LITERARY CRITICISM

“Sonya Loftis’s book is a valuable contribution to the growing critical literature on representations of autism in literature and popular media. She brings new perspectives to works we thought we knew and attention to works we might have missed. An extremely intelligent book. An extremely intelligent book.”

—Bruce E. Henderson, co-editor of Understanding Disability Studies and Performance Studies

“This pioneering and groundbreaking study inaugurates new lines of inquiry within English and Disability Studies, situating fictional characters and texts in conversation with trends in public discourse.”

—Christopher Wixson, Eastern Illinois University

Imagining Autism Fiction and Stereotypes on the Spectrum SONYA FREEMAN LOFTIS A disorder that is only just beginning to find a place in disability studies and activism, autism remains in large part a mystery, giving rise to both fear and fascination. Sonya Freeman Loftis’s groundbreaking study examines literary representations of autism or autistic behavior to discover what impact they have had on cultural stereotypes, autistic culture, and the identity politics of autism. Imagining Autism looks at fictional characters (and an author or two) widely understood as autistic, ranging from Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Harper Lee’s Boo Radley to Mark Haddon’s boy detective Christopher Boone and Steig Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander. The silent figure trapped inside himself, the savant made famous by his other-worldly intellect, the brilliant detective linked to the criminal mastermind by their common neurology—these characters become protean symbols, stand-ins for the chaotic forces of inspiration, contagion, and disorder.

They are also part of the imagined lives of the autistic, argues Loftis, sometimes for good, sometimes threatening to undermine self-identity and the activism of the autistic community.

SONYA FREEMAN LOFTIS is Assistant Professor of English at Morehouse College, where she specializes in Shakespeare and disability studies. Her work has appeared in Disability Studies Quarterly, Shakespeare Bulletin, SHAW: The Annual of Bernard Shaw Studies, and The South Atlantic Review.

WAR & MILITARY

“A detailed, up-to-date, integrated air-land-sea history of the middle Solomons campaign from both the American and Japanese perspectives.”

—Vincent P. O’Hara, author of In Passage Perilous

New Georgia The Second Battle for the Solomons RONNIE DAY In 1942, the Solomon Islands formed the stepping stones toward Rabaul, the main base of Japanese operations in the South Pacific, and the Allies primary objective. The stunning defeat of Japanese forces at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in November marked the turning point in the war against Japan and the start of an offensive in the Central Solomons aimed at New Georgia. New Georgia: The Second Battle for the Solomons tells the story of the land, sea, and air battles fought there from March through October 1943. Making careful and copious use of both Japanese and Allied sources, Ronnie Day masterfully weaves the intricate threads of these battles into a well-crafted narrative of this pivotal period in the war. As Day makes clear, combat in the Solomons exemplified the war in the Pacific, especially the importance of air power, something the Japanese failed to understand until it was too late, and the strategy of island hopping, bypassing Japanese strongholds (including Rabaul) in favor of weaker or more strategically advantageous targets. This multifaceted account gives the fighting for New Georgia its proper place in the history of the drive to break the Japanese defensive perimeter and bring the homeland within range of Allied bombers.

RONNIE DAY (1939–2014) was Professor in the Department of History at East Tennessee State University. He is editor of South Pacific Diary, 1942–1943.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

“An extremely original work. . . . Black has his facts well in hand, and his interpretations are convincing.”

—Kelly DeVries, Loyola University Maryland

“A germinal contribution to the study of geopolitics, international relations, and nationstate mechanisms for achieving predominance and hegemony in world affairs. . . . [It] is superlatively organized and written in eminently readable, clear, literary, and engaging prose. . . .

Black has opened new frontiers of explanation and reference for future investigators.”

—Peter Brown, Rhode Island College

Geopolitics and the Quest for Dominance JEREMY BLACK History and geography delineate the operation of power, not only its range but also the capacity to plan and the ability to implement. The study of power, in foreign policies and actions of states in time and space, is an important element in the understanding both of international relations and of the development of states and of state systems. Approaching state strategy and policy from the spatial angle, Jeremy Black relates this angle to the changing perceptions of power and the international system. Black argues that just as the perception of power is central to issues of power, so place, and its constraints and relationships, is partly a matter of perception, not merely map coordinates. Perceptions of geographical place are one means by which states and their population make sense of their situation, and thus geopolitics is as much about ideas and perception as it is about the actual spatial dimensions of power. Black’s study ranges widely, examining geography and the spatial nature of state power from the 15th century to the present day. He considers the rise of British power, geopolitics and the age of Imperialism, the Nazis and World War II, and the Cold War, and he looks at the key theorists of the latter 20th century, including Henry Kissinger, Francis Fukuyama and Samuel P. Huntington, Philip Bobbitt, Niall Ferguson, and others.

JEREMY BLACK is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He is author of many books including Other Pasts, Different Presents, Alternative Futures (IUP, 2015); Clio’s Battles: Historiography in Practice (IUP, 2015); The Power of Knowledge: How Information and Technology Made the Modern World; War and Technology (IUP, 2013); and Fighting for America: The Struggle for Mastery in North America, 1519–1871 (IUP, 2011).

HISTORY “A rare natural, political, and human history . . .

Remarkable and timely.”

—Booklist

“A rare, full-bodied study . . . [that] combines fresh, imaginative writing and serious research.

I cannot imagine another trip to this, the lowest point on earth, without the Kreiger book in hand.”

—Baltimore Jewish Times

“The Jordan River and its terminal lake the Dead Sea have been on center stage of Middle East mythology, history, and politics for millennia.

Barbara Kreiger’s story of the modern day demise of these waters and the urgent need for their rehabilitation is a must-read for anyone that wants to understand the relevance of water issues to the continuing turmoil in the region.”

—Gidon Bromberg, EcoPeace Middle Eas

The Dead Sea and the Jordan River BARBARA KREIGER For centuries travelers have been drawn to the stunning and mysterious Dead Sea and Jordan River, a region which is unlike any other on earth in its religious and historical significance. In this exceptionally engaging and readable book, Barbara Kreiger chronicles the natural and human history of these storied bodies of water, drawing on accounts by travelers, pilgrims, and explorers from ancient times to the present. She conveys the blend of spiritual, touristic, and scientific motivations that have driven exploration and describes the modern exploitation of the lake and the surrounding area through mineral extraction and agriculture. Today, both lake and river are in crisis, and stewardship of these water resources is bound up with political conflicts in the region. The Dead Sea and the Jordan River combines history, literature, travelogue, and natural history in a way that makes it hard to put down.

BARBARA KREIGER is Creative Writing Concentration Chair and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program at Dartmouth College. Her other publications include Divine Expectations: An American Woman in Nineteenth-Century Palestine. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Smithsonian Magazine, and other publications.

HISTORY “This is the most robust defense of historical counterfactuals to date . . . For those interested in this fascinating subject, Black’s book is indispensable.”

—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“A concise, comprehensive analysis of an approach to history that is far more complex than either its supporters or its critics understand. Black succeeds above all in establishing counter factualism’s importance in extending the grounded imagination.”

—Dennis Showalter, author of Armor and Blood: The Battle of Kursk, the Turning Point of World War II

“With a unique methodology, Black performs a what-if analysis of history to show how little it takes to change the world’s fate. . .This book provokes thought and speculation while also entertaining.”

—Foreword Reviews

Other Pasts, Different Presents, Alternative Futures JEREMY BLACK What if there had been no World War I or no Russian Revolution? What if Napoleon had won at Waterloo in 1815, or if Martin Luther had not nailed his complaints to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517, or if the South had won the American Civil War? The questioning of apparent certainties or “known knowns” can be fascinating and, indeed, “What if?” books are very popular. However, this speculative approach, known as counter factualism, has had limited impact in academic histories, historiography, and the teaching of historical methods. In this book, Jeremy Black offers a short guide to the subject, one that is designed to argue its value as a tool for public and academe alike. Black focuses on the role of counter factualism in demonstrating the part of contingency, and thus human agency, in history, and the salutary critique the approach offers to determinist accounts of past, present, and future.

JEREMY BLACK is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He is author of many books including War and Technology (IUP, 2013), Fighting for America: The Struggle for Mastery in North America, 1519–1871 (IUP, 2011), and War and the Cultural Turn. Black received the Samuel Eliot Morison Prize from the Society for Military History in 2008.

WAR & MILITARY

“Tanner’s scholarship is formidable. He has amassed and skillfully used a vast array of Chinese sources, both primary and secondary, and judiciously refers to Western sources to fill out his account. No other Western scholar has exploited Chinese military sources as well as he has.”

—Steven Levine, co-author of The Arc of Empire: America’s War in Eastern Asia, 1899–1973

“Not just a military history of the campaign, but a consideration of its broad diplomatic significance and its place in historical memory. Will add significantly to our existing knowledge of the Chinese Civil War.” —Priscilla Roberts, University of Hong Kong

Where Chiang Kai-shek Lost China The Liao-Shen Campaign, 1948 HAROLD M. TANNER The civil war in China that ended in the 1949 victory of Mao Zedong’s Communist forces was a major blow to US interests in the Far East and led to heated recriminations about how China was “lost.” Despite their significance, there have been few studies in English of the war’s major campaigns. The Liao-Shen Campaign was the final act in the struggle for control of China’s northeast. After the Soviet defeat of Japan in Manchuria, Communist Chinese and then Nationalist troops moved into this strategically important area. China’s largest industrial base and a major source of coal, Manchuria had extensive railways and key ports (both still under Soviet control). When American mediation over control of Manchuria failed, full-scale civil war broke out.

By spring of 1946, Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist armies had occupied most of the southern, economically developed part of Manchuria, pushing Communist forces north of the Songhua (Sungari) River. But over the next two years, the tide would turn. The Communists isolated the Nationalist armies and mounted a major campaign aimed at destroying the Kuomintang forces. This is the story of that campaign and its outcome, which were to have such far-reaching consequences.

HAROLD TANNER is Professor of History and Fellow of the Military History Center at the University of North Texas. A specialist in twentieth-century and contemporary China and Chinese military history, he is the author of The Battle for Manchuria and the Fate of China: Siping, 1946 (IUP, 2012) and China: A History.

HISTORY “Remarkable both for its geographical scope and historical scale, and for its command of scholarship on a breathtaking range of subjects.

I can’t imagine another historian who could attempt such an ambitious work or pull it off with such aplomb.”

— William Gibson, Oxford Brookes University

“Refreshing . . . Black eschews ‘Eurocentricism’ and includes considerable material on other areas of the world that one does not usually find in such a work. Typical of Black’s writing, there is much to learn in the numerous small asides throughout the text. Taken together these form an impressive whole.”

—Spencer C. Tucker, VMI

Clio’s Battles Historiography in Practice JEREMY BLACK To write history is to consider how to explicate the past, to weigh the myriad possible approaches to the past, and to come to terms with how the past can be and has been used. In this book, prize-winning historian Jeremy Black considers both popular and academic approaches to the past. His focus is on the interaction between the presentation of the past and current circumstances, on how history is used to validate one view of the present or to discredit another, and on readings of the past that unite and those that divide. Black opens with an account that underscores the differences and developments in traditions of writing history from the ancient world to the present. Subsequent chapters take up more recent decades, notably the post-Cold War period, discussing how different perspectives can fuel discussions of the past by individuals interested in shaping public opinion or public perceptions of the past. Black then turns to the possible future uses of the then past as a way to gain perspective on how we use the past today. Clio’s Battles is an ambitious account of the engagement with the past across world history and of the clash over the content and interpretation of history and its implications for the present and future.

JEREMY BLACK is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He is author of many books including War and Technology (IUP, 2013), Fighting for America: The Struggle for Mastery in North America, 1519–1871 (IUP, 2011), and War and the Cultural Turn.

GLOBAL STUDIES

“Gille offers a highly original take on globalization processes in Europe . . . Very accessibly written, it should appeal to a wide audience, including those who are interested in globalization, the European Union, Eastern Europe, contemporary social theory, and agrifood studies.”

—Rachel Schurman, author of Fighting for the Future of Food: Activists versus Agribusiness in the Struggle over Biotechnology

Paprika, Foie Gras, and Red Mud The Politics of Materiality in the European Union ZSUZSA GILLE In this original and provocative study, Zsuzsa Gille examines three scandals that have shaken Hungary since it joined the European Union: the 2004 ban on paprika due to contamination, the 2008 boycott of Hungarian foie gras by animal rights activists, and the “red mud” spill of industrial waste in 2010, Hungary’s worst environmental disaster. In each case, Gille analyzes how practices of production and consumption were affected by the proliferation of new standards and regulations that came with entry into the EU. She identifies a new modality of power—the materialization of politics, or achieving political goals with the seemingly apolitical tools of tinkering with technology and infrastructure—and elucidates a new approach to understanding globalization, materiality, and transnational politics.

ZSUZSA GILLE is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

She is author of From the Cult of Waste to the Trash Heap of History: The Politics of Waste in Socialist and Postsocialist Hungary (IUP, 2007), editor (with Maria Todorova) of Post-Communist Nostalgia, and author (with Michael Burawoy et al.) of Global Ethnography: Forces, Connections and Imaginations in a Postmodern World.

ASIA “An original, interdisciplinary, superbly well researched analysis of the PRC under the gun of the global, modern, and Eurocentric ‘IPR regime’ and offers an alternative and to me very compelling way to do cultural studies, bringing the question of culture into relation with the state and nation under globalization.”

—Daniel Vukovich, author of China and Orientation: Western Knowledge Production and the PRC

“Yang offers a ‘best set of practices’ for cultural studies of global processes and artifacts. Here, particular case studies, examples, and contexts of nation-branding and counterfeit culture are closely and carefully described and then expertly analyzed and critiqued. Yang shows that it is in the realm of culture and cultural production that the workings, problems, and contestations of globalization are most clearly enacted.”

—Stephanie DeBoer, Indiana University, author of Coproducing Asia

Faked in China Nation Branding, Counterfeit Culture, and Globalization FAN YANG Faked in China is a critical account of the cultural challenge faced by China following its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001. It traces the interactions between nation branding and counterfeit culture, two manifestations of the globalizing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regime that give rise to competing visions for the nation. Nation branding is a state-sanctioned policy, captured by the slogan “From Made in China to Created in China,” which aims to transform China from a manufacturer of foreign goods into a nation that creates its own IPR-eligible brands. Counterfeit culture is the transnational making, selling, and buying of unauthorized products. This cultural dilemma of the postsocialist state demonstrates the unequal relations of power that persist in contemporary globalization.

FAN YANG is Assistant Professor in the Department of Media and Communication Studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

“An extremely interesting story, deftly told and beautifully written . . . . Makes an important contribution to our understanding of Syrian history.”

—Peter Sluglett, National University of Singapore

“[A] book that will be both immediately valuable to scholars and teachers, and a significant contribution to historical scholarship on the cultural history of modern Syria. . . . In light of the endlessly unfolding tragedy in Syria, this kind of careful historical scholarship is increasingly important, and likely to become unfortunately rare. . . .

—Max Weiss, Princeton University

Syria’s Democratic Years Citizens, Experts, and Media in the 1950s KEVIN W. MARTIN The years 1954–1958 in Syria are popularly known as “The Democratic Years,” a brief period of civilian government before the consolidation of authoritarian rule. Kevin W. Martin provides a cultural history of the period and argues that the authoritarian outcome was anything but inevitable. Examining the flourishing broadcast and print media of the time, he focuses on three public figures, experts whose professions—law, the military, and medicine—projected modernity and modeled the new Arab citizen. This experiment with democracy, however abortive, offers a model of governance from Syria’s historical experience that could serve as an alternative to dictatorship.

KEVIN W. MARTIN is Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures and Adjunct Assistant Professor of History at Indiana University.

“It has long been known that unlike elsewhere in East Central Europe, for census purposes, Jews in Czechoslovakia were recognized as a separate nationality as well as a religious group. Lichtenstein explores the ramification of this distinction for Zionists and their interactions with this state in important study of Jewish nationalism.”

—Harriet Pass Freidenreich, Temple University

Zionists in Interwar Czechoslovakia Minority Nationalism and the Politics of Belonging TATJANA LICHTENSTEIN This book presents an unconventional history of minority nationalism in interwar Eastern Europe. Focusing on an influential group of grassroots activists, Tatjana Lichtenstein uncovers Zionist projects intended to sustain the flourishing Jewish national life in Czechoslovakia. The book shows that Zionism was not an exit strategy for Jews, but as a ticket of admission to the societies they already called home. It explores how and why Zionists envisioned minority nationalism as a way to construct Jews’ belonging and civic equality in Czechoslovakia. By giving voice to the diversity of aspirations within interwar Zionism, the book offers a fresh view of minority nationalism and state building in Eastern Europe.

—Eugene Avrutin, author of Photographing the Jewish Nation: Pictures from S. An-sky’s Ethnographic Expeditions

“I read through this collection with pleasure and fascination. Ethnography is newly of interest to many scholars of Jewish studies, and I am confident that this volume will find an appreciative audience. Indeed the variety here powerfully conveys how many people are interested in ethnography both as a method and as the subject of their analysis. These are valuable voices that should be heard.”

—Gabriella Safran, Stanford University

Going to the People Jews and the Ethnographic Impulse EDITED BY JEFFREY VEIDLINGER Taking S. An-sky’s expeditions to the Pale of Jewish Settlement as its point of departure, the volume explores the dynamic and many-sided nature of ethnographic knowledge and the long and complex history of the production and consumption of Jewish folk traditions. These essays by historians, anthropologists, musicologists, and folklorists showcase some of the finest research in the field. They reveal how the collection, analysis, and preservation of ethnography intersect with questions about the construction and delineation of community, the preservation of Jewishness, the meaning of belief, the significance of retrieving cultural heritage, the politics of accessing and memorializing “lost” cultures, and the problem of narration, among other topics.

“Daniella Doron’s focus on children allows her to see things that prior scholars have missed, particularly the ‘Frenchness’ of the story as well as the concerted effort of French Jewish leaders to influence their own destiny in the period after WWII. Deftly argued and an engaging read.”

—Maud Mandel, author of Muslims and Jews in France: History of a Conflict

“Jewish Youth and Identity in Postwar France tells the story of the Holocaust and its aftermath from a strikingly original vantage point: through the lens of the children who survived. This gripping and powerful history should be read by anyone interested in the history of the Holocaust, the family, and Jews in Modern France.”

—Tara Zahra, University of Chicago

Jewish Youth and Identity in Postwar France Rebuilding Family and Nation DANIELLA DORON At the end of World War II, French Jews faced a devastating demographic reality: thousands of orphaned children, large numbers of single-parent households, and families in emotional and financial distress. Daniella Doron suggests that after years of occupation and collaboration, French Jews and non-Jews held contrary opinions about the future of the nation and the institution of the family. At the center of the disagreement was what was to become of the children. Doron traces emerging notions about the postwar family and its role in strengthening Jewish ethnicity and French republicanism in the shadow of Vichy and the Holocaust.

DANIELLA DORON is Lecturer in Jewish history at Monash University where she teaches courses on modern Jewish history, the Holocaust, and the history of the family.

PHILOSOPHY

“Mjaaland reveals a radical Luther whose break with prior metaphysics sowed the seeds for deep cultural struggles into the future in ways that came to frighten even Luther himself.”

—Paul S. Rowe, Trinity Western University

The Hidden God Luther, Philosophy, and Political Theology MARIUS TIMMANN MJAALAND In this phenomenological reading of Luther, Marius Timmann Mjaaland shows that theological discourse is never philosophically neutral and always politically loaded. Centering his discussion on the theme of destruction, which is important in Luther’s early writings, Mjaaland challenges the familiar notion that theology is a matter of faith and philosophy a matter of reason. By linking Luther to Heidegger, Gadamer, and Derrida, Mjaaland establishes connections between destruction and deconstruction and draws philosophy, politics, and theology together in the light of Luther’s radical critique of religion.

MARIUS TIMMANN MJAALAND is Professor for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Oslo. He is author of Autopsia: Self, Death, and God after Kierkegaard and Derrida.

FOLKLORE

UNESCO on the Ground Local Perspectives on Intangible Cultural Heritage EDITED BY MICHAEL DYLAN FOSTER AND LISA GILMAN For nearly 70 years, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has played a crucial role in developing policies and recommendations for dealing with intangible cultural heritage. What has been the effect of such sweeping global policies on those actually affected by them? How connected is UNESCO with what is happening every day, on the ground, in local communities? Drawing upon six communities from India, South Korea, Malawi, Japan, Macedonia and China, this volume illuminates the complexities and challenges faced by those who find themselves drawn, in different ways, into UNESCO’s orbit. By exploring locally, and looking outward from the inside, the essays show how a normative policy, such as UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage policy, can take on specific associations and inflections. With examples from around the world, and a balance of local experiences with broader perspectives, this volume provides a unique comparative approach to timely questions of tradition and change in a rapidly globalizing world.

ANTHROPOLOGY

“[A] truly pioneering work . . . . [A] fabulous work of anthropology, done with conceptual sophistication and an eye for ethnographic detail that are truly remarkable. Hemment makes a great case for the need to approach Russia not as a ‘basket case’ understandable only on its own terms, but as a polity that shares many of its features . . . with neoliberal states elsewhere.”

—Olga Shevchenko, author of Crisis and the Everyday in Postsocialist Moscow

Youth Politics in Putin’s Russia Producing Patriots and Entrepreneurs JULIE HEMMENT Julie Hemment provides a fresh perspective on the controversial nationalist youth projects that have proliferated in Russia in the Putin era, examining them from the point of view of their participants and offering provocative insights into their origins and significance. The pro-Kremlin organization Nashi (“Ours”) and other state-run initiatives to mobilize Russian youth have been widely reviled in the West, seen as Soviet throwbacks and evidence of Russia’s authoritarian turn. By contrast, Hemment’s detailed ethnographic analysis finds an astute global awareness and a paradoxical kinship with the international democracy-promoting interventions of the 1990s. Drawing on Soviet political forms but responding to 21stcentury disenchantments with the neoliberal state, these projects seek to produce patriots, volunteers, entrepreneurs, and activists.

The Snowden Reader EDITED BY DAVID P. FIDLER FOREWORD BY SUMIT GANGULY When Edward Snowden began leaking NSA documents in June 2013, his actions sparked intense debates about electronic surveillance, national security, and privacy in the digital age.

SCIENCE

“A clear, largely jargon-free retelling of one of the greatest stories in evolution—the rise of vertebrates—that should have broad appeal. It integrates the facts and principles that underlie evolutionary theory by taking a common-sense approach that doesn’t talk down to the reader.”

—Nicholas Geist, Sonoma State University

The Bare Bones An Unconventional Evolutionary History of the Skeleton MATTHEW F. BONNAN What can we learn about the evolution of jaws from a pair of scissors? How does the flight of a tennis ball help explain how fish overcome drag? What do a spacesuit and a chicken egg have in common? Highlighting the fascinating twists and turns of evolution across more than 540 million years, paleobiologist Matthew Bonnan uses everyday objects to explain the emergence and adaptation of the vertebrate skeleton. What can camera lenses tell us about the eyes of marine reptiles? How does understanding what prevents a coffee mug from spilling help us understand the posture of dinosaurs? The answers to these and other intriguing questions illustrate how scientists have pieced together the history of vertebrates from their bare bones. With its engaging and informative text, plus more than 200 illustrative diagrams created by the author, The Bare Bones is an unconventional and reader-friendly introduction to the skeleton as an evolving machine.

MATTHEW F. BONNAN is a Vertebrate Paleontologist and Associate Professor of Biology at Stockton University. Bonnan’s research focuses on the evolution of locomotion in sauropod dinosaurs and the functional morphology of forelimb posture in reptiles, birds, and mammals using traditional anatomy and computer-aided modeling.

PALEONTOLOGY

“Likely to become a landmark reference in dinosaur ichnology. Specialists in the field and workers on the functional morphology of dinosaur locomotion will find a great deal to think about in the work. La Rioja preserves a world-class set of dinosaur tracksites, and making this information available to Anglophone readers performs a great service to the research community.”

—James O. Farlow, editor of The Complete Dinosaur

Dinosaur Footprints and Trackways of Rioja FÉLIX PÉREZ-LORENTE During the Early Cretaceous, lakes, meandering streams, and flood plains covered the region where the current foothills of Rioja now exist. Today the area is known for its wine and for the dozens of sites where footprints and trackways of dinosaurs, amphibians, and even pterosaurs can be seen. The dinosaurs that lived here 120 million years ago left their footsteps imprinted in the mud and moist soil. Now fossilized in rock, they have turned Rioja into one of the most valuable dinosaur footprint sites in all of Europe. Félix PérezLorente and his colleagues have published extensively on the region, mostly in Spanish-language journals.

In this volume, Pérez-Lorente provides an up-to-date synthesis of that research in English. He offers detailed descriptions of the sites, footprints, and trackways, and explains what these prints and tracks can tell us about the animals who made them.

FÉLIX PÉREZ-LORENTE teaches geology at Universidad de La Rioja, Spain.

The Complete Dinosaur Second Edition EDITED BY M. K. BRETT-SURMAN, THOMAS R. HOLTZ, JR., AND JAMES O. FARLOW What do we know about dinosaurs, and how do we know it? How did dinosaurs grow, move, eat, and reproduce? Were they warm-blooded or cold-blooded? How intelligent were they? How are the various groups of dinosaurs related to each other, and to other kinds of living and extinct vertebrates? What can the study of dinosaurs tell us about the process of evolution? And why did typical dinosaurs become extinct? All of these questions, and more, are addressed in the new, expanded, second edition of The Complete Dinosaur. Written by many of the world’s leading experts on the “fearfully great” reptiles, the book’s 45 chapters cover what we have learned about dinosaurs, from the earliest discoveries of dinosaurs to the most recent controversies.

Where scientific contention exists, the editors have let the experts agree to disagree. Copiously illustrated and accessible to all readers from the enthusiastic amateur to the most learned professional paleontologist, The Complete Dinosaur is a feast for serious dinosaur lovers everywhere.

MIDDLE EAST “An essential new contribution in Persian literary studies, ethnolinguistics, and refugee cultural studies worldwide.”

—Margaret A. Mills, Professor Emerita of Persian and Folklore, Ohio State University

“Well beyond its focus on a community of Persian-speaking Afghan intellectuals living in exile in Mashhad, Iran, over the past three decades, The Pearl of Dari offers the reader the precious pearl of a genuine reading and learning experience. Zuzanna Olszewska combines solid scholarship with uplifting sensitivity to create a lively narrative replete with joyful discoveries of genuine personhood, agency, and humanity in the midst of multiple marginalities, an account of growing up amid layer upon layer of tension, bravely defying overwhelming odds.”

—Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, University of Maryland

The Pearl of Dari Poetry and Personhood among Young Afghans in Iran ZUZANNA OLSZEWSKA The Pearl of Dari takes us into the heart of Afghan refugee life in the Islamic Republic of Iran through a rich ethnographic portrait of the circle of poets and intellectuals who make up the “Pearl of Dari” cultural organization. Dari is the name by which the Persian language is known in Afghanistan. Afghan immigrants in Iran, refugees from the Soviet war in Afghanistan, are marginalized and restricted to menial jobs and lowerincome neighborhoods. Ambitious and creative refugee youth have taken to writing poetry to tell their story as a group and to improve their prospects for a better life. At the same time, they are altering the ancient tradition of Persian love poetry by promoting greater individualism in realms such as gender and marriage.

Zuzanna Olszewska offers compelling insights into the social life of poetry in an urban, Middle Eastern setting largely unknown in the West.

—Library Journal (Starred Review)

“A collection of interviews with a who’s who of video game authorities crackling with insight into the medium’s past, present, and future... what a great book! David S. Heineman’s conversations reveal the many dimensions of games as technology, industry, and popular art. This is sure to be essential reading to a wide audience of players, makers, and critics of one of our century’s most defining forms of cultural expression.”

—Michael Newman, author of Video Revolutions: On the History of a Medium

Thinking about Video Games Interviews with the Experts DAVID S. HEINEMAN The growth in popularity and complexity of video games has spurred new interest in how games are developed and in the research and technology behind them. David Heineman brings together some of the most iconic, influential, and interesting voices from across the gaming industry and asks them to weigh in on the past, present, and future of video games. Among them are legendary game designers Nolan Bushnell (Pong) and Eugene Jarvis (Defender), who talk about their history of innovations from the earliest days of the video game industry through to the present; contemporary trailblazers Kellee Santiago (Journey) and Casey Hudson (Mass Effect), who discuss contemporary relationships between those who create games and those who play them; and scholars Ian Bogost (How to Do Things With Videogames) and Edward Castronova (Exodus to the Virtual World), who discuss how to research and write about games in ways that engage a range of audiences. These experts and others offer fascinating perspectives on video games, game studies, gaming culture, and the game industry more broadly.

“A very ambitious book! The range of Marcia Landy’s scholarship and knowledge of film is impressive.”

—Robert Burgoyne, author of Film Nation: Hollywood Looks at U.S. History

“Time, memory, and representation are the key themes of Landy’s volume, which is at once accessible, theoretical, and playful, dealing with cinema in all its forms. This dazzling display of virtuosity is a major work in Landy’s long career. . . . Essential.”

—Choice

Cinema and Counter-History MARCIA LANDY Despite claims about the end of history and the death of cinema, visual media continue to contribute to our understanding of history and history-making. In this book, Marcia Landy argues that rethinking history and memory must take into account shifting conceptions of visual and aural technologies. With the assistance of thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Cinema and Counter-History examines writings and films that challenge prevailing notions of history in order to explore the philosophic, aesthetic, and political stakes of activating the past. Marshaling evidence across European, African, and Asian cinema, Landy engages in a counter-historical project that calls into question the certainty of visual representations and unmoors notions of a history firmly anchored in truth.

MARCIA LANDY is Distinguished Professor of English and Cinema Studies, with a Secondary Appointment in French and Italian, at University of Pittsburgh. She is author of Stardom, Italian Style: Screen Performance and Personality in Italian Cinema (IUP, 2008).

“Tsika makes a convincing case that one cannot fully understand Nollywood without a thorough and rigorous examination of its stars. He offers a complex, powerful, detailed, and engaging consideration of the actors’ performances and films, addressing their many points of intersection with technology, advertising, music, the corporate realm, and various formations of cultural and economic imperialism.”

—Christina Lane, University of Miami

Nollywood Stars Media and Migration in West Africa and the Diaspora NOAH A. TSIKA In this comprehensive study of Nollywood stardom around the world, Noah A. Tsika explores how the industry’s top on-screen talents have helped Nollywood to expand beyond West Africa and into the diaspora to become the second largest film industry in the world. Carrying VHS tapes and DVDs onto airplanes and publicizing new methods of film distribution, the stars are active agents in the global circulation of Nollywood film. From Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s cameo role on VH1’s popular series Hit the Floor to Oge Okoye’s startling impersonation of Lady Gaga, this book follows Nollywood stars from Lagos to London, Ouagadougou, Cannes, Paris, Porto-Novo, Sekondi-Takoradi, Dakar, Accra, Atlanta, Houston, New York, and Los Angeles. Tsika tracks their efforts to integrate into the local entertainment culture, but never to the point of effacing their Nigerian roots.

FILM & MEDIA “By weaving together questions of stardom, genre, and national ideology through groundbreaking archival research, Dr. Reich’s reading of Maciste provides a fantastically rich and exceptional contribution to star studies, Italian studies, and film history.”

—Giorgio Bertellini, editor of Italian Silent Cinema: A Reader

“At long last, this carefully researched, clearly written and theoretically informed star study offers a fascinating and multi-faceted portrait of one of the most intriguing—and heretofore elusive—figures in the history of silent film. Employing a full range of interdisciplinary approaches, together with a thorough examination of archival resources and a masterful synthesis of historical details, Jacqueline Reich’s The Maciste Films of Italian Silent Cinema marks a major contribution to film scholarship.”

—John P. Welle, University of Notre Dame

The Maciste Films of Italian Silent Cinema JACQUELINE REICH Italian film star Bartolomeo Pagano’s “Maciste” played a key role in his nation’s narratives of identity during World War I and after. Jacqueline Reich traces the racial, class, and national transformations undergone by this Italian strongman from African slave in Cabiria (1914), his first film, to bourgeois gentleman, to Alpine soldier of the Great War, to colonial officer in Italy’s African adventures. Reich reveals Maciste as a figure who both reflected classical ideals of masculine beauty and virility (later taken up by Mussolini and used for political purposes) and embodied the model Italian citizen. The 12 films at the center of the book, recently restored and newly accessible to a wider public, together with relevant extra-cinematic materials, provide a rich resource for understanding the spread of discourses on masculinity, and national and racial identities during a turbulent period in Italian history. The volume includes an illustrated appendix documenting the restoration and preservation of these cinematic treasures.

JACQUELINE REICH is Professor of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University. She is author of Beyond the Latin Lover (IUP, 2004) and Re-Viewing Fascism (IUP, 2002).

“A much-needed, provocative intervention in current debates about sexuality, radicalism and the cinema.”

—Garry Watson, author of the Cinema of Mike Leigh

Sex Radical Cinema CAROL SIEGEL In this provocative study of cinematic and televisual representations of “sex radicalism,” Carol Siegel explores how sexually explicit liaisons on film have shaped American cultural visions of sex and sexual politics in the 21st century. Siegel distinguishes between a liberal approach to visual representations, which has overemphasized normative equal opportunity while undervaluing our distinctive erotic selves, and a radical approach to visual representation, which portrays forbidden sexualities and desires. She illustrates how visual media participates in and even drives political policies related to pedophilia, prostitution, interracial relationships, and war. By examining such popular film and television shows as Dr. Strangelove, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and the HBO hits, Sex in the City and Girls, Siegel takes the discussion of radical sex in the movies out of the margins of political discussions and puts it in the center, where, she argues, it has belonged all along.

“A comprehensive, no-holds-barred examination of the portrayal and impact of bisexuality in modern entertainment ... Power, privilege, exploitation, the dominance of monosexuality— no permutation goes unexplored, no bisexual presence goes unmentioned...It’s a passionate, knowledgeable, educational study, drawing from old and new sources alike.”

—Publishers Weekly

A Slant Magazine Top Ten Book in Film-Studies of 2013 Winner, 2014 Lambda Book Awards, bisexual nonfiction category

The B Word Bisexuality in Contemporary Film and Television MARIA SAN FILIPPO Often disguised in public discourse by terms like “gay,” “homoerotic,” “homosocial,” or “queer,” bisexuality is strangely absent from queer studies and virtually untreated in film and media criticism. Maria San Filippo explores the central role bisexuality plays in contemporary screen culture, establishing its importance in representation, marketing, and spectatorship. By examining a variety of media genres including art cinema, sexploitation cinema and vampire films, “bromances,” and series television, San Filippo discovers “missed moments” where bisexual readings of these texts reveal a more malleable notion of subjectivity and eroticism. San Filippo’s work moves beyond the subject of heteronormativity and responds to “compulsory monosexuality,” where it’s not necessarily a couple’s gender that is at issue, but rather that an individual chooses one or the other. The B Word transcends dominant relational formation (gay, straight, or otherwise) and brings a discursive voice to the field of queer and film studies.
