Menopause

Metabolic Syndrome

Physician’s Reference

Susan R. Davis, editor

Anthony H. Barnett, editor

Menopause is a normal part of aging women. Menopause is the time when a woman experiences her last menstrual period as a part of normal ageing, and the ovaries run out of eggs, or ova. There is a large drop in the production of oestrogen by the ovaries at menopause, and the resulting fall in hormones can affect many other organ systems.

Metabolic syndrome defines a clustering of major cardiovascular risk factors, in association with central obesity or overweight.

This presentation helps in understanding the aetiology, symptoms and signs of menopause and its management. SUSAN R. DAVIS, MBBS, FRACP, PHD, is a National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Women’s Health at Monash University. She has published extensively on women’s health research and education, with particular focus on the consequences of sex steroid deficiency and sex steroid therapy in women, and identifying modifiable factors that improve the health and wellbeing of women in middle and later life. Prof. Davis was a member of Monash University Council from 2005–07 and is the past President of the Australasian Menopause Society. She has published over 200 peer reviewed manuscripts and has been an invited lecturer at over 100 international conferences. She has been the recipient of numerous awards including an NHMRC Research Scholarship from 1986–88, the Robert Greenblatt Prize for Research of the International Menopause Society (1993), Barbara Gross Award of the Australasian Menopause Society (2002), and the Australasian Menopause Society Annual Scientific Awards for 2006 and 2008.

There is a link between insulin resistance and hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and other metabolic abnormalities that increase an individual’s risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. This animation describes this syndrome and the pharmacotherapeutic focus on multiple risk factor intervention using combinations of antihypertensives, low dose aspirin, statins and antihyperglycaemic agents for diabetes as also targeting the underlying insulin resistance. ANTHONY H. BARNETT, MD, FRCP, is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Birmingham, running one of the biggest Diabetes Units in the United Kingdom. He is the Consultant Physician and Clinical Director of Diabetes and Endocrinology at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. His research activities focus on genetics of diabetes and other “complex” diseases, causes for complications during diabetes as well as development of new therapies to treat diabetes and associated vascular complications.

Stable angina is a condition where the pain is caused by a fixed blockage in the coronary artery which starves the muscle of oxygen.

Stroke is a medical emergency that happens when a blood clot blocks an artery, or a blood vessel ruptures, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. Brain cells begin to die and the resulting damage can lead to paralysis on one side or loss of ability to speak.

A disease marked by high levels of glucose in the blood, Type 2 diabetes occurs when either the body does not produce enough insulin or when the cells does not respond to insulin.

This animation on stable angina describes the heart, coronary arteries, types of angina, followed by a graphic elucidation of atherosclerosis, and angina.

Hillsboro

NEW TITLES

“I first came to New Mexico in the summer of 1969, driving into Taos in the late afternoon in an old VW convertible. I had gone to school in Boulder, and the West had been deeply imprinted on me. My master’s thesis was on D. H. Lawrence, and this had made me wonder what effect this magical land would have on me. It didn’t disappoint. Almost immediately, I fell in love with this difficult, demanding, dark, and profound world. All that we take for granted having lived here—the beautiful, slanting afternoon light, the Sangre de Cristos turning a deep red as the sun starts to disappear, sagebrush plains stretching far to the west—all of this greeted me when I first arrived in Taos, and I felt that, after many years, I was finally home.” —Jack Parsons, from his preface “Among the things I admire about the photographs of Jack Parsons is that he is not afraid of the picturesque. He has not retreated from it nor found some arch way around it. Instead, Parsons walks right up to his subjects and points his lens at mountains, sunsets, cloud formations, weathered buildings, and Hispanic art. But he does so in ways that require us to really look at these things and ponder the meanings embedded in those very picturesque aspects of New Mexico that bring visitors out here while they turn many other artists away. . . . It takes an artist to evoke this long and continually unfolding drama, yet in virtually every one of the images contained in these pages it is here for us to discover. But we have to be willing to look past the picturesque.” —Frederick Turner, from his introduction

The Last Launch NEW TITLES

Messages in the Bottle Yi-Fu Tuan The last book by one of the world’s most decorated geographers!

Can Yi-Fu Tuan, one of the world’s most decorated geographers, from the aspen glow of retirement and a distinguished career, hold the interest of young readers who themselves are just now embarking on their own sojourns into the larger world? The question is all the more important for Professor Tuan, because the topic of his last book, his ‘last launch,’ is human life itself—what it means to be human and how we humans can reach our full potential in the brief period we live on Earth. Professor Tuan, like the curious child on a familiar beach, has made his last launch a personal voyage in which he sends messages in a bottle presented as a book. Securely corked, the bottle is cast into the vast sea before finding its resting ground in the hands of another, who discovers the bottle on a foreign shore. Contained within the bottle are sixteen messages never before published. They represent Professor Tuan’s last conversation, his last meal, with his readers. The messages that Professor Tuan presents involve his final thoughts about childhood and education, about the relationship between space, place, and time, and about understanding social reality and our attitudes toward nature and religion. But, ultimately, The Last Launch is about doing good, a recurrent theme in this master scholar’s work. Although we humans, by nature, are flawed beings, Professor Tuan affirms that we are also the most subtly complex beings in the solar system, if not in the Milky Way. All of us are endowed with keen senses and some with even keener minds that enable us to savor the wonders of this world that is our earthly home. Moreover, we humans, by nature, are moral beings who find fulfillment and happiness in Goodness. Since evil—as the fact of suffering, misfortune, and wrongdoing—does not disdain from inflicting the slightest hurt or harm, we must not miss any opportunity to do good, Professor Tuan urges, however inconsequential the doing may seem at the time.

By doing good and in living a life fully, one senses that we are engaged in something larger than ourselves, that we may well be in a cosmic struggle for life in which there is no trifling player among us. Everyone and everything on Earth counts. Thus, doing good in one’s life is the ultimate form of human love and caring.

Awards for Professor Yi-Fu Tuan: Award for Meritorious Contribution to the Association of American Geographers, Bracken Award in Landscape Architecture, Bush Sabbatical Fellow, Cullum Geographical Medal of the American Geographical Society, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Fellow of the British Academy, Fulbright-Hays Senior Scholar to Australia, John K. Wright Endowed Professor of Geography, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow, Journal of Geography Award from the National Council for Geographic Education, Lauréat d’Honneur of the International Geographical Union, Phi Beta Kappa/Frank M. Updike Memorial Scholar, Rowman and Littlefield Author Lauréate, Stanley Brunn Award in Creativity from the Association of American Geographers, Vautrin Lud International Geography Prize (the ‘Nobel Prize’ in geography), Vilas Research Endowed Professor of Geography, Honorary Doctorate from the University of Guelf, and Honorary Doctorate from the University of Waterloo.

If we do not embrace this truth, is it because we fear the responsibility and accountability of doing good? Such are the questions to be found in Professor Tuan’s bottle, to be answered in his last launch. Lucky is the person forever young in spirit who picks up the bottle on the beach and reads and listens to its contents.

Excerpt: “I was in Panama in 1959 studying the coastline. I needed to go to a sandbar separated from the mainland by a stretch of mangrove swamp. I waited for the tide to withdraw, so I could walk across. Hours later, having completed my survey of the sandbar, I packed my notebooks, camera, and compass for the return trip. To my surprise, I was confronted by an unfamiliar landscape. A rising tide had covered the swamp in one-to-two feet of water, and I would have to wade through the water and mud to get back to solid land. As I reluctantly prepared myself to take on the tide, a young fisherman approached, pushing an old bike. On its handlebar was a row of fish, which he no doubt intended to sell on the mainland. He spoke a language I didn’t understand. His gestures, however, made it clear that he wanted me to sit on his bike so that he could push me through the swamp. He had to push hard. I could see his strained muscles and smell his sweat. As soon as we reached dry land, I got off the bike and dug into my wallet for a few dollars to give him. I looked through the sheaf of bills to find the right amount. When I turned around, he was nowhere to be seen. I have never forgotten his kindness. He was doing good.”—Yi-Fu Tuan, from his chapter “Encounters with Goodness”

Route 66 NEW TITLES

Iconography of the American Highway, the Commemorative Edition Arthur Krim Edited by Denis Wood The official book catalog of the Route 66 exhibition opening in Los Angeles at the Autry National Center in June 2014 and winner of the J. B. Jackson Prize for the Best Book in Cultural Geography!

Route 66 was the iconic highway of twentieth-century America, stretching from downtown Chicago to the Mississippi River at East St. Louis and proceeding through the Indian lands of Oklahoma and the Southwest to Los Angeles and the Pacific Coast, connecting Americans physically and culturally. In this engaging, meticulously researched, and fully illustrated study, Arthur Krim explores the fascinating history and complex symbolism behind this most famous American highway—both on the ground and in the mind.

Route 66 traces the iconography of US 66 first as an idea, then as a fact, and finally as an enduring symbol found in classic American books and films, songs and television programs, and pop art. While the antecedents of Route 66 are to be found in the prehistoric trade and hunting paths of the Indian peoples, in the Spanish expeditions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the wagon trails and in railroad routes of the nineteenth century, construction of Route 66 during the twentieth century ushered in the revolutionary era of the modern American highway and of cross-country automobile travel. In his innovative study, Krim discloses how the highway transcended its gravel and concrete physicality to become an enduring metaphor for the American spirit of exploration and discovery, freedom and hope that is historically found by its people heading west. He draws on a wealth of scholarly and visual materials to examine how Route 66 evolved through each passing generation, from Main Street boosters during the road’s early development to John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath during the Dust Bowl years, from Bobby Troup’s unforgettable ‘(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66’ to renditions of the song by Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones during the early rock and roll years, from Jack Kerouac’s classic book, On the Road, to the cult film, ‘Easy Rider,’ and the television drama, ‘Route 66,’ during the pop culture years, to recent regional and mass-marketing advertising of products that rely on the transcendent Route 66 name. Combining history and geography, metaphor and captivating iconography, Krim reveals how Route 66 compressed disparate socio-economic events, traditional democratic ideals, and emerging cultural ideas into the national memory of Route 66 that prevails today. Route 66, now available in an elegant paperback edition, is a pioneering book not to be missed.

Praise for Route 66:

NEW TITLES

“The road is gone, but it will hardly be forgotten—thanks, in part, to the author’s labors. Since Mr. Krim delves into the historical at the expense of the breezy, some casual readers may find the amount of detail daunting, but others will be grateful for it. And the book will almost certainly be embraced by another group: future historians who seek a single-volume chronicle of the most famous stretch of highway in the U.S.” —Brock Yates, The Wall Street Journal “Krim’s book is a detailed examination of the making of an American icon in the context of its times. By drawing on a wealth of sources, Krim not only illuminates the complex symbolism of Route 66, but the complexities of the culture which the highway’s mythic aura emerged, expanded, and evolved from generation to generation.”—from the J. B. Jackson Prize Committee “For younger readers, Krim’s history might assume too much familiarity with a road that was, for much of the last century, the route to the promised land of California. But for those who remember Bobby Troup’s near-perfect rhyme of ‘Winona’ and ‘Arizona,” Route 66 is a fascinating account of the real people and real events that built a fabled road in our minds.”—Eric Jones, Wilson Quarterly “The author superbly presents the history behind the facts and images of Route 66...With a highly readable narrative enriched by many good maps and excellent photographs, Krim effectively demonstrates why the words ‘Route 66’ are ‘a generic symbol of the American road with great power both at home and abroad.’ There is much of value to the cultural geographer and all others interested in American symbols...Arthur Krim provides a wonderful reminder of symbolic Route 66 to one who has traveled the highway and a marvelous introduction to anyone planning on doing so.”—David E. Kromm, Journal of Cultural Geography “The fame of Route 66 is evidenced by the number of times these iconic double sixes show up in the titles of recently published road books. At least a half-dozen have appeared in the past decade alone. As yet another entry in the field, Krim is plowing well-tilled ground. But the angle of his approach is nonetheless insightful, a welcome departure from the manypictured guidebooks that direct the reader down a well-worn path past all the usual 66 roadside sights. Krim’s approach is decidedly historic and geographical, with at least as much text devoted to the cultural meaning and historic context of the route as to describe its physical evolution. He paints with a broad geographical brush, describing the route relative to the region and the nation, rather than the individual towns or businesses along the way. Illustrating this point, more than half of the twenty-seven maps in the book, some historic but many others drafted specifically for this volume, show some aspect of the route relative to either the entire United States or the western section it traverses. Krim does a masterful job linking together the institutions, agents, and artifacts that both exploited the idea of Route 66 and affirmed it as a cultural icon. He takes us from the 1928 Bunion Derby marathon, through the depression photography of Dorothea Lange and the words and images of The Grapes of Wrath, to the mimetic sign used by Phillips 66 gasoline and the recent reuse of that sign to sell a line of K-Mart apparel. . . . The remilling of the road’s identity through these cultural spin-offs came to define the image of the western highway in the American psyche. This well-illustrated book will be appreciated by fans of Route 66, the American highway, and cultural geography in general.”—Kevin Patrick, The Geographical Review

The New Heartland NEW TITLES

Looking for the American Dream Andrew Borowiec With essays by David Giffels and Eric Paddock A new landmark book of photography offers a fresh, razor-sharp view of contemporary American culture!

In many ways, Ohio is America’s quintessential heartland state, for what happens in Ohio happens throughout the United States. Ohio has been a bellwether swing state for the winning candidate in every presidential election since 1944 except one. It’s also the place where fast-food companies testmarket new products and the place where chewing gum, Teflon, and the first cash register, vacuum cleaner, airplane, traffic signal, and gas-powered automobile were invented. Even the state’s Division of Travel and Tourism has relied on “Ohio, the Heart of It All” as its popular motto since the Reagan years to attract visitors to the state.

Yet everything shifted after the 2004 presidential election, when political scientists and journalists looked more closely at the election results: Ohio was changing, just as America was changing. Big differences were noted between voters who lived in the cities and those who lived around the cities yet aligned with voters in rural areas. Andrew Borowiec, an eminent photographer based in Akron, took notice and headed out with his camera to take a closer look at the electoral map to be found on the ground. And what he found was astonishing. The once rolling farmlands that used to surround the cities and define Middle America were already giving way to vast suburban housing developments of nearly identical, hastily built single-family homes and mini-mansions with enormous garages and fancy yards. These were the new bedroom communities for longdistance commuters to the cities where there were jobs. And the traditional Main Streets of yore were rapidly being eclipsed by “lifestyle centers”: shopping malls filled with national chains whose commercial architecture is a cacophonous blend of multiple periods and styles that somehow blend into a fanciful display in which every detail is reproduced out of extruded foam, all of it designed to evoke an imagined past era of luxurious consumerism. Distinctive architectural and landscape styles of the region had given way to a ubiquitous culture of global marketing in which J. Crew was a more familiar name than James Joyce. Homogenization and conformity had won over the American dream in the new heartland. Andrew Borowiec’s work follows in the tradition of other legendary interpreters of American land and life—among them J. B. Jackson, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Robert Adams, and the other New Topographics photographers. He has used his keen eye and dedication to field work to give us a fresh, at times humorous, and ever razor-sharp view of what is going on in America today. There is a new heartland, a new American dream, and it can be found in the new residential and commercial landscapes of Ohio and the rest of America, if we choose to open our eyes and take a look.

“Andrew Borowiec’s photographs take stock of contemporary life in America’s heartland and explore how the way people shape their surroundings expresses our prevailing social and environmental attitudes, perceptions, and values. The book is not simply a critique or an analysis of current American culture; the specificity of Borowiec’s work reveals a sweet, simple, and irrefutable humanity that connects what we see with what we have experienced ourselves and insists that these pictures and the trends they describe belong, somehow, to all of us. The New Heartland recalls other landmark books in the history of photography. Robert Adams’s The New West (1973) leaps to mind, because Borowiec’s title echoes that of the earlier book and because both books wrestle with dichotomies: myth and reality, beauty and ugliness, gross social trends and real needs of ordinary people. Together, these two books demonstrate that the issues they address, however specific and local they may seem in the pictures, are as universal as they are persistent. The other books that seem to lurk in the background of The New Heartland are Walker Evans’s great American Photographs (1938) and the four-volume The Work of Atget (1981–1985) by John Szarkowski and Maria Morris Hambourg. The strong affinity I see among Borowiec, Evans, and Atget has mostly to do with their faith that simple facts about how things look, stated clearly and economically in photographs, possess a unique poetic power. Borowiec contributes to this tradition of careful looking, with photographs of supreme intelligence and wit. The New Heartland gives us a fresh look at American culture that partakes in an important artistic tradition.”—Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography, Denver Art Museum, and author of Belonging to the West

Honoring the Doughboys NEW TITLES

Following My Grandfather’s World War I Diary Jeffrey A. Lowdermilk With a foreword by Helen Patton An unforgettable tribute to the American doughboys of World War I on the 100th anniversary of the Great War!

Jeff Lowdermilk’s passion for World War I and of military history began as a lad when he listened to his grandfather, George A. Carlson, tell his life’s stories about serving as a ‘doughboy’ in Europe during the Great War. When his grandfather passed away in 1982, his mother gave Jeff her father’s amazing diary, which included not only lengthy descriptions of the landscapes, towns, and battles he experienced, but also heartfelt observations and insights about what life as a soldier—on the road and in battle and in the trenches—meant to all of Mr. Carlson’s buddies. Thus began Jeff Lowdermilk’s life-long quest to tell his grandfather’s story. JUNE 2014 Hardcover

As one can imagine, the young Lowdermilk became fascinated with the diary and how long and detailed it was. He transcribed it and then plotted his grandfather’s path through France, Belgium, and Germany as part of the American Expeditionary Forces. And he immersed himself in the history of the Great War and in the geography of the places where his grandfather and other doughboys walked and fought. He also dedicated himself to becoming a first-rate photographer, and his career path as a writer and photographer and lecturer of World War I and II was securely in place. Honoring the Doughboys: Following My Grandfather’s World War I Diary is an unforgettable tribute to all the doughboys, the foot soldiers, who served during World War I. Integrating passages from his grandfather’s diary with his own anecdotes and photographic survey of the places his grandfather traveled and fought over, Lowdermilk has composed an enduring compilation of how the reality of battle and of war can be reconciled through commemoration and memorialization and even a pilgrimage such as his, in which he walked and drove thousands of kilometers during many decades retracing his grandfather’s journey. This book provides a rich visual and historic tour of Europe’s landscapes, towns, battlefields, memorials, cemeteries, and monuments of World War I. And it offers the reader that rare chance to share in the experience of thousands of America’s doughboys who, like Mr. Carlson, gave their all in the fight to keep Europe free of tyranny and oppression. Jeff Lowdermilk has done the nation a great favor with his moving expression of gratitude to American veterans of World War I. And Helen Patton, granddaughter of General George S. Patton, Jr., adds her voice of appreciation for Jeff Lowdermilk’s effort in her heartfelt foreword.

JEFFREY A. LOWDERMILK is a Santa Fe-based writer, photographer, and lecturer of America’s involvement in World War I and II who has traveled extensively in Europe during the past decades chronicling the two wars in words and pictures and, in turn, meeting with thousands of veterans who became friends and shared their own experiences and insights into what it was like to be there. His photographs have been exhibited widely at such institutions as the Colorado History Museum, National World War I Museum, and New Mexico History Museum, and he is the author of Saluting America’s World I Heroes, a historical narrative and photographic presentation that honored the ninetieth anniversary of the Armistice. HELEN PATTON is the granddaughter of General George S. Patton, Jr., Chairwoman of the Patton Foundation, and the author of Portraits of Service: Looking into the Faces of Veterans.

“Honoring the Doughboys: Following My Grandfather’s World War I Diary is a lasting and loving tribute to the honor and memory of all Americans who served their country during World War I, especially the ‘doughboys,’ the common foot soldiers who fought in Europe for liberty and a better world. The words of Jeff Lowdermilk’s grandfather, taken from his war-time diary, speak viscerally to us about his experiences. As illustrations accompanying these words, none could be more appropriate than Lowdermilk’s photographs, as they provide a visual record of the legacy of service and sacrifice of many thousands who did their patriotic duty.”—Jonathan R. Casey, Museum Archivist, National World War I Museum “Jeff Lowdermilk has made a significant contribution to the public memory of World War I. By combining the straightforward narrative of his grandfather, George A. Carlson, with his stunning photographs of memorials and landscapes associated with the war, Lowdermilk captures the sense of courage and sacrifice of that epochal moment in world history. In his introduction, he reminds us that, because the American role was relatively brief, this war is often overlooked in our history books. Because of his passionate dedication to this subject, the valorous service of his grandfather and all the grandfathers—including my own—who fought to defend freedom will not be forgotten.”—Dr. Brent D. Glass, Director Emeritus, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution “Jeff Lowdermilk has done more than provide a civic service— remembering the thousands of American doughboys who fought and died for freedom on the fields of France and Belgium and Germany during World War I. He has done more than give us a personal testament to his grandfather’s bravery, memory, and the heartfelt relationship between a young man and his wise elder. He has given us a work of art. Lowdermilk’s achingly beautiful photographs of the graves, monuments, and fields of valor of the American Expeditionary Forces cannot fail to impress the reader with the heroism of a generation of Americans long and wrongfully forgotten. May his grandfather’s words and his spectacular photographic vision move you as much as they have moved me.” —Bruce C. McKenna, creator, writer, and producer of HBO’s Emmy Award-winning miniseries, The Pacific, and writer of the television series, Band of Brothers

Art, Women, and Culture Martha A. Strawn With an essay by William K. Mahony and introductions by Kapila Vatsyayan and Mark H. Sloan An important and strikingly beautiful new study of the sacred and ancient Hindu practice of threshold drawing!

In the Hindu world-view, threshold is a profoundly important concept: it represents a passage between one space and place and another, with emphasis placed on creating a visual bridge between the secular and the sacred. Accordingly, the literal threshold a person crosses when entering and exiting a home or business symbolizes the threshold one crosses between the physical and spiritual realms of existence. Hindus have long believed it is possible to affect a person’s well-being by using diagrams to sanctify the “threshold space.” The diagrams do so by “trapping” ill will, evil, bad luck, or negative energy within their colorful and elaborate configurations, thereby cleansing those who traverse the space and sending them on their way with renewed spirit, positive energy, and good luck and fortune.

The creation of the threshold drawings, or diagrams, is steeped in Indian history and culture, going back thousands of years. Practiced by women, largely in rural settings, it was long considered a vernacular art. But, as this innovative book reveals, it turns out that the diagrams represent highly sophisticated mathematical and cosmological underpinnings that have been unknowingly handed down from one generation of women to the next. But, as India has modernized and rapidly become more urban, Indian women and their husbands and families have increasingly moved to the city for work. And so a long-standing and critically important expression of Indian life, religion, and culture is becoming less common to the point that the tradition is threatened.

Photography/ Religion/ India Published in association with the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston

Across the Threshold of India is a pioneering new book that reveals the story of the threshold drawings for the first time. In Volume I, the reader is presented with an insightful history of how the threshold drawings evolved, what they have meant and represented in Indian and Hindu culture, and how the practice became a high form of vernacular art for religious and everyday life. In Volume II, we are able to enjoy and admire Martha Strawn’s original duotone and color photographs of the threshold drawings that she made throughout India during decades of work and travel, most of which are in the permanent collection of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, the nation’s foremost research center for Indian culture and art. By presenting the most recent scholarship on the history and art of the threshold drawings and combining that engaging tale with her wonderful fine-art and documentary photographs, Martha Strawn has given the world a unique and enduring gift: a work of visual ecology that perceptively portrays one of India’s and the world’s longest and least-known religious practices: the art of sanctifying space through threshold drawings.

“Martha Strawn’s photographs reveal an ancient tradition unfamiliar to most outside of India. The intricate patterns of the rangoli diagrams, rendered in lyric detail, connect these Hindu women with others throughout millennia who have sought to find the divine within sacred geometries. Strawn effectively demonstrates how this inherited custom has evolved from a religious necessity into a fascinating and enduring form of cultural expression. This two-volume work is a welcome addition to the growing literature about Indian art and culture, with Strawn’s timeless photographs at its center.” —From the Introduction by Mark H.

His story was old, he had told her, but still deserving of justice. Soon Kate is caught up in a dangerous whirlwind of events that takes her back into her grandmother’s mysterious war-time past and across the Atlantic as she tries to retrace the dead man’s footsteps. Finding out the truth is not so simple, however, as only a few people are still alive who know the story…and Kate soon realizes that her questions are putting their lives in danger. Stalked by an unknown and sinister enemy, she must use her tough journalistic instinct to find the answers from the past in order to have a future. ‘An entertaining read with lively characterisation, an attractively unassuming Second World War spy and neat plotting’ —Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph

Evil for Evil Aline Templeton A highly-regarded police procedural series by an established crime author is set in the beautiful and remote south-west of Scotland

A skeleton is found shackled to a rock in a sea-cave near an isolated Scottish village. And DI Marjory Fleming attempts to uncover the pattern she cannot see, a deadly and ugly pattern she must solve before it’s too late. Lovatt Island is one of a group of beautiful, uninhabited islands, near the isolated village of Innellan in south-west Scotland. The skeleton found in one of its sea-caves, shackled to the rock, looks like the relic of some long ago conflict between rival smuggling gangs, but the modern watch clasped around its bony wrist gives the lie to that. It presents a challenging, if not perhaps an urgent case for DI Marjory Fleming. But in the village there is an atmosphere of fear and tension and seemingly unconnected incidents start to happen: unpleasant vandalism; a house is set on fire. The rank smell of hatred is in the air and Fleming, desperate to prevent more violence senses a pattern she cannot see, a deadly uncompleted design becoming uglier and uglier. ALINE TEMPLETON lives in Edinburgh with her husband and their Dalmatian dog. She has been Chair of the Society of Authors in Scotland and has been nominated for the Crime Writers’ Association committee. MARCH 2014 Paperback

The Girl at the Farmhouse Gate Julia Stoneham The second novel in the Land Girls trilogy following Muddy Boots and Silk Stockings

It is early spring in 1944 and the war in Europe continues, with the Allies poised to invade northern France. For Alice Todd, it is the start of her second year as warden of the Land Army hostel in the wild Devonshire countryside—and a time of change as she recovers from the aftermath of her broken marriage. Alice becomes increasingly self-reliant and confident, learning to balance her new working lifestyle with her continuing role as a mother to her only son. Her leadership has won her the affection and confidence of the Land Girls in her charge and, as the seeds of friendship are sewn, she finds herself increasingly caught up in the lives of the women that surround her, lives that are complex, humorous and sometimes tragic. Despite the momentous changes of the past few years, Alice sees little difference in the face reflected in the mirror, but inside she has found reserves of strength she didn’t know she had. Her spirit attracts the admiration of Roger Bayliss, her enigmatic employer, but is his attention going to help or hinder her new-found independence? ‘This would do very nicely for a dark winter evening in front of the fire . . . The characters were well drawn and believable and drew both empathy with and sympathy from the reader . . . keeping the interest going.’—Historical Novels Review

At twenty-five, West-End dancer, Ellie Wakefield should be having the time of her life. The only problem is, ever since waking up in a leaky cellar belonging to three-hundred-year-old vampire, Will Austen, she’s been very much dead. And to make matters worse, she’s since found that an aversion to blood and a fear of the dark aren’t very helpful – especially when you’re a fledgling vamp. William James Austen has fallen hard. He’s spent the last year loving Ellie from afar and now he’s finally able to be truthful about who and what he is. As the most powerful and revered vampire in London, he’s used to getting what he wants. But this time, Will might just have bitten off more than he can chew.

And Lily could never fall for a man so disinterested in food – could she?

So when his stagecoach is held up by a masked woman, brandishing a pistol and dressed as a ‘gentleman’ of the road, he wholly expects to have his purse stolen. And when he senses something strangely familiar about the lovely little bandit, Jack also expects to win his cousin Rupert’s wager by tracking her down first. But as Jack and the highwaywoman enter into a swashbuckling game of cat and mouse, uncovering an intricate web of fiercely guarded family secrets, the last thing Jack expects to have stolen is his heart.

Olivia has been in love with Daniel forever but, despite her best efforts, they’ve never been able to get it together. Their relationship has always been a series of mixed messages and misunderstandings and the final straw comes when Daniel mysteriously starts dating her flat-mate, Emily. Hurt and confused, Olivia resolves to forget her heartache with a spot of speed-dating. After all, what could possibly go wrong? One crazy stalker later and Olivia’s life is becoming increasingly strange and scary. Can she rely on Daniel to step in when events take a terrifying turn or will their communication breakdown ultimately result in tragedy…? JULES WAKE. Bred but not born in Yorkshire, England, Jules considers herself an honorary Yorkshire woman and despite living in the Chilterns still misses proper hills. She’s wanted to be a writer forever and blames this on her grandmother taking her at a young age to the Brontë’s parsonage in Haworth. After reading English at the University of East Anglia, she found herself in the glamorous and deeply shallow world of PR, which she rather enjoyed, and spent a number of years honing her fiction writing skills on press releases. Upon completing a creative writing course and finding no local writing group, she set up the Tring Writers’ Circle. As a result it was incumbent upon her to set a good example and actually write, which was rather fortunate as with a genuine allergy to cleaning, she finds writing offers the perfect displacement activity. Talk to Me is her debut novel.

Christine Stovell Sometimes your heart’s the only navigator you need…

May Starling’s had enough of her demanding career and even more demanding ex. Responding to a ‘crew-wanted’ ad, she follows her dreams of escape only to find herself at sea with red-haired Bill Blythe. Bill warns May that close-quartered living can create a boiling pot of emotions, but even May is surprised by the heat building up inside the vintage wooden boat. And when May and Bill tie up at Watling’s Boatyard in Little Spitmarsh, May’s determined to test her newfound feelings on dry land. But May’s dream of escaping her former life is in danger of being swept away when several unwelcome blasts from the past follow her ashore, all seemingly hell-bent on reminding her that it’s never that easy to clear the decks. This is Christine’s third Choc Lit novel. CHRISTINE STOVELL was born in Epsom, Surrey, England and now lives in Wales. Winning a tin of chocolate in a national essay competition at primary school inspired her to become a writer, an ambition she neglected for far too long thinking she had to have a proper job. After graduating from University of East Anglia, she took various jobs in the public sector writing research papers and policy notes by day and filling up her spare drawers with embryonic novels by night. Losing her dad to cancer made her realize that if she was ever going to get a novel published she had to put her writing first. Setting off, with her husband, from a sleepy seaside resort on the east coast in a vintage wooden boat to sail halfway round Britain provided the inspiration for her debut novel Turning the Tide. Christine lives on the beautiful west Wales coast where long-distance running helps her plan her plots. Half marathons, like novels, both begin with small steps. She is married to the artist, Tom Tomos, and is enormously proud of her two daughters and two stepsons.

Real Reads New Titles

Real Reads are accessible texts designed to support the literacy development of primary and lower secondary age children while introducing them to the riches of our international literary heritage. The books can be enjoyed by able readers in middle primary, and allow older children with literacy difficulties to engage with great stories. The books are also useful in the teaching of English as an additional language. Each book is a retelling of a work of great literature from one of the world’s greatest cultures, fitted into a 64-page book, making classic stories, dramas and histories available to intelligent young readers as a bridge to the full texts, to language students wanting access to other cultures, and to adult readers who are unlikely ever to read the original versions. Real Reads embody cultural values and traditions from around the world. They foster cross-cultural understanding and help the reader connect with the world’s most important literature and history. Each book has a section called ‘Taking things further’ which provides historical and human context, suggests links to useful resources, and asks the reader challenging and insightful questions relating to the story. These works are not lightly called ‘classics’, nor does Real Reads shy away from ‘difficult’ texts and strange foreign works. They make the world’s greatest literature, from William Shakespeare to Mark Twain, from Jane Austen to the Ramayana, from the New Testament to the Chinese classic Journey to the West, readily accessible through masterful retellings. Each Real Reads title reflects the depth and power of the original story, and retains much of the author’s vocabulary, style and tone. Real Reads bring great books to a wider readership, while always honoring the context and structure of the original. Each is richly and intelligently illustrated, each illustrator carefully chosen for their ability to convey the mood of the original text. The wonderful pictures, always historically accurate and laid out to complement the text, enhance the reader’s understanding and enjoyment. Real Reads are physically robust, giving the reader a sense of holding a beautiful book rather than a cheap paperback. They are section-sewn so they won’t fall apart with regular reading, and printed on heavyweight paper with board covers and an elegant dustwrapper. Real Reads are a joy to handle, works of art in their own right.

World War I 2014 marks the centenary of the start of World War I— ‘The Great War’- when many readers will be turning their thoughts to the literature of that catastrophic period of history.

TONY EVANS started his career as a high school English teacher, and has a Masters Degree in Literary Research from Lancaster University. After working as a Deputy Headteacher in Bristol he became a school inspector and educational consultant, based in Leeds. He is now a fulltime writer and lives with his wife in the Yorkshire Dales.

His publications include a collection of detective stories set late nineteenth century England, as well as coauthorship of a book on steam locomotives and several books in the Real Reads series of re-told classics. SARAH WIMPERIS began painting at a very early age as a result of family influences and an inability to spell. She studied fine art at Falmouth School of Art, exhibited with the Portal Gallery, then travelled the world, including China, Russia, Israel and Norway, painting all the way. She returned to Cornwall, raised a lot of children, painted murals for a while, then became a professional illustrator. Since 2008 she has exhibited regularly at the Beside the Wave Gallery in Falmouth, which she now manages.

The Thirty-Nine Steps John Buchan Retold by Tony Evans Illustrated by Sarah Wimperis “It was really exciting when Hannay was shut in a storeroom and found a cupboard full of explosives.” —Max, 10

‘It wouldn’t be pleasant sharing my flat with a dead body, but there was nothing else I could do.’ Richard Hannay is bored with life in London. Then he discovers a horrible crime, and finds himself in the middle of a clever and frightening plot. Can he find the proof he needs to save his country from disaster? When Hannay hides out on the wild Scottish moors, will he escape from the dangerous gang who want to silence him forever? Who can he trust on his journey? Time is running out for Hannay and his friends. Will he be able to discover the secret of the thirty-nine steps before it is too late? JOHN BUCHAN (1875-1940) was a Scottish author, historian, journalist, diplomat and politician. He traveled widely, wrote prolifically and served as Governor General of Canada.

When Paul Bäumer and his classmates join the army, nothing has prepared them for the death and destruction that they witness. Machine guns, huge artillery shells and poison gas create a nightmare world for these young men and their older comrades.

Will Carruthers and his friend Arthur Davies discover why the sinister and mysterious Herr Dollman is so interested in their little yacht, the Dulcibella? What does Clara Dollman know about her father’s plans? Some secret scheme has brought Commander von Brüning of the Imperial German Navy to the East Frisian Islands.

Some of the world’s greatest classics are stories of courage and resourcefulness in the face of physical hardship. Real Reads launches this exciting new series with two of the key works in the genre: Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, his powerful study of isolation and inventiveness based on a true story, and Herman Melville’s great whaling epic of daring adventure and manic obsession, Moby Dick.

The Scottish novelist and academic MARGARET ELPHINSTONE’s first novel was published in 1987. Her latest, The Gathering Night, was published in 2009. She is Emeritus Professor of Scottish Literature at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. Apart from spells of academic work in the USA, she has spent most of her working life in various parts of Scotland including Shetland, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Trained in art and Italian literature at Aberystwyth University in Wales, KATY ELPHINSTONE lives and works near Rome, Italy, as an artist and illustrator. As well as her paintings of Africa, Scotland and the Italian landscape, her work is regularly used by United Nations agencies including UNICEF and FAO.

“I’m not sure that I would be able to live for years without seeing anyone else like Robinson Crusoe did.” —Laura, 12

“Moby Dick is an enormous whale who accidentally hurt a captain called Ahab. I was sad when the whale was caught.” —James, 9

Running away to sea brings adventure and wealth, but then come shipwreck and a desperate struggle for survival.

‘Breach your last to the sun, Moby Dick!’ cried Ahab. ‘Thy hour and thy harpoon are at hand!’

Defying his parents, Robinson Crusoe goes to sea. He is captured by pirates but escapes to Brazil. He makes a fortune using slave labor to grow tobacco and sugar. He sails to Africa to bring back more slaves but is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. Everyone else is drowned. For over twenty years he lives alone. He learns to hunt and fish and make shelter. Then the cannibals arrive. Will this be the end of his adventure—or the chance to escape?

Why does Captain Ahab look like a man who’s being crucified? How did he come by that hideous scar and the false leg made of a whale’s bone? And why is he obsessed by Moby Dick, the great white whale? Ishmael, the new recruit, has other strange shipmates. There’s Queequeg for instance, covered in weird tattoos and selling shrunken human heads. And what of the shadowy figures creeping on board the whaling ship Pequod? Ahab leads them all in reckless pursuit of Moby Dick. Will he succeed in killing the whale, or will Moby Dick lure Ahab and his crew to destruction?

William Shakespeare When we started Real Reads we thought it couldn’t be done— 5,000-word retellings of Shakespeare’s best-known plays in a language which uses many of the bard’s own words, adding to them in Shakespearean style and idiom to create shorter versions which are powerful plays in their own right. Then Helen Street showed us exactly how it could be achieved, and we are proud to publish the first Real Reads Shakespeare plays, acting versions perfect both for personal enjoyment and for school plays and theatre groups. Charly Cheung’s stylish illustrations bring these wonderful dramas vividly to life.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (baptized 1564–1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. HELEN STREET grew up in Yorkshire in the north of England, and while living in York became involved in theatre and education, regularly working with children on productions of Shakespeare’s best-known plays. She now divides her time between England and France, where she is renovating a semi-derelict farmhouse. CHARLY CHEUNG was born and grew up in Singapore, and studied illustration at London University of the Arts at St Martins College.

Macbeth William Shakespeare Retold by Helen Street Illustrated by Charly Cheung “The witches told Macbeth he could be king, and he wanted to be so he killed the old king. But he died in the end.”—Jasmine, 11

On a dark heath, Macbeth stumbles across three witches who can see into the future. What he hears will change everything. Egged on by his wife, he decides to kill in order to gain the Scottish crown. How many people will have to die in Macbeth’s pursuit of power? With armies, ghosts and magic against him, will Macbeth survive in this tale of greed and betrayal?

A violent storm shipwrecks the King of Naples and his noblemen on what appears to be an uninhabited island. What the king doesn’t know is that they have been brought here by powerful magic. Prospero, the mysterious ruler of the island, has a plan, but will he use his magic for good or bad against the castaways? His daughter, Miranda, has never seen another man except her father. What will she think of the stranger who stumbles into her life? Prospero’s monstrous servant, Caliban, sees a chance to overthrow his master. Will he succeed? Enchantment and treachery are everywhere on the island—which will prove the stronger?

Alone in a strange country where it isn’t safe to be a single girl, Viola disguises herself as a boy called Cesario and finds work as a servant. But dressing in boy’s clothes doesn’t stop Viola falling in love with a man—who is in love with someone else. Will she ever manage to win his love for herself?

Wuthering Heights

Charlotte Brontë

Emily Brontë

Retold by Gill Tavner

Illustrated by Vanessa Lubach

“I like the language, and the character of Jane Eyre. You feel she is real.”—Gypsy, 12

“I like the pacing. It makes you wonder what will happen next. I also like the gothic feel.”—Daisy, 13

Jane Eyre is poor, parentless and plain. Her future looks bleak. Jane’s aunt and cousin detest her. Life at Lowood School is cruel and dangerous. What inner strength can the young Jane find? Seeking adventure and independence, Jane sets out alone. Is her new master, Mr. Rochester, all that he seems? What secret does he keep locked in the third storey, where strange laughter haunts the nights? In her search for affection, Jane faces horror, cruelty, poverty and temptation. Is she strong enough to do what is right? Will she ever mean anything more to anybody than poor, plain Jane Eyre? CHARLOTTE BRONTË (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters MARCH 2014 Paperback

I saw everything. They told me everything. I played a part in everything. Nelly Dean has spent her life serving the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights. She has quite a tale to tell. She wants to tell it to you. Nelly’s story is as wild and stormy as the moors on which it is set. She talks of haunting, hatred, love, grief and the desire for revenge. Her tale begins and ends with the mysterious Heathcliff. Where has this strange, silent boy come from? Will you fear him or pity him? What drives the adult Heathcliff to destroy others, even his own son, and to dig in dark graveyards? Is it love or vengeance, or both? This famous story of Heathcliff and Catherine will thrill you and chill you to the bone. EMILY BRONTË (1818—1848) was an English novelist and poet, older sister to Anne Brontë and younger sister to Charlotte.

New Testament NEW TITLES

‘Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear’, runs William Parker’s well-known hymn. Now Real Reads bring you the Real stories of Jesus—a series of six interlinked gospel-based narratives telling the events of the New Testament through the eyes of those involved. Closely following the characters and events of the New Testament, this series shows six unique humans in extreme situations. It explores their motivations, their struggles, and their responses to the momentous events they lived through. Never before has the New Testament been presented in this way. It is a great new way for young readers to meet the people and experience the events which have shaped over two thousand years of history. ■

Checked for accuracy to the gospels by a leading New Testament scholar

■

Online concordance so that readers and teachers can link passages directly to New Testament sources

As the authors of this groundbreaking series, Alan Moore and Gill Tavner, say, ‘We have done everything within our ability to meet the challenge of retelling the New Testament story with integrity and responsibility. Although we are both Christians, we did not approach this with evangelistic intent. Instead, by opening the New Testament to a whole new readership, we hope to enhance both cultural and spiritual understanding and tolerance for people of any faith or no faith.’ ‘These re-written versions of stories from the bible, lucidly done, but without any dumbing down, confirm the authority of their originals while introducing them to readers in new ways. They pull off the difficult trick of being simultaneously timehonouring and contemporary. They deserve to find a large audience.’ — Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate 1999–2009 ‘As the father of an eight-year-old I should like to commend most fully the quality of these books and the idea that inspires them.’—Canon Anthony Ball, Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury

GILL TAVNER was an English Teacher and Head of Department before turning to writing when she had young children of her own. She has also taught English in South East Asia, worked as a personal trainer, been a management trainee in an insurance company, led treks in Africa, run her own business and painted fake tattoos on Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Perhaps it is this variety that makes her such a versatile writer. ALAN MOORE is a cultural and religious historian with a particular interest in the connections between history and education. He has also trained as a psychotherapist specializing in family work. He lives in Cheltenham, England. KAREN DONNELLY lives in the English seaside town of Brighton, where for the past twenty years she has been working as a fulltime illustrator, mostly of children’s books. She has solid experience in illustration for publishing, advertising and commercial clients.

Jesus of Nazareth Retold by Alan Moore and Gill Tavner Illustrated by Karen Donnelly “I had been given a simple but enormous task. This was the role for which I had spent my whole life preparing.”

After encountering John the Baptist, Jesus’s work begins. He will meet many people; some will help him, many will need his help, and some will become his enemies. Jesus challenges the way people live, the way they relate to God, and the way Jewish law is enforced. Although he is a man of peace, he is not afraid to challenge authority, no matter where this might lead. What exactly are Jesus’s responsibilities as God’s son? How will he lead people towards a new relationship with God? How much can a man achieve in one short lifetime? How much more can he achieve by his death? MARCH 2014 Paperback

Mary of Galilee

Simon Peter

Mary Magdalene

Retold by Alan Moore and Gill Tavner

Illustrated by Karen Donnelly

“Can you spare the time to listen to my account? I should like to tell the whole story, just once before I die.”

“Catching fish. That’s what I was doing on the day that changed my life forever.”

“My darkness lifted, never to return. This man was truly the light of the world.”

Mary is a young woman living a simple life in Nazareth, when an angel’s visit changes her life forever. She has been chosen by God to bear him a son. She alone amongst women has been chosen to bear the agony and the joy.

Although Simon has no idea why Jesus is beckoning to him from the beach, he agrees to leave his nets and follow him.

Mary’s childhood in Magdala leaves her with emotional scars she fears will never heal—until she meets Jesus.

A robust, enthusiastic fisherman, Simon makes more mistakes and asks more questions than the other disciples. Why then, he wonders, does Jesus call him Peter, which means ‘rock’?

Recognizing the importance of Jesus’s work, she decides to do all that she can to support him, but what good can a woman do in a man’s world?

From the moment of his birth, she knows that Jesus’s life will be like no other: she has been warned of the pain that lies ahead. When Jesus begins his work, how will she react to her increasing awareness of the dangers facing her son? When Mary experiences anguish that no mother should ever experience, is her faith strong enough to sustain her? Might there be grounds for joy in the midst of such brutality? MARCH 2014 Paperback

When Jesus is arrested everybody except Simon Peter flees, but is he brave enough to stand by Jesus until the end? After Jesus’s death, how will Simon Peter spread Jesus’s teachings? Will he make the right decisions? Can he calm the rivalries developing among Jesus’s followers? Is he brave enough to die for his beliefs?

Will Mary ever be accepted by Jesus’s other disciples? What will she learn from the miracles she witnesses and from her many conversations with the Son of God? To Mary the message seems simple, so why can’t others believe? After witnessing Jesus’s agonizing death, Mary is the first to see the empty tomb, the first to see the risen Christ. What role can she play in spreading the news about Jesus after his death?

Inferno Dante Alighieri Retold by Isabel Coe Illustrated by Elena Menga “It’s amazing how many different sorts of punishment Dante imagines for sinners!” —Luigi, 11

‘Abandon hope all ye who enter here.’ Dante, our young, naive hero, has woken from a deep sleep to find himself in a cold, dark wood. Before he can begin to work out where he is, his path is blocked by a leopard, a lion and a she-wolf. Things get worse from here, and our pilgrim finds himself on a journey through the very depths of Hell. Why is he here, and will he ever make it out alive? During his journey, Dante meets the worst sinners imaginable and witnesses how God punishes them. Although they writhe and wail in tortured agony, he must remain strong, for he has to make it through or he may find himself lost in this dismal place forever.

The Great Gatsby Scott Fitzgerald Retold by Sean Connolly Illustrated by Sam Kalda “It’s so interesting the way all Gatsby’s wealth doesn’t really make him very happy.”—Shane, 14

Nick Carraway’s mysterious neighbour Gatsby gazes across the dark bay at a distant green light. As the summer unfolds, Nick is drawn into Gatsby’s world of luxury cars, speedboats and extravagant parties. But the more he hears about Gatsby—even from what Gatsby himself tells him—the less he is sure of the truth. Did Gatsby really go to Oxford University? Was he a hero in the war? Did he once kill a man? Nick recalls how he came to know Gatsby. He recounts how he enters the world of his cousin Daisy and her wealthy husband Tom. But does their money make them any happier? How do everybody’s stories connect? Will you come to know the real Gatsby after reading Nick’s account of that fateful summer?

In London’s squalor, a child is trampled and an elderly gentleman brutally murdered. Why do all fingers point towards Mr. Hyde? Is Jekyll strong enough to resist Hyde’s strange power? Are Jekyll’s friends strong enough to help? In this exploration of two sides of Victorian London and two sides of human nature, the conflict between good and evil has been given a terrifying twist.

John’s intriguing versions of the tales of the Hindus’ great gods are graced by Daniela’s brilliantly reimagined illustrations of the deities, each a masterpiece of detail and drama, reminiscent of Dulac and Rackham, and the glorious ‘Golden Age.’ These are the tales of the Trimurti—the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva—and Brahma Dreaming is divided into three sections representing their continuous forces of creation, preservation and destruction. The work begins with Lord Brahma dreaming the universe into being and from there unfolds an enthralling collection of interconnected tales that span the entire spectrum of human experience, dark illusions and earthly temptations. Here are brave princes, divine divas and demon kings, family feuds and epic battles, burning loves and lies, tragic deaths and glorious rebirths. There are tales about dancing elephants, peacock warriors and monkey armies, all retold by Jackson with great character, warmth and wit. MARCH 2014 Hardcover

Jackson’s collaborator, artist Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini, has been inspired to create what she describes as the best work of her career in Brahma Dreaming with over fifty exquisite fonts and illustrations hand-drawn in black ink. These are the Hindu gods and goddesses as they have never been seen before!

A Little Piece of England A Tale of Self-sufficiency NEW TITLES

John Jackson, illustrated by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini A Little Piece of England tells the tale of how the author’s family, living in a sliver of countryside in London’s commuter belt, came, over some ten years, to make itself, in its ‘spare time’, self-sufficient in its requirements of milk, meat, eggs, vegetables and some fruit.

The book can be read in two ways. One way is for those, particularly urban folk, who are interested in growing their own food or contemplating a life style founded on their own smallholding. In this way, it is a book for those who wonder about the practicalities of living in a self-contained, permacultural way and for those who dream of making their own bread or even, perhaps, of eating their own mutton stewed with their own onions and carrots. The other way is for those, perhaps particularly anglophiles in other lands, who are in harmony with the stubborn, Saxon streak which runs strongly in the character and culture of the English. The streak which showed itself when London was fire-bombed night after night in the early 1940s and also when John’s self-taught grandfather told his children: “You don’t know what you can do until you try to do it”.

Black Chalk Albert Alla Black Chalk is an edgy journey into twenty-first century morality

In the Oxfordshire countryside, a student walks into a classroom and starts shooting. Nate Dillingham, friends with shooter and victims alike, is the sole survivor and only witness. Easily led and eager to please, his recollections weave around others’ hopes until he loses track of what really happened that day. After eight evasive years on the road, he comes back to Oxford, meets Leona, and plunges into a world of candor and desire. But Nate’s defenses are deteriorating and Leona shares too much of his past… An unsettling tale of passion and guilt, Black Chalk is an edgy journey into twenty-first century morality.

NOW AVAILABLE Paperback

Black Chalk by Albert Alla is a very well written first novel by the author. Written in first person, it reads as if it were a true story, but sadly it is based on many true stories for horrible news events: school shootings by other students. The book takes you through the journey of the one who lives through the horror when all of his friends die, and he is the hero who does not feel like a hero. It completely changes his life and makes any and all relationships with friends and family very, very difficult. The main character, Nathan, skips the last few weeks of his high school senior year and must spend years working on his inner self and his feelings away from anyone he knew before the dark incident. His work takes him around the world before he can face his hometown again. The book is a very good story and strong look at what the survivors must face. Really a good novel!—Bonnie Neely

The Father, the Son and the Pyjama Wearing Spirit Dominic Garcin A thought-provoking book which presents alternative approaches to the creation and evolution of humankind

There is something extraordinary about Cambridge philosophy student Gian Paolo Friedrich. From the strange visions that people have in his presence, to his uncanny ability to touch the hearts of total strangers, Gian Paolo is not like other people. Unnervingly enigmatic, he claims to be ‘newer’; to experience feelings that nobody else has ever felt before. Is he a superior being, or is he psychotic? Psychiatrist Joy Small is treating Gian Paolo, and diagnoses him with early-stage psychosis. But as the events around her become extraordinary, she starts to question this initial diagnosis and wonders if Gian Paolo actually does have some kind of divine power. The question of who he really is becomes an obsession for her. Until she finds the answer, she won’t know whether to publish the anti-Christian creed he claims will save mankind, or whether to bury his ideas quietly in a file. If he is a Homo superior, his deconstruction of Christianity is a revelation, but if he’s psychotic, her Catholic beliefs are safe. Through this novel the author presents his alternative philosophy on creation and the evolution of humankind. The possibility that Gian Paolo could be the second coming of Christ creates space for a series of taboo-shattering satires, such as the analogy between Gian Paolo’s relationship with his father and that of Man to God. The novel challenges the biblical vision of heaven on earth, as Gian Paolo reveals his wish that science would isolate the extraordinary elements of DNA that he believes he possesses and use them to engineer generations of super-beings, who will in turn make the world into paradise.

Blue Fish in a Dark Sea Police Intelligence in a Counterinsurgency Randall Wilson Police intelligence in a counterinsurgency may not hit the headlines and is by no means a panacea for civil strife, but is an integral component of a combined counterinsurgency strategy. It provides a weapon which is more feared by insurgents than any number of missiles, armored vehicles or boots on the ground.

The proper employment of police intelligence is a vital and often overlooked tool which, if used correctly, may lead to a lasting resolution of any counterinsurgency campaign. Yet its capacity for uncovering and destroying the prime movers of an insurgency is all too often marginalized: knowing who they are and where they may be found renders the insurgent visible and touchable. This is the natural role of police intelligence as this work clearly demonstrates.

MARCH 2014 Paper

This book is of particular value to policy experts and academics on the vital importance of police intelligence in counterinsurgency. Surprisingly little in the way of study of this specific aspect of counterinsurgency since policing is mentioned largely in the context of a supportive and adjunctive role to the efforts of more traditional military operations. It is Important to students of international relations, civil, national and international security, police academies, law enforcement and security management especially as security studies is an expanding discipline.

One mid-summer evening in an English hayfield Jan McCourt was crushed beneath his 7ton tractor. In an instant his life was changed forever. His lower back, hip and pelvis were virtually demolished. Lucky to be airlifted to hospital, luckier still even to be alive, he was later informed by the surgeon that the procedure would be akin to taking a polo mint, stamping on it and then piecing the broken bits back in their original position. The injury also played complete havoc with his digestive system. Enduring long weeks of unimaginable and at times quite terrifying pain, the toll on Jan’s body also began to affect his mind. JAN MCCOURT is an Investment banker-turned-farmer who was crushed beneath his own tractor.

One of the UK’s most distinguished economists, Sir Alan Peacock is also a nonagenarian. As an academic and former civil servant he is well placed to analyze the costs and benefits of retirement, and the courses of action that we can take in anticipation of a lengthening lifespan. In trying to make sense of old age by writing of his later life and memoirs, he views life’s travails with a wry and clear-eyed detachment. Unafraid to grasp the realities of the decline of physical independence he steers us through medical practice, bureaucracy and “healthspeak” as well as loss and bereavement. His often light-hearted personal anecdotes reveal a serious point, one being that the ageing also assume a growing responsibility for the aged. SIR ALAN PEACOCK is a distinguished British economist, knighted for public service in 1987.

Wealth without Cost, Volume One NEW TITLES

White Alchemy in Economics Barry Bracewell-Milnes Not everything of value is the product of costly inputs; this book is about the creation of value from inputs that are both scarce and costless.

Economics was originally about agriculture. Manufacturing was added in the eighteenth century, services in the nineteenth. To these three branches of economics, Wealth without Cost adds the costless creation of wealth, the creation of economic value without the use of costly inputs. The costless inputs that create costless wealth are scarce but cannot be purchased; examples are loyalty, saving in perpetuity, giving, proprietary appropriation, stewardship, altruism and freedom. “This is a first class work. Dr Bracewell-Milnes has a formidable command of economic theory, allied to an equally impressive familiarity with high culture. Moreover, he also ventures into new territory, with his belief, and in this book his demonstration, that the moral order is productive. Certainly anyone doing a higher degree in economics should read this work.” —Prof. Dennis O’Keeffe “This is a book which ought to be available in the library of every institution which teaches economics.” —Professor Antony Flew MARCH 2014 Hardcover

“Extraordinarily interesting—one of the most subversive tracts I have read in a long time, blissfully out of sympathy with almost everything that is held dear by today’s establishment, and therefore of great importance.

Economics/ Public Policy

Wealth without Cost, Volume Two White Alchemy in Religion and the Arts Published to widespread acclaim in the United Kingdom, the first volume of this important work examined the nature and creation of wealth, arguing that the “costless wealth” of human ingenuity—loyalty, charity, altruism and freedom—is more fundamental to prosperity than state intervention. Volume Two extends the argument to religion and the arts.

By contrast with what is widely believed, economics, religion and the arts are structurally similar orders for the creation of value. Value can be created by the primary activities of entrepreneurs, prophets and artists and through the secondary activities of stewards and critics; and the process extends to tertiary value creation by consumers. Costless wealth creation makes better use of what already exists. It can operate through the improvement of institutions or through the workings of the individual mind. “This wonderful book urges us to get the maximum value out of our most precious asset: the infinitely rich literary, artistic and religious heritage that is all around us, freely available and waiting to be enjoyed.” —Dr. Peter Jones, MBE, Past President, The Classical Association

The book is dedicated to the memory of those saints of the free market philosophy, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek.”—Russell Lewis, former General Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs and biographer of Margaret Thatcher

DR. BARRY BRACEWELL-MILNES was the author of some 25 books. A libertarian and traditionalist, he was publicly sacked from the CBI in 1973 for supporting free enterprise and the market economy. Since then he worked as a consultant and author writing on economic and tax policy. He died in 2012.

The Power of Numbers NEW TITLES

Richard Ehrman Over the next fifty years Japan, Russia and many European Countries face a sustained, outright fall in population—something that has never happened in any advanced economy. For most other European nations the prospect is one of ageing stagnation and high immigration.

In stark contrast to the developed countries of the first world, across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas population numbers are rising rapidly and will continue to do so for some time yet. By 2050 most demographers think that population growth in the developing world will also stall. Long before that happens, however, demographic divergence between today’s developed and developing worlds will have revolutionized the economic, political and military balance of power across the world. The Power of Numbers will set out the figures and projections, identify the winners and losers and conflicts that are likely to result from the coming upheaval. “If you need to know why the IMF’s prognosis is so bleak, seek out Richard Ehrman’s The Power of Numbers... It is a devastatingly clear exposition of how unprepared we are in this country for the consequences of demographic decay.” —Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times “Ehrman sets out clearly how what he calls the demographic crunch increases costs to the taxpayer, shifts power and wealth to countries with higher birth rates and forces countries with low ones to bring in more and more immigrants... Many of those who obsess about the ‘population explosion’ fear that it will condemn the world to poverty. This is the great illusion. Wait until population implodes if you want to rediscover what being poor means.”—Charles Moore, Daily Telegraph

Liberating Learning Widening Participation Patrick Derham and Michael Worton, editors “This book could become a bible for reformers, those fed up with the past 13 years of missed opportunities. “ —Financial Times

Teachers, philosophers, historians and chief executives put the state of contemporary secondary education under the spotlight. Their essays make the case that secondary education has been impoverished by a narrow curriculum and rigid bureaucratic assessment system, and that despite government attempts to widen participation, the social gap in education remains wide. Inspired by the liberal tradition, the authors call for a more generous approach that will kindle the interests of young people and give teachers more freedom. They examine the initiatives that are successfully raising aspirations and participation, and argue that the best way to get more people from diverse backgrounds into university is to liberate learning. The contributors are Simon Blackburn, Nigel Bowles, Patrick Derham, Rachel Carr, Hugh Rayment-Pickard, Niall Ferguson, Sarah Fletcher, AC Grayling, Simon Lebus, Ray Lewis, Sir Stuart Rose, John May, Michael Reiss, Elizabeth Swinbank, John Taylor and Michael Worton “Given the scale and density of socially-concentrated educational failure in the UK, the weakness of educational culture in many demographic groups, and the pervasiveness of low expectations…the need for action on grounds both of moral urgency and economic utility is overwhelming.” —Nigel Bowles

Don’t Fence Me In NEW TITLES

Essays on the Rational Truant Michael Connolly, editor Intended for those who have a critical interest in education and schooling including teachers, principals, administrators, students of education, education departments, inspectors and superintendents and not least citizens with a commitment to good education.

This book assumes that most truancy is the logical outcome of rational decisions made by students in the face of the circumstances that characterize their school experience. It declines to attribute and consign all acts of truancy to the dustbin of deviance and anti-social behavior. While it does not seek to absolve young people from responsibility for their actions, it seeks to show that structural weaknesses in the state-supported school system play a significant role in the causation of truancy both from class and school. The book consists of a series of essays written from a perspective that seeks to explain and understand truancy rationally. Some contributors report on recent research including the relation of teaching style to truancy, the incidence of truancy as a function of ethnic group and linguistic proficiency, the student as consumer, and the importance of establishing a literate order to decrease truancy rates. Other essays are more speculative and theoretical, including an assessment of political attitudes to truancy, a personal account by a recalcitrant former truant, a study of conflicting explanations of the phenomenon, an examination of the measurement of truancy and an account of ‘truant’ and its numerous synonyms.

Crescent and Delta The Bangladesh Story NEW TITLES

David Urch This book is the first to provide an objective outside view of the immense contribution of the Bangladeshi people. It should be of great interest both to the wide diaspora of Bangladeshis and those who wish to learn more about the compelling history of the region.

Bangladesh became an independent state in 1971. But its story, often overshadowed by flood, famine and natural disaster is one that should make every Bangladeshi proud. David Urch’s vivid narrative evokes the people and the place, describing how, after years of outside influence, modern Bangladesh was born. Despite centuries of external domination, the Bangladeshis remain a proud people. Now at last they themselves can benefit from their rich and diverse country. The first comprehensive history of Bangladesh to be written by an Englishman, though one who has spent much of his life in Islamic countries, It is more than a history of Bangladesh. By recounting what has often been a violent and tragic history, it explores wider issues such as the cultural and economic interactions between those of different faiths, and the problems of establishing stable systems of government in places that have experienced centuries of oppression and exploitation. DAVID URCH studied History and Theology at Worcester College Oxford. Spending almost 20 years in Saudi Arabia, he was the first Englishman to teach in the schools in Riyadh. He rose to become Inspector General of the English Language for The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He worked for the English Service of Radio Riyadh where he wrote, produced and presented broadcast material including the weekly sports review. On his return to England he spent a number of years working with special needs children and was Latin master at Bury Lawn School, Milton Keynes. He died in 2012.

The Big Society The Anatomy of the New Politics Jesse Norman What is the Big Society? Some argue that it is a genuine vision for the future, others that it is simply a smokescreen for stringent and inevitable cuts in public-spending. As a concept it has been considered as too vague and unintelligible to attract sufficient numbers of voters, yet is already presenting a powerful case that devolved government will cost less and do more.

The Big Society is a bold and radical attempt to strengthen communities and civil society in order to deliver public services more efficiently, and a fundamental tenet of Big Society theory is the decentralization of power away from Whitehall. The prize should be increased accountability and efficiency and a dramatic reduction in bureaucracy and cost to the economy. This hugely important book provides a most timely and important answer to a question perhaps best described as rhetorical: it is essential reading for politicians, economists, social commentators—and the voting public. “A landmark title that captured excellent national review coverage . . . a serious attempt to replace two misguided philosophies, one on the left and one on the right. Norman attacks Labour’s state centralism. More interestingly, he also questions the liberal market economics which not long ago seemed a prerequisite of Tory thinking.” —Julian Glover, Guardian “[C]oheres major recent academic advances, and is argued with urgency. Next time you hear someone caterwauling about the lack of big ideas in politics, refer them to this.” —Amol Rajan, Independent

Television News and the Limits of Globalisation Rong Zeng Published here for the first time is a comparison between competing television channels, British and Chinese, showing how different cultural values, and world views, bear upon the business of news production.

Despite similarities in technology and organization and the rapid development of transnationalism, globalization nonetheless has its limits. At a time of radical economic and technological change, Zeng goes inside the newsrooms to analyze their news products and bulletins at first hand in order fully to understand the limits and opportunities for global journalism in today’s rapidly changing world. This project is the only study so far to compare broadcast journalists and their working practices in the UK and China. It will contribute to the Anglophone knowledge of Chinese television journalists and news production as well as to Chinese knowledge of British journalists and news production. It will also contribute to the field of comparative journalism and endeavors to understand global journalism in different national and cultural settings.

Compassionate Conservatism What it Is—Why We Need it Jesse Norman and Janan Ganesh David Cameron has made compassionate conservatism a priority for the Conservative Party, famously saying that; there is such a thing as society; it’s just not the same thing as the state.

But what is compassionate conservatism? What does it have to say about the challenges that face Britain today? What vision of society does it offer to inspire and guide future policymaking? These are the subjects of this provocative and important book. “Superb ... What the Conservatives need now is not re-branding but an actual philosophical and policy basis for action. This book brilliantly provides that basis. It shows not just why the Tories are ready for government again, but why Britain needs them—badly.”—Andrew Sullivan, Sunday Times columnist “At once profound and accessible, this book is rewarding reading for anyone interested in political ideas, and indispensable to those on the centre right. It provides the first philosophical definition of the new, 21st-century conservatism.”—Charles Moore, former Editor of the Daily Telegraph and biographer of Lady Thatcher

Classical Liberalism in the 21st Century Essays in honour of Norman Barry NEW TITLES

Michael James, editor Liberty has underpinned the Judeo-Christian ideal for millennia, and it was the idea of liberty that molded Europe. Britain, too, was forged by liberty, and British leadership in commerce and politics flowed out of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which established the Bill of Rights and the rule of law. But liberty is constantly under threat from governments and their apologists who seek to over-tax and overregulate.

Norman P. Barry played a significant part in the revival of classical liberal ideas in Britain since the 1970s. A political theorist by training, he was well-equipped to explore and expound the origins of the classical liberal tradition in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the philosophical foundations of the modern classical liberal agenda of limited government, the rule of law and free markets. His earlier publications include Hayek’s Social and Economic Philosophy, On Classical Liberalism and Libertarianism and The New Right. In the later years his focus on applying classical liberal principles to a range of public policy issues resulted in a number of publications including Welfare and Business Ethics. As a political theorist engaging with economics, he was an effective expositor of the Austrian School of economics and of the public choice analysis of government. Norman Barry was a lucid and engaging writer and teacher who used his talent for wit and irony to good effect in communicating often difficult or dry ideas to a wide and appreciative audience. In March 2009 a symposium was held in honor of Norman P. Barry at the University of Buckingham, where he had been Professor of Social and Political Theory since 1984. Originally planned for his retirement, the symposium became a fitting commemoration for him following his death in October 2008. Most of the contributions to this collection are based on the papers read at the symposium, by distinguished authors from Britain, the United States and beyond. Some of them review and assess Norman Barry’s achievement as a scholar and a teacher. Several are devoted to topics to which Norman Barry made major contributions, such as business ethics and the modern relevance of Hayek‘s road to serfdom thesis. Others deal with topics such as environmental protection and social capital, which present equal challenges to the future relevance and vitality of the classical liberal tradition.

Arguments for Liberty NEW TITLES

A Libertarian Miscellany J C Lester This essential volume helps to explain what libertarianism is, and isn’t

Liberty is what libertarians advocate. Both because of the inherent value of human liberty and because of the increasing wealth and welfare it brings to all. They see the aggressive coercion of the state as the main enemy of liberty .The solution is to roll back the state until there is little or no state left. Libertarianism has been rapidly growing since the 1970s. But it is still not commonly understood or even given a proper hearing. However, you will increasingly come across it. Often it will be state enthusiasts disingenuously claiming to be ‘libertarians’. At other times it will be state enthusiasts attacking libertarianism as an ‘extremist’ ideology. And very occasionally it will be real libertarians explaining and defending their views.

Politics/ Ideology

The most relevant and plausible conceptions of economic rationality, interpersonal liberty, human welfare, and private-property anarchy do not conflict in theory or practice. Using philosophy and social science, Escape from Leviathan defends this bold, non-normative, thesis from contrary positions in the scholarly literature.

Writers considered include David Friedman, John Gray, R. M. Hare, Robert Nozick, Karl Popper, John Rawls, Murray Rothbard, Alan Ryan, Amartya Sen, and Bernard Williams. The rationality assumptions of neoclassical and Austrian School economics are reconciled and related to liberty and welfare. A new pre-propertarian theory of interpersonal liberty as the absence of (initiated or proactively) imposed cost is argued to be libertarian. Human welfare is defended as the satisfaction of unimposed wants. Practical anarchy is simply unconstrained private property. Related topics include free will, weakness of will, the nature of moralizing, intellectual property, and restitution and retribution. Criticalrationalist epistemology (theories can only be criticized and tested, not justified or supported) is applied throughout. This is a ground-breaking work that is also an excellent introduction to libertarianism and social thought. “Escape from Leviathan … remains a ground-breaking work while remaining an excellent introduction to libertarianism and social thought. It is essential reading for anyone interested in liberty and human welfare. Outstanding...he tackles the subject with the consummate skill of an expert in the field...Lester’s arguments are presented with sophistication and are informed by an impressive mastery of the secondary literature.” —Norman Barry, Professor of Social and Political Theory, University of Buckingham “(A) remarkable book, informed by a masterly knowledge of economics and filled with careful analytical detail. He deals with a vast range of criticisms, and in the process undoes a great deal of theoretical mischief on the relations between these important concepts, including much by philosophers of major reputation. His accounts of instrumental rationality, of property rights, of public goods problems, and of restitution for criminal cases, are important contributions and will be discussed with interest for long. Few among us will fail to benefit from reading it.” —Professor Jan Narveson

Science vs. Superstition The Case for a New Scientific Enlightenment NEW TITLES

Policy Exchange with James Panton & Oliver Marc Hartwich, editors An important and well-argued call to reason by eminent scientists

Humankind’s greatest collective achievement, Science, is under threat. Science vs Superstition challenges the common belief that in today’s world there is no such thing as progress which is not dangerous or at least questionable. While many people seem to lack the vision of a genuinely better future, the authors believe that it is time to make the case for a more positive attitude towards the future—a future that is made better through science. “This is a brilliant expose of the misanthropy, irrationality, and innumeracy that characterizes much of current debate on issues such as GM crops, vivisection, the regulation of science, and the appropriate response to global warming. It shows how suspicion of science—humankind’s greatest collective achievement—is rooted in human self-hatred. What the book lacks in length, it makes up for in importance.” —Raymond Tallis, Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences

Published jointly with the POLICY EXCHANGE, the independent think tank whose mission is to develop and promote new policy ideas which will foster a free society based on strong communities, personal freedom, limited government, national self-confidence and an enterprise culture.

British Jewry Since Emancipation Geoffrey Alderman An update and reexamination of the history of Jews in modern Britain

In 1987 Oxford University Press commissioned Alderman to write a history of the Jews of the United Kingdom since emancipation—effectively the story of British Jewry since the mid-nineteenth century. The volume (published in 1992) was conceived as a sequel to the History of the Jews in England which, written by the late Dr Cecil Roth, was first published in 1941, and which had virtually ended with the granting of full political equality in 1858. This work—of which a second edition was published in 1998—is designed to take the story forward, but also to avoid some of the limitations that had characterized the Roth volume, especially its preoccupation with what I called, in 1992, ‘public relations history,’ its superficial treatment of certain topics then perceived as sensitive (such as the anti-Jewish prejudice that had accompanied the great immigration of Jews from eastern Europe at the end of the 19th century) and its reluctance to address what we would call nowadays ‘contemporary history.’ The text of this volume is based, on the 1998 history bringing that up to date. The opportunity has been taken to correct some errors, and to expand the narrative and its attendant footnotes to take account of recent research. The final chapter is substantially an original essay, based to some extent on materials made available to the author on a nonattributable basis. GEOFFREY ALDERMAN is an academic and journalist specializing in modern British and European history and British and American politics. He is an internationally acknowledged authority on voting behavior, pressure groups and the impact of religious and ethnic groups on political life. He has also written extensively on problems of quality and standards in university education. Geoffrey Alderman studied history at Oxford, where he completed his BA and DPhil. Professor Alderman is the author, co-author and editor of some 16 books. He writes irregularly for the Guardian and the Times and regularly for the Jewish Chronicle. He appears frequently on radio and television as an authority on the Jewish world, the politics of the Middle East, and issues of quality and management in higher education.

A Silent Gene Theory of Evolution NEW TITLES

Warwick Collins Foreword by Donald Braben Two distinguished scientists encouraged Warwick Collins in writing his revolutionary theory of evolution. Professor Freeman Dyson, one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists, wrote, “I like your theory, and think it has a good chance of being right.”

He added, “Darwin would have liked your theory.” Professor Donald Braben, a nuclear physicist who directed a series of wide-ranging research programs at BP, responded, “Hierarchically speaking, variation is of greater significance than selection. I agree, therefore, that if silent gene theory were proved correct, it would be the more complete theory, as Einstein’s is compared with Newton’s.” Charles Darwin wrote in The Origin of Species that “... unless profitable variations do occur, natural selection can do nothing.” As Darwin recognized, natural selection, far from increasing variation within species, reduces variation constantly in favor of an optimum type. What then is the true source of variation in evolutionary systems? It is a question which has obsessed Warwick Collins, a novelist who had studied biology at university, for much of his adult life.

Science/ Biology/ Evolution

He proposed in March 2000 that the required degree of variation could be achieved if large numbers of inert or silent genes existed within the genome. Such genes, because they do not code for physical characteristics, could freely mutate over time without deleteriously affecting the host organism. At a later stage they could be switched on, by largely random processes, and generate exotic new variants. Remarkably, his description of silent genes was found to correspond precisely with the so-called junk genes. These are found in all species, forming the great majority of genes in multicellular species and rising to 98.5% of the genome in humans. Until then their function had proved mysterious. In addition, Collins’s theory predicted a number of features of the silent or junk genes which have since been increasingly verified by recent research: for example, that they could become active and begin to code, and that they influenced other genes. It is now widely accepted that, just as Collins predicted, the vast majority of significant mutation in the genomes of complex species arises from the silent genes. But Collins’s powerful and ambitious theory moves well beyond the molecular realm. He argues that while natural selection is a major force in evolution, it is primarily negative and entropic. Instead, the great driver of complex evolution is the range of variation created by the silent genes. As Professor Donald Braben writes in his illuminating foreword, “Collins is proposing a general evolutionary theory which, if it continues to be supported by the data, may in due course come to rival Darwin’s theory that evolution is driven by natural selection.” Christopher Hawkins, the economist and former MP, wrote, “This book should be read by everyone who is interested in the origin of our species.” WARWICK COLLINS studied biology at Sussex University, where his tutor was the theoretical biologist John Maynard Smith. His first poems were published by the magazine Encounter when he was in his early twenties. He has since published ten novels, including The Sonnets and Gents. Gents has been reviewed in the Times in its series of all-time literary classics.

The Butterfly Hunter The Life of Henry Walter Bates NEW TITLES

Anthony Crawforth There are the three great names in 19th Century biology. Charles Darwin, Alfred Wallace and Henry Walter Bates and yet the only full biography of Bates was written in 1969. This woeful void is remedied by Anthony Crawforth.

Bates was a crucial figure and played an important part in helping both Darwin and Wallace complete their thinking. Batesian Mimicry, as it is still known, developed from the study of butterflies in the amazon rainforest (with Wallace) and provided important supporting evidence for Darwin. And it was Darwin who persuaded Bates to write his travel memoir The Naturalist on the River Amazons and indeed proof read the manuscript. On his travels Bates collected over 14,000 specimens of which over 8,000 were at the time new to science. He later went on to become the administrator for the Royal Geographical Society and transformed the society to one which combined exploration with academic research and was responsible for placing geography on the school curriculum. This is a long overdue book that reassesses Bates’s life and work and finally places both the man and his work in their rightful place alongside the other greats. ANTHONY CRAWFORTH was born in Coventry in 1934. Educated at King Henry VIII School, he joined the Army for his National Service in 1952 and left as a Colonel in 1979. He then went to City University where he gained his MA in Museum Management whilst taking up an appointment as administrator for the Rothschild family at Waddesdon Manor. Leaving there in 1996, he became a lecturer on the University of Buckingham in their Arts and Heritage Management undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Fascinated by Henry Walter Bates since his childhood he studied for his PhD in Biography at Buckingham with Bates as his subject. Married with three children and six grandchildren he now lives in Buckinghamshire. He is a Fellow of the Linnaean Society.

Charles Dickens and the Mid-Victorian Press, 1850-1870 Hazel MacKenzie and Ben Winyard, editors Introduction by John Drew Foreword by Michael Slater Essential reading for the academic as well as general contemporary Dickens readership, this series of essays looks at Dickens use of the periodical to deliver his message of social reform

With the phenomenally popular weekly magazines Household Words and All the Year Round Charles Dickens effectively re-invented periodical literature in the nineteenth century. Already enjoying huge stature as a world-famous author, Dickens was often the principal contributor of the journals that carried the novels serialized within them. As, by his own term, the“conductor” of the weekly magazines, he was able to direct the gaze of his readership, easily eliding fiction and non-fiction, to those things that most concerned him— poverty, crime, education, public health, women, and social welfare and reform. This collection of new essays from a rich variety of contributors, explores the journalism and fiction in Household Words and All Year Round and their relationship to the wider publishing world. The essays were presented at the Dickens Journals Online Conference launched in March 2012. HAZEL MACKENZIE was educated at the Universities of Glasgow and York, and was a guest lecturer at the University of Strathclyde. She worked in academic publishing for three years before being appointed as Senior Editor on the Leverhulme-funded Dickens Journals Online project at Buckingham in 2011. She is now a Lecturer in English Literature in the Department.

Person-Centered Healthcare NEW TITLES

How to Practise and Teach PCH Andrew Miles, editor This collection of 30+ essays from experts in the field of Person-Centered Healthcare

Despite exponential increases in biomedical and technological advance over the 100 years that have radically transformed the scope, possibility and power of clinical practice, there is a growing and pervasive sense of unease within international medicine that all is not entirely well, leading to claims that medicine has entered a time of significant crisis—a crisis of knowledge, care, compassion and costs. As medicine has become more powerfully scientific, it has also become increasingly depersonalized, so that in some areas of clinical practice an over-reliance on science in the care of patients has led to the substitution of scientific medicine with scientistic medicine and an accompanying collapse of humanistic values in the profession and practice of medicine. Since medicine has the unalterable imperative to care, comfort and console as well as to ameliorate, attenuate and cure, the perpetuation of a modern myth in medicine—that now that we can cure we have no more responsibility to care—risks the creation of an ethical and moral chaos within clinical practice and the generation of negative outcomes for both patients and clinicians alike.

Medicine/ Caregiving

Observations of a ‘de-coupling’ of medicine’s so-called art and science base date from the late eighteenth century and have continued throughout the nineteenth century as part of the ‘patient as a person’ movement. Recently, medicine has witnessed the emergence of the separate evidence-based medicine (EBM) and patient-centered care (PCC) movements, two initiatives that have developed in parallel but which have rarely entered into intellectual and clinical exchange, leading to fears that now, when it is so important for them to coalesce, they are poised to collide. ANDREW MILES is the editor of Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice and the European Journal for Person Centered Healthcare.

Thought Prison The Fundamental Nature of Political Correctness NEW TITLES

Bruce G Charlton The book explores the ramifications of PC on language, and thus thought; its casual denial of logic and insidious reach into the realms of science and learning; its total saturation of its twin supports, the mass media and ruling elites. Once the collectively self-imposed blinkers, of good causes and good intentions, are stripped away we can see the nanny state and moral universe beyond for what it is—a catastrophic delusion that is destroying the world we know.

Most of us think of political correctness in terms of its scope for irony. It provides opportunity to protect us from a vaguely troubling acceptance of an enforced orthodoxy. We are familiar with the no-go areas defined by PC taboos—race, sex (or to be PC, gender), ethnicity, sexual preference, disability, class—and indeed of it being an engineered term to suit political and scientific argument. What we may be less able to accept is that PC is something in which we are all complicit. This book examines the way we are now, and how the Western world has come to be that way. It reveals an Orwellian dystopia that instead of being characterized by a crude authoritarian elite, is supported and driven by an irrational yet equally totalitarian and allpervasive status quo of our own making, dominating politics, economics, public administration, law, education, the military, health services—our very selves. BRUCE CHARLTON is Professor of Theoretical Medicine, University of Buckingham, UK and Reader in Evolutionary Psychiatry, Newcastle University, UK. Prof Charlton researches widely in evolutionary psychology and psychiatry, and on the role of scientific consensus and social mechanisms in biomedical research. From 2003 to 2010 he was editor of Medical Hypotheses. He is also an editor of The Journal of Hypotheses in the Life Sciences.

Edward Thring Independent Educationalist Nigel Richardson No proper biography of Thring has ever been written—despite the fact that he was headmaster and second founder of Uppingham over 34 years from 1853-87, and arguably the founding figure in the Headmaster’s Conference (HMC) in 1869.

Edward Thring features prominently in all the educational histories of his period, and is seen as the foremost figure in independent schools in the generation after the famous Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby. This book draws on new material and letters discovered in an archive. And archive it was assumed had perished in a fire; it shows just how groundbreaking his reforms really were; how sound or otherwise his methods of financing Uppingham were, and why he polarized people between passionate supporters and strong opponents. This biography also includes the bitter battle over who should be his literary executor. NIGEL RICHARDSON taught history at Uppingham 1971-89; was Second Master 1983-9 and house tutor of L and C. After leaving Uppingham he was Head of the Dragon School, Oxford; the Deputy Head of the King’s School in Macclesfield; the Head of the Perse School, Cambridge 1994-2008 and Chairman of the Headmasters’ Conference in 2007. He is now a book editor/writer, governor of several HMC schools, appraiser of Heads, and Syndic of the Cambridge University Press. JUNE 2014 Hardcover

Tragedy of Riches NEW TITLES

How our Politics has Failed Us and Why We Need a New Economic Destiny Stephen Barber The great riches of Western Europe and the United States have been accumulated over six decades. That the world economy is still only shakily recovering from the credit crunch serves only to underline our misplaced faith in a system ill-equipped to deal with our real needs in the twenty first century. Paradoxically, our riches are now the cause of our greatest problems.

This book offers a devastating analysis of our political system, and argues that the captains of the baby boom generation milked its economic prosperity while failing to deliver a sustainable ideology. Accepted for so long, the post-war ‘mixed economic settlement’ of three contrasting forms of economic, welfare and social liberalism have reached the limits of what can now be achieved without fundamental political change. The comfortable bubble of Western economic prosperity has created a rich, complacent society that has, in pursuit of hedonistic and consumer-driven short term interests, lost sight of its original goals. If the real lessons have not been learned, there is a real danger, for reasons of political convenience and economic dogmatism, that the system that generated the crisis will not be reformed. This book makes a passionate case that instead of accepting a status quo of dysfunctional modern economics we must now create a new, political settlement prepared to tackle the great issues of our age before it is too late.

Unlucky Strike Private Health and the Science, Law and Politics of Smoking NEW TITLES

John Staddon Original illustrations by David Hockney If smoking is shown to have no public cost, why are smokers victimized?

Smoking has been controversial ever since tobacco came to Europe in the sixteenth century. Fifty years ago, almost everyone smoked. Fifty years before that, smokers were in the doghouse—cigarettes were illegal in several U.S. states early in the twentieth century. Smoking has always been a ready source of revenue. It has also been a source of health problems, real and imagined. The mixture of pleasure, money and health risk means that smoking is rarely treated fairly by politicians, health professionals or the public. Now, tough anti-smoking laws are almost universal. The misinformation about, and unreasoning hostility directed at, smoking and smokers—and the sight of smokers, usually poor, puffing desperately outside in winter weather—is one reason for this book. Smoking has no public cost. It puts individual smokers at risk. It does not put the public purse at risk. Prompted by this surprising discovery, Staddon looked further into the facts. The more he looked, the weaker the case against smoking as a public health issue became. Is Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) really dangerous to children? How do they know? Does it really cause sudden infant death? How do they know that? Proving that smoking can cause an ever-growing list of ailments requires a scientific case that is often impossible to make, for logical, ethical and practical reasons. The case against ETS, in particular, is exceedingly weak.

This is a masterly, immensely readable and totally convincing narrative of 500 years of this great and mightily important British industry In fact, this new book describes with great insight and clarity the development, growth and decline of two industries: first, the highly skilled trade of crafting wooden sailing ships; and, second, the story of the iron and steel shipbuilding industry that took its place. At one time dozens of small yards were busy building the small wooden trading vessels that were the mainstay of British trade with the world, but with the advent of steam power, and of iron hulls, the British industry gradually became concentrated in a few great shipbuilding regions such as the North East, the Clyde and Belfast. ANTHONY SLAVEN, for many years Professor of Business History at the University of Glasgow, is uniquely well placed to write this definitive history of the British shipbuilding industry.

Sir Henry Littlejohn was Police Surgeon and Medical Officer of Health for Edinburgh. He researched, wrote and published the seminal Report on the Sanitary Condition of Edinburgh in 1865. The rigor and persuasiveness of his writings led to the City Council implementing many of his public-health ‘suggestions’ and within less than twenty years the city’s death rates had declined dramatically by 32 per cent. This new book describes the life and work of Littlejohn and also reproduces, with commentary, the text of the original Report. DR. PAUL LAXTON was a Geography lecturer with a keen interest in public health. RICHARD RODGER is Professor of Economic and Social History at Edinburgh University.

A Social History of Britain 1750–1914

PR E VIOUS LY AN N OUN C E D

John K. Walton A general overview of the British Isles during perhaps the most interesting and varied period of its history, told by Britain’s foremost social historian

John Walton is one of Britain’s foremost social historians. He is able to explain the past with great clarity and insight, using memorable turns of phrase to convey an impression of how people lived and worked. He has brought all of his talents to bear in this, his latest book, a general overview of the British Isles during perhaps the most interesting and varied period of its history. Between 1750 and 1914 Britain was at the forefront of industrialization, the world’s first global superpower with what became the world’s largest empire. Britons pioneered, invented, and believed that they led the world in rational progress. Yet the enormous economic and social changes of the period could also bring dislocation, poverty, pollution, noise and danger. Professor Walton ably describes the many different strands of experience during this turbulent century and a half of progress as well as the growing pains of what had become the world’s first industrial nation.

Kalahari Summer In photographs and oils Robert Grogan Evocative depiction of the Kalahari in its season of abundance through an innovative and fresh approach that expertly combines art and photography in presenting the region

Although for many the Kalahari evokes images of a vast dry desert of thirsty red sands, it is the capricious summer landscape that has lured Robert Grogan back to this region for more than 30 years. He has braved unpredictable storms, impassable roads, fierce heat and humidity, insects and tall grass for the chance to paint the summer cloud banks and startling transformations rendered by the rains. He has photographed, too, the iconic wildlife, as well as seasonal delights, such as butterflies, wildflowers and the springbok lambing season. This vibrant collection of landscape paintings and magnificent wildlife photographs brings the Kalahari’s lush and beautiful summer season vividly to life. MARCH 2014 Hardcover

The Garden Route and Little Karoo NEW TITLES

Between the desert and the deep blue sea Leon Nell ‘A book that is a joy to pick up and page through—one that will always take me back to where I’ve been.’ Such is the intention behind this book, a description of the lush rainforest area of the Garden Route and the paradox of its proximity with the semidesert of the Little Karoo.

The author explores key areas of the coastal stretch between Mossel Bay and Storms River and of the broad valley, the Little Karoo, on the other side of the Outeniqua and Tsitsikama mountains. Both regions are home to a great variety of plants and animals and are opened up and linked by roads built with great skill and massive effort through mountain passes and across rivers. Thousands visit these spectacular areas, heading for the sea or—in the opposite direction— the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees and the Cango Caves. This book will give them a glimpse of the wild and wonderful life along the way in a land steeped in history and natural diversity. MARCH 2014 Paperback

Robben Island A Place of Inspiration: Mandela’s Prison Island Charlene Smith The most comprehensive book on the social, political and environmental history of Robben Island, from the 15th century to the present, written by an award-winning investigative South African journalist, now based in the United States

Robben Island—best known as the place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for eighteen years—has been a place of harshness and brutality; its history steeped in the suffering of those banished there. Yet it has also become a universal symbol of hope, forgiveness, and triumph. With a storyteller’s sensibility, combined with rigorous research, Charlene Smith charts the evolution of the Island’s political and social history, from mail station, place of exile, and military defence post to maximum security prison and World Heritage Site. Fully revised, this new edition of Robben Island provides absorbing accounts of daring escapes, maritime disasters, lepers ostracized from mainland society, the fates of the great Xhosa chiefs of the nineteenth century, and the unique bonds of friendship and compassion forged among the political prisoners confined on the Island during the apartheid era.

The Assault on the Rand Kevin Wakeford and the Battle to Save a Currency NEW TITLES

Barry Sergeant The explosive story of the rand’s collapse in 2001 and the events that followed. The book also explores more recent banking scandals around the world, giving a hardhitting exposé of greed, collusion and manipulation in the markets.

When the rand collapsed from 7.60 to 13.84 to the US dollar in 2001, Kevin Wakeford blew the whistle, accusing three big corporates and one global bank of being party to manipulation in the currency markets. Wakeford predicted that the rand was on its way to 20, 30, 40 and possibly 50 to the dollar, which would have thrown the seven-year-old democracy into economic and political turmoil. As a result of his intervention, a Rand Commission was set up by President Mbeki to investigate his claims, and the rand’s collapse was arrested and reversed. The Rand Commission was, however, shut down prematurely and Wakeford was fired as CEO of the South African Chamber of Business. While the Enron and WorldCom scandals in the United States triggered comprehensive corporate reform, it seemed that South African authorities were determined to cover up any wrongdoing. Sergeant exposes the role of a major global bank, which foreshadows the banking scandals that have rocked the world more recently. Written with the full cooperation of Kevin Wakeford, one of South Africa’s most inspirational business leaders, and who has made all his information available to the author.

The Zuma Years NEW TITLES

South Africa’s Changing Face of Power Richard Calland The face of power in South Africa is rapidly changing—for better and for worse. In The Zuma Years, political analyst Richard Calland investigates various forms of power, giving an accessible yet authoritative account of who runs South Africa, and how, today.

The years since Thabo Mbeki was swept aside by Jacob Zuma’s ‘coalition of the wounded’ have been especially tumultuous, with the rise and fall of populist politicians such as Julius Malema, the terrible events at Marikana, and the embarrassing Guptagate scandal. What lies behind these developments? How does the Zuma presidency exercise its power? Who makes foreign policy? What goes on in cabinet meetings? What is the state of play in the Alliance—is the SACP really more powerful than before and, as the landscape shifts, what are the opposition’s prospects? In The Zuma Years, Richard Calland attempts to answer these questions, and more, by holding up a mirror to the new establishment; by examining key drivers of transformation in South Africa, such as the professions and the universities; and by training a spotlight on the toxic mix of money and politics.

The Historical Karoo Traces of the Past in South Africa’s Arid Interior NEW TITLES

Chris Schoeman The Historical Karoo takes you on a journey through the Karoo, revealing the history that can be found in this hot, arid region of South Africa. It tells the stories of travelers, literary figures, statesmen and politicians and medical pioneers who have lived or passed through the region, and of the wars that have been fought there.

To many people, the Karoo represents nothing more than a monotonous, hot and arid landscape to be driven through quickly on the way to somewhere else. But in this vast, open region, history is everywhere. And that is exactly the purpose of The Historical Karoo—to point out all the many places, buildings, objects and associated personalities of historical interest in the Karoo. The Karoo has been the world of travelers, literary figures (Olive Schreiner and Rudyard Kipling), statesmen and politicians (Sir Winston Churchill) and medical pioneers (Dr Chris Barnard). It has also been the scene of serious conflict, of which the many old British blockhouses, forts, grave sites and memorials dating from the Anglo-Boer War are vivid reminders; and it still boasts old examples of vernacular and industrial architecture, and engineering, in the form of corbelled houses, water mills and bridges. The Historical Karoo takes you on a journey through the Karoo, providing short background histories of its towns and pointing out the sites, buildings and other aspects of interest. The book is enlivened by historical and current photographs and interesting side panels. It reveals the history that can be found in the barren Karoo in towns, buildings, forts, memorials and other historical sites.

The Kings of Swing Behind the Scenes with South Africa’s Golfing Greats Craig Urquhart The combined story of South Africa’s Major winners has never been told—and a fascinating tale it is!

This is the intimate and extraordinary story of a group of South African golfers who have won numerous Major championships. Their victories were achieved despite decades of sporting isolation and, during the post-apartheid era, in the shadow of possibly the greatest athlete of all time. It is a story of the power of the mind and the power of the body in this, the most fickle of all sports. It is a story of dramatic highs and lows, of desperate poverty and fabulous wealth. An essential read for all golf lovers. This is a story of plane, train and car crashes, psychosurgery, a lightning strike, a broken beer bottle, a caddie named Squeaky, a misplaced marker, a beautiful autistic boy and a scandal that ensnared the country’s most famous sportsman and led to the resignation of a prime minister. Welcome to a rare glimpse into the extraordinary lives of South Africa’s top golfers . . . The book is based on interviews with the golfers, their family members, coaches and sports psychologists, among others, as well as extensive research.

Soaps, Bubbles & Scrubs NEW TITLES

Natural products to make for your body and home Nicole Seabrook Soaps, Bubbles & Scrubs provides 100 simple, easy-to-follow recipes for use in your home and for your family’s everyday life

After attending a natural product workshop during her time as an aromatherapy student, Nicole Seabrook became interested in creating her own, personalized natural products. Her mission to discontinue using chemical products in her home in favor of ‘all things natural’ proved a tough challenge at first as it was difficult to source certain ingredients in South Africa. However, as consumers become more aware of the toxic chemicals present in everyday household cleaning agents and cosmetics, and are keen to ‘go green’, these ingredients are now readily available at specialty health shops and pharmacies. Nicole also saw the need for a book on how to make these products at home in a practical, affordable and easy way.

Animal Tales Volumes 3 and 4 G. R. von Wielligh Dale Blankenaar, illustrator Volumes 3 and 4 of stories that were gathered by G. R. Von Wielligh from the Khoikhoi people and are some of the oldest animal stories known in South Africa

In Animal Tales 3 we meet new animal characters such as Tiger, Crocodile and Rabbit. Poor Wolf still suffers under the hand and tricks of Jackal and is often outwitted by Jackal. In Animal Tales 4 poor Wolf continues his trials with Jackal. Again we see that poor Wolf is too dim-witted to realize that he is being tricked. He learns nothing from the mishaps that befall him; no, experience leaves Wolf none the wiser! The illustrations of up-and-coming artist Dale Blankenaar give new life to the antics of these animals. G.R. VON WIELLIGH (1859–1932) qualified as a surveyor and listened to Khoikhoi storytellers as a young boy and never lost interest. From 1880–1883 he had a surveyor’s office in Calvinia, and here he could visit Bushmanland and the Agter-Hantam and take notes. DALE BLANKENAAR studied graphic design at Cape Peninsula University. He majored in illustration and advertising and was mentored by Piet Grobler. After graduation he worked as a freelance designer for a year and during that time illustrated his first book. He now works as a promotions designer at Condé Nast and as a freelance illustrator of children’s books.

October NEW TITLES

Réney Warrington Jo, a professional photographer, and Leigh, a pop singer, meet in Johannesburg. Shortly afterwards their lives fall apart when both have to face their inner demons and issues.

After a bitter family feud because she is gay, photographer Jo is cut off from her niece and nephew. It is this loss that influences her photography from that point forward. She runs off to London, where she bumps into Leigh, a singer. Leigh encourages Jo to exhibit her photography in a London gallery. She becomes close to the two-year-old son of the gallery owner, and that only opens up old wounds. Leigh has her own demons to fight, but a romance nevertheless develops between the two, even though they both know Leigh’s relationships rarely last longer than three months. Can the love between them survive? Their courtship forms the core of this novel. “Warrington manages to photograph that which is not there. The empty spaces ask the viewer to see what the camera cannot. In October Warrington does the same with text.” —Izak de Vries RÉNEY WARRINGTON is a photographer and lives in Johannesburg. Some of Réney’s photographs form an integral part of her debut novel. She will shortly exhibit her second solo show.

Potent Pastimes Sport and leisure practices in modern Afrikaner history Albert Grundlingh This book looks at the different ways in which sport and leisure practices during certain historical eras were connected with wider concerns in Afrikaner society and how they contributed substantially to shaping the Afrikaner world of sport and leisure.

Social history has until now proven to be the most suitable point of departure to pursue the wider connections between sport, leisure and society or explore the interconnections between sport and leisure on the one hand and Afrikaner political and cultural projects on the other. Afrikaner groups at various stages in the twentieth century sought to spend their time when they were not at work by attending dog races during the thirties in Johannesburg, holidaying at the beach at Hartenbos in the southwestern Cape in the fifties or supporting or playing rugby and later cricket. The unifying theme that runs throughout this book is the different ways in which sport and leisure practices during certain historical eras were connected with wider concerns in Afrikaner society and how they contributed substantially to shaping the Afrikaner world of sport and leisure. This analysis of sport and society has a wider relevance. While standard nationalistic interpretations of Afrikaner political history have withered away since the advent of the African National Congress in 1994, in rugby the story of the fame and glory of the Springboks and their grounding in Afrikaner historical memory have carried on largely uninterrupted.

MARCH 2014 Paperback

ALBERT GRUNDLINGH is currently the Head of the History Department at the University of Stellenbosch. He is the author of two books, co-author of two and has also edited three books besides publishing a combined total of 60 articles and chapters in various books. Many of his publications have appeared in leading international journals. He specializes in social and cultural history with a particular interest in war and society. His major works deal with the so-called “Handsuppers” and “Joiners” during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902, Black South African troops during the First World War, and he would like to think that the book he has co-written on rugby and South African society is akin to dealing with the phenomenon of war in a different format.

Cancer Drugs A practical approach to drugs available to us Jean Trédaniel A guide to the leading drug therapies

What do doxorubicin and adriamycin have in common? Why can the indications for platinum compounds vary so much? Have monoclonal antibodies ousted cytotoxic drugs? What is an anticancer antibiotic? The aim of this book is to answer these questions, and all those that arise from being in contact with cancer drugs. To do this, we first need to classify each one in relation to the others. Each product is then described, detailing its official indications, as validated by its marketing license, then its dose, its mode of administration and the precautions that need to be taken when using it, any eventual resistance it may generate, and finally, the side effects it may cause. This book is not a pharmaceutical or pharmacological essay, nor is it a discourse on therapies. It is a practical guide to help you find your way among the mumble-jumble that is all the drugs which are available to us. It may be read from the first to the last page, or you can dip into it whenever you need specific information. JEAN TRÉDANIEL is a Professor of Oncology at Paris-Descartes University. He leads the thoracic cancerology unit of the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group. He is member of the Scientific Advisory Group – Oncology, of the European Medicines Agency, a body which examines the authorization requests for all new drugs used in cancerology.

Health/ Medicine/ Rheumatology

Designed to appeal to both students and established practitioners, this unique book provides an integrated view of the musculoskeletal physical examination process.

Musculoskeletal diseases affect a large proportion of the population. It is estimated that one in four visits to primary care physicians are related to these problems. In Canada, one in every six adults is affected, a figure that rises to 40% after age 65. In the coming decades, the number of cases is likely to rise in proportion to the increasing life expectancy. As the leading cause of work disability in a number of industrialized countries and the main cause of long-term disability in all age groups, arthritis comes with significant economic and social burden. Musculoskeletal diseases compromise patients’ functional abilities with approximately one-third of adults affected claiming to have physical limitations that restrict their daily activities. JEAN-LUC TREMBLAY is rheumatologist at Hospital Regional of Trois-Rivières and senior clinical lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Montreal. He is very involved in teaching both students and general practitioners.

The Geopolitics of the EU Borders Where should expansion stop? NEW TITLES

Pierre Verluise The aim of this work is to provide readers with a geopolitical vision of the European Union’s borders.

The prevailing uncertainty surrounding the limits of the European Union’s borders is nourishing an anxiety that the European elites seem all too happy to underestimate. Like a boomerang, this concern is fuelling an increasing sense of distance with regard to the European Union. This work offers clear, precise answers to the following questions: ■

How far does the European Union still plan to expand?

■

What relations does the EU now entertain with the Eastern countries that were so recently perceived as enemies?

■

How is the EU organizing its relations with the South?

This book will help to understand the serious issues that the European Union must address as it seeks to right-size against a global backdrop of economic crisis and geopolitical flux. PIERRE VERLUISE is a lecturer in Political Geography at the Sorbonne, Director of Diploweb.com, and Director of Research at IRIS (Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques ). He founded the seminar on European geopolitics at the French War College. He is Distinguished Professor of Geopolitics at GEM (Grenoble Ecole de Management).

Make Your Own Living Trust & Avoid Probate NEW TITLES

2nd Edition Enodare With detailed information, easy-to-follow instructions, helpful worksheets and all of the forms necessary, this book shows both individuals and couples how to avoid the otherwise inevitable delays and costs of probate by preparing their own revocable living trusts and employing other simple probate avoidance strategies.

A revocable living trust is a type of trust created for the purpose of holding ownership of an individual’s assets during that person’s lifetime, and for distributing those assets after their death. This particular type of trust can be an excellent tool for solving a number of issues confronting individuals and families today, including the avoidance of probate, the management of property during periods of incapacity, the protection of property for beneficiaries who can’t handle an inheritance on their own, protecting assets from disgruntled heirs, the elimination or minimization of federal estate taxes, and the assurance that personal affairs will remain private. This self-help legal book provides you with step-by-step instructions, detailed information and all the legal forms necessary to enable you to establish your own revocable living trust. ■

Living Trust Kit Enodare A revocable living trust allows you to avoid the costs and delays usually associated with probate; as well as provide for the management of assets during any period in which you are incapacitated. This self-help legal kit includes step-by-step instructions, detailed information and all the legal forms necessary to make a revocable living trust without the need or expense of engaging a lawyer.

Due to increased media attention, most of us are now aware of the substantial costs and delays associated with probate. Fortunately, these problems can be avoided by simply creating a living trust. A living trust is a trust used for the purpose of avoiding probate. It is easy to set up and simply involves completing and signing a trust agreement in which you name yourself as both grantor (creator of the trust) and trustee of the trust. Once the trust is set up, you then transfer some or all of your assets to it. As trustee, you are responsible for the management of the trust assets. When you die, the assets are distributed to the beneficiaries named in the trust agreement. However, as the assets are held in the trust's name rather than in your personal name, they will not form part of your probate estate and therefore do not need to go through probate. This allows for the assets to be distributed quickly after your death. MARCH 2014 Paper + CD-ROM

Powers of attorney come in two forms, namely ordinary and durable. Ordinary powers of attorney can be useful where you wish to simply authorize someone to tend to some financial or commercial matter on your behalf such as buying or selling real estate. However, they come to an automatic end if you become mentally incapacitated. Durable powers of attorney, on the other hand, do not come to an end when you become incapacitated. As such, they can be used to appoint someone you trust to manage your legal and financial affairs during any period in which you are incapacitated. They even allow you to appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated and unable to make those decisions yourself. MARCH 2014 Paper + CD-ROM

Make Your Own Living Will 2nd Edition Enodare In this book, we show you how to create your own living will while at the same time taking a look at the various legalities surrounding the making of living wills, when they become effective and the procedures they cover. We also take a close look at related areas such as healthcare powers of attorney, do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders and organ donation.

A living will allows you to instruct your healthcare providers and your family regarding the use or non-use of certain life-sustaining medical procedures in the event that you become terminally ill or permanently unconscious and unable to communicate your own healthcare wishes. If the absence of having a living will, close family members will generally be allowed to make life-sustaining medical decisions for you during any period in which you are terminally ill or permanently incapacitated (mentally) and unable to make these decisions yourself. While this can be beneficial, there is always a risk that your family members do not make the decisions you would have wanted. MARCH 2014 Paper + CD-ROM

Liberties Press was founded in July 2003 and has, in the course of the past 10 years, become established as one of Ireland’s leading independent publishers. Since its inception, the press has published over 100 titles across non-fiction, literary fiction, crime fiction, and poetry. Some of the titles we have published have won considerable acclaim and enjoyed good commercial success, notably titles by current Irish President Michael D. Higgins, and award-winning crime fiction writer Declan Burke. We have recently launched an imprint Liberties North which publishes fiction, non-fiction and poetry from Northern Irish writers, including debut fiction novelist Bethany Dawson, poet Moyra Donaldson and an upcoming title from award-winning BBC Northern Ireland broadcaster Mark Carruthers. Liberties Press believes in and is excited by books of all genres and is committed to publishing books that appeal to and represent the Irish public.

Great Irish People Seamus Moran From the Armagh footballer who introduced the penalty kick to the Cork inventor who installed the first floodlight system at the Statue of Liberty, Ireland’s thirty-two counties have been providing innumerable Irish men and women around the world for hundreds of years. With the eyes of the world focusing on Ireland—and Irish roots—Great Irish People celebrates the achievements of these Irish men and women.

Great Irish People traces those memorable Irish figures from the Flight of the Earls in 1607 throughout the most dramatic four centuries in the country’s history, culminating in the Good Friday Agreement. This period saw men and women of Ireland reach dizzying heights, not only within Ireland but worldwide, including: Antrim’s Chaim Herzog became President of Israel; Derry’s Chames Thomson designed the Great Seal of the USA; Cork’s Matthew Thornton was a signatory of the American Declaration of Independence; Armagh’s Arthur Hunter was the Premier of Queensland and Carlow’s Patrick Francis Moran the Archbishop of Sydney.

Imagine BBC’s Country File crossed with the cult series Eurotrash, or Father Ted… Now imagine it as a book of true stories, written by an insider who has travelled the length and breadth of Ireland seeking out the weird, the wacky, the raunchy and the downright shocking… this is Wacky Eire. An outrageous romp through the real Ireland—where ancient traditions and modern obsessions make lively bedfellows and where people constantly surprise you: naughty farmers, dodgy faith-healers, secret swingers, strippers, animal antics—they’re all here in words and pictures. Ranging from scandalous exposes to charming vignettes of rural life, this is the brazen face—and other bodily parts—of modern Ireland. Welcome to Wacky Eire—it’s stranger than fiction. GERALDINE COMISKEY is the Sunday World’s roving reporter, rooting out Ireland’s wackiest stories. Her best-known scoop for the Sunday paper was the Thierry Henry doorstep ‘ambush’, when she appeared on the front pages of nearly every newspaper in the world, and TV news bulletins from Bogotá to Bangkok. Geraldine had her first news story published at the age of 14, in the Evening Herald and since then has worked for a variety of regional and national papers, including The Irish Times, Irish Daily Star, Irish Daily Mirror, Irish Sun, Sunday Tribune and The Irish Press, amongst many others. As the Irish Daily Star’s adventure correspondent, she had many wacky assignments including: getting set on fire by stuntmen, dancing on the wings of a World War II bi-plane, joining a circus trapeze troupe, and learning to shoot with the elite Garda ERU. Outside her life as a journalist, she has had many jobs, including a stint as a TEFL teacher in Italy, which she expanded into interpretation and translation work with her fluent Italian.

As society undergoes rapid change and we face perhaps the bleakest economic conditions in modern memory, it is not surprising that the issue of mental health has become more prominent and somewhat more openly discussed. The problems of depression and anxiety seem to be the most prevalent with often debilitating effects on the sufferers and their families. However, in many cases, these afflictions can be treated and risks of recurrence significantly reduced. Applying a system which uses color-coded flags for various mental states and problems, Dr. Barry explains the role our minds and brains play in the manifestation of depression and anxiety, and how these in turn can be shaped to lead us out of illness. The book takes a holistic view and examines the numerous medical, psychological and complimentary therapies that can all help in negotiating a pathway out of depression and anxiety There are color illustrations and extra appendices at the end of the book including information on self-help groups and resources available.

Joe Joyce Written by an experienced and established author, playwright and journalist, this is a fast-paced and gripping historical thriller that reveals the hidden depths of political, military and human conflict in 1940s Ireland.

June, 1940. France is teetering on the brink of collapse. British troops are desperately fleeing Dunkirk. Germany is winning the war. Its next target is Britain . . . and Ireland. In neutral Dublin opinions are divided. Some want Germany to win, others favor Britain, most want to stay out of the war altogether. In this atmosphere of edgy uncertainty, young lieutenant Paul Duggan is drafted into G2, the army’s intelligence division, and put on the German desk. He’s given a suspected German spy to investigate, one who doesn’t appear to do much, other than write ambiguous letters to a German intelligence post box in Copenhagen. Before Duggan can probe further, however, he is diverted by a request from his politician uncle to try and find his daughter, who’s gone missing, possibly kidnapped. Enlisting the help of witty Special Branch detective Peter Gifford, the two lines of inquiry take Duggan into the double-dealing worlds of spies and politics, and lead him back to a shocking secret that will challenge everything he has grown up believing. An addictive thriller that will keep you glued to the page, right through to its heart-pounding finale. JOE JOYCE is an Irish writer, playwright and journalist whose previous works include The Guinnesses: The Untold Story of Ireland’s Most Successful Family, and a play about James Joyce and Oliver St John Gogarty, The Tower. He is the author of two thrillers Off the Record and The Trigger Man and co-author with Peter Murtagh of The Boss, a seminal book on Irish politics. He has worked for a number of national and international newspapers as a staff reporter and freelance journalist, primarily the Irish Times and the Guardian.

Poets Are Eaten as a Delicacy in Japan Tara West Novel based in Belfast, Northern Ireland; a black comedy focusing on two sisters and their tumultuous relationship with their difficult mother.

Poets Are Eaten as a Delicacy in Japan opens as 30-year-old Tommie Shaw is shown a newspaper report by her panicked sister Georgie revealing that their mother, Gloria, is set to release a new memoir. What follows is an engaging and rewarding black comedy, as Tommie and Georgie’s panic spirals and they clamor to control Gloria while also dealing with the painful legacy of their fatherless childhood. A series of flashbacks to Tommie’s teenage years help to explain her now destructive and out-of-control lifestyle as an adult. Poets Are Eaten as a Delicacy in Japan also tackles heavy subjects, including suicide and self-harm, with a light touch that feels honest rather than glib. Poets Are Eaten as a Delicacy in Japan is the story of a dysfunctional family, but more importantly, about facing fears and moving on. TARA WEST is an Irish author based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Her first novel, Fodder, was published by Blackstaff Press to widespread critical acclaim and established her reputation as a fresh and original new writer. Her short stories are punchy and pithy, and give a flavor of real life in Northern Ireland. Tara appears regularly at literary and cultural festivals, and has received a number of Arts Council Northern Ireland Awards for her writing. She works in advertising and is a member of the Society of Authors.

The Ballad of Mo & G NEW TITLES

Billy Keane A gritty black comedy from a talented writer, this is an unconventional love story and an insight into the bleak landscape of post-boom Ireland. Author Christine Dwyer Hickey agrees: ‘Dark, often disturbing and utterly absorbing. In The Ballad of Mo & G, Billy Keane has entered a tough world and handled it with great skill and humanity. It is also a love story for our time.’

‘Even though I wished it was me she was married to, I was still hoping Mo would be happy ever after with Dermo Olsen. That was until the violence started. I loved her that much. Can you believe that?’ Welcome to an unnamed town in the southwest of Ireland, where Mo and G have what could loosely be described as a dysfunctional relationship. Between the sex, beatings, and pining after Mo, there’s barely time for G to worry about his arch-enemies, the Olsens—or their Dobermans. G is plagued by nightmares, and sometimes tries to do the right thing. Very occasionally, he succeeds. In The Ballad of Mo & G, Billy Keane tackles lives lived on the edge with a sharp yet compassionate eye, and a biting black humor. An assured report from Ireland’s dark, postboom underbelly by a supremely talented storyteller.

Travelling Companion Virginia Gilbert A taut psychological thriller, Travelling Companion is a study of how ordinary people commit appalling acts, and how horrific actions can grow from trivial misunderstandings and misreadings of the signals we unwittingly give off to others.

A small, touristy, Greek island. Sun. Sea. Sand. The perfect ingredients for a two-week package holiday—getting away from it all, taking a break from the madness. For Rob and Georgie, a young couple in their late twenties, it’s a chance to reconnect, spend some muchneeded time together during their busy, urban lives. For Michael, a shy, introverted man, stranded alone at the same hotel, after the friend with whom he was supposed to be holidaying returns home unexpectedly, the holiday is a revelation. Georgie feels sorry for Michael and befriends him, chatting to him each morning by the pool, sharing her thoughts and feelings. Rob is somewhat irritated by Georgie’s relationship with Michael, even though he seems to be no threat and doesn’t bother the two of them particularly. But Michael is increasingly drawn to Georgie. Having had no real experience himself of life or love, he takes Georgie at face value, giving huge weight to her confessions, unaware of some of their nuances and complexities. Unable to understand or deal with his conflicting emotions, and at the mercy of his powerful fantasy life, Michael sets in motion a plan that will have devastating consequences for all concerned.

Something of Myself and Others NEW TITLES

Mary Kenny Something of Myself and Others is not an autobiography. Instead, Mary Kenny has assembled a refreshing collection of articles that are sometimes funny, often poignant and always sharply perceptive.

Something of Myself and Others is a fascinating collection of articles and reflections on the public and private life of Mary Kenny, one of Ireland’s best known journalists. Detailing memorable events in her life, as well as those she has witnessed in Ireland’s recent history, Mary Kenny recalls her experiences with humor and charm. In this collection of articles, some of which have appeared previously in a number of newspapers and magazines, Kenny reflects on the people she has known, the places she has been and the experiences that have shaped her. Something of Myself and Others is a wonderfully varied and entertaining read. In it, Mary chronicles her adventures as a young ambitious journalist through to her current personal challenges with illness and loss. She recalls bringing down a Cabinet minister aboard the Queen Mary, introducing Irish president Michael D. Higgins to his wife, interviewing Grace of Monaco and Marlene Dietrich and being complimented by the Queen. She talks with great heart about the absent friends that have influenced her, such as Terry Keane, June Levine and Maeve Binchy. She gives her account of the now infamous trip to Belfast aboard the contraception train, as well as some reflections on culture, religion and Irish society. Alongside stories of the famous faces she has encountered, Mary also writes candidly on the loss of her sister, Ursula and her recent experience as primary carer for her husband, Richard.

The House of Pure Being NEW TITLES

Michael Murphy After completing his initial autobiography, Michael Murphy was asked for ‘more of the same’ and so he has written The House of Pure Being, a collection of essay-style meditations on his life.

Michael Murphy’s second volume of reflections deals with the fact that ‘life goes on’ and details the progression of those we met in the first book, including himself. His writing is powerful and engaging and takes an unflinching look at difficult subjects, particularly the lingering and distressing physical effects that prostate cancer had on his body, and the confusion of guilt and pain accompanying his decision to place his mother into a nursing home. The book touches on many important people in Murphy’s life and compassionately and courageously discusses the passing of his friends, Steve McDonogh (Michael’s previous publisher) and Aengus Fanning (former Editor of the Sunday Independent). The book finishes strongly with an account of the civil partnership of Terry and Michael. The genuine affection between the couple and their obvious joy on the day of their Civil Partnership ceremony shines through and offers a very personal perspective on the historic changes taking place regarding gay rights in Ireland.

The Kaiser The Inside Story of Ireland’s Secret Billionaire Liam Collins Desmond is an Irish businessman and financier. He is estimated to be worth €1.35billion and is ranked by the Sunday Independent as the seventh-richest person in Ireland. The Kaiser is the inside scoop on his life and career by journalist Liam Collins.

Of Ireland’s three billionaires, Dermot Desmond is probably the most fascinating. From relatively humble beginnings, he has created vast wealth by plunging everything on various deals from NCB (his stock broking company in Dublin) to investments like London City Airport, which he bought as a loss-maker and sold for a billion. Celtic Football Club and the famous Sandy Lane Resort in Barbados are just some of his many ventures. Along the way he has become embroiled in political and business scandals, mainly through his association with Ireland’s corrupt and colorful Prime Minister Charlie Haughey. Ireland’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) was his brainchild and Haughey ensured that it became a reality. Desmond has now practically withdrawn from public life but runs the international trading firm IIU from a penthouse in his docklands office block. His closest associates are the one-time Manchester United investor, racehorse owner and gambler JP McManus and the wealthy owner of Coolmore Stud, John Magnier. The Kaiser charts the rise of Dermot Desmond, the deals that made him a billionaire and the many controversies that have followed in his wake.

Teacher, Soldier, Spy NEW TITLES

A Journey into the Dark Heart of the Global War on Terror Tom Clonan From Dublin to Beirut, Guantanamo Bay to Iraq—and all the way back—Tom Clonan takes the reader on a very personal journey through the Global War on Terror. The book deals with a variety of themes including death, mayhem and murder, loss of loved ones, fear of flying and the hazards of having four children and a dog!

Clonan’s book begins with his career as a Captain in the Irish Army in war-torn Lebanon and Bosnia. It then chronicles his experiences as a military whistleblower, academic and journalist and finally Irish Times Security Analyst. These experiences give the reader a unique insight into the Global War on Terror. They also give the reader an insight into the nature of faith, trust and betrayal of ideals. It is a frank and honest account of conflict from the point of view of someone with first-hand experiences of war abroad and heartbreaking experiences of loss at home. Clonan’s book is by turns dark, hilarious and moving. His accounts of a world engaged in asymmetrical warfare—at a cost of $4 trillion dollars and over a million lives to date—is disturbing. His account of the war, juxtaposed with intimate descriptions of his own family circumstances—a parent helping his young son to fight a serious neuromuscular disease—is an eloquent commentary on the futility of war and the huge potential for good that exists in the world.

Blood, Sweat and Tears An Irish Soldier’s Story of Love and Loss Tom Clonan Refreshingly honest and open story of Tom Clonan’s time spent in the Irish Army, in particular a tour of duty to the Lebanon in the 90s. In-depth retelling of events and consequences for those soldiers, personally as well as professionally and the toll these tours took.

The Irish Army has been on active duty in Lebanon on an almost continuous basis since the mid-1970s. Over forty years, 40,000 soldiers have served tours of duty in Lebanon. Fortyseven Irish soldiers died there and many hundreds more have suffered serious physical—and psychological—injuries in Lebanon. Of the tens of thousands of Irish troops who served in Lebanon, all were touched in one way or another by the people of Lebanon and Israel. Blood, Sweat and Tears tells the true story of the Irish at war. It chronicles a tour of duty in Lebanon from 1995 to 1996, culminating in the massacre of 118 innocent men, women and children in the village of Qana, South Lebanon, on 18 April 1996. For the first time, the experiences of Irish troops are told in the vernacular of the Irish soldier, warts and all. The book is an unvarnished account of loss of innocence on the part of one young officer; it is also a story which deals with personal loss, loneliness and the psychological trauma of military service in a time of war. As the narrator comes to terms with the slaughter of innocents around him, he will ultimately be confronted with the loss of those closest to him at home in Ireland. NOW AVAILABLE Paperback

Alternative Ulsters NEW TITLES

Mark Carruthers A series of engaging and insightful interviews with well-known Ulster figures on the topic of what it means to be from that province of Ireland. Unique & original commentary!

The province of Ulster—nine counties in total, six in Northern Ireland and three in the Republic of Ireland—is an ambiguous and complex patch of Irish soil. Known for the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Ulster Rugby Team, the Red Hand of Ulster, Monaghanpoet Patrick Kavanagh, among a host other things, Ulster represents an eclectic mix of national and cultural identities, religious ideologies, and political allegiances. The idea of a communal or conclusive Ulster identity seems impossible and questions such as, ‘Are you an Ulsterman/woman? Are you Northern Irish? Are you Irish? What does it mean to be from Ulster? Are you proud to be from Ulster?’, can result in more confusion than certainty. In Alternative Ulsters, BBC NI broadcaster Mark Carruthers has interviewed a host of well-known artists, writers, journalists, sportspeople, and political figures, all born in Ulster. Each interview begins with the question, ‘Would you say you are an Ulsterman/woman?’ and goes on to explore the complex idea of Ulster identity for those from a province characterized by fragmentation. Interviewees include Seamus Heaney, Ian Paisley, Anna Lo, Gerry Adams, Jennifer Johnston, James Nesbitt, and Mary Peters, among others. MARK CARRUTHERS joined BBC Northern Ireland in 1989 and since then he has presented countless radio and television programs. He was nominated for a Royal Television Society award for his work in 2003, and in 2005 he and Donna Traynor lifted a prestigious Irish Film and Television Award for Best News Program. Mark is a keen advocate of the arts and is chairman of the board of the Lyric Theatre, Belfast and has served on many other theatre and cultural committees. He was awarded an OBE for his services to drama in Northern Ireland in the 2011 Queen’s New Year Honours List. He is co-editor of Stepping Stones—The Arts in Ulster 1971−2001 (2001) and is a founder of Cultural Resolution which published a collection of essays Re-imagining Belfast: a manifesto for the arts (2003). Mark is married with three children and lives in south Belfast.

Where the Streets Have Two Names The Dublin Music Scene 1978–1980 Patrick Brocklebank and Sinéad Moloney This quality coffee-table book offers insight into previously unseen photos of the legendary band U2 and unheard stories from their early days. It also documents the vibrant music and cultural scene in Dublin at that time.

The book includes numerous untold stories about the band members and other groups who were part of Dublin’s music scene from that time, including the Boomtown Rats, the Virgin Prunes, the Blades and the Black Catholics (who made a habit of disrupting U2 gigs), and focuses on artists, such as Guggi, who began to make their mark at that time. There are also wonderful stories about the long-gone music venues of that era, such as the Dandelion Market. Where the Streets Have 2 Names is both a celebration of an iconic band and a superb evocation of the Dublin of thirty years ago, it is a musthave gift for all U2 fans and music lovers. PATRICK BROCKLEBANK worked as a graphic artist and photographer with Hot Press, In Dublin magazine and the Sunday Tribune in the 1970s. ‘Between the years 1978 and 1981, U2 were becoming better musicians, both individually and as a group. They were beginning to write their own songs, and they had an infectious enthusiasm that quickly communicated itself to fans. I was fortunate enough to see them up close in those years.’ SINÉAD MOLONEY is a lecturer at University College Dublin. She has a particular interest in the cultural geography of Dublin and has lectured in Australia on Dublin-born singer, Imelda May.

My Father’s House Bethany Dawson Robbie is a simple man who leads a simple life: he is a husband, a father, and a journalist, living and working in Dublin. However, his carefully crafted life has been interrupted by a phone call from his youngest sister, calling, after years of silence, to say his father is ill, and he should come ‘home’.

And so Robbie returns to Dromore, Northern Ireland, and to Larkscroft Farm, the place where he grew up and the man he grew up with. In taking care of his father—an often angry, and complex man—Robbie allows the reader into his past, revealing himself as a child, teenager, and young adult, lost in the often tumultuous world of a dysfunctional family. Such insight is rare and privileged as you begin to see that no-one in Robbie’s ‘new’ life knows anything about his past, not even his wife. My Father’s House is a real and often raw account of family relationships. In Robbie and in his family there is a myriad of messy, mixed up people, tentatively sewing up the rips and tears on their way to reconciliation. This is a novel about birthplace, family, regret, and new beginnings. BETHANY DAWSON completed a Master of Philosophy in Creative Writing at Trinity College, Dublin where she was picked up by her agent and began writing in earnest. She works as the Assistant Editor of The Zimbabwean, an independent newspaper produced in the UK.

Beatsploitation NEW TITLES

Kevin Curran Beatsploitation is a bitingly relevant and provocative examination of suburban Dublin life, exposing themes such as state-sanctioned racism, economic failure and skewered education systems alongside universal themes of love, loss and regret.

One good track could change everything. Just one good track and Rob Lynch can finally quit his suburban teaching job and get his band, the Terrors, once Dublin’s next big thing, the fame and recognition they dream of. But it’s not happening—they need a new sound. When Rob discovers the unique gifts of one of his students, John ‘Kembo’ Pereira, a troubled African teenager with a particular talent for creating beats, he sees an opportunity that might just keep his musical ambitions alive. As Rob and John’s relationship develops, however, a series of disturbing events unfold that will rock both their lives to the core. And when the Terrors start to crumble, Rob finds out just how far he is willing to go, and what he is willing to lose, in order to keep his dream alive. Powerfully capturing the energy, wit and pathos of a changed Dublin society, Beatsploitation gives voice to a cynical, disillusioned generation, caught between the tired values of the old and the uncertainty of the new. An assured, arresting debut by a commanding new talent. It is an innovative and original work of debut fiction and deals with international themes such as racism, economic failure, love, loss, and regret, while highlighting a different side of modern Ireland.

Absolute Zero Cool

Eight Ball Boogie

Slaughter’s Hound

Declan Burke

A postmodern crime thriller from one of Ireland’s best crime fiction writers

Flashing with razor-sharp wit and edgy, face-paced plotting, Eightball Boogie is an enthralling page-turner.

Following his last violent adventure in Eightball Boogie, former private investigator-turned-cab driver Harry Rigby finds his world crashing in on itself again, through no real fault of his own.

Absolute Zero Cool is a post-modern take on the crime thriller genre. Adrift in the halflife limbo of an unpublished novel, hospital porter Billy needs to up the stakes. Euthanasia simply isn’t shocking anymore; would blowing up his hospital be enough to see Billy published, or be damned? What follows is a gripping tale that subverts the crime genre’s grand tradition of liberal sadism, a novel that both excites and disturbs in equal measure. Absolute Zero Cool is not only an example of Irish crime writing at its best; it is an innovative, self-reflexive piece that turns every convention of crime fiction on its head. Declan Burke’s latest book is an imaginative story that explores the human mind’s ability to both create and destroy, with equally devastating effects.”

Harry Rigby likes a smoke, the easy life, and Robert Ryan playing the bad guy in late night black-and-whites. Sweet. But when the wife of a prominent politician is murdered in her best nightie, Rigby finds himself caught in a crossfire between rogue paramilitaries, an internal police inquiry and the heaviest blizzard of coke ever to hit the northwest. If all this wasn’t bad enough, his relationship with girlfriend Denise is on the rocks and he’s hitting the bottle. Then there’s Rigby’s psychotic brother Gonzo, back on the streets and meaner than a jilted shark. Television rights have been acquired by UK production company in 2013 for a potential series to be commissioned.

When his best friend Finn takes a nosedive off a building—onto Harry’s taxi—a chain of events is kicked off that will end up bad, real bad, for those responsible. Harry faces the death of his son—and the kickback from having killed his real father (Harry’s brother Gonzo) in Eightball Boogie); crooked property dealing; art forgery; and a world of organized crime and one particular family with more to hide than Harry realizes… In the twisted moral landscape of his surroundings, Harry must find a way free of his own heartache and pain to discover the truth about Finn’s death and what is really going on…

In rural Wexford, a young teenager deals not only with the dramas of youth, but with a troubled best friend, and a town sentencing them to identities against their gradual selfawareness.

As the narrator’s inner-Judas voice becomes louder and clearer, will the two boys find their way? With magnificent descriptions of rural Ireland, the Strawberry Festival in Wexford a particular highlight, this psychological narrative explores the troubles facing these teenagers, as they move towards a crescendo that will tear asunder their worlds… JOE MURPHY was born in 1979 in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, where he lived for nineteen years before dying.

Setting the Truth Free The Inside Story of the Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign Julieann Campbell An intelligent and emotive inside account of the Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign, which records the personal stories of the campaigners, the relatives and the wounded themselves right up to the Saville Report’s publication in June 2010. Written by Derry journalist and niece of Jackie Duddy who was killed on that day, with a foreword by political activist Gareth Peirce.

On 30th January 1972 thirteen people were shot dead and a further fourteen wounded, one of whom died later, by British paratroopers during a peaceful civil rights march in Derry. In June 2010, thirty-eight years later, Lord Saville’s report made headlines all over the world, and the people of Derry were brought to a stunned silence as British Prime Minister David Cameron apologized on behalf of his government and his country for the ‘unjustified’ and ‘unjustifiable’ acts of Bloody Sunday. Setting the Truth Free is the first ever account of the remarkable Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign as told by the campaigners, relatives and the wounded themselves. Many books have been written on the subject but few mention in significant detail how these ordinary people achieved the impossible and unwittingly made history. Determined to clear their loved ones’ names, this group took on the might of the British government, and won. Each major turning point during the campaign is described and accompanied by family testimonies. Winner of the Christopher Ewart Biggs Award in 2013

The Things I’ve Seen NEW TITLES

Lara Marlowe New and selected pieces by the renowned international journalist and foreign correspondent, including stories from the Middle East, the Balkans, France (where she lived for several years) and also from the US, where she is currently the Irish Times’ US correspondent.

The Things I’ve Seen is the first book to feature the award-winning work of journalist and foreign correspondent Lara Marlowe. From her beginnings as a reporter with CBS and the Financial Times to her work for Time magazine and her most recent appointment with the Irish Times in Paris and Washington, this collection of new and selected in-depth pieces is full of the insight and reflection we have come to expect from the veteran reporter. Featuring a lengthy introduction on the nature of the correspondent’s work and charting her own career, this debut publication includes lengthy articles selected by Lara herself—including several that were suppressed or quashed by certain publications—notably in the case of a long piece charting three generations of a Palestinian family from 1948 onwards, which Time magazine would ultimately quash.

Her work has brought her to war zones in the Middle East, Afghanistan and the Balkans, and she lived for several years in Beirut working for Time. Irish readers are most familiar with her recent spell as the Paris-based correspondent for the Irish Times and the book features some of her best writing from that posting, including a wonderful portrait of Carla Bruni, whom she met in the singer’s private Paris residence. Currently she is US correspondent for the Irish Times and the book covers the Obama administration’s tumultuous first years, the devastation in Haiti and the recent environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

New and Selected Poems NEW TITLES

Michael D. Higgins As well as forging a successful political career, President Michael D. Higgins is also an author, poet, and broadcaster.

This collection of poetry honors Michael D’s life and loves as well as the lessons he has learned. Introductory passages offer a unique insight into the experiences that shape a poet’s work, with a foreword from Abbot Mark Patrick Hederman OSB also featured. New & Selected Poems is more than an ordinary poetry collection. With an introductory prose piece before each five sections, Michael D invites the reader into the mind of a poet and brings each poem to life by revealing some of the events that inspired and influenced. Tracing his life from his “Early Days” when he (aged five) and his brother were sent to live with an aunt and uncle, through to his migration to Galway in “Of Rural Realities”, these wonderful stories shape his poems. Michael D’s life is laid out—raw and honest: the changes in his family life from childhood; his entry into politics, public life, and world affairs; and the appreciation, importance, enjoyment, and loss of friendship. These are his own reflections on a rich and varied life as he casts a wry but compassionate eye on human weakness and resilience, and the centrality of love for all human relationships. New & Selected Poems is a treasury of the very best of his writing over the years and is sure to enthrall younger readers as well as his established followers. Featuring acclaimed poems such as ‘The betrayal’ from The Betrayal, ‘Brothers’ from Season of Fire, and An Arid Season’s ‘Ass’, New & Selected Poems also reveals among other new poems, Michael D’s latest including ‘Of Possibility’, ‘The Truth of Poetry’, and ‘The Poisoning’.

Poetry

Causes for Concern Irish Politics, Culture and Society Michael D. Higgins Causes for Concern: Irish Politics, Culture & Society collects some of Michael D. Higgins’s best and most insightful writing on Irish society, culture, human rights and the larger context of Ireland in Europe and the wider world.

While four of the signatories of the 1916 Proclamation were poets, you would be hard pressed to find the same number in today’s Dáil chamber. A man who fits the bill as poet and politician is Michael D. Higgins—perhaps one of the few public representatives today who enjoys widespread respect across all political hues. Causes For Concern covers Michael D.’s personal history, Irish politics, culture and broadcasting, global politics, and the human condition. Drawing on material produced over more than forty years, Michael D. Higgins discusses the Irish political system, the role of the Left, Nicaragua and South American politics, Irish film, his own personal journey and the issue of human rights and the best ways to protect them. The book features an extensive foreword by commentator and writer Declan Kiberd. As well as forging a successful political career, President MICHAEL D. HIGGINS is also an author, poet, and broadcaster. He presented a television film on Montserrat, The Other Emerald Isle, and a documentary on the life of Dr. Noel Browne for RTÉ, Dr Browne Also Spoke. He has had four volumes of poetry published, most recently New and Selected Poems (Liberties Press), and has been included in a number of anthologies.

Growing Sustainable Communities: Research and Professional Practice A Development Guide for Southeast Asia Edited by Linda Brennan, Lukas Parker, Torgeir Watne, John Fien, Hue Duong and Mai Anh Doan Growing Sustainable Communities: Research and Professional Practice, A Development Guide for Southeast Asia brings together existing findings from current and completed projects that can be used as case studies for future projects and to also educate upand-coming community development practitioners in Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia is undergoing a major transformation both economically and socially. This transformation has been largely through the initiatives of villages, communities and governments. Additionally, international aid and development funding is responsible for much of the innovation in sustainable community development in the region. However, such developments are a challenge for the region, with some organizations withdrawing from long-term projects because they have reached their conclusion. This is not to say that the role of these organizations is complete, far from it. There is much work to do yet. The purpose of this book is to present a practical, yet academically sound, manual for community development practitioners, NGOs and community groups undertaking projects related to developing sustainable lifestyles in Southeast Asia. It looks at the existing knowledge of what activities have already been undertaken in Southeast Asia, reviewing case studies of successful projects with an aim to summarize these into a set of clear ‘key learnings’. In turn, these will be translated into a clearly organized set of guidelines for future projects in Southeast Asia.

Water, Food and Agricultural Sustainability in Southern Africa Edited by Jamie Pittock, R. Quentin Grafton and Chris White Water, Food and Sustainable Agriculture in Southern Africa seeks answers to the question: ‘If centralized irrigated agriculture has failed in Africa, then what are the solutions that will increase food security to reduce poverty while sustainably managing water and conserving other environmental values?’

By 2050, global population will increase from 7 to more than 9 billion people, and this will increase demands on food and water systems already under pressure from climate change and over-use. Meanwhile, Africa is the continent where the largest proportion of people is currently living in poverty: an estimated one in three Africans go hungry. At the same time, the agricultural potential of Africa is enormous.

NOVEMBER 2013 Paperback

US $69.95

Food security means much more than a country producing sufficient calories for the populace. Food security is about ensuring the most vulnerable have the means to produce, and that the food is of sufficient nutritional value. Water governance is also a central concern in sustainable agriculture. With better governance, there is high potential for poverty reduction through water interventions.

Negotiating at Work NEW TITLES

Jennifer Waterhouse, Robyn Keast and Kerry Brown Negotiating at Work demonstrates how responding to business style in negotiations can effect successful outcomes. Each chapter is clearly presented, and includes ‘Chapter at a glance’, Key points, Key terms, and case studies.

The business environment across the globe is characterized by three primary governance arrangements—bureaucracies, markets and networks. For organizations operating within each of these business contexts, the terms of engagement in regard to negotiation are different. Rather than starting from a broad ‘how to’ approach or a specific cultural interface, Negotiating at Work looks at governance arrangements within the business environment and at how such governance arrangements impact on how negotiation occurs. It brings context to the fore of negotiating by using governance as the lens to consider the modern business context.
