Why it will sell • Presents previously unpublished or untranslated documentation to form an important contribution to documentary scholarship • Brings diverse analytical methods to bear on Ravel’s compositional practice, with a particular focus upon language and literature and the collaborative process

The Operas of Maurice Ravel Emily Kilpatrick Maurice Ravel’s operas L’Heure espagnole (1907/1911) and L’Enfant et les sortilèges (1919–25) are pivotal works in the composer’s relatively small œuvre. Emerging from periods shaped by very distinct musical concerns and historical circumstances, these two vastly different works nevertheless share qualities that reveal the heart of Ravel’s compositional aesthetic. In this comprehensive study, Emily Kilpatrick unites musical, literary, biographical and cultural perspectives to shed new light on Ravel’s operas. In documenting the operas’ history, setting them within the cultural canvas of their creation and pursuing diverse strands of analytical and thematic exploration, Kilpatrick reveals crucial aspects of the composer’s working life: his approach to creative collaboration, his responsiveness to cultural, aesthetic and musical debate, and the centrality of language and literature in his compositional practice. The first study of its kind, this book is an invaluable resource for students, specialists, opera-goers and devotees of French music.

Contents Preface; Part I. Making Operas: 1. Introduction: ‘a single act at the Opéra-Comique’; 2. Ravel’s hour; 3. The Child and the impresarios; Part II. Words and Music: 4.

why it will sell • Offers detailed musical analysis of selected works along with their historical, political and philosophical context • Examines original sketch material by the composer to provide unique insights into his compositional techniques

The anti-fascist cantata Il canto sospeso, the string quartet Fragmente – Stille, an Diotima and the ‘Tragedy of Listening’ Prometeo cemented Luigi Nono’s place in music history. In this study, Carola Nielinger-Vakil examines these major works in the context of Nono’s amalgamation of avant-garde composition with Communist political engagement. Part I discusses Il canto sospeso in the context of all of Nono’s anti-fascist pieces, from the unfinished Fučik project (1951) to Ricorda cosa ti hanno fatto in Auschwitz (1966). Nielinger-Vakil explores Nono’s position at the Darmstadt Music Courses, the evolution of his compositional technique, his penchant for music theatre and his use of spatial and electronic techniques to set the composer and his works against the diverging circumstances in Italy and Germany after 1945. Part II further examines these concerns and shows how they live on in Nono’s work after 1975, culminating in a thorough analysis of Prometeo.

Contents Preface and acknowledgements; Part I. Music and Memory: 1. Political and musical premises; 2. Il canto sospeso (1955–6); 3. Towards spatial composition; 4. Music to Die Ermittlung by Peter Weiss (1965); Part II. Music as Memory: 5. Towards other shores; 6. Fragmente – Stille, an Diotima (1979–80); 7. Prometeo. Tragedia dell’ascolto (1975–85).

Transformations of Musical Modernism Edited by Erling E. Guldbrandsen Universitetet i Oslo

and Julian Johnson Royal Holloway, University of London Profound transformations in the composition, performance and reception of modernist music have taken place in recent decades. This collection brings fresh perspectives to bear upon key questions surrounding the forms that musical modernism takes today, how modern music is performed and heard, and its relationship to earlier music. In sixteen chapters, leading figures in the field and emerging scholars examine modernist music from the inside, in terms of changing practices of composition, musical materials and overarching aesthetic principles, and from the outside, in terms of the changing contextual frameworks in which musical modernism has taken place and been understood. Shaped by a ‘rehearing’ of modernist music, the picture that emerges redraws the map of musical modernism as a whole and presents a full-scale re-evaluation of what the modernist movement has all been about.

The Image of the Artist in Archaic and Classical Greece Art, Poetry, and Subjectivity

Guy Hedreen Williams College, Massachusetts

January 2016 253 x 177 mm 408pp 65 b/w illus. 25 colour illus. 978-1-107-11825-6 Hardback £74.99

why it will sell • Proposes a new way of understanding pictorial style in Archaic and Early Classical Greek art as well as new interpretations of the poetry of Archilochos and Hipponax • Offers a new way of studying the relationship between poetry and pictorial art in ancient Greece

This book explores the persona of the artist in Archaic and Classical Greek art and literature. Guy Hedreen argues that artistic subjectivity, first expressed in Athenian vase-painting of the sixth century BCE and intensively explored by Euphronios, developed alongside a self-consciously constructed persona of the poet. He explains how poets like Archilochos and Hipponax identified with the wily Homeric character of Odysseus as a prototype of the successful narrator, and how the lame yet resourceful artist-god Hephaistos is emulated by Archaic vase-painters such as Kleitias. In lyric poetry and pictorial art, Hedreen traces a widespread conception of the artist or poet as socially marginal, sometimes physically imperfect, but rhetorically clever, technically peerless, and a master of fiction. Bringing together in a sustained analysis the roots of subjectivity across media, this book offers a new way of studying the relationship between poetry and art in ancient Greece.

Contents Introduction: ‘I am Odysseus’; 1. Smikros and Euphronios: pictorial alter ego; 2. Archilochos, the fictional creator-protagonist, and Odysseus; 3. Hipponax and his make-believe artists; 4. Hephaistos in epic: analog of Odysseus and antithesis to Thersites; 5. Pictorial subjectivity and the Shield of Achilles on the François vase; 6. Frontality, self-reference, and social hierarchy: three Archaic vase-paintings; 7. Writing and invention in the vase-painting of Euphronios and his circle; Epilogue: persuasion, deception, and artistry on a red-figure cup.

The Greeks inscribed their works of art and craft with labels identifying mythological or historical figures, bits of poetry, and claims of ownership. But no type of inscription is more hotly debated or more intriguing than the artist’s signature, which raises questions concerning the role and status of the artist and the work of art or craft itself. In this book, Jeffrey M. Hurwit surveys the phenomenon of artists’ signatures across the many genres of Greek art from the eighth to the first century BCE. Although the great majority of extant works lack signatures, the Greek artist nonetheless signed his products far more than any other artist of antiquity. Examining signatures on gems, coins, mosaics, wall-paintings, metalwork, vases, and sculptures, Hurwit argues that signatures help us assess the position of the Greek artist within his society as well as his conception of his own skill and originality.

Peter Boxall’s The Value of the Novel offers a reappraisal of the ethical, political and literary value of the novel as a genre at turning point in the history both of literature and of criticism. As the dominant critical concerns of the twentieth century faded, and new cultural and technological environments emerged, Boxall argues that we lost our collective sense of the purpose of the novel. This book responds to this predicament by demonstrating why and how the novel matters to us today. Ranging from Daniel Defoe to Zadie Smith, Boxall shows how the formal properties of the novel allow us to imagine the worlds in which we live. This is a vibrant, compelling and richly informed critical perspective that asks us to see anew how central fiction is to our idea of the world, and how richly the novel informs our attempts to understand our present and our future.

why it will sell • A comprehensive and wideranging survey of postmodern culture • Accessible and engaging, avoiding jargon and assuming no prior knowledge of the subject

The Cambridge Introduction to Postmodernism surveys the full spectrum of postmodern culture – high and low, avant-garde and popular, famous and obscure – across a range of fields, from architecture and visual art to fiction, poetry, and drama. It deftly maps postmodernism’s successive historical phases, from its emergence in the 1960s to its waning in the first decades of the twenty-first century. Weaving together multiple strands of postmodernism – people and places from Andy Warhol, Jefferson Airplane and magical realism, to Jean-François Lyotard, Laurie Anderson and cyberpunk – this book creates a rich picture of a complex cultural phenomenon that continues to exert an influence over our present ‘postpostmodern’ situation. Comprehensive and accessible, this Introduction is indispensable for scholars, students, and general readers interested in late twentieth-century culture.

Alfred Hitchcock was, despite his English origins and early career, an American master. Arriving on US shores in 1939, for the next three decades he created a series of masterpieces that redefined the nature and possibilities of cinema itself: Rebecca, Notorious, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo and Psycho, to name just a few.

This Companion explores the way in which Hitchcock was transformed by the country where he made his home and did much of his greatest work. This book will be invaluable as a guide for both fans and students of Hitchcock and twentieth-century American culture, providing a set of new perspectives on a much-loved and hugely influential director.

why it will sell • Elucidating examples from every part of the world introduce the reader to original poetic material • A new theory of poetry, linking language and memory, forms part of the cuttingedge attempts to understand literature from a cognitive perspective

Poetry, defined as language divided into lines, is found in most known human cultures. This masterful survey of poetry and its constituent components demonstrates the functions performed by metre, rhyme, alliteration and parallelism, arguing that each line of a poem fits as a whole unit into the limited capacity of human working memory. Using examples from around the world, Fabb surveys the wide varieties of poetry and the ways they are performed, including those in songs and signed literatures. Focusing on language, form and memory, he helps us understand why poetry is a particularly valued way of using language. A fresh exploration of poetry, the book will be welcomed by students and researchers of literature, linguistics and psychology, as well as anyone interested in poetry.

From the barbed, childish taunt on the school playground, to the eloquent sophistry of a lawyer prising open a legal loophole in a court of law, meaning arises each time we use language to communicate with one another. How we use language – to convey ideas, make requests, ask a favour, and express anger, love or dismay – is of the utmost importance; indeed, linguistic meaning can be a matter of life and death. In The Crucible of Language, Vyvyan Evans explains what we know, and what we do, when we communicate using language; he shows how linguistic meaning arises, where it comes from, and the way language enables us to convey the meanings that can move us to tears, bore us to death, or make us dizzy with delight. Meaning is, he argues, one of the final frontiers in the mapping of the human mind.

Ockham’s Razors A User’s Manual

Elliott Sober University of Wisconsin, Madison

July 2015 247 x 174 mm 240pp 42 b/w illus. 978-1-107-06849-0 Hardback £64.99

why it will sell • Defends two justifications for using Ockham’s razor in science and examines whether Ockham’s razor can be used to solve philosophical problems • Provides non-expert readers with a brief tutorial in probability theory

Ockham’s razor, the principle of parsimony, states that simpler theories are better than theories that are more complex. It has a history dating back to Aristotle and it plays an important role in current physics, biology, and psychology. The razor also gets used outside of science – in everyday life and in philosophy. This book evaluates the principle and discusses its many applications. Fascinating examples from different domains provide a rich basis for contemplating the principle’s promises and perils. It is obvious that simpler theories are beautiful and easy to understand; the hard problem is to figure out why the simplicity of a theory should be relevant to saying what the world is like. In this book, the ABCs of probability theory are succinctly developed and put to work to describe two ‘parsimony paradigms’ within which this problem can be solved.

Contents Introduction; 1. A history of parsimony in thin slices (from Aristotle to Morgan); 2. The probabilistic turn; 3. Parsimony in evolutionary biology – phylogenetic inference; 4. Parsimony in psychology – chimpanzee mind-reading; 5. Parsimony in philosophy; References.

An Introduction to Metametaphysics Tuomas E. Tahko University of Helsinki How do we come to know metaphysical truths? How does metaphysical inquiry work? Are metaphysical debates substantial? These are the questions which characterize metametaphysics. This book, the first systematic student introduction dedicated to metametaphysics, discusses the nature of metaphysics – its methodology, epistemology, ontology and our access to metaphysical knowledge. It provides students with a firm grounding in the basics of metametaphysics, covering a broad range of topics in metaontology such as existence, quantification, ontological commitment and ontological realism. Contemporary views are discussed along with those of Quine, Carnap and Meinong. Going beyond the metaontological debate, thorough treatment is given to novel topics in metametaphysics, including grounding, ontological dependence, fundamentality, modal epistemology, intuitions, thought experiments and the relationship between metaphysics and science. The book will be an essential resource for those studying advanced metaphysics, philosophical methodology, metametaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of science.

why it will sell • Provides a deeper understanding of Adorno’s aesthetics by placing it in the context of classical German philosophy • Accessible to readers with a limited background in Adorno’s aesthetics

Theodor W. Adorno’s aesthetics has dominated discussions about art and aesthetic modernism since the Second World War, and continues to inform contemporary theorizing. Situating Adorno’s aesthetic theory in the context of post-Kantian European philosophy, Espen Hammer explores Adorno’s critical view of art as engaged in reconsidering fundamental features of our relation to nature and reality. His book is structured around what Adorno regarded as the contemporary aesthetician’s overarching task: to achieve a vision of the fate of art in the modern world, while demonstrating its unique cognitive potential. Hammer offers a lively examination of Adorno’s work through the central problem of what full human self-actualization would require, and also discusses the wider philosophical significance of aesthetic modernism. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of social philosophy, art, and aesthetics.

Contents Preface; Introduction; 1. Art and the problem of modernity; 2. The beautiful and the sublime: an aesthetics of nature; 3. The dialectic of aesthetic autonomy; 4. Language, truth, and semblance; 5. A topography of nothingness: Adorno on Beckett; 6. Experience and metaphysics: the legacy of Kant; 7.

32095.indd 23

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire career of one of Britain’s greatest men of letters. It sets in biographical and historical context all of Hume’s works, from A Treatise of Human Nature to The History of England, bringing to light the major influences on the course of Hume’s intellectual development and paying careful attention to the differences between the wide variety of literary genres with which Hume experimented. The major events in Hume’s life are fully described, but the main focus is on Hume’s intentions as a philosophical analyst of human nature, politics, commerce, English history and religion. Careful attention is paid to Hume’s intellectual relations with his contemporaries. The goal is to reveal Hume as a man intensely concerned with the realization of an ideal of open-minded, objective, rigorous, dispassionate dialogue about all the principal questions faced by his age.

In today’s highly competitive market, organizations increasingly need to innovate in order to survive. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research in the field of creativity, David H. Cropley and Arthur J. Cropley illustrate practical methods for conceptualizing and managing organizational innovation. They present a dynamic model of the interactions between four key components of creativity – product, person, process, and press – which function as building blocks of innovation. This volume sheds new light on the nature of innovative products and the processes that generate them, the psychological characteristics of innovative people, and the environments that facilitate innovation. It also fills a significant gap in the current literature by addressing the paradoxical quality of organizational innovation, which may be both helped and hindered by the same factors. The authors demonstrate that with proper measurement and management, organizations can effectively encourage individuals to produce and take advantage of novel ideas.

Illuminating Dark Networks The Study of Clandestine Groups and Organizations

Edited by Luke M. Gerdes United States Military Academy

August 2015 228 x 152 mm 224pp 71 b/w illus. 27 tables 978-1-107-10269-9 Hardback c. £65.00

why it will sell • Describes new tools to study big data that will appeal to researchers attempting to understand extremist groups’ use of social media • Describes contextspecific means to conduct measurement in dark networks • Explores theoretical issues in the application of network method to the study of clandestine groups

Some of the most important international security threats stem from terror groups, criminal enterprises, and other violent non-state actors (VNSAs). Because these groups are often structured as complex, dark networks, analysts have begun to use network science to study them. However, standard network tools were originally developed to examine companies, friendship groups, and other transparent networks. The inherently clandestine nature of dark networks dictates that conventional analytical tools do not always apply. Data on dark networks is incomplete, inaccurate, and often just difficult to find. Moreover, dark networks are often organized to undertake fundamentally different tasks than transparent networks, so resources and information may follow different paths through these two types of organizations. Given the distinctive characteristics of dark networks, unique tools and methods are needed to understand these structures. Illuminating Dark Networks explores the state of the art in methods to study and understand dark networks.

Contents Introduction; 1. Covert network analysis: an exchange network theory perspective; 2. Dark dimensions: classifying relationships among clandestine actors; 3. Disrupting and dismantling dark networks: lessons from social network analysis and law enforcement simulations; 4. The methodological challenges of extracting dark networks: minimizing false positives through ethnography; 5. Detecting dark networks using geo-temporal and pattern based network analysis techniques; 6. LookingGlass: a visual intelligence platform for tracking social movements; 7. Open source exploitation for understanding covert networks; 8. Simulating and analyzing dark networks: modeling and measuring using network tools; 9. Criminal social network intelligence analysis with the GANG software; 10. A new approach for identification of multiple threat scenarios to counter CBRN networks; 11. Casting more light on dark networks: a stochastic actor-oriented longitudinal analysis of the Noordin top terrorist network; 12. Generating illicit networks: multi-level agent-based modeling and network formation rules among extremists; 13. Challenges to understanding covert groups; 14. Dynamic actor-oriented models as a tool for the analysis of dark networks in a multiply connected actor-oriented environment.

Puberty in Crisis The Sociology of Early Sexual Development

why it will sell • Proposes an original, interdisciplinary understanding of early sexual development that will appeal to a broad range of readers interested in sex, gender and children’s development • Provides a feminist analysis of early sexual development and explains the significance of this issue to feminism

Puberty has long been recognised as a difficult and upsetting process for individuals and families, but it is now also being widely described as in crisis. Reportedly occurring earlier and earlier as each decade of the twenty-first century passes, sexual development now heralds new forms of temporal trouble in which sexuality, sex/gender and reproduction are all at stake. Many believe that children are growing up too fast and becoming sexual too early. Clinicians, parents and teachers all demand something must be done. Does this out-of-time development indicate that children’s futures are at risk or that we are entering a new era of environmental and social perturbation? Engaging with a diverse range of contemporary feminist and social theories on the body, biology and sex, Celia Roberts urges us to refuse a discourse of crisis and to rethink puberty as a combination of biological, psychological and social forces.

Contents 1. Puberty in crisis? Sex, reproduction and the loss of future; 2. Articulating findings, feelings and figurations: methods and approaches; 3. Telling histories: the scientific study of puberty; 4. Defining early onset puberty: troubling findings about sexual development; 5. Causes and explanations: genes, fat, toxins and families; 6. Consequences of early development: sex, drugs and shortness; 7. Treatments: pharmaceuticals, sex and suffering; Conclusion: folding puberty differently: changing findings, feeling and figurations.

July 2015 247 x 174 mm 272pp 13 b/w illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-03411-2 Hardback £64.99

Taking a comparative approach, this textbook is a concise introduction to race. Illustrated with detailed examples from around the world, it is organised into two parts. Part One explores the historical changes in ideas about race from the ancient world to the present day, in different corners of the globe. Part Two outlines ways in which racial difference and inequality are perceived and enacted in selected regions of the world. Examining how humans have used ideas of physical appearance, heredity and behaviour as criteria for categorising others, the text guides students through provocative questions such as: what is race? Does studying race reinforce racism? Does a colour-blind approach dismantle, or merely mask, racism? How does biology feed into concepts of race? Numerous case studies, photos, figures and tables help students to appreciate the different meanings of race in varied contexts, and end-of-chapter research tasks provide further support for student learning.

why it will sell • A multidisciplinary text, jargon-free and theoretically transparent, with references to history, psychology, primate studies and evolutionary biology, so readers from neighbouring disciplines can enjoy the book

How are children raised in different cultures? What is the role of children in society? How are families and communities structured around them? Now available in a revised edition, this book sets out to answer these questions, and argues that our common understandings about children are narrowly culture-bound. Enriched with anecdotes from ethnography and the daily media, the book examines family structure, reproduction, profiles of children’s caretakers within family or community, their treatment at different ages, their play, work, schooling, and transition to adulthood. The result is a nuanced and credible picture of childhood in different cultures, past and present. Organised developmentally, moving from infancy through to adolescence and early adulthood, this new edition reviews and catalogues the findings of over 100 years of anthropological scholarship dealing with childhood and adolescence, drawing on over 750 newly added sources, and engaging with newly emerging issues relevant to the world of childhood today.

Contents 1. Where do children come from?; 2. Valuing children; 3. To make a child; 4. It takes a village; 5. Making sense; 6. Of marbles and morals; 7. The chore curriculum; 8. Living in limbo; 9.

why it will sell • Presents new ideas on the history of language in a scholarly but student-friendly text • Up-to-date coverage of research in linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, psychology and other fields • Includes an extensive glossary covering all relevant topics

For ninety per cent of our history, humans have lived as ‘hunters and gatherers’, and for most of this time, as talking individuals. No direct evidence for the origin and evolution of language exists; we do not even know if early humans had language, either spoken or signed. Taking an anthropological perspective, Alan Barnard acknowledges this difficulty and argues that we can nevertheless infer a great deal about our linguistic past from what is around us in the present. Hunter-gatherers still inhabit much of the world, and in sufficient number to enable us to study the ways in which they speak, the many languages they use, and what they use them for. Barnard investigates the lives of hunter-gatherers by understanding them in their own terms, to create a book which will be welcomed by all those interested in the evolution of language.

Contents 1. Introduction; 2. Population diversity and language diversity; 3. What did prehistoric people do?; 4. How did prehistoric people think?; 5. Narratives of the every-day; 6. Mythological narratives; 7. Sexual selection and language evolution; 8. Conclusions and thoughts for the future. Additional Resources: http://www.cambridge.org/9781107041127 Online glossary

In antiquity itself and in our memory of antiquity, the Eleusinian Mysteries stand out as the oldest and most venerable mystery cult. Despite the tremendous popularity of the Eleusinian Mysteries, their origins are unknown. Because they are lost in an era without written records, they can only be reconstructed with the help of archaeology. This book provides a much needed synthesis of the archaeology of Eleusis during the Bronze Age and reconstructs the formation and early development of the Eleusinian Mysteries. The discussion of the origins of the Eleusinian Mysteries is complemented with discussions of the theology of Demeter and an update on the state of research in the archaeology of Eleusis from the Bronze Age to the end of antiquity.

Contents Introduction; Part I. Myth and Cult: 1. Myths and legends; 2. The theology of Demeter at Eleusis; Part II. The Site and its Exploration: 3. Landscape and environment; 4.

Archaeological Resource Management An International Perspective

John Carman University of Birmingham

November 2015 228 x 152 mm 225pp 18 tables 978-0-521-60259-4 Paperback £22.99

why it will sell • Has global relevance • Takes a comparative approach • A unique treatment of this subject matter

Archaeological resource management (ARM) is the practice of recording, evaluating, preserving for future research and presenting to the public the material remains of the past. Almost all countries uphold a set of principles and laws for the preservation and professional management of archaeological remains. This book offers a critical and comparative perspective on the law and professional practices of managing archaeological remains. Beginning with a global history of ARM, John Carman provides an overview of legal and professional regulations governing ARM today. He then turns to consider the main practices involved in managing archaeological remains, namely, their identification and recording, their evaluation for ‘significance’, their preservation and their presentation to the public. As a whole, the book offers an overview of what ARM ‘does’ in the world, with implications for understanding the role of archaeology as a contemporary set of practices that determine how future generations will access material remains of the past.

Contents Part I. History and Principles: 1. Historical antecedents to archaeological resource management; 2. The development of current structures; 3. Systems of regulation; Part II. Practices: 4. Inventory; 5. Evaluation; 6. Preservation; 7. Presentation; Part III. Conclusions: 8. Archaeology in the world.

Knowledge and Power in Prehistoric Societies Orality, Memory, and the Transmission of Culture

Lynne Kelly La Trobe University, Victoria

July 2015 253 x 177 mm 304pp 43 b/w illus. 4 maps 4 tables 978-1-107-05937-5 Hardback £64.99

why it will sell • Offers a new theory for the purpose of Stonehenge and other stone circles in the UK, the great houses of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, and the mound-building site of Poverty Point in Louisiana, in a way which applies to many other sites around the world

In this book, Lynne Kelly explores the role of formal knowledge systems in small-scale oral cultures in both historic and archaeological contexts. In the first part, she examines knowledge systems within historically recorded oral cultures, showing how the link between power and the control of knowledge is established. Analyzing the material mnemonic devices used by documented oral cultures, she demonstrates how early societies maintained a vast corpus of pragmatic information concerning animal behavior, plant properties, navigation, astronomy, genealogies, laws and trade agreements, among other matters. In the second part Kelly turns to the archaeological record of three sites, Chaco Canyon, Poverty Point and Stonehenge, offering new insights into the purpose of the monuments and associated decorated objects. This book demonstrates how an understanding of rational intellect, pragmatic knowledge and mnemonic technologies in prehistoric societies offers a new tool for analysis of monumental structures built by non-literate cultures.

Contents 1. Primary orality in the archaeological context; 2. Knowledge and power in oral cultures; 3. Primary orality and oral mnemonic technologies; 4. Material mnemonic technologies; 5. Animal and plant knowledge in oral tradition; 6. Time and space; 7. Case study: the Yolngu system of knowledge; 8. Case study: the Pueblo system of knowledge; 9. Chaco Canyon in the ancestral Puebloan context; 10. Poverty Point in the American Archaic context; 11. Stonehenge in the British and Irish Neolithic context; 12. Conclusions.

Art and Vision in the Inca Empire Andeans and Europeans at Cajamarca

Adam Herring Southern Methodist University, Texas

why it will sell • A close art-historical reading of Inca artworks and visual expression • Provides in-depth consideration of historical and performative contexts of Inca art

In 1500 CE, the Inca empire covered most of South America’s Andean region. The empire’s leaders first met Europeans on November 15, 1532, when a large Inca army confronted Francisco Pizarro’s band of adventurers in the highland Andean valley of Cajamarca, Peru. At few other times in its history would the Inca royal leadership so aggressively showcase its moral authority and political power. Glittering and truculent, what Europeans witnessed at Inca Cajamarca compels revised understandings of pre-contact Inca visual art, spatial practice, and bodily expression. This book takes a fresh look at the encounter at Cajamarca, using the episode to offer a new, art-historical interpretation of pre-contact Inca culture and power. Adam Herring’s study offers close readings of Inca and Andean art in a variety of media: architecture and landscape, geoglyphs, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, featherwork, and metalwork. The volume is richly illustrated with over sixty color images.

Contents 1. Llamas and the logic of the gaze; 2. Under Atawallpa’s gaze; 3. Chessboard landscape; 4. Qori: a place in the sun; Conclusion: fount of beauty.

School Bullying in Different Cultures Eastern and Western Perspectives

Edited by Peter K. Smith

Keumjoo Kwak

Goldsmiths, University of London

and Yuichi Toda Osaka University of Education, Japan School bullying is widely recognised as an international problem, but publications have focussed on the western tradition of research. A long tradition of research in Japan and South Korea, and more recently in Mainland China and Hong Kong, has had much less exposure. There are important and interesting differences in the nature of school bullying in eastern and western countries, as the first two parts of this book demonstrate. The third part examines possible reasons for these differences – methodological issues, school systems, societal values and linguistic issues. The final part looks at the implications for interventions to reduce school bullying and what we can learn from experiences in other countries. This is the first volume to bring together these perspectives on school bullying from a range of eastern as well as western countries.

why it will sell • An illuminating analysis of historical change and development, focusing on real conceptual connections between psychological theories rather than imposed philosophical categories (rationalism vs empiricism, for example)

In the new edition of this original and penetrating book, John D. Greenwood provides an in-depth analysis of the subtle conceptual continuities and discontinuities that inform the history of psychology from the speculations of the Ancient Greeks to contemporary cognitive psychology. He also demonstrates the fashion in which different conceptions of human and animal psychology and behavior have become associated and disassociated over the centuries. Moving easily between psychology, history of science, physiology and philosophy, Greenwood provides a critically challenging account of the development of psychology as a science. He relates the remarkable stories of the intellectual pioneers of modern psychology, while exploring the social and political milieu in which they operated, and dispels many of the myths of the history of psychology, based upon the best historical scholarship of recent decades. This is an impressive overview that will appeal to scholars and graduate students of the history of psychology.

why it will sell • Integrates research from a diverse range of new family forms including: lesbian mother families, gay father families, families headed by single mothers by choice and families created by assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation and surrogacy

Modern Families brings together research on parenting and child development in new family forms including lesbian mother families, gay father families, families headed by single mothers by choice and families created by assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation and surrogacy. This research is examined in the context of the issues and concerns that have been raised regarding these families. The findings not only contest popular myths and assumptions about the social and psychological consequences for children of being raised in new family forms but also challenge wellestablished theories of child development that are founded upon the supremacy of the traditional family. It is argued that the quality of family relationships and the wider social environment are more influential in children’s psychological development than are the number, gender, sexual orientation, or biological relatedness of their parents or the method of their conception.

32095.indd 40

Neuroscientific evidence has educated us in the ways in which the brain mediates our thought and behavior and, therefore, forced us to critically examine how we conceive of free will. This volume, featuring contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of distinguished researchers and scholars, explores how our increasing knowledge of the brain can elucidate the concept of the will and whether or to what extent it is free. It also examines how brain science can inform our normative judgments of moral and criminal responsibility for our actions. Some chapters point out the different respects in which mental disorders can compromise the will and others show how different forms of neuromodulation can reveal the neural underpinning of the mental capacities associated with the will and can restore or enhance them when they are impaired.

Contents Part I. Introduction: 1. Free will in light of neuroscience; Part II. Conceptual Issues: 2. Is free will an observer-based concept rather than a brain-based one? A critical neuroepistemological account; 3. Evolution, dissolution, and the neuroscience of the will; 4. The experience of free will and the experience of agency: an error-prone, reconstructive process; Part III. Mental Capacities and Disorders of the Will: 5. Being free by losing control: what obsessive-compulsive disorder can tell us about free will; 6. Psychopathy and free will from a philosophical and cognitive neuroscience perspective; 7.

Nietzsche’s Culture of Humanity Beyond Aristocracy and Democracy in the Early Period

Jeffrey Church University of Houston

September 2015 228 x 152 mm 300pp 978-1-107-12026-6 Hardback c. £64.9

why it will sell • Breaks through the scholarly debate between ‘aristocratic’ and ‘democratic’ interpretations of Nietzsche • By presenting a novel interpretation of Nietzsche’s political theory, the book offers a way to understand how he could display both elitist and democratic sensibilities

Nietzsche scholars have long been divided over whether Nietzsche is an aristocratic or a democratic thinker. Nietzche’s Culture of Humanity overcomes this debate by proving both sides wrong. Jeffrey Church argues that in his early period writings, Nietzsche envisioned a cultural meritocracy that drew on the classical German tradition of Kant and Herder. The young Nietzsche’s ‘culture of humanity’ synthesized the high and low, the genius and the people, the nation and humanity. Nietzsche’s early ideal of culture can shed light on his mature period thought, since, Church argues, Nietzsche does not abandon this fundamental commitment to a cultural meritocracy. Nietzche’s Culture of Humanity argues that Nietzsche’s novel defense of culture can overcome some persisting problems in contemporary liberal theories of culture. As such, this book should interest Nietzsche scholars, political theorists and philosophers interested in modern thought, as well as contemporary thinkers concerned with the politics of culture.

Contents Part I. The Foundation of Culture in the Early Nietzsche: 1. The influence of Kant and Herder; 2. Nihilism and the contradiction of human nature; 3. Freedom and the best life; Part II. Two Concepts of Culture in the Early Nietzsche: 4. Nietzsche’s exemplary individual; 5. National culture; 6. Cosmopolitan culture; Part III. The Means to Culture in the Early Nietzsche: 7.

Heidegger and Politics The Ontology of Radical Discontent

Alexander Duff Boston University

September 2015 228 x 152 mm 225pp 978-1-107-08153-6 Hardback c. £64.99

why it will sell • Offers a fresh interpretation of Heidegger’s work that will explain the connection between his influence and the details of his difficult thought • By responding to widespread confusion about the political implications of his work, the book shows the relevance of Heidegger’s thought for contemporary evaluations of politics

In this fresh interpretation of Heidegger, Alexander Duff explains Heidegger’s perplexing and highly varied political influence. Heidegger and Politics argues that Heidegger’s political import is forecast by fundamental ambiguities about the status of politics in his thought. Duff explores how in Being and Time as well as earlier and later works, Heidegger analyzes ‘everyday’ human existence as both irretrievably banal but also supplying our only tenuous path to the deepest questions about human life. Heidegger thus points to two irreconcilable attitudes toward politics: either a total and purifying revolution must usher in an authentic communal existence, or else we must await a future deliverance from the present dispensation of Being. Neither attitude is conducive to moderate politics, and so Heidegger’s influence tends towards extremism of one form or another, modified only by explicit departures from his thought.

Contents 1. What’s the matter with ethics? Ethics and the problem of theory; 2. Surpassing ethics: the formal indication of existence; 3. The ambiguous everyday: on the emergence of theory from practice; 4. The dictatorship of the they and the clearing of the everyday; 5. Disclosive occlusion and the promise of nihilism; 6. Heideggerian politics: the past is not dead, it’s not even past.

www.cambridge.org/rights foreignrights@cambridge.org

32095.indd 43

In the spirit of Jeremy Bentham’s Political Tactics, this volume offers the first comprehensive discussion of the effects of secrecy and publicity on debates and votes in committees and assemblies. The contributors – sociologists, political scientists, historians, legal scholars – consider the micro-technology of voting (the devil is in the detail), the historical relations between the secret ballot and universal suffrage, the use and abolition of secret voting in parliamentary decisions, and the sometimes perverse effects of the drive for greater openness and transparency in public affairs. The authors also discuss the normative questions of secret versus public voting in national elections and of optimal mixes of secrecy and publicity, as well as the opportunities for strategic behavior created by different voting systems. Together with two previous volumes on Collective Wisdom (Cambridge, 2012) and Majority Decisions (Cambridge, 2014), the book sets a new standard for interdisciplinary work on collective decision-making.

Contents Introduction; 1. Public voting and political modernization: different views from the nineteenth century and new ideas to modernize voting procedures; 2. Semi-public voting at the Constituante; 3. The introduction of the vote by ballot in the election of the Syndics of the Republic of Geneva (1707); 4.

Taking Rites Seriously is about how religious beliefs and religious believers are assessed by judges and legal scholars and are sometimes mischaracterized and misunderstood by those who are critical of the influence of religion in politics or in the formation of law. Covering three general topics – reason and motive, dignity and personhood, nature and sex – philosopher and legal theorist Francis J. Beckwith carefully addresses several contentious legal and cultural questions over which religious and non-religious citizens often disagree: the rationality of religious belief, religiously motivated legislation, human dignity in bioethics, abortion and embryonic stem cell research, reproductive rights and religious liberty, evolutionary theory, and the nature of marriage. In the process, he responds to some well-known critics of public faith – including Brian Leiter, Steven Pinker, Suzanna Sherry, Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls, and Richard Dawkins – as well as to some religiously conservative critics of secularism, such as the advocates for intelligent design.

Contents 1. Introduction: faith seeking understanding; Part I. Reason and Motive: 2. Fides, ratio et juris: how some courts and some legal theorists misrepresent the rational status of religious beliefs; 3. Theological exclusionary rule: the judicial misuse of religious motives; Part II. Dignity and Personhood: 4. Dignity never been photographed: bioethics, policy, and Steven Pinker’s materialism; 5. Personhood, prenatal life, and religious belief; Part III. Nature and Sex: 6. How to be an anti-intelligent design advocate: science, religion, and the problem of intelligent design; 7. Same-sex marriage and justificatory liberalism: religious liberty, comprehensive doctrines, and public life; 8. Conclusion: taking rites seriously.

July 2015 228 x 152 mm 256pp 36 b/w illus. 978-1-107-05284-0 Hardback £59.99

why it will sell • Offers a new theoretical framework comparing the structural, international and institutional reasons why elections fail • Tested theory empirically among diverse types of societies, using worldwide evidence

Too often, elections around the globe are, unfortunately, deeply flawed or even fail. What triggers these problems? In this second volume of her trilogy on electoral integrity, Pippa Norris compares structural, international, and institutional accounts as alternative perspectives to explain why elections fail to meet international standards. The book argues that rules preventing political actors from manipulating electoral governance are needed to secure integrity, although at the same time officials also need sufficient resources and capacities to manage elections effectively. Drawing on new evidence, the study determines the most effective types of strategies for strengthening the quality of electoral governance around the world. With a global perspective, this book provides fresh insights into these major issues at the heart of the study of elections and voting behavior, comparative politics, democracy and democratization, political culture, democratic governance, public policymaking, development, international relations and conflict studies, and processes of regime change.

Contents Part I. Introduction: 1. Introduction: why do elections fail? 2. Evidence; Part II. Explaining Failures: 3. Structural constraints; 4. International forces; 5. Institutional checks; 6. Electoral management; Part III. Conclusions: 7. Conclusions: lessons for strengthening electoral integrity.

China’s Military Power Assessing Current and Future Capabilities

Roger Cliff Atlantic Council

August 2015 228 x 152 mm 280pp 48 b/w illus. 4 maps 10 tables 978-1-107-10354-2 Hardback £59.99

why it will sell • Includes a comprehensive assessment of the Chinese military’s current and future capabilities • Develops and employs a new and rigorous methodology for assessing military capability

Once termed the ‘world’s largest military museum’, the Chinese military has made enormous progress over the past twenty years. With skyrocketing military budgets and new technology, China’s tanks, aircraft, destroyers, and missile capabilities are becoming comparable to those of the United States. If these trends continue, how powerful will the Chinese military be in the future? Will its capabilities soon rival or surpass those of the United States? The most comprehensive study of its kind, this book provides a detailed assessment of China’s military capabilities in 2000 and 2010 with projections for 2020. It is the first of its kind in outlining a rigorous, theoretically and empirically grounded framework for assessing military capability based on not just weaponry but also doctrine, training, equipment, and organizational structure. This framework provides not only the most accurate assessment of China’s military to date but an important new tool in the study of military history.

The nation-state is a fairly recent historical phenomenon. Human history over the past two to four millennia has been dominated by empires, and the legacies of these empires continues to shape the contemporary world in ways that are not always recognised or fully understood. Much research and writing about European colonial empires has focused on relations between them and their colonies. This book examines the phenomenon of empire from a different perspective. It explores the imprint that imperial institutions, organisational principles, practices, and logics have left on the modern world. It shows that many features of the contemporary world – modern armies, multiculturalism, globalised finance, modern city-states, the United Nations – have been profoundly shaped by past empires. It also applies insights about the impact of past empires to contemporary politics and considers the long-term institutional legacies of the American ‘empire’.

Contents 1. Introduction: legacies of empire; Part I. Incomplete Transitions from Empires to Nation-States: 2. Political military legacies of empire in world politics; 3. The second British Empire and the reemergence of global finance; 4. Imperial city-states, national states, and post-national spatialities; Part II.

The history of political events is made by people. From wars to elections to political protests, the choices we make, our actions, how we behave, dictate events. Not all individuals have the same impact on our world and our lives. Some peoples’ choices alter the pathways that history takes. In particular, national chief executives play a large role in forging the destinies of the countries they lead. Why Leaders Fight is about those world leaders and how their beliefs, world views, and tolerance for risk and military conflict are shaped by their life experiences before they enter office – military, family, occupation, and more. Using in-depth research on important leaders and the largest set of data on leader backgrounds ever gathered, the authors of Why Leaders Fight show that – within the constraints of domestic political institutions and the international system – who ends up in office plays a critical role in determining when and why countries go to war.

why it will sell • Places martyrdom in a broad historical perspective • Studies the main spokesman of Islamic martyrdom • Links martyrdom to contemporary sociopolitical reality

The Islamic resurgence in modern times has received extensive treatment in scholarly literature. Most of this literature, however, deals with the concept of jihad and disputes between radicals and their rivals over theological and political issues, and far less with martyrdom and death. Moreover, studies that do address the issue of martyrdom focus mainly on ‘suicide’ attacks – a phenomenon of the late twentieth century and onward – without sufficiently placing them within a historical perspective or using an integrative approach to illuminate their political, social and symbolic features. This book fills these lacunae by tracing the evolving Islamic perceptions of martyrdom, its political and symbolic functions, and its use of past legacies in both Sunni and Shi’i milieus, with comparative references to Judaism, Christianity and other non-Islamic domains. Based on wideranging primary sources, along with historical and sociological literature, the study provides an in-depth analysis of modern Islamic martyrdom and its various interpretations while also evaluating the historical realities in which such interpretations were molded and debated, positing martyrdom as a vital component of contemporary identity politics and power struggles.

Contents Introduction; 1. Defying the oppressor: martyrdom in Judaism and Christianity; 2. Dying for God in Islam; 3.

why it will sell

In this historically grounded, richly empirical study of social and economic transformation in North Korea, Hazel Smith evaluates the ‘marketization from below’ that followed the devastating famine of the early 1990s, estimated to be the cause of nearly one million fatalities. Smith shows how the end of the Cold War in Europe and the famine brought radical social change to all of North Korean society. This major new study analyses how marketization transformed the interests, expectations and values of the entire society, including Party members, the military, women and men, the young and the elderly. Smith shows how the daily life of North Koreans has become alienated from the daily pronouncements of the North Korean government. Challenging stereotypes of twenty-five million North Koreans as mere bystanders in history, Smith argues that North Koreans are ‘neither victims nor villains’ but active agents of their own destiny.

The Quest for Good Governance How Societies Develop Control of Corruption

Alina Mungiu-Pippidi Hertie School of Governance, Berlin Why do some societies manage to control corruption so that it manifests itself only occasionally, while other societies remain systemically corrupt? This book is about how societies reach that point when integrity becomes the norm and corruption the exception in regard to how public affairs are run and public resources are allocated. It primarily asks what lessons we have learned from historical and contemporary experiences in developing corruption control, which can aid policy-makers and civil societies in steering and expediting this process. Few states now remain without either an anticorruption agency or an Ombudsman, yet no statistical evidence can be found that they actually induce progress. Using both historical and contemporary studies and easy to understand statistics, Alina MungiuPippidi looks at how to diagnose, measure and change governance so that those entrusted with power and authority manage to defend public resources.

why it will sell • Brings new conceptual and theoretical perspectives to bear on cyber security, one of the key political issues of our time • Employs an historical and philosophical approach to cyber security

‘Cyber security’ is a recent addition to the global security agenda, concerned with protecting states and citizens from the misuse of computer networks for war, terrorism, economic espionage and criminal gain. Many argue that the ubiquity of computer networks calls for robust and pervasive countermeasures, not least governments concerned at their potential effects on national and economic security. Drawing on critical literature in international relations, security studies, political theory and social theory, this is the first book that describes how these visions of future cyber security are sustained in the communities that articulate them. Specifically, it shows that conceptions of time and temporality are foundational to the politics of cyber security. It explores how cyber security communities understand the past, present and future, thereby shaping cyber security as a political practice. Integrating a wide range of conceptual and empirical resources, this innovative book provides insight for scholars, practitioners and policymakers.

why it will sell • Walks the reader through the principal concepts and arguments in each of The Wealth of Nations’ five books • Offers a new contribution by demonstrating how Smith’s economic analysis is integrated into his larger moral philosophical vision

Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations is regarded by many as the most important text in the history of economics. Jerry Evensky’s analysis of this landmark book walks the reader through the five ‘Books’ of The Wealth of Nations, analyzing Smith’s terms and assumptions and how they are developed into statements about economic processes in Book I, his representation of the dynamics of economics systems in Book II, and his empirical case for his model in Book III. With that framework in place, Evensky examines Smith’s critique of alternative models, mercantilism and physiocracy, in Book IV, and Smith’s presentation of the policy implications of his analysis presented in Book V. This guide highlights the nexus of Smith’s economics and his work on ethics and jurisprudence, and in doing so Evensky sets his examination of The Wealth of Nations into a larger, holistic analysis of Smith’s moral philosophy.

Contents Prologue; 1. Adam Smith’s moral philosophical vision: the context of his economic analysis; 2. An inquiry: Book I; 3. An inquiry: Books II and III; 4. An inquiry: Book IV; 5. An inquiry: Book V; Epilogue: Adam Smith and laissez-faire.

This ambitious book looks ‘behind the model’ to reveal how economists use formal models to generate insights into the economy. Drawing on recent work in the philosophy of science and economic methodology, the book presents a novel framework for understanding the logic of economic modeling. It also reveals the ways in which economic models can mislead rather than illuminate. Importantly, the book goes beyond purely negative critique, proposing a concrete program of methodological reform to better equip economists to detect potential mismatches between their models and the targets of their inquiry. Ranging across economics, philosophy, and social science methods, and drawing on a variety of examples, including the recent financial crisis, Behind the Model will be of interest to anyone who has wondered how economics works – and why it sometimes fails so spectacularly.

Contents Introduction; Part I. A Constructive Critique of Common Modeling Practice: 1. Models and modeling; 2. The use of mathematics in theoretical modeling; 3. The use of mathematics in empirical modeling; Part II. The Critique Applied: 4. The new, new institutional economics; 5. The financial crisis and economics; Part III. A Reform Proposal: 6.

Mussolini in Ethiopia, 1919–1935 looks in detail at the evolution of the Italian Fascist regime’s colonial policy within the context of European politics and the rise to power of German National Socialism. It delves into the tortuous nature of relations between the National Fascist Party and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP), while demonstrating how, ultimately, a Hitler-led Germany proved the best mechanism for overseas Italian expansion in East Africa. The book assesses the emergence of an ideologically driven Fascist colonial policy from 1931 onwards and how this eventually culminated in a serious clash of interests with the British Empire. Benito Mussolini’s successful flouting of the League of Nations’ authority heralded a new dark era in world politics and continues to have its resonance in today’s world.

why it will sell • A transnational history, discussing ideas of space, borders, and belonging • Analyzes the links between the extreme right and the mainstream right in contemporary Italy, with particular reference to politicians close to Silvio Berlusconi and, at times, main figures in his party

This book describes the establishment, evolution, and international links of the extreme right in one of the main Western European areas. Andrea Mammone details the long journey in the development of right-wing extremism in France and Italy, emphasizing the transfer, exchange, and borrowing of ideals, personnel, and strategies and the similarities among neofascist movements, activists, and thinkers across national boundaries from 1945 to the present day – including the Cold War years, the election of the European Parliament in 1979, and the 2014 EU elections. Mammone analyzes the adaptation of neofascism in society and politics; the building of international associations and pan-national networks; and the right-leaning responses to the defeat of fascism, European integration, decolonization, the events of 1968, immigration, and the recent EU-led austerity politics. As a book implicitly on space, borders, and belonging, it shows how some nationalisms may embody a transnational dimension and, at times, even pan-European stances.

Imperial Russia’s Muslims offers an exploration of social and cultural change among the Muslim communities of Central Eurasia from the late eighteenth century through to the outbreak of the First World War. Drawing from a wealth of Russian and Turkic sources, Mustafa Tuna surveys the roles of Islam, social networks, state interventions, infrastructural changes and the globalization of European modernity in transforming imperial Russia’s oldest Muslim community: the Volga-Ural Muslims. Shifting between local, imperial and transregional frameworks, Tuna reveals how the Russian state sought to manage Muslim communities, the ways in which both the state and Muslim society were transformed by European modernity, and the extent to which the long nineteenth century either fused Russia’s Muslims and the tsarist state or drew them apart. The book raises questions about imperial governance, diversity, minorities, and Islamic reform, and in doing so proposes a new theoretical model for the study of imperial situations.

why it will sell • The first book to use recently declassified Mexican intelligence and Cuban diplomatic records to examine Mexico’s Cold War • Weaves together local, national, and international history

This book is a history of the Cold War in Mexico and Mexico in the Cold War. Renata Keller draws on declassified Mexican and US intelligence sources and Cuban diplomatic records to challenge earlier interpretations that depicted Mexico as a peaceful haven and a weak neighbor forced to submit to US pressure. Mexico did in fact suffer from the political and social turbulence that characterized the Cold War era in general, and by maintaining relations with Cuba it played a unique, and heretofore overlooked, role in the hemispheric Cold War. The Cuban Revolution was an especially destabilizing force in Mexico because Fidel Castro’s dedication to many of the same nationalist and populist causes that the Mexican revolutionaries had originally pursued in the early twentieth century called attention to the fact that the government had abandoned those promises. A dynamic combination of domestic and international pressures thus initiated Mexico’s Cold War and shaped its distinct evolution and outcomes.

The translation of texts has played a formative role in Japan’s history of cultural exchange as well as the development of literature, and indigenous legal and religious systems. This is the first book of its kind, however, to offer a comprehensive survey of the role of translation in Japan during the Tokugawa period, 1600-1868. By examining a wide range of translations into Japanese from Chinese, Dutch and other European texts, as well as the translation of classical Japanese into the vernacular, Rebekah Clements reveals the circles of intellectual and political exchange that existed in early modern Japan, arguing that, contrary to popular belief, Japan’s ‘translation’ culture did not begin in the Meiji period. Examining the ‘crisis translation’ of military texts in response to international threats to security in the nineteenth century, Clements also offers fresh insights into the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1868.

In this innovative and engaging study, Mire Koikari recasts the US occupation of Okinawa as a startling example of Cold War cultural interaction in which women’s grassroots activities involving homes and homemaking played a pivotal role in reshaping the contours of US and Japanese imperialisms. Drawing on insights from studies of gender, Asia, America and postcolonialism, Koikari analyzes how the occupation sparked domestic education movements in Okinawa, mobilizing an assortment of women – home economists, military wives, club women, university students and homemakers – from the US, Okinawa and mainland Japan. These women went on to pursue a series of activities to promote ‘modern domesticity’ and build ‘multicultural friendship’ amidst intense militarization on the islands. As these women took their commitment to domesticity and multiculturalism onto the larger terrain of the Pacific, they came to articulate the complex intertwinement of gender, race, domesticity, empire and transnationality that existed during the Cold War.

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 225 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and describes how they brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. The fourth edition incorporates the far-reaching effects of an export and investment boom in the early years of the twenty-first century that lifted Australia to unprecedented prosperity. The sale of minerals and energy enabled the economy to withstand the global financial crisis of 2007–08 but there was no agreement on how the wealth was to be managed and its benefits distributed. The book describes a continuing search for solutions to climate change, the unauthorised arrival of refugees, Indigenous disadvantage and generational change.

The Muslim afterworld, with its imagery rich in sensual promises, has shaped Western perceptions of Islam for centuries. However, to date, no single study has done justice to the full spectrum of traditions of thinking about the topic in Islamic history. The Muslim hell, in particular, remains a little studied subject. This book, which is based on a wide array of carefully selected Arabic and Persian texts, covers not only the theological and exegetical but also the philosophical, mystical, topographical, architectural and ritual aspects of the Muslim belief in paradise and hell, in both the Sunni and the Shi’i world. By examining a broad range of sources related to the afterlife, Christian Lange shows that Muslim religious literature, against transcendentalist assumptions to the contrary, often pictures the boundary between this world and the otherworld as being remarkably thin, or even permeable.

Contents Introduction; Part I. Textual Foundations: Narrating the Otherworld: 1. The otherworld revealed: paradise and hell in the Qur’ān; 2. The growth of the Islamic otherworld: a history of Muslim traditionist eschatology; 3. Hope, fear and entertainment: parenetic and popular Muslim literature on the otherworld; 4. The imagination unbound: two late-medieval Muslim scholars on paradise and hell; Part II. Discourses and Practices: Debating the Otherworld: 5. The otherworld contested: cosmology, soteriology and ontology in Sunni theology and philosophy; 6. Otherworlds apart: Shi’i visions of paradise and hell; 7. The otherworld within: paradise and hell in Islamic mysticism; 8. Eschatology now: paradise and hell in Muslim topography, architecture and ritual; Epilogue.

Generations of Feeling A History of Emotions, 600–1700

Barbara H. Rosenwein Loyola University, Chicago Generations of Feeling is the first book to provide a comprehensive history of emotions in pre- and early modern Western Europe. Charting the varieties, transformations and constants of human sentiments over the course of eleven centuries, Barbara H. Rosenwein explores the feelings expressed in a wide range of ‘emotional communities’ as well as the theories that served to inform and reflect their times. Focusing specifically on groups within England and France, chapters address communities as diverse as the monastery of Rievaulx in twelfth-century England and the ducal court of fifteenth-century Burgundy, assessing the ways in which emotional norms and modes of expression respond to, and in turn create, their social, religious, ideological, and cultural environments. Contemplating emotions experienced ‘on the ground’ as well as those theorized in the treatises of Alcuin, Thomas Aquinas, Jean Gerson and Thomas Hobbes, this insightful study offers a profound new narrative of emotional life in the West.

International Communism and the Spanish Civil War provides an intimate picture of international communism in the Stalin era. Exploring the transnational exchanges that occurred in Soviet-structured spaces – from clandestine schools for training international revolutionaries in Moscow to the International Brigades in Spain – the book uncovers complex webs of interaction, at once personal and political, that linked international communists to one another and the Soviet Union. The Spanish Civil War, which coincided with the great purges in the Soviet Union, stands at the center of this grassroots history. For many international communists, the war came to define both their life histories and political commitments. In telling their individual stories, the book calls attention to a central paradox of Stalinism – the simultaneous celebration and suspicion of transnational interactions – and illuminates the appeal of a cause that promised solidarity even as it practiced terror.

Contents Introduction: being communist; Part I. International Communists and the Soviet Union, 1930–6: 1. Learning to be Bolshevik; 2. Imagining, seeing, feeling the revolution; Part II.

why it will sell • Major new account of the contest for supremacy in Eurasia between Nazi Germany, Japan and the Soviet Union • Offers a new framework for Soviet foreign policy from the Russian Revolution to the beginning of the Cold War

This is a major new study of the successor states that emerged in the wake of the collapse of the great Russian, Habsburg, Iranian, Ottoman and Qing Empires and of the expansionist powers who renewed their struggle over the Eurasian borderlands through to the end of the Second World War. Surveying the great power rivalry between the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan for control over the Western and Far Eastern boundaries of Eurasia, Alfred J. Rieber provides a new framework for understanding the evolution of Soviet policy from the Revolution through to the beginning of the Cold War. Paying particular attention to the Soviet Union, the book charts how these powers adopted similar methods to the old ruling elites to expand and consolidate their conquests, ranging from colonisation and deportation to forced assimilation, but applied them with a force that far surpassed the practices of their imperial predecessors.

Soviet Internationalism after Stalin Interaction and Exchange between the USSR and Latin America during the Cold War

Tobias Rupprecht European University Institute, Florence

July 2015 228 x 152 mm 352pp 978-1-107-10288-0 Hardback £64.99

why it will sell • Proposes a new view of the internationalisation of Soviet culture and politics after the death of Stalin • Draws upon the accounts of writers, artists, political figures, scholars and students who travelled between the Soviet Union and Latin America

The Soviet Union is often presented as a largely isolated and idiosyncratic state. Soviet Internationalism after Stalin challenges this view by telling the story of Soviet and Latin American intellectuals, students, political figures and artists, and their encounters with the ‘other’ from the 1950s through the 1980s. In this first multi-archival study of Soviet relations with Latin America, Tobias Rupprecht reveals that, for people in the Second and Third Worlds, the Cold War meant not only confrontation with an ideological enemy, but also increased interconnectedness with distant world regions. He shows that the Soviet Union looked quite different from a southern rather than a western point of view and also charts the impact of the new internationalism on the Soviet Union itself in terms of popular perceptions of the USSR’s place in the world and its political, scientific, intellectual and cultural reintegration into the global community.

Contents Introduction: the end of Soviet isolationism after 1953; 1. A modern image for the USSR: Soviet self-representation towards Latin Americans; 2. Moscow learns the mambo: Latin America and internationalism in Soviet popular culture; 3. Paradise lost and found: Latin American intellectuals in and on the Soviet Union; 4. From Russia with a diploma: Latin American students in the Soviet Union; 5. Desk revolutionaries: Soviet Latin Americanists and internationalism in the late Soviet Union; Conclusion: Soviet internationalism after Stalin and its domestic and foreign audiences.

The Canonization of Islamic Law A Social and Intellectual History

Ahmed El Shamsy University of Chicago The Canonization of Islamic Law tells the story of the birth of classical Islamic law in the eighth and ninth centuries CE. It shows how an oral normative tradition embedded in communal practice was transformed into a systematic legal science defined by hermeneutic analysis of a clearly demarcated scriptural canon. This transformation was inaugurated by the innovative legal theory of Muhammad b. Idrīs al-Shāfi’ī (d. 820 CE), and it took place against the background of a crisis of identity and religious authority in ninth-century Egypt. By tracing the formulation, reception, interpretation and spread of al-Shāfi’ī ’s ideas, the author demonstrates how the canonization of scripture that lay at the heart of al-Shāfi’ī ’s theory formed the basis for the emergence of legal hermeneutics, the formation of the Sunni schools of law, and the creation of a shared methodological basis in Muslim thought.

why it will sell • The first systematic scholarly study of the Ottoman experience of plague from the late medieval to early modern era • Explores the relationship between plague and the process of state-formation in the early modern Ottoman Empire

This is the first systematic scholarly study of the Ottoman experience of plague during the Black Death pandemic and the centuries that followed. Using a wealth of archival and narrative sources, including medical treatises, hagiographies and travellers’ accounts, as well as recent scientific research, Nükhet Varlik demonstrates how plague interacted with the environmental, social, and political structures of the Ottoman Empire from the late medieval through the early modern era. The book argues that the empire’s growth transformed the epidemiological patterns of plague by bringing diverse ecological zones into interaction and by intensifying the mobilities of exchange among both human and non-human agents. Varlik maintains that persistent plagues elicited new forms of cultural imagination and expression, as well as a new body of knowledge about the disease. In turn, this new consciousness sharpened the Ottoman administrative response to the plague, while contributing to the makings of an early modern state.

Contents Part I. Plague: History and Historiography: 1. A natural history of plague; 2. Plague in Ottomanist and non-Ottomanist historiography; 3. The Black Death and its aftermath (1347–1453); Part II. Plague of Empire: 4. The first phase (1453–1517): plague comes from the West; 5. The second phase (1517–70): multiple plague trajectories; 6. The third phase (1570–1600): Istanbul as plague hub; Part III. Empire of Plague: 7. Plague transformed: changing perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes; 8. The state of the plague: politics of bodies in the making of the Ottoman state; Epilogue.

Earthquake Time Bombs Robert Yeats Oregon State University In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert Yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an ‘earthquake time bomb’, a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, a catastrophic earthquake struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and triggering a humanitarian crisis. In this timely study, Yeats sheds new light on other earthquake hotspots around the world and the communities at risk. He examines these seismic threats in the context of recent cultural history, including economic development, national politics and international conflicts. Descriptions of emerging seismic resilience plans from some cities provide a more hopeful picture. Essential reading for policy-makers, infrastructure and emergency planners, scientists, students and anyone living in the shadow of an earthquake, this book raises the alarm so that we can protect our vulnerable cities before it’s too late.

The search for life in the Universe, once the domain of science fiction, is now a robust research program with a well-defined roadmap, from studying the extremes of life on Earth to exploring the possible niches for life in the Solar System and discovering thousands of planets far beyond it. In addition to constituting a major scientific endeavor, astrobiology is one of the most popular topics in astronomy, and is of growing interest to a broad community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds.

An Ape’s View of Human Evolution Peter Andrews Natural History Museum, London

October 2015 247 x 174 mm 335pp 110 b/w illus. 5 colour illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-10067-1 Hardback c. £29.99

Our closest living relatives are the chimpanzee and bonobo. We share many characteristics with them, but our lineages diverged millions of years ago. Who in fact was our last common ancestor? Bringing together ecology, evolution, genetics, anatomy and geology, this book provides a new perspective on human evolution. What can fossil apes tell us about the origins of human evolution? Did the last common ancestor of apes and humans live in trees or on the ground? What did it eat, and how did it survive in a world full of large predators? Did it look anything like living apes? Andrews addresses these questions and more to reconstruct the common ancestor and its habitat. Synthesising thirty-five years of work on both ancient environments and fossil and modern ape anatomy, this book provides unique new insights into the evolutionary processes that led to the origins of the human lineage.

Contents why it will sell • Provides a fresh and unique perspective on human evolution, approaching the subject with a focus on the apes rather than tracing backwards from humans • Synthesises a wide range of evidence, from DNA, phylogenetics, ecology, and anatomy • Presents an in-depth analysis of the probable attributes of the last common ancestor of apes and humans, offering new insights for students and for anyone interested in where humans came from in the evolutionary tree

The Evolution of Human Sociability Desires, Fears, Sex and Society

Ron Vannelli Birmingham City University

October 2015 247 x 174 mm 375pp 2 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-107-11476-0 Hardback c. £69.99

How do desires and fears motivate human sociability? What effect do these motivators have on reproductive, social and political behaviour? And, crucially, how might we understand them separate from preconceived notions of design or higher morality? Taking these questions as a focus, this book examines human evolution with the emphasis on sexual selection and the evolution of a number of human psychological processes. Exploring evolutionary, sexual and maturational processes, along with primate, fossil and geological evidence, Vannelli argues that human nature can be conceptualised as species-typical desires and fears, derived from sexual selection during human evolution, and that these are major motivators of behaviour. Presenting additional evidence from the anthropology of band societies, along with material from group behaviour, Vannelli highlights the importance of pair-bonding, friendship, alliance behaviour, vengeance seeking and interpersonal politics in social behaviour, providing a unique interdisciplinary framework for understanding human nature and the evolution of human sociability.

Random Wireless Networks An Information Theoretic Perspective

Rahul Vaze Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai

May 2015 244 x 170 mm 246pp 978-1-107-10232-3 Hardback £69.99

why it will sell

This book discusses the theoretical limits of information transfer in random wireless networks or ad hoc networks, where nodes are distributed uniformly in space and there is no centralised control. It provides a detailed analysis of the two relevant notions of capacity for random wireless networks – transmission capacity and throughput capacity. The book starts with the transmission capacity framework that is first presented for the single-hop model and later extended to the multi-hop model with retransmissions. Reusing some of the tools developed for analysis of transmission capacity, a few key long-standing questions about the performance analysis of cellular networks are also provided for the benefit of students. The discussion goes further into the concept of hierarchical co-operation that allows throughput capacity to scale linearly with the number of nodes. The author finally discusses the concept of hierarchical co-operation that allows throughput capacity to scale linearly with the number of nodes.
