The Path to Power
BY ANDREA NEAL What does it take to become the secondin-command of one of the most powerful countries in the world? Mike Pence's rise to the vice presidency of the United States wasn't always easy. To some, he is the personification of American conservative values, but to others, his ideals are the epitome of prejudice and bigotry.
Biography, Politics Worldwide Rights 200 pgs, 20 b&w illus., 6 x 9 “A good overview of the path the politically ambitious Pence took to get to his current position.” — USA Today “Political junkies will learn some new facts and stories about Pence and gain a historical perspective missing for even those who were in the middle of the political action. . . . Neal sticks to the facts, yet in a way that yields insights and perspective.” — Indianapolis Star
POLITICS
Pence
In Pence: The Path to Power, journalist Andrea Neal showcases how the vice president arrived at this position of influence. Neal interviews friends, family, staff, former teachers, and politicians on both sides of the aisle to reveal a multifaceted view of the self-described Christian, Conservative, and Republican–in that order–from his beginnings in a large Irish Catholic family in Columbus, Indiana, through the scandals of his first election, to his time beside Donald Trump. This candid look at Mike Pence's life exposes his unexpected path to power and the individuals who influenced him along the way. ANDREA NEAL is a journalist, American history teacher, and native Hoosier. A graduate of Brown University, she is author of Road Trip: A Pocket History of Indiana.

BIOGRAPHY
The Making of John Lennon BY FRANCIS KENNY Despite the nearly universal fame of the Beatles, many people only know the fairytale version of the iconic group’s rise to fame. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of Liverpool, Francis Kenny reveals the real John Lennon who preceded the legend, showing how his childhood shaped his personality, creative process, and path to success, and how it also destroyed his mental health, leading to the downfall of one of the most confident and brilliant musicians of the past century.
Music, Biography Worldwide rights 274 pgs, 6.125 x 9.25 “The author focuses on the question of what might have caused the downfall of one of the most brilliant musicians of the past century. Kenny emphasizes three main influences which helped shape Lennon’s creative process and stayed with him throughout his life: his strong roots in his hometown of Liverpool; his troubled mental health; and a turbulent family background.” — Huffington Post
The Making of John Lennon is a must-read for any Beatles fan and explains how Lennon’s turbulent family background affected his relationships, why the true inspiration for “Strawberry Fields” could not be revealed, how Pete Best's college connection led to his removal from the group, and why class backgrounds were the real reason for the breakup of the legendary band. Offering a complex portrait of Lennon’s early life, The Making of John Lennon tells the true story behind the rise of the legendary icon. FRANCIS KENNY was born in Liverpool and lived there all his life, giving him a comprehensive understanding of the city the John Lennon grew up in. He first met his wife in The Cavern (they have five children) and has been immersed in Liverpool and Beatles culture all his life.
“This isn’t a roller-coaster ride, skipping through John Lennon’s life, but a carefully prepared examination of his early years, which forged the young man who became a 20th century icon, into a whole.” — Bill Harry, author of The John Lennon Encyclopedia

Money & Mayhem in the Gilded Age
BY JANE SIMON AMMESON
True Crime Worldwide rights 160 pgs, 22 b&w illus., 5.5 x 8.5 “A compelling and entertaining reminder that history is always with us. And sometimes all around us. A great guide to one of America’s most thrilling true stories.” — Mike Flannery, FOX 32 News Chicago “How to Murder Your Wealthy Lovers is in the historical true crime genre, but it is full of improbable turns and twists (to say nothing of trysts) that no author would dare include in a work of fiction. Minnie Wallace Walkup Ketcham’s criminal career as an unsung triple murderess and black widow—some of it in her own words—is told in rich detail and with pleasingly dark wit.” — Keven McQueen, author of Horror in the Heartland and Creepy California
TRUE CRIME
How to Murder Your Wealthy Lovers and Get Away with It What’s a gal to do when her loaded lover is getting to be a nuisance? Why, just murder him and take all his money, of course. If you want to be fabulously single with tons of cash, just follow the lead of the beautiful and conniving Minnie Wallace Walkup Ketcham, who left a trail of broken hearts, empty wallets, and corpses. Minnie was just 16 when she stood trial for the wrongful death of her first husband, a successful businessman and politician almost 40 years her senior. Despite overwhelming witness testimony that the Creole beauty from New Orleans had purchased the arsenic that killed him, Minnie’s own testimony brought the entire courtroom to tears. Minnie returned to New Orleans with James Walkup’s fortune, life insurance, Civil War pension, and all the expensive clothes she had shipped home before he even died. Minnie still didn’t have enough cash for her liking, so she successfully targeted, seduced, and murdered two more wealthy older men while evading justice in the courtroom (and escaping her lawyer’s fees, too). JANE SIMON AMMESON is the author of 13 books including Hauntings of the Underground Railroad: Ghosts of the Midwest, Murders that Made Headlines: Crimes of Indiana, and A Jazz Age Murder in Northwest Indiana. She writes about travel, food, murders, and history for many publications, including weekly columns in the Herald Palladium and the Times of Northwest Indiana.

Muehlenbeck, George Washington University “Andrew Bacevich is one of contemporary America’s most prolific and courageous academic public intellectuals.

Inside Al-Shabaab The Secret History of Al-Qaeda’s Most Powerful Ally
BY HARUN MARUF & DAN JOSEPH
Politics, Middle East Worldwide rights 305 pgs, 6 x 9 “The definitive history of the Somali militant group, rich with newly disclosed details about the group’s genesis and its ties to al-Qaeda. It’s a great introduction for those new to the topic, but it’s also a landmark work and absolutely required reading for those who study and work to counter terrorism.” —JM Berger, author of Extremism and coauthor of ISIS: The State of Terror “For years I studied and assessed Al-Shabaab in Somalia, and Harun Maruf was my go-to source on the terror group and the Horn of Africa. This book reveals insights I’ve never seen during my 15 years in counterterrorism—an excellent work.” — Clinton Watts, Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy Research Institute

One of the most powerful Islamic militant groups in Africa, Al-Shabaab exerts Taliban-like rule over millions in Somalia and poses a growing threat to stability in the Horn of Africa. Inside Al-Shabaab: The Secret History of Al-Qaeda's Most Powerful Ally recounts the rise, fall, and resurgence of this overlooked terrorist organization and provides an intimate understanding of its connections with Al-Qaeda. Drawing from interviews with former Al-Shabaab militants, including highranking officials, military commanders, police, and foot soldiers, authors Harun Maruf and Dan Joseph reveal the motivations of those who commit their lives to the group and its violent jihadist agenda. A wealth of sources including US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks, letters taken from the Pakistani hideout of Osama bin Laden, case files from the prosecution of American Al-Shabaab members, emails from Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, and Al-Shabaab's own statements and recruiting videos inform Maruf and Joseph's investigation of the United States' relationship to Al-Shabaab and how the 2006 US-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia gave the group the popular support it needed to radicalize ordinary citizens and become a powerful movement. HARUN MARUF is Senior Editor in Voice of America’s Somali Service and has been covering Somalia and its struggles with war, terrorism, piracy, and drought since the early 1990s. With more than 100,000 followers, Maruf is the most followed Somali journalist on Twitter and a primary source of news to many people in the Horn of Africa.

The Untold True Story of the Hampstead Murderess
BY SARAH BETH HOPTON
TRUE CRIME
Woman at the Devil's Door
Discover the haunting untold true story of the woman whose crimes inspired speculation that Jack the Ripper was a woman.
True Crime Worldwide rights 240 pgs, 23 b&w illus., 6 x 9
On October 24, 1890, a woman was discovered on a pile of rubbish in Hampstead, North London. Her arms were lacerated and her face bloodied; her head was severed from her body save a few sinews. Later that day, a bloodsoaked stroller was found leaning against a residential gate, and the following morning the dead body of a baby was found hidden underneath a nettle bush. So began the chilling story of the Hampstead Tragedy. Eventually, Scotland Yard knocked on the door of No. 2 Priory Street, home to Mary Eleanor Pearcey, the pretty 24-year-old mistress whose dying request was as bizarre and mysterious as her life. Woman at the Devil’s Door is a thrilling look at this notorious murderer and the webs she wove. SARAH BETH HOPTON came by her love of crime writing honestly; her father was a detective and a graduate of Quantico FBI Academy, and he shared his love of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes with her at an early age. She grew up visiting her dad at the county jail and pouring over his old, unsolved case files or eating a Snickers bar with Old Smokey, the beloved District Attorney who told tall tales about the rural county's many criminal shenanigans. Hopton is currently Assistant Professor at Appalachian State University. When she’s not in the archives tracking down the next case, she’s working her organic homestead with her partner and their dogs, pigs, chickens, too many ducks, rabbits, and rascally fainting goat named after her dad, Bob. Woman at the Devil’s Door is her debut book.

Calculated Risk: The Supersonic Life and Times of Gus Grissom Revised and Expanded
BY GEORGE LEOPOLD
Space, Biography Worldwide rights 394 pgs, 6 x 9 “George Leopold’s Calculated Risk: The Supersonic Life and Times of Gus Grissom rescues its subject’s reputation by presenting his life and career in full. The book is fascinating and haunting, and its impressive research exonerates Grissom from the charge of being a hapless astronaut who, in his peers’ parlance, ‘screwed the pooch’ . . . thrillingly told, taking readers into the cosmos with Grissom, conveying the sense of wonder and danger that accompanied these early voyages.” — The Wall Street Journal “Calculated Risk fills an important space history gap. Most books covering the Apollo 1 fire—a turning point in the Cold War and the Space Race in many ways—get a lot of detail wrong. This book is one of the best ever written on it in terms of accuracy.”
Unlike other American astronauts, Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom never had the chance to publish his memoirs—save for an account of his role in the Gemini program—before the tragic launch pad fire on January 27, 1967, which took his life and those of Edward White and Roger Chaffee. The international prestige of winning the Moon Race cannot be understated, and Grissom played a pivotal and enduring role in securing that legacy for the United States. Indeed, Grissom was first and foremost a Cold Warrior, a member of the first group of Mercury astronauts whose goal it was to beat the Soviet Union to the moon. Drawing on extensive interviews with fellow astronauts, NASA engineers, family members, and friends of Gus Grissom, George Leopold delivers a comprehensive survey of Grissom’s life that places his career in the context of the Cold War and the history of human spaceflight. Calculated Risk: The Supersonic Life and Times of Gus Grissom adds significantly to our understanding of that tumultuous period in American history. GEORGE LEOPOLD is a veteran technology journalist and science writer who has covered the nexus between technology and policy for over thirty years. Leopold has written extensively about U.S. manned spaceflight, including the Apollo and space shuttle programs. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the New Scientist, and a variety of other science and technology publications. He resides in Reston, Virginia.

Record-Setting Frequent Flyer BY JERRY L. ROSS, with JOHN NORBERG From the age of ten, looking up at the stars, Jerry Ross knew that he wanted to journey into space. This autobiography tells the story of how he came not only to achieve that goal, but to become the most-launched astronaut in history, as well as a NASA veteran whose career spanned the entire US Space Shuttle program. From his childhood in rural Indiana, through education at Purdue University, and a career in the US Air Force, Ross charted a path to NASA after overcoming many setbacks—from failing to qualify for Air Force pilot training because of “bad” eyesight, to an initial failure to be selected into the astronaut program.

This book is an insider’s account of the US Space Shuttle program, including the unforgettable experience of launch, the delights of weightless living, and the challenges of constructing the International Space Station. Ross is a uniquely qualified narrator. During seven spaceflights, he spent 1,393 hours in space, including 58 hours and 18 minutes on nine space walks. Life on the ground is also described, including the devastating experiences of the Challenger and Columbia disasters. Full of stories of spaceflight that few humans have ever experienced, told with humor and honesty, Spacewalker presents a unique perspective on the hard work, determination, and faith necessary to travel beyond this world. “As an astronaut for over three decades, one who participated in some of the most challenging and exciting Shuttle missions, Jerry Ross knows spaceflight. In Spacewalker, he details the exultation of actually being in space and brings to life the realities of preparing for and executing one of the most difficult of all human endeavors. Spacewalker is the book for anyone who ever dreamed of flying in space.” — Neil Armstrong, first Human on the Moon.

Thomas O. Paine grew up an ordinary boy in northern California during the Great Depression of the 1930s. He would go on to serve as NASA’s third administrator, leading the space agency through the first historic missions that sent astronauts on voyages away from Earth. On his watch, seven Apollo flights orbited our planet and five reached our moon.
Space, Biography Worldwide rights 314 pgs, 6 x 9 SUNNY TSIAO began his career as a Space Shuttle mission training instructor at the Johnson Space Center, and he has worked in aerospace and defense for over thirty years. Tsiao is the author of Read You Loud and Clear.
In 1985, the Reagan administration would call on Paine again to chair the nation’s first-ever National Commission on Space. The Paine Commission Report of 1986 challenged twenty-first-century America to “lead the exploration and development of the space frontier, advancing science, technology, and enterprise, and building institutions and systems that make accessible vast new resources and support human settlements beyond Earth orbit, from the highlands of the Moon to the plains of Mars.” In Piercing the Horizon, Sunny Tsiao masterfully delivers new insights into the behind-the-scenes drama of the space race, while at the same time providing provocative context to current conversations on the case for reaching Mars, settling our solar system, and continuing the exploration of space.

FOREWORD BY GENERAL ANTHONY ZINNI, USMC (RET.)
Military History, World War One Worldwide rights 360 pgs, 14 b&w illus., 14 maps, 6.125 x 9.25 “David Zabecki offers keen insights into the operational art of the forces, technology, logistics, and military culture of the armies that the six Allied and German generals headed.” —Holger Herwig, author of Long Night of the Tankers “Thoroughly researched and well written, The Generals’ War is without question the finest study of the operational aspects of the five German tactical actions that constituted the 1918 Ludendorff Offensive on the Western Front. Zabecki lays out the strategic decisions that produced the outcome and details the fighting itself, but his chief contribution is in his analysis of the decisions that determined the outcome and turned the tide of the war.” — Spencer C. Tucker, author of World War I: The Essential Reference Guide
12
Known as the war to end all wars and the Great War, World War I was the stage for a new form of mass destruction and violent chemical warfare. When the Bolsheviks pulled Russia out of the war in 1917, the Germans turned their offensive moves to the eastern front in hopes of winning the war in 1918. But as fresh American troops entered the front, the scales tipped against Germany. The General's War explores the military strategies of the most senior generals of the last year of the Great War. These six very different men included Germany's Field Marshals Paul von Hindenburg and General Erich Ludendorff; France's Marshals Ferdinand Foch and Philippe Petain; Great Britain's Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig; and the United States' General John Pershing. Although they may have not been known as great captains at the time, these six men determined how World War I played out on the battlefields of the western front between November 1917 and November 1918. DAVID T. ZABECKI (Lt. Gen. Ret) is author or editor of nine military history books and the assistant editor of several military history encyclopedias. He is editor of Vietnam Magazine, the Senior Historian of the Weider History Group, the world's largest publisher of history magazines, and author of numerous articles, book reviews, and encyclopedia entries, all dealing with military topics.

Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka Revised and Expanded Edition
HISTORY
The Operation Reinhard Death Camps BY YITZHAK ARAD Under the code name Operation Reinhard, more than one and a half million Jews were murdered between 1942 and 1943 in the concentration camps of Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka, located in Nazi-occupied Poland. Unlike more well-known camps, which were used both for slave labor and extermination, these camps existed purely to murder Jews. Few victims survived to tell their stories, and the camps were largely forgotten after they were dismantled in 1943. The Operation Reinhard Death Camps bears eloquent witness to this horrific tragedy. Holocaust, History Worldwide rights 560 pgs, 28 b&w illus., 4 maps, 6.125 x 9.25 "Drawing on a wealth of evidence . . . Arad lets the terrible record speak for itself... Mr. Arad's book, with its abundance of horrifying detail, reminds us of how far we have to go." —New York Times Book Review "With meticulous scholarship and precise exposition Tel Aviv historian and Yad Vashem director Arad recounts all facets of Operation Reinhard, the destruction of 1.5 million Jews in occupied Poland from 1941 to 1943. . . . This comprehensive, judicious, and moving history is a remarkable contribution to Holocaust studies and is strongly recommended." —Library Journal
This newly revised and expanded edition includes new material on the history of the Jews under German occupation in Poland; the execution and timing of Operation Reinhard; information about the ghettos in Lublin, Warsaw, Krakow, Radom, and Galicia; and updated numbers of the victims who were murdered during deportations. In addition to documenting the horror of the camps, Yitzhak Arad recounts the stories of those courageous enough to struggle against the Nazis and their “final solution.” Arad's work retrieves the experiences of Operation Reinhard's victims and survivors from obscurity and exposes a terrible chapter in humanity’s history. YITZHAK ARAD has written many books, including In the Shadow of the Red Banner, Ghetto in Flames: The Struggle and Destruction of the Jews in Vilna in the Holocaust, and Pictorial History of the Holocaust. He served as Director (Chairman of the Directorate) of the International Council of Yad Vashem, Holocaust Remembrance Authority, for 21 years.

Black Lives Matter and Music Protest, Intervention, Reflection
EDITED BY FERNANDO OREJUELA AND STEPHANIE SHONEKAN Foreword by Portia K. Maultsby
Ethnomusicology, African American Worldwide rights 136 pgs, 3 b&w illus., 6 x 9 “[This] volume is written from the heart of the BLM movement: the authors’ stance as politically committed, or engaged," scholars lends the work an immediacy poignantly buttressing its academic value.” —Paul Austerlitz, author of Jazz Consciousness: Music, Race, and Humanity
Music has always been integral to the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States, with songs such as Kendrick Lamar’s "Alright," J. Cole’s "Be Free," D’Angelo and the Vanguard "The Charade," The Game’s "Don’t Shoot," Janelle Monae’s "Hell You Talmbout," Usher’s "Chains," and many others serving as unofficial anthems and soundtracks for members and allies of the movement. In this collection of critical studies, contributors draw from ethnographic research and personal encounters to illustrate how scholarly research of, approaches to, and teaching about the role of music in the Black Lives Matter movement can contribute to public awareness of the social, economic, political, scientific, and other forms of injustices in our society. Each chapter in Black Lives Matter and Music focuses on a particular case study, with the goal to inspire and facilitate productive dialogues amongst scholars, students, and the communities we study. Black Lives Matter and Music provokes us to examine how we teach, how we conduct research, and ultimately, how we should think about the ways that black struggle, liberation, and identity have evolved in the United States and around the world. FERNANDO OREJUELA is Senior Lecturer and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University. He is the author of Rap Music and Hip Hop Culture.

A Theory of Virtual Agency for Western Art Music BY ROBERT S. HATTEN
Music Worldwide rights 400 pgs, 2 b&w illus., 6.125 x 9.25 “Robert Hatten’s A Theory of Virtual Agency for Western Art Music is a magisterial contribution to music theory. It is substantial in content; immensely wide-ranging in musical and critical reference; penetratingly thought through and argued; and superbly written and organized. It is a joy to watch the arc of Hatten's thought as it builds on his earlier writings and fulfills his trilogy of books.” —Michael Spitzer, author of Music as Philosophy “A brilliant tour de force concerning an issue at the forefront of musical meaning today: the problem of agency. This book could only be written by someone with a lifetime of experience and study.” — Michael Klein, author of Music and the Crises of the Modern Subject
16
In his third volume on musical expressive meaning, Robert S. Hatten examines virtual agency in music from the perspectives of movement, gesture, embodiment, topics, tropes, emotion, narrativity, and performance. Distinguished from the actual agency of composers and performers, whose intentional actions either create music as notated or manifest music as significant sound, virtual agency is inferred from the implied actions of those sounds, as they move and reveal tendencies within music-stylistic contexts. From our most basic attributions of sources for perceived energies in music, to the highest realm of our engagement with musical subjectivity, Hatten explains how virtual agents arose as distinct from actual ones, how unspecified actants can take on characteristics of (virtual) human agents, and how virtual agents assume various actorial roles. Along the way, Hatten demonstrates some of the musical means by which composers and performers from different historical eras have staged and projected various levels of virtual agency, engaging listeners imaginatively and interactively within the expressive realms of their virtual and fictional musical worlds. ROBERT S. HATTEN is Marlene and Morton Meyerson Professor in Music at The University of Texas at Austin and President (2017–19) of the Society for Music Theory. He is author of Musical Meaning in Beethoven: Markedness, Correlation, and Interpretation and Interpreting Musical Gestures, Topics, and Tropes: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert.

BY CAMISHA A. RUSSELL
Philosophy Worldwide rights 240 pgs, 6 x 9 "Camisha A. Russell makes a strong case that race has a history of practices, not just a history of ideas, and that eugenics is more central to these practices than we have assumed so far. I know of no other work that drives this point home as well as Russell's does, precisely thanks to her focus on assisted reproductive technologies." —Margret Grebowicz, author of Whale Song “An incisive use of bioethics, history of philosophy, and race theory to analyze a contemporary issue that is generally not understood as racialized—how the concept of race is conceived and utilized in assisted reproductive technology.” — Jacqueline Scott, editor of The Wiley Blackwell Companion to the Sociology of Families
The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART)–in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and gestational surrogacy– challenge contemporary notions of what it means to be parents or families. Camisha A. Russell argues that these technologies also bring new insight to ideas and questions surrounding race. In her view, if we think of ART as medical technology, we might be surprised by the importance that people using them put on race, especially given the scientific evidence that race lacks a genetic basis. However if we think of ART as an intervention to make babies and parents, as technologies of kinship, the importance placed on race may not be so surprising after all. Thinking about race in terms of technology brings together the common academic insight that race is a social construction with the equally important insight that race is a political tool which has been and continues to be used in different contexts for a variety of ends, including social cohesion, economic exploitation, and political mastery. As Russell explores ideas about race through their role in ART, she brings together social and political views to shift debates from what race is to what race does, how it is used, and what effects it has had in the world.

Óscar Romero’s Theological Vision Liberation and the Transfiguration of the Poor
BY EDGARDO COLÓN-EMERIC On March 24, 1980, Archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated as he celebrated mass in El Salvador. As the Catholic Church prepares to declare Romero a saint, Colón-Emeric explores the life and thought of Romero and his theological vision, which finds its focus in the mystery of the transfiguration.
Religion Worldwide rights 418 pgs, 6 x 9 “Though the life and tragic murder of St. Óscar Romero have garnered much attention, his theology needs further exploration. Edgardo Colón-Emeric’s fine study brings out the richness of Romero’s thinking on themes such as Christ, salvation, the church, and Christian hope. Richly connecting this contemporary martyr and saint to the ancient richness of Christian theology, Colón’s book demonstrates how Romero’s courageous defense of human rights sprang from a powerful theology of transfiguration.” —Michael Lee, Fordham University
18
Romero is now understood to be one of the founders of liberation theology, which interprets Scripture through the plight of the poor. His theological vision is most succinctly expressed by his saying, “Gloria Dei, vivens pauper”: “The glory of God is the poor who lives.” God’s glory was first revealed through Christ to a landless tenant farmer, a market woman, and an unemployed laborer, and they received the power to shine from the church to the world. Colón-Emeric’s study is an exercise in what Latino/a theologians call ressourcement from the margins, or a return to theological foundations. One of the first Latin American Church Fathers, Romero’s theological vision is a sign of the emergence of Christianity in the Global South from “reflection” Church to “source” Church. The hope for this study is that scholars in the fields of theology, religious studies, and Latin American studies will be captivated by the doctrine of this humble pastor and inspired to think more clearly and act more decisively in solidarity with the poor. EDGARDO COLÓN-EMERIC is assistant professor of Christian theology at Duke Divinity School.

Migrant Integration in a Changing Europe BY ROXANA BARBULESCU
Politics, Anthropology Worldwide rights 334 pgs, 6 x 9 “Migrant Integration in a Changing Europe is a smart, insightful, and original take on the state’s role in the process of immigrant integration. Supported by extensive evidence drawn from the Italian and Spanish cases, it challenges the prevailing scholarly wisdom in arguing that immigration integration strategies significantly vary across time, immigrant groups, and levels of government while offering compelling reasons for these variations.” —Anthony M. Messina, John R. Reitemeyer Professor, Trinity College
In this rich study, Roxana Barbulescu examines the transformation of state-led immigrant integration in two relatively new immigration countries in Western Europe: Italy and Spain. The book is comparative in approach and seeks to explain states’ immigrant integration strategies across national, regional, and citylevel decision and policy making. Barbulescu argues that states pursue no one-size-fitsall strategy for the integration of migrants, but rather simultaneously pursue multiple strategies that vary greatly for different groups. Two main integration strategies stand out. The first one targets non-European citizens and is assimilationist in character and based on interventionist principles according to which the government actively pursues the inclusion of migrants. The second strategy targets EU citizens and is a laissez-faire scenario where foreigners enjoy rights and live their entire lives in the host country without the state or the local authorities seeking their integration. The empirical material in the book, dating from 1985 to 2015, includes systematic analyses of immigration laws, integration policies and guidelines, historical documents, original interviews with policy makers, and statistical analysis based on data from the European Labor Force Survey. While the book draws on evidence from Italy and Spain in an effort to bring these case studies to the core of fundamental debates on immigration and citizenship studies, its broader aim is to contribute to a better understanding of state interventionism in immigrant integration in contemporary Europe. The book will be a useful text for students and scholars of global immigration, integration, citizenship, European integration, and European society and culture.

PHILOSOPHY
Heidegger and the Problem of Consciousness BY NANCY J. HOLLAND
Philosophy Worldwide rights 168 pgs, 1 b&w illus., 6 x 9 “A nuanced and convincing reading of Heidegger on the question of the mind-body duality.” —Leonard Lawlor, author of Early Twentieth Century Continental Philosophy
20
Nancy J. Holland turns to the thought of Martin Heidegger to help understand an age-old philosophical question: Is there a split between the body and the mind? Arguing against philosophical positions that define human consciousness as an overarching phenomenon or reduce it to the brain or physicality, Holland contends that consciousness is relational and it is this relationship that allows us to inhabit and negotiate in the world. Holland forwards a complex and nuanced reading of Heidegger as she focuses on consciousness, being, and what might constitute the animal or, more broadly, other-than-human world. Holland engages with the depth and breadth of Heidegger’s work as she opens space for a discussion about the uniqueness of human consciousness. NANCY J. HOLLAND is Hanna Professor of Philosophy at Hamline University. She is author of Ontological Humility: Lord Voldemort and the Philosophers.

Deconstructing Video Games, Games Studies, and Virtual Worlds

GAMING
Gaming the System
Gaming the System takes continental philosophical traditions out of the ivory tower and into the virtual worlds of video games. In this book, author David J. Gunkel explores how philosophical traditions—put forth by noted thinkers such as Plato, Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, and Žižek—can help us explore and conceptualize recent developments in video games, game studies, and virtual worlds. Furthermore, Gunkel interprets computer games as doing philosophy, arguing that the game world is a medium that provides opportunities to model and explore fundamental questions about the nature of reality, personal identity, social organization, and moral conduct. By using games to investigate and innovate in the area of philosophical thinking, Gunkel shows how areas such as game governance and manufacturers’ terms of service agreements actually grapple with the social contract and produce new postmodern forms of social organization that challenge existing modernist notions of politics and the nation state. In this critically engaging study, Gunkel considers virtual worlds and video games as more than just "fun and games," presenting them as sites for new and original thinking about some of the deepest questions concerning the human experience. DAVID J. GUNKEL is Distinguished Teaching Professor of Communication Technology at Northern Illinois University. He is author or editor of seven books, including Thinking Otherwise: Philosophy, Communication, Technology, The Machine Question: Critical Perspectives on AI, Robots, and Ethics, and Of Remixology: Ethics and Aesthetics After Remix.

ANTROPOLOGY
Power Struggles Dignity, Value, and the Renewable Energy Frontier in Spain
BY JAUME FRANQUESA Wind energy is often portrayed as a panacea for the environmental and political ills brought on by an overreliance on fossil fuels, but this characterization may ignore the impact wind farms have on the regions that host them. Power Struggles investigates the uneven allocation of risks and benefits in the relationship between the regions which produce this energy and those which consume it.
Anthropology, Environmental Worldwide rights 336 pgs, 8 b&w illus., 2 maps, 6 x 9 “Franquesa’s historical anthropology of energy in southern Catalonia is both engagingly written and thought-provoking. He convincingly demonstrates that the social sciences have been wrong in relegating energy to a “natural” domain that is imagined to be external to their field of interest. The seemingly innocent harnessing of natural forces is always a matter of displacing environmental burdens onto marginalized social groups.” — Alf Hornborg, author of Global Magic: Technologies of Appropriation from Ancient Rome to Wall Street
Jaume Franquesa considers Spain, a country where wind now constitutes the main source of energy production. In particular, he looks at the Southern Catalonia region, which has traditionally been a source of energy production through nuclear reactors, dams, oil refineries, and gas and electrical lines. Despite providing energy that runs the country, the region is still forced to the political and economic periphery as the power they produce is controlled by centralized, international Spanish corporations. Local resistance to wind farm installation in Southern Catalonia relies on the notion of dignity: the ability to live within one’s means and according to one’s own decisions. Power Struggles shows how, without careful attention, renewable energy production can reinforce patterns of exploitation even as it promises a fair and hopeful future. JAUME FRANQUESA is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York. He is author of Urbanismo Neoliberal, Negocio Inmobiliario y Vida Vecinal (Neoliberal Planning, Real Estate and Neighborhood Life).

“one of the best [books on genocide studies] that I have read in a long time” — Carol Rittner, author of Rape: Weapon of War and Genocide
The genocides of modern history--Rwanda, Armenia, Guatemala, the Holocaust, and countless others--and their effects have been well documented, but how do the experiences of female victims and perpetrators differ from those of men? In Women and Genocide, human rights advocates and scholars come together to argue that the memory of trauma is gendered and that women’s voices and perspectives are key to our understanding of the dynamics that emerge in the context of genocidal violence. The contributors of this volume examine how women consistently are targets for the sexualized violence that serves as an instrument of ethnic cleansing, how female perpetrators take advantage of the new power structures, and how women are involved in the struggle for justice in postgenocidal contexts. By placing women at center stage, Women and Genocide helps us to better understand the nexus existing between misogyny and violence in societies where genocide erupts.

“…a crucial study that will move discussion forward in games studies.” — Paul Booth, author of Time on TV: Temporal Displacement and Mashup Television “…a rigorous investigation of the temporality produced by games.” — Timothy Barker, author of Time and the Digital: Connecting Technology, Aesthetics, and a Process Philosophy of Time
24
Video game scholar Christopher Hanson argues that the mechanics of time in digital games have presented a new model for understanding time in contemporary culture, a concept he calls game time. Multivalent in nature, game time is characterized by apparent malleability, navigability, and possibility while simultaneously being highly restrictive and requiring replay and repetition. Hanson demonstrates that compared to analog tabletop games, sports, film, television, and other forms of media, the temporal structures of digital games provide unique opportunities to engage players with liveness, causality, potentiality, and lived experience that create new ways of experiencing time. Featuring comparative analysis of key video games titles including Braid, Quantum Break, Battle of the Bulge, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Passage, The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, Lifeline, and A Dark Room.

“Anyone who thinks they know Welles will have their eyes opened [by this book].” —Paul Heyer, author of The Medium and the Magician: Orson Welles, the Radio Years
Through his radio and film works, such as The War of the Worlds and Citizen Kane, Orson Welles became a household name in the United States. Yet Welles’s multifaceted career went beyond these classic titles and included lesser-known but nonetheless important contributions to television, theater, newspaper columns, and political activism. Orson Welles in Focus: Texts and Contexts examines neglected areas of Welles’s work, shedding light on aspects of his art that have been eclipsed by a narrow focus on his films. By positioning Welles’s work during a critical period of his activity (the mid-1930s through the 1950s) in its larger cultural, political, aesthetic, and industrial contexts, the contributors to this volume examine how he participated in and helped to shape modern media. This exploration of Welles in his totality illuminates and expands our perception of his contributions that continue to resonate today.

PHILOSOPHY
Political Philosophy and the Republican Future Reconsidering Cicero GREGORY BRUCE SMITH
Philosophy Worldwide rights 428 pgs, 6 x 9 “The fragmentation of knowledge among competing schools in our time is not unlike the competing schools of philosophy confronting Cicero. This fragmentation—in his time and ours—manifests itself in the loss of public space. Without a public space—rooted in the phenomena of a shared public life— there can be no genuine knowledge and no free and active political life. In penetrating analysis, Gregory Bruce Smith engages Cicero as a master of the phenomenological method presented here and as a republican statesman opening opportunities for citizens—not subjects—to shape their own future.” —Christopher A. Colmo, Dominican University
26
Are we moving inevitably into an irreversible era of postnationalism and globalism? In Political Philosophy and the Republican Future, Gregory Bruce Smith asks, if participation in self-government is not central to citizens’ vision of the political good, is despotism inevitable? Smith’s study evolves around reconciling the early republican tradition in Greece and Rome as set out by authors such as Aristotle and Cicero, and a more recent tradition shaped by thinkers such as Machiavelli, Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, Madison, and Rousseau. Gregory Smith adds a further layer of complexity by analyzing how the republican and the larger philosophical tradition have been called into question by the critiques of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and their various followers. For Smith, the republican future rests on the future of the tradition of political philosophy. In this book he explores the nature of political philosophy and the assumptions under which that tradition can be an ongoing tradition rather than one that is finished. He concludes that political philosophy must recover its phenomenological roots and attempt to transcend the self-legislating constructivism of modern philosophy. Forgetting our past traditions, he asserts, will only lead to despotism, the true enemy of all permutations of republicanism. Cicero’s thought is presented as a classic example of the phenomenological approach to political philosophy. A return to the architectonic understanding of political philosophy exemplified by Cicero is, Smith argues, the key to the republican future. GREGORY BRUCE SMITH is professor of political science and philosophy at Trinity College. He is the author of a number of books, including Nietzsche, Heidegger and the Transition to Postmodernity and Martin Heidegger: Paths Taken, Paths Opened.

Martin Buber’s Theopolitics BY SAMUEL HAYIM BRODY
Philosopy Worldwide rights 408 pgs, 6 x 9
“Brilliantly conceived, well-written, filled with deep readings and analysis.” —Michael L. Morgan, author of Levinas’s Ethical Politics
How did one of the greatest Jewish thinkers of the 20th century grapple with the founding of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict— one of the most significant political conflicts of his time? Samuel Hayim Brody traces the development of Martin Buber’s thinking and its implications for the Jewish religion, for the problems posed by Zionism, and for the Zionist-Arab conflict. Beginning in turbulent Weimar Germany, Brody shows how Buber’s debates about Biblical meanings had concrete political consequences for anarchists, socialists, Zionists, Nazis, British, and Palestinians alike. Brody further reveals how Buber’s passionate commitment to the rule of God absent an intermediary came into conflict in the face of a Zionist movement in danger of repeating ancient mistakes. Brody argues that Buber’s support for Israel stemmed from a radically rich and complex understanding of the nature of the Jewish mission on earth that arose from an anarchist reading of the Bible. SAMUEL HAYIM BRODY is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Kansas. He is editor of Martin Buber Werkausgabe, volume 15.

Jorgensen, author of The Art of Teaching Music and Transforming Music Education.
How do globalization and internationalization impact music education around the world? By acknowledging different cultural values and priorities, Alexandra Kertz-Welzel’s vision challenges the current state of international music education and higher education, which has been dominated by English-language scholarship. Her framework utilizes an interdisciplinary approach and emphasizes the need for developing a pluralistic mode of thinking, while underlining shared foundations and goals. She explores issues of educational transfer, differences in academic discourses worldwide, and the concept of the global mindset to help facilitate much-needed transformations in global music education. This thinking and research, she argues, provides a means for better understanding global transfers of knowledge and ways to avoid culturally and linguistically hegemonic standards. Globalizing Music Education: A Framework is a timely call to action for a more conscious internationalization of music education in which everyone can play a part.

POLITICS
Generation Stalin
Generation Stalin traces Joseph Stalin’s rise as a dominant figure in French political culture from the 1930s through the 1950s. Andrew Sobanet brings to light the crucial role French writers played in building Stalin’s cult of personality and in disseminating Stalinist propaganda in the international Communist sphere, including within the USSR. Based on a wide array of sources--literary, cinematic, historical, and archival--Generation Stalin situates in a broad cultural context the work of the most prominent intellectuals affiliated with the French Communist Party, including Goncourt winner Henri Barbusse, Nobel laureate Romain Rolland, renowned poet Paul Eluard, and canonical literary figure Louis Aragon. Generation Stalin arrives at a pivotal moment, with the Stalin cult and elements of Stalinist ideology resurgent in twenty-firstcentury Russia, and authoritarianism on the rise around the world. ANDREW SOBANET is Associate Professor of French at Georgetown University. He is the author of Jail Sentences: Representing Prison in Twentieth-Century French Fiction.

The Identitarians The Movement against Globalism and Islam in Europe
BY JOSÉ PEDRO ZÚQUETE
Politics, Anthropology Worldwide rights 480 pgs, 6 x 9 “The Identitarian movement represents a serious challenge to contemporary Western democracies, though it remains mysterious to most political observers. With The Identitarians, José Pedro Zúquete has established himself as the world’s leading expert on the subject. Thorough, dispassionate, and readable, The Identitarians helps us make sense of this disruptive political moment. It will be the most useful and important resource on this subject for many years to come.” —George Hawley, University of Alabama
The Identitarians are a quickly growing ethnocultural transnational movement that, in diverse forms, originated in France and Italy and has spread into southern, central, and northern Europe. This timely and important study presents the first book-length analysis of this anti-globalist and anti-Islamic movement. José Pedro Zúquete, one of the leading experts in this field, studies intellectuals, social movements, young activists, and broader trends to demonstrate the growing strength and alliances among these once disparate groups fighting against perceived Islamic encroachment and rising immigration. The Identitarian intellectual and activist uprising has been a source of inspiration beyond Europe, and Zúquete ties the European experience to the emerging American Alt Right, in the limelight for their support of President Trump and recent public protests on university campuses across the United States. Zúquete presents the multifaceted Identitarian movement on its own terms. He delves deep into the Identitarian literature and social media, covering different geographic contexts and drawing from countless primary sources in different European languages, while simultaneously including many firsthand accounts, testimonies, and interviews with theorists, sympathizers, and activists. The Identitarians investigates a phenomenon that will become increasingly visible on both sides of the Atlantic as European societies become more multicultural and multiethnic, and as immigration from predominantly Muslim nations continues to grow. The book will be of interest to Europeanists, political scientists, sociologists, and general readers interested in political extremism and contemporary challenges to liberal democracies.

Tradition, Individualism, and the Crisis of Freedom
BY MARK T. MITCHELL In The Limits of Liberalism, Mark T. Mitchell argues that a rejection of tradition is both philosophically incoherent and politically harmful. This false conception of tradition helps to facilitate both liberal cosmopolitanism and identity politics. The incoherencies are revealed through an investigation of the works of Michael Oakeshott, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Michael Polanyi.
Philosophy Worldwide rights 354 pgs, 6 x 9
PHILOSOPHY
The Limits of Liberalism
Mitchell demonstrates that the rejection of tradition as an epistemic necessity has produced a false conception of the human person—the liberal self—which in turn has produced a false conception of freedom. This book identifies why most modern thinkers have denied the essential role of tradition and explains how tradition can be restored to its proper place.
“This is a very good book and a welcome voice in a time when, it seems, both reason and tradition are being relegated to the sidelines. The general argument of the book is presented with a kind of clarity that is rare in political theory. The argument of the book is complicated, but Mitchell makes it seem easy. His prose is clear, his argument always easy to follow. Mitchell’s expertise is abundantly evident.”
Oakeshott, MacIntyre, and Polanyi all, in various ways, emphasize the necessity of tradition, and although these thinkers approach tradition in different ways, Mitchell finds useful elements within each to build an argument for a reconstructed view of tradition and, as a result, a reconstructed view of freedom. Mitchell argues that only by finding an alternative to the liberal self can we escape the incoherencies and pathologies inherent therein.
—Richard Avramenko, University of Wisconsin-Madison
This book will appeal to undergraduates, graduate students, professional scholars, and educated laypersons in the history of ideas and late modern culture. MARK T. MITCHELL is the chair of the government department at Patrick Henry College.

Drawing on testimonies, memoirs, and personal interviews of Holocaust survivors, Françoise S. Ouzan reveals how the experience of Nazi persecution impacted their personal reconstruction, rehabilitation, and reintegration into a free society. She sheds light on the life trajectories of various groups of Jews, including displaced persons, partisan fighters, hidden children, and refugees from Nazism. Ouzan show that personal success is not only a unifying factor among these survivors, but is part of an ethos that unified ideas of homeland, social justices, togetherness, and individual aspirations in the redemptive experience. Exploring how Holocaust survivors rebuilt their lives after World War II, Ouzan show how they coped with adversity and psychic trauma to contribute to the culture and society of the country of residence. “Far from painting all survivors with a broad brush, Francoise S. Ouzan’s careful ear and nuanced writing demonstrates that survivors have coped with their wartime trauma, loss of family, beginning lives anew, and more in various ways that cannot be easily categorized or simply generalized. Few works have done what this one does.” —Avinoam Patt, author of Finding Home and Homeland

On May 30, 1958, thousands of racing fans poured into the infield at dawn to claim the best seats of the Indianapolis 500, unaware that they were going to witness one of the most notorious wrecks in racing history. Seconds after the green flag, a game of chicken spiraled out of control into a fiery 16-car pile-up that claimed the life of 29-year-old Indiana native and rising star Pat O’Connor. The other drivers escaped death, but the tragic 1958 Indy 500 seemed to leave its mark on them: the surviving drivers were hounded by accidents and terrible crashes, and most would die at tracks around the country. But the tragedy also prompted new regulations and safety precautions like roll bars that would ultimately save hundreds of lives.

In 2016, Britain stunned itself and the world by voting to pull out of the European Union, leaving financial markets reeling and global politicians and citizens in shock. But was Brexit really a surprise, or are there clues in Britain’s history that pointed to this moment? In A History of Britain: 1945 to the Brexit, award-winning historian Jeremy Black reexamines modern British history, considering the social changes, economic strains, and cultural and political upheavals that brought Britain to Brexit. This sweeping and engaging book traces Britain’s path through the destruction left behind by World War II, Thatcherism, the threats of the IRA, the Scottish referendum, and on to the impact of waves of immigration from the European Union. Black overturns many conventional interpretations of significant historical events, provides context for current developments, and encourages the reader to question why we think the way we do about Britain’s past.

On Islam
Muslims and the Media EDITED BY ROSEMARY PENNINGTON AND HILARY E. KAHN
Rosemary Pennington. She is Assistant Professor of Journalism at Miami University. Hilary E. Kahn is Director of the Voices and Visions Project, and Director of the Center for the Study of Global Change in the School of Global and International Studies at Indiana University.
In the constant deluge of media coverage on Islam, Muslims are often portrayed as terrorists, refugees, radicals, or victims, depictions that erode human responses of concern, connection, or even a willingness to learn about Muslims. On Islam helps break this cycle with information and strategies to understand and report the modern Muslim experience. Journalists, activists, bloggers, and scholars offer insights into how Muslims are represented in the media today and offer tips for those covering Islam in the future. Interviews provide personal and often moving firsthand accounts of people confronting the challenges of modern life while maintaining their Muslim faith, and brief overviews provide a crash course on Muslim beliefs and practices. A concise and frank discussion of the Muslim experience, Re-Scripting Islam provides facts and perspective at a time when truth in journalism is more vital than ever.
“This book goes a long way in combating Islamophobia and exposing how media representations often exacerbate the ignorant fear of Islam and Muslims.” —Publishers Weekly
