Social psychology

About

9781009256605 Hardback AUD $37.95 / NZD $40.95 Available April 2024 Netta Weinstein, University of Reading Heather Hansen, University of Reading

The average adult spends nearly one-third of their waking life alone. How do we overcome the stigma of solitude and find strength in going it alone?

Whether we love it or try to avoid it, we can make better use of that time.

The science of solitude shows that alone time can be a powerful space used to tap into countless benefits. Translating key research findings into actionable facts and advice, this book shows that alone time can boost well-being. From relaxation and recharging to problem solving and emotion regulation, solitude can benefit personal growth, contentment, creativity, and our relationships with ourselves and others. Learning what makes us better at spending time alone can help us move toward our best possible selves.

The Great Gatsby: The 1926 Broadway Script American literature

About

9781009385220 Hardback AUD $38.95 / NZD $42.95 Available April 2024 James L. W. West III, Pennsylvania State University Anne Margaret Daniel, New School University

The cultural ubiquity of The Great Gatsby is such that it is tempting to think we know almost all there is to say about it. But F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous work still has the capacity to surprise us. Perhaps few admirers of the novel know that it was also adapted for the stage by Owen Davis. In 1926 a successful production ran at the Ambassador Theater in New York City. This edition presents, for the first time in print, the original Broadway script: a fascinating social and literary document, now all but forgotten. The play re-forged Fitzgerald’s novel into a fast-moving dramatization of parties and bootlegging, dancing and drinking, hot jazz, adultery and violence. It afforded an evening of first-rate entertainment for Manhattan theatergoers.

Incorporating photographs of the original sets and actors, reviews, and publicity pasted into Fitzgerald’s scrapbooks, this volume lifts the curtain anew on a singular drama.

Key Features

Advance Praise

•

‘Owen Davis’s stage dramatization of Fitzgerald’s novel is, in more ways than one, a peep behind the scenes at Gatsby’s life. Davis rearranged dialogue and chronology, while to sticking to the familiar story – rather in the manner of a jazz musician improvising on a standard. His hero is closer to bootlegger Gatz than playboy Gatsby. Anne Margaret Daniel and James L. W. West have unearthed a fascinating curiosity. Their introduction provides just the right amount of confidential information the audience needs, before the play begins.’

James Campbell, Author of Talking at the Gates: A Life of James Baldwin

This edition makes available in print for the first time the script for this fascinating and lively 1926 Broadway adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous novel Includes an introduction that explores how director George Cukor played up the elements of jazz, adultery, and crime for the theater audience Includes photographs of the actors and stage sets from the 1926 production, as well as reviews and publicity pasted into Fitzgerald’s scrapbook, making it an essential purchase for all who cherish The Great Gatsby and admire its author

‘Short of discovering a portal to the past or building a time machine, readers will never come closer to returning to Broadway’s Jazz Age heyday than with this edition of Owen Davis’s 1926 theatrical adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Masterfully edited by Anne Margaret Daniel and James L. W. West III, Davis’s script channels the melancholy spirit of Fitzgerald’s classic while making the changes necessary for the tragic story of American aspiration to succeed on the stage, allowing us to appreciate why the show ran for more than 100 performances.’

Byron: A Life in Ten Letters

English literature

About

9781009200165 Hardback AUD $47.95 / NZD $51.95 Available February 2024 Andrew Stauffer, University of Virginia

Lord Byron was the most celebrated of all the Romantic poets. Troubled, handsome, sexually fluid, disabled, and transgressive, he wrote his way to international fame – and scandal – before finding a kind of redemption in the Greek Revolution. He also left behind the vast trove of thrilling letters (to friends, relatives, lovers, and more) that form the core of this remarkable biography. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Byron’s death, and adopting a fresh approach, it explores his life and work through some of his best, most resonant correspondence. Each chapter opens with Byron’s own voice – as if we have opened a letter from the poet himself – followed by a vivid account of the emotions and experiences that missive touches. This gripping life traces the meteoric trajectory of a poet whose brilliance shook the world and whose legacy continues to shape art and culture to this day.

About

9781108477352 Hardback AUD $57.95 / NZD $62.95 Available May 2024 Sergey Radchenko, Johns Hopkins University

What would it feel like To Run the World? The Soviet rulers spent the Cold War trying desperately to find out. In this panoramic new history of the conflict that defined the postwar era, Sergey Radchenko provides an unprecedented deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin’s decisionmaking. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin’s postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev’s reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev’s jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev’s failed attempts to reinvent Moscow’s claims to greatness. Perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and desire for recognition propelled Moscow on a headlong quest for global power, with dire consequences and painful legacies that continue to shape our world.

Born in Blood investigates one of history’s most violent undertakings: The United States of America. People the world over consider violence in the United States as measurably different than that which troubles the rest of the globe, citing reasons including gun culture, the American West, Hollywood, the death penalty, economic inequality, rampant individualism, and more.

This compelling examination of American violence explains a political culture of violence from the American Revolution to the Gilded Age, illustrating how physical force, often centered on racial hierarchy, sustained the central tenets of American liberal government. It offers an important story of nationhood, told through the experiences and choices of civilians, Indians, politicians, soldiers, and the enslaved, providing historical context for understanding how violence has shaped the United States from its inception.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 6 (June 1934–June 1936) traces the completion and publication of Hemingway’s experimental nonfiction book Green Hills of Africa and work on stories including ‘The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber’ and ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro.’ In more than twenty pieces in Esquire, he relates his hunting and fishing exploits, discusses writing and writers, and becomes more politically vocal, addressing topical concerns.

During this period he immerses himself in big game fishing off Key West, Cuba, and Bimini, gathering specimens for scientific study and making record catches, as well as taking on boxing challengers. He maintains longstanding literary friendships, advises and helps aspiring writers and contemporary artists, and makes public his disdain of critics. Volume 6 also features for the first time an Appendix of Earlier Letters (1918–1934) that have come to light since publication of previous volumes. Writing his epistolary autobiography, Hemingway himself reveals the many and sometimes contradictory facets of his wide-ranging genius.

9781009161145 Hardback AUD $66.95 / NZD $72.95 Available January 2024 Douglas Porch, Naval Postgraduate School

In Resistance and Liberation, Douglas Porch continues his epic history of France at war. Emerging from the debâcle of 1940, France faced the quandary of how to rebuild military power, protect the empire, and resuscitate its global influence. While Charles de Gaulle rejected the armistice and launched his offshore crusade to reclaim French honor within the Allied camp, defeatists at Vichy embraced cooperation with the victorious Axis. The book charts the emerging dynamics of la France libre and the Alliance, Vichy collaboration, and the swelling resistance to the Axis occupation. From the campaigns in Tunisia and Italy to Liberation, Douglas Porch traces how de Gaulle sought to forge a French army and prevent civil war. He captures the experiences of ordinary French men and women caught up in war and defeat, the choices they made, the trials they endured, and how this has shaped France’s memory of those traumatic years.

About

9781009257275 Hardback AUD $53.99 / NZD $57.99 Available January 2024 Donald Stoker, National Defense University

Across the full span of the nation’s history, Donald Stoker challenges our understanding of the purposes and uses of American power. From the struggle for independence to the era of renewed competition with China and Russia, he reveals the grand strategies underpinning the nation’s pursuit of sovereignty, security, expansion, and democracy abroad. He shows how successive administrations have projected diplomatic, military, and economic power, and mobilized ideas and information to preserve American freedoms at home and secure US aims abroad. He exposes the myth of American isolationism, the good and ill of America’s quest for democracy overseas, and how too often its administrations have lacked clear political aims or a concrete vision for where they want to go. Understanding this history is vital if America is to relearn how to use its power to meet the challenges ahead and to think more clearly about political aims and grand strategy.

A Philosopher Looks at Friendship Ethics

About

9781009255547 Paperback Price is not set Available July 2024 Sophie Grace Chappell, The Open University

What is it to be a friend? What does the role of friend involve, and why? How do the obligations and prerogatives associated with that role follow on from it, and how might they mesh, or clash, with our other duties and privileges?

Philosophy often treats friendship as something systematic, serious, and earnest, and much philosophical thought has gone into how ‘friendship’ can formally be defined. How indeed can friendship be good for us if it doesn’t fit into a philosopher’s neat, systematising theory of the good? For Sophie Grace Chappell, friendship is neither systematic nor earnest, yet is certainly one of the greatest goods of life. Drawing on well-known examples from popular culture, and examining these alongside recent philosophical, political, social, and theological debates, Chappell demystifies and redefines friendship as a highly untidy and many-sided good, and certainly also as one of the most central goods of human experience.
