This book is a sweeping historical portrait of the floating city of Venice from its foundations to the present day. Joanne M. Ferraro considers Venice’s unique construction within an amphibious environment and identifies the Asian, European and North African exchange networks that made it a vibrant and ethnically diverse Mediterranean cultural centre.

Incorporating recent scholarly insights, the author discusses key themes related to the city’s social, cultural, religious and environmental history, as well as its politics and economy. A refuge and a pilgrim stop; an international emporium and centre of manufacture; a mecca of spectacle, theatre, music, gambling and sexual experimentation; and an artistic and architectural marvel, Venice’s allure springs eternal in every phase of the city’s fascinating history.

History

The Italian Renaissance State Edited by Andrea Gamberini Università degli Studi di Milano

and Isabella Lazzarini

Università degli Studi del Molise, Italy

Description This magisterial study proposes a revised and innovative view of the political history of Renaissance Italy. Drawing on comparative examples from across the peninsula and the kingdoms of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, an international team of leading scholars highlights the complexity and variety of the Italian world from the fourteenth to early sixteenth centuries, surveying the mosaic of kingdoms, principalities, signorie and republics against a backdrop of wider political themes common to all types of state in the period. The authors address the contentious problem of the apparent weakness of the Italian Renaissance political system. By repositioning the Renaissance as a political, rather than simply an artistic and cultural phenomenon, they identify the period as a pivotal moment in the history of the state, in which political languages, practices and tools, together with political and governmental institutions, became vital to the evolution of a modern European political identity.

Key Features • Re-orientates the historiography of the Italian Renaissance to include a new emphasis on politics • Presents groundbreaking Italian political history in the English language • Situates the political history of Renaissance Italy in the mainstream of contemporary research into the origins of the modern European state

Modernity and Bourgeois Life

Society, Politics, and Culture in England, France and Germany since 1750

Jerrold Seigel

New York University

Society, Politics and Culture in England, France and Germany since 1750

Description To be modern may mean many different things, but for nineteenth-century Europeans ‘modernity’ suggested a new form of life in which bourgeois activities, people, attitudes and values all played key roles. Jerrold Seigel’s panoramic new history offers a magisterial and highly original account of the ties between modernity and bourgeois life, arguing that they can be best understood not in terms of the rise and fall of social classes, but as features of a common participation in expanding and thickening ‘networks of means’ that linked together distant energies and resources across economic, political and cultural life. Exploring the different configurations of these networks in England, France and Germany, he shows how their patterns gave rise to distinctive forms of modernity in each country and shaped the rhythm and nature of change across spheres as diverse as politics, money and finance, gender relations, morality, and literary, artistic and musical life.

Key Features • Provides a new intellectual framework for understanding the making of modernity in Western Europe • Offers a new basis for comparing the histories of England, France and Germany • Integrates the histories of politics, society, economics and finance, gender relations, morality, Jewish life and culture

Contents

Preface; 1. Introduction: ends and means; Part I. Contours of Modernity: 2. Precocious integration: England; 3. Monarchical centralization, privilege, and conflict: France; 4. Localism, state-building, and bürgerliche gesellschaft: Germany;

History

Staying Roman Conquest and Identity in Africa and the Mediterranean, 439–700

Jonathan Conant

Brown University, Rhode Island

Description What did it mean to be Roman once the Roman Empire had collapsed in the West? Staying Roman examines Roman identities in the region of modern Tunisia and Algeria between the fifth-century Vandal conquest and the seventh-century Islamic invasions. Using historical, archaeological and epigraphic evidence, this study argues that the fracturing of the empire’s political unity also led to a fracturing of Roman identity along political, cultural and religious lines, as individuals who continued to feel ‘Roman’ but who were no longer living under imperial rule sought to redefine what it was that connected them to their fellow Romans elsewhere. The resulting definitions of Romanness could overlap, but were not always mutually reinforcing. Significantly, in late antiquity Romanness had a practical value, and could be used in remarkably flexible ways to foster a sense of similarity or difference over space, time and ethnicity, in a wide variety of circumstances.

Key Features • Bridges the traditional historiographic divide between classical studies and medieval history to present a fuller picture of the transition from Roman to post-Roman identities • Situates North Africa and its citizens in a pan-Mediterranean context, emphasising the geographical links which influenced Roman identities • Provides historians, archaeologists and art historians of the classical, medieval, Byzantine and Islamic periods with a nuanced interpretation of the Roman Empire’s long-term influence in shaping the Mediterranean world

Contents

Introduction; 1. The legitimation of Vandal power; 2. Flight and communications; 3. The old ruling class under the Vandals;

4. New Rome, new Romans; 5. The Moorish alternative; 6. The dilemma of dissent; Aftermath; Conclusions.

Understanding the Archaeological Record Gavin Lucas

University of Iceland, Reykjavik

Description This book explores the diverse understandings of the archaeological record in both historical and contemporary perspective, while also serving as a guide to reassessing current views.

Gavin Lucas argues that archaeological theory has become both too fragmented and disconnected from the particular nature of archaeological evidence. The book examines three ways of understanding the archaeological record – as historical sources, through formation theory and as material culture – then reveals ways to connect these three domains through a reconsideration of archaeological entities and archaeological practice.

Ultimately, Lucas calls for a rethinking of the nature of the archaeological record and the kind of history and narratives written from it.

Key Features • Examines views of the archaeological record in an international perspective • Stresses the importance of linking theory to the particular characteristics of archaeological evidence • Re-thinks the nature of social archaeology

Contents

1. The trouble with theory; 2. The total record; 3. Formation theory; 4. Materialized culture; 5. Archaeological entities; 6. Archaeological interventions; 7. A ‘new’ social archaeology?

India in the World Economy tirthankar roy

From Antiquity to the Present

Tirthankar Roy

London School of Economics and Political Science

India in the World Economy From Antiquity to the Present

Description Cross-cultural exchange has characterised the economic life of India since antiquity. Its long coastline has afforded convenient access to Asia and Africa, and trading partnerships formed in the exchange of commodities ranging from textiles to military technology. In a journey spanning 2,000 years, this book describes the ties of trade, migration and investment between India and the rest of the world, showing how changing patterns of globalisation reverberated on economic policy, politics, and political ideology within India. Through his narrative, Doctor Tirthankar asks three major questions: Is this a particularly Indian story?

When did the big turning points happen? Is it possible to distinguish the modern from the pre-modern pattern of exchange? These questions invite a new approach to the study of Indian history by placing the region squarely at the centre of the narrative. This is global history written on India’s terms, inviting South Asian, Indian and global historians to rethink both their history and their methodologies.

Key Features • A novel approach to Indian economic history which sets trade and mercantile activity in the region within a global framework • The book assesses the importance of India’s economy across 2,000 years from antiquity to the present • Written by a senior scholar in the field for students and all those interested in India’s mercantile past and its impact on the world economy

Contents

Preface; 1. Introduction: India and global history; 2. Ports and hinterlands to 1200; 3. Receding land frontiers, 1200–1700; 4. The Indian Ocean trade, 1500–1800; 5. Trade, migration, and investment, 1800–50;

6. Trade, migration, and investment, 1850–1920; 7. Colonialism and development, 1860–1920; 8. Depression and decolonization, 1920–50; 9. From trade to aid, 1950–80; 10. Return to market, 1980–2010; 11 Conclusion: A new India?

A History of Modern Libya Second edition

Dirk Vandewalle

Dartmouth College, New Hampshire

Description Dirk Vandewalle is one of only a handful of scholars to have frequently visited Libya over the last four decades. Here he tracks Libya’s story from the 1900s to the Italian occupation in the early twentieth century, through the Sanusi monarchy and, thereafter, to the revolution of 1969 and the accession of Qadhafi. Chapters analyse the economics and politics of Qadhafi’s revolution, offering insights into the man and his ideology as reflected in his Green Book.

This updated edition includes coverage of the period 2003–2011, as Libya finally came in from the cold after years of political and economic isolation. The agreement to give up a weapons of mass destruction program paved the way for improved relations with the West.

By this time, though, Qadhafi had lost support at home and, despite attempts to liberalize the economy, real structural reform proved impossible. This, coupled with tribal rivalries, regional division and a general lack of unity, paved the way for revolution and civil war.

Key Features • An updated edition of Vandewalle’s classic history which now takes in the crucial years from 2003 to the revolution in 2011 • Vandewalle writes of a failed state beset by regional and tribal rivalries and with no institutional basis • Epilogue reflects on Qadhafi’s stateless society and the legacy he will leave behind

Contents

Introduction; 1. ‘A tract which is wholly sand …’; 2. Italy’s fourth shore and decolonization; 3. The Sanusi monarchy as accidental state, 1951–1969;

4. A Libyan sandstorm: from monarchy to republic, 1969–1973; 5. The Green Book’s stateless society, 1973–1986; 6. The limits of revolution, 1986–2003; 7. From reconciliation to civil war, 2003–2011; Epilogue: farewell to the revolution?

A Short History of Ireland Third edition

John O’Beirne Ranelagh Description This third edition of John O’Beirne Ranelagh’s classic history of Ireland incorporates contemporary political and economic events as well as the latest archaeological and DNA discoveries. Comprehensively revised and updated throughout, it considers Irish history from the earliest times through the Celts, Cromwell, plantations, famine, Independence, the Omagh bomb, peace initiatives, and financial collapse. It profiles the key players in Irish history from Diarmuid MacMurrough to Gerry Adams and casts new light on the events, North and South, that have shaped Ireland today. Ireland’s place in the modern world and its relationship with Britain, the US and Europe is also examined with a fresh and original eye. Worldwide interest in Ireland continues to increase, but whereas it once focussed on violence in Northern Ireland, the tumultuous financial events in the South has opened fresh debates and drawn fresh interest. This is a new history for a new era.

Key Features • An even-handed, accessible history of Ireland from earliest times to the present • New edition incorporates the latest historical and genetic research as well as recent political and economic developments • Deals with Ireland as an entity politically and culturally, placing people and issues of significance in context and relating them to the wider world

A History of Tasmania Description

Reynolds

This captivating work charts the history of Tasmania from the arrival of European maritime expeditions in the late eighteenth century, through to the modern day. By presenting the perspectives of both Indigenous Tasmanians and British settlers, author Henry Reynolds provides an original and engaging exploration of these first fraught encounters.

Utilising key themes to bind his narrative, Reynolds explores how geography created a unique economic and migratory history for Tasmania, quite separate from the mainland experience. He offers an astute analysis of the island’s economic and demographic reality, by noting that this facilitated the survival of a rich heritage of colonial architecture unique in Australia, and allowed the resident population to foster a powerful web of kinship.

Reynolds’ remarkable capacity to empathise with the characters of his chronicle makes this a powerful, engaging and moving account of Tasmania’s unique position within Australian history.

A History

James Forsyth

A H I S TO RY

University of Aberdeen

Description A fascinating new survey of the Caucasus which provides a unified narrative history of this complex and turbulent region at the borderlands of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, from prehistory to the present. For thousands of years the Caucasus has formed a hub of intersecting routes of migration, invasion, trade and culture and a geographical bridge between Europe and Asia, subject to recurring imperial invasion. Drawing on sources in English, Russian and translations from Persian and Arabic, this authoritative study centres on the region’s indigenous peoples, including Abkhazians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Daghestanis, Circassians, and Georgians, and their relations with outsiders who still play a part in the life of the region today. The book presents a critical view of the role of Russian imperialism in the Caucasian countries and the desperate struggle of most of its native peoples in their efforts to establish a precarious independence.

Key Features • An authoritative and comprehensive history of the Caucasus and its peoples from prehistory to the present • Treats the Caucasus as a distinct region in its own right, highlighting its relationship with its Middle Eastern neighbours • Highlights the region’s long struggle against Iranian, Turkish and Russian domination

Business of War

David Parrott

Military Enterprise and Military Revolution in Early Modern Europe

University of Oxford

dav id pa r rot t

Description This is a major new approach to the military revolution and the relationship between warfare and the power of the state in early modern Europe. Whereas previous accounts have emphasised the growth of state-run armies during this period, David Parrott argues instead that the delegation of military responsibility to sophisticated and extensive networks of private enterprise reached unprecedented levels. This included not only the hiring of troops but their equipping, the supply of food and munitions, and the financing of their operations. The book reveals the extraordinary prevalence and capability of private networks of commanders, suppliers, merchants and financiers who managed the conduct of war on land and at sea, challenging the traditional assumption that reliance on mercenaries and the private sector results in corrupt and inefficient military force. In so doing, the book provides essential historical context to contemporary debates about the role of the private sector in warfare.

Key Features • Offers an alternative view of early modern warfare, challenging state-centred models and breaking with some of the key assumptions about an early modern ‘military revolution’ • The first detailed account of privatised military activity and organisation from 1500 to 1700 • Challenges assumptions about the military effectiveness of mercenaries and the viability of privatised military organisation; debates with particular contemporary relevance

Islamic Societies to the Nineteenth Century A Global History

Islamic Societies to the Nineteenth Century

Ira M. Lapidus

University of California, Berkeley

A Global History

Description

Ira Lapidus’s global history of Islamic societies, first published in 1988, has become a classic in the field. This book, Islamic Societies to the Nineteenth Century, which is based on parts one and two of Lapidus’s monumental study, revised and updated, describes the transformations of Islamic societies from their beginning in the seventh century through their diffusion across the world into the nineteenth century. The story focuses on the Ira Lapidus organization of primary communities, religious groups and states and shows how they were transformed by their interactions with other societies and religions into a varied and interconnected family of societies. The book concludes with the beginning of European commercial and imperial domination that initiated a new set of transformations in the Islamic world and the onset of the modern era. This book is a unique endeavor; its breadth, clarity, style and thoughtful exposition will ensure its place in the classroom and beyond.

Key Features • Charts the transformation of pre-modern Islamic societies from the seventh century to the nineteenth century • Lapidus, one of the leading historians of his generation, shows how Islamic societies evolved and changed through interaction with different cultures into a global religion • The book’s breadth, clarity and balance will ensure its place in the classroom and beyond to all those interested in the spread and multifaceted nature of Islam

The Good Muslim Reflections on Classical Islamic Law and Theology

Mona Siddiqui

The Good Muslim

University of Edinburgh

Description In this thought-provoking book, Mona Siddiqui reflects upon key themes in Islamic law and theology. These themes, which range through discussions about friendship, divorce, drunkenness, love, slavery and ritual slaughter, offer fascinating insights into Islamic ethics and the way in which arguments developed in medieval juristic discourse. Pre-modern Reflections on Classical Islamic Law and Theology religious works contained a richness of thought, hesitation and speculation on a wide range of topics, which were socially relevant but also presented intellectual challenges to the scholars for whom God’s revelation could be understood in diverse ways. These subjects Mona Siddiqui remain relevant today, for practising Muslims and scholars of Islamic law and religious studies. Mona Siddiqui is an astute and articulate interpreter who relays complex ideas about the Islamic tradition with great clarity. Her book charts her own journey through the classical texts and reflects upon how the principles expounded there have guided her own thinking, teaching and research.

Key Features • An articulate and thought-provoking book which considers key themes – love, friendship, divorce – and how they were interpreted by medieval scholars • Written by a leading scholar and well-known commentator, the book reflects her personal choices and experiences as a Muslim in today’s world • Intended for students and scholars of theology, history, religious studies and those interested in inter-religious debate

Contents

1. Spoken, intended and problematic divorce in Hanafi Fiqh; 2. Between person and property – slavery in Quduri’s Mukhtasar; 3. Pig, purity and permission in Maliki slaughter; 4. Islamic and other perspectives on evil; 5. The language of love in the Qur’an; 6. Virtue and limits in the ethics of friendship; 7. Drinking and drunkenness in Ibn Rushd.

Geography in Classical Antiquity Daniela Dueck

Bar-Ilan University, Israel

With contributions by Kai Brodersen Universität Erfurt, Germany

Description What were the limits of knowledge of the physical world in Greek and Roman antiquity?

How far did travellers get and what did they know about far-away regions? How did they describe foreign countries and peoples? How did they measure the earth, and distances and heights on it? Ideas about the physical and cultural world are a key aspect of ancient history, but until now there has been no up-to-date modern overview of the subject. This book explores the beginnings and development of geographical ideas in Classical antiquity and demonstrates technical methods for describing landscape, topographies and ethnographies.

The survey relies on a variety of sources: philosophical and scientific texts but also poems and travelogues; papyrological remains and visual monuments.

Key Features • Introductory text to geographical ideas and practices in Classical antiquity • The only updated survey of the theme • Incorporates updated information on recent archaeological and papyrological findings

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Descriptive geography; 3. Mathematical geography; 4. Cartography; 5. Geography in practice.

The History of Mathematical Proof in Ancient Traditions

Edited by Karine Chemla

Edited by

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris

K ar ine Chemla

Description This radical, profoundly scholarly book explores the purposes and nature of proof in a range of historical settings. It overturns the view that the first mathematical proofs were in Greek geometry and rested on the logical insights of Aristotle by showing how much of that view is an artefact of nineteenth-century historical scholarship. It documents the existence of proofs in ancient mathematical writings about numbers and shows that practitioners of mathematics in Mesopotamian, Chinese and Indian cultures knew how to prove the correctness of algorithms, which are much more prominent outside the limited range of surviving classical Greek texts that historians have taken as the paradigm of ancient mathematics. It opens the way to providing the first comprehensive, textually based history of proof.

Key Features • A groundbreaking global outlook of the history of mathematical proof in the ancient traditions • Offers a reflection on the shaping of the Eurocentric history of proof in the nineteenth century • Will appeal to historians and philosophers of science as well as mathematicians

Contents

Prologue: historiography and history of mathematical proof: a research program; Part I. Views on the Historiography of Mathematical Proof: 1. The Euclidean ideal of proof in The Elements and philological uncertainties of Heiberg’s edition of the text; 2. Diagrams and arguments in ancient Greek mathematics: lessons drawn from comparisons of the manuscript diagrams with those in modern critical editions; 3. The texture of Archimedes’ arguments: through Heiberg’s veil; 4. John Philoponus and the conformity of mathematical proofs to Aristotelian demonstrations;

5. Contextualising Playfair and Colebrooke on proof and demonstration in the Indian mathematical tradition (1780–1820); 6. Overlooking mathematical justifications in the Sanskrit tradition: the nuanced case of G. F. Thibaut; 7.

International Law and International Relations SECOND EDITION

Description In this fully updated and revised edition, the authors explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context. They propose three interdisciplinary ‘lenses’ (realist, liberal and constructivist) through which to view the role of international law in world politics and suggest that the concept of an international society provides the overall context within which international legal developments occur. These theoretical perspectives offer different ways of looking at international law in terms of what it is, how it works and how it changes. Topics covered include the use of force, international crimes, human rights, international trade and the environment. The new edition also contains more material on non-western perspectives, international institutions and non-state actors and a new bibliography. Each chapter features discussion questions and guides to further reading.

Key Features • Clear and accessible introduction which makes international law understandable to students of international relations and law • New edition is fully updated and contains new material on international crime, non-western perspectives, the role of international institutions and other non-state actors, and ‘English School’ theory • Brings leading theories together with key events (the Iraq War, the Libyan intervention, the creation of the International Criminal Court) to show the impact of law on world politics

New to this Edition • Updated to take account of recent events such as the Libyan intervention • More material on several areas, including responsibility to protect, terrorism, the processes of international law making and human rights • A new conclusion ‘Law and Power in an Evolving World Order’ takes account of the fact the we are moving away from the US dominated unipolar world that seemed likely to dominate this century

Description

G E O R G E J . G I L B OY • E R I C H E G I N B OT H A M

This book offers an empirical comparison of Chinese and Indian international strategic behavior. It is the first study of its kind, filling an important gap in the literature on rising Indian and Chinese power and American interests in Asia. The book creates a framework for the systematic and objective assessment of Chinese and Indian strategic behavior in four areas: (1) strategic culture; (2) foreign policy and use of force; (3) military modernization (including defense spending, military doctrine, and force modernization); and (4) economic strategies (including international trade and energy competition). The utility of democratic peace theory in predicting Chinese and Indian behavior is also examined. The findings challenge many assumptions underpinning western expectations of China and India.

Key Features • First comprehensive side-by-side empirical comparison of the world’s two most important rising powers, China and India • Findings challenge many western assumptions about China and India as international powers and present new recommendations for American policy • For upper-level undergraduates and above: a data-rich study that examines enduring questions of international relations theory and foreign policy

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Strategic culture: unique paths to veiled realpolitik; 3. Foreign policy, use of force, and border settlements; 4. Military modernization: defense spending;

5. Military doctrine: towards emphasis on offensive action; 6. Military force modernization and power projection; 7. Economic strategic behavior: trade and energy; 8. India, China, and democratic peace theory; 9. Meeting the dual challenge: a U.S. strategy for China and India.

Achieving Nuclear Ambitions Scientists, Politicians and Proliferation

Jacques E. C. Hymans

University of Southern California

Description Despite the global spread of nuclear hardware and knowledge, at least half of the nuclear weapons projects launched since 1970 have definitively failed, and even the successful projects have generally needed far more time than expected. To explain this puzzling slowdown in proliferation, Jacques E. C. Hymans focuses on the relations between politicians and scientific and technical workers in developing countries. By undermining the workers’ spirit of professionalism, developing country rulers unintentionally thwart their own nuclear ambitions. Combining rich theoretical analysis, in-depth historical case studies of Iraq, China, Yugoslavia and Argentina and insightful analyses of current-day proliferant states, Achieving Nuclear Ambitions develops a powerful new perspective that effectively counters the widespread fears of a coming cascade of new nuclear powers.

Key Features • Offers detailed case studies of Iraq, China, Yugoslavia and Argentina, and additional shadow case studies of the USSR, Pakistan, North Korea and Iran • Highlights the puzzling decline over time in the efficiency of nuclear weapons projects, and in-depth research on the internal dynamics of past nuclear programs upends conventional assumptions • Demonstrates the insufficiency of narrow technical analyses of proliferation capacity and promises to revolutionize nuclear proliferation intelligence

Contents

1. The puzzle of declining nuclear weapons project efficiency; 2. A theory of nuclear weapons project implementation; 3. Spinning in place: Iraq’s fruitless quest for nuclear weapons; 4. How did China’s nuclear weapons project succeed?; 5. Proliferation implications of civil nuclear cooperation: theory and a case study of Tito’s Yugoslavia; 6. Proliferation implications of footloose nuclear scientists: theory and a case study of Perón’s Argentina; 7. Empirical extensions: USSR, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran; 8. Lessons for policy.

Politics

This book completes Margaret Archer’s trilogy investigating the role of reflexivity in mediating between structure and agency. What do young people want from life? Using analysis of family experiences and life histories, her argument respects the properties and powers of both and presents the ‘internal conversation’ as the site of their interplay. In unpacking what ‘social conditioning’ means, Archer demonstrates the usefulness of ‘relational realism’. She advances a new theory of relational socialization, appropriate to the ‘mixed messages’ conveyed in families that are rarely normatively consensual and thus cannot provide clear guidelines for action. Life histories are analysed to explain the making and breaking of different modes of reflexivity. Different modalities have been dominant from early societies to the present and the author argues that modernity is slowly ceding place to a ‘morphogenetic society’ as meta-reflexivity now begins to predominate, at least amongst educated young people.

Enduring Injustice Jeff Spinner-Halev

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Description

jeff spinner-halev

Enduring Injustice

Governments today often apologize for past injustices and scholars increasingly debate the issue, with many calling for apologies and reparations. Others suggest that what matters are victims of injustice today, not injustices in the past. Spinner-Halev argues that the problem facing some peoples is not just the injustice of the past, but that they still suffer from injustice today. They experience what he calls enduring injustices, and it is likely that these will persist without action to address them. The history of these injustices matters, not as a way to assign responsibility or because we need to remember more, but in order to understand the nature of the injustice and to help us think of possible ways to overcome it. Suggesting that enduring injustices fall outside the framework of liberal theory, SpinnerHalev spells out the implications of arguments for conceptions of liberal justice and progress, reparations, apologies, state legitimacy and post-nationalism.

Key Features • Topical subject – how we should deal with injustices faced in the past by oppressed peoples • Covers slavery and the plight of indigenous peoples • The author is an eminent philosopher and political theorist and this book contributes to developing liberal theory

Contents

1. Radical injustice; 2. Which injustices? What groups?; 3. Enduring injustice; 4. Apology and acknowledgement; 5. Legitimacy and the cast of history; 6. Elusive justice; 7. A chastened liberalism.

Rethinking the Republic of Letters in the Seventeenth Century

I N

Republic of Women recaptures a lost chapter in the narrative of intellectual history. It tells the story of a transnational network of female scholars who were active members of the seventeenth-century republic of letters and demonstrates that this intellectual commonwealth was a much more eclectic and diverse assemblage than has been assumed.

Republic of Women These seven scholars – Anna Maria van Schurman, Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, Marie Rethinking the Republic of Letters in the Seventeenth Century de Gournay, Marie du Moulin, Dorothy Moore, Bathsua Makin and Katherine Jones, Lady Ranelagh – were philosophers, schoolteachers, reformers and mathematicians. They hailed c a rol pa l from England, Ireland, Germany, France and The Netherlands. And together with their male colleagues – men like Descartes, Huygens, Hartlib and Montaigne – they represented the spectrum of contemporary approaches to science, faith, politics and the advancement of learning. Carol Pal uses their collective biography to reconfigure the intellectual biography of early modern Europe, offering a new, expanded analysis of the seventeenth-century community of ideas.

Key Features • A highly original analysis of a lost chapter in the narrative of intellectual history • Expands the depth and breadth of scholarship in women’s history • A new methodological approach bridging histories of science, philosophy, art, medicine and the book

Civil War in Europe, 1905–1949 Stanley G. Payne

University of Wisconsin, Madison

Description This is the first account in any language of the civil wars in Europe during the era of the world wars, from 1905 to 1949. It treats the initial confrontations in the decade before World War I, the confusing concept of ‘European civil war,’ the impact of the world wars, the relation between revolution and civil war and all the individual cases of civil war, with special attention to Russia and Spain. The civil wars of this era are compared and contrasted with earlier internal conflicts, with particular attention to the factors that made this era a time of unusually violent domestic contests, as well as those that brought it to an end.

The major political, ideological and social influences are all treated, with a special focus on violence against civilians.

Key Features • First history in one volume of all the European civil wars of the first half of the twentieth century • An explanation of civil war within the setting of the world wars and the relation between the two • First comparative treatment of the character and extent of repression and violence against civilians in these conflicts

The Eurocentric Conception of World Politics

John M. hobson

Western International Theory, 1760–2010

John M. Hobson University of Sheffield

Description John Hobson claims that throughout its history most international theory has been embedded within various forms of Eurocentrism. Rather than producing value-free and universalist theories of inter-state relations, international theory instead provides provincial analyses that celebrate and defend Western civilization as the subject of, and ideal normative referent in, world politics. Hobson also provides a sympathetic critique of Western International Theory, 1760–2010 Edward Said’s conceptions of Eurocentrism and Orientalism, revealing how Eurocentrism takes different forms, which can be imperialist or anti-imperialist, and showing how these have played out in international theory since 1760. The book thus speaks to scholars of international relations and also to all those interested in understanding Eurocentrism in the disciplines of political science/political theory, political economy/international political economy, geography, cultural and literary studies, sociology and, not least, anthropology.

The EurocEntric concEption of World politics

Key Features • Provides a thorough history of the development of ideas in international relations over 250 years • A provocative argument that ideas in international relations are not objective and scientific, but assume the superiority of Western civilization • Contributes to debates about Edward Said’s views on Orientalism across the humanities and social sciences

The Future of Europe Towards a Two-Speed EU?

Jean-Claude Piris Description The European Union is in crisis. Public unease with the project, Euro problems and dysfunctional institutions give rise to the real danger that the European Union will become increasing irrelevant just as its member states face more and more challenges of a globalised world. Jean-Claude Piris, a leading figure in the conception and drafting of the EU’s legal structures, tackles the issues head on with a sense of urgency and with candour. The book works through the options available in light of the economic and political climate, assessing their effectiveness. By so doing, the author reaches the (for some) radical conclusion that the solution is to permit ‘two-speed’ development: allowing an inner core to move towards closer economic and political union, which will protect the Union as a whole.

Compelling, critical and current, this book is essential reading for all those interested in the future of Europe.

Key Features • Candid, current and critical assessment of where Europe is and where it needs to go • Author’s standing as key figure central to all recent EU developments ensures unique insight • Pragmatic, problem-solving approach makes this essential reading for not just specialists but all those interested in the future of the EU

Contents

Introduction; 1. The continuing need for a strong EU in the foreseeable future; 2. An assessment of the present situation of the EU; 3. First option: substantially revising the EU treaties; 4. Second option: continuing on the present path while developing further closer cooperation; 5. Third option: politically progressing towards a two-speed Europe; 6. Fourth option: legally building a two-speed Europe; Conclusion.

Emotions in Finance Booms, Busts and Uncertainty Second edition

Jocelyn Pixley

Macquarie University, Sydney

Description Money is a promise with future benefits or dangers that can never, because unknowable, be calculated. The financial sector is driven to beat this uncertainty by speculating on whether prices will rise or fall. No matter how often the folly of this behaviour is demonstrated through crisis after crisis, this attempt to defeat uncertainty persists. Yet uncertainty is unavoidable. Squeezed in one place, it emerges in another. Based on extensive interviews with leading actors in the financial markets, this book argues that the only way to face uncertainty is with emotions and values. It presents an original explanation of how booms and busts arise from internal disputes over trust between financial corporations. Just as the first edition warned prophetically of the dangers of excessive faith in the rationality of financial market behaviour, this new edition provides a sociological explanation of how this contributed to the recent financial crisis.

Key Features • Provides readers with a measured understanding of the impersonal but unfortunately untrustworthy nature of today’s financial institutions • Presents a detailed sociological explanation of the factors that contributed to the recent financial crisis • Based on interviews with leading figures in the financial world

Contents

1. Modern money, modern conflicts; 2. Corporate suspicion in the kingdom of rationality; 3. Financial press as trust agencies; 4. Required distrust and the onus of a burden; 5. Managing credibility in central banks; 6. Hierarchies of distrust from trust to bust; 7. Overwhelmed by numbers; 8. The time-utopia in finance.

The Reality of Social Construction

Dave elDer-vass

The reality of social Construction

Dave Elder-Vass

Loughborough University

Description ‘Social construction’ is a central metaphor in contemporary social science, yet it is used and understood in widely divergent and indeed conflicting ways by different thinkers.

Most commonly, it is seen as radically opposed to realist social theory. Dave Elder-Vass argues that social scientists should be both realists and social constructionists and that coherent versions of these ways of thinking are entirely compatible with each other. This book seeks to transform prevailing understandings of the relationship between realism and constructionism. It offers a thorough ontological analysis of the phenomena of language, discourse, culture and knowledge, and shows how this justifies a realist version of social constructionism. In doing so, however, it also develops an analysis of these phenomena that is significant in its own right.

Key Features • An original contribution to a fundamental debate in social science: the relationship between realism and social constructionism • Covers all the main aspects of the subject, including detailed analysis of the causal effects of language, culture and knowledge • A significant contribution to the philosophy of social science as well as social theory

Contents

The Rationalization of Miracles A New Institutional Environment

Paolo Parigi

Stanford University, California

31

THE RATIONALIZATION OF MIRACLES HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CREATED MODERN SAINTHOOD

Description During the Counter-Reformation in southern Europe, Catholic Church officials developed rules to legitimize miracles performed by candidates to sainthood. The Rationalization of Miracles uncovers a tacit understanding between central religious officials and local religious activists. Each group had a vested interest in declaring miracles: Catholic Church leaders sought legitimacy in the wake of the crisis of faith created by the Protestant PAOL O PA R IG I Schism and religious acolytes needed Church approval to secure a flow of resources to their movements. The Church’s new procedure of deeming miracles ‘true’ when there were witnesses of different statuses and the acts occurred in the presence of a candidate’s acolyte served the needs of both parties. And by developing rules and procedures for evaluating miracles, the Church rationalized the magic at the root of the miracles, thereby propelling the institution out of a period of institutional, political and social uncertainty and forming the basis of modern sainthood.

Key Features • Unique data extracted from the Vatican archives • Novel theoretical argument that sees the interaction between an organization and a social movement as a commitment instead of a conflict • The use of the tools of network analysis to analyze historical evidence

Contents

1. The congregatio sacrorum rituum; 2. The living saint; 3. The acolytes; 4. The devil’s advocate and the doctor; 5. Manufacturing true miracles.

A New Anthropology of Islam John R. Bowen

Washington University, St Louis

Description In this powerful but accessible new study John Bowen draws on a full range of work in social anthropology to present Islam in ways that emphasise its constitutive practices, from praying and learning to judging and political organising. Starting at the heart of Islam – revelation and learning in Arabic lands – Bowen shows how Muslims have adapted Islamic texts and traditions to ideas and conditions in the societies in which they live. Returning to key case studies in Indonesia, Africa, Pakistan and Western Europe to explore each major domain of Islamic religious and social life, Bowen also considers the theoretical advances in social anthropology that have come out of the study of Islam. A New Anthropology of Islam is essential reading for all those interested in the study of Islam and for those following new developments in the discipline of anthropology.

Key Features • Uses examples from around the world to show how Muslims work from a shared tradition and adapt to local ideas and conditions • Sets out the key practices that make up Islam in a highly accessible way to deepen readers’ understanding • Utilises the latest and most sophisticated work in social anthropology

Contents

1. How to think about religions – Islam, for example; 2. Learning; 3. Perfecting piety through worship; 4. Reshaping sacrifice;

India’s Late, Late Industrial Revolution

Democratizing Entrepreneurship

INDUS TRIAL REVOLUT ION

Sumit K. Majumdar University of Texas, Dallas

Democratizing Entrepreneurship

Description There is a paradox at the heart of the Indian economy. Indian businessmen and traders are highly industrious and ingenious people, yet for many years Indian industry was sluggish and slow to develop. One of the major factors in this sluggish development was the command and control regime known as the License Raj. This regime has gradually been removed and, after two decades of reform, India is now awakening from its slumber and is experiencing a late, late industrial revolution. This important new book catalogues and explains this revolution through a combination of rigorous analysis and entertaining anecdotes about India’s entrepreneurs, Indian firms’ strategies and the changing role of government in Indian industry. This analysis shows that there is a strong case for a manufacturing focus so that India can replicate the success stories of Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea and China.

Key Features • Provides an exhaustive survey of India’s industrialization, from ancient times to the present • Explains India’s current growth in the context of the industrial revolutions of Europe and North America, and the later industrialization experiences of Asia • Shows how India’s industrialization is being driven by autonomous entrepreneurship, and contrasts it with the past when the government played the most important role

Epistemic Game Theory Andrés Perea

Universiteit Maastricht, Netherlands

Description In everyday life we must often reach decisions while knowing that the outcome will not only depend on our own choice, but also on the choices of others. These situations are the focus of epistemic game theory. Unlike classical game theory, it explores how people may reason about their opponents before they make their final choice in a game. Packed with examples and practical problems based on stories from everyday life, this is the first textbook to explain the principles of epistemic game theory. Each chapter is dedicated to one particular, natural way of reasoning. The book then shows how each of these ways of reasoning will affect the final choices that can rationally be made and how these choices can be found by iterative procedures. Moreover, it does so in a way that uses elementary mathematics and does not presuppose any previous knowledge of game theory.

Key Features • The first textbook to explain the principles of epistemic game theory for an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate audience • Uses many interesting examples and exercises to show how epistemic game theory can be applied to choices in everyday life • Written in a non-technical way that presupposes no previous knowledge of game theory

Mary S. Morgan

During the last two centuries, the way economic science is done has changed radically: it has become a social science based on mathematical models in place of words. This book describes and analyses that change – both historically and philosophically – using a series of case studies to illuminate the nature and the implications of these changes. In format, it offers a tourist guide to economics by focusing chapters on specific models, explaining how economists create them and how they reason with them. It is not a technical book; it is written for the intelligent person who wants to understand how economics works from the inside out. This book will be of interest to economists and science studies scholars (historians, sociologists and philosophers of science). But it also aims at a wider readership in the public intellectual sphere, building on the current interest in all things economic, and in the recent failure of the so-called economic model, which has shaped our beliefs and the world we live in.

Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Holland

Hans Berends

Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Holland

and Hans van der Bij

Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands

Description This concise introduction to the methodology of problem solving in organizations is an indispensable guide to the design and execution of practical business improvement projects in real organizational settings. The methodology is design-oriented and theoryinformed. It encourages students to use the theory gained in their disciplinary courses by showing them how to do so in a fuzzy, ambiguous and politically charged, real-life organizational context. The book provides an in-depth discussion of the various aspects and steps of the process of business and organizational problem-solving. Rather than presenting the methodology as a recipe to be followed, the authors demonstrate how to adapt the approach to specific situations and to be flexible in scheduling the work at the various steps in the process. It will be indispensable to MBA and other students who venture outside the university walls to do reallife fieldwork.

Key Features • Encourages readers to use the theory gained in their disciplinary courses by showing them how to problem solve in fuzzy, ambiguous and politically charged, real-life organizational contexts • Provides an in-depth explanation of the various aspects of organizational problem-solving, showing how to adapt the approach to specific situations and how to be flexible in scheduling the work • Suitable for readers with a wide range of learning objectives, including undergraduates and graduates studying business and management, MBA students and professionals working in organizations

Pragmatic Strategy Eastern Wisdom, Global Success

Ikujiro Nonaka

Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo

and Zhichang Zhu University of Hull

Description Pragmatism is enjoying a renaissance in management studies and the social sciences. Once written off as amoral, relativist and opposed to the ideals of Truth, Reason and Progress, it is now regaining influence in public policy, international relations and business strategy. But what can pragmatism teach us about strategy? How can pragmatic strategies help businesses to succeed?

This innovative book presents a pragmatic framework for shaping and solving strategic problems in a practical, creative, ethical and finely balanced manner. To achieve this, the authors draw from Confucian teaching, American pragmatism and Aristotelian practical wisdom, as well as business cases across industries and nations, particularly from emerging economies. With significant theoretical depth, direct practical implication and profound cultural sensitivity, the book is useful for executive managers, public administrators, strategy researchers and advanced students in the search for pragmatic strategies in an interconnected, fast-moving world.

Key Features • Shows how businesses can succeed using pragmatic strategies • Draws on pragmatic traditions of both Eastern and Western thinkers • Features many case studies and examples of pragmatic strategies at work

Cultural Foundations of Learning East and West

CULTURAL FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING EAST AND WEST

Jin Li

Brown University, Rhode Island

Description Western and East Asian people hold fundamentally different beliefs about learning that influence how they approach child rearing and education. Reviewing decades of research, Dr Jin Li presents an important conceptual distinction between the Western mind model and the East Asian virtue model of learning. The former aims to cultivate the mind to understand the world, whereas the latter prioritizes the self to be perfected morally and socially. Tracing the cultural origins of the two large intellectual traditions, Li details how each model manifests itself in the psychology of the learning process, learning affect, regard of one’s learning peers, expression of what one knows and parents’ guiding efforts. Despite today’s accelerated cultural exchange, these learning models do not diminish but endure.

Key Features • Traces the cultural origins of the two large intellectual traditions • Up-to-date comparison of two distinct learning cultures

Seven Powerful ideas That influence the Way We Think

Description Do you know what economists mean when they refer to you as a ‘rational agent’? Or why a psychologist might label your idea a ‘creative insight’? Or how a philosopher could be logical but also passionate in persuading you to obey ‘moral imperatives’? Or why scientists disagree about the outcomes of experiments comparing drug treatments and disease risk factors? After reading this book, you will know how the best and brightest thinkers judge the ways we decide, argue, solve problems and tell right from wrong. But you will also understand why, when we don’t meet these standards, it is not always a bad thing. The answers are rooted in the way the human brain has been wired over evolutionary time to make us kinder and more generous than economists think we ought to be, and more resistant to change and persuasion than scientists and scholars think we ought to be.

d en iSe C um m i nS

Key Features • Evaluates the methods used to make decisions, solve problems and tell right from wrong • Accessible to the general reader and useful for undergraduates in introductory seminars on thinking and deciding • Argues that our brains have evolved to make us more generous than economists think we ought to be, and more resistant to change than scientists think is good for us

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Rational choice: choosing what is most likely to give you what you want; 3. Game theory: when you’re not the only one choosing; 4. Moral decision-making: how we tell right from wrong;

A Philosophical Guide to Chance Physical Probability

Toby Handfield

Monash University, Victoria Toby Handfield

Description

A Philosophical Guide to It is a commonplace that scientific inquiry makes extensive use of probabilities, many of which seem to be objective chances, describing features of reality that are independent of our minds. Such chances appear to have a number of paradoxical or puzzling features: they appear to be mind-independent facts, but they are intimately connected with rational psychology; they display a temporal asymmetry, but they are supposed to be grounded in physical laws that are time-symmetric; and chances are used to explain and predict frequencies of events, although they cannot be reduced to those frequencies. This book offers an accessible and non-technical introduction to these and other puzzles. Toby Handfield engages with traditional metaphysics and philosophy of science, drawing upon recent work in the foundations of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics to provide a novel account of objective probability that is empirically informed without requiring specialist scientific knowledge.

In recent decades, many philosophers have claimed that unless certain conditions are met, we should resent those who have wronged us personally and that criminal offenders deserve to be punished. Conversely, Margaret Holmgren posits that we should forgive those who have ill-treated us, but only after working through a process of addressing the wrong.

University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Description Cognitive science is a cross-disciplinary enterprise devoted to understanding the nature of the mind. In recent years, investigators in philosophy, psychology, the neurosciences, artificial intelligence, and a host of other disciplines have come to appreciate how much they can learn from one another about the various dimensions of cognition. The result has been the emergence of one of the most exciting and fruitful areas of inter-disciplinary research in the history of science. This volume of original essays surveys foundational, theoretical, and philosophical issues across the discipline, and introduces the foundations of cognitive science, the principal areas of research, and the major research programs. With a focus on broad philosophical themes rather than detailed technical issues, the volume will be valuable not only to cognitive scientists and philosophers of cognitive science, but also to those in other disciplines looking for an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the field.

Key Features • Technical jargon is avoided as far as possible and no significant background knowledge of the field is assumed • Includes supporting material, such as annotated chapter-specific further reading sections and an extensive glossary • Concise, authoritative and up-to-date coverage of a rapidly developing and expanding field

Shrinking Distance, Expanding Obligations

Nicole Hassoun

nicole hassoun

Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania

Description The face of the world is changing. The past century has seen the incredible growth of international institutions. How does the fact that the world is becoming more interconnected change institutions’ duties to people beyond borders? Does globalization alone engender any ethical obligations? In Globalization and Global Justice, Nicole Hassoun addresses these questions and advances a new argument for the conclusion that there are significant obligations to the global poor. First, she argues that there are many coercive international institutions and that these institutions must provide the means for their subjects to avoid severe poverty. Hassoun then considers the case for aid and trade, and concludes with a new proposal for fair trade in pharmaceutical and biotechnology. Globalization and Global Justice will appeal to readers in philosophy, politics, economics and public policy.

Key Features • Advances a new proposal for fair trade in pharmaceutical and biotechnology • For readers interested in how empirical evidence should inform political philosophy and theory • Provides a middle ground between cosmopolitan and statist views in the philosophical literature

Contents

Part I: Introduction: globalization and global justice; 1. The human rights argument; 2. The coercive global institutional system; 3. Legitimacy and global justice; Part II: Introduction to Part II: seeing the water for the sea;

The World-Time Parallel Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics

A. A. Rini

Massey University, Palmerston North

and M. J. Cresswell

Victoria University of Wellington

Description Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn’t happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously.

Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an easy step-by-step manner, the logical structure of temporal and modal discourse, and show that every temporal construction has an exact parallel that requires a language that can refer to worlds, and vice versa. They make precise, in a way which can be articulated and tested, the claim that the parallel is at work behind even ordinary talk about time and modality. The book gives metaphysicians a sturdy framework for the investigation of time and modality – one that does not presuppose any particular metaphysical view.

Key Features • First ever book-length study of the parallel • Establishes the importance and use of logic in understanding what is at stake in the metaphysics of time and modality • Starts at the beginning, and is essentially self-contained

Objecting to God Colin Howson

University of Toronto

Description The growth of science and a correspondingly scientific way of looking at evidence have for the last three centuries slowly been gaining ground over religious explanations of the cosmos and mankind’s place in it. However, not only is secularism now under renewed attack from religious fundamentalism, but it has also been widely claimed that the scientific evidence itself points strongly to a universe deliberately fine-tuned for life to evolve in it.

In addition, certain aspects of human life, like consciousness and the ability to recognise the existence of universal moral standards, seem completely resistant to evolutionary explanation. In this book Colin Howson analyses in detail the evidence which is claimed to support belief in God’s existence and argues that the claim is not well-founded. Moreover, there is very compelling evidence that an all-powerful, all-knowing God not only does not exist but cannot exist, a conclusion both surprising and provocative.

Key Features • Develops a logical framework for discussing how evidence in general bears on theories • Indicates that the standard theistic notion of God is inconsistent • Full look at the evidence supporting the existence of God and the problems inherent with it

Contents

Preface; 1. The trouble with God; 2. God unlimited; 3. How to reason if you must;

4. The well-tempered universe; 5. What does it all mean?; 6. Moral equilibrium; 7. What is life without thee?; 8. It necessarily ain’t so.

After War Ends A Philosophical Perspective

Larry May

Vanderbilt University, Tennessee

Description There is extensive discussion in current Just War literature about the normative principles which should govern the initiation of war (jus ad bellum) and also the conduct of war (jus in bello), but this is the first book to treat the important and difficult issue of justice after the end of war. Larry May examines the normative principles which should govern post-war practices such as reparations, restitution, reconciliation, retribution, rebuilding, proportionality and the Responsibility to Protect. He discusses the emerging international law literature on transitional justice and the problem of moving from a position of war and possible mass atrocity to a position of peace and reconciliation. He questions the Just War tradition, arguing that contingent pacifism is most in keeping with normative principles after war ends. His discussion is richly illustrated with contemporary examples and will be of interest to students of political and legal philosophy, law and military studies.

Key Features • Treats important topics such as the relationship between reparations and reconciliation • Draws examples from the emerging field of the responsibility to protect • Combines discussion of the history of Just War tradition with contemporary examples from transitional justice, such as the Darfur situation

Contents

1. Introduction: normative principles of jus post bellum; Part I. Retribution: 2. Grotius, sovereignty, and the indictment of Al Bashir; 3. Transitional justice and the Just War tradition; 4. War crimes trials during and after war;

The Ethics of Preventive War

The Ethics of

Edited by Deen Chatterjee University of Utah

Description In this book, eleven leading theorists debate the normative challenges of preventive war through the lens of important public and political issues of war and peace in the twenty-first century. Their discussion covers complex and topical subjects including terrorism, the ‘Bush doctrine’ and the invasion of Iraq, Iran’s nuclear capabilities, superpower unilateralism and international war tribunals. They examine the moral conundrum of preventive intervention and emphasize the need for a stronger and more effective international legal and political order and a corresponding re-evaluation of the normative status of international law.

Together their essays form a challenging and timely volume that will be of interest to scholars in ethics and political philosophy, political theory, international relations, international law and peace studies and to general readers interested in the broader issues of peace and justice in the new world order.

the themes of

Description

Quine’s Philosophy

Willard Van Orman Quine’s work revolutionized the fields of epistemology, semantics and ontology. At the heart of his philosophy are several interconnected doctrines: his rejection of conventionalism and of the linguistic doctrine of logical and mathematical truth, his rejection of the analytic/synthetic distinction, his thesis of the indeterminacy of translation and his thesis of the inscrutability of reference. In this book Edward Becker sets out to Edward Becker interpret and explain these doctrines. He offers detailed analyses of the relevant texts, discusses Quine’s views on meaning, reference and knowledge, and shows how Quine’s views developed over the years. He also proposes a new version of the linguistic doctrine of logical truth, and a new way of rehabilitating analyticity. His rich exploration of Quine’s thought will interest all those seeking to understand and evaluate the work of one of the most important philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century.

Key Features • Proposes a new version of the linguistic doctrine of logical truth and a new account of analyticity • Shows how Quine’s views developed over the years • The book presents an authentic study, as the author discussed early drafts of the work with Quine himself

An Introduction to Medieval Theology

MeDIe vA l TheOl Ogy

Rik van Nieuwenhove

Rik Van Nieuwenhove

Mary Immaculate College, Limerick

Description Medieval theology, in all its diversity, was radically theo-centric, Trinitarian, Scriptural and sacramental. It also operated with a profound view of human understanding (in terms of intellectus rather than mere ratio). In a post-modern climate, in which the modern views on ‘autonomous reason’ are increasingly being questioned, it may prove fruitful to re-engage with pre-modern thinkers who, obviously, did not share our modern and post-modern presuppositions. Their different perspective does not antiquate their thought, as some of the ‘cultured despisers’ of medieval thought might imagine. On the contrary, rather than rendering their views obsolete it makes them profoundly challenging and enriching for theology today. This book is more than a survey of key medieval thinkers (from Augustine to the late-medieval period); it is an invitation to think along with major theologians and explore how their thought can deeply challenge some of today’s modern and post-modern key assumptions.

Key Features • Challenges some of the key presuppositions of today’s modern and postmodern theology • The reader is invited to think along with medieval authors and their radical theo-centric perspective • Written in an accessible style, with brief descriptions of the historical context of the authors that are being discussed

Description Noam Chomsky is one of the most influential thinkers of our time, yet his views are often misunderstood. In this previously unpublished series of interviews, Chomsky discusses his iconoclastic and important ideas concerning language, human nature and politics. In dialogue with James McGilvray, Professor of Philosophy at McGill University, Chomsky takes up a wide variety of topics – the nature of language, the philosophies of language and mind, morality and universality, science and common sense, and the evolution of language.

McGilvray’s extensive commentary helps make this incisive set of interviews accessible to a variety of readers. The volume is essential reading for those involved in the study of language and mind, as well as anyone with an interest in Chomsky’s ideas.

How Language Began Gesture and Speech in Human Evolution

David McNeill

How Language Began

University of Chicago

Gesture and Speech in Human Evolution

Description Human language is not the same as human speech. We use gestures and signs to communicate alongside, or instead of, speaking. Yet gestures and speech are processed in the same areas of the human brain, and the study of how both have evolved is central to research on the origins of human communication. Written by one of the pioneers of the field, this is the first book to explain how speech and gesture evolved together into a system that all humans possess. Nearly all theorizing about the origins of language either ignores gesture, views it as an add-on or supposes that language began in gesture and was later replaced by speech. David McNeill challenges the popular ‘gesture-first’ theory that language first emerged in a gesture-only form and proposes a groundbreaking theory of the evolution of language which explains how speech and gesture became unified.

Key Features • Introduces a groundbreaking theory of how language began • Critically examines a wide range of accounts, from cognitive science, linguistics, neuroscience and the psychology of language • Complete with 50 illustrations depicting gestures and signs

Contents

1. Introduction – gesture and the origin of language; 2. What evolved (in part) – the Growth Point; 3. How it evolved (in part) – Mead’s Loop; 4. Effects of Mead’s Loop; 5. Ontogenesis in evolution – evolution in ontogenesis; 6. Alternatives, their limits, and the science base of the Growth Point.

Description Russia’s size, the diversity of its peoples and its unique geographical position straddling East and West have created a culture that is both inward and outward looking. Its history reflects the tension between very different approaches to what culture can and should be, and this tension shapes the vibrancy of its arts today. The highly successful first edition of Rzhevsky’s Companion has been updated to include post-Soviet trends and new developments in the twenty-first century. It brings together leading authorities writing on Russian cultural identity, its Western and Asian connections, popular culture and the unique Russian contributions to the arts. Each of the eleven chapters has been revised or entirely rewritten to take account of current cultural conditions and the further reading brought up to date. The book reveals, for students, academic researchers and all those interested in Russia, the dilemmas, strengths and complexities of the Russian cultural experience.

This volume will help the reader understand the continuities and fissures within Indian culture and some of the conflicts arising from them. Throughout, what comes to the fore is the extraordinary richness and diversity of modern Indian culture.

The Cambridge Introduction to Byron Richard Lansdown

James Cook University, North Queensland

Description Author of the most influential long poem of its era (Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage) and the funniest long poem in European literature (Don Juan), Lord Byron was also the literary superstar of Romanticism, whose effect on nineteenth-century writers, artists, musicians and politicians – but also everyday readers – was second to none. His poems seduced and scandalized readers, and his life and legend were correspondingly magnetic, given added force by his early death in the Greek War of Independence. This introduction compresses his extraordinary life to manageable proportions and gives readers a firm set of contexts in the politics, warfare, and Romantic ideology of Byron’s era. It offers a guide to the main themes in his wide-ranging oeuvre, from the early poems that made him famous (and infamous) overnight, to his narrative tales, dramas and the comic epic left incomplete at his death.

Key Features • A clear, jargon-free and comprehensible survey of a canonical British author • Explains key historical events and cultural contexts for his work • Offers close readings of his key works including Don Juan

Contents

Preface; 1. Life; 2. Context; 3. The letters and journals; 4. The Poet as pilgrim; 5. The Orient and the outcast;

The Cambridge Companion to European Novelists

Edited by Michael Bell University of Warwick

Description A lively and comprehensive account of the whole tradition of European fiction for students and teachers of comparative literature, this volume covers twenty-five of the most significant and influential novelists in Europe from Cervantes to Kundera. Each essay examines an author’s use of, and contributions to, the genre and also engages an important aspect of the form, such as its relation to romance or one of its sub-genres, such as the Bildungsroman.

Larger theoretical questions are introduced through specific readings of exemplary novels.

Taking a broad historical and geographic view, the essays keep in mind the role the novel itself has played in the development of European national identities and in cultural history over the last four centuries. While conveying essential introductory information for new readers, these authoritative essays reflect up-to-date scholarship and also review, and sometimes challenge, conventional accounts.

Andrew Shenton

Description Arvo Pärt is one of the most influential and widely performed contemporary composers.

Around 1976 he developed an innovative new compositional technique called ‘tintinnabuli’ (Latin for ‘sounding bells’), which has had an extraordinary degree of success. It is frequently performed around the world, has been used in award-winning films, and pieces such as Für Alina and Spiegel im Siegel have become standard repertoire.

Architecture

Description

In this book, a distinguished team of authors explores the way space, place, architecture of the SAcred and ritual interact to construct sacred experience in the historical cultures of the eastern SpAce, rituAl, And experience Mediterranean. Essays address fundamental issues and features that enable buildings to from clASSicAl Greece to ByzAntium perform as spiritually transformative spaces in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, early Christian and Byzantine civilizations. Collectively they demonstrate the multiple ways in which works of architecture and their settings were active agents in the ritual process. Architecture did not merely host events; rather, it magnified and elevated them, interacting with rituals facilitating the construction of ceremony. This book examines comparatively the ways in which ideas and situations generated by the interaction of place, built environment, ritual action and memory contributed to the cultural formulation of the sacred experience in different religious faiths.

Key Features • Not geographically or culturally limited, but instead addresses Greek, Roman, Early Christian, Jewish and Byzantine constructions of sacred space • The authors, chiefly archaeologists, are fundamentally grounded in the complex material remains; exploring constructions of sanctity from ‘the ground up’ • Several essays introduce previously unpublished material

Contents

Preface; 1. Material culture and ritual: state of the question; 2. Monumental steps and the shaping of ceremony; 3. Coming and going in the sanctuary of the great gods, Samothrace; 4. Gateways to the mysteries: the Roman propylon and in the City Eleusinion; 5. Architecture and ritual in Ilion, Athens, and Rome; 6. The same, but different: the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus through time;

7. Mapping sacrifice on bodies and spaces in ancient Judaism and early Christianity; 8. The ‘foundation deposit’ from the Dura Europos synagogue reconsidered; 9. Sight lines of sanctity at Late Antique Martyria; 10. The sanctity of place and the sanctity of buildings: Jerusalem vs. Constantinople; 11.

Evolution and Belief Confessions of a Religious Paleontologist

Robert J. Asher

University of Cambridge

Description Can a scientist believe in God? Does the ongoing debate between some evolutionists and evangelicals show that the two sides are irreconcilable? As a paleontologist and a religious believer, Robert Asher constantly confronts the perceived conflict between his occupation and his faith. In the course of his scientific work, he has found that no other and theory comes close to Darwin’s as an explanation for our world’s incredible biodiversity.

Confessions of a Religious Paleontologist Recounting discoveries in molecular biology, paleontology and development, Asher reveals the remarkable evidence in favor of Darwinian evolution. In outlining the scope of Darwin’s R oBERt J. a shER idea, Asher shows how evolution describes the cause of biodiversity, rather than the agency behind it. He draws a line between superstition and religion, recognizing that atheism is not the inevitable conclusion of evolutionary theory. By liberating evolution from its misappropriated religious implications, Asher promotes a balanced awareness that contributes to our understanding of biology and Earth history.

Evolution BEliEf

Key Features • Makes an important contribution to the ‘evolution vs. science’ debate, addressing the popular misunderstanding that a scientist cannot be religious • Explains how biologists reach their understanding of evolution using different bodies of evidence, making the topic accessible to anyone with an interest in the field • Argues that scientific inquiry is a subset of rationality, fostering a better appreciation of how it is possible to be rational without necessarily being scientific

From Biology to Computer Science

Terry BoSSomaier

Description An understanding of the senses – vision, hearing, touch, chemical and other non-human senses – is important not only for many fields of biology but also in applied areas such as human computer interaction, robotics and computer games. Using information theory as a unifying framework, this is a wide-ranging survey of sensory systems, covering all known senses. The book draws on three unifying principles to examine senses: the Nyquist sampling theorem; Shannon’s information theory; and the creation of different streams of information to subserve different tasks. This framework is used to discuss the fascinating role of sensory adaptation in the context of environment and lifestyle. Providing a fundamental grounding in sensory perception, the book then demonstrates how this knowledge can be applied to the design of human-computer interfaces and virtual environments. It is an ideal resource for both graduate and undergraduate students of biology, engineering (robotics) and computer science.

Key Features • Uses information theory as a unifying framework to provide a wide-ranging survey of sensory systems, covering all known senses • Separates function from biological detail, enabling a clear explanation of functionality of sensory components • Provides tools for measuring sensory performance, with chapters describing useful mathematical techniques, notably Fourier analysis, Shannon information theory and Nyquist sampling

Foundations of Space and Time Reflections on Quantum Gravity

Edited by Jeff Murugan University of Cape Town

Amanda Weltman University of Cape Town

and George F. R. Ellis University of Cape Town

Description After almost a century, the field of quantum gravity remains as difficult and inspiring as ever.

Today, it finds itself a field divided, with two major contenders dominating: string theory, the leading exemplification of the covariant quantization program; and loop quantum gravity, the canonical scheme based on Dirac’s constrained Hamiltonian quantization. However, there are now a number of other innovative schemes providing promising new avenues. Encapsulating the latest debates on this topic, this book details the different approaches to understanding the very nature of space and time. It brings together leading researchers in each of these approaches to quantum gravity to explore these competing possibilities in an open way. Its comprehensive coverage explores all the current approaches to solving the problem of quantum gravity, addressing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, to give researchers and graduate students an up-to-date view of the field.

Mathematics ALAn M.

Turing ‘An even-tempered, lovable character with an impish sense of humour and a modesty proof against all achievement.’

‘He thought so little of physical discomfort that he did not seem to apprehend in the least degree why we felt concerned about him, and refused all help.’

‘In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.’

So is described one of the greatest figures of the 20th century, yet someone who was barely known beyond mathematical corridors till the revelations in the 1970s. it was then that Alan Turing’s critical contributions to the breaking of the german Enigma code and the development of computer science, along with the circumstances of his suicide at the height of his powers, became widely known.

Description

From the rather odd, precocious, gauche boy through an adolescence in which his mathematical ability began to blossom, to the achievements of his maturity, the story of Turing’s life fascinates. in the years since his suicide, Turing’s reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have become better appreciated.

Relational Knowledge Discovery M. E. Müller

Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg

Description What is knowledge and how is it represented? This book focuses on the idea of formalising knowledge as relations, interpreting knowledge represented in databases or logic programs as relational data and discovering new knowledge by identifying hidden and defining new relations. After a brief introduction to representational issues, the author develops a relational language for abstract machine learning problems. He then uses this language to discuss traditional methods such as clustering and decision tree induction, before moving onto two previously underestimated topics that are just coming to the fore: rough set data analysis and inductive logic programming. Its clear and precise presentation is ideal for undergraduate computer science students. The book will also interest those who study artificial intelligence or machine learning at the graduate level. Exercises are provided and each concept is introduced using the same example domain, making it easier to compare the individual properties of different approaches.

Key Features • Material has been tried and tested in university courses by the author • Necessary theoretical background is provided • Exercises are interwoven throughout so readers can progress confidently through the book

MASTERING MATHEMATICAL FINANCE

Discrete Models of Financial Markets MAREK CAPINSKI EKKEHARD KOPP

University of Hull

Description This book explains in simple settings the fundamental ideas of financial market modelling and derivative pricing, using the no-arbitrage principle. Relatively elementary mathematics leads to powerful notions and techniques – such as viability, completeness, self-financing and replicating strategies, arbitrage and equivalent martingale measures – which are directly applicable in practice. The general methods are applied in detail to pricing and hedging European and American options within the Cox–Ross–Rubinstein (CRR) binomial tree model.

A simple approach to discrete interest rate models is included, which, though elementary, has some novel features. All proofs are written in a user-friendly manner, with each step carefully explained and following a natural flow of thought. In this way the student learns how to tackle new problems.

Key Features • Written specifically at the Master’s level by experienced lecturers, so readers can dive in directly • The mathematics is rigorous but also motivated, so readers see how to apply what they learn • Clear, concise and short, so readers can master the whole topic

Cambridge Companions The Cambridge Companion to War Writing Edited by Kate McLoughlin University of Glasgow

War writing is an ancient genre that continues to be of vital importance.

Times of crisis push literature to its limits, requiring writers to exploit their expressive resources to the maximum in response to extreme events. This Companion focuses on British and American war writing, from Beowulf and Shakespeare to bloggers on the ‘War on Terror’. Thirteen period-based chapters are complemented by five thematic chapters and two chapters charting influences. This uniquely wide range facilitates both local and comparative study. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and includes suggestions for further reading.

A chronology illustrates how key texts relate to major conflicts.

The Cambridge Companion to Beckett Edited by John Pilling University of Reading

The world fame of Samuel Beckett is due to a combination of high academic esteem and immense popularity.

An innovator in prose fiction to rival Joyce, his plays have been the most influential in modern theatre history. As an author in both English and French and a writer for the page and the stage, Beckett has been the focus for specialist treatment in each of his many guises, but there have been few attempts to provide a conspectus view. This book provides thirteen introductory essays on every aspect of Beckett’s work, some paying particular attention to his most famous plays (e.g. Waiting for Godot and Endgame) and his prose fictions (e.g. the ‘trilogy’ and Murphy). Other essays tackle his radio and television drama, his theatre directing and his poetry, followed by more general issues such as Beckett’s bilingualism and his relationship to the philosophers.

Reference material is provided at the front and back of the book.

‘An invaluable addition to Beckett criticism … an outstanding book, faultlessly edited and superbly presented …’.

This Companion has long been a standard introduction to the field.

Now fully updated and enhanced with four new chapters, it addresses the key themes being researched, taught and studied in modernism today. Its interdisciplinary approach is central to its success as it brings together readings of the many varieties of modernism. Chapters address the major literary genres, the intellectual, religious and political contexts, and parallel developments in film, painting and music. The catastrophe of the First World War, the emergence of feminism, the race for empire, the conflict among classes: the essays show how these events and circumstances shaped aesthetic and literary experiments. In doing so, they explain clearly both the precise formal innovations in language, image, scene and tone, and the broad historical conditions of a movement that aspired to transform culture. undergraduate students, graduate students Cambridge Companions to Literature

The Cambridge Companion to Feminist Literary Theory Edited by Ellen Rooney Brown University, Rhode Island

Feminism has dramatically influenced the way literary texts are read, taught and evaluated. Feminist literary theory has deliberately transgressed traditional boundaries between literature, philosophy and the social sciences in order to understand how gender has been constructed and represented through language. This lively and thought-provoking Companion presents a range of approaches to the field. Some of the essays demonstrate feminist critical principles at work in analysing texts, while others take a step back to trace the development of a particular feminist literary method. The essays draw on a range of primary material from the medieval period to postmodernism and from several countries, disciplines and genres. Each essay suggests further reading to explore this field further. This is the most accessible guide available both for students of literature new to this developing field, and for students

In recent years, the relations between science and religion have been the object of renewed attention.

Developments in physics, biology and the neurosciences have reinvigorated discussions about the nature of life and ultimate reality. At the same time, the growth of anti-evolutionary and intelligent design movements has led many to the view that science and religion are necessarily in conflict.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the relations between science and religion, with contributions from historians, philosophers, scientists and theologians. It explores the impact of religion on the origins and development of science, religious reactions to Darwinism, and the link between science and secularization.

It also offers in-depth discussions of contemporary issues, with perspectives from cosmology, evolutionary biology, psychology, and bioethics. The volume is rounded out with philosophical reflections on the connections between atheism and science, the nature of scientific and religious knowledge, and divine action and human freedom.

The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad Edited by Jonathan E. Brockopp Pennsylvania State University

As the Messenger of God, Muhammad stands at the heart of the Islamic religion, revered by Muslims throughout the world. The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad comprises a collection of essays by some of the most accomplished scholars in the field exploring the life and legacy of the Prophet. The book is divided into three sections, the first charting his biography and the milieu into which he was born, the revelation of the Qur’an, and his role within the early Muslim community.

The second part assesses his legacy as a law-maker, philosopher, and politician and, finally, in the third part, chapters examine how Muhammad has been remembered across history in biography, prose, poetry, and, most recently, in film and fiction. Essays are written to engage and inform students, teachers, and readers coming to the subject for the first time. They will come away with a deeper appreciation of the breadth of the Islamic tradition, of the centrality of the role of the Prophet in that tradition, and, indeed, of what it means to be a Muslim today. ‘… a genuine contribution to the vast field of study of Muhammad ... The chapter subjects are well-conceived and cover a broad and instructive terrain. The individual contributions represent the highest standards of research in the field … This felicitous combination of thoughtful conceptualization of salient topics and their proficient execution renders this a highly teachable book.’

The Cambridge Companion to Socrates Donald R. Morrison Rice University, Houston

Greek and Roman Philosophy

EDITED BY

DAVID SEDLEY

A collection of essays providing a comprehensive guide to Socrates, the most famous Greek philosopher.

Because Socrates himself wrote nothing, our evidence comes from the writings of his friends (above all Plato), his enemies, and later writers. Socrates is thus a literary figure as well as a historical person. Both aspects of Socrates’ legacy are covered in this volume. Socrates’ character is full of paradox, and so are his philosophical views. These paradoxes have led to deep differences in scholars’ interpretations of Socrates and his thought. Mirroring this wide range of thought about Socrates, this volume’s contributors are unusually diverse in their background and perspective. The essays in this volume were authored by classical philologists, philosophers and historians from Germany, Francophone Canada, Britain and the United States, and they represent a range of interpretive and philosophical traditions.

‘This volume not only offers a coherent introduction to different aspects of Socrates for beginners in the field of study but also serves scholars who are experts in the field by discussing problems in major areas of Socratic research. Every essay is accessible, well informed, detailed, learned, and systematic in its presentation. The collection is a major achievement and will be an excellent tool for research. It will be read with profit by anyone who is interested in one of the most inspiring and influential figures of antiquity.’

A final chapter looks forward to the philosophy of the Enlightenment. This will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in the philosophical thought of the early modern period.

‘The companion … does not only take the reader through the various philosophical schools, ranging from pre-Socratic to late roman philosophy, but also through their wider context, and it thus provides the reader with an account that is both comprehensive and thought-provoking … it certainly illustrates a wide range of fascinating answers. Moreover, it does so in such a lucid and accessible manner, that not only the university student but also the eager pupil would benefit from certain chapters … and his distinguished team of contributors should therefore be recommended on the marvellous way in which they once again facilitated the enlightenment initiated by the Greek and roman philosophers.’

The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Philosophy Edited by Donald Rutherford University of California, San Diego

The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Philosophy is a comprehensive introduction to the central topics and changing shape of philosophical inquiry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It explores one of the most innovative periods in the history of Western philosophy, extending from Montaigne, Bacon and Descartes through Hume and Kant. During this period, philosophers initiated and responded to major intellectual developments in natural science, religion, and politics, transforming in the process concepts and doctrines inherited from ancient and medieval philosophy.

In this Companion, leading specialists examine early modern treatments of the methodological and conceptual

The Cambridge Companion to Darwin Second edition Edited by Jonathan Hodge University of Leeds

and Gregory Radick University of Leeds

The naturalist and geologist Charles Darwin (1809–82) ranks as one of the most influential scientific thinkers of all time. In the nineteenth century his ideas about the history and diversity of life – including the evolutionary origin of humankind – contributed to major changes in the sciences, philosophy, social thought and religious belief. The Cambridge Companion to Darwin has established itself as an indispensable resource for anyone teaching or researching Darwin’s theories and their historical and philosophical interpretations. Its distinguished team of contributors examines Darwin’s main scientific ideas and their development; Darwin’s science in the context of its times; the influence of Darwinian thought in recent philosophical, social and religious debate; and the importance of Darwinian thought for the future of naturalist philosophy.

For this second edition, coverage has been expanded to include two new chapters: on Darwin, Hume and human nature, and on Darwin’s theories in the intellectual long run, from the preSocratics to the present.

Praise for the first edition: ‘… the contributions are largely drawn from excellent writers and are very accessible. It would be hard to imagine a much more effective or authoritative Companion to Darwin.’

Cambridge Concise Histories A Concise History of the Baltic States Andrejs Plakans Iowa State University

The Baltic region is frequently neglected in broader histories of Europe and its international significance can be obscured by separate treatments of the various Baltic states. With this wide-ranging survey, Andrejs Plakans presents the first integrated history of three Baltic peoples – Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians – and draws out the common threads to show how it has been shaped by their location in a strategically desirable corner of Europe. Subordinated in turn by Baltic German landholders, the Polish nobility and gentry, and then by Russian and Soviet administrators, the three nations have nevertheless kept their distinctive identities – significantly retaining three separate languages in an ethnically diverse region. The book traces the countries’ evolution from their ninthcentury tribal beginnings to their present status as three thriving and separate nation states, focusing particularly on the region’s complex twentiethcentury history, which culminated in the eventual re-establishment of national sovereignty after 1991.

‘A masterful survey of the history of the eastern Baltic littoral by one of the leading authorities in the field. Provides the most accessible account to date of the rise of modern nationhood and of the commonalities of fate that have bound the peoples of the region during the modern era. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding contemporary Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.’

A Concise History of Australia Third edition Stuart Macintyre University of Melbourne

Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how the search for binding traditions was long frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness, until it came to terms with its origins. This third edition of this acclaimed book recounts the key factors – social, economic and political – that have shaped modern-day Australia.

It covers the rise and fall of the Howard government, the 2007 election and the apology to the stolen generation. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future. ‘… an accessible, sensible, learned and digestible history of Australia. It is a triumph of Stuart Macintyre’s notable

A Concise History of Austria Steven Beller

For a small, prosperous country in the middle of Europe, modern Austria has a very large and complex history, extending far beyond its current borders.

Today’s Austrians have a problematic relationship with that history, whether with the multi-national history of the Habsburg Monarchy, or with the time between 1938 and 1945 when Austrians were Germans in Hitler’s Third Reich. Steven Beller’s gripping and comprehensive account traces the remarkable career of Austria through its many transformations, from German borderland, to dynastic enterprise, imperial house, Central European great power, failed Alpine republic, German province, and then successful Alpine republic, building up a picture of the layers of Austrian identity and heritage and their diverse sources. It is a story full of anomalies and ironies, a case study of the other side of European history, without the easy answers of more clearly national narratives, and hence far more relevant to today’s world.

‘Steven Beller’s history of Austria is not only concise – it is also incisive, witty and engaging … Both tough and fair, but never insipidly nostalgic … Beller succeeds in highlighting the country’s paradoxical and ambiguous role as both a foil to, and a distillation of, the broader patterns of European history.’

Cambridge Concise Histories A Concise History of Mexico Second edition Brian R. Hamnett University of Essex

The second edition of this study of Mexico includes two new features, an examination of cultural developments since Independence from Spain in 1821 and a discussion of contemporary issues up to the time of publication.

Several new plates with captions expand the thematic coverage in the book.

The updated edition examines the administration of Vicente Fox, who came to power with the elections of 2000. The new sections reinforce the importance of Mexico’s long and disparate history, from the Precolumbian era onwards, in shaping the country as it is today.

This Concise History looks at Mexico from political, economic and cultural perspectives, and tackles controversial themes such as the impact of the Spanish Conquest and the struggle to establish an independent Mexico. A broad range of readers interested in the modern-day Americas should find here a helpful introduction to this vibrant and dynamic North-American society. ‘ … the book … invites debate among scholars. General readers will find it a useful … introduction to Mexican history.’

and Hubert Zawadzki Abingdon School

The second edition of this guide to Poland has been updated to take account of the years from 1989–2005.

This period marked its liberation from the Soviet Union, the birth of Poland’s ‘Third Republic’ and, recently, its accession to the European Union in 2004. Poland’s history has been marked by its resilience. Once a dominant force in central and eastern Europe and home to a remarkable experiment in consensual politics, it was excised from the map by its neighbours in 1795. Resurrected in 1918, partitioned

www.cambridge.org/rights

afresh during the Second World War, it survived to become a satellite of the Soviet Union. Yet in the 1980s, it was Poland which blazed the trail in casting off communism, and was finally able to reassert its Christian heritage. With its updated bibliography and new chronology, the book is the ideal companion for all looking for a comprehensive survey of this fascinating country. ‘… the result is the best short guide to Polish history currently available in English.’

A Concise History of Modern India Second edition Barbara D. Metcalf University of California, Davis

and Thomas R. Metcalf University of California, Berkeley

In the second edition of this successful Concise History of Modern India, the authors explore India’s modern history afresh and update the events of the last decade. These include the takeover of Congress from the seemingly entrenched Hindu nationalist party in 2004, India’s huge advances in technology and the country’s new role as a major player in world affairs. From the days of the Mughals, through the British Empire, and into Independence, the country has been transformed by its institutional structures. It is these institutions which have helped bring about the social, cultural and economic changes that have taken place over the last half century and paved the way for the modern success story. Despite these advances, poverty, social inequality and religious division still fester. In response to these dilemmas, the book grapples with questions of caste and religious identity, and the nature of the Indian nation.

‘Lucid, comprehensive and up-todate, this book will surely establish itself as essential reading for all undergraduate and graduate courses on South Asian history.’

A Concise History of Russia Paul Bushkovitch Yale University, Connecticut

Accessible to students, tourists and general readers alike, this book provides a broad overview of Russian history since the ninth century. Paul Bushkovitch emphasizes the enormous changes in the understanding of Russian history resulting from the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, new material has come to light on the history of the Soviet era, providing new conceptions of Russia’s pre-revolutionary past. The book traces not only the political history of Russia, but also developments in its literature, art and science. Bushkovitch describes well-known cultural figures, such as Chekhov, Tolstoy and Mendeleev, in their institutional and historical contexts. Though the 1917 revolution, the resulting Soviet system and the Cold War were a crucial part of Russian and world history, Bushkovitch presents earlier developments as more than just a prelude to Bolshevik power.

‘For any student trying to get a grasp of the essentials of Russian history this book is the place to start. To cover everything from the origins of the Russian people to the collapse of the Soviet Union in one short book requires great skill, but Paul Bushkovitch is one of the leading experts on Russian history in the world and he manages this task with great insight and panache.’

Cambridge Introductions The Cambridge Introduction to Chekhov James N. Loehlin University of Texas, Austin

Chekhov is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential literary figures of modern times. Russia’s preeminent playwright, he played a significant role in revolutionizing the modern theatre. His impact on prose fiction writing is incalculable: he helped define the modern short story.

Beginning with an engaging account of Chekhov’s life and cultural context in nineteenth-century Russia, this book introduces the reader to this fascinating and complex personality. Unlike much criticism of Chekhov, it includes detailed discussions of both his fiction and his plays. The Introduction traces his concise, impressionistic prose style from early comic sketches to mature works such as ‘Ward No. 6’ and ‘In the Ravine’.

Examining Chekhov’s development as a dramatist, the book considers his one-act vaudevilles and early works, while providing a detailed, act-by-act analysis of the masterpieces on which his reputation rests: The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. undergraduate students, graduate students Cambridge Introductions to Literature

The Cambridge Introduction to Edward Said Conor McCarthy National University of Ireland, Maynooth

One of the most famous literary critics of the twentieth century, Edward Said’s work has been hugely influential far beyond academia. As a prominent advocate for the Palestinian cause and a noted music critic, Said redefined the role of the public intellectual. In his books, as scholarly as they are readable, he challenged conventional critical demarcations between disciplines. His major opus, Orientalism, is a key text in postcolonial studies that continues to influence as well as challenge scholars in the field. Conor McCarthy introduces the reader to Said’s major works and examines how his work and life were intertwined. He explains

recurring themes in Said’s writings on literature and empire, on intellectuals and literary theory, on music and on the Israel/Palestine conflict. This concise, informative and clearly written introduction for students beginning to study Said is ideally set up to explain the complexities of his work to new audiences. undergraduate students, graduate students Cambridge Introductions to Literature

Between the main chapters are longer readings of individual works, from Don Quixote to Midnight’s Children.

A glossary of key terms and a guide to further reading are included, making this an ideal accompaniment to introductory courses on the novel. undergraduate students, graduate students Cambridge Introductions to Literature

The literature of French-speaking countries forms a distinct body of work quite separate from literature written in France itself, offering a passionate creative engagement with their postcolonial cultures. This book provides an introduction to the literatures that have emerged in the French-speaking countries and regions of the world in recent decades, illustrating their astonishing breadth and diversity, and exploring their constant state of tension with the literature of France. The study

opens with a wide-ranging discussion of the idea of francophonie. Each chapter then provides readers with historical background to a particular region and identifies the key issues that have influenced the emergence of a literature in French, before going on to examine in detail a selection of the major writers.

Cambridge Introductions An Introduction to Ethics John Deigh University of Texas, Austin

This book examines the central questions of ethics through a study of theories of right and wrong that are found in the great ethical works of Western philosophy. It focuses on theories that continue to have a significant presence in the field.

The core chapters cover egoism, the eudaimonism of Plato and Aristotle, act and rule utilitarianism, modern natural law theory, Kant’s moral theory, and existentialist ethics. Readers will be introduced not only to the main ideas of each theory but to contemporary developments and defenses of those ideas. A final chapter takes up topics in meta-ethics and moral psychology.

The discussions throughout draw the reader into philosophical inquiry through argument and criticism that illuminate the profundity of the questions under examination. Students will find this book to be a very helpful guide to how philosophical inquiry is undertaken as well as to what the major theories in ethics hold.

‘This is a beautifully and elegantly written introduction to the fundamental questions of ethics. It is a comprehensive and accessible book that will be of interest to students and also to anyone reflecting about how to live a good and normatively defensible life. Highly recommended.’

and Ned Markosian Western Washington University

This book is an accessible introduction to the central themes of contemporary metaphysics. It carefully considers accounts of causation, freedom and determinism, laws of nature, personal identity, mental states, time, material objects, and properties, while inviting students to reflect on metaphysical problems. The philosophical questions discussed include: What makes it the case that one event causes another event? What are material objects? Given that material objects exist, do such

www.cambridge.org/rights

things as properties exist? What makes it the case that a person may exist at two different times? An Introduction to Metaphysics makes these tough questions tractable by presenting the features and flaws of current attempts to answer them. Intended primarily for students taking a first class in metaphysics, this lucid and well-written text would also provide an excellent introduction for anyone interested in knowing more about this important area of philosophy.

‘This textbook does remarkably well at combining breadth with depth, and accessibility with rigor. It covers every major issue debated in metaphysics today; it is clear and careful; it avoids taking sides. The writing style is decidedly engaging and at times amusing – if the book were not being so clear about such confusing matters, one would almost say that it is fun to read.’

An Introduction to Chinese Philosophy Karyn L. Lai University of New South Wales, Sydney

This comprehensive introductory textbook to early Chinese philosophy covers a range of philosophical traditions which arose during the Spring and Autumn (722–476 BCE) and Warring States (475–221 BCE) periods in China, including Confucianism, Mohism, Daoism, and Legalism.

It considers concepts, themes and argumentative methods of early Chinese philosophy and follows the development of some ideas in subsequent periods, including the introduction of Buddhism into China. The book examines key issues and debates in early Chinese philosophy, cross-influences between its traditions and interpretations by scholars up to the present day. The discussion draws upon both primary texts and secondary sources, and there are suggestions for further reading. This will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in the foundations of Chinese philosophy and its richness and continuing relevance.

‘The writing is clear and articulate, and the discussion, while focusing on philosophical ideas, is sensitive to textual compexities such as the authorship of different layers of a

text. The book should be a very useful textbook in any undergraduate course on Chinese philosophy.’

Providing a comprehensive introduction to political philosophy, this book combines discussion of historical and contemporary figures, together with numerous real-life examples. It ranges over an unusually broad range of topics in the field, including the just distribution of wealth, both within countries and globally; the nature and justification of political authority; the meaning and significance of freedom; arguments for and against democratic rule; the problem of war; and the grounds for toleration in public life.

It also offers an accessible, nontechnical discussion of perfectionism, utilitarianism, theories of the social contract, and of recently popular forms of critical theory. Throughout, the book challenges readers to think critically about political arguments and institutions that they might otherwise take for granted. It will be a provocative text for any student of philosophy or political science. undergraduate students, graduate students Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy
