HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY 101 Philosophy Problems Fourth Edition Martin Cohen has established a worldwide reputation as a radical philosopher and unconventional thinker. He has published many books, which have been translated into around twenty different languages. Does Farmer Field really know his prize cow, Daisy, is in the field? When is an unexpected exam not wholly unexpected? Are all bachelors (really) unmarried? Martin Cohen's 101 Philosophy Problems introduces philosophy in an entertaining but informative and stimulating way. Using philosophical puzzles, conundrums and paradoxes he skilfully unwraps some of the mysteries of the subject, from what we know or think we know to brainteasing thought experiments about ethics, science and the nature of the mind. The book has been extensively revised to bring it up to date with new developments in philosophy and society. With an updated glossary of helpful terms and possible solutions to the problems at the end of the book, 101 Philosophy Problems is essential reading for anyone coming to philosophy for the first time. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415635745, NZRP$39.95 Publish April 2013, 272 pages Routledge

The Fifth Dimension An Exploration of the Spiritual Realm John Hick was one of the most influential philosophers of religion of his time. He was HG Wood Professor of Theology at Birmingham University from 1967 to 1982, and before that taught at Cambridge. His books have been translated into seventeen languages and more than twenty have been published about his work in English, German, French, Chinese and Japanese. Drawing on mystical and religious traditions ancient and modern, and spiritual thinkers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and Mahatma Gandhi, The Fifth Dimension is John Hick’s eloquent argument for a more complete reality, in which a fifth, spiritual dimention plays a central role. Taking into account recent global crises - including the 9/11 attacks and War in Iraq - Hick addresses a variety of timeless issues, from the validity of religious experience to the science versus religion debate. Erudite, provocative and deeply moving, Hick’s persuasive narrative will prompt all curious readers to re-examine their own spiritual horizon. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689910, NZRP$29.95 Publish April 2013, 292 pages Oneworld Publications “Essential reading for anyone concerned with spirituality in the modern world.” - Professor Keith Ward, University of Oxford, UK. “It has the clarity of light and the solidity of stone.” - Professor Huston Smith, University of California, Berkelery, USA.

A History
Eleanor Roosevelt and Adlai Stevenson
Denis Judd, London Metropolitan University, London and Keith Surridge is the author of Managing the South African War 1899-1902.
Richard Henry is a retired Unitarian minister and independent scholar, and the author of Norbert Fabian Capek: A Spiritual Journey.
The Boer War of 1899-1902 was an epic of heroism and bungling, cunning and barbarism with an extraordinary cast of characters including Churchill, Rhodes, Conan Doyle, Smuts, Kipling, Gandhi, Kruger and Kitchener. The war revealed the ineptitude of the British military and unexpectedly exposed the corrupt underside of imperialism - in the establishment of the first concentration camps, the shooting of Boer prisoners-of-war and the embezzlement of military supplies by British officers. This acclaimed book provides a complete history of the Boer War - from the first signs of unrest to the eventual peace. In the process, it debunks several of the myths which have grown up around the conflict and explores the deadly legacy it left for southern Africa.
The mutually energizing and often volatile friendship between Eleanor Roosevelt and Adlai Stevenson was one of the last century's remarkable political alliances. Both shared a view of politics as a moral enterprise whose 'mission' was the betterment of the human condition. Employing letters and diaries as well as contemporary media accounts, this book examines the perspectives, the convictions, the style, and the spirit that both principals brought to the calling of public service.

Criticism of the Earth
K. Steven Vincent, North Carolina State University, USA.
Roland Boer is Research Fellow at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He has published extensively in theology, Marxism, political theory, postcolonialism, cultural studies and literary theory. His most recent works are Criticism of Theology (2011), Cave Droppings (2011), Political Myth (2009) and Criticism of Religion (2009).
On Marx, Engels and Theology
Traditional scholarship on French liberalism has frequently proceeded by defining the core issues and telling a story of their emergence and development. This book takes a different approach: rather than beginning with an a priori definition of liberalism, it focuses on the political thought of Benjamin Constant and Germaine de StaĂŤl, the first figures in France to call their thought 'liberal.' This book advances a new interpretation of the timing and character of French-and more broadly European-liberalism and contributes to the ongoing debate concerning the place of morality, sociability, and conceptions of the 'self' in modern liberal thought.
$42.00 Pb ISBN 9781608462742 Publish April 2013 379 pages Haymarket NZRP$53.00
Criticism of the Earth thoroughly reassesses Marx and Engels's engagement with theology, analyzing their collected works for discussions of spiritual matters and the persistence of biblical allusions. What emerges is a continued interest that is maintained throughout their lives, from Marx's Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, until the very end with Engels's treatise on the revolutionary origins of early christianity.

Volume 32
Jay Sherry, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany.
Costas Lapavitsas is Professor of Economics at the School of Oriental and African Studies. He has published extensively on the political economy of money and finance. His publications include Social Foundations of Markets, Money and Credit (Routledge, 2008).
Carl Gustav Jung has always been a popular but never a fashionable thinker. His groundbreaking theories about dream interpretation and psychological types have often been overshadowed by allegations that he was antiSemitic and a Nazi sympathizer. Most accounts have unfortunately been marred by factual errors and quotes taken out of context; this has been due to the often partisan sympathies of those who have written about him. This book provides a more accurate and comprehensive account of Jung's controversial opinions about art, politics, and race.

The ongoing economic crisis commenced in the sphere of finance, spread to production, and then became a world recession. In this important and timely volume several wellknown political economists draw on the insights of Marxist and other heterodox economics to argue that the turmoil of 2007-2009 represents a crisis of financialised capitalism, and is thus systemic.
Genius, Power and Magic
Hard Times
A Cultural History of Germany from Goethe to Wagner
An Illustrated Oral History of the Great Depression
Roderick Cavaliero is the author of Admiral Satan, Strangers in the Land and Ottomania.
Studs Terkel (1912-2008) was the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Good War.
Before unification in 1871, Germany was a loose collection of variously sovereign principalities, nurtured on deep thought, fine music and hard rye bread, somewhat lacking in cultural cohesion. Yet between the end of the Thirty Years War and unification under Bismarck, Germany became the land of philosophers and poets, writers and composers. Roderick Cavaliero provides a fascinating overview of Germany's cultural zenith and its artistic exports - including the literature of Goethe and Grimm, the music of Wagner, Schumann and Mendelssohn and the philosophy of Hegel, Marx and Kant. Providing a highly-readable account of Germany from Frederick the Great to Bismarck, Genius, Power and Magic is fascinating reading for anyone interested in European history and the extraordinary cultural legacy of this golden age.
Terkel evokes a mosaic of memories from those who were richest to those who were destitute: politicians, businessmen, artists and writers, racketeers, speakeasy operators, strikers, impoverished farmers, people who were just kids, and those who remember losing a fortune. Now, in a handsome new illustrated edition, a selection of Studs's unforgettable interviews are complemented by images from another rich documentary trove of the Depression experience: Farm Security Administration photographs from the Library of Congress. Interspersed throughout the text of Hard Times, these breathtaking photographs by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Jack Delano, and others expand the human scope of the voices captured in the book, adding a new dimension to Terkel's incomparable volume.

He arrived in Spain prior to the outbreak of the war and was one of the few correspondents who had a real understanding of Spain . As well as being well acquainted with the major protagonists of the conflict - including Juan Negrin, 'La Pasionaria' Dolores Ibarruri and Enrique Lister - Buckley was also a good friend of Ernest Hemingway and the renowned photographer Robert Capa.

Lyotard’s thoughts on the postmodern have often been misunderstood or misrepresented. This book provides a clear and original introduction to Lyotard’s work on the postmodern and his philosophy more generally, demonstrating its on-going relevance to creative endeavour and debates concerning the value and significance of the visual arts.It also situates Lyotard’s discussion of the postmodern in the context of his other key concepts. This book employs numerous examples drawn from painting, cinema and comic books to illustrate the significance of these ideas and to explore their links with phenomenology, Marxism and psychoanalysis.

A Marxist History of the World
Counterfire
In the early 1930s, the most famous mentalist in the German capital was Erik Jan Hanussen, a Jewish mind reader who became so popular that he rubbed elbows with high ranking Nazis, became close with top Storm Troopers, and even advised Hitler. Assuming he could manipulate the Nazis as he had manipulated his fans, Hanussen turned his cult newspaper in Berlin into a Nazi propaganda paper, personally assured Hitler that the stars were aligned in his favor, and predicted the infamous Reichstag Fire that would solidify the Nazis' grip on Germany. Seasoned with ruminations about wonder and magic (and explanations of Hanussen's tricks), this is a disturbing journey into a Germany as it descends into madness - aided by a "clairvoyant" Jew oblivious to the savagery of men who pursued a Reich they fantasized would last 1,000 years.

How does the historian approach memory and how do historians use different sources to analyze how history and memory interact and impact on each other? Memory and History explores the different aspects of the study of this field. Taking examples from Europe, Australia, the USA and Japan and treating periods beyond living memory as well as the recent past, the volume highlights the contours of the current vogue for memory among historians while demonstrating the diversity and imagination of the field. Each chapter looks at a set of key historical and historiographical questions through research-based case studies.
From Neanderthals to Neoliberals
Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict
Neil Faulkner, University of Bristol, UK.
A History with Documents, Eighth Edition
This magisterial analysis of human history from 'Lucy', the first hominid, to the current Great Recession - combines the insights of earlier generations of Marxist historians with radical new ideas about the historical process. Reading history against the grain, Neil Faulkner reveals that what happened in the past was not predetermined. Choices were frequent and numerous. Different outcomes - liberation or barbarism - were often possible. Rejecting the top-down approach of conventional history, Faulkner contends that it is the mass action of ordinary people that drives great events. At the beginning of the 21st century - with economic disaster, war, climate catastrophe and deep class divisions - humans face perhaps the greatest crisis in the long history of our species. The lesson of A Marxist History of the World is that, since we created our past, we can also create a better future.
Charles D. Smith is Professor of Middle East History in the Department of Near Eastern Studies, University of Arizona, USA. Charles D. Smith provides a remarkably comprehensive and objective account of this complex subject, adopting a long-view approach. The eighth edition of this established text has been revised and updated and now brings the coverage right up to the present day.

Movements for equality in housing in Black communities demonstrated the way in which racism, redlining, and urban exploitation were not just expressions of white prejudice or generic anti-black attitudes, rather they were demonstrations of a "political economy of residential segregation" which African Americans were often expected to pay significantly more for inferior housing.

Did Queen Elizabeth I, master of spin, know the Armada had capitulated when she drafted one of history's most inspiring speeches? Where did Wellington meet his Waterloo? Should the Falklands be seen as testament to Mrs Thatcher's steel or a grasping, imperial folly? Veteran political reporter Colin Brown - a true expert in spin - travels to the places where history was made to unearth the real story of what makes Britain great.

Roosevelt's fifteen-month post-presidential odyssey to Africa and Europe has never been given its due place. Roosevelt also brought along his bully pulpit and accompanying ideals. He could not refrain from also lecturing Britain's flabby Liberal government on the exertions required to keep up their share of the burden of empire. Roosevelt went abroad in part so that his friend and chosen successor, William Howard Taft, could plow his own furrow without the appearance of interference. Leaving Taft alone in the political jungles of Washington proved a huge error with devastating results, most importantly an acrimonious split between the two old friends that led directly to the election of Woodrow Wilson. A tale of daring adventure, international celebrity, a friendship lost, and a political legacy transformed, this is the first full account of this important time in history.
Fascinating texts written on small gold tablets and deposited in graves provide a unique source of information about what the Greeks and Romans believed regarding the afterlife, and how they could influence it. In this new edition of Ritual Texts for the Afterlife, Graf and Johnston present additional finds and engage with recent interpretations. After providing the Greek text and a translation of all the known tablets, the authors analyze their role in the mysteries of Dionysus, and present an outline of the myths concerning the origins of humanity and of the sacred texts that the Greeks ascribed to Orpheus. The authors offer appendices on similar gold tablets from Roman Palestine, the tablets from Pherae and their mythic context, and a fresh look at the contested category of "Orphism".

Various goddesses of the ancient Mediterranean world were once understood to be Virgin Mothers - creators who birthed the entire cosmos without need of a male consort. This is the first book to explore evidence of the original parthenogenetic power of deities such as Athena, Hera, Artemis, Gaia, Demeter, Persephone, and the Gnostic Sophia. It provides stunning feminist insights about the deeper meaning of related stories, such as the judgment of Paris, the labors of Heracles, and the exploits of the Amazons. It also roots the Thesmophoria and Eleusinian Mysteries in female parthenogenetic power, thereby providing what is at long last a coherent understanding of these mysterious rites.

From the postwar works of Pablo Picasso and Alexander Deineka to the Border Film Project and webbased works of Beatriz da Costa, this book considers how artists visual or otherwise have engaged with major political and grassroots movements, particularly after 1960. With its broad definition of the political, this book features chapters on postcolonialism, feminism, the anti-war movement, environmentalism, gay rights and anti-globalisation.

Drone Warfare is the first comprehensive analysis of one of the fastest growing-and most secretive-fronts in global war: the rise of robot warfare. In 2000, the Pentagon had fewer than fifty aerial drones; ten years later, it had nearly 7,500. Drones are already a $5 billion business in the US alone; the US Air Force now trains more drone "pilots" than bomber and fighter pilots combined. Medea Benjamin provides the first extensive analysis of who is producing the drones, where they are being used, who pilots these unmanned planes, and what are the legal and moral implications. In vivid, readable style, the book also looks at what activists, lawyers, and scientists across the globe are doing to ground these weapons.

Tracing the development of Chinese strategic thinking over four distinct periods from the 1980s on, this book covers China's strategies regarding Russia and Central Asia, Japan, the Korean peninsula, and Southeast and South Asia. While it pinpoints many mistaken assumptions, it credits China with overall successes and concludes that China stands at a crossroads. Deng Xiaoping's legacy - a tendency toward patiently biding time in international affairs - may be replaced by a growing assertiveness emboldened by China's rapid rise.

This book is the first analysis of French-British leadership in the security and defence policy of the EU. The French return to NATO while the British take a lead in the ESDP. Why? The reasons are the new national interests that emerge when European states pay less for defence and fail to modernize, while the US calls for more effort in order to have allies that can contribute to the demanding wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa. The need for multilateral military burden-sharing has never been clearer: no state can deploy without the political support of others, and governments need to share blame and risk. The new national interests also imply that France, Britain, and the US share an interest in the ESDP. This paperback version includes a preface on the EU's latest position as an international security actor. Quantity

At the onset of the Great Recession, many commentators thought that neoliberalism itself was in its death throes. Philip Mirowski argues that, as in classic studies of cognitive dissonance, neoliberal thought has become so pervasive that any countervailing evidence serves only to further convince disciples of its ultimate truth. Once neoliberalism became a Theory of Everything-a revolutionary account of self, knowledge, information, markets, and government-it could no longer be falsified by mere data from the "real" economy. In this deeply informed account-taking no prisoners in his pursuit of "zombie" economists-Mirowski surveys the wreckage of what passes for economic thought, and finally provides the basis for an anti-neoliberal account of the current crisis and our future prospects.

The product of five years of investigative reporting and the source of death threats that forced the National Human Rights Commission to assign two full-time bodyguards to Anabel Hernández, Narcoland has been a publishing and political sensation in Mexico. The definitive history and anatomy of the drug cartels and the "war on drugs" that has cost more than 50,000 lives in just five years, the book explains in riveting detail how Mexico became a base for the megacartels of Latin America and one of the most violent places on the planet. At every turn, Hernández names names-not just the narcos, but also the politicians, functionaries, judges and entrepreneurs who have collaborated with them. In doing so, she reveals the stunning corruption of Mexico's government and business elite.
Living "Illegal" is an ambitious new account of the least understood and most relevant aspects of the American immigrant experience today. It offers richly textured stories of real people-working, building families, and enriching their communities even as the political climate grows more hostile. Living "Illegal" challenges our assumptions about why immigrants come to the United States, where they settle, and how they have adapted to the often confusing patchwork of local immigration ordinances. A new preface frames these stories in light of recent policy developments, as well as the 2012 elections and possible shifts ahead.

In a journey that begins and ends in the capital, Hatherley takes us from Plymouth and Brighton to Belfast and Aberdeen, by way of the eerie urbanism of the Welsh valleys and the much-mocked splendor of modernist Coventry. Everywhere outside the unreal Southeast, the building has stopped in towns and cities, which languish as they wait for the next bout of self-defeating austerity. Hatherley writes with unrivaled aggression about the disarray of modern Britain, and yet this remains a book about possibilities remembered, about unlikely successes in the midst of seemingly inexorable failure. For as well as trash, ancient and modern, Hatherley finds signs of the hopeful country Britain once was and hints of what it might become.

The Progression of the American Presidency
The Reemergence of Liberation Theologies
Individuals Empire and Change
Models for the Twenty-First Century
Jim Twombly, Elmira College, USA.
Thia Cooper, Gustav Adolphus College, USA.
The Progression of the American Presidency is a scholarly, but conversational examination of the institution of the American Presidency, covering the process of selection through the president's interactions with other actors in American politics. The contemporary presidency is heavily dependent upon the individual who emerges from the selection process and thus the interactions with other actors and institutions are dependent on that individual. The same is true of the policies presidents propose and implement. Progression examines how we get the presidents we do and how they behave in the American political arena.
Declared dead in the 1990s, liberation theology is very much alive and well today across the globe. This book brings together prominent voices from the global North and South to present brief analyses of liberation theology's future. It includes leaders in the field along with the newest voices. Each of these pieces was presented in the American Academy of Religion in the first five years of the Liberation Theologies Consultation. As the consultation itself stated, the two themes of this book are: cross-over dialogue - between contexts and between disciplines; and reflection on the implications of liberationist discourse for the transformation of theology itself.

Long before the Occupy movement, modern cities had already become the central sites of revolutionary politics. Consequently, cities have been the subject of much utopian thinking. But at the same time they are also centers of capital accumulation and the front line for struggles over who controls access to urban resources and who dictates the quality and organization of daily life. Rebel Cities places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, from New York City to S達o Paulo. Drawing on the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane waysand how they can become the focus for anticapitalist resistance.
❱ ❱ ❱ ❱ ❱ ❱ TRENDING NOW ❱ ❱ ❱ ❱ ❱ ❱ The Bradley Manning case continues to unfold with the 23 year old US army private recently testifying at his court martial about the conditions of his detention, which a formal UN investigation denounced as “cruel and inhuman”.
With climate change constantly in the news and the environmental situation getting more desperate than ever, Dr Helen Caldicott has never ceased working tirelessly for a safe, sustainable, nuclear-free planet.
But who is Private First Class Bradley Manning? Why did he commit the largest security breach in American history - an why was it so easy? Is Manning a traitor or a whistleblower? Is longterm isolation an outrage to American values - or the new norm? And what impact does new information really have?
In Loving This Planet, Caldicott—whom Meryl Streep has called “my inspiration to speak out”—scrutinizes our unsustainable dependence on nuclear energy and the absurdity of nuclear arms and seeks to raise awareness about other planetary issues, including deforestation, sealevel rise, and privatization of water reserves. Includes conversations with Bill McKibben, Antony Loewenstein, Michael Madsen, Frances Fox Piven, Martin Sheen, and many more.
In this new book, the astonishing leaks attributed to Bradley Manning are viewed from many angles, from Tunisia to Guantanamo Bay, from Foggy Bottom to Baghdad to small-town Oklahoma. Around the world, the eloquent act of one young man obliges citizens to ask themselves if they have the right to know what their government is doing.

Boy 30529 tells the story of a boy who at the age of twelve lost everything: hope, family, and even his own identity. As Nazi persecutions grew in intensity, young Felix's father went to England to obtain travel papers to allow the family to emigrate from Czechoslovakia. But they never made it out of Prague. Felix spent the next three years in a series of concentration camps-Terezín, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Blechhammer, Gross-Rosen and Buchenwald-and survived the Death March from Blechhammer in 1945. The book is a meditation on memory and of how to forget, and how the Holocaust remains an event at the center of historical debate.
Anbara Salam Khalidi (1897 - 1986) was a feminist, activist and writer.

It focuses on such issues as: changing policy approaches to public high school, the "middle class flight" to private schools, how school systems in Australia mirror international policy changes, and the tensions between local and regional decision-making groups interested in reforming secondary high school policy.

Gender and Decolonization in the Congo
The Hindu Erotic
The Legacy of Patrice Lumumba
David Smith, Lancaster University, UK.
Karen Bouwer is Associate Professor of French at the University of San Francisco, USA.
Perhaps more than any other religion Hinduism is associated in the modern mind with the erotic. The Kama Sutra and the sexual activity portrayed in stone at the great medieval Indian temple complex of Khajuraho are renowned the world over. Hindu sculpture, defined as uniquely able to express inner states of being, is no less able to portray the beauty of eroticism. Many Hindus see their religion rising above the world of the senses and deprecate western enthusiasm for a perceived erotic India. Smith explores the true significance of Hindu eroticism. He shows that while withdrawal from the senses is a major component of Hinduism, it is precisely because the Hindu appreciation of the power of the senses is so very refined that asceticism developed in India as a counter-reaction. He argues that so varied, extensive and diffused is the Hindu idea of the erotic that it is central to understanding the inner heart of Hinduism.

Gender and Decolonization in the Congo focuses on women and questions of gender in its examination of Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961), the assassinated leader of the independent Congo.

In 2011, the UK government proposed huge cuts and market-driven reforms for Universities. The proposals provoked widespread opposition in the form of street protests, occupations, and online campaigns. Dispalying a stunning grasp of the policy details, the author looks at the long term impact of the changes, which has been obscured by the focus on tuition fee increases. What will be the role of universities within society? How will they be funded? What kind of experiences will they offer students? written in a clear and engaging style, The Great University Gamble outlines the architecture of the new policy regime, which many find difficult to grasp. With klaxon-like urgency, McGettigan warns that out universities are being transformed from institutions of real learning to profit-driven degree factories.
A nuanced understanding of state violence and gender (in)equalities must consider the varied and contradictory experiences of armed civilian women, female soldiers, and opponents of gun possession. How is ‘feminism' and ‘femininity' negotiated in the early 21st century by civilian and military women in a nation that fetishizes guns? This book addresses this social problem by offering a comparative analysis of the particular dilemmas that gender inequality, class inequality, race/racism and U.S. nationalism generate for women of diverse backgrounds who are struggling to balance conventional gender roles, femininity and gendered violence in the United States.

Interfaith Just Peacemaking is a collected work by 27 Jewish, Muslim and Christian scholars and religious leaders on the ten "practice norms" of the peacemaking paradigm called "Just Peace." Just Peace theory, like the paradigm it most resembles, Just War theory, is a list of specific practices that are applied to concrete contexts. In Interfaith Just Peacemaking, a wholly new work, each "practice norm" is a separate chapter with a general introduction and then commentary by one Christian, Jewish, and Muslim contributor and a short conclusion. It is intended both as a general introduction to Jewish, Christian and Muslim views on just peacemaking, and as a textbook for interfaith and peace studies courses. Quantity

Since the 1970s, liberal American Catholics have sustained a Reform Movement to counteract the conservative drift of the Vatican and preserve and expand on the reforms of Vatican II. This book draws on a range of theory to analyze this movement, which is intent on creating a model of church that exemplifies Vatican II's open attitude toward the modern world.
Imperial Foreign Policy and the Origins of World War II
What is utopia? Why are communes created? Where are they, and what do they promote? The Palgrave Companion to North American Utopias is a fascinating catalog of utopian societies and communes from past to present. From the Shakers to the Mormons to the Raelians and the Hutterites, the quest for a utopian lifestyle has been a human endeavor since the beginning of time. In this intriguing guide, North American utopian communities are explored by John and Virginia Friesen with a view to a new social system for the twenty-first century. The authors assert that the formation of a utopian society is feasible, and give examples of how to create one. This is a smart, clever, and unique reference for all who are curious to know more about utopian communities.
On 3 September 1939, Robert Menzies broadcast to the Australian people the news that their country was at war with Germany. He outlined how every effort had been made to maintain the peace by keeping the door open to a negotiated settlement. However, as these efforts had failed, the British Empire was now ‘involved in a struggle which we must at all costs win, and which we believe in our hearts we will win’. Christopher Waters here examines Australia’s role in Britain’s policy of appeasement from the time Hitler came to power in 1933 through to the declaration of war in September 1939. Focusing on the five leading figures in the Australian governments of the 1930s - Joe Lyons, Stanley Bruce, Robert Menzies, Billy Hughes and Richard Casey - Waters examines their responses to the rise of Hitler and the growing threat of fascism in Europe.

BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Marketplace 3.0 Rewriting the Rules of Borderless Business Hiroshi Mikitani is the founder and chief executive of Rakuten, a leading player in the global e-commerce market. He appeared on the Forbes 400 list for the first time in 2006, and today is ranked at No. 182 with a net worth of $5.6 billion. Hiroshi Mikitani has seen the next battleground in the fight for the future of the Internet. Rejecting the zero-sum model practiced by some global retailers, who view the Internet purely as facilitator of speed and profit. Mikitani argues for an alternate model that benefits vendors, customers and communities alike by empowering players at every step in the process. Rakuten is already pioneering this new model, and Marketplace 3.0 offers colourful examples of its success in Japan and around the world. Mikitani reveals how the company enforces a global mindset (for instance, by requiring all its employees to speak English, even in Tokyo); how it incorporates new acquisitions rather than seeking to seel them for a quick profit; and how it competes with other retailers on speed and quality, without sacrificing te public good. Marketplace 3.0 is an exciting new vision for global commerce, from a company that’s challenging all the accepted wisdom. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230342149, NZRP$44.95 Publish April 2013, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “I told my 7,000 employees – mostly native Japanese speakers – that we would stop what they had been doing all their working lives and immediately transition to doing business in English. I knew my announcement would be met with skepticism and even bitterness. I was not just making a change, I was making a save. The future of Rakuten, the future of Japanese business and the future of globalization were all at stake.” Quantity

BUSINESS & ECONOMICS The New Workforce Challenge How Today's Leading Companies Are Adapting for the Future Andres Hatum is Associate Professor at IAE Business School, Universidad Austral, Argentina, specializing in organizational flexibility and talent management. He is also a consultant and has advised companies including Lazaro Costa, McDonalds, Pegamil, Roberts Bank, Banco Rio, IPS, Leipzig, Nestle, on issues relating to organizational change and HRM. In The New Workforce Challenge, Andres Hatum shows that by looking at the way organisations have dealth with change over time and how workforces have evolved with past generations of workers that employers can understand the challenges they will face in the future and how to prepare for them. Shedding light on the recent changes that organisations have gone through and the new changes to come in the future, Hatum helps businesses to understand how to manage the new workforce. In particular, this understanding will allow companies to not only adapt their structures with respect to how to manage new generations, but also design new ways to organise that can successfully respond to a dynamic and changeable external environment. It is this understanding that will allow managers to build the future firm in which the younger generation will succeed. $59.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137302984, NZRP$69.95 Publish April 2013, 192 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “What makes this time so different from before? There has been always change. However, we are witnessing a rapid transformation of how companies organize at the same time a new generation is taking over critical jobs. This new generation is shaping organizational life but organizations are also bringing deep renovations that aim to adapt to the environment.” Quantity

Migrants often crossed an ocean and never saw their homelands again. Today, they call - or Skype - home the moment their flight has landed, and that's just the beginning. Immigrants everywhere stay in intimate contact with their native countries, creating powerful cross-border networks. In Borderless Economics, Robert Guest, travels through dozens of countries and 44 American states, observing how these networks create wealth, spread ideas, and foster innovation. Covering phenomena such as how young Chinese studying in the West are infecting China with democraticideals, to why the so-called "brain drain" - the flow of educated migrants from poor countries to rich ones, this is a fascinating look at how migration makes the world wealthier and happier.

The book reveals and explores the missing link between the Austrian School of Economics and behavioural finance theory. Monetary instability is the source of the waves of irrational exuberance which spread so much economic destruction and geo-political turmoil when they break. The author comes to two optimistic conclusions. First, political forces in the US will one day gain sufficient strength to repeal Bernanke-ism. But the new revolutionaries must learn from the mistakes of the first monetarist revolution. Second, it is possible for investors to build substantial protection for their wealth and even profit from monetary chaos unleashed by the Federal Reserve - but this depends on throwing overboard much of the established wisdom about optimal portfolio management.

Using more than a dozen case studies from a wide range of fields and historical settings, On Effective Leadership seeks to explain why some leaders are effective, many are not, and only a very few are exceptional. Though leaders exhibit myriad combinations of traits and behaviors, the authors argue that four common elements drive leadership effectiveness across all domains, cultures, and eras. Three of them are skills, and the fourth is the degree of a leader's selflessness. Including implications for followers, leaders, and leadership development, this timely work promises to attract readers with an interest in history and biography, as well as in leadership.
Based on explosive interviews conducted personally by Ferguson, as well as primary documents buried in court records and archives, Inside Job traces in gripping detail how the financial industry and its enablers went rogue. Ferguson shows how three decades of deregulation on both sides of the Atlantic invited the crisis, particularly as key players cycled through positions of power in government, "independent" academia, and big-ticket finance. With clarity, toughness, and stunning freshness, Ferguson offers an unrivalled accounting of our political and economic leadership - and our prospects for eventual recovery.

An advanced strategic approach using options to reduce market risks while augmenting dividend income, Options for Risk-Free Portfolios moves beyond the basics of stocks and options. It shows how the three major segments (stocks, dividends, and options) are drawn together into a single and effective strategy to maximize income while eliminating market risk. The concept is that by rolling into stock positions right before ex-date by opening a collar, and then closing out or exercising right afterwards, the stock's stated dividend rate is annualized at 300% of the stated annual yield. At the same time, downside risk is eliminated with the long put, and that put is paid for with the income from the short call.

Dr. Mark D. White explains the informational, ethical, and practical problems faced by libertarian paternalism and 'nudges,' by which the government subtly influences people's choices for their own good, in his exciting new volume The Manipulation of Choice. In a lighthearted manner, the author points out critical flaws in the way economists model decision-making, how behavioral economics failed to correct them, and how they led to the problems with libertarian paternalism and nudges. Sprinkled throughout with anecdotes, examples, and references to a wide range of scholarly literature, this new volume argues against the use of paternalistic nudges by the government and makes a positive case for individual choice and autonomy.

To survive in any economic climate organizations must manage what they know and adapt this knowledge to rapidly changing environments. Organizational Learning demonstrates that companies can reap greater awards in productivity, speed, and profitability by developing the four categories of information management: a company's "Culture" that institutionalizes knowledge; the "Old Pros" with organizational knowledge born of experience; "Archives" that serves as the institution's internal repository for knowledge; and the "Processes" that impose prior learning and discipline on new generations of employees. Drawing on decades of first-hand experience, Jerry Wellman lays an important foundation for those interested in the ways that information is captured and utilized. Quantity

Bardot, international French film star, trail-blazing sexual rebel, 60s icon and fashion legend, is a vibrant addition to the Film Stars series. Ginette Vincendeau's study of Bardot explores the significance of one of the most famous, fascinating and controversial of all French film stars.

Carmen Miranda Lisa Shaw is a Reader in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at the University of Liverpool. She is author of The Social History of the Brazilian Samba (1999), and co-author (with Stephanie Dennison) of Popular Cinema in Brazil (2004) and Brazilian National Cinema (2007). She co-edited (with Rob Stone) the book Screening Songs in Hispanic and Lusophone Cinema (2012), and was awarded a Senior Research Fellowship by the Leverhulme Trust to complete a research project entitled Tropical Travels: Brazilian Popular Culture Abroad, 1870-1945 in 2012. This is the first book-length study in English of the film career and star persona of Carmen Miranda, the first Latin American star to be invited to imprint her hands and feet outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, in 1941, who officially would become the highest paid woman in the USA in 1946. It examines Miranda's emergence as one of the first stars of the Brazilian film industry after the arrival of sound at the beginning of the 1930s, and her contribution to the rise of the musical comedy tradition known as the chanchada. It seeks to explain Miranda's appeal to both mainstream and marginalized audiences, both in the USA and back in Brazil. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844574322, NZRP$34.95 Publish April 2013, 160 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “An Australian fan comments:, “In July 1942 a poster went up outside the shop opposite my school advertising That Night in Rio.

I pressured my mother to write a note to the headmaster saying I had to go to the dentist. From the opening credits of the film to the amazing Chica chica boom chic number I was entranced and from that moment on I became Carmen Miranda’s No 1 fan. … I was completely dazzled by her costumes, her dancing and singing and how much she was enjoying herself.” Quantity

Tuned to the Future
In his fascinating study, the first in-depth account of the film, Stevie Simkin explores the unrest and protest that Basic Instinct sparked in the gay, lesbian and feminist communities in the US, incensed by what they saw as the script's homophobia and misogyny. Simkin considers the social and cultural context in which Basic Instinct was made, examining the film's troubled production history, the battles with censors, and its reception. He also focuses on key sequences, including the infamous interrogation scene, and details the cuts demanded by the censors, resulting in different UK and US versions. In conclusion, Simkin considers the legacy of Basic Instinct, and its enduring effect on media representations of the violent woman.

His essay on colonial modernity in 1930s Shanghai was the winner of the 2009 Katherine Kovacs Essay Award, Honorable Mention, and his dissertation received the 2005 Dissertation of the Year Award, Honorable Mention, both by the Society for Cinema and Media Studies.
This book charts the elements involved in such claims-print, culture, technology, history-through a method that examines the iconography of materials, marks and processes of print, and in this sense acknowledges McLuhan's notion of the medium as the bearer of meaning. Even in the digital age, many diverse forms of print continue to circulate and gain meaning from their material expression and their history. However, Frances Robertson argues that print culture can only be understood as a constellation of diverse practices and therefore discusses a range of print cultures from 1800 the present ‘post-print' culture.

A groundbreaking study of Taiwan cinema, this is the first English language book that covers its entire history. Hong revises how Taiwan cinema is taught and studied by taking into account not only the auteurs of New Taiwan Cinema, but also the history of popular genre films before the 1980s. This work is essential reading for students and scholars of Taiwan and Chineselanguage cinemas and those interested in the larger context of East Asian cultural history as well as film and visual studies in general.

Invisible Acts
Silencing Cinema brings together the key issues and authors in the field of film censorship research. Approaching censorship as a necessary mediating factor in discourses that govern the film industry and film culture allows for a discussion of cases of censorship that escape some of the more narrowly moralistic (or overly progressive) studies. Including essays by some of the best-known film historians working today, the book offers a state of the art of (historical) research on film censorship in major film production countries, including the US, the UK, Russia/Soviet Union, Germany, India, China, Nigeria, and Latin America- dealing with questions of the legal system(s), policies, and institutional practices in these countries.
The author explores rape and domestic violence against women around the turn of the seventeenth century in England, its pernicious erasure in the period's cultural representations, the framing and negotiation of that erasure in some of the most iconic texts in English theatre history - Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, Heywood's A Woman Killed With Kindness, Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, and Middleton and Rowley's The Changeling - and the politics of rehearsing it all on our late twentieth- and twenty-first century stages. Solga positions the book as both a history and an ethics: early modern theatre texts are still produced regularly and to acclaim around the world, prompting her to ask how we might perform these texts with a difference, staging the history of violence's elision, rather than just that elision itself.

When Q was first published in Italy in 1999, it was an instant sensation. Here the protagonist, the mysterious Anabaptist known as El Alamein, returns. When a fire breaks out in the Arsenal of Venice in 1569, everyone suspects Joseph Nasi, number-one enemy of the republic. But it is Emmanuele De Zante, spy catcher and agent, who finds himself in jail accused of treason, having been betrayed by his lover. But who is De Zante? When Nasi offers De Zante the chance to escape, he is launched on an odyssey that takes him to Thessalonika, the Jerusalem of the Balkans, all the way to the Sultan's palace in Constantinople. Thrown into a maelstrom of political games with deadly consequences, De Zante finds betrayal and danger around every corner as the narrative races toward its devastating denouement.

Young Albert Honig spends much of his time in solitude, his daily routine shaped by the almost mystical attention he quietly lavishes on his bees. Into his thightly repressed existence bursts a brash young neighbour, whose vivacity and boldness begin to transform his life. Yet years pass by, feelings are repressed, opportunities missed. When, one balmy day, led by a trail of bees, Albert discovers her body, he is plunged back into his memories, and finally confronts the lies and secrets that led to their estrangement. In doing so, he unearths the real truth of Claire's murder - a question not so much of who but why. Telling the Bees is a beautifully imagined novel of friendship and unspoken love, of the far-reaching consequences of words left unspoken and the power of truth both to wound and to heal.

A Grammar and Workbook, Second Edition
Mastering Practical Grammar
“Perfect for high school and university students, as well as general readers, this clear and accessible introduction to English grammar takes the reader through the basics from the word through phrases and clauses to the discourse level, offering plenty of exercises and real-world examples along the way. The emphasis is on using our natural instincts about what grammar is, while getting the balance right between theory and practice. For example, poetry and fiction are thoroughly covered — but so too are texts such as recipes, sales blurbs and estate agents’ brochures. The point is, if we can understand how language is being used in a variety of situations, we will be better placed to use it both creatively and, yes, practically.” -The West Australian, September 18th 2012

This book explores the construction of male sexuality in nineteenth century American literature and comes up with some startling findings. Far from desiring heterosexual sex and wishing to bond with other men through fraternity, the male protagonists of classic American literature mainly want to be left alone. Greven makes the claim that American men, eschewing both marriage and male friendship, strive to remain emotionally and sexually inviolate. Examining the work of traditional authors-Hawthorne, Poe, Melville, Cooper, Irving, Stowe-Greven discovers highly untraditional and transgressive representations of desire and sexuality. Objects of desire from both women and other men, the inviolate males discussed in this study overturn established gendered and sexual categories.

Eating is the most pleasurable, gross, necessarym unspeakable, biological process we humans undertake. But few of us realize what strange wet miracles of science operate inside us after every meal. In her trademark style, Mary Roach breaks bread with spit connoisseurs and enema exorcists, stomach slugs, rectumexamining prison guards, and the compretitive hot dog eaters (how much can you eat before your gut bursts?) - as she investigates the beginning and end of our food.
Aarathi Prasad is a biologist and science writer. Previously a cancer genetics researcher at Imperial College London, she subsequently moved into the worlds of science communication and policy.
Featuring numerous original creations, this book presents an entertaining look at mathematically based card tricks. The effects in each chapter are rated in four key areas: ease of performance, whether any setup is needed, how much mathematics is involved, and how well it appeals to a general audience. In addition, each chapter highlights the effect with the best use of the mathematical principle involved. Three chapters address the growing field of two person mathemagic, which uses subtle information theory principles to communicate. The text provides relevant mathematical details, suggestions for potential extensions, and an index of mathematical topics cross-referenced to each chapter.

Most cultures tell the tale of a maiden who gives birth untouched by a man. Is this just a myth, or could virgin birth be the way we make babies in the future? In Like a Virgin, biologist Aarathi Prasad looks at inconceivable ideas about conception, from the "Jesus Christ" lizard's ability to self-reproduce (it walks on water, too) to the tabloid hunt for a real-life virgin mother by geneticists in the 1950s. Prasad then transports us to the maverick laboratories that today are inventing the equivalent of "nonsexual selection", from mother-to-daughter womb transplants to egg-fertilizing computer chips, from sperm replacements for women to silicone wombs for men.

hotsprings Daena Murray, with introduction by Nicolas Rothwell. Dr. Daena Murray, former and now Emeritus Curator of the Museum and Art Gallery of The Northern Territory, has collected together an extraordinary range of contemporary artworks with qualities that clearly identify them with the Northern Territory. Created by both indigenous and non-indigenous artists resident and active in the Northern Territory, these artworks share characteristics that include references and responses to the land and its unique colours and geographic formations; to the diverse culture and cultural changes that have occurred; to specialist local developments in various art forms such as printmaking, woven constructions in natural materials, site specific installation art and sculpture; and to Darwinian origins. Daena Murray’s richly detailed and well informed text, with introduction by Nicolas Rothwell, appears alongside the chosen artworks which are beautifully reproduced in this idiosyncratic publication which addresses the influences a particular region can have on its art and artists.

H20 Architects to 2012 Introduced by Elizabeth Jarrelly. Designed by Brian Sadgrove. The buildings of H20 architects Tim Hairburgh and Mark O’Dwyer have been praised for their design commitment to sustainability, playfulness and their intelligent responses to a variety of sites and purposes. These architects practice what they call ‘expensive modernism’ in their design which are predominantly for schools, government buildings and universities. No two alike, the buildings can be brilliantly coloured like Avondale Heights Library and Learning Centre or rough and timbered like RMIT’s Textile Faculty in South Brunswick. Swinburne and Deakin Universities have also benefited from H20’s unique designs, as has Victoria’s State Emergency Service Headquarters. This is architecture with a difference – beautifully illustrated in the book. $39.95, 9781921394980, NZRP$69.95 Soft cover with colour throughout Quantity December 2012, 96 pages Macmillan Art Publishing
