PIE How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit

ALEX EDMANS UK publication March 2020 US publication April 2020

228 x 152 mm c.250pp 19 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-108-49485-4 Hardback c. £18.99 / c. US$24.95

How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit

Alex Edmans What is a responsible business? Common wisdom is that it’s one that sacrifices profit for social outcomes. But while it’s crucial for companies to serve society, they also have a duty to generate profit for investors – savers, retirees, and pension funds.

Based on the highest-quality evidence and real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Alex Edmans shows that it’s not an either-or choice – companies can create both profit and social value. The most successful companies don’t target profit directly, but are driven by purpose – the desire to serve a societal need and contribute to human betterment. This book explains how to embed purpose into practice so that it’s more than just a mission statement, and discusses the critical role of working collaboratively with a company’s investors, employees, and customers. Rigorous research also uncovers surprising results on how executive pay, shareholder activism, and share buybacks can be used for the common good.

Alex Edmans is Professor of Finance at London Business School and a leading authority on reforming business to serve the common good – but using solutions based on rigorous evidence and recognising the importance of both investors and stakeholders. He has spoken at the World Economic Forum in Davos, testified in the UK Parliament, presented to the World Bank Board of Directors as part of the Distinguished Speaker Series, and given the TED talk ‘What to Trust in a Post-Truth World’ and the TEDx talk ‘The Social Responsibility of Business’. He also serves as Mercers School Memorial Professor of Business at Gresham College, London, where he gave a public lecture series on ‘How Business Can Better Serve Society’.

He has published in all the leading academic finance journals, written for the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review, and appeared live on Bloomberg, BBC, CNBC, CNN, ITV, and Sky News.

AT A GLANCE

ADVANCE PRAISE

• Business has lost the public’s trust.

Citizens are calling for crackdowns against business, viewing it as the enemy, and voting for populist leaders.

But this book shows how companies can be a force for good – and how to reform them so that this becomes a reality

‘I do not know whether capitalism is in crisis. But I do know Alex Edmans’ superb book makes the case, compellingly and comprehensively, for a radical rethink of how companies operate and indeed why they exist. It is the definitive account of the analytical case for responsible business, but is at the same time practical and grounded in real business experience. It is a tour de force.’

• Many managers run their business primarily for profit. While most companies have CSR departments, they’re often ancillary and disconnected from the core business. This book shows how a purpose-driven approach not only serves society, but also makes businesses more profitable in the longterm. Responsibility isn’t just ‘worthy’ or an optional extra, but urgent and fundamental to a company’s success • Executive pay, shareholder activism, and share buybacks are hugely unpopular. But they’re also hugely misportrayed. This book uses the highest-quality evidence to uncover surprising results – in particular, how they can be used to serve wider society rather than only the elites

Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of England

‘Politicians are calling for large companies to be regulated or split up. In this compelling book Alex Edmans argues that there is indeed a problem with corporate behavior but that the solution may be simpler: change corporate purpose so that companies focus on growing the pie rather than grabbing more of it. Edmans’s arguments are a powerful and persuasive antidote to much of the conventional wisdom about the corporate world.’

Oliver Hart, 2016 Nobel Laureate in Economics

‘This is a brilliant and timely book, taking the business case for responsible capitalism to a whole new level.’

Female Husbands A Trans History

Jen Manion

UK and US publication March 2020

228 x 152 mm c.320pp 26 b/w illus.

978-1-108-48380-3 Hardback £17.99 / US$24.95

AT A GLANCE • Charts the rise and fall of female husbands from the 1740s to the 1910s in a clear and accessible way • Reveals key turning points in the history of gender and sexuality in the United States and the United Kingdom • Draws on a diverse source base that includes all references to female husbands in US and British print culture

Long before people identified as transgender or lesbian, there were female husbands and the women who loved them. Female husbands – people assigned female who transed gender, lived as men, and married women – were true queer pioneers. Moving deftly from the colonial era to just before the First World War, Jen Manion uncovers the riveting and very personal stories of ordinary people who lived as men despite tremendous risk, danger, violence, and threat of punishment. Female Husbands weaves the story of their lives in relation to broader social, economic, and political developments in the United States and the United Kingdom, while also exploring how attitudes towards female husbands shifted in relation to transformations in gender politics and women’s rights, ultimately leading to the demise of the category of ‘female husband’ in the early twentieth century. Groundbreaking and influential, Female Husbands offers a dynamic, varied, and complex history of the LGBTQ past.

Jen Manion is Associate Professor of History at Amherst College, Massachusetts, the author of Liberty’s Prisoners: Carceral Culture in Early America (2015), and a lifelong LGBTQ rights advocate.

ADVANCE PRAISE ‘In this painstakingly researched study, Jen Manion opens a window into a previously unseen dimension of the British and American past. Female Husbands explores the lives of people who transed gender, lived as men, and married women between the colonial period and World War I, situating them in the context of broader political and social developments including changing understandings of gender and women’s rights. The book is a stunning and path breaking achievement.’

Drew Faust, President Emeritus and the Arthur Kingsley Porter University Professor, Harvard University, Massachusetts

‘Female Husbands combines intellectual rigor and impeccable historical research with sensitivity and even imagination to illuminate this fascinatingly varied cohort of gender rebels.’

Emma Donoghue, author of Room and Akin

The Cosmic Revolutionary’s Handbook (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang)

Luke A. Barnes and Geraint F. Lewis

UK and US publication February 2020

216 x 138 mm c.296pp 36 b/w illus.

978-1-108-48670-5 Hardback £17.99 / US$22.95

AT A GLANCE • Presents a unique angle on cosmology – a toolkit for bringing down established cosmological theories, for would-be revolutionaries • Addresses alternative theories to the big bang and the latest observational evidence that needs to be accounted for • An accessible, non-mathematical introduction as to why cosmologists believe the things they do, and how scientific theories get accepted or discarded

Free yourself from cosmological tyranny! Everything started in a Big Bang? Invisible dark matter? Black holes? Why accept such a weird cosmos? For all those who wonder about this bizarre universe, and those who want to overthrow the Big Bang, this handbook gives you ‘just the facts’: the observations that have shaped these ideas and theories. While the Big Bang holds the attention of scientists, it isn’t perfect. The authors pull back the curtains, and show how cosmology really works. With this, you will know your enemy, cosmic revolutionary – arm yourself for the scientific arena where ideas must fight for survival! This uniquely-framed tour of modern cosmology gives a deeper understanding of the inner workings of this fascinating field. The portrait painted is realistic and raw, not idealized and airbrushed – it is science in all its messy detail, which doesn’t pretend to have all the answers.

ADVANCE PRAISE ‘Overthrowing all of modern cosmology isn’t easy, but it could happen. Maybe you will be the one to do it! If you’re up for the challenge, Luke A. Barnes and Geraint F. Lewis tell you exactly what you have to accomplish. Even if you don’t topple the stodgy edifice of modern science, you’ll certainly learn some exciting things about the universealong the way.’

Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime

‘If you are looking for a fun rendezvous with the universe, this is the book for you! Barnes and Lewis help you understand the basics of cosmology with simplicity and clarity - quite a feat given the complexity of our universe.’

Priyamvada Natarajan, author of Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideas that Reveal the Cosmos

The Citizen’s Guide to Climate Success Overcoming Myths that Hinder Progress

Mark Jaccard

UK and US publication January 2020

228 x 152 mm c.296pp 27 b/w illus. 3 tables 978-1-108-74266-5 Paperback £14.99 / US$19.95

AT A GLANCE • Draws on the latest research to suggest achievable changes we can all make to help prevent climate catastrophe • Empowers climate-concerned citizens to distinguish effective from ineffective actions and policies • Uses interesting and humourous examples to make a light-hearted but essential read • This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core

Sometimes solving climate change seems impossibly complex, and it is hard to know what changes we all can and should make to help. This book offers hope. Drawing on the latest research, Mark Jaccard shows us how to recognize the absolutely essential actions (decarbonizing electricity and transport) and policies (regulations that phase out coal plants and gasoline vehicles, carbon tariffs). Rather than feeling paralyzed and pursuing ineffective efforts, we can all make a few key changes in our lifestyles to reduce emissions, to contribute to the urgently needed affordable energy transition in developed and developing countries. More importantly, Jaccard shows how to distinguish climate-sincere from insincere politicians and increase the chance of electing and sustaining these leaders in power. In combining the personal and the political, The Citizen’s Guide to Climate Success offers a clear and simple strategic path to solving the greatest problem of our times.

Mark Jaccard. A professor of sustainable energy at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Jaccard has a Ph.D. in economics from Université de Grenoble. He has helped many governments with climate-energy policy, including serving on the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In the 1990s, he chaired British Columbia’s utilities commission and in the 2000s he helped design its famous carbon tax, clean electricity standard and other climate-energy policies. He is a member of the Royal Society of Canada in recognition of his research, and a frequent media presence in Canada and the US. His book, Sustainable Fossil Fuels (Cambridge, 2005), won the Donner Prize. His efforts on the climate challenge range from testifying before the US Congress and the European Commission to being arrested for blocking a coal train, as he explains in this book.

Becoming Free, Becoming Black Race, Freedom, and Law in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana

Alejandro de la Fuente and Ariela J. Gross

UK and US publication January 2020

228 x 152 mm 294pp 17 b/w illus. 6 maps 2 tables 978-1-108-48064-2 Hardback £19.99 / US$24.95

AT A GLANCE • Examines the development of the legal regimes of slavery and race in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana from the sixteenth century to the dawn of the Civil War • Demonstrates that the law of freedom, not slavery, determined the way race developed over time • Draws on a variety of primary sources, including local court records, original trial records of freedom suits, legislative cases, and petitions

How did Africans become ‘blacks’ in the Americas? Becoming Free, Becoming Black tells the story of enslaved and free people of color who used the law to claim freedom and citizenship for themselves and their loved ones. Their communities challenged slaveholders’ efforts to make blackness synonymous with slavery. Looking closely at three slave societies – Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana – Alejandro de la Fuente and Ariela J. Gross demonstrate that the law of freedom – not slavery – established the meaning of blackness in law. Contests over freedom determined whether and how it was possible to move from slave to free status, and whether claims to citizenship would be tied to racial identity. Laws regulating the lives and institutions of free people of color created the boundaries between black and white, the rights reserved to white people, and the degradations imposed only on black people.

Alejandro de la Fuente is the Robert Woods Bliss Professor of Latin American History and Economics, Professor of African and African American Studies, and the Director of the Afro-Latin American Research Institute at Harvard University, Massachusetts. He is the author of Diago: The Pasts of this Afro-Cuban Present (2018), Havana and the Atlantic in the Sixteenth Century (2008), and A Nation for All: Race, Inequality, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Cuba (2001).

Ariela J. Gross is the John B. and Alice R. Sharp Professor of Law and History and the Co-Director of the Center for Law, History, and Culture at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. She is the author of What Blood Won’t Tell: A History of Race on Trial in America (2008) and Double Character: Slavery and Mastery in the Antebellum Southern Courtroom (2000).

Giving the Devil his Due Reflections of a Scientific Humanist

Michael Shermer

UK and US publication April 2020

Who is the ‘Devil’? And what is he due? The Devil is anyone who disagrees with you. And what he is due is the right to speak his mind. He must have this for your own safety’s sake because his freedom is inextricably tied to your own. If he can be censored, why shouldn’t you be censored? If we put barriers up to silence ‘unpleasant’ ideas, what’s to stop the silencing of any discussion? This book is a full-throated defense of free speech and open inquiry in politics, science, and culture by the New York Times bestselling author and skeptic Michael Shermer. The new collection of essays and articles takes the Devil by the horns by tackling five key themes: free thought and free speech, politics and society, scientific humanism, religion, and the ideas of controversial intellectuals. For our own sake, we must give the Devil his due.

228 x 152 mm c.340pp 978-1-108-48978-2 Hardback c. £23.00 / c. US$29.95

AT A GLANCE • Outlines a ten-point defence of free speech and open inquiry in politics, science, and culture • Presents numerous real-world examples of how science and reason can be employed for solving moral dilemmas and determining human values • Supplies many examples of heretics and heterodox thinkers, who challenged the orthodoxy and were punished for it, and how we should think about people whose claims challenge mainstream ideas today

Michael Shermer is Presidential Fellow at Chapman University, California, the Publisher of Skeptic magazine, and a monthly columnist for Scientific American for eighteen years. He is the author of a number of New York Times bestselling books including Heavens on Earth (2018), The Moral Arc (2015), The Believing Brain (2011), and Why People Believe Weird Things (2000). His two TED talks, viewed over nine million times, were in the top 100 out of more than 2000 TED talks.

Edited by Francine M. Deutsch and Ruth A. Gaunt

UK publication March 2020 US publication April 2020

Creating Equality at Home tells the fascinating stories of 25 couples around the world whose everyday decisions about sharing the housework and childcare – from who cooks the food, washes the dishes, and helps with homework, to who cuts back on paid work – all add up to a gender revolution. From North and South America to Europe, Asia, and Australia, these couples tell a story of similarity despite vast cultural differences. By rejecting the prescription that men’s identities are determined by paid work and women’s by motherhood, the couples show that men can put family first and are as capable of nurturing as women, and that women can pursue careers as seriously as their husbands do – bringing profound rewards for men, women, marriage, and children. Working couples with children will discover that equality is possible and exists right now.

228 x 152 mm c.442pp 978-1-108-70884-5 Paperback £19.99 / US$24.99

AT A GLANCE • Gives fascinating, real-life examples of how couples around the world are creating equality in family work • Demonstrates that individual choices and decisions can thwart traditional social norms and structural forces • Reveals that equality in family work is not just a woman’s issue, as men also benefit from equal sharing • Shows that gender equality is not an impossible dream, but exists right now in unlikely places

Francine M. Deutsch, author of Halving It All: How Equally Shared Parenting Works (1999), is Emerita Professor of Psychology at Mount Holyoke College, USA. She has published extensively on issues of gender justice. She and her husband equally shared the care of their son.

Ruth A. Gaunt, Associate Professor at the University of Lincoln, previously held a tenured senior lectureship at Bar Ilan University, Israel, and prestigious fellowships at both Harvard University, Massachusetts, and the University of Cambridge. Her published research focuses on the social psychology of gender and families. She and her husband have three children and share childcare equally.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway Volume 5: 1932–1934

Ernest Hemingway Edited by Sandra Spanier and Miriam B. Mandel

UK publication June 2020 US publication July 2020

228 x 152 mm 840pp 978-0-521-89737-2 Hardback c. £29.99 / c. US$39.99

AT A GLANCE • Volume 5 provides accurate transcriptions of all located Hemingway letters written from January 1932 to May 1934 • Of the 392 letters, some eighty-five percent are appearing in print for the first time • Contains over forty images including Hemingway’s own drawings and contemporary advertisements as well as photographs and facsimiles of letters

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 5, spanning 1932 through May 1934, traces the completion and publication of Death in the Afternoon and Winner Take Nothing.

During this intensely active period, Hemingway hunts in Arkansas and Wyoming, fishes the waters off Key West and Cuba, revisits Madrid and Paris, and undertakes a long-anticipated African safari. He witnesses transitions at home and abroad: the deepening Great Depression, Prohibition-era rumrunning, revolution in Cuba, and political unrest in Spain. His readership and celebrity continue to expand as he begins writing for the new men’s magazine Esquire. As the volume ends, Hemingway has just acquired his beloved boat, Pilar. The letters detail these events as well as his relationships with his family, friends, publishers, critics and literary contemporaries including editor Maxwell Perkins, Archibald MacLeish, John Dos Passos, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Together the letters paint an intimate self-portrait of this multifaceted, self-confident, energetic artist in his prime.

Sandra Spanier, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English at Pennsylvania State University, is General Editor of series The Cambridge Edition of the Letters of Ernest Hemingway and a co-editor of the previous four volumes.

Her essays have appeared in Modern Critical Interpretations: ‘A Farewell to Arms’ (1987), New Essays on ‘A Farewell to Arms’ (Cambridge, 1990), Hemingway and Women: Female Critics and the Female Voice (2002), and Ernest Hemingway in Context (2013), and she serves on the editorial board of the Hemingway Review. Her books include Kay Boyle: A Twentieth-Century Life in Letters (2015) and Kay Boyle: Artist and Activist (1986), and she was editor of Boyle’s Life Being the Best and Other Stories (1988) and Process: A Novel (2001), and Martha Gellhorn and Virginia Cowles’s rediscovered 1946 play, Love Goes to Press: A Comedy in Three Acts (1995).

Miriam B. Mandel was a Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and American Culture of Tel Aviv University, served as co-editor of the fourth volume of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway and Associate Editor of the first two volumes. Her books include Reading Hemingway: The Facts in the Fictions (1995), Hemingway’s ‘Death in the Afternoon’: The Complete Annotations (2001), and Hemingway’s ‘The Dangerous Summer’: The Complete Annotations (2008). She is the editor of A Companion to ‘Death in the Afternoon’ (2004) and Hemingway in Africa (2011). She has published more than thirty essays in academic journals and books, is the recipient of seven major grants, and serves on the editorial board of The Hemingway Review.

Feeding the People The Politics of the Potato

Rebecca Earle Almost no one knew what a potato was in 1500. Today they are the world’s fourth most important food crop. Feeding the People traces the global journey of this popular foodstuff from the Andes to everywhere. The potato’s global history makes visible the ways in which our ideas about eating are entangled with the emergence of capitalism and its celebration of the free market. The potato’s story also reminds us that ordinary people make history in ways that continue to shape our lives. Potatoes, in short, are a good way of rethinking the origins of our modern world. Feeding the People tells the story of how eating became part of statecraft, and provides a new account of the global spread of one of the world’s most important foods.

228 x 152 mm c.308pp 25 b/w illus.

978-1-108-48406-0 Hardback £17.99 / US$24.95

AT A GLANCE • Offers a fresh account of how a plant that in 1500 was eaten by less than 5% of the world’s population is now the fourth most important global food crop • Places food (and especially potatoes) at the heart of the profound transformations that have created the world we live in today • Demonstrates the central role played by ordinary people in shaping how we eat today and the historical importance of mundane activities (such as eating) and ordinary things (such as potatoes)

Rebecca Earle is a Professor at the University of Warwick. Her publications include The Body of the Conquistador: Food, Race and the Colonial Experience in Spanish America, 1492–1700 (2012) and her prizewinning research has featured in venues ranging from academic journals such a Past and Present, to Vox and Women’s Weekly.

Williams’ Gang A Notorious Slave Trader and his Cargo of Black Convicts

Jeff Forret

UK and US publication January 2020

228 x 152 mm 482pp 9 b/w illus. 5 maps 3 tables 978-1-108-49303-1 Hardback £22.00 / US$29.95

AT A GLANCE • Provides the first study of a shipment of convict slaves, delving into previously unexplored legal issues surrounding the slave trade • Offers a comprehensive portrait of the Antebellum era by situating the slave trade within the economy, society, and politics of the time • Draws on a variety of resources, including court records, newspapers, governors’ files, slave manifests, slave narratives, travelers’ accounts, and penitentiary data

William H. Williams operated a slave pen in Washington, DC, known as the Yellow House, and actively trafficked in enslaved men, women, and children for more than twenty years. His slave trading activities took an extraordinary turn in 1840 when he purchased twenty-seven enslaved convicts from the Virginia State Penitentiary in Richmond with the understanding that he could carry them outside of the United States for sale. When Williams conveyed his captives illegally into New Orleans, allegedly while en route to the foreign country of Texas, he prompted a series of courtroom dramas that would last for almost three decades. Based on court records, newspapers, governors’ files, slave manifests, slave narratives, travelers’ accounts, and penitentiary data, Williams’ Gang examines slave criminality, the coastwise domestic slave trade, and southern jurisprudence as it supplies a compelling portrait of the economy, society, and politics of the Old South.

Jeff Forret is Professor of History at Lamar University, Texas. He won the Frederick Douglass Book Prize for his book Slave against Slave: Plantation Violence in the Old South (2015) and has authored Race Relations at the Margins: Slaves and Poor Whites in the Antebellum Southern Countryside (2006), among other works.

The Age of Algorithms THE AGE OF

ALGORITHMS Serge Abiteboul and Gilles Dowek Translated by K-Rae Nelson

Serge Abiteboul and Gilles Dowek Translated by K-Rae Nelson Algorithms are probably the most sophisticated tools that people have had at their disposal since the beginnings of human history. They have transformed science, industry, society. They upset the concepts of work, property, government, private life, even humanity. Going easily from one extreme to the other, we rejoice that they make life easier for us, but fear that they will enslave us. To get beyond this vision of good vs evil, this book takes a new look at our time, the age of algorithms. Creations of the human spirit, algorithms are what we made them.

Dangerously Divided How Race and Class Shape Winning and Losing in American Politics

Zoltan L. Hajnal

UK and US publication January 2020

228 x 152 mm 370pp 23 b/w illus.

978-1-108-71972-8 Paperback £21.99 / US$27.95

AT A GLANCE • Rigorously compares the effects of race, class, and other demographic factors on partisanship and representation in American democracy, tracking trends over time • Measures representation across both electoral and policy outcomes, drawing on data collected over many decades at federal and local levels • Suggests practical changes to make democracy more even and to reduce racial inequality

As America has become more racially diverse and economic inequality has increased, American politics has also become more clearly divided by race and less clearly divided by class. In this landmark book, Zoltan L. Hajnal draws on sweeping data to assess the political impact of the two most significant demographic trends of last fifty years. Examining federal and local elections over many decades, as well as policy, Hajnal shows that race more than class or any other demographic factor shapes not only how Americans vote but also who wins and who loses when the votes are counted and policies are enacted. America has become a racial democracy, with nonWhites and especially African Americans regularly on the losing side. A close look at trends over time shows that these divisions are worsening, yet also reveals that electing Democrats to office can make democracy more even and ultimately reduce inequality in well-being.

Zoltan L. Hajnal is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of the award-winning books White Backlash (with Marisa Abrajano, 2015), Why Americans Don’t Join the Party (with Taeku Lee, 2011), and America’s Uneven Democracy (Cambridge, 2009), and has published op-eds in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He is actively involved in voting rights litigation and local election law reform.

Intelligent Kindness Rehabilitating the Welfare State Second edition

Penelope Campling, John Ballatt and Chris Maloney Intelligent Kindness examines and rehabilitates the concept of the ‘welfare state’.

Despite, or perhaps because of, relentless prescriptive regulatory and structural reforms, scandals continue. Staff are increasingly alienated. Drawing upon narratives and case studies, this book examines what is at stake from perspectives including ethology, psychoanalysis, group relations, and social psychology. The front line of health and social care can be bleak, despite the many rewards of the work, often leaving staff demoralised and exhausted. Their continued well-being, while delivering compassionate and effective care, depends on the cultivation of a culture of kinship, mutuality and collaborative relationships. The authors provide practical, achievable advice that will support and sustain healthy organisational culture and effective, humane practice. Grounded in lived experiences and observations, Intelligent Kindness is a powerful argument for the welfare state and a valuable approach to service reform.

Penelope Campling is a psychiatrist specialising in psychotherapy who worked as a consultant and clinical director at Francis Dixon Lodge, Leicester, for over twenty years. Her interest in groups and therapeutic communities broadened to address the cultures of effective caring organisations.

John Ballatt has had a thirty-year career in UK health and social care as a practitioner, trainer, commissioner, and senior manager. He now works to support individuals, teams, and organisations in improving their wellbeing and effectiveness.

Chris Maloney is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and GP. He set up a psychotherapy service in East Berkshire, and was in a small team that started the Southern Counties NHS Psychotherapy Training. He was then a GP Partner in Hackney, East London for twelve years.

Project Europe A History

Kiran Klaus Patel

PROJECT EUROPE A HISTORY

UK publication April 2020 US publication June 2020

Today it often appears as though the European Union has entered existential crisis after decades of success, condemned by its adversaries as a bureaucratic monster eroding national sovereignty: at best wasteful, at worst dangerous. How did we reach this point and how has European integration impacted on ordinary people’s lives – not just in the member states, but also beyond? Did the predecessors of today’s EU really create peace after World War II, as is often argued? How about its contribution to creating prosperity? What was the role of citizens in this process, and can the EU justifiably claim to be a ‘community of values’? Kiran Klaus Patel’s bracing look back at the myths and realities of integration challenges conventional wisdoms of Europhiles and Eurosceptics alike and shows that the future of Project Europe will depend on the lessons that Europeans derive from its past.

228 x 152 mm c.400pp 978-1-108-49496-0 Hardback £19.99 / US$26.95

AT A GLANCE • Provides an ambitious and innovative analysis of the impact of European integration on peoples’ lives • Assesses each of the core dimensions associated with European integration on a chapter-by-chapter basis to offer fresh insights on the EU’s strengths and weaknesses • Discusses technical issues regarding European integration in an accessible way to make the topic more appealing to a broader audience

Abortion and the Law in America Roe v. Wade to the Present

Mary Ziegler

UK and US publication March 2020

228 x 152 mm c.275pp 978-1-108-73559-9 Paperback c. £21.99 / c. US$29.99

AT A GLANCE • Offers the first legal history of a crucial chapter in the American abortion debate from 1973 to the present • Uncovers an unknown but crucial shift in the terms of the legal and political debate toward claims about the costs and benefits of abortion • Combines intricate legal analysis with moving oral histories, original insights, and broader contextualization • Mines new primary sources, including the private collections of pro-life and pro-choice lawyers and activists, and unexplored papers of social movement organizations

With the Supreme Court likely to reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion decision, American debate appears fixated on clashing rights. The first comprehensive legal history of a vital period, Abortion and the Law in America illuminates an entirely different and unexpected shift in the terms of debate. Rather than simply championing rights, those on opposing sides battled about the policy costs and benefits of abortion and laws restricting it. This mostly unknown turn deepened polarization in ways many have missed. Never abandoning their constitutional demands, pro-choice and pro-life advocates increasingly disagreed about the basic facts. Drawing on unexplored records and interviews with key participants, Ziegler complicates the view that the Supreme Court is responsible for the escalation of the conflict. A gripping account of social-movement divides and crucial legal strategies, this book delivers a definitive recent history of an issue that transforms American law and politics to this day.

Mary Ziegler is Stearns Weaver Miller Professor at Florida State University College of Law and one of the leading authorities on the legal history of abortion in America. She is the author of Beyond Abortion (2018) and the award-winning After Roe (2015). She often lends her expertise to mass media outlets across the world.

Policing the Womb Invisible Women and the Criminalization of Motherhood

Michele Goodwin

UK publication February 2020 US publication March 2020

228 x 152 mm 224pp 1 b/w illus.

978-1-107-03017-6 Hardback £22.99 / US$29.99

AT A GLANCE • Offers a new lens to understand the state’s policing of pregnant women’s bodies • Exposes the laws that undermine women’s civil rights and the rise in these laws that seek to punish women during their pregnancies • Brings to the forefront how racism in healthcare continues to harm women of color, including during pregnancy, and how a focus on the rights of middleclass white women has obscured the more deadly attacks on poor women and their reproductive health

Policing the Womb brings to life the chilling ways in which women have become the targets of secretive state surveillance of their pregnancies. Michele Goodwin expands the reproductive health and rights debate beyond abortion to include how legislators increasingly turn to criminalizing women for miscarriages, stillbirths, and threatening the health of their pregnancies. The horrific results include women giving birth while shackled in leg irons, in solitary confinement, and even delivering in prison toilets. In some states, pregnancy has become a bargaining chip with prosecutors offering reduced sentences in exchange for women agreeing to be sterilized. The author shows how prosecutors may abuse laws and infringe women’s rights in the process, sometimes with the complicity of medical providers who disclose private patient information to law enforcement. Often the women most affected are poor and of color. This timely book brings to light how the unrestrained efforts to punish and police women’s bodies have led to the United States being the deadliest country in the developed world to be pregnant.

Michele Goodwin is an Executive Committee member of the American Civil Liberties Union and elected member of the American Law Institute. She is also a Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California, Irvine where she teaches constitutional law and directs the Center for Biotechnology and Global Health Policy. She is an internationally recognized voice on women’s rights, reproductive health, and constitutional law and lectures worldwide on matters relating to the exploitation of women and girls and the rising regulation of pregnancy and criminalization of women.

Cold Wars Asia, the Middle East, Europe

Lorenz M. Lüthi

UK publication March 2020 US publication May 2020

228 x 152 mm c.784pp 10 maps 978-1-108-40706-9 Paperback £26.99 / US$34.99

AT A GLANCE • Proposes a radical reinterpretation of the Cold War from the perspective of middle and smaller powers in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe • Features new archival sources from two dozen archives in four different continents • Analyses long-term economic, intellectual, and religious developments in multiple world regions to help us to comprehend the complexities of current times

What was the Cold War that shook world politics for the second half of the twentieth century? Standard narratives focus on Soviet-American rivalry as if the superpowers were the exclusive driving forces of the international system. Lorenz M. Lüthi offers a radically different account, restoring agency to regional powers in Asia, the Middle East and Europe and revealing how regional and national developments shaped the course of the global Cold War. Despite their elevated position in 1945, the United States, Soviet Union and United Kingdom quickly realized that their political, economic, and military power had surprisingly tight limits given the challenges of decolonization, AsianAfrican internationalism, pan-Arabism, pan-Islamism, Arab–Israeli antagonism, and European economic developments. A series of Cold Wars ebbed and flowed as the three world regions underwent structural changes that weakened or even severed their links to the global ideological clash, leaving the superpower Cold War as the only major conflict that remained by the 1980s.

Lorenz M. Lüthi is Associate Professor at McGill University, Montréal, and is a leading historian of the Cold War. His first book The Sino-Soviet Split: Cold War in the Communist World (2008) won the 2008 Furniss Award and the 2010 Marshall Shulman Book Prize. His publications on the Vietnam war, Asian-African internationalism, and non-alignment have broken new ground in Cold War history.

Unending Capitalism How Consumerism Negated China’s Communist Revolution

UK publication May 2020 US publication July 2020

228 x 152 mm 382pp 978-0-521-68846-8 Paperback c. £18.99 / c. US$32.99

AT A GLANCE • Challenges conventional histories of capitalism and consumerism • Presents a provocative new interpretation of China – and the world – in the Mao era • Provides fresh, engaging material to explain complex concepts and topics

What forces shaped the twentieth-century world? Capitalism and communism are usually seen as engaged in a fight-to-the-death during the Cold War. With the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party aimed to end capitalism. Karl Gerth argues that despite the socialist rhetoric of class warfare and egalitarianism, Communist Party policies actually developed a variety of capitalism and expanded consumerism. This negated the goals of the Communist Revolution across the Mao era (1949–1976) and down to the present. Through topics related to state attempts to manage what people began to desire - wristwatches and bicycles, films and fashion, leisure travel and Mao badges - Gerth challenges fundamental assumptions about capitalism, communism, and countries conventionally labeled as socialist. In so doing, his provocative history of China suggests how larger forces related to the desire for mass-produced consumer goods reshaped the twentiethcentury world and remade people’s lives.

Karl Gerth is Professor of History at the University of California, San Diego, where he holds the Hwei-Chih and Julia Hsiu Chair in Chinese Studies. His earlier books are As China Goes, So Goes the World (2010) and China Made: Consumer Culture and the Creation of the Nation (2003).

Whitelash Unmasking White Grievance at the Ballot Box

Terry Smith

UK and US publication January 2020

228 x 152 mm c.300pp 7 tables 978-1-108-44546-7 Paperback £18.99 / US$24.99

AT A GLANCE • Examines racist voting patterns in the 2016 US presidential election and shows the potential impact of similar patterns for 2020 and beyond • Uses analogies to anti-discrimination law in employment and juryselection contexts to show how racist election results can be invalidated in the future • Redefines the meaning of the right to vote

If postmortems of the 2016 US presidential election tell us anything, it’s that many voters discriminate on the basis of race, which raises an important question: in a society that outlaws racial discrimination in employment, housing, and jury selections, should voters be permitted to racially discriminate in selecting a candidate for public office? In Whitelash, Terry Smith argues that such racialized decision-making is unlawful and that remedies exist to deter this reactionary behavior. Using evidence of race-based voting in the 2016 presidential election, Smith deploys legal analogies to demonstrate how courts can decipher when groups of voters have been impermissibly influenced by race, and impose appropriate remedies. This groundbreaking work should be read by anyone interested in how the legal system can re-direct American democracy away from the ongoing electoral scourge that many feared 2016 portended.

Terry Smith has spent twenty-five years teaching at national law schools, most recently as a Distinguished Research Professor. His legal scholarship has been cited by federal courts, and he is the author of the book Barack Obama, Post-racialism, and the New Politics of Triangulation (2012).

Trump and Us What He Says and Why People Listen

Roderick P. Hart

UK publication April 2020 US publication February 2020

Why did 62 million Americans vote for Donald Trump? Trump and Us offers a fresh perspective on this question, taking seriously the depth and breadth of Trump’s support. An expert in political language, Roderick P. Hart turns to Trump’s words, voters’ remarks, and media commentary for insight. The book offers the first systematic rhetorical analysis of Trump’s 2016 campaign and early presidency, using text analysis and archives of earlier presidential campaigns to uncover deep emotional undercurrents in the country and provide historical comparison. Trump and Us pays close attention to the emotional dimensions of politics, above and beyond cognition and ideology. Hart argues it was not partisanship, policy, or economic factors that landed Trump in the Oval Office but rather how Trump made people feel.

228 x 152 mm c.276pp 9 b/w illus. 26 tables 978-1-108-79641-5 Paperback £18.99 / US$24.99

A Century of Votes for Women American Elections Since Suffrage

228 x 152 mm 330pp 90 b/w illus.

978-1-316-63807-1 Paperback £18.99 / US$24.99

AT A GLANCE • Offers the first comprehensive analysis of women’s voting behavior over the last 100 years • Places women’s electoral behavior within changing political, economic, and social contexts to show both how women were shaped by their times and how popular understandings of women shaped campaigns and contemporary analysis • Debunks popular and scholarly myths about women voters to show that there is no such thing as ‘the woman voter’

How have American women voted in the first 100 years since the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment? How have popular understandings of women as voters both persisted and changed over time? In A Century of Votes for Women, Christina Wolbrecht and J. Kevin Corder offer an unprecedented account of women voters in American politics over the last ten decades. Bringing together new and existing data, the book provides unique insight into women’s (and men’s) voting behavior, and traces how women’s turnout and vote choice evolved across a century of enormous transformation overall and for women in particular. Wolbrecht and Corder show that there is no such thing as ‘the woman voter’; instead they reveal considerable variation in how different groups of women voted in response to changing political, social, and economic realities. The book also demonstrates how assumptions about women as voters influenced politicians, the press, and scholars.

Christina Wolbrecht is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Rooney Center for the Study of American Democracy at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. She is author of the award-winning books Counting Women’s Ballots (with J. Kevin Corder, Cambridge, 2016) and The Politics of Women’s Rights (2000).

The Caravan Abdallah Azzam and the Rise of Global Jihad

Thomas Hegghammer

UK and US publication March 2020

228 x 152 mm 728pp 978-0-521-76595-4 Hardback £24.99 / US$34.99

AT A GLANCE • Tells the entertaining story of Azzam’s extremely eventful life, culminating in his extremely mysterious death • Explains why the jihadi movement went international in the 1980s, improving our understanding about this ideology and the people behind it • Revises early history of al-Qaida through the use of previously untapped primary sources

Abdallah Azzam, the Palestinian cleric who led the mobilization of Arab fighters to Afghanistan in the 1980s, played a crucial role in the internationalization of the jihadi movement. Killed in mysterious circumstances in 1989 in Peshawar, Pakistan, he remains one of the most influential jihadi ideologues of all time. Here, in the first in-depth biography of Azzam, Thomas Hegghammer explains how Azzam came to play this role and why jihadism went global at this particular time. It traces Azzam’s extraordinary life journey from a West Bank village to the battlefields of Afghanistan, telling the story of a man who knew all the leading Islamists of his time and frequented presidents, CIA agents, and Cat Stevens the pop star. It is, however, also a story of displacement, exclusion, and repression that suggests that jihadism went global for fundamentally local reasons.

Thomas Hegghammer is a Senior Research Fellow at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Universitetet i Oslo. Trained in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford and Sciences Po, Paris, he is the author of the prize-winning book Jihad in Saudi Arabia (Cambridge, 2010) and is the editor of Jihadi Culture (Cambridge, 2017). He has conducted extensive fieldwork in the Middle East, including interviews with former militants, and he has testified on jihadism in front of the US Congress and the British Parliament.

The best way to improve your quality of life is through the decisions you make.

This book teaches several fundamental decision-making skills, provides numerous applications and examples, and ultimately nudges you toward smarter decisions. These nudges frame more desirable decisions for you to face by identifying the objectives for your decisions and generating superior alternatives to those initially considered.

All of the nudges are based on psychology and behavioral economics research and are accessible to all readers. The new concept of a decision opportunity is introduced, which involves creating a decision that you desire to face.

My Opposition The Diary of Friedrich Kellner – A German against the Third Reich

Friedrich Kellner Edited and translated by Robert Scott Kellner

UK and US publication February 2020

228 x 152 mm c.520pp 53 b/w illus.

978-1-108-40696-3 Paperback £13.99 / US$17.95

AT A GLANCE • A remarkable first-hand account of everyday life under National Socialism during the Second World War which documents just how widespread awareness was of the unfolding of the Holocaust • A timeless portrayal of the individual’s struggle against totalitarianism which still resonates today • Includes the dramatic story of the Kellner family and of how the diary was brought to light by Robert Scott Kellner, Friedrich’s grandson • The author’s writings are interspersed with contemporary clippings from the German press • Now available in paperback

This is a truly unique account of Nazi Germany at war and of one man’s struggle against totalitarianism. A mid-level official in a provincial town, Friedrich Kellner kept a secret diary from 1939 to 1945, risking his life to record Germany’s path to dictatorship and genocide, and to protest his countrymen’s complicity in the regime’s brutalities. Just one month into the war he notes how soldiers on leave spoke openly about the extermination of the Jews and the murder of POWs, while he also documents the Gestapo’s merciless rule at home from euthanasia campaigns against the handicapped and mentally ill to the execution of anyone found listening to foreign broadcasts. This essential testimony of everyday life under the Third Reich is accompanied by a foreword by Alan Steinweis and the remarkable story of how the diary was brought to light by Robert Scott Kellner, Friedrich’s grandson.

Robert Scott Kellner discovered his grandfather’s diary in 1960 and has worked tirelessly to bring it to the attention of the world through exhibits at the Dwight Eisenhower and George H. W. Bush Presidential Libraries, a documentary film screened at the United Nations, and the publication of a complete edition of the diary in German and abridgments in Russian and Polish.

BEAT S A LITERARY HISTORY

STEVEN BELLETTO

UK publication March 2020 US publication May 2020

Steven Belletto Kerouac. Ginsberg. Burroughs. These are the most famous names of the Beat Generation, but in fact they were only the front line of a much more wide-ranging literary and cultural movement. This critical history takes readers through key works by these authors, but also radiates out to discuss dozens more writers and their works, showing how they all contributed to one of the most far-reaching literary movements of the post-World War II era. Moving from the early 1940s to the late 1960s, this book explores key aesthetic and thematic innovations of the Beat writers, the pervasiveness of the Beatnik caricature, the role of the counterculture in the post-war era, the involvement of women in the Beat project, and the changing face of Beat political engagement during the Vietnam War era.
