LEAD TITLES 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. What is a homeland, and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for them throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial 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-century. 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 invention of the modern geopolitical 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 what is threatening Israel's existence today. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844679461, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2012, 304 pages Verso “What is the Promised Land? Is it a sacred soil for the three Western monotheistic religions or a homeland for world Jewry? Did Jews of the Talmudic persuasion yearn to immigrate to the holy land for 2000 years? Do they wish to live in it today? What about its original inhabitants? Were they reduced to temporaray tenants, or do they still have a right to hold on to their ancestral soil?” -Shlomo Sand.

The Passion of Bradley Manning The Story of the Suspect Behind the Largest Security Breach in U.S. History Chase Madar is a lawyer in New York and a contributor to the London Review of Books and Le Monde Diplomatique. Bradley Manning was arrested, imprisoned in solitary confinement for nine months, and court-martialed for leaking nearly half a million classified government documents including the infamous “Collateral Murder” gunsight video. He was an intelligence analyst in the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division, is twenty-four and comes from Crescent, Oklahoma. But who is Private First Class Bradley Manning? Why did he commit the largest security breach in American history - and why was it so easy? Is Manning a traitor or a whistleblower? Is long-term isolation an outrage to American values - or the new norm? Which is the greater security threat, routine elite secrecy or flashes of transparency? And what impact does new information really have? In this new book, the astonishing leaks attributed to Bradley Manning are viewed from many angles, from Tunisia to Guantanamo Bay, from Foggy Bottom to Baghdad to small-town Oklahoma. Around the world, the eloquent act of one young man obliges citizens to ask themselves if they have the right to know what their government is doing. $19.95 Hb, ISBN 9781781680698, NZRP$24.95 Publish November 2012, 304 pages Verso “The Passion of Bradley Manning reminds us that it was James Madison himself who wrote that a popular government without popular information is but a prelude to tragedy or farce. Author and lawyer Chase Madar tells a great story that raises critical questions about the appropriate balance of government secrecy and national security in a modern democracy.” - Anthony D.

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY Big History From the Big Bang to the Present Cynthia Stokes Brown is a retired professor of education at Dominican University of California. She has written history and biography, including the American Book Award-winning Ready from Within: Septima Clark and the Civil Rights Movement, Connecting with the Past, and Refusing Racism. She lives in Berkeley, California. An epic for our time, Big History begins when the universe is no more than a single point the size of an atom, squeezed together in unimaginable density, and ends with a twenty-first-century planet inhabited by 6.1 billion people. It's a story that takes in prehistoric geology, human evolution, the agrarian age, the Black Death, the voyages of Columbus, the industrial revolution, and global warming. Historian Cynthia Brown visits the Vikings, the Mayas and Aztecs, the Incas, the Mongol empire, and the Islamic heartlands. Along the way she considers topics as varied as cell formation, population growth, global disparities, and illiteracy, creating a stunning synthesis of historical and scientific knowledge of humanity and the earth we inhabit. Big History represents a new kind of history, one that skillfully interweaves historical knowledge and cutting-edge science. In an age of global warming, when the fate of the earth hangs in the balance, scientific advances permit us to see the universe as never before, grasping the timescales that allow us to understand the history of mankind in the context of its ecological impact on the planet. Cynthia Brown's lucid, accessible narrative is the first popularization of this innovative new field of study, as thrilling as it is ambitious. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595588487, NZRP$34.95 Publish November 2012, 320 pages The New Press

This revelatory new history punctures the still widely held belief that the British Empire was an enlightened and civilizing enterprise of great benefit to its subject peoples. Instead, Britain's Empire reveals a history of systemic repression and almost continual violence, showing how British rule was imposed as a military operation and maintained as a military dictatorship. For colonized peoples, the experience was a horrific one-of slavery, famine, battle and extermination. Yet, as Richard Gott illustrates, the empire's oppressed peoples did not go gently into that good night. Wherever Britain tried to plant its flag, there was resistance. From Ireland to India, from the American colonies to Australia, Gott chronicles the backlash. He shows, too, how Britain provided a blueprint for the genocides of twentieth-century Europe, and argues that its past leaders must rank alongside the dictators of the twentieth century as the perpetrators of crimes against humanity on an infamous scale. In tracing this history of resistance, all but lost to modern memory, Richard Gott recovers these forgotten peoples and puts them where they deserve to be: at the heart of the story of Britain's empire. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844670673, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2012, 576 pages Verso “Vivid and startling. Gott’s achievement is to show, as no historian has done before, that violence was a central, constant and uniquitous part of the making and keeping of the British Empire.” - Richard Drayton, Guardian.

Weapon of the Strong Conversations on US State Terrorism Jon Bailes is a co-founding editor of the online political journal State of Nature. Cihan Aksan is a co-founding editor of the online political journal State of Nature. The term ‘terrorism' is often applied exclusively to non-state groups or specific ‘rogue states'. Far less attention is given to state terrorism carried out or sponsored by democracies, most notably the United States. History shows that this state terrorism has been responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Weapon of the Strong analyses the forms of US state terrorism through exclusive interviews with leading commentators and theorists. The interviews explore the different aspects of state terrorism: its functions, institutional supports and the legal and moral arguments surrounding it, and consider specific case studies in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Weapon of the Strong makes an indispensable contribution to contemporary debates on terrorism and constructs a damning critique of US foreign policy from World War Two to the present day. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745332413, NZRP$39.95 Publish November 2012, 224 pages Pluto “This outstanding book will change forever the way we think about terror.” - Penny Green, Professor of Law, King’s College London.

England's Role in Ireland's Greatest Tragedy

Geoffrey Boucher, Deakin University, Australia.

$29.95 Pb ISBN 9781848859470 Publish November 2012 160 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers NZRP$39.95

Tim Pat Coogan is Ireland's best known historian and the author of Michael Collins and The IRA, published to wide acclaim.

Theodore W. Adorno (1903-1969) is one of the most provocative and important yet least understood of contemporary thinkers. This book challenges this popular image and re-examines Adorno as a utopian philosopher who believed authentic art could save the world. Unafraid to talk about human nature, undaunted by dogmas regarding cultural construction, influenced by Kant, Hegel, Freud, Marx, Nietzche and Kierkegaard, Adorno loved art that hurts, that challenged the prevailing culture of the day and resisted the managed, commodified pseudo-happiness of 'administered society'. The author recasts Adorno as a revolutionary whose subversive irony and profoundly historical aesthetics defended the integrity of the individual against social totality.

The definitive book on the Great Famine from Ireland's greatest historian, combining the latest research and fresh insights. The Great Famine was a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration in Ireland. Between 1845 and 1852 the island's population dropped by 2.5 million-a full quarter of its citizens - and its legacy continues to be felt. For both the native Irish and those in the resulting diaspora, the famine entered folk memory and became a rallying point for nationalist movements for decades. This is a fascinating and sobering look at a dark period of global history, as well as the ramifications of the 'famine mentality' that continues to haunt Ireland to this day.

One of the core aspects of the Palestinian refugee question is that of compensation or reparations for Palestinian refugees forcibly displaced by the establishment of Israel. However, many of the complex technical issues compensation would entail have not received adequate attention. In this volume, a variety of contributors - including Palestinian, Israeli, and international scholars and former officials - examine the topic. They cast new light on the structure of possible compensation regimes and potential obstacles to implementation.

Historians in the early twenty-first century must reconcile long-standing approaches to evidence and narrative with the challenges posed by postmodern criticism, the explosion of historical sources and interpretations on the Internet, and the popularity of histories provided in movies and on television. Fashioning History is the first book to develop and apply the same methods of source analysis and principles of synthesis to the chief forms historical representations take in the early twenty-first century: to moving images and Web sites as well as books and articles, to museum exhibitions and historical sites as well as classrooms and archives, to memory and heritage as well as conventional histories. The result is an illuminating assessment of the discipline, indispensable to those who wish to understand the ever-changing landscape of the historical profession. Quantity

From Empire to Orient offers an alternative perspective on Britain's late imperial period by looking at the lives and the writings of the men who chose to defy the conventional social and political attitudes of the British ruling classes towards the Near East. Between the Greek revolt in 1830 and the fall of the Caliphate in 1924 a different kind of voice was heard that was both anti-Imperialist and proIslamic. Geoffrey Nash places David Urquhart's passionate belief in the ideal of municipal government in Turkey, W.S. Blunt's enthusiasm for the Egyptian reformers of the Azhar and Marmaduke Pickthall's advocacy of the cause of the Young Turks into their political and historical context and into the context of their writings.

Jerusalem

Sasanian Persia

Arab Social Life, Traditions and Everyday Pleasures

The Rise and Fall of an Empire

Subhi S. Ghosheh.

The Sasanians were the last of the ancient Persian dynasties, and the preeminent practitioners of the Zoroastrian religion. From its foundation by Ardashir I in 224 CE the Sasanian Empire was the dominant force in the region for several centuries until its last king, Yasdegerd III, was defeated by the Muslim Arabs in the 7th century. The author paints a vivid portrait of the empire's often neglected social history and examines the development of its political and administrative institutions. The author also explores, for the first time in an integrated book on the Sasanians, their descendants' attempts for more than a century after their defeat to establish a second state. Sasanian Persia is a unique examination of a period of history that still has great significance for a full understanding of modern Iran.

Touraj Daryaee, University of California, USA.

Jerusalem is a city of unique grief, a city that has been the target of conquerors more than twenty times. Yet the city has managed to maintain its Arabic culture and traditionsIslamic, Christian, and Jewish-and has emerged victorious time and time again. But beginning with its partial occupation in 1948, its full occupation in 1967, and continuing through today, the Israeli claim on Jerusalem and the government's efforts to change its identity, threatens, finally, to obliterate the traditional Arab culture of the city.

The Making of a Nazi Hero

Soldiers, Spies and Statesmen

The Murder and the Myth of Horst Wessel

Egypt's Road to Revolt

Daniel Siemens, University College, UK.

The military abandonment of Mubarak confused many observers, who had always assumed that the leader and the generals stood or fell together. But as the violence of the transitional period discredited the armed forces, academics fell back in relief on the same age-old asumptions about officers who rule from behind the scenes and change the figures on stage to preserve the status quo. Hazem Kandil presents the revolt as the latest episode in an ongoing power struggle between the three components of Egypt's authoritarian regime: the military, the security services and the political apparatus. Through a detailed study of the interactions within this invidious triangle over six decades of war, conspiracies and social transformation, the book presents the first systematic analysis of how Egypt metamorphosed from a military to a police state and what that means for the future of its revolution.

Hazem Kandil, University of California, USA.

On 14 January 1930, Horst Wessel, a young and ambitious member of the SA was shot at close range outside his home in Berlin. He later died from his injuries. Goebbels was the first to recognise the propaganda potential of the case. This was the beginning of the myth-making that transformed a very ordinary individual into a masculine role model for an entire generation. Wessel became the hero of the Nazi movement and the song Die Fahne Hoch for which Wessel had written the lyrics (and which subsequently became popularly known as the 'Horst Wessel Song') became the official Nazi party anthem. Daniel Siemens here provides a fascinating and gripping account of the background to Horst Wessel's murder and uncovers how and why the Nazis made him a political hero. At the same time it is a portrait of the Nazi propaganda machine at its most effective and most chilling.

The Turks originated in Asia but Constantinople was conquered from the west not the east: the Ottomans became a European power before they became a Middle Eastern one and remained a primarily European power. And when Turks first entered Anatolia in the 11th century, it was a Byzantine Emperor who made a relatively minor Turkish prince the first Sultan in the land that would come to be known as Turkey-a prince, furthermore, who called himself not Sultan of Turkey, but Sultan of Rome! Few have bridged so many civilizations or have brought so many cultural strands together. Their story is as much our history as it is theirs.

Based on first-hand accounts and extensive fieldwork, Unfree in Palestine reveals the role played by identity documents in Israel's apartheid policies towards the Palestinians, from the red passes of the 1950s to the orange, green and blue passes of today. The authors chronicle how since the time of the Ottoman Empire millions of Palestinians have been denationalised through the bureaucratic tools of census, population registration, blacklisting and a discriminatory legal framework. In the modern era, they show how identity documents are used by Israel as a means of coercion, extortion, humiliation and informant recruitment.

Pirates have long been stock figures in popular culture, from Treasure Island to the more recent antics of Jack Sparrow.

The Palestine War, as analyzed here, started in 1799 with an invasion by Napoleon, barely remembered today. It has grown fiercer ever since. The history of the Zionist project in Palestine starts with European dreams, growing out of the Jewish condition in Europe. This book aims at looking at the origins of these utopian ideas, as they were combined with imperial power moves to create a new reality. We learn that the basic ideas, both idealistic dreams and imperial designs, were formed earlier than is often realized. Utopia and Injustice clarifies the big picture, while paying careful attention to major turning points. It will serve as a benchmark in the continuing discussion of current events in region.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS Trading Secrets Spies and Intelligence in an Age of Terror Mark Husband is a former journalist who has worked for the Guardian, The Times and The Financial Times. He specializes in issues relating to defence, security and terrorism and has also reported on Africa and the Middle East. Whose agenda do spies serve? In this gripping book, former Financial Times security correspondent Mark Huband takes us inside the shadowy world of intelligence-gathering. Drawing on archive material, unpublished letters and exclusive interviews, he explores how the role and purpose of 'intelligence' has evolved from its origins in World War II to today's War on Terror. Drawing on his unique sources, he exposes the hidden blunders of the western intelligence agencies, such as the CIA's total misreading of the KGB's intentions during the Cold War, and the politicisation of intelligence in the build up to the Iraq War, and throws light on their evolving methods, including the manipulation of the media. Ranging from Kandahar to Belfast, this thriller-like book provides not only a compelling account of modern spycraft but a thoughtful and sobering analysis of its current fitness to combat the threat of 21st century terrorism. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848858435, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2012, 224 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

This edited volume seeks to unpack the state of the democratic void in three interrelated fields: democracy, legitimacy and social relations. In doing so, the conventional treatment of democratization as a linear, formal, systemic and systematic process is challenged and the power politics of democratic transition reassessed. Through a close examination of case studies focussing on Yemen, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, Iraq and Lebanon, this collection introduces the reader to indigenous narratives on how power is wrested and negotiated from the bottom-up.

The world today faces numerous challenges. Combined with the many changes affecting both the regional and global balance of power - such as the apparent decline of the United States, the growing influence of the East, and the evolving role of international organizations these challenges have led some to question how global power will be distributed in the coming two decades. This book offers an examination of these developments, providing an exploration of the future of the global system and its international powers and organizations. With analysis of military, security, financial and economic challenges that face the Gulf, the wider Middle East and beyond, this book is of vital importance to those interested in the future of both geopolitical networks and the global monetary system.

This book studies the proportion of women in national parliaments. More precisely, it seeks to identify the factors that influence the percentage of female parliamentarians, paying particular attention to the electoral system. The author seeks to understand a profound political movement, that of the third wave of democratization of political systems, through the particular perspective of female representation in parliaments. Although several books have been published on women in politics, none have focused on electoral systems as an explanation for the proportion of women in national parliaments.

Seventeen years after the genocide that made Rwanda international news, the country has achieved a miraculous turnaround. This war-torn country has adopted the most promising African model for economic development, shepherded by its shrewd and decisive president, Paul Kagame. This book look at Kagame's leadership and the key elements of the so-called Rwanda Model, including self-determination and selfsufficiency, and how it can lift developing nations out of poverty without relying on Western aid. As so many nations stand on the brink of political and economic revolution, this is a timely and fascinating book at the implications of Rwanda's success for the rest of the continent.

Through agitation or the threat of agitation, Egyptian workers have been able to hinder the reform process, while the Mexican labor movement, which is larger and better organized was unable to resist privatization. The critical distinction between Mexican and Egyptian incorporation is that in Egypt, the labor movement was depoliticized and attached to the state bureaucracy, while in Mexico, workers were electorally mobilized into a political party. This difference would prove crucial during the reform process, because, social control in Mexico, exercised through the PRI, was more effective in coopting opponents and mobilizing urban constituencies for privatization than the control mechanisms of the Egyptian state bureaucracy.

BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIR My Life in Politics Jacques Chirac is a lifelong French politician and one of the most charismatic figures of twentieth century politics. He was president of France from 1995 to 2007. He also served as Prime Minister of France twice in the 1970s and 1980s, and as Mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995.

Counterblasts

Among the ranks of the ex-Leftists, most of whom are readily forgotten, Christopher Hitchens stands out as someone determined to do just that. Rejecting the well-worn paths of hard-right evangelism and capitalist 'realism', he identified with nothing outside his own idiosyncrasies. A habitual mugwump who occassionaly masqueraded as a Marxist, the role he adopted late in his career - as a free radical within the US establishment - had ample precedents from his earlier incarnation. It wasn't the Damascene conversion he described. His long-standing admiration for America, his fascination with the Right as the truly 'revolutionary' force, his closet Thatcherism, his theophobia and disdain for the actually existing Left had all been present in different ways throughout his political life. Post-9/11, they merely found a new articulation. For all that, the Hitchensian idiolect was a unique, marketable formula. He is a recognizable historical type - the apostate leftist - and as such presents a rewarding, entertaining and an enlightening case study. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844679904, NZRP$29.95 Publish November 2012, 160 pages Verso

After 9/11, a mother of three in rural Montana was devouring literature on Islamic culture, teaching herself Arabic and preparing to infiltrate the central nervous system of global terror: online networks. Posing as an Islamic militant under dozens of screen aliases, she joined forces with the FBI and started trolling jihadist chat rooms and amassing evidence against an array of suspected terrorists both at home and abroad. In 2012, Shannen's family uncovered her double life after a chat room terrorist wiped out their computer, and reports rolled in that the Rossmillers were being targeted for reprisal. Shannen pressed on, bringing many would-be jihadists to justice and pioneering the digital entrapment tactics that are at the forefront of today's war on terror.

In this volume of new writing, fifteen innovative and outstanding Palestinian writers respond with their reflections, experiences, memories, and polemics. Their contributions-poignant, humorous, intimate, reflective, intensely political-make for an offering that is remarkable for the candor and grace with which it explores the many individual and collective experiences of waiting for, living for, and seeking Palestine.

Huntington proposed his influential and troubling 'clash of civilitations' thesis, nationalism has only continued to puzzle and frustate commentators, policy analysts and political theoriests. Opening with powerful statements by Lord Acton and Otto Bauer - the classic liberal and socialist positions - Mapping the Nation presents a wealth of thought on this issue: the debate between Ernest Gellner and Miroslav Hroch; Gopal Balakrishnan's critique of benedict Anderson's seminal Imagined Communities; Partha Chatterjee on the limitations of the Enlightenment approach to nationhood; and contributions from Michael Mann, Eric Hobsbawm, Tom Nairn and Jurgen Habermas.

For a long time, the term ‘ideology’ was in disrepute, having become associated with such unfashionable notions as fundamental truth and the eternal verities. The tide has turned and recent years have seen a revival of interest in the questions that ideology poses to social and cultural theory and to political practice. Including Slavoj Zizek’s study of the development of the concept from Marx to the present; assessments of the contributions of Lukacs and the Frankfurth School by Terry Eagleton, Peter Dews and Seyla Benhabib; and essays by Adorno, Lacan and Althusser, Mapping Ideology is an invaluable guide to the most dynamic field in cultural theory.

Revolutionary novelist, historian, anarchist, Bolshevik and dissident - Victor Serge is one of the most compelling figures of Soviet history. Set against some of the momentous events of the twentieth century, Victor Serge reveals the dauntless vigor of a man whose views often reflect the struggles of our own time.

Inspired by Antonio Gramsci’s writings on the history of subaltern classes, the authors in this book sought to contest the elite histories of Indian nationalists by adopting the paradigm of ‘history from below’. Later on, the project shifted from its social history origins by drawing upon an eclectic group of thinkers that included Edward Said, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. This book provides a comprehensive balance sheet of the project and its developments, including Ranajit Guha’s original subaltern studies manifesto, Partha Chatterjee, Dipesh Chakrabarty and Gayatri Spivak.

SOCIETY & CULTURE Idiotism Capitalism and Privatization of Life Neal Curtis, University of Auckland, New Zealand. Idiotism examines the condition of society in late capitalism where the market logic of neoliberalism has become the new ‘common sense', taken as the model for the organisation and management of all aspects of social life. Using the Greek word idios, meaning 'private', Neal Curtis calls this privatisation of the world idiotism. Constructing a new vocabulary with which to understand contemporary society, Curtis examines idiotism across the spheres of economics, politics and culture, drawing on the philosophy and political theories of Martin Heidegger, Louis Althusser, Franco Berardi, Jacques Rancière and Cornelius Castoriadis. Idiotism recasts our conception of the new neoliberal 'common sense', presenting it as not simply a case of false consciousness, but an ontological problem related to our being-in-the-world. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331553, NZRP$49.95 Publish November 2012, 189 pages Pluto

Migreurop, Olivier Clochard, Emmanuel Blanchard,Caroline Maillary, Alain Morice, Claire Rodier, Isabelle Saint-Saens.

Buddhism, which for six millennia has been an integral part of South and East Asian society and civilization, is now increasingly popular in the West, where its teachings about liberation of the self from the cycle of existence have proved attractive to people from a wide variety of backgrounds. In this new and comprehensive textbook, Alexander Wynne shows that the story of Buddhism as a global system of belief begins with the life of the Buddha in northern India in the fifth century BCE. He discusses the many new advances that have been made in recent years with regard to Buddhist origins, and traces the ways that formative Indian doctrines helped shape the features of later Asian Buddhism.

This title addresses globalisation and migration flows, increased protectionism in controls on international migration, the establishment of asylum and immigration at the heart of European politics, the consequences of migration controls and the threats to fundamental rights.

Hinduism

British Cultural Identities

An Introduction

Fourth Edition

Will Sweetma, University of Otago, New Zealand.

Mike Storry, formerly at John Moores University, UK and Peter Childs, University of Gloucestershire, UK.

Will Sweetman's nuanced and carefully structured introductory text helps unravel the complex strands of one of the world's remarkable systems of belief, identifying the chief ingredients of Hinduism's rich and distinctive flavour. Offering a broadly thematic and historical overview of the multiplicity of religious thought and practice that in his view may uniformly be called 'Hindu', the author explores the theological and philosophical abundance of the Vedas, Upanishads and Mahabharata (including the intense theistic devotion - 'bhakti' - of the Bhagavad-Gita). He then discusses the major Hindu gods; divine iconography and mythology; and the nature of temple worship, focusing above all on the ritual life of contemporary Hindus.

The authors assess the degree to which being British impinges on the identity of the many people who live in Britain. They analyze contemporary British identity through the various and changing ways in which people who live in the UK position themselves and are positioned by their culture today. Using examples from contemporary and popular culture, each chapter covers one of seven intersecting themes: place and environment, education, work and leisure; gender, sex and the family; youth culture and style; class and politics; ethnicity and language; religion and heritage.

An Introduction

The Ideology of Global Charity

Catharina Raudvere, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Ilan Kapoor, York University, Canada.

Assessing Islam as a truly global phenomenon, Catharina Raudvere engages thoroughly with history (explaining the significance of the revelation of the Prophet Muhammad and the origins of the different Sunni and Shi'a groups within Islam), while also giving full and comprehensive coverage to Muslim ritual life and Islamic ethics. She discusses moral debates and modern lifestyle issues such as halal consumption, interfaith dialogue and controversy over the wearing of the veil. In addition, the author focuses on the meaning and continuing application to modern life of the Quran and hadith as sources for Islamic theology (kalam) and jurisprudence (fiqh).

This book examines this new phenomenon, arguing that celebrity humanitarianism legitimates and indeed promotes, neoliberal capitalism and global inequality. Drawing on Slavoj Zizek's work, the book argues how celebrity humanitarianism, far from being altruistic, is significantly contaminated and ideological: it is most often self-serving, helping to promote institutional aggrandizement and the celebrity 'brand'; it advances consumerism and corporate capitalism and rationalizes the very global inequality it seeks to redress; it is fundamentally depoliticizing, despite its pretensions to 'activism'; and it contributes to a 'postdemocratic' political landscape, which appears outwardly open and consensual, but is in fact managed by unaccountable elites.

Among those themes are its Anglo-German origins and the idea of the bourgeois Christmas expressing family virtues; the liberal values at the heart of Anglo-American political, cultural and social life; the need for a touchstone with the past in a age of rapid expansion, and thus the myth of Merrie England; the link with imperial expansion and the position of the mother country; the revival of English music - perhaps the greatest age of church music and carols since the 14th century; printing and publishing and the increase in literacy; shopping and consumerism; and broadcasting.

It offers different perspectives from which to view social, political and cultural ideas about the city and urbanism, through both verbal discussion and photographic representation. It provides introductions to theoretical conceptions of the city that are useful to photographers addressing urban issues, as well as discussing themes that have preoccupied photographers and informed cultural issues central to a discussion of city.

It's no secret that there is a wide-and growinggender gap in American presidential politics. In Leading Men, Jackson Katz offers stunning evidence that American presidential campaigns have evolved into nothing less than quadrennial referenda on competing versions of American manhood. And in the process, he never takes his eye off what this development means for women-as both candidates and citizens. Written in an engaging style that will appeal to general readers, political experts, and activists alike, Leading Men explores some of the major political developments and offers a new way to understand the power of image in presidential politics.

The City

Militant Christianity

The Basics

An Anthropological History

Kevin Archer, University of South Florida, USA.

Alice Beck Kehoe, Marquette University, USA.

The City: The Basics provides a brief yet compelling overview of the study of cities and city life. The book draws on a range of perspectives - economic, political, cultural, and environmental aspects are all considered - to provide a broad comparison of the evolution of cities in the rich Global North and the poorer Global South. Topics covered in the book include: a brief history of cities from ancient times to the post-modern present; the differences between "global cities" in the North and "megacities" in the South; the environmental impact of urban life and the idea of sustainable cities; urban planning, urban politics and urban poverty.

Militant Christianity has an extensive history, tracing from Indo-European conquests in the Bronze Age, four thousand years ago, to the AD 312 victory of the ruthless Roman emperor Constantine, and beyond. Indo-Europeans' ethos of war as the natural human condition and glorifying battle persisted through the Protestant Reformation, colonization of America, capitalist industrialization and today's 'marketing era' promoting competition. The book is written as a lively chronicle making clear the astounding power of the ancient cultural tradition embedding our language, and the real battle we face to contain this 'Christian' jihad.

Today's shifting discourses regarding life and death are about theology, medicine, economics, and politics as much as they are about life and death. At the heart of one of these discourses is HIV & AIDS, a pandemic that allows for a slippery discussion about its origins and nature. Theology in the Age of Global AIDS and HIV is a courageous and challenging call to look at how dominant theologies have participated in the creation of 'risk environments' for susceptibility to this virus and to act so that our weeping and raging with the suffering helps us learn how to care for one another and be responsible theo-ethicists and global citizens in this age of global AIDS and HIV.

This powerful book shows us that we are in deep denial about the magnitude of the global environmental challenges and resource constraints facing the world. The authors argue that regardless of whether governments respond to the economic crisis through additional stimulus packages or reduced government spending, environmental and resource constraints will remain. The crisis will be exacerbated by the combination of climate change, ecosystem decline and resource scarcity, in particular crude oil. The concept of Planetary Boundaries is introduced as a powerful explanation of the limits of the biosphere to sustain continued conventional growth.

The Bioregional Economy

Conflict and Family Business

Land, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Kent Rhodes is core faculty at Pepperdine University, USA.

The concept of the ‘bioregion' may facilitate the reconceptualisation of the global economy as a system of largely self-sufficient local economies. The global economy is driven by growth, and the consumption ethic that matches this is one of expansion in range and quantity. Goods are defined as scarce, and access to them is a process based on competition. The bioregional approach challenges every aspect of that value system. It seeks a new ethic of consumption that prioritises locality, accountability and conviviality in the place of expansion and profit; it proposes a shift in the focus of the economy away from profits and towards provisioning; it assumes a radical reorientation of work from employment towards livelihood.

With today's unprecedented access to thousands of brands a day, via Twitter, Facebook, and the rest, the balance of brand power is shifting irrevocably away from the businesses behind them. In Brandstorm, branding guru Liz Nicles argues that, as a result, the brand is no longer a value proposition in itself, and that marketers and brand managers must stop the dilution and focus on meaningful, marketspecific reinvention for those brands that can stand the test of time. She offers the success secrets behind leaving brands like Ralph Lauren, Justin Bieber, and Revlon and how to channel them today.

This book analyzes the European Great Recession of 2008-12, its economic and social causes, its historical roots, and the policies adopted by the European Union to find a way out of it. It contains explicit debates with several economists and analysts on some of the most controversial questions about the causes of the crisis and the policies applied by the European Union. It presents the cases of Iceland, Greece and Ireland, the countries that first declined into crisis in Europe, each of them in a different way. This book critically analyzes the debate around austerity policy. The creation of important supra-national institutions, and of a financial supervisory authority and stability mechanisms, strengthens integration.

An op-ed piece from Tom Doctoroff’s What Chinese Want ran in the August 17 issue of The Deal, the business magazine of The Australian newspaper.

Francis Bidault has been a Full Professor at ESMT European School of Management and Technology, Germany, since September 2005. Open Innovation is good up to a certain point, past a certain level, however, it becomes extremely dangerous. It is crucial therefore that a companies 'sweet spot', the optimum point where open innovation is beneficial, is found before it becomes hazardous. Using strong research Francis Bidault guides the reader through this innovation journey.

China is a critical player in the global marketplace, but there is still widespread confusion about what really makes the country tick, even the Chinese have difficulty explaining their own ‘Chineseness’ to outsiders. In What Chinese Want, China expert Tom Doctoroff posits that China’s distinguishing traits explain the country in profound ways. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230340305, NZRP$49.95 May 2012, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan

Art and Psychoanalysis

Contemporary Mise en Scène

Maria Walsh, University of the Arts, London.

Staging Theatre Today

Often derided as unscientific and self-indulgent, psychoanalysis has been an invaluable resource for artists, art critics and historians throughout the twentieth century. Art and Psychoanalysis investigates these encounters. The shared relationship to the unconscious severed from Romantic inspiration by Freud, is traced from the Surealist engagement with psychoanalytic imagery to the contemporary critic's use of psychoanalytic concepts as tools to understand how meaning operates. Following the theme of the 'object' with its varying materiality, Walsh develops her argument that psychoanalysis, like art, is a cultural discourse about the mind in which the authority of discourse itself can be undermined, provoking ambiguity and uncertainty and destablising identity.

Sarah Street, University of Bristol, UK.

His works include The Cambridge Introduction to Modern British Theatre (2010), Performance Research 14.2 'On Training' (2009), Theatre, Body and Pleasure (2006) and Drama/Theatre/Performance (with Mick Wallis) (2004).

This is the first nationally-focused study of colour style and technology. This book reveals how the introduction of colour into British film was controversial - greeted by some as an exciting development with scope for developing a uniquely British aesthetic, while others feared its impact on audiences accustomed to seeing black-and-white films that were frequently praised as being superior. Yet many British inventors and filmmakers were captivated by the possibilities created by colour, exploiting different processes and producing films that demonstrated remarkable experimentation and quality. Beautifully illustrated by stills from a range of important short and feature films and with analyses of many celebrated and lesser known films including The Open Road, The Glorious Adventure, and This Is Colour.

This is Patrice Pavis' masterful analysis of the role stagecraft has played in the creation and practice of theatre throughout history. This stunningly ambitious study considers: the staged reading, and the frontiers of mise en scène scenography, which sometimes replaces staging the reinterpretation of classical and contemporary works the extension of intercultural theatre and ritual new technologies and their live usage on the stage the postmodern practice of deconstruction. But it also applies sustained critical attention to the challenges of defining mise en scène, of tracking its development, and of exploring its possible futures.

Is directing an art? Do directors need to be trained? What do directors actually do? These questions and more are answered in this accessibly written survey of the art of theatre direction. Its broad scope ranges across the theatres of both America and Europe, looking at practices from Stanislavski up to the present day.

This book about how television formats go global asks what the "Betty" phenomenon can tell us about the international circulation of locally produced TV fictions as the Latin American telenovela is sold to, and/or re-made for, different national contexts. The contributors explore what "Betty" says about the tensions between multimedia conglomerates' commercial demands and the regulatory forces of national broadcasters, about national TV industries' struggle in competitive markets, and about what this international trade reveals about cultural storytelling and audience experience, as well as ideologies of feminine beauty. The book features original interviews with buyers and schedulers, writers, story editors and directors, including the creator of Yo soy Betty, la fea, Fernando Gaitan.

Since the turn of the millennium, the financial health of the news industry is failing, mainstream audiences are on the decline, and professional authority, credibility and autonomy are eroding. This book explores how the news media attempts to combat decreasing levels of trust, how emerging forms of news affect the established journalistic field, and how participatory culture creates new dialogues between journalists and audiences. Crucially, it does not treat these developments as distinct transformations. Instead, it considers how their interrelation accounts for both the tribulations of the news media and the need for contemporary journalism to redefine itself.

The Waltons drama series about John and Olivia Walton, their ageing parents Zeb and Esther and their seven children in 1930s and '40s America was a successful show throughout the 1970s. The Waltons was on TV screens through a socially and politically volatile period, when Nixon-era America was confronting the impending withdrawal of troops from Vietnam. The show, Mike Chopra-Gant demonstrates in this fascinating book, expressed a wider nostalgic desire in its audience to return to traditional conservatism and paternalistic family values at this time of political crisis. He examines its deployment of key myths, and its vision of family as against current TV depictions, featuring the likes of the Addams, the Simpsons, and the Sopranos.

The Demonic

Spatiality

Literature and Experience

Robert T. Tally Jr., Texas State University, USA.

Ewan Fernie, University of Birmingham, UK.

Spatiality has risen to become a key concept in literary and cultural studies, with critical focus on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spatial turn' presenting a new approach to the traditional literary analyses of time and history. Robert T. Tally Jr. explores differing aspects of the spatial in literary studies today, providing: an overview of the spatial turn across literary theory, from historicism and postmodernism to postcolonialism and globalization; introductions to the major theorists of spatiality, including Michel Foucault, David Harvey, Edward Soja, Erich Auerbach, Georg LukĂĄcs, and Fredric Jameson; analysis of critical perspectives on spatiality, such as the writer as map-maker, literature of the city and urban space, and the concepts of literary geography, cartographics and geocriticism.

Are we either good or bad, and do we really know the difference? Why do we want what we cannot have, and even to be what we're not? Can we desire others without wanting to possess them? Can we open to others and not risk possession ourselves? And where, in these cases, do we draw the line? Ewan Fernie argues that the demonic tradition in literature offers a key to our most agonised and intimate experiences. The Demonic ranges across the breadth of Western culture, engaging with writers as central and various as Luther, Shakespeare, Hegel, Dostoevsky, Melville and Mann. A powerful foreword by Jonathan Dollimore brings out its implications as an intellectual and stylistic breakthrough into new ways of writing criticism.

PUBLICITY POST ✪✪✪✪✪

it’s worth remembering that, as the blurb on the back of this delightful illustrated anthology states, “loved and hated in equal measure, London was for centuries literally the world’s greatest city”. Here, excerpts from histories, diaries, letters, memoirs, jottings, observations, reportage, verse, fictions and travelogues from across the centuries by luminaries such as Charles Dickens, Thomas More, Peter Ackroyd, William Wordsworth, Samuel Pepys and many, many more are skilfully selected, edited and organised by Thomas Wright into sections such as The City, Outside the Walls, The West End and London Life, Customs and Morals. As Ackroyd writes in his lively introduction: “As this anthology demonstrates, it is the infinite and inexhaustible city. - The West Australian, June 12, 2012.

This is an innovative reference guide to Italian, combining traditional and function-based grammar in a single volume. With a strong emphasis on contemporary usage, all grammar points and functions are richly illustrated with examples. The book includes clearer explanations, as well as a greater emphasis on areas of particular difficulty for learners of Italian. Divided into two sections, the book covers traditional grammatical categories such as word order, nouns, verbs and adjectives, language functions and notions such as giving and seeking information, describing processes and results, and expressing likes, dislikes and preferences.

HEALTH, LIFESTYLE & SUSTAINABILITY Stress Control Stress-Busting Strategies for The 21st Century Susah Balfour. This book combines the necessary medical information with a contemporary snapshot on today's society, an analysis of what is happening to humankind now that we are well into the twenty first century.

Navigating the Perfect Moral Storm

Following the Wine Trail from Genesis to the Modern Age

$59.95 Pb ISBN 9780415625722 Publish November 2012 320 pages Routledge NZRP$74.95

Joel Butler is the president of the Institute of Masters of Wine, USA and Randall Heskett, University of Toronto, Canada.

This book examines why thirty-five years of discussion of human-induced warming has failed to acknowledge fundamental ethical concerns, and subjects climate change's most important policy questions to ethical analysis. This book examines why ethical principles have failed to gain traction in policy formation and recommends specific strategies to ensure that climate change policies are consistent with ethical principles. Because climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution and given that many nations refuse participation due to perceived inequities of an international solution, this book explains why ensuring that nations, sub-national governments, organizations, businesses and individuals acknowledge and respond to their ethical obligations is both an ethical and practical mandate.

How to Help Solve the Environmental Crisis

The Cancun Regin, Yucatan Peninsula, Oacaxa, Chiapas and Tabasco

Dr Haydn Washington, University of New South Wales, Australia.

Les Beletsky is a professional wildlife biologist and professor of zoology. He is the author of numerous books, including Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru in this series.

Humanity is dependent on Nature to survive, yet our society largely acts as if this is not the case. This book examines why we deny or ignore this dependence and what we can do differently to help solve the environmental crisis. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Washington provides an excellent overview of humanity's relationship with Nature. The book looks at energy flow, nutrient cycling, ecosystem services, ecosystem collapse as well as exploring our psychological and spiritual dependency on nature. It also examines anthropocentrism and denial as causes of our unwillingness to respect our inherent dependence on the natural environment.

The Politics of Land and Food Scarcity

A Traveller's History of Southeast Asia

Paolo De Castro and Felice Adinolfi, University of Bologna, Italy; Fabian Capitanio, University of Naples, Italy; Salvatore Di Falco, London School of Economics, UK and Angelo Di Mambro.

Second Edition

In recent years the issue of food security has become centre stage in the global agenda. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides an overview of the new global challenges connected with land, food supply and agriculture. It also contributes to engagement in a new global food policy, through a political analysis of land and food scarcity, including 'land grabs' by affluent countries in poorer nations. It does not simply raise the debate; rather it aspires to move forward the debate that has started with the G20 meetings. It discusses how national governments, local agricultural policies and supranational entities are facing the new scenario of feeding a growing population when land resources are limited and subject to competing claims.

Southeast Asia is a region blessed with a rich diversity of cultures, peoples, and scenery. A Traveller's History of Southeast Asia is a lucid and concise introduction to the histories of the modern states of Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, and East Timor, providing an essential guide for both visitors and general readers. It spans the history of the region from "Java Man" some one million years ago to the development of the high-tech, skyscraper cities of the new millennium.
