'In my several years of teaching mathematical methods in undergraduate economics I have found that what the students find particularly hard and difficult to grasp is not the mathematics itself but how to make mathematics “sing” economics. This book does a great job by teaching how mathematics used in economic models both reveals and is enlivened by economic intuition.' – Sujoy Mukerji, Oxford University(UK) The focus of this book is on how mathematics helps with economic analysis and modelling. Also, key economic principles and conclusions are derived and highlighted using maths. This helps reinforce the learning about economics that students already have and creates a link between their other economics studies and the use of mathematics.

The Political Economy of European Welfare Capitalism Colin Hay, Professor of Political Analysis, University of Sheffield (UK) and Daniel Wincott, Professor (Blackwell Law and Society Chair), Cardiff Law School (UK)
'Every decade or so a book comes along that defines research in the comparative political economy of the advanced industrial states. If the 1990s belonged to Esping-Andersen and the 2000s to Hall and Soskice, the next decade belongs to Hay and Wincott. Combining historical synthesis, comparative analysis, and cuttingedge theory, they give us a refreshing and insightful account of the genesis, evolution, and transformation of European welfare states. Critically interrogating the impact of globalization, regionalization and competitiveness on these states, Hay and Wincott recast the evolution of European Welfare Capitalism as always and everywhere a political struggle over market imperatives.’ - Mark Blyth, Brown University, (USA) A state-of-the-art assessment of welfare provision, policy and reform at national and at EU level which spans the whole of Europe - East, West and Central. Uniquely broad-ranging in scope, and covering the latest research findings and theoretical debates, it provides a genuinely comparative overview text for students of twenty-firstcentury Europe.

HISTORY
Terrorist’s Creed Fanatical Violence and the Human Need for Meaning
Pain A Cultural History Javier Moscoso, Research Professor of History and the Philosophy of Science, Spanish National Research Council
'Javier Moscoso’s book is a dazzling example of cultural history. For anyone who ever wondered about the meaning of pain – and how those meanings have changed over time – this is the book for you.' - Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck College (UK) 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. Representation, sympathy, imitation, but also coherence, trust, or narrativity are but a few of the rhetorical and argumentative recourses that men and women have employed, and continue to use, in order to feel our pain – but also in order to express it, and to imbue it with meaning and collective value.

Roger Griffin, Professor in Modern History, Oxford Brookes University (UK)
'It is rare to find a work of such originality in a field like terrorism studies, which is dominated either by journalistic cliches or a crudely logistical analysis. Griffin locates terrorism in a richly conceived context that is ethical and epistemological as much as it is political.' - Dr. Faisal Devji, University of Oxford (UK) Terrorist's Creed casts a penetrating beam of empathetic understanding into the disturbing and murky psychological world of fanatical violence, explaining how the fanaticism it demands stems from the profoundly human need to imbue existence with meaning and transcendence. Drawing on sociology, psychology, novels and films, it shows how the need to defend or create a territorial or purely cultural 'home' in an unforgiving universe can precipitate a process of 'heroic doubling' which in extreme circumstances legitimates murder and suicide for the sake of a 'higher' cause.

Community without Community in Digital Culture Charlie Gere, Reader in New Media Research, Lancaster University (UK)
Community Without Community in Digital Culture suggests that networks always involve this other aspect of touch, separation, distance and gap, as a necessary concomitant of our fundamental technicity. Thus, against the prevailing presumptions that new technologies involve greater contact, relationality and community, this book proposes that they exemplify the gap inherent in touch, the 'inconceivable, small, 'infinitesimal difference'' that separates us from each other in time and space. Community Without Community in Digital Culture presents the view that our digital culture is determined not by greater connection, but by the separation and gap that is a necessary concomitant of our fundamental technicity.

'Following Vattimo's postmodern philosophy, Badiou's postmetaphysical ontology, and Žižek's revolutionary style, the authors of this marvelous book invites us to reactivate our politics of resistance against our greatest enemy: corporate capitalism. The best solution to the ecological, energy, and financial crisis corporate capitalism has created, as Crockett Clayton and Jeffrey Robbins suggest, is a new theological materialism where Being is conceived as energy both subjectively and objectively. All my graduate students will have to read this book carefully if they want to become philosophers.' - Santiago Zabala, ICREA Research Professor at the University of Barcelona (Spain) This manifesto addresses current crises brought on by global capitalism and offers a new orientation for selfunderstanding and acting in new approaches to religion, culture, and being in the world.

New Vampire Cinema Ken Gelder, Professor of English in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne (Australia)
This book is a close study of around forty contemporary vampire films, beginning in 1992 with Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula and Fran Rubel Kuzui's Buffy the Vampire Slayer: films that seemed for a moment to take vampire cinema in completely opposite directions. It then examines what happened after these two films, with a series of exhilarating readings of vampire films from Sweden, Russia, North America and Mexico, Japan, South Korea, France, New Zealand and Australia. New Vampire Cinema looks at recent vampire films as a genre, and asks what is at stake when the cinematic vampire and the modern world are made to encounter each other. It is a fascinating examination of a strand of cinema that is simultaneously exhausted and vibrant, inauthentic and 'original', insubstantial and self-sustaining.
