LBJ’s 1968 Power, Politics, and the Presidency in America’s Year of Upheaval Kyle Longley

US publication February 2018 UK publication April 2018

228 x 152 mm 374pp 12 b/w illus.

978-1-107-19303-1 Hardback £23.99 / US$29.99

KEY FEATURES • Analyzes the crisis management style of one of America’s well-known presidents, Lyndon Baines Johnson

1968 was an unprecedented year in terms of upheaval on numerous scales: political, military, economic, social, and cultural. In the United States, perhaps no one was more undone by the events of 1968 than President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Kyle Longley leads his readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of what Johnson characterized as the ‘year of a continuous nightmare’. Longley explores how LBJ perceived the most significant events of 1968, including the Vietnam War, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr and Robert Kennedy, and the violent Democratic National Convention in Chicago. His responses to the crises were sometimes effective but often tragic, and LBJ’s refusal to seek re-election underscores his recognition of the challenges facing the country in 1968. As much a biography of a single year as it is of LBJ, LBJ’s 1968 vividly captures the tumult that dominated the headlines on a local and global level.

Kyle Longley is the Snell Family Dean’s Distinguished Professor of History and Political Science at Arizona State University. He is the author of numerous books, including In the Eagle’s Shadow: The United States and Latin America (2002), Senator Albert Gore, Sr (2004), and The Morenci Marines: A Tale of a Small Town and the Vietnam War (2015).

• Features modern continuities in policymaking and political discourse, providing readers with a better understanding of the ongoing debates in today’s political sphere • Highlights the challenges facing a president after five years of almost non-stop change and a rising conservative backlash

Termites of the State Why Complexity Leads to Inequality Vito Tanzi

US publication December 2017 UK publication February 2018

228 x 152 mm 438pp 978-1-108-42093-8 Hardback £22.99 / US$29.99

KEY FEATURES • An original and broad-ranging account by one of the world’s leading economists and public policy experts • Accessibly written for general readers • Provides rich historical context for such macro trends as increasing government intervention in markets, rising inequality, and populist political sentiment

37195.indd 4

In Termites of the State, renowned public economist Vito Tanzi presents a sweeping account of the industrialized world’s economic development during the twentieth century to today. In the tradition of grand economic histories, Tanzi connects the biggest issues of the modern world including extreme gaps in income distribution, increasing complexity of government actions and regulations, and asymmetry of access to information and to political influence between the elite and the rest of society. Part one covers the growth of state intervention since the early twentieth century – a time before income taxes, central banks, or social welfare programs.

Part two investigates how and why laws and regulations have expanded in industrialized economies. Part three, building from this foundation, explains the forces behind the precipitous rise in global inequality. With a talent for clear, nontechnical writing, Tanzi has produced a landmark work that will make us rethink the role of the public sector in modern economics.

Vito Tanzi, an economist of international renown, served for twenty years as Director of the Fiscal Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund in Washington, DC with which he was affiliated for nearly three decades. Dr Tanzi is the author or editor of over twentyfive books, including Government Versus Markets (2011) and Public Spending in the 20th Century (2000, with Ludger Schuknecht). A former Undersecretary for Economy and Finance of the Italian Government, he was President of the International Institute of Public Finance (IIPF) from 1990 to 1994. Dr Tanzi is known for the Tanzi effect, or Olivera–Tanzi effect, which refers to the diminished real value of tax revenues in periods of high inflation due to collection lags. He has served as a consultant to the World Bank and the United Nations, and previously taught at George Washington University, Washington, DC, and American University, Washington, DC.

KEY FEATURES • Examines how babies shaped American culture in the twentieth century

Placing babies’ lives at the center of her narrative, historian Janet Golden analyzes the dramatic transformations in the lives of American babies during the twentieth century. She examines how babies shaped American society and culture, and led their families into the modern world to become more accepting of scientific medicine and active consumers, open to new theories of human psychological development, and welcoming of government advice and programs. Importantly Golden also connects the reduction in infant mortality to the increasing privatization of American lives. Furthermore, she examines the influence of cultural traditions and religious practices upon the diversity of infant lives, exploring the ways class, race, region, gender, and community shaped life in the nursery and household.

Janet Golden is Professor of History at Rutgers University, Camden. She is the author of several articles and books, including Message in a Bottle: The Making of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (2006).

Most of us at some point in our lives will be struck by major traumas such as the sudden death of a loved one, a debilitating disease, an assault, or a natural disaster. Resilience refers to the ability to ‘bounce back’ after encountering difficulty. This book provides a guide to building emotional, mental, and physical resilience by presenting ten factors to help anyone become more resilient to life’s challenges. Specific resilience factors such as facing fear, optimism, and social support are described through the experiences and personal reflections of highly resilient survivors. These survivors also describe real-life methods for practicing and benefiting from the resilience factors. As resilience is the complex product of genetic, psychological, biological, social, and spiritual factors, the authors investigate resilience from multiple scientific perspectives. They synthesize the latest literature on the topic, describe their own research on resilience, and quote from their interviews with highly resilient people.

At War’s Summit The Red Army and the Struggle for the Caucasus Mountains in World War II Alexander Statiev

UK publication June 2018 US publication August 2018

228 x 152 mm 462pp 978-1-108-42462-2 Hardback £26.99 / US$34.99

KEY FEATURES • The first ever academic study of the battle in the Caucasus mountains written in any language

This is the story of the highest battlefield of World War Two, which brings to life the extremes endured during this harsh mountain warfare. When the German war machine began faltering from a shortage of oil after the failed Blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, the Wehrmacht launched Operation Edelweiss in the summer of 1942, a bold attempt to capture the Soviet oilfields of Grozny and Baku and open the way to securing the vast reserves of Middle Eastern oil. Hitler viewed this campaign as the key to victory in World War Two. Mountain warfare requires unique skills: climbing and survival techniques, unconventional logistical and medical arrangements, and knowledge of ballistics at high altitudes. The Main Caucasus Ridge became the battleground that saw the elite German mountain divisions clash with the untrained soldiers of the Red Army, as they fought each other, the weather and the terrain.

Alexander Statiev is Associate Professor of History at the University of Waterloo, Ontario. His extensive experience in mountain trekking, white water rafting and ski expeditions across five continents helped him assess the challenges to military actions in the mountains described in this book.

• The book’s focus on the skills needed to conduct a military campaign in the mountains will appeal to both historians and outdoor enthusiasts • It is the first book to integrate material from both Russian and German archives, covering both sides of the conflict

Stand Out of Our Light Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy James Williams Former Google advertising executive, now Oxford-trained philosopher James Williams launches a plea to society and to the tech industry to help ensure that the technology we all carry with us every day does not distract us from pursuing our true goals in life. As information becomes ever more plentiful, the resource that is becoming more scarce becomes our attention. In this ‘attention economy’, we need to recognise the fundamental impacts of our new information environment on our lives in order to take back control. Drawing on insights ranging from Diogenes to contemporary tech leaders, Williams’s thoughtful and impassioned analysis is sure to provoke discussion and debate.

My Opposition The Diary of Friedrich Kellner - A German against the Third Reich Friedrich Kellner Edited and translated by Robert Scott Kellner

UK / US publication January 2018

228 x 152 mm 520pp 53 b/w illus.

978-1-108-41829-4 Hardback £27.99 / US$34.99

KEY FEATURES • A remarkable first-hand account of everyday life under National Socialism during the Second World War which documents just how widespread awareness was of the unfolding of the Holocaust

This is a truly unique account of Nazi Germany at war and of one man’s struggle against totalitarianism. A mid-level official in a provincial town, Friedrich Kellner kept a secret diary from 1939 to 1945, risking his life to record Germany’s path to dictatorship and genocide and to protest his countrymen’s complicity in the regime’s brutalities. Just one month into the war he is aware that Jews are marked for extermination and later records how soldiers on leave spoke openly about the mass murder of Jews and the murder of POWs; he also documents the Gestapo’s merciless rule at home from euthanasia campaigns against the handicapped and mentally ill to the execution of anyone found listening to foreign broadcasts. This essential testimony of everyday life under the Third Reich is accompanied by a foreword by Alan Steinweis and the remarkable story of how the diary was brought to light by Robert Scott Kellner, Friedrich’s grandson.

Robert Scott Kellner discovered his grandfather’s diary in 1960 and has worked tirelessly to bring it to the attention of the world through exhibits at the Dwight D. Eisenhower and George H. W. Bush Presidential Libraries, a documentary film screened at the United Nations, and the publication of a complete edition of the diary in German and abridgments in both Russian and Polish.

• A timeless portrayal of an individual’s struggle against totalitarianism which still resonates today • Includes the dramatic story of the Kellner family and of how the diary was brought to light by Robert Scott Kellner, Friedrich’s grandson

Storied Ground Landscape and the Shaping of English National Identity Paul Readman

UK publication February 2018 US publication April 2018

228 x 152 mm 336pp 40 b/w illus.

978-1-108-42473-8 Hardback £24.99 / US$32.99

KEY FEATURES • Seeks to explain the roots of modern English national identity through a novel case study approach, using familiar and iconic landscapes such as the White Cliffs of Dover and the River Thames

People have always attached meaning to the landscape that surrounds them. In Storied Ground Paul Readman uncovers why landscape matters so much to the English people, exploring its particular importance in shaping English national identity amid the transformations of modernity. The book takes us from the fells of the Lake District to the uplands of Northumberland; and from the streetscapes of industrial Manchester to the heart of London. This panoramic journey reveals the significance, not only of the physical characteristics of landscapes but also of the sense of the past, collective memories and cultural traditions that give these places their meaning. Between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, Englishness extended far beyond the pastoral idyll of chocolate-box thatched cottages, waving fields of corn and quaint country churches. It was found in diverse locations – urban as well as rural, north as well as south – and it took strikingly diverse forms.

Paul Readman is Professor of Modern British History at King’s College London. He is author of Land and Nation: Patriotism, National Identity and the Politics of Land (2008). His other publications include, as co-editor, The Land Question in Britain (2010), Borderlands in World History, 1700–1914 (2014) and Walking Histories, 1800–1914 (2016), as well as many articles and essays. As a keen walker and perpetual tourist, he has a long-standing interest in the diverse ways that human experience shapes, and is shaped by, landscape and place.

• The writing style is lively and accessible, appealing to a wide range of readers • The book has a broad chronological coverage and uses extensive illustrations to help readers visualise the places and cultural artefacts discussed in the text

The Fed and Lehman Brothers Setting the Record Straight on a Financial Disaster Laurence M. Ball

US publication April 2018 UK publication June 2018

228 x 152 mm 200pp 6 b/w illus.

978-1-108-42096-9 Hardback c. £18.99 / c. US$22.99

The bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers was the pivotal event of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed. Ever since the bankruptcy, there has been heated debate about why the Federal Reserve did not rescue Lehman in the same way it rescued other financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns and AIG. The Fed’s leaders from that time, especially former Chairman Ben Bernanke, have strongly asserted that they lacked the legal authority to save Lehman because it did not have adequate collateral for the loan it needed to survive. Based on a meticulous four-year study of the Lehman case, The Fed and Lehman Brothers debunks the official narrative of the crisis. It shows that in reality, the Fed could have rescued Lehman but officials chose not to because of political pressures and because they underestimated the damage that the bankruptcy would do to the economy. The compelling story of the Lehman collapse will interest anyone who cares about what caused the financial crisis, whether the leaders of the Federal Reserve have given accurate accounts of their actions, and how the Fed can prevent future financial disasters.

KEY FEATURES • Debunks the explanations of Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, and other Fed officials for their actions during the crisis • Corrects the record on the key moment of the 2008 financial crisis and the largest bankruptcy in US history

Laurence M. Ball is Professor of Economics at The Johns Hopkins University. He has previously worked as a Visiting Scholar at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, at foreign central banks including the Bank of England and Bank of Japan, and at the International Monetary Fund. His current research topics include the long-term damage from the Great Recession and the case for raising central banks’ inflation targets to four percent.

• Presents the compelling story of the weekend of September 15th, 2008 when Lehman Brothers was forced to file for bankruptcy

The 1975 Referendum and Seventies Britain Robert Saunders

UK publication March 2018 US publication May 2018

228 x 152 mm 530pp 34 b/w illus.

978-1-108-42535-3 Hardback £24.99 / US$32.99

KEY FEATURES • Provides the first in-depth historical treatment of the 1975 referendum, linking it with the Brexit debate and how we got where we are today

On 5th June 1975, voters went to the polls in Britain’s first national referendum to decide whether the UK should remain in the European Community. As in 2016, the campaign shattered old political allegiances and triggered a far-reaching debate on Britain’s place in the world. The campaign to stay in stretched from the Conservative Party – under its new leader, Margaret Thatcher – to the Labour government, the farming unions and the Confederation of British Industry. Those fighting to ‘Get Britain Out’ ranged from Enoch Powell and Tony Benn to Scottish and Welsh nationalists. Footballers, actors and celebrities joined the campaign trail, as did clergymen, students, women’s groups and paramilitaries. In a panoramic survey of 1970s Britain, this volume offers the first modern history of the referendum, asking why voters said ‘Yes to Europe’ and why the result did not, as some hoped, bring the European debate in Britain to a close.

Robert Saunders is a Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of Democracy and the Vote in British Politics, 1848–1867 (2011) and co-editor (with Ben Jackson) of Making Thatcher’s Britain (Cambridge, 2012). He appeared in the BBC TV series The Victorian Slum (2016) and has given interviews and commentary for the BBC, CNN and a wide range of media outlets.

• Written in a lively and accessible style that moves away from the usual focus of British/European histories on summits, treaty changes and diplomacy • Reconnects the history of Britain and Europe to the broader social and cultural history of 1970s Britain

Forging Ahead, Falling Behind, and Fighting Back British Economic Growth from the Industrial Revolution to the Financial Crisis Nicholas Crafts To what extent has the British economy declined compared to its competitors and what are the underlying reasons for this decline? Nicholas Crafts, one of the world’s foremost economic historians, tackles these questions in a major new account of Britain’s long-run economic performance. He argues that history matters in interpreting current economic performance, because the present is always conditioned by what went before. Bringing together ideas from economic growth theory and varieties of capitalism to endogenous growth and cliometrics, he reveals the microeconomic foundations of Britain’s economic performance in terms of the impact of institutional arrangements and policy choices on productivity performance. The book traces Britain’s path from the first Industrial Revolution and global economic primacy through to its subsequent long-term decline, the strengths and weaknesses of the Thatcherite response, and the improvement in relative economic performance that was sustained to the eve of the financial crisis.

Nicholas Crafts is Professor of Economic History at the University of Warwick. His many publications include The Great Depression of the 1930s: Lessons for Today (2013), co-edited with Peter Fearon, Work and Pay in 20th Century Britain (2007), co-edited with Ian Gazeley and Andrew Newell, and British Economic Growth during the Industrial Revolution (1985).

228 x 152 mm 380pp 978-1-107-50415-8 Paperback c. £19.99 / c. US$29.99

KEY FEATURES • Broadens the widely studied development and role of citizenship in Europe to give these topics a global perspective that covers Europe, China, the Middle East and America

www.cambridge.org

Citizens without Nations Urban Citizenship in Europe and the World, c.1000–1789 Maarten Prak Citizenship is at the heart of our contemporary world but it is a particular vision of national citizenship forged in the French Revolution. In Citizens without Nations, Maarten Prak recovers the much longer tradition of urban citizenship across the medieval and early modern world. Ranging from Europe and the American colonies to China and the Middle East, he reveals how the role of ‘ordinary people’ in urban politics has been systematically underestimated and how civic institutions such as neighbourhood associations, craft guilds, confraternities and civic militias helped shape local and state politics. By destroying this local form of citizenship, the French Revolution initially made Europe less, rather than more, democratic.

Understanding citizenship’s longer-term history allows us to change the way we conceive of its future, rethink what it is that makes some societies more successful than others and whether there are fundamental differences between European and non-European societies.

Maarten Prak is Professor of Social and Economic History at the Department of History and Art History, Utrecht University. He is on the Board of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

• Will appeal to scholars of the humanities and social sciences with an interest in citizenship, and is also accessible to a wider audience who care about how to achieve sustainable social development • The period covered, from the late Middle Ages to the French Revolution, is much wider than most histories on similar topics

KEY FEATURES • Examines the threat posed by violent nonstate actors throughout history, presenting key lessons that are applicable to dealing with groups such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIL today

www.cambridge.org

Return of the Barbarians Confronting Non-State Actors from Ancient Rome to the Present Jakub J. Grygiel Barbarians are back. These small, highly mobile, and stateless groups are no longer confined to the pages of history; they are a contemporary reality in groups such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIL. Return of the Barbarians re-examines the threat of violent non-state actors throughout history, revealing key lessons that are applicable today. From the Roman Empire and its barbarian challenge on the Danube and Rhine, Russia, and the steppes to the nineteenth-century Comanches, Jakub J. Grygiel shows how these groups have presented peculiar, long-term problems that could rarely be solved with a finite war or clearly demarcated diplomacy. To succeed and survive, states were often forced to alter their own internal structure, giving greater power and responsibility to the communities most directly affected by the barbarian menace. Understanding the barbarian challenge, and strategies employed to confront it, offers new insights into the contemporary security threats facing the Western world.

Jakub J. Grygiel was a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, Washington, DC and an associate professor at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of The Johns Hopkins University, Washington, DC. He is currently serving on the policy planning staff at the US Department of State.

• Proposes a historical analogy to current security challenges, offering a new way of thinking about trends in the security landscape • Brings pre-modern history back into the discussion of international relations and security studies

Imagining Shakespeare’s Wife The Afterlife of Anne Hathaway Katherine West Scheil

of Anne

Hathaway

UK publication May 2018 US publication July 2018

What has been the appeal of Anne Hathaway, both globally and temporally, over the past four hundred years? Why does she continue to be reinterpreted and reshaped? Imagining Shakespeare’s Wife examines representations of Hathaway, from the earliest depictions and details in the eighteenth century, to contemporary portrayals in theatre, biographies and novels. Residing in the nexus between Shakespeare’s life and works, Hathaway has been constructed to explain the women in the plays but also composed from the material in the plays. Presenting the very first cultural history of Hathaway, Katherine West Scheil offers a richly original study that uncovers how the material circumstances of history affect the later reconstruction of lives.

228 x 152 mm 320pp 978-1-108-40406-8 Paperback c. £19.99 / c. US$24.99

KEY FEATURES • Offers the very first cultural history of Anne Hathaway • Provides a broad chronological coverage from the eighteenth century to contemporary portrayals in theatre, biographies and novels

Katherine West Scheil is Professor of English at the University of Minnesota.

The Great Uprising Race Riots in Urban America during the 1960s Peter B. Levy

US publication January 2018 UK publication March 2018

228 x 152 mm 338pp 20 b/w illus.

978-1-108-43403-4 Paperback £22.99 / US$29.99

KEY FEATURES • Provides a new framework for understanding race riots, challenging the narrow conceptualization of the revolts as ahistorical and unconstructive bursts of anger

Between 1963 and 1972 America experienced over 750 urban revolts. Considered collectively, they comprise what Peter B. Levy terms a ‘Great Uprising’. Levy examines these uprisings over the arc of the entire decade, in various cities across America. He challenges both conservative and liberal interpretations, emphasizing that these riots must be placed within their historical context to be properly understood. By focusing on three specific cities as case studies – Cambridge and Baltimore, in Maryland, and York, in Pennsylvania – Levy demonstrates the impact which these uprisings had on millions of ordinary Americans. He shows how conservatives profited politically by constructing a misleading narrative of their causes, and also suggests that the riots did not represent a sharp break or rupture from the civil rights movement. Finally, Levy presents a cautionary tale by challenging us to consider if the conditions that produced this ‘Great Uprising’ are still predominant in American culture today.

Peter B. Levy is a Professor of History at York College of Pennsylvania, where he teaches US history classes. His books include Civil War on Race Street: The Civil Rights Movement in Cambridge, Maryland (2003).

• Builds on rich resources to present an in-depth consideration of those most impacted by the riots • Reminds readers that these riots of the 1960s were a seminal development in recent American history

The Creole Debate John H. McWhorter

UK / US publication date June 2018

Creoles have long been the subject of debate in linguistics with many conflicting views, both on how they are formed, and what their political and linguistic status should be. Indeed, over the past twenty years, some creole specialists have argued that it has been wrong to think of creoles as anything but language blends in the same way that Yiddish is a blend of German, Hebrew and Slavic. Here, John H. McWhorter debunks the most widely accepted idea that creoles are created in the same way as ‘children’, taking characteristics from both ‘parent’ languages, as well as its underlying assumption that all historical and biological processes are the same. Instead, the facts support the original, and more interesting, argument that creoles are their own unique entity and are among the world’s only genuinely new languages.

228 x 152 mm 175pp 978-1-108-45083-6 Paperback £17.99 / US$22.99

KEY FEATURES • Presents data from a wide range of creoles, not just the restricted few that are largely studied by uniformitarians

John H. McWhorter is Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, New York. Having written nineteen books on both language and race issues, he is also a prolific voice on a number of political and social issues, with regular articles in The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The New York Times.

• Presents counter arguments to the uniformitarian view, which many linguists will have had little exposure to before • Reveals creole studies to be far more wide-ranging than often thought, including answering the oft-posed question as to what would happen if creoles were based on languages beyond Europe and Africa

China’s Crisis of Success William H. Overholt

UK publication January 2018 US publication March 2018

228 x 152 mm 302pp 978-1-108-43199-6 Paperback £19.99 / US$25.99

KEY FEATURES • Breaks stereotypes of inexorable rise or inevitable collapse to explain both China’s great strengths and great weaknesses

China’s Crisis of Success provides new perspectives on China’s rise to superpower status, showing that China has reached a threshold where success has eliminated the conditions that enabled miraculous growth. Continued success requires reinvention of its economy and politics. The old economic strategy based on exports and infrastructure now piles up debt without producing sustainable economic growth, and Chinese society now resists the disruptive change that enabled earlier reforms. While China’s leadership has produced a strategy for successful economic transition, it is struggling to manage the politics of implementing that strategy.

After analysing the economics of growth, William H. Overholt explores critical social issues of the transition, notably inequality, corruption, environmental degradation, and globalisation. He argues that Xi Jinping is pursuing the riskiest political strategy of any important national leader. Alternative outcomes include continued impressive growth and political stability, Japanese-style stagnation, and a major political-economic crisis.

William H. Overholt is Senior Research Fellow at Harvard University, Massachusetts. He is the author of a number of books including, most notably, Asia, America and the Transformation of Geopolitics (Cambridge, 2008) and The Rise of China (1993).

• Analyses China’s current crisis and suggests possible future options, within the context of a larger framework of the model of China’s development • Explodes myths among economists that China is a socially extractive system and those among political scientists that China’s communist system creates unique weaknesses of corruption, environmental degradation, and administrative weakness

Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy Markets, Speculation and the State Second edition

William H. Janeway Legendary economist Hyman Minsky identified author William H. Janeway as a ‘theorist-practitioner’ of financial economics; this book is an expression of that double life. Interweaving his unique professional perspective with political and financial history, Janeway narrates the dynamics of the innovation economy from the standpoint of a seasoned practitioner of venture capital, operating on the frontier where financial speculation intersects with novel technology. In this fully revised and updated edition, Janeway develops his theory that asset bubbles play a central role in financing technological innovation and that state investment in national goals enable the innovation process. Now, the digital revolution, sponsored by the state and funded by speculation, has matured to attack the authority, and even the legitimacy, of governments. The populist response in the West, especially in the United States, opens the door for China to seize leadership of the innovation economy from America.

William H. Janeway is a Senior Advisor and Managing Director of Warburg Pincus. He joined Warburg Pincus in 1988 and was responsible for building the information technology investment practice. Dr. Janeway is also a director of Magnet Systems, Nuance Communications, and O’Reilly Media. He is an affiliated member of the Faculty of Economics at Cambridge University.

• Fully revised and updated, this book now incorporates the latest political and economic changes and challenges, discussing what may now lie ahead

Modern Prometheus Editing the Human Genome with Crispr-Cas9 Jim Kozubek

US publication April 2018 UK publication May 2018

228 x 152 mm 440pp 978-1-108-45462-9 Paperback c. £15.99 / c. US$19.99

KEY FEATURES • Demystifies Crispr, the revolutionary genome editing tool, named Science magazine’s Breakthrough Technology of 2015

Would you change your genes if you could? As we confront the ‘industrial revolution of the genome’, the recent discoveries of Crispr-Cas9 technologies are offering, for the first time, cheap and effective methods for editing the human genome. This opens up startling new opportunities as well as significant ethical uncertainty. Tracing events across a fifty-year period, from the first gene splicing techniques to the present day, this is the story of gene editing - the science, the impact and the potential. Kozubek weaves together the fascinating stories of many of the scientists involved in the development of gene editing technology.

Along the way, he demystifies how the technology really works and provides vivid and thought-provoking reflections on the continuing ethical debate. Ultimately, Kozubek places the debate in its historical and scientific context to consider both what drives scientific discovery and the implications of the ‘commodification’ of life.

Jim Kozubek is a data scientist living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His science writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Scientific American, New Scientist, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Time, Wired, Aeon, Nautilus, Undark, The Boston Globe, STAT and the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs.

• Tells the dramatic, interwoven stories of the scientists and their discoveries that led to the emergence of this transformative technology • Provides thought-provoking insights into the impact and ethical dilemmas of the Crispr world that we all now live in
