Profile Books catalogue Spring 2014

IN A WORLD where the big publishers get massive – pace the mega merger between Penguin and Random House – independent publishers like Profile become even more important in providing a supportive home for authors, where their books will be given the attention they deserve and need throughout the publishing process.

We think this list is outstanding and shows that we are still doing what we started nearly two decades ago, but better than ever – and for the first time it includes two digital projects that will break new ground. Ian Stewart’s Numbers app will boldly go where maths has never gone before and David Runciman’s Politics launches the Great Minds series, fusing world class academics with animation and images to create new introductions to big subjects for the twenty-first century.

The books in this catalogue are immensely wide ranging and lively.

They stretch from business and art to crime and slave management, and although it is insidious to pick out individual titles, I can’t resist mentioning Ian Morris’s War (this is not an author who shies away from big subjects), Linda Colley’s Acts of Union, Acts of Disunion, on myths of British unity, David Harvey’s Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism and, from Sort Of, the fourth book in Chris Stewart’s Driving Over Lemons series.

Happy reading.

ANNE SINCLAIR

My Grandfather’s Gallery A captivating story of great art, loss, oppression and triumph

On 20 September 1940, Paul Rosenberg disembarked in New York, just one of hundreds of tired Jewish refugees fleeing Vichy France.

Leaving behind his celebrated Paris gallery, Paul had managed to save his family; his paintings weren’t all so fortunate. Some – the Picassos at MoMA’s first retrospective – were already safely abroad. But dozens of works by Cézanne, Monet and Sisley, were seized by Nazi forces, destined for Swiss galleries and private collections.

Drawing on her grandfather’s astonishingly intimate correspondence with Picasso, Matisse, Braque and others, Anne Sinclair takes us on a personal journey through the life of a fêted member of the Parisian art scene and a friend to the greatest artists of the century. But Paul’s flight from his beloved gallery to exile in New York also tells a darker story, emblematic of the millions of Jews, rich and poor, who lost everything in the Second World War.

Politics Launching the world-beating series Great Minds

In this first title of an exciting new series one of the world’s leading political scientists asks the big questions about politics: what is it, why do we need it and where, in these turbulent times, is it heading?

From the gap between rich and poor to the impact of social media, via Machiavelli, Hobbes and Weber, Runciman’s comprehensive overview is invaluable to those studying politics or those who want to know how life in Denmark became more comfortable than in Syria. Politics sets the standard for introductions in the field.

Fusing animation and images from the award winning animators behind RSA Animate, beautifully adapted to both print and digital formats, the Great Minds series boldly reinvents what introductions can and should be in the twenty-first century. Concise, relevant, entertaining, original and global in scope, Politics makes essential reading – and viewing.

IAN MORRIS

War What is it good for?

The thought-provoking follow up to Why the West Rules – For Now War is one of the greatest human evils. It has left countless millions dead and whole societies torn apart. It has provoked economic chaos and widespread deprivation. And the misery it causes poisons foreign policy for future generations.

But, argues bestselling historian Ian Morris, in the very long term war has in fact been a benefit to humanity. In his trademark style combining inter-disciplinary insights, scientific methods and fascinating stories, Morris shows that, paradoxically, war has created better organised, more peaceful societies. Thanks to war, we live longer and more comfortable lives than ever before.

And yet, if we continue waging war with ever-more deadly weaponry, we will destroy everything we have achieved. Morris brilliantly dissects the history of warfare to explain why the coming decades will be decisive for our long-term future.

Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism The world’s leading Marxist thinker explores the hidden workings of capital In his incisive new critique, David Harvey unravels the contradictions at the heart of capitalism – its drive, for example, to accumulate capital beyond the means of investing it, its imperative to use the cheapest methods of production that leads to consumers with no means of consumption and its compulsion to exploit nature to the point of extinction. These are the tensions which underpin the persistence of high unemployment, the downward spirals of Europe and Japan and the unstable lurches forward of China and India.

Not that the contradictions of capital are all bad: they can lead to the innovations that make capitalism resilient and, it seems, permanent.

Yet appearances can deceive: while many of capital’s contradictions can be managed, others will be fatal to capitalist societies. David Harvey’s new book is both a vital guide to the world around us and a manifesto for changing it.

David Harvey is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the City University of New York, where he has taught since 2001. His course on Marx’s Capital has been downloaded by over two million people since appearing on the CUNY website in mid-2008. His book The Enigma of Capital [978 1 84668 309 1] was published by Profile in 2010 and translated into thirteen languages.

BEN HIGHMORE

The Great Indoors At home in the modern British house A field guide to the family home Houses are far more than four walls and a roof: they are our homes. They stand for family, belonging, privacy, sanctuary – and as everywhere we live is shaped by our personalities, they become bastions of quirky individualism.

The Great Indoors is the first cultural history of the family home from the start of the twentieth century to the present day. Highmore shows how deep social currents and changes in taste and technology have transformed our homes, as we welcomed the freezer inside after decades in the garage and suddenly warmed to the concept of ‘TV dinners’. Based on everything from kitchen sink dramas to IKEA catalogues and covering the ideal home, as well as the home you actually live in, The Great Indoors offers fascinating insights into what the ordinary spaces we live in reveal about our lives.

Acts of Union, Acts of Disunion Based on a fifteen part BBC Radio 4 series: what has held the UK together – and what is driving it apart?

The United Kingdom; Great Britain; the British Isles; the Home Nations: such a wealth of different names implies uncertainty and contention – and an ability to invent and adjust. In a year that sees a Scottish referendum on independence, Linda Colley analyses some of the forces that have unified Britain in the past.

She examines the mythology of Britishness, and how far – and why – it has faded. She discusses the Acts of Union with Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and their limitations, while scrutinising England’s own fractures. And she demonstrates how the UK has been shaped by movement: of British people to other countries and continents, and of people, ideas and influences arriving from elsewhere.

As acts of union and disunion again become increasingly relevant to our daily lives and politics, Colley considers how – if at all – the pieces might be put together anew, and what this might mean.

One of our most distinguished historians, Linda Colley is Shelby M. C. Davis 1958 Professor of History at Princeton and a Fellow of the British Academy. She has previously taught at Cambridge, Yale and LSE. Her earlier books include Britons: Forging the Nation 1707–1837; Captives: Britain, Empire and the World, 1600–1850 and The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World History.

KEN THOMPSON

Where Do Camels Belong?

The story and science of invasive species A timely, instructive and controversial book, which delivers unexpected answers Where do camels belong? In the Arab world may seem the obvious answer. But they are relative newcomers there. They evolved in North America, retain their greatest diversity in South America, and the only remaining wild dromedaries are found in Australia.

This is a classic example of the contradictions of ‘native’ and ‘invasive’ species, as the flip-side of biodiversity. We have all heard the horror stories of invasives, from Japanese knotweed that haunts gardeners to brown tree snakes that have taken over the island of Guam. But do we need to fear invaders? And indeed, can we control them, and do we choose the right targets?

Ken Thompson puts forward a fascinating array of narratives to explore what he sees as the crucial questions. Why do only a minority of introduced species succeed, and why do so few of them go on to cause trouble? He discusses, too, whether our fears could be getting in the way of conserving biodiversity, and responding to the threat of climate change. £10.99 228pp with 20 illustrations B format hardback ISBN: 978 1 78125 174 4 e-ISBN: 978 1 84765 995 8 Popular Science March 2014 World Tr US

How to Manage Your Slaves

At last a manual for managing slaves the Roman way: Marcus Sidonius Falx offers practical answers to every question you’re likely to have and guidance on every problem you’re likely to encounter.

He shows how to buy slaves, how to tell good slaves from bad, and how to get the best out of them once you’ve bought them. He covers the delicate subject of when you should let your slaves have sex with each other, and when you should engage in sex with them yourself. And he considers when to set them free. Armed with this guide you will be master in your own home: your household will be a comfort to your family and the envy of your neighbours.

The book is long-overdue. Until now ancient slavery may have been difficult to understand: this Roman’seye view lets us see at last why slaves meant so much to the Romans.

Marcus Sidonius Falx is a Roman of noble birth, whose family have kept slaves for generations.

He divides his time between his country estates and his luxury villa on the Esquiline hill. He has employed Dr Jerry Toner, Fellow and Director of Classics at Hughes Hall, Cambridge University, to set his work in context.

To find out, Nestor plunged into a world of deep-sea pioneers, underwater athletes, renegade scientists and do-it-yourself researchers who are at the brink of amazing discoveries about the ocean.

Soon, he was not only experiencing for himself the amazing amphibious reflexes all humans share but fixing tracking equipment on man-eating sharks, diving down 1,000 metres in a homemade submarine, and learning about the origins of life at the bottom of the deepest sea.

Britain at Sea The Royal Navy since 1900 A revealing history, based on a major BBC Radio 4 series Britain, an island nation, has always depended upon sea power which has guaranteed our survival and shaped our national identity. But while we celebrate many of the famous actions of the sea, much of the history of the Royal Navy remains unknown.

Admiral Lord West, a former First Sea Lord, drawing on forty years of service, recounts the extraordinary story of the Navy from the technical transformations of the start of the twentieth century – when submarines and planes were seen as eccentricities – through dramatic social changes to the revolutions in naval conflict that we see today.

With unique insight and verve he examines episodes iconic and unfamiliar, shedding fascinating light on life on board from Jutland to D-Day to 9/11, whether on the bridge in the heat of battle or waiting for action under the White Ensign.

Admiral Lord West, Baron West of Spithead, has been First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, as well as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office. This is his first book.

The eruption in Iceland, spewing out a poisonous fog, lasted for eight months, but its effects lingered across Europe for years, causing the death of people as far away as the Nile and creating famine that may have triggered the French Revolution.

Island On Fire is the story not only of a volcano but also of the people whose lives it changed, such as the pastor Jon Steingrimsson, who witnessed and recorded the events. It is the story, too, of modern volcanology, and looks at how events might work out should Laki erupt again in our time.

Counting Sheep The Pastoral Heritage of Britain A secret history of the countryside and the animal that shaped it Behind every hedgerow, on each grassy hillside, there is an alternative history of Britain: a history of the land. And at its heart are sheep – 36 million of them.

From accent and idiom to roads and waterways, sheep have helped define British culture and topography. Our economy was once founded on the wool trade, and across the length and breadth of the country sheep-farming is still a way of life for some.

On his witty, idiosyncratic tour of rural Britain, Philip Walling meets the modern sheep-farmers still following in the steps of their forebears, the herdsmen, shepherds, merchants and yeomen of the past. Along the way, he encounters the eccentric characters who populate the British countryside: the mole-catchers, the stick-makers, the tobacco-twisters and clog-wrights. Exploring this great artisan heritage, he finds a lifestyle parallel to modern existence, struggling to remain unchanged – and at its heart, there are always sheep.

Philip Walling started life as a sheep-farmer, and then spent three decades as a barrister before finally returning home to his farming roots.

Dublin The Making of a Capital City Ireland’s first city from medieval settlement to modern metropolis Dublin has many histories: for 1,000 years a modest settlement beside the Irish Sea, for the last 400 it has experienced great – and often astonishing – change. Once a fulcrum of English power, it was also the location for the 1916 insurrection that began the rapid imperial retreat.

That moment provided Joyce with the setting for the greatest modernist novel of the age, Ulysses, capping a cultural heritage which became an economic resource for the brash ‘Tiger Town’ of the 1990s.

David Dickson’s magisterial survey brings Dublin to life from its medieval incarnation through the patrician eighteenth century, when it was a ‘Naples of the North’, to the sprawling city of the millennium. He reassesses 120 years of Anglo-Irish Union, when, even as Dublin’s religious and social divisions became notorious, much of the modern city was shaped. Dublin reveals the rich story behind the long making of a capital city.

It’s two decades since Chris Stewart moved to his farm on the wrong side of a river in the mountains of southern Spain and his daughter Chloe is preparing to fly the nest for university. In this latest, typically hilarious dispatch from El Valero we find Chris, now a local literary celebrity, using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip; cooking a TV lunch for visiting British chef, Rick Stein; discovering the pitfalls of Spanish public speaking; and, most movingly, visiting famine-stricken Niger for Oxfam.

Yet it’s at El Valero, his beloved sheep farm, that Chris remains in his element as he, his wife Ana and their assorted dogs, cats and sheep weather a near calamitous flood and emerge as newly certified organic farmers.

His cash crop? The lemons and oranges he once so blithely drove over, of course.

Chris Stewart is the author of Driving Over Lemons, A Parrot in the Pepper Tree, The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society and Three Ways to Capsize a Boat, which have sold more than a million copies, and have been bestsellers in both Britain and Spain. In a previous life he was the original drummer for Genesis. His day job is still tending a peasant farm in Andalucia.

PHIL ROSENZWEIG

Left Brain, Right Stuff How Leaders Make Winning Decisions The acclaimed author of The Halo Effect shows what recent books on decision-making have been missing Dozens of books have been published recently on basic decision-making. But what happens when the decisions get more complex?

Real-world, strategic decision-making can’t follow rules derived from experiments explaining our choice of breakfast cereal. As Phil Rosenzweig shows, great decision-making relies on mastering two very different abilities. First, the analytical problem-solving skills associated with the brain’s left hemisphere. Second, what Tom Wolfe called ‘the Right Stuff’: the ability to take calculated risks.

From a reappraisal of how we use statistics to why overconfidence might be a good thing, Left Brain, Right Stuff explains how to balance the two – and get even the most difficult decisions right.

Drawing on examples from business, sports and politics, Phil Rosenzweig’s myth-busting follow-up to The Halo Effect is a revelatory new take on high-stakes decision-making.
