BIOGRAPHY
The Crimes of Elagabalus Martijn Icks Elagabalus was one of the most notorious of Rome’s ‘bad emperors’: a sexuallydepraved and eccentric hedonist who in his short and riotous reign made unprecedented changes to Roman state religion and defied all taboos. Since his assassination by the Praetorian Guard at the age of eighteen, Elagabalus has been an object of fascination to historians and a source of inspiration for artists and writers. $24.95 Pb 9781780765501 NZRP$32.95 April 2013, 288 pp I.B. Tauris Publishers
‘...[a] racy biography.’ Christopher Hart, The Sunday Times ‘A serious, stimulating study of Elagabalus.’ Judith Weingarten, Times Higher Education ‘A clear and well-organised account written in a lively and approachable way.’ Brian Campbell, Professor of Roman History, Queen’s University Belfast, UK.

The Nazi Seance Arthur J. Magida 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. Seasoned with ruminations about wonder and magic (and explanations of Hanussen’s tricks), The Nazi Séance 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. $27.00 Pb 9780230342040 NZRP$34.00 March 2013, 288 pp Palgrave Macmillan

I.B.Tauris Short Histories is an authoritatively written and elegantly presented new series which puts a fresh perspective on the way history is taught and understood in the twenty-first century. Designed to have strong appeal to university students and their teachers, as well as to general readers and history enthusiasts, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to bring informed interpretation, as well as factual reportage, to historical debate. Addressing key subjects and topics in
series seeks intentionally to move beyond the bland, neutral ‘introduction’ that so often serves as the primary undergraduate teaching tool. Covering a variety of subjects in a greater degree of depth than is often found in comparable series, yet at the same time in concise and compact handbook form, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to be ‘introductions with an edge’.

Readers will find a refreshing and provoking book that pushes the physics community to refocus how it conducts science.” -Hans Volker Klapdor-Kleingrothaus, University of Heidelberg

The Brain Book Stress Control The Secret World of Sleep Penelope A. Lewis In The Secret World of Sleep, neuroscientist Penny Lewisexplores the latest research into the nighttime brain to understand the real benefits of sleep. By understanding the roles that the nocturnal brain plays in our waking life, we can improve the relationship between the two, and even boost creativity and become smarter. This is a fascinating exploration of one of the most surprising corners of neuroscience that shows how science may be able to harness the power of sleep to improve learning, health, and more. $39.95 Hb 9780230107595 NZRP$49.95 August 2013, 208 pp Palgrave Macmillan
Susan Balfour Many books have tackled the subject of stress. Some are heavy, academic and encumbered with scientific jargon. Others maintain a lighter, rather superficial approach. This book is a happy blend of the best of both styles. Stress Control combines the necessary medical information with a contemporary snapshot on today’s society, an analysis of what is happening to humankind now that we are well into the twenty first century. $23.00 Pb 9781848290624 NZRP$29.00 April 2013, 200 pp Anshan Publishing
Ken Ashwell The Brain Book investigates the amazingly complex and intriguing structure that is the human brain. Made up of billions of nerve cells, the brain controls our thoughts, movements, behaviour and emotions. This comprehensive book explores such diverse topics as how we sense the world, consciousness and memory, through to diseases and disorders, the ageing brain and spinal injury repair. Hundreds of colour images, including stunning 3-D illustrations created exclusively for this book, reveal the intricate workings of the brain to show incredible details beyond what the eye can usually see. $59.95 Hb 9781420256840 NZRP$34.00 September 2012, 352 pp

100 Science Fiction Films Barry Keith Grant Despite its high profile, science fiction is notoriously difficult to define. In his introduction to 100 Science Fiction Films, Barry Keith Grant explains the genre’s complexities, while also providing an overview of its history, suggesting that the cinema is an ideal medium for conveying the ‘sense of wonder’ that critics have argued is central to the genre. $34.95 Pb 9781844574575 NZRP$44.95 June 2013, 224 pp Palgrave Macmillan
Baba Didi and the Godwits Fly Nicola Muir, Annie Hayward. With foreword by Helen Clark. This is an illustrated story for children aimed at children aged 5-9. The godwits are an iconic bird species which migrate each year from New Zealand/Aotearoa to the Alaskan Arctic regions. A girl and her grandmother are on a beach watching the godwits feeding and the story of the godwit’s epic migration is charmingly told, touching on waves of human migration on the way – of the Maori to Aotearoa as well as the grandmother’s own. $15.95 Hb 9781780261300 NZRP$19.95 June 2013, 32 pp New Internationalist
