LEAD TITLES Against Their Will The Secret History of Medical Experimentation on Children in Cold War America Allen M. Hornblum is the author of Acres of Skin and Sentenced to Science; Judith Lynn Newman is an Associate Professor of Human Development at Penn State University (Abington), USA; and Gregory J. Dober writes on medical issues for organizational newsletters such as Prison Legal News. During the Cold War, doctors and scientists from prestigious institutions such as Harvard, MIT, the University of Pennsylvania and the Atomic Energy Commission were pressured to produce medical advances to compete with the perceived threats coming from the Soviet Union. In Against Their Will, authors Allen Hornblum, Judith Newman, and Gregory Dober reveal the little known history of unethical and dangerous medical experimentation on children. Through rare interviews and the personal correspondence of renowned, medical investigators they document how children - both normal and those termed ‘feebleminded’ - from infants to teenagers, became human research subjects in terrifying experiments. They were drafted as ‘volunteers’ to test vaccines, doused with ringworm, underwent electric shock and subjected to lobotomies. They were also fed radioactive isotopes and exposed to chemical warfare agents. Trapped in orphanages, locked in mental asylums, and schools for the ‘feebleminded,’ this groundbreaking book shows how institutional superintendents influenced by eugenics often turned these children over to scientific researchers without a second thought. Based on years of archival work, and numerous interviews with both scientific researchers and former test subjects, this is fascinating and chilling look at the dark underbelly of medical history. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230341715, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2013, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan

Four Degrees of Global Warming Australia in a Hot World Peter Christoff, University of Melbourne, Australia. He is co-author, with Professor Robyn Eckersley, of Globalization and the Environment (Rowman and Littlefield, in press 2013), and co-edited Climate Law in Australia (Federation Press, 2007) with Professor Tim Bonyhady.

Delayed to October 2013 Australian Author

At Copenhagen in December 2009, the international community agreed to limit global average warming to below two Celsius in order to avoid the worst impacts of induced climate change. Climate scientists now agree that the emissions reduction targets and measures proposed by the international community - including Australia - at and since Copenhagen, will not achieve this goal. Instead, these commitments would likely produce average global warming of around four degrees by 2100, and to between six and twelve degrees in centuries thereafter. This ‘ambition gap' between climate science and climate policy makes the possibility of a ‘Four Degree World' realistic and the need to understand what this world might look like, urgent. Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World outlines the expected impacts of global average warming of four degrees or more for Australia and its region. They provide a detailed, dramatic and disturbing examination of the likely impacts of a Four Degree World on Australia's social, economic and ecological systems. The overarching message of this book is that warming of four degrees or more will cause radical transformations in Australia and its region. This book highlights the inadequacy of present Australian emissions targets and points to the efforts required if Australia is to avoid catastrophic consequences. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415824583, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2013, 224 pages Earthscan From the book: “In a Four Degree world, the effects of climate change in Australia will be dramatic. They are projected to include temperature increases of about 3 to 5 degree Celcius in coastal areas, likely declines of annual rainfall in southern Australia of up to 50 percent, and sea level rise up to about 1.1m in 2100, increasing to more than 7m over subsequent centuries even if no further global warming.” Quantity

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY The Crimes of Elagabalus The Life and Legacy of Rome's Decadent Boy Emperor Martijn Icks is a lecturer in History and Cultural Studies at the University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Elagabalus was one of the most notorious of Rome's 'bad emperors': a sexually-depraved and eccentric hedonist who in his short and riotous reign made unprecedented changes to Roman state religion and defied all taboos. An oriental boy-priest from Syria - aged just fourteen when he was elevated to power in 218 CE - he placed the sun god El-Gabal at the head of the established Roman pantheon, engaged in orgiastic rituals, took male and female lovers, wore feminine dress and was alleged to have prostituted himself in taverns and even inside the imperial palace. Since his assassination by the Praetorian Guard at the age of eighteen, Elagabalus has been an object of fascination to historians and a source of inspiration for artists and writers. This immensely readable book examines the life of one of the Roman Empire's most colourful figures, and charts the many guises of his legacy: from evil tyrant to firebrand rebel, from mystical androgyne to modern gay teenager, from decadent sensualist to ancient pop star. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780765501, NZRP$32.95 Publish July 2013, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers “A serious, stimulating study of Elagabalus.” - Judith Weingarten, Times Higher Education. “A clear and well-organised account written in a lively and approachable way.” - Brian Campbell, Professor of Roman History, Queen’s University Belfast.

ROMAN EMPIRE

Paralysed with Fear The Story of Polio Gareth Williams is Professor of Medicine and former Dean of Faculty at the University of Bristol, UK. He has written or co-authored over 20 books, including the Textbook of Diabetes (BMA Book of the Year, 1997) and has contributed to more than 30 others, including the Oxford Textbook of Medicine. Inspired by the life of Edward Jenner, Gareth wrote Angel of Death: The Story of Smallpox, which was shortlisted for the Wellcome Trust Book Prize in 2010. For much of the twentieth century, polio inspired terror as the 'morning paralysis' which could break into any home and disable or kill a previously healthy person. The cruelty of the disease is epitomised by the iconic images of the crippled child and the iron lung. This story of mankind's struggle against polio is compelling, exciting and full of twists and pardoxes. One of the grand challenges of modern medicine, it was a battleground between good and bad science. Some research won Nobel Prizes; other work was flawed or fraudulent, holding up progress and endangering patients' lives. Gareth Williams takes an original view of the journey to understanding and defeating polio, exploring the profoundly moving experiences of victims alongside the medical and scientific landmarks in the history of the disease. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137299758, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2013, 336 pages Palgrave Macmillan

This collection explores the aftermath of the Representation of the People Act (1918), which gave some (but not all) British women the vote. Leading experts explore the paths taken by former-suffragists as well as their antisuffragist adversaries, the practices of suffrage commemoration, and the changing priorities and formations of British feminism in this crucial era. In considering how generational conflict informed the contested legacy of suffragism, these essays examine the impact of universal suffrage on the main political parties. Were the hopes and ambitions invested in women's and universal enfranchisement realized or dashed? How did those concerned evaluate the outcome as the years wore on?

The middle class is often viewed as the heart of American society, the key to the country's democracy and prosperity. Yet today the American middle class is increasingly seen as under threat. In The American Middle Class, Lawrence R. Samuel charts the rise and fall of this most definitive American population, from its triumphant emergence in the post-World War II years to the struggles of the present day. Drawing on a rich array of voices from the past half-century, this book explores how the middle class, and ideas about it, have changed over time, including the distinct story of the black middle class. The author takes a long look at how the middle class has been winnowed away and reveals how, even in the face of this erosion, the image of the enduring middle class remains the heart and soul of the United States.

British Prime Ministers from Balfour to Brown

The Great Rivalry

Robert Pearce, University of Cumbria, UK and Graham Goodlad, St John's College, UK.

Dick Leonard worked for the BBC and contributed regularly to leading newspapers.

British Prime Ministers from Balfour to Brown explores the personalities and achievements of twenty British prime ministers who have held the highest political office between 1902 and 2010. Each chapter gives a concise account of its subject's rise to power, ideas and motivations, and governing style, as well as examining his or her contribution to policymaking and handling of the major issues of the time. The authors explore each Prime Minister's interaction with colleagues and political parties, as well as with Cabinet, Parliament and other key institutions of government. Furthermore they assess the significance, and current reputation, of each of the premiers. This book charts both the evolving importance of the office of Prime Minister and the continuing restraints on the exercise of power by Britain's leaders.

Benjamin Disraeli and William Ewart Gladstone are without doubt the two most iconic figures of Victorian politics. Their distinctly different personalities and policies led to 28 years of bitter political rivalry. For the first time, this book provides the full story of their rivalry and its origins, comparing the upbringing, education and personalities of the two leaders, as well as their political careers. Dick Leonard considers the impact of religion on the two men, their contrasting oratorical skills, their attitudes to political and social reform, foreign affairs and imperialism as well as their relations with Queen Victoria. In their private lives he sheds new light on Gladstone's guilt-ridden obsession with 'reforming' prostitutes, and Disraeli's almost completely successful efforts to conceal the existence of two illegitimate children.

Foucault for Architects

Marx on Gender and the Family

Gordana Fontana-Giusti is a professor and the director of the Graduate Studies, the Masters of Philosophy and PhD, and the Masters of Architecture and Cities programs at the University of Kent School of Architecture, UK.

Heather Brown. This, the first book-length study devoted exclusively to Marx's perspectives on gender and the family, offers a fresh look at this topic in light of twenty-first century concerns. Although Marx's writings sometimes exhibit sexism his work often transcends these phrases. Brown studies his writings on gender, as well as his 1879-1882 notebooks on precapitalist societies and gender.

Offering an excellent entry point into the remarkable work of Michel Foucault, this book provides a focused overture suitable for architects, designers, urban designers, students of architectural design and related histories and theories. Michel Foucault has had a significant impact on various aspects of architecture and its critical discourse. This book focuses on a number of subject areas, historical and theoretical issues addressed by Foucault that have been relevant for architectural knowledge, its history and its practice.

Historical Materialism

Available Now!

In 1953, the U.S. orchestrated the swift overthrow of Iran's democratically elected leader and installed Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in his place. The 1979 Iranian Revolution deposed the shah and replaced his government with a radical Islamic republic under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The author uncovers littleknown documents that challenge conventional interpretations and also sheds new light on how the American role in the coup influenced U.S.Iranian relations, both past and present. Drawing from the hitherto closed archives of British Petroleum, the Foreign Office, and the U.S. State Department, as well as from Iranian memoirs and published interviews, Abrahamian's riveting account of this key historical event will change America's understanding of a crucial turning point in modern U.S.-Iranian relations.

In 1781 the British Empire suffered its most humiliating defeat in a war they should have won. Weaving together the personal stories of ten prominent men, including King George III, Prime Minister Lord North, General Burgoyne, and the Earl of Sandwich, Andrew O'Shaughnessy demolishes the myths, emerging with a very different and much richer account of the conflict - one driven by able and even brilliant leadership. Victories were frequent, and in fact the British conquered every American city at some stage. But roiling political complexities at home, combined with the fervency of the fighting Americans eventually proved fatal.

Daniel Boyarin, University of California, USA.

$24.95 Pb ISBN 9781595588784 Publish July 2013 224 pages The New Press NZRP$32.95

For the first time, historian Andrew Burstein explores the relationship between dreams and the establishment of 'American' psyche, a dynamic that remains central to the ideas and values upheld by the country today. Including a study of dreams recorded by iconic American figures such as John and Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.

Geoff Eley, University of Michigan, USA.

In this powerful, groundbreaking work, Boyarin guides us through a rich tapestry of new discoveries and ancient scriptures to make the powerful case that our conventional understandings of Jesus and of the origins of Christianity are wrong. Boyarin's scrupulously illustrated account argues that the coming of the Messiah was fully imagined in the ancient Jewish texts. Jesus, moreover, was embraced by many Jews as this person, and his core teachings were not at all a break from Jewish beliefs and teachings. Jesus and his followers, Boyarin shows, were simply Jewish. What came to be known as Christianity came much later, as religious and political leaders sought to impose a new religious orthodoxy that was not present at the time of Jesus's life.

Offering a dynamic and wide-ranging examination of the key issues at the heart of the study of German Fascism, Nazism as Fascism brings together a selection of Geoff Eley's most important writings on Nazism and the Third Reich. In addition, this book also looks at the larger questions of the historical legacy of Fascist ideology and charts its influence and development from its origin in 1930's Germany through to its intellectual and spatial influence on a modern society in crisis. In Nazism as Fascism Geoff Eley engages with Germany's political past in order to evaluate the politics of the present day and to understand what happens when the basic principles of democracy and community are violated.

Theodore Gracyk, Minnesota State University, USA. Having published extensively in philosophy of art, philosophy of music, and the history of aesthetics, he became co-editor of The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism in 2013. His Rhythm and Noise: An Aesthetics of Rock (1996) was a groundbreaking exploration of the aesthetics of popular music. He is the co-editor, with Andrew Kania, of the Routledge Companion to Philosophy and Music (2011).

David Archard, Queen’s University Belfast, UK; Monique Deveaux, Williams College, USA; Neil Manson, Lancaster University, UK; and Daniel Weinstock, University of Montreal, Canada.

Opinionated and example-filled, this extremely concise and accessible book provides a survey of some fundamental and longstanding debates about the nature of music. The central arguments and ideas of historical and contemporary philosophers are presented with the goal of making them as accessible as possible to general readers who have no background in philosophy. The emphasis is on instrumental music, but examples are drawn from many cultures as well as from Western classical, jazz, folk, and popular music.

Passage to America

Sport in Capitalist Society

Celebrated European Visitors in Search of the American Adventure

A Short History

Gloria Deak.

Based on original sources, the book explains how sport has been shaped and moulded by the major political and economic events of the past two centuries, such as the French Revolution, the rise of modern nationalism and imperialism, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War and the imposition of the neo-liberal agenda in the last decades of the twentieth century. It highlights the symbiotic relationship between the media and sport, from the simultaneous emergence of print capitalism and modern sport in Georgian England to the rise of Murdoch's global satellite television empire in the twenty-first century, and for the first time it explores the alternative, revolutionary models of sport in the early twentieth century. This is the first sustained attempt to explain the emergence of modern sport around the world as an integral part of the globalisation of capitalism.

Tony Collins, De Montfort University, UK.

America was a source of fascination to Europeans arriving there during the course of the nineteenth century. Many prominent visitors to the United States recorded their responses to this emerging society in their diaries, letters and journals. They provide an insight into an America which is barely recognizable today whilst their writings set down a diverse and lively assortment of personal travel accounts. This book compares the impressions of a group of discerning and prominent Europeans from the cultural sphere - from the writers Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray and Oscar Wilde to luminaries of music and ballet such as Tchaikovsky and Nijinsky. Their reactions to the New World are as revealing of the European and American worlds as they are colourful and varied, providing a unique insight into the experiences of nineteenth century travellers to America.

Philosophy of Economics

Thatcher and Thatcherism

A Contemporary Introduction

Third Edition

Julian Reiss, Durham University, UK.

Eric J. Evans, Lancaster University, UK.

Philosophy of Economics: A Contemporary Introduction is the first systematic book in the philosophy of economics. It introduces the epistemological, metaphysical and ethical problems that arise in economics, and presents detailed discussions of the solutions that have been offered. Throughout, philosophical issues are illustrated by and analysed in the context of concrete cases drawn from contemporary economics, the history of economic ideas, and actual economic events. This demonstrates the relevance of philosophy of economics both for the science of economics and for the economy. This book will provide an excellent introduction to the philosophy of economics for students and interested general readers alike.

This fully revised and updated third edition of Thatcher and Thatcherism examines the origins and impact of ‘Thatcherism' as a cultural construct and an economic creed from the 1970s to the formation of a coalition government in 2010. Focusing on the career of Margaret Thatcher, Evans questions both the originality and the ideological coherence of Thatcherism were illusory. He argues that Thatcherism was a bold experiment in ideologically driven government. But also that, despite Thatcher's political dominance, failed to meet its main objectives. He includes discussion of privatisation policies and the challenge to trade union power; how Thatcher changed and controlled the Conservative Party; Britain's slow economic decline and Thatcher's attempt to ‘turn Britain around'.

Onora O'Neill is one of foremost moral philosophers writing today. Her work on ethics and bioethics, political philosophy and the philosophy of Kant is extremely influential. Her landmark Reith Lectures on trust did much to establish the subject not only on the philosophical and political agenda but in the world of media, business and law more widely. Reading Onora O'Neill is the first book to examine and critically appraise the work of this important thinker. It includes specially commissioned chapters by leading international philosophers in ethics, Kantian philosophy and political philosophy. The following aspects of O'Neill's work are examined global justice, Kant, the ethics of the family, bioethics, consent, and trust.

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY War

Weaving Memories Among Qashqa'i Nomads

Antiquity and its Legacy

Julia Huang, Yale University, USA.

In all parts of the world, the history of warfare, as well as the ironic humour of those who fight and die, can be traced back to the earliest records. Such expressions as "Live by the sword and die by the sword", "Pyrrhic victory", and "arms and the man" are commonplace, and all come from the classical age. Wilfred Owen, famous soldier of the Great War, could write the bitter line "the old lie: Dulce et decorum est/ pro patria mori" while expecting his readers to understand both Latin and allusion. Combining astute analysis of the logistics of conflict with the ethics of war, and drawing on a diverse range of cultural texts, Alfred S Bradford draws fascinating parallels between warfare and battle in ancient and modern societies. He shows that despite huge differences in weaponry and firepower, the basic principles of warfare have remained unchanged over thousands of years. War in the modern age is persistently illuminated by antiquity.

Alfred S Bradford, University of Oklahoma, USA.

Since the revolution in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has permitted few Western scholars to conduct research in the country. Here Julia Huang provides a remarkable account of local tribal life in Iran and depicts a community largely beyond the scope and reach of foreign travellers and the Western media. Huang documents the difficult livelihoods and lifestyles of these mobile Qashqa'i pastoralists and their society and culture, and she explains how this Turkic-speaking group relates to the wider Iranian society and the Islamic Republic. Focusing on a small group of women, she shows us how they adapt to a rapidly changing world while retaining tribal values and a distinctive ethnolinguistic identity as one of Iran’s largest national minorities.

The University of Oxford was a medieval wonder. In this latest instalment of her major two-volume history of the great rival institutions of Oxford and Cambridge, G R Evans turns to the elder university and reveals a powerhouse of learning and culture. Over a span of more than 800 years Oxford has nurtured some of the greatest minds, while right across the globe its name is synonymous with educational excellence. From dangerous political upheavals caused by the radical and inflammatory ideas of John Wyclif to the bloody 1555 martyrdoms of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley; and from John Ruskin's innovative lectures on art and explosive public debate between Charles Darwin and his opponents to gentler meetings of the Inklings in the 'Bird and Baby', Evans brings Oxford's revolutionary events, as well as its remarkable intellectual journey, to vivid and sparkling life.

From the author of Paralyzed with Fear (page 2)! Angel of Death tells a lively and powerful tale: the story of our battle against smallpox, once humankind’s greatest killer, but ultimately the only disease that we have successfully eradicated from the planet. By skilfully weaving together previously neglected voices with the personal experiences of colourful historical figures such as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Edward Jenner, Gareth Williams breathes life into one of the most exciting success stories in the history of medicine. $25.00 Pb ISBN 9780230302310 August 2011 456 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRP$32.00

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS The Last Gun Changes in the Gun Industry are Killing Americans and What It Will Take to Stop It Tom Diaz is the author of Making a Killing: The Business of Guns in America (The New Press). Tom Diaz’s Making a Killing, is widely considered to be the most influential antigun book ever written. Its publication helped to spark a national media campaign around the machinations of the gun industry and the wave of gun violence it spawned. Picking up where it left off, The Last Gun looks at how the gun industry has changed dramatically in the intervening decade, how the nature of gun violence has changed in step with industry trends, and why the time is ripe for a new political effort to attack gun violence at its source: the guns themselves. In The Last Gun, Diaz offers a chilling, up-to-date survey of the changed landscape of gun manufacturing and marketing, including the disturbing trend toward military-grade, high-powered gun models and the latest statistics on how these more powerful guns have enabled new levels of gun violence to crest. The Last Gun shows how the onceimpregnable gun lobby has become a "paper tiger," reviewing recent legislative and judicial developments, as well as important local case studies, to show that now is the time for a renewed effort to bring a fundamentally corrupt and dangerous industry to heel. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595588302, NZRP$44.95 Publish April 2013, 224 pages The New Press

From the Afterword: “The urgency of the need for change was tragically underscored on December 14, 2012, when a young man named Adam Lanza walked into the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Horrified by the sheer madness of this slaughter, many expected that the gun industry and its lobby would at last see the need for sensible gun legislation. That hope was dashed - and the intransigence of the gun lobby exposed- on Friday, December 21, when the NRA’s leadership emerged in Washington, D.C., after a week of silence. In a defiant broadside, Wayne LaPierre blamed the news media, the film industry, and video games—in short, everything but guns—for causing America’s gun violence problem.” Quantity

The editorially independent Annual Review is a project of the Center on International Cooperation at New York University.

Political conflict in our society is inevitable, and the results are often far from negative. How then should we deal with the intractable differences arising from complex modern culture? In Agonistics, Mouffe develops her philosophy, taking particular interest in international relations, strategies for radical politics and the politics of artistic practices. In a series of coruscating essays, she engages with cosmopolitanism, post-operaism, and theories of multiple modernities to argue in favor of a multipolar world with a real cultural and political pluralism.

American Government and Popular Discontent

The Blunders Of Our Governments

Stability without Success

Blunder, n. A gross mistake; an error due to stupidity or carelessness. There are a handful that we remember all too well - Margaret Thatcher's poll tax, Blair's Millennium Dome - but the list of jaw-dropping government blunders is disturbingly longer than most of us realise. With unrivalled political savvy and a keen sense of irony, King and Crewe open our eyes to the worst government horror stories and explain how, far from being unique, these gross mistakes share common patterns. Groupthink, constantly rotating ministers and weak parliaments all contribute to the blundering of modern governments. But, the authors argue, it doesn't have to be this way. Informed by decades of research and dozens of insider interviews, their razor sharp diagnosis of flawed government and spirited prescription for more foolproof policy make this required reading for every UK citizen.

The 2013 Annual Review of Global Peace Operations provides comprehensive information on all current military and-for the first time-civilian peace operations, more than 130 missions, launched by the United Nations, by regional organizations, and by coalitions. Unique in its breadth of coverage, it presents the most detailed collection of data on peace operations available. Features of the 2013 volume include an analysis of the strategic and political implications of shifting trends in conflict for the leadership of both civilian and military peace operations.

Throughout American history, parties have been a reliable instrument for translating majority preferences into public policy. From the 1950s to the 1980s, a gradual antiparty realignment, alongside the growth of professional government, produced a new American political system of remarkable durability - and remarkable dysfunction. It is a system that it is paradoxically stable despite witnessing frequent shifts in party control of the institutions of government at the state and national level. Schier and Eberly's system-level view of American politics demonstrates the disconnect between an increasingly polarized and partisan elite and an increasingly disaffected mass public.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS Concepts

Strategy and Tactics, Second Edition

A Critical Approach

Dennis W. Johnson, George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management, USA

Andy Blunden. Andy Blunden presents a critical review of theories of Concepts in cognitive psychology, analytical philosophy, linguistics, conceptual change theory and other disciplines. Blunden responds to these criticisms with an historical review focussing on the idealist philosophy of Hegel, its reception and transformation in the development of positive science and finally the cultural psychology of Lev Vygotsky.

The author has assembled an outstanding team of political scientists and political professionals to examine one of the fiercest and most closely fought presidential elections of our time. Like its predecessor on the 2008 race, this book focuses on political management. It is written by both campaigns and elections scholars and practitioners, who highlight the role of political consultants and campaigns while also emphasizing the strategy and tactics employed by the candidates, the national political parties, and outside interests. The contributors explore the general mood of the electorate in the 2012 election, the challenges Obama faced after his first term, the primaries, money, communication, the important issues of the election, and finally the election itself.

Ideas to Die for

Hegemony, Radical Democracy, and the Political

The Cosmopolitan Challenge

James Martin, University of London, UK.

This book seeks to address the kinds of challenges that cosmopolitan perspectives and practices face in a world organized increasingly in relation to a proliferating series of global absolutisms - religious, political, social, and economic. Situating his discussion in an emphatically global context, Gunn shows how cosmopolitanism has been effective in resisting such essentialisms and authoritarianisms precisely because it is more pragmatic than prescriptive, more self-critical than self-interested and finds several of its foremost recent expressions in the work of an Indian philosopher, a Palestinian writer, and South African story-tellers. This kind of cosmopolitanism offers a genuine ethical alternative to the politics of dogmatism and extremism because it is grounded on a new delineation of the human and opens toward a new, indeed, an "other," humanism.

Giles Gunn, University of California, USA.

Chantal Mouffe's writings have been innovatory with respect to democratic theory, Marxism and feminism. In a sense she is the original postMarxist, rejecting economisms and class-centric analyses, and also the original post-feminist, more concerned with the varieties of ‘identity politics' than with any singularities of ‘women's issues'. Whether philosophically perfectionist, or liberally reasonable, political theorists have been challenged by Mouffe to think again, and to engage with a new concept of ‘the political' and a revived and refreshed notion of ‘radical democracy'. The editor has focused on her work in three key areas: Hegemony: From Gramsci to ‘Post-Marxism' Radical Democracy: Pluralism, Citizenship and Identity The Political: A Politics Beyond Consensus The volume concludes with a new interview with Chantal Mouffe.

Coexistence in Wartime Lebanon

Landgrabbing

Decline of a State and Rise of a Nation

Journeys in the New Colonialism

Theodor Hanf, American University of Beirut, Lebanon.

Stefano Liberti is the winner of the 2008 Luchetta Prize, 2010 Carletti Prize, and 2010 Indro Montanelli Prize for his writing.

For fifteen years, Lebanon's disparate confessional groups waged a bloody and protracted civil war. But even during times of conflict, Lebanon's communities have managed a modicum of coexistence: agreeing on the importance of maintaining the Lebanese state and sharing the fear of being the player left standing in a macabre game of musical chairs. Theodor Hanf shows that it was primarily a surrogate war over Palestine which escalated into a conflict between the diverse Lebanese communities. Hanf's central theme is the problem of conflict and conflict regulation between these groups, a theme which continues to have resonance over two decades since the end of the civil war. This highly influential book delves into vital issues, such as how conflicts were peacefully regulated before the war and analyses the prospects for permanent coexistence.

To the governments and corporations that are currently buying up vast tracts of the Third World, it is called "land leasing." To its critics this new era of colonization is nothing more than "land grabbing." In this arresting account of how millions of hectares of fertile soil are being stolen to feed the wealthy thousands of miles away, journalist Stefano Liberti takes us from a Dutch-owned model farm in Ethiopia to an international conference in Riyadh, where representatives of Third World governments compete to attract the interest of Saudi investors; from institutional and commercial meetings in Rome to the headquarters of the Landless Workers' Movement in São Paulo.

This original and ambitious book explores Christian theology of religions after colonialism, through the lens of Trinitarian theology. It considers the development of Christian theological attitudes to religions beyond Christianity during the modern period, when Christian perspectives became hopelessly entangled in secularism and colonialism. With confidence in the universal applicability of western cultural artefacts now waning, the book covers recent efforts to disentangle Eurocentrism from the meeting of the religions. In dialogue with Asian and feminist theologies, Jenny Daggers outlines a Trinitarian theology of religions and reflects on ways forward for relations between the religions.

of a new vanguard: one which reworks the art/ life relationship to give form – in this case, dance in banks – a leading role. The first difference is that now, after many years of feminist struggle, women, alongside anyone who feels like a woman, can deploy their bodies to front a rising wave of resistance on behalf of all genders and all humanity. A formidably layered work on capital as a set of internalized values, Jan Peter Hammer’s The Anarchist Banker (2010) can be approached from at least two angles. First, with the question: why fictionalize? What is the good of unreal narratives generated for the purpose of explicating real relations? The video takes its title and central concept from a poet’s (Pessoa of Portugal) short story in which a relationship between a banker and his secretary is similarly performed through a conversation. Why not merely record some analytical commentary tackling the same subjects? Pessoa felt the need to write his two-hander in 1922, between two devastating world wars and before the

capitalists’ ingenious move to liberate capital from the world of objects via the Bretton Woods agreement in 1944. Almost a century later, Jan Peter Hammer has opted to rework Pessoa’s material, updating it to reflect the particularities of more contemporary crises. The dialogue between the banker claiming his emancipated subjectivity in opportunities of exceptional exploitation afforded by the fully abstracted markets now finds an interlocutor in the face of a TV presenter, the shaman of media societies responsible for eliding the difference between fact and fiction on a daily basis. The arguments advanced by Hammer’s banker, Arthur Ashenking, spur the second angle: did the birth of the individual lead to capitalism or vice versa? What is the connection between the radical self-assertion of an “I,” as the cornerstone of Western civilization, and the operations of the exceptional individual who either rejects or sustains this civilization? Over the course of a very long century, we have lived in a capitalism

that mass-produces individuality. The ideology of difference has engendered the out-of-thebox great thinker of the neoliberal era, from the visionary CEO or business consultant to the drug cartel baron. It has also given us the bohemian exceptionalism of the modern artist. The “radical chic” ethos now proliferating across management discourse has been linked back to the co-option of 1960s creative drive and political subversion, although Ashenking’s (and Pessoa’s character before him) polemics are anchored within even deeper anti-establishment roots. The Anarchist Banker connects such sociological analyses into the nature of contemporary work with the (by the 2010s) highly popular mission to unpick the psychological make-up of the financier-cumtycoon. For, we are repeatedly told, it is at this greedy – even psychopathic – figure’s door that the blame can be laid. That the debate is played03 out on the grounds of ethics and morality rather than politics makes it all the more relevant to present circumstances: Ashenking’s

a moment of possibility, and not of finality. Such moments warrant a measured analysis of the unfolding events of today and a critical reflection of the past histories. For Isa Rosenberger, the past comes colliding with the present in her 2010/12 three-part video Espiral. In a homage to Kurt Jooss’s 1932 The Green Table: A Dance of Death in 8 Scenes, Rosenberger works with the Chilean dancer Amanda Piña to re-perform the sequence of Death in front of the Austrian National Bank. In the first section, Piña, made up as a skeleton, dances with stoicism and determination as scrolling text across the frame gives an account of the expansion of Austrian banks into the former Eastern Bloc in 2005. The text further explains how these newly created financial institutions send most of their profits back to parent companies in the West, leaving the new European Union entrants from the former Eastern Bloc mired in imbalanced power relations.5 This tracing of Austria’s eastward economic expansion matches the ominous tone of the dance of Death, who is twirling, flexing its muscles, and haunting the site of the country’s financial heart. The next segment of the video shows a behind-the-scenes conversation between Piña and the artist, talking about Jooss’s

claims that liberation can be realized through his “moral fight” to subjugate money can be set against the demand for an ethical brand of capitalism capable of harnessing the wit and entrepreneurial successes of such individuals while curtailing their dissent into twisted rapacity. As the concluding scenes of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps assure, the exceptional individual is indeed capable of such personal growth beyond the realms of self-interest and may indeed instigate the emergence of such an ethically-based future. And yet, whichever angle one wishes to pursue, the crux of the story told lies elsewhere: angle one and angle two connect at the realization that an aesthetic rendering either of discourse (writing down a short story) or action (burning down the local branch of a global bank) cannot match the recombinant effect of capital as discursive action. And so, art will remain art – always leaning on fiction, on the individual, on its own exceptionalism – until it learns to do a lot better what capital

legacy, and his work as an avant-garde choreographer and a social commentator in Weimar Germany. This discussion bridges Piña’s dance in front of the National Bank in 2010 with the third segment, comprised of an excerpt from the 1932 staging of the ballet. Again, scrolling text provides financial context, but this time, of the Weimar Republic. The text begins with the 1931 bankruptcy of the Wiener Creditanstalt, the largest bank in Central and Eastern Europe. This event was considered to have been the trigger for the European banking crisis of 1931/32. The 1932 performance of The Green Table links this economic crisis to the rise of political turmoil in Europe, including the ascendancy of the Nazi party. In the performance, men in black suits, representing diplomats and politicians, literally and figuratively dance around the table, as Death relentlessly marches in its place in the background. The video ends with an epilogue from January 2012, citing the plummeting shares of UniCredit, an Italian company that has inherited much of Creditanstalt’s shares. Soon after, the text explains, Western European banks began pulling out of Eastern Europe. In the background, Piña practices her steps as the dance of Death from 1932 is projected onto her body in a spatiotemporal collapse of two

parallel worlds at a moment of crisis. A sense of urgency is evident in her work as well as in Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson’s Lobbyists. This 16-minute experimental documentary-cum-music video from 2009 is the collective effort of British reporter Tamasin Cave who wrote the text, British actress Caroline Dalton who narrated, and Icelandic reggae group Hjálmar who performed the text as the soundtrack. This humorous and sometimes discordant form of narration explores the incongruous world of lobbyists in Brussels, the site of the European Parliament. The ballad covers a range of information about the politics of lobbying, including a billion euros spent on lobbying in the European Parliament annually to sway the opinions of the policy makers, and the creation of a voluntary register of lobbyists, an oxymoron that only points to the perfunctory attempt at transparency and accountability. However, what becomes obvious from the video is the heterogeneity of the 15,000 lobbyists in

Brussels, who reflect the interest of a range of clients including law firms, trade unions, NGOs, and corporations on topics such as climate change, regulation of the financial sector, and the fight against genetically modified foods. As stated in the artists’ interview with Erik Wesselius of Corporate Europe Observatory, a Dutch organization dedicated to exposing the privileged access corporations and their lobby groups have to parliamentary procedures, “This is not about the actions of a private person. Lobbyists are clearly a very significant actor in the whole political process in Brussels. These actors are more or less invisible. That’s unacceptable in a democracy.” From Žižek’s definition of democracy as “the intrusion of the Excluded into the sociopolitical space,”6 to Chantal Mouffe’s advocacy for an agonistic space of political conflict,7 the importance of expressing different political positions, Wesselius would agree, is critical in the counter-hegemonic struggles against the economic system that has

BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIR Gandhi A Political and Spiritual Life Kathryn Tidrick is the author of the highly regarded Heart Beguiling Araby: The English Romance with Arabia and Empire and the English Character. Throughout his long and turbulent career as an Indian leader, first in South Africa and then in India, Gandhi sought to fulfill his religious aspirations through politics, and to reconcile politics with his private religious discipline. The Gandhi revealed here is not the secular saint of popular renown, but a difficult and self-obsessed man driven by a sense of unique personal destiny. Penetrating and provocative, Tidrick draws on material previously ignored by Gandhi's biographers and explores the paradoxes within his life and beliefs. Did the nationalist leader truly believe that he was not just fighting for Indian independence but also global enlightenment? Gandhi never admitted his early influences and experiences, but how important were the more esoteric ideas he first encountered in the West? $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781781681015, NZRP$39.95 Publish July 2013, 400 pages Verso “A fine and engaging biography...

Derek Bailey

The Last Storytellers

And the Story of Free Improvisation

Tales from the Heart of Morocco

Ben Watson is the author of numerous books including Frank Zappa: The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play Art, Class & Cleavage.

Richard Hamilton reports for BBC TV, radio and online.

This brilliant biography of the cult guitar player makes you forget everything you think you know about jazz improvisation, post punk and the avant-garde. Derek Bailey was at the top of his profession as a dance-band and record-session guitarist when, in the early 1960s, he began playing an uncompromisingly abstract music. As the Joseph Holbrooke Trio, with bassist Gavin Bryars and drummer Tony Oxley, Bailey forged a musical syntax which has since operated as an international counter to the banality of commercialism. Refusing to be labeled a "jazz" guitarist, Bailey has collaborated with performance artists, electronic experimentalists, classical musicians, Zen dancers, tap dancers, rock stars, jazzers, poets, weirdos and an endless stream of fiercely individual musicians.

Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco's ancient storytelling tradition. For nearly a thousand years, storytellers have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences. But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and the Internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy. Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of this rich and captivating tradition and, in the labyrinth of the Marrakech medina, has tracked down the last few remaining storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries and beauty of the Maghreb.

Determined to discover the Albanian that lies behind so many stereotypes and preconceptions, Robin Hanbury-Tenison and his wife Louella crossed the country on horseback. In the footsteps of Byron, Edward Lear and Edith Durham they crossed some of the most wild and arrestingly beautiful landscapes in Europe. Through soaring mountain ranges and hidden valleys they lived simply; staying in the homes of communities completely untouched by the twenty-first century. Land of Eagles is the story of a lyrical and dramatic journey, peppered with adventure and mishap, discovery and unexpected encounters. Adorned with the history, legends and literature of Albania and with the tales of past travellers, it is a luminous portrait of this mysterious and eccentric country.

News from Tartary describes a phenomenally successful attempt that legendary adventurer Peter Fleming made to travel overland from Peking to Kashmir. The journey took seven months and covered about 3,500 miles. Motivated by curiosity, he set out with his companion Ella Maillart across a China torn by civil war to journey through Xinjiang to British India. It had been eight years since anyone had crossed Xinjiang; in between those who had entered this inhospitable and politically volatile area--under the control of a warlord supported by Stalin's Red Army--seldom left alive. Beautifully written and superbly observed, this is not simply an account of a part of the world few of us will ever see, but also a marvellous insight into the last days of the Great Game, when Britain and Russia still faced each other across a Central Asia in a state of anarchy.

SOCIETY & CULTURE Two Billion Eyes The Story of China Central Television Ying Zhu, City University of New York, College of Staten Island, USA. The recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, she is the author or editor of seven other books, including Television in Post-Reform China and Chinese Cinema During the Era of Reform, and a co-producer of current affairs documentary films, including Google vs. China. With over 1.2 billion viewers globally, including millions in the United States, China Central Television (CCTV) reaches the world's single largest audience. The official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, CCTV is also a dynamic modern media conglomerate, fully reliant on advertising revenue and aggressively competitive both within China and on the global media scene. Yet this hugely influential media player is all but unknown to the West. Two Billion Eyes tells its story for the first time. For this unprecedented look inside CCTV, Ying Zhu has conducted candid interviews with the network's leading players, including senior executives, noted investigative journalists, and popular news anchors, as well as directors and producers of some of CCTV's most successful dramatic and current affairs programs. Examining the broader story of CCTV in a changing China over the past quarter century, Two Billion Eyes looks at how commercial priorities and journalistic ethics have competed with the demands of state censorship and how Chinese audiences themselves have grown more critical, even as Party control shows no signs of loosening. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595584649, NZRP$49.95 Published October 2012, 304 pages The New Press

From the book: “As China reforms itself and emerges as a nouveau superpower, it is defining a new approach to politics, power, and national development, a hybrid model that combines an authoritarian state with a market economy, which defies the notion that capitalism is naturally linked to a democratic political system. China’s national TV network, CCTV, is an example of this hybrid experiment, a reflection of the untested path China is taking on its way to global superpowerdom.” Quantity

Love

Media Spaces and Global Security

Tom Inglis, University College Dublin, Ireland

Coverage After 9/11

Love is a dominant theme in Western popular culture. It has become central to the meaning of everyday life, propagated through the media and the market. Being in love has become idealized. With the demise of institutional religion in the West, love has become the dominant form of inner-worldly salvation. In Foucault's terms, it has become a key component in the ‘arts of existence' and the care of self: to have lived without loving is sinful. In this highly accessible introduction to love of all kinds, Tom Inglis gives a clear, concise picture of how love shapes, and is shaped by, society. How is romantic love linked to capitalism? What is the difference between loving and liking? How does love link to hate, shame and pride? Inglis addresses all these questions, and looks at how today's changing circumstances - globalization and increased mobility - have changed our perceptions of love and relationships.

In the post-9/11 era, media and security have become increasingly intertwined as techniques of filtering, sorting, surveillance and keywording become essential elements of national defense. In this book, Lisa Parks explores the complex relations between media and security, using the term "coverage" to develop a conceptual framework for understanding their interplay. At the heart of Parks's argument is an examination of the seemingly benign media technologiessuch as Powerpoint, YouTube, and Google Earththat have been used to extend the security regime into the spaces of everyday life.

Popular Representations of Development

Jennifer Rutherford, The University of Flinders, Australia.

$14.95 Pb ISBN 9780415524483 Publish July 2013 160 pages Routledge NZRP$19.95

Insights from Novels, Films, Television and Social Media

This book explores the recent transformation of zombie from cult genre to a figure that pervades western culture. Rutherford explores why this figure has gathered such momentum in the last decade and asks why the stock zombie scenarios of ghouls tearing bodies to pieces, of survivors bludgeoning their zombie loved ones, and of civilisation in ruins hold such fascination for contemporary audiences. Making a compelling argument that the zombie is a powerful metaphor that speaks to the twentyfirst century, Rutherford argues that its viral spread throughout contemporary life arises from the capacity of the zombie figure to act as a metaphor for a constellation of social forces that define contemporary reality.

Through twelve accessible and provocative chapters, this book introduces the idea that while the issue of ‘development' - defined broadly as problems of poverty and social deprivation, and the various agencies and processes seeking to address these - is normally one that is discussed by social scientists and policy makers, it also has a wider ‘popular' dimension. Development is something that can also be understood through studying literature, films, and other non-conventional forms of representation.

In cities throughout the world, bicycles have gained a high profile in recent years, with politicians and activists promoting initiatives like bike lanes, bikeways, bike share programs, and other social programs to get more people on bicycles. Bicycles in the city are, some would say, the wave of the future for car-choked, financially-strapped, obese, and sustainabilitysensitive urban areas. This book explores how and why people are reconsidering the bicycle, no longer thinking of it simply as a toy or exercise machine, but as a potential solution to a number of contemporary problems. It focuses in particular on what reconsidering the bicycle might mean for everyday practices and politics of urban mobility, a concept that refers to the intertwined physical, technological, social, and experiential dimensions of human movement.

He is one of the worlds leading thinkers on strategy and marketing; having also taught at Harvard Business School, IMD and Northwestern University. Jan Benedict E.M. Steenkamp is the C. Knox Massey Distinguished Professor of Marketing and Marketing Area Chair at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina. Brand Breakout sets out a plan for emerging market brands to succeed in international markets and how to overcome the challenges they will face. Marketing experts Nirmalya Kumar and Jan Steenkamp examine how companies, from what are now considered emerging markets, will successfully reach, and in some cases are already competing with the developed world as consumer brands. Brand Breakout outlines eight strategies that these brands can pursue to become recognized global consumer brand names. While some emerging companies and brands will fail (as is also the case for Western brands), the strategies and their underlying strategic brand-building principles are here to stay. The authors also highlight how quickly the market is changing and warn that Western brands need to be prepared for the new competition and changes. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137276612, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2013, 230 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “Branding is not merely about differentiating products, it is about striking emotional chords with consumers. Chinese brands score low on attributes such as “sophisticated,” “desirable,” “innovative,” “friendly,” and “trustworthy.” Brands from Brazil, Russia and Vietnam score similarly on these attributes. However, China faces an additional hurdle, related to the broader political environment within which Chinese firms operate. So far, none of the world’s leading global brands have come from countries with political systems starkly different from that of the U.S. or from state-owned enterprises. In other words, Chinese brands must overcome the West’s negative associations with “communism.” Quantity

Environmental Debt The Hidden Costs of a Changing Global Economy Amy Larkin is the Business Advisor for Greenpeace International and the former director of Greenpeace Solutions. She has been featured in The Washington Post, Newsweek, Reuters, Bloomberg and won multiple awards, including a recent nomination for the United Nations Foundation Clean Energy, Education and Empowerment Award. In Environmental Debt, Amy Larkin issues a clarion call for government, businesses, and consumers to recalculate the financial contributions of the natural world - and the long-hidden costs of environmental damage. She explores the new concept of environmental debt, and the new accounting tools to track it, such as Environmental Profit & Loss Sheets, to show how businesses and governments can use conservation to drive growth by combining three central tenets: take the long view; accept that pollution can no longer be free or subsidized; and government must play a vital role in catalyzing clean technology and growth while preventing environmental destruction. As companies struggle to strategize in the face of uncertain oil prices and extreme weather, this timely and important book that will transform how policy makers, business leaders, and environmentalists think about the future of commerce. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781137278555, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2013, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “Logically, if today’s actions cause grave environmental consequences in the future, then they should not be logged as quarterly profits -- not now, not ever. In fact, they should be logged instead as environmental debt. Environmental debt is defined as polluting and/or damaging actions that will cost other parties (people, businesses or governments) real money in the future.

The term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heroic leadership' is coined to describe how heroism and leadership are intertwined, and how our most cherished heroes are also our most transforming leaders. This book offers a new conceptual framework for understanding heroism and heroic leadership, drawing from theories of great leadership and heroic action.

These 100 hero profiles offer supporting evidence for a new integration of theories of leadership and theories of heroism.

The book follows Jim, the plant manager of an electronics firm that has already seen its first Lean initiative fail. Jim realizes that if he doesn't act quickly, his job and the jobs of everyone in the factory might be in jeopardy. Jim meets a Lean consultant who agrees to help him implement and sustain a new transformation. Using simple terms and an ongoing example, the book demonstrates how to use top-down metrics to identify strategic and tactical opportunities for improvement. It describes how to conduct Hoshin Kanri (strategic policy deployment). It also describes the relationship between top-down metrics, organizational accountability, the breaking down of "stovepipes," and the concept of "alignment" that comes about as the result of Hoshin Kanri.

Hal Foster, author of the acclaimed Design and Crime, argues that a fusion of architecture and art is a defining feature of contemporary culture. He identifies a "global style" of architecture-as practiced by Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano-analogous to the international style of Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies. More than any art, today's global style conveys both the dreams and delusions of modernity. Foster demonstrates that a study of the "art-architecture complex" provides invaluable insight into broader social and economic trajectories in urgent need of analysis.

Written on the Wind

Theatre Studies

Peter William Evans, Queen Mary, University of London, UK.

The Basics

Written on the Wind (1956) is one of classical Hollywood's most striking films and ranks among Douglas Sirk's finest achievements. An intense melodrama about an alcoholic playboy who marries the woman his best friend secretly loves, the film is highly stylised, psychologically complex, and marked by Sirk's characteristic charting of the social realities of 1950s America. This first single study of Written on the Wind reassesses the film's artistic heritage and place within the wider framework of contemporary American culture. Incorporating original archival research, Peter William Evans examines the production, promotion and reception of Written on the Wind, exploring its themes - of time, memory, space, family, class and sex - as well as its brilliance of form. Its vivid aesthetics, powerful performances and profound treatment of human emotions, make Written on the Wind a masterpiece of Hollywood melodrama.

Now in a second edition, Theatre Studies: The Basics is a fully updated guide to the wonderful world of theatre. The practical and theoretical dimensions of theatre - from acting to audience - are woven together throughout to provide an integrated introduction to the study of drama, theatre and performance. Topics covered include: dramatic genres, from tragedy to political documentary theories of performance the history of the theatre in the West acting, directing and scenography With a glossary, chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading throughout, Theatre Studies: the Basics remains the ideal starting point for anyone new to the subject.

Andre Bazin's famous article, Pour un cinema impur: defense de l'adaptation, was first translated into English simply as In Defence of Mixed Cinema. Impure Cinema goes back to Bazin's original title precisely for its defence of impurity, applying it on the one hand to cinema's interbreeding with other arts and on the other to its ability to convey and promote cultural diversity. In contemporary progressive film criticism, ideas of purity, essence and origin have been superseded by favourable approaches to 'hybridization', 'transnationalism', 'multiculturalism' and cross-fertilizations of all sorts. Impure Cinema builds on this idea in novel and exciting ways, as it draws on cinema's combination of intermedial and intercultural aspects as a means to bridge the divide between studies of aesthetics and culture.

Performing Authorship offers a refreshingly new take on the cinematic auteur, proposing that the challenges that once accelerated this figure's critical demise should instead pump new life into it. Performing Authorship is an illuminating analysis of films by Jean-Luc Godard, Woody Allen, Agnes Varda, Orson Welles, Jean Rouch, Eduardo Coutinho and Sarah Turner that shows directors shifting between opposite movements towards authorial assertion and divestiture, palpability and disappearance, exposure and masking. In making this journey, Cecilia Sayad argues, the film author is not necessarily at the work's origin, nor does it constitute the end product. What the new concept of performing authorship describes is the making and unmaking of a subject.

Cross-gender casting was an ongoing phenomenon in the French theatre during the reign of Louis XIV. This book explores the trend and related gender issues in different theatrical genres and different performance contexts. Although professional acting troupes under Louis XIV were mixed, cross-casting remained an important feature of French court ballet (in which the King himself performed a number of women's roles) and an occasional feature of spoken comedy and tragic opera. This book fills an important gap in the history of French theatre and provides new insight into wider theoretical questions of gender and theatricality. The inclusion of chapters on ballet and opera (as well as spoken drama) opens up the richness of French theatre under Louis XIV in a way that has not been achieved before.

Philomena refuses to be sunk by what life is about to serve her. She's just caught her son Jimmy in the barn with another man. She's been accosted by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Red the Twit', who claims to have done the unmentionable with her husband. And now her son's gone and joined the only group that will have him: an army division on its way to Afghanistan. Filled with guilt and regret, alone and confused, Philomena promptly embarks on a rural odyssey to find the meaning of life - one that skirts madness, passes through grief and in which she, uncharacteristically, lays aside her prim and proper ways. But all the while she continues to scrub the floor, set the table, and wash the dishes. Anakana Schofield has delivered a character as extraordinary as Brecht's Mother Courage, and a domestic situation that rivals Beckett's Endgame for its stagnant and sorrowful absurdity.

Tangier A Literary Guide for Travellers Josh Shoemake, Columbia University, USA.

Literatury Guides for Travellers

An edge city, poised at the northernmost tip of Africa, just nine miles across the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe and overlooking both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Tangier is more than a destination, it is an escape, and the Interzone, as William Burroughs called it, has attracted spies, outlaws, outcasts and writers for centuries - men and women working out at the edge of literary forms, breaking through artistic borders. This outlaw originality is what most astonishes when encountering the literary history of Tangier for the first time. Particularly in the past century, the results were some of the most incendiary and influential books of our time, the most prominent being Burroughs' Naked Lunch and Bowles' The Sheltering Sky. The list of "edge" writers who were drawn to Tangier is long, among them Ibn Battuta, Samuel Pepys, Alexandre Dumas, Mark Twain, Edith Wharton, Walter Harris, Jean Genet, Paul and Jane Bowles, Tennessee Williams, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Patricia Highsmith, Jack Kerouac, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Allen Ginsberg, Alfred Chester, Joe Orton, and Mohamed Choukri. This is a book that will capture the unconventional, multilayered story of literary Tangier and will be a must-have for travellers, armchair adventurers and literature buffs, particularly aficionados of the Beat generation writers and poets who made the city their home. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781780762760, NZRP$49.95 Publish July 2013, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

The History of a Radical Poem, from Percy Shelley to the Triangle Factory Fire

A Grammar and Workbook Saeed Yousef and Hayedeh Torabi, University of Chicago, USA.

Michael Demson, Sam Houston State University, USA. This book tells the extraordinary story of Shelley's The Masque of Anarchy, its conception in Italy, its suppression in England, and how it became a rallying cry for workers across the Atlantic a century later. In 1819, British troops attacked a peaceful crowd of demonstrators near Manchester, killing and maiming hundreds. News of the Peterloo Massacre, traveled to the young English poet Percy Shelley, then living in Italy, who immediately sat down at his desk and penned one of the greatest political poems in the English language. His words would later inspire figures as wide-ranging as Henry David Thoreau and Gandhi-and also Pauline Newman, the woman the New York Times called the "New Joan of Arc" in 1907. Marching with tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers in the streets, Newman found Shelley's poetry a perennial source of inspiration.

Jalaluddin Rumi can only be described through superlatives. The Masnavi, Rumi's longest and most fully realised poetic work remains, in the eastern lands of Islam, the most extensively read and revered text after the Qur'an. Perhaps more surprisingly, Rumi is also often cited as the most widely read poet today in the United States. The richness of his language, and his penetrating spiritual insights about the divine, mean that Rumi has an enduring capacity to transport readers from within any culture, Islamic or otherwise. Schimmel shows how Rumi's work, while timeless and with enduring cross-cultural appeal, must finally be understood as part of a wider Islamic mystical tradition, albeit an expression of that tradition which remains unsurpassed for its beauty and profundity.

Why is it that most of us find it so hard to change aspects of our lives? Whether we want to quit smoking, exercise more, eat healthier or simply floss our teeth more regularly, our best efforts are too often doomed to failure. The problem is not a lack of will power but the workings of our unconscious minds, says psychologist Jeremy Dean. “I’ve always been fascinated by how hard we can find it to make changes in our lives,” Dean says. “Why is it that people are constantly battling against themselves to make the smallest adjustments? Is it just down to lack of willpower or is there something else going on? “A large part of the answer, I discovered, is contained in the psychology of habits.”

The Routledge Intermediate Dutch Reader has been specially designed for upper intermediate learners of Dutch and comprises a broad selection of graded readings.

People with anorexia nervosa frequently deny that anything is wrong and reject offers for help. Often, by the time they admit that they have a problem the illness has a stronghold of their lives, with serious effects on their physical and psychological health.” Quantity

This part-cookbook, part-history book sheds light on the fascinating and delectable story of traditional Arab sweets. Filling the tables of Caliphs and noblemen, these sumptuous desserts of saffron and rose water exemplified the opulence and romance of the time. Bringing together 10th-14th century Arabic texts, the authors retrace the history of these sweet dishes, reviving the original recipes and following their development and influence over the centuries into non-Arabic speaking lands. Honey, dates, figs and pomegranates make for an exquisite selection of mouth-watering desserts for cooks to try at home, woven together with medieval poems and stories.

100 Per Cent Renewable

In Food, John Coveney examines â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;food asâ&#x20AC;Ś' humanness, identity, politics, industry, regulation, the environment and justice. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. Through food, we construct our social identities, our families and communities. But this Shortcut also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food, the environment, and the fair (or otherwise) worldwide distribution of food. It considers how the food industries, on which most of us have to rely, have also had direct effects on our bodies - whether through diet and longevity, or the development of illness and diseases. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential, symbolic, powerful and transformative food has come to be.

The greatest challenge of our time is to build a world based on the sustainable use of renewable power. A 100% renewable world is seen by many as an impossible dream in anything but the very long term. But not only do a growing number of initiatives and plans dare to make the change but many have already achieved it. This rich collection presents a series of pioneering efforts and their champions, and the paths to their successes. Ranging from initiatives by individuals to visions for companies, communities and entire countries, it defeats tired economic and technical counter-arguments, showing how the schemes featured not only can and do work but do so economically and with available technology.

Biohackers

Nature for Sale

The Politics of Open Science

The Commons Versus Commodities

Alessandro Delfanti, University of Milan, Italy.

Giovanna Ricoveri and Vandana Shiva was the winner of the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize.

Biohackers explores fundamental changes occuring in the circulation and ownership of scientific information. Alessandro Delfanti argues that the combination of the ethos of 20th century science, the hacker movement and the free software movement is producing an open science culture which redefines the relationship between researchers, scientific institutions and commercial companies. Biohackers looks at the emergence of the citizen biology community ‘DIYbio', the shift to open access by the American biologist Craig Venter and the rebellion of the Italian virologist Ilaria Capua against WHO data-sharing policies. Delfanti argues that these biologists and many others are involved in a transformation of both life sciences and information systems, using open access tools and claiming independence from both academic and corporate institutions.

Carolyn Merchant is professor of Environmental History, Philosophy, and Ethics in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley.

In this book of mathematical stories, the wellknown and highly esteemed author provides a surprisingly entertaining tour of unfamiliar territory. He describes stories about numbers, problems, people who do math, and the places where mathematical discoveries are made (such as desks, libraries, beds, and churches). You'll discover that counting can be quite difficult-for example, news reports claiming that "bees can count" show that journalists can't count and people who shun 13 must assume that gods can't count.

Nature for Sale uncovers the rich heritage of common ownership which existed before the dominance of capitalist property relations. Ricoveri argues that the subsistence commons of the past can be reinvented today to provide an alternative to the current destructive economic order. He outlines the distinct features of common ownership as it has existed in history: cooperation, sustainable use of natural resources and decision-making through direct democracy. In doing so, she shows how it is possible to provide goods and services which are not commodities exchanged on the capitalistic market, something still demonstrated today in village communities across the global South. The book concludes by arguing that a new commons is needed today. It will be essential reading for activists as well as students and academics in history, politics, economics and development studies.

Starting with a landmark discovery in 1995 by evolutionary anthropologist Brian Hare, a wunderkind who now leads the field, scientists have learned how dogs think. Then, Hare proved that his family’s dog was not only cleverer than any fox but also cleverer than any chimp. Now, Hare and science writer Vanessa Woods share all of the secrets of dogs’ uniquely evolved intelligence, how your dog is a genius, and how to understand your dog’s world. Authors Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods were interviewed on ABC Radio National’s Life Matters program, March 6th.

50,000 years ago - merely a blip in evolutionary time - our Homo sapiens ancestors were competing for existence with several other human species, just as their precursors had done for millions of years. Yet something about our species distinguished it from the pack, and ultimately led to its survival while the rest became extinct. Just what was it that allowed Homo sapiens to become Masters of the Planet? Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us deep into the fossil record to uncover what made humans so special. Surveying a vast field from initial bipedality to language and intelligence, Tattersall argues that Homo sapiens acquired a winning combination of traits that was not the result of long-term evolutionary refinement. Instead, the final result emerged quickly, shocking our world and changing it forever.
