LEAD TITLES Any Way You Slice It The Past, Present, and Future of Rationing Stan Cox is a plant breeder at the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas. He has written on environmental issues for newspapers nationawide, including the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, and for many online publications. He is the author of Losing Our Cool. In Any Way You Slice It, Stan Cox shows that rationing is not just a quaint practice restricted to World War II memoirs and 1970s gas station lines. Instead, he persuasively argues that rationing is a vital concept for our fragile present, an era of dwindling resources and environmental crises. Any Way You Slice It takes us on a fascinating search for alternative ways of apportioning life’s necessities, from the goal of “fair shares for all” during wartime in the 1940s to present-day water rationing in a Mumbai slum, from the bread shops of Cairo to the struggle for fairness in American medicine and carbon rationing on Norfolk Island in the Pacific. Cox’s question: can we limit consumption while assuring everyone a fair share? The author of Losing Our Cool, the much debated and widely acclaimed examination of air-conditioning’s many impacts, here turns his attention to the politically explosive topic of how we share our planet’s resources. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595588098, NZRP$44.95 Publish May 2013, 320 pages New Press From the book: “But it is not just a witless devotion to consumption for the sake of consumption that is responsible for our resistance to any attempt at restraint. It’s quite possible (indeed very common, I would guess) to be simultaneously concerned about the fate of the Earth and worried that the necessary degree of restraint just isn’t achievable. We’ve been painted into a corner by an economy that has a bottomless surplus of paint.” Quantity

CURRENT AFFAIRS

A Protest Against Forgetting Interviews with Eric Hobsbawm Hans Ulrich Obrist is a contemporary art curator, critic and historian of art. He is currently Co-director of Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery, London. He is also the author of Ai Wei Wei Speaks. Eric Hobsbawm was considered by many the finest historian of our times. His brilliant sequence of books on the 19th and 20th centuries are, in the words of Niall Ferguson, the finest introduction to modern history available. In these insightful interviews conducted between 2006 and the month before his death in October 2012 with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Hobsbawm discusses the practice of history, the central position of Marxism within Hobsbawm’s work, his life as a radical thinker as well as a passionate plea for the role of history within modern society: a protest against the age of forgetting. Humane, moving and passionate - this is the most brilliant portrait of Hobsbawm and his position in the intellectual history of the last century. $24.95 Hb, ISBN 9781781681183, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2013, 228 pages Verso “Modern society, the modern economy, operates essentially without a sense of the past. The problems are existing problems which have to be solved... it seems to me historians are essential to modern society because it is their business to remember what other people want to forget.” - Eric Hobsbawm

His articles have appeared in many journals, including Rethinking Marxism, Sociological Theory, The American Psychologist, Current Perspectives in Social Theory and others. Phil Evans is a longtime political cartoonist based in England. He has illustrated Marx’s Kapital for Beginners and Understanding Economics, among many other books. Karl Marx did not write Capital for the bookshelves of economists and philosophers. Capital is economics for working people, from their viewpoint and history. Capital is the classic masterpiece of revolutionary working-class politics.

Michael Hauskeller, University of Exeter, UK.

Alain Badiou: Between Theology and Anti-theology provides one of the first comprehensive analyses of the relationship between Badiou’s philosophy and theology. Examining the full range of Badiou’s writings, this provocative study explores how Badiou’s philosophy relies on theology even if he claims otherwise and actively attempts to work against theology. Despite the complex questions discussed – ranging across ontology, the theory of truth and the subject, philosophy and its conditions, and anti-philosophy – this book presents a clear and accessible overview of the theological, religious and biblical themes which animate Badiou’s philosophy.

Michael Hauskeller poses some challenging questions about human enhancement, interrogating the logic behind its processes and examining the justifications behind its criteria. Questioning common assumptions about what constitutes human improvement, he asks whether the criteria proposed by its advocates are convincing. The book provides a rigorous approach to the topic which systematically and consistently explores assumptions about human enhancement and its effects. Drawing on current research and popular representations of human enhancement, from advertising to the internet, the book is written in non-technical, accessible language and is suitable for readers and students interested in the philosophy, ethics and politics of human enhancement.

Franco Moretti's study of the bourgeois in modern European literature is a major new analysis of the once-dominant culture and its literary decline and fall. Moretti's gallery of individual portraits is entwined with the analysis of specific keywords-"useful" and "earnest," "efficiency," "influence," "comfort," "roba"-and of the formal mutations of the medium of prose. From the "working master" of the opening chapter, through the seriousness of nineteenth-century novels, the conservative hegemony of Victorian Britain, the "national malformations" of the Southern and Eastern periphery, and the radical self-critique of Ibsen's twelve-play cycle, the book charts the vicissitudes of bourgeois culture, exploring the causes for its historical weakness, and for its current irrelevance.

Death in the Baltic

The Integral Nature of Things

The World War II Sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff

Critical Reflections on the Present

Cathryn J. Prince is the author of A Professor, a President, and a Meteor, for which she won the Connecticut Press Club's 2011 Book Award for non-fiction.

The world is an interdependent whole of which everything is an integral, complexly related, part. Yet current ways of thinking, and being, persistently separate social phenomena and the individual self from the multiple dimensions with which they are interconnected. This book examines this revealing paradox and its consequences in a variety of sites: everyday language, labour, advertising, technology, post-structuralist theory, political rhetoric, urban planning, sex, neoliberal globalisation. Mani demonstrates how even though the interrelations between things are obscured by the ruling paradigm, the facts of relationality and indivisibility continually assert themselves. The book interweaves prose with poetry and sociocultural analysis with observational accounts to offer an alternative framework for addressing aspects of the cognitive, cultural, political, and ethical crisis we face today.

Lata Mani is a historian and cultural critic.

In late January of 1945, nearly 10,000 German refugees attempted to flee the advancing Red Army aboard the Wilhelm Gustloff, a cruise liner-turned-escape ship. Three torpedoes from a Soviet submarine struck the boat, causing catastrophic damage, and throwing the passengers into the frigid waters of the Baltic Sea. Over 9,000 people drowned in one of the worst maritime disasters of all time. The drowned were citizens of the future East Germany and part of the Soviet Bloc. And the German victims inspired little sympathy in the West. Cathryn Prince reconstructsthe story of unimaginable horrorby drawing on original interviews with ten remaining survivors and newly declassified records.

We are all fascinated by blindness. Life Unseen is the first accessible history of the subject written in over fifty years - a powerful and erudite investigation of how the physical state of not seeing affects the life of an individual, a community and a civilisation. The author provides an unsentimental social history of blindness and the blind, with a uniquely personal slant, investigating how the absence of vision has affected our lives, our senses and society from antiquity to the present. Combining her own experience with an examination of the history of blindness in the Western world, she shows that sightlessness has been an ‘active’ force in history, rather than a passive condition which is too readily consumed.

From Plato to Wittgenstein and religions from Judaism to the Hindu tradition, interspersed with divine influences from Classical Greece, Romantic poetry, and the occasional scene from Alien, God: A Guide for the Perplexed charts the path of humanity's great spiritual odyssey: the search for God. Leading the way through this minefield is acclaimed philosophertheologian Keith Ward, blending the sublime and the eclectic in a narrative which offers wit, erudition and moments of genuine pathos. As a survey of the different manifestations of God through the centuries, and an examination of humanity's search for the divine, this is an engaging and informative book. As a deeply moving testament to our endless capacity for spiritual hope, it is compulsive reading for anyone interested in, or embarking on, the great quest for meaning.

Paganism is back and it’s loud. Widely regarded as ‘rationalized’ out of the West, paganism is rapidly becoming a religious, creative, and political force internationally. With essays ranging widely across the US, UK, continental Europe, Australia and Asia, Pop Pagans examines the histories, genres, performances, and communities of pagan popular music. Pagan music has a history, one often connected with specific sites or places. Over time, it became associated with the counter culture, satanic and gothic culture, rave and festival culture, ecological consciousness and spirituality, and new ageism. Paganism has used music to become a powerful and transgressive force in everyday life. Pop Pagans examines the many artists and movements which have contributed to this growing phenomenon.

Reflections of a Metaphysical Flaneur

What is Humanism and Why Does it Matter?

Raymond Tallis, University of Manchester, UK.

Anthony B. Pinn, Rice University, USA.

In the title essay of Reflections of a Metaphysical Flaneur, Raymond Tallis uses the motif of the stroll, the amble, to connect a series of meditations on the freedoms that only humans possess. In subsequent essays, the flaneur thinks about his brain, his relationship to the rest of the animal kingdom, his profession of medicine and about the physical world and the claims of physical science to have rendered philosophical reflection obsolete. The book is a continuation of Tallis’s endeavours to elaborate a vision of humanity that rejects religious myths while not succumbing to scientism or any other form of naturalism. Written with the author’s customary intellectual energy and vigour these essays provoke, stimulate and challenge us to think in new ways.

We live in a world of social, political, economic, and religious rupture. Ideologies polarise to fuel confrontation within communities, nations and regions of the world. At this point in the twenty-first century, humanism’s focus on reason, ethics and justice offers the potential to rethink and re-engage in new ways. What Is Humanism, and Why Does It Matter? brings together leading humanist thinkers and activists to examine humanism and how it can work in the world. Humanism is often misunderstood. The movement includes both atheists and agnostics, who seek to make ethical sense of the world based on shared human values and a concern for human welfare, happiness and fulfillment. What Is Humanism, and Why Does It Matter? presents an overview and exploration of the meaning and nature of humanism, both as a philosophy and as a way of engaging with the challenges of the world.

Relational Archaeologies

Women in the Ancient Near East

Humans, Animals, Things

A Sourcebook

Christopher Watts, University of Toronto, Canada.

Mark Chavalas, University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, USA.

The author questions how a view of human beings, ‘other-than-human' creatures and things affects our reconstruction of past beliefs and practices. It proceeds from the position that past societies understood their place in the world as positional rather than categorical, as persons bound up in reticular arrangements with similar and not so similar forms regardless of their substantive qualities. This book explores this idea by emphasizing how humans, animals and things come to exist by virtue of the dynamic and fluid processes of connection and transaction. Contributors provide a range of approaches from primarily theoretical/ historicized treatments of the topic to practical applications or case studies from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Women in the Ancient Near East provides a collection of primary sources from a broad range of Near Eastern civilizations, from the earliest historical and literary texts (c. 2700 BC) to the latest Hellenistic historians who comment on Near Eastern history (e.g., Berossus, c.205 BC). The book will be a valuable resourse for historians of the Near East and for those studying women in the ancient world. It will move beyond simply identifying women in the Near East to attempting to contextualise them, following the latest research in gender studies.

Tacit knowledge is invoked in a wide range of intellectual inquiries. Philosophers of science have discussed its role in scientific problem solving; philosophers of language have been concerned with the speaker’s relation to grammatical theories; and phenomenologists have attempted to describe the relation of explicit theoretical knowledge to a background understanding of matters that are taken for granted. This book aims to bring unity to these diverse philosophical discussions by clarifying their conceptual underpinnings; to advance a specific account of tacit knowledge that elucidates the importance of the concept for understanding the character of human cognition; and to demonstrate the relevance of the recommended account to those concerned with the communication of expertise.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS The Invention of the Land of Israel From Holy Land to Homeland Shlomo Sand studied history at the University of Tel Aviv and at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales, in Paris. He currently teaches contemporary history at the University of Tel Aviv. His books include The Invention of the Jewish People, On the Nation and the Jewish People, L'Illusion du politique: Georges Sorel et le débat intellectuel 1900, Georges Sorel en son temps, Le XXe siècle à l'écran and Les Mots et la terre: les intellectuels en Israël. What is a homeland and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. Sand's account dissects the concept of "historical right" and tracks the creation of the modern concept of the "Land of Israel" by nineteenth-century Evangelical Protestants and Jewish Zionists. This invention, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel; it is also threatening the existence of the Jewish state today. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781781680834, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2013, 304 pages Verso “Perhaps books combining passion and erudition don’t change political situations, but if they did, this one would count as a landmark.” – Eric Hobsbawm, in praise of The Invention of the Jewish People

The Rise of Britain's Far Right

Drawing the Boundaries of Disclosure

Daniel Trilling is an Assistant Editor at the New Statesman, where he has reported on Britain's far right since 2009.

Julian Petley, Brunel University, UK

The past decade saw the rise of the British National Party, the country's most successful ever far-right political movement, and the emergence of the anti-Islamic English Defence League. What does this extremist resurgence say about the state of modern Britain? Drawing on archival research and extensive interviews with key figures, such as BNP leader Nick Griffin, Daniel Trilling shows how previously marginal characters from a tiny neo-Nazi subculture successfully exploited tensions exacerbated by the fear of immigration, the War on Terror and steepening economic inequality. Mainstream politicians have consistently underestimated the far right in Britain while pursuing policies that give it the space to grow.

The media today are frequently in conflict with people in the public eye. Journalists have had latitude to ‘name and shame’ malfeasance of public officials and criminal behaviour, but disputes are increasingly emerging over disclosure of non-criminal personal behaviour, family issues and sexual orientation, leading commentators to question what information can really be descrobed as being the ‘public interest’. In this book, leading academics and journalists consider the extent to which privacy is warranted for activities outside the scope of their professional lives or when disclosure reveals duplicity related to reputations, brands, images and public personas built and conveyed through media by political and celebrity figures.

Carbon Democracy

The Voices from Tunis to Damascus

Political Power in the Age of Oil

Matthew Cassel and Layla Al-Zubaidi.

Timothy Mitchell, Columbia University, USA

Situated between past, present and future - in a space where the personal and the political collide - these voices are part of an ongoing process, one that is at once hopeful and heartbreaking. Unique amongst material emanating form and about the convulsions in the Arab Middle East, these creative and original writers speak of history, determination and struggle, as well as of political and poetic engagement with questions of identity and activism.

Carbon Democracy provides a unique examination of the relationship between oil and democracy. Interweaving the history of energy, political analysis, and economic theory, Mitchell targets conventional wisdom regarding energy and governance. Emphasizing how oil and democracy have intermixed, he argues that while coal provided the impetus for mass democracy, the shift to oil drastically limited democratic possibility; abpve all, the ability to confront contemporary ecological crises. $29.95 Pb ISBN 9781781681169 Publish May 2013 288 pages Verso NZRP$39.95

Ryszard Kapuscinski

The Way It Turned Out

A Life

A Memoir

Artur Domoslawski was a Knight Fellow at Stanford University. When first published in Poland, Ryszard Kapuscinski won the Grand Press Prize.

Herant Katchadourian, Stanford University, USA.

Artur Domoslawski shines a new light on the personal relationships of this intensely charismatic, deeply private man, examining the intractable issue at the heart of Kapuscinski's life and work: the relationship and tension between journalism and literature. In researching this book, Domoslawski enjoyed unprecedented access to Kapuscinski's private papers. The result traces his mentor's footsteps through Africa and Latin America, delves into files and archives that Kapuscinski himself examined, and records conversations with the people that he talked to in the course of his own investigations. Ryszard Kapuscinski is a meticulous, riveting portrait of a complex man of intense curiosity living at the heart of dangerous times.

This memoir is the account of the life of Herant Katchadourian, spanning seven decades lived on three continents: The Middle East, Europe and the United States. Katchadourian's memoir is highly distinctive, but the issues he focuses on have many features that are common with other people's lives, such as the role of chance and the reconstruction of past events in the light of the present. These issues are presented in a way that readers can learn and benefit from it. This book is the account of a fascinating life that is not only interesting to read but instructive by placing the various stages and facets of life in their historical and cultural contexts such as the history and culture of the Middle East, which are important but not well known.

SOCIETY & CULTURE Cultural Passions Fans, Aesthetes and Tarot Readers Cultural critic and activist, Elizabeth Wilson is the author of Adorned in Dreams: Fashion and Modernity and of Bohemians: The Glamourous Outcasts, as well as Halluciantions and The Sphinx in the City. She has also written a series of crime novels, The Twilight Hour, War Damage and Dying for Peace. She is currently Visiting Professor of Cultural Studies, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts, London and she lives in London. Elizabeth Wilson is one of our most radical cultural critics. In Cultural Passions she transcends the division between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture, exploring the emotional commitment people bring to the books, performances, objects and rituals in which they find meaning and challenging an enduring suspicion of the pleasure of the aesthetic. Ranging from Marcel Proust to tarot readings, from urban planning to interiors, Elizabeth Wilson investigates an underlying Puritanism in critical commentary on matters as wide ranging as Roger Federer and C. S Lewis, Surrealism and fashion and the relationship of religion to fan culture. She questions why pleasure appears suspect, even as consumer society incites it and turns life into entertainment. She questions why there is such fear of elitism when at the same time the fans of mass culture are held in contempt. Subverting conventional views, her oblique point of view provides startling insights on both familiar and marginal cultural experiences. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780762869, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2013, 144 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

From the book: “Long after our civilisation has sunk and disappeared, future races or explorers from Mars may come upon buried relics of the twenty first century. Then they could mistake Elvis Presley and Angelina Jolie, Serena Williams and Roger Federer for ancient deities. They could misinterpret scores, posters and photographs as elements of religious ritual, while Roman Catholicism, say, with its spectacle and imagery, might be misinterpreted as some kind of entertainment. Myopically up against contemporary culture, we lose sight of the similarities between spectacles that to us have very different meanings, and cannot imagine how the categories could ever be rearranged or interpreted in some radically different way.”

Counterblasts

Celebrity philanthropy comes in many guises, but no single figure better encapsulates its delusions, pretensions and wrongheadedness than U2's iconic frontman, Bono-a fact neither sunglasses nor leather pants can hide. More than a mere philanthropist-indeed, he lags behind many of his peers when it comes to parting with his own money-Bono is better described as an advocate, and has become an unwitting symbol of the complacent wealthy Western elite. The Frontman examines Bono's role in Irish investments before the economic collapse; his paternalistic and often bullying advocacy of neoliberal solutions in Africa; his multinational business interests; and his hobnobbing with Paul Wolfowitz and shock-doctrine economist Jeffrey Sachs. Carefully dissecting the rhetoric and actions of Bono the political operator, The Frontman shows him to be an ambassador for imperial exploitation, a man who has turned his attention to a world of savage injustice, inequality and exploitation-and helped make it worse. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781781680827, NZRP$29.95 Publish May 2013, 176 pages Verso

SOCIETY & CULTURE Infoglut How Too Much Information is Changing the Way We Think and Know Mark Andrejevic is an ARC QE II Research Fellow at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland, Australia. He is the author of iSpy: Surveillance and Power in the Interactive Era and Reality TV: The Work of Being Watched, as well as numerous articles and book chapters on surveillance, digital media, and popular culture. In this cutting edge book, cultural theorist Mark Andrejevic approaches the question of how the era of "big data" -- characterized by information overload and data glut - influences the way we think about and use information. In particular, Andrejevic traces connections between the different strategies various groups are using to navigate a mediated information landscape that has transformed quite rapidly from one characterized by perceived scarcity (and barriers to access) to one of data glut. These strategies--like neuromarketing, data mining, and sentiment analysis--Andrejevic argues converge on an understanding of the social, political, and economic roles of information which challenges the empowering promise of the digital information revolution. $49.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415659086, NZRP$64.95 Publish May 2013, 240 pages Routledge

From the book: “The paradox of an era of information glut emerges against the background of this new information landscape: at the very moment when we have the technology available to inform ourselves as never before, we are simultaneously and compellingly confronted with the impossibility of ever being fully informed. Even more disturbingly, we are confronted with this impossibility at the very moment when we are told that being informed is more important than ever before to our livelihood, our security, and our social lives.” Quantity

Laura Westra, University of Windsor, Canada. Terrorism, a widespread global phenomenon, manifests itself in the actions and the policies of individuals and groups, but also and primarily in the actions and policies of states. Delving into the seldom-discussed question of the motivation for most episodes of terrorism, this book studies terrorism's effects based on the economic and geopolitical imbalances that frame today's global governance.

Contemporary Hinduism aims to capture the full breadth of the Hindu worldview as practised today, both in the sub-continent and the diaspora. Global and regional faith, ritualised and everyday practiced, Brahmanical and nonBrahmanical belief and ascetic and devotional traditions are all discussed. Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with detailed case material and images, whilst key terms are highlighted and explained in a glossary. Contemporary Hinduism presents readers with a lively and engaging survey of Hinduism, offering an introduction to the oldest and one of the most complex of world religions.

At its current state of historical development, capital finds its contradictions tending towards an irresolvable character as manifested in multiple crises. The defense of life and the construction of renewed hope for a future require opposition to the domination of capital. This book contributes to that effort by setting out an analysis of the mechanisms on which capital is based.

The author combines interview data with music industry professionals with theoretical frameworks from sociology, mass communication, and marketing to explain and explore the gender differences female artists experience. Stars have learned to prioritize sexual attractiveness over talent as they fight a crowded field for movie deals, magazine covers, and fashion lines, let alone record deals. This focus on the female pop star's body as her core asset has resigned many women to being "short term brands," positioned to earn as much money as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. This book, which includes interview data from music industry insiders, explores the sociological forces that drive women into these tired representations, and the ramifications on the greater social world.

Lisa Hajjar, University of California, USA.

Modest Fashion uniquely studies and addresses both the consumers and the producers of modest clothing. It examines the growing number of women who, for reasons of religion, faith or personal preference, decide to cover their bodies and dress in a way that satisfies their spiritual and stylistic requirements. These are women who are making fashionable the art of dressing moderstly. Scholars and journalists, fashion designers and bloggers explore the emergence of a niche market for modest fashion and examine how this operates across and between faiths, and in relation to ‘secular’ dressers.

Torture is indisputably abhorrent. Why, you might ask, would you even want to think or read about torture? That is a very good question, and one this book addresses in a compelling and enlightening way. Torture is a very important issue, not least because millions of people around the world have been subjected to this odious practice-and many are enduring torture right now as you read these words. $19.95 Pb ISBN 9780415518062 Publish May 2013 96 pages Routledge NZRP$24.95

'I'll Facebook you!' We utter these words so casually, yet they signify subtle changes in the nature of intimacy. Facebook has become richly woven through everyday life. Drawing on in-depth qualitative research, Lambert argues that Facebook is intensifying the social labour needed to sustain and protect interpersonal intimacy, contributing to a state of 'intensive intimacy'. He addresses central questions regarding public intimacy: Does publishing our intimacies enrich our interpersonal lives or is it indicative of a more narcissistic, confessional culture? Facebook demands a novel, dynamic understanding intimacy in a world where the contours of privacy are eroding.

For years, marketers have been experimenting with the senses and sensory experiences to create better perceptions of their products. Accepting the importance of the senses brings about a change in how a manager views his or her products. What changes can be made in the packaging, branding, and advertising to captivate the consumer's senses? What changes can be made to the product itself? Dr. Krishna helps managers to understand how customers relate to products on a sensory level, detailing the specific interactions unique to each sense and showing them how small sensory changes can make a huge impact. Customer Sense allows managers to unlock the secret world of sensory appeal and to craft unique products and advertisements for their businesses.

Written in a lively and engaging style, the book uses a number of case studies to illustrate the perils of transformational leadership, from the Jonestown tragedy in 1978 when over 900 people were either murdered or committed suicide at the urging of their leader, to an analysis of how banking executives tried to explain away their role in the 2008 financial crisis. This provocative and hugely important book offers a rare critical perspective in the field of leadership studies. Concluding with a new approach that offers an alternative to the dominant transformational model, The Dark Side of Transformational Leadership will be an invaluable text for anyone concerned with how people lead people, and the lessons we can learn.

In an attempt to investigate business ethics in China, Lu and Enderle, go beyond sound bites and analyse multiple challenges for the years to come. Developing Business Ethics in China explores the role of different ethical traditions, the creation of ethical corporate cultures, corruption and the lack of confidence, consumption patterns and income distribution, globalization, WTO, information technology, and more. Nearly two dozen scholars and business leaders from China, South Africa, Japan and the United States investigate these issues, taking the first steps for a desperately needed dialogue for China as well as for the world community.

Enough is Enough

The Trouble with Billionaires

Building a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources

How the Super-rich Hijacked the World (and How We Can Take it Back)

Rob Dietz, CASSE (the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy) and Dan O'Neill, University of Leeds, UK.

Linda McQuaig, leading Toronto Star columnist and author of seven Canadian bestsellers and Neil Brooks, Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto.

It's time for a new kind of economy. We're overusing the earth's finite resources, and yet excessive consumption is failing to improve our lives. In Enough Is Enough, Rob Dietz and Dan O'Neill lay out a visionary but realistic alternative to the perpetual pursuit of economic growth-an economy where the goal is enough, not more. They explore specific strategies to conserve natural resources, stabilize population, reduce inequality, fix the financial system, create jobs, and more-all with the aim of maximizing long-term well-being instead of short-term profits. Filled with fresh ideas and surprising optimism, Enough Is Enough is the primer for achieving genuine prosperity and a hopeful future for all.

In this blistering attack on the mega-rich in the UK and US, McQuaig and Brooks combine satirical bite with impeccable research to explain that ever-increasing income inequality is the product of a global legal and economic system that has been rigged by the wealthiest. With disastrous consequences for the rest of us, from wild financial speculation to failing health, it is time for society to fight back. Arguing that instead of "austerity" - a strategy the authors decry as a flawed effort to shore up a failing economic paradigm - we should tackle tax havens, executive pay levels, patent law, and lax regulation, this incisive but lively polemic is a clarion call to arms, which points to a simple solution worth fighting for: tax the rich, they deserve it!

“This book takes a critical approach towards ethics and ethical behaviour. Throughout the book, chapter authors use a consistent approach towards critiquing: from level one, where the ‘rules’ are considered and questioned to the other end of the spectrum, whereby various ethical codes are evaluated at level three. If you are looking for definitive answers to address ethical dilemmas, this book does not provide these answers. However, it does provide the reader with different ways to evaluate and reflect on ethical situations. This is supported by a vast array of real life, in-depth case studies.

THE ARTS Old Mistresses Women, Art and Ideology Rozsika Parker (1945-2010) was a writer and critic in Art History & Psychoanalysis and a psychotherapist. Griselda Pollock is Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art and Director of the Centre for Cultural Analysis, Theory & History, University of Leeds. How was it possible, by the later twentieth century, to have erased women as artists from art history so comprehensively that the idea of ‘the artist’ was exclusively masculine? Why was this erasure more radical in the twentieth century than ever before? Why is everything that compromises greatness in art coded as ‘feminine’? Has the feminist critique of Art History history yet effected real change? With a new Preface by Griselda Pollock, this new edition of a truly groundbreaking book offers a radical challenge to a women-free Art History. Parker and Pollock’s critique of Art History’s sexism leads to expanded, inclusive readings of the art of the past. They demonstrate how the changing historical social realities of gender relations and women artists’ translation of gendered conditions into their works provide keys to novel understandings of why we might study the art of the past. They go further to show how such knowledge enables us to understand art by contemporary artists who are women and can contribute to the changing self-perception and creative work of artists today. $29.95.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780764047, NZRP$39.95 Publish May 2013, 268 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

Monstrosity

The Stylemakers

The Human Monster in Visual Culture

Classic Modernist Design, 1915-1945

Alexa Wright, University of Westminster, UK.

Mo Teitelbaum.

This book investigates the appearance of the human monster in Western culture, both historically and in our contemporary society. It argues that images of real (rather than fictional) human monsters help us oth to identify and to interrogate what constitutes normality; we construct what is acceptable in humanityy by depicting what is not quiet acceptable. By exploring theories and examples of abnormalities, freakishness, madness, otherness and identification, Alexa Wright demonstrates how monstrosity and the monster are social and cultural constructs. However, it soon becomes clear that the social function of the monster - however altered a form it takes - remains constant; it is societal self-defence allowing us to keep perceived monstrosity at a distance.

In Paris in the 1920s, a new style was born, rejecting the embellishments of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, it allied the linear proportions of late eighteenth-century furniture to a twentieth-century perception, paring down superflous detail to the essence of classic modernism. The ostensible creation of iconic interior decorator Jean-Michel Frank, the new style owed much to a circle of SOuth American collectors and patrons, including Eugenia Errazuriz, a lifelong friend of Picasso and Stravinsky. This new study documents how their interchange of partners and ideas led to innovation in every field of the arts. Packed with fresh material and original insights on artists such as Man Ray, John Singer Sargent and Diaghilev.

Torchwood Declassified

Distant Reading

Investigating Mainstream Cult Television

Franco Moretti, Stanford University, USA.

Rebecca Williams, University of Glamorgan, UK.

How does a literary historian end up thinking in terms of z-scores, principal component analysis, and clustering coefficients? The essays in Distant Reading led to a new and often contested paradigm of literary analysis. In presenting them here Franco Moretti reconstructs his intellectual trajectory, the theoretical influences over his work, and explores the polemics that have often developed around his positions. From the evolutionary model of "Modern European Literature," through the geo-cultural insights of "Conjectures of World Literature" and "Planet Hollywood," to the quantitative findings of "Style, inc." and the abstract patterns of "Network Theory, Plot Analysis," the book follows two decades of conceptual development, organizing them around the metaphor of "distant reading," that has come to define-well beyond the wildest expectations of its author-a growing field of unorthodox literary studies.

This is the first critical celebration of Torchwood across its four series, considering issues of representation, as well as the fandom that surrounds the show and its complex contexts. Focusing in particular on how the meanings and understandings of cult television have shifted and become subject to technological, industry and marketing changes in recent years, Torchwood Declassified explores aspects of the show including its aesthetics and branding, its use of tropes from the horror genre, vast tie-in merchandise, status as a spin-off, the nature of a celebrity that is both cult and mainstream, as well as the use of sound and music, and Torchwood’s connection to place and location.

The Lives of Things collects José Saramago’s early experiments with the short story form, attesting to the young novelist’s imaginative power and incomparable skill in elaborating the most extravagant fantasies. Combining bitter satire, outrageous parody and Kafkaesque hallucinations, these stories explore the horror and repression that paralyzed Portugal under the Salazar regime and pay tribute to human resilience in the face of injustice and institutionalized tyranny. Beautifully written and deeply unsettling, The Lives of Things illuminates the development of Saramago’s prose and records the genesis of themes that resound throughout his novels.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLE Always the Fat Kid The Truth About the Enduring Effects of Childhood Obesity Jacob C. Warren, PhD and K. Bryant Smalley, PhD, PsyD are the co-executive directors of the Rural Health Research Institute at Georgia Southern University. They have published numerous scientific articles on health behaviours, social influences on mental health and the impact of obesity on children. Childhood obesity across the world is having massive effects on a whole generation. But while debates continue over the content of school lunches and the dangers of fast food, we are just beginning to recognise the full extent of the long-term physical, psychological, and social problems that overweight children will endure throughout their lives. Most dramatically, children today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents, something never before seen in the course of human history. They will face more chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and diabetes that will further burden our healthcare system. In Always the Fat Kid, author Jacob Warren and K. Bryant Smalley examine the full effects of childhood obesity and offer the provocative message to parents that they have to face up to the fact that they need to have 'the talk' with their kids, which medical professionals say is a harder topic to address than sex or drugs. Urgent, timely, and authoritative, Always the Fat Kid delivers a message our society can no longer ignore. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230341777, NZRP$44.95 Publish May 2013, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan

From the book: “Obesity is a behavior, not a disease. The vast majority of overweight children are overweight simply because of diet and exercise behaviors that depend upon the choices made not only by them but also by their parents and by society at large. By describing these children with a medical term such as “obese,” we move fatness into the nebulous category of “disease,” allowing us to give up responsibility.”

Chef's Guide to Charcuterie

Walking London's Medical History

Jacques Brevery, Culinary Institute of Libramont, Belgium.

Second Edition

Charcuterie, the art of transforming pork meats into various preparations as an array of dishes, has traditionally held a very important place in gastronomy. Chef's Guide to Charcuterie demonstrates how to transform lesser quality meats and organ meats into enjoyable and beautiful foods, including bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, pâtés, and confit. Chef Jacques Brevery presents a complete collection of recipes and information from his career, some of which he learned from his mentors over the years. The book is designed as a reference for beginning chefs, providing them with accurate recipes for classic preparations as well as new ideas that will allow them to expand and improve their portfolio of recipes. The book also presents helpful charts and tables as well as useful conversion and substitution guides.

The story of how health care has developed from medieval times to the present day. The book takes as much interest in one of the six ambulance stations build in 1915 by the London County Council as it does in the grandest teaching hospital. Although some important buildings have been destroyed, and others are threatened, many remain. The book also aims to increase our understanding of the current challenges we face in trying to improve health care. For there are many lessons to be learnt from the past. Packed full of curious and surprising facts about medicine and beautifully illustrated with maps, photographs, and images, this is the perfect guide book for anyone with a passion for urban walks, the history of London, and, of course, medicine.

The water footprint is an indicator of freshwater use that looks at both direct and indirect use of water by a consumer or producer. This book shows how the water footprint concept can be used to quantify and map the water use behind consumption and how it can guide reduction of water use to a sustainable level. With a number of case studies it illustrates water use along supply chains and that consumption at one place is often linked to water use at another place. The book shows that imports of water-intensive products can highly benefit water-scarce countries, but also that this creates a dependency on foreign water resources. The book demonstrates how water-scarce regions sometimes nevertheless use lots of water for making export products. Quantity
