LEAD TITLES The Cancer Stage of Capitalism From Crisis to Cure John McMurtry is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Guelph and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of the multi-volume Philosophy and World Problems, written for the UNESCO Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems, Value Wars (Pluto Press, 2002) and Unequal Freedoms: The Global Market as an Ethical System (1998). In this bold look at the uncontrolled spread of global capitalism, John McMurtry, professor of philosophy at the University of Guelph, develops his analysis of modern capitalism as a cancer. Its invasive growth, he argues, threatens to break down our society's immune system and--if not soon restrained--could reverse all the progress that has been made toward social equity and stability. John McMurtry traces the causes of this global disorder back to the mutating assumptions of market theory that now govern the world's economy. He diagnoses the malaise as a pathologist would a biological cancer, tracking the delinked circuits of the global system's monetised growth as a carcinogenic disorder at the social level of life-organization. In the wide-lensed tradition of Adam Smith, Marx and Keynes, McMurtry cuts across academic disciplines and boundaries to penetrate the inner logic of the system's problems. Far from pessimistic, he argues that the way out of the global crisis is to be found in an evolving substructure of history which provides a common ground of resolution across ethnic and national divisions. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745333137, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2012, 368 pages Pluto

Masters of Disaster The Ten Commandments of Damage Control Christopher Lehane and Mark Fabiani run a crisis communications firm, Fabiani and Lehane, that has represented global Fortune 500 companies, high profile CEOs, elected officials, celebrities and athletes. -Both authors were previously Deputy Campaign Manager for Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000 and Special Counsel to the President during the Clinton administration. Bill Guttentag is a two-time Oscar-winning documentary and feature film writer-producer-director. His 2003 Oscar was for the documentary Twin Towers. Whether you're a politician in the spotlight, a multinational corporation, or just the guy in the corner cubicle who has inadvertantly pushed 'reply all', a crisis is often a make-or-break moment and must be addressed carefully and immediately, since virtually everything is at stake. More and more high-profile executives, companies and publicists are looking for the magic formula that will not only protect them from disaster but deliver them when the worst strikes. Based on work they have done for scandal-dogged clients like Bill Clinton, Goldman Sachs, and Lance Armstrong, Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani show how to get the media on your side, meet your detractors head-on and emerge from a setback looking better than ever. Full of both lively anecdotes and hard-knuckled straight talk, this is a must-read for executives, politicians and anyone else who needs to think fast under the microscope. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230341807, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan From the book: “Simply put, as a general proposition, the failure to honor the principles of survival or apply this commandment of damage control will translate into the failure to master a disaster. A crisis is like a knife fight in a telephone booth. And to come out on top, you will need to become your own Master of Disaster when it comes to the art of damage control.” Quantity

HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY From Gabriel to Lucifer A Cultural History of Angels Valery Rees, School of Economic Science, UK. For sceptics, angels may be no more than metaphors: poetic devices to convey, at least for those with a religious sensibility, an active divine interest in creation. But for others, angels are absolutely real creatures: manifestations of cosmic power with the capacity either to enlighten or annihilate those whose awestruck paths they cross. Valery Rees offers the first comprehensive history of these beautiful, enigmatic and sometimes dangerous beings, whose existence and actions have been charted across the eons of time and civilization. Whether exploring the fevered visions of Ezekiel and biblical cherubim; Persian genii; Arab djinn; Islamic archangels; the austere and haunting icons of Andrei Rublev; or Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire and the more benign idea of the watchful guardian angel, the author shows that the ubiquity of these celestial messengers reveals something profound, if not about God or the devil, then about ourselves: our perennial preoccupation with the transcendent. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9781848853720, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2012, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers

$29.95 Pb ISBN 9780415587334 Publish August 2012 256 pages Routledge NZRP$34.95

The new edition includes the key discoveries made since the first edition, especially from important texts discovered in recent finds of papyri and manuscripts, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey available. Vivian Nutton pays particular attention to the life and work of doctors in communities, links between medicine and magic, and examines the different approaches to medicine across the ancient world. The new edition includes more on Rufus and Galen as well as augmented information on Babylonia, Hellenistic medicine and late antiquity. With recently discovered texts made accessible for the first time, and providing new evidence, this broad exploration challenges currently held perspectives, and proves an invaluable resource for students of both classics and the history of medicine.

The Coptic Christians of Egypt have traditionally been portrayed as a 'beleaguered minority', persecuted in a Muslim majority state and by the threat of political Islam. Vivian Ibrahim presents a vivid and alternative image of the community, examining Coptic agency in the twentieth century through newly discovered Coptic archival sources. She reveals a strong Coptic response to the emergence of political Islam from the 1940s, one that continues to resonate today, and examines how Copts negotiated a role for themselves during the colonial period and in Nasser's Egypt. Dismissing the monolithic portrayal of the community, she highlights the varied Coptic factions and groups that contributed to the identity of the Coptic community in the first half of the twentieth century.

The Ends of History

The Jewish Gospels

Questioning the Stakes of Historical Reason

The Story of Jewish Christ

Amy Swiffen, University of Alberta, Canada and Joshua Nichols.

Guiding us through a rich tapestry of new discoveries and ancient scriptures, The Jewish Gospels makes the powerful case that our conventional understandings of Jesus and of the origins of Christianity are wrong. In Boyarin's scrupulously illustrated account, the coming of the Messiah was fully imagined in the ancient Jewish texts. Jesus, moreover, was embraced by many Jews as this person, and his core teachings were not at all a break from Jewish beliefs and teachings. Jesus and his followers, Boyarin shows, were simply Jewish. What came to be known as Christianity came much later, as religious and political leaders sought to impose a new religious orthodoxy that was not present at the time of Jesus's life. In the vein of Elaine Pagels's The Gnostic Gospels, here is a brilliant new work that will break open some of our culture's most cherished assumptions.

Daniel Boyarin, University of California, USA.

Over two decades ago we were confronted by the end of the Soviet Union that had defined much of the twentieth century. From this particular end, the 'end of history' was proclaimed. Recent events have called this into question: the Arab Spring, the War on Terror, global economic crises, and looming ecological crises. It seems that the history is far from over. Yet, the idea of 'the end' remains, for example, in the question of the future of the American empire, the establishment of a new era of international law, and the resurgence of religion as a dmonant source of political identification. This collection of essays explores 'the end' in various contexts, including art, politics, and the philosophy of time and existence. In different ways, all of the essays address emerging horizons of meaning and reality.

A History of the National Liberal Party

Mark Levene, University of Southampton, USA.

$39.00 Pb ISBN 9781780763736 Publish December 2012 472 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers NZRP$49.00

Most books on genocide consider it primarily as a twentieth-century phenomenon. In The Rise of the West and the Coming of Genocide, Levene argues that this approach fails to grasp its true origins. Genocide developed out of modernity and the striving for the nationstate, both essentially Western experiences. It was European expansion into all hemispheres between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries that provided the main stimulus to its pre-1914 manifestations. One critical outcome, on the cusp of modernity, was the French revolutionary destruction of the Vendee. Levene finishes this volume at the 1914 watershed with the destabilising effects of the 'rise of the West' on older Ottoman, Chinese, Russian and Austrian empires.

A History of the Low Countries

Modernism and Totalitarianism

Second Edition

Rethinking the Intellectual Sources of Nazism and Stalinism, 1945 to the Present

Paul Arblaster, Zuyd University, The Netherlands. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg are three relatively small countries whose contribution to Europe's economic, spiritual and artistic heritage has been immense. Their histories cannot be written in isolation from one another, or from their neighbours. In the first full historical survey of the Benelux area to be written in English, Paul Arblaster describes the whole sweep of the history of the Low Countries, from Roman frontier provinces through to the establishment of the three constitutional monarchies of the present day.

The author argues that conventional theories of totalitarianism are too focused on the state and fail to take note of its ideological trajectory. The book analyses this trajectory, shared by Nazism and Stalinism, the two instances of totalitarianism in its 'classical' form. The ideological trajectory was formed in the interaction of three currents of modernist thought: utopianism, scientism, and revolutionary violence. Developing first of all in the nineteenth century, and in reaction to the Enlightenment mainstream, each of these three currents contributed to the idea of the totalitarian New Man. The book considers a broad range of theoretical positions, including those associated with Cold War liberalism, critical theory. Quantity

Modernism and...

Palgrave Essential Histories

Formed out of a breakaway from the mainstream Liberal party in 1931, the Liberal National party (renamed the 'National Liberal Party' in 1948) preserved a separate identity for almost 40 years. During this time they helped ensure that the Liberals themselves would not return to their former status of a governing party while helping to broaden the electoral appeal of their Conservative allies, contributing significantly to the Tory domination of the British political scene in the middle of the twentieth century. Here, David Dutton shows us for the first time how the National Liberals were a potent force in shaping the evolution of British politics in the middle decades of the twentieth century, before they finally merged with the Conservative party in 1968.

$58.00 Pb ISBN 9780415628693 Publish December 2012 240 pages Routledge NZRP$73.00

This book explores how the mythical and mystical past informs national imaginations. The authors consider how aspects of the past are reinterpreted or reimagined in a variety of ways to give coherence to desired national groupings, or groups aspiring to nationhood and its ‘defence'. The coverage is unusually broad in its historical sweep, dealing with work from prehistory to the contemporary, with a particular emphasis on the period from the eighteenth century to the present. The subject matter includes notions of ancient deities, Druids, Celticity, the archaeological remains of pagan religions, traditional folk tales, racial and religious myths and ethnic politics, and the different types of returns and hauntings that can recycle these ideas in culture.

Orientalism Revisited

Tudor Queenship

Art, Land and Voyage

The Reign of Mary and Elizabeth

Ian Richard Netton, University of Exeter, UK.

Alice Hunt, University of Southampton, UK and Anna Whitelock, University of London, UK.

The publication of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 marks the inception of orientalism as a discourse. Since then, Orientalism has remained highly polemical and has become a widely employed epistemological tool. Three decades on, this volume sets out to survey, analyse and revisit the state of the Orientalist debate, both past and present. The leitmotiv of this book is its emphasis on an intimate connection between art, land and voyage. Orientalist art of all kinds frequently derives from a consideration of the land which is encountered on a voyage or pilgrimage, a relationship which, until now, has received little attention. Through adopting a thematic and prosopographical approach, and attempting to locate the fundamentals of the debate in the historical and cultural contexts in which they arose, this book brings together a diversity of opinions, analyses and arguments.

$45.00 Pb ISBN 9781137281951 Publish December 2012 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan NZRP$57.00

The essays in this volume contribute to a new understanding of the second half of the sixteenth century when England experienced the unprecedented rule of two successive queens regnant. Focusing on a diverse range of issues, from politics and personnel to ceremony and costume, and from a range of perspectives, Tudor Queenship demonstrates that thinking about both queens at the same time can be highly suggestive, and propels us to revise, develop and understand, and to contextualize, traditional interpretations. From what Elizabeth learnt from Mary, assessments of political acumen and the significance of confessional differences this is the first volume to focus on both Mary and Elizabeth, and to consider them as Renaissance monarchs on a European stage.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS Colbert's America Satire and Democracy Sophia A. McClennen is a Professor of Comparative Literature, Spanish, and Women's Studies at the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA, where she directs the Center for Global Studies and the graduate program in Comparative Literature. Is the comedy of Stephen Colbert simply fun or is it powerful political satire? Does it entertain viewers or does it empower them? Or does it teach us that in today's media-saturated world those binaries make no sense? Colbert's America claims that Colbert's satire fosters critical thinking about social issues, encourages active citizenship, and entertains the viewer - all at the same time. The first book to cover the various themes and features of The Colbert Report, Colbert's America offers readers insight into the powerful ways that Colbert's comedy challenges the cult of ignorance that has threatened meaningful public debate and social dialogue since 9/11. The author offers her audience the opporunity to understand the context through which most news is reported and to be critical about it. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781137014726, NZRP$49.95 Publish December 2012, 226 pages Palgrave Macmillan “Colbert’s America is beautifully readable and delightfully smart; rich in examples and conceptual frame.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS Fifty Key Thinkers on Globalization William Coleman, McMaster University, Canada and Dr. Alina Sajed, University of Hong Kong, China.

From the book: “The thinkers in this book point to significant events and changes that mark a profound shift in the world and engage with this by drawing upon the concept of globalization. Some thinkers see these changes as unique in human history, while others view them as an intensification of globalizing processes that have been occuring for centuries. Unique or new variations on old, the changes that have triggered their thinking about the connectedness of the world and their interest in the concept of globalization concern five inter-related domains: capitalism, technology, environmentalism, culture and identity, and governance.”

Israel in the World

Until My Freedom Has Come

Legitimacy and Exceptionalism

The New Intifada in Kashmir

Emanuel Adler, University of Toronto, Canada.

Sanjay Kak is an independent documentary filmmaker whose recent work reflects his interests in ecology, alternatives and resistance politics. His films ‘Jashn-e-Azadi’ (How we celebrate freedom) (about the struggle for Azadi-freedom-in Kashmir), and ‘Words on Water’ (about the struggle against large dams in the Narmada valley in central India), have been widely screened both in India and abroad. ‘Words on Water’ (2003) won Best Long Film prize at the International Festival of Environmental Film & Video, Brazil.

Since independence, Israel has lived with a paradox, needing and seeking legitimacy, understanding, and empathy from the world community while simultaneously also discounting the world. This volume reflects upon Israel's troubled attempts to balance its desire to be different from a world that it simultaneously genuinely needs and that it also wants to be a legitimate member of. Gathering distinguished scholars and public figures, this timely book discusses the causes and consequences of Israel's unsettled relations with the world. With essays ranging from an account of Israel's exile mentality and the cosmopolitanism of suffering to a fragmenting international legal order and whether an authentic religious process can transform religion into a powerful lever for peace, the book's innovative analysis will spark both academic and public debate.

The Politics of Exile

US National Security

Elizabeth Dauphinee, York University, Canada.

Fifth Edition

This book offers a unique insight into the complex encounter of researcher with research subject, in the context of the Bosnian War and its aftermath. Exploring themes of guilt, personal and civilisational, of displaced and fractured identity, of secrets and subterfuge, love and distance and alienation, of moral choice and terror, this work moves beyond mainstream scholarship to provide a compelling work that challenges us to recognise true narrative as an accepted form of writing in international relations. Bringing theory to life and giving a wide range of concepts in international relations a corporeal reality, Dauphinee uses her own experiences to shed light on the often difficult position of new academics and junior researchers and their struggles to get their foot in the intellectual door of the field.

The choices necessary in an increasingly budgetconstrained environment, the broader range of national security issues, and the evolving nature of counterinsurgency doctrine and practice are among the currents that inform the authors' clear presentation and appraisal of US security interests, politics, and processes.

Surveying the whole of the twentieth century in an accessible and clear manner, this book provides an overview and narrative, with analysis, that will serve as an introduction and resource for students of Russian foreign policy in the period, and those who seek to understand the development of modern Russia in an international context.

Donald C. Dahlin is Professor of Political Science and Vice President for Academic Affairs Emeritus at the University of South Dakota, USA.

Beginning with an analysis of the complex relationship between fascism and the postwar extreme right, the book discusses both contemporary parties and the cultural and intellectual influences of the European New Right as well as patterns of socialization and mobilization. It then analyses the effects of a range of factors on the ideological development of right-wing extremism including antiSemitism, Islamophobia, religious extremism and the approach towards Europe (and the European Union). The final sections investigate a number of activist manifestations of the extreme right from youth participation and the white power music scene to transnational rallies, the Internet and football hooliganism.

Henry V

Letters from Albania

John Matusiak, Colchester Royal Grammar School, UK.

The Unpublished Correspondence of Edith Durham,1908-1944

This new biography takes a fresh look at his entire life and nine year reign, and gives a balanced view of Henry, who is traditionally seen as a great hero but has been more recently depicted as an obsessive egotist or, worse, a ruthless warlord. The book locates Henry's style of kingship in the context of the time, and looks at often neglected other figures who influenced and helped him, such as his father and his uncles, Henry and Thomas Beaufort. John Matusiak shows that the situation confronting Henry at the outset of his reign was far more favourable than is often supposed but that he was nonetheless a man of prodigious gifts whose extraordinary achievements in battle left the deepest possible impression upon his contemporaries.

Mary Edith Durham (1863 - 1944) became famous for her anthropological accounts of life in Albania in the early 20th century. Mary Edith Durham fought tirelessly for Albanian independence and her practical help and support for the tribes of northern Albania earned her the title of the 'Queen of the Mountains'. This book contains over 800 previously unpublished letters from Durham in Albania to friends and family back in England, as well as her correspondence with those in positions of authority - diplomats, politicians and journalists. Together, they provide a unique record of a crucial period in Albanian history from the perspective of an extraordinarily active and influential individual.

Painting Canada

John Carlos is an African American former track and field athlete and professional football player, and a founding member of the Olympic Project for Human Rights. He won the bronzemedal in the 200 meters race at the 1968 Summer Olympics, where his Black Power salute on the podium with Tommie Smith caused much political controversy.

Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven Ian Dejardin with contributions by Anna Hudson, Katerina Atanassova, Nils Ohlsen and Marietta Jansen.

Seen around the world, John Carlos and Tommie Smith's Black Power salute on the 1968 Olympic podium sparked controversy and career fallout. Yet their show of defiance remains one of the most iconic images of Olympic history and the Black Power movement. The Australian competitor in the third place, Peter Norman, who was neither black nor American, also wore a human rights badge on his shirt during the ceremony to show his support to the two Americans. Here is the remarkable story of one of the men behind the salute, lifelong activist, John Carlos.

Tom Thomson developed an artistic language that captured the unique qualities of the Canadian landscape - dazzling in colour and in tune with the subtle changing of the seasons. After his untimely death, Thomson's friends organised a memorial exhibition, and followed this up by forming probably the most famous artistic force in Canadian art history: the Group of Seven. Highly revered in Canada, these great artists are virtually unknown outside. This spectacularly illustrated book, arranged according to the geographical areas depicted, with scholarly essays investigating different aspects of the painters' craft, aims to redress that imbalance.

Impending environmental catastrophe, threat of terrorism, viruses both biological and virtual, disease: there seem to be so many reasons to panic today. But what is panic and why does it happen? This book uses a range of literature from sociology, cultural studies and popular psychology to develop an original analysis of panic in contemporary social life. Bringing together academic literature from a range of disciplines, films, novels and current affairs, it encourages thought about why and how we panic - both individually and collectively. Keith Tester explores how cataclysmic events and smaller-scale episodes expose the fragility of our relationships, institutions and expectations. He shows how thinking about panic reveals key aspects of contemporary social, cultural and personal relationships. Panic is a highly readable and incisive introduction to the subject for all those who want to know what panic means and why it is important. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415631068, NZRP$24.95 Publish December 2012, 118 pages Routledge From the book: “According to Smelser: ‘A particular kind of belief must be present in order for panic to occur{...} This belief has a generalized component (anxiety) and a specific or short-circuited component (fear).’”

The Apocalyptic Trinity

Health and Medical Practice in Iran

Thomas J. J. Altizer, State University of New York, USA.

Traditional Culture and Modern Medicine

This audacious book demands nothing less than a radical rethinking of the theology of the Trinity, forcing into question both the residual liberal piety and the conservative faith that still undergird so much of religious studies and theology. Yet at the same time it is a work that returns the Trinity to centrality within Christian theology and existence. The Apocalyptic Trinity seeks to call forth a uniquely Christian Godhead that embodies absolute apocalypse-that very apocalypse originally enacted by Jesus as apocalyptic prophet.

Allopathy is often described as "Western" medicine, the antithesis of homeopathy, yet all medical systems are infused with culturespecific values, ideas and beliefs. Agnes Loeffler's insightful and original book investigates how allopathic knowledge, theories and practice guidelines come to be understood and applied by practitioners in a non-western context. Loeffler describes how the system of allopathic medicine has adapted to local explanations of health and disease and to the economic, social and religio-political realities framing contemporary Iranian life and culture. This approach simultaneously problematizes the view of allopathic medicine as a "Western" entity exerting a hegemonic influence over nonwestern cultures, and provides a rare glimpse of the complexities of modern Iran society exploring the interfaces between culture, health and the experience of illness.

Dirt - and our rituals to eradicate it - are as much a part of our everyday lives as eating, breathing and sleeping. Yet this very fact means that we seldom question what we mean by dirt. What do our attitudes to dirt and cleanliness tell us about ourselves and the societies we live in? This innovative work exposes the interests which underlie everyday conceptions of dirt and reveals how our ideas about it are intimately bound up with issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality and the body. Exploring a wide variety of settings - domestic, urban and rural - it reveals how attitudes to dirt and cleanliness become manifest in surprisingly diverse ways, including the rituals of death and burial; architectural design aesthetics; urban infrastructure and regeneration; film symbolism; and consumer attitudes to food.

Introducing African American Religion offers a creative and unique approach to the history of African American religion. Moving beyond institutional history that dominates other books, this volume provides a reader-friendly depiction of the major issues, themes, and problems confronted by African Americans involved in a variety of traditions. Drawing on cultural developments such as hip hop culture, this book links the language and activities of African American religious experience to the cultural worlds in which African Americans live.

An Introduction for Caregivers

James W. Morris, University of Exeter, UK.

Natalie Kertes Weaver, Ursuline College, USA.

This volume includes a fully annotated translation and Arabic critical edition of one of the earliest surviving Ismaili Shi'i writings, by the famous Yemeni author Ja'far Ibn Mansur al-Yaman (ca. 270-345 All). In addition to being a key source for pre-Fatimid Ismaili history, this book is important for its unique role as the most elaborate example of the narrated dramatic dialogue form in Arabic literature. The work also vividly illustrates the processes by which early esoteric Shi'i ideas and institutions eventually contributed to the evolution of more familiar forms of Sufism in the Islamic West. Finally, Ja'far's reputation as a master of ta'wil (esoteric understanding of the Qur'an) is reflected in the complex integration and existential elaboration of Qur'anic themes illustrated throughout this dialogue.

This book offers a theological foundation for engaging with the realities of suffering and dying. Designed particularly for practical theology students and trainee caregivers, it introduces the spiritual and theological issues raised by suffering and dying. The chapters consider: how Christian theology deals with the problem of suffering and how the Bible treats these difficult issues: post-biblical interpretations of Jesus' suffering and the Cross; modern instances including ecology, poverty, discrimination and war; comparative religious approaches and the depiction in popular culture. Natalie Weaver relates theology to practical issues of caregiving and provides a ‘toolbox' for thinking about suffering and death in a creative and supportive way.

The religious landscape of south Asia is complex and fascinating. While existing literature tends to focus on the majority religions of Hinduism and Buddhism, much less attention is given to Jainism, Sikhism, Islam or Christianity. While not nelecting the majority traditions, this valuable resource also explores the important role which the minority traditions play in the religious life of the subcontinent, covering popular as well as elite expressions of religious faith. By examining the realities of religious life, and the ways in which the traditions are practised on the ground, this book provides an illuminating introduction to Asian religions.

The best-loved and most visited of Italian cities is vividly brought to life in the letters, diaries, and memoirs of travelers from past centuries and by the Florentines themselves. The extracts are as rich as the city itself in their variety and brilliance-here is Boccaccio on the Black Death; Vasari on the building of Giotto's Campanile; an eyewitness account of the installation of Michelangelo's David; the death of Elizabeth Barrett Browning at the Casa Guidi; D.H. Lawrence and Dylan Thomas on twentiethcentury Florentine society; and much more. This concise and lucid history of Florence from its early days, through its zenith as a prosperous city state that, under the Medici family, gave birth to the Renaissance, up to the Arno's devastating flood in 1966, is accompanied by maps, engravings, and useful notes.

Babism and its offshoot Baha'ism first evolved from mainstream Islam in 19th century Iran, in the face of fierce opposition from the Islamic clergy and most Muslims. Baha'ism has continued to expand, spreading out of Iran and across the globe, yet little is known in the West about the codes prescribed by the Bab and revised by Baha'Allah. This comprehensive account of the religious rituals and practices of Babism and Baha'ism provides detailed descriptions of prayer, pilgrimage, the use of talisman, ritual purity, birth marriage and death, festivals and fasting. Including translations of key passages from Arabic and Persian texts, Denis MacEoin presents the complex textual and historical tradition of Babism and Bahai'sm, which makes this book a valuable resource for comparative religion, Islamic and Iranian studies.

Mary answers weird and wonderful questions like: what happens to you when you can’t walk for a year? When you can’t have sex? Or smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles an hour?

The first edition of this book offered one of the first social science analyses of Barack Obama's historic electoral campaigns and early presidency. In this second edition the authors extend that analysis to Obama's service in the presidency and to his second campaign to hold that presidency. Elaborating on the concept of the white racial frame, the authors assess in detail the ways white racial framing was deployed by the principal characters in the electoral campaigns and during Obama's presidency. This book counters many commonsense assumptions about U.S. racial matters, politics, and institutions, particularly the notion that Obama's presidency ushered in a major post-racial era.

An in-depth look at the origins and development of the current financial crisis, from an economist and Washington insider. The author explains how a wide array of financial institutions including mortgage banks, commercial banks, and investment banks - created a credit bubble that supported nonprime mortgage lending and helped to inflate house prices. The near-collapse is shown to be the result of multiple regulatory failures and reckless decisions by financial firms that were less sophisticated than they appeared. The author concludes that significant changes in financial market regulation, especially with respect to firms that are "too big to fail," will be needed to prevent future crises and the damage they cause.

This book argues that the right-wing revolution in the United States has created deepening inequality and will lead to economic catastrophe. The author makes the case that over the past three decades the rich have confiscated wealth and income from the poor and middle class to a far greater extent than many realize, and he explores in detail important but commonly unmeasured dimensions of inequality. He also takes aim at the economics profession, criticizing the analytical blinders that leave economists incapable of seeing the coming crisis.

Essays on Arab Theatre

Investigating the Darker Side of the Small Screen

Eyad Houssami, Yale University, USA; Elias Khoury is a Lebanese writer and public intellectual and Dalia Khamissy, Institut du Monde Arabe, France.

Lorna Jowett, University of Northampton, USA.

This is a beautifully presented collection of essays by writers and artists which traces the history of contemporary Arab theatre and its relationship to social change. This book includes both academic discussions and personal narratives, alongside a number of specially commissioned portraits of contemporary Arab theatre artists. The essays revolve around the legacy of the late Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous, whose monumental plays incited audiences to rise up against tyranny decades ago. This unique book is one of the first English language volumes on Arab theatre. In a highly topical manner following the Arab Spring, it explores cultural practices - from reading plays in a classroom to performing in a security state and directing in theatres, prisons, and international festivals - in times of revolt.

This complete, utterly accessible, sometimes scary new book is the definitive work on TV horror. It shows how this most adaptable of genres has continued to be a part of the broadcast landscape, unsettling audiences and pushing the boundaries of acceptability. The authors demonstrate how TV Horror continues to provoke and terrify audiences by bringing the monstrous and the supernatural into the home, whether through adaptations of Stephen King and classic horror novels, or by reworking the gothic and surrealism in Twin Peaks and Carnivale. They uncover horror in mainstream television from procedural dramas to children's television and, through close analysis of landmark TV auteurs including Rod Serling, Nigel Kneale, Dan Curtis and Stephen Moffat.

In 2005 Orhan Pamuk was charged with "insulting Turkishness" under Article 301-1 of the Turkish penal code. Eighteen months later he was awarded the Nobel Prize. After decades of criticism for wielding a depoliticized pen, Pamuk was cast as a dissident through his trial, an event that underscored his transformation from national literateur to global author. This book examines the literary politics of Orhan Pamuk's novels within the framework of contestations over "Turkishness," Islam, and secularization. Modern literature that confronts representations of the nation-state, or devlet, with those of Ottoman, Islamic, and Sufi contexts, or din, constitutes the "secular blasphemies" that define the politics of the Turkish novel.

Mamma Mia! The Movie was one of the top international box-office hits of its year and the fastest selling DVD in British history. This welcome first book on a twenty-first century cultural phenomenon explores these diverse responses to Mamma Mia!, along with key issues such as the film's representation of female friendship, of maternal and paternal identities and its focus on the older female protagonist, as well as its status as 'jukebox' musical, queer text and products of female auhorship. Empire magazine's critic Ian Nathan concluded his bemused account of the film's unprecedented success by stating: 'Mamma Mia! is not like other films.'. This book aims to explore exactly how and why that is the case.

Shortlisted for the 2011 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Inklings Studies, Tolkien's unparalleled popularity has been largely attributed to his gifts as a storyteller and his thematic currency. But The Lord of the Rings may have become a modern classic for a deeper reason than we've noticed: Tolkien is a first-rate stylist. The Power of Tolkien's Prose illuminates the multifaceted appeal of Tolkien's prose style in dimensions ranging from his fantastic realism to his revitalizing imagery to his dynamic narrative to his expansive characterization to his engaging language. Viewed through the lens of Steve Walker's stylistic appreciation, Tolkien's fiction emerges as a new dimension of perception.

A Streetcar Named Desire/Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Everyday Readers

Thomas P. Adler, Purdue University, USA.

Reading and Popular Culture

“In a time when books are again being redefined by technology, it’s worth recalling they’ve always shaped and been shaped by simple usage in a variety of complex situations. In Everyday Readers, Sydney academic Ian Collinson attempts to answer the simple question “What do people do with books” using a variety of complex methodologies. By interviewing 21 “everyday readers” aged between 20 and 51, Collinson discovered that reading can be a very physical experience and a social rather than a solitary act, and that books are shared, talked about and reinterpreted as part of the everyday fabric of life. “ - The West Australian, July 10th 2012

A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955) are major plays by Tennessee Williams, one of America's most significant dramatists. They both received landmark productions and are widely-studied and performed around the world. The plays have also inspired popular screen adaptations and have generated a body of important and lasting scholarship. In this indispensable Reader's Guide, Thomas P. Adler charts the development of the criticism surrounding both works, from the mid-twentieth century through to the present day, provides a readable assessment of the key debates and issues, examines a range of theoretical approaches from biographical and New Criticism to feminist and queer theory.

HEALTH, LIFESTYLE & SUSTAINABILITY The No-Growth Imperative Creating Sustainable Communities under Ecological Limits to Growth Gabor Zovanyi, Eastern Washington University, USA. More than two decades of mounting evidence confirms that the existing scale of the human enterprise has surpassed global ecological limits to growth. Gabor Zovanyi asserts that anything less than stopping growth would merely slow today's dramatic degradation and destruction of ecosystems and their critical life-support services. The book presents rationales and legally defensible strategies for stopping growth in local jurisdictions, and portrays the viability of no-growth communities by outlining their likely economic, social, political, and physical features. It will serve as a resource for those interested in shifting the focus of planning from growth accommodation to the creation of stable, sustainable communities. $49.95 Pb, ISBN 9780415630153, NZRP$64.95 Publish December 2012, 272 pages Routledge “Gabor Zovanyi, an urban planner, persuasively demolishes the temporizing evasions of managed growth, balanced growth, smart growth, green growth, etc., and logically demonstrates the imperative of no-growth. Many ideas and strategies for implementing no-growth at the local level are insightfully discussed. Well referenced and highly recommended!” - Herman Daly

Social Movements and the Politics of the Environment

Responding to climate change is a profound challenge. This book provides the first critical introduction to these challenges, giving an overview of the science and policy of climate change at the global level and the emergence of climate change as an urban policy issue. It considers the challenges of governing climate change in the city in the context of the changing nature of urban politics, economics, society and infrastructures. It looks at how responses for mitigation and adaptation have emerged within the city, and the implications of climate change for social and environmental justice. Drawing on examples from cities in the north and south, and richly illustrated with detailed case-studies, this book will enable students to understand the potential and limits of addressing climate change at the urban level and to explore the consequences for our future cities.

Historically, religion has been a significant part of many visions of sustainability. Pragmatically, the inclusion of religious values in conservation and development efforts has facilitated relationships between people with different value structures. Despite this, little attention has been paid to the interdependence of sustainability and religion, and no significant comparisons of religious and secular sustainability advocacy. Religion and Sustainability presents the first broad analysis of the spiritual dimensions of sustainabilityoriented social movements. Exploring the similarities and differences between the conceptions of sustainability held by religious, interfaith and secular organizations, the book analyses how religious practice and discourse have impacted on political ideology and process.

Using insights about markets from the new institutional economics, this book sheds light on the institutional history of the emissions trading concept as it has evolved across different contexts. Diplomats, policy experts, academics, and the carbon trading industry currently have a monopoly on knowledge about the intricacies of developing and implementing emissions trading systems (ETS) for environmental control. This book seeks to weaken that monopoly. It makes accessible the policy design and practical implementation aspects of a key tool for fighting climate change. The author analyzes past market-based environmental programs to extract lessons for the future of ETS.

Stakeholder or public participation has become something of a modern mantra employed in all sorts of contexts to give people a voice. This book explores the large and diverse range of participatory methods currently in use, examines the problems and gaps in these methods and sets out an innovative new methodology which overcomes these shortcomings. Uniquely, this method builds from the assumption that it is not just the outputs that matter in participation - it is also the journey. 'Triple Task' is designed to help groups explore their current situation and develop a path by which they can improve their functioning and ultimately make a positive contribution to the lives of others.
