David Rae, University of Lincoln (UK)

International Business Negotiation Principles and Practice Barry Maude, Management Consultant. He carries out assignments in more than 40 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East

'Most negotiation books are either too scholarly or too prescriptive - this textbook bridges that gap. It provides a solid grounding in academic research at an appropriate level while also providing practical advice. I would use this textbook with both postgraduate and executive audiences.' -Connson Locke, London School of Economics, UK International Business Negotiation: Principles and Practice is an essential guide to the subject. Blending theory and practice, it translates relevant theories and research into practical and realistic guidelines for improving negotiation practice and achieving good outcomes in a wide range of international and cross-cultural contexts.

Opportunity-Centred Entrepreneurship

"Based on his award-winning research and teaching, Rae explores the creativity and ingenuity through which people become entrepreneurs ... This is an active learning process through which confidence and skills can be developed to achieve personal and career goals." - Small Business Issues "Brings together themes from areas such as entrepreneurship, small business management, creativity development and learning, which usually live apart. The book is primarily written in a practical form - addressing the student in a very personal way."

- Per Blenker, Associate Professor, Department of Management, University of Aarhus, Denmark Opportunity-Centred Entrepreneurship connects theory and practice in a whole new way. Other entrepreneurship texts are primarily research and theory oriented, and simply tack on real-world examples, while this book offers a stronger practical approach. It focuses on learning for, rather than about enterprise.

Strategic Management

Human Resource Management

Strategists at Work

Michael L. Nieto, Regents College London (UK)

Robert MacIntosh and Donald Maclean, both at University of Glasgow

"Robert Macintosh and Donald MacLean have written an absolutely marvelous book. It should be read by students and seasoned practitioners alike.

Their intent to put strategy and strategists together by focusing on the actual human beings who do strategy is nothing short of strategic brilliance." - Ian I. Mitroff, Professor Emeritus, University of Southern California, USA A glance through the contents of many books on strategic management suggests that the habits and practices of good strategists represent something of a blind-spot. This book remedies that, looking at 'how to do strategy' from the perspective of the strategist.

Crisis Without End?

Rethinking the Third World

The Unravelling of Western Prosperity

International Development and World Politics

Andrew Gamble, University of Cambridge (UK)

"Undoubtedly the best book I have read on the crisis seamlessly drawing together analytical insights from a wonderfully rich career. This is essential reading for all those who have lived through the crisis and especially for those who would claim to be leading us out of it. Its central message and clear warnings are simply too important to be ignored." - Colin Hay, Sciences Po, Paris "A brilliant book, remarkable for its insights into the origins and trajectory of the crisis of neo-liberal capitalism, and the key challenges it faces. A must read for anyone who wants to know not just why the crisis happened but also why and how it may - or may not - be resolved." - Vivien A. Schmidt, Boston University, USA "A sobering analysis of the structural crisis of the neoliberal order. Andrew Gamble grapples with remarkable dexterity and erudition with the big issue it confronts: no hegemon any longer able to manage the system and no credible political alternatives as yet able effectively to challenge it." - Loukas Tsoukalis, Athens University, Greece The 2008 crash was no ordinary crisis, but the harbinger of a much deeper convulsion. This major re-assessment shows how it was initially contained but that the more fundamental challenges to western leadership, democracy and prosperity, unless addressed, will preclude sustained recovery and pave the way for recurrent crises.

Mark T. Berger, Department of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School (USA) and Heloise Weber, University of Queensland (Australia) A systematic reassessment, by two leading figures in the field, of the paradigm of international development in both theory and practice.

It offers an overview and critique of development theory and strategy, and a new framework for the analysis of global inequality, poverty and development in an era of globalization.

It will reinvigorate debate, and encourage new ways of thinking.” - Louise Barrett, Professor of Psychology & Canada Research Chair in Cognition, Evolution and Behaviour, University of Lethbridge, Canada “Scott-Phillips has done an amazing job, combining approaches from fields as disparate as linguistics, cognition and evolutionary theory, to bring clarity to our understanding of human language. He explains what is special about human language, where it came from, and why it mattered for evolution.” - Stu West, Professor of Evolutionary Biology, University of Oxford, UK. Fascinating and original, Scott-Phillips presents a novel thesis explaining the origins and evolution of language to answer the questions of why language is unique to humans and how language developed.

Drawing on evolutionary psychology, biology, linguistics and anthropology, it is essential reading for anyone interested in language's evolution.

Popular Culture: Global Intercultural Perspectives Ann Brooks, University of California, Berkeley (USA)

"This book makes a wonderfully insightful contribution to the field of popular culture. It is to be praised for its global focus and enlightening discussion of topics such as consumption, identity, hybridity, fashion, hip hop, visual culture and social networking. Overall, students of popular culture will strongly benefit from this book." - Craig Morris, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Greenwich, UK "A must for teaching the tools of cultural criticism, Ann Brooks's Popular Culture: Global Intercultural Perspectives robustly and thoroughly spans canonical and more contemporary writers to explore globally circulating hybrid cultures. Ambitious in its address of cultural theory, the book also engrosses with serendipitous case studies, ranging from influences on graffiti in Southeast Asia, to the bankruptcy of the Betsey Johnson fashion house, to the selling of Muslim rap." - Maud Lavin, Professor, Visual and Critical Studies and Art History, Theory and Criticism, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA Through popular culture, we can define, explore and experiment with our identities. This vibrant text provides an understanding of popular culture in a globalized world through the intersection of sociology and cultural studies, combining cultural theory with a wide range of examples from everyday life, from fashion to social networking and music.

Mark Bould, University of the West of England (UK)

Throne of Blood

In this illuminating exploration of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972), Mark Bould considers Tarkovsky not as a transcendent artist but as a filmmaker working within a genre. He situates Solaris within the Russian and global cultures of the fantastic, to which Tarkovsky contributed three major science fiction films.

Robert N. Watson, University of California, Los Angeles (USA) Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957) is widely regarded as the greatest film adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. This fascinating interpretation of the film explores how Kurosawa draws key philosophical and psychological arguments from Shakespeare, translates them into strong visual metaphors, and inflects them through the cultural history of Japan.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Andrew Butler, Canterbury Christ Church University (UK)

Widely believed to be Terry Gilliam's best film, Brazil's brilliantly imaginative vision of a retro-futuristic bureaucracy has had a lasting influence on genre cinema.

Exploring its complex history and relationship with other dystopias, Paul McAuley explains why this satire on the unchecked power of the state is more relevant than ever.

An instant cult classic, Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was both a critical and commercial success. Andrew M. Butler delves into the film's central themes and production processes, including the intertwined careers of Gondry and Kaufman, the film's various genres, its psychoanalytic aspects, and its debt to Philip K.

How to Harness the Power of People and Transform Your Organization for Sustainable Success

Vlatka Hlupic, Professor of Business and Management at the University of Westminster, Adjunct Faculty at London Business School, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Drucker Society, London (UK)

"Dr Hlupic's insights are truly ground-breaking. What makes her ideas, which are brilliantly described in The Management Shift, even more meaningful is how she has integrated them into her 6 Box Leadership tool. The result is that executives and consultants can now easily implement 6 Box Leadership principles in practice, so that organizations can benefit from tomorrow's management today."Jack Bergstrand, CEO of Brand Velocity, the former chief information officer for The Coca-Cola Co., author of Reinvent Your Enterprise "Use the powerful 6-Box Model and its lessons from Vlatka Hlupic's new book to put your team on the fast track to success.

Excellent!"-Marshall Goldsmith, a Thinkers 50 Top Ten Global Business Thinker and top ranked executive coach A new tried and tested model for leadership to help managers improve engagement, remove barriers to innovation and uncover the hidden strengths of every company's greatest asset: their workforce.

Eric Bolland, Assistant Professor of Business, Viterbo College (USA) There is one major factor that explains business actions that has thus far escaped thorough exploration. That factor is clout, or as it is more broadly understood, power. Those with clout in the business organizations make the decisions and influence what the business does. Yet the origins and uses of clout are hidden. Everyone wants to know more about this inner world as clout is still largely unrecognized in studies of corporate culture. This book will be the first comprehensive examination of the role of clout in explaining organizational decision making.

ECONOMICS Markets and Morals Edited by Edward Skidelsky, University of Exeter (UK) and Robert Skidelsky, University of Warwick (UK) This volume scrutinizes the functionality of a capitalist market society, which is usually praised for the efficiency and dynamism, rather than for its morality. It addresses the dualism behind capitalism's encouragement of greed, which is usually considered to be a moral failing, while also being a driver behind economic growth.

GREAT THINKERS IN ECONOMY SERIES

Kenneth Boulding A Voice Crying in the Wilderness

Series Editor: A.P. Thirlwall

Robert Scott, Monmouth University (USA)

The famous historian E.H. Carr once said that in order to understand history it is necessary to understand the historian writing it. The same could be said of economics.

Famous economists often remark that specific episodes in their lives, or particular events that took place in their formative years attracted them to economics.

This new series Great Thinkers in Economics is designed to illuminate the economics of some of the great historical and contemporary economists by exploring the interaction between their lives and work, and the events surrounding them.

This book summarizes the life and work of economist Kenneth E. Boulding. Boulding was a prolific writer, teacher and Quaker. Starting his career as an orthodox Keynesian economist, he eventually adopted a transdisciplinary approach to economic topics including peace, conflict and defense, environmental problems, human betterment and evolution.

The Corporate Financiers

The Role of Faith in Microfinance and International Economic Development

Williams, Coase, Modigliani, Miller, Jensen, Meckling, Williamson, Alcan and Desert

Michael Looft, Kiva Microfunds (USA)

Colin Read, Professor of Economics and Finance at SUNY College at Plattsburgh (USA)

Inspired Finance argues that much of the world's poor need access to financial services through vehicles such as microfinance rather than a continued reliance on charity. By tracing an arc of thought and action from both historical and religious figures up through modern microfinance practitioners, Looft illustrates the many ways religious inspiration continues to remain at the crux of international economic development–while raising compelling questions around God and Mammon working together to help the poor.

POLITICS

Truth Wars

Risk and Hierarchy in International Society Liberal Interventionism in the Post-Cold War Era William Clapton, University of New South Wales (Australia)

"International Relations scholars have long assumed that anarchical international orders are incompatible with hierarchy among states. A new wave of scholarship challenges this 'takenfor-granted', and with this book William Clapton emerges as an important new voice in this literature.

Combining a social theory of hierarchy with insights drawn from Beck's theory of 'risk society', Clapton develops a powerful new argument about the evolution of international hierarchies and their effects on practices of international intervention. An essential read for anyone interested in the social contours of international relations." - Professor Christian ReusSmit, University of Queensland, Australia The English School of International Relations has traditionally maintained that international society cannot accommodate hierarchical relationships between states.

This book employs a unique theoretical and conceptual approach challenging this view and arguing that hierarchies are formed on Western states' need to manage globalised risks.
