The Road to Tahrir Square

Making Change Happen

Egypt and the United States from the Rise of Nasser to the Fall of Mubarak

Tim Gee works with campaigning organisations to support collective campaigns. He is active with the Climate Camp and numerous grassroots community campaigns. He has an MA in Politics from Edinburgh University, where he was also active in the student movement. Tim has contributed to several campaigning guides and manuals as well as delivering training sessions for activists. This book argues that no major campaign has ever been successful without Counterpower, defined as “the power that the ‘have-nots’ can use to remove the power of the ‘haves’”. This contention is examined by investigating the history and tactics of the suffrage movement, the labour movement, the antiwar movement, the anti-colonial movement, the environmental movement and today’s global justice/anti-globalisation movement. In the context of the financial crisis and the threat of climate change, engagement in system critical social movements is on the increase. There is a clear need for a book to demystify the power dynamics of successful social change, to persuade those who believe that activism doesn’t make a difference that it can, and it does. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780260327 Publish October 2011, 208 pages New Internationalist Political Activism Quantity

Lloyd C. Gardner is the Charles and Mary Beard Professor of History at Rutgers University and the author and editor of more than a dozen books, including The Long Road to Baghdad and Three Kings. He lives in Newtown, Pennsylvania. When protesters in Egypt began to fill Cairo’s Tahrir Square on January 25th - and refused to leave until their demand that Hosni Mubarak step down was met - the politics of the region changed overnight. And the United States’ long friendship with the man who had ruled under Emergency Law for thirty years came starkly into question. This timely new book answers the urgent question of why Egypt has mattered so much to the United States. The Road to Tahrir Square is the first book to connect past and present, offering readers today an understanding of the events and forces determining American policy in this vitally important region. Making full use of the available records - including the controversial Wikileaks archive - renowned historian Lloyd C. Gardner shows how the United States has sought to influence Egypt through economic aid, massive military assistance, and CIA manipulations. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595587213, NZRP$32.95 Publish October 2011, 240 pages The New Press Quantity Current Affairs / History

Boyle, author of many books, including The Women; Toby Litt, author of eleven novels and story collections; Lydia Millet, finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize; Wu Ming1, one part of the quartet of authors, Wu Ming; David Mitchell has twice been shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Nathaniel Rich author of The Mayor’s Tongue; Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Mars Trilogy; and Helen Simpson, prize-winning short sotry writer and novelist. Introduction by Bill McKibben.

Eric Rasmussen is department chair and professor of English at the University of Nevada. He is co-editor of the RSC Complete Works of William Shakespeare, and since 1997, he has written the annual review of editions and textual studies for Shakespeare Survey. He lives in Reno, Nevada.

The magnitude of the global climate crisis is such that even the most committed environmentalists are liable to live in a state of denial. The award-winning writers collected here have made it their task to shake off this disbelief, bringing the incomprehensible within our grasp and shaping an emotional response to mankind’s unwitting creation of a tough new planet. The aim is to make the danger posed by climate change as accessible to the imagination as subjects more common to the best of contemporary fiction. Royalties from I’m with the Bears will go to 350.org, an international grassroots movement working to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677443, NZRP$24.95 Publish October 2011, 200 pages Verso Quantity Environmental Fiction

The first edition of Shakespeare’s collected works, the First Folio, published in 1623, is one of the most valuable books in the world and has historically proven to be an attractive target for thieves. Of the 160 First Folios listed in a census of 1902, 14 were subsequently stolen - and only two of these were ever recovered. In his efforts to catalog all these precious First Folios, renowned Shakespeare scholar Eric Rasmussen embarked on a riveting journey around the globe, involving run-ins with heavily tattooed criminal street gangs in Tokyo, bizarre visits with eccentric, reclusive billionaires, and intense battles of wills with secretive librarians. We hear about Folios that were censored, the pages ripped out of them, about a volume that was marked in red paint - or is it blood? - on every page; and of yet another that has a bullet lodged in its pages. Part literary detective story, part Shakespearean lore, The Shakespeare Thefts will charm the Bard’s many fans. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230109414, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2011, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Popular Literary History 9 780230 109414

The Accidental Captives

How to be an Existentialist

The Story of Seven Women Alone in Nazi Germany

or How to Get Real, Get a Grip and Stop Making Excuses

Carolyn Gossage is a historian and author.

Gary Cox, University of Birmingham, UK.

In April 1941, a passenger was attacked and sunk by a German raider in the South Atlantic. The passengers were pulled from the waters and, as (at that time) neutral citizens of the United States, they were released and returned home. Yet amidst the excitement generated by the captives’ release, the fate of those left behind was all but forgotten. Among these unlucky few were seven Canadian women, whose remarkable wartime journey was only just beginning. Who were these seven strangers and how did they survive Hitler’s internment camps, the war-ravaged streets of Berlin and the threat of the omnipresent Gestapo? $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848859913, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Quantity I.B.Tauris Publishers History / Adventure

How to Be an Existentialist is a concise, witty and entertaining book about the philosophy of existentialism. It is also a genuine self-help book offering clear advice on how to live according to the principles of existentialism formulated by the great existentialist philosophers. An attack on contemporary excuse culture, the book urges us to face the hard existential truths of the human condition. It uncompromisingly counsels us to become tougher and more dignified, less grumbling and irresponsible, to stop chasing rainbows and making excuses and instead get a grip and get real. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441139870, NZRP$24.95 Publish October 2011, 136 pages Continuum Quantity Popular Philosophy

How to Climb Mont Blanc in a Skirt

The Story of Che’s “Lost” Year in Africa

A Handbook for the Lady Adventurer

Ernesto Che Guevara was the legendary Latin American guerrilla fighter who joined the Cuban revolutionary movement that toppled the Batista dictatorship. Aleida Guevara is the eldest daughter of Ernesto Che Guevara and Aleida March.

Mick Conefrey is a filmmaker who has made awardwinning documentaries.

Che Guevara’s disappearance from Cuba in 1965 aroused much speculation. In preparation for the fateful Bolivian mission, Che led a secret Cuban force to aid the liberation movement in the Belgian Congo (later known as Zaire) after Patrice Lumumba was assassinated there. Unpublished for decades because of its controversial content, this account of Che‘s “lost” year in Africa reflects his great literary gift, his characteristic insightfulness, his dry wit and brutal honesty. $27.00 Pb, ISBN 9780980429299, NZRP$39.95 Publish October 2011, 275 pages Ocean Press Quantity Memoir / History

Il Duce and His Women

Mary Warnock is currently an Independent Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords.

Mussolini’s Rise to Power

Much of Mary Warnock’s published work had focused on particular ethical problems - from issues in medicine to the place of religion in politics - but here she writes for the first time about her own personal convictions. The human imagination, she argues, makes it possible for us to catch glimpses of things other than what is before our eyes. For some this is religion. For others, including herself, it is the symbolic or the aesthetic - music and art - that takes the imagination near to religious ideas. As a humanist who values religion for its unique contribution to human society, she offers a thought-provoking and deeply felt contribution to debates about personal well-being. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844652952, NZRP$39.95 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Acumen Publishing Quantity Popular Philosophy

Out of the ruins and savagery of Second World War, the figure of Benito Mussolini looms large as one of the most influential during the first half of the twentieth century. Il Duce and His Women charts the main events in Mussolini’s private and public life, from his humble beginnings in Romagna as the son of a blacksmith to his years as the director of a leading Socialist newspaper and his irresistible rise to power, with a particular focus on his renowned appetite for women, and the lesserknown influence they had on his decision-making. The result is a riveting account that will shock and haunt the readers for a long time. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881466, NZRP$44.95 Publish October 2011, 450 pages Alma Quantity Biography

Cities are a mass of contradictions. They can be at once visually stunning, culturally rich, exploitative and unforgiving. The Lure of the City explores the potential of cities to meet the economic, social and political challenges of the current age. It seeks to examine the dynamics of urban life, showing that new opportunities can be maximised and social advances realised in existing and emerging urban centres. It argues convincingly that the metropolitan mindset is essential to the struggle for human liberation. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331775, NZRP$39.95 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Pluto Quantity Sociology / Urban Studies

Ben Anderson has been making documentaries and writing for over 14 years, producing over forty films for the BBC, Channel 4, and the Discovery Channel. Critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ben Anderson provides a gripping account of the frontline in Helmand province, Afghanistan, and details how it has descended into a quagmire, with ever-increasing levels of violence and confusion.

Russia under Vladimir Putin has proved a prickly partner for the West, a far cry from the democratic ally many hoped for when the Soviet Union collapsed. Abroad, he has used Russia’s energy might as a foreign policy weapon, while at home he has cracked down on opponents, adamant that only he has the right vision for his country’s future. Angus Roxburgh argues that the West threw away chances to bring Russia in from the cold, by failing to understand its fears and aspirations following the collapse of communism. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781780760162, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2011, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Current Affairs / International Relations

Climate Justice Versus Climate Change

Population, Immigration, and the Environmental Crisis

Evo Morales was first elected President of Bolivia in 2006. A decade and a half after the Kyoto Protocol was blocked by the United States’ refusal to sign, the global effort to halt climate change is stalled, while the climate crisis only worsens. This stirring book sets forth an alternative vision for achieving climate justice - and ultimately, for halting the ongoing destruction of what its author famously calls “Pachamama,” Mother Earth. The book identifies the causes, progress, and effects of climate change, making clear why planet earth is imperiled - and where the true roots of the crisis reach.

Nietzsche’s critiques of traditional modes of thinking, valuing and living, as well as his radical proposals for new alternatives, have been vastly influential in a wide variety of areas, such that an understanding of his philosophy and its influence is important for grasping many aspects of contemporary thought and culture. However Nietzsche’s thought is complex and elusive, and has been interpreted in many ways. This book charts Nietzsche’s influence, both historically and thematically, across a variety of these contrasting disciplines and schools of interpretation. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844652938, NZRP$42.95 Publish October 2011, 240 pages Acumen Publishing Philosophy Quantity

The Secret War Journals

The United States of Fear

Hugh Trevor-Roper was perhaps the most brilliant historian of his generation.

Tom Engelhardt created and runs TomDispatch.com, a project of The Nation Institute.

The Secret War Journals reveal the voice and experiences of Trevor-Roper, a war-time ‘backroom boy’ who spent most of the war engaged in highly-confidential intelligence work in England including breaking the cipher code of the German secret service, the Abwehr. He became an expert in German resistance plots and after the war interrogated many of Hitler’s immediate circle, investigated Hitler’s death in the Berlin bunker and personally retrieved Hitler’s will from its secret hiding place. The posthumous discovery of TrevorRoper’s secret journals is an exciting archival find and provides an unusual and privileged view of the Allied war effort against Nazi Germany. $54.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848859906, NZRP$69.95 Publish October 2011, 320 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History / Memoir

Tom Engelhardt makes clear that Americans should don their crash helmets and buckle their seat belts, because the United States is on the path to a major decline at a startling speed. Engelhardt offers a savage anatomy of how successive administrations in Washington took the “Soviet path” - pouring American treasure into the military, war, and national security - and so helped drive their country off the nearest cliff. This is the startling tale of how fear was profitably shot into the national bloodstream, how the country - gripped by terror fantasies - was locked down, and how a brain-dead Washington elite fiddled (and profited) while America quietly burned. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781608461547, NZRP$29.95 Publish October 2011, 200 pages Haymarket Books Quantity Current Affairs

After the Holocaust

The Emancipated Spectator

Challenging the Myth of Silence

Jacques Rancière, University of Paris- VIII.

David Cesarani, University of London, UK, and Eric J. Sundquist, University of California, USA.

In this follow-up to the acclaimed The Future of the Image, Rancière takes a radically different approach to this attempted emancipation. First asking exactly what we mean by political art or the politics of art, he goes on to look at what the tradition of critical art, and the desire to insert art into life, has achieved. Has the militant critique of the consumption of images and commodities become, ironically, a sad affirmation of its omnipotence? $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677610, NZRP$29.95 Publish October 2011, 134 pages Verso History & Philosophy

For the last decade scholars have been questioning the idea that the Holocaust was not talked about in any way until well into the 1970s. After the Holocaust is the first collection of authoritative, original scholarship to expose a serious misreading of the past on which, controversially, the claims for a ‘Holocaust industry’ rest. Taking an international approach this bold new book exposes the myth and opens the way for a sweeping reassessment of Jewish life in the postwar era, a life lived in the pervasive, shared awareness that Jews had narrowly survived a catastrophe that had engulfed humanity as a whole but claimed two-thirds of their number. $62.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415616768, NZRP$78.00 Publish October 2011, 256 pages Routledge Quantity History & Philosophy

The Contours of American History

Guantánamo

William Appleman Williams, former president of the Organization of American Historians.

An American History

Contours of American History, first published in 1961, reached back to seventeenth-century British history to argue that the relationship between liberalism and empire was in effect a grand compromise, with expansion abroad containing class and race tensions at home. Coming as it did before the political explosions of the 1960s, Williams’s message was a deeply heretical one, and yet the Modern Library ultimately chose Contours as one of the best 100 nonfiction books of the 20th Century. This fiftieth anniversary edition will introduce this magisterial work to a new readership, with a new introduction by Greg Grandin, one of today’s leading historians of US foreign policy. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844677740, NZRP$58.00 Publish October 2011, 554 pages Verso Quantity History & Philosophy

Hansen tells the complete story of this interstitial place for the first time.

This book reflects on the nature of religion and how it relates or ought to relate to the rest of life. It argues that to value religion as the essential foundation of morality is a profound and probably dangerous mistake. Warnock’s overriding purpose is to prise apart religion and morality. Judges for example are constantly being asked to pass judgement on moral issues in court. Because of The Human Rights Act, the law perforce is involved. Morality is therefore increasingly a public and not just a private matter. This book attempts to clarify the foundation of morality in a society largely indifferent to and ignorant of religion. $25.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441145420, NZRP$32.00 Publish October 2011, 184 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

Semantic externalism is the view that the meanings of referring terms, and the contents of beliefs that are expressed by those terms, are not fully determined by factors internal to the speaker but are instead bound up with the environment. The debate about semantic externalism is one of the most important but difficult topics in philosophy of mind and language, and has consequences for our understanding of the role of social institutions and the physical environment in constituting language and the mind.

It initiates the philosophy of metaReality, the third main phase of Roy Bhaskar’s philosophical thoughts, after original or basic critical realism and dialectical critical realism. Originally published in 2002 and based on talks given in India, Europe and America, Roy Bhaskar presents his new philosophy of meta-Reality as a radical extension, systematic development and proleptic completion of critical realism. $55.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415619035, NZRP$69.95 Publish October 2011, 320 pages Routledge History & Philosophy

A fascinating exploration of the corridors of power in Byzantium of the time of Justinian (527-565), this book reveals how Empress Theodora and Antonina were remarkable examples of social mobility, moving into positions of power and influence, becoming wives of key figures. Theodora had three aims: to protect those Christians who would not accept the Chalcedonian Creed; to advance the careers of her family and friends; and to defend the poor and assist the defenceless. Antonina managed her husband, Belisarius, and advanced his career, and would outlive the main players of the age of Justinian. $46.00 Hb, ISBN 9781441140784, NZRP$58.00 Publish October 2011, 288 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

The Future of Social Democracy in Europe

Precaution, Compensation and Triage

Olaf Cramme and Patrick Diamond, both Policy Network.

Catriona McKinnon, University of Reading, UK.

The social democratic parties were once the strongest political forces in Europe. Today, however, they appear disorientated and rudderless, crucially lacking the ideological, intellectual and organisational vitality which underpinned their strength in the post-war political landscape. This book marks a serious attempt to forge the intellectual backbone of a renewed social democracy fit for the 21st century. Bringing together leading academics, political thinkers and policy experts, it offers a new and original perspective on ideological and policy innovation. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9781848859937, NZRP$43.00 Publish October 2011, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Dr. George Ayittey is an advisor to the Obama administration on forging a new path for Africa.

Australia’s encounters with the Middle East have historically been defined initially through its membership of the British Empire, later as a key Commonwealth player and more recently through Australia’s close strategic relationship with the US. This book traces the nature of the AustraliaMiddle East relationship, from an insular ‘White Australia’ ideology through to the global impact of September 11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the new and menacing terror threat that has arrived on its own doorstep. $54.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848859685, NZRP$69.95 Publish October 2011, 272 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

African policy expert George Ayittey argues that before Africa can prosper, she must be free. Taking a hard look at the fight against dictatorships around the world, he examines what strategies worked in the struggle to establish democracy through revolution. What he finds is that when citizens successfully harness the power of democratic institutions and grassroots efforts they can bring stability and security to the continent. Ayittey also offers strategies for the West to help Africa in her quest for freedom, including smarter sanctions and establishing fellowships for African students. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230108592, NZRP$51.00 Publish October 2011, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Carbon Democracy

European Union Security

Political Power in the Age of Oil

From Cold War to Terror War

Timothy Mitchell, Columbia University, USA.

Steve Marsh, Cardiff University, UK, and Wyn Rees, University of Nottingham, UK.

How do oil and democracy mix? Oil is a curse, we are told, that causes corruption and war, but Carbon Democracy tells a different story. Timothy Mitchell rethinks the history of energy, the politics of nature, the work of democracy, and the place of the Middle East in our common world. Oil offered the West an alternative source of energy, and a different form of politics. And it left us with an impoverished political practice, incapable of addressing the crises that threaten to end the age of carbon democracy- the disappearance of cheap energy and the carbon-fueled collapse of the ecological order. $39.00 Hb, ISBN 9781844677450, NZRP$49.00 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Verso Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

These essays shed light on one of the leading debates in the field: whether democracies should and do maintain peace with each other.

Palgrave Publicity Spotlight On….

On Tour

In May 2011, Syed Saleem Shahzad, author of Inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, a prominent Pakistani journalist who investigated links between the military and al-Qaeda was abducted and killed in Pakistan. This occurred days after writing an article suggesting that insiders in the Pakistani navy had colluded with Al-Qaeda in an attack on a naval air station.

Stan van Hooft, author of Hope will be launching his book at the Melbourne Writer’s Festival on September 3rd, 2011.

Shahzad dedicated his life to revealing the strategies and inner workings of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. He had access to toplevel commanders in both movements, as well as within the ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence service. Shahzad’s work was praised by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for ‘bringing to light the troubles extremism poses to Pakistan’s stability’. Inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban explains the wider aims of both organisations and provides an essential analysis of major terrorist incidents, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks. This book is a testament to his fearless reporting and analytical rigour.

A Dog’s Heart

The Theatre and Its Double

Mikhail Bulgakov’s most famous work is The Master and Margarita.

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) was a remarkable French playwright and poet.

When a stray dog dying on the streets of Moscow is taken in by a wealthy professor, he is subjected to medical experiments in which he receives various transplants of human organs. As he unpredictably begins to transform into a rowdy, unkempt human by the name of Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov, his actions distress the professor and those surrounding him, although he finds himself welcomed into the ranks of the Soviet state. A parodical reworking of the Frankenstein myth and a vicious satire of the Communist revolution and the concept of the New Soviet man, A Dog’s Heart was banned by the censors in 1925 and circulated only in samizdat form. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847492012, NZRP$24.95 Publish October 2011, 144 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

First published in 1938, The Theatre and Its Double is a collection of essays detailing Antonin Artaud’s radical theories on drama, which he saw as being stifled by conservatism and lack of experimentation. It contains the famous manifestos of the ‘Theatre of Cruelty’, analyses the underlying impulses of performance, provides some suggestions on a physical training method for actors and actresses, and features a long appreciation of the expressive values of eastern dance drama. Also included is ‘Seraphim’s Theatre’, in which Artaud attempts an actor’s application of the Taoist principles of fullness and emptiness. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490780, NZRP$22.95 Published February 2010, 160 pages Oneworld Classics Drama Quantity

Guignol’s Band

Dictionary of Received Ideas

Louis-Ferdinand Céline was one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century.

Gustave Flaubert (1821–80) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time.

Céline’s third novel, first published in 1944 but dealing with events taking place during the First World War, Guignol’s Band follows the narrator’s meanderings through London after he has been demobilized due to a war injury. The result is a frank, uncompromising, yet grotesquely funny portrayal of the English capital’s seedy underworld, peopled by prostitutes, pimps and schemers. Often considered to be Céline’s funniest work, Guignol’s Band showcases its author’s idiosyncratic style at its finest, frantically blending slang, invective, onomatopoeia with literary language, and bridging the gap between gritty realism and absurd mysticism. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491992, NZRP$29.95 Publish October 2011, 256 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

A spoof encyclopedia of contemporary accepted wisdom and commonplaces, Dictionary of Received Ideas sees Flaubert at his witty and satirical best. Perhaps intended as a companion to his final, unfinished novel Bouvard and Pécuchet, this compilation was the result of a lifetime of collecting the absurd and the clichéd with darkly humorous explanations. A playful look at nineteenth-century values and talking points, this dictionary will provide enduring entertainment and prove relevant even today. $19.95 Hb, ISBN 9781847491657, NZRP$29.95 Published December 2010, 128 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity

The Life of Our Lord

Charles Dickens now ranks as the most important Victorian writer and one of the most influential and popular authors in the English language.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) is considered one of the finest American writers of the twentieth century.

9 781847 491749

The unnamed narrator of the novel, a former government official, has decided to retire from the world and lead a life of inactivity and contemplation. His fiercely bitter, cynical and witty monologue ranges from general observations and philosophical musings to memorable scenes from his own life. Seen by many as the first existentialist novel and showcasing the best of Dostoevsky’s dry humour, Notes from Underground was a pivotal moment in the development of modern literature and has inspired countless novelists, thinkers and film-makers. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491619, NZRP$22.95 Published November 2010, 160 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity

Invited to an extravagantly lavish party in a Long Island mansion, Nick Carraway is intrigued by the mysterious host, Jay Gatsby, a flamboyant but reserved self-made man with murky business interests and a shadowy past. As the two men strike up an unlikely friendship, details of Gatsby’s impossible love for a married woman emerge, until events spiral into tragedy. Regarded as Fitzgerald’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Great Gatsby is a vivid chronicle of the excesses and decadence of the “Jazz Age”, as well as a timeless cautionary critique of the American dream. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491749, NZRP$19.95 Published March 2011, 256 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

Never published in its author’s lifetime and intended solely for his own children, to whom he read it every Christmas, The Life of Our Lord is an accessible and gently humorous take on the life of Jesus Christ and his teachings. Far removed from the sharp satire and social dimension of his more famous writings, but showcasing his characteristic humanity and genius for storytelling, this is both an essential work for those wanting to see a different, more intimate side to Dickens and a timeless retelling for children and adults alike. $19.95 Hb, ISBN 9781847491664, NZRP$29.95 Published December 2010, 128 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction

When the blind narrator, the masseur Louis Dunkel, moves into the Cornwall country house of his patient Mrs Nance, he becomes fascinated by her niece Sophie, a haughty young woman. Their resulting romance, however, is unsettled by the arrival of the blind, deaf and dumb Amity Nance. The introspective Dunkel tries to interpret and negotiate the pitfalls of a difficult and at times hostile environment. Written in a subtle, elegant prose which adroitly embraces the impossibility of visual description, Blaze of Noon addresses issues of psychology and perception, whilst pioneering, in the eyes of various critics, avant-garde narrative techniques. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847492029, NZRP$24.95 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

The Devil's Elixirs

The Italian

E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was a composer, caricaturist, critic and author. His work, often bizarre and grotesque, was hugely influential on writers such as Dostoevsky, Kafka and Poe.

Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823) was the pioneering author of such classic Gothic novels as The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Italian.

The son of a heinous sinner, Medardus is brought up in a monastery to atone for his father’s wicked ways. However, after succumbing to temptation, Medardus himself is lured into a life of sin. A labyrinthine plot sees him embarking on a fantastical journey into the world, meeting his doppelganger, involving himself in a game of double impersonation, and becoming embroiled in murderous intrigues at the Vatican, before the mysterious curse hanging over him and his family is finally explained. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490841, NZRP$29.95 Published 2009, 288 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

Dracula

The Jew's Beech

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) is now best known for his 1897 novel Dracula, in which he established many of the enduring elements of the western vampire myth.

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797-1848) is considered one of the most important German poets of the nineteenth century.

Regarded as one of the most influential horror tales ever written, and the inspiration for countless literary spin-offs, the tale of the young Englishman Jonathan Harker's journey into the very heart of Count Dracula's evil realm remains a compelling read. A thriller of hypnotic power, a dark exploration of sexuality, mythology, and the supernatural, and a plain old-fashioned masterpiece of storytelling, the nightmarish story of Dracula is one of the all-time classics of supernatural fiction. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490261, NZRP$19.95 Published 2008, 512 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction

Based on a true story, The Jew's Beech centres on two brutal murders in rural Westphalia - the first of a local forester and the second of a Jewish moneylender near a beech tree - and the impact these events have on the life of Friedrich Mergel, a local herdsman with a turbulent family history. A prototype of the murder mystery and a thoughtful examination of village society, this intriguing novella contains hints of the Gothic and the uncanny - ominous thunderstorms, mysterious disappearances, eerie doppelgängers and grisly discoveries in the depths of the forest - as well as a famously ambiguous climax. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490742, NZRP$29.95 Published 2008, 112 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was a composer, caricaturist, critic and author. His work, often bizarre and grotesque, was hugely influential on writers such as Dostoevsky, Kafka and Poe.

Since it was first published in 1818, Mary Shelley's seminal novel has generated countless print, stage and screen adaptations, but none has ever matched the power and philosophical resonance of the original. Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty and the monstrosity inherent to man. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490230, NZRP$19.95 Published 2008, 288 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity

The Haunted House

Northanger Abbey

Charles Dickens now ranks as the most important Victorian writer and one of the most influential and popular authors in the English language.

The witty and sharply satirical novels of Jane Austen have an influence that shows no sign of waning, with continual adaptations and echoes in contemporary culture, and an ever-enthousiastic audience.

Having moved into an abandoned haunted house, the narrator, undaunted by the warnings of the locals, invites a party of friends over, setting them the task of driving out the ghosts from the various rooms and reporting back on Twelfth Night. The resulting ghost stories form the basis of a thrilling narrative. For this work, commissioned for his periodical All the Year Round, Dickens enlisted some of the period’s most famous writers, including Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins, to collaborate with him on this Victorian supernatural classic. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491015, NZRP$24.95 Published 2009, 150 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction

Enlisted by Vincenzo's mother Marchesa di Vivaldi, the perfidious monk Schedoni casts a malevolent presence throughout the book as he tries to thwart the passion of the two young lovers. Against the backdrop of the Catholic Inquisition and the unforgettable scenery of the Bay of Naples and the Apennines, The Italian celebrates the heroic struggle of love in the face of malice and deceit. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847490544, NZRP$24.95 Published 2008, 462 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

With a focus on direct violence, this book situates violent acts within the context of broader political and structural conditions. Violence, it is argued, is both a social and spatial practice. Adopting a geographic perspective, Space, Place, and Violence provides a critical reading of how violence takes place and also produces place. Specifically, four spatial vignettes-home, school, streets, and community-are introduced, designed so that students may think critically how ‘race’, sex, gender, and class inform violent geographies and geographies of violence. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415880855, NZRP$72.00 Publish October 2011, 208 pages Routledge Quantity Society & Culture

Focusing on the US and UK television industries, Branding Television examines the industrial, regulatory and technological changes since the 1980s that have led to the adoption of branding as broadcasters have attempted to manage the behaviour of viewers and the values associated with their channels, services, and programmes in a world of increased choice and interactivity. $51.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415548434, NZRP$64.00 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Routledge Quantity The Arts

Legitimating Television explores the increasingly prevalent idea that TV has gotten better. This notion, circulating in the popular press, the TV industry, and media scholarship, typically references shows like The Sopranos and new technologies like DVRs and HDTV sets. Across these sites, the cultural legitimation of television highlights the medium’s rise in status from its previous reputation as the “idiot box” to a more respectable level, especially among cultural elites. But there are troubling ideological implications to this, as the upgrade of television’s status comes at the expense of forms of TV deemed unworthy. $49.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415880268, NZRP$64.00 Publish October 2011, 192 pages Routledge Quantity The Arts

His Great Expectations

Anne Isba, University of Keele, UK.

Iwona Sadowska, Georgetown University, USA.

On the bicentenary of his birth, this short account of the emotional life of Charles Dickens examines his relationships with some of the women to whom he was closest. They include the mother who failed to recognise his early promise; the young woman who spurned him before he was famous; the wife he cast aside in middle age; the benefactress for whom he managed a house for ‘fallen women’; and the actress, less than half his age, with whom he spent his final years. Each woman casts light on a different aspect of Dickens’s personality. But they were united by a common theme: whatever they gave him, it was rarely enough to satisfy Dickens’s sense of entitlement. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9781441107206, NZRP$44.95 Publish October 2011, 224 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

But many men pay a high price for the pursuit of success and power. Thomas Joiner makes an impassioned call for society to recognize the harmful effects that solitude can have on men. Drawing on original research done for the National Institute of Mental Health, he focuses on the particular situations that leave men rudderless. He offers advice on support systems that are most useful to men, and he offers prescriptive advice on how men can improve their lives. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230104433, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2011, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Health & Lifestyle

How to Save the World with Salad Dressing

12 Great Thinkers Who Sought to Live Well, from Socrates to Nietzsche

And Other Outrageous Science Problems

James Miller, the New School for Social Research.

In The Philosophical Life, James Miller returns to this vibrant tradition with short, lively biographies of twelve famous philosophers. From Plato, who risked his reputation to tutor a tyrant, to Nietzsche who tried to get to grips with the human condition before lapsing into catatonic madness, Miller lays out the lives of our greatest thinkers with flair and rich anecdotes. $29.95 Hb, ISBN 9781851688593, NZRP$39.95 Publish October 2011, 416 pages Oneworld Publications Health & Lifestyle Quantity
