How Italian Food Conquered the World
A Blueprint for Reforming Our Economies
John Mariani is a food and travel columnist for Esquire, wine columnist and radio/ TV reporter for Bloomberg News, contributing editor at Wine Spectator, and food columnist for Diversion. He has also written for Town & Country, Delta Sky, and has a newsletter that goes out to 40,000 subscribers. He was the winner of the 2009 National Magazine Award and was nominated for the James Beard Journalism Award.
Sebastian Dullien is a Professor of International Economics at HTW Berlin University of Applied Sciences. Hansjörg Herr is a Professor at the Berlin School of Economics. He is the author of one of Germany’s leading economics text books. Christian Kellermann is the Director of the Nordic Office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) in Stockholm. The recent crisis, created by finance capitalism, has brought us to the economic abyss. The excessive freedom of international markets has rapidly transformed into international panic, with states struggling to rescue and bail out a globalised financial sector. Reform is promised by our leaders, but in governments dominated by financial interests there is little hope of meaningful change. Decent Capitalism argues for a response that addresses capitalism’s systemic tendency towards crisis, a tendency which is completely absent from the mainstream debate. The authors develop a concept of a moderated capitalism that keeps its core strengths intact while reducing its inherent destructive political force in our societies. This book argues that reforming the capitalist system will have to be far more radical than the current political discourse suggests. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331096, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2011, 256 pages Pluto Quantity Politics & Economics

Not so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man’s gruel - little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs. Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230104396, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2011, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Food 9 780230 104396
European Gardens
Latin America Diaries
History, Philosophy and Design
One of Time magazine’s “icons of the century”, Ernesto Che Guevara was born in Argentina in 1928. After graduating from medical school, he traveled throughout Latin America. After meeting Fidel Castro in Mexico, he joined the revolutionary forces that overthrew the Batista dictatorship in Cuba in 1959. He became a central leader of the Cuban revolutionary government and later led guerilla missions to Africa and Bolivia, where he was assassinated in 1967 on the orders of the CIA. His life has been dramatized in two recent popular movies: The Motorcycle Diaries (directed by Walter Salles, starring Gael Garcia Bernal) and Steven Soderbergh’s epic Che (starring Benicio Del Toro).
Tom Turner has won awards for his books from the UK Landscape Institute and from the American Society of Landscape Architects. He teaches on the undergraduate and masters programmes in garden history and landscape architecture at the University of Greenwich in London. Garden design and usage has been a feature of human civilisation as far back as Neolithic times, when the first gardens began to be used for residential, horticultural and sacred tasks. Tom Turner follows the entire history of the European garden from its prehistoric roots right up to the present day in this beautifully illustrated book. European Gardens is divided into ten periods of history and garden development, detailing the advancement of land usage for over 10,000 years. Some of the topics covered in this comprehensive book include the Egyptian gardens of the Pharaohs, the castle gardens of medieval times, eclectic gardens of the nineteenth century and abstract gardens of the last 100 years. The geographical scope of this book covers the whole of the European continent, and touches the garden designs of North Africa and the Middle East. Tom Turner is a skilled landscape architect and garden historian, who supports his engaging writing with his own detailed plans and diagrams. European Gardens also features almost 1,000 colour photographs from across the continent allowing the reader to see for themselves how the design and structure of gardens has developed over time. $79.95 Hb, ISBN 9780415496841, NZRP$85.95 Publish March 2011, 512 pages Routledge Quantity Landscape History 9 780415 496841

My Korean Deli
The Aftershocks of History
Risking It All for a Convenience Store
Laurent Dubois, Duke University.
Ben Ryder Howe has written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and Outside.
Even before last year’s earthquake destroyed much of the country, Haiti was known as a benighted place of poverty and corruption. Maligned and misunderstood, the nation has long been blamed by many for its own wretchedness. But as acclaimed historian Laurent Dubois demonstrates, Haiti’s troubles owe more to a legacy of international punishment for the original sin of staging the only successful slave revolt in the world. This is an indispensable book, revealing what lies behind the familiar moniker of “the poorest nation in the western hemisphere” and illuminating the foundations on which a new Haiti might yet emerge. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780805093353, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2011, 256 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity History

It starts with a gift, when Ben Ryder Howe’s wife, the daughter of Korean immigrants, decides to repay her parents’ self-sacrifice by buying them a store. Howe agrees to go along but things soon become a lot more complicated. My Korean Deli follows the store’s tumultuous life span, and along the way paints the portrait of an extremely unlikely partnership between characters with shoots across society, from the Brooklyn streets to Seoul to Puritan New England. Owning the deli becomes a transformative experience for everyone involved as they struggle to salvage the original gift while sorting out issues of values, work, and identity. $24.95 Hb, ISBN 9780805093438, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2011, 320 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity Memoir

The principle of the “lesser evil” - the acceptability of pursuing one exceptional course of action in order to prevent a greater injustice - has long been a cornerstone of Western ethical philosophy. From its roots in classical ethics and Christian theology, to Hannah Arendt’s exploration of the work of the Jewish Councils during the Nazi regime, Weizman explores its development in three key transformations of the problem: the defining intervention of Médecins Sans Frontières in mid-1980s Ethiopia; the separation wall in IsraelPalestine; and international and human rights law in Bosnia, Gaza and Iraq. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844676477, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2011, 224 pages Quantity Verso Politics

Bringing to bear a wealth of expertise on their subject, the authors look at the reality behind the pipeline’s gleaming façade.

How the City of Light Survived the Great Flood of 1910
The Catholic Origins of Holy Days, Holidays, and Everyday
Jeffrey H. Jackson, Rhodes College, Memphis.
Greg Tobin is the author of several books on the Catholic Church.
In the winter of 1910, the river that brought life to Paris - the Seine - became a force of destruction in a matter of hours. Torrential rainfall saturated the soil, and faulty engineering created conditions that soon drowned Parisian streets, homes, businesses, and museums, thrusting the City of Light into a battle with the elements. In breathtaking detail, Jeffrey Jackson captures here for the first time the epic story of the great flood. As the waters rise, so does the tension, but ultimately, the Parisians’ love of their city leads them to triumph over nature against all odds. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230108042, NZRP$29.95 Publish March 2011, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History

Chemical Warfare during the Vietnam War
The Yugo
Riot Control Agents in Combat
Jason Vuic, Bridgewater College, Virginia.
D. Hank Ellison has served in the US Army as an enlisted infantry soldier and a commissioned officer in the Chemical Corps.
Six months after its American introduction in 1985, the Yugo was a punch line; within a year, it was a staple of late-night comedy. By 2000, NPR’s Car Talk declared it “the worst car of the millennium.” And for most Americans that’s where the story begins and ends. Hardly. The short, unhappy life of the car, the men who built it, the men who imported it, and the decade that embraced and discarded it is rollicking and astounding, and one of the greatest untold business-cum-morality tales of the 1980s. $22.00 Pb, ISBN 9780809098958, NZRP$28.00 Publish March 2011, 272 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux History & Philosophy

The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece
A History of Gold and Money
Marguerite Rigoglioso, Dominican University of California.
Pierre Vilar was one of the most renowned of recent French historians.
Greek religion is filled with strange sexual artifacts - stories of mortal women’s couplings with gods, rituals like the basilinna’s “marriage” to Dionysus, beliefs in the impregnating power of snakes and deities, and more. In this provocative study, Marguerite Rigoglioso suggests these are remnants of an early Greek cult of divine birth. Scouring myth, legend, and history from a female-oriented perspective, she argues that many in the highest echelons of Greek civilization believed non-ordinary conception was the only means possible of bringing forth true leaders, and that special virgin priestesshoods were dedicated to this practice. $54.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230111325, NZRP$68.00 Publish March 2011, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History & Philosophy
Anyone interested in the changing sources and functions of gold and money in Western society will be enlightened and at times diverted by Vilar’s pioneering history. Beginning with a survey of the role of gold and the various currencies used in ancient and medieval societies, Vilar goes on to analyze the drive for gold and silver behind European voyages of discovery and conquest, and the subsequent impact on Western European economies of the influx of looted treasure. He concludes his comprehensive account with a fascinating discussion of the crisis of the 1920s. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844674770, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2011, 360 pages Verso Quantity History & Philosophy

This narrative of slave liberation and American independence highlights the pivotal role of the “first emancipation” in the French Antilles in the 1790s, the parallel action of slave resistance and metropolitan Abolitionism and the contradictory implications of slaveholder patriotism. The dramatic events of this epoch are examined from an unexpected vantage point, showing how the torch of anti-slavery passed from the medieval communes to dissident Quakers, from African maroons to radical pirates, from the black Jacobins to the Liberators of South America, and from the African Baptists in Jamaica to the Revolutionaries of 1848 in Europe and the Caribbean. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844674756, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2011, 560 pages Verso Quantity History & Philosophy

It brings fresh perspectives to our understanding of the BNP in order to make a significant contribution to scholarly debate on the nature of far right extremism both nationally and internationally.

For example: How does TV entertainment contribute to the democratic life of society? Why are Americans less informed about politics and international affairs than Europeans? And how should new communications technology and globalisation change our understanding of the democratic role of the media? Curran’s response to these and other questions provides both a clear introduction to media research and an innovative analysis written by one of the field’s leading scholars. $52.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415317078, NZRP$64.00 Publish March 2011, 304 pages Routledge Current Affairs & Politics Quantity
Second Edition Matthew J. Streb, Northern Illinois University. This critical examination of the rules and institutional arrangements that shape the American electoral process, analyzes the major debates that embroil scholars and reformers on subjects ranging from the number of elections we hold and the use of nonpartisan elections, to the presidential nominating process and campaign finance laws. Ultimately, Streb argues for a less burdensome democracy, a democracy in which citizens can participate more easily in transparent, competitive elections. $56.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415882026, NZRP$69.95 Publish March 2011, 272 pages Routledge Current Affairs & Politics

Lafayette

Lessons in Leadership from the Idealist General
Lessons in Leadership
Marc Leepson, historian, journalist and author. The Marquis de Lafayette is an icon of Americanand French-history. Lafayette’s life story is the stuff of legend. Born into an aristocratic French family of warriors, made lieutenant in the French Royal Guard at age 14, and married into the royal family at 16, he traveled to the colonies at his own expense to fight in the American Revolution. By age 20, he was embraced by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who became his life-long friends. Here, historian Marc Leepson delivers an insightful account of the great general, whose love of liberty and passionate devotion to American and French independence shines in the pages of history. $35.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230105041, NZRP$42.00 Publish March 2011, 224 pages Quantity Palgrave Macmillan Biography
Before he became “the Father of our Country,” George Washington was the Father of the American Army. He took troops that had no experience, no tradition, and no training, and fought a protracted war against the best, most disciplined force in the world - the British Army. Deftly handling the political realm, he left his mark with a vision of the Revolution as a war of attrition and his offensives which were as brilliant as they were unpredictable. In Washington, award-winning author Gerald M. Carbone argues that it is this sort of fearless but not reckless, spontaneous but calculated offensive that Washington should be remembered for - as a leader not of infallibility but of greatness. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230103665, NZRP$24.00 Publish March 2011, 224 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Biography

Strictly nonfiction - no dialogue or other material has been made up - and set in the dirt-poor Texas landscape that spawned the star-crossed outlaws, Paul Schneider's brilliantly researched and dramatically crafted tale begins with a daring jailbreak and ends with an ambush and shoot-out that consigns their bullet-riddled bodies to the crumpled front seat of a hopped-up getaway car. Without glamorizing the killers, or vilifying the cops, the book provides a complete picture of America's most famous outlaw couple and the culture that created them. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780805092356, NZRP$32.00 Published June 2010, 400 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity Biography
These are the words of IraqiGirl, a teenage girl blogging from the city of Mosul, Iraq, as the chaos and violence of military occupation unfold in the aftermath of the American invasion. In a narrative charged with anger, IraqiGirl wants her readers to understand what life is really like under military occupation. “Let’s go back,” she writes, “to my un-normal life.” And here IraqiGirl allows us to discover a story the Western media rarely allow us a glimpse of: the story of how the Iraq War has shattered lives and broken hearts. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781931859738, NZRP$24.95 Published 2009, 208 pages Haymarket Books Memoir Quantity

An Astronaut's Journerys
A Life
Michael Collins flew in both the Gemini 10 and Apollo 11 space missions in the 1960s.
Annie Cohen-Solal, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris.
The years that have passed since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft to the moon in July 1969 have done nothing to alter the fundamental wonder of the event. Michael Collins conveys, in a very personal way, the drama, beauty, and humor of that adventure. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences in the air force, through his days as a test pilot, to his Apollo 11 space walk, presenting an evocative picture of the joys of flight as well as a new perspective on time, light, and movement from someone who has seen the fragile Earth from the other side of the moon. $24.00 Pb, ISBN 9780374531942, NZRP$29.95 Published 2009, 512 pages Farrar Straus & Giroux Quantity Memoir
A major accomplishment of this biography is that it places Sartre in the context of history while at the same time reassessing the full import of his literary and political accomplishments. Discovering untold aspects of Sartre’s private and political life, Cohen-Solal weaves together all the elements of an exceptional career. From the fascinating description of his hitherto-unknown father to the painful last moments of Sartre’s own declining years, this is biography on the grandest scale, fully deserving of the praise it has received. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781565849747, NZRP$42.00 Published 2005, 624 pages The New Press Biography

Georges Bataille
The Odyssey of Ibn Battuta
An Intellectual Biography
Uncommon Tales of a Medieval Adventurer
Michel Surya is a writer, philosopher, editor and director of the journal Lignes.
David Waines, Lancaster University.
Georges Bataille (1897–1962) was a philosopher, writer and literary critic who had an enormous impact on the thinking of Foucault, Derrida and Baudrillard. In this acclaimed intellectual biography Michel Surya examines Bataille’s oeuvre against the backdrop of his life, showing that the essence of his life and work were defined by transience and effacement. His troubled childhood, his relationship with surrealism and his paradoxical position at the heart of twentieth-century French thought are vividly brought to life by testimonies from his closest acquaintances. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781859841532, NZRP$44.95 Published March 2010, 608 pages Verso Quantity Biography

Ibn Battuta was, without doubt, one of the world's truly great travellers. Born in fourteenth-century Morocco, and a contemporary of Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta has left us an account in his own words of his remarkable journeys throughout the Islamic world and beyond. Recounting the many miracles which its author claims to have experienced personally, his "al-rihla" or "Travelogue" is a fascinating mosaic of mysticism and reportage offering a prototype magic realism. David Waines discusses the subtleties of the "al-rihla", revealing all the wonders of Ibn Battuta's world to the modern reader. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9781845118051, NZRP$58.00 Published March 2010, 240 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Biography

Increasingly, people are going about the business of trying to reinvent their lives, their relationships, their identities, their bodies … anything they can reinvent, they will, all in an effort to be seen to be some kind of player.” Quantity – Russh Magazine, October 2010 $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415560702, NZRP$67.00

Smoke Portrait
His Own Version
Trilby Kent is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Exeter.
In Don Juan, Peter Handke offers his take on the famous seducer. Don Juan’s story - ”his own version” - is filtered through the consciousness of an anonymous narrator, a failed innkeeper and chef, into whose solitude Don Juan bursts one day. On each day of the week that follows, Don Juan describes the adventures he experienced on that same day a week earlier. The adventures are erotic, but Handke’s Don Juan is more pursued than pursuer. What makes his accounts riveting are the remarkable evocations of places and people, and the nature of his narration. This is, above all, a book about storytelling and its ability to burst the ordinary boundaries of time and space. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374532642, NZRP$23.00 Publish March 2011, 112 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Fiction

But the letters go astray, and are received instead by Marten, eager to discover the wide world outside his small village.

Traumatized by an accident which ‘involved something falling from the sky’ and leaves him eight and a half million pounds richer but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, Remainder’s hero spends his time and money obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past. But when this fails to quench his thirst for authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events, as his repetition addiction spirals out of control. A darkly comic meditation on memory, identity and history, Remainder is a parable for modern times. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881459, NZRP$24.00 Publish March 2011, 288 pages Alma Books Quantity Fiction

With an extreme right-wing cult in power, racial tensions have divided the country into the Varangians - those who consider themselves to be the original Aryan settlers of Russia - and the Khazars, the liberals and Jews driven out of Moscow by recent events. Living Souls follows the lives of four couples struggling to escape the chaos and stupidity of the war around them: a teenage girl who adopts a homeless man, a poet turned general separated from his lover, a provincial governor in love with one of the natives, and a legendary military commander who is sleeping with the enemy. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881268, NZRP$27.00 Publish March 2011, 550 pages Alma Books Quantity Fiction

As Hitler prepares to invade Poland, thousands of children are evacuated from London to escape the impending Blitz. Torn from her mother, eight-yearold Anna Sands is relocated with other children to a large Yorkshire estate which has been opened up to evacuees by Thomas and Elizabeth Ashton, an enigmatic childless couple. Soon Anna gets drawn into their unravelling relationship, seeing things that are not meant for her eyes – and finding herself part-witness and part-accomplice to a love affair, with unforeseen consequences. A story of love, loss and complicated loyalties, combining a sweeping narrative with subtle psychological observation, The Very Thought of You is a haunting and memorable debut. $22.00 Pb, ISBN 9781846881008, NZRP$24.95 Published April 2010, 352 pages Quantity Alma Fiction

Purgatory
All the Whiskey in Heaven
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is considered to be the father of Italian poetry and one of the greatest influences in world literature.
Selected Poems
Describing Dante’s second stage in his arduous journey to redemption, Purgatory features a host of unforgettable scenes and characters, and arguably some of the best poetry to be found in The Divine Comedy. Purgatory is presented here in a new verse translation by acclaimed poet and prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols, which perfectly captures the sense of elegy and melancholy that permeates this work. Also included are the original Italian text, extensive notes, illustrations and a critical apparatus focusing on Dante’s life and works. $25.00 Pb, ISBN 9781847491763, NZRP$33.00 Publish March 2011, 396 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity
Charles Bernstein is the author of forty books.
9 780374 532659
All the Whiskey in Heaven brings together Charles Bernstein’s best work from the past thirty years, an astonishing assortment of different types of poems. Yet despite the distinctive differences from poem to poem, Bernstein’s characteristic explorations of how language both limits and liberates thought are present throughout. Modulating the comic and the dark structural invention with buoyant soundplay, these challenging works give way to poems of lyric excess and striking emotional range. This is poetry for poetry’s sake, as formally radical as it is socially engaged, providing equal measures of aesthetic pleasure, hilarity, and philosophical reflection. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374532659, NZRP$30.00 Publish March 2011, 320 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry
The Suitcase
Pierce the Skin
Sergei Dovlatov (1941-90) was persecuted by the authorities because of his writings, which he could not publish in Russia, and ultimately forced into exile in the US.
Selected Poems, 1982-2007
Several years after emigrating from the USSR, the author discovers the battered suitcase he had brought with him gathering dust at the back of a wardrobe. The seemingly undistinguished items he finds inside take on a riotously funny life of their own as Dovlatov inventories the circumstances under which he acquired them. Imbued with a comic nostalgia and overlaid with Dovlatov’s characteristically dark-edged humour and wry power of observation, The Suitcase is a profoundly human, delightfully ironic novel from one of the finest satirists of the twentieth century. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491787, NZRP$24.00 Publish March 2011, 250 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction
Henri Cole is the recipient of many awards, and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
9 780374 532666
Cole’s most recent poems have a daring sensitivity and imagistic beauty unlike anything on the American scene today. Pierce the Skin brings together sixty-six poems from the past twentyfive years, including work from Cole’s early, closely observed, virtuosic books, long out of print, as well as his important more recent books. The result is a collection reconsecrating Cole’s central themes: the desire for connection, the contingencies of selfhood and human love, the dissolution of the body, the sublime renewal found in nature, and the distance of language from experience. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374532666, NZRP$28.00 Publish March 2011, 160 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry
A Young Doctor’s Notebook
Silk Parachute
Mikhail Bulgakov trained as a doctor, but gave up medicine to concentrate on literature.
John McPhee is a staff writer at The New Yorker.
In this collection of short stories, drawing heavily from the author’s own experiences as a medical graduate on the eve of the Russian Revolution, Bulgakov describes a young doctor’s turbulent and often brutal introduction to his practice in the backward village of Muryovo. Using a sharply realistic and humorous style, Bulgakov reveals his doubts about his own competence and the immense burden of responsibility, as he deals with a superstitious and poorly educated people struggling to enter the modern age. This acclaimed collection represents some of Bulgakov’s most personal and insightful observations on youth, isolation and progress. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491770, NZRP$24.00 Publish March 2011, 160 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction
The brief, brilliant essay Silk Parachute, which first appeared in The New Yorker a decade ago, has become John McPhee’s most anthologized piece of writing. In the nine other pieces here - highly varied in length and theme - McPhee ranges with his characteristic humor and intensity through lacrosse, long-exposure view-camera photography, the weird foods he has sometimes been served in the course of his reportorial travels, a U.S. Open golf championship, and a season in Europe “on the chalk” from the downs and sea cliffs of England to the Maas valley in the Netherlands and the champagne country of northern France. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374532628, NZRP$28.00 Publish March 2011, 240 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Essay

The Theatre and Its Double
The Poetry of Pablo Neruda
Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) was a remarkable French playwright and poet.
Pablo Neruda (1904-73), Chile's greatest poet, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1971; and Ilan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College.
First published in 1938, The Theatre and Its Double is a collection of essays detailing Antonin Artaud’s radical theories on drama, which he saw as being stifled by conservatism and lack of experimentation. It contains the famous manifestos of the ‘Theatre of Cruelty’, analyses the underlying impulses of performance, provides some suggestions on a physical training method for actors and actresses, and features a long appreciation of the expressive values of eastern dance drama. Also included is ‘Seraphim’s Theatre’, in which Artaud attempts an actor’s application of the Taoist principles of fullness and emptiness. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490780, NZRP$24.00 Published February 2010, 160 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

This book is an innovative volume of essays situated at the intersection of at least three multidisciplinary fields: postcolonial and subaltern theory; comparative literary analysis, especially with a South Asian and transnational focus; and the study of “alternative” and “indigenous” modernities.

Global Design History moves us past this limited view of globalism, broadening our sense of this key term in history and theory. Chapters focus our attention on objects, and the stories they can tell us about cultural interactions on a global scale. They place these concrete things into contexts, such as trade, empire, mediation, and various forms of design practice.

Measured both in terms of the range of texts it encompasses and the number of academic publications it provokes, science fiction is one of the most significant areas of popular culture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. While ‘science fiction’ has an established common usage, close examination reveals that writers, fans, editors, scholars, and publishers use the term inconsistently and have always done so.

Peter Fraenkel Ph.D. is an internationally known couples’ therapist.

Peter Fraenkel argues that most relationship problems can be traced to partners being out of sync on the powerful but mostly hidden dimension of time. Differences in daily rhythms, personal pace, punctuality, time perspective, and priorities about how time is allocated can all lead to couple conflict. In this trailblazing new book, he draws on his original research to show how a clearer understanding of these forces can improve the health of your relationship and even rescue a failing one. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230618145, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2011, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Health & Lifestyle

Lise Eliot issues a call to close the troubling gaps between boys and girls and help all children reach their fullest potential. Drawing on years of exhaustive research and her own work in the field of neuroplasticity, Eliot argues that infant brains are so malleable that small differences at birth become amplified over time as parents, teachers, and the culture at large unwittingly reinforce gender stereotypes. She offers concrete solutions for helping everyone grow into wellrounded individuals. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851687992, NZRP$29.95 Publish March 2011, 432 pages Oneworld Publications Quantity Science & Environment

Twenty years after Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, Sean Carroll takes our investigation into the fundamental nature of time to the next plane - to what happened before the Big Bang. But what if time doesn’t (or didn’t!) always go in the same direction? In From Eternity to Here, Carroll, one of the leading theoretical physicists of his generation, delivers a paradigm-shifting approach to understanding the mysterious “arrow of time” in which other universes experience time running in the opposite direction to our own. Exploring subjects from entropy and quantum mechanics to time travel and the meaning of life, Carroll presents a dazzling new theory of how we came to exist. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851687954, NZRP$34.95 Publish March 2011, 448 pages Oneworld Publications Quantity Science & Environment
