Medieval Intrigue

The Gifford Lectures

Decoding Royal Conspiracies

Professor Roger Scruton is Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Washington and Senior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. His other books include Sexual Desire, The West and the Rest, England: An Elegy, News from Somewhere and Gentle Regrets (all published by Continuum).

Ian Mortimer is the author of the bestselling The Time-Traveller’s Guide to Medieval England. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (by whom he was awarded the Alexander Prize in 2004), and has worked for the Historical Manuscripts Commission and the universities of Exeter and Reading.

Starting with the so-called scientific world view, Scruton argues that this is the real source of our current doubts about belief in God. To Richard Dawkins, human beings are ‘survival machines’. To enforce the argument that this is disastrous, two far reaching metaphysical world views are examined. Everything in the natural world happens according to scienctific laws. Ecerything that happens is contingent. Drawing on Kant, Scruton argues to the contrary that we can step outside the chain of events and ask for an explanation of it. We can see beyond the limit of our visual field. We will only advance if we can see beyond the limits of our own thinking and attain to the ‘transcendental’ perspective that is God’s. In all this, what are in fact our epistemological capacities? Why and to what end and for what reason is there a world that contains creatures like us? This is the realm of Natural Theology but in Scruton’s penetrating argument it is transformed. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781847065247, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2012, 224 pages Continuum Quantity 9 781847 065247 Philosophy / Religion

In this important new work Ian Mortimer examines some of the most controversial questions in medieval history, including whether Edward II was murdered, his possible later life in Italy, the weakness of the Lancastrian claim to the throne in 1399 and the origins of the idea of the royal pretender. Central to this book is his ground-breaking approach to medieval evidence. He explains how an information-based method allows a more certain reading of a series of texts. He criticises existing modes of arriving at consensus and outlines a process of historical analysis that ultimately leads to questioning historical doubts as well as historical facts, with profound implications for what we can say about the past with certainty. This is an important work from one of the most original and popular medieval historians writing today. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441102690, NZRP$29.95 Publish March 2012, 400 pages Continuum History

Understanding Our Dependency on Technology and Overcoming Our Addiction

The Epic Rivalry between Big Business and Government - and the Reckoning that Lies Ahead

Larry Rosen is past chair and professor of Psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills. He is a research psychologist and computer educator, and is recognized as an international expert in the “Psychology of Technology.”

David Rothkopf is an internationally acclaimed author and the president and chief executive of Garten Rothkopf, an international advisory firm, and a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

iDisorder: changes to your brain’s ability to process information and your ability to relate to the world due to your daily use of media and technology resulting in signs and symptoms of psychological disorders-such as stress, sleeplessness, and a compulsive need to check in with all of your technology. Based on decades of research and expertise, Dr. Larry Rosen offers clear, down-to-earth explanations for why many of us are suffering from an “iDisorder.” Rosen offers solid, proven strategies to help us overcome the iDisorder we all feel in our lives while still making use of all that technology offers. Our world is not going to change, and technology will continue to penetrate society even deeper leaving us little chance to react to the seemingly daily additions to our lives. Rosen teaches us how to stay human in an increasingly technological world. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230117570, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Popular Psychology Quantity

The rise of private power may be the most important and least understood trend of our time. Power, Inc. provides a fresh, timely look at how we have reached a point where thousands of companies have greater power than all but a handful of states. Beginning with the story of how an inquisitive Swedish goat inadvertently triggered the birth of the oldest company still in existence, Power, Inc. follows the rise and fall of kings and empires, the making of great fortunes, and the chaos of bloody revolutions. A fast-paced tale in which champions of liberty are revealed to be paid pamphleteers of moneyed interests and greedy scoundrels trigger changes that have lifted billions from deprivation, Power, Inc. traces the bruising jockeying for influence right up to today’s financial crises, growing inequality, broken international system, and battles over the proper role of government and markets. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780374151287, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2012, 464 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Current Affairs / Business Quantity 9 780374 151287

One of the most perplexing problems facing believers in God is the problem of evil. This is a difficult problem to unpick and it remains an issue that continues to concern people and inspire debate. The problem has taken a variety of forms over the centuries; in fact, there are numerous “problems” of evil-problems for theists but, perhaps surprisingly, problems for non-theists as well. Evil: A Guide for the Perplexed explores, in a rigorous but engaging way, central challenges to religious belief raised by evil and suffering in the world as well as significant responses to them from both theistic and non-theistic perspectives. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441121714, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2012, 192 pages Continuum Quantity Philosophy

The Afghan Solution

Leon Trotsky

The Inside Story of Abdul Haq, the CIA and How Western Hubris Lost Afghanistan

Writings in Exile

Lucy Morgan Edwards arrived in Afghanistan as an aid worker at the height of the Taliban regime.

Leon Trotsky was one of the leaders of the Russian Revolution in 1917. He was assassinated in Mexico in 1940.

Published in time for the tenth anniversary of the Afghan war, this explosive book exposes how the West lost its chance to rout the Taliban and stabilise Afghanistan. In late 2001, a group of Afghan tribal leaders met to plan how to topple the Taliban. Within weeks the plan was in tatters, thwarted by the West, and the group’s leader, Abdul Haq, assassinated by the Taliban. Based on the author’s own experience of the war in Afghanistan, this book reveals how a solution to the war was lost and why it matters today. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9780956844903, NZRP$54.95 Published October 2011, 368 pages Pluto Quantity Current Affairs

Leon Trotsky was a key political figure of the twentieth century - a leader of the Russian revolution, founder of the Red Army, author of books on literature, history, morality and politics. Leon Trotsky: Writings in Exile contains some of his most insightful and penetrating works. Exiled and isolated by Stalin, Trotsky used the only weapon he had left - words. In these writings he defends the 1917 revolution, warns prophetically of fascism and analyses new anti-colonial movements in the global south. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9780754331438, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2012, 224 pages Pluto Quantity Politics / Literature

On the Intrinsic Value of Everything

The Victims Return

Scott A. Davison (Ph.D. University of Notre Dame) is Professor of Philosophy at Morehead State University, Kentucky, USA.

Survivors of the Gulag after Stalin

On the Intrinsic Value of Everything is an illuminating introduction to fundamental questions in ethics. How - and to what - we assign value, whether it is to events or experiences or objects or people, is central to ethics. Something is intrinsically valuable only if it would be valued for its own sake by all fully informed, properly functioning persons. Davison defends the controversial view that everything that exists is intrinsically valuable to some degree. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441162823, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2012, 144 pages Continuum Philosophy

Stalin’s reign of terror in the Soviet Union has been called ‘the other Holocaust’. During the Stalin years, it is thought that more innocent men, women and children perished than in Hitler’s destruction of the European Jews. Many millions died in Stalin’s Gulag of torture prisons and forced-labour camps, yet others survived and were freed after his death in 1953. This book is the story of the survivors. Long kept secret by Soviet repression and censorship, it is now told by renowned author and historian Stephen F. Cohen, who came to know many former Gulag inmates during his frequent trips to Moscow over a period of thirty years. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780761374, NZRP$24.95 Publish March 2012, 224 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History

Whether they focus on the bewitching song of the Sirens, his cunning escape from the cave of the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, or the vengeful slaying of the suitors of his beautiful wife Penelope, the stirring adventures of Ulysses/Odysseus are amongst the most durable in human culture.

Pocket Pantheon

The Story of a Frontier

Alain Badiou, in addition to several novels, plays and political essays, has published a number of major philosophical works, including Theory of the Subject, Being and Event, Manifesto for Philosophy, and Gilles Deleuze.

Freya Stark (1893-1993), ‘the poet of travel’, was the doyenne of Middle East writers and one of the most courageous and adventurous female travellers in history. The Euphrates is the longest and most historicallyrich of all the rivers of western Asia. Tracing the path of this ancient river and highlighting her travels with the vibrant history of eight hundred years of Roman warfare and the history of this mighty river, Freya Stark ultimately reveals the futility of war, of arbitrary boundaries and territorial conquest. Rome on the Euphrates, at once travel and history, is one of her most magnificent and highly acclaimed works of history. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848853140, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2012, 528 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Quantity History / Travel

Exploring the reign of each monarch within the framework of the dynasty, he unpacks the key questions surrounding the monarchy; the relationship between church and the state, development of government, war and foreign policy, the question of Ireland and the issue of succession in Tudor politics. Loades considers the recent scholarship on the dynasty as a whole, and Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Mary Tudor in particular and considers how recent revisionist history asks new questions of their political and personal lives. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9781441136909, NZRP$54.95 Publish March 2012, 272 pages Continuum Quantity History / Biography

Introduction to Antiphilosophy

Philosophy and Translation

Boris Groys, New York University, USA.

Daniel Raveh, Tel Aviv University, Israel.

Antiphilosophy in its various guises is directed not against this or that particular philosophy but against the philosophical project itself. That project is now interpreted as a symptom of frustration, a lack of true vitality, or of the product of an unjust society. Asked why we should want philosophy the answer is no longer a theory but rather an appeal and a command: Live dangerously! Change the world! Think rhizomically! And then you will know. Groys explores these questions and answers via figures as varied as Bakhtin, Benjamin, Derrida, Heidegger, Jünger, Kierkegaard, Kojève and Nietzsche. $39.00 Hb, ISBN 9781844677566, NZRP$49.00 Publish March 2012, 304 pages Verso History & Philosophy

President James Monroe’s 1823 message to Congress declaring opposition to European colonization in the Western Hemisphere became the cornerstone of nineteenth-century American statecraft. Monroe’s message proclaimed anticolonial principles, yet it rapidly became the myth and means for subsequent generations of politicians to pursue expansionist foreign policies.

Starting with Merleau-Ponty

Leonard Kahn, USAF Academy, USA.

Katherine J. Morris, University of Oxford, UK.

Many would say that someone’s motives for acting are a key factor in deciding whether that person’s action is right or wrong. In this book, Leonard Kahn introduces and explores the various ways in which contemporary moral philosophers have grappled with the connection between morality and motivation. Moral Motivation critically examines the central concepts and competing schools of thought that have shaped this debate, from internalism and externalism to moral realism. Along the way the book covers such topics as amoral action and weakness of will. $41.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441100412, NZRP$52.00 Publish March 2012, 208 pages Continuum History & Philosophy

Offering coverage of the full range of Merleau-Ponty’s ideas, the book firmly sets his work in the context of the 20th century intellectual landscape and explores his contributions to phenomenology, existentialism, empiricism, objective thought and his vision of human reality. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847062819, NZRP$38.00 Publish March 2012, 208 pages Continuum History & Philosophy Quantity

In 1971, the inmates of Attica revolted, took hostages, and forced the authorities into four days of desperate negotiation. The rebels demanded - and were granted - the presence of a group of observers to act as unofficial mediators. Tom Wicker, then the Associate Editor of The New York Times, was one of those summoned. This is his account. $27.00 Pb, ISBN 9781608462155, NZRP$34.00 Published September 2011, 256 pages Haymarket Books History & Philosophy

Proletarian Nights dramatically reinterprets the Revolution of 1830, contending that workers were not rebelling against specific hardships and conditions but against the unyielding predetermination of their lives. Through a study of worker-run newspapers, letters, journals, and worker-poetry, Rancière reveals the contradictory and conflicting stories that challenge the coherence of these statements celebrating labor. In this new edition, Rancière has written a new preface, revisiting the work twenty years since its first publication in French. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844677788, NZRP$58.00 Publish March 2012, 448 pages Verso Quantity History & Philosophy

Ideal Illusions

Obama’s Economy

How the U.S. Government Co-Opted Human Rights

Recovery for the Few

James Peck has written for The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, among other publications.

Radical economist Jack Rasmus shows how the Obama administration has failed to deliver economic recovery and social justice and puts forward alternative proposals which could realise these goals. Whilst corporate profits are up, economic hardship is the bitter reality for millions of US citizens. Rasmus argues that the weakest economic recovery since 1947 is the direct result of the Obama administration’s failure to take decisive action. From Obama’s presidential election to the passage of his 2012 budget, this book explains how the US economy got where it is today and why the risk of a ‘double dip’ recession is rising. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9780745332185, NZRP$43.00 Publish March 2012, 176 pages Pluto Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Jack Rasmus, St. Marys College, USA.

The United States has long been hailed as a powerful force for global human rights. Now, drawing on thousands of documents from the CIA, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, and development agencies, James Peck shows in blunt detail how Washington has shaped human rights into a potent ideological weapon for purposes having little to do with rights - and everything to do with furthering America’s global reach. $25.00 Pb, ISBN 9780805094664, NZRP$32.00 Publish March 2012, 384 pages Henry Holt and Company Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

Live Bait and Ammo

The Spirit of Philadelphia

Autoworkers under the Gun

Social Justice Against the Total Market

Gregg Shotwell, a machine operator turned rebel writer, worked thirty years at General Motors.

Alain Supiot, University of Nantes, France. In 1944, the International Labour Organization laid out its “Declaration of Philadelphia,” a full-fledged social bill of rights in the same spirit as FDR’s State of the Union address of the same year. The welfarist spirit was then at its apex - but Supiot argues that with neoliberalism still rampant, even following the economic crash, the Declaration remains an important baseline. Short, punchy and often rousing, The Spirit of Philadelphia describes the worldwide triumph of neoliberalism as oncecommunist elites turn towards market dogma and the privatization of welfare states. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844677542, NZRP$49.00 Publish March 2012, 160 pages Verso Current Affairs & Politics

These biting shopfloor bulletins chronicle a decade of autoworker resistance to ever-expanding concessions pressured upon them by union bureaucrats and company men alike.

Marx and Freud in Latin America Marx and Freud in Latin America seeks to reassess the timeless relevance of the work of Marx and Freud for Latin America, based on the premise that Marxism and psychoanalysis are neither philosophical doctrines nor positivist sciences but rather intervening doctrines of the subject, in political and clinical-affective situations. After going over the possible reasons for Marx and Freud’s own missed encounter with the realities of Latin America, the book presents ten studies to argue that art and literature - the novel, poetry, theater, film - perhaps more so than the militant tract or the theoretical essay provide a symptomatic site for the investigation of such processes of subjectivization. $32.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844677559, NZRP$41.00 Publish March 2012, 320 pages Verso Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Nuclear Weapons in the Information Age

Sex Trafficking, Military Contractors, and One Woman's Fight for Justice

In today’s information age, the coexistence of nuclear weapons with advanced conventional weapons and information-based concepts of warfare is a military contradiction. This study focuses on this unplanned coexistence of two distinct arts of war, including the possibility that states like the U.S. may be held hostage to nuclear blackmail by “outlier” regimes or terrorists, such as North Korea. It shows that restricting nuclear proliferation should still be on the agenda of policymakers, and calls for a revitalized global nonproliferation regime. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441126849, NZRP$49.00 Publish March 2012, 208 pages Continuum Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

Written early in 2010 and initially published in September 2010, The Obama Syndrome predicted the Obama administration’s historic midterm defeat. Now a thoroughly updated paperback continues the story through the midterms, including a trenchant analysis of the Tea Party, and Obama’s decision to continue with his predecessor’s tax cuts for the rich. Ali asks whether—in the absence of a progressive upheaval from below—US politics is permanently mired in moderate Republicanism. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677573, NZRP$24.95 Published August 2011, 156 pages Verso Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Attlee

Frantz Fanon

A Life in Politics

A Biography

Nicklaus Thomas-Symonds, University of Oxford, UK.

David Macey has translated some twenty books from the French.

Clement Attlee - the man who created the welfare state and decolonised vast swathes of the British Empire, including India - has been acclaimed by many as Britains’s greatest twentieth-century Prime Minister. Yet somehow Attlee the man remains elusive and little known. This new biography, based on extensive research into Attlee’s papers and first-hand interviews, examines the myths that have arisen around this key figure of British political life and provides a vivid portrait of the man and his politics. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780762159, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2012, 352 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Biography

David Macey’s biography of Frantz Fanon is acclaimed not only for its eloquence and its comprehensive account of Fanon’s personal, intellectual and political life, but also for its rich depiction of postwar French culture. Frantz Fanon, now updated with new historical material, remains the definitive biography of the iconic thinker who inspired countless revolutions. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677733, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2012, 672 pages Verso Biography

The Boxer Rebellion and the Great Game in China

Lucy Parsons

David Silbey, Cornell University, USA.

Carolyn Ashbaugh worked with the Maricopa County Organizing Project and the Centro Adelante Campesino farm worker center in El Mirage, Arizona.

An American Revolutionary

Many scholars brush off the Boxers as an illconceived and easily conquered movement, but here the military historian David J. Silbey shows just how close they came to beating back the combined might of all the imperial powers. Drawing on the diaries and letters of Allied soldiers and diplomats, Silbey paints a vivid portrait of the short-lived war. Even though the movement ended just as quickly as it began, the bravery and patriotism of the Boxers would inspire Chinese nationalists - including a young Mao Tse-tung - for decades to come. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780809094776, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2012, 272 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Memoir Quantity

Elizabeth and Essex

Queen Victoria

A Tragic History

A Life

Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) was one of the most famous writers of his time.

Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) was a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Set and pioneer of a new style of biography.

One of the most famous and tortured romances in history - between Elizabeth I, Queen of England, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex - began in 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was nineteen. Their passionate affair continued for five years, until Essex was beheaded for treason in 1601. In a fast-paced succession of brilliantly-rendered scenes, Lytton Strachey portrays Elizabeth and Essex’s compelling attraction for each other, their impassioned disagreements and their mutual struggle for power, which culminated so tragically for both of them. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780760490, NZRP$34.95 Publish March 2012, 304 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Quantity Biography

Lytton Strachey’s acclaimed portrayal of Queen Victoria revolutionised the art of biography by using elements of romantic fiction and melodrama to create a warm, humorous and very human portrait of this iconic figure. We see Victoria as a strong-willed child with a famous temper, as the 18-year-old girl queen, as a monarch, wife, mother and widow. Awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Strachey’s classic biography remains one of the best and most readable accounts of the Queen who defined an era. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780760483, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2012, 448 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Quantity Biography

Ernest Gellner

A Saving Remnant

An Intellectual Biography

Martin Duberman, CUNY Graduate School, USA.

John A. Hall, McGill University, Canada.

By the time their paths first crossed in the 1960s, Barbara Deming and David McReynolds had each charted a unique course through the political and social worlds of the American left. In this remarkable dual biography, the prize-winning historian Martin Duberman reveals a vital historical milieu of activism, radical ideas, and coming to terms with homosexuality when the gay rights movement was still in its nascent stages. With a cast of characters that includes intellectuals, artists, and activists from the critic Edmund White and the writer Mary McCarthy to the young Alvin Ailey and Allen Ginsberg, A Saving Remnant is a brilliant achievement from one of our most important historians. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595587763, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2012, 336 pages The New Press Quantity Biography

Their findings showed that the universe was expanding at an accelerating rate, despite the effects of gravity. The discovery shattered their own expectations, and those of the scientific community, and has led to the theories of dark matter and dark energy.

Society & Culture

Dave Zirin is the host of Sirius/XM satellite radio’s popular weekly show Edge of Sports Radio.

Gender has now become a pervasive topic in the humanities and social sciences. Yet despite its familiarity within universities and colleges, some have argued that the radical debates which first characterised gender studies have become ghettoized or maginalized - so that gender no longer makes the impact on creative thinking and ideas that it once did. Brooke Holmes here rescues ancient ideas about sex and gender in order precisely to reinvigorate contemporary debate. She argues that much writing on gender in the classical age fails to place those ancient ideas within their proper historical contexts. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781845119294, NZRP$38.00 Publish March 2012, 160 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Society & Culture

Brooke Holmes, Princeton University, USA.

Funny, engaging, and sharply pointed in his appraisal of the sports complex bankrupting our cities, the celebrated author of A People’s History of Sports in the United States returns with a hardhitting indictment of the big business that professional sports has become. Bad Sports cuts through the hype and bombast to make the case that sports ownership is as irresponsible as the financial shenanigans that drove the US nation to the edge of economic ruin. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595587824, NZRP$39.95 Publish March 2012, 240 pages The New Press Society & Culture Quantity

Although displacement is commonly associated with refugees fleeing conflict, millions of people are resettled every year in the name of development and progress. Despite this, the voices of those with direct experience of displacement are rarely heard. Displaced seeks to redress this, bringing together oral histories that reveal the loss of cultural continuity and identity, shifts in family responsibilities and gender roles, and fractured relationships between generations that are just some of the challenges people face as they attempt to rebuild lives and communities. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230117860, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Society & Culture

In the wake of Bernie Madoff’s ruinous investment schemes, Abe Foxman takes a cultural and political look at the many variations throughout history of the assumptions made about Jews and money. These include Jews as greedy global capitalists; Jews as wealthy secret communists; Jews as cheapskates; and Jews controlling the media with their money to unduly influence society. Foxman makes the case that these stereotypes have permeated cultures globally and argues that these beliefs are rooted in deep-seated and pervasive anti-Semitism. $25.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230120648, NZRP$32.00 Publish March 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Society & Culture

In 1834, Lord Melbourne spoke the words that epitomised the British government’s attitude towards its own involvement in the arts: ‘God help the minister that meddles with Art’. One hundred years later, however, with the onset of World War II, that attitude changed dramatically when ‘cultural policy’ became a key element of the domestic front. The Arts as a Weapon of War traces the evolution of this policy from the creation of the Committee for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts, in 1939, to the drafting of the Arts Council’s constitution in 1945. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9781780760322, NZRP$72.00 Publish March 2012, 200 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

Described as the Mona Lisa of literature and the world’s first detective story, Sophocles’ Oedipus the King is a major text from the ancient Greek world and an iconic work of world literature. Aristotle’s favourite play, lauded by him as the exemplary Athenian tragedy, Oedipus the King has retained its power both on and off the stage. This Reader’s Guide begins with Oedipus as a figure from Greek mythology before focusing on fifth-century Athenian tragedy and the meaning of the drama as it develops scene by scene on the stage. The book covers the afterlife of the play in depth and provides a comprehensive guide to further reading. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441198242, NZRP$43.00 Publish March 2012, 176 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

Susan E. Colòn shows that authors such as Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, and Charlotte Yonge appreciated the power of parables to deliver an ethical charge that was as unexpected as it was disruptive to conventional moral ideas. Against the common assumption that the genres of realism and parable are polar opposites, this study explores how Victorian novels, despite their length, verisimilitude, and multi-plot complexity, can become parables in ways that imitate, interpret, and challenge their biblical sources. $41.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441146502, NZRP$52.00 Publish March 2012, 208 pages Continuum Literature

The Victorian Press and the Fairy Tale

Crime Fiction

Caroline Sumpter, Queen’s University, Belfast, UK.

John Scaggs, Mary Immaculate College, Ireland.

Victorian writers often claimed that the press was killing the fairy tale. In fact, it ensured the genre’s popularity, bringing literary tales and folklore to the first mass readerships. Exploring penny weeklies, adult and children’s monthlies, little magazines and the labour press, this innovative study is the first to combine media and fairy tale history. Bringing reading communities back into focus, Sumpter explores ingenious political uses of the fairy tale: in debates over socialism, evolution and race, and in the context of women’s rights, decadence and gay culture. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230361492, NZRP$58.00 Publish March 2012, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Literature

Wordcrime features a series of chapters where gripping cases are described - involving murder, sexual assault, hate mail, suspicious death, code deciphering, arson and even genocide.

Debunking the multilayered myth that nuclear energy is cheap, clean, and safe, the authors demonstrate how landscapes are ravaged in search of the elusive yellowcake to fuel the reactors, and how energy companies and politicians rarely discuss the true costs of nuclear power plants-from the subsidies that build the infrastructure to the unspoken guarantee that the public will pick up the cleanup cost in the event of a meltdown, which can easily top $100 billion dollars. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230338340, NZRP$49.95 Publish March 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Science & Environment

When homo sapiens made their entrance 100,000 years ago they were confronted by a wide range of other early humans-homo erectus, who walked better and used fire; homo habilis who used tools; and of course the Neanderthals, who were brawny and strong. But shortly after their arrival, something happened that vaulted the species forward and made them the indisputable masters of the planet. This book is devoted to revealing just what that difference is. It explores how the physical traits and cognitive ability of homo sapiens distanced them from the rest of nature. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230108752, NZRP$44.95 Publish March 2012, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Science & Environment

The word ‘yoga’ conjures up in the minds of many Westerners images of people performing exercises and adopting unusual, sometimes contortive postures. Such exercises and postures do have a place within the practice of yoga, but it is much more than that. Yoga is also associated with the Indian subcontinent and the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. This book therefore concentrates on the evolution of yoga in the context of Indian culture, though the final chapters also explore some of its links with non-Indian mystical traditions and some of its developments outside of India during the modern period. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845531560, NZRP$58.00 Published 2007, 280 pages 9 781845 531560 Quantity History / Lifestyle

Israel's History and the History of Israel

What the Buddha Thought

Mario Liverani, University of Rome, Italy.

Richard Gombrich, Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies, UK.

One of Italy's foremost experts on antiquity addresses a new issue surrounding the birth of Israel and its historic reality. Many a tale has been told of ancient Israel, but all tales are alike in their quotation of the biblical story in its narrative scheme, despite its historic unreliability. This book completely rewrites the history of Israel through the evaluation of textual and literary critiques as well as archaeological and epigraphic findings. Conceived along the lines of modern historical methodology, it traces the textual material to the times of its creation, reconstructs the temporal evolution of political and religious ideologies, and firmly inserts the history of Israel into its ancient-oriental context. $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845533410, NZRP$67.00 Published 2005, 416 pages History & Philosophy 9 781845 533410 Quantity

In What the Buddha Thought, Richard Gombrich argues that the Buddha was one of the most brilliant and original thinkers of all time. Intended to serve as an introduction to the Buddha’s thought, and hence even to Buddhism itself, the book also has larger aims: it argues that we can know far more about the Buddha than it is fashionable among scholars to admit, and that his thought has a greater coherence than is usually recognised. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845536145, NZRP$49.00 Published 2009, 256 pages History & Philosophy

Readers and students from generations X and Y are involved in consumer culture, get part of their knowledge through popular culture and/or the internet, and are more practical than theoretical. This book on the sociology of religion straddles the intersection between consumer culture, cyber-culture and popular culture, and focuses on the need of these generations. While covering classical works in the field, Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y uses the writing of cutting edge theorists to understand where religion and spirituality are coming from, where they are right now, and where they might be going. $41.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845533045, NZRP$52.00 Published 2009, 240 pages Society & Culture

Terror Tracks

Studying Religion

Music, Sound and Horror Cinema

An Introduction

Philip Hayward, Macquarie University, Australia.

Russell T. McCutcheon, University of Alabama, USA.

Commissioned and edited to appeal to a crossover Film and Music Studies readership, Terror Tracks is an anthology that analyses the use of music and sound in the popular genre of Horror cinema. Focusing on the post-War period, contributors analyse the role of music and sound in establishing and enhancing the senses of unease, suspense and shock crucial to the genre. The anthology shows the various patterns of use an inflection in a range of scores – orchestral, popular, rock and electronic – and how these relate to nonmusical sound.

Studying Religion: An Introduction turns its attention from the data of religion to the analytic skills required of anyone interested in studying the behaviors and institutions that we commonly name as religions. It shifts the focus from describing the exotic or curious religious “Other” to examining scholarly practice itself, and persuades readers that prior attention to their own habits will assist their efforts to study the habits of others. $41.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845530129, NZRP$52.00 Published 2008, 224 pages Society & Culture

Histories of Sexuality

Technomad

Antiquity to Sexual Revolution

Global Raving Countercultures

Stephen Garton, University of Sydney, Australia.

Graham St John, University of Queensland, Australia.

This book surveys the ways sex and sexuality have been made the subjects of history. It critically analyses some of the key histories of the last forty years; from the early efforts of historians like Steven Marcus to work out a model for sexual history, through to the extraordinary impact of French philosopher Michel Foucault. It explores the vigorous debates about essentialism and social constructionism in the 1980s and early 1990s and the emergence of contemporary debates about historicism, queer theory, embodiment, gender and cultural history shaping the now vast and diverse historical scholarship on sex and sexuality. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9781904768241, NZRP$43.00 Published 2004, 288 pages Cultural History

A cultural history of global electronic dance music countercultures, Technomad explores the pleasurable and activist trajectories of post-rave culture. The book documents an emerging network of technotribes, exploring their pleasure principles and cultural politics. Attending to sound system culture, electrohumanitarianism, secret sonic societies, teknivals and other gatherings, intentional parties, revitalisation movements and counter-colonial interventions, Technomad investigates how the dance party has been harnessed for transgressive and progressive ends – for manifold freedoms. $35.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845536268, NZRP$44.00 Published 2009, 326 pages Subcultures

Revised Edition

Beeton's Book of Household Management

J. W. Rogerson, University of Sheffield, UK.

A Facsimile of the First Edition of 1861

A casual reader enters a bookshop looking for a Bible. However, not all the Bibles on display have the same contents! Some have more books than others, some are study editions, some use gender-free language. How did this come about? This Introduction works back through the processes by which the Bible was written, transmitted, copied and declared to be authoritative by various churches. The following topics are dealt with: What is the Bible?; How Biblical Writers Wrote; The Making of the Old Testament; The Making of the Apocrypha; The Making of the New Testament; The Canon of the Bible; The Study of the Bible; The Use of the Bible in Social, Moral and Political Questions. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845530396, NZRP$43.00 Published 2005, 224 pages Society & Culture 9 781845 530396 Quantity March titles

Isabella Mary Beeton is one of the most famous cookery writers. This is the only available facsimilie of the very rare first impression of the first edition of 1861. It is, for example, the only edition written entirely by Mrs. Beeton and the only edition to bear the splendid colour plates in the style of Baxter prints that graced the original book. Isabella said of her work that she sought recipes that would help people "to live economically, tastefully and well." The book is a serious and very good cookery book of mid-Victorian and early 19th century recipes, each of which was tried out in her own kitchen by herself, her cook and her kitchenmaid. $75.00 Hb, ISBN 9781870962155, NZRP$93.00 Published 1996, 1152 pages Cookery / History 9 781870 962155 Quantity

Introducing Equinox Publishing Everyday Readers Reading and Popular Culture

An Introduction to Linguistics and Language Studies

Ian Collinson, University of New South Wales, Australia.

Anne McCabe, Saint Louis University, Spain.

To the apparently simple and perennial question: ‘what do people do with books?’, this research offers a sophisticated response that goes beyond the narrow perception that reading is solely the consumption of narrative. It combines a number of different academic approaches (cultural geography and sociology; literary and cultural studies; and cultural history) in order to better understand the complex nature of readers’ everyday encounters with their books. Through the use of an ethnographic method, which grounds the analysis firmly in the experience of real embodied readers, this work reveals the rich textures of everyday reading Australian Author culture. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845533564, NZRP$49.00 Published 2009, 176 pages Linguistics 9 781845 533564 Quantity

This introductory book provides readers with a foundation in methods for analyzing and understanding language from various theoretical perspectives within linguistics and language studies. Its novel approach introduces systemic functional linguistics, text and discourse analysis, and formal approaches to linguistics. It demonstrates applications of these approaches to reveal how we use language in society, how our brains process language, and how we learn language. Topics include phonetics, phonology, conversation analysis, morphology, syntax, semantics, language change and variation, animals and language, the brain and language, and first and second language acquisition. $37.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845534264, NZRP$46.00 Published March 2011, 408 pages Linguistics 9 781845 534264 Quantity

The 5 Minute Linguist

Language and Education

Bite-sized Essays on Language and Languages

Learning and Teaching in Society; The Collected Works of Ruqaiya Hasan Vol 3

E.M. Rickerson, College of Charleston, USA, and Barry Hilton, independent scholar, USA.

Ruqaiya Hasan, retired, Macquarie University, Australia.

Language is a vital part of everybody’s life, and nearly everybody is interested in knowing more about it. It’s all too easy for people to lose interest, though, when the answers to their questions turn out to be long and technically challenging. The Five-Minute Linguist: Bite-sized Essays on Language and Languages takes a new approach to making accurate and up-to-date knowledge about language accessible in a nonacademic way. It consists of 60 short chapters adapted from the weekly scripts of a popular U.S. public radio series on language. $23.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845531997, NZRP$29.00 Published 2006, 288 pages Linguistics Quantity

The last two decades have seen a good deal of work in educational linguistics, which has created a deeper understanding of how language works in different varieties of discourse and what a teacher needs to know for engaging successfully in language education. In this sense, the focus has been largely on instructional discourse - i.e., what is to be taught. The chapters of this book attempt to widen the field by focussing on who is being taught. After all, the true active element in the processes of education is the learner. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9781904768388, NZRP$73.00 Published September 2011, 426 pages Linguistics

Genre Relations

Playing with Words

Humour in the English Language

JR Martin and David Rose, both University of Sydney, Australia.

Barry Blake, retired, La Trobe University, Australia.

This book provides an introduction to genre analysis from the perspective of the 'Sydney School' of functional linguistics. Chapter 1 introduces our general orientation to genre from the perspective of system and structure, and places genre within our general model of language and social context. Chapters 2-5 deal with five major families of genres (stories, histories, reports, explanations and procedures), introducing a range of descriptive tools and theoretical developments along the way. Chapter 6 deals with a range of issues arising for genre analysis in a model of Australian Authors this kind. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845530488, NZRP$49.00 Published 2008, 299 pages Linguistics 9 781845 530488 Quantity

Intonation in the Grammar of English

9 781904 768388

Playing with Words shows how every facet of language is exploited for humour. Where a word has multiple meanings or sounds like another, this is the basis for puns (A boiled egg is hard to beat). The word-building rules are used for clever compounds, smart blends and catchy phrases as in 'circulated by word of mouse'. Ambiguities in the syntax afford further scope for humour (Miners refuse to work after death), and the sounds of words can be exploited in humorous verse. There is also humour to be found in slips of the tongue, malapropisms, and funny misspellings. $25.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845533304, NZRP$32.00 Published 2007, 192 pages Linguistics Quantity

The Western Classical Tradition in Linguistics

M.A.K. Halliday, retired, University of Sydney, Australia and William S. Greaves, York University, Canada. Intonation in the Grammar of English is written for scholars who are interested in language, but not necessarily linguists or phoneticians. The introduction covers speech sound, locating it in relation to other phenomena and disciplines, discusses its representation and interpretation, and introduces the systems and strata which frame its analysis in terms of systemic functional linguistics. A CD-ROM integrated with the book provides examples as the systems of intonational choices are presented, and also gives examples of these systems being drawn on in different dialects of English, and in the many different exchange situations in which speakers find themselves in the course of a day.

Second Edition Keith Allan, Monash University, Australia. The Western Classical Tradition in linguistics extends from Ancient Greece to the 21st century and has spread from Europe to the other four inhabited continents. It is a story of successive stages of language study, each building upon, or reacting against, the preceding period. There is a theoretical track passing through Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics to the scholastics of the later middle ages; on to the vernacular grammarians of the renaissance, then the rationalists and universal grammarians of the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845536657, NZRP$49.00 Published 2010, 460 pages Linguistics Quantity
