Gulliver’s Travels
The Cambridge Anniversary Edition
English literature
About
Gulliver’s Travels is one of the landmarks of world literature. Gulliver’s adventures with the tiny but spirited Lilliputians, the giant inhabitants of Brobdingnag, the flying island of Laputa, and the rational horses of Houyhnmhnmland have become globally famous for their satirical wit and visionary creativity. Early editions credited Gulliver himself as the author, and many readers believed him to be a real person. Later commentators have variously described the work as proto-science fiction, as inspired children’s literature and as a forerunner of the modern novel. The editor’s introduction to this celebratory anniversary edition contextualises Gulliver’s Travels in Swift’s life and work as a whole while exploring its rich and remarkable afterlife. All the original illustrations and maps are included, as are the frontispiece portraits. Generous annotation explains textual details which might now seem obscure, and appendices contain additional documents and images to enhance contemporary understanding and enjoyment.
Advance Praise
‘The new Cambridge edition of Swift’s masterpiece is a splendid venture. David Womersley’s extensive introduction is both magisterial and enlightening, and the Appendices, which include the unpublished Lindalino episode, will be a joy for confirmed Swiftians and new readers alike. Chapeau!’
John Banville
‘The perfect guide to the enthralling, bewildering, hilarious experience of reading Swift’s satirical masterpiece.’

Matthew Worley
Foreword by Paul Morley
Key Features
• Revised and updated edition of this acclaimed history of punk culture
• Includes a new foreword by Paul Morley on the emergence of punk
• Demonstrates how punk and its related cultures reflected and even shaped social and political change
No Future Anniversary Edition
Punk, Politics and British Youth Culture, 1976–
British and Irish history
About
‘No Feelings’, ‘No Fun’, ‘No Future’. The years 1976 to 1984 saw punk emerge and evolve as a fashion, a musical form, an attitude and an aesthetic. Against a backdrop of social fragmentation, violence, high unemployment and socio-economic change, punk rejuvenated and re-energised British youth culture, inserting marginal voices and political ideas into pop. Rejecting both tired clichés and nostalgic myths, Matthew Worley provides the definitive account of how punk was constructed and utilised from the ground up. He takes youth culture seriously as a way of understanding history, demonstrating how punk not only reflected but directly impacted social and political history through its unique ability to provoke, disrupt and subvert. This revised and updated edition marks fifty years since the birth of punk and includes a new foreword from acclaimed music journalist, Paul Morley. It remains the foremost history of British punk.
About the Author
Matthew Worley is Professor of Modern History at the University of Reading. He has written widely on punk-related cultures in various journals and is the author of Zerox Machine: Punk, Post-Punk and Fanzines in Britain, 1976–88 (2024).

Marten Scheffer, Wageningen Universiteit, The Netherlands
Key Features

• Highlights the entrenched interests which hold back change including the role of large corporations and wealthy oligarchies
Tipping Out of Trouble
How Societies Transformed and How We Can Do So Again
History
About
What kind of trouble lies ahead? How can we successfully transition towards a sustainable future? Drawing on a remarkably broad range of insights from complex systems and the functioning of the brain to the history of civilizations and the workings of modern societies, the distinguished scientist Marten Scheffer addresses these key questions of our times. He looks to the past to show how societies have tipped out of trouble before, the mechanisms that drive social transformations and the invisible hands holding us back. He traces how long-standing practices such as the slave trade and foot-binding were suddenly abandoned and how entire civilizations have collapsed to make way for something new. Could we be heading for a similarly dramatic change? Marten Scheffer argues that a dark future is plausible but not yet inevitable and he provides us instead with a hopeful roadmap to steer ourselves away from collapse-and toward renewal.
About the Author
Marten Scheffer is a distinguished professor at Wageningen University and an expert on stability of complex systems ranging from the climate and the brain to societies and ecosystems. His work is highly cited and he is associated to the Dutch as well as the US academies of sciences.

Coverage Denied
How Health Insurers Drive Inequality in the United States
Politics and social theory
About
AUD $54.95 / NZD $59.95 Available April 2026
Miranda Yaver, University of Pittsburgh
Key Features
• Identifies and examines the core themes of administrative burden and inequity in healthcare coverage
• Utilizes patient narratives to highlight the human stories behind healthcare data
• Provides an interdisciplinary analysis that weaves a thread through politics, policy, and patients’ health
In the aftermath of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, everyday Americans took to social media to share stories of the challenges they’d faced trying to navigate the American health insurance system. Why did this event strike such a nerve with the American public? For a topic as central to the lives of Americans as health care, there is no book that examines the impact of coverage denial, whereby health insurers decide whether to cover health services that appear to be within the scope of a plan’s benefits – not until now. In Coverage Denied, health policy professor Miranda Yaver offers a sobering account of the ways in which coverage denials damage patient health and exacerbate inequalities along income, education, and racial lines. Combining rich interview material with original survey data, Yaver draws critical attention to the tens of millions of medical claims denied by health insurers every year, shining a necessary light on our inequitable health care system.
About the Author
Miranda Yaver is an assistant professor of Health Policy and Management at the University of Pittsburgh. She was the 2025 Author-in-Residence at the Roosevelt Institute. Her research has been published in several journals, including American Journal of Political Science and Journal of Health Politics, Policy, and Law.
Advance Praise
‘Miranda Yaver has produced a deeply disturbing interrogation of America’s deeply dysfunctional health care system. Brilliantly researched, with stories that will enrage you, Coverage Denied is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand why America’s health insurance bureaucracy can be so arbitrary and heartless – and why it doesn’t have to be that way.’

Sweet Home Feliciana
Family, Slavery, and the Hauntings of History
American history
About
In this tapestry of intersecting stories, including those of her own family, Rashauna Johnson charts the global transformation of a rural region in Louisiana from European colonialism to Jim Crow. From her ancestor Virgil to her cousin Veronica and her hand-sewn Mardi Gras memorial suit more than a century later, this history is one of triumphs and trauma, illustrating the ways people of African descent have created sites of endurance, belonging, and resistance. Johnson uses her grandmother’s birthplace in East Feliciana as a prism to illuminate foundational, if fraught, aspects of US history including colonialism, slavery, war, citizenship, and unfinished freedom. The result is a portrait of the world in a family, a family in a region, and a region in the world that insists on the bristling and complicated relationships of people to place and creates a new understanding of what it means to be American.
About the Author
Rashauna Johnson is Associate Professor of History at the University of Chicago. She is the author of the prizewinning book Slavery’s Metropolis: Unfree Labor in New Orleans during the Age of Revolutions
Advance Praise
‘This is a book I have been waiting, yearning, for. In this important and beautifully written work, Johnson takes up the sorely neglected topic of Black homemaking/peacemaking in the rural South, rural but not unconnected to regional, national, and global webs of circulation – of economies, revolution, and knowledge. It is a powerful story not of people ‘run off’ but who stayed and fought and found ‘warmth under the same old sun.’’

Huw Bennett, Cardiff University
When Operation Banner was launched in 1969 civil war threatened to break out in Northern Ireland and spread over the Irish Sea. Uncivil War reveals the full story of how the British army acted to save Great Britain from disaster during the most violent phase of the Troubles but, in so doing, condemned the people of Northern Ireland to protracted, grinding conflict. Huw Bennett shows how the army’s ambivalent response to loyalist violence undermined the prospects for peace and heightened Catholic distrust in the state.
