Maisky Diaries: The Wartime Revelations of Stalin's Ambassador in London Ivan MaiskyPbk | 632pp | 9780300221701 | 01‐Jul‐16 | RRP (inc GST) A$42.95 | NZ$49.95 Yale University Press

The terror and purges of Stalin's Russia in the 1930s discouraged Soviet officials from leaving documentary records let alone keeping personal diaries. A remarkable exception is the unique diary assiduously kept by Ivan Maisky, the Soviet ambassador to London between 1932 and 1943. This selection from Maisky's diary, never before published in English, grippingly documents Britain's drift to war during the 1930s, appeasement in the Munich era, negotiations leading to the signature of the Ribbentrop‐Molotov Pact, Churchill's rise to power, the German invasion of Russia, and the intense debate over the opening of the second front.

Hbk | 296pp | 9780300210910 | 07‐Jun‐16 | RRP (inc GST) A$39.95 | NZ$46.95 Yale University Press

Barbra Streisand has been called the "most successful...talented performer of her generation" by Vanity Fair, and her voice, said pianist Glenn Gould, is "one of the natural wonders of the age." Neal Gabler examines Streisand's life and career through this prism of otherness‐a Jew in a gentile world, a self‐proclaimed homely girl in a world of glamour, a kooky girl in a world of convention‐and shows how central it was to Streisand's triumph as one of the voices of her age. An enthralling appreciation of the monumentally gifted popular artist and cultural icon who challenged Hollywood’s standards of beauty and glamour.

An intimate glimpse into the public and private world of one of history's most famous‐ and infamous‐queens Marie‐Antoinette (1755‐1793) continues to fascinate historians, writers, and filmmakers more than two centuries after her death.

Hbk | 224pp | 9781784534882 | 01‐Jul‐16 | RRP (inc GST) A$43.95 | NZ$49.95 IB Tauris & Co Ltd

ISIS (or the Islamic State) is the most dramatic expression of a new era in international politics: uprisings which transform into "irregular warfare". ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, the Taliban are all separate manifestations of a new non‐state dynamic which has begun to drive international conflict and which now represents a new form of asymmetric and hybrid warfare. In this important and original new analysis, Paul Rogers, the distinguished global security specialist, provides a much‐needed account of the rise of such global terrorist movements from the margins and presents a new argument as troubling as it is compelling: if the rise of ISIS can overthrow powerful states in a matter of weeks, what kind of a secure future can the world expect?

Decolonizing Solidarities is a thorough examination of the problems that can arise when activists from colonial backgrounds seek to be politically supportive of indigenous struggles.

Based on a wealth of in‐depth interviews and original research, Decolonizing Solidarities also has a focus on Australia.

Passchendaele – The Untold Story 3ed Robin Prior and Trevor Wilson

Pbk | 280pp | 9780300221213 | 01‐Apr‐16 | RRP (inc GST) A$32.95 | NZ$37.95 Yale University Press

No conflict of the Great War excites stronger emotions than the war in Flanders in the autumn of 1917, and no name better encapsulates the horror and apparent futility of the Western Front than Passchendaele. By its end there had been 275,000 Allied and 200,000 German casualties. Yet the territorial gains made by the Allies in four desperate months were won back by Germany in only three days the following March. The devastation at Passchendaele, the authors argue, was neither inevitable nor inescapable; perhaps it was not necessary at all. Using a substantial archive of official and private records, much of which has never been previously consulted, Trevor Wilson and Robin Prior provide the fullest account of the campaign ever published.

In Grimm Legacies, esteemed literary scholar Jack Zipes explores the legacy of the Brothers Grimm in Europe and North America, from the nineteenth century to the present. Zipes reveals how the Grimms came to play a pivotal and unusual role in the evolution of Western folklore and in the history of the most significant cultural genre in the world—the fairy tale. Zipes looks at the transformation of the Grimms’ tales into children’s literature, the Americanization of the tales, the “Grimm” aspects of contemporary tales, and the tales’ utopian impulses. He shows that the Grimms were not the first scholars to turn their attention to folk tales, but were vital in expanding readership and setting the high standards for folk tale collecting that continue through the current era.

Anxious children may be afraid to be out of their parents’ sight; they may refuse to talk except to specific people or under specific circumstances; they may insist on performing tasks such as brushing teeth or getting ready for bed in a rigidly specific way. For many children these difficulties interfere with doing well in school and making friends as well as with daily activities like sleeping, eating, and bathing. In Calming Your Anxious Child, Dr. Kathleen Trainor builds on cognitive behavioral therapy to provide practical steps for guiding parents through the process of helping their children manage their anxieties and gain control over their worry‐based behaviors.

Culture Terry Eagleton


Culture is a defining aspect of what it means to be human. Defining culture and pinpointing its role in our lives is not, however, so straightforward. Terry Eagleton, one of our foremost literary and cultural critics, is uniquely poised to take on the challenge. In this keenly analytical and acerbically funny book, he explores how culture and our conceptualizations of it have evolved over the last two centuries‐from rarified sphere to humble practices, and from a bulwark against industrialism's encroaches to present‐day capitalism's most profitable export.

Play All – A Bingewatcher’s Notebook Clive James

Hbk | 216pp | 9780300218091 | 27‐Jul‐16 | RRP (inc GST) A$33.95 | NZ$44.95 Yale University Press

Between 1972 and 1982, Clive James wrote a weekly column about television for the London Observer. By his own account, he failed to foresee the startling upsurge of compelling dramas that would revivify the small screen in the twenty‐first century. Indeed, binge‐watching through box‐sets, Netflix, and other platforms is now ubiquitous and few doubt the general cultural importance of what many agree is a TV renaissance. In his encounter with the seductions of serial viewing, James, always at pains to banish the phony boundary between “high” and “low” culture, grapples with the new mythology that marks the stories now being told on television. Television characters are now many people’s first frame of reference, where it was once classic literature; and, as James argues, this is no bad

In this rich and multi‐textured biography, Philip C Almond explores the figure of the devil from the first centuries of the Christian era through the rise of classical demonology and witchcraft persecutions to the modern post‐Enlightenment ‘decline’ of Hell, showing that the Prince of Darkness, in all his incarnations, remains an irresistible subject in history, religion, art, literature and culture.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long‐term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty‐First Century, Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. Capital in the Twenty‐First Century won the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2014.

Phishing for Phools: The Economics of Manipulation and Deception George Akerlof and Robert ShillerPbk | 288pp | 9780691173023 | 01‐Aug‐16 | RRP (inc GST) A$37.95 | NZ$43.95 Princeton University Press

Ever since Adam Smith, the central teaching of economics has been that free markets provide us with material well‐being, as if by an invisible hand. In Phishing for Phools, Nobel Prize‐winning economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller deliver a fundamental challenge to this insight, arguing that markets harm as well as help us. As long as there is profit to be made, sellers will systematically exploit our psychological weaknesses and our ignorance through manipulation and deception. Rather than being essentially benign and always creating the greater good, markets are inherently filled with tricks and traps and will "phish" us as "phools." Phishing for Phools therefore strikes a radically new direction in economics, based on the intuitive idea that markets both give and take away.

In this provocative book, Yanis Varoufakis ‐ the fiery finance minister in Greek’s new Syriza‐led government ‐explodes the myth that financialisation, ineffective regulation of banks, and generalised greed and globalisation were the root causes of the global economic crisis. Rather, he shows, they are symptoms of a much deeper malaise, one that can be traced all the way back to the Great Depression, then through the stagflation of the 1970s, when a “Global Minotaur” was born.

This book provides a tour of the "greatest hits" of cosmological discoveries ‐ the ideas that reshaped our universe over the past century. The cosmos, once understood as a stagnant place, filled with the ordinary, is now a universe that is expanding at an accelerating pace, propelled by dark energy and structured by dark matter. Priyamvada Natarajan, our guide to these ideas, is someone at the forefront of the research ‐ an astrophysicist who literally creates maps of invisible matter in the universe.

In 1936, when he was just twenty‐four years old, Alan Turing wrote a remarkable paper in which he outlined the theory of computation, laying out the ideas that underlie all modern computers. This groundbreaking and powerful theory now forms the basis of computer science. In Turing's Vision, Chris Bernhardt explains the theory, Turing's most important contribution, for the general reader. Bernhardt argues that the strength of Turing's theory is its simplicity, and that, explained in a straightforward manner, it is eminently understandable by the nonspecialist.

With its vibrant cities and breathtaking landscapes, Scotland has captivated writers and visitors for centuries and inspired a diverse range of literature, from the religious poems carved on the rocks of its sacred monuments to the seedy urban novels of Irvine Welsh. For Robert Burns, Scotland's iconic poet, the culture of his native country was a fertile ground for his imagination. Sir Walter Scott drew on the nation's past, and on the stirring mountains and lochs of the Highlands, as he pioneered the historical novel. Some of the most famous early literary tourists, including James Boswell, Samuel Johnson, and Dorothy and William Wordsworth, wrote captivating accounts of their travels in Scotland.
