our support systems. It then examines recent disasters, including heat waves, extreme precipitation, hurricanes, fires, El Niños and La Niñas, and their human consequences. By clearly describing the dangerous impacts that are already occurring, Funk provides a call for social change, yet also conveys the beauty and wonder of our planet, and hope for our collective future.
Key Features • The first accessible and compelling book on direct attribution of human-induced climate change to climate disasters affecting millions, happening now • Includes a chapter on fire and Australia’s Black Summer • Provides an exceptionally up-to-date and comprehensive data-driven treatment of recent catastrophes that brings together, for the first time, an incredible arsenal of observations and model results • Includes accessible descriptions of how the climate and climate change, and our wider planet, actually work • Connects hard facts with moral consequences, describing how real people are being harmed by our actions

The Chinese Communist Party A Century in Ten Lives
9781108822619 Paperback AUD $34.95 / NZD $37.95 Available May 2021 Timothy Cheek, University of British Columbia Klaus Mühlhahn, Zeppelin University, Friedrichshafen Hans van de Ven, University of Cambridge
About Ten engaging personal histories introduce readers to what it was like to live in and with the most powerful political machine ever created: the Chinese Communist Party. Detailing the life of ten people who led or engaged with the Chinese Communist Party, one each for one of its ten decades of its existence, these essays reflect on the Party’s relentless pursuit of power and extraordinary adaptability through the transformative decades since 1921. Demonstrating that the history of the Chinese Communist Party is not one story but many stories, readers learn about paths not taken, the role of chance, ideas and persons silenced, hopes both lost and fulfilled. This vivid mosaic of lives and voices draws together one hundred years of modern Chinese history - and illuminates possible paths for China’s future.
Reviews ‘In this brilliantly structured anthology, the last century of the Chinese Communist Party is told through the perspectives of ten individuals. Their stories are the perfect antidote to heated political rhetoric on China that can obscure the human cost of geopolitical conflicts.’ Joanna Chiu, Toronto Star ‘This collection does something brilliant but increasingly rare in the present day - to treat the Chinese communist movement not as an abstract to be glorified or condemned, but as a series of human moments, complex, sometimes contradictory, and always fascinating. Whether it’s a Moscow-returned activist in wartime China or the actions of a Mao-inspired fanatic in Peru, the extraordinary journey of this world-changing movement comes to life in this volume.’ Rana Mitter, author of China’s Good War: How World War II is Shaping a New Nationalism

SEAMUS DEANE WITH A FOREWORD BY JOE CLEARY
Seamus Deane, University of Notre Dame With a foreword by Joe Cleary, Yale University
About Seamus Deane is one of the most vital and versatile writers of our time. These sixteen essays present an unmatched survey of Irish writing and of writing about Irish issues. Elegant, polemical and analytic, they address the political, aesthetic and cultural dimensions of some of the most notable literary and historical moments and monuments of the island’s past and present. This exhilirating book explores the style of Swift, the influence of Edmund Burke in the USA of the present day, the echoing debates about national character, aspects of Joyce’s and of Elizabeth Bowen’s relation to modernism, memoirs of Seamus Heaney, analysis of the representation of Northern Ireland in Anna Burns’ fiction. These essays from one of Irish literature’s most renowned critics have individually had a piercing impact. Small World: Ireland, 1798–2018 is an indispensable collection from one of the most important voices in Irish literature and culture.
Reviews ‘Seamus Deane is one of our greatest critics, sharp of mind and fearless in opinion. As this superb collection demonstrates, he has the large world of literature, and of Irish and Anglo-Irish literature in particular, secure within his frame of reference – there is no finer master of the art of close reading.’ John Banville ‘A new book by Seamus Deane is cause for celebration. Over several decades Deane has revolutionized the study of Irish literature and culture, and his critical innovations have also helped to shape the fields of postcolonial and transnational studies. Combining theoretical brio with a scrupulous historical sense and dazzling breadth of learning, his distinctive voice—suave, trenchant, sinuous, epigrammatic, wry—makes his pioneering insights unforgettable. Small World brings together some of Deane’s most influential essays and adds exciting new work, especially on Irish women writers.’ Maud Ellmann, University of Chicago

A Tattoo on my Brain
A Neurologist’s Personal Battle against Alzheimer’s Disease
Cover TBC 9781108838931 Hardback AUD $34.95 / NZD $37.95 Available May 2021 Daniel Gibbs, Oregon Health and Science University Teresa H. Barker
About Dr Daniel Gibbs is one of 50 million people worldwide with an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Unlike most patients with Alzheimer’s, however, Dr Gibbs worked as a neurologist for twenty-five years, caring for patients with the very disease now affecting him. Also unusual is that Dr Gibbs had begun to suspect he had Alzheimer’s several years before any official diagnosis could be made. Forewarned by genetic testing showing he carried alleles that increased the risk of developing the disease, he noticed symptoms of mild cognitive impairment long before any tests would have alerted him. In this highly personal account, Dr Gibbs documents the effect his diagnosis has had on his life and explains his advocacy for improving early recognition of Alzheimer’s. Weaving clinical knowledge from decades caring for dementia patients with his personal experience of the disease, this is an optimistic tale of one man’s journey with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
Key Features • The combined narrative of Dr Gibbs’ clinical knowledge and his engaging personal experience with the disease ensures the book will appeal to both professional and lay audiences with an interest in brain health • Lived-experience commentary from a patient living with Alzheimer’s disease provides an insight into the uncertainty and lack of information before and after a diagnosis, and offers reassurance to other patients about what lies ahead • An optimistic call-to-action for further investment in the research of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, where patients who are otherwise pre-symptomatic still have the chance to slow the progression of the disease with lifestyle changes and potential medical treatments

Making Social Spending Work
9781108478168 Hardback AUD $47.95 / NZD $51.95 Available April 2021 Peter H. Lindert, University of California
About How does social spending relate to economic growth and which countries have got this right and wrong? Peter Lindert examines the experience of countries across the globe to reveal what has worked, what needs changing, and who the winners and losers are under different systems. He traces the development of public education, health care, pensions, and welfare provision, and addresses key questions around intergenerational inequality and fiscal redistribution, the returns to investment in human capital, how to deal with an aging population, whether migration is a cost or a benefit, and how social spending differs in autocracies and democracies. The book shows that what we need to do above all is to invest more in the young from cradle to career, and shift the burden of paying for social insurance away from the workplace and to society as a whole.
Reviews ‘It’s hard to think of anyone who has had such a profound effect on the way we think about political economy. This remarkable book gives us all more to chew over. Peter Lindert continues to set the agenda.’ James A. Robinson, co-author of Why Nations Fail ‘Why do we have government-financed social spending? Why did it emerge rather late in human history? What has it accomplished? These are some of the fundamental questions that Peter Lindert asks in his monumental Making Social Spending Work. Lindert’s study of education, health care, old-age spending around the world could not have been more timely: these issues are again at the forefront of the political agenda.’ Branko Milanovic, author of Capitalism, Alone

Seven Deadly Economic Sins
Obstacles to Prosperity and Happiness Every Citizen Should Know
9781108843379 Hardback AUD $35.95 / NZD $38.95 Available April 2021 James R. Otteson, University of Notre Dame
About You have heard of the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Each is a natural human weakness that impedes happiness. In addition to these vices, however, there are economic sins as well. And they, too, wreak havoc on our lives and in society. They can seem intuitively compelling, yet they lead to waste, loss, and forgone prosperity. In this thoughtful and compelling book, James Otteson tells the story of seven central economic fallacies, explaining why they are fallacies, why believing in them leads to mistakes and loss, and how exorcising them from our thinking can help us avoid costly errors and enable us to live in peace and prosperity.
Reviews ‘The word ‘Deadly’ in Otteson’s title is no exaggeration. The great frustrations and famines of recent decades have been failures of state management, rather than contradictions of capitalism. Otteson’s contribution is to explain why these catastrophes are the result of good intentions, moral misunderstandings, and confusions about what markets can do. As society moves toward reopening the economy and restoring prosperity, this book is essential reading for what might be done, what can’t be done, and the things that lie in between.’ Michael C. Munger, Duke University ‘Otteson, a philosopher, has written for non-economists the best short introduction to economics, and to a wider political economy. It is lucid, generous, open-handed yet thorough, and solidly based scientifically. Come to think of it, most economists should read it, too. They might stop using ‘philosophical’ as a term of contempt, and get back to an AdamSmithian depth of understanding.’ Deirdre McCloskey, University of Illinois, Chicago

9781107657809 Paperback AUD $43.95 / NZD $47.95 Available April 2021 Jeremy Brown, Simon Fraser University The Tiananmen protests and Beijing massacre of 1989 were a major turning point in recent Chinese history. In this new analysis of 1989, Jeremy Brown tells the vivid stories of participants and victims, exploring the nationwide scope of the democracy movement and the brutal crackdown that crushed it. At each critical juncture in the spring of 1989, demonstrators and decision makers agonised over difficult choices and saw how events could have unfolded differently. The alternative paths that participants imagined confirm that bloodshed was neither inevitable nor necessary. This ambitious social history sheds fresh light on events that continue to reverberate in China to this day.
Indigenous Rights and Colonial Subjecthood Protection and Reform in the Nineteenth-Century British Empire 9781108458382 New in Paperback AUD $43.95 / NZD $47.95 Available March 2021 Amanda Nettelbeck, University of Adelaide
Amanda Nettelbeck
Amanda Nettelbeck explores how policies designed to protect the civil rights of indigenous peoples across the British Empire were entwined with reforming them as governable colonial subjects. The nineteenth-century policy of ‘Aboriginal protection’ has usually been seen as a fleeting initiative of imperial humanitarianism, yet it sat within a larger set of legally empowered policies for regulating new or newly-mobile colonised peoples. Protection policies drew colonised peoples within the embrace of the law, managed colonial labour needs, and set conditions on mobility. Within this comparative frame, Nettelbeck traces how the imperative to protect indigenous rights represented more than an obligation to mitigate the impacts of colonialism and dispossession.

Carey, University of Bristol This revisionist history of convict transportation from Britain and Ireland will challenge much that you thought you knew about religion and penal colonies. Based on original archival sources, it examines arguments by elites in favour and against the practice of transportation and considers why they thought it could be reformed, and, later, why it should be abolished. In this, the first religious history of the antitransportation campaign, Hilary M. Carey addresses all the colonies and denominations engaged in the debate. The complex arguments about convict transportation, which were engaged in by bishops, judges, priests, politicians and intellectuals, crossed continents and divided an empire.

American Survivors challenges the dualistic distinction between Americans-as-victors and Japanese-asvictims often assumed by scholars of the nuclear war. Naoko Wake reveals a cross-national history of war, illness, immigration, gender, family, and community from intimately personal perspectives. American Survivors brings to light the history of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that connects, as much as separates, people across time and national boundaries.

Beacons of Liberty tells the story of how these bold migrants catalysed contentious debates over citizenship, racial justice, and national character in the United States. Blending fresh historical analysis with incredible stories of escape and rebellion, Elena K. Abbott shows how the shifting geography of slavery and freedom beyond US borders helped shape the hopes and expectations of black radicals, white politicians, and fiery reformers engaged in the American anti-slavery movement.

9781108926874 Paperback AUD $35.95 / NZD $38.65 Available May 2021 David Lindenfeld, Louisiana State University In this book, David Lindenfeld proposes a new dimension to the study of world history. Here, he explores the global expansion of Christianity since 1500 from the perspectives of the indigenous people who were affected by it, and helped change it, giving them active agency. Integrating the study of religion into world history, his volume surveys indigenous experience in colonial Latin America, Native North America, Africa and the African diaspora, the Middle East, India, East Asia, and the Pacific. Lindenfeld demonstrates how religion is closely interwoven with political, economic, and social history. Lindenfeld’s cross-cultural reflections provide a compelling alternative to the Western narrative of progressive development.

This study revisits key moments in Shakespeare’s career and the development of his company and, by prioritising the immense volume of information we now possess about lost plays, provides a richer, more accurate picture of dramatic activity than has hitherto been possible. This volume presents a methodology for working with lacunae in archival evidence and the distorting effect of Shakespeare-centric narratives, thus reinterpreting our perception of the field of early modern drama.

Neuroscience has begun to intrude deeply into what it means to be human, an intrusion that offers profound benefits but will demolish our present understanding of privacy. In Privacy in the Age of Neuroscience, David Grant argues that we need to reconceptualise privacy in a manner that will allow us to reap the rewards of neuroscience while still protecting our privacy and, ultimately, our humanity. Grant delves into our relationship with technology, the latest in what he describes as a historical series of ‘magnitudes’. In this provocative work, Grant unveils a radical account of privacy and an equally radical proposal to create the social infrastructure we need to support it.

It has posed the same threat across the globe, yet countries have responded very differently and some have clearly fared much better than others. Peter Baldwin uncovers the reasons why in this definitive account of the global politics of pandemic. He shows that how nations responded depended above all on the political tools available - how firmly could the authorities order citizens’ lives and how willingly would they be obeyed? Whether citizens would follow their leaders’ requests and how soon they would tire of their demands were crucial to hopes of taming the pandemic.

But what kind of spirituality is possible in the absence of religion? In this book, McGhee shows how religious traditions and secular humanism function as ‘schools of wisdom’ whose aim is to expose and overcome the forces that obstruct justice. McGhee discusses the idea of a dialogue between religion and atheism in terms of Buddhist practice and demonstrates how a non-theistic Buddhism can address itself to theistic traditions.
