Kosher Chinese

Neuromania, Darwinitis and the Misrepresentation of Humanity

Living, Teaching and Eating with China’s Other Billion

Raymond Tallis trained as a doctor before going on to become Professor of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Manchester. He was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences for his research in clinical neuroscience. He retired from medicine in 2006 to become a full-time writer. His most recent works include The Kingdom of Infinite Space (2008), Hunger (Acume, 2008) and Michelangelo’s Finger (2010).

Michael Levy is an educator, writer, and traveler. Levy returns frequently to Guiyang to check in on his students and visit the basketball courts where he momentarily attained stardom. While in the United States, he keeps strictly kosher. While in China, he eats anything with four legs except the table.

In a devastating critique Raymond Tallis exposes the exaggerated claims made for the ability of neuroscience and evolutionary theory to explain human consciousness, behaviour, culture and society and shows that human beings are infinitely more interesting and complex than they appear in the mirror of biologism. Tallis argues that the rise of biologism is a matter of profound concern. He demonstrates that by denying human uniqueness, and minimizing the differences between humans and their nearest animal kin, biologism misrepresents what we are, offering a grotesquely simplified and even degrading account of humanity, which has dire consequences: by seeing ourselves as animals we may find reasons for treating each other like them. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844652723, NZRP$54.95 Publish June 2011, 416 pages Acumen Publishing Quantity Popular Science

In September of 2005, the Peace Corps sent Michael Levy to teach English in the heart of China’s heartland. His hosts in the city of Guiyang found additional uses for him: resident expert on Judaism, romantic adviser, and provincial basketball star, to name a few. His account of overcoming vast cultural differences to befriend his students and fellow teachers is by turns poignant and laugh-outloud funny. The author also discovered that the “other billion” (people living far from the coastal cities covered by the American media) have a complex relationship with both their own traditions and the rapid changes of modernization. Lagging behind in China’s economic boom, they experience the darker side of “capitalism with Chinese characteristics,” daily facing the schizophrenia of conflicting ideologies. Kosher Chinese is an illuminating account of the lives of the residents of Guiyang, particularly the young people who will soon control the fate of the world. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780805091960, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 256 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity 9 780805 091960 Memoir

The Face of Courage

The Neurotourist

Eric Kennington, Portraiture and the Second World War

Postcards from the Edge of Brain Science

Dr. Jonathan Black has been a Senior Research Fellow in History of Art at Kingston University since 2008. His most recent publications include: The Graphic Art of Eric Kennington (UCL, 2001); The Sculpture of Eric Kennington (Lund Humphries, 2002); Form, Feeling and Calculation: the Paintings and Drawings of Edward Wadsworth (PWP, 2005); Dora Gordine: Artist, Sculptor, Designer (PWP, 2008).

Lone Frank is an award-winning journalist, science writer, and TV presenter. She holds a PhD in neurobiology, and has worked as a research scientist in Denmark and the US. Apart from a particularly ‘cute’ corpus callosum, she has an expert’s word that her brain is quite unremarkable.

The powerful, poignant and unforgettable portraits of soldiers in charcoal and pastel Eric Kennington produced during the Second World War established him as ‘among the most capable draughtsmen’ of the day. He was frequently mentioned by leading art critics as equal in skill to contemporaries such as Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sergeant. His work was routinely placed in the same class as such giants from the past as Botticelli, Van Eyck, Dürer, Hans Holbein the Younger, Cranach, Ingres and Goya. The incisive, crystalline quality of his draughtsmanship was especially admired, the variety of effects he could achieve with the subtlest change in pressure on a stick of charcoal or pastel. This book brings together a fine selection of Kennington’s war portraits, along with accounts of his sitters’ dramatic careers and the context of these works. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780856677052, NZRP$49.95 Publish June 2011, 160 pages Philip Wilson Publishers Art Quantity 9 780856 677052

Acclaimed journalist and intrepid brain “explorer” Lone Frank embarks on an incredible adventure to the frontiers of neuroscience to reveal how today’s top scientists are reinventing human nature, morality, happiness, health, and reality itself. Written in an irreverent and entertaining style, the author shares her bizarre experiences as a guinea pig in top brainresearch labs, while she disects cutting-edge researchers' work - for example, primatologist Mark Hauser and psychologist Susan Blackmore - and the implications for everyday life. Interlacing bizarre experiments, cuttingedge science, and irreverent interviews, The Neurotourist is an odyssey through the mind-bending revolution underway in the new age of the brain. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851687961, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 244 pages Oneworld Publications Popular Science Quantity

Alphabetter Juice

Dismantling the Empire

or, The Joy of Text

America's Last Best Hope

Roy Blount Jr. is the author of twenty-one previous books, covering a vast range of subjects.

Chalmers Johnson is a bestselling author.

After his twenty-first book, Alphabet Juice (2008), it finally seemed Roy Blount Jr. had gotten over his ABC’s. But a single glass of Juice could never contain the etymological goulash that always simmers on the back burner of Blount’s mind. Thus, Alphabetter Juice, a second helping of Blount’s dexterous wordplay and linguistic legerdemain. Rather than proper English, Blount prescribes an “over-the-counter” mélange of a language, unearthing a slew of factoids, fripperies, and flabbergasting phenomena that will change the way you speak - or misspeak. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374103705, NZRP$39.95 Publish June 2011, 384 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Popular Linguistics

This account puts the legendary figure of Guy Debord back into the context of the other fascinating figures who made up the movement, including Constant, Asger Jorn, Michèle Bernstein and Jacqueline De Jong.

Il Duce and His Women

The True Story of the Chilean Mining Disaster and the Extraordinary Rescue at Camp Hope

1883 - 1937

Chilean journalist Manuel Pino was one of the first reporters at the disaster site.

The figure of Benito Mussolini looms large as one of the most influential during the first half of the twentieth century. But who is the real Benito Mussolini? Il Duce and His Women charts the main events in Mussolini’s private and public life, from his humble beginnings in Romagna as the son of a blacksmith to his years as the director of a leading Socialist newspaper and his irresistible rise to power, with a particular focus on his renowned appetite for women, and the lesserknown influence they had on his decision-making. The result is a riveting account that will shock and haunt the readers for a long time. $54.95 Hb, ISBN 9781846881350, NZRP$64.95 Publish June 2011, 450 pages Alma Quantity Biography

On August 5, 2010, a tunnel in the mine in the Atacama Desert in Chile collapsed, with all of its miners trapped underground. Televisions flashed images of worried families holding vigil and of Chile’s newly elected president making their recovery his personal crusade. What the cameras didn’t reveal was the behind-the-scenes intrigue. Manuel Pino, drawing on direct access to the miners and their families, weaves a rich narrative of extraordinary survival and triumph. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230115156, NZRP$49.95 Publish June 2011, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History

This lecture, given by Michel Foucault at the Collège de France, launches an inquiry into the notion of parresia and continues his rereading of ancient philosophy. Through the study of this notion of truth-telling, of speaking out freely, Foucault re-examines Greek citizenship, showing how the courage of the truth forms the forgotten ethical basis of Athenian democracy. The figure of the philosopher king, the condemnation of writing, and Socrates’ rejection of political involvement are some of the many topics of ancient philosophy revisited here. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781403986672, NZRP$34.95 Publish June 2011, 424 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Philosophy

In his prophetic book Blowback, published before 9/11, Chalmers Johnson warned that our secret operations in Iraq and elsewhere around the globe would exact a price at home. Now, in a brilliant series of essays written over the last three years, Johnson measures that price and the resulting dangers America faces. Dismantling the Empire explores the subjects for which Johnson is now famous, from the origins of blowback to Barack Obama’s Afghanistan conundrum. There is, he proposes, only one way out: President Obama must begin to dismantle America’s empire of bases before the Pentagon dismantles the American dream. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780805094237, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 224 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

The Last Storytellers

Resurrecting Pompeii

Tales from the Heart of Morocco

Estelle Lazer, University of Sydney, Australia.

Richard Hamilton has worked for the BBC World Service as a broadcast journalist since 1998.

Resurrecting Pompeii provides an in-depth study of a unique site from antiquity with information about a population who all died from the same known cause within a short period of time. Early scholars working in Pompeii and other sites associated with the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius were seduced by the wealth of artefacts and wall paintings yielded by the site. This meant that the less visually attractive evidence, such as human skeletal remains, were largely ignored. Recognizing the important contribution of the human skeletal evidence to the archaeology of Pompeii, Resurrecting Pompeii remedies that misdemeanour, and provides an essential resource in the study of this fascinating historical event. $54.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415666336, NZRP$64.95 Publish June 2011, 408 pages Routledge Quantity History/Archaeology

Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco’s ancient storytelling tradition. For over a thousand years, storytellers have gathered in 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. Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of this rich and captivating tradition and has tracked down the last few remaining storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries and beauty of the Maghreb. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848854918, NZRP$49.95 Publish June 2011, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Travel

Washington Rules is Andrew J. Bacevich’s bestselling challenge to the conventional wisdom that American security requires the United States (and they alone) to maintain a permanent armed presence around the globe, to prepare our forces for military operations in far-flung regions, and to be ready to intervene anywhere at any time. With vivid, incisive analysis, Bacevich assails and exposes the preconceptions, biases, and habits that underlie this pervasive faith in military might, especially the notion that overwhelming superiority will oblige others to accommodate America’s needs and desires - whether for cheap oil, cheap credit, or cheap consumer goods. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780805094220, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 304 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

In What Photography Is, James Elkins examines the strange and alluring power of photography in the same provocative and evocative manner that he explored oil painting in his best-selling What Painting Is. Elkins argues that photograpy is also about meaninglessness - its apparently endless capacity to show us things that we do not want or need to see - and pain - extremely powerful images that can sear into our consciousness permanently. Extensively illustrated with a surprising range of images, Elkins demonstrates that what makes photography uniquely powerful is its ability to express the difficulty - physically, psychologically, emotionally, and aethstically - of the act of seeing. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415995696, NZRP$49.95 Publish June 2011, 226 pages Routledge Photography Quantity

The New Wittgenstein Debate

One of the rising stars of US critical theory, Bruno Bosteels discusses the new currents of thought represented by figures such as Badiou, Rancière and Zizek, who are spearheading the recent revival of interest in communism. Bosteels examines this resurgence of communist thought through the prism of “speculative leftism” - an incapacity to move beyond lofty abstractions and thoroughly rethink the categories of masses, classes and state. Debating those questions with writers including Roberto Esposito and Alberto Moreiras, Bosteels also provides a vital account of the work of the Bolivian Vice President and thinker Alvaro García Linera. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844676958, NZRP$37.00 Publish June 2011, 256 pages Verso History & Philosophy Quantity

Alexander R. Pruss, Baylor University, USA.

Actuality, Possibility and Worlds is an exploration of the Aristotelian account that sees possibilities as grounded in causal powers. The notion of possible worlds appears to be useful for many purposes, such as the analysis of counterfactuals or elucidating the nature of propositions and properties. On his way to that account, Pruss surveys a number of historical approaches and argues that logicist approaches to possibility are implausible. $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441142047, NZRP$67.00 Publish June 2011, 320 pages Continuum History & Philosophy

John Calvin (1509-1564) is one of the most important figures in religious history. Sitting on the cusp of the medieval and early modern world, he was centre stage during the Reformation. In this new biography, Michael Mullett introduces us to this most important figure, tying his life together with that of Martin Luther, but also valuing his individual contribution and influence. Looking not only at the impact of Calvin throughout the early modern period and the importance of his work to contemporaries, Michael Mullett also assesses the impact that Calvin’s works have had in shaping the modern world, and the relevance that they still have today. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415476997, NZRP$43.00 Publish June 2011, 296 pages Routledge History & Philosophy Quantity

In the early 20th century, Argentina possessed one of the world’s most prosperous economies, yet since then Argentina has suffered a series of boomand-bust cycles that have seen it fall well behind its regional neighbours. At the same time, despite the lack of significant ethnic or linguistic divisions, Argentina has failed to create an over-arching postindependence national identity. In this book, Jill Hedges analyses the modern history of Argentina from the adoption of the 1853 constitution until the present day, exploring political, economic and social aspects of Argentina’s recent past. $57.00 Hb, ISBN 9781848856547, NZRP$71.00 Publish June 2011, 336 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History & Philosophy

The Story of Britain’s Afghan Wars

Seyed Mohammad Ali Taghavi, University of Hull.

Britain’s military involvement in Afghanistan is a contentious subject, yet it is often forgotten that the current conflict is in fact the fourth in a string of such wars dating back more than 170 years. Aiming to protect British India from the expanding Russian empire, the British fought a series of conflicts on Afghan territory between 1838 and 1919. In his new book, Jules Stewart explores the potential danger of replaying Britain’s military catastrophes and considers what can be learnt from revisiting the story of these earlier Afghan wars. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848857179, NZRP$55.00 Publish June 2011, 272 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers History & Philosophy

The story of the British Empire in the twentieth century is one of decline, disarray, and despondency - or so we have been told. In this fresh and controversial account of Britain’s end of empire, Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon rejects this consensus, showing instead that in the years 1945-1960 the British government developed a successful imperial strategy based on devolving power to indigenous peoples within the Commonwealth. This strategy was calculated to allow decolonization to occur on British terms rather than those of the indigenous populations, and to thus keep these soon-to-be former colonies within the British and Western spheres of influence during the Cold War. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230248731, NZRP$49.00 Publish June 2011, 392 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History & Philosophy

In A People’s History of Poverty in America, political scientist Stephen Pimpare brings the human lives and real-life stories of those who struggle with poverty in America to the foreground, vividly describing life as poor and welfare-reliant Americans experience it, from the big city to the rural countryside. Prodigiously researched, A People’s History of Poverty in America unearths rich, poignant, and often surprising testimonies both heart-wrenching and humorous - that range from the early days of the United States to the present day. $38.00 Pb, ISBN 9781595586728, NZRP$42.00 Publish June 2011, 336 pages The New Press History & Philosophy

These essays from the 1970s mark the inception of the distinctive project that Jacques Rancière has pursued across forty years, with four interwoven themes: the study of working-class identity, of its philosophical interpretation, of “heretical” knowledge and of the relationship between work and leisure. Rancière characteristically combines telling historical detail with deep insight into the development of the popular mind. In a new preface, he explains why such “rude words” as “people,” “factory,” “proletarians” and “revolution” still need to be spoken. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844676972, NZRP$58.00 Publish June 2011, 192 pages Verso History & Philosophy

Politics and Philosophy

Witness to the German Revolution

Niccolo Machiavelli and Louis Althusser’s Aleatory Materialism

Victor Serge (1889-1947) was a leading member of the Left Opposition in its struggle against Stalin, a cause which ultimately resulted in his exile from Russia.

Seeking to challenge the prevailing views on Althusser through examining his interpretation of Machiavelli, Lahtinen argues that existing scholarship has approached this topic solely from a philosophical perspective, excluding politics altogether. The main argument is that, for Althusser, it was essential to reflect on how a conjunctural understanding of history could offer a theoretical starting point for political strategy. $42.00 Pb, ISBN 9781608461233, NZRP$53.00 Publish June 2011, 351 pages Haymarket Books History & Philosophy Quantity

Alain Badiou takes on the standard bearer of the “linguistic turn” in modern philosophy, and anatomizes the “anti-philosophy” of Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Addressing the crucial moment where Wittgenstein argues that much has to be passed over in silence - showing what cannot be said, after accepting the limits of language and meaning - Badiou argues that this mystical act reduces logic to rhetoric, truth to an effect of language games, and philosophy to a series of esoteric aphorisms. Badiou sets out and refines his own definitions of the universal truths that condition philosophy. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844676941, NZRP$38.00 Publish June 2011, 128 pages Verso History & Philosophy Quantity

The Case for Sanctions Against Israel

The Good War

Roane Carey is the Managing Editor of the Nation.

NATO and the Liberal Conscience in Afghanistan

Israel’s murderous assault on the peace flotilla, and the continuing blockade of Gaza, has led many to despair of the official Middle East “peace process” - if it ever had been pursued in earnest, it lies in tatters after the second Lebanon War, the Gaza War, and the continuing expansion of illegal settlements. As a result of this ongoing bloodshed and diplomatic deadlock, the movement for a boycott, sanctions and divestment (BDS) campaign has been building in strength within Israel and Palestine, and is now spreading to Europe and the US. This essential intervention considers all sides of the argument and has contributions from both sides of the Separation Wall, along with a stellar list of international commentators. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844674503, NZRP$29.00 Publish June 2011, 224 pages Verso Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

This book collects the key essays, together with updating notes and commentary, of Professor John Mueller on war and the role of ideas and opinions. Mueller has maintained that war (and peace) are, in essence, merely ideas, and that war has waned as the notion that ‘peace’ is a decidedly good idea has gained currency. The book extends this argument, noting that as ideas have spread, war is losing out not only in the developed world, but now in the developing one, and that even civil war is in marked decline. It also assesses and critiques theories arguing that this phenomenon is caused by the rising acceptance of democracy and/or capitalism. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415781770, NZRP$72.00 Publish June 2011, 272 pages Routledge Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Far from an impermeable wall fixed by whites, race opened up a moral gray zone that enterprising blacks manipulated to whatever advantage they could obtain. The Clamorgans is a remarkable counterpoint to the central claim of whiteness studies, namely that race as a social construct was manipulated by whites to justify discrimination. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9780809095179, NZRP$54.95 Publish June 2011, 448 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Biography

Antonia Pozzi (1912-38) is one of the most original voices in twentieth-century Italian literature.

Peter Benson has published novels, short stories, screenplays and poetry, some adapted for TV, radio and many translated into other languages.

After her tragic death in December 1938 at the early age of twenty-six, Antonia Pozzi’s poems - which she had been secretly writing for years were brought to light and became the object of great critical attention. Since then, her reputation has risen steadily, and she is now considered one of the greatest Italian poets of the twentieth century. Acclaimed for the terseness and simplicity of her language, her poems show an acute power of observation and deep psychological introspection, revealing a mind akin to Emily Dickinson’s and Sylvia Plath’s, but also a unique and unmistakeably original voice. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491855, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 144 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity

Wilhelm Meister

The Water Theatre

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) was one of the greatest German writers.

Lindsay Clarke is the author of seven novels, including The Chymical Wedding, which won the Whitbread Award for Fiction in 1989.

Seduced by the chimerical world of the theatre and taking upon himself the grand ambition of becoming a successful performer and dramatist, the merchant’s son Wilhelm Meister embarks on a tumultuous quest of self-discovery. Along his path he finds himself having to negotiate love, desire and the need to face up to his own past and responsibilities. A landmark in the history of European literature, Goethe’s novel is not only one of the key works of Weimar Classicism and the prototype for the Bildungsroman genre, but also a timeless tale of coming into one’s own and a fascinating portrayal of the late-eighteenth-century theatre world. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490513, NZRP$34.95 Publish June 2011, 640 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

The Very Thought of You

An Extraordinary Story of Friendship in a Midwife’s House in Mali

Rosie Alison's The Very Thought of You was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2010.

Kris Holloway served as a development volunteer in Mali, West Africa, from 1989 to 1991. Monique Dembele saves lives and dispenses hope in a place where childbirth is a life-and-death matter. Her unquenchable passion to improve the lot of the women and children in her West African village is matched by her buoyant humour in the face of unhappy marriage and backbreaking work. This is the deeply compelling story of the rare friendship between a young development volunteer and this midwife who defies tradition and becomes - too early in her own life - a legend. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851688371, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 256 pages Oneworld Publications Fiction Quantity

As war-reporter Martin Crowther arrives in Umbria, a storm hits and the sky opens.

Adam and Marina are the estranged children of his mentor, Hal Brigshaw, who is nearing the end of a turbulent life and wants to summon them home. But there are good reasons for their self-imposed exile, and not all of them are understood, and not all are in the past. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881305, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 450 pages Alma Fiction

Monique and the Mango Rains

In this fantastically original debut collection, Daniel Orozco leads the reader through the secret lives and moral philosophies of bridge painters, men housebound by obesity, office temps, and warehouse workers. The stories are formally inventive: a love affair blooms between two officers in the impartially worded pages of a police blotter; a new employee’s first-day office tour includes descriptions of other workers’ most private thoughts and actions; during an earthquake, the consciousness of the entire state of California shakes free for examination. Each story in the collection has a gut-punch impact, softened only by lyricism and black humor. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9780865478534, NZRP$34.95 Publish June 2011, 176 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Fiction

Specially written by an experienced teacher for self-study or classroom use, the course offers you a step-by-step approach to the written and spoken language. No prior knowledge of the language is required. These packs contain the book and two CDs. Recorded by native speakers, they provide every opportunity to perfect pronunciation, listening and speaking skills.

The government of Egypt banned Inside Egypt in 2008 - the first time a book on Egyptian politics had been banned in the country in decades - and quickly rescinded it after the media firestorm that followed. In Inside Egypt, Bradley’s examines the junctions of Egyptian politics and society as they slowly disintegrate under the twin pressures of a ruthless military dictatorship at home and a flawed Middle East policy in Washington.

Selected Late Poems

Poems

Charles Wright is a prize-winning writer.

Maureen N. McLane’s essays have appeared in numerous publications.

Bye-and-Bye, which brings together selections from Wright’s more recent work - including the entirety of Littlefoot, Wright’s moving, book-length meditation on mortality - showcases the themes and images that have defined his mature work: the true affinity between writer and subject, human and nature; the tenuous relationship between description and actuality; and the search for a truth that transcends change and death. Bye-and-Bye is a wonderful introduction to the late work of one of America’s finest and best-loved poets. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780374117580, NZRP$49.95 Publish June 2011, 384 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Poetry Quantity

In World Enough, Maureen N. McLane maps a universe of feeling and thought via skyscapes, city strolls, lunar vistas, and passages through environments given and built. These poems explore how we come to know ourselves - sensually, intellectually, politically, biologically, historically, and anthropologically. Shuttling between idyll and disaster, between old forms and open experiment, these are restless, probing, exacting poems that aim to take the measure of - and to give a measure for - where we are. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374532789, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 144 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Poetry

An Anthology

Intense verbal music with a jazz feeling; invention against the grain of expectation; intelligence racing among materials with the variety of a busy street - these have been the qualities of Robert Pinsky’s work since his first book,Sadness and Happiness (1975), celebrated for setting a new direction in American poetry. At that time, responding to a question about that book, Pinsky said: “I would like to write a poetry which could contain every kind of thing, while keeping all the excitement of poetry.” That ambition was realized in a new way with each of his books, and that variety and renewal are represented in this brilliantly chosen volume. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374258603, NZRP$39.95 Publish June 2011, 224 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry

Maggot

Poems

Adam Zagajewski’s previous books include Tremor; Canvas; Mysticism for Beginners; Without End; Solidarity; Solitude; Two Cities; Another Beauty; A Defense of Ardor; and Eternal Enemies.

Paul Muldoon is the author of ten books of poetry, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Moy Sand and Gravel.

One of the most gifted poets of our time, Adam Zagajewski is a contemporary classic. Few writers in poetry or prose have attained the lucid intelligence and limpid economy of style that are the trademarks of his work. His wry humor, gentle skepticism, and perpetual sense of history’s dark possibilities have earned him a devoted international following. This collection finds the poet returning to the themes that have defined his career - moving meditations on place, language, and history. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9780374280895, NZRP$34.95 Publish June 2011, 112 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry

In his eleventh full-length book, Muldoon reminds us that he is a traditional poet who is steadfastly at odds with tradition. If the poetic sequence is the main mode of Maggot, it certainly isn’t your father’s poetic sequence. Taking as a starting point W. B. Yeats’s remark that the only fit topics for a serious mood are “sex and the dead,” Muldoon finds unexpected ways of thinking and feeling about what it means to come to terms with the early twenty-first century. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780374200329, NZRP$39.95 Published September 2010, 144 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Poetry

Wait finds C. K. Williams by turns ruminative, stalked by “the conscience-beast, who harries me,” and “riven by idiot vigor, voracious as the youth I was / for whom everything always was going too slowly, too slowly.” Poems about animals and rural life are set hard by poems about shrapnel in Iraq and sudden desire on the Paris métro. What they share is their setting in the cool, spacious, spotlit, book-lined place that is Williams’s consciousness, a place whose workings he has rendered for fifty years with inimitable candor and style. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374532765, NZRP$24.95 Publish June 2011, 144 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry

This book suggests that the names given to God in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and the Qur’an, could be the very foundations and building blocks for a common language between the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths. On both a formal interfaith level, as well as between everyday followers of each doctrine, this book facilitates a more fruitful and universal understanding and respect of each sacred text; exploring both the commonalities and differences between each theology and their individual receptions. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441153562, NZRP$58.00 Publish June 2011, 208 pages Continuum Quantity Society & Culture

Reflections of German Jewry

Towards a Critical Sociology

Portraits and Self-Portraits

An Essay on Commonsense and Imagination

Paul Reitter, Ohio State University, USA.

Zygmunt Bauman.

German Jewry. Among other things - or rather, above all - the term evokes creativity and destruction. This book is about both sides of that dichotomy, and also the links between them. It is about the German Jews - e.g., Heine, Freud, and Lessing - whose accomplishments have played such a significant role in shaping our modern sensibilities. And it is about the figures and forces e.g., Hitler, Jew hatred, and racism - that effectively wiped out the Jewish presence in Germany. The book is, as well, about how the pressures generated by anti-Semitism and the experience of exile helped at a terrible price to drive German Jewry to its intellectual successes. $44.00 Hb, ISBN 9781441166852, NZRP$55.00 Publish June 2011, 208 pages Continuum Quantity Society & Culture

For the better part of its history sociology shared with commonsense its assumption of the ‘naturelike’ character of society - and consequently developed as the science of unfreedom. In this powerful and engaging work, first published in 1976, Professor Bauman outlines the historical roots of such a science and describes how the new trends in sociology emerging from phenomenology and existentialism do not challenge this preoccupation. Rather, he claims, they deepen and extend it by stressing the key role of commonsense, particularly the ways in which it is sustained and embedded in the routines and assumptions of everyday life. $54.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415573108, NZRP$68.00 Publish June 2011, 116 pages Routledge Quantity Society & Culture

Today, lawyers, judges, and lay jurors face a vast array of visual evidence and visual argument. But when law migrates to the screen it lives there as other images do, motivating belief and judgment on the basis of visual delight and unconscious fantasies and desires as well as actualities. To meet this crisis, this book offers both a cultural diagnostic, identifying the contemporary cultural conditions in which law lives as a digital image on the screen, and a normative response, arguing for an affirmative, post-positivist jurisprudential paradigm that is adequate to the challenge these conditions present. $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415612937, NZRP$67.00 Publish June 2011, 368 pages Quantity Routledge Society & Culture

'The world will never be the same!' How many times have human beings uttered this cry after a tragic event? This book analyzes how such emotive reactions impact on the way religion is understood, exploring theological responses to human tragedy and cultural shock by focusing on reactions to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the two World Wars and the Holocaust, the 2004 South-East Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. It discusses themes such as the theodicy question, the function of religious discourse in the face of tragedy, and the relationship between religion and politics. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441132390, NZRP$58.00 Publish June 2011, 200 pages Continuum Quantity Society & Culture

Award-winning Catholic scholar Phyllis Zagano investigates three distinct situations in the Catholic Church, each pointing to Catholicism’s global weak spot: the role of women in the Church. Each of the three cases reflects the tension between communion and authority, particularly where women are concerned. The thread of women in the church weaves a tapestry that sheds light on the Catholic Church’s hierarchically-imposed laws and sanctions designed to keep women at a distance from the holy, whether as liturgical ministers, as wives of priests, or as priests themselves. $42.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230111646, NZRP$53.00 Publish June 2011, 224 pages Palgrave Macmillan Society & Culture

Hal Foster, Princeton University. Hal Foster, author of the acclaimed Design and Crime, argues that a fusion of architecture and art has become a defining feature of contemporary culture. While architects such as Zaha Hadid and Herzog and de Meuron draw on art to reanimate design, architecture has inspired fundamental transformations in painting, sculpture and film, which are also explored here.

Nick Attfield, University of Oxford. Dinosaur Jr.'s You’re Living All Over Me was the result of a move into a college dorm, encounters with Sonic Youth in the big city, and a hell of a lot of practice. Searing guitar riffs smash into mountainous solos; gnarly pedal effects light up twisted song structures; tight punk drumfills wade through distorted bass sludge. Contradictions are everywhere, but with opposite poles forced together, a fixating spark is created – one that, pre-Nirvana, ignites the idea of how the alternative might also become the mainstream. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441187789, NZRP$25.00 Publish June 2011, 144 pages Continuum The Arts

Guillermo Gómez-Peña is a performance artist, writer, activist, and educator, and Roberto Sifuentes is an interdisciplinary artist founding member of La Pocha Nostra.

A sweeping new study, Beyond and Before considers the high period of the early to mid1970s, where there was widespread acceptance of the ‘progressive’ approach of detailed instrumentation, extended tracks and conceptual linkage and development across albums. Hegarty and Halliwell assess the roots of progressive rock, arguing convincingly that a fusion of styles, approaches and genres defined the 1970s period, and the authors develop tools to assess other, later progressive musics. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9780826423320, NZRP$37.00 Publish June 2011, 320 pages Continuum The Arts Quantity

Over the last five years, a cycle of films has emerged addressing the ongoing Iraq conflict. Some became well-known and one of them, The Hurt Locker, won a string of Oscars.

Among the issues he examines are the borrowing of soldiers’ YouTube styles of self-representation to generate an ‘authentic’ Iraq experience, and how they take refuge in ‘apolitical’ post-traumatic stress disorder. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331294, NZRP$55.00 Publish June 2011, 224 pages Pluto The Arts

Visuality in the Theatre

Redefining Ethics for the Twenty-First Century Museum

Maaike Bleeker, Utrecht University, Netherlands.

The Locus of Looking Visuality in the Theatre proposes a new theoretical approach to the dynamics of looking engendered in the theatre. Visuality, this book argues, is not something we look at but something that we create by looking. Visuality is an embodied experience involving more than just the optical senses. Bleeker offers a ‘dissection of visuality’, pointing to the close relationship between the mediations of the theatre and performance and apparatuses of vision (in both the dramatic theatre and its deconstruction on the contemporary stage). $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230300842, NZRP$55.00 Publish June 2011, 248 pages Palgrave Macmillan The Arts

Dialogue is a many-sided critical concept; at once an ancient philosophical genre, a formal component of fiction and drama, a model for the relationship of writer and reader, and a theoretical key to the nature of language. In this clear and concise guide to the multiple significance of the term, Peter Womack: outlines the history of dialogue form, looking at Platonic, Renaissance, Enlightenment and Modern examples; illustrates the play of dialogue in the many ‘voices’ of the novel, and considers how dialogue works on the stage; interprets the influential dialogic theories of Mikhail Bakhtin; examines the idea that literary study itself consists of a ‘dialogue’ with the past; and presents a useful glossary and further reading section. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415329224, NZRP$38.00 Publish June 2011, 164 pages Routledge Quantity Literature

Theories of intertextuality suggest that meaning in a text can only ever be understood in relation to other texts; no work stands alone but is interlinked with the tradition that came before it and the context in which it is produced. This idea of intertextuality is crucial to understanding literary studies today. Graham Allen deftly introduces the topic and relates its significance to key theories and movements in the study of literature. Looking at intertextuality in relation to structuralism, poststructuralism, deconstruction, postcolonialism, Marxism, feminism and psychoanalytic theory, this is a fascinating and useful guide for all students of literature and culture. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415596947, NZRP$38.00 Publish June 2011, 272 pages Routledge Quantity Literature

Each of us is highly skilled at designing our turns at talk, and meshing them with those of the people around us. Conversation analysis is the study of just how that is done, and how the choreography of conversation brings off the business we conduct with each other. This volume collects together some of the most exciting developments in CA as it is applied to intervention programmes in medical communication, speech therapy, mediation, welfare interviewing, surveying, telephone helplines and other insitutional encounters. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230229969, NZRP$58.00 Publish June 2011, 304 pages Palgrave Macmillan Literature

The post-war redevelopment of London has been the most extensive in its history, and has been accompanied by a dramatic social and cultural upheaval. This book explores the literary re-imagining of the city in post-war fiction and argues that the image, history, and narrative of the city has been transformed alongside the physical rebuilding and repositioning of the capital. Drawing on the ideas of Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre, Anthony Vigler and others as well as the latest work on urban representation, this book is an important contribution to the study of the intersection between place, lived experience, and the literary imagination. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9780826426734, NZRP$72.00 Publish June 2011, 192 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

Why Literature? offers a conception of the value of literary reading that demonstrates its importance for psychological and social well-being, and works out the implications of that conception for how we teach literature in universities. At the heart of this book is the distinction between reading for pleasure and academic reading. In attempting to construct a conception of literary value resonant with the experiences of those who read for pleasure, this book asserts the importance of a place in literary education for what students experience when they read. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441124654, NZRP$43.00 Publish June 2011, 176 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

The Basics

Marion Milner (1900-1998) was a distinguished British psychoanalyst.

Joseph Holden, University of Leeds, UK.

Eternity’s Sunrise explores Marion Milner’s way of keeping a diary. Recording small private moments, she builds up a store of ‘bead memories’.

Instead of drawing on her daily diary, she turns to memory images images not only from her own life but also from books, mythology, travel and religion that seem to point to a suspension of ordinary, everyday awareness.

Causes, Consequences, and Solutions

How often do we ask ourselves, ‘What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?’ In A Life of One’s Own Marion Milner explores these questions and embarks on a seven year personal journey to discover what it is that makes her happy. Using her own personal diaries, kept over many years, she analyses moments of everyday life and discovers ways of being, of looking, of moving, that bring surprising joy - ways which can be embraced by anyone. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415550659, NZRP$39.95 Publish June 2011, 224 pages Routledge Health & Lifestyle

The book reviews the science of climate change and explains why it is one of the most difficult problems humanity has ever tackled. The book explores the politicization of the topic, the polarization of opinion, and the reasons why, for some, science has become just another ideology to be contested. How do humans assess risk? Why are they are so bad at focusing on the future? How can we solve the problem of climate change? These are the questions this work answers. $14.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415892032, NZRP$17.95 Publish June 2011, 104 pages Routledge Science & Environment
