HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY Archduke Franz Ferdinand Lives! A World Without World War I Richard Ned Lebow, King's College London, UK and James O. Freedman, Dartmouth College, UK. The "Great War" claimed nearly 40 million lives and set the stage for World War II, the Holocaust, and the Cold War. One hundred years later, historians are beginning to recognize how unnecessary it was. In Archduke Franz Ferdinand Lives!, acclaimed political psychologist Richard Ned Lebow examines the chain of events that led to war and what could reasonably have been done differently to avoid it. He constructs plausible worlds, some better, some worse, that might have developed. He illustrates them with "what-if" biographies of politicians, scientists, religious leaders, artists, painters, and writers, sports figures, and celebrities, including scenarios where: there is no Israel; neither John Kennedy nor Barack Obama become president; Curt Flood, not Jackie Robinson, integrates baseball; Satchmo and many Black jazz musicians leave for Europe, where jazz blends with klezmer; nuclear research is internationalized and all major countries sign a treaty outlawing the development of atomic weapons; Britain and Germany are entrapped in a Cold War that threatens to go nuclear; and much more. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137278531 Publish January 2014, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRRP$49.95 From the book: “This fantasy world might have been our world if World War I had not been fought. For reasons I make clear in the book, many aspects of life would be better. Nearly a century of peace among the great powers would have made large military establishments and arms races things of the past, allowing vast sums of money to go to infrastructure, education, health care, urban renewal and foreign aid. The standard of living would be higher and poverty all but non-existent in the developed world, as it is in today’s Scandinavia. Without either World War or the Holocaust, the Jewish population of Europe would be large and thriving, but there will be no Israel.” Quantity
HISTORY
The Great War An Imperial History John H. Morrow Jr., University of Georgia, USA. The Great War is a landmark history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. Set to overturn conventional accounts of what happened during this, the first truly international conflict, it extends the study of the First World War beyond the confines of Europe and the Western Front. By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa. From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political. $45.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415715591 Publish january 2014, 368 pages Routledge NZRRP$55.00
‘Morrow does more than simply point at a map and intone locations and dates…his characters become dramatic and autonomous. We do not simply learn what they did, we understand it…Morrow is the sort of compassionate, original historian who gives you faith in the future.’ - The Observer

The Cathars and Albigensian Crusade brings together a rich and diverse range of medieval sources to examine key aspects of the growth of heresy and dissent in southern France in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the Church's response to that threat through the subsequent authorisation of the Albigensian Crusade. The reader is introduced to themes which are crucial to our understanding of the medieval world: ideologies of crusading and holy war, the complex nature of Catharism, the Church's implementation of diverse strategies to counter heresy, the growth of papal inquisition, southern French counter-strategies of resistance and rebellion, and the uses of Latin and the vernacular to express regional and cultural identity.

The Cistercian Order in Medieval Europe
Machiavelli
1090-1500
Machiavelli is history's most startling political commentator. Recent interpreters have minimised his originality, but this book restores his radicalism. Robert Black shows a clear development in Machiavelli's thought. In his most subversive works: The Prince, the Discourses on Livy, The Ass and Mandragola he rejected the moral and political values inherited by the Renaissance from antiquity and the middle ages. These outrageous compositions were all written in mid-life, when Machiavelli was a political outcast in his native Florence. Later he was reconciled with the Florentine establishment, and as a result his final compositions including his famous Florentine Histories' represent a return to more conventional norms.

The Cistercian Order in Medieval Europe offers an accessible and engaging history of the Order from its beginnings in the twelfth century through to the early sixteenth century. Unlike most other existing volumes on this subject it gives a nuanced analysis of the late medieval Cistercian experience as well as the early years of the Order. Jamroziak argues that the story of the Cistercian Order in the Middle Ages was not one of a ‘Golden Age' followed by decline, nor was the true ‘Cistercian spirit' exclusively embedded in the early texts to remain unchanged for centuries. Instead she shows how the Order functioned and changed over time as an international organisation, held together by a novel 'management system'; from Estonia in the east to Portugal in the west, and from Norway to Italy.

Marjolein ‘t Hart assesses the success of the Dutch in establishing their independence through their eighty years struggle with Spain. This book tells the story of the Eighty Years War and its aftermath, including the three Anglo-Dutch Wars and the Guerre de Hollande (1570-1680); explores the interrelation between war, economy and society, explaining how the Dutch could turn their wars into commercial successes; illustrates how war could trigger and sustain innovations in the field of economy and state formation; the new ways of organization of Dutch military institutions favoured a high degree of commercialized warfare and shows how other state rulers tried to copy the Dutch way of commercialized warfare, in particular in taking up the protection for capital accumulation.
The Ranters - like the Levellers and the Diggers - were a group of religious libertarians who flourished during the English Civil War (16421651), a period of social and religious turmoil which saw, in the words of the historian Christopher Hill, 'the world turned upside down'. A Collection of Ranter Writings is the most notable attempt to anthologise the key Ranter writings, bringing together some of the most remarkable, visionary and unforgettable texts. The subjects range from the limits to pleasure and divine right, to social justice and collective action. The Ranters have intrigued and captivated generations of scholars and philosophers. This carefully curated collection will be of great interest to historians, philosophers and all those trying to understand past radical traditions.

The Medieval Church: A Brief History argues for the pervasiveness of the Church in every aspect of life in medieval Europe. It shows how the institution of the Church attempted to control the lives and behaviour of medieval people, for example, through canon law, while at the same time being influenced by popular movements like the friars and heresy. This fully updated and illustrated second edition offers a new introductory chapter on ‘the Basics of Christianity,'. Lynch and Adamo seek to explain the history of the Church as an institution, and to explore its all-pervasive role in medieval life. The book is now accompanied by a website with textual, visual, and musical primary sources making it a fantastic resource for readers of medieval history.

The Medieval Papacy
Spain 1469-1714
Brett Edward Whalen, University of North Carolina, USA.
Henry Kamen
During the Middle Ages, the popes of Rome claimed both spiritual authority and worldly powers, vying with emperors for supremacy, ruling over the Papal States, and legislating the norms of Christian society. They also faced profound challenges to their proclaimed primacy over Christendom. The Medieval Papacy explores the unique role that the Roman Church and its papal leadership played in the historical development of medieval Europe. Brett Edward Whalen pays special attention to the religious, intellectual and political significance of the papacy from the first century through to the Reformation in the sixteenth century.

Political Islam in the Age of Democratization
The Vikings
Kamran Bokhari, Stratfor, USA and Farid Senzai, Santa Clara University, USA.
The Vikings provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the complex world of the early medieval Scandinavians. This volume explores the society and economy, identity and world-views of the Scandinavian peoples, and their unique religious beliefs that are still of enduring interest a millennium later. The Viking expansion is discussed in detail, including analyses of its origin and consequences for a vast area stretching from the Asian steppe to North America, culminating in the long-term reshaping of Scandinavia itself. Written by one of the leading experts in the period, this book presents students with an unrivalled guide through this widely studied and fascinating subject, revealing the Vikings as a sophisticated civilisation of fundamental importance for the later course of European history.
Neil Price, University of Aberdeen, UK.
As the wave of popular unrest toppled autocratic rulers across the Middle East and North Africa, many in the West watched with growing concern as Islamists came to power. The continued prominence of Islam in the struggle for democracy in the Muslim world has confounded Western democracy theorists who largely consider secularism a prerequisite for democratic transitions. Kamran Bokhari and Farid Senzai offer a comprehensive view of the complex nature of contemporary political Islam and its relationship to democracy. Offering a useful theoretic framework, classification of Islamists, and rich historical context, Political Islam in the Age of Democratization provides a compelling and insightful analysis into Islamism and the role that religion will likely play in any future Muslim democracy.

The Routledge Atlas of the First World War Third Edition
This book takes its leave with the realization that Western-driven culture is quickly reaching the limits of global capitalism, and that this reality manifests itself not only economically and politically, but that it is at once a cultural, aesthetic, political, religious, ecological, and philosophical problem. The book emphasizes three aspects of the current crisis: the ecological crisis, which is often viewed primarily in terms of global warming; the energy crisis, which involves peak oil and the limits of the ability to extract and exploit the cheap energy of fossil fuels; and finally the financial crisis, which involves the de-leveraging and destruction of massive amounts of money and credit. Each of these problems is inter-related, because money is dependent upon energy, and energy is a product of natural physical resources that are finite and diminishing.
From its origins to its terrible legacy, the tortuous course of the Great War is vividly set out in a series of 174 fascinating maps. Together the maps form a comprehensive and compelling picture of the war that shattered Europe, and illustrate its military, social, political and economic aspects. Beginning with the tensions that already existed, the atlas covers the early months of the war: from the fall of Belgium to the fierce fighting at Ypres and Tannenberg; the developing war in Europe: from Gallipoli to the horrors of the Somme and Verdun; life at the front: from living underground, the trench system and the mud of Passchendaele to the war graves; and the aftermath: from war debts and war deaths to the new map of Europe. This third edition contains an entirely new section depicting the visual remembrance of the war; a fascinating visitors’ guide to the memorials that commemorate the tragedy of the Somme.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS The Fair Trade Scandal Marketing Poverty to Benefit the Rich Ndongo Samba Sylla, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. The Fair Trade Scandal takes aim at a consumer movement which many assume to be entirely benign. Through a razor-sharp analysis based on insider knowledge, Ndongo Sylla shows that there is a big gap between the rhetoric of Fair Trade and its practical results. Sylla shows empirically that Fair Trade excludes those who need it the most and that its benefits are essentially captured by the wealthiest groups in the supply chain. Based on his experience of working for Fairtrade International, Sylla shows the flaws in the Fair Trade system which compromise its ethical mission. The Fair Trade Scandal is both a provocative and deeply informative exploration of the Fair Trade phenomenon, suitable for specialists and non-specialists alike. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745334240 Publish January 2014, 208 pages Pluto NZRRP$49.95
“I strongly recommend this book to all those who are unsure of whether Fair Trade deserves to be supported or not. Ndongo Samba Sylla has given the answer to this question by conducting an in-depth survey and a critical reading of the literature on the subject. The result is, to my knowledge, the best book in this field” Samir Amin

Players and Processes, Second Edition
The Discipline of Western Supremacy
Stephen Medvic, Franklin and Marshall College, USA.
Modes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy, Volume III
This book addresses two distinct but related aspects of American electoral democracy-both the processes that constitute campaigns and elections and the players who are involved. It also gives equal billing to both campaigns and elections, and to contests for both legislative and executive positions at the national and state and local level. It starts by providing readers with the conceptual distinctions between what happens in an election and the campaigning that proceeds it. Then the book systematically covers the actors at every levelcandidates and their organizations, parties, interest groups, the media, and voters-and the macro level aspects of campaigns such as campaign strategy and determinants of election outcomes. The book concludes with a big picture assessment of campaign ethics and implications of the "permanent campaign".

In The Discipline of Western Supremacy Kees van der Pijl argues that, from the late European Middle Ages, Anglophone thinkers articulated an imperial world-view which was adopted by aspirant elites elsewhere. Nation-state formation under the auspices of the Englishspeaking West has henceforth informed thinking about international affairs. After decolonisation the study of comparative politics continued to develop under those same auspices as part of a comprehensive international studies. This book, the first of its kind, aims to provide a complete overview of mainstream International Relations as a set of theories which translate Western supremacy into intellectual hegemony.
This book provides an examination of contemporary Anglo-American relations. Anglo-American relations have rarely been so intensely in the media and public spotlight for such a sustained period as they have been since 9/11. Military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, high-profile intelligence failings and questionable practices such as 'extraordinary rendition' have all drawn substantial scrutiny and criticism of AngloAmerican relations. Familiar questions are thus being revisited: the degree of Britain's influence in Washington, the impact of Atlanticism upon Britain's relations with Europe, and the extent to which the special relationship is an unrequited British preoccupation. At the same time, other important developments have been taking place with, overall, ambiguous implications for AngloAmerican relations.

Thousands of women are murdered every year by close relatives for allegedly violating an unwritten social code or rebelling against the patriarchal order. "Honor" killings and other harmful practices such as forced marriage, child marriage, or bride exchange have been recorded for centuries. Under growing pressure from human rights activists, these old traditions have also evolved and adapted to modern circumstances. The book examines honor-based violence, its roots and its evolution, as well as the ongoing struggle to eradicate it in Turkey, Pakistan and other countries, including Western European nations.

The Struggle for the New Arab State
The Moral Crusaders
Postcolonialism, Privatisation and Political Change
Jonathan J. Makuwira, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Australia.
Samer N. Abboud, Arcadia University, Glenside, USA.
This book offers a highly stimulating and concise summary of the Non-Governmental Development Organisations (NGDO) sector by examining their history and metamorphosis; their influence on the social, political and economic landscapes of the ‘Northern' and ‘Southern' governments and societies. The author analyses competing theoretical and conceptual debates not only regarding their contribution to the global social political dynamism but also on the sector's changing external influence as they try and mitigate poverty in marginalized communities. This book offers a critical analysis of grassroots organizations - those NGDOs founded and established by locals and operate at the deepest end of the development contexts.
The Struggle for the New Arab State shows how the wave of revolt which has shaken the Arab world since 2011 has its roots in the replacement of the postcolonial development model with neoliberalism. Samer N. Abboud tracks the implementation and impact of neoliberal policies in the Arab World, and how they created the social dislocation which triggered the uprisings. Abboud provides a sophisticated analysis of the differing experiences across the region, looking at the interplay of domestic forces, regional trends and global pressures. What emerges is a deep understanding of how previous models of power have been disrupted and created the conditions for new political and economic possibilities.

Politics to the Extreme
Subalternity, Antagonism, Autonomy
American Political Institutions in the 21st Century
Constructing the Political Subject
Scott A. Frisch and Sean Q Kelly, both at California State University Channel Islands, USA.
Massimo Modones, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico.
The United States currently faces challenges of historic proportions: The deepest recession since the Great Depression, an international economy teetering toward a partial collapse, two wars, and structural deficits to name just a few. In the 95th Senate conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans overlapped in the center of the political spectrum. A decade later the degree of ideological overlap was minimal; and in the 109th Congress had all but disappeared. The result is the almost complete gridlock the country has experienced over the last decade. In this book, leading scholars and experts address the causes and consequences of polarization in American politics, and suggest solutions for bridging the partisan divide.
In this bold and innovative book, Massimo Modonesi weaves together theory and political practice by relating the concepts of subalternity, antagonism and autonomy to contemporary movements in Latin America and elsewhere. In a sophisticated account, Modonesi reconstructs the debates between Marxist authors and schools of thought in order to sketch out informed strategies of resistance. He reviews the works of Gramsci, Negri, Castoriadis and Lefort, and engages with the arguments made by E. P. Thompson, Spivak, Laclau and Mouffe. Subalternity, Antagonism, Autonomy firmly roots key theoretical arguments from a range of critical thinkers within specific political movements in order to recover these concepts as analytical instruments which can help to guide contemporary struggles.

State, Religion, and Revolution in Iran, 1796 to the Present

Victims and ex-combatants Chandra Lekha Sriram, University of London, UK; Jemima Garcia-Godos, University of Oslo, Norway; Olga Martin-Ortega and Johanna Herman, both at University of East London, UK.
Two basic assumptions have shaped our understanding of recent Iranian history. One is that Shi'ism is an integral part of Iran's religious and cultural landscape. The other is that the ulama (religious scholars) have always played a crucial role. This book challenges these assumptions and constructs a new synthesis of the history of state and religion since 1796 to the present while engaging our theoretical understanding of large-scale political transformations. Arguing that the 1979 revolution has not ended, Behrooz Moazami relates political and religious transformations in Iran to the larger instability of the region and concludes that turmoil will continue until a new regional configuration evolves.

This book seeks to refine our understanding of transitional justice and peacebuilding, and long-term security and reintegration challenges after violent conflicts. This volume examines the complex, often contradictory but sometimes complementary relationship between peacebuilding and transitional justice through the lenses of the increased emphasis on victim-centred approaches to justice and the widespread practices of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of excombatants.

Being Muslim in America
Egypt's Road to Revolt
Ranya Tabari Idilby.
Hazem Kandil is a Lecturer in Sociology and St. Catharine's College Fellow at Cambridge University.
This is the story of one American Muslim family - the story of how, through their lives, their schools, their friends, and neighbours, they end up living the challenges, the myths, fears, hopes, and dreams of all Americans. In this moving memoir, Idliby discusses not only coming to terms with what it means to be Muslim today, but how to raise and teach her children about their heritage and religious legacy. She explores life as a Muslim in a world where hostility towards Muslims runs rampant, where there is an entire industry financed and supported by think tanks, authors, film-makers, and individual vigilantes whose sole purpose is to vilify and spread fear about all things Muslim. Her story is quintessentially American, a story of the struggles of assimilation and acceptance in a climate of confusion and prejudice - a story for anyone who has experienced being an 'outsider' inside your own home country.

Hazem Kandil presents the Egyptian revolution and its aftermath as the latest episodes in the ongoing power struggle between the three components of Egypt's authoritarian regime: the military, the security services and the political apparatus. A detailed study of the interactions within this invidious triangle over six decades of war, conspiracy and sociopolitical transformation, Soldiers, Spies, and Statesmen is the first systematic analysis of how Egypt metamorphosed from a military into a police state-and what that means for the future of its revolution. The paperback includes an afterword that examines the 2013 overthrough of Morsi and the present state of politics and society in Egypt.

On August 28, 1963 hundreds of thousands of demonstrators flocked to the nation's capital for the March on Washington. That day Clayborne Carson, a nineteen year old black student from a working-class family in New Mexico who had hitched a ride to Washington, heard Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. deliver his famous 'I Have a Dream' spreach. It was a life-changing occasion for the author.

Taking the reader on a journey of rediscovery of the King legend, he draws on new archives as well as unpublished letters. Dr. Carson examines his decades long quest to understand Martin Luther King Jr. the man, delve into the construction of his legacy, and to understand how King's 'dream' has evolved.

Adventures in a Disappearing Land
Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths
James B. McClintock, University of Alabama, USA.
Nancy Marie Brown.
Few of us will every get to Antartica. The bitter cold and three months a year without sunlight makes the sixth continent virtually uninhabitable for humans. Yet James B. McClintock has spent three decades studying the frozen land in order to understand better the world that lies beneath it. In this luminous and closely observed account, one of the world’s leading experts on Antartica introduces the reader to this fascinating world. Now, as temperatures rise, the fragile ecosystem is under attack. Adelie penguins that have successfully nested on Antartic islands for several hundred years have been nearly wiped out. King crabs that used to populate the deep seafloor are moving into shallower waters, disturbing the set order of life there. Lost Antartica is an appeal to understand and appreciate the wondrous place at the botom of the world that we are on the brink of losing.

This book brings to life Snorri Sturluson, wealthy chieftain, wily politicians, witty storyteller, and the sole source of Viking lore for all of Western literature. Tales of oneeyed Odin, Thor and his mighty hammer, the trickster Loki, and the beautiful Valkyries have inspired countless writers, poets and dreamers through the centuries and the author brings alive the medieval Icelanding world where it all began. She paints a vivid picture of the Icelanding landscape, with its colossal glaciers and volcanoes, steaming hot springs and moonscapes of ash, ice and rock that inspired Snorri’s words, and led him to create unforgettable characters and tales. Drawing on her deep knowledge of Iceland and its history and first-hand reading of the original medieval sources, Brown gives us a richly textured narrative, revealing a spellbinding world that continues to fascinate.

PALGRAVE FAVOURITES The Peculiar Case of the Electric Constable
Taking Down the Lion The Thriumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski
A True Tale of Passion, Poison and Pursuit
When Quaker forger John Tawell disembarked in Sydney in 1815, none could have imagined that he would become the most historically ‘influential’—albeit unwittingly—of Australia’s 160,000 convict transportees. He became a rich convict nabob like his colleague Samuel Terry, however unlike Terry he eventually decided to take his fortune home to England. Shunned by the Quakers and ridiculed by the broader community, he was a deeply troubled man when he caught the 7.42pm train from Slough station near Windsor Castle on New Years’ Day 1845, leaving a dying woman sprawled on a nearby cottage floor. Between Slough and London’s Paddington railway station ran the only electric telegraph operation in the entire world that was capable of sending a random message at a moment’s notice. ‘A murder has just been committed,’ began the message that pursued Tawell. Tawell’s trial was a sensation, the struggling electric telegraph industry became a phenomenal success, the electricity industry was launched, and the Communication Revolution began. Quantity

This book is a compelling inside look at the controversial CEO best known for his $6,000 shower curtain-who when at the pinnacle of success was taken down in a very public legal drama that played out twice in a New York City courtroom. As the widely-admired CEO of Tyco International, Dennis Kozlowski grew a littleknown New Hampshire conglomerate into a global giant. In an unfiltered view of corporate America, Catherine Neal pulls back the curtain to reveal a world of big business, ambition, money, and an epidemic of questionable ethics that infected not only business dealings but extended to attorneys, journalists, politicians, and the criminal justice system. When the ugly truth is told, it's clear the "good guys" were not all good and the "bad guys" not all bad. And there were absolutely no heroes. Quantity

Counterfire
Combining industry insider interviews with a fascinating historical narrative, Stitched Up delves into the alluring world of fashion to reveal what is behind the clothes we wear. Moving between Karl Largerfeld and Karl Marx, Stitched Up explores consumerism, class and advertising to reveal the interests which benefit from exploitation. Tansy E. Hoskins dissects fashion’s vampiric relationship with the planet and with our bodies to uncover what makes it so damaging. Why does ‘size zero’ exist and what is the reality of working life for models? In a critique of the portrayal of race in fashion, Stitched Up also examines the global balance of power in the industry. In a compelling conclusion Stitched Up explores the use of clothing to resist. Can you shock an industry that loves to shock? Is ‘green fashion’ an alternative? Stitched Up provides a unique critical examination of contemporary culture and the distorting priorities of capitalism. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745334561 Publish January 2014, 216 pages Pluto NZRRP$39.95

Changing Concepts of Contract
The Limits of Sexual Politics
Essays in Honour of Ian Macneil
James Penney, Trent University, Canada.
David Campbell, University of Leeds, UK; Linda Mulcahy, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK; and Sally Wheeler, Queen's University Belfast, UK.
After Queer Theory makes the provocative claim that queer theory has run its course, made obsolete by the elaboration of its own logic within capitalism. James Penney argues that far from signalling the end of anti-homophobic criticism, however, the end of queer presents the occasion to rethink the relation between sexuality and politics. Through a critical return to Marxism and psychoanalysis (Freud and Lacan), Penney insists that the way to implant sexuality in the field of political antagonism is paradoxically to abandon the exhausted premise of a politicised sexuality. After Queer Theory argues that it is necessary to wrest sexuality from the dead end of identity politics, opening it up to a universal emancipatory struggle beyond the reach of capitalism's powers of commodification.

The Basics
Cult Collectors examines cultures of consumption and the fans who collect cult film and TV merchandise. The author argues that there has been a change in the fan convention space, where collectible merchandise and toys, rather than just the fictional text, have become objects for trade, nostalgia, and a focal point for fans' personal narratives. New technologies also add to this changing identity of cult fandom whereby popular websites such as eBay and ThinkGeek become cyber sites of memory and profit for cult fan communities. The book opens with an analysis of the problematic representations of fans and fandom in film and television. Following this, theoretical chapters consider issues of gender, representation, nostalgia and the influence of social media. Finally, extended case study chapters examine in detail the connections between the fan community and the commodities bought and sold.

Fashion Cultures Revisited
The History of the Kiss
Theories, Explorations and Analysis, Second Edition
The Birth of Popular Culture
Stella Bruzzi, University of Warwick, UK and Pamela Church Gibson, University of the Arts London, UK.
What's more romantic than two people embracing, looking into each other's eyes, and then kissing each other? How and when did it become a vital sign of romance and love? When the kiss first started to appear in narratives, poetry, and the songs of the medieval period, it was as something desirable, yet forbidden. Since then it has evolved into a symbol of love-making in the popular imagination. In this provocative book, pop culture expert Marcel Danesi explores how the kiss emerged as an act of betrayal and raw sensuality, in defiance of its spiritual and religious functions, and from there evolved into the amorous cultural gesture we know today. He takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the history of the kiss, from early poems and paintings to current movies and popular songs, and argues that its romantic incarnation signaled the birth of popular culture.
Marcel Danesi, University of Toronto, Canada.
Following on from the ground-breaking collection Fashion Cultures, this second anthology, Fashion Cultures Revisited, contains 26 newly commissioned chapters exploring fashion culture from the start of the new millennium to the present day. The book is divided into six parts, each discussing different aspects of fashion culture shopping, spaces and globalisation, changing imagery, changing media, altered landscapes, new modes of production, icons and their legacies, contestation, compliance, feminisms, and making masculinities. Fashion Cultures Revisited explores every facet of contemporary fashion culture and the associated spheres of photography, magazines and television, and shopping.

This book provides a critical assessment of the contemporary global food system in light of the heightening food crisis, as evidence of its failure to achieve food security for the world's population. The first section presents the context of the food crisis with contributions from leading international academics and food policy activists, including climate scientists, ecologists and social scientists. Set within this context, the second section assesses current conditions in the global food system, including economic viability, sustainability and productivity. Case study analyses of regions exposed to neoliberal policy at the production end of the system provide insights into both current challenges to feeding the world, as well as alternative strategies for creating a more just and moral food system.

America today is a hypersexual society. Sexual discourse, erotica, and pornography are pervasive in the culture. Sexual materials, many times extending into erotica and pornography, are found in the consumer world, academia, sex therapy, the publishing world, mass media (especially radio, television and movies) and the Internet. The sexual materials found in all these areas of American society provoke relentless opposition by groups and individuals who want to repress or censor sexual materials. The combined effects of those who promote and produce sexual materials, and those who try to suppress them, add up to a cacophony of sexual discourse.

Iconic Power is a collection of original articles that explores social aspects of the phenomenon of icon. Having experienced the benefits and realized the limitations of so called "linguistic turn," sociology has recently acknowledged a need to further expand its horizons. "Visual sociology" is emerging as a separate field and prominent scholars announce the coming of "the pictorial turn." The methods and themes taken up in these studies respond to this shift in social scientific interest. Each contribution to this book carefully tests the analytic purchase and empirical implications of iconicity. If we can succeed in understanding the iconic, we should be able to know our culture much better.

Electronic art offers endless opportunities for reflection and interpretation. This book approaches electronic art through the teachings of Jacques Lacan, whose return to Freud has exerted a powerful and wide-ranging influence on psychoanalysis and critical theory in the twentieth century. This book brings together New Media works of art and Lacanian psychoanalysis. David Schwarz draws on his experience with Lacanian psychoanalysis, music, interactive and traditional arts in order to address aspects of the works the viewer may find difficult to understand. Dividing his approach over four thematic chapters - Bodies, Voices, Eyes and Signifiers - Schwarz explores the links between works of New Media and psychoanalysis (how we process what we see, hear, touch, imagine, and remember).

The American Revolution continues to live on in the public's memory, celebrated each year on July 4 with fireworks and other patriotic displays. But to identify as an American is to connect to a larger national narrative, one that begins in Revolution. Janice Hume examines the ways that generations of Americans have remembered and embraced the Revolution through magazines, newspapers, and digital media. This book demonstrates how the story and characters of the Revolution have been adjusted, adapted, and co-opted by popular media over the years, fostering a cultural identity whose founding narrative was sculpted, ultimately, in Revolution. Examining press and popular media coverage of the war, Hume provides insights into the way that journalism can and has shaped a culture's evolving, collective memory of its past. Quantity

While all companies strive to create innovative and aggresive campaigns to make gains in the market, the smart companies - the ones that thrive - make sure to create a defense strategy that is just as strong, if not stronger, to maintain the ground when push comes to shove. Indeed, a good defense is far more important than a good offense. If you fail defending your business, you can lose everything. Here Calkins shows business leaders how to create and maintain a defensive strategy using real life examples from major global companies including how to understand and get competitive intelligence, how to determine if your brand or company is at risk, how to create a defensive strategy, limiting risk and preventing a trial, and understanding your own IP as a weapon.

The Wall Street meltdown in 2008 brought the country to its knees, and spawned nationwide protests against the lack of regulation and oversight facing Wall Street. Doyle has been tracking this story for years through his blog Sense on Cents, and exposes here how Wall Street, our politicians, and the regulators themselves have conspired for personal and industry-wide gains while failing to protect investors, consumers, and the American taxpayer. He details the corrupt nature of Wall Street's financial police and exposes the revolving door of Wall Street, wherein the regulators are all former or future employees of the very firms they're tasked with overseeing, and how they routinely serve the interests of the industry itself rather than protecting investors and markets.

Leveraging the fresh insights of behavioral economics, Portnoy demystifies the opaque world of elite hedge funds, addresses the limits of mass market mutual funds, and discards the false dichotomy between "traditional" and "alternative" investments. He also explores why hedge funds have recently become such a controversial and disruptive force. Turns out it's not the splashy headlines - spectacular trades, newly minted billionaires, aggressive tactics but something much more fundamental. The stratospheric rise to prominence and availability of alternative strategies represents a further explosion in the size and complexity of the choice set in a market already saturated with products.

Why have the efforts of governments and central banks to revive economic growth and solve the problems left by the global financial crisis met with such limited success? This book argues that governments have been using the wrong policy weapons. They have relied on the traditional tools of low interest rates and monetary ease, plus tighter bank regulation and new macro-prudential toolkits. The Money Trap discusses how governments have failed to understand the roots of the rolling crisis and recession of 2007-12 and argues that these roots lie in the interaction of an elastic credit supply, dysfunctional banking systems and an unreformed international monetary system.
Henryk Jurkowski's seminal 1988 text, Aspects of Puppet Theatre, was groundbreaking in its analysis of puppetry as a performing art. This new edition of a classic brings the original text back to life, including four additional essays and a new introduction, edited and translated by leading puppetry scholar Penny Francis. $44.95 Pb ISBN 9781137338433 Publish January 2014 192 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRRP$54.95

The biographical film or biopic is a staple of film production in all major film industries and yet, within film studies, its generic, aesthetic, and cultural significance has remained underexplored. The Biopic in Contemporary Film Culture fills this gap, conceptualizing the biopic with a particular eye toward the "life" of the genre internationally. New theoretical approaches combine with specially commissioned chapters on contemporary biographical film production in India, Italy, South Korea, France, Russia, Great Britain, and the US, in order to present a selective but well-rounded portrait of the biopic's place in film culture. The pieces in this volume critically examine the place of the biopic within ongoing debates about how cinema can and should represent history and "real lives."
Buddhism Goes to the Movies
The Stock Price Story
Introduction to Buddhist Thought and Practice
Ian Westbrook, Westbrook Financial Communications, Australia.
Ronald S. Green, Coastal Carolina University, USA.
In today's aggressive marketplace, listed companies can no longer rely on their numbers to do the talking. If companies can't communicate their achievements and strategy, mounting research evidence suggests, they will be overlooked, their cost of capital will increase and share price will suffer. In Strategic Financial and Investor Communication: The Stock Price Story Ian Westbrook, principal of Australia's leading independent financial communications firm, argues just this: share price is more a story than a number. Moreover, the book will teach you how to tell your own story by guiding you through the fast-paced world of financial corporate communications with a professional's pragmatism as well as academic rigour.
The author explains the basics of Buddhist philosophy and practice through a number of dramatic films from around the world. This book introduces readers in a dynamic way to the major traditions of Buddhism: the Theravada, and various interrelated Mahayana divisions including Zen, Pure Land and Tantric Buddhism. Readers can use Ronald Green's book to gain insights into classic Buddhist themes, including Buddhist awakening, the importance of the theory of dependent origination, the notion of no-self, and Buddhist ideas about life, death and why we are here. Contemporary developments are also explored, including the Socially Engaged Buddhism demonstrated by such figures as the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Aung San Suu Kyi, and other Buddhist activists.

Every one of the largest, most successful corporations were, at some point, mere startups. McKee explains what enables some companies to grow bigger and better, while others stumble along year after year, running but never winning the race. McKee shows by example how the same, sometimes counter-intuitive, strategies used by the biggest brands can also best serve small and mid-sized companies. A diverse selection of companies provides powerful lessons, ranging from traditional icons like Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and General Motors, to new media models like Google and Facebook. This book appeals not only to time-starved executives, but also to middle managers and owners of small businesses who have a wide variety of marketing problems to address and who need to change the way they think about how to generate healthy, consistent growth.

What does it mean to be a man in today's society? Here, Kord and Krimmer investigate the most common male archetypes - cops, killers, fathers, cowboys, superheroes, spies, soldiers, rogues, lovers, and losers - by tracing changing concepts of masculinity in popular Hollywood blockbusters. Focusing on films from 1992 to 2008 (the Clinton and Bush eras), they examine these roles against a backdrop of contemporary political events, social developments, and popular American myths. Their in-depth analysis of over sixty films, from The Matrix and Iron Man to Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, shows that movies, far from being mere entertainment, respond directly to today's social and political realities, from consumerism to "family values" to the War on Terror.

Clouds above the Hill
A Historical Novel of the Russo-Japanese War, Volume 3
A Historical Novel of the Russo-Japanese War, Volume 1
Shiba Ryotaro (1923-1996) is one of Japan’s best-known writers.
Shiba Ryotaro Volume I describes the growth of Japan’s fledgling Meiji state, a major “character” in the novel. We are also introduced to our three heroes, born into obscurity, the brothers Akiyama Yoshifuru and Akiyama Saneyuki, who will go on to play important roles in the Japanese Army and Navy, and the poet Masaoka Shiki, who will spend much of his short life trying to establish the haiku as a respected poetic form.
Clouds above the Hill, a long-time best-selling novel in Japan, is now translated into English for the first time. An epic portrait of Japan in crisis, it combines graphic military history and highly readable fiction to depict an aspiring nation modernizing at breakneck speed. Volume three finds Admiral Togo continuing his blockade of Port Arthur. Meanwhile, a Japanese land offensive gains control of the high ground overlooking the bay as the Russians at last call for a ceasefire. However, on the banks of the Shaho River, the Japanese lines are stretched, but the Russian General Kuropatkin makes a decision to flank the troops to the left and in doing so encounters Akiyama Yoshifuru's cavalry. .

Shiba Ryotaro (1923-1996) is one of Japan’s best-known writers.
Shiba Ryotaro. In Volume II, Meiji Japan is on a collision course with Russia, as Russian troops stationed in Manchuria ignore repeated calls to withdraw. Admiral Togo leads a blockade and subsequent skirmish at the strategically vital and heavily fortified Port Arthur, whilst Yoshifuru’s cavalry in Manchuria maneuvers for position as it approaches the Russian Army lines. The two armies clash at the battle of Liaoyang, where Japan seals a victory which shocks the world.
Volume IV begins with the dramatic battle of Mukden where Akiyama Yoshifuru’s cavalry play a major part in the action against the Cossacks. Meanwhile, Admiral Togo’s fleet sail to the Tsushima strait to intercept the Baltic Fleet en route to Vladivostok. With the help of Akiyama Saneyuki’s strategies, the Baltic Fleet is totally destroyed and the Japanese fleet make a triumphant return to Yokohama. Anyone curious as to how the “tiny, rising nation of Japan” was able to fight so fiercely for its survival should look no further. Clouds above the Hill is an exciting, human portrait of a modernizing nation that goes to war and thereby stakes its very existence on a desperate bid for glory in East Asia.

Mikhail Bakhtin
Tragedy
Alastair Renfrew is a Reader and Head of the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at Durham University.
Martin Regal, University of Iceland, Iceland.
Mikhail Bakhtin is one of the 20th century's most influential literary theorists. This student-friendly volume starts this with the question "Who Was Bakhtin?" and leads on to cover topics including Authorship, Language, Dialogism, The Novel and the Carnivalesque. Since the post-perestroika opening of archives vast quantities of documentation have transformed and re-energised Bakhtin scholarship and it is crucial to be aware that the convenient label ‘Bakhtin' does not signify a clearly defined body of work by a single author, an agreed set of ideas interpreted the same way by all Western critics or even a person we know very much about.

Stephen Purcell, University of Warwick, UK. What do audiences do as they watch a Shakespearean play? What makes them respond in the ways that they do? This book examines a wide range of theatrical productions to explore the practice of being a modern Shakespearean audience. It surveys some of the most influential ideas about spectatorship in contemporary performance studies, and analyses the strategies employed both in the texts themselves and by modern theatre practitioners to position audiences in particular ways.

Tragedy is one of the oldest and most resilient forms of cultural narrative. Debated from Aristotle to the present day, tragedy has never lost it central place in aesthetic discourse and has been re-imagined and redefined to suit to tastes of succeeding generations. In this volume Martin Regal considers problems of definition across historical and cultural lines, the enduring influence of Aristotle's Poetics and post-Aristotelian attempts at definition, from the lexicographers to individual modern theorists, issues of genre, subgenre and medium, considering the place of drama but also other cultural forms such as the visual arts, religious, philosophical and secular view on the tragic, the politicization of tragedy, and tragedy and modern culture.
British-Jewish writers are increasingly addressing challenging questions about what it means to be both British and Jewish in the twenty-first century. Writing Jewish provides a lively and accessible introduction to the key issues in contemporary British-Jewish fiction, memoirs and journalism, and explores how Jewishness exists alongside a range of other different identities in Britain today. By interrogating myths and stereotypes and looking at themes of remembering and forgetting, belonging and alienation, location and dislocation, Ruth Gilbert examines how these writers identify the particularity of their difference - while acknowledging that this difference is neither fixed nor final, but always open to re-interpretation.

Edited by Julie Coleman, University of Leicester, UK.
What makes Shakespeare's late plays so special? Through detailed analyses of key passages, Kate Aughterson shows how these plays portray a world of political intrigue, familial chaos and crisis, which teeters continually into tragedy: a world we can recognise today. Part I of this engaging study provides stimulating close readings of extracts from The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline and Pericles; examines major topics such as openings, endings, familial roles, stage properties, spectacle and song; offers suggestions for further work and summarizes the methods of analysis. Part II supplies essential background material, including detailed accounts of Shakespeare's literary and historical contexts; and samples from important critical works and performances.

Global English Slang brings together twenty key international experts and provides a timely and essential overview of English slang around the world today. The book illustrates the application of a range of different methodologies to the study of slang and demonstrates the interconnection between the different sub-fields of linguistics. A key argument throughout is that slang is a function played by specific words or phrases rather than a characteristic inherent in the words themselves- what is slang in one context is not slang in another. The volume also challenges received wisdom on the nature of slang: that it is short-lived and that slang is restricted to verbal language.

The two parts of the Grammar are closely linked by extensive cross-references, providing a grammatical and functional perspective on many patterns. All grammar points and functions are richly illustrated with examples, with a strong focus on contemporary usage.

Modern Mandarin Chinese Grammar Workbook
The New Psychology of Money
Second Edition
The New Psychology of Money is an accessible and engrossing analysis of our psychological relationship to money in all its forms. Comprehensive and insightful, Adrian Furnham explores the role that money plays in a range of contexts, from the family to the high street, and asks whether the relationship is always a healthy one. Discussing how money influences what we think, what we say, and how we behave in a range of situations, the book places the dynamics of high finance and credit card culture in context with traditional attitudes towards wealth across a range of cultures, as well as how the concept of money has developed historically. The New Psychology of Money is a timely and fascinating book on the psychological impact of an aspect of daily life we generally take for granted.

For Christopher Day, architecture isn't just about the appearance of buildings but how they're experienced as places to be in. This major revision of his classic text builds on more than forty years of experience ecological design across a range of climates, cultures and budgets, and 25 years hands-on building. Treating buildings as environments intrinsic to their surroundings, the book explores consensus design, economic and social sustainability, and how a listening approach can grow architectural ideas organically from the interacting, sometimes conflicting, requirements of place, people and situation. This third edition, comprehensively revised to incorporate new knowledge and address new issues, continues Day's departure from orthodox contemporary architecture, offering eye-opening insights and practical design applications.

Australia in a Hot World Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World outlines the expected consequences of this world for Australia and its region. Its contributors include many of Australia’s most eminent and internationally recognized climate scientists, climate policy makers and policy analysts. They provide an accessible, detailed, dramatic, and disturbing examination of the likely impacts of a Four Degree World on Australia’s social, economic and ecological systems. The book offers policy makers, politicians, students, and anyone interested climate change, access to the most recent research on potential Australian impacts of global warming, and possible responses.
Food Policy and the Environmental Credit Crunch: From Soup to Nuts elaborates on the issues addressed in the authors’ first book, From Red to Green?,and asks whether the financial credit crunch could ameliorate or exacerbate the emergent environmental credit crunch. The conclusion drawn here is that a significant and positive difference could be made by changing some of the ways in which we procure, prepare, and consume our food. Written by an economist and an investment professional, this book addresses the economic and environmental implications of how we treat food. The book examines each aspect of the ‘food chain’, from agriculture, to production and processing, retail, preparation, consumption and waste.

This is a broad survey of the history of the British Empire from its beginnings to its demise. It offers a comprehensive analysis not just of political events and territorial conquests but paints a picture of what life was like under colonial rule, both for those who ruled and for those whose countries came under British authority. There has been a lively debate in recent years about whether empires generally are good or bad things, and the British Empire has been very much at the centre of that debate, with a number of voices arguing that it was a kinder, gentler Empire than its rivals. This book speaks specifically to that debate, and also to a second and equally vigorous debate about whether anyone in Britain actually cared about the possession of an Empire.

Shakespeare’s English: A Practical Linguistic Guide provides students with a solid grounding for understanding the language of Shakespeare and its place within the development of English. With a prime focus on Shakespeare and his works, Keith Johnson covers all aspects of his language (vocabulary, grammar, sounds, rhetorical structure etc.), and gives illuminating background information on the linguistic context of the Elizabethan Age. As well as providing a unique introduction to the subject, Johnson encourages a “hands-on” approach, guiding students, through the use of activities, towards an understanding of how Shakespeare’s English works.
