The Obama Syndrome

Exposing Our Genetic Future, One Quirk at a Time

Surrender at Home, War Abroad

Lone Frank is the author of The Neurotourist: Postcards from the Edge of Brain Science (ISBN 9781851687961). She holds a PhD in neurobiology and was previously a research scientist in the biotechnology industry. An award-winning science journalist and Danish TV presenter, she has written for such publications as Scientific American, Science, and Nature Biotechnology.

Tariq Ali is a writer and filmmaker. He has written more than a dozen books on world history and politics, as well as scripts for the stage and screen. He is an editor of New Left Review and lives in London.

Internationally acclaimed science writer Lone Frank swabs up her DNA to provide the first truly intimate account of the new science of consumer-led genomics. This is an incredibly personal look at genomics, as consumer and guinea pig, revealing how the science will affect the person on the street today. She challenges the business mavericks intent on mapping every baby’s genome, ponders the consequences of biological fortune-telling, and prods the psychologists who hope to uncover just how much or how little our environment will matter in the new genetic century - a quest made all the more gripping as Frank considers her family’s and her own struggles with depression. Accessible, provocative, witty, and irreverent, her narrative brings the personalities, experiments, and eureka moments to life. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851688333, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2011, 320 pages Oneworld Publications Popular Science Quantity

Written early in 2010 and initially published in September, The Obama Syndrome predicted the Obama administration’s historic midterm defeat. But unlike myriad commentators who have since pinned responsibility for that Democratic Party collapse on the “reform” president’s lack of firm resolve, Ali’s critique located the problem in Obama’s notion of reform itself. Now a thoroughly updated paperback continues the story through the midterms, including a trenchant analysis of the Tea Party, and Obama’s decision to continue with his predecessor’s tax cuts for the rich. Ali asks whether - in the absence of a progressive upheaval from below - US politics is permanently mired in moderate Republicanism. Already called “a comprehensive account” of the problems with Obama (The Huffington Post), this new edition is sure to provide a more “powerful boost to Obama dissenters on the left” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677573, NZRP$24.95 Now in Paperback!

Brazilian Adventure

But Will the Planet Notice?

The Classic Quest for the Lost City of Z

How Smart Economics Can Save the World

Peter Fleming, OBE, (1907-1971) was a journalist and writer and one of the last great adventurers of the 20th century.

Gernot Wagner, Environmental Defense Fund.

In the summer of 1925 Colonel Fawcett embarked on a journey into the dark and uncharted heart of Brazil in search of the lost ‘City of Z’. He was never seen again. In 1932, when The Times advertised for ‘guns’ to join an expedition to find Fawcett, the lure was too great for a young Peter Fleming and he immediately signed up, intending to send dazzling dispatches from the jungle. Though the fate of Colonel Fawcett remains a mystery, Peter Fleming’s wild escapade in the heart of Brazil has become one of the 20th century’s best-loved travel classics. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848857919, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 384 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Quantity Travel / Adventure

Operation Sea Lion

Close to the Edge

Hitler’s Plot to Invade England

In Search of the Global Hip Hop Generation

Peter Fleming began his career with The Times and later wrote for The Spectator.

Sujatha Fernandes, City University of New York, USA.

On 16 July 1940, Hitler set in motion Operation Sea Lion: his plan to invade England. And so the Battle of Britain began and in just a few months Germany had lost all hope of dominating England’s skies and with it, the key to the invasion. Hitler postponed Operation Sea Lion indefinitely and the entire episode faded from memory. It would be another 17 years before Peter Fleming rescued the story from military archives and, together with the recollections of those involved, pieced together the dramatic preparations for what could have been one of the most significant and potentially worldchanging battles in history. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848856998, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 336 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Quantity Military History

Resistance, Repression and Revolt

The No-Nonsense Guide to World Population

Richard Gott is a former Latin America correspondent and features editor for the Guardian.

Vanessa Baird has been co-editor at New Internationalist magazine since 1986.

This revelatory new history punctures the widely held belief that the British Empire was an imaginative and civilizing enterprise. Instead, Britain’s Empire reveals a history of systemic repression and almost perpetual violence, showing how British rule was imposed as a military operation and maintained as a military dictatorship. From Ireland to India, from the American colonies to Australia, Gott traces the rebellions and resistance of subject peoples whose all-butforgotten stories are excluded from traditional accounts of empire. $44.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844677382, NZRP$59.95 Publish September 2011, 480 pages Verso Quantity History

Close to the Edge tells the stories of a global generation that came of age with hip hop. The book relates the author’s experiences as she traverses the hip hop globe, from Australia to Detroit and from Havana to Caracas. The book explores the elements of hip hop culture - rapping, beat making, b-boying, d-jaying, and graffiti - as they melded with street cultures and local slang to be reinvented around the world. It narrates a search for solidarities across borders, a document of the diverse histories, misunderstandings, and fissures that hip hop engendered as it went global, and a powerful demonstraton of the power of music to forge radical political alliances. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677412, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 208 pages Verso Quantity Music & Culture

You are one of seven billion people on Earth. Put bluntly, whatever you do personally, the planet doesn’t care. Nor, for that matter, does the economy. It is what several billion people do that makes a difference. The solution? Not scientists, not politicians, not activists. Cue the economists. The hope of mankind, and indeed of every living thing on the planet, is now in the hands of the masters of the dismal science.

Pacific War

Seeds of Terror

Dr Douglas Ford, University of Salford, UK.

How Heroin is Bankrolling the Taliban and al Qaeda

Drawing on documents in US and British archives, Douglas Ford explores why the belligerents in the Pacific war fought the way that they did. The book focuses not only on the battlefield level, but also provides a perspective from the military high command, government, and non-combatant citizens. How did Japan emerge as a Great Power following the breakdown of the Washington Treaty system of 1921-22? What factors propelled Japan’s aggressive expansion on the Asian continent during the 1930s? The book concludes with the reasons why the Pacific War ended with Japan’s unconditional surrender, and the consequences of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. $49.95 Hb, ISBN 9781847252371, NZRP$65.00 Publish September 2011, 304 pages Continuum Quantity Military History

One week after the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush declared he wanted Osama bin Laden “dead or alive.” An iconic moment in the nascent war on terror, his statement was not as dramatic as it seemed - bin Laden was not the first individual designated as the objective of a U.S. military campaign. From Geronimo to Pancho Villa, to Manuel Noriega, the United States has deployed military forces to kill or capture a single person nearly a dozen times since 1885. Wanted Dead or Alive chronicles the extraordinary efforts of American military manhunts throughout history and the lessons we need to learn from them. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230104853, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History

We Meant Well

The Expedition Diaries of Scott and Amundsen

How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People

Roland Huntford is the world’s foremost authority on the polar expeditions and their protagonists.

Peter Van Buren has served with the Foreign Service for over 23 years.

In 1910 Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen set sail for Antarctica, each from his own starting point, and the epic race for the South Pole was on. December 2011 marks the centenary of the conclusion to the last great race of terrestrial discovery. For the first time Scott’s unedited diaries run alongside those of both Amundsen and Olav Bjaaland, never before translated into English. Cutting through the welter of controversy to the events at the heart of the story, Huntford weaves the narrative from the protagonists’ accounts of their own fate. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441126672, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2011, 352 pages Continuum Quantity History

Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, and a Lost History of Discovery

Strange Ideas from History’s Greatest Philosophers

Douglas Hunter’s work has appeared in newspapers such as National Post, and The Globe and Mail.

Gary Hayden is a journalist and professional writer.

Douglas Hunter tells the fascinating tale of how, during his expedition, Columbus gained a rival in Italian explorer for hire, John Cabot. These two men engaged in a high-stakes race that threatened the precarious diplomatic balance of Europe - to exploit what they believed was a shortcut to staggering wealth. Instead, they found a New World that neither was looking for. Hunter provides a look at how the lives of Columbus and Cabot were interconnected, and that neither explorer can be understood without understanding both. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230110113, NZRP$52.95 Publish September 2011, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History

Its Nature and Limits

Suraiya Faroqhi, Bilgi University, Turkey.

Relativism, the view that knowledge is relative to time, culture, group and/or individual, remains a pervasive and influential intellectual position in philosophy and throughout the humanities. In this important new book Patrick Phillips investigates several varieties of relativism proposed over the centuries and identifies relativism as a central strand of thought that permeates much of postcolonial and postmodern thinking. He investigates the reasons that contribute to the ‘evergreen’ status of relativism and asks: why does relativism remain a constant occurrence in the writings of the humanities and what accounts for its popular appeal? $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441178855, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 168 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

In this fascinating and unique study, Ann Hughes examines how the experience of civil war in seventeenth-century England affected the roles of women and men in politics and society; and how conventional concepts of masculinity and femininity were called into question by the war and the trial and execution of an anointed King.

Shell shock achieved a very high political profile in the years 1919-1922. Publications insisted that shell-shocked men should be treated with respect, and the Minister for Health announced that the government was committed to protecting shellshocked men from the stigma of lunacy. Yet at the same time, many mentally-wounded veterans were struggling with a pension system which was failing to give them security. As a result of these contradictions, shell shock was not forgotten and the shell-shocked soldier quickly grew to symbolise the confusions and inconsistencies of the war. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441148858, NZRP$58.00 Publish September 2011, 224 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

He considers the massacre in its historical context, but also describes its impact in uniting the people of the sub-continent against their colonial rulers. The book dispels common myths and isconceptions surrounding the massacre and offers a new explanation of the decisions taken in 1919.

This book offers a new take on the political culture of thirteenth-century Europe, based on an exploration of the revolt led by Earl Richard Marshal against King Henry III in England (1233-4), and that led by King Henry VII against Emperor Frederick II in Germany (1234-5). Approaching medieval politics from a comparative perspective, it covers the ideals and norms of political behaviour, the role of violence and the public nature of medieval politics. $44.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230302365, NZRP$55.00 Publish September 2011, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan History & Philosophy

Masculinity and the First World War in Britain

On Responsibility and Personal Identity

Jessica Meyer has published articles on subjects including shell-shock and the wives of disabled ex-servicemen.

The book deals with key ethico-political issues of modernity, that of responsibility and of the subject(s) that can assume it. Available for the first time in English, this text by one of the leading European intellectuals explores why we need to return to a full personal responsibility. This entails a revisiting of such concepts as personal identity, tolerance, and action -all essential components of responsibility. Featuring a preface by Gianni Vattimo, the book not only analyzes the problem of responsibility from various perspectives (including Nietzsche, Weber, Arendt, Sartre), but also confronts today’s realities and challenges. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441147394, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 144 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

The Necessity of Errors

War in the World 1450 - 1600

John Roberts, University of Wolverhampton, UK.

Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK.

Truth and error are interdependent; claims to truth can be made only in the light of previous error. In The Necessity of Errors, John Roberts explores how, up to Hegel, emphasis was placed on error as something that dissolves truth and needs to be eradicated. Drawing on the fragmented corpus of writing on error, from Locke to Luxemburg, Adorno to Vaneigem, and covering five key areas from philosophy to political praxis, this wideranging account explores how we learn from error, under what conditions, and with what means. Errors, Roberts finds, are productive, but not in any uniform sense or under all circumstances-a theory of errors needs a dialectics of error. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677399, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 256 pages Verso History & Philosophy Quantity

Since September 11, Western governments have legitimized and empowered “nonviolent Islamists” as representatives of Islam for all Muslims in the West, an approach that has worried Muslim moderates. Citizen Islam addresses the implications of this approach. It shows that violence and intolerance are not fundamental aspects for the religion, and explains the growth of Islamism in Europe and in the United States.

The Obama administration, under some pressure from its antiwar base, has begun to release carefully selected evidence concerning the widespread use of torture in the “War on Terror.” In a set of devastating essays, Gareth Peirce argues that there needs to be a similar accounting of the British government’s activities. Exploring the few cases that have come to light, such as those of Guantánamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Binyam Mohamed, Peirce argues that they are evidence of a deeply entrenched culture of impunity toward the new suspect community in the UK-British Muslim nationals and residents. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677597, NZRP$24.95 Publish September 2011, 120 pages Verso Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Immersing himself in all things Tuscan, he describes in compelling detail the daily life - funerals and weddings, military marches and lovers’ trysts - of a place that was bursting with life and endlessly fascinating to him. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848855502, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2011, 272 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Travel Quantity

The Revolutionary Century: Art in Asia 1900 - 2000

Rendi Liu: Mini-Book #18 ($35.00 Hb, ISBN 9781921394607, NZRP$39.95), the latest entry into Macmillan Art Publishing's Mini Book series has just hit our warehouse!

Rendi (Tower) Liu was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu, P.R. China in September 1960 and migrated to Melbourne in January 1990.

Alison Carroll “Carroll’s latest effort is The Revolutionary Century: Art in Asia 1900-2000, a compelling journey through Asian art and its contexts and conditions. It also contextualises Australian artistic practice" – The Age, 13th May 2011 $99.95 Hb, ISBN 9781921394171, NZRP$120.00 Qty

A self-taught photographer, he began to practice the art form in 1980 and had his first works published in Nanjing in 1982. His photographs have since been exhibited in China, America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Rendi’s commitment and passion for the Australian landscape and native flowers, and his acute response to their shapes, colours, structures and forms, is clearly expressed within these beautifully presented photographs. Qty

Big Brain Gary Lynch and Richard Granger “The mechanistic metaphors that abound in this book, the evolution, structure and function of the human brain, can be forgiven. Especially when it’s so damn readable — even fun. Who were the Boskops? Are big brains better? These and many other questions are answered in the clear, brisk language more characteristic of well-written thrillers.” – The West Australian, 8th February 2011 $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781403979797, NZRP$32.00 Qty

Across The Bridge

The Rat Catcher

Morag Joss is an award-winning author.

Alexander Terekhov has won acclaim as a writer of short stories, and his work has been translated into French, German and English.

When a bridge collapses in the Highlands of Scotland, a tourist numbered among the missing seizes her chance to start her life over. But her new path takes her no farther than a wooden cabin on the riverbank, where she seeks rebirth and freedom from her old self. There she lives with Silva, an illegal immigrant whose husband and daughter have not been seen since the day of the bridge’s collapse. The women are befriended by the boatman Ron, and together they create a fragile sanctuary. Lost souls all, they keep secrets from each other, yet connect in ways none of them expects, as they strive to reconcile their past histories with the present and shape for themselves an elusive, longed for future. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881473, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 352 pages Alma Quantity Fiction

Svetloyar is bidding to be included in the list of historical towns making up Russia’s famous “Golden Ring” around Moscow, a lucrative tourist route. However, aside from the problem that it has no history - having been entirely constructed during the Stalinist period - the place is teeming with rats, so two pest-controllers are summoned from Moscow. What follows is an astute interrogation of the nature of both humanity and history, as the narrator’s philandering impulses are set alongside his perpetual concern for the destruction of rats. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881558, NZRP$24.95 Publish September 2011, 352 pages Alma Fiction

Bruno Portier is a writer, photographer, and documentary maker.

The ghetto in which the Jews have been confined is being liquidated by the Nazis, and eleven-year-old Hugo is brought by his mother to the local brothel, where Mariana, one of the prostitutes, has agreed to hide him. As the memories of his family and friends grow dim, Hugo falls in love with Mariana. And as her life spirals downwards, Mariana reaches out for consolation to the adoring boy who is on the cusp of manhood. Multi-award-winning writer Aharon Appelfeld once again crafts out of the depths of unfathomable tragedy a renewal of life and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881480, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 320 pages Alma Fiction Quantity

Remainder

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is considered one of the greatest writers of all times. The civil servant Ivan Matveyich and his wife Elena Ivanovna are spectators of an exhibition - in a shopping arcade - of a crocodile owned by a German, when Ivan is suddenly swallowed alive by the animal. Unsuccessful in his attempts to be freed from his prison, due to the German’s concern for his crocodile and excessive desire for compensation, the civil servant gradually comes to appreciate his new environment, while his wife begins to enjoy her new-found freedom. Inspired by Gogol’s surreal tales, Dostoevsky’s hilarious story has been interpreted by some as a vitriolic piece of social criticism and a veiled attack on the revolutionary philosopher Nikolai Chernyshevsky. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847492036, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2011, 160 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

Tom McCarthy's critically acclaimed debut novel, Remainder, was a worlwide success and has been translated into many languages.

Traumatized by an accident which ‘involved something falling from the sky’ and leaves him eight and a half million pounds richer but hopelessly estranged from the world around him, Remainder’s hero spends his time and money obsessively reconstructing and re-enacting vaguely remembered scenes and situations from his past. But when this fails to quench his thirst for authenticity, he starts re-enacting more and more violent events, as his repetition addiction spirals out of control. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881459, NZRP$24.00 Published March 2011, 288 pages Alma Fiction Quantity

But Phaedrus is drawn to her physically, and interested in her intellectually, finding her “a culture of one” in whom he discerns an unexpected “Quality”. Lila remains elusive to Phaedrus’s penetrating intellect, and her destiny remains a mystery, but Pirsig’s wide-ranging philosophical explorations will provoke and engage readers in the experience of pursuing the journey started by Pirsig in the70s to its final end. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781846881541, NZRP$24.95 Publish September 2011, 476 pages Quantity Alma Fiction

Oliver Twist

Deprivation and Delinquency

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

D. W. Winnicott (1896-1971) is one of the foremost child analysts of the last century.

Charles Dickens’s second novel is the tale of a young orphan who faces the gruelling conditions of a Victorian workhouse before finding himself sucked into the criminal underworld of London. Teeming with unforgettable characters such as the villainous Fagin, the virtuous Nancy or the brutal Bill Sikes, Oliver Twist combines elements of melodrama, dark humour and social polemic. At once a ferocious indictment of the author’s era and a timeless story of coming of age, this classic has enthralled readers and inspired countless adaptations and imitations since it was first published in 1838. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491978, NZRP$24.95 Publish September 2011, 640 pages Oneworld Classics Quantity Fiction

D. W. Winnicott was one of the giants of child psychiatry and psychoanalysis. He argued eloquently for an increased sensitivity to children, their development and their needs. Deprivation and Delinquency is an invaluable collection of his work on the theme of the relationship between antisocial behaviour, or more chronically delinquency, and childhood experiences of deprivation. Winnicott examines children under stress, the nature and origin of antisocial tendency and the practical management of difficult children - issues which have once again exploded onto the social agenda. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415673730, NZRP$42.95 Publish September 2011, 272 pages Routledge Psychiatry Quantity

Selected Works

Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion

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

Jack Zipes is an acclaimed translator and scholar of children’s literature and culture.

This volume, which collects a wide range of some of Antonin Artaud’s most significant writings from poems to plays, scenarios, production plans, articles, letters and historical fiction - is an ideal companion to his seminal manifesto The Theatre and Its Double. Hugely influential on the theory and practice of theatre and other associated arts, these pieces reveal a complex and uncompromising philosophy which sought to liberate life from the fetters of civilization and its illusory ideals, and provides at the same time intimate glimpses into the tormented psyche of one of Surrealism’s darkest exponents. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491527, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 640 pages Oneworld Classics Anthology Quantity

Until the first publication of Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children’s lives. Fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. Zipes examines famous writers of fairy tales such as Charles Perrault, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and L.Frank Baum and considers the extraordinary impact of Walt Disney on the genre as a fairy tale filmmaker. $32.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415610254, NZRP$42.95 Publish September 2011, 272 pages Routledge Literature

The Zone

Based on Dovlatov’s actual experience of being a prison guard in Soviet Russia in the 1960s, and full of comic and humane detail, The Zone depicts the absurd day-to-day life of a camp in an insightful and unusual way, challenging commonly held perceptions of the relations between incarcerators and the incarcerated. A priceless chronicle of its time which highlights universal themes, Dovlatov’s genre-defying novel also provides moments of high entertainment and humour, rendered in his characteristically sharp, concise and sardonic style. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9781847491985, NZRP$24.95 Publish September 2011, 176 pages Oneworld Classics Fiction Quantity

Karl Popper described The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.’ The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science. Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415610223, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 552 pages Routledge Quantity Philosophy

Early ‘70s Radio focuses on the emergence of commercial music radio “formats,” which refer to distinct musical genres aimed toward specific audiences. This formatting revolution took place in a period rife with heated politics, identity anxiety, large-scale disappointments and seemingly insoluble social problems. Early ‘70s Radio is organized according to the era’s five prominent formats and analyzes each of these in relation to their targeted demographics, including Top 40, “soft rock”, album-oriented rock, soul and country.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1985) is precisely that: a cold-eyed character study based on the crimes of Henry Lee Lucas, who was convicted of eleven murders in the 1980s.

In the year leading up to its release it inspired one of the fiercest controversies, and perhaps the most significant exception to rules limiting the distribution of film violence and bloodletting, since the late 1960s. Neal King’s study of the controversies over The Passion of the Christ explores how conservative Christians united in support of Mel Gibson and in opposition to liberal, secular and Jewish critics. The resulting public battle in the US over the editing and rating of this film generated more controversy than over any other film in recent cinematic history. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230294349, NZRP$38.00 Publish September 2011, 160 pages Palgrave Macmillan The Arts

The Graphic Communication Handbook

Stevie Simkin, University of Winchester, UK. Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs ignited fierce debate amongst censorship bodies, critics and audiences on both sides of the Atlantic in 1971. Stevie Simkin’s study sheds light on the film’s (mis)fortunes at the BBFC in 1971 and tracks its subsequent tortuous journey towards home video release, buffeted by various shifts in the Board’s policy on representations of rape, and of sexual violence in general. But, equally importantly, Simkin provides a highly original account of the making of the film, which draws on extensive research into Peckinpah’s archive, including analysis of draft scripts, notes, memos and contemporary press items. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230296701, NZRP$38.00 Publish September 2011, 160 pages Palgrave Macmillan The Arts

Blindness and Enlightenment presents a reading and translation of Diderot’s Letter on the Blind for Use by the Sighted (the first translation into English since the eighteenth-century). Diderot was the founder and editor of the Encyclopédie, a novelist, a philosopher and an active proponent of democratic ideals. His Letter on the Blind is essential reading for anyone interested in Enlightenment philosophy or eighteenth-century literature. By discussing the blind, Diderot undercuts a central assumption of the Enlightenment, present in the very term itself in its reference to ‘light’, namely that moral and philosophical insight was dependent on seeing. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441119322, NZRP$52.00 Publish September 2011, 288 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

Claire Chambers, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK.

Tracing the stylistic self-conceptualization of modernism from Schopenhauer and Flaubert in the 1850s, through Nietzsche and the symbolists in the 1880s, to the high modernists of the 1920s, this book explores the far-reaching implications of Roland Barthes’ claim that modern literature is ‘saturated with style’. It offers both a broad, comparative survey of European modernism and an inventive re-reading of the major genres of the period, namely poetry, prose, and the manifesto. With reference to a wide range of canonical figures, Hutchinson argues that modernism oscillates between embracing a literature of ‘pure’ style and rejecting a literature that is ‘purely’ style. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230230972, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 200 pages Palgrave Macmillan Literature Quantity

This book offers an introduction to reading and studying Joycean texts and surveys the key contexts - literary, historical, political, philosophical and compositional - which shaped and determined them. By identifying and engaging with Joyce’s writing methods and style, the book opens up strategies and approaches for reading his complex texts. It also introduces the critical reception of Joyce and his work, from the early structuralist and ‘myth’ critics, through deconstruction, to recent developments including historical criticism and genetic criticism. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441197610, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 192 pages Continuum Literature

Thinking in Literature sets out to examine how the Modernist novel might be understood to be a machine for thinking, and further how it might offer means of coming to terms with what it means to think. Uhlmann examines the aesthetic practice of three major Modernist writers: James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and the young Vladimir Nabokov. Each can be understood as working with relation, sensation and composition, yet each emphasize the interrelations between them in differing ways in expressing the potentials for thinking in literature. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441140562, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2011, 176 pages Continuum Literature

The Anatomy of Addiction

Angel of Death

Recognizing the Triggers Standing in the Way of Recovery

The Story of Smallpox

Drs. Morteza and Karen Khaleghi each have over twenty years of experience treating addiction.

Angel of Death is a lively and powerful account of our battle against smallpox, the only disease that mankind has successfully eradicated from the planet. By weaving previously unrecorded voices in with the personal experiences of colourful historical figures such as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Edward Jenner, Gareth Williams brings alive one of the most exciting success stories in the history of medicine. His book also gives original and engaging insights into the anti-vaccination campaigns which remain active today, and into the many unlearned lessons of smallpox. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230302310, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2011, 448 pages Palgrave Macmillan Science & Environment

Gareth Williams, University of Bristol, UK.

The relapse rate for addicts in conventional treatment programs is a shocking 70-90%, despite the best efforts of family, doctors, and the addicts themselves. Drawing on the latest research, Creative Care founders Morteza and Karen Khaleghi argue that the reason so many addicts fail to make headway is because they focus on the addiction only, and not the many factors that contribute to it. This is an eye-opening look for addicts and family members that will show them how to discover the heart of problem, and overcome it. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230107090, NZRP$29.95 Publish September 2011, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Health & Lifestyle
