Colin Feltham is Emeritus Professor of Critical Counselling Studies at Sheffield Hallam University. He has written over twenty books including, most recently, What’s Wrong with Us? (Wiley, 2007) and Critical Thinking in Counselling and Psychotheraphy (Sage, 2010).

Exposing Our Genetic Future, One Quirk at a Time Lone Frank is the author of The Neurotourist: Postcards from the Edge of Brain Science (also Oneworld). She holds a PhD in neurobiology and was previously a research scientist in the biotechnology industry. An award-winning science journalist and Danish TV presenter, she has written for such publications as Scientific American, Science, and Nature Biotechnology.

Philosphers since the time of Aristotle have been drawn to the human tension between viability and fallibility. For Augustine failure was part of original sin, for Boethius it was bad fortune, for Schopenhauer it shaped his pessimism and for Sartre it gave rise to “bad faith”. Failure is pervasive and inevitable epistemologically, cognitively, biologically and morally. In this book, Colin Feltham focuses on perceived individual embodied failure, i.e. what it is to be a failure and to live a failed life or rather, why we think the way we do. Is there a way, he asks, of living that transcends the dichotomy of success and failure? He brings a much needed perspective on our perpetual striving towards perfectibility. Time to accept our non-omniscience and to rethink what it means to fail. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655236, NZRP$29.95 Publish May 2012, 160 pages Acumen Popular Philosophy

Taking a uniquely cheeky approach, acclaimed writer Lone Frank swabs up her DNA to provide this first, intensely intimate account of the new science of personal genomics. She tests the limits of genetic fortune-telling, from opting for pre-emptive breast cancer surgery to picking a child’s schooling based on promising DNA ‘snips’. And she explores how much genes determine our destiny - a quest made gripping as Frank considers her family’s and her own struggles with depression. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689149, NZRP$24.95 Publish May 2012, 336 pages Oneworld Publications Popular Science

In Defence of Wonder

Remembering Che

And Other Philosophical Reflections

My Life with Che Guevara

Raymond Tallis was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences for his research in clinical neuroscience. He has published fiction, poetry, and over a dozen books of cultural criticism and philosophical anthropology including, most recently, the acclaimed The Kingdom of Infinite Space (Atlantic, 2008) and Aping Mankind (Acumen, 2011).

Aleida March is the director of the Che Guevara Studies Center, Cuba. She lives with her four children and numerous grandchildren in Havana.

In this lively and provocative essays, Raymond Tallis debunks commonplace truths, exposes woolly thinking and pulls the rug from beneah a wide range of commentator whether scientist, theologian, philosopher or pundit. Tallis takes to task much of contemporary science and philosophy, arguing that they are guilty of taking us down ever narrowing conduits of problem solving that only invite ever more complex responses and in doing so have lost sight of “wonder” - the metaphysical intoxication that first gave birth to philosophy 2,500 years ago. These essays showcas Tallis’s skill for getting to the heart of the matter and challenging us to see, and wonder, in different ways. Wonder is the proper state of mankind, and as these essays show it has no more forceful a champion than Raymond Tallis. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655250, NZRP$44.95 Publish May 2012, 256 pages Acumen Philosophy Quantity

This is the story of a great legend and a great love. This is the story of a tenacious but loving woman, who lived through great danger and sorrow with incredible courage and the heart of a rebel. Forty-five years after Che’s assassination in Bolivia in 1967, his widow and the great love of his life has finally released her memoir of their years together. They met as fellow guerrillas during the revolutionary war in Cuba and married in June 1959, a few months after the revolution. They had four children together. Here, with great passion and poignancy, Aleida describes their shared dreams for the future and their family. This book also includes a remarkable, moving short story Che sent to Aleida from the Congo, Africa. With poems Che wrote for Aleida, along with unpublished photographs from the family albums, never before have readers been offered such an intimate insight into the man who remains one of the great revolutionary symbols of our time. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780987077936, NZRP$32.95 Publish May 2012, 194 pages Ocean Press Autobiography Quantity

Raymond Tallis, University of Manchester, UK.

Jonathan Bate, University of Warwick, UK and Eric Rasmussen, University of Nevada, USA.

Tallis directs his guns at neuroscience’s dark companion - “Neuromania” - the belief that brain activity is not merely a necessary but a sufficient condition for human consciousness and that consequently our everyday behaviour can be entirely understood in neural terms. Tallis dismantles the idea that “we are our brains”, which has given rise to a plethora of neuroprefixed pseudo-disciplines laying claim to explain everything from art and literature to criminality and religious belief. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844652730, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2012, 400 pages Acumen Philosophy

Jonathan Bate, University of Warwick, UK and Eric Rasmussen, University of Nevada, USA.

R evolutionary L ives

‘The power of property was brought into creation by the sword’. So wrote Gerrard Winstanley (16091676) - Christian communist, leader of the Diggers movement and bête noire of the landed aristocracy. Despite being one of the great English radicals, Winstanley remains unmentioned in today’s lists of ‘great Britons’. John Gurney reveals the hidden history of Winstanley and his movement. As part of the radical ferment which swept England at the time of the civil war, Winstanley led the Diggers in taking over land and running it as ‘a common treasury for all’ - provoking violent opposition from landowners. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331836, NZRP$34.95 Publish May 2012, 176 pages Pluto Quantity History

Clifford D. Conner is the author of the acclaimed A People’s History of Science (2005).

9 780745 331935

Jean-Paul Marat’s role in the French Revolution has long been a matter of controversy among historians. Often he has been portrayed as a violent, sociopathic demagogue. This biography challenges that interpretation and argues that without Marat’s contributions as an agitator, tactician, and strategist, the pivotal social transformation that the Revolution accomplished might well not have occurred. The author argues that what was unique about Marat was his total identification with the struggle of the propertyless classes for social equality. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331935, NZRP$34.95 Publish May 2012, 192 pages Pluto Quantity History

Dubbed ‘the poster girl of Palestinian militancy’, Leila Khaled’s image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969. The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as eradefining as that of Che Guevara. Sarah Irving gives us the life-story behind the image. Key moments of Khaled’s turbulent life are explored, including the dramatic events of the hijackings, her involvement in the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a radical element within the PLO), her opposition to the Oslo peace process and her activism today. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745329512, NZRP$34.95 Publish May 2012, 176 pages Pluto Quantity History

Media Studies: The Basics is the ideal guide to this changing landscape and addresses core questions including who, or what, is the media? What are the key terms and concepts used in analysing media? Where have been the impacts of the globalization of media?

Shakespeare

On Deleuze and Consequences

The Basics, Third Edition

Slavoj Zizek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Sean McEvoy, University of London, UK.

In his inimical style, Zizek links Deleuze’s work with both Oedipus and Hegel, figures from whom the French philosopher distanced himself. Zizek turns some Deleuzian concepts around in order to explore the ‘organs without bodies’ in such films as Fight Club and the works of Hitchcock. Finally, he attacks what he sees as the ‘radical chic’ Deleuzians, arguing that such projects turn Deleuze into an ideologist of today’s ‘digital capitalism’. With his brilliant energy and fearless argumentation, Zizek sets out to restore a truer, more radical Deleuze than the one we thought we knew. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415519045, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2012, 248 pages Routledge Philosophy

The World of Parmenides

Understanding Marxism

Essays on the Presocratic Enlightenment

Geoff Boucher, Deakin University, Australia.

Sir Karl Popper (1902-94) is one of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century.

Marx provided a revolutionary set of ideas about freedom, politics, and society. As social and political conditions changed and new intellectual challenges to Marx’s social philosophy arose, the Marxist theorists sought to update his social theory, rectify the the sociological positions of historical materialism and respond to philosophical challenges with a Marxist reply. This book provides an accessible introduction to Marxism by explaining each of the key concepts of Marxist politics and social theory. The books explore the successive waves of change within Marxist theory and places these in historical context, while the whole provides a clear and comprehensive account of Marxism as an intellectual system. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655212, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2012, 240 pages Acumen Quantity Philosophy

The publication of Ideas in 1913 witnessed a significant and controversial widening of Husserl’s thought, changing the course of phenomenology decisively. Husserl argued that phenomenology was the study of the very nature of what it is to think, “the science of the essence of consciousness” itself. Husserl’s arguments ignited a heated debate regarding the nature of consciousness and experience that has endured throughout the 20th century and continues in the present day. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415519038, NZRP$49.95 Publish May 2012, 464 pages Routledge Philosophy

In the early twentieth century, The Eastern Buddhist Journal pioneered the presentation of Buddhism to the west and encouraged the west’s engagement in interpretation. This interactive process increased dramatically in the postwar period, when dialogue between Buddhist and Christian thought began to take off in earnest.

The Expression ‘Son of Man’

Andrea Seri, University of Chicago, USA.

Mogens Muller, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. “Son of Man” is the only self-designation employed by Jesus himself in the gospels, but is used in such a way that no hint is left of any particular theological significance. The expression was given consent, firstly as signifying Christ’s human nature, and then later as a christological title in its own right. Muller traces the history of its interpretation from the Apostolic Fathers to the present day and concludes that the various interpretations of this phrase reflect little more than the various doctrinal assumptions held by its interpreters over centuries. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845539726, NZRP$72.00 Publish May 2012, 536 pages Equinox History & Philosophy Quantity

How Buddhism Acquired a Soul on the Way to China

Jungnok Park (1971-2008), Seoul National University, Korea.

Nicholas Joll, University of Hertfordshire, UK.

This book tells the story of the spread of Buddhist religious thinking and practice from India to China and how, along the way, a religion was changed. While Indian Buddhists had constructed their ideas of self by analytic reasoning, Chinese Buddhists did so by means of non-analytic insights, utilising pre-established epistemology and cosmogony. Chinese also has reinterpretation of the concept of shen - originally an agent of thought which died with the body - into an eternal essence of human spirit, a soul. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845539979, NZRP$58.00 Publish May 2012, 256 pages Equinox History & Philosophy

In this pathbreaking study of local power structures in Old Babylonian Mesopotamia (c.2000-1595 BCE) Seri shows that far from being a monolithic entity that unilaterally made decisions concerning people, water, land, and other resources, the Babylonian state had to deal with local institutions that were not always willing to accept royal decisions passively. He demonstrates that the state was often unable to penetrate deeply into traditional social and economic practices that were controlled by local leaders, as is most apparent in the conflict of jurisdiction related to land distribution. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781908049001, NZRP$58.00 Publish May 2012, 288 pages Equinox History & Philosophy

The book goes on to describe the rise of the first modern-style human rights statements, associated with the Enlightenment and contemporary antislavery and revolutionary fervor. It explores ongoing contrasts in the liberal approach, between sincere commitments to human rights and a recurrent sense that certain types of people had to be denied common rights because of their perceived backwardness and need to be “civilized”. In today’s postcolonial world, the tension between universal human rights arguments and local opposition or backlash is more clearly delineated than ever but no closer to satisfactory resolution. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415507967, NZRP$55.00 Publish May 2012, 224 pages Routledge History & Philosophy

Powerful interviews with Stokely Carmichel, Angela Davis and others who shaped the struggle of their day are mixed with the contemporary reflections of leading activists, musicians and scholars, introducing a new generation to the legacy of Black Power. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9781608461738, NZRP$54.95 Publish May 2012, 192 pages Haymarket Current Affairs & Politics

Has Elizabeth II’s reign been a good thing or have the style, rituals and underlying culture of the modern monarchy held Britain back from its potential in the 21st century world? Stephen Haseler argues that the class structure which the monarchy has continued to encourage has retained outdated, yet seemingly entrenched, attitudes which have negatively affected Britain’s economy, capacity to innovate and international stature. He provides an alternative political and social history of modern Britain which will be a provocative yet entertaining and informative read. $41.00 Hb, ISBN 9781780760735, NZRP$52.00 Publish May 2012, 304 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

The author rejects popular arguments that there is an incompatibility between human rights and Islam. Chase uses a range of local developments as his point of departure, in the process stressing the importance of focusing on the diverse Muslim world rather than on one of its parts. He carefully supports his assertions with examples from contentious “on the ground” debates. He offers a fresh take on the debates over democracy, free expression, and social rights in Muslim-majority states, as well as on the role of movements within those states in shaping what constitutes global human rights. $78.00 Hb, ISBN 9781588268013, NZRP$99.00 Publish May 2012, 215 pages Lynne Rienner Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Immigrant Politics

Political Conflict in America

Race and Representation in Western Europe

Alan Ware, Oxford University, UK.

Terri E. Givens, University of Texas, USA.

There has been a high level of conflict in American politics in recent years. Massive disagreements over government policies, including health care, seem to have pitted one group of Americans against another. In addition, politicians in different parties now seem to dislike each other personally. This book explores how and why this style of politics developed. It argues that fundamental disagreements between Americans have been at the heart of its politics since the eighteenth century. In many ways American democracy is very different from democracy in other countries; these distinctive features have contributed to periods of bitterly contested politics throughout its history. $41.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230339019, NZRP$52.00 Publish May 2012, 226 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

Do ethnic minority politicians play a meaningful role in Western Europe? How do European publics feel about nonwhite politicians? How are political parties reaching out to ethnic minority communities, and how do those communities feel about their political influence? Addressing these increasingly critical questions, the authors of Immigrant Politics explore the realities, possibilities, and problems of ethnic minority and migrant political participation in Western Europe. Their combination of thematic chapters and country studies provides a thorough overview of the politics of race and representation in the region. $75.00 Hb, ISBN 9781588268303, NZRP$95.00 Publish May 2012, 150 pages Lynne Rienner Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Aid, Emerging Economies and Global Policies

Politics and Society in Contemporary China

Gilles Carbonnier, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Switzerland.

Elizabeth Freund Larus, University of Mary Washington, USA.

The emergence of new aid actors (bilateral and multilateral aid agencies) alters the traditional aid architecture and approaches. The increasing number of poor living in middle-income countries makes poverty alleviation more of a political than a technical endeavour. The book examines how this profoundly affects international development cooperation. It questions how far bilateral and multilateral aid agencies succeed in mainstreaming global issues in their operations. It assesses how emerging and traditional donors address competing objectives, often with diverging rationales. $79.95 Pb, ISBN 9781137003409, NZRP$99.95 Publish May 2012, 224 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

This authoritative text captures the dynamism of Chinese politics and society. Elizabeth Larus begins with a broad sweep of China’s modern history-from the imperial era to the present-providing essential context for understanding the current political environment. She then makes sense of the dramatic political, social, and economic changes that have occurred across some six decades. The result is a rich and detailed analysis that is both thoughtprovoking and accessible, appropriate for students at all levels. $49.00 Pb, ISBN 9781588268259, NZRP$62.00 Publish May 2012, 500 pages Lynne Rienner Current Affairs & Politics

Rhetoric, Reality and the Future of Humanitarian Intervention

This book provides an authoritative account of the controversy about the first great debate in the field of International Relations.

Palgrave Publicity Spotlight On….

On Tour

The second edition of John Olsen: Teeming with Life is out now!

Jeffrey Weeks will be attending an event at The Bookshop Darlinghurst on February 16th 2012, as part of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras!

After an extensive search to locate any of John Olsen’s prints that might have been missing from the first edition of this popular book, this new edition includes all of the artist’s etchings made since 2005 when this book was last published. The recent etchings retain all the verve and joie de vivre that is associated with Olsen’s art in whatever medium.

Jeffrey is a historian, and a sociologist specialising in work on sexuality, as well as a gay activist. He is the author of more than a hundred articles and over twenty books, including the recent release The Languages of Sexuality, as well as Same Sex Intimacies (ISBN 9780415254779), The World We Have Won (ISBN 9780415422017), Sexuality (ISBN 9780415497121), and the classic Sexuality and Its Discontents (ISBN 9780415045032).

John Olsen was recently named “Australia’s greatest living artist” in a feature interview in The Saturday Age’s Good Weekend magazine (December 20th, 2011), as well as “one of Australia’s most acclaimed artists” in QANTAS Magazine’s iconic Australian issue (January 2012). Even at 83, Olsen still has more to come. ISBN 9781921394683 $140.00 Hb, NZRP$170.00 November 2011, 304 pages Palgrave Macmillan

Ngurra Kuju Walyja - One Country, One People Stories from the Canning Stock Route

A co-publication of FORM & Macmillan Art Publishing "There are two histories. The European and the Aboriginal. Two worlds, two understandings... If people wanna know what really happened, they got to catch it deep inside, spiritually and emotionally..." - Murungkurr Terry Murray, 2010. During five years of extensive research FORM’s Canning Stock Route Project has derived an extraordinary body of cultural and historical knowledge through a unique collaboration with Aboriginal artists and contributions from ten remote community arts and cultural organisations spanning the Western Desert. This book - diversely articulated, dynamic with Indigenous voices, scholaryly, insightful, visually breathtaking, and comprised entirely of previously unpublished material - will be richly rewarding for all who wish to deepen their knowledge of the Country and its people. The book was launched in October 2011, during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), to coincide with the exhibition being held in Perth. Heads of government were presented with a copy of the book. $120.00 Hb, ISBN 9781921394676, NZRP$140.00 Publish October 2011, 400 pages Palgrave Macmillan Australia

Though his monarchy was toppled in 1979 and he died in 1980, Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlevi, the last Shah of Iran, remains relevant today. He was a social reformer, a romantic egomaniac, and a deeply conflicted man and leader. The Shah’s was a life filled with contradiction - he built schools, increased equality for women, and greatly reduced the power of the Shia clergy. He made Iran a global power and nationalized his country’s many natural resources. Intolerant of political dissent, he was eventually overthrown by the very people whose loyalty he so desperately sought.

A dozen eloquent authors tell their own personal versions of this story.

A Companion to Muslim Cultures

The Sociology of Elite Distinction

Amyn B. Sajoo, Simon Fraser University, Canada.

From Theoretical to Comparative Perspectives

Culture shapes every aspect of the relationship between God and the believer in Islam - as well as among believers, and with those beyond the fold. Fasts, prayers and pilgrimages are attuned to social rhythms old and new. Scripture itself, as the Prophet Muhammad knew, is ever seen through a cultural lens; both language and what it communicates are intimately tied to context. It frames how the deepest religious values are understood and practiced, from modesty in adornment and solidarity with the underprivileged, to integrity and accountability in political life. Muslims have never been content with a passive separation of faith from their daily lives, whether public or private. $57.00 Hb, ISBN 9781780761275, NZRP$72.00 Publish November 2011, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Society & Culture

Intersections between Feminist and Queer Theory

Ties That Bind

Diane Richardson, Janice McLaughlin, and Mark E. Casey, all from Newcastle University, UK.

Sarah Schulman, New York University, USA.

This book explores the debates between feminist and queer theorizing in order to seek out interconnections between the two and identify new directions in thinking about sexuality and gender that may emerge out of and at the interface. How are questions of cultures and identities being reconfigured? What political communities and strategies are becoming possible in this context? In addressing these and other questions the authors explore themes such as: queer or feminist?; the distance between the global and local; bringing material and cultural analysis together. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230296350, NZRP$58.00 Publish May 2012, 208 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Society & Culture

Sarah Schulman explores the family, the first place where all people-straight, gay, and bisexuallearn homophobia. For it is within the family that homophobia begins to control people’s lives. Schulman illustrates how societal homophobia is rooted in the family but reaches into all levels of social interaction, including how gay people treat each other. Ambitious, original, and deeply important, Schulman deftly probes the complex issues involved and prescribes third-party interventions on the part of both individuals and institutions of authority so that we can all live a better life together on truly equal terms. $42.00 Pb, ISBN 9781595588166, NZRP$53.00 Publish May 2012, 192 pages The New Press Quantity Society & Culture

Despite the medical advances of the last century, cancer kills over half-a-million people every year in the United States. In Betrayed by Nature, Robin Hesketh provides a comprehensive history of both the science and the medical advances made over the decades.

Most cultures tell the tale of a maiden who gives birth untouched by a man. Is this just a myth, or could virgin birth be the way we make babies in the future? Prasad looks at inconceivable ideas about conception, from the “Jesus Christ” lizard’s ability to self-reproduce (it walks on water, too) to the tabloid hunt for a real life virgin mother by geneticists in the 1950s. Prasad then transports us to the maverick laboratories that today are inventing the equivalent of “nonsexual selection”. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689118, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2012, 384 pages Oneworld Science & Environment
