Trade terms apply to the following trade titles The 7 Laws of Magical Thinking

On the Origin of Teepees

How Irrationality Makes Us Happy, Healthy, and Sane

Why Some Ideas Spread While Others Go Extinct

Matthew Hutson is former News Editor at Psychology Today. He has written for a range of magazines, including Wired, Discover, and the New York Times Magazine.

Jonnie Hughes is a filmmaker in the BBC Natural History Unit and Head of Development for BBC Earth. His documentaries have been shown on the BBC, Discovery, and National Geographic Channel. He studied ecology and evolution at the University of Leeds, UK.

Drawing on evolution, cognitive science, and neuroscience, Matthew Hutson takes us on this fascinating tour of magical thinking in everyday life. So-called cognitive biases are crucial to our survival, Hutson shows, whether we're deciding where to invest our money or avoiding awareness of our own mortality. Everyone - even the most rational, jaded, and sceptical thinkers - believe in magic, whether that be luck, mind over matter, jinxes, evil, or heavenly helpers.

The key to happiness, health, creativity, social intelligence, and good fortune is knowing when you don't have free will and then embracing magical thinking instead. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689347, NZRP$34.95 Publish July 2012, 304 pages Oneworld Publications Popular Psychology

Crisis in the Eurozone

A People's History of the Second World War

Costas Lapavitsas

Resistance Versus Empire

Building on his work as a leading member of the renowned Research on Money and Finance group, Costas Lapavitsas presents a searing critique of the neoliberal nature of the Eurozone and ruthlessly dissects the roots of the current financial turmoil and the European debt crisis. Lapavitsas argues that European austerity is contradictory because it leads to recession, and worsens the burden of debt, further imperilling banks and the monetary union itself.

Controversially, Lapavitsas suggests that impoverished states would be wise to quit the Euro and pursue debtor-led, sovereign and democratic default that would lead to deep cancellation of debt. Lapavitsas envisages a restructuring relying on the forces of organized labor and civil society, drawing on the theoretical tradition of political economy and heterodox economics, and treading a careful path between declining Europeanism and nascent nationalism. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844679690, NZRP34.95 Publish July 2012, 224 pages Verso Available Now!

Donny Gluckstein is a lecturer in history at Stevenson College, Edinburgh. He is the author of several books on Marxist history.

People's History of the Second World War unearths the fascinating history of the war as fought 'from below'. Until now, the vast majority of historical accounts have focussed on the conflict between the Allied and Axis powers for imperialist mastery. Donny Gluckstein shows that in fact between 1939 and 1945 two distinct wars were fought - one ‘from above' and one ‘from below'. Using examples from countries under the Nazi heel, in the colonies and within the Axis and Allied camps, Gluckstein brings to life the very different struggle of the people's and resistance movements which proliferated during the war. He shows how they fought not just fascism, but colonialism and empire, and were betrayed by the Allies at the end war's end. This book will fundamentally challenge our understanding of the Second World War - both about the people who fought it and the reasons for which it was fought. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745328027, NZRP$54.95 Publish July 2012, 256 pages Pluto History/WWII

Che Guevara and leading Marxist economists discuss political economy and the challenges of the revolutionary transformation of a capitalist society.

This 'great debate', as it became known, related not only to Cuba's immediate economic problems following the 1959 revolution but also to the key concepts of Marxist theory and to the profound meaning of socialism itself. Several Cuban ministers and economists also participated in the written debate that spread across several Cuban journals over the course of two years (1963-64). $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9780980429206, NZRP$39.95 Publish July 2012, 350 pages Ocean Press History Quantity

Chaplains at War

Indian Buddhist Philosophy

The Role of Clergymen during World War II

Amber Carpenter, University of York, UK.

Alan Robinson, Chester University College, UK.

This book presents the philosophical arguments of the great Indian Buddhist philosophers of the fifth century BCE to the eighth century CE. Each chapter examines their core ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological views as well as the distinctive area of Buddhist ethics that we call today moral psychology. The book follows three key themes: the idea of anatman or no-self, the appearance/ reality distinction and the moral aim, or ideal.

Indian Buddhism is shown to be a way of looking at the world that shares many of the features of European philosophy and considers themes central to philosophy understood in the European tradition. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844652983, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2012, 256 pages Acumen Publishing Ancient Philosophies

British army chaplains were shaped by these powerful sentiments and in turn shaped and interpreted them to understand their own roles and to provide a message and minitry to soldiers and officers. Focusing on World War II, Chaplains at War reveals how the army, the government and the churches responded to the challenges of war, leading to innovation that was unknown in peace time such as the appointing women as Chaplains' Assistants. Alan Robinson uses interviews with former chaplains, officers, and soldiers and extensive archive research in military, government and church archives to draw together personal experience and official policy. $49.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780760407, NZRP$69.95 Publish July 2012, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History

Death

Islamophobia

Antiquity and Its Legacy

and the Politics of Empire

Mario Erasmo, University of Georgia, USA.

Deepa Kumar is the author for Outside of the Box: Corporate Media, Globalization, and the UPS Strike.

Different societies address death and the act of dying in culturally diverse ways; yet we can recognize in the customs of ancient Greece and Rome ceremonies and rituals that have enduring present-day resonance. Yet of late there has been a shift away from classical ritual and sombre memorialization as the dead are transformed into spectacles. Ad hoc roadside shrines, 'virtual' burials, online guest-books and even jazz memorial processions and firework displays have come to the fore as new modes of marking, even celebrating, bereavement. What is causing this change, and how do urbanisation, economic factors and the rise of individualism play a part? $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848855571, NZRP$34.95 Publish July 2012, 192 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Culture

In response to the events of 9/11, the Bush administration launched a "war on terror" ushering in an era of anti-Muslim racism, or Islamophobia.

However, 9/11 did not create Islamophobia, an ideology which has become the handmaiden of imperialism. This book examines the historic relationship between Islamophobia and the agenda of empire-building. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781608462117, NZRP$29.95 Publish July 2012, 220 pages Haymarket Books Current Affairs & Politics

Exodus to Shanghai

Radio Congo

Steve Hochstadt, Illinois College, USA.

Signals of Hope from Africa's Deadliest War

Of the 400,000 German-speaking Jews that escaped the Third Reich as refugees, approximately 16,000 ended up in Shanghai, China, as part of one of the more remote enclaves within the Jewish diaspora. Nobody wanted to go to China, and because Shanghai was the last choice of refugees, those who went there had nowhere else left to go.

They had endured every stage of escalating Nazi persecution, including the mass arrests during Kristallnacht, the real beginning of the Holocaust.

This groundbreaking oral history volume is based on 20 years of interviews with over 100 former Shanghai refugees. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781137006714, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2012, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan History

The questions he has chosen - and the answers he provides - challenge almost everything we thought we knew about the ancient civilisation in the Nile valley.

Feature Titles The Rebirth of History

Planet Sport

Times of Riots and Uprisings

Kath Woodward, Open University, UK.

Alan Badiou, College International de Philosophie, France.

Sport is big business globally, but also the source of the most powerful personal identifications and individual and collective pleasures. Woodward demonstrates why sport matters and how, arguing that we should take sport seriously, and explore what is social about it. Sport is not just another domain to which social theories can be applied; it is also distinctive and generates new ways of thinking about social issues and debates. Sport is affected by the global economy and social, political and cultural processes - but it also shapes the wider social terrain of which it is part. Sport reproduces inequalities as well as offering opportunities. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415681124, NZRP$34.95 Publish July 2012, 104 pages Routledge Sports/Sociology

In the uprisings of the Arab world, Alain Badiou discerns achoes of the European revolutions of 1848. In both cases, the object was to overthrow despotic regimes maintained by the great powers - regimes desgned to impose the will of financial oligarchies. Both events occurred after what was commonly thought to be the end of a revolutionary epoch. Likewise, the uprisings under way today herald a worldwide resurgence in the liberating force of the masses - despite the attempts of the 'international community' to neutralize its power. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844678792, NZRP$34.95 Publish July 2012, 192 pages Verso Politics/Philosophy Quantity

Reinvention

Parallel Histories of Israel-Palestine

Anthony Elliott, Flinders University, Australia.

Peace Research Institute in the Middle East (PRIME).

From psychotherapy to life coaching, from reality television to cosmetic surgery: the art of reinvention is inextricably interwoven with the lure of the next frontier. In a brief, wide-ranging and ambitious overview of the rise and rise of reinvention, Elliott reviews everything from reinvention gurus to business reinvention, from personal makeovers to corporate rebrandings. He undertakes a serious if often amusing consideration of contemporary reinvention practices, including super-fast weight loss diets, celebrity makeovers, body augmentations, speed dating, online relationship therapies, organizational restructurings, business downsizings, and many more. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415682848, NZRP$34.95 Publish July 2012, 192 pages Routledge Popular Culture Quantity

Riaz Hassan, Flinders University, Australia

Clive Bloom, Middlesex University, UK.

The author analyzes concrete data from The Suicide Terrorism Database at Flinders University, Australia, to explains what motivates perpretators. The results serve to largely discredit common wisdom that religion and impressionable personality are the principal causes, and show rather that a cocktail of motivations fuel these attacks which include politics, humiliation, revenge, retaliation, and altruism. Suicide bombings provides a short but incisive insight into this much publicized form of terrorism, and as such is an informative and engaging resources. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415588874, NZRP$34.95 Published April 2011, 116 pages Routledge Popular Culture

Since 2000, London has seen unprecedented levels of unrest. Its streets have become the battleground for a host of new demands and new ideological standpoints; its occupants, protesters and authority alike, have had to invent new tactics to cope with the pressure of street politics and advances in social media. Riot City deals in detail with the story behind the capital's unrest from the perspective of protesters, police and government.

From the student protests to the August riots, Bloom deftly draws parallels between London's shocking events and reveals how many lessons can still be learned from our riotous past. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781137029355, NZRP$29.95 Publish July 2012, 216 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Social & Cultural History

In the febrile religious and political climate of late sixteenth-century England, Lancashire was felt by the Protestant authorities to be a sinister corner of superstition, lawlessness and popery.

The arraignment of the Lancashire witches in the assizes of Lancaster during 1612 is England's most notorious witch-trial. The women who lived in the vicinity of Pendle, who were accused, convicted and hanged alongside the so-called 'Salmesbury Witches', were more than just wicked sorcerers whose malign incantations caused others harm. $46.00 Hb, ISBN 9781780760629, NZRP$58.00 Publish July 2012, 240 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers History & Philosophy

Critical Encounters

Richard Seymour is a writer and activist.

William Walters, Carleton University, Ottawa Canada.

A war that has killed over a million Iraqis was a 'humanitarian intervention', the US army is a force for liberation, and the main threat to world peace is posed by Islam. In this critical intervention, Richard Seymour unearths the history of liberal justifications for empire, showing how savage policies of conquest-including genocide and slavery-have been retailed as charitable missions.

From the Cold War to the War on Terror, Seymour argues that the colonial tropes of 'civilization' and 'progress' still shape liberal pro-war discourse, and still conceal the same bloody realities. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844678617, NZRP$38.00 Publish July 2012, 358 pages Verso Current Affairs & Politics

It considers Saudi claims of 'exemption' from the democratic demands of the Arab Spring. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745332697, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2012, 240 pages Pluto Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

This book explores the ideas of key thinkers and media practitioners who have examined images and icons of war and terror. Icons of War and Terror explores theories of iconic images of war and terror, not as received pieties but as challenging uncertainties; in doing so, it engages with both critical discourse and conventional imagemaking. The authors draw on these theories to re-investigate the media/global context of some of the most iconic representations of war and terror in the international ‘risk society'. $62.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415698054, NZRP$78.00 Publish July 2012, 240 pages Routledge Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

The author provides the historical backgroud to the new piracy, its impact on the shipping and insurance industries and also considers the role of international bodies like UN and the International Maritime Bureau, international law and the development of advanced naval and military measures. He shows how this 'new' piracy is rooted in the geopolitics and socio-economic conditions of the late-20th century where populations live on the margins and where weak or 'failed states' can encourage criminal activity and even international terrorism. $46.00 Hb, ISBN 9781848856332, NZRP$58.00 Publish July 2012, 304 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Current Affairs and Politics

The Power of Interdependence

The Rise of Secular Americans

Lessons from Africa

David Niose, American Humanist Association, USA.

David O. Kuranga

The author argues that America was never in fact a Christian nation and shows how the Religious Right successfully took control of the social and political narrative. He takes us across the country to meet the secular groups now forming in opporsition to that force - from humanist gatherings to the rise of the New Atheists to the explosion of secualar groups on college and even high school campuses.

Niose discusses their political goals, including lobbying efforts, legal strategies, and outreach through advertising and education, and what still needs to be done to make the secular voice a gamechanger in American politics. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230338951, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

This book challenges dominant views in global affairs, that individual countries maintain control over the international system. It advances an alternative possibility, that in fact, the power of individual countries is now being matched and at times consumed by the power of supranational organizations, which are international bodies made up of several independent countries. The book uses detail accounts, with insider classified data, of multinational interventions in select countries in Africa to demonstrate the shift in global affairs. $45.00 Pb, ISBN 9781137019950, NZRP$57.00 Publish July 2012, 192 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics

None of Us Were Like This Before

Protest and Organization in Alternative Globalization Era

American Soldiers and Torture

NGOs, Social Movements, and Political Parties

Joshua E. S. Phillips' work has been on PBS and BBC.

Now in Paperback!

Phillips's narrative recounts the journey of a tank battalion-trained for conventional combat-as its focus switches to guerrilla war and prisoner detention. It tells of how a group of ordinary soldiers, ill trained for the responsibilities foisted upon them, descended into the degradation of abuse. The location is far from CIA prisons and Guantanamo, but the story captures the widespread use and nature of torture in the US armed forces. It reveals how soldiers, senior officials, and the US public came to believe that torture was both effective and necessary. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844678846, NZRP$29.95 Publish July 2012, 256 pages Verso Current Affairs & Politics

The central argument of this book is that there is much more to the history of democracy than this standard history admits. There is a whole secret history, too big, complex and insufficiently 'Western' in character to be included in common accounts. In exploring The Secret History of Democracy, the contributors establish that democracy was developing in the Middle East, India and China before classical Athens, clung on during the 'Dark Ages' in Islam, Iceland and Venice, was often part of tribal life in Africa, North America and Australia, and has developed in unexpected ways through the grassroots activism of Muslims, feminists and technophiles. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230375109, NZRP$58.00 Publish July 2012, 264 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Vivienne Jabri, King's College London, UK.

This insightful study provides the first exploration of the causes and consequences of the increased interaction between sport and the state since 1945.

Kevin Jefferys sets policy towards sport within the evolving socio-political context of post-war Britain and balances an appreciation of continuity and change from the 'austerity Games' of 1948 through to the multi-billion pound extravaganza of the London 2012 Olympics. Sport and Politics in Modern Britain provides the fullest assessment yet of this important topic, bringing sport sharply into focus as a contested domain in public and political debate. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230291874, NZRP$58.00 Publish July 2012, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Drawing on a number of examples and writers from South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, this book explores the transition from colonial modernity to the contemporary postcolonial era. It explores the different discourses, cultural practices, and political tensions which have helped to create a new postcolonial subject in international relations. Engaging with political theory, literature, and film from the postcolonial world, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical international relations, postcolonial theory, and political theory. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415682114, NZRP$72.00 Publish July 2012, 208 pages Routledge Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

A Memoir

Petra and the Lost Kingdom of the Nabataeans

Jacob Nammar is a retired business executive.

Jane Taylor is a writer and photographer.

When Jacob Nammar was a young boy growing up in Harret al-Nammareh, his family, his friends, and the streets of his West Jerusalem neighborhood were the center of his life. It wasn't long, however, before his existence was turned upside down when his family was forced out of their home during al-nakba, the catastrophe that resulted in ethnic cleansing of nearly 750,000 natives. In this heartwarming memoir, Jacob paints a vivid portrait of Palestinian life - from his childhood days in pre1948 Jerusalem, the struggles of the Palestinian community under Israeli rule, to his ultimate decision to leave for America at age 23. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781566568869, NZRP$29.95 Publish July 2012, 224 pages Interlink Quantity Memoir

A. L. Lloyd – better known as Bert Lloyd – was a folk singer and folk music collector, writer, painter, journalist, art critic, whalerman, sheep station roustabout, Marxist, and much more.

Palgrave Macmillan author John R. Bradley, the widely-published British foreign correspondent, was recently interviewed on ABC Radio’s The World Today about his warning that the Arab Spring has been hijacked by dangerous extremists: www.abc.net.au/ worldtoday/. He was also interviewed on The Open House: www.openhousecommunity.com.au/

In 1924 he worked on various sheep stations in New South Wales, and during this time he began to write down folksongs that he learned. He later went on to release at least six collections of Australian bush ballads and folk music. Bert also made a film, Ten Thousand Miles: A. L. Lloyd in Australia that was broadcast by the ABC.

The time of our lives

In good time The astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall in Prague.

About Time: From Sun Dials to Quantum Clocks, How the Cosmos Shapes Our Lives Adam Frank 2012 Oneworld Publications, £12.99pb 432pp

64 Quantity

There is something about time that seems to perplex us. Time is everywhere, and nowhere; it is easy to measure, but hard to define; the past seems different from the future, but our equations do not tell us why. No wonder books about the nature of time have appeared almost as regularly as, well, clockwork, from Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time (1988) to Paul Davies’ About Time (1995), Sean Carroll’s From Eternity to Here (2010) and Roger Penrose’s Cycles of Time (2010). In fact, I am guilty of adding to the heap myself, with In Search of Time (2008).

The latest contribution is another book called About Time, this one written by Adam Frank, an astrophysicist at the University of Rochester in upstate New York. With all the good titles having been taken, Frank can perhaps be forgiven for re-using Davies’ from 17 years ago. More importantly, he has found a largely untapped branch of the temporal landscape to explore. Time, it seems, is the dimension that keeps on giving.

In this ambitious and sprawling work, Frank attempts to weave together the cosmological and the cultural – to show that our theories about space and time, and how we live in time, are deeply intertwined. One example of what Frank calls the “braiding” of cosmology and culture concerns the mechanical clock, which in his view is “without a doubt, the most important invention of the last thousand years”. Clocks became widespread in Europe in the 14th century, bringing a more structured workday and, arguably, a more rushed way of life. But the ubiquitous clock also changed the way we imagine the cosmos itself, as the metaphor of the “clockwork universe” began to take hold. The medieval philosopher Nicole Oresme, Frank tells us, described the world as “a regular clockwork that was neither fast nor slow, never stopped, and worked in summer and winter”. As for the planets circling above, Oresme found them “similar to when a person has made a horologe [a clock] and sets it in

About Time. $29.95, NZRP$34.95 Pb, 9781851689095

motion, and then it moves by itself”.

To drive the point home, Frank adds that “People had refashioned their daily, intimate worlds to the beat of the clock, so it was only natural that their conception of the surrounding universe should follow.”

At this point we are about onequarter of the way into the book. Next comes Newton and his postulate of absolute space and time, which formed the foundation for his laws of mechanics and his law of universal gravitation. Often described as the climax of the scientific revolution, this is an oft-told tale, but Frank gives it new life by telling, in parallel, the story of Ambrose Crowley. An English industrialist and contemporary of Newton, Crowley built an ironworks near Newcastle that was, in its own way, as revolutionary as Newton’s physics.

This ironworks operation was the forerunner of the modern factory, and Frank argues that it succeeded because of Crowley’s “genius for organizing human activity across space and time”.

Frank finds these “braids” everywhere. After the scientific revolution came the industrial one, accompanied by the huffing and puffing machines that nurtured the study of thermodynamics. And it was the laws of thermodynamics that gave rise to our conception of the “heat death” of the universe, a far-off but terrifying (and seemingly inescapable) catastrophe.

Then, a few decades later, radio broadcasting gave us, for the first time, a “national now”, just as Einstein’s theory of relativity was showing just how fragile the notion of “now” really is.

Frank includes quite a lot of material here, from the birth of agriculture and the social effect of washing machines to the pros and cons of multiple universes. Considering the scope of the text, it is a remarkably tight narrative. And he is very much up to speed on the latest speculations on what may have preceded the Big Bang, from the “colliding branes” imagined by Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok in an offshoot of string theory to the “eternal inflation” model championed by Sean Carroll and others. But there are a few bumps along the way. He loves the phrase “material engagement” a little too much; in one spot it appears four times in about a page. In discussing 21st-century time pressures, a surprisingly large chunk of text is devoted to the Physics World March 2012

Decoding Facts and Variables

The Science, The Solution, The Way Forward

Richard Biernacki, University of California, USA.

Danny Ghivers is a freelance carbon analyst.

This book revisits the dominant scientific method, 'coding,' with which investigators from sociology to literary criticism have sampled texts and catalogued their cultural messages. The author demonstrates that the celebrated hard outputs rest on misleading samples and on unfeasible classifying of the texts' meanings. The author illustrates how a purely humanistic reliance on families of symptomatic exemplars sponsors research that is retraceable and more accurate and transparent in its conclusions. $45.00 Pb, ISBN 9781137007278, NZRP$57.00 Publish July 2012, 304 pages Palgrave Macmillan Society & Culture

Ideal for students, academics, and anyone interested in the growing issue of society's impact on climate change and how to make climate justice a reality. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781906523855 Published March 2010, 144 pages New Internationalist Society & Culture

Essays on Women's Liberation, Second Edition

Chris Brazier is the editor of New Internationalist magazine since 1984.

Sharon Smith is the author of Subterranean Fire.

Thirty years have passed since the heyday of the women's liberation struggle, yet women remain second-class citizens. Feminism has shifted steadily rightward since the 1960s. This collection of essays examines these issues from a Marxist perspective, badly needed today. Women and Socialism locates the source of women's oppression in class society, arguing that only a movement integrating the fight for women's liberation with a struggle against a system that puts profit above human needs can end women's oppression - along with all other forms of inequality. $21.00 Pb, ISBN 9781608461806, NZRP$27.00 Publish July 2012, 260 pages Haymarket Quantity Society & Culture

How and why do people 'frame' animals so pervasively, and what are the ramifications are of this habit? For animals, being put into a cultural frame (a film, a website, a pornographic tableau, an advertisement, a cave drawing, a zoo) means being taken out of their natural contexts, leaving them somehow displaced and decontextualized.

Human vision of the animal equates to power over the animal. A more ethically accurate stance in our relationship to animals should thus challenge the omnipotence of our visual access to them. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781137009838, NZRP$58.00 Publish July 2012, 192 pages Palgrave Macmillan The Arts

The modern study of art and the making of modern art thus appear to be founded on incompatible principles: the one on the centrality of ancient art; the other on its utter repudiation. Elizabeth Prettejohn's important and revisionist new book starts from an opposite premise: that the modern study of ancient art and the making of modern art are inextricably intertwined. Subjecting Winckelmann's ideas to astute yet sympathetic critique, the author uses exciting theories of reception to construct a new theory of the relationship between ancientand modern art. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9781848859036, NZRP$55.00 Publish July 2012, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

Carol Martin, New York University, USA.

Bettina Papenburg and Marta Zarzycka, both Utrecht University, Germany.

Art today is an increasingly multifaceted phenomenon, encompassing transgressive works that intervene in war, inequalities, ecological disasters, and revolutionary changes in technology.

Carnal Aesthetics is a fascinating new examination of this aspect of contemporary visual culture.

Employing recent theories of transgressive body imagery, trauma, affectivity and sensation, it provides a fresh look at the meeting point between the politics of representation and the politics of perception, through the prismatic lens of feminist theory. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9781780760131, NZRP$55.00 Publish July 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

Dr Mark Bould, University of the West of England, UK.

Bruce McConachie, University of PIttsburgh, USA.

In Science Fiction, Mark Bould explores the genre from 1895 to the present day, drawing on examples from over forty countries. Questions are raised about the relationship between sf, science and technology, and about the interrelationships between spectacle, narrative and self-reflexivity, with particular attention being paid to the role of special effects in creating impact and meaning.

Also under consideration are sf's evocations of the sublime, the grotesque, and the camp, and the ways in which the genre reproduces and articulates discourses of colonialism, imperialism and neoliberal globalization. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415458115, NZRP$49.00 Publish July 2012, 256 pages Routledge The Arts Quantity

It interweaves tried-and-tested practical exercises with sound advice, and illustrative tales from Ruscio's remarkable career, to form a training handbook as uniquely pragmatic as his favourite phrase.

This book takes up the diversity and complexity of these idiosyncratic and, in strict terms, generally extra-legal medial situations.

This is an innovative, text-based, language course designed for students interested in acquiring a foundation in Qur'anic and Classical Arabic.

Starting with the shorter suuras of the Qur'an, such as alfaatiHa and those of the Juz' 窶連mma, it utilises their recurring vocabulary and grammatical structures to build a stable linguistic foundation for learners before moving on to more challenging and longer suuras such as Yaasiin, Maryam and Yuusuf. Although the book is primarily designed for classroom use, the vocabulary and structures of the short suras, the accompanying audio recordings, and the activities found throughout the book will also be helpful for independent learners. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415508940, NZRP$73.00 Publish July 2012, 336 pages Routledge Quantity Language

Handbooks, guides, and articles on the Harry Potter books have been produced, but there is as yet no sustained discussion of the series as a literary work.

Shira Wolosky shows here that the Harry Potter books take part in a rich literary tradition, including allegorical double meanings, mirror images among characters, psychological explorations of family dynamics, political and social critique, and complex moral questions. This book draws readers into deeper meanings of Harry Potter, arguing that the books launch and pursue interpretive quests in an ongoing effort to understand patterns and their attendant meanings, implications, and consequences. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137033987, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2012, 238 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Literature
