Inside Egypt

A Beginner’s Guide

The Road to Revolution in the Land of the Pharaohs

Laurie Schneider Adams is Professor of Art History at John Jay College, City University of New York. She is the author of A History of Western Art and Looking at Art, and is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Source: Notes in the History of Art.

John R. Bradley is a widely published British correspondent. Based in the Middle East for more than a decade and fluent in Arabic, he is the author of two previous books on the region: Saudi Arabia Exposed, a Foreign Affairs bestseller and Behind the Veil of Vice. He divides his time between Tunis and Cairo.

Art has existed for as long as humankind, but defining it is famously difficult. In this whirlwind tour spanning from prehistory up to the present day and beyond, Laurie Schneider Adams explores how art, and our views on it, have evolved. Delving into fascinating issues such as why some artworks can be so controversial, why a forgery can never be as “good” as the original, and what the future of art may hold, this beautifully crafted introduction provides a definitive overview of Western artistic tradition. Fully illustrated, it uses prominent artworks from all major movements. Also providing a helpful guide to understanding art terminology and to reading artworks for meaning, Art: A Beginner’s Guide is an essential tool for every budding art critic. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851688531, NZRP$29.95 Publish January 2012, 240 pages Oneworld Publications Art Quantity

The government of Egypt banned Inside Egypt in 2008 - the first time a book on Egyptian politics had been banned in the country in decades - and quickly rescinded it after the media firestorm that followed. The book depicts the country before the collapse, and then explores recent events in Egypt and the realisation of the predicted revolution. Through interviews with ordinary Egyptians and extensive travels in the country, Bradley reveals why Egypt was vulnerable to a popular uprising and how it could bring about an Iranian-style theocracy in a country once noted for its plurality and tolerance. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230120662, NZRP$29.95 Publish January 2012, 272 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs Updated Edition!

Evolution

A New Generation Draws the Line

The Story of Life on Earth

“Humanitarian” Intervention and the Standards of the West

Jay Hosler is a professor of biology at Juniata College and the author/illustrator of two graphic novels and several science cartoons. Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon are the illustrators of numerous graphic novels and comic books.

Noam Chomsky is a world renowned linguist and one of America’s foremost social critics. He is Institute Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at M.I.T. He is the author of numerous books published by Pluto Press, including Pirates and Emperors: Old and New, The New Military Humanism: Lessons from Kosovo and Rogue States: The Rule of Force in World Affairs.

Evolution features the same characters introduced in the highly regarded The Stuff of Life: A Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA, now here to explain the fundamentals of the evolution of life on earth. On the heels of explaining to his planetary leader the intricacies of human genetics, the intrepid alien scientist Bloort-183 is charged in this sequel with covering the wider story of evolution. Evolution takes the reader from earth’s primordial soup to the vestigial structures, like the coccyx and the male nipple, of modern humans. Once again, the award-winning illustrations of the Cannons render the complex clear and everything cleverly comedic. And in Hosler, Evolution has an award-winning biology teacher whose science comics have earned him a National Science Foundation grant. $19.95 Pb, ISBN 9780809043118, NZRP$24.95 Publish January 2012, 160 pages Farrar Straus and Giroux Popular Science / Graphic Novel Quantity

How do we understand the ethics of humanitarian intervention in today’s world? After Western intervention in Libya’s civil war this new edition of A New Generation Draws the Line provides timely answers. In a new chapter on Libya Chomsky dissects the meaning of the ‘right to protect’ principle. Other chapters examine the West’s uses and abuses of ‘humanitarian intervention’ including detailed studies of East Timor and Kosovo. The actions of Muammar Gaddafi and the trial of Serbian military commander Ratko Mladic have re-energised narratives about the role of the ‘civilised’ West. In this book, Chomsky deploys his forensic method - asking the difficult questions the West would prefer to avoid. $24.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745332345, NZRP$29.95 Publish January 2012, 184 pages Pluto International Politics Quantity

A Quest for Magic across India

The “Final Solution” in History

Tahir Shah is the author of eleven books observing life in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Arno Mayer is Professor Emeritus of European History at Princeton University.

In search of the magic of India’s legendary Godmen, Tahir Shah is taken on as an apprentice in Calcutta by Hakim Feroze, veteran conjurer and magician extraordinaire. After a long and gruelling initiation, Feroze passes on the secrets of his craft, before sending Shah out to search for magic in the underbelly of the Subcontinent. Inspired by magic’s great illusionists, Shah zigzags a route across the country, encountering skeleton dealers and hangmen, conmen and madmen, godmen and magicians of every kind. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781780760254, NZRP$39.95 Publish January 2012, 336 pages Tauris Parke Paperbacks Travel / Culture

Was the extermination of the Jews part of the Nazi plan from the very start? Arno Mayer demonstrates that, while the Nazis’ anti-Semitism was always virulent, it did not become genocidal until well into the Second World War, when the failure of their massive, all-or-nothing campaign against Russia triggered what they called the “Final Solution.” He details the steps leading up to this enormity, showing how the institutional and ideological frameworks that made it possible evolved, and how both related to the debacle in the eastern theater. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781844677771, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 538 pages Verso History

Muhammad Rashid Rida is among the most influential Muslim thinkers of the modern period and yet, until this book, his writings on religious reform remained unpublished in English. Esteemed academic Simon A. Wood rights this wrong by translating and analysing one of his most important works, The Criticisms of the Christians and the Arguments of Islam. Rida sought to defend Islam and often charged Christianity of its own brand of irrationality. Wood analyses these arguments, showing that Rida’s work cannot be separated from the period of colonial humiliation in which it originated. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851686711, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 248 pages Oneworld Publications Quantity History & Philosophy

In an age of human rights, blasphemy is understood as a failure to respect persons, as insult, defamation, or “advocacy of religious hatred.” The criminalisation of this personal blasphemy has been advanced at the United Nations and upheld by the European Court of Human Rights, which has asserted a universal “right to respect for religious feelings.”But respect demands that we grant each other equal standing in the moral community, not that we never offend. Going beyond the question of free speech versus religion, The Future of Blasphemy defends an ethical model of blasphemy. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441183927, NZRP$39.95 Publish January 2012, 192 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

Exploring the political ideology of Republicanism under the Roman emperors of the first century AD, Sam Wilkinson puts forward the hypothesis that there was indeed opposition to the political structure and ideology of the rulers on the grounds of Republicanism. The book charts how the view of law, morality and behaviour changed under the various Imperial regimes of the first century AD. Uniquely, this book explores how emperors could choose to set their regime in a more Republican or more Imperial manner, thus demonstrating it was possible for both the opposition and an emperor to be Republican. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441120526, NZRP$72.00 Publish January 2012, 272 pages Continuum Quantity History & Philosophy

World War II marked a pivotal point in the history of Cyprus, yet surprisingly, this period of the island’s history has been little studied to date. Anastasia Yiangou here provides the first major study of the impact of World War II on the political development of Cyprus. In doing so she traces shifting Cypriot attitudes to the war and the formation of a triangular conflict in the island between the Left, Right and British colonial power. She explains how the British and Cypriots fought a war alongside each other, yet remained far apart in discussions on the future of the island. $58.00 Pb, ISBN 9781780761336, NZRP$73.00 Publish January 2012, 272 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity History & Philosophy

The second half of the nineteenth and the early years of the twentieth century saw a growing preoccupation with sexual perversion: in particular homosexuality, sadism, masochism, fetishism, voyeurism and exhibitionism. Charting the intellectual history of the construction of the perversions in German, French and English sexology in this period, Anna Schaffner explores the decisive role played by literary representations of deviant sexualities in the formation of sexological knowledge. Schaffner illuminates the pivotal role these modernists played in re-evaluating the perversions and paving the way for the transformation of the idea of sexual deviance into that of sexual difference. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230231634, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity History & Philosophy

What They Are Saying to Us, and Why It Matters

How the U.S., Iran and Saudi Arabia Changed the Balance of Power in the Middle East

James Zogby, Arab American Institute, USA.

Andrew Scott Cooper has worked for the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, Working Assets, and other nonprofit organisations.

Despite increasing exchanges between the West and the Arab world, even top American political leaders have only limited awareness of the realities and complexities of their counterparts. Arab Voices asks the questions, collects the answers, and shares the results that will help us see Arabs clearly, bringing into stark relief the myths, assumptions, and biases that hold us back from understanding these important people and their various cultures. $26.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230120686, NZRP$32.00 Publish January 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

This book analyzes the discourses and deliberations in the discussion forums of three of the most visited Islamic websites. In doing so, it explores the potential impact of the Islamic public sphere, and the re-configuration of the ‘virtual umma’ online, on the creation of multiple identities and resistances, which manifest themselves through various Islamic sites, producing varying degrees of consensus, divergence, and negotiation in multiple contexts and across different discourses. $42.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230338159, NZRP$53.00 Publish January 2012, 288 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

The Lost Majority

Mark J. Rozell, George Mason University, USA. For years, leading scholars have largely ignored the religious factor in their studies of US presidents. Yet, as the essays in this book reveal, religion has had an enormous impact on many critical presidencies in US history. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, these essays reveal the deeply religious side to such presidents as Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan, among others. $42.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230120792, NZRP$53.00 Publish January 2012, 264 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics

Sean Trende, RealClearPolitics.com, USA. Sean Trende explores the underlying weaknesses of the Democratic promise of recent years, and shows how unlikely a new era of liberal values always was as demonstrated by the current backlash against unions and other Democratic pillars. Trende shows how elusive a true and lasting majority is in today's climate, how Democrats can make up for the ground they've lost, and how Republicans can regain power and credibility. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230116467, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

Palestinians in Israel considers a key issue ignored by the official 'peace process' and most mainstream commentators: that of the growing Palestinian minority within Israel itself. What the Israeli right-wing calls 'the demographic problem' Ben White identifies as 'the democratic problem'. Israel defines itself not as a state of its citizens, but as a Jewish state, desptie the substantial and increasing Palestinian population. White demonstrates how the consistent privileging of one ethno-religious group over another is not compatible with democratic value and that, unless addressed, will undermine any attempts to find a lasting peace. $34.00 Pb, ISBN 9780745332284, NZRP$43.00 Publish January 2012, 144 pages Pluto Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

Religion and the American Presidency

Why the Future of Government Is Up for Grabs - and Who Will Take It

Australian Author

The Oil Kings offers the first inside look at how an oil crisis was manipulated by Alan Greenspan, Donald Rumsfeld, and President Ford (hoping to secure his re-election), helping to precipitate the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979. Andrew Scott Cooper reveals the fatal struggle between the “oil kings”, both Middle-Eastern and American, as they jockeyed for power, playing games that led directly to the rise of Iran’s radical anti-American theocracy, which still exists today. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9781851688609, NZRP$39.95 Published September 2011, 416 pages Oneworld Publications Quantity Current Affairs & Politics

This book considers the implications, consequences, opportunities and constraints faced when mission and development endeavours coincide. This is explored from various perspectives, including that of history, theology and those involved in mission work and missionary organizations. The work of missionaries has often involved the provision of basic welfare services that in many parts of the world predate the interventions undertaken by ‘professional’ secular aid workers. Are missionaries doing development work or is development a critical aspect of mission? $53.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441108111, NZRP$67.00 Publish January 2012, 192 pages Continuum Current Affairs & Politics Quantity

Bernard Brodie (1910-1978) was a leading 20th century theorist and philosopher of war. A key architect of American nuclear strategy, Brodie was one of the first civilian defense intellectuals to cross over into the military world. State of Doom explores Brodie’s evolution as a theorist and his response to the technological innovations that transformed warfare from WWII to the Vietnam War. It situates his theoretical development within the classical theories of Carl von Clausewitz (17801831), as Brodie came to be known as “America’s Clausewitz.” $64.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441124623, NZRP$81.00 Publish January 2012, 480 pages Continuum Quantity Current Affairs & Politics


Verso Radical Thinkers Introducing Verso's Radical Thinkers Set 6 What is a radical thinker? The word radical comes from the Latin radix, meaning ‘root’: it means to cut right to the core. A radical thinker therefore is anybody involved with the fundamentals of their material, who changes the way we think about the world, and challenges the way we think it should be. And when the time for action comes, radical thinkers develop and propagate practical methods of overturning the status quo. By questioning our deep-rooted views on ourselves and society, radical thinkers compel us to rethink who we are, how we want to live our lives, and how we want the world to be.

Soldier of Arabia

The Commander of the Pacific Ocean Theater

A British Military Memoir from Jordan to Saudi Arabia

Brayton Harris is a retired navy captain, and the author of numerous books.

Nigel Bromage has played an integral role in SaudBritish relations.

Chester Nimitz was an admiral’s Admiral, considered by many to be the greatest naval leader of the last century. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Nimitz assembled the forces, selected the leaders, and led the charge one island at a time, one battle at a time, toward victory. And he was there to accept the surrender of the Japanese aboard the battleship USS Missouri in August 1945. Brayton Harris uses long-overlooked files and recently declassified documents to bring to life one of America’s greatest wartime heroes. $34.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230107656, NZRP$44.95 Publish January 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Biography

Why does an officer in an elite regiment exchange a prestigious and privileged career in the British Army for service among desert tribes in harsh and unforgiving territory, and in the seemingly insoluble conflict of the turbulent Arab world? The answer lies in the long tradition of British military officers attracted by the romance and adventure engendered by a perceived British imperial notion of bringing peace and security to this troubled region. Nigel Bromage’s adventurous career, which spanned over 30 years, much of it in the Middle East, characterised all aspects of this relationship. $59.95 Hb, ISBN 9781780760827, NZRP$79.95 Publish January 2012, 224 pages Quantity I.B.Tauris Publishers Memoir

Chile’s Fight for a Peaceful and Prosperous Future

Bill Yenne is the author of over three dozen books on historical topics.

Ricardo Lagos was president of Chile from 2000 to 2006.

No ancient ruler inspired more legends than Julius Caesar. Under his leadership, Rome conquered territory throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, reaching the North Sea and conducting the first Roman invasion of Great Britain. Yet, in addition to his commanding leadership of Roman troops, Caesar was also a gifted orator and skilled politician who successfully maneuvered within the most complex and well-established bureaucratic system in the world.

Ricardo Lagos has been shaping the future of Chile for over five decades. A leader in the underground resistance movement against Augusto Pinochet and his Dirty War, Lagos exploded onto the national stage in 1988 when he gave a speech denouncing the dictator, the first of its kind. Revolution soon followed as Chileans took to the streets in one of the first oustings of a criminal dictator in history. In The Southern Tiger, Lagos shares the story of Chile’s journey from terror and repression to a thriving open society during his presidency. $39.95 Hb, ISBN 9780230338166, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Memoir

William Henry Harrison died just thirty-one days after taking the oath of office in 1841. Today he is a curiosity in American history, but as Gail Collins shows in this entertaining and revelatory biography, he and his career are worth a closer look. Collins takes us back to the pivotal year of 1840, when Harrison’s “Log Cabin and Hard Cider” campaign transformed the way candidates pursued the presidency. It was the first campaign that featured mass rallies, personal appearances by the candidate, and catchy campaign slogans like “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too.” Harrison’s victory marked the comingof-age of a new political system, and its impact is still felt in American politics today. $29.95 Pb, ISBN 9780805091182, NZRP$39.95 Publish January 2012, 176 pages Henry Holt and Company Quantity Biography

Is it possible that a prison's gangs, racial tensions, and underground economy may actually serve to make it a less dangerous place? In this examination of violence behind bars, Rebecca Trammell illuminates the social code that prisoners enforce - in defiance of official rules and regulations to maintain a predictable order. Trammell also compares the experiences of male and female prisoners, underscoring the role of gender and sexual assault in shaping life behind bars. Equally important, she explores the significance of prison culture for the fate of convicts when they leave the prison environment. $75.00 Hb, ISBN 9781588268082, NZRP$95.00 Publish January 2012, 160 pages Lynne Rienner Society & Culture Quantity

Many economists, Marxists among them, have dismissed this theory, but Andrew Kliman's data analysis shows that the rate of profit did decline after the post-World War II boom and that freemarket policies failed to reverse the decline. The fall in profitability led to sluggish investment and growth, mounting debt problems and ultimately the Great Recession. Kliman's conclusion is simple but shocking: Short of socialist transformation, the only way to escape from a stagnant, crisis-prone economy is by restoring profitability through fullscale destruction of capital. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780745332390, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 256 pages Pluto Quantity Business & Economics

Nariman Skakov, Stanford University, UK.

Now in Paperback!

The phenomenon of time was a central preoccupation of Tarkovsky throughout his career. His films present visions of time by temporal means - that is, in time. Tarkovsky does not represent time through coherent argument, Nariman Skakov proposes, rather he presents it and the viewer experiences the argument. This book explores the phenomenon of spatiotemporal lapse in Tarkovsky’s cinema - from Ivan’s Childhood (1962) to Sacrifice (1986). Each chapter is dedicated to the discussion of one of Tarkovsky’s seven feature films and in each, one of these phenomena functions as a refrain. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781848856301, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 288 pages I.B.Tauris Publishers Quantity The Arts

The Films of Stephen King

The Perils of Moviegoing in America

From Carrie to The Mist

1896-1950

Tony Magistrale, University of Vermont, USA.

Gary D. Rhodes, Queen’s University of Belfast, UK.

The first collection of essays assembled on the cinematic adaptations of Stephen King and written by cinema, television, and cultural studies scholars, this work examines the most important films from the King canon, from Carrie to The Shining to The Shawshank Redemption. Over seventy-five films have been made based either on Stephen King narratives or screen/teleplay scripts that King himself authored, yet this body of work has received very little scholarly attention. $36.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230338302, NZRP$46.00 Publish January 2012, 240 pages Palgrave Macmillan The Arts

During the first fifty years of the American cinema, the act of going to the movies was a risky process, fraught with a number of possible physical and moral dangers. Film fires were rampant, claiming many lives, as were movie theatre robberies, which became particularly common during the Great Depression. Labor disputes provoked a large number of movie theatre bombings, while low-level criminals like murderers, molesters, and prostitutes plied their trades in the darkened auditoriums. The Perils of Moviegoing in America: 1896-1950 provides the first history of the many threats that faced film audiences, threats which claimed hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441136107, NZRP$58.00 Publish January 2012, 352 pages Continuum Quantity The Arts

The Worlds of Doctor Who

Joe Bonomo, Northern Illinois University, UK.

By now it’s an old story, bearing in this case the imagery of trashy southern culture, a sinning young man, and the myth of the commercial rise-and-fall. The story of Louisiana hellcat Jerry Lee Lewis and his 1958 wedding scandal - it was discovered that at 22 he’d married his 13-year old second cousin, Myra, before he was divorced from his second wife - took precedence long ago over the man himself and the music he makes. Joe Bonomo deigns to let others focus on the scandal and delves more deeply into the accidental intersection between fading American Rockabilly and the ascending Beatlemaina, bringing Jerry Lee Lewis to life in new and fascinating ways. $22.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441118806, NZRP$29.95 Publish January 2012, 224 pages Continuum Quantity The Arts

A Grammar and Workbook

William Stephenson, University of Chester, UK.

Shoko Hamano and Takae Tsujioka.

Gonzo Republic looks at Hunter S. Thompson’s complex relationship with America. Thompson was a patriot but also a stubborn individualist. Stephenson examines the whole range of Thompson’s work, from his early reporting from the South American client states of the USA in the 1960s to his twenty-first-century internet columns on sport, politics and 9/11. Stephenson argues that Thompson inhabited, but was to some extent reacting against, a core tradition of American individualism. Stephenson analyses Thompson’s relationship to issues such as drugs, the counterculture; politics; celebrity; the American Dream; sexuality; ethnicity and nationalism. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781441159229, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 192 pages Continuum Quantity Literature

The Making of London

Diario de un Combatiente

London in Contemporary Literature

Sierra Maestra - Santa Clara, 1956-1958

Sebastian Groes, Roehampton University, UK. London has become the focus of a ferocious imaginative energy since the rise of Thatcher. The Making of London analyses the body of exceptional work by writers who have unconditionally committed their writing to the many lives of a city undergoing complex transformations. The book traces a major shift in the representation of the capital city, from the postmodern obsession with textuality, the shoring up of London’s myths against a declining social fabric, and an exuberant multicultural utopia, to an anxious post-9/11 metropolis that has fallen apart. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230348363, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 336 pages Palgrave Macmillan Literature

This is the never-before published diary Che Guevara kept during the guerrilla war in Cuba when he joined the struggle to overthrow the Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 revolution. Che’s widow Aleida March has now meticulously transcribed for the first time the small notebooks in which Che recorded his comments on events and individuals, often with a devastatingly brutal frankness.

The Beat Generation writers and artists are typically identified as an American movement. Yet travel, Buddhism, drug experimentation, and European surrealism and romanticism were an integral part of the ethos behind the movement. This collection of essays will map writers such as Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti globally and explore parallel movements and writers in other countries. Incorporating contemporary theories of globalization and transnationalism, this insightful book provides a more nuanced understanding of both the Beats and America. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9780230108417, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 256 pages Palgrave Macmillan Literature Quantity

This book is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the way in which Muslims are represented within modern English writing, ranging from the novel, through memoir and travel writing to journalism. Covering a wide range of texts and authors, it scrutinises the identity ‘Muslim’ by looking at its inscription in recent and contemporary literary writing within the context of significant events like the Rushdie Affair and 9/11. Examining the wide range of writing internationally that takes Islam or Islamic cultures as its focus, the author discusses the representation of Muslim identity in writing by non-Muslim writers, former Muslim ‘native informants’, and practising Muslims. $46.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441136664, NZRP$58.00 Publish January 2012, 160 pages Continuum Literature Quantity

Andy Blunden is an independent scholar in Melbourne, Australia.

How can health-access advocates beat the wealthy pharmaceutical industry, which has the biggest spending lobby in Washington? Ramón Castellblanch provides a ringside seat at the battle as he reveals how activists in Vermont, Maine, and California took on Big Pharma in their state legislatures to promote better and cheaper access to prescription drugs-and ultimately pushed Congress to enact a Medicare prescription drug benefit. $79.95 Hb, ISBN 9781935049456, NZRP$110.00 Publish January 2012, 275 pages Lynne Rienner Health & Lifestyle

Andy Blunden presents an immanent critique of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory, the current of psychology originating from Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). Tracing the roots of this theory from Goethe, Hegel and Marx, the author draws out the principles with which Vygotsky developed a theory of the mind in which the individual and their social situation form a single Gestalt, transcending the problems of mind-body dualism. Blunden follows the efforts of later members of the School to resolve outstanding problems in Vygotsky’s work. $39.95 Pb, ISBN 9781608461455, NZRP$49.95 Publish January 2012, 346 pages Haymarket Books Health & Lifestyle
