Drawing on scientific research, as well as his own personal and clinical experience, awardwinning research psychologist Michael E. Addis describes in this book an epidemic of personal, relational, and societal problems that are caused by the widespread invisibility of men’s vulnerabilities. From increasing rates of suicide among men, to alcohol abuse, to violence and school shootings, his research reveals the continued cost of staying silent when emotional, physical, or spiritual pain enters men’s lives. Addis identifies the specific problems that result from men’s silence and invisibility, what causes them, and how they can be changed. Addis provides readers with compelling stories of the causes and consequences of silence and invisibility in real men’s lives. Invisible Men shows both male and female readers how they can break through the gauntlets that appear to protect men, but in reality cause severe harm to men, women, and families. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780805092004, NZRP$44.95 Publish December 2011, 304 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity 9 780805 092004 Self-Help

The History of Democracy

A Viewer’s Guide to the 50 Landmark Movies Added to the National Film Registry in 2009/10

A Marxist Interpretation

Daniel Eagan has worked for Warner Bros., MGM, and other studios as a researcher and story analyst.

In a unique contribution, Brian Roper refreshes our understanding of democracy using a Marxist theoretical framework. He traces the history of democracy as it has passed through various historical moments from Athenian democracy to the emergence of liberal representative democracy in Europe and North America, to the global spread of democracy during the past century. Against conventional accounts, Roper argues that democracy cannot be understood separately from underlying processes of exploitation, and the class struggles these generate. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331898, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2011, 256 pages Pluto Quantity Political History

The Business and Culture of Sex in the Middle East

The Middle East in the Balance

John R. Bradley is an expert on the Middle East.

David Gardner is Chief Leader Writer and Associate Editor at the Financial Times.

John R. Bradley sets out to uncover the truth about sex in countries like Egypt, Syria, Morocco and Yemen. Among many startling revelations, Bradley reports on how “temporary” Islamic marriages allow for illicit sex in the theocracies of Iran and Saudi Arabia; “child brides” that are sold off to older Arab men according to ancient tribal traditions; the hypocrisy that undermines publicized crackdowns on the thriving sex industry in the Persian Gulf; and how, despite widespread denial, homosexuality is still deeply ingrained in the region’s social fabric. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230114272, NZRP$32.95 Publish December 2011, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Society & Culture

David Gardner, addresses the controversial but urgent question: why is the Middle East so dysfunctional? And what can be done about it? Clear-sighted, never flinching from unpalatable truths, Gardner draws on his acute grasp of history and decades of experience covering the region to look at why conflict, despotism and sectarianism continue to flourish in the Arab world whilst as they decline everywhere else. The ‘Middle East exception’ is, he argues, a product of the West’s own making. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848857438, NZRP$29.95 Publish December 2011, 272 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Current Affairs & Politics

Blair’s Just War

On José Martí

Iraq and the Illusion of Morality

A Dialogue

Peter Lee, Lecturer in Air Power Studies at King’s College London, based at RAF College Cranwell in Lincolnshire, UK.

Cintio Vitier, who died in 2009 aged 88, was a celebrated Cuban poet and essayist. Daisaku Ikeda is the President of the Soka Gakkai International, a worldwide Buddhist network.

Bringing together both contemporary and historical just war concepts, Peter Lee shows that Blair’s illusion of morality evaporated quickly and irretrievably after the 2003 Iraq invasion because the ideas Blair relied upon were taken out of their historical context and applied in a global political system where they no longer hold sway. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230355705, NZRP$54.95 Publish December 2011, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics

Once called ‘the wellspring of the revolution’ by Fidel Castro, José Martí (1853-1895) is revered as one of the greatest figures in the history of Cuba. In this wide-ranging discussion of Martí’s life, work and influence, Cintio Vitier and Daisaku Ikeda explore their subject’s understanding of nonviolence; his nationalism that was also a profound openness to difference and dialogue; his spirituality; his poetical writings; and above all his fundamental dignity, humanity and self-mastery. $59.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848851993, NZRP$79.95 Publish December 2011, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Biography

Many otherwise enlightened people often dismiss etiquette as a trivial subject or - worse yet - as nothing but a disguise for moral hypocrisy or unjust social hierarchies. But in On Manners, Karen Stohr turns the tables on these easy prejudices, demonstrating that the scope of manners is much broader than most people realize and that manners lead directly to the roots of enduring ethical questions. Stohr suggests that though manners are mostly conventional, they are nevertheless authoritative insofar as they are a primary means by which we express moral attitudes and commitments and carry out important moral goals. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415875387, NZRP$39.95 Publish December 2011, 182 pages Routledge Philosophy / Society Quantity

Do we really have freedom to act, or are we slaves to our genes, environment or culture? Mathew Iredale gets to grips with one of the most intractable issues in philosophy: the problem of free will. Iredale explores what it is about the free will problem that makes it so hard to resolve and argues that the only acceptable solution to the free will problem must be one that is consistent with what science tells us about the world. It is here, maintains Iredale, that too many works on free will, introductory or otherwise, fall down, by focusing only on how free will relates to determinism. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655045, NZRP$39.95 Publish December 2011, 192 pages Acumen Publishing Quantity Popular Philosophy

This book explores the Janus-faced features of privacy, and looks at their implications for the control of personal information, for sexual and reproductive freedom, and for democratic politics. Above all, the book seeks to understand whether and, if so, why, privacy is valuable in a democratic society, and what implications privacy has for the ways we see and treat each other. This book argues that although privacy is an important democratic value, we can only realise that value if we use democratic ideas about the freedom, equality, security and rights of individuals to guide our understanding of privacy. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415395700, NZRP$39.95 Publish December 2011, 182 pages Routledge Quantity Philosophy / Society

Julia Driver, Washington University, USA.

Karin Friedrich, University of Aberdeen, UK.

Consequentialism is the view that the rightness or wrongness of actions depend largely on their consequences. It is one of the most influential, and controversial, of all ethical theories. In this book, Julia Driver introduces and critically assesses consequentialism in all its forms. After a brief historical introduction to the problem, Driver examines utilitarianism, and the arguments of its most famous exponents, John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham, and explains the fundamental questions underlying utilitarian theory: what value is to be specified and how it is to be maximised. $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415772587, NZRP$67.00 Publish December 2011, 224 pages Routledge History & Philosophy

Friedrich assesses the ability of the Prussian state to integrate its constituent parts, not least by creating a patriotic identity and notion of unity under the name of ‘Prussia’. $38.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230535657, NZRP$48.00 Publish December 2011, 160 pages Palgrave Macmillan History & Philosophy Quantity

The British Imperial Experience from 1765 to the Present

Peter Grieder offers a thought-provoking introduction to the history of East Germany which engages critically with key debates and advances fresh interpretations. Arguing that the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was a totalitarian welfare state, Grieder divides the life of the GDR between 1945 and 1990 into six phases: conception, construction, consolidation, conservatism, crisis and collapse. He analyses key concepts in the Introduction and provides an overall assessment of the GDR at the end of the volume.

When capitalism is clearly catastrophically out of control and its excesses cannot be sustained socially or ecologically, the ideas of Herbert Marcuse become as relevant as they were in the 1960s. This book deals specifically with his aesthetic theories and their relation to a critical theory of society. Malcolm Miles provides an insight into how Marcuse’s aesthetic theories evolved within his broader attitudes, from his anxiety at the rise of fascism in the 1930s through heady optimism of the 1960s, to acceptance in the 1970s that radical art becomes an invaluable progressive force when political change has become deadlocked. $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9780745330389, NZRP$67.00 Publish December 2011, 208 pages Pluto Quantity History & Philosophy

Thomas Banchich,Canisius College, USA, and Eugene Lane.

The Roman World 44 BC - AD 180 deals with the transformation of the Mediterranean regions, northern Europe and the Near East by the military autocrats who ruled Rome during this period. The book traces the impact of imperial politics on life in the city of Rome itself and in the rest of the empire, arguing that, despite long periods of apparent peace, this was a society controlled as much by fear of state violence as by consent.

Beyond Animal Rights

B. D. Hopkins, Corpus Christi College Cambridge, UK. This book examines the evolution of the modern Afghan state in the shadow of Britain’s imperial presence in South Asia during the first half of the nineteenth century. It challenges the staid assumptions that the Afghans were little more than pawns in a larger Anglo-Russian imperial rivalry known as the ‘Great Game’. Instead, it argues the way the East India Company related to the Afghan kingdom was definitional of both, and explains many of the unresolved issues central to the region today. The book considers the underlying causes of the failure of British policies and imagination with regards to Afghanistan and its consequences for the region and its inhabitants. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230302372, NZRP$55.00 Publish December 2011, 280 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History & Philosophy

Current Affairs & Politics The Chinese Army Today

Islam in Global Politics

Tradition and Transformation for the 21st Century, Second Edition

Conflict and Cross-Civilizational Bridging Bassam Tibi is a Professor Emeritus of International Relations, UK.

Dennis J. Blasko, retired Military Intelligence Officer and Foreign Area Officer, USA.

This book examines the impact of Islam on ‘civilizational’ relations between different groups and polities. Bassam Tibi takes a highly original approach to the topic of religion in world politics, exploring the place of Islam in society and its frequent distortion in world politics to the more radical Islamism. Looking at how this becomes an immediate source of tension and conflict between the secular and the religious, Tibi rejects the ‘clash of civilizations’ theory and argues for the revival of Islamic humanism to help bridge the gap. $67.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415686259, NZRP$84.00 Publish December 2011, 256 pages Routledge Current Affairs & Politics

Eve Pollecoff here tells the story of Otto Markus who established his East African Trading Company in the wake of growing British interest in East Africa: especially Kenya and Uganda. The company survived two world wars, waves of anti-Semitism in Europe, and pioneered staple crops for which Africa became famous, especially cotton and coffee. Pollecoff paints an impressive portrait of Otto Markus as a dynamic international entrepreneur, the focus of a large and traditional family, and, above all, the embodiment - perhaps unwittingly of informal empire. $59.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848859371, NZRP$79.95 Publish December 2011, 224 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Biography

Art’s Emotions

Sigismund’s Watch

Ethics, Expression and Aesthetic Experience

A Tiny Catastrophe

Damien Freeman is a full-time writer and editor.

Barbara Loftus has exhibited widely since the 1970s.

As our awareness of emotion in art, and our engagement with art’s emotions, can make such a special contribution to our life, it is timely for a philosopher to seek to account for the nature and significance of the experience of art’s emotions. Damien Freeman develops a new theory of emotion that is suitable for resolving key questions in aesthetics. He then reviews and evaluates three existing approaches to artistic expression, and proposes a new approach to the emotional experience of art that draws on the strengths of the existing approaches. Finally, he seeks to establish the ethical significance of this emotional experience of art for human flourishing. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655120, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2011, 240 pages Acumen Publishing Quantity Art

The Benefit of Farting

Letters from London and Europe

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer.

Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa was unpublished in his own lifetime. He began The Leopard, his only novel, in 1954, at the age of fifty-eight.

What is the nature, essence and definition of a fart? What are the consequences and disadvantages of suppressing one? Why is farting considered to be a taboo? Swift's The Benefit of Farting argues eloquently, in a forceful and a posteriori fashion, that most of the distempers thought to affect the fairer sex are due to flatulences not adequately vented. To complete the excursus into this venerable and age-old human activity, Charles James Fox's Essay upon Wind provides a detailed analysis, classification and history of farting, peppered with wit and curious anecdotes about particularly eminent farters of the past. $19.95 Hb, ISBN 9781847490315, NZRP$29.95 Published 2007, 150 pages Oneworld Classics Humour Quantity

Tom McCarthy's critically acclaimed debut novel, Remainder, was a worlwide success and has been translated into many languages.

Peter Benson's first novel, The Levels, won the Guardian Fiction Prize.

Traumatized by an accident which ‘involved something falling from the sky’ and leaves him eight and a half million pounds richer but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, Remainder’s hero spends his time and money obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past. But when this fails to quench his thirst for authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events, as his repetition addiction spirals out of control. A darkly comic meditation on memory, identity and history, Remainder is a parable for modern times. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881459, NZRP$24.00 Published March 2011, 288 pages Alma Quantity Fiction

Regarded as Fitzgerald’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Great Gatsby is a vivid chronicle of the excesses and decadence of the “Jazz Age”, as well as a timeless cautionary critique of the American dream. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491749, NZRP$19.95 Published March 2011, 256 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

The Thirteenth Apostle

Notes from Underground

Michel Benoît was an unordained monk who eventually quit the Catholic Church and decided to devote himself to research and writing.

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is considered one of the greatest writers of all times.

When his friend Andrei is mysteriously killed on a train on his way back from Rome, Father Nil, a Benedictine, decides to conduct his own investigation. The dead priest possessed proof of the existence of a thirteenth apostle and an epistle stating that Jesus was nothing more than an inspired prophet, not the Son of God. While he pushes ahead with his investigation, the Pope’s advisors, rival factions and secret societies are trying, by any means, to lay their hands on the priest’s findings. From the Mossad to Fatah, everyone seems to have a very good reason to keep the thirteenth apostle a secret... $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881534, NZRP$24.95 Published June 2011, 384 pages Alma Quantity Fiction

The unnamed narrator of the novel, a former government official, has decided to retire from the world and lead a life of inactivity and contemplation. His fiercely bitter, cynical and witty monologue ranges from general observations and philosophical musings to memorable scenes from his own life, including his obsessive plans to exact revenge on an officer who has shown him disrespect and a dramatic encounter with a prostitute. Seen by many as the first existentialist novel and showcasing the best of Dostoevsky’s dry humour, Notes from Underground was a pivotal moment in the development of modern literature. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491619, NZRP$22.95 Published November 2010, 160 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity

Palgrave Publicity Spotlight On….

On Tour

The Whistleblower: Sex Trafficking, Military Contractors, and One Woman's Fight for Justice, starring Rachel Weisz is out in cinemas September 29th!

The authors of The Making of Hong Kong will be touring Australia in late September. Their tour will include Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Launceston. This book investigates what the history of Hong Kong's urban development has to teach other cities as they face environmental challenges, social and demographic change and the need for new models of dense urbanism. The authors describe how the high-rise intensity of Hong Kong came about; how the forest of towers are in fact vertical culs de sac; and how the city might become truly ‘volumetric' with mixed activities through multiple levels and 3D movement networks incorporating ‘town cubes' rather than town squares.

When Nebraska police officer and divorced mother of three Kathryn Bolkovac saw a recruiting announcement for private military contractor DynCorp International, she applied and was hired. Bolkovac was shipped out to Bosnia, where DynCorp had been contracted to support the UN peacekeeping mission. She was assigned as a human rights investigator, heading the gender affairs unit. At great risk to her personal safety, she began to unravel the ugly truth about officers involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution and their connections to private mercenary contractors, the UN, and the U.S. State Department.

Religion, Ritual and Virtual Reality

Alex Hall, Universty of Durham, UK.

Godwired offers an engaging exploration of religious practice in the digital age. It considers how virtual experiences, like stories, games and rituals, are forms of world-building or ‘cosmos construction’ that serve as a means of making sense of our own world. Such creative and interactive activity is, arguably, patently religious. Rachel Wagner suggests that whilst our engagement with virtual reality can be viewed as a form of religious activity, today’s virtual religion marks a radical departure from traditional religious practice. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415781459, NZRP$69.95 Publish December 2011, 320 pages Routledge Society & Culture

Questions over immigration and asylum face almost all Western countries. Should numbers be limited? Should only economically useful immigrants be allowed? What should be done with unwanted or ‘illegal’ immigrants? In this bold and original intervention, Alexandra Hall shows that immigration detention centres offer a window onto society’s broader attitudes towards, and treatment of, immigrants. This book analyses the everyday encounters between officers and immigrants in order to explore broad social trends and theoretical concerns. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745327235, NZRP$54.95 Publish December 2011, 224 pages Pluto Quantity Society & Culture

This book draws on a long-term ethnographic study of prolonged separation between transnational Filipino migrant mothers in the UK and their left-behind children in the Philippines.

There are many books that suggest philanthropy can change the world but how do you ensure that your assets will achieve maximum impact and efficiency? The Business of Giving does just this by describing the systems and processes philanthropists need to adopt in order to achieve their goals. It provides a ‘toolkit’ for philanthropic investment taking the reader through each stage of their decision making. Its techniques are equally applicable whatever investment vehicle is being utilised from traditional grants to new products such as social bonds and impact investing. $59.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230336797, NZRP$69.95 Publish December 2011, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Business & Economics

Modern electric vehicles (EVs) are well suited to most people’s general transport needs. Despite this, their adoption at a large scale has been grindingly slow. What are the reasons for this? Unlike most books which focus on the technical aspects of EV performance, this guide sets out the commercial and political barriers to their increased use and lays out the ways in which these barriers can be overcome. The book covers industrialized and emerging economy contexts, the latter of which have the greatest opportunities - and most urgent need - to take the EV development route. $89.95 Hb, ISBN 9781849714150, NZRP$112.00 Publish December 2011, 224 pages Earthscan Quantity Business & Economics

Time and Narrative in Cinema

Thomas Elsaesser, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The clock plays a significant part in our understanding of temporality, but while it simplifies, regulates and coordinates, it fails to reflect and communicate the more experiential dimensions of time. As Helen Powell demonstrates in this book, cinema has been addressing this issue since its inception. Stop the Clocks! examines filmmakers’ relationship to time and its visual manipulation and representation from the birth of the medium to the digital present. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848851757, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2011, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers The Arts

This book shows how conventional regulation of food provision through sovereign national governments is becoming elusive, as the distinctions between domestic and international, and between public and private spheres, disappear. At the same time multinational companies and supranational institutions put serious limits to governmental interventions. The authors apply these themes in several detailed case studies, including organic, fair trade, local food and fish. $64.95 Pb, ISBN 9781849712613, NZRP$84.95 Publish December 2011, 296 pages Earthscan Science & Environment Quantity
