LEAD TITLES Murdoch's Politics How One Man’s Thirst For Wealth and Power Shapes Our World David McKnight is a Senior Research Fellow at the Journalism and Media Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He is the award-winning author of Beyond Right and Left: New Politics and the Culture War and has worked as a journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald, ABC TV's prestigious investigative programme Four Corners and on the Weekly Tribune. Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation is the most powerful media organisation in the world. Murdoch's commercial success is obvious, but less well understood is his successful pursuit of political goals, using News Corporation as his vehicle. In Murdoch's Politics, David McKnight tracks Murdoch's influence, from his support for Reagan and Thatcher, to his attacks on Barack Obama and the Gordon Brown government. He examines the secretive corporate culture of News Corporation: its private political seminars for editors, its sponsorship of think tanks and its recurring editorial campaigns around the world. Following the phone hacking crisis and possible bribery charges which have tarnished Murdoch's personal reputation and his media empire, this book is a highly topical study of one of the most influential and controversial figures of the modern age. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745333465, NZRP$39.95 Publish February 2013, 248 pages Pluto

Australian Author

From the book: “While being ruthlessly devoted to making money, Murdoch has given equal attention to shaping News Corporation as a crusading corporation, a media institution with a mission. Publicly, his newspapers and TV interests such as Fox News systematically articulate Murdoch’s political values and provide a soapbox for conservative writers and intellectuals. Privately, News Corporation has a deeply political corporate culture, sponsoring think tanks and holding political seminars for editors and executives where editorial campaigns are hammered out.” Quantity

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY Free Will The Basics Meghan Griffith is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Davidson College, USA. She specializes in free will and action theory.

The Basics

The question of whether humans are free to make their own decisions has long been debated and it continues to be a controversial topic today. In Free Will: The Basics readers are provided with a clear and accessible introduction to this central but challenging philosophical problem. The questions which are discussed include: Does free will exist? Or is it illusory? Can we be free even if everything is determined by a chain of causes? If our actions are not determined, does this mean they are just random or a matter of luck? In order to have the kind of freedom required for moral responsibility, must we have alternatives? What can recent developments in science tell us about the existence of free will? Because these questions are discussed without prejudicing one view over others and all technical terminology is clearly explained, this book is an ideal introduction to free will for the uninitiated. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415562201, NZRP$34.95 Publish February 2013, 192 pages Routledge

From the book: “Philosophers throughout history have discussed different parts or faculties of the human mind (or soul). Sometimes the distinction is drawn between the ‘intellect’ and the ‘will.’ The ‘intellect’ is the part that reasons. The ‘will’ is the part that chooses. So while my intellect reasons to the conclusion that eating toast would be good, it is my will that must take the final step in actually choosing to eat toast. Philosophers continue to debate to what extent the will does or should follow what the intellect says (though few current-day philosophers would actually put it in terms of ‘an intellect’ and ‘a will’).” Quantity

The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade

Christians and Jews in the Ottoman Empire

The Abridged Edition, with a New Introduction

Aleksander Pluskowski, Reading University, UK.

$69.00 Pb ISBN 9780415691710 Publish February 2013 448 pages Routledge NZRP$87.00

The author explores the archaeology and material culture of the crusade against the Prussian tribes in the 13th century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order which lasted into the 16th century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with written and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order's theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture.

How did the vast Ottoman empire, stretching from the Balkans to the Sahara, endure for more than four centuries despite its great ethnic and religious diversity? The classic work on this plural society, the two-volume Christians and Jews in the Ottoman Empire, offered seminal reinterpretations of the empire's core institutions and has sparked more than a generation of innovative work since it was first published in 1982. This new, abridged, and reorganized edition, with a substantial new introduction and bibliography covering issues and scholarship of the past thirty years, has been carefully designed to be accessible to a wider readership.

Ray Raphael, Humboldt State University, USA.

On March 18, 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Gideon v. Wainwright that all defendants charged with a crime punishable by imprisonment of more than a year have the constitutional right to free legal counsel if they cannot afford their own. Karen Houppert examines the legacy of this landmark decision, chronicling the cases of defendants across the country who have relied on Gideon's promise. Houppert's investigation takes her from Washington state, where overextended public These compelling narratives illuminate reform efforts as well as the critical problems that plague indigent defense in the United States, helping us to understand how and why it is failing, and what can be done to better fulfill Gideon's promise.

With the entry of the Tea Party onto the political scene, the U.S. Constitution has become a political battleground, with liberals and conservatives trading fire over its meaning and intent. In this book, he sorts out truth from fiction, juxtaposing what historians know about the Constitution with what most Americans (and politicians) think they know about it. The surprising misconceptions Raphael corrects include the Framers embraced limited government, the Framers were enlightened and disinterested statesmen, not politicians pushing special interests, the Constitution promoted democracy and promised equality, the Founding Fathers gave us the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution provided the "final answer" and must forever endure.

Early Modern Things

The Slaves' Gamble

Objects and Their Histories, 1500-1800

Choosing Sides in the War of 1812

Paula Findlen, Stanford University, USA.

Gene Allen Smith, Center for Texas Studies, USA.

This fascinating collection taps a rich vein of recent scholarship to explore a variety of approaches to the material culture of the early modern world (c.1500-1800). Divided into six parts this book explores; the ambiguity of things, representing things, making things, empires of things, consuming things and lastly the power of things. Spanning across the early modern world, the authors provide a generous set of examples in how to study the circulation, use, consumption and, most fundamentally, the nature of things themselves. Drawing on a broad range of disciplinary perspectives and lavishly illustrated, Early Modern Things supplies fresh and provocative insights into how objects ordinary and extraordinary, secular and sacred, natural and man-made - came to define some of the key developments of the early modern world.

Images of American slavery conjure up cotton plantations and African American slaves locked in bondage until the Civil War. Yet early on in the nineteenth century the state of slavery was very different, and the political vicissitudes of the young nation offered diverse possibilities to slaves. Author Gene Smith draws on a decade of original research and his curatorial work at the Fort Worth Museum in this fascinating and original narrative history. The way the young nation responded sealed the fate of slaves for the next half century until the Civil War.This drama sheds light on an extraordinary yet little known chapter in the dark saga of American history.

The Romantics and the Myth of the Islamic Orient

The Syrian civil war between the Syrian Army and the Free Syrian Army has been raging since March 2011. Inspired by the Arab Spring revolutions, the uprising has intensified pressure – both international and domestic - on President Bashar al-Assad to be removed from power.

Roderick Cavaliero is a writer and historian.

$29.95 Pb ISBN 9781780764825 Publish February 2013 272 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers NZRP$37.00

The women themselves talk about their experiences, how they came to find war impacting on their own lives and ideas, and how they became active and involved in a political process, overcoming prejudice and difficulty to do so. The book integrates this direct experience into a historical overview, analysing the two world wars as catalysts of social change for women. It looks at how the changing nature of war, especially the involvement of civilians, increasingly involves significant numbers of women. War, Women's Liberation and the Peace Movement challenges negative assumptions about Muslim women, and shows how a diverse movement against war is creating a broader awareness of the need to change society.

Cavaliero analyses the Romantic vision of the Orient from Ottoman Turkey, through the Middle East - fascination with the exotic Orient mixed with distaste for despotic rule. The Romantics saw the Ottoman Empire as the feebler successor to the huge and invincible military state that threatened Europe in previous centuries; and the Ottoman Sultan as an absolute ruler living in distant splendour, with power of life and death over his people. But dislike of Oriental despotism could be overlaid by the frisson of oriental luxury, especially as the Ottoman Sultans were also heirs to the Caliphate of the iconic Harun ar Rashid in the fabulous Arabian Nights Entertainments - tales hugely popular in Europe and symbolising timeless Eastern luxury.

In Power and Policy in Syria, Radwan Ziadeh presents a fresh and penetrating analysis of Syria’s political structure - a “despotic” state monopoly, a bureaucratic climate marked by fear, and the administrative structure through which centralized control is exercised. With a focus on Syria’s intelligence services which have significant influence in legal and policy decisions, and the conditions and patterns of foreign policy decision-making, particularly vis-à-vis the US, Power and Policy in Syria is essential reading for understanding the current conflict. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780762906 November 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers NZRP$42.95

Lindsey German is the co-author of A People's History of London (2012).

Situated in the heart of London's Holland Park are the remains of Holland House - the site of what was once England's most celebrated political salon. In the first thirty years of the nineteenth century - when the Whig party was almost constantly out of office - the home of the third Lord Holland became the unofficial centre of the Opposition. Presided over by the beautiful and clever Lady Holland and combining discussion of politics and the arts, the salon attracted the greatest names of the age - Byron, Talleyrand and Madame de Stael were all frequent visitors. In this book, Linda Kelly brings to life the colourful world of Holland House.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS The Big Truck that Went By How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster Jonathan Katz is the 2010 recipient of the Medill Medal of Courage in Journalism and the 2012 winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Workin-Progress Award for this book. He was stationed in Haiti for nearly three and a half years and was the only American reporter in the country when the earthquake hit on January 12, 2010. He routinely appears as an expert on Haiti for television and radio, with interviews on ABC news, BBC World Service, WNBC, NBC Nightly News, NPR, CBC Television, and Democracy Now. On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere struck Haiti. The world pledged more than $15.3 billion for relief and reconstruction. Yet nearly three years later, Haiti is still in crisis. What went wrong? In this gripping account, Jonathan Katz bears witness to the devastation, the struggles of its victims - starting with his own unlikely story of survival - and thakes a hard look at international humanitarian aid, revealing how even the best intentions can leave countries worse off than before. Taking an up-close look at Bill Clinton, Sean Penn, Wyclef Jean, Haitian presidents, past and present, and above all ordinary people persevering amid the absurdities of life in the quake zone, this vivid and intimate piece of reportage takes you inside an unimaginable disaster in one of the most fascinating countries in the world. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230341876, NZRP$49.95 Publish February 2013, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “I was done with Haiti. In two and a half years I’d seen six hurricanes and tropical storms, riots and a hunger crisis. Every three months there was a disaster, and every disaster was the same. Powerful countries would read with sympathetic words and pledge millions of dollars. Then the aid would get tied up in bureaucracy, lost in a mayor’s office, squandered on fanciful pilot projects or never delivered at all.” Quantity

The Myth of Martyrdom What Really Drives Suicide Bombers, School Shooters, and Other Self-Destructing Killers Adam Lankford is an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at The University of Alabama, USA. His research has been featured by media outlets such as Foreign Policy, The Daily Beast, CNN, NPR, The Atlantic, and The Boston Globe. For decades, experts have maintained that suicide terrorists are the psychological equivalent of America’s Navy SEALS - men and women so fully committed to their cause that they cease to fear death. In this book, Lankford corrects this misconception, arguing that these mysterious souls are driven to suicide by the same factors as any civilian: depression, anxiety, marital strife, or professional failure. He takes readers on a journey through the minds of suicide bombers, airplane hijackers, lone wolf terrorsts, cult members, school shooters, kamikaze pilots, and more. The result is an astonishing exploration of fear, failure, guilt, shame and rage, told through case studies, suicide notes, love letters, diary entries, and martyrdom videos. Lankford belives that it is only by exploring these heretofore unacknowledged secrets of suicide terrorists that we will ever be able to stop them, and he outlines the first steps our government and military must take toward accomplishing that seeimingly impossible goal. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230342132, NZRP$49.95 Publish February 2013, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Case studies in the book: Holsworthy Barracks terror (Australia, 2009) Ander Behring Beivik (Norway, 2011) Muriel Degouque (Iraw, 2005)

In the recent past there have been several high-profile unilateral, bilateral and multilateral declarations calling for a world free of nuclear weapons, further efforts to prevent proliferation and initiatives to secure nuclear material from falling into the hands of non-state actors, particularly terrorists groups. The author seeks to provide a concise and comprehensive analysis of the role of global institutions in this campaign. It provides a brief historical survey of the key international institutions as well as their major achievements, details the new challenges that confront these institutions, and analyses examine the role of the ad-hoc arrangements which emerged to address these specific challenges and their impact on the existing international institutions that they were meant to strengthen.

Crisis of Global Sustainability

Frantz Fanon

A Crisis of Thinking and Institutions

Pramod K. Nayar, University of Hyderabad, India.

Tapio Kanninen, City University of New York, USA

Frantz Fanon has established a position as a leading anticolonial thinker, through key texts such as Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth. He has influenced the work of thinkers from Edward Said and Homi Bhabha to Paul Gilroy, but his complex work is often misinterpreted as an apology for violence. This clear, student-friendly guidebook considers Fanon's key texts and theories, looking at postcolonial theory's appropriation of psychoanalysis, anxieties around cultural nationalisms and the rise of native consciousness, postcoloniality's relationship with violence and separatism, and new humanism and ideas of community.

This concise and informative book provides a critical history of the concept of sustainability and the various institutional measures taken to promote, implement and enforce sustainable development, proposing new organizational solutions to deal with the crisis of sustainability. Crisis of Global Sustainability provides for the first time a compact insider description of the evolution and impact of the Club of Rome, a global think tank that produced a groundbreaking 1972 study The Limits to Growth which highlighted the dangers of unrestrained economic growth and possible collapse of global economy during the first decades of the 21st century.

The Future as Cultural Fact

Andrew F. Cooper, University of Waterloo, Canada and Ramesh Thakur.

Essays on the Global Condition

This work offers a concise examination of the purpose, function and practice of the Group of Twenty (G20) summit. Providing a comprehensive historical account of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors process, the text then moves on to outline the conditions, events and debates that led to the formation of the permanent, expanded leaders' level forum. This work offers a detailed examination of the ongoing shifts in economic power and the momentum toward global institutional reform, illustrating how the G20 has moved from a crisis committee to the premier global forum over this short but intense history, and mapping out its comparative advantages and key challenges ahead.

This major collection of essays, a sequel to Modernity at Large (1996). Appadurai takes a broad analytical look at the genealogies of the present era of globalization through essays on violence, commodification, nationalism, terror and materiality. Alongside a discussion of these wider debates, Appadurai situates India at the heart of his work, offering writing based on first-hand research among urban slumdwellers in Mumbai, in which he examines their struggle to achieve equity, recognition and selfgovernance in conditions of extreme inequality. Finally, in his work on design, planning, finance and poverty, Appadurai embraces the "politics of hope" and lays the foundations for a revitalized, and urgent, anthropology of the future.

For a long time, the word 'anarchist' has been used as an insult and the concept of anarchy has been presented as a recipe for pure disorder. The Anarchist Turn brings together innovative and fresh perspectives on anarchism to argue that in fact it represents a form of collective, truly democratic social organisation. The book shows how in the last decade the negative caricature of anarchy has begun to crack. Globalisation and the social movements it spawned have proved what anarchists have long been advocating: an anarchical order is not just desirable, but also feasible. The contributors argue that with the failure of both free-markets and state socialism the time has come for an 'anarchist turn' in political philosophy.

The author reveals the untold story of the truly unique linguistic and educational developments that took place among republican prisoners in the 'Jailtacht' of Long Kesh prison from 19722000. During a period of bitter struggle between republican prisoners and the British state, the Irish language was taught and spoken as a means of struggle during incarceration. The book shows how this had a rejuvenating impact on the cultural revival in the nationalist community beyond the prison walls. This book tells the story of the republican prisoners' struggle and their relationship to the language revival in the communities on the outside.

Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capitalism

Jacqueline Rose, Queen Mary University of London, UK.

$29.95 Pb ISBN 9781844672264 Publish February 2013 256 pages Verso NZRP$38.00

The term conflict has often been used broadly and uncritically to talk about diverse situations ranging from street protests to war, though the many factors that give rise to any conflict and its continuation over a period of time vary greatly. The starting point of this innovative book is that it is unsatisfactory either to consider conflict within a singular concept or alternatively to consider each conflict as entirely distinct and unique; Narrating Conflict in the Middle East explores another path to addressing long-term conflict. The contributors set out to examine the ways in which such conflicts in Palestine and Lebanon have been and are narrated, imagined and remembered in diverse spaces, including that of the media.

Vivek Chibber, New York University, USA.

In The Last Resistance, Jacqueline Rose explores the power of writing to create and transform our political lives. In particular, she examines the role of literature in the Zionist imagination: here, literature is presented as a unique form of dissidence, with the power to expose the unconscious of nations, and often proposing radical alternatives to their dominant pathways and beliefs. While Israel-Palestine is the repeated focus, The Last Resistance also turns to post-apartheid South Africa, to American national fantasy post-9/11, and to key moments for the understanding of Jewish culture and memory. Rose also underscores the importance of psychoanalysis, both historically in relation to the unfolding of world events, and as a tool of political understanding.

For much of the twentieth century, critical analysis of the developing world drew upon theories born of the Enlightenment tradition, such as liberalism and Marxism. But, over the past two decades, such theories have been widely criticized by scholars as Eurocentric, ahistorical and statist. In this carefully honed dissection, Vivek Chibber offers an assessment of the main arguments that these theorists have developed since its inception. Chibber examines whether they offer a plausible framework for understanding the postcolonial world. The book critically examines key subalternist arguments about modernity, hegemony, the universalization of capital, colonial nationalism, subaltern agency, peasant consciousness and concepts such as historicism, the fragment, and Eurocentrism.

Radio Congo

Shadow Lives

Signals of Hope from Africa’s Deadliest War

The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror

Ben Rawlence is a senior researcher on Africa for Human Rights Watch.

Victoria Brittain was a journalist at the Guardian for 20 years.

Ben Rawlence sets out to gather the news that never travels far - the news of the uneasy peace being made in the towns of Congo's silent quarter. Rather than taking the direct flight suggested by aid workers and mercenaries, he travels by foot, motorbike, and boat, taking his time to meet the people who are making a new life in one of the world's most dangerous places. He introduces us to Colonel Ibrahim, a guerrilla turned army officer; the Lebanese cousins Mohammed & Mohammed, young tin traders shipped to Africa by their family; the talk-show host Mama Christine, who dispenses counsel and courage in equal measure; and the priest Jean-Baptiste, who explains the price of beer and normality. Along the way, Rawlence reveals the real story of Congo, during and after the war, and the seeds of a peaceful future.

This book reveals the unseen side of the war on terror: its impact on the wives and families of men incarcerated in Guantanamo, or in prison or under house arrest in Britain. Victoria Brittain shows how these families have been made socially invisible and a convenient scapegoat for the state - in the UK and the US - in order to exercise arbitrary powers under the cover of the 'War on Terror'. Shadow Lives provides insights into methods of incarceration and social control being used by the British state by giving a voice to the families whose lives have been turned upside down by these powers. In doing so the book raises urgent questions about the wider impact on freedom and democracy in our society.

“Ryszard Kapuscinski, one of the 20th century’s most celebrated political journalists, died in 2007. Posthumously, he found his biographer in a young admirer, Artur Domoslawski. Unsurprisingly, the biography created a cultural explosion in Poland. The fascinating but perplexing story it tells is of a great writer, a political trimmer and a compulsive confabulator. Nor is it a mere biography. Domoslawski understands that an account of Kapuscinski’s life necessarily involves an exploration of how the younger generation of Poles ought to judge those entangled in the country’s communist era.” - Robert Manne, The Saturday Age, August 11th 2012 $49.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844678587 June 2012, 464 pages Verso NZRP$64.95 Quantity

On August 28, 1963, hundreds of thousands of African-Americans marched on the capital demanding jobs and freedom. The demonstration would become known as the March on Washington, and became legendary as the place where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous ‘I Have a Deam’ speech. Among the demonstrators was nineteen year old Clayborne Carson. In this rich and engrossing memoir, he takes us back in time to remember the movement’s early years and the struggles involved in realising MLK’s dream. Set against the backdrop of the encroaching Vietnam War and the heady prrotests of the 1960s, he remembers himself as a young man struggling to come to terms with his political and racial identity. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230621695, NZRP$49.95 Publish February 2013, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “On the one hand, he believed that women are just as intelligent and capable as men and that they should hold positions of authority and influence.

MEMOIR

BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIR John Maynard Keynes

Recollections of a High Court Judge

Vincent Barnett.

Sir Ronald Waterhouse GBE became a High Court Judge in 1978.

This historical biography shows how Keynes was more than an academic theorist and how his policy proposals had a significant impact on the economic and financial architecture of many Western countries from the 1920s onward. Vincent Barnett emphasizes the relationship between the personal and professional by presenting the book chapters in pairs, examining first the central features of Keynes's life, personal development and policy ideas over the period in question, and then the theoretical content of his major writings from the same period. Barnett argues controversially that allowing psychology a much greater role within economics was a main but often-neglected feature of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, and that Keynes's policy writings were more concerned with the Britain's national interest than is sometimes recognised.

In these engaging memoirs, Ronald Waterhouse, who sat as one of Britain's leading High Court Judges, provides fascinating frontline insights into the complex British legal system. Waterhouse became a High Court judge in 1978, and went onto lead the biggest inquiry into child abuse ever held in Britain, publishing the highly significant and influential report Lost in Care in 2000. From his early career as a barrister at Middle Temple - where his diverse practice included libel, civil and personal injury alongside high-profile cases such as the notorious Moors Murders and the Aberfan Inquiry - to his Queen's Bench appointment in 1988, Waterhouse here presents a detailed and authoritative narrative of British justice in the second half of the 20th century.

Maziar Bahari.

Hu Feng, the "counter-revolutionary" leader of a banned literary school, spent twenty-five years in the Chinese Communist Party prison system. But back in the early days of Communist China he was among the party's chief literary theoreticians and critics-at least until factional infighting, and his short fuse, made him persona non grata among the establishment. F is her account of that time, beginning ten years after Hu Feng's initial arrest, as she navigates the party's Byzantine prison bureaucracy, searching for his whereabouts. Eventually imprisoned, she cares for her husband in his rage and suffering, watching his descent into madness as the excesses of the Cultural Revolution take their toll.

Maziar Bahari left London in June 2009 to cover Iran's contested presidential elections for Newsweek magazine. He thought he'd be returning in just a few days to Paola, his pregnant fiancĂŠe. Instead, he was incarcerated under false charges of espionage in Evin, a state prison notorious for its role in Iran's history of torture and oppression. Suffering regular beatings, forced confessions, and threats of execution, Bahari draws strength from the similar experiences of his family in the past: his father was imprisoned by the shah in the1950s, and his sister by Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1980s. Exposing the contradictions at the heart of Ahmadinejad's paranoid regime, this inspiring and often witty story of one family's courage in the face of repression is also a beautifully written portrait of modern Iran.

Delpit presents a striking picture of the elements of contemporary public education that conspire against the prospects for poor children of color. In this book, Delpit reflects on two decades of reform efforts-including No Child Left Behind, standardized testing, the creation of alternative teacher certification paths, and the charter school movement-that still have left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher math isn't for them. In her wonderful trademark style, punctuated with telling classroom anecdotes and informed by time spent at dozens of schools across the country, Delpit outlines an inspiring and uplifting blueprint for raising expectations for other people's children, based on a simple premise: multiplication is for everyone.

The Epidemiology of Mass Incarceration in America

What Chinese Want

Culture, Consumerism and the Modern Chinese Consumer

Ernest Drucker, City University of New York, USA.

$26.00 Pb ISBN 9781595588791 Publish February 2013 240 pages The New Press NZRP$34.00

This book details how the United States has among the worst indicators of health in the industrialised world and at the same time spends disproportionally more on its health care system than any other industrial nation. The authors explain this apparently contradictory phenomenon as the product of the unique brand of capitalism that has developed in the US. It is this particular form of capitalism that created both the social conditions that largely influence health outcomes and the inefficient, unpopular and inaccessible health care system that is incapable of dealing with them. The authors argue that improving health in America requires a change in the conditions in which people live and work as well as a restructured health care system.

When Dr. John Snow first traced an outbreak of cholera to a water pump in London in 1854, the field of epidemiology was born. Ernest Drucker makes the case that our current unprecedented level of imprisonment has become an epidemica plague upon our body politic. He argues that imprisonment-originally conceived as a response to individuals' crimes-has become "mass incarceration": a destabilizing force that undermines the families and communities it targets, damaging the very social structures that prevent crime. This book demonstrates that our unprecedented rates of incarceration have the contagious and self-perpetuating features of the plagues of previous centuries. Sure to provoke debate and shift the paradigm of how we think about punishment, A Plague of Prisons offers a totally novel perspective on criminal justice in twenty-first-century America.

“A society obsessed with consumerism, but appalled by individualism, should be an ad agency’s happy hunting ground as everybody tries to acquire the same status symbol. Come up with the killer campaign and the client is in. Dream on mad men, because the Chinese consumer is smart and subtle and appreciates originality in brand images and attributes that allow them to ‘stand out and fit in’. As Doctoroff writes: ‘If you want to capture attention, whisper. China chic is monochromatic with a flash of colour, a gaze punctuated by a wink.’ And it helps to have a big international brand to sell. For all their patriotism, the Chinese are suspicious of local products – hardly surprising given scandals such as the 2008 milk substitution racket. Ad man Doctoroff details the complexity of marketing to consumers who would love to live like Westerners – well, Americans actually – but know their parents and the party would disapprove.”

Female Entrepreneurship

Global Luxury Trends

Maura McAdam, Queen's University Belfast, UK.

Innovative Strategies for Emerging Markets

This concise book explores how women fit into the contemporary entrepreneurial discourse by recognizing that gender intersects with, and influences, women's experience of entrepreneurship. The book is novel in that it considers women to be a heterogeneous group and as such acknowledges that ethnicity, culture, class and education will all influence and intersect with female entrepreneurship. As a consequence, it explores issues ranging from theoretical relationships between the constructs of gender and entrepreneurship to more empirical work on how entrepreneurship might act as an empowering change agent for women. In order to address the Euro-US centric assumptions underpinning the influence of gender upon entrepreneurship, a chapter is dedicated to the role of entrepreneurship in empowering Palestinian women.

Fifty Key Writers on Photography is a clear and concise survey of some of the most significant writers on photography who have played a major part in defining and influencing our understanding of the medium. It provides a succinct overview of writing on photography from a diverse range of disciplines and perspectives and examines the shifting perception of the medium over the course of its 170 year history. Key writers discussed include Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Jacques Derrida, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Geoffrey Batchen.

From this book: “Postmodernism opened up the context of photography and exposed the limits of an aesthetic and formalist approach to the medium as fine art. Photography was seen and understood as an integral part of mass culture, and it was ideological through and through. Photography had a habit of appearing to disguise ideology, make it appear natural— as, among others, Roland Barthes in Mythologies, 1957, and Malek Alloula in his later The Colonial Harem, 1981, have both so brilliantly shown us.” Quantity

After Dracula

Art Beyond the Lens

The 1930s Horror Film

Working with Digital Textures

Alison Peirse, University of Northumbria, UK.

Sarah Gardner, Fine Art Photographer, UK.

This book argues that Dracula (1931) has been canonised to the detriment of other innovative and original 1930s horror films in Europe and America. She considers the horror genre's international evolution during this period, engaging with a number of European horror films that have hitherto received cursory attention. She focuses on the interplay between Continental, British and transatlantic contexts, and particularly on the intriguing, the obscure and the underrated. This historical account reveals wide disparities across horror filmmaking in the 1930s and brings to light a cycle of films of which many have been forgotten and unloved - until now.

Vintage-looking, dream-like textures can open up a whole new world in your photography. However, there is much, much more to working with textures than simply merging them with an image via Photoshop. In this gorgeous new guide from texture guru Sarah Gardner, you'll learn everything there is to know about how to maximize the potential of these exciting tools. In addition to hundreds of beautiful example images, this book is also packed with practical advice on what makes a good texture, and how and when to use them. Workshop notes and a supplemental website will help you put Sarah's techniques into practice immediately.

Taking the American Clement Greenberg's 'Modernist Painting' as a point of departure, this book will be both a historical survey and a critical re-evaluation of the contested and contingent nature of the medium of painting over the last 50 years. Craig Staff focuses on certain developments including the relationship of painting to Conceptual Art and Minimalism, the pronouncement of paintings alleged death, its response to Installation Art's foregrounding of site, how it was able to interpret ideas around appropriation, simulation and hybridity and how today painting can be understood as both imaging and imagining the digital.

In 1939, a young, inexperienced actor wrote to a famous actress of his acquaintance, asking for advice on playing comedy. She responded enthusiastically, and they corresponded variously over the next year. The Craft of Comedy, a record of these exchanges, soon emerged as one of the few classic texts in the field of comedy acting. Supplementary materials in this edition include summaries, definitions, and exercises and practice scenes for readers wishing to explore Athene Seyler's invaluable advice; photographs, additional essays by Seyler, and a guide to easily accessed video clips of her performing.

What is the state of American indie cinema in the second decade of the twenty-first century? As this book demonstrates, plenty of distinctively indie productions continue to thrive. Geoff King explores new opportunities for indie films, including the use of low-cost digital video and the pursuit of the internet and social media as alternative means of funding, distribution, promotion and sales. Other detailed case studies focus on the ultra-low-budget 'mumblecore' movement; the social realism of filmmakers such as Kelly Reichardt; the 'digital desktop' aesthetics of Susan Buice and Arin Crumley's Four Eyed Monsters and Jonathan Caouette's Tarnation, and the articulation of notions of 'true' indie in opposition to what are seen by some as the quirky contrivances of cross-over hits such as Little Miss Sunshine and Juno.

The Ethics of Visuality

This is Not Art

Levinas and the Contemporary Gaze

Activism and Other ‘Not-Art’

Hagi Kenaan, Tel-Aviv University, Israel.

Alana Jelinek, University of Cambridge, UK.

Can images ever provide the sense of meaningfulness we crave? French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas contronted and subverted this question. Hagi Kenaan takes his mysterious idea as the starting point for a strikingly original philosophical argument on the place of visuality in Levina's ethics. The Ethics of Visuality looks at the key concepts of his work and articulates his vision of 'Otherness' together with the visual tropes of the human face as symbolic of alterity and transcendence. Where other critical approaches have largely undermined Levinas' ambivalence toward the visual, The Ethics of Visuality uncovers the relevance of his bias against the visual, and makes place for a philosophy of the importance of the human face to ethical living the contemporary world.

Art disrupts and resists the status quo and if it fails in this prime objective it only serves to deaden a disenfranchised society further. So argues This Is Not Art. With the postmodern deconstruction of new-outdated shibboleths, new and neoliberal myths about art have arisen to take their place: that art's value is primarily monetary, or that art is important be cause it ameliorates social problems. This book draws on Foucault and Marx to uncover an artworld obsessed with profile and from which diversity, individuality and freedom have been erased. Alana Jelinek returns to the question 'what is art?', retelling the history of art practcie and exposing the ways in which neoliberal norms and values have seeped into every aspect of our lives.

Research in language acquisition has steered clear of notions of learner ‘individuality’ favouring instead to search for universal acquisition process. The qualitative approaches have begun to bring issues of individuality to the fore. Autonomy, agency and identity have emerged as important constructs through which researchers are seeking to understand relationships between individuals and the social contexts in which they learn and use languages, and case studies of individuals have become a preferred approach to Applied Linguistics research. This volume explore how individuality is conceptualised in socially-oriented approaches to Applied Linguistics research.

Paul Gilroy

The Rise of the Novel

Dr Paul Williams, University of Exeter, UK.

Nicholas Seager, Keele University, UK.

Paul Gilroy has been a controversial force at the forefront of debates around race, nation, and diaspora. Gilroy has argued that racial identities are historically constructed, formed by colonization, slavery, nationalist philosophies, and consumer capitalism. Paul Williams introduces Gilroy's key themes and ideas, including the essential concepts, including ethnic absolutism, civilizationism, postcolonial melancholia, iconization, and the ‘black Atlantic' analysis of Gilroy's broad-ranging cultural references, from Edmund Burke to hip-hop a comprehensive overview of Gilroy's influences and the academic debates his work has inspired.

This Reader's Guide explores the key critical debates and theories about the rising novel, from eighteenth-century assessments through to present day concerns. Nicholas Seager surveys major criticism on authors such as Aphra Behn, Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding and Jane Austen; covers a range of critical approaches and topics including feminism, historicism, postcolonialism and print culture; and demonstrates how critical work is interrelated, allowing readers to discern trends in the critical conversation. $37.00 Pb ISBN 9780230251830 Publish October 2012 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRP$46.00

HEALTH & LIFESTYLE Making Habits, Breaking Habits How to Make Changes that Stick Psychologist Jeremy Dean is the founder and author of the popular website PsyBlog (www.psyblog.co.uk), which has been featured on the BBC and in the Guardian. Dean is currently a researcher at University College London, and this is his first book. Why is it so difficult to get in the habit of something good? Now, psychologist Jeremy Dean shares the new brain science of routine that can improve any person's life, every day. Habits are powerful, Dean explains, because of the way in which the brain runs automatically. Amazingly, we spend a third of our waking hours falling into habits without even realizing it - ruminating over past events, or clicking through web sites trawling for updates. Such unconscious thoughts and actions can, however, be steered to our benefit. Drawing on hundreds of fascinating studies, Dean reveals how to take control of your brain's "auto-pilot" to transform willpower into reality. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689897, NZRP$29.95 Publish February 2013, 288 pages Oneworld Publications

From the book: “We all have an intuitive sense that our habits are built purely in the service of our goals (remember that bad habits are also goal-oriented, although the goal might not be a good one, like getting drunk to forget one’s problems). Indeed the stronger people’s habits, the more they believe that those habits are goal-oriented.” Quantity

The Face of Emotion How Botox Affects Our Mood and Relationships

William Shakespeare. Edited by Eric Rasmussen and Jonathan Bate.

What if our facial expressions set our moods instead of revealing them? The author has been studying that question for nearly two decades, and in this book he marshals evidence suggesting that our facial expressions are not secondary to, but rather a central driving force of, our emotions. Dr. Finzi shows how changing a person's face not only affects their relationships with others but also with themselves. In his studies using Botox, he has shown how inhibiting the frown of clinically depressed patients leads many to experience relief. This work is a dramatic departure from the neuroscience-based thinking on emotions that tends to view emotions solely as the result of neurotransmitters in the brain.

This new edition of Shakespeare’s muchloved Sonnets, developed by and for the Royal Shakespeare Company, features a Foreword by the actor/director, Fiona Shaw. Its easily accessible layout and elegant design make it the ideal gift for any special occasion – especially Valentine’s Day. $9.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230290419 January 2011, 176 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRP$12.95

SCIENCE & ENVIRONMENT The Genius of Dogs How Dogs Are Smarter than We Think Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods are the cofounders of the new dog intelligence testing and training company Canines Inc. Hare is Assistant Professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University whose research on "dognition" has been published in the leading journals. Woods writes for BBC Wildlife and New Scientist and is author of the acclaimed memoir Bonobo Handshake. They have spent many hours testing their theories on their dog, Tassie. Is your dog purposefully disobeying you? Probably, and usually behind your back. What animal hasn’t beaten dogs on any measure of intelligence? Apologies, but it’s the cat. why shouldn’t you act like ‘top dog’ to maintain control? You’re better off displaying your friendliness. Starting with a landmark discovery in 1995 by evolutionary anthropologist Brian Hare, a wunderkind who now leads the field, scientists have learned how dogs think. Then, Hare provided that his family’s dog was not only cleverer than any fox but also cleverer than any chimp. Now, Hare and science writer Vanessa Woods share all of the secrets of dogs’ uniquely evolved intelligence, how your dog is a genius, and how to understand your dog’s world. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689859, NZRP$44.95 Publish February 2013, 384 pages Oneworld Publications “Brian Hare’s research on dogs, wolves, and great apes has been a game changer.

The Particle at the End of the Universe The Hunt for the Higgs and the Discovery of a New World Sean Carroll is the author of the acclaimed From Eternity to Here and a star of theoretical physics based at the California Institute of Technology. He is also one of the founders of cosmicvariance.com, named as a top 5 science blog by Nature, and a TV presenter. It was the universe's most elusive particle, the linchpin for everything scientists dreamed up to explain how stuff works. It had to be found. But projects as big as CERN's Large Hadron Collider don't happen without dealing and conniving, incredible risks and occasional skullduggery. Award-winning physicist and science popularizer Sean Carroll reveals the history-making forces of insight, rivalry, and wonder that fuelled the Higgs search and how its discovery opens a door into the mind-boggling domain of dark matter and other phenomena we never predicted. Told with unrivalled ambition, authority, and access to the teams, this is the greatest science story of our time - riveting and irresistible. $32.95 Hb, ISBN 9781780742328, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2012, 336 pages Oneworld Publications

From the book: “This is the story of the people who devoted their lives to discovering the ultimate nature of reality, of which the Higgs is a perfect embodiment. There are theorists, sitting with pencil and paper, fueled by espresso and heated disputes with colleagues, turning over abstract ideas in their minds. There are engineers, pushing machines and electronics well beyond the limits of existing technology. And most of all there are the experimenters who bring the machines and the ideas together to discover something new about nature. Modern physics at the cutting edge involves projects that cost billions of dollars and take decades to complete, requiring extraordinary devotion and a willingness to bet high stakes in search of unique rewards. When it all comes together, the world changes.” Quantity

The judges commented that My Beautiful Genome puts a personal story at the heart of the science. To some extent we are all narcissists and we want to learn more about ourselves, Frank provides us with an insight into how our genes help to define us. She keeps you wanting to read more.”

Weaving cosmology with everyday, downto-earth examples, Frank presents dazzling, provocative insights into how time passes through our lives - and what cutting-edge physics has in store for us next. A Palaeolithic farmer moved through the sun-fuelled day in a radically different way to a modern office worker bound into 15-minute Outlook increments but both grasped time based on unseen but potent scientific discoveries. With the advent of "clockless" physics and other breakthroughs, science is again rewritng time and our experience of it.

THE ART OF

JOHN BORRACK

This magnificent book, authored by Lucy Ellem, outlines the life and career of a major proponent of the art of watercolour. John Borrack is a significant Australian landscape artist who has travelled the country recording its extraordinary land forms. The more than 270 pages are fully colour illustrated with hundreds of reproductions.

LUCY GRACE ELLEM

John Borrack, born in 1933 and a renowned Australian landscape painter whose career spans more than 50 years, continues to paint full-time in his studio north of Melbourne where the once rural landscape of the Plenty Valley is being overtaken by suburban development.

IN PRAISE OF LANDSCAPE THE ART OF

JOHN BORRACK LUCY GRACE ELLEM

MACMILLAN

His landscapes, mainly executed in water colour and lavishly reproduced in this book record the beauty of this region and then extend to many remote areas of the continent - particularly in the north - where extraordinary land formations range from the ‘picturesque’ to the ‘sublime’. He says, “lonely corners of Australia inspire an overwhelming sensation of space and distance. These places to which I am constantly drawn provide me with both a spiritual experience and the starting points for paintings.” Author Lucy Ellem, an art historian who studied at The University of Melbourne before undertaking postgraduate research at Yale and then lecturing at La Trobe University, provides an eloquent account of the artist’s career, connecting his paintings with the longer tradition of landscape paintings - and in particular, in watercolours.
