Life Without Money

Imperial Foreign Policy and the Origins of World War II

Building Fair and Sustainable Economies

Christopher Waters is Senior Lecturer in Twentieth Century International History at Deakin University, Australia. He has published widely on Australian international history, Anglo-Australian relations and Australian political history. The Canberra Times described his book The Empire Fractures as ‘a most impressive first book’.

Anitra Nelson is an Honorary Associate Professor in the School of Global Studies, Social Science and Planning at RMIT University, Australia. Frans Timmerman was socialist faction leader in the Australian Labor Party and political adviser to members of parliament.

The strategic, political and moral threats posed by the rise of fascist regimes in Germany and Italy were so severe that all the democratic governments faced a myriad of challenges during the 1930s. Australia, as part of the British Empire, was no exception. Christopher Waters here examines Australia’s role in Britain’s policy of appeasement from the time Hitler came to power in 1933 through to the declaration of war on 3rd September 1939. Focusing on five leading figures in the Australian governments of the 1930s, it examines their responses to the rise of Hitler and the growing threat of fascism in Europe. Australia and Appeasement provides an important and original study of the making of imperial foreign policy in the inter-war era and will be invaluable reading for researchers of Australian and imperial history and for anyone interested in the origins of World War II. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848859982, NZRP$49.95 Australian Author Publish November 2011, 320 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Australian History

The money-based global economy is failing. The credit crunch undermined capitalism’s ability to ensure rising incomes and prosperity while market-led attempts to combat climate change are fought tooth and nail by business as environmental crises continue. We urgently need to combat those who say ‘there is no alternative’ to the current system, but what would an alternative look like? The contributors to Life Without Money argue that it is time radical, non-market models were taken seriously. The book brings together diverse voices presenting strong arguments against our money-based system’s ability to improve lives and prevent environmental disaster. Crucially, it provides a direct strategy for undercutting capitalism by refusing to deal in money, and offers money-free models of governance and collective sufficiency. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331652, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2011, 256 pages Pluto Economics / Environment

We All Wore Stars

Memories of Anne Frank from her Classmates

Robert Guest is currently the Global Business Editor at The Economist. Before joining The Economist, he was the Tokyo correspondent for The Daily Telegraph. The winner of numerous awards, Guest is a regular on both the BBC and CNN. He is the author of The Shackled Continent. Today, thanks to the ease of technology and travel, we enjoy unprecendented levels of interconnectedness. Societies are increasingly mobile, and immigrant populations maintain strong ties with their native countries, allowing for an unbroken chain of innovation and knowledge that stretches all the way back home. Robert Guest shows how today’s tribal networks transcend national borders, and how they are shaping the global community in unforeseen ways. In a world where trade, trust, and information flow through ethnic networks, the nation that values open borders and encourages the growth of its diaspora populations will be the superpower of the twenty-first century. With on-the-ground reporting from dozens of countries, this is a timely look at the forces greater than national boundaries, and how they can be harnessed to move the whole planet forward. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230113824, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2011, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Economics / Politics 9 780230 113824

Theo Coster was a classmate and friend of Anne Frank at the Amsterdam Jewish Lyceum. A toymaker and game designer, he is executive producer of the documentary film The Classmates of Anne Frank. Coster has lived in Tel Aviv, Israel, since 1955. In 1941, Theo Coster was a student at the Amsterdam Jewish Lyceum, one in a class of 28 Jewish children that the Nazis had segregated from the rest of the Dutch population. Among Theo’s fellow students was a young Anne Frank, whose diary would later become one of the most important documents of the Holocaust. In this remarkable group portrait, Coster and five of his fellow classmates gather their personal stories and memories of Anne. The accounts collected here do not just help us to rediscover Anne Frank. They also stand on their own as remarkable stories of ingenuity and survival during the Holocaust - from Albert Gomes de Mesquita, who hid in ten different towns across Europe - to Hannah Goslar, who experienced the horrors of Bergen-Belsen but also made a miraculous reconnection with Anne days before her death. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230114449, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2011, 224 pages Palgrave Macmillan Historical Memoir Quantity

Thomas Friedman is said by many to be a principled observer of international events and an even-handed analyst of American policy. But Bélen Fernández’s acerbic close reading of Friedman’s voluminous oeuvre reveals instead a ham-fisted apologist for US military excesses and neoliberal corporate policies-as well as a risibly bad writer. Fernández carefully reviews the Friedman corpus, and her documentation of Friedman’s sloppy mistakes, inconsistencies, wilful ignoring of contradictory evidence, and sheer illogic is both appalling and amusing. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677498, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 160 pages Verso Quantity Politics

Alan Warren, Monash University, Australia.

How do we explain “the bizarre prominence of Bernard-Henri Lévy, far the best-known ‘thinker’ under sixty in the country?” This book, based on a careful investigation comparing BHL’s words with his deeds, seeks to explore the remarkable persistence of this celebrity pseudo-philosopher since he burst onto the scene in 1977. Delving into his networks in the spheres of politics, the media and big business, it suggests what the success of this three-decade long imposture indicates about the degeneration of contemporary French intellectual and cultural life. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677481, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 160 pages Verso Quantity Politics / Philosophy

This book provides a new way to look at competitive strategy in dynamic markets by focusing on the dynamics of product categories and subcategories. The new perspective considers the threats of a brand becoming less relevant and the opportunity of a brand making competitors irrelevant. The central idea is that brand relevance and managing the product category and subcategory perceptions need to be elevated to a major focus in addition to or instead of brand preference. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230120624, NZRP$44.95 Publish November 2011, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Business & Economics

The British fought the Second World War in Burma and India against the backdrop of nationalist unrest and revolt. The appalling Bengal famine of 1943, brought about by the loss of Burma’s rice crop and the dislocation of government, would cause the deaths of many. Alan Warren provides a new study of the series of battles that made up the Burma campaign, including first-hand accounts of the conflict and a fresh examination of the armies and commanders of the major combatants. Burma 1942 powerfully demonstrates how victory or defeat in particular battles altered the trajectory of the conflict, affecting the lives of millions. $49.95 Hb, ISBN 9781441152503, NZRP$69.95 Publish November 2011, 320 pages Continuum Quantity Military History

Derrick O’Keefe is a Canadian writer and social justice activist.

Evidence from the London Session of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine

One of the most influential intellectuals in the English-speaking world, Michael Ignatieff’s story is generally understood to be that of an ambitious, accomplished progressive politician and writer, whose work and thought fit within an enlightened political tradition valuing human rights and diversity. Here, journalist Derrick O’Keefe argues otherwise. Tracing the course of his career over the last thirty years, O’Keefe proposes that Ignatieff and his political tradition have in fact stood in opposition to the extension of democracy and the pursuit of economic equality. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844676156, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 192 pages Verso Quantity Politics

An A to Z of Critical Thinking

From Palestine to Israel

Beth Black is Senior Research Officer at Cambridge Assessment.

A Photographic Record of Destruction and State Formation, 1947-1950

To be a successful critical thinker it is vital to understand how the different concepts and terms are defined and used. The terminology often presents a stumbling block for the beginner, since much of it is used imprecisely in everyday language. This definitive A to Z guide provides precise definitions for over 130 terms and concepts used in critical thinking. Each entry presents a short definition followed by a more detailed explanation and authoritative clarification. Armed with the tools and knowledge provided in these pages, the reader will be able to distinguish an assertion from an argument, a flaw from a fallacy, a correlation from a cause and a fact from an opinion. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441117977, NZRP$34.95 Publish November 2011, 188 pages Continuum Quantity Philosophy

The Novel: An Alternative History

Tony Milligan, University of Aberdeen, UK.

Beginnings to 1600

What is love? What is it to be loved? Can we trust love? Is it overrated? These are just some of the questions Tony Milligan pursues in his novel exploration of a subject that has occupied philosophers since the time of Plato. Tackling the mood of pessimism about the nature of love that reaches back through Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard, he examines the links between love and grief, love and nature, and between love of others and loving oneself. We love too few things in the world, Milligan concludes, adding that we need to be loved too, to appreciate our own value and the worth of life itself. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655069, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 176 pages Acumen Publishing Popular Philosophy

After a pugnacious introduction, in which Moore defends innovative, demanding novelists against their conservative critics, the book relaxes into a world tour of the premodern novel, beginning in ancient Egypt and ending in 16th-century China, with many exotic ports-of-call. Throughout, Moore celebrates the innovators in fiction, tracing a continuum between these premodern experimentalists and their postmodern progeny. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441145475, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2011, 712 pages Continuum Quantity Literary History

Anti-Nietzsche

Brothers Across the Ocean

Malcolm Bull is a theorist and art historian.

British Foreign Policy and the Origins of the Anglo-American ‘Special Relationship’ 1900-1905

Nietzsche, the philosopher seemingly opposed to everyone, has met with remarkably little opposition himself. He remains what he wanted to be - the limit-philosopher of a modernity that never ends. In this provocative, sometimes disturbing book, Bull argues that merely to reject Nietzsche is not to escape his lure. He seduces by appealing to our desire for victory, our creativity, our humanity. Only by ‘reading like a loser’ and failing to live up to his ideals can we move beyond Nietzsche to a still more radical revaluation of all values-a subhumanism that expands the boundaries of society until we are left with less than nothing in common. $34.00 Hb, ISBN 9781859845745, NZRP$43.00 Publish November 2011, 256 pages Verso History & Philosophy Quantity

Anthony Kirk-Greene, St. Antony’s College, Oxford.

The British Empire was the most powerful empire known to the modern world, but power and confidence were ebbing by the mid-20th century. Aspects of Empire, a second anthology of writings from the Corona Club journal, shows the British Parliament, Government, the Colonial Office and leading actors preparing for decolonisation. Here is an illuminating account of the management of the end of a global empire and preparation for self-government - a drama no less striking for being couched in form of Parliamentary debate, and state papers. $68.00 Hb, ISBN 9781848855144, NZRP$86.00 Publish November 2011, 320 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers History & Philosophy

Claudio Pavone’s masterwork, widely recognized as the key reference on the Italian Resistance, addresses crucial issues related to the transition from fascist Italy to the postwar period, viewed from the perspective of the morality at work amongst the protagonists. In an analysis of the events between September 1943 and April 1945, Claudio Pavone distinguishes three processes: a patriotic war, a civil war and a class war-three wars which were often fought by the same actors. He thus introduces a new interpretation capable of grasping all the nuances of a historical event of great complexity. $79.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844677504, NZRP$99.95 Publish November 2011, 864 pages Verso Quantity History & Philosophy

Badiou’s Deleuze presents the first thorough analysis of one of the most significant encounters in contemporary thought: Alain Badiou’s summary interpretation and rejection of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. It presents a detailed examination of Badiou’s reading and argues that, whilst it fails to do justice to the Deleuzean project, it invites us to reconsider what Deleuze’s philosophy amounts to and to reassess Deleuze’s power to address the ultimate concerns of philosophy. Badiou’s Deleuze analyses the differing metaphysics of two of the most influential recent continental philosophers, whose divergent views have helped shape much contemporary thought. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844655090, NZRP$55.00 Publish November 2011, 240 pages Acumen Publishing Quantity History & Philosophy

It begins by introducing the main figures of the Cyrenaic school beginning with Aristippus and by setting them into their historical context.

The ‘Confrontation’ is Britain’s forgotten war. Yet as David Easter shows, it was a major commitment involving over 54,000 British servicemen and near-escalation into full-scale war with Indonesia. President Sukarno’s ‘Confrontation’ of Indonesia was an attempt to destroy Britain’s plans for Malayasia by guerilla warfare, and Britain responded with a secret war by supporting rebel groups, propaganda and clandestine cross-border raids. Britain’s policy, however seemingly successful was, however, vital in her post-imperial retreat from empire and in abandoning her global defence role. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9781848859692, NZRP$72.00 Publish November 2011, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History & Philosophy

And how did they reply? ‘By doing what it is impossible for a man to do.’ And that answer set a keynote for the Conqueror’s entire career, which was characterized throughout by Alexander’s attempts to achieve the unachievable: to scale the fresh heights and make the incredible real and tangible on earth. Already a legend in his own lifetime, the glittering figure of Alexander preoccupied European, Jewish and Arabic folklore until the 15th century. Richard Stoneman, who is one of his leading modern interpreters, here presents a range of Greek and Latin texts which recount the Conqueror’s adventures in the east. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9781848857858, NZRP$43.00 Publish November 2011, 192 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History & Philosophy

In this short, highly readable book, Immanuel Wallerstein provides a condensation of the central ideas of The Modern World-System, his monumental study of capitalism as an integrated, historical entity. In developing an anatomy of capitalism over the past five centuries, Wallerstein provides one of the most coherent and succinct introductions to the genesis of a global system of exploitation. Particular attention is focused on the emergence and development of a unified world market, and the concomitant international division of labor. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677665, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 176 pages Verso Quantity History & Philosophy

A new world crisis is already looming. By 2014, our generation's legacy to the twenty-first century will be decided. Will it be a century of climatic disaster and war? The roots of the present crisis lie in an unbalanced globalization which has failed to match economic with political integration. False models of nationhood, markets, and empires have hindered the development of global governance. If human civilization is to survive the twenty-first century, current ideologies will have to give way to a more realistic acceptance of supranational authorities, and especially of an enhanced IMF and WTO. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441169365, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 196 pages Continuum Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. Yet, as legal star Michelle Alexander reveals, today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you’re labeled a felon, the old forms of discrimination - employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, denial of educational opportunity, denial of food stamps and other public benefits, and exclusion from jury service - are suddenly legal. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595586438, NZRP$38.00 Publish November 2011, 304 pages The New Press Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Philippa Kelly, author of Shakespeare Now! series bestseller The King and I will be in Australia by invitation of the US embassy in Canberra to launch her book. She will also appear at Avid Reader in Brisbane for an in-store event on the 2nd of September. Philippa is Resident Dramaturg at the California Shakespeare Theatre, teaches with UC Berkeley, serves as Panel Chair for the Australian Endeavour Foundation, and travels to Saudi Arabia to work with university women. Outlaws, irreverent humorists, political underdogs, authoritarians - and the silhouette, throughout, of a contemporary Australian woman: these are some of the figures who emerge from Philippa Kelly’s extraordinary personal tale, The King and I. Kelly uses Shakespeare’s King Lear as it has never been used before - to tell the story of Australia and Australians through the intimate journey she makes with Shakespeare’s old king, whose struggles and torments are touchstones for the variety, poignancy and humour of Australian life.

The recent etchings retain all the verve and joie de vivre that is associated with John Olsen’s art in whatever medium. They include new frogs and a series entitled ‘Life Class’, with his witty interpretations of artists ‘drawing from the model’. Other recent works include his fabulous version of ‘Humpty Dumpty’.

Art, Religion and Spirituality in Australia

NGURRA KUJU WALYJA - ONE COUNTRY, ONE PEOPLE

Rosemary Crumlin

Stories from the Canning Stock Route

The Blake Prize for religious art has now withstood 60 years of controversy as critics from many walks of life have argued as to what, in these decades of Australia’s history, constitutes ‘religious art’. Rosemary Crumlin’s richly illustrated book traces the changing styles of the literally thousands of entries to the Prize over six decades. These begin with winners of the prize in the 1950s who modelled their works on examples from Western art history and then extends to the decades when non-objectivity posed problems for those seeking religious imagery, through to the inclusion of Indigenous art and influences stemming from Asia and the Muslim world. This is a profoundly important history of a particular aspect of Australian art.

A co-publication of FORM & Macmillan Art Publishing 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, scholarly, 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.

BRUNO LETI

RENDI LIU

Portrait of a Printmaker

Mini Book #18

Sasha Grishin

Jenny Zimmer A self-taught photographer, Rendi 'Tower' Liu began to practice the art form in 1980 and had his first works published in Nanjing in 1982. His photographs have since been exhibited in China, America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The photographs of Australian native flowers contained in this book have been collated over the past twelve years during which he has undertaken extensive travel throughout the country in search of subjects. Rendi’s commitment and passion for the Australian landscape and native flowers, and his acute response to their shapes, colours, structures and forms, is clearly expressed within these beautifully presented photographs.

Bruno Leti is well known as a painter and creator of magnificent limited edition artists’ books, but is perhaps best known for his printmaking which encompasses a full range of techniques including etchings, collagraphs, woodcuts and lithographs – and, most especially, his magnificent monotypes. Professor Sasha Grishin’s text captures the special qualities and themes of Leti’s prints as he constructs a profoundly sensitive ‘word portrait’ of an individual who has dedicated five decades to the art of printmaking. $89.95 Hb, NZRP$110.00 ISBN 9781921394713 November 2011, 192 pages

A Biography of Catherine Duncan

Jeffrey Makin Well known artist Jeffrey Makin has also served as an art critic over more than three decades, reviewing significant national and international exhibitions in major public galleries. He has also followed the careers of notable Australian artists and their exhibitions in the private gallery system throughout the nation. This book is divided into fifteen sections, each of which explores a separate theme with more than 150 reviews of the artists whose works fall into the totality of these categories. The sections include ‘European Visions’, ‘Female Sensibilities’, ‘In the Abstract’, ‘Real and Surreal’ and others related to figuration, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and landscape painting. Taken as a whole, this book provides a unique survey of Australian art, from a painter-critic’s perspective.

This is the remarkable and revealing story of Catherine Duncan, a leading Australian actress and playwright during the golden years of radio, the winner – along with Peter Finch – of the 1947 Macquarie Award and Australia’s first official female film director: a woman with such belief in herself that she could begin a radio talk with the statement, “History begins with me!” Replete with romance and adventure, this biography traces her early years in Melbourne, her association with the radical New Theatre, her several marriages and ultimate decision to spend more than half her life in Paris where she joined the vibrant literary and artistic circles of those decades. The book is illustrated with many of the important creative individuals with whom she associated during her extraordinary life.

Tom Thomson developed an artistic language that captured the unique qualities of the Canadian landscape. After his untimely death, Thomson’s friends organised a memorial exhibition, and followed this up by forming probably the most famous artistic force in Canadian art history: the Group of Seven.

Ford Madox Brown had already pioneered a style of painting which came to be known as PreRaphaelite before the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848. His beautifully observed landscapes anticipated the open-air effects of the Impressionists. His art was anti-academic, rejecting easy solutions, prettiness, and conventional Victorian formulae. This major monograph provides a general introduction to Brown’s art based on new research; all of his important paintings are included, each one is illustrated and described. $64.95 Hb, ISBN 9780856677007, NZRP$84.95 Publish November 2011, 336 pages Philip Wilson Publishers Quantity Art

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer.

Fadi Azzam is an acclaimed Syrian freelance journalist.

Inspired by Boileau’s Lutrin and illustrating the debate within European intellectual circles between the “Ancients”, who argued that all essential knowledge was to be found in classical texts, and the “Moderns”, who claimed that contemporary learning superseded the old sources, The Battle of the Books shows Swift at his wittiest and most trenchant. In this early satire, various books in St James’s Library take on a life of their own and come into conflict with one another, in a pastiche of the heroic epic genre. As well as providing humorous reflections on the nature of scholarship and education, Swift seizes the opportunity to take swipes at several authors and critics. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847492050, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2011, 128 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

Sarmada, Arabic for “perpetuate” or “the eternallynot-changed,” is the novel’s fictitious setting. Women are the protagonists of this story that spans several generations, from Syria to Paris and back again. The novel is set in the Druze area and is a declaration of love for tolerance and for the peaceful coexistence of the many religious groups that live in close proximity. Myths, communists, nationalists, murder, illicit love, superstition, erotic trees and women’s breasts make up the tapestry of this strange, beautifully writen, first novel. Fadi Azzam narrates, just as he writes poetry: Sarmada is direct, ruthless and full of fire. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781566568623, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 192 pages Interlink Publishing Fiction Quantity

Death of a Civil Servant

The Twelve Dancing Princesses

Anton Chekhov is one of the giants of modern literature.

Ruth Sanderson is the highly acclaimed illustrator of over seventy five books for children.

In Death of a Civil Servant, an administrative clerk accidentally sneezes on a hierarchical superior at the opera, which results in great embarrassment and hilarious and futile attempts at atonement. The other short stories included in this volume, A Calculated Marriage, The Culprit, The Exclamation Mark, The Speechmaker, Who Is to Blame? and A Defenceless Creature are in the same absurdly comical vein. This short collection shows Chekhov in an amusing, playful light, poking fun at the greed, sycophancy and ignorance of his characters, with the moral detachment that also characterizes his major, serious works. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847492043, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2011, 128 pages Oneworld Classics Short Stories Quantity

Long ago, in the days of princesses, castles, and magic spells, there lived a king and his twelve daughters. Although the king locked the twelve princesses in their bedroom each night, every morning their twelve pairs of dancing shoes were found to be worn quite through, as if they had been danced in all night long! The king proclaimed that anyone who discovered the secret of the worn-out shoes could marry the princess of his choice. Here is the enchanting story of how the mystery was finally solved… $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781566568647, NZRP$32.95 Publish November 2011, 32 pages Interlink Publishing Illustrated Children’s Book Quantity

Always Coca-Cola

The Unseen

Alexandra Chreiteh is a first-time novelist.

Nanni Balestrini is the author of several volumes of poetry.

The narrator of Always Coca-Cola, Abeer Ward (fragrant rose, in Arabic), daughter of a conservative family, admits wryly that her name is also the name of her father’s flower shop. Abeer’s bedroom window is filled by a view of a Coca-Cola sign featuring the image of her sexually adventurous friend, Jana. From the novel’s opening paragraph ”When my mother was pregnant with me, she had only one craving. That craving was for Coca-Cola” - Alexandra Chreiteh asks us to see, with wonder, humor, and dismay, how inextricably confused naming and desire, identity and branding are. The names might be recognizable across languages, but Chreiteh’s novel is first and foremost an exploration of a specific Lebanese milieu. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781566568432, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2011, 144 pages Interlink Publishing Quantity Fiction

For a brief but explosive period in the midseventies, the young, the unemployed and the homeless of Italy’s cities came together in an unexpectedly militant movement known simply as Autonomy. Against the austerity programmes and social discipline of the ruling parties, the movement developed a “politics of refusal”. But it was soon divided while its opponents united behind the most repressive measures ever seen in postwar Italy. Nanni Balestrini, himself a victim of that repression, follows in spare but vivid unpunctuated prose Autonomy’s trajectory through the eyes of one working-class protagonist. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677672, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2011, 272 pages Verso Fiction Quantity

The Conspiracy

We Are All Equally Far From Love

Paul Nizan joined the French Communist Party in the late 1920s, and became one of its best-known journalists and intellectuals.

Adania Shibli, born in Palestine, is two-time winner of the Qattan Foundation’s Young Writer’s Award.

The Conspiracy, winner of the Prix Interallié in 1938, was Paul Nizan’s last novel and was hailed by Jean-Paul Sartre as his masterpiece. It is centered upon the figure of Bertrand Rosenthal, philosophy student at the Ecole Normale, wouldbe revolutionary and scion of a hautbourgeois Jewish family. Seeking to prove his commitment to the cause of Revolution by moving from words to deeds, Rosenthal involves his little group of disciples in a conspiracy. Simultaneously, he plunges into a forbidden-and ultimately tragic-love affair. The intertwined plots move inexorably towards their twin destinations of betrayal and death. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677689, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2011, 272 pages Verso Quantity Fiction

A young woman, asked at work to write a letter to an older man, does as she is told. So begins an enigmatic but passionate love affair conducted entirely in letters. A love affair? Maybe. Until his letters stop coming. Or… maybe the letters do not reach their intended recipient? Only the teenage Afaf, who works at the local post office, would know. Her favorite duty is to open the mail and inform her collaborator father of the contents - until she finds a mysterious set of love letters, apparently returned to their sender. In the hands of Adania Shibli, the discovery of these letters makes for a wrenching meditation on lives lived ensnared within the dictates of others. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781566568630, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2011, 144 pages Interlink Publishing Quantity Fiction

Heavenly Questions

Touch

Poems

Gjertrud Schnackenberg’s The Throne of Labdacus received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry.

Henri Cole is the recipient of many awards for his writing.

Heavenly Questions, the first new collection of poems from Gjertrud Schnackenberg since her critically acclaimed The Throne of Labdacus, finds her at the height of her talents and showcases her continued growth as an artist. In six long poems, Schnackenberg’s rhyme-rich blank verse, with its densely packed images, shifts effortlessly between the lyric and the epic, setting passion to a verbal music that is recognizably her own. Heavenly Questions is a work of intellectual, aesthetic, and technical innovation-and, more than that, a deeply compassionate and strikingly personal work. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780374533045, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2011, 80 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry

In his new book, Touch, written with an almost invisible but ever-present art, he continues to render his human topics - a mother’s death, a lover’s addiction, war - with a startling clarity. Alternating between innocence and violent selfcondemnation, between the erotic and the elegiac, and between thought and emotion, these poems represent a kind of midlife selving that chooses life. Cole neutralizes pain with understatement, masterful cadences, precise descriptions of the external world, and a formal dexterity rarely found in contemporary American poetry. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9780374278359, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2011, 80 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Quantity Poetry

This book traces the movement from mutualism to individualism in the context of American family life. Throughout American history, families survived or even flourished during colonization, the Revolution, slavery, the industrial revolution, immigration, and economic upheaval because reliance on others was patently necessary. But in the past century, unprecedented prosperity both freed Americans from mutual dependence and created a culture devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and individual fulfilment. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230337459, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2011, 224 pages Palgrave Macmillan Society & Culture

Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi‘i (767-820) was one of Islam’s key foundational legal thinkers who regarded law, through which humans fulfil their duty of obedience to God, as vital to the social and cosmic order. This innovative study assesses Imam Shafi‘i’s life in its intellectual and social context, his engagement with other important early legal figures, and the development of his legal thought and teachings. It also examines how he became the posthumous “patron saint” of a legal school; and why he remains today a figure of popular interest and veneration as well as a powerful symbol of orthodoxy. $69.95 Hb, ISBN 9781851684380, NZRP$87.00 Publish November 2011, 160 pages Oneworld Publications Quantity Society & Culture

‘Illegal’ Traveller

Social Theory in Contemporary Asia

An Auto-Ethnography of Borders

Ann Brooks, University of Adelaide, Australia.

Shahram Khosravi, Stockholm University, Sweden.

Philosophical debates around individualization and the implications for intimacy, reflexivity and identity have occupied a central part of social and cultural theorizing in the West in the last decade. In fact, late modernity has become conspicuously engaged with issues of intimacy, reflexivity and identity. The author analyses the relevance of these debates in the context of contemporary Asia and combines an analysis of significant social theorists with an application of these debates to social, political and cultural contexts. Drawing on empirical research, case studies, global reports, media and academic literature, the book provides a relevant, wide-ranging and contemporary analysis of the debates on Asian culture and society. $54.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415666855, NZRP$68.00 Publish November 2011, 140 pages Routledge Quantity Society & Culture

This book argues that contemporary Italian history has been marked by a tendency towards divided memory. Events have been interpreted in contrasting ways, and the facts themselves often contested. Moreover, with so little agreement over what happened, and why it happened, it has been extremely difficult to create any consensus around memory.

How Finance is Failing Us

Eight Habits of Successful Project Teams

Robin Blackburn, University of Essex, UK.

The last few years have shown how badly the financial services industry performs as a custodian of savings and pension funds. Here, Blackburn takes forward the argument of his acclaimed Banking on Death and explains why attempts to meet the costs of the ageing society through a proliferation of financial products are doomed to fail and have a host of unfortunate side-effects. In fact, 'financial engineering,' as it is called, has enabled corporations to escape taxation while allowing a new breed of chief executive to accumulate extravagant fortunes at the expense of shareholder and employee alike. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844677658, NZRP$43.00 Publish November 2011, 328 pages Verso Quantity Business & Economics

An Introduction

Murray Roston, Bar Ilan University, Israel.

Stephan Gramley, Bielefeld University, Germany.

From Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales to Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary, this is a comprehensive guide to comedy in the English literary canon. Beginning with a critical exploration of historical and philosophical theories of humour, the book then supplies close-readings of a wide range of major texts, authors and genres from the Medieval period to the present. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441112316, NZRP$55.00 Publish November 2011, 288 pages Continuum Literature

This book provides a chronological analysis of the linguistic, social, and cultural development of the English language, from before its establishment in Britain around the year 350 to the present. Each chapter represents a new stage in development of the language, all illustrated with a rich and diverse selection of primary texts showing changes in language resulting from contact, conquest, and domination, and the expansion of English around the world. The book goes beyond the usual focus on English in the UK and the USA to include the wider global course of the language during and following the Early Modern English period. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415566407, NZRP$72.00 Publish November 2011, 408 pages Routledge Quantity Literature

Paul de Man is often associated with an era of ‘high theory’, an era it is argued may now be coming to a close. This book, written by three leading contemporary scholars, includes both a transcript and facsimile print of a previously unpublished text by de Man of his handwritten notes for a lecture on Walter Benjamin. Challenging and relevant, this volume presents de Man’s work as a critical resource for dealing with the most important questions of the twenty-first century and argues for the place of theory within it. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415604536, NZRP$55.00 Publish November 2011, 208 pages Routledge Quantity Literature

George Orwell the Essayist

Reading in Asian Languages

Literature, Politics and the Periodical Culture

Making Sense of Written Texts in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean

Peter Marks, University of Sydney, Australia.

Australian Author

9 781441 125842

Peter Marks provides the first sustained study of Orwell the essayist, giving his essays the critical attention they merit. Orwell employed the essay as a tool to entertain, illuminate and provoke readers across an array of topics. Marks situates the essays in their original contexts, exploring how journals influenced the type of essay Orwell wrote. Acknowledging this periodical culture helps explain the tactics Orwell employed, the topics he chose and the audiences he addressed. Arguing the essays are central to Orwell’s enduring literary, political and cultural value, Marks shows how we understand the complexities, subtleties, and contradictions of Orwell better when we understand his essays. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441125842, NZRP$58.00 Publish November 2011, 208 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

Christopher Booker has been an author and journalist for nearly 50 years, and was the founding editor of the satirical magazine Private Eye.

Reading in Asian Languages refutes the common Western belief that such writing systems are hard to learn or use. It explains how and why nonalphabetic writing (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) works well for its users; provides explanations for why it is no more difficult for children to learn than are alphabetic writing systems where they are used; and demonstrates in a number of ways that there is a single process of making sense of written language regardless of the orthography. $67.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415894777, NZRP$84.00 Publish November 2011, 288 pages Routledge Quantity Language

This book guides the wine tourist - not only through the better-known regions of Napa and Sonoma, but also the Central Coast, Santa Barbara County and Southern California - and gives sample recommendations on where to stay and eat in and around each region.

With the images of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so dominant in our minds, walking for leisure is the one activity probably least associated with the West Bank region. But Stefan Szepesi’s book wanders well off the beaten track of Palestine as only a synonym for occupation and strife, exploring its inspiring natural and cultural landscape, its intriguing past and present, and the hospitality of its people. The book takes first-time walkers and experienced hikers, as well as armchair explorers, through Palestine’s steep desert gorges, along its tiny herders’ trails, and over its quiet dirt roads running past silver green olive groves. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781566568609, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2011, 224 pages Interlink Publishing Quantity Health & Lifestyle

In Us before Me, a philosopher argues that persistent, unabated human suffering, requires that the traditional tools of moral philosophy and everyday ethics, be supplemented with a new moral principle that shifts the focus from individualism and self interest to our collective interests. She proposes that social capital, widely recognized as good for individuals and the community, also has important ethical qualities. Illingworth takes the position that promoting social capital will increase individual, community and global well being. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230314436, NZRP$34.95 Publish November 2011, 160 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Health & Lifestyle

Acclaimed for its unique ecosystem and Royal Bengal tigers, the mangrove islands that comprise the Sundarbans area of the Bengal delta are the setting for this pioneering anthropological work. The key question that the author explores is: what do tigers mean for the islanders of the Sundarbans? The diverse origins and current occupations of the local population produce different answers to this question - but for all, ‘the tiger question’ is a significant social marker. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415690461, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2011, 268 pages Routledge Quantity Science & Environment
