Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: in 2011 we all witnessed (and participated in) a series of shattering events. Emancipatory dreams mobilized protesters in New York, Tahrir Square, London and Athens -and there were the obscure destructive dreams propelling the mass murderer Breivik and racist populists all around the world, from the Netherlands and Hungary to Arizona. The subterranean work of dissatisfaction is continuing: rage is accumulating and a new wave of revolts will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 were signs from the future: we should analyze them as limited, distorted (sometimes even perverted) fragments of a utopian future which lies dormant in the present as its hidden potential. $17.95 Pb, ISBN 9781781680421, NZRP$22.95 Publish September 2012, 128 pages Verso Philosophy/Politics/Current Affairs Now in B-Format!

Scullard's definitive and highly acclaimed study reveals the peculiar genius of the Roman people, their predilection for law and order and their powers of organization and administration. He explores the political, military, economic and social history of this incredible empire, showing how the Romans realized an ecumenical ideal and embraced Western Civilization within one political system. Scullard also vividly delves into the corruptive foreign influences which began to undermine the moral qualities of Rome, when lust for power superseded the desire for law and order. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415522274, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 492 pages Routledge Quantity Roman History

The Many Lives of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin
A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy
Lynnette Porter is a member of the Tolkien Society.
F. A. Hayek (1899-1992) was awarded a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1974.
This book focuses on the changes made to the hobbits' characters not only by Tolkien but also by other artists - actors, writers, directors, lyricists and choreographers. The beloved characters of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin have been muchadapted for radio, television, film and stage. Porter follows the hobbits through these many other lives, from Tolkien's on-page revisions through to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and its musical counterpart. She also reviews over 50 years of 'Hobbit Art', including the work of Alan Lee, John Howe and Ted Nasmith. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781845118563, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2012, 240 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Culture/Literature
This book is Hayek's major statement of political philosophy. A robust defence of individual liberty, it is also crucial for understanding Hayek's influential views concerning the role of the state: far from being an innocent bystander, he argues that the state has an important role to play in defending the norms and practices of an ordered and free society. His arguments had a profound influence on the policies of Thatcher in the 1980s and resonate today in visions of the ‘Big Society'. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415522298, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 552 pages Routledge Political Philosophy Quantity

How to Look Good in a War
Lost Antarctica
Justifying and Challenging State Violence
Adventures in a Disappearing Land
Brian Rappert, University of Exeter, UK.
James B. McClintock, University of Alabama, USA.
This is the first book to analyse exactly how prowar narratives are constructed and normalised. Rappert details the 'upside-down' world of war in which revelation conceals, knowledge fosters uncertainty, and transparency obscures. He looks at government spin during recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya where officials manoeuvre between circulating and withholding information. Examining how organised violence is justified, this book draws on experiences from recent controversy to consider how ignorance about the operation of war is produced and how concerned individuals and groups can intervene to make a difference. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745331799, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 224 pages Pluto Quantity Politics/Communication
Bitter cold and six months a year without sunlight make Antarctica virtually uninhabitable for humans. Yet these harsh conditions have created a unique and fascinating world of uusual plants and curious animals, mostly amphibians. A keen observer will find forests filled with 50-foot algae, sea spiders, and multicolored sea stars. As temperature rise, hardy species from warmer climates are making Antarctica their home and destroying this terrain. The author gives us an unprecedented look at the ravages of the polar environment - an original and distinctive look at a world that we’re losing. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230112452, NZRP$44.95 Publish September 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Environmental Science

The book offers us a brilliant insight into the hidden foundations of Greek philosophy foundations that underpin Western thought today. Guthrie explores the great age of Greek Philosophy - from Thales to Aristotle - whilst combining comprehensiveness with brevity. He unpacks the ideas and arguments of Plato and Aristotle in the light of their predecessors rather than their successors and describes the characteristic features of the Greek way of thinking, emphasising what he calls the ‘cultural soil' of their ideas. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415522281, NZRP$29.95 Publish September 2012, 162 pages Routledge Quantity Ancient Philosophy

The Revenge of History
Susan Smith, University of Sunderland, UK.
Crisis, War and Revoultion in the Twenty-First Century
Though widely regarded as one of the major film stars of the twentieth century and the epitome of the glamorous allure of movie stardom, the press' intense scrutiny of her off-screen life and her beauty, has often had the effect of deflecting attention away from Elizabeth Taylor's achievements as an actress. Elizabeth Taylor seeks to remedy this neglect by offering the first sustained, in-depth academic study of Elizabeth Taylor's work in film. Susan Smith analyses what made the actress so distinctive as a performer, the effects Taylor's striking physical beauty had on her on-screen presence and the expressive use made of Taylor's eyes, face and body. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844574865, NZRP$34.95 Publish September 2012, 184 pages Palgrave Macmillan Biography Quantity

The Art of Metaphor
Historical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Miguel de Beistegui, University of Warwick, UK.
Ana Carden-Coyn, University of Manchester, UK.
Proust's In Search of Lost Time has long fascinated philosophers for its complex accounts of time, personal identity and narrative. Proust as Philosopher is the first book to try and connect Proust's implicit ontology of experience with the question of style, and of metaphor in particular. The author begins with an observation: throughout In Search of Lost Time, the two main characters seem prone to chronic dissatisfaction in matters of love, friendship and even art. Beistegui argues we should understand these experiences as opening up the space and time of artistic creation, and the use of metaphor in particular. $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415584326, NZRP$66.00 Publish September 2012, 130 pages Routledge Quantity History & Philosophy
WWI incited an extraordinary arsenal of gendered discourses, practices and beliefs in the service of militarism, power structures and personal agency. This insightful collection of interdisciplinary essays, by a wide-ranging team of experts, draws out critical themes emanating from 1914. Spanning the First and Second World Wars, through to the Vietnam War, the 'War on Terror' and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the volume asks what has changed and what has continued? It demonstrates adeptly how understanding gender during periods of conflict has ongoing relevance across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230280953, NZRP$59.95 Publish September 2012, 192 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History & Philosophy

Bush's attempts to justify the invasion of Iraq by citing Dower's own work on the U.S. occupation of Japan. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781595586186, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 336 pages The New Press Quantity History & Philosophy

Divided into two sections, the first part surveys the state of war and war studies in international relations, security studies and in feminist international relations. The second part addresses a missing area of IR studies of war that feminism is well-placed to fill in: the emotional and physical aspects of war. The author examines a wide variety of conflict situations. The author demonstrates how war is experienced as a body-based politics and in so doing provides an innovative and challenging corrective to traditional theories of war in international relations. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415775991, NZRP$72.00 Publish September 2012, 176 pages Routledge Quantity History & Philosophy

Progressive, modern societies hold the promise of the triumph of reason and the banishing of primitive, religious impulses to a by-gone age. If this statement is orthodoxy to much of Western liberal thought, then this book is heresy challenging the myth of the idealized rational society. Lynch argues that emotionally-charged forms of the sacred remain an inevitable foundation of social life. Drawing on examples from the changing status of the British monarchy, the growing influence of humanitarian NGOs and moral justifications for the invasion of Iraq, On the Sacred presents a compelling account of what the sacred is and why it still matters for us today. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844655342, NZRP$38.00 Publish September 2012, 192 pages Acumen History & Philosophy Quantity

Challenging the commonly held idea that ‘suicidebombings' are motivated by a nihilistic hatred of life, Melissa Finn argues that it is more helpful to examine such violent agency through the concept of ‘sacrifice'. The book provides a unique look at the way ‘sacrifice' is used in the Arabic language and in the writings of Islamists and jihadis. Finn offers penetrating insights into jihadi thought on its own terms, arguing that it constitutes a political theory which can be usefully compared and related to western political theorists, from Machiavelli and von Clausewitz to Hannah Arendt, Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler. $51.00 Pb, ISBN 9780745332628, NZRP$64.00 Publish September 2012, 272 pages Pluto Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Daniel Trilling is an Assistant Editor at the New Statesman.
Hans-Josef Fell is a member of the German Parliament for the Green Party.
The UK has seen the rise of the British National Party and the emergence of the anti-Islamic English Defence League. Taking aim at asylum seekers, Muslims and benefit "scroungers," these groups have been working overtime to shift the blame for the nation's ills onto the shoulders of the vulnerable. Drawing on research and interviews with key figures, such as BNP leader Nick Griffin, this book shows how previously marginal characters from a tiny neo-Nazi subculture have managed to exploit the tensions arising from the War on Terror and from steepening economic inequality. $34.00 Hb, ISBN 9781844679591, NZRP$43.00 Publish September 2012, 224 pages Verso Quantity Current Affairs & Politics
This book demonstrates that investment in renewable energies and a sustainable economy is not only a worthwhile cause but also has an economic value. The book introduces new actors such as the financial industry as an investor and political actor. If the financial industry becomes a political actor and calls for a necessary regulatory framework, more nations will follow - accompanied with an economic benefit - which will create a class of pioneer nations instead of the ever failing project of a global climate agreement. $37.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415628532, NZRP$46.00 Publish September 2012, 150 pages CRC Press Current Affairs & Politics

Brailsford, Philip Noel Baker, Norman Angell and David Mitrany - into the context of both the development of Labour's international policy and the evolution of the international environment between the wars.

The book traces and examines the policies and interactions of the United States with adversarial nations in the post-Cold War era. The book focuses on the key rogue states-North Korea, Iran, and pre-invasion Iraq. The book sets rogue regimes in historical perspective but it makes clear the contemporary variant endangers international peace through the export of terrorism and the pursuit of nuclear arms. It chronicles and explains why Washington has relied on non-military options (and delves into the Iraq exception) in dealing with rogues while the U.S. militarily struck in a host of countries after the fall of the Soviet Union. $52.00 Pb, ISBN 9781137019998, NZRP$65.00 Publish September 2012, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics

A decade after the Human Genome Project, the emerging fields of personalized medicine and DNA databanks are attempting to resuscitate race as a biological category written in our genes. The author argues that America is once again at the brink of a virulent outbreak of classifying population by race. By searching for differences at the molecular level, a new race-based science is obscuring racism in our society and legitimizing state brutality against communities of color at a time when America claims to be post-racial. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781595588340, NZRP$38.00 Publish September 2012, 400 pages The New Press Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

The Political Ideas of Leo Strauss
The Will to Prevail
Updated Edition
Danny Danon is chairman of World Likud.
Shadia B. Drury, University of Calgary, Canada.
This is a bold and uncompromising stance in the face of attacks on Israel's sovereignty by other Middle Eastern nations as the United States sends mixed signals of support to further its own goals in the region. Danon dissects the missteps and wrong turns that Israel's politicians have taken in the past by working to appease the United States and not offend their neighbors, instead of prioritizing their nation's own viability. With electrifying zeal, he tackles the challenges Israel faces today to undo what he sees as a consequence brought on by years of acquiescence to US policy. $41.00 Hb, ISBN 9780230341760, NZRP$51.00 Publish September 2012, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics
Now in paperback, this book explores the political thought of Leo Strauss, a philosopher most noted for playing a key role in neoconservative thought in America. Drury explores Strauss's thought and its role in American politics, exposing what she argues are the elitist, nearly authoritarian strains within it and those who follow it. A polemic against Strauss and his followers, the original edition has won Drury little friendship from the neoconservative camp and this revised edition with a new introduction is sure to continue the controversy among political theorists. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781403969545, NZRP$58.00 Publish September 2012, 336 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics

In 1967, the British withdrew from the osuthern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Their departure was abrupt, messy, and controversial. Using important, previously unpublished material and original interviews, this book tells the story of the final few years of British rule in Aden and the neighbouring Eastern and Western Aden Protectorates. This illuminating book brilliantly sets the 'scuttle' in context with a thorough re-examination of the background against which the events of the 1960s unfolded. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9781780762890, NZRP$72.00 Publish September 2012, 352 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Rethinking Popular Representation starts out from the deep concern with contemporary tendencies towards depoliticization of public issues and popular interests. It argues that the root cause of this is flawed representation, due to both elitist institution building and fragmented citizen participation. Hence the book makes a case for the need to rethink more democratic popular representation. Toward this end, the book outlines an overarching analytical framework for popular representation, examines key theoretical issues and empirical experiences of popular representation, and provides a policy-oriented conclusion. $45.00 Pb, ISBN 9781137006929, NZRP$53.00 Publish September 2012, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

David Dilks, University of Leeds, UK.
Ted Jones is the author of The French Riviera: A Literary Guide for Travellers.
David Dilks presents Churchill as a private person with a rich variety of friendships and rivalries. New and penetrating light is directed on Churchill during World War II. This was a period of dramatic relationships: conflicts with General de Gaulle in contrast with respect and affection for Roosevelt (feelings not entirely reciprocated by the American president). In the post-war era, relations with Stalin, and precoccupation with the Soviet Union and the Cold War all dominated Churchill's subsequent career, a time when he was able to renew his working relationship with his wartime colleague General - now President - Eisenhower. $44.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848857186, NZRP$54.95 Publish September 2012, 352 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Biography

After the establishment of the Republic, Turkey increasingly turned to the West for ideas about how to develop a modern culture, particularly in its most populous city.

Palgrave Publicity Spotlight On….
BFI has also launched Film Stars!
August 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the BFI Film Classics! BFI Film Classics is a series of finely written, illustrated books which honour landmark films of world cinema. The series includes a wide range of approaches and critical styles, reflecting the diverse ways we appreciate, analyse and enjoy great films.
Stars are an integral part of the global film industry. This is as true today, in the age of celebrity culture, as in the studio era.

Some also examine the cultural significance of a star’s work, as well as their lasting influence and legacy. The series ranges across a wide historical and geographical spectrum, from silent to contemporary cinema and from Hollywood to Asian cinemas, and addresses both child and adult stardom.
To celebrate the series’ anniversary, Palgrave Macmillan is releasing nine new editions as well as three new titles to the series, all with specially-commissioned covers by artists, painters and designers. Turn to page 18 and 19 to see these new additions.

Verso Fiction Tycoonery Roger Smith has written for television and films since the early sixties; his screenplays include Up the Junction. He has worked with Ken Loach as a script consultant for the past fifteen years and is also a theater director. Tycoonery is his first novel. Stuck in a loveless marriage with the local grocer in small-town Kent, Maureen Harding's life is drab and uneventful. Uneventful, that is, until property tycoon David Adler, working-class boy made good, descends on the local community with ambitions to buy up and knock down the town center, intending to construct a modern shopping mall in its place. Among the buildings Adler wants is the grocer's - and he also wants Maureen. As big businessman comes up agains local tradesman, a man more concerned to hold onto his shop than his wife, events hasten towards an explosive denouement. Seen through the eyes of David Adler's old school friend, the cynical, donnish George Timmins, Tycoonery is a wry, ironic novel of financial and amorous desire in 1970s England. $32.95 Hb, ISBN 9781844678983, NZRP$39.95 Publish September 2012, 256 pages Verso Fiction Quantity

Philip Wilson Publishers Milos Sobaic Edward Lucie-Smith is a highly renowned British writer, poet, art critic, curator and author of exhibition catalogues. A number of his art books, among them Movements in Art since 1945, Visual Arts in the 20th Century, A Dictionary of Art Terms and Art Today are used as standard texts throughout the world. Movements in Art since 1945, first published in 1969, has been continuously in print since that date, and has been completely updated five times since first publication. A new edition was published in March 2001. Milos Sobaic's work is a torrential outpouring of images in a wide variety of forms - paintings, sculptures, installations, and works that combine both painting and sculpture. These have gained him recognition as the leading Serbian artist of his generation.By its very nature, Sobajic's work is difficult to classify. It has links to Francis Bacon, to the classical surrealism of Salvador Dali, and to the romanticism of Gericault. It is constantly preoccupied, as indeed these artists were, with the bond between the sublime and the abject, and with the tragic nature of the human condition. $79.95 Hb, ISBN 9780856676628, NZRP$99.95 Publish September 2012, 360 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Philip Wilson Art Quantity

Engaging Anthropological Theory
Practical Aesthetics
A Social and Political History

Mark Moberg, University of South Alabama, USA.
Jill Bennet, University of New South Wales, Australia.
This lively book offers a fresh look at the history of anthropological theory. Anthropological ideas about human diversity have always been rooted in the socio-political conditions in which they arose, and exploring them in context helps students understand how and why they evolved, and how theory relates to life and society. Mark Moberg's engaging text moves away from the dry recitation of past viewpoints in anthropology and brings the subject matter to life. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415809160, NZRP$72.00 Publish September 2012, 440 pages Routledge Society & Culture
Beginning with the cultural watershed of 9/11, internationally-renowned scholar Jill Bennett explores artistic developments in relation to current events to argue that understanding aesthetics is as vital to social and political theory as it is to the arts. Taking as its starting-point a definition of art as the critical, self-conscious manipulation of media, Bennett examines a wide range of events from the "War on Terror" to the football World Cup to elucidate how aesthetic perception works in a social field, a process that begins with the rich emotional content of the visual imagery with which we are constantly bombarded. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9781780761459, NZRP$49.00 Publish September 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Society & Culture

The author asks if prejudice is still a major part of our everyday lives. He suggests that implicit biases based around race are not just found in small sections of our society, but that they also exist in the psyches of even the most liberal, educated and fair-minded of us. Our Racist Heart? shows how unconscious biases influence our everyday action and thinking. These groundbreaking results are brought to life using the author's own experiences of class and religious prejudice in Northern Ireland, and are also discussed in relation to the history of race, racism and social psychological theory. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415612999, NZRP$37.00 Publish September 2012, 296 pages Routledge Quantity Society & Culture
Lina Khatib presents a cross-country examination of emerging trends in political communication in the Middle East, from Iran and the Mashreq to Egypt and the Gulf. She demonstrates how states, activists, artists and people 'on the street' are making use of television, blogs and mobile phones, as well as non-electronic forms including posters, cartoons, comics, billboards, and graffiti to convey and mediate political messages. It's a hard-hitting, enjoyable, ground-breaking book, challenging the traditional ways in which the communication of politics in the Middle East is conceived of and analyzed. $37.00 Pb, ISBN 9781848852822, NZRP$46.00 Publish September 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity Society & Culture

This book argues that we must embrace a new way of thinking about capitalism and self-interest - one first spearheaded by popular novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand. This is one of the first works that takes Rand’s ideas and applies them to today’s political events, with chapters addressing the debt crisis, inflation, regulation, the welfare state, and much more. The authors discuss the morality of her philosophy vis-a-vis the progressive agenda - the perennial controversy that has kept Rand's ideas relevant for so long. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230341692, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Business & Economics

Embodied Acting is an essential, pragmatic intervention in the study of how recent discoveries within cognitive science can - and should - be applied to performance. For too long, a conceptual separation of mind and body has dominated actor training in the West. Cognitive science has shown this binary to be illusory, shattering the traditional boundaries between mind and body, reason and emotion, knowledge and imagination. This revolutionary new volume explores the impact that a more holistic approach to the "bodymind" can have on the acting process. $39.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415507882, NZRP$49.00 Publish September 2012, 256 pages Routledge Quantity The Arts

Carnal Knowledge is an outcome of the renewed energy and interest in moving beyond the discursive construction of reality to understand the relationship between what is conceived of as reality and materiality, described as the ‘material turn'. It draws established and emerging writers, whose research spans dance, music, film, fashion, design, photography, and literature, to demonstrate how art allows us to map the complex relations between nature and culture, between the body, language and knowledge. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780762661, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

The author tells the story of how Hollywood's ongoing preoccupation with breaking down the barriers that divide audiences has resulted in some of the most successful and enduring films in the history of popular cinema. Drawing on multiple sources and with close analysis of a broad range of films, from such classics as Little Women, Meet me in St Louis, King Kong and Mary Poppins to such modern family blockbusters as Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Toy Story, this timely book underlines the immense cultural and commercial important of this neglected genre. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780762708, NZRP$49.95 Publish September 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

Doctor Who has been on global television screens for nearly fifty years, and many of its most memorable protagonists have been its monsters, The Daleks, Cybermen, Slitheen, the Sonterans, Ood, Wiirrn, and others. Entertainingly and provocatively written, and introduced by Who scriptwriter Paul Cornell, this book takes a new look at these and many other creatures, and asks what inspired them and what lies behind them. If the Daleks are based on ideas of genetic purity, and the Cybermen on fears of transplant surgery, what about the Autons, the Zarbi, or the Weeping Angels? $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848851788, NZRP$38.00 Publish September 2012, 256 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

Postmodernism After Contemporary Art
Second Edition
Pamela M. Lee, Stanford University, USA.
Scott Bukatma, Stanford University, USA.
What can the theories and practices associated with postmodernism tell us about the obsession with the contemporary in both the academy and the art world? In looking at work by Dara Birnbaum, Ă–yvind FahlstrĂśm and Richard Serra, among others, Lee returns to Jean-Francois Lyotard's canonical text The Postmodern Condition as a means to understand more recent artcritical interests in interactivity, collectivism and neo-liberalism. She reads Lyotard's well-known treatment of language games relative to the game theory associated with the Cold War and the rise of the information society. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415988803, NZRP$58.00 Publish September 2012, 192 pages Routledge Quantity The Arts
An adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film combines film noir with science fiction to create a groundbreaking cyberpunk vision of urban life in a future at once uncannily familiar and startlingly new. This book details the making of Blade Runner and its steadily improving fortunes following its release in 1982. He situates the film in terms of the debates about postmodernism which have informed the large body of criticism devoted to it, but argues that its tensions derive also from the quintessentially twentieth-century, modernist experience of the city. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844575220, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 128 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity BFI Film Classics

A Cinema of Magic Spaces
Second Edition
Andrew Moor, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
Mark Sanderson is a journalist for Time Out magazine and the London Evening Standard.
The film-making partnership of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger was one of the most remarkable and visionary in cinema. With champions like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, and revived critical interest worldwide, they now find new generations of admirers. This illuminating new book looks closely at these classic films to explore their complex relationship to national identity, and their interest in exile, borderlands, utopias, escapism, art and fantasy. Moor reveals how the visual imagery of the films of the Second World War question current cinematic styles. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780763774, NZRP$37.00 Publish September 2012, 272 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts
Mark Sanderson describes the collaboration between director and actors that sustained the emotional richness of Don't Look Now. Sanderson examines the intricate visual style of Don't Look Now, uncovering the way in which particular motives are used to amplify the film's depiction of two terrible deaths. He finds compensation for the film's grimly fatalistic view of life in its celebration of sexual relationships and the power of recollection. The book includes an exclusive and in-depth interview with Roeg as well as rare and unpublished comments from Christie. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844575152, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 96 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity BFI Film Classics

Citizen Kane's unchallenged reputation as one of the greatest films in all cinema is matched only by the accumulation of critical commentary that surrounds it. The richness of the film, both thematically and stylistically, is inexhaustible. In a lucid and perceptive critique the author investigates the psychoanalytic structure that underlines the film's presentation of Kane's biography, for once taking seriously what Orson Welles himself disparagingly referred to as "dollar-book Freud." She also illuminates the film's historical context, revealing it to be a prescient commentary on the isolationist politics of prewar America. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844574971, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 96 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity BFI Film Classics
The author charts how the dominant white and black binary of American racial discourse influences Hollywood's representation of the Asian. The Orientalist buddy film draws a scenario in which two buddies, one white and one black, transcend an initial hatred for one another by joining forces against a foreign Asian menace. Alongside an analysis of multiple genres of film, Brian Locke argues that this triangulated rendering of race ameliorates the longstanding historical contradiction between U.S. democratic ideals and white America's persistent domination over blacks. $45.00 Pb, ISBN 9781137029348, NZRP$57.00 Publish September 2012, 224 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity The Arts

Taxi Driver
Victor Perkins, Warwick University, UK.
Second Edition
Today Jean Renoir's La Règle du jeu (The Rules of the Game) is highly regarded by fans, critics, film theorists and film-makers, who consider it to be a modern European film classic. The film's legacy is blighted however by a poor start: on original release in 1939 it was disastrously received at its Paris premiere as an offensive satire on the French bourgeoisie before the Second World War, which resulted in its being bannedby the French government. Twenty years later, Renoir released a restored version of the film - the first 'Director's Cut' - which was met with triumph at the Venice Film Festival. . $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780851709659, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 112 pages Palgrave Macmillan BFI Film Classics

Metropolis (1925) is a monumental work. On its release in 1925, it was Germany's most expensive feature film, a canvas for director Fitz Lang's extravagant ambitions. Lang, inspired by the skyline of New York, created a whole new vision of cities. Thomas Elsaesser explores the cultural phenomenon of Metropolis; its different versions (there is no definitive one), its changing meanings, and its role as a database of twentieth-century imagery and ideologies. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844575015, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 96 pages Palgrave Macmillan BFI Film Classics Quantity

Barr documents the crucial role of screenwriters Alec Coppel and Samuel Taylor and explores the reasons why Vertigo has come to inspire such continuing fascination. Barr's introduction to this new edition looks at the film alongside works that have influenced, and been influenced by, Hitchcock. He discusses a hypothetical 'director's cut', where the central mystery remains hidden until the end, but posits that such a change may run contrary to the Hitchcock tradition of 'suspense over surprise'. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844574988, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 96 pages Palgrave Macmillan BFI Film Classics

Peter Wollen, Christchurch College, UK and Geoff Andrew is Head of the Film Programme at BFI Southbank, UK.
Penelope Houston and Geoff Brown, De Montfort University, UK. Went the Day Well? is one of the most unusual pictures Ealing Studios produced, a distinctly unsentimental war film made in the darkest days of World War II, and nothing like the loveable comedies that later became the Ealing trademark. This book offers an attractive and astute view of British cinema in its heyday. Brown discusses the non-English qualities of the film's narrative, and the extent to which Cavalcanti brought a European sensibility to the film's very English setting. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844575008, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 96 pages Palgrave Macmillan BFI Film Classics
Forty years after its release, Singin' in the Rain remains one of the best loved films ever made. Peter Wollen has finally done justice to this landmark film. In a brilliant shot-by-shot analysis of the famous title number, illustrated by speciallyproduced frame stills, he shows how skilfully dance and musical elements are woven into the narrative. However, with Hollywood menaced by McCarhtyism, the Popular Front ethos in which the film was conceived could not long survive. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844575145, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 88 pages Palgrave Macmillan BFI Film Classics

Snow White has been re-evaluated along a number of lines since its heralded release in the late 1930s. Disney's interpretation of the doomed princess has reached out to a number of audiences, including the general viewing public, film historians and scholars, film technicians and animators, and educational and child welfare professionals. Smoodin analyses the film's significance amongst all these groups within their related theoretical and practical contexts, bringing home why this Disney first will remain a first point of call for so many for a long time into the foreseeable future. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844574759, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 112 pages Palgrave Macmillan BFI Film Classics

Rushdie rejects the conventional view that its fantasy of escape from reality ends with a comforting return to home. On the contrary, it is a film that speaks to the exile. The Wizard of Oz shows that imagination can become reality, that there is no such place like home, or rather that the only home is the one we make for ourselves. Rushdie's brilliant insights into a film more often seen than written about are rounded off with a new short story, At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers, about the day when Dorothy's red shoes are knocked down to $15,000 at a sale of MGM props. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844575169, NZRP$32.95 Publish September 2012, 80 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity BFI Film Classics
