LEAD TITLES Everest 1953 The Epic Story of the First Ascent Mick Conefrey is author of How to Climb Mont Blanc in a Skirt. An internationally-recognised documentary film-maker, he edited and produced the film The Race for Everest with the BBC. In the only book to tell the real story of Everest 1953, Mick Conefrey reveals that what has gone down in history as a supremely well-planned attempt was in fact beset by crises - both on and off the mountain. To succeed, team leader Colonel John Hunt and his team had to draw on unimaginable skill and determination, as well as sheer British ingenuity. Everest 1953 is not only a gripping true story of courage and adventure, but a fascinating window into the media contest to cover this seminal event in coronation year. The Times had exclusive access to the team but the Daily Mail and other papers used subterfuge and shenanigans to get their scoops. Revealing the answers to long-enduring controversies - did Tenzing or Hillary actually reach the top first? - and exploring the legacy of this great ascent, it is the perfect way to commemorate a year of British sporting triumph. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689460, NZRP$54.95 Publish October 2012, 400 pages Oneworld Publications

Tweets and the Streets Social Media and Contemporary Activism Paolo Gerbaudo is Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the American University in Cairo (AUC) and a freelance journalist. He was the UK correspondent of the Italian daily newspaper il manifesto. Tweets and the Streets analyses the culture of the new protest movements of the 21st century. From the Arab Spring to the 'indignados' protests in Spain and the Occupy movement, Paolo Gerbaudo examines the relationship between the rise of social media and the emergence of new forms of protest. Gerbaudo argues that activists' use of Twitter and Facebook does not fit with the image of a 'cyberspace' detached from physical reality. Instead, social media is used as part of a project of re-appropriation of public space, which involves the assembling of different groups around 'occupied' places such as Cairo's Tahrir Square or New York's Zuccotti Park. An exciting and invigorating journey through the new politics of dissent, Tweets and the Streets points both to the creative possibilities and to the risks of political evanescence which new media brings to the contemporary protest experience. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745332482, NZRP$44.95 Publish October 2012, 216 pages Pluto

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY China A Modern History Michael Dillon was founding Director of the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies at the University of Durham, where he taught modern Chinese history. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Asiatic Society and was Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing in 2009. He currently teaches Chinese Studies at Newcastle University, UK. China's transformation in the last few decades has been perhaps the most remarkable - and most controversial - development in modern history. Barely a century removed from the struggling and outdated Qing Empire, China has managed to reinvent itself on an unprecedented scale: from Empire, to Communist state, to hybrid capitalist superpower. Yet the full implications of China's rapid march to modernity are not widely understood - particularly, the effects of China's meteoric rise on the nation's many ethnic minorities. China: A Modern History is the definitive guide to this complex contemporary phenomenon. Deng Xiaoping's 1980s policy of 'reform and opening', which saw China enter the world market, is only the most recent in a series of dramatic shifts that have transformed Chinese society over the past 150 years. China: A Modern History explores these contrasts in detail, while also highlighting the enduring values which have informed Chinese identity for millennia. Michael Dillon's China: A Modern History is essential reading for those interested in the past, present and future course of one of the world's great nations. Clearly and compellingly written, this will stand as the best introduction to this spectacular and still-unfinished story. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780763811, NZRP$39.95 Publish October 2012, 520 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

Paradoxes From A to Z Third Edition Michael Clark is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at The University of Nottingham, UK. He is editor of the leading journal Analysis, and has published widely in a variety of areas, including philosophical logic and the philosophy of law. Paradoxes from A to Z is the essential guide to paradoxes, and takes the reader on a lively tour of puzzles that have taxed thinkers from Zeno to Galileo and Lewis Carroll to Bertrand Russell. Michael Clark uncovers an array of conundrums, such as Achilles and the Tortoise, Theseus' Ship and the Prisoner's Dilemma, taking in subjects as diverse as knowledge, science, art and politics. Clark discusses each paradox in non-technical terms, considering its significance and looking at likely solutions. This third edition is revised throughout, and adds nine new paradoxes that have important bearings in areas such as law, logic, ethics and probability. Paradoxes from A to Z is an ideal starting point for those interested not just in philosophical puzzles and conundrums but anyone seeking to hone their thinking skills. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415538572, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2012, 288 pages Routledge

Adorno
The Almohads
Brian O'Connor, University College Dublin, Ireland.
The Rise of an Islamic Empire
Theodor W. Adorno (1903-69) was one of the foremost philosophers and social theorists of the post-war period. The author explains Adorno's philosophy for those coming to his work for the first time, through original new lines of interpretation. Beginning with an overview of Adorno's life and key philosophical views and influences, which contextualizes the intellectual environment in which he worked, O'Connor assesses the central elements of Adorno's philosophy. He carefully examines Adorno's distinctive style of analysis and shows how much of his work is a critical response to the various forms of identity thinking that have underpinned the destructive forces of modernity.
The Almohad Empire at its zenith in the 12th century was the major power in the Mediterranean and North Africa, ruling a huge region from the Atlas mountains to Andalusia. Allen Fromherz, drawing on medieval Arabic and Berber sources, analyses the myth and history surrounding the rise of the Almohad Empire. He shows how Muhammad Ibn Tumart, the son of a minor Berber tribal chief, would herald the golden age of Islam - provided charismatic leadership, unwavering adherence to a fundamentalist monotheistic Islam enforced by holy warm established tribal unity, effective administration and a formidable military force. Here were the sinews of the empire's power and the base for lasting political and cultural influence in the Middle East and Europe.

Sebastian Conrad, Free University, Germany and Dominic Sachsenmaier, Duke University, USA.
Collecting together the responses to this question from 15 of the world's foremost historians and theorists, this book represents a powerful reflection on and intervention in the historiographical field. Emerging from an intensely fertile period of historical thought and practice, it examines the variety of approaches to the discipline that have taken shape during this time and suggests possible future ways of thinking about and interacting with the past. It provides a unique insight into recent debates on the nature and purpose of history and demonstrates that when diverse metaphysical and aesthetic choices are made, the nature of the representation of the past becomes a matter of legitimate dispute.

Bringing together scholars from around the world, this book raises the question of how we can get away from the contemporary language of globalization, to identify meaningful, global ways of defining historical events and processes in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contributors trace the historical trajectories of notions of world order, while proposing cutting-edge transnational and global approaches. The essayists grapple with broad and critical questions, including the role of global discourses, the politics of new global movements, the impact of global intellectual developments, and the emergence of competing visions of world order.

An Environmental History of the Middle Ages
Alain Badiou, École Normale Supérieure and the Collège International de Philosophie, France.
$22.95 Hb ISBN 9781844679867 Publish October 2012 128 pages Verso NZRP$29.95
The author has researched and written on subaltern groups, and, in particular, peasants, rebellion, resistance, and agriculture. This book covers three distinct yet interlinked bodies of work. The first lays out a framework for understanding peasant politics and rebellion. Scott then goes on to develop his arguments regarding everyday forms of peasant resistance using the comparative example of the religious tithe in France and Malaysia, and tracing the forms of resistance that cover their own tracks and avoid direct clashes with authorities. Finally, Scott explores how the state's increasing grip on its population: its identity, land-holding, income, and movements, is a precondition for political hegemony.
The Crucible of Nature
This concise, accessible volume captures the relationship between politics and philosophy as it is conceived in Alain Badiou's work. Badiou explains how politics conditions philosophy, while suggesting that philosophy itself may be needed to clarify the truths produced within the political condition. Badiou also offers an intriguing take on what he calls the four major "ensembles" of French and, more broadly, Western society today, in which new emancipatory forms of politics are emerging: students, the young, workers and immigrants. Badiou concludes with a return to the notion of communism, here defined as an answer to the obscure knot that ties politics, philosophy and democracy.

This book is a unique and unprecedented cultural survey of attitudes towards the environment during the Middle Ages. Humankind's relationship with the environment shifted gradually over time from a predominantly adversarial approach to something more overtly collaborative, until a series of ecological crises in the late Middle Ages. Exploring the entire medieval period from 500 to 1500, and ranging across the whole of Europe the author focuses his study on three key areas: the natural elements of air, water, and earth; the forest; and wild and domestic animals.

Jodi Dean argues for the continued force of communism today. With communism as our horizon, the field of possibilities for revolutionary theory and practice starts to change shape, and barriers to action fall away. Our combined strength replaces our separate weaknesses, our collective desire replaces individual drive, and mobilized wills replace passive indecision. When the illusion that capitalism is the only reality dissolves, anything is possible. She shows that the global anti-capitalist movement associated with Occupy Wall Street gets its bearings from the communist horizon as it expresses the intensity of collective desires to organize against the corporate and financial elite.

The Eranos Meetings - named after the Greek word for a banquet where the guests bring the food - constitute one of the most important gatherings of scholars in the twentieth century. The book presents a set of portraits of some of the century's most influential thinkers, all participants at Eranos: Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, Mircea Eliade, Martin Buber, Walter Otto, Paul Tillich, Gershom Scholem, Herbert Read, Joseph Campbell, Erwin SchrĂśdinger, Karl KerĂŠyni, D.T. Suzuki, and Adolph Portmann. The volume presents a critical appraisal of the views of these men, how the exchange of ideas encouraged by Eranos influenced each, and examines the attraction of these esotericists towards authoritarian politics.

Bolshevism and the Myth of the International Jewish Conspiracy
This book takes a more conceptual look at how the digital age is affecting the field of history for both scholars and students. The printed copy, the traditional archive, and analogue research remain key constitute parts for most historians and for many will remain precious and esteemed over digital copies, but there is a real need for historians and students of history to seriously consider some of the conceptual and methodological challenges facing the field of historical enquiry as we enter the twentyfirst century. This book does not seek either to applaud or condemn digital technologies, but takes a more conceptual view of how the field of history is being changed by the digital age.

Since the 1920s National Socialist doctrine had largely been determined by an intense hatred and hostility towards not only the Jews but also towards Bolshevism. This ideology had been identified by Hitler and his acolytes as the political poison concocted by the Jews in an attempt to impose, as he saw it, their own tyrannical domination across the globe. Hitler's Crusade provides a detailed analysis of this crucial dimension to Hitler's Weltanschauung, exploring the little-known activities of the Antikomintern, as well as offering fresh interpretations and new insights on welldocumented events. It provides the definitive analysis of Hitler's attitude towards Bolshevism, the destruction of which he was still describing in early 1945 as the raison d'etre of the Nazi movement. Quantity

A History of Social Justice and Political Power in the Middle East
Howard Zinn Speaks
The Circle of Justice from Mesopotamia to Globalization
Howard Zinn wrote the bestselling A People's History of the United States. Edited by Anthony Arnove.
Collected Speeches 1963 to 2009
Linda Darling, University of Arizona, USA. The Circle of Justice depicts graphically how a government's justice toward the population generates political power, military strength, prosperity, and good administration. This book explores how people conceptualized and acted upon this powerful insight and how they transmitted it from one regime to the next. Although the Circle of Justice was largely dropped from political discourse in modern day, it did not disappear from people's political culture and expectations of government. The book demonstrates the Circle's relevance to the Iranian Revolution and the rise of Islamist movements all over the Middle East, and suggests how the concept remains relevant in an age of capitalism.

Howard Zinn was one of the great orators of the twentieth century and illuminated our history like no other historian. He rarely spoke from notes, and yet could weave rich historical narratives that inspired and captivated audiences. He could grab the attention of even the most jaded students and charm listeners with his sharp humor and personal, engaging style. Many of his speeches have never been published in book form. The first ever collection of his speeches will be an invaluable resource for new generations to continue to discover his work, as well as the millions he moved and informed in his lifetime.

The author introduces the reader to the Christian church, from the conversion of the Celtic and Germanic peoples to the discovery of the New World. He reveals how the church unified the people of Western Europe as they worshipped with the same ceremonies and used Latin as the language of civilized communication. From remote, rural parish to magnificent urban cathedral, this book explores the role of the church as a central element in determining a thousand years of history. This new edition includes an expanded introduction exploring the interaction of other faiths - particularly Judaism and Islam - with the Christian church.

The Long European Reformation
Pain
Religion, Political Conflict and the Search for Conformity, 1350-1750, Second Edition
A Cultural History
Peter G. Wallace, Hartwick College, USA.
Pain almost always lacks justification, but it does have a story. Contrary to the claims of the philosopher Cioran, who asserted that it was impossible to hold a conversation with physical pain, each and every one of these pages advocates for such an encounter and promotes such dialogue. Halfway between history and philosophy, this book deals with the successive (though not progressive) forms in which the experience of pain materializes - the artistic, juridical, or scientific modalities that have permitted the cultural understanding of human suffering from the Renaissance to the present day.
Javier Moscoso, Institute of Philosophy of the Spanish National Research Council, Spain.
The authors interweaves the influential events of the early modern religious reformation with the transformations of political institutions, socio-economic structures, gender relations, and cultural values throughout Europe. Wallace examines the European Reformation as a longterm process, reconnects the classic sixteenthcentury religious struggles with the political and religious pressures confronting late medieval Christianity, argues that the resolutions proposed by reformers, such as Luther, were not fully realised for most Christians until the early eighteenth century.

At the heart of the Castilian plateau sits the great city of Madrid. Madrid has a rich historical and cultural life which attracts almost 8 million visitors per year, drawn to its beautiful palaces and everywhere the echoes of a faded empire. Despite its ancient origins, Madrid feels like a modern, youthful city. But the legacy of Madrid's 'golden age' remains evident in the extravagant Baroque facades of the old city. Jules Stewart here provides an insider's account of Madrid and unveils the history and culture of one of Europe's most fascinating, but leastunderstood cities.

This book is an impassioned plea that we turn to ourselves, not religion, if we want to answer Socrates' age-old question: what is the best kind of life to lead? The author deals with big questions such as Darwinism and ‘creation science', matter and consciousness, euthanasia and abortion, and then argues that it is ultimately through the human capacity for art, literature and the imagination that humanism is a powerful alternative to religious belief. This edition includes a new chapter on the debates between ‘the New Atheists' and their religious critics, asking why the two sides in the debate so often seem to be talking past one another, and suggesting how the conversation could be made more fruitful.

This book gently eases the reader into the world of philosophy. Each chapter considers a key area of philosophy, explaining and exploring the basic ideas and themes including: Can you prove God exists? How do we know right from wrong?

For the fifth edition of this best-selling book, Nigel Warburton has added an entirely new chapter on animals, revised others and brought the further reading sections up to date. If you've ever asked ‘what is philosophy?', or wondered whether the world is really the way you think it is, this is the book for you.

In the process, author Retha Warnicke rescues these women from historical misrepresentations and helps us rediscover the complex world of Tudor society.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS Cruel Harvest US Intervention in the Afghan Drug Trade Julien Mercille is a lecturer in the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy at University College Dublin, Ireland. He has had articles published in Third World Quarterly, Geopolitics and Political Geography, amongst others. Mainstream commentators claim that the Taliban are the main culprits behind Afghanistan's skyrocketing drug trade and that the US military is waging a war on drugs in Afghanistan to weaken the insurgency and keep our streets free of heroin. Cruel Harvest lifts the lid on the reality behind the mainstream narrative, showing that the United States in fact shares a large part of the responsibility by supporting drug lords, refusing to adopt effective drug control policies and failing to crack down on drug money laundered through Western banks. Julien Mercille argues that the United States is not concerned about waging a real war on drugs, and that alleged concerns about narcoterrorism mostly act as pretexts to justify occupation. In a powerful conclusion Mercille contends that US intervention in Afghanistan is motivated by power imperatives, not benign intentions. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745332321, NZRP$39.95 Publish October 2012, 192 pages Pluto

We are living in the great age of human migration. The political reaction-in Europe no less than in the United States-has been to batten down the hatches. Jeremy Harding's evocative reporting across Europe and on the US-Mexican border provides fascinating, haunting portraits of migrants, as well as less attractive and sometimes frightening profiles of the anti-immigrant zealots who oppose them. Equally unparalleled is Harding's comparative analysis of the failure, indeed, mirage of exclusionary policy in both Europe and the US.

Generation Palestine
Politics, Piracy and the Threat of Terror
Voices from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement Rich Wiles is the author of Behind the Wall: Life, Love & Struggle in Palestine (2010) and Flying Home (2009).
The most dangerous corner of Africa is its north-east corner where instability reigns and terrorism thrives on the antagonisms of all of its governments. It was of vital interest to the superpowers during the Cold War and remains, in the post-Cold War period, a key area in international relations and a major source of mineral wealth, while its sufferings have been described as a scar on the conscience of humanity. But seemingly endemic political chaos, failed states, terrorism and international piracy have dealt a death blow to the ambitions of the US and her allies in the international community to further a New World Order of liberal democracy.

The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings
Haiti's New Dictatorship
End of an Old Order?
From the Overthrow of Aristide to the 2010 Earthquake
Bassam Haddad, George Mason University, USA; Rosie Bsheer, Columbia University, USA; Ziad Abu-Rish, University of California Los Angeles, USA.
Justin Podur, York University, Canada.
This book sheds light on the historical background and initial impact of the mass uprisings which have shaken the Arab world since December 2010. The authors provide unique understanding and first-hand accounts of events that have received superficial and partial coverage in Western and Arab media alike. While the book focuses on those states that have been most affected by the uprisings it also covers the impact on Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq. It covers the full range of issues involved in these historic events, from political economy and the role of social media, to international politics, gender, labour and the impact on culture.

In 1804 Haiti became the world's first independent black Republic following a slave revolution. 200 years later, ravaged by colonialism and violence, it was placed under UN military occupation. This book charts the country's recent history, from the 2004 coup against President Aristide to the devastating 2010 earthquake, revealing a shocking story of abuse and indifference by international forces. Justin Podur unmasks the grim reality of a supposedly benign international occupation, arguing that the denial of sovereignty is the fundamental cause of Haiti's problems.

The unique model of apartheid, colonisation and military occupation that Israel imposes on the Palestinians, along with myriad violations of international law, have made Palestine the moral cause of a generation. Yet many people continue to ask, ‘what can we do?' Generation Palestine helps to answer this question by bringing together Palestinian and international activists in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The movement aims to pressure Israel until it complies with International Law, mirroring the model that was successfully utilised against South African apartheid. With essays written by a wide selection of contributors, Generation Palestine follows the BDS movement's model of inclusivity and collaboration. Quantity

Using the notion of "framing" as a way of understanding political perception, the authors analyze the narratives told by and about Sarah Palin in the 2008 election - from beauty queen, maverick, faithful fundamentalist and post-feminist role model to pit bull hockey mom, frontier woman, and political outsider. They discuss where those frames are rooted historically in popular and political culture, why they were selected, and the ways that the frames resonated with the electorate. Framing Sarah Palin addresses the question of what the choice and perception of these frames tells us about the state of American politics, and about the status of American women in politics in particular.

The purpose of the book is to examine the conceptual evolution of ‘social development' during the post-colonial era, and to see how various institutions of the UN system have tried to engage with this issue, both in terms of intellectual and technical advance, and operationally. The book examines this through a series of engaging case studies - humanitarian enterprise, hunger and malnutrition, disease, education and water resources.

Joel E. Oestreich, Drexel University, USA. This exciting new book illustrates and advances the argument that International Organizations (IOs) need to be taken seriously as actors in world affairs. It examines recent theories that suggest how IOs are able to set their own policies and implement them in meaningful ways. The chapters review these theoretical positions and then present a series of case studies which focus on how these theories play out when IOs are charged with solving global problems: including development, peacekeeping and environmental policy coordination.

In a shocking case that was covered by ABC's 20/20, CNN, and CBS News, among others, two judges were convicted of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from the owners of privatized juvenile detention centers in exchange for sentencing thousands of kids to jail. Ecenbarger exposes a deeply compelling political controversy that ruined the lives of many children and ultimately led to the judges' convictions on charges of racketeering, fraud, tax violations, money laundering, extortion, and bribery. Kids for Cash offers an inside look at a legal system that is closed to public scrutiny, offers little or no oversight of judges, and allows children to be sentenced without benefit of legal counsel.
In what might be called the "Now Is Not the Time" canard, each US presidential election becomes a moment of unique, life-or-death urgency that precludes reflection or dissent. With no substantial political debates or movements between elections, the only option for progressives is to support the Democratic candidates-and there is little to no left-wing pressure on Obama to change his policies. Reed bucks this trend to provide the first thorough analysis of this historical dynamic at workfrom the extension of global neoliberalism and domestic repression under Clinton, to the role of corporate PR and the mass media in shaping our understanding and expectations of the political system.

Seifulaziz Milas has worked with the United Nations Environment Programme, UNICEF, the African Union (on Darfur).
How do "ordinary" people, neither pacifists nor peace activists, come to decide collectively to eschew violent conflict and then develop strategies for maintaining their region as a nonwar area despite myriad pressures to the contrary? Mary Anderson and Marshall Wallace analyze the experiences of 13 "nonwar" communities that made conscious-and effective-choices not to engage in the fighting that surrounded them. Tracing the steps that these communities took, the strategies that evolved in each setting in response to local circumstances, the authors find lessons, as well, with broader relevance for international efforts to prevent violent conflict.

The Politicization of Europe
Timelines
Contesting the Constitution in the Mass Media
A Political History of the Modern World John Rees is a co-founder of the Stop the War Coalition.
This book examines how mass media debates have contributed to the politicization of the European Union. The public controversies over the EU's attempted Constitution-making (and its failure) sowed the seeds for a process of politicization that has advanced ever since: an increasing visibility for the EU in massmediated public debates that is combined with a growing public contestation over Europe within national politics. The book presents an original systematic study of the emerging field of political discourse carried by the mass media in France, Germany and Britain to examine the performance of Europe's public sphere.

This book explores how media and religion combine to play a role in promoting peace and inciting violence. It analyses a wide range of media - from posters, cartoons and stained glass to websites, radio and film - and draws on diverse examples from around the world, including Iran, Rwanda and South Africa. Part One considers how various media forms can contribute to the creation of violent environments. Part Two explores how film can bear witness to past acts of violence, how film-makers can reveal the search for truth, justice and reconciliation, and how new media can become sites for non-violent responses to terrorism and government oppression.

The author draws on decades of experience in the region to reveal the politics of the 'Great River', and the longstanding dispute between Egypt and the upstream countries over control of its waters. Milas challenges the myth that any attempt by those countries to use this resource in their own interests, without Egypt's permission, would inevitably lead to war. The book examines Cairo's interest in Ethiopia's Blue Nile, the main source of Egypt's water supply. It recounts the history of the dispute, and describes the impact of successive Egyptian regimes' policies toward Ethiopia. Finally, Milas suggests a way forward, based on cooperation, peace and development.
Jeffrey Stonecash gives us a big picture analysis that helps us understand what is happening in contemporary party politics. He explains that parties behave the way they do because of existing political conditions and how parties adapt to those conditions as they prepare for the next election. Parties are unsure if realignment has stabilized and just what issues brought them their current base. This book focuses on the challenges parties face in preparing for future elections while seeking to cope with current conditions.

In December 1936, at the height of the Abdication Crisis, Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury held the fate of the British monarchy in his hands. He helped to manoeuvre Edward VIII from the throne and to replace him with the king's brother, the Duke of York, who was to become George VI. The period 1928-1942 saw some of the greatest political and social upheavals in modern British history and Lang was at the centre of these. As Archbishop of Canterbury, he led the Church of England through this tumultuous period and was a pivotal influence in political and religious decision-making. Drawing on previously unseen material, Beaken tells the story of a fascinating, yet complicated man, who was Britain's first modern Archbishop of Canterbury.

Labour's Lost Leader
William
The Life and Politics of Will Crooks
King and Conqueror
Paul F. Tyler, London Metropolitan University, UK.
Mark Hagge, Bangor University, UK.
The life story of Will Crooks has a Dickensian resonance. As a working class child, born into abject poverty. Nearly forty years later Crooks became Chairman of the Popular Board of Guardians. Crooks was a member of the Coopers' Union for fifty-five years, and a leading pioneer of the trade union and Labour movement for over thirty. This significant and sometimes controversial figure has been overlooked by modern historians. Here Paul Tyler presents a pioneering political biography of a significant Labour figure at both a local and national level and an important reinterpretation of the early trade union and labour movement from the 1880s to the 1920s.
On 14 October 1066, on Senlac Hill near Hastings, a battle was fought that would change the face of England forever. Over the next twenty years, Norman culture was imposed on England, and English politics and society were radically reshaped. But how much is really known about William 'the Conqueror', the Norman duke who led his men to victory in what was to be the last successful invasion of England? As king, he spent much of his reign threatened by revellion and invasion. In response, he ordered castles and strongholds to be built across the land - a symbol of the force with which he defended his realm and which, along with Domesday Book, England's first public record, attest to a powerful legacy. This book provides a rounded portrait of one of England's greatest rulers.

Andrei Malaev-Babel, Vakhtangov Theatre Institute, Moscow.
Written just after the Second World War, this is perhaps the most personal, and haunting, of all Freya Stark's writings. She muses on the seasons; the smell of the earth after rain; Muslim saints, Indian temples, war and old age. Each chapter is devoted to a particular theme: Happiness (simple pleasures, like her father's passion for the view from his cabin in Canada); Education (to be able to command happiness, recognize beauty, value death, increase enjoyment); Beauty (incongruous, flighty and elusive); Death (a childhood awareness of the finality of Time, the meaningfulness of the end); and, Memory (the jewelled quality of literature, pleasure, love, an echo or a scent when aged by the passage of time).

Gutierrez's father, a US citizen, was deported to Mexico from his Arizona hometown. This occurred during a wave of anti-immigrant hysteria stoked by the Great Depression, but in a book that is at once a personal chronicle and a thought-provoking history, the war on Mexican immigrants has rarely abated. His family experiences inspired Gutierrez to pursue the life of a Chicano activist. Kicked out of Arizona State University after leading a takeover of the president's office, he later became the majority leader of the Arizona State Senate. He remains an activist, and in this engrossing memoir and essay, he both dissects the racism that has animated a century of border policy- including a record number of deportations under Obamaand the timidity of immigrant advocacy organizations today.
Yevgeny Vakhtangov was a pioneering theatre artist who married Stanislavski's demands for inner truth with a singular imaginative vision. Directly and indirectly, he is responsible for the making of our contemporary theatre: that is Andrei Malaev-Babel's argument in this book. It considers his input as one of the original teachers of Stanislavsky's system, and the complex relationship shared by the two men; reflects on his directorship of the First Studio of the Moscow Art Theatre and the Habima as well as the Vakhtangov Studio, the institution he established; examines in detail his three final directorial masterpieces.

Mustafa Kemal - latterly and better known as Ataturk - is without doubt the towering figure of modern Turkish history. But how did his early career as a soldier in the Ottoman army affect his later decisions as President? The author the lesser covered period of Kemal's life - from the War of Independence to the founding of the Republic - and shows that it is only by understanding Kemal's military career that one can fully comprehend how he evolved as one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary statesmen. Delving into Kemal's military writings, orders, and political decisions, speeches, proclamations and private correspondences, this book provides a rounded and nuanced portrait of the making of a major statesman.

The Crimean War (1853-1856) was the first modern war. A vicious struggle between imperial Russia and an alliance of the British, French and Ottoman Empires, it was the first conflict to be reported first-hand in newspapers, painted by official war artists, recorded by telegraph and photographed by camera. The author tells forgotten stories about the war experience of individual soldiers and civilians, including journalists, nurses, doctors, war tourists and other witnesses. Tate argues that the Crimean War was both modern and old-fashioned, looking backwards and forwards, and generating optimism and despair among those who lived through it. In its skillful interweaving of military, medical and social history, the book offers a fresh and intriguing look at one of the most fascinating conflicts of modern times.
Shakespeare is a towering presence in English and indeed global culture. Yet considered alongside his contemporaries he was not an isolated phenomenon, but the product of a period of astonishing creative fertility. In her sparkling new book, Helen Hackett explores the historical contexts of English Renaissance drama by situating it in the wider history of ideas. She traces the origins of Renaissance theatre in communal religious drama, civil pageantry and court entertainment and vividly describes the playing conditions of Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses. Examining Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson in turn, the author assesses the distinctive contribution made by each playwright to the creation of English drama.

The "Guerra Civil" is of enduring interest precisely because it represents much more than just a regional contest for power and governmental legitimacy. It has come to be seen as a seedbed for the titanic political struggles and larger social upheavals that scarred the entire twentieth century. In elegant and accessible prose, Julian Casanova tells the gripping story of these years of anguish and trauma, which hit the country with a force hitherto unknown at any time in Spain's history. Charting the most significant events and battles alongside the main players in the tragedy, he provides answers to some of the pressing questions (such as the roots and extent of anticlerical violence) that have been asked in the seventy years that have passed since the painful defeat of the Second Republic.

The image of the visionary Celt has captured the modern imagination. Northern and western Britain are merely the last redoubts of what was once a mighty and far-flung iron-age civilization, whose settlements extended from Anatolia and the lower Danube to Ireland and Spain. Alex Woolf looks at Celtic culture in its entirety, concentrating especially on the unifying Celtic language. He traces the Celts' development from their beginnings to their seventh-century nadir, when they ceased to be a single community. Encompassing Celtic religion, Romano-Celtic conflict and cohabitation, late antiquity, Celtic Christianity, Celtic art and the contested notion of a 'Celtic heritage', the author offers a fresh and illuminating history of the Celts and their legacy.

The Wars of the Roses (c. 1450-85) are renowned as an infamously savage and tangled slice of English history. Powerful personalities dominate the period: the charismatic and enigmatic Richard III, immortalized by Shakespeare; the slippery Warwick, 'the kingmaker', who finally over-reached ambition to be cut down at the battle of Barnet; and guileful women like Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret of Anjou, who for a time ruled the kingdom in her husband's stead. David Grummitt places the violent events of this complex time in the wider context of fifteenthcentury kingship and the development of English political culture.

SOCIETY & CULTURE Fashioning Appetite Restaurants and the Making of Modern Identity Joanne Finkelstein, University of Greenwich, UK. In the contested sphere of garstronomy divided between the golden arches of McDonalds and the prized stars of Michelin where personal identity is expressed through a frenetic quest for socially-approved tastes and distinctions, where, when, how, and with whom we eat has become just as fundamental in defining who we are. In this follow-on to her classic 1989 work: Dining Out: A Sociology of Modern Manners, Joanne Finkelstein takes a fragment of social life, dining out in restaurants, and uses it to examine the nature and meaning of manners and social relations in the modern world. This book examines how body images on billboards, social documentaries on the human and environmentaal cost of food and the abundance of choice in cosmopolitan and crowded cities contribute to a culture in which every forkful is weighted with meaning. When food is fetishised and identity is a capitalist commodity, the social solitude of the restaurant may be read as a semiotic realm where the satisfaction of appetite becomes both pleasure and torment. $34.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780762630, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2012, 208 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

Barbara J. Fields, Columbia University, USA and Karen E. Fields, Duke University, USA.
This book explores the little understood global dance culture that has mushroomed all over the world since its beginnings in the diverse psychedelic music scenes that flourished in Goa in the 1970s and 1980s. Using first-hand accounts of the scenes, events and musics of psychedelic trance in Australia, Israel, the US, Turkey, and other places, the book documents this transnational movement with its diverse aesthetic roots, multiple national translations and internal controversies. The book explores the integrated role that technology and spirituality have played in the formation of this visionary arts movement and shows how these event-cultures accommodate rites of risk and consciousness, a complex circumstance that demands a revision of existing approaches to ritual, music and culture.
In this myth-busting reflection, the authors argue that the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through what they call "racecraft". And racecraft is intimately entwined with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the devices of racecraft in American history, economic doctrine, politics and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes unnoticed. That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the Fieldses argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate language for thinking about and discussing inequality. That failure should worry all who care about democratic institutions.

SOCIETY & CULTURE Reversing the Assault on Public Education
Building on his work as a leading member of the renowned Research on Money and Finance group, Costas Lapavitsas argues that European austerity is counterproductive. Cutbacks in public spending will mean a longer, deeper recession, worsen the burden of debt, further imperil banks, and may soon spell the end of monetary union itself.
Joining the Power of Teacher Unions to the Heart of Teaching Lois Weiner, New Jersey City University, USA. In Reversing the Assault on Public Education, Lois Weiner explains why teachers who care passionately about teaching and social justice need to unite the energy for teaching to efforts to self-govern and transform teacher unions. Drawing on research and her experience as a public school teacher and union activist explains how to create the teachers unions public education desperately needs.
Crisis in the Eurozone charts a cautious path between political economy and radical economics to envisage a restructuring reliant on the forces of organized labour and civil society. The clear-headed rationalism at the heart of this book conveys a controversial message, unwelcome in many quarters but soon to be echoed across the continent: impoverished states have to quit the euro and cut their losses or worse hardship will ensue.

BUSINESS & ECONOMICS The Corporation That Changed the World How the East India Company Shaped the Modern Multinational Nick Robins currently works on sustainable and responsible investment in London, and has written on the East India Company for the Financial Times, New Statesman and Resurgence. The English East India Company was the mother of the modern multinational. Its trading empire encircled the globe, importing Asian luxuries such as spices, textiles and teas. But it also conquered much of India with its private army and broke open China's markets with opium. The Company's practices shocked its contemporaries and still reverberate today. The Corporation That Changed the World is the first book to reveal the Company's enduring legacy as a corporation. This expanded edition explores how the four forces of scale, technology, finance and regulation drove its spectacular rise and fall. For decades, the Company was simply too big to fail, and stock market bubbles, famines, drug-running and even duels between rival executives are to be found in this new account. For Robins, the Company's story provides vital lessons on both the role of corporations in world history and the steps required to make global business accountable today. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331959, NZRP$49.95 Publish October 2012, 262 pages Pluto

In the hands of the corporate sector, marketing has turned us into consumption-obsessed children. As individuals, we have enormous internal strength; collectively we have and can again change the world (indeed marketing itself is a function of humankind’s capacity to cooperate to overcome difficulties and way predates its co-option by corporations). There are lots of reasons for optimism and if we combine our strengths, we can move to contain the corporate sector and rethink our economic and social priorities. This accessible book will be of interest to anyone who has concerns about the current state of consumer society.

Ensemble Theatre Making
Salesman
A Practical Guide
J.M. Tyree, Stanford University, USA.
Rose Burnett Bonczek, City University of New York, USA and David Storck, Savannah College of Art and Design, USA.
Salesman (1966-1969) is a landmark in nonfiction cinema, equivalent in its impact and influence to Truman Capote's 1965 'nonfiction novel' In Cold Blood. Salesman heralded a novel experience for moviegoers, one that remains viable today. Based on the premise that dramas drawn from real life could compete with Hollywood extravaganzas, the film was critical in shaping 'the documentary feature' - a nonfiction genre specifically designed for theatrical release in cinemas and presented without voiceover narration, interviews, or talking heads. Pursuing a utopian dream of recording life with handheld equipment, and experimenting with eclectic methods and a collaborative ethos, the filmmakers produced a carefully-orchestrated narrative drama from outbursts of spontaneity.
This is the first comprehensive diagnostic handbook for building, caring for, and maintaining an ensemble. Achieving common goals in rehearsal and performance requires group trust, commitment and sacrifice. This book is a step-by-step guide to these processes. Candid and direct, it considers: how to plan and prepare for ensemble work; the essential building blocks of ensemble; how to identify ensemble behaviors; techniques for responding to, and positively redirecting those behaviors. Tools, techniques and recipes for rethinking ensemble redefine it as a grounded practice, rather than a question of luck.

The Screenplay Business
Ken Hillis, University of North Carolina, USA; Michael Petit, University of Toronto, Canada and Kylie Jarrett, National University of Ireland, Ireland.
Managing Creativity and Script Development in the Film Industry Peter Bloore, Wingfield College, UK.
The rise of Google as the dominant Internet search provider reflects a generationallyinflected notion that everything that matters is now on the Web, and should, in the moral sense of the verb, be accessible through search. In this theoretically nuanced study of search technology's broader implications for knowledge production and social relations, the authors shed light on a culture of search in which our increasing reliance on search engines influences not only the way we navigate, classify, and evaluate Web content, but also how we think about ourselves and the world around us, online and off.

The American independent sector has attracted much attention in recent years. This book offers an examination of the field through four sections that range in focus from broad definitions to close focus on particular manifestations of independence. A wide variety of examples are included. This collection offers: an account of recent developments as well as reviewing, reassessing and revising a number of central positions, approaches and arguments relating to various parts of the independent and/or indie sector. Individual case studies that range from the distinctive qualities of the work of established ‘quality' filmmakers such as Wes Anderson, Steven Soderbergh and Rebecca Miller to studies of horror genre production at the more ‘disreputable' end of the independent spectrum.
This book offers a stimulating introduction to the field of media anthropology and the study of religious ritual. The author explores the interweaving of rituals, communication and community. She uses the tools of anthropological enquiry to examine a variety of media events, including the death of Michael Jackson, a royal wedding and the transfressive actions which took place in Abu Ghraib, and to understand the inner significance of the media coverage of such events. The book deals with theories of ritual, media as ritual including reception, production and representation, and rituals of death in the media.

What happens when women tell their own stories in film? The author addresses this question through an exploration of a wide range of films, from experimental feminist film to mainstream Hollywood, and from the 1970s to the present day, by film-makers including Sally Potter and Jane Campion. Her discussion takes in films from India and Argentina as well as Europe, Canada, Australia and the US. She raises key issues about women as authors, subjects and heroes of their narratives. Drawing on a wide range of feminist theoretical sources, What If I Had Been the Hero? makes an important intervention into contemporary debates, situating film-making within a rich history of female creativity, and insisting on the continuing importance of feminist theory.

British Jazz, 1960-1975
ROAR Re-Viewed
Duncan Heining is the author of George Russell An American Composer.
30 Years On Denise Morgan, with an introduction by Sasha Grishin.
The British Jazz scene had been, arguably, the first outside America to assert its independence. Jazz is made by its musicians and is changed by them. What were the records that they made which defined the era? From where did their inspiration arise? And how did their audience respond? The book follows a number of themes - movers and shakers, drugs and addictions, relationships with Rock and Blues, new technologies, media coverage, arts funding, from clubs to concert halls, record companies and, not least, the economics of Jazz. In doing so, the book challenges many conventional understandings of British Jazz and its scene. This is the definitive history of British Jazz - and the context for it - in the sixties.
Melbourne’s ROAR group of young artists emerged in the early 1980s as a rebellion against many of the mores of the then art world. They created wild and colorful paintings, drank beer instead of wine and set up studios and an exhibition space in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. Now, thirty years later, the art of Wayne Eager, Sarah Faulkner, Andrew and Peter Ferguson, Pasquale Giardino, Karan Hayman, Ann Howie, Mark Howson, David Larwill, Michael Nicholls, Jill Noble, Mark Schaller and Judi Singleton has been both re-viewed and re-commissioned for an extraordinary book. This huge and colorful volume is as inventive in its production values as this group’s approach to art deserves.

His original investigation of Shakespeare's battles with syphilis drew international media attention, including coverage on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. Did Shakespeare's doctors addle his brain with mercury, leading to his retirement? Was Jane Eyre inspired by the plagued school that claimed the Bronte clan? Did writing 1984 kill George Orwell? Many of our most beloved scribes struggled to conquered not just writers' block but a bevy of medical maladies. John Ross opens his surgery to consult with the likes of Milton, Swift, Melville, and Joyce, to debunk myths and probe muses, both literary and medical. Ross peppers his tales with vivid vignettes of medical practice through the centuries, from Shakespeare's cloaked visits to Southwark to cure his unsavoury rashes to the arsenic-andhorse serum jabs given for Yeast's fevers. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689514, NZRP$32.95 Publish October 2012, 288 pages Oneworld Publications

Decoding Anorexia is the first and only book to explain anorexia nervosa from a biological point of view. Its clear, user-friendly descriptions of the genetics and neuroscience behind the disorder is paired with first person descriptions and personal narratives of what biological differences mean to sufferers. Author Carrie Arnold, a trained scientist, science writer, and past sufferer of anorexia, speaks with clinicians, researchers, parents, other family members, and sufferers about the factors that make one vulnerable to anorexia, the neurochemistry behind the call of starvation, and why it's so hard to leave anorexia behind.

A practical and candid look at in-laws that takes stock of how new family members negotiate challenges, and offers guidance on achieving peace. Why do some families find joy in welcoming new members to their clan, while others find it so disagreeable? In this book, author and Brandeis scholar Ruth Nemzoff focuses on the complex and difficult in-law relationship, including the complexity of the connections between in-law siblings, how in-law relationships become unhealthy, the potential tensions and jealousies between the two parental units of in-laws. This is a must-read for anyone dealing with a difficult in-law, as well as anyone who will soon be welcoming a new member to their family.

Fat
Inspiring Sustainable Behaviour
Deborah Lupto, University of Sydney, Australia.
19 Ways to Ask for Change
Fat is a book about why the fat body has become so reviled and viewed as diseased, the target of such intense discussion and debate about ways to reduce its size down to socially and medically acceptable dimensions. It is also about the lived experience of fat embodiment: how does it feel to be fat in a fat-phobic society? Lupton explores fat as a cultural artefact: a bodily substance or body shape that is given meaning by complex and shifting systems of ideas, practices, emotions, material objects and interpersonal relationships. Fat reviews current scholarship and research into obesity discourse and politics, drawing upon critical perspectives offered in the humanities and social sciences and by fat activism and the size acceptance movement.

How do you cut carbon? Permanently? Without spending money? This book offers a solution to all these questions by pulling them together and showing that changing how we ask is near-costless, but its effects could be nearpriceless. This book shows that simplification isn't always the solution, an action can be the most successful question, and a default answer can be the most important. It explores why short-term memory tasks change our behaviour, how singing roads regulate speed, and that commitment gaps change outcomes.

SCIENCE & ENVIRONMENT How to Make a Zombie The Real Life (and Death) Science of Reanimation and Mind Control Frank Swain is the founder of SciencePunk, the popular SEED ScienceBlogs site devoted to the weird and wonderful fringes of science. A frequent writer for Wired and the Guardian, he has a history of climbing buildings, managing burlesque shows, and generally being a force for good - and the scientific method. The search for the means to control the bodies and minds of our fellow humans has been underway for millenia, from the sleepinducing honeycombs that felled Pompey's army to the famous Vodio potions of Haiti. But in the past century, science has taken up the quest. Science writer Frank Swain digs up the reality of zombies: Dog heads brought back to life without their bodies, secret agents dosing targets with zombie drugs, parasites that force sex changes, bulls commanded by remote control, city streets designed to quell violent thoughts, military interrogation techniques used in Iraq and beyond. Packed full of untold stories buried in the archives, How to Make a Zombie is a mind-bending and entertaining excavation of incredible science is unlike anything (you think) you've read before! $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851689446, NZRP$32.95 Publish October 2012, 288 pages Oneworld Publications
From the book: “The dead man’s heart began to behave violently. A forceful ‘gurgling’ erupted from the throat, something like the famous ‘death rattle’ that occurs when saliva accumulates. The assistants in the surgery fled in terror. Yet, the heart beats for twenty minutes before ceasing again.”
