The Robin Hood Foundation, New York Citys largest poverty-fighting organization, focuses on alleviating the problems caused by poverty. To maximize the impact of each donation, Robin Hood has pioneered a metrics-based approach that identifies the most effective poverty-fighting programs and, crucially, allows funders to compare the benefits of dissimilar programs in ways that support and encourage smart philanthropy.
The Robin Hood Rules for Smart Giving is a must-read for all do-gooders, including the donors who give money and the nonprofits that spend it. Michael M. Weinstein and Ralph M. Bradburd have a marvelous way of conveying complex concepts in simple English, including one of the best explanations of cost-benefit analysis that I have ever read. This book is a true gem.
Sheldon Danziger, G. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan
Dubbing this strategy relentless monetization, Weinstein and Bradburd make a compelling case for this method, demonstrating how it can be used by funders, nonprofits, and prospective grantees. They share examples from Robin Hoods own experience so other nonprofit organizations can implement, learn from, and improve upon this approach within their own fundraising and grant-giving strategies. The authors also show grant seekers how to measure, track, and present a project so as to realizeand showcaseits full potential.

Adam Arvidsson and Nicolai Peitersens ideas are beguiling and of the moment. An original contribution to the emergent field of communications and creative industry studies, economic sociology, and the politics of information.
Mark Banks, Open University
A revolutionized global economy now offers the opportunity for a more ethical system to take root, one that rectifies the crisis spots of our current downturn while balancing the injustices of extreme poverty and wealth. Adam Arvidsson and Nicolai Peitersen outline the shape such an economy would take, identifying its echoes in innovations already inhabiting our system, such as open-source software, social-media platforms, socialized production, and other diffuse applications. Arvidsson and Peitersens model encompasses productive publics held together by socialized networks of wealth creation that unfold beyond the control of markets and organizations, such as a customers meaningful attachment to products and services; financial markets that act as the main mechanism of the distribution of wealth; and a new global reputation economy that sets the value of wealth. As nineteenth-century entrepreneurs, philosophers, bankers, artisans, and social organizers planned a more economically efficient and ethically desirable course for modern capitalism, today we can construct new instruments, institutions, and infrastructure to reverse the trajectory of a fast-deteriorating economic regime. The authors show wealth creation can be the result of a new kind of social production combining the pursuit of individual interests with a realization of the common good.

Peter Rabins shows incredible breadth of knowledge, and his thesisthat there are three distinct approaches to causation, appropriate to different types of questions is compelling. His writing is engaging, and the subject matter is deeply relevant.
Simon Levin, Princeton University
Why was there a meltdown at the Fukushima power plant? Why do some people get cancer and not others? Why is global warming happening? Why does one person get depressed in the face of lifes vicissitudes and another finds resilience? Questions of causality form the basis of modern scientific inquiry, posing profound intellectual and methodological challenges for the physical, natural, biomedical, and social sciences.
In this groundbreaking book, the noted psychiatrist and author Peter Rabins offers a conceptual framework for analyzing daunting questions of causality. Navigating a lively intellectual voyage by the polar star of strict reductionism and past the murky shoals of relativism, Rabins maps a three-facet model of causality and applies it to a variety of questions in science, medicine, economics, and more. Throughout, he situates his argument within relevant scientific contexts, such as quantum mechanics, cybernetics, chaos theory, and epigenetics. A renowned communicator of complex concepts and scientific ideas, Rabins stretches readers minds beyond popular literary tipping points, blinks, and freakonomic explanations of the world.

Why Atheists, True Believers, and Even Agnostics Must All Be Wrong
A W ITTY AND IR R EV E R E N T TA K E O N T H E G O D D E BAT E.
Whether people praise, worship, criticize, or reject God, they all presuppose at least a rough notion of what it means to talk about God. Turning the certainty of this assumption on its head, a nationally respected educator and humanist shows that when we talk about God, were in fact talking about nothing at alltheres literally no such ideaand so all of the arguments we hear from atheists, true believers, and agnostics, are and will always be empty and self-defeating.
Peter J. Steinbergers common sense account is by no means disheartening or upsetting, leaving readers without anything meaningful to hold on to. On the contrary, he demonstrates how impossible it is for the common world of ordinary experience to be all there is. With patience, clarity, and good humor, Steinberger helps readers think critically and constructively about various certainties and modes of being in the world. By coming to grips with our own deep-seated beliefs, we can understand how traditionally asserting, denying, or even just wondering about Gods existence prevents us from seeing the truthwhich, it turns out, is far more interesting and encouraging than anyone would have thought.
PETER J. STEINBERGER
What do we really think deep down? This is the question Peter J. Steinberger pursues in this timely and important book. Along the way, he announces a pox on all the houses in the God debate by shifting the question from whether God exists to an evaluation of our inability to engage in reasonable and commonsense thinking. In so doing, he models a form of systematic and rigorous philosophical argumentation that is accessible to a nonspecialist and provides a life-affirming philosophy that proves the world as we know it cannot be all there is.

inviting readers to taste philosophy itself and catch that elusive sense of what it means to think.
Ward Blanton, University of Kent
Peter Sloterdijk delves into the life and work of Aristotle, Augustine, Bruno, Descartes, Foucault, Fichte, Hegel, Husserl, Kant, Kierkegaard, Leibniz, Marx, Nietzsche, Pascal, Plato, Sartre, Schelling, Schopenhauer, and Wittgenstein. He juxtaposes Plato against shamanism and Marx against Gnosticism, revealing the vital influences shaping these intellectuals thought and the excitement and wonder of applying their thought in the real world. The philosophical temperament as conceived by Sloterdijk represents the minds creative encounter with diverse cultures. It marks these philosophers singular achievements as well as philosophys special dynamic. Creston Davis details Sloterdijks own temperament, surveying his intellectual context, rhetorical style, and philosophical persona.
PETER SLOTERDIJK
With vignettes rich in personal characterizations and theoretical analysis, this companionable volume casts the development of philosophical thinking not as a buildup of compelling books and arguments but as a lifelong struggle with intellectual and spiritual movements, filled with as many pitfalls and derailments as transcendent breakthroughs.

Social Acceleration
According to Rosa, both the structural and cultural aspects of our institutions and practices are marked by the shrinking of the present, a decreasing time period during which expectations based on past experience reliably match the future. When this phenomenon combines with technological acceleration and the increasing pace of life, time seems to flow ever faster, making our relationships to each other and the world fluid and problematic. It is as if we are standing on slipping slopes, a steep social terrain that is itself in motion and in turn demands faster lives and technology. As Rosa deftly shows, this self-reinforcing feedback loop fundamentally determines the character of modern life.
HARTMUT ROSA
Hartmut Rosa advances an account of the temporal structure of society from the perspective of critical theory. He identifies three categories of change in the tempo of modern social life: technological acceleration, evident in transportation, communication, and production; the acceleration of social change, reflected in cultural knowledge, social institutions, and personal relationships; and acceleration in the pace of life, despite the expectation that technological change should increase free time.
The most developed and important social theoretical analysis of the acceleration of time from the perspective of critical theory. It extends critical theory into a new and fruitful avenue of inquiry maybe even into a new generation of social theorizing and critique.
Jerald Wallulis, University of South Carolina
Ours is a high-speed society: we need a proper conceptual and theoretical framework for making sense of it. As Rosa shows, the concept of social acceleration offers a rich starting point for doing so.

Another entertaining and surprising food history by the scholar who has come to define the discipline, Italian Identity in the Kitchen, or Food and the Nation tells how the production, consumption, and distribution of regional cuisine came to shape a collective Italian identity. The fusion of ancient Roman cuisine, which consisted of bread, wine, and olives, with the barbarian diet, rooted in bread, milk, and meat, first formed the basis of modern eating practices across Europe. From there, Montanari highlights the importance of the Italian city in the development of gastronomic taste in the Middle Ages, the role of Arab traders in positioning the country as the supreme producers of pasta, and the nations healthful contribution of vegetables to the fifteenth-century European diet. With the discovery of the New World, Italy absorbed corn, potatoes, and tomatoes into their cuisine, and as disaster dispersed Italians in the nineteenth century, new immigrant stereotypes portraying Italians as macaroni eaters spread. Yet two world wars and globalization brought the reunification and revival of Italian national identity, centered on its global strength as a traditional, regional food producer.

Nutritionism
Popularized by Michael Pollan, Gyorgy Scriniss nutritionism refers to the reductive understanding of nutrients as the key indicators of healthy foodan approach that now dominates nutrition science, dietary advice, and food marketing. Scrinis argues this ideology has narrowed if not distorted our appreciation of food quality, such that even highly processed foods may be perceived as healthful depending on their good or bad nutrients. Through an engaging investigation into such issues as the butter-versus-margarine debate; the battle among low-fat, low-carb, and other weight-loss diets; and the food industrys promotion of nutritionally enhanced foods, Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific, social, and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition.
Nutritionism is an important contribution to the discourse of the alternative food movement, providing a unique, scholarly rational for the food-quality paradigm. Gyorgy Scrinis provides a new language for talking about how our ideas of what makes a good diet have come to be.
Charlotte Biltekoff, University of California, Davis
Scrinis identifies the historical phases that gave rise to nutritionism and underscores the critical role of nutrition science and dietary advice in shaping personal subjectivity and heightening our nutritional anxieties. He ultimately shows how nutritionism has come to align the demands and perceived needs of consumers with the commercial interests of food manufacturers and corporations. His study concludes with an alternative paradigm that privileges food production and the quality of processing, cultural-traditional knowledge, and sensual-practical experience and promotes nonreductive forms of nutrition research and advice.

Georges Vigarello maps the evolution of Western ideas about fat and fat people from the Middle Ages to today, noting the role of science, fashion, fitness crazes, and public health campaigns in shaping these views.
Gluttonywhether perceived or realhas become the ultimate deadly sin in our secularized Western world. The Metamorphoses of Fat tackles the history of obesity from the Middle Ages to the present from a wide interdisciplinary and cultural perspective.
Jean-Jacques Courtine, The University of Auckland
While hefty bodies were once a sign of power, today those who struggle to lose weight are considered poor in character and weak in mind. Vigarello begins with the medieval artists and intellectuals who treated heavy bodies as symbols of force and prosperity. He then follows the shift during the Renaissance and early modern period to courtly, medical, and religious codes favoring moderation and discouraging excess. The body-as-mechanism metaphor intensified in the early nineteenth century, though social attitudes toward fat became conflicted, with the bourgeois male belly operating as a sign of prestige but also as a symbol of greed and exploitation. Vigarello concludes with the fitness and body-conscious movements of the twentieth century and the proliferation of personal confessions about obesity, which cemented the social implications of personal behavior and tied fat more closely to notions of personality, politics, taste, and class.

Plant-Thinking
If animals have been marginalized throughout the history of Western thought, then nonhuman, nonanimal living beings occupy the margin of philosophys margin. Modern philosophers particularly refrain from problematizing the ontological and ethical concerns of vegetal life, allowing botanists, ecologists, and environmental scientists to frame our understanding of plants place and purpose. Consulting a range of established and avant-garde theorists and outlining the continuities and discontinuities among human, animal, and vegetal environmental encounters, Michael Marder identifies the existential features of plant life and the vegetal heritage of human thought. He then affirms plants potential to resist the logic of totalization from the margins of philosophy. Reconstructing the life of plants after metaphysics, Marder focuses on their unique temporality, freedom, and material knowledge, or wisdom. In his formulation, plantthinking is the noncognitive, non-ideational, and non-imagistic mode of thinking proper to plants, a mode that allows dehumanization and, to some extent, a plantlike rendering of human thought.
For too long has the human mind been limited by thinking like a machine. Mechanistic thought has allowed humans to unleash violence on other species, both animals and plants. Plant-Thinking will help plants, but even more importantly, it will help humans by understanding the sanctity and continuity of life and our place in the Earth family.

Donna Dickensons book offers a compelling and overarching framework for interpreting new trends in biomedical science, such as gene biobanks, pharmacogenetics, and the banking of cord blood. It forces the reader to ask whether every new technological advance in medicine truly betters the fieldand for whom.
Sheldon Krimsky, Tufts University
Vaunted biotechnologies such as direct-to-consumer genetic testing, pharmacogenetics in cancer care, private umbilical cord blood banking, and neurocognitive enhancement seem to promise exponential and genome-specific benefits for individuals. In some cases, these technologies have shown significant potential, yet in others, they have produced negligible or even negative results. So why is Me Medicine rapidly edging out We Medicine, and how has our commitment to collective health suffered as a result? Dickenson examines the economic and political factors fueling the Me Medicine phenomenon and explores whether it may, over time, damage our individual health as well as our collective well-being. She explores how personalized medicine illustrates capitalisms protean talent for creating new products and markets where none existed before. Drawing on up-to-date scientific evidence, the book critically examines four possible hypotheses driving our Me Medicine moment: a growing sense of threat in our society; a wave of patient narcissism; corporate interests in creating new niche markets; and the dominance of personal choice as a cultural value. She concludes with important and original insights from political theory emphasizing a conception of the commons and the steps we can take to restore its value to modern biotechnology.

What the Story of the Andes Survivors Tells Us About Human Evolution

Mortal Rituals
During the ordeal, the survivors developed a primitive yet complex social system embodying the efficiency and flexibility necessary to meet the challenges of a harsh environment. They broke civilized taboos to fend off starvation and abandoned civilized modes of thinking to maintain social unity and sanity. These young men established daily routines and rituals that perpetuated their survival while sustaining their morale. Finally, through the power of ritual, they accessed the minds ability to endure severe emotional and physical hardship. All of these strategies have deep evolutionary histories. They are what our ancestors did for millennia upon millennia in their struggle to survive.
MATT J. ROSSANO
On December 21, 1972, sixteen young survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 were rescued after ten weeks stranded at the site of their plane crash, high in the Andes Mountains. The incident made international headlines and spawned several bestselling books, fueled partially by the fact that the young men resorted to cannibalism to survive. Matt J. Rossano examines this story from an evolutionary perspective, weaving findings and ideas from anthropology, psychology, religion, and cognitive science. He ties the survivors story to our story, seeing in the mortal rituals of this ten-week struggle the essence of what it means to be human.
Matt J. Rossanos attempt to parallel Parrado and Canessas incredible venture with the evolution of the human capacity to survive works very well. As he so aptly puts it, his narrative describes a microcosm of human evolution, and I think his book will grab the interest of many readersstudents as well as the general publicas it teaches essential facts about the way in which Homo sapiens evolved.

This is a well-written and erudite book of great importance. It promises to be the best single introduction to the informational concept of evolution, all while being clear and easy to read.
Geoffrey M. Hodgson, University of Hertfordshire
The concepts of evolution and complexity theory have become part of the intellectual ether permeating the life sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, and, more recently, management science and economics. In this new title, John E. Mayfield elegantly synthesizes core concepts from across disciplines to offer a new approach to understanding how evolution works and how complex organisms, structures, organizations, and social orders can and do arise based on information theory and computational science.
This is a big-picture book intended for the intellectually adventuresome. While not deeply technical or mathematical in style, the text challenges readers and rewards them with a nuanced understanding of evolution and complexity, offering consistent, durable, and coherent explanations for major aspects of our life experiences. Numerous examples throughout the book illustrate evolution and complexity formation in action and highlight the core function of computation lying at the heart of Mayfields work.

Dickson D. Despommiers vivid, visceral account of the biology, behavior, and history of parasites follows the interplay between these fascinating life forms and human society over thousands of years. He focuses on long-term host-parasite associations, exloring how multi-cellular parasites have evolved to avoid or even subvert the human immune system. These parasites practice complex survival strategies researchers hope to mimic as they undertake treatments for Crohns disease, food allergies, type 1 diabetes, organ transplantation, and other challenges. Despommier concentrates on particularly remarkable and often highly pathogenic organisms, describing their life cycles and the mechanisms they use to avoid elimination. He details their attack and survival plans and the nature of the illnesses they cause, enabling readers of all backgrounds to glimpse the secret work of these invaders. He also points to the cultural contexts in which these parasites thrive and reviews current treatments. Encouraging scientists to study these organisms even if their threat is largely contained, Despommier shows how a better understanding of the substances parasites produce to alter our response to them could help unravel complex medical conundrums.

In addition to his work as an entrepreneur, corporate executive, and consultant, for the past sixteen years August Turak worked alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey, watching firsthand as they undertook new enterprises and sustained an incredibly successful business practice.
Service and selflessness are at the heart of the remarkable success of this 1,500-year-old monastic tradition, an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions. Combining the lessons hes learned from thirty years of business experience with intimate portraits of the monks at work, Turak shows how Trappist principles have been successfully applied in a variety of business settings. He demonstrates how the monks and such agnostics as Warren Buffett are wildly successful not despite their fanatical commitment to the highest principles but because of them. Turak also points to other transformational organizations that share critical components of the abbeys philosophy conducive to success.
AUGUST TURAK
This is an inspirational book that presents a different view of business leadership and success that is important for serious and aspiring business leaders to consider. August Turak also has a narrative voice that is both genuine and authoritative, and he has thoughtfully organized take-aways throughout the book into lists that will be extremely useful for readers.

The book begins with the unbroken string of successes that helped Paul land a key spot with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It then describes the circumstances leading to Pauls $1.6 million loss and the essential lessons he learned from itprimarily that, although there are as many ways to make money in the markets as there are people participating in them, there are very few ways to produce a loss. People lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological barriers preventing the application of analysis. While all analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for instances in which they do not work, psychological factors can keep an investor in a losing position, causing him to abandon one method for another when the first fails. Paul and Moynihans cautionary tale concludes with strategies for dodging the dangers of investing, trading, and speculating.
JIM PAUL
Jim Pauls meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it allhis fortune, his reputation, and his jobin one fatal moment of economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led up to Pauls decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in various economic sectors.

The essays in this collection confront the quest for security arising out of the social, economic, environmental, and political crises and transformations of our century. Joseph E. Stiglitz and Mary Kaldor begin with an expansive analysis of the global landscape and the factors contributing to the growth of insecurity. While earlier studies have touched on how globalization has increased economic insecurity and how geopolitical changes have contributed to military insecurity, this volume looks for common threads: in a globalized world without a global government, with a system of global governance not up to the task, how do we achieve security without stepping back from globalization? Contributors seek answers to questions about how we protect those who are most insecure without resorting to economic, military, or mafia protectionism. They examine global changes at every level of societymost importantly in our cities, especially with increasing urbanization. Essays explore the potential for cities to effectively ensure personal security, promote political participation, and protect the environment.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ
The Quest for Security makes for a fascinating read, made all the more timely by the current outcry over the unequal distribution of the pains and gains from recent economic changes. This book examines globalization as the multidimensional phenomenon it is, without complexifying it to the point where key issues become obscured. It is an important book with serious, constructive proposals for making economic globalization politically sustainable by improving average citizens economic, physical, and environmental security.

Frost links interwar amusements, such as the talkies, romance novels, the Parisian fragrance Chanel no. 5, and the exotic confection Turkish Delight, to the artistic play of James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, D. H. Lawrence, and Jean Rhys. She considers pop-cultural phenomena against contemporary sociological, scientific, and philosophical writings on leisure and desire. She incorporates recent scholarship on material and visual culture and vernacular modernism, recasting the periods high/low, elite/ popular divides and formal strategies as efforts to regulate sensual and cerebral experience. Capturing the thrilling tensions between these artists commitment to innovation and the stimulating amusements they denounced yet deployed in their writing, Frost highlights the central role of pleasure in interwar literary culture.
LAURA FROST
In 1923, Aldous Huxley decried the horrors of modern pleasure, or the proliferation of mass-produced, widely accessible delights that could degrade or dull the mind. He and his contemporaries sought to radically redefine pleasure, constructing arduous paths to delight in their notoriously daunting work. Laura Frost follows these experiments in the art of unpleasure, connecting modernisms signature characteristics, such as irony, allusiveness, and obscurity, to an attempt to reconfigure bliss.
This book is a tour de force and will be widely and passionately read. Laura Frost has panache, acuity, incisiveness, and pleasure to burn. This is an important and shimmering book, a firework in its own right.

LITERARY CRITICISM
A groundbreaking and eyeopening study. In Mary Helen Washingtons sure hands, biography, politics, and cultural history combine to open new intellectual vistas.
Alan M. Wald, University of Michigan
While most histories of the McCarthy era focus on the devastation of the black list and the intersection of leftist politics and American culture, few include the activities of radical writers and artists from the Black Popular Front. Mary Helen Washington incorporates these intellectuals back into the history of twentieth-century African American literature and art and expands our understanding of the creative ferment energizing all of America during this period.
A wonderful combination of careful research, adept historicizing, and insightful close reading. Washingtons book brings needed critical attention to understudied figures and helps readers rethink the careers of others who they might believe they already know.
James Smethurst, author of The African
J O H N T. C O N S O L I
Mary Helen Washington reads Lloyd Brown, Paule Marshall, Alice Childress, and Gwendolyn Brooks and surveys the visual work of Charles White. She examines how leftist ideas and activism shaped their aesthetics and follows their balanced critique of mainstream liberal and conservative political and literary spheres. Her study recounts the targeting of African Americans during the McCarthy era, reconstructs the events of the 1959 Black Writers Conference in New York, and argues for the ongoing influence of the Black Popular Front. Defining the contours of a distinctly black modernism and its far-ranging radicalization of American politics and culture, Washington fundamentally reorients scholarship on African American and Cold War literature and life.

Spanning forty years of Rays career, these essays present the filmmakers reflections on his art and craft and include thoughts on sentimentalism, mass culture, silent films, the influence of the French New Wave, and the experience of being a successful director. Ray speaks on the difficulty of adapting literary works to screen, the nature of the modern film festival, and the phenomenal contributions of Jean-Luc Godard and Uttam Kumar. The collection also features an excerpt from Rays diaries and his sketches of famous film personalities, such as Sergei Eisenstein, Charlie Chaplin, and Akira Kurosawa, as well as film posters, photographs by and of the artist, film stills, and a filmography. Altogether, the volume relays the full extent of Rays engagement with film and offers extensive access to the thought of one of the twentieth centurys leading Indian intellectuals.

He was also widely praised for his critical and intellectual writings, which mirror his filmmaking in their precision and grasp of history, culture, and aesthetics.
Simultaneously lyrical and substantive, Satyajit Ray on Cinema captures the aesthetic spirit of Satyajit Ray, the director, graphic designer, painter, storyteller, fabulist, and, here, chronicler of the coming of age of cinema.

Thomas Doherty traces a powerful historical narrative as Hollywoods treatment of European fascism dramatically changes with the rise of Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco. His book marks a significant advance in our understanding of the American film industry in the 1930s and also in our appreciation of a wide range of films and filmmaking practices, revealing Hollywood as a social and geopolitical force.
Thomas G. Schatz, author of The Genius of the System: Hollywood Filmmaking in the Studio Era
Between 1933 and 1939, representations of the Nazis and the full meaning of Nazism came slowly to Hollywood, growing more distinct and ominous only as the decade wore on. Recapturing what ordinary Americans saw on the screen during the emerging Nazi threat, Thomas Doherty reclaims forgotten films, such as Hitlers Reign of Terror (1934), a pioneering anti-Nazi docudrama by Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.; I Was a Captive of Nazi Germany (1936), a sensational true tale of a Hollywood girl in Naziland!; and Professor Mamlock (1938), an anti-Nazi film made by German refugees living in the Soviet Union. Doherty also recounts how the disproportionately Jewish backgrounds of studio executives and workers shaded reactions to what was never simply a business decision. His history features Carl Laemmle, the German Jewish founder of Universal Pictures; Georg Gyssling, the Nazi counsel in Los Angeles who read the Hollywood trade press as avidly as any studio mogul; Vittorio Mussolini, son of the fascist dictator and aspiring motion-picture impresario; Leni Riefenstahl; the screenwriters Donald Ogden Stewart and Dororthy Parker; and Harry and Jack Warner of Warner Bros., who yoked anti-Nazism to patriotic Americanism and finally broke the embargo against anti-Nazi cinema with Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939).

Each chapter centers on the trafficking practices and antitrafficking measures of a single country: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Niger, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Syria, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Hepburn and Simon reveal gaps in legislation and enforcement and outline the cultural norms and biases, societal assumptions, and conflicting policies that make trafficking scenarios so pervasive. Their study identifies the specific cultural, economic, environmental, and geopolitical factors contributing to trafficking and highlights common phenomena that governments and international antitraffickers can consider as they fight this illicit trade.
STEPHANIE HEPBURN
The journalist Stephanie Hepburn and the justice scholar Rita J. Simon combine statistical data with intimate accounts to convey the full experience of human trafficking. They recount the lives of victims during and after their experience with trafficking and follow the activities of traffickers before capture and their outcomes after sentencing.
Stephanie Hepburn and Rita J. Simon make an effective case that while the specifics of trafficking vary depending on its focal point, there are certain constants. In their review of a range of countries, they demonstrate that economics, geography, civil unrest, societal inequality, and gender disparities play a major role in how trafficking manifests itself.

Duncan Kelly, University of Cambridge
Contributors explore the different ways one can think about the production, dissemination, and circulation of global ideas and whether global intellectual history can indeed produce legitimate narratives. They discuss how intellectuals and ideas fit within current conceptions of global frames and processes of globalization and proto-globalization, and they distinguish between ideas of the global and those of the transnational and identify what each contributes to intellectual history. An essential guide, this collection sets crucial conceptual coordinates for readers eager to map an emerging area of study.

Ryan uniquely examines the Salafist Jihadist roots of al-Qaeda ideology and the contributions of its most famous founders, Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. He also reads the Arabic-language works of less-known theoreticians who have played an instrumental role in framing al-Qaedas so-called war of the oppressed. These authors readily cite the guerrilla strategies of Mao, Che Guevara, and the mastermind of the Vietnam War, General Giap. They also incorporate the arguments of American theorists writing on fourth-generation warfare. Ryan shows al-Qaedas political-military strategy to be a revolutionary and largely secular departure from a classic Muslim conception of jihad, adding an invaluable dimension to the operational, psychological, and informational strategies already deployed by Americas military in the region.
MICHAEL W. S. RYAN ,
Consulting the work of well-known and obscure al-Qaeda theoreticians, Michael W. S. Ryan finds Jihadist terrorism has more in common with the principles of Maoist guerrilla warfare than mainstream Islam. Encouraging strategists and researchers to devote greater attention to jihadi ideas rather than jihadist military operations, Ryan builds a more effective framework for analyzing al-Qaedas plans against America and a more compelling counternarrative to the Wests supposed war on Islam.
Michael W. S. Ryans illumination of the ideology and strategy of al-Qaeda as seen in the writings of its key theoreticians is unique and valuable. This is an important and insightful book that provides both new information on al-Qaeda and new commentary on the organizations strategy and how to defeat it.

This book, well organized and clearly and cogently written, is unique among a range of books dealing with recent Chinese foreign relations, offering an up-to-date focus on Chinas effect on the security dynamic in Asia and on the interests of the United States, especially in Asia.
Robert Sutter, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University
Through a careful consideration of historical factors and raw data, Denny Roy examines the benefits and consequences of a more politically, economically, and militarily potent China. Since Chinas sphere of influence encroaches on the autonomy of regional states, its attempts to increase its security have diminished the security of its neighbors. Nevertheless, there is little incentive for states to change a status quo that is mostly good for China, and the PRC thrives through its participation in the global economy and multilateral institutions. Even so, Beijing remains extremely sensitive to challenges to the Chinese Communist Partys legitimacy and believes it is entitled to influence its periphery. On these issues, nationalism trumps all. Roys study reveals the actual dynamics working to make and unmake this volatile region, in which governments pursue China as an economic partner yet fear a future in which Beijing sets the rules.

Despite Chinas effort to maintain peace with its neighbors, its military and economic growth poses an undeniable threat. Historical baggage has only aggravated the situation: China believes it is reclaiming its rightful place after a time of weakness and mistreatment, and other Asia-Pacific countries remember all too well their encounter with Chinese conflict and domination.

A Sourcebook
This innovative sourcebook builds a dynamic understanding of Chinas early medieval period (220589) through an original selection and arrangement of literary, historical, religious, and critical texts. A tumultuous and formative era, these centuries saw the longest stretch of political fragmentation in Chinas imperial history, resulting in new ethnic configurations, the rise of powerful clans, and a pervasive divide between north and south. Deploying thematic categories, the editors sketch the period in a novel way for students and, by featuring many texts translated into English for the first time, recast the era for specialists. Thematic topics include regional definitions and tensions, governing mechanisms and social reality, ideas of self and other, relations with the unseen world, everyday life, and cultural concepts. Within each section, the editors and translators introduce the selected texts and provide critical commentary on their historical significance, along with suggestions for further reading and research.

Rather than resist the vast changes sweeping Japan in the nineteenth century, the poet Masaoka Shiki (18671902) incorporated new Western influences into his countrys native haiku and tanka verse. By reinvigorating these traditional forms, Shiki freed them from outdated conventions and made them more responsive to new trends in artistic expression. His reforms made the haiku Japans most influential modern cultural export.
Toward the end of his life, the great haiku poet Bash emphasized the importance of an aesthetic quality he called hosomi, or lightness. Donald Keenes biography of Masaoka Shiki has a lightness of touch akin to hosomi. With incisive judgment, Keene outlines the development of Shikis views on tanka and haiku while also describing with touching immediacy the small yet pivotal events in the poets life.
Sonja Arntzen, University of Toronto
Based on extensive readings of Shikis own writings and accounts of the poet by his contemporaries and family, Donald Keene charts Shikis distinctive (and often contradictory) experiments with haiku and tanka, a dynamic process that made the survival of these genres possible in a globalizing world. Keene privileges random incidents and encounters in his impressionistic portrait of this tragically short life, moments that elicited significant shifts and discoveries in Shikis work. The push and pull of a profoundly changing society are vividly felt in Keenes narrative, which also includes sharp observations of recognizable characters, such as the famous novelist and critic Natsume Sseki. As he often does in his celebrated work, Keene reflects on his personal relationship with Shikis writing and shares nuanced, deeply felt observations of its power.

This collection of explanatory-tale literature, compiled by a monk in eighth- or ninth-century Japan, records the spread of Buddhist ideas in Japan and the adaptation of Buddhisms principles to the conditions of Japanese society. Beginning in the time before the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, the text captures the effects of the nations initial contact with Buddhism and the subsequent adoption and dissemination of these new teachings among towns and cities.
The Nihon ryiki is a foundational work. Burton Watsons turns of phrase are really delightful, very smooth, and very accurate.
Charlotte Eubanks, Pennsylvania State University
The Nihon ryiki provides a crucial window into the ways in which Japanese Buddhists began to make sense of the teachings and texts of their religion, how they incorporated religious methods and materials from Korea and mainland China, and how they sought to articulate a popularized form of Buddhist practice and belief. The setsuwa genre would become one of the major textual projects of classical and medieval Buddhism, with nearly two dozen collections appearing over the next five centuries. The Nihon ryiki serves as a vital reference for these later works, with its tales finding their way into existing folkloric traditions and becoming a major source for Japanese authors well into the modern period.

The author establishes a concrete link between teaching the classics of world civilizations and furthering global humanism. Selecting texts that share many of the same values and educational purposes, he joins Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Islamic, and Western sources into a revised curriculum that privileges humanity and civility. He also explores the tradition of education in China and its reflection of Confucian and neo-Confucian ideals. He reflects on historys great scholar-teachers and what their methods can teach us today, and he dedicates three essays to the power of engaging with The Analects of Confucius, The Tale of Genji, and The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon in the classroom.

These stories move between anarchic campuses, infuriating communist factories, and the victims of Chinas economic miracle to showcase the absurdity, injustice, and socialist Gothic of everyday Chinese life. They further establish Zhu Wen as that rare creature among Chinese writers: an author with both a fearless grasp of the chaos of capitalistCommunist China and a sense of humor. In The Football Fan, an unreliable narrator may or may not have killed his neighbor for a few hundred yuan. The antihero of Reeducation is appalled to discover that, ten years after graduating during the protests of 1989, his alma mater has summoned him back for political reeducation with a troublesome ex-girlfriend. Damas Way of Talking is a fast, funny recollection of Chinas picaresque late 1980s; and The Apprentice plunges us into the comic hell of a more-or-less planned economy, as an enthusiastic young graduate is over-exercised by his tabletennis-fanatic bosses, sleep-deprived by gamblingaddicted colleagues, and stuffed with hard-boiled eggs by an overzealous landlady. Full of acute observations, political bite, and insights into friendship and romance, these stories affirm Zhu Wen as a major commentator on contemporary China.

Zhu Wens prose is imbued with his own unique brand of black humor, which combined with an unbridled imagination offers a satiric and disturbing take on the capitalist gluttony that has overtaken contemporary Chinese society. The Matchmaker, the Apprentice, and the Football Fan is an important extension of Zhu Wens literary universe.

Self and Emotional Life is a timely and wholly original intervention into one of the most debated questions of recent years: the place of the affects in psychoanalytic, neuroscientific, and philosophical accounts of the subject. It is doubly valuable in being authored by two philosophers whose range and depth of erudition in recent and emerging scholarship in the neurosciences (especially in work on the emotional brain) and in clinical psychoanalysis
MARTIN HGGLUND
Merging European philosophy from Descartes to the present, Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysis, and affective neuroscience, Adrian Johnston and Catherine Malabou triangulate the emotional life of affective subjects as conceptualized in philosophy and psychoanalysis with neuroscience. Johnston finds psychoanalysis and neurobiology may enrich each other, though affective neuroscience demands reconsidering whether affects can be unconscious. Investigating this issue has profound implications for theoretical and practical analysis, as well as philosophical understandings of emotion.
Malabou believes scientific explorations of the brain problematize notions of affective subjectivity in Continental philosophy and Freudian-Lacanian analysis. She forces philosophy and psychoanalysis to confront the concept of wonder and the visage of those who have been so affected by disease or injury they are no longer affected emotionally. At stake are claims concerning the relationship between the subjective mind and the objective body, the dynamics of unconscious mental life, the role of emotion in making us human, and the functional differences between philosophy and science.

To Carl Schmitt
JACOB TAUBES
A philosopher, rabbi, religious historian, and Gnostic, Jacob Taubes was for many years an interlocutor of Carl Schmitt (18881985), a German jurist, philosopher, political theorist, law professor, and self-professed Nazi. Despite their unlikely association, Taubes and Schmitt shared an abiding interest in the fundamental problems of political theology, believing the great challenges of modern political theory were ancient and, in many cases, anticipated the work of Judeo-Christian eschatologists. In this collection of Taubess writings on Schmitt, which includes decades of letters, reflections, and musings, the two intellectuals explore ideas of the apocalypse and other central concepts of political theology. Taubes acknowledges Schmitts reservations about the weakness of liberal democracy, yet he believed the apocalyptic worldview requires less of a rigid hierarchical social ordering than a community committed to the importance of decision making. In these writings, a sharper, more nuanced portrait of Schmitts thought emerges, as well as a more complicated understanding of Taubes, who shaped the work of Giorgio Agamben, Peter Sloterdijk, and other major twentieth-century theorists.
JACOB TAUBES
Carl Schmitt is among the most important political thinkers of the century. His work has proven influential on the right and, more recently, on the left. His interchange with Jacob Taubes, another interesting thinker, is remarkably clear and provides a window into their relationship and a framework for broader discussion.

This book is poised to fill a very specific gap in the literature and will therefore be of great service to environmental studies.
John Martin Gillroy, Lehigh University
Beginning with the pastoral societies of the Eurasian steppe and continuing through to the exportation of Western, meat-centered eating habits throughout the world today, Nibert links the domesecration of animals to violence, invasion, extermination, displacement, enslavement, repression, pandemic chronic disease, and hunger. In his view, conquest and subjugation were the results of the appropriation of land and water to maintain large groups of animals, and the gross amassing of military power has its roots in the economic benefits of animals exploitation, exchange, and sale. Niberts most powerful insight situates the domesecration of animals as a precondition for the oppression of human populations, an injustice impossible to rectify while the material interests of the elite are inextricably linked to animal exploitation.
DAVID A. NIBERT
Jared Diamond and other leading scholars have argued that the domestication of animals for food, labor, and tools of war has advanced the development of human society. Yet by comparing practices of animal exploitation for food and resources in different societies over time, David A. Nibert finds instead a perversion of human ethics, the development of large-scale acts of violence, disastrous patterns of destruction, and growthcurbing epidemics of infectious disease.

Mothers in Academia
EDITORS
While more mothers are occupying institutions of higher learning, they still struggle to make headway in a world that privileges a commitment to countless hours of scholarly research and study. Despite advances in institutional policy, these women continue to feel isolated and strive for respect. Featuring forthright essays by women who are or have been mothers as undergraduates, graduate students, academic staff, administrators, and professors, this volume intimately portrays the experiences of women at various stages of motherhood while theoretically and empirically considering the conditions of working motherhood as academic life has become more laborious. As higher-learning institutions move toward more corporate-based models of teaching, immense structural and cultural changes are transforming womens academic lives and, by extension, their families. Gendered parenting is also explored within the contexts of colonialism, racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, ageism, and heterosexism. Hoping to push reform as well as build recognition and a sense of community, this collection offers a number of solutions for integrating female scholars more wholly into academic life.

The coverage in these essays is comprehensive and impressively diverse. They will prove very useful to other academic mothers (and, perhaps, fathers) who feel alone and need confirmation that the problem is not personal but cultural and structural.

An important contribution to ongoing debates regarding migration, including the evolution of migration, conservation of migratory birds, and the affect of migration on the lifehistory strategies of birds.
Douglas Stotz, Field Museum of Natural History
The purpose of migration is to exploit two or more environments suitable for survival or reproduction over time, usually on a seasonal basis. Yet individual organisms can practice the phenomenon differently, and birds deploy unique patterns of movement over particular segments of time. Incorporating the latest research on bird migration, this concise, critical assessment offers contemporary readers a firm grasp of what defines an avian migrant, how the organism came to be, what is known about its behavior, and how we can resolve its enduring mysteries.
John H. Rappoles sophisticated survey of field data clarifies key ecological, biological, physiological, navigational, and evolutionary concerns. He begins with the very first migrants, who traded a home environment of greater stability for one of greater seasonality, and uses the structure of the annual cycle to examine the difference between migratory birds and their resident counterparts. He ultimately connects these differences to evolutionary milestones that have shaped a migrant lifestyle through natural selection. Rather than catalogue and describe various aspects of bird migration, Rappole considers how the avian migrant fits within a larger ecological frame, enabling a richer understanding of the phenomenon and its critical role in sustaining a hospitable and productive environment.

This singular book illustrates how to edit a piece of prose to enhance its clarity of thought and felicity of style. The authors first present ten principles of effective composition and then scrutinize three extended paragraphs, suggesting with remarkable specificity how to improve them. The volume also offers challenging practice questions as well as two finished essays, one serious and one humorous, that demonstrate how attention to sound mechanics need not result in mechanical writing. Steven M. Cahn and Victor L. Cahn help readers deploy a host of corrective strategies, such as avoiding jargon, bombast, and redundancy; varying sentence structure; paring the use of adjectives and adverbs; properly deploying phrases and clauses; and refining a coherent argument. Here is a book for all who seek to increase their facility in written communication.

Strategic Intuition
N E W I N PA P E R
William Duggan shows how strategic intuition lies at the heart of great achievements throughout human history, from the scientific and computer revolutions to womens suffrage, the civil rights movement, modern art, microfinance in poor countries, and more. This crucial mental process includes strategic analysis, where you study the situation you face; strategic intuition, where you get a creative idea for what to do; and strategic planning, where you work out the details of how to do it. From Bill Gates to Google, Copernicus to Martin Luther King, Picasso to Patton, Duggan illuminates the missing piece of the strategy puzzle for readers interested in achieving more in any field of human endeavor.
This book is the first to introduce formally, authoritatively, and convincingly the notion of strategic intuition. All strategic leaders can benefit immensely from it.

Duggan finally explains how the mind forms great leaps and how throughout time individuals have used strategic intuition to change the world. Strategic Intuition should be required reading for anyone in the venture-capital business.

Chef Wylie Dufresne, wd~50
In this global collaboration, chefs and scientists advance culinary knowledge by testing hypotheses rooted in the physical and chemical properties of food. Using traditional and cutting-edge tools, ingredients, and techniques, these pioneers create, and sometimes revamp, dishes that respond to specific desires. From grilled cheese sandwiches, pizzas, and soft-boiled eggs to Turkish ice cream, sugar glasses, and jellified beads, contributors consider the significance of an eaters background and dining atmosphere and the importance of a chef s methods, as well as the strategies used to create a great diversity of foods and dishes. Each essay ends with personal thoughts on food, cooking, and science.
A beautiful synergy between food and science while amazingly representing difficult concepts in colloquial language. A powerful book.

Whitney Strub examines how antipornography campaigns became the New Rights political capital in the 1960s, laying the groundwork for the family values agenda that placed greater emphasis on social issues over racial and economic inequality. He recreates 1950s debates over obscenity and revisits the deployment of obscenity charges against purveyors of gay erotica during the Cold War. He follows the rise of the influential Citizens for Decent Literature, the sexual revolution, feminist activism, gay rights, the porno chic moment of the early 1970s, and resurgent Christian conservatism, and he charts the Lefts failure to respond to the New Rights political use of the antipornography movement.

Born in northern Korea in 1904, Yi Taejun settled in Seoul after a restless youth in Japan. In 1946, he moved to Soviet-occupied northern Korea, but by 1956, he was forced into exile. It is believed Yi passed away between 1960 and 1980. These essays reflect the scholars distinct voice and lyrical expression, revealing thoughts on subjects from gardens to immigrant villages in Manchuria, from antiques to colonial assimilation, and from fishing to the recovery of Koreas past. Yi laments the passing of tradition with keen sensibility yet celebrates human perseverance in the face of loss and change.

Choice
Amy Allen argues that the capacity for autonomy is rooted in the power relations that constitute the self. Drawing on Michel Foucault, Jrgen Habermas, Judith Butler, and Seyla Benhabib, she shows how the self can be both constituted by power and capable of an autonomous self-constitution. Her argument is a significant and vital contribution to feminist theory and critical social theory, both of which grapple with the relationship between power and agency.

AMY ALLEN
John T. Hamilton investigates how literary, philosophical, and psychological treatments of music and madness challenge the limits of representation and create a crisis of language. He focuses on the autobiographical impulse of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, in which musical experience and mental disturbance disrupted referential thought, illuminating the irreducible aspects of the self before language could work them back into a discursive system.
As a study of a literary obsession, Hamiltons book will remain a key text for those interested in the genesis of the idea of ineffable music.

For more than fifty years, students and teachers have made the two-volume Sources of Indian Tradition their first pick for an accessible, thorough introduction to Indian and South Asian civilizations. Volume 2 contains essential primary readings on Indias social, intellectual, and religious history from the decline of Mughal rule in the eighteenth century to today. It details the advent of the East India Company, British colonization, the struggle for liberation, the partition of 1947, and the creation of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and contemporary India. This third edition features a new chapter on eighteenth-century intellectual and religious trends. The editors add fresh material on Gandhi and include different perspectives on and approaches to Partition and its aftermath. They expand their portrait of post-1947 India and Pakistan and add perspectives on Bangladesh. The collection is still divided thematically, with a section devoted to the drafting of the Indian constitution, the rise of nationalism, the influence of Western thought, the conflict in Kashmir, nuclear proliferation, minority religions, secularism, and the Indian political Left.

Cut-Pieces
ASIAN STUDIES
Imagine watching an action film in a small-town cinema hall in Bangladesh, and in between the gun battles and fistfights, a short pornographic clip appears. This is known as a cut-piece, a strip of locally made celluloid pornography surreptitiously spliced into the reels of action films in Bangladesh. Exploring the shadowy world of these clips and their place in South Asian film culture, Lotte Hoek builds a rare portrait of the production, consumption, and cinematic pleasures of stray celluloid. Hoeks innovative ethnography plots the making and reception of Mintu the Murderer (2005), a popular, Bangladeshi B-quality action movie and fascinating embodiment of the cut-piece phenomenon. She begins with the early scriptwriting phase and concludes with multiple screenings in remote Bangladeshi cinema halls, following the cut-pieces as they appear and disappear from the film, destabilizing its form, generating controversy, and titillating audiences. Hoeks work shines an unusual light on Bangladeshs state-owned film industry and popular practices of the obscene. She also reframes conceptual approaches to South Asian cinema and film culture, drawing on media anthropology to decode the cultural contradictions of Bangladesh since economic liberalization.
LOTTE HOEK
This is an excellent ethnography of a cinematic phenomenon that has elicited comment in the popular media yet has not received sustained and critical academic attention. The ethnographic data are novel and fabulous, as Lotte Hoeks strong focus on one film provides the lens through which to analyze the fascinating but disturbing landscape of contemporary Bangladesh.

This fascinating, original book is the first work in English to offer a comprehensive account of the Kant earthquake. The book couldnt be timelier. J.

Some residents hoped this catastrophe would lead to a grandiose, awe-inspiring new city; some pushed for more creative infrastructure to better manage traffic. Others focused on morally, economically, and spiritually rejuvenating society to combat the perceived deterioration of Japan. Schencking explores the inspiration behind these dreams and the extent to which they were realized. He investigates why Japanese citizens responded to elite overtures for renewal with ambivalence, reticence, and, ultimately, resistance. Moreover, he examines how and why the earthquake rattled their deep-seated fears about modernity. His research not only sheds rare light on Japans experience with and interpretation of the earthquake, it challenges widespread assumptions that disasters unite stricken societies, creating a blank slate for radical transformation. National reconstruction, Schencking demonstrates, proved to be illusive.
J. CHARLES SCHENCKING
In September 1923, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake and subsequent firestorms devastated nearly half of Japans capital, killing more than 120,000 people and leaving two million homeless. Using a rich array of source material, J. Charles Schencking tells for the first time in English or Japanese the graphic tale of Tokyos destruction and explains how and why the disaster compelled people to reflect on the state of urban, consumer society. He also examines how the unprecedented calamity encouraged inhabitants to entertain new types of modernity as they rebuilt their world.

Electoral reform in 1994 resulted in the selection of Junichir Koizumi, an anti-mainstream politician, as prime minister in 2001, initiating a power shift to the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and ending LDP rule. Shinoda details these government and administrative institutional changes and reveals how Prime Minister Koizumi took advantage of such developments to practice strong policy-making leadership. He also outlines the new set of institutional initiatives introduced by the DPJ government and their impact on policy-making, illustrating the importance of balanced centralized institutions and bureaucratic support.
TOMOHITO SHINODA
Decentralized policy-making power in Japan had developed under the long reign of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). In the 1990s, institutional changes were introduced, fundamentally altering Japans modern political landscape. Tomohito Shinoda tracks these slow yet steady changes to the present in the operation of and tensions between Japans political parties and the publics behavior in Japanese elections, as well as in the governments ability to coordinate diverse policy preferences and respond to political crises.

Kang Hang was a Korean scholar-official taken prisoner in 1597 by an invading Japanese army during the Imjin War of 15921598. While in captivity in Japan, Kang recorded his thoughts on human civilization, war, and the enemys culture and society, acting in effect as a spy for his king. A neo-Confucianist with a deep knowledge of Chinese philosophy and history, Kang drew a distinct line between the Confucian values of his world, which distinguished self, family, king, and country, and a foreign culture that practiced invasion and capture and, in his view, was largely incapable of civilization. Presenting the rare voice of a Korean speaking plainly on war and captivity, this volume enables a deeper appreciation of the phenomenon of war at home and abroad.
JAHYUN KIM HABOUSH
Abe Kb (19241993) was one of Japans greatest postwar writers, recognized for his science fiction and plays of the absurd. He also wrote keen theoretical criticism, merging literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives. From the nature of creativity to the evolution of the human species, Abe tackled contemporary social issues and literary theory with the depth and facility of a visionary thinker. Featuring twelve essays from twenty-five years of Abes prolific career, including his 1944 Poetry and Poets (Consciousness and the Unconscious) and his 1969 The Frontier Within, Part II, this anthology introduces English-speaking readers to Abe as critic and intellectual. Richard F. Calichmans substantial introduction connects Abes theoretical work to a broader understanding of his fiction, as well as a richer portrait of Japans postwar imagination.

The editors begin with a detailed portrait of He-Yin Zhens life and an analysis of her thought in comparative terms. They then present annotated translations of six of her major essays, as well as two foundational tracts by her male contemporaries, Jin Tianhe (18731947) and Liang Qichao (18731929), to which He-Yins work responds and with which it engages. Ahead of her time within the context of both modernizing China and global feminism, He-Yin Zhen complicates traditional accounts of women and modern history, offering original perspectives on sex, gender, labor, and power.
LYDIA H. LIU
He-Yin Zhen (18861920) was the editor of a prominent feminist-anarchist journal in the early twentieth century and exponent of a particularly incisive analysis of China and the world. Unlike her contemporaries, He-Yin Zhen was concerned less with Chinas fate as a nation and more with the relationship among patriarchy, imperialism, capitalism, and gender subjugation as global and transhistorical problems. Her bold writings were considered radical and dangerous in her lifetime and have gradually been erased from the historical record. This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yins work in English or Chinese, is also a critical reconstruction of early-twentieth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context.
HeYin Zhen was one of the most originalyet today least well known feminist theorists of the late Qing era. The Birth of Chinese Feminism not only sheds light on the unique vision of a remarkable turn-of-the century radical thinker but also, in so doing, provides a fresh lens through which to examine one of the most fascinating and complex junctures in modern Chinese history.

Wondrous Brutal Fictions presents eight seminal works from the seventeenth-century Japanese sekky and ko-jruri puppet theaters, many translated into English for the first time. Both poignant and disturbing, these whimsical narratives contain stories of cruelty and brutality, as well as love, charity, and outstanding filial devotion, representing the best of early Edo literary and performance traditions and acting as important precursors to the Bunraku and Kabuki styles of theater.
These texts relate the histories and miracles of particular buddhas, bodhisattvas, and local deities. Many of their protagonists have become recognizable cultural icons through their representation in later works of Japanese drama, fiction, and film. The collection includes such sekky sermon-ballad classics as Sansh Day, Karukaya, and Oguri, as well as the old jruri plays Go-no-hime and Amidas Riven Breast. R. Keller Kimbrough provides a critical introduction to each performance genre, emphasizing the role of seventeenth-century publishing in their spread. He also details six major sekky chanters and their playbooks, filling a crucial scholarly gap in early Edo-period theater. More than fifty reproductions of mostly seventeenth-century woodblock illustrations offer rich, visual foundations for the critical introduction and translated tales. Ideal for students and scholars of medieval and early modern Japanese literature, theater, and Buddhism, this collection provides an unprecedented encounter with popular Buddhist drama and its far-reaching impact on literature and culture.

Part I begins with a close reading of the lavishly produced bestseller A Fraudulent Murasakis Bumpkin Genji (18291842), an adaptation of Genji written and designed by Rytei Tanehiko, with pictures by the great print artist Utagawa Kunisada. Emmerich argues that this work, with its sophisticated imagetext-book relations, first introduced Genji to a popular Japanese audience, creating a new mode of reading. He then considers moveable type editions of Bumpkin Genji from 1888 to 1928 as bibliographic translations, connecting trends in print and publishing to larger developments in national literature and showing how the one-time best-seller became obsolete. Part II traces Genjis recanonization as a classic on a global scale, revealing that it entered the canons of world literature before the text gained popularity in Japan. Emmerich concludes by analyzing the emergence of Genji as a national classic during World War II and reviews an important postwar challenge to reading the work in this mode.
MICHAEL EMMERICH
A stunning tour de force. Michael Emmerich engages with translation studies, reception theory, and current notions of world literature, writing in a transnational, translingual context. This book makes us profoundly aware of the transformation of the material Tale of Genji and reading practices in Japan from the late early-modern period through the Meiji period, thus bridging the gap between earlymodern and modern literary studies as well as that between Japanese literary studies and contemporary translation studies.

Feminist theorist and philosopher Donna Haraway has affected thought on science, cyberculture, the environment, animals, and social relations. This volume explores her influence on feminist theory and philosophy, paying particular attention to her recent work on companion species rather than her Manifesto for Cyborgs. The authors offer readings of her texts framed by feminist materialism, standpoint epistemology, radical democratic theory, queer theory, and even science fiction. They situate her critical storytelling and risky reading practices as forms of feminist methodology and recognize her engagement with naturecultures as the theoretical core driving her work.

ANIMAL STUDIES
Being Animal
Steiner critiques postmodernist approaches to the moral status of animals and wages a broader indictment of postmodern thoughts inability to establish clear principles for action. He revisits the work of Derrida, Foucault, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, together with their American interpreters, and shows how the basic terms of postmodern thought are incompatible with any definitive claims about the moral status or rights of animals. Steiner urges a rethinking of humanism and, drawing on the Stoics, builds a more concrete foundation for animal rights.
GARY STEINER
Scholars tend to treat animals and the environment as distinct, mutually exclusive objects of interest and concern. Conducting the first systematic examination of the place of animals in scholarly and popular thinking about nature, Anna L. Peterson builds a nature ethic that conceives of nonhuman animals as active subjects simultaneously a part of nature and human society. She explores the tensions between humans and animals, nature and culture, animals and nature, and domesticity and wildness, and she uses our intimate connections with companion animals to examine nature more broadly. Through her paradigm-shifting reflections on animals, nature, and ethics, Peterson underscores the fluid and continuous character of two seemingly immutable categories.

The Bhgavata Pur a is a versatile Hindu sacred text containing more than 14,000 Sanskrit verses. Finding its present form around the tenth century C.E., the work inspired several major north Indian devotional (bhakti) traditions, as well as schools of dance and drama, and continues to permeate popular Hindu art and ritual in both India and the diaspora. Introducing The Bhgavata Pur as key themes while also examining its extensive influence on Hindu thought and practice, this collection conducts the first multidimensional reading of the texts entire twelve volumes.
The Bhgavata Pur a is a hard-to-classify embodiment of classical Indian cultural, religious, and philosophical thought. Its language and poetic expression are on par with the best of Sanskrit poetry (kvya), and its narrative structure holds together tightly as a literary work. Its theological message centers on devotion to Krishna and Vishnu, and its philosophical content is grounded solidly in the classical traditions of Vednta and Smkhya. Each essay in this volume focuses on a key theme of The Bhgavata Pur a and its subsequent presence in Hindu dance, music, ritual recitation, and commentary. The authors consider the relationship between the sacred text and the divine image, the texts metaphysical and cosmological underpinnings, its shaping of Indian culture, and its ongoing relevance to contemporary Indian concerns. A glossary aids in the understanding of the work.

Muslim Identities
RELIGION
Aaron W. Hughes uniquely traces the development of Islam in relation to historical, intellectual, and cultural influences, enriching his narrative with the findings, debates, and methodologies of related disciplines, such as archaeology, history, and Near Eastern studies. Hughess work challenges the dominance of traditional terms and concepts in religious studies, recasting religion as a set of social and cultural facts imagined, manipulated, and contested by various actors and groups over time. Making extensive use of contemporary identity theory, Hughes rethinks the teaching of Islam and religions in general and helps facilitate a more critical approach to Muslim sources. For readers seeking a nontheological, unbiased, and richly human portrait of Islam, as well as a strong grasp of Islamic studys major issues and debates, this textbook is a productive, progressive alternative to more classic surveys.
AARON W. HUGHES
Rather than focus solely on theological concerns, this well-rounded introduction takes an expansive view of Islamic ideology, culture, and tradition, sourcing a range of historical, sociological, and literary perspectives. Neither overly critical nor apologetic, the book reflects the rich diversity of Muslim identities across the centuries and counters the unflattering, superficial portrayals of Islam shaping public discourse today.

Laura Sjoberg positions gender and gender subordination as key factors in the making and fighting of global conflict. Through the lens of gender, she examines the meaning, causes, practices, and experiences of war, building a more inclusive approach to the analysis of violent conflict between states. Considering war at the international, state, substate, and individual levels, her feminist perspective gives a number of causal variables significant standing in war decision making. These include structural gender inequality, cycles of gendered violence, state masculine posturing, the often overlooked role of emotion in political interactions, gendered understandings of power, and states mistaken perception of their own autonomy and unitary nature. Gendering Global Conflict also calls attention to understudied spaces that can be sites of war, such as the workplace, the household, and even the bedroom. Her findings show gender to be a linchpin of even the most tedious and seemingly bland tactical and logistical decisions in violent conflict.

A man kidnaps his two children, murders one, and attempts to kill the other. At his trial, the defense turns to more than one hundred examples of the defendants artwork, created over his lifetime, to determine whether he was mentally ill at the time of his crimes. Describing an outstanding example of the use of forensic art therapy in a criminal case, David Gussak, contracted by the defense to analyze the evidence, recounts his findings and presentation in court, as well as the future implications of his work. Gussak details the role of the art therapist in a murder trial, how to use art as evidence, and the conclusions and assessments experts can draw from a defendants art. He examines expert testimony as communicated by the prosecution, defense, and court and weighs the moral, ethical, and legal consequences of such evidence. This gripping volume presents a convincing account of arts ability to reflect a damaged and dangerous psyche and demonstrates the practical applications of an innovative approach to clinical assessment and treatment.

Robert Neil Butler (19272010) was a scholar, researcher, and Pulitzer Prizewinning author who revolutionized the way the world thinks about aging. One of the first psychiatrists to engage with older men and women outside of institutional settings, Butler coined the term ageism to draw attention to discrimination against older adults and spent a lifetime working to improve their status, medical treatment, and care. A scholar who knew Butler personally and professionally, Andy Achenbaum follows his contribution to the concept of healthy aging and the notion that aging is not synonymous with physical and mental decline. Emphasizing the progressive aspects of his approach and insight, Achenbaum affirms the ongoing relevance of Butlers work to gerontology, geriatrics, medicine, social work, and other fields.

More urgent than ever, David G. Gils guiding text gives social workers the knowledge and confidence they need to change unjust realities. Clarifying the meaning, sources, and dynamics of injustice, exploitation, and oppression and certifying the place of the social worker in combating these conditions, Gil promotes social-change strategies rooted in the nonviolent philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. He shares suggestions for transition policies intended to alleviate poverty, unemployment, and discrimination and examines modes of radical social work practice compatible with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and President Roosevelts proposed Economic Bill of Rights. For this updated edition, Gil considers two crucial developments: the Middle Easts Arab Spring and the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Rising Sun, Divided Land provides a comprehensive, scholarly examination of the historical background, films, and careers of selected Korean and Japanese directors. It examines eight directors, Fukasaku Kinji, Im Kwon-teak, Kawase Naomi, Miike Takashi, Lee Chang-dong, Kitano Takeshi, Park Chan-wook, and Kim Ki-duk, and considers their work as a reflection of personal vision yet also as films that engage with globalization, colonialism, nationalism, race, gender, history, and the contemporary states of Japan and South Korea. Each chapter is followed by a short analysis of a selected film. The volume also includes a cinematic overview of Japan and South Korea and a list of suggestions for further reading and viewing.

In order to understand Bruce Lee, we must look beyond Bruce Lee to the artists intricate cultural and historical contexts. This work begins by examining Lees films, martial arts work, and changing cultural status in different times and places. The text examines Lees films and philosophy in relation to the popular culture and cultural politics of the 1960s and 1970s, and it addresses his resurgent popularity in Hong Kong and China in the twenty-first century. The study also explores Lees ongoing legacy and influence in the West, considering his function as a shifting symbol of ethnic politics and how he continues to inform Hollywood fight choreography. This study ultimately argues that Lee is best understood in terms of cultural translation and that his interventions and importance are ongoing.

Critical Engagements With Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima
ANNE GJELSVIK AND RIKKE SCHUBART, EDITORS
Film Dialogue
With Flags of Our Fathers (2006) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), Clint Eastwood became the first director to make two films about the same event. In this volume, international scholars in political science and film, literary, and cultural studies undertake multifaceted investigations into how Eastwoods diptych reflects war today. Fifteen essays explore war films, American history, and Japanese patriotism, presenting global attitudes toward war memories, icons, and heroism and offering new views on cinema, photography, journalism, ethics, propaganda, war strategy, leadership, and the war on terror.
ANNE GJELSVIK
Film Dialogue is the first anthology in film studies devoted to the topic of language in cinema, bringing together leading and emerging scholars to discuss the aesthetic, narrative, and ideological dimensions of film speech that have been largely unappreciated and unheard. Consisting of thirteen essays divided into three sections on genre, auteur theory, and cultural representation, Film Dialogue revisits and reconfigures several of films studies most established topics, persuading readers that spectators are more accurately described as audiences, that the gaze has its equal in eavesdropping, and that images are best understood and appreciated through their interaction with words. With an introduction outlining a methodology of film dialogue study and an accessible prose style, Film Dialogue is a welcome addition to ongoing debates on the place, value, and purpose of language in cinema.

Since 1983, Aki Kaurismki has made classically styled films filled with cinephilic references to film history, influencing Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino, and Wes Anderson. Yet the director is often depicted as the loneliest, most nostalgic of Finns (except when promoting his films, making political statements, and running his many businesses). Drawing on revisionist approaches to film authorship, this text links Kaurismkis work to issues in film aesthetics and history, nostalgia, late modernity, commerce, film festivals, and national cinema.

The industrys only director-cinematographer-screenwriter-producer-actoreditor, Steven Soderbergh is contemporary Hollywoods most innovative and prolific filmmaker, directing political provocations, digital experiments, esoteric documentaries, global blockbusters, and a series of atypical genre films. This volume analyzes Soderbergh as an expressive auteur of both art cinema and genre fare, as a politically motivated guerrilla filmmaker, and as a Hollywood insider. Combining a detectives approach to investigating the truth with a criminals alternative value system, Soderberghs films tackle social justice in a corporate world, embodying dozens of cinematic trends and forms.

From Slacker (1991) to The School of Rock (2003), from Before Sunrise (1995) to Before Sunset (2004), from the walking and talking of his American independent films to his conversations with the philosophical traditions of the European art house, Richard Linklaters films are some of the most critical, political, and spiritual achievements of contemporary world cinema. Examinations of Linklaters collaborative working practices, deployment of rotoscoping, and innovative distribution strategies all feature in this study, which aspires to walk and talk with the filmmaker and his films. Informed by a series of original interviews with the artist, this text explores the theoretical, practical, contextual, and metaphysical elements of his work and finds fanciful lives and lucid dreams have as much to do with his art as alternative notions of America, contemporary society, cinema, and time.

Falling between the creatively explosive swinging sixties and the partial commercial film rebirth of the 1980s, the 1970s is an overlooked decade in British cinema history. Using film as a tool and conducting a cultural/sociological analysis, Danny Powell casts the 1970s as an age of political extremism and conflict, a struggle between authority and the disenfranchised at a time of economic strife that produced volatile reactions in a country faced with no future. An era of experimental film that often avoids the obvious in terms of presentation, theme, narrative, and neat endings, the 1970s reflected an intrinsic link between domestic British cinema and cultural uncertainty. Powell discusses in detail Performance (1968), Straw Dogs (1971), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Get Carter (1971), The Wicker Man (1973), Tommy (1975), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), and Jubilee (1978).
DANNY POWELL
One of the first narrative films to be produced in Britain, the 1905 short Rescued by Rover was a fast-paced, quick-edited tale of abduction and kidnap, and the first British sound film, Hitchcocks Blackmail (1930), centered on murder and criminal guilt. Yet for a genre so important to the British cinematic character, there is little theoretical or historical work focused on it. The Britain of British cinema is often written about in terms of national history, ethnic diversity, or cultural tradition, yet very rarely in terms of its criminal tendencies and dark underbelly. This volume asserts that to know how British cinema truly works, it is necessary to pull back the veneer of the costume piece, the historical drama, and the rom-com and examine what is underneath. For every Brief Encounter (1945), says Paul Elliott, there is a Brighton Rock (2010), for every Notting Hill (1999) there is a Long Good Friday (1980).

The Descent
JAMES MARRIOTT

NEIL MITCHELL
An all-female caving expedition gone horribly wrong, The Descent (2005) is arguably the best of the mid-2000s horror entries to return verve and intensity to the genre. Unlike its peers (Saw [2004] and Hostel [2011]), The Descent was both commercially and critically popular, providing a genuine version of what other films could only produce as pastiche. For Mark Kermode, writing in the Observer, it was one of the best British horror films of recent years, and Derek Elley in Variety described it as an object lesson in making a tightly-budgeted, no-star horror pic. Emphasizing female characters and camaraderie, The Descent is an ideal springboard for discussing underexplored horror themes: the genres engagement with the lure of the archaic; the idea of birth as the foundational human trauma and its implications for horror film criticism; and the use of provisional worldviews, or rubber realities, in horror.
JAMES MARRIOTT
Brian De Palmas adaptation of Stephen Kings debut novel, Carrie (1976), is one of the defining films of 1970s New Hollywood style and a horror classic. Carrie was an enormous commercial and critical success and is still one of the finest screen adaptations of a King work. Neil Mitchell not only breaks the film down into its formal componentsits themes, stylistic tropes, technical approaches, uses of color and sound, dialogue, and visual symbolismbut also considers a multitude of other factors contributing to the works classic status: the act of adapting Kings novel for the big screen, the origins of the novel, the place of Carrie in De Palmas oeuvre, and the social, political, and cultural climate of the era (including the influence of second-wave feminism, loosening sexual norms, and changing representations of adolescence), as well as an explosion of interest in and the evolution of the horror genre.

In this definitive statement about Hong Kongs roots as the catalyst for the rise of a trans-Pacific world, Elizabeth Sinn forces us to rethink how migration connected China and North America, examining the movement of not only people but also goods in shaping how Gold Mountain fueled the rise of Hong Kong and how migrating Chinese and the companies they created built a corridor across the Pacific.

Pacific Crossing
During the nineteenth century, tens of thousands of Chinese men and women crossed the Pacific to work, trade, and settle in California. Drawn by the gold rush, they brought with them skills and goods and a view of the world that, though still Chinese, was transformed by their long journeys back and forth. They in turn transformed Hong Kong, their main point of embarkation, from a struggling infant colony into a prosperous international port and the cultural center of a far-ranging Chinese diaspora.
Making use of extensive research in archives around the world, Pacific Crossing charts the rise of Chinese Gold Mountain firms engaged in all kinds of trans-Pacific trade, especially the lucrative export of prepared opium and other luxury goods. Challenging the traditional view that this migration was primarily a coolie trade, Elizabeth Sinn uncovers leadership and agency among the many Chinese who made the crossing. In presenting Hong Kong as an in-between place of repeated journeys and continuous movement, Sinn also offers a fresh view of the British colony and a new paradigm for migration studies.

Shanghai Lalas
H O N G KO N G U N I V E R S I T Y P R E S S
This is the first ethnographic study of lala (lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) communities and politics in China, focusing on the city of Shanghai. Based on several years of in-depth interviews, the volume concentrates on lalas everyday struggle to reconcile same-sex desire with a dominant rhetoric of family harmony and compulsory marriage, all within a culture denying women active and legitimate sexual agency. Lucetta Yip Lo Kam reads discourses on homophobia in China, including the rhetoric of Chinese tolerance, and considers the heteronormative demands imposed on tongzhi subjects. She treats the politics of public correctness as a newly emerging tongzhi practice developed from the culturally specific, Chinese forms of regulation that inform tongzhi survival strategies and self-identification. Alternating between Kams own experiences with queer identity and her extensive ethnographic findings, this text offers a contemporary portrait of female tongzhi communities and politics in urban China, making an invaluable contribution to global discussions and international debates on same-sex intimacies, homophobia, coming-out politics, and sexual governance.
LUCETTA YIP LO KAM
More than just an ethnographic observation of women who identify as lala in China, this compelling and impressively researched study analyzes the numerous social forces that produce sexual normativity and documents the intricate ways through which women with same-sex desire negotiate these forces, in public as well as in private. Written with tremendous insight and compassion, this admirable and timely work sheds important light on the injurious effects of sexual normalization in contemporary Chinese society.

Buying Beauty
Chinese women are now pursuing cosmetic surgery as a way to increase their beauty capital and create new opportunities for social and professional success. Building on rich ethnographic data, this book shares the perspectives of women who have undergone cosmetic surgery and illuminates the motivations behind their decision. Wen Hua explores turbulent economic, sociocultural, and political change in China since the 1980s and its production of immense mental and corporeal anxieties.
China is undergoing significant socioeconomic, cultural, and political changes. It offers an opportunity to examine how people develop their new perspective of what constitutes beauty, how they would work on their bodies in order to respond to new expectations and the new socioeconomic environment, and how the socialist state is loosening its grip on ordinary people.

The second of two multidisciplinary volumes, this text explores the relationship between the political control and popular expression of humor, such as China and Japans exchange of comic stereotypes, and advances the methodology of psychological and cross-cultural humor studies.
Highlights how well humor works as an entry point into Chinese culture, making visible both deeply rooted cultural patterns and novel developments that result from economic progress, technological changes, and increasing cultural exchange.

Imperial Contagions
H O N G KO N G U N I V E R S I T Y P R E S S
Imperial Contagions argues there was no straightforward shift from older enclavist models of colonial medicine to a newer emphasis on the prevention and treatment of disease among indigenous populations and European residents. It shows that colonial medicine was not at all homogeneous on the ground but was riven with tensions and contradictions. Indigenous elites contested and appropriated Western medical knowledge and practices for their own purposes. Colonial policies contained contradictory and cross-cutting impulses. This book challenges the belief that colonial regimes were uniformly able to regulate indigenous bodies and that colonial medicine served as a tool of empire.
Europeans in Asia developed powerful anxieties about contagion and made many plans to keep it at a safe distance. Commercial ventures depended on the mobility of people and goods, yet for the personal safety of their members, Europeans in Asia wished to stabilize and control the spaces they inhabited and the behaviors of those around them. By exploring the tensions and contradictions that arose from these efforts to stay safe, the authors among the best authorities now writingoffer not only fascinating accounts of historical events but also fresh views of processes often termed colonial or imperial.

This substantial collection greatly enriches our understanding of medicine, disease, and policy in colonial Asia. The contributors, representing a range of disciplines, grapple fruitfully with questions of medical space and the shift from enclavism to public health. In doing so, they make important theoretical and empirical contributions to medical and imperial history.

Essays follow rapidly proliferating and resource-intensive Indian urbanism on everyday environments. Case studies on nature conservation in cities, urban housing and slum development, waste management, urban planning, and contestations over the quality of air, water, and sanitation in Delhi and Mumbai illuminate urban ecology perspectives thoughout the twentieth century. The collection highlights how struggles over the environment and ones quality of life in urban centers are increasingly framed in terms of their future place in a landscape of global sustainability. The text brings historical particularity and ethnographic nuance to questions of urban ecology and offers novel insight into theoretical and practical debates on urbanism and sustainability.

Colonial built environments were an expression of imperial aspirations, a manifestation of power, a tool in the civilization of indigenous cultures, a re-creation of a home away from home, and a place to live and work for both colonizers and colonized. Experts on city planning, architecture, and Asian and imperial history detail colonizations influence at both the top and bottom levels of society and its representation in stone, iron, and concrete. Creating the colonial built environment was a multilayered, unpredictable process. This study emphasizes the diversity of the colonial built form from Harbin to Hanoi and different experiences of foreign rule, as well as the flexible interactions between colonizers and colonized and the many risks of building and living in such colonies and treaty ports.

Ming porcelain was a dynamic force in Chinas domestic economy and a valuable commodity in export trade. This book examines the impact of porcelains consumption on Chinese development and its evolution into a foreign cultural icon. The study begins with porcelains appreciation in Ming China from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries, followed by a discussion of global encounters with Ming porcelain in several world regions, including Europe and the Americas. The volume revisits the creation of the phrase the Ming vase and its conceptual impact on English-speaking cultures and concludes with the integration of Ming porcelain into Western works of art.
Attempts to put the study of Ming, and by extension Chinese, porcelain in a wider conceptual framework, that of transcultural shifts in the use and meaning of art objects.

Imperial to International
The Asia Society Hong Kong Center built its new home at the former explosives magazine in the Hong Kong Admiralty. This landmark project was completed in February 2012 and turned several humble, utilitarian buildings intended for military use into a cultural and educational hub for Hong Kong. This adaptive repurposing has enabled the public to access these critical buildings for the first time in Hong Kongs history. The juxtaposition of old and new structures also encourages visitors to explore the buildings history and heritage while partaking in a range of artistic, cultural, and intellectually engaging programs. This volume follows the transformation of the Admiralty site while appreciating its reflection of Chinas ongoing social and political evolution.

Founded in 1849, St Johns Cathedral is the oldest, neo-Gothic cathedral in East Asia and Chinas oldest surviving, still-operating Anglican church. In its early decades, the cathedral was the center of Hong Kong colonial life. Today, it has drawn in other Hong Kong communities, becoming a truly international church with services in several languages. This first comprehensive history of St Johns traces the cathedrals role as a colonial parish church and as a bishops seat for a diocese stretching across China and beyond. It also discusses St Johns significance as a center of modern worship for a growing cosmopolitan community. This volume is the first in the new series Sheng Kung Hui: Historical Studies in Chinese Anglicanism, copublished by Hong Kong University Press and Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui.

For more than four centuries, Macau was the center of Portuguese trade and culture on the South China coast. Until the founding of Hong Kong and the opening of other ports in the 1840s, it was also the main gateway to China for independent British merchants and their only place of permanent residence. Drawing extensively on Portuguese as well as British sources, The British Presence in Macau traces AngloPortuguese relations in South China from the first arrival of English trading ships in the 1630s to the establishment of factories at Canton, the beginnings of the opium trade, and the Macartney Embassy of 1793. Longstanding allies in the west, the British and Portuguese pursued more complex relations in the east as trading interests clashed under a Chinese imperial system and as the British increasingly asserted their power as a community in search of a colony.

The University of Hong Kong was one of only a handful of fully autonomous colonial universities in the British Empire in the first half of the twentieth century. From its founding in 1911, the institution was intended as a British lighthouse in the Orient, with a broad remit to educate a new generation of Chinese youth who would lead to the modernization of China. This book evaluates the success of that mission while also demonstrating the importance of the university to the development of Hong Kong and Malaya, the two areas supplying the most students to the university. The study provides fresh insight into the character of colonial education and the development of Hong Kong and tracks the fortunes of the colony from the peak of imperial British power to the catastrophic Japanese occupation of 19411945.

This book follows the repositioning of higher education institutions across a range of contexts in the East and West. It argues that global governance, institutional organization, and academic practice are complementary elements in the process of institutional repositioning. Systems, institutions, and individuals in different contexts are subjected to similar global trends and pressures, and the reorientation of higher education takes diverse forms as a result of the particularities of those contexts. That reorientation cannot be explained in terms of East-West dichotomies and divisions but only with reference to the interflow across and within systems.

An enchanting exploration of the human and natural geography of Hong Kongs coastline and waters, this volume opens with Hong Kongs early history as a wild coastal frontier of imperial China and follows the social and cultural development of its maritime border zone. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Chinese and Western influences created the city of Hong Kong. Today, its coastline boasts an intense mix of urban high-rise dwellings, vast shipping facilities, and near-pristine wild areas. This volume focuses on Hong Kongs coral and marine diversity, with breathtaking underwater photographs.

Land has always been central to life in Hong Kongs rural New Territories, sustaining households and lineages and, for some, serving as a route to power. During imperial times, villagers managed their lands according to customs that were often at odds with formal Chinese law. From 1898 to 1997, British rule further complicated the issue by absorbing traditional practices into its Western legal systems. This study explores land ownership in the New Territories by reading more than one hundred land deeds and additional sources from the late Qing Dynasty to the present. These materials yield information on all aspects of traditional village lifefrom raising families and making a living to coping with intrudersinvoking a world that, despite decades of urbanization, still resonates today.

Providing a modern-day guide to Hong Kongs general principles of law, this volume makes an ideal companion for students and nonlegal professionals. The text now reflects the numerous changes made to Hong Kong law since the publication of the first edition in 2006. Redesigned as a practical guide to common legal principles, including contract, tort, employment, and property law, the volume better helps readers understand and anticipate the legal issues pertaining to todays commercial environments and private transactions. New material includes coverage of recent court decisions and revisions to Hong Kong ordinances.

This introduction traces the origins of the Basic Law and the concepts and legal issues that surround it. After reviewing the experience of the first fifteen years of implementation, the text analyzes the content of the Basic Law, especially in relation to Hong Kongs political system, the judiciary, and human rights. Intended primarily for students in law, politics, and other disciplines, this bookthe only short introduction to the subjectwill also appeal to the general reader interested in Hong Kongs experience under one country, two systems.
DANNY GITTINGS
Effective since Chinas resumption of sovereignty on July 1, 1997, the Hong Kong Basic Law lays down the general policies and system of government for Hong Kong under the one country, two systems formula. It guarantees Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy, enshrines the rights and freedoms of its residents, and preserves a separate common-law system with an independent judiciary.

In 1898, Great Britain added to its Hong Kong colony a 368-square-mile expanse of mountainous countryside and islands. After inspecting the extension, the colonial official James Stewart Lockhart called it the great difference for the gulf it represented between its people and their urban, colonial counterparts. James Hayes shows how the great difference led the British colonial government to rule differently over the New Territories, with repercussions that continue to affect presentday Hong Kong. With a new preface.
Meticulously researched, and all those who work on Hong Kong will welcome and make use of the many insights this book contains.

THE COM P EL L ING AN D I N T I M AT E LI FE STO RY O F ON E OF TH E WOR L D S FO R E M OST FI C T I O N W R I T E R S .
Weaving uncommon details from Katherine Mansfields letters and journals together with the writings of her friends and acquaintances, Kathleen Jones builds a captivating narrative around this fragile yet feisty author, describing her life, loves, and passion for writing. This is the first biography of Katherine Mansfield in twenty-five years, written with exclusive access to previously unavailable letters, journals, and other primary and secondary sources.
A compelling narrative of a writers passion for her work, her growth to maturity, and the extraordinary trajectory that took a plump, awkward, rebellious little girl from a rigidly conventional family halfway across the world and into a culture of artistic, social, and sexual experimentation.
Helen Dunmore, author of The Betrayal
What [emerges] with indisputable clarity from Kathleen Joness skillful use of her sources is a portrait of Mansfield, stylish and febrile, cigarette in one hand, pen in the other, relishing life, scrutinizing it with her keen intelligence, and recording her perceptions in a voice that continues to unsettle and surprise.
Pamela Norris, Literary Review
Jones writes with insight and verve and an intelligent sympathy. A mass of material unavailable to earlier biographers makes this new telling richly detailed and compelling.
Vincent OSullivan, coeditor of The Collected Letters of Katherine Mansfield
KATHLEEN JONES is
By far the best Katherine Mansfield biography yet, giving a truthful yet still sympathetic portrait.

As it recovers the concrete technology behind this grammar, the volume demonstrates the shaping influence of cosmetic materiality upon the content and practical execution of plays. Engaging with current debates on the relationship between early- and pre-modern subjectivity and embodiment, the study further challenges the notion that the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries was built predominantly around a new, modern language of interiority.

The only in-depth study of cosmetic culture and its visual representation on the Renaissance stage, this volume offers original interpretations of Shakespearean and Renaissance drama and Renaissance womens cosmetic and gender practices, revealing a wide range of ingredients, methods, and materials used in the construction of cosmetics.
FARAH KARIM-COOPER
In this original study, Farah Karim-Cooper reads tracts addressing the then-contentious issue of cosmetics and its visual expression on the Renaissance stage. She also examines cosmetic recipesnever before made public to modern readersand their relationship to drama and the construction of earlymodern identities.

Trish Ferguson reads Thomas Hardys fiction within the context of the nineteenth centurys seismic legal reforms and discourse. She traces his deep engagement with the contentious legal issues of his day as debated by professionals and literary figures. Ferguson ultimately argues Hardy used his fiction as a forum in which to question the Victorian eras legal reforms and their success in improving the lives of women and the working class.

This study treats stories as mechanisms reconciling what is taking place with what will have been. The relation between the present and the future perfect creates a grammatical formula challenging narrative as recollection and recapitulation. Mark Currie offers new understandings of the reading process within the strange logic of a future already complete while also touching on the key temporal concerns of our time.

In 1940, Virginia Woolf confessed: I think of all my books as music before I write them. In this work, Emma Sutton compares Woolf s entire novelistic output, as well as several of her essays and short stories, to music by classical composers, such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner, as well as the work of Woolf s own musical friends: Ethel Smyth, Nadia Boulanger, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Bruno Walter. Sutton reads Woolf s attitudes toward nationalism, class, anti-Semitism, and gender through these juxtapositions, contextualizing her musical engagement within the aesthetic experiments of the Bloomsbury group and Woolf s modernist contemporaries.
EMMA SUTTON
Through highly original readings of several of Virginia Woolf s most important works, Derek Ryan forges creative links between Woolf s modernist and feminist aesthetics and politics and contemporary theories of materiality. Ryan grounds his work in the thought of Gilles Deleuze and incorporates the thought of Jacques Derrida, Rosi Braidotti, and Donna Haraway. Readers gain new perspective on Woolf s work and its relevance to current debates in literary studies, theory, and a range of disciplines in the posthumanities.

How did the British fascination with Russian arts, politics, and society at the beginning of the twentieth century lead to a renewed interest in mysticism? How did ideas of Russianness and the Russian soul, prompted by the arrival in Britain of the Ballets Russes and the rise of revolutionary ideals, attach themselves to the existing British fashion for theosophy, vitalism, and occultism? In answering these questions, this study is the first to explore the overlap between Slavophilia and mysticism in Britain during a time of phenomenal social, political, and cultural change.

Mrs. Ramsay drowns in anguish at the soire she throws in Virginia Woolf s To the Lighthouse. Death is an uninvited guest at Katherine Mansfields The Garden Party, and politics sour the evening in James Joyces The Dead. Parties also play a primary role in the public intellectual culture of modernism. A London party held by Amy Lowell in 1914, attended by Ezra Pound, Ford Madox Ford, H.D., and Richard Aldington, devolved over an argument concerning the nature of imagism. In 1922, Joyce, Marcel Proust, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, and Sergei Diaghilev met for the first time at Pariss Hotel Majestic. In The Modernist Party, internationally distinguished scholars explore this phenomenon both as a literary device and as a social setting determining the movements creative identity.

Critics have treated modernisms engagement with the occult as the result of a loss of faith in representation, an attempt to draw on science as the primary discourse of modernity, and as an attempt to extract meaning from a hidden history of ideas. Leigh Wilson argues that at the heart of all these discourses lies a magical practice remaking the relationship between representation and the world.

This study measures the influence of the distinctive urban landscaper on various modernisms emerging between 1890 and 1950. It particularly explores interactions among literary texts and institutions of cultural production in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and New York. Along with analyses of key modernist texts, each chapter surveys different sites in which modernism emergedpublishing houses, bookstores, discussion circles, salons, and cafsand addresses new urban features, such as the underground transportation system, the suburbs, and the skyscraper. A final chapter considers the construction of literary modernism within cities beyond the anglo-European world.

Haptic sense, which combines touch, kinaesthesis, and proprioception, was fully conceptualized and explored in the modernist period as scientific, technological, and psychological developments radicalized bodily experience. This volume follows four major writers of the modernist canonJames Joyce, Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, and Dorothy Richardsonwho believed haptic experience informed the core of existence in the early twentieth century. Each author was gripped by a fascination with the elusive sense of touch. Going further, they undertook formal experiments within their writing to provoke haptic responses in their audiences.

It reassesses travel writing as an aesthetically and ethically innovative form of contemporary international literature and underscores the crucial role of wonder in the travel narratives of Bruce Chatwin, V.

Eric White identifies new sites of contact between European and American avantgarde artists, situating such figures as William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Jean Toomer, and Alfred Kreymborg within the global design of literary modernism. White focuses on artist-run little magazines, such as Others, The Little Review, Blast, The Dial, Contact, Fire!!, and Pagany, as well as fine-press publications and mainstream print culture, to reset the boundaries that traditionally divide modernist literature into exile and localist categories and regionalist and cosmopolitan factions.

Our Nazis
To what extent should we use historical contexts to derive meaning from medieval and early-modern texts? This volume supports the study of literature in context, uncovering surprising contemporary resonances among the original reading and reception of such works and their study today. Greg Walker underscores the value of conducting historical and cultural analyses alongside traditional literary scholarship, enriching common understandings of early Tudor plays and poems, as well as the perception of those who produced and encountered them. Walker also addresses the risks of historical approaches to literary scholarship, particularly the danger of flattening artistic works into mere secondary sources for the enhancement of greater historical analyses.
GREG WALKER
A fascination with fascism has reemerged in Europe since the end of the Cold War, and many are wondering about its cultural function in our age of commemoration. Focusing on England, this study is the first to consider contemporary representations of Nazis and Nazism in popular and literary fiction, film, television, and art. Petra Rau brings these developments to bear on earlier responses to fascism and demonstrates how, paradoxically, Nazism is now both mediated and mythologized to such an extent that it often replaces critical engagement with actual, violent history.

A critical introduction and opening interview with the poet situates his work within the modernist movement and the contemporary and theoretical voices that informed it.

Leading literary critics and writers discuss for the first time the social, historical, and personal dimensions of Don Patersons poetry and prose, engaging with his collections Rain, Orpheus, Landing Light, The Eyes, Gods Gift to Women, Nil Nil, The Book of Shadows, and Reading Shakespeares Sonnets.
Focusing on the authors experimental prose, relationship with surrealism, and association with Marianne Moore, Linda Anderson explores Elizabeth Bishops treatment of objects and observation. Bishops travels and stuggles reflected her dynamic, internal movements toward her poems, and her frequent return to objects and experiences, writing always across the distance of time, allowed her to incorporate not just memory but also the atmosphere of remembrance into her work. Bishop drew lines between things, figuratively and actually, to understand the dialectical relationship between the loss of objects and their recovery through writing, as well as our separation from and connection to them.

NICOLA ROYAN, EDITOR SARAH DUNNIGAN AND SUZANNE GILBERT, EDITORS
The first contemporary critique of Liz Lochhead since her appointment as Scotlands second Scots Makar, this companion examines her poetry, theater, visual and performing arts work, and her broadcast media. It also covers her playwriting for children and youth; her translations for the stage; and the translation of her texts into foreign languages and cultures. Several poets comment on Lochheads influence, and academic critics from America, Europe, England, and Scotland read her work against feminism, postcolonialism, and cultural history.

With essays on Older Scots, Gaelic, Latin, and English literature, this volume offers a foundational introduction to Scottish texts written in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. It discusses the cultural impact of key Scottish intellectual and political movements and events, such as the Reformation and the Union of the Crowns. Its thematic and genre-specific approach encourages engagement with the cultural and historical assumptions underpinning the Scottish texts of the period, while fully covering writers from Gilbert Hay to Thomas Urquhart.
NICOLA ROYAN
Internationally recognized experts introduce genres and elements of traditional Scottish literatures from the late medieval period to the present, clearly explaining conceptual and theoretical concerns. Contibutors map a diverse cultural history; track ways in which song and music create tradition and its relationship to popular belief; and explain the role of national, cultural, and political ideas in textual preservation and transmission.

The writing of the 1930s is filled with a sense of being caught between, whether between two wars, two generations, modernism and realism, the middle class and the working class, the local and the national, or the national and the international. British literature engaged more overtly with radical politics than ever before or since, testing the limits of difficulty, encryption, and the legacy of modernism. This volume relates 1930s preoccupations to popular culture and international debates while acknowledging regional and gender influences.

Pedzisai Mashiri, Anthropological Linguistics
Jan Blommaert completes a study of the politicization and incorporation of Swahili into the nation-building efforts of 1967, focusing on the influence of Ujamaa ideology on Swahilis formation, treatment, and implementation. The volume merges macroand micro-sociolinguistic approaches, as well as historiographic and political-analytic research, contributing substantially to the study of African political ideologies and to research on the continuity between colonial and postcolonial language policy. This edition includes a new chapter on enregistering the nation and updates code-switching and language policy and ideology discussions.
JAN BLOMMAERT
In formal semantics, structure is treated as the essential ingredient in the creation of sentence meaning from individual word meaning. This approach synthesizes the traditions of logical language analysis with the scientific findings of contemporary empirical linguistics. The study of formal semantic composition processes introduces new ways to understand language meaning, and in an accessible style, with ample examples and exercises, this volume reveals the beauty and elegance of the mathematical study of meaning. Designed as a quick yet thorough introduction to one of the most vibrant areas of research in modern linguistics today, this book is an essential companion for students and instructors of linguistics, logic, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and the philosophy of language.

The first textbook to demonstrate TESOL methods in global contexts, this volume covers core concepts from vocabulary and grammar to teaching, writing, speaking, and listening. It emphasizes contemporary interpretations and their effect on language classrooms worldwide while investigating the meaning of methods and methodology and their influence on teaching. The volume explores different approaches to language teaching and ways to develop these methods in relation to common understandings of language, learning technologies, and learners and to consider their sociocultural context. It covers the impact of learner needs, context, and culture on language, learning, and teaching approaches; knowledge of language and its impact on methods; and the development of multiple literacies and competences for the modern world.

JOANNA GAVINS
Literary critics have attached the term absurd to a vast array of midcentury literary prose fiction, agreeing on its philosophical and thematic characteristics yet failing to identify its stylistic, generic, and temporal qualities. Adopting a stylistic, audiencecentered approach, this study launches a coherent, linguistically rigorous intervention into the discourse features of absurdist literature. The term absurd is here exposed as a critically ill defined concept, and Joanna Gavins showcases examples of its regular misuse in online forums and face-to-face interactions and on literary tagging websites. Engaging with a diverse range of literary texts, both prose and poetry, classic and contemporary, Gavins uniquely deploys a cognitive-stylistic approach to redefine this important body of work.
JOANNA GAVINS
This book surveys pragmatic markers in a corpus of spoken English, focusing on the functions performed by the markers in different types of text. Karen Aijmer explores the syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and discourse aspects of the markers. By adopting a broader perspective on the markers, classifying them, describing their class-specific properties, and analyzing individual markers, she assesses whether any generalizations can be made about their prosody.
KARIN AIJMER
Pragmatic markers are multifunctional, making it difficult to describe their meaning and potential. In particular, we know little about pragmatic markers and prosody, their sociolinguistic use, or their distribution across text types.

An essential introduction to historical pragmatics, this guide provides students with a solid understanding of the tradition and methodology behind analzying language within different social, cultural, and historical contexts. Using a number of case studies illustrating the concepts of politeness and the theories of news and scientific discourse, among other practical aspects, the text offers fresh insight into the study of discourse markers, interjections, terms of address, and speech acts. By addressing methodological problems in the use of historical data, students also engage with key concerns in historical pragmatics and recent research on the interface between language and literature.

Rich with examples of standard and nonstandard English-language practices in Britain, Australia, the United States, and other English-speaking countries, this volume is the first to consider English-language varieties in transnational geographical and social contexts. The text introduces the terminology and theories behind auditory and acoustic phonetics and draws on cognition, speech technology, linguistic theory, and forensic speech science. The volume helps readers derive meaning from sociophonetic literature and find the confidence to undertake their own research. The text explains how phonetic difference can geographically and socially place speakers and covers the fundamentals of language change and applied linguistics. It also details the use of sociophonetics in professional practice and how to conduct sociophonetics in multiple methodologies and disciplines.

Creating Worldviews
Linguists including Edward Sapir, Benjamin Lee Whorf, and Noam Chomsky, philosophers such as Heidegger, and sociologists such as Alan Bourdieu all support the idea of language shaping the worldview of a linguistic community. Even though this argument was first advanced by the Prussian philologist and politician Wilhelm von Humboldt (17671835), the linguists theories on thought and language remain largely unknown in the English-speaking world. James Underhills rigorously researched study clarifies the main ideas and proposals of Humboldts linguistic philosophy and explains how intellectuals and linguists can adopt and adapt his ideas today. He provides a glossary of terms to illustrate key concepts and aid in the translation of Humboldts German-language terminology.

From his breakthrough short films in the early 1990s and feature debut TwentyFourSeven (1997), to his BAFTA-winning This Is England (2007) and its hit television spinoff, director Shane Meadows has emerged as one of the most distinctive and influential voices in contemporary British cinema. Danny Perkins, the CEO of StudioCanal UK, credits This Is England with doing more than any other [film] to change British audiences attitudes to home-grown cinema. This book explores the range of Meadows work and situates it within British cinema history and culture.

The volume investigates the possibilities and limits of contemporary utopic visions built into urban forms and the role of theaters in creating vibrant public spaces. This volume has vast applications for film and media studies, urban studies, and research in cultural geography.

Latin American films such as Central do Brasil (1998), Nueve Reinas (2000), Amores perros (2000), Y tu mama tambien (2001), Hijo de la novia (2001), and Cidade de deus (2002) enjoyed unprecedented critical and commercial success when they debuted. They were followed by the equally critical and commercially successful deterritorialized films of Alejandro Gonzlez Irritu, Alfonso Cuarn, Guillermo del Toro, Fernando Meirelles, and Walter Salles.

In Scotland, the remarkable metamorphosis of eighteenth-century Edinburgh, from crisis conditions in the 1690s to the establishment of the Union, the intellectual heights of Enlightenment, and the development of the spectacular New Town, owed a great deal to those who spent their professional lives in the Court of Session as members of the College of Justice. James Boswell, Lord Kames, Henry Dundas, and Walter Scott are just some of the individuals who emerged from the College to influence Scotlands place in Europe. This study investigates the importance of College members in the cultural and economic growth of Scotland.

One of the most remarkable characteristics of the European Court of Human Rights and its highly acclaimed judicial tribunal in Strasbourg is the extensive obligations of contracting states to give effect to its judgments. This text relates how marginalized individuals, civil society, and minority actors strategically take recourse in the Strasbourg court for the purpose of challenging state laws, policies, and practices. Scholarly literature has so far failed to investigate thoroughly these bottom-up dynamics and their influence on the domestic implementation of human rights.

It unpacks the significance of recent high-profile controversies surrounding Scottish football clubs and roots out the reasons for the institutions continuing bigotry and sectarianism.

This engrossing, entertaining history recreates and reclaims these achievements, recounting Glasgows Big Bang of 1863, the controversy surrounding the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, and the contributions of the citys former eight observatories. David Clarke fully integrates social history into his scientific narrative to create a fascinating and informative work.
DAVID CLARKE
It is remarkable that Glasgows first astronomy courses before the Copernican revolution, positioned the Earth at the center of the universe. Glasgow was later known for its highly advanced telescope observations of sunspots, made by Alexander Wilson in the eighteenth century. The city also achieved a number of other milestones historians have failed to appreciate, including theories relating to lights mono-chromaticity; the identification of dew point and hoar frost; and John Herschels use of Glasgow-made thermometers to isolate infrared energy within solar radiation.
In its first few centuries, Rome grew from a minor settlement on the Tiber River to the most powerful city-state in all of Italy. This book maps the drivers of Romes expansion and takes stock of its successes within a highly competitive environment. It notes what the city-state owed to its neighbors and identifies the key characteristics, such as a powerful ruling elite, stable political institutions, openness to outsiders, and intense militarism, that contributed to Romes ascendance and shaped its monarchy and republic.

Long believed to have subjected the Greeks to four hundred years of slavery and barbarous rule, the history of the Ottoman Empire (referred to as the Turkish yoke) is completely recast by the young scholars in this volume. Based mainly though not exclusively in Greece, these contributors reject common, monochromatic views of Ottoman rule in favor of a more nuanced approach to the Greek experience. Their original work is rooted in extensive Greek materials, allowing English-speaking readers to encounter these sources for the first time.

This extended period in modern Greek history witnessed the creation of a Greek nation-state that profoundly affected citizens within the nation and the diaspora. In addition to examining these events, this volume follows changes in Greek identity and patterns of migration, examining key themes integral to the shaping of Greek culture, the formation of the nation-state, the growth of a multifaceted, multinational social structure, and the development of a transnational Greek culture.

At the heart of the first Persian Empire (559 331 B.C.E.) and its vast dominions was the person of the Great King. Hidden behind the walls of his immense palace, surrounded by the complex rituals of court ceremony, the Persian monarch was the undisputed master of his realm, a godlike figure inspiring awe, majesty, and mystery. Yet the Great Kings court was no mere platform for meaningless theatrical display. Presentation mattered, and nobles vied for position and prestige while the royal family struggled to resist various successions, conflicts, murders, and usurpations. This book puts the court at the center of political decision making in early Persia and recognizes its major contribution to cultural expression.
LLOYD LLEWELLYN-JONES
This book addresses two historical mysteries: the content and character of fourthcentury B.C.E. Greek works on the Persian Achaemenid Empire, treatises called the Persica; and the methods of the secondcentury biographer Plutarch of Chaeronea (45120 C.E.), who based his biographies on these works, particularly his Life of the Persian King Artaxerxes. Confronting both topics simultaneously, Eran Almagor proposes a new approach to their entangled problems and offers a better understanding of both the portrayal of ancient Persia in the lost Persica works and the manner of their reception and adaptation nearly five hundred years later.

The contributors to this volume examine different types and genres of intelligence history written since the end of World War II, from memoirs and scholarly texts to conspiracy-laden exposs and spy novels. Each chapter is grounded in new archival materials and centers either on a particular book or series of books, weighing issues of production, censorship, representation, and reception.

Almost every state has a written constitution, and in a great majority, the document controls the organs of the state. Yet is good government feasible under a constitutional system and is such a system the best device to rule a country? Can the domain in which the people rule be reconciled with the elite realm of law? This volume strives to bridge these seemingly exclusive sovereignties of power, using case studies of constitutional democracies across the globe. It especially scrutinizes the value of the American experience, which has become a quasi-religious doctrine dominating western constitutional thought.

Politicians and the press routinely exploit the word evil, deploying such phrases as evil regimes or the Axis of Evil to add controversy to already charged issues and events. What is the effect of this practice on political theory and notions of relativist morality? The contributors to this volume systematically explore competing definitions of evil and their political spin, revealing the role of modern-day conceptions of evil in the shaping of international humanitarian law, postconflict outcomes, and forgiveness. Surprisingly, they find modern cultures agree on the shared evils now confronting human civilization: genocide, torture, and slavery.

Garrett Wallace Brown explores and defends topics in cosmopolitanism, such as cosmopolitan law, cosmopolitan rights, the laws of hospitality, the Kantian federation of states, the cosmopolitan epistemology of culture, and a possible normative basis for a Kantian form of global distributive justice. Brown reads Kants cosmopolitan thought as a form of international constitutional jurisprudence requiring minimal legal demands, allowing it to satisfy communitarian, realist, and pluralist concerns without surrendering cosmopolitan principles of human worth and law. He ultimately provides a more comprehensive understanding of Kantian cosmopolitanism and its normative implications for contemporary international political theory.

Deliberative Democracy

Human rights are violated at an unprecedented scale, often by the very sovereign states claiming to protect them. According to Giorgio Agamben, this is no coincidence. Poor human rights are a reflection of our growing powerlessness and political alienation in the face of a globalized sovereign state of exception. Building on Agambens critique, the authors identify paradoxes central to the politics of human rights, exploring questions of statelessness, exclusion, the violence of securitization, and the visual representation of refugees and illegal migrants. They radically rethink human rights, disengaged from humanitarianism, biopolitics, sovereignty, and the society of the spectacle.

Deliberative democracy, a form of democracy in which deliberation is central to decision making, is a dominant research concern among contemporary democratic and political theorists.
In this book, leading scholars confront key issues surrounding the theory and practice of deliberative democracy. Each chapter centers on the factors determining the behavior of deliberative democracies, which are an ongoing source of debate within the field, and include conflict, inequality, pluralism, participation, and the public sphere.

Scotlands Choices
In 2014, Scotlands citizens will vote on a referendum for independence and, potentially, a question on devolution max. If they reject both, the Calman Commissions recommendations for further devolution, particularly enhanced financial devolution, will likely go into effect. If the Scots say yes to independence or devo-max, Westminster, the United Kingdom, and the Scottish nation will enter unprecedented political waters. Written by experts reporting from the heart of the Scottish independence struggle, this volume explains the statehood options available to the Scottish people and explores the possible effect of independence, devo-max, or a Calman regime.

Poverty, exclusion, and lack of participation are symptomatic of state- and market-based approaches to human rights. Oche Onazi uses Nigeria to demonstrate the idea of community as a better alternative, capable of inspiring the poor and the vulnerable to organize and claim ownership of the processes determining their rights. Onazi outlines a paradigm better disposed to the ramifications of development and shows how the interaction between community and human rights actors can create more responsive solutions. Acknowledging the strengths and weakenesses of various human rights approaches, Onazi firmly situates the idea of community within the theory and practice of international rights discourse.

Philosophical conceptions of the immigrant experience rest largely on outdated, preWorld War II portrayals of tyrannized European migrants escaping to North America to claim a slice of unsettled lands. This flawed portrait has skewed the fundamental moral principles informing immigration law and practiceand not just in the West.
This volume dismantles and rebuilds our understanding of international immigration law, arguing individual countries should fashion and adopt their own unique set of immigration policies. The text offers definitive claims about who is allowed to become a member of a political community and under what circumstances states can justly admit or exclude prospective migrants. The study concludes with concrete recommendations for policy.

Valerie Anishchenkova uses contemporary Arab autobiography to investigate modes of cultural identity in twentieth-century Arab societies. During this period, autobiographical texts moved from exemplary life narratives to more unorthodox techniques, such as erotic memoir writing, postmodernist self-fragmentation, cinematographic selfprojection, and autobiographical blogging. Anishchenkova sees the Arabic autobiographical genre as a mobile, unrestricted category arming authors with narrative tools for articulating selfhood. Reading works from Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Syria, and Lebanon, Anishchenkova connects the centurys rapid political and ideological developments to increasing autobiographical experimentation in Arabic works.

In order to understand contemporary Arab thought, one must travel back to the beginnings of Arab modernity: the nahdah, or Arab renaissance, of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Abdulrazzak Patel privileges important internal developments within Arab culture, not just external forces. He connects key achievements to the rise and development of the nahdah, including humanism, which laid the foundations for many of the periods linguistic, literary, and educational achievements. He casts the nahdah as the product of native development and foreign assistance and presents its reformist thought as hybrid in nature.

This volume focuses on the relationship between Arab Christians and the nationalist movement in Palestine as the British Mandate unfolded throughout the first half of the twentieth century (19171948). Its portrayal of individual behaviors and beliefs, including those of Christian organizations (both religious and social), undermines dominant paradigms envisioning Arab Christians as prone to communalism. Instead, this study shows they were as likely as their Muslim counterparts to support nationalism. Noah Haiduc-Dale refuses to stereotype Arab Christian behavior and belief by appreciating a range of Christian activities under the Mandate.

The use of the written word grew significantly in Egypt and Syria between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries, and within these societies, more and more groups began to participate in individual and communal acts of reading. New reading sessions, revised schoolroom curricula, the growth of endowed libraries, and the increasing presence of popular written literature all attest to the profound transformation of cultural practices and social contexts. Consulting a range of documentary, narrative, and normative sources, Konrad Hirschler explores the growth of reading audiences in a preprint culture and develops a progressive, vibrant history around the key themes of literacy, orality, and aurality.

Drawing on innovative research into Omani religious and social traditions, as well as ethnographic studies of Omani language and customs, it is the first book to connect Omans international relations concretely to its history, culture, and social organization. Jeremy Jones and Nicholas Ridout situate Oman at the center of broader colonial narratives, Cold War machinations, and ongoing tensions between Islam and the West, ultimately revealing the nations behind-thescenes role in Iranian-U.S. relations and the Middle East peace process.

By the end of the nineteenth century, Egypt had become deeply unsettled by conflicting political currents and fluctuating economic, geopolitical, social, cultural, and demographic conditions. Like its twentiethcentury fin-de-sicle, much of the countrys ferment foreshadowed the disruptive events of subsequent decades. Engaging with questions of political engagement, shifting gender roles, geographical ambiguities, the emergence of new media, community identity, and changing artistic formations, this study upends the view that 1890s Egypt was a time of withdrawal and quiescence. It also draws parallels between the events of the nineteenth-century fin-de-sicle and todays Arab Spring.

Ycel Yankda explores how, during World War I, Ottoman prisoners of war and military doctors discursively constructed their nation as a communityand, at the same time, attempted to exclude certain groups from that nation. Those left out were not always the ethnic or religious Other many would expect. While educated officer prisoners excluded uncivilized and illiterate peasants from their national ideal, doctors used international sociomedicine as the basis for determining which officers, enlisted men, and civilians should be deemed genetically weak and unworthy of citizenship.

Considering a range of financial institutions based in Britain, the text investigates ethical finances positive image and its definition of ethical practice. It takes stock of the sectors principles and actions and its relationship to Islamic politics, society, and religion, and it explores whether the terms Islamic and ethical can be truly synonymous in such a context.

This book presents a coherent body of economic theory for students and practitioners of Islamic finance, outlining the relationship between maqasid (the practical objectives of Shariah) and the modern development of the industry. It identifies the convergence of Islamic and conventional economic approaches and their differences, as in the banning of usury and other Shariah-prohibited trade practices. It also explains the maqasid economic rationale behind precluding interest rates on money capital from legitimate economic exchange.

Deleuzian thought is significantly altering research practices in the social sciences, especially through its effective challenge to the false divide between theory and practice. This book brings together international academics from a range of social science and humanities disciplines to reflect on Deleuzian philosophys immense capacity to open up and shape methodologies and practices in empirical research.

Moving from the formal to the postformal mode of education, these essays explore the act as an experimental and experiential process of becoming grounded in life, which reflects the becoming-Other of Deleuzian thought. Contributors include Ronald Bogue (University of Georgia) and James Williams (University of Dundee), who address such concerns as the conceptualization of ethics, the teaching of mathematics, the phenomenon of learning, the relationship between social experience and educational futures, the difference between subjectivity and creativity, the role of pedagogy in literacy, and the value of arts versus science education.

The volume unpacks implicit and explicit references to race across Deleuzes entire body of work, with a special focus on the capitalism and schizophrenia books, written with Flix Guattari. Contributions pair Deleuze with other theorists, including Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Paul Gilroy, broadening the collections scope to continental philosophy and critical theory. Scholars draw on the arts, current affairs, and history and include Claire Colebrook (Penn State University), John E. Drabinski (Amherst College), Ian Buchanan (Cardiff University), and Laura U.

Deleuzian philosophy has inspired architectural thinking, reflected in the design of global, contemporary built environments. Deleuze has also alerted architects to the ecological, political, and social problems of their field. This collection critically engages with Deleuzian challenges to architecture, examining its complex politics of space in our increasingly networked world. Fifteen essays by interdisciplinary scholars, including John Rajchman (Columbia University), Elizabeth Grosz (Rutgers University), and Brian Massumi (European Graduate School), engage with contemporary approaches to architectural theory and practice and outline radical agendas for the future practice of Deleuzian thought.

Untimely Affects
Sexuality has become a vital means of discussing the particularities of Gilles Deleuzes philosophical texts and the status and role of his work in current research. Intervening in fields that include posthumanist, disability, animal, and feminist studies, and engaging with current critiques of capitalism and consumerism, Frida Beckman recovers a theory of sexuality in Deleuzes work that contributes to cultural, conceptual, and political debates on sexuality. She revisits Deleuzes work from historical and conceptual viewpoints and traces his interaction with other thinkers and sexuality in practice. Most intriguingly, she analyzes the similarities, differences, and interrelations between Deleuzian thought and Foucaults philosophical and political projects.
FRIDA BECKMAN
From the 1980s onward, Gilles Deleuze turned to cinemas ability to help us see and interact ethically and politically. He focuses on affect and how it might be revealed through film, and he alludes to something unbearable, beyond the limit that the medium represents. Among the factors giving rise to the cinematic time-image, Deleuze cites the Second World War and its violent impact on thought. Using the cinema of Alain Resnais and Chris Marker, Nadine Boljkovac positions the medium as a means of ethical resistance. Analyzing filmic representation and the cinematic experience in terms of affect, sensation, and actual and virtual violence, she forges innovative relationships among poststructuralist philosophy, ethics, and modern cinema.

Twentieth-century French feminism has sought to liberate the female body from the confines of patriarchal logos and inscribe its rhythms in writing. Amaleena Daml explores contemporary female corporeality and transformation among current philosophers and French-language texts.
Following the evolution of womens writing in the years before and after the millennium, Daml concentrates on the intersection of philosophy and literature in the work of Amlie Nothomb, Ananda Devi, Marie Darrieussecq, and Nina Bouraoui. Incorporating concepts from Gilles Deleuze and Flix Guattari, she maps the full contestation, exception, and transformation of the female bodys traditional limits.

Reading the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas against postcolonial theories of difference, particularly those of Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, douard Glissant, and Subcommandante Marcos, John E. Drabinski reconceives notions of difference, language, subjectivity, ethics, and politics and provides new perspectives on these important postcolonial theorists.
JOHN E. DRABINSKI
This collection outlines the central tenets of Gilbert Simondons thought, its applications to a number of disciplines, and the philosophers relationship with such thinkers as Heidegger, Deleuze, and Canguilhem.

Difficult Atheism
An important, intelligent book. . . . This indispensable volume enhances understanding of the French cultural and political context of Derridas thinking.
Choice
Christopher Watkin probes the limits of an atheistic politics, arguing that rigorous atheism is elusive and that Continental thought, even at its most stridently atheistic, has yet to fully come to terms with the death of God.
CHRISTOPHER WATKIN
Judith Still contextualizes Jacques Derridas work within Frances sociopolitical history, especially in relation to Algeria and his interactions with such writers as Hlne Cixous and Emmanuel Levinas. Encompassing the full range of fields influenced by Derridas hospitality work, from geography politics and sociology to literary studies and philosophy, Still revisits the philosophers conclusions on the relationship among individuals, the community, and the state and applies them to the states often inhospitable reception of outsiders, including refugees and migrants.

An increasing number of citizens now live in sprawling, interconnected urban environments as diversified metropolitan geographies eclipse the centuries-old divide between urban and rural areas. This changing landscape has also transformed local sources of electoral politics, and the resulting patterns of electoral support and participation have shifted partisan competition to the right. This volume undertakes the first international comparative analysis of metropolitan political behavior, termed the metropolitanization of politics, providing a powerful new thesis for explaining a number of recent shifts in political preferences and voting habits.

Transnational Policy Innovation underscores the usefulness of concepts of policyinnovation diffusion for understanding the dynamics of transnational governance. The volume calls attention to the OECDs success in framing and diffusing a template of evidence-based decision making, yet it downplays RIA as an instrument of political control, noting its limiting influence on the OECDs peer review and comparative indicators within institutional and administratives settings.
FABRIZIO DE FRANCESCO
Through three empirical, regulatory impact analysis (RIA) case studies, this volume analyzes the role of the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in policyinnovation diffusion, exhibiting the impact of transnational networks on national policy processes. The texts analytical framework showcases the institutional features as well as the internal and international determinants of a policy innovation such as RIA. Drawing on original data sets, case studies measure the extent to which the OECD worked with various governments to adopt, implement, and evaluate RIA.
The Yugoslavian leader Josip Broz Tito once warned one should not hold on to the law like a drunken man holds on to a fence. A still-valid piece of popular wisdom, this statement accurately sums up the persistent problem of authoritarian rule and sham law in southeastern Europe. This volume investigates why the postcommunist democratic transition of southeastern Europe fell so short of initial expectations, connecting the failure of democratization to the dominance and interference of authoritarian parties in the processes of regime change. These parties established and implemented practices of nondemocratic governance that continue to subvert the rule of law more than twenty years after communism ended. In a rare move, the text empirically supports the argument that a double movement thwarted the postsocialist transformation of the region, in which nondemocratic practices of rule subverted the advance toward more formal democratic institutions. This conflicting development explains why improvements to formal democratic institutions failed to produce expected democratic outcomes.

Transitional justice helps those who have been forced from their homes by human rights violations. These individuals also frequently suffer additional abuses while displaced. Transitional justice measures can respond to these injustices as well, though few have investigated or written about such outcomes. The result of a collaborative research project undertaken by the International Center for Transitional Justice and the BrookingsLondon School of Economics Project on Internal Displacement, Transitional Justice and Displacement examines the capacity of transitional justice measures to address displacement, engage the justice claims of displaced persons, and support durable solutions for justice. The text analyzes the links between transitional justice and the interventions of humanitarian, development, and peace-building actors. Making a compelling case for ensuring justice measures address displacement and that responses to displacement incorporate transitional justice, this urgent volume marks the fifth, critical installment in the International Center for Transitional Justices Advancing Transitional Justice series.
