LEAD TITLES Economics for the Curious Inside the Minds of 12 Nobel Laureates Robert M. Solow is Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a professor of economics since 1949. He taught macroeconomics and other subjects to undergraduate and graduate students until January, 1996. Professor Solow studied at Harvard and received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1987 for his theory of growth. Alfred Marshall, the founder of modern economics, once described economics as 'the study of mankind in the ordinary business of earning a living'. In Economics for the Curious, 12 Nobel Laureates show that 'the ordinary business of earning a living' covers a wide range of activities, as they take readers on an engaging tour of some of the everyday issues that can be explored using basic economic principles. Written in the plainest possible language, Nobel Laureates including Paul Krugman, Eric Maskin, Finn E. Kydland and Vernon Smith confront some of the key issues challenging society today - challenges that claim attention in any phase of the business cycle. The range of topics includes: how economic tools can be used to rebuild nations in the aftermath of a war; financing retirement as longevity increases; the sustainable use of natural resources; and what governments should really be doing to boost the economy. Economics for the Curious is an accessible but informative display of the kinds of questions economics can illuminate. It will appeal to anyone who has an interest in economics and the world around them, and it will encourage further interest and study in the topic from readers everywhere. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137383587 Publish February 2014, 180 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRRP$38.00 The 12 Nobel Laureates in the book: Peter Diamond Paul Krugman Dale Mortensen Roger Myerson Vernon Smith Robert Solow

Imagine There's No Heaven How Atheism Helped Create the Modern World Mitchell Stephens is a professor of Media Studies at New York University, he has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Chronicle of Higher Education, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Newsday, Chicago Tribune, and Los Angeles Times, and has appeared on NPR. The historical achievements of religious belief have been large and well chronicled. But what about the accomplishments of those who have challenged religion? Traveling from classical Greece to twenty-first century America, Imagine There's No Heaven explores the role of disbelief in shaping Western civilization. At each juncture common themes emerge: by questioning the role of gods in the heavens or the role of a God in creating man on earth, nonbelievers help move science forward. By challenging the divine right of monarchs and the strictures of holy books, nonbelievers, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot, help expand human liberties, and influence the early founding of the United States. Revolutions in science, in politics, in philosophy, in art, and in psychology have been led, on multiple occasions, by those who are free of the constraints of religious life. Mitchell Stephens tells the often-courageous tales of history's most important atheists- like Denis Diderot and Salman Rushdie. Stephens makes a strong and original case for their importance not only to today's New Atheist movement but to the way many of us-believers and nonbelievers-now think and live. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137002600 Publish February 2014, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRRP$49.95

This concise study of Ireland's revolutionary years charts the demise of the home rule movement and the rise of militant nationalism that led eventually to the partition of Ireland and independence for southern Ireland. The book provides a clear chronology of events but also adopts a thematic approach to ensure that the role of women and labour are examined, in addition to the principal political and military developments during the period. Incorporating the most recent literature on the period, it provides a good introduction to some of the most controversial debates on the subject, including the extent of sectarianism, the nature of violence and the motivation of guerrilla fighters.

Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement
The Homestead Strike
John A. Kirk
Paul Kahan, Ohlone College, USA.
Martin Luther King, Jr is one of the iconic figures of 20th century history, and one of the most influential and important in the American Civil Rights Movement; John Kirk here presents the life of Martin Luther King in the context of that movement, placing him at the center of the Afro-American fight for equality and recognition. This book combines the insights from two fields of study, seeking to combine the top down; national federal policy-oriented approach to the movement with the bottom up, local grassroots activism approach to demonstrate how these different levels of activism intersect and interact with each other.
On July 6, 1892, three hundred armed Pinkerton agents arrived in Homestead, Pennsylvania to retake the Carnegie Steelworks from the company's striking workers. As the agents tried to leave their boats, shots rang out and a violent skirmish began. The confrontation at Homestead was a turning point in the history of American unionism, beginning a rapid process of decline for America's steel unions that lasted until the Great Depression. Examining the strike's origins, events, and legacy, The Homestead Strike illuminates the tense relationship between labor, capital, and government in the pivotal moment between Reconstruction and the Progressive Era. In a concise narrative, bolstered by statements from steelworkers, court testimony, and excerpts from Carnegie's writings, Paul Kahan introduces readers to one of the most dramatic and influential episodes in the history of American labor.

Critical Moments in American History
$39.00 Pb ISBN 9781408220139 Published July 2013 204 pages Routledge NZRRP$49.00
When we think of American terrorism, it is modern, individual terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh that typically spring to mind. But terrorism has existed in America since the earliest days of the colonies. Using case studies of groups such as the Green Mountain Boys, the Mollie Maguires, and the North Carolina Regulators, as well as the more widely-known Sons of Liberty and the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Kumamoto introduces readers to the long history of terrorist activity in America. Sure to incite discussion and curiosity in anyone studying terrorism or early America, this book brings together some of the most radical groups of the American past to show that a technique that we associate with modern atrocity actually has roots much farther back in the country's national psyche.
CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS People Over Capital The Co-operative Alternative to Capitalism The editor, Rob Harrison, is editor of Ethical Consumer magazine, and has written and commented widely on social change issues for more than 20 years. The authors include a professional journalist, a government economist, a Canadian writer, a French academic and two political activists. Scientists are pointing to increasingly dangerous levels of climate change and habitat destruction, Europe and America are facing their worst economic problems for a generation, and social movements around the world are calling for sweeping reforms. Do co-operatives offer an alternative model of social organisation which could address some of these key issues? Or do they simply offer another way of organising businesses within a predominantly capitalist economy? What would the world look like if co-operatives grew to gradually replace private businesses across every economic sector? Would it be much the same? Would it be somehow transformative or utopian? This book brings together fourteen different perspectives on one of the most promising alternative economic models available today. Economists, academics, co-operators, politicians, campaigners and ordinary people combine to bring a rich array of experiences and insights to kick off a new global debate on how much better a co-operative future might be. $21.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780261614 Published October 2013, 208 pages New Internationalist NZRRP$29.95

Against Austerity
A History of International Thought
Richard Seymour is the author of Unhitched: the Trial of Christopher Hitchens (2012), American Insurgents: A Brief History of American AntiImperialism (2012), The Meaning of David Cameron (2010) and The Liberal Defence of Murder (2008).
From the Origins of the Modern State to Academic International Relations Lucian Ashworth, Science Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.
Five years into capitalism’s deepest crisis, which has led to cuts and economic pain across the world, this book addresses a puzzling aspect of the current conjuncture: why are the rich still getting away with it? Why is protest so ephemeral? Why does the left appear to be marginal to political life? Richard Seymour shows how ‘austerity’ is just one part of a wider elite plan to radically re-engineer society and everyday life in the interests of profit, consumerism and speculative finance. Seymour argues that once we turn to face the headwinds of this new reality, dispensing with reassuring dogmas, we can forge new collective resistance and alternatives to the current system.

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the evolution of western international thought, and charts how this evolved into the predominantly Anglophone field of International Relations. Along the way several myths of the origins of International Relations are explored and exposed: the myth of the peace of Westphalia, the myths of Versailles and the nature of the League of Nations, the realist-idealist ‘Great Debate' myth, and the myth of appeasement. Written in a clear and accessible style, Ashworth's analysis reveals how historical myths have been used as gatekeeping devices, and how a critical re-evaluation of the history of international thought can affect how we see international affairs today.

The Battle for Europe
Marx and Alienation
How an Elite Hijacked a Continent and How we Can Take it Back
Essays on Hegelian Themes
Thomas Fazi is a filmmaker and Anglo-Italian researcher and translator, who has worked as a political consultant for various Italian publishing houses.
What does Marx mean by 'alienation'? What role does the concept play in his critique of capitalism and his vision of a future society? Marx and Alienation deals in depth with some of the most important philosophical assumptions of Marx's work. It sets Marx's account of alienation and its overcoming in the context of the Hegelian philosophy from which it derives, and discusses it in relation to contemporary debates and controversies. It challenges other recent accounts of Marx's theory, and shows that knowledge of Hegel's philosophy is essential for an understanding of central themes in Marx's philosophy. Marx and Alienation explains and discusses Marx's ideas in an original and accessible fashion and makes a major contribution to Marxist philosophy.
Sean Sayers, University of Kent, UK.
The Battle for Europe brings into sharp focus the historical importance of the current Eurozone crisis. Thomas Fazi argues that European Union (EU) elites have seized on the financial crash to push through damaging neoliberal policies, undermining social cohesion and vital public services. Drawing on a wealth of sources, Fazi argues that the EU’s austerity policies are not simply a case of political and ideological short-sightedness, but part of a long-term project by elites to remove the last remnants of the welfare state and complete the neoliberal project. The Battle for Europe showcases a programme for progressive reform and outlines how citizens and workers of Europe can radically overhaul EU institutions.

REVOLUTIONARY LIVES Ellen Wilkinson
Hugo Chavez
From Red Suffragist to Government Minister
Socialist for the 21st Century
Paula Bartley is an independent scholar and former Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Wolverhampton.
When Hugo Chavez died in 2013, millions across the globe mourned whilst the supporters of empire and elite power stood a little taller. But the spirit of Chavez remains in the hearts of all those yearning for a more fair and equal world. In this dramatic, insightful and deeply informed biography, Mike Gonzalez traces Chavez's life from an impoverished rural family to the Miraflores Presidential Palace. The book shows how Chavez's 'Bolivarian revolution' aimed to complete Simon Bolivar's promise of a Latin America free from imperialism. Gonzalez also shows how mass support defeated several attempts to bring Chavez down and how he enraged his enemies by declaring his support for 21st century socialism. The book concludes by looking at how people in Venezuela and beyond can continue the quest for social justice.
Mike Gonzalez, University of Glasgow, UK.
Ellen Wilkinson was a key radical figure in the 20th century British socialist and feminist movement, a women of passionate energy who was involved in most of the major struggles of her time. Born in October 1891 into a working class textile family Wilkinson was involved in women's suffrage, helped found the British Communist Party, led the Labour Party's antifascist campaign, headed the iconic Jarrow Crusade and was the first female Minister of Education. In this lively, engaging biography Paula Bartley charts the political life of this extraordinary campaigner who went from street agitator to government minister whilst keeping her principles intact.

BUSINESS & ECONOMICS The Safe Investor How to Make Your Money Grow in a Volatile Global Economy Timothy F. McCarthy has the unique experience of heading up three of Asia's largest financial services firms, Nikko Asset Management Co., Goodmorning Securities, and Jardine Fleming UT. He has also served as President and COO of The Charles Schwab Corporation and President of the Fidelity Investment Advisor Group. Investing information is everywhere; there are blogs, newspapers, magazines, and cable TV shows all dedicated to helping individuals invest in smarter and more successful ways. Yet despite all the efforts to educate the public on investing, most people still feel uncomfortable with how they should actually invest their money. Recent predictions about slowing economic growth, historically low interest rates, and volatile markets have investors scratching their heads about what to do with their money. And more than ever, people are scared about whether they can grow their money enough to last through their lifetime. Expert investor Timothy McCarthy believes that understanding how to create a truly globally diverse portfolio while applying the magic of time will help all investors navigate risky markets. McCarthy also explores the fundamentals of picking and evaluating financial advisors for those who want to understand the principles of investing but not actually do the work themselves. McCarthy helps guide the reader along a straightforward path to investment success by telling engaging and actual stories to illustrate each of his seven lessons of successful investing. The Safe Investor will help even those readers with little interest or aptitude for finance to be comfortable in knowing what to do to manage their life investment plan and how to manage their own advisors. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137279101 Publish February 2014, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRRP$49.95

As international corporations spread across Asia to establish positions and market share, they frequently ignore organizational and human capital challenges. Their system for leadership selection has allowed for a very small percentage of women in decision-making roles, illustrating how their processes are out of date, carry a Western lens, and are ill-suited for Asian markets. This book provides a vastly different picture than Western-focused leadership literature, highlighting obstacles Asian women face reaching the top, and looking beneath the corporate surface to show cultural and family perspectives. Horan offers a new perspective to help business leaders and human capital professionals understand leadership diversity, build inclusive and engaged organizations, and sustain success.

Frugal innovation is a distinctive, powerful new model for a world struggling with overpopulation, exploding demand among consumers on modest incomes and global pressure to minimise environmental damage. This new wave of innovation started in the developing world and is based on the principles of 'simplify, reuse, share and distribute' and will be markedly different from previous long waves of change. This insightful book looks at the phenomenon of low-cost innovation and explores what we can learn from the entrepreneurs and innovators in developing nations who are making amazing technical and social advances with scarce capital and resources.

Nearly two decades after Rwanda’s horrific genocide, the country has been transformed. In pursuit of the alchemy that made Rwanda such an unlikely success story, the authors interviewed Rwandan government officials, including current president Paul Kagame, as well as business leaders, foreign investors, NGOs and everyday civilians. They look at the key factors that allowed this tiny country to beat the odds - including Rwanda’s effort to encourage private sector development and foster entrepreneurship, and how Kagame’s unique leadership approach led to gains in health, education, and food sustainability. They also explore what the future holds for this resilient nation, and the steps it’s taking to develop the next generation of public servants. This is a timely and fascinating look at what other emerging democracies can learn from Rwanda’s triumph.

John Hicks is acclaimed as one of the most important and influential economists of the twentieth century. This new edition provides an insight into the evolutionary journey of Hicks' ideas and work, and demonstrates how his analysis has helped to extend and transform economic theory. Hicks' ideas on the theory of wages had changed drastically. In 1963, to meet continuing demand, Hicks reissued a new edition that included original articles and a commentary reviewing the chapters from a new standpoint. This comprehensive volume marks Hicks' revolutionary thinking about wages, providing some important developments in economic theory. It includes discussions on the reformulation of marginal productivity theory, the introduction of the elasticity of substitution as an analytical tool, and an examination of wage regulation and unemployment, and the growth of trade union power.
Deal-makers who are stuck on the traditional path define success as concluding a transaction at the cheapest possible acquisition cost. This approach takes only two variables into account: price and quantity. Haggling for the cheapest price is really not negotiation at all, according to Jensen’s way of thinking. He suggests these people are not really aware of the process that can yield a mutually beneficial result, enhancing the value of the take-away for both parties. Haggling for the deepest discount eliminates the magic ingredients that expand the room to negotiate and, consequently, the range of variables the delegates have to work with in order to make the pie bigger. The magic ingredients are trust and cooperation.

Taking readers inside the burlesque houses of Depression-era America, Baggy Pants Comedy explores the role of comedy in a show remembered mostly for strip-tease. It examines how burlesque comics, straightmen, and talking women approached the craft of comedy, working in a genre that relied not on scripts but on a remembered tradition of comedy bits that circulated orally. The book opens a longneglected area of American folklore, presenting transcripts of dozens of fondly-remembered routines like "Who's On First" and "Niagara Falls (Slowly I Turned)," as well as long-forgotten classics in print for the first time.

Celebrity and the Media introduces the reader to the key terms, concepts, dilemmas and issues that are central to the study and critical understanding of celebrity. In this insightful text Redmond explores the impacts of celebrity culture on the modern media and everyday life, drawing attention to the ways in which people experience celebrity culture and how celebrities are able to communicate through spectacle, ritual, the confession and the close-up. Drawing on a diverse range of case studies from the worlds of film, music, television, and sports, and featuring topical, current and popular celebrity examples, the book stands as a pertinent examination of the influence that celebrity has on the way people place themselves in the modern world.

Audrey Wood and the Playwrights
Connected Viewing
Milly S. Barranger, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.
Selling, Streaming, and Sharing Media in the Digital Age
From Tennessee Williams and Carson McCullers to Arthur Kopit and Brian Friel, New Yorkbased literary agent Audrey Wood encouraged and guided the unique talents of playwrights in the Broadway theatre of her day. This book illuminates the gifts and strategies of the tenacious woman at the LieblingWood Agency who melded playwrights with producers, directors, and leading actors to leave an indelible mark on the American theatre and film industry during the mid-twentieth century. Wood's story is told here through her interactions with her clients, now household names, whose works she steered through periods of triumph and failure. Dubbed a "guardian agent," her quiet determination and burning enthusiasm brought America's finest mid-century playwrights to prominence and altered stage history.

Michael Y. Bennett is Assistant Professor of English at the University of WisconsinWhitewater, USA.
The distances that separate East from West are enormous. Yet, since ancient times, the people of Europe and Asia have tried to overcome this remoteness through a network of trade routes known as the Silk Road. Among the ceaseless travellers on the routes of the Silk Road, we find those who earned their living as jugglers, acrobats, musicians, actors and dancers. Through these performers, the ‘fabulous and mysterious Orient' has exerted an ongoing influence on the art of the theatre in Europe and America. A long history of travelling actors moving between East and West has slowly taken shape, and lies at the foundation of our contemporary, professional performative arts. This updated and revised edition traces this history from classical antiquity to the present.

Fifty years after the publication of Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd, which suggests that "absurd" plays purport the meaninglessness of life, Michael Y. Bennett's Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd is a timely reassessment of one of the most important theatre "movements" of the twentieth century. Bennett argues that these "absurd" plays are, instead, ethical texts that suggest how life can be made meaningful. Analyzing the works of five major playwrights/ writers of the 1950s (including three winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature), Bennett's work challenges fifty years of scholarship though his upbeat and hopeful readings.

Grotowski & Company
Stepping Stones
Ludwik Flaszen was co-founder and co-producer of Grotowski's Teatr Laboratorium during the entire period of its existence (1959-84), and director of this theatre in the 1980s.
Ingemar Lindh (1945-97) studied with the founder of Corporeal Mime Étienne Decroux in Paris (1966-68).
This collection of texts by Ludwik Flaszen, Grotowski's main collaborator and co-founder of the Teatr 13 Rzedow (later the Teatr Laboratorium), gathers together key texts, nearly all of which have never before been published in English. These include lectures, papers on issues such as actor training, as well as programme and explanatory texts on all the laboratory's performances. It provides insight into the concepts behind the practice of one of the twentieth-century theatre's leading lights, and will introduce the cultural, literary, and historical dimensions of his work. Historically, it will focus mainly on the production period of Grotowski's work (1956-69), but will also include texts from other phases such as paratheatre (1969-76), as well as more recent pieces, including five written especially for the book.

Stepping Stones is the book of a practitioner. It documents the work of a laboratory-based practice that investigated the principles of collective improvisation as a performance practice. Though the dynamics and mechanisms of collective work and improvisation have been amply researched in training and composition contexts, not so can be said in the context of performance. Ingemar Lindh's research, which announces a resistance to choreography, fixed scores, and directorial montage, has significant implications for the practice and theory of performance in a post-dramatic age. Stepping Stones is, to quote Lindh himself, ‘a book not written but spoken' in the sense that it is a collection of transcripts and writings by and about Lindh.

LITERATURE The Bloomsbury Group Memoir Club S. P. Rosenbaum was Professor Emeritus of English Literature at the University of Toronto, Canada, until his death in 2012 and James M. Haule is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Texas Pan American, USA. As memoirs become increasingly popular, it is somewhat surprising that so little attention has been given to one of the most notable manifestations of memoirs in modern time: the Bloomsbury Group's 'Memoir Club'. Leading Bloomsbury scholar S.P. Rosenbaum collected most of the surviving memoirs by the group, including those by first members Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Roger Fry, J.M. Keynes, Lytton Strachey, E. M. Forster, Vanessa and Clive Bell, Molly and Desmond MacCarthy and Duncan Grant. Using this original archival research, Rosenbaum had written a large part of a history of the Memoir Club before his death in May 2012. Edited by distinguished Woolf scholar James M. Haule, who provides an introduction, an afterword, and an annotated list of memoirs, The Bloomsbury Group Memoir Club offers a perceptive chronicle of the Memoir Club's origins and first years, an important addition to our understanding not just of the work of the Club's participants, but also of twentieth-century autobiography and the history of Bloomsbury more generally. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137360359 Publish February 2014, 216 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRRP$49.95

Volume Five
Angus Phillips, Oxford Brookes University, UK.
Jacqueline M. Labbe, University of Sheffield, UK.
In Turning the Page Angus Phillips analyses the fundamental drivers of the book publishing industry - authorship, readership, and copyright - and examines the effects of digital and other developments on the book itself. Drawing on theory and research across a range of subjects, from business and sociology to neuroscience and psychology, and from interviews with industry professionals, Phillips investigates how the fundamentals of the book industry are changing in a world of ebooks, self-publishing, and emerging business models. Useful comparisons are also made with other media industries which have undergone rapid change, such as music and newspapers.
The Evolution of the Book
Building on the success and popularity of earlier poets, novelists, playwrights, and philosophers, British women consolidated their significance as writers in the second half of the long eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century. They participated in movements like Bluestocking intellectualism, abolition, new understandings of class, religion, and childhood. They initiated literary styles like the novel of sensibility, the elegiac sonnet, and the historical romance. The last 30 years of scholarship and textual recovery have overturned the assumption that women wrote unambitiously and mostly anonymously, concentrating on 'feminine' concerns like the family and the home. Instead, an understanding of the period which sees Dorothy Wordsworth, and Jane Austen as only the more familiar of a host of writers has become standard.
