Travelling to InfinityMy Life with StephenDr Jane Hawking, who was Stephen Hawking’s wife for over twenty years, is a writer and lecturer. Her book At Home in France was published in 1994, followed by Music to Move the Stars in 1999. She lives and works in Cambridge. In this compelling memoir, Professor Stephen Hawking's first wife Jane relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen’s academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of motor-neuron disease, and Jane’s candid account of trying to balance his twenty-four-hour care with the needs of their growing family will be inspirational to anyone dealing with family illness. The inner strength of the author, and the self-evident character and achievements of her husband, make for an incredible tale that is always presented with unflinching honesty; the author’s candour is no less evident when the marriage finally ends in a high-profile meltdown, with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses, while Jane goes on to marry an old family friend. In this exceptionally open, moving and often funny memoir, Jane Hawking confronts not only the acutely complicated and painful dilemmas of her first marriage, but also the faultlines exposed in a relationship by the pervasive effects of fame and wealth.

Memoir

The Obama SyndromeSurrender at Home, War AbroadTariq Ali is a writer and filmmaker. He has written more than a dozen books on world history and politics, as well as scripts for the stage and screen. He is an editor of New Left Review and lives in London.What has really changed since Bush left the White House? Very little, argues Tariq Ali, apart from the mood music. The hopes aroused during Obama’s election campaign have rapidly receded—the honeymoon has been short. Following the financial crisis, the “reform” president bailed out Wall Street without getting anything in return. With Democratic Party leaders and representatives mired in the corrupt lobbying system, the plans for reforming the healthcare system lie wrecked on the Senate floor. Abroad, the “war on terror” continues: torture on a daily basis in the horror chamber that is Bagram, Iraq occupied indefinitely, Israel permanently appeased, and more troops to Afghanistan and more drone attacks in Pakistan than under Bush. The fact that Obama has proved incapable of shifting the political terrain even a few inches in a reformist direction will pave the way for a Republican surge and triumph in the not too distant future.

Seeds of TerrorHow Heroin is Bankrolling the Taliban and al QaedaGretchen Peters has covered Pakistan and Afghanistan for more than a decade, first for the Associated Press and later for ABC News in the US. A Harvard graduate, Peters was nominated for an Emmy for her coverage of the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto and won the SAJA Journalism Award for a Nightline segment on Pervez Musharraf. She lives in the US.Seeds of Terror will reshape the way you think about the West’s enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals who earn half a billion pounds every year off the opium trade. With the breakneck pace of a thriller, author Gretchen Peters traces their illicit activities from vast poppy fields in southern Afghanistan to heroin labs run by Taliban commanders, from drug convoys armed with Stinger missiles to the money launderers of Karachi and Dubai. Based on hundreds of interviews with Taliban fighters, smugglers, and law enforcement and intelligence agents, Peters makes the case that we must cut terrorists off from their drug earnings if we ever hope to beat them.

Bombing CiviliansA Twentieth-Century HistoryMarilyn B. Young is a professor of history at New York University. She has been a Guggenheim Fellow and is the author of numerous books and co-editor of Iraq and the Lessons of Vietnam; Yuki Tanaka is Research Professor at Hiroshima Peace Institute of Hiroshima City University. Since the mid-1980s he has been concentrating his research on war crimes and is the author of several books.With contributions from scholars from Japan, the United States, and Europe, Bombing Civilians examines a crucial question: why did military planning in the early twentieth century shift its focus from bombing military targets to bombing civilians? From the British bombing of Iraq in the early 1920s to the most recent conflicts in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon, Bombing Civilians analyzes in detail the history of indiscriminate bombing, examining the fundamental questions of how this theory justifying mass killing originated and why it was employed as a compelling military strategy for decades, both before and since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The book includes major new arguments, such as Japanese historian Tsuyoshi Hasegawa’s bold claim that it was the Soviet invasion rather than the atomic bombs that compelled the Japanese to surrender in the Pacific War.

I Drink Therefore I amA Philosopher’s Guide to WineProfessor Roger Scruton, American Enterprise Institute, Washington.Whether or not good for the body, Scrtuton argues, wine, drunk in the right frame of mind, is definitely good for the soul. And there is no better accompaniment to wine than philosophy. By thinking with wine, you can learn not only to drink in thoughts but to think in draughts. This good-humoured book offers an antidote to the pretentious clap-trap that is written about wine today and a profound apology for the drink on which civilisation has been founded. In vino veritas.

Dismantling the EmpireAmerica’s Last Best HopeChalmers Johnson, University of California.Dismantling the Empire explores the subjects for which Johnson is now famous, from the origins of blowback to Barack Obama’s Afghanistan conundrum, including America’s inept spies, its bad behaviour in other countries, its ill-fought wars, and its capitulation to a military that has taken ever more control of the federal budget. There is, he proposes, only one way out: President Obama must begin to dismantle the empire before the Pentagon dismantles the American Dream. If it does not learn from the fates of past empires, he suggests, America’s decline and fall are foreordained.

Framing InnocenceA Mother’s Photographs, a Prosecutor’s Zeal, and a Small Town’s ResponseLynn Powell is the author of two books of poetry, Old & New Testaments and The Zones of Paradise.Ten years ago, amateur photographer Cynthia Stewart dropped off eleven rolls of film at a drugstore near her home in Ohio. The rolls contained photographs of her eight-year-old daughter, including two of the child in the shower - photos that would cause the county prosecutor to arrest Cynthia, threaten to remove her daughter from her home, and charge her with crime that carried the possibility of sixteen years in prison. This riveting and beautifully told story plumbs the perfect storm of events and people that threatened an ordinary family in a small American town.

CaptiveJere Van Dyk has covered stories all over the world, mainly for The New York Times, CBS News, and National Geographic.Jere Van Dyk was on the wrong side of the border. He and three Afghan guides had crossed into the tribal areas of Pakistan, where no Westerner had ventured for years, hoping to reach the home of a local chieftain by nightfall. But then a dozen armed men in black turbans appeared over the crest of a hill. Captive is Van Dyk’s searing account of his forty-five days in a Taliban prison, and it is gripping and terrifying in the tradition of the best prison literature. Van Dyk went to the tribal areas to investigate the challenges facing America there. His story is of a deeper, more personal challenge, an unforgettable tale of human endurance.

The Energy GlutIan Roberts, London School of Health and Tropical Medicine.World-wide, over a billion adults are overweight and 300 million are officially “obese”, more than 3,000 people die every day on the world’s roads and global warming and war threaten our survival as a species. The Energy Glut tells the story of energy and how our abuse of fossil fuel energy links all of these public issues as manifestations of the same fundamental planetary malaise. This exciting new book argues that the pulse of fossil fuel energy released from the ground after the discovery of oil not only started the process of catastrophic climate change, but also propelled the average human weight distribution upwards.

Bombing, States and Peoples in Western Europe, 1940-1945Richard Overy, University of Exeter.With Western Europe now at the heart of a united continent it is ever more difficult to explain how only 70 years ago European states destroyed much of the urban landscape from the air. The purpose of this book is to provide the basis for a comparison of the experience of western states under the impact of bombing. It considers the political, cultural and social responses to bombing rather than the military, strategic and social dimensions which have formed the core of the discussion hitherto. This book will correct the popular perception of the British Blitz as the key bombing experience by exposing the reality of life under the bombs.

As China Goes, So Goes The WorldKarl Gerth, Oxford University.In this revelatory examination of the most overlooked force that is changing the face of China, the Oxford historian and scholar of modern Asia Karl Gerth shows that as the Chinese consumer goes, so goes the world. While Americans and Europeans have become increasingly worried about China’s competition for manufacturing jobs and energy resources, they have overlooked an even bigger story: China’s rapid development of an American-style consumer culture, which is revolutionizing the lives of hundreds of millions of Chinese and has the potential to reshape the world. As China Goes, So Goes the World reveals why we should all care about the everyday choices made by ordinary Chinese.

Shocked and AwedHow the War on Terror and Jihad Have Changed the English LanguageFred Halliday is Professor of International Relations at the LSE.Far more than just a military conflict, the ‘War on Terror’ has been a struggle over values and meanings, a desperate contest for hearts and minds in which language has become the battlefield. Fred Halliday takes us on a tour of this new war-zone, its artillery and trenches, minefields and booby-traps. Scanning the semantic landscape of the post 9/11 world, he uncovers hidden twists of phrasing and word associations, which in themselves tell a story about the violent clash of ideologies that has marked the opening of the 21st century.

Private PicturesSoldiers’ Inside View of WarJanina Struk is a freelance writer, photographer and lecturer and author of Photographing the Holocaust: Interpretation of the Evidence.Snapshots taken by American soldiers of Iraqi prisoners stripped naked, humiliated and tortured, shocked the world in 2004. But, as Private Pictures relates, soldiers have taken photographs of the gruesome or sociable, shocking or mundane aspects of war for more than 100 years. It follows this unacknowledged genre of photography from the origins of popular photography at the time of the Boer War to the digital age. Private Pictures also asks what effect the wider appreciation of soldiers’ pictures might have on the popular perception of war, and on war photography itself.

SAS: The First Secret WarsThe Unknown Years of Combat and Counter-InsurgencyTim Jones, King’s College London.Tim Jones’s fascinating history pieces together the evidence to show that while the Malaya Emergency re-established the SAS as a unique source of counter-guerilla expertise, the regiment was not disbanded in 1945 and was, in fact, covertly involved in the Greek Civil War of 1945-49, a war unmatched in savagery until the Bosnian conflict in the 1990s. Revealing important operational secrets and shedding new light on post-war history, this book will be essential reading for enthusiasts of military history, and those interested in the world of intelligence.

How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? To answer these questions, space agencies set up all manner of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations, and as Mary Roach discovers, it’s possible to preview space without ever leaving Earth. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA’s new space capsule, Roach takes us on a surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth.

The Real Global Warming DisasterIs the Obsession with ‘Climate Change’ Turning Out to Be the Most Costly Scientific Blunder in History?Christopher Booker is the most conspicuous ‘global warming sceptic’ in the British press.This original book considers one of the most extraordinary scientific and political stories of our time: how in the 1980s a handful of scientists came to believe that mankind faced catastrophe from runaway global warming, and how today this has persuaded politicians to land us with the biggest bill in history. Booker shows how just when the politicians are threatening to change our way of life beyond recognition, the evidence behind global warming is being challenged like never before.

MedicineAntiquity and Its LegacyCaroline Petit, University of Manchester.The extent to which classical theories about, and practices of, medical knowledge have shaped and continue to define medicine today is remarkable: but not always widely appreciated. Caroline Petit here offers a concise yet comprehensive account of medicine in antiquity which explores precisely that fascinating legacy. Discussing topics such as medical ethics, diagnostic explorations of illness and disease, matters of sex and gender, the ancient division between body and soul and methods of medical teaching and dissemination, the author draws fascinating parallels between the ancient, early modern and modern periods.

Reclaiming RealityA Critical Introduction to Contemporary PhilosophyRoy Bhaskar is the originator of the philosophy of critical realism.Originally published in 1989, Reclaiming Reality still provides the most accessible introduction to the increasingly influential multi-disciplinary and international body of thought, known as critical realism. Elaborating his critical realist perspective on society, nature, science and philosophy itself, Roy Bhaskar shows how this perspective can be used to undermine currently fashionable ideologies of the Right, and at the same time, to clear the ground for a reinvigorated Left.

He explains how an information-based method allows a more certain reading of a series of texts. He criticises existing modes of arriving at consensus and outlines a process of historical analysis that ultimately leads to questioning historical doubts as well as historical facts, with profound implications for what we can say about the past with certainty.



British Victory in EgyptThe End of Napoleon’s ConquestPiers Mackesy, Pembroke College, Oxford.In 1800 the British army’s reputation was in tatters, having experienced nothing but failure in wars across the world for forty years; at home, a divided cabinet had to face the problem of Egypt, which had been occupied by Napoleon’s Army of the Orient since 1798. The task of ejecting France fell to a disparate band of soldiers led by Sir Ralph Abercromby which, against all the odds, defeated the French army, bringing Napoleon’s Egyptian Campagin to a definitive and crushing end. Piers Mackesy vividly brings to life the events of the battle, revealing how Abercromby’s brilliantly-executed strategy restored the honour of the British army and averted disaster for the Empire.

Israeli ExceptionalismThe Destabilizing Logic of ZionismM. Shahid Alam, Northeastern University, USA.This book discerns in the history of Zionism the plot of a Shakespearean tragedy. A small band of European Zionists enters the world stage in late 19th century, determined to create a Jewish state. To achieve this, they must seize Palestine; induce Western Jews to become colonists; and, above all, recruit Western powers to sponsor their colonial project. Zionists can only succeed by creating Islamicate enemies; they need resurgent anti-Semitism to send Jewish colons to Palestine; and they must persuade/coerce the West to sponsor their colonial project. In Europe, Jewish-Gentile frictions were local problems; in Israel, ominously, they have come to form the pivot of global conflict.



Engaging the Muslim WorldJuan Cole, University of Michigan.Published to critical acclaim, this book separates spin from fact, providing substantive recommendations for how the United States should engage with key countries such as Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, revealing how we can repair the damage done in the past and forge ahead on a path of peace and prosperity. In this revised and updated edition, Cole tackles the Green Revolution in Iran, recent developments in Pakistan, and Obama’s troop surge in Afghanistan.



HaitiThe Tumultuous History - From Pearl of the Caribbean to Broken NationPhillipe Girard, McNeese State University of Louisiana, USA.Why has Haiti been plagued by so many woes? Why has the United States felt a need to repeatedly intervene in Haiti’s affairs? Why have multiple U.S. efforts to create a stable democracy in Haiti failed so spectacularly? Philippe Girard answers these and other questions in Paradise Lost. This book is different from others in the field, arguing that Haitians bear a big share of the responsibility for their nation’s troubles. Paradise Lost addresses the current situation in Haiti by looking to the nation’s tumultuous past.



Dreaming of EdenAmerican Religion and Politics in a Wired WorldThe Reverend Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Chicago Theological Seminary.Thistlethwaite offers a new perspective for how Americans can understand themselves as a nation and their roles in their community and the world. She offers the novel and arresting thesis that the American concept of exceptional innocence, which has dominated the political landscape from the Reagan years forward, is grounded in the deeply ingrained narrative of the Garden of Eden. She argues that this mindset has caused no end of trouble, both domestically and internationally.

The United NationsA Beginner’s GuideNorrie MacQueen, University of Dundee.Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has had a powerful but controversial influence on global politics. In this well-written and informative guide, Norrie MacQueen provides a clear introduction to its institutions, remit, personalities, and role in the modern world. Defending it from common criticisms of bureaucratic paralysis and bias towards the developed world, MacQueen argues that its limitations are due to the complex web of national interests that it seeks to reconcile.



Feminist Theory in Pursuit of the PublicWomen and the “Re-Privatization” of LaborRobin Truth Goodman is an Associate Professor of English at Florida State University.Feminist Theory in Pursuit of the Public argues that feminism needs to develop a theory of the public. The waning power in the public sphere diminishes the influence that citizens have in deciding on the conditions of life, and therefore minimizes the changes that feminists can envision or enact in the social field to work towards equality, access, deliberation, participation, just distribution, rights, and authority for women.



AfricaA Beginner’s GuideTom Young, University of London.Vast, diverse, dynamic, and turbulent, the true nature of Africa is often obscured by its poverty-stricken image. In this controversial and gripping guide, Tom Young cuts through the emotional hype to critically analyse the continent’s political history and the factors behind its dismal economic performance. Maintaining that colonial influences are often overplayed, Young argues that much blame must lie with African governments themselves and that Western aid can often cause as much harm as good.

Unspeakable TruthsFacing the Challenge of Truth CommissionsPriscilla Hayner co-founded the International Center for Transitional Justice.The past decade has opened a new chapter on truth commissions: not only is the general model of a “truth commission” now more widely known and more often employed, but recent examples show a more robust and creative approach to truth-seeking than was generally seen previously. Priscilla Hayner thoroughly analyzes new trends that have emerged since the first edition of this classic work appeared, including an increasing use of public hearings, robust powers of investigation, trauma counseling, reparations, and reintegrating low-level perpetrators back into their communities.

MontgomeryLessons in Leadership from the Soldier's General Trevor Royle is a broadcaster and author specializing in the history of war and empire.Bernard Law Montgomery was a dedicated battlefield tactician, though a controversial one. He was also known as a complicated man whose legacy remains tainted by his insensitive and boastful nature and desire for personal glory - all of which can have dangerous consequences on the battlefield. In the end, though, it was only due to Montgomery’s influence that the weight of the Allied attack at Normandy was increased, and the Allied success of D-Day owes much to his far-sightedness.

Memoir

Letters from London and EuropeGiuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa was a writer, but other than three articles that appeared in an obscure Italian journal in 1926-27, he was unpublished in his own lifetime.The Leopard, published posthumously in 1958, was one of the most important works of fiction to appear in the Italian language in the twentieth century. Between 1925 and 1930, its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, wrote a number of letters to his cousins Casimiro and Lucio Piccolo in which he describes his travels around Europe. The letters, here published in English for the first time, display much of Lampedusa’s distinctive style present in his later work: not only the razor-sharp introspection, but also a wicked sense of humour, playful in its description of the comédie humaine.

Mornings in Mexico D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930), novelist, poet, playwright, painter, critic, is an icon of 20th century literature.Much of D.H. Lawrence’s life was defined by his passion for travel and it was those peripatetic wanderings that gave life to some of his greatest novels. In the 1920s, Lawrence travelled several times to Mexico, where he was fascinated by the clash of beauty and brutality, purity and darkness that he observed there. The spirited eloquence and beauty of the essays in “Mornings in Mexico” thus illuminate the inspiration behind of one of Lawrence’s most loved works and immerse the reader in a portrait of the country like no other. $28.00 Pb, ISBN 9781845118686 October 2009, 96 pagesTauris Parke

Each book includes:* A new introduction to the play by established academics * The play – with clear explanatory notes

on each page * A scene-by-scene analysis * An introduction to Shakespeare’s career and the Elizabethan theatre * A rich exploration of approaches to staging the play

The most enjoyable way to understand a Shakespeare play is to see it or participate in it. These ground breaking editions present a historical overview of Shakespeare’s plays in performance, recommend film versions and look in detail at specific productions (including interviews with leading Directors) so that we may get a sense of the extraordinary variety of interpretations that are possible - a variety that gives Shakespeare his unique capacity to be reinvented and made ‘our con-temporary’ four centuries after his death.

One column layout with plenty of space for notes, on page glossary, on page notes, Folio stage directions, running scene count and line numbers, also make these ideal student editions.

‘The scholarly apparatus is discreet, elegant and pertinent. For each play, we get brief accounts of plots, dates and sources ... footnotes are found snugly and legibly at the bottom of each page … there is a universe to be found in these annotations: the Renaissance world of power and fate, sex and death, language and philosophy. Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen have given us an edition full of endless fascination.’ — Tom Deveson, Times Education Supplement

The Water TheatreLindsay Clarke is the author of seven novels, including The Chymical Wedding, which won the Whitbread Award for Fiction in 1989.As war-reporter Martin Crowther arrives in Umbria, still raw from a recent assignment in Africa, and from a failing love affair back home, a storm hits and the sky opens. Things are powerfully on the move inside him too as he comes to the small village of Fontanalba, on a mission to track down two friends from a lifetime ago. As Martin waits, trapped between duty and desire, he is both intrigued and dismayed by his dealings with a close-knit community, who seem bent on protecting their own - and on shaking the ground of Martin’s life.

The Life of Our LordCharles Dickens now ranks as the most important Victorian writer and one of the most influential and popular authors in the English language.Never published in its author’s lifetime and intended solely for his own children, to whom he read it every Christmas, The Life of Our Lord is an accessible and gently humorous take on the life of Jesus Christ and his teachings. Far removed from the sharp satire and social dimension of his more famous writings, but showcasing his characteristic humanity and genius for storytelling, this is both an essential work for those wanting to see a different, more intimate side to Dickens and a timeless retelling for children and adults alike.

A Struggle for LifeLlewelyn Powys (1884-1939) produced a prolific and eclectic body of work, including essays, a biography, a novel, travel accounts, popular philosophy works and memoirs.A new selection of Llewelyn Powys’s essays, A Struggle for Life attempts to illustrate both the evolution of the author’s thought and writing and the incredible breadth and variety of his interests. At once personal and universal, the twenty-eight pieces contained in this volume - one of them published for the first time and many of them returning to print for the first time in sixty years - tackle themes such as happiness, nature and celebrate rationalism as an alternative to dogma and religion. Powys’s essays combine poignancy and sincerity with irony and subversiveness.

Histoires NaturellesPoet, novelist and journal writer, Jules Renard (1864-1910) is a major figure of late-nineteenth-century French literature, influencing other writers to this day, including Somerset Maugham and Julian Barnes. A delightful variation on the long tradition of bestiary writing, Jules Renard’s short verse and prose poems have captured the imagination of readers and artists since they were originally written in 1894, with Ravel famously setting five of them to music. Presented in a new version by acclaimed translator Richard Stokes and enriched by Lucinda Rogers’s beautiful ink drawings, this sumptuously produced volume will captivate and enchant new generations of readers the world over.


Fiction

The Sorrows of Young WertherJohann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a German polymath, whose works spanned the fields of literature, theology and science.Presented as a collection of confessional letters written by the eponymous protagonist, The Sorrows of Young Werther charts the emotional journey of a young man who, during a stay in a picturesque German village, falls in love with Lotte, a local woman engaged to another man. As he realizes that his passion is doomed to failure and constant pain, Werther contemplates taking the most drastic measures. Partly autobiographical, and the prototype for many later Romantic works in its depiction of the sensitive, tortured Romantic hero, Goethe’s seminal classic is a timeless masterpiece of world literature.


Fiction

Eugene OneginAlexander Pushkin (1799-1837) is now considered the father of modern Russian literature.When the Romantic and world-weary dandy Eugene Onegin moves from St Petersburg to take up residence in the country estate he has inherited, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his mild-mannered neighbour, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Coldly rejecting the amorous advances of Tatyana and cynically courting her sister Olga - Lensky’s fiancée - Onegin finds himself dragged into a tragedy of his own doing. Eugene Onegin was the founding text of modern Russian literature, marking a clean break from the high-flown classical style of its predecessors and introducing the quintessentially Russian hero and heroine.


Fiction

The Lost GirlD. H. Lawrence’s novels represent a milestone in twentieth-century literature.Alvina Houghton struggles to find excitement in her provincial surroundings and worries that she is condemned to become an old maid. After plans to elope with her lover to Australia and train as a nurse in London lead to nothing, she joins a travelling theatre group and succumbs to the charms of the dark, passionate Italian Ciccio. Although not enjoying today the same level of fame as Sons and Lovers or Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The Lost Girl was greatly successful in its time, winning the prestigious 1920 James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and remains a classic Lawrence novel of sensual awakening and the yearning for freedom.


Fiction

The Dictionary of Received IdeasGustave Flaubert is best known for his works Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education, and for his stylistic perfectionism and scrupulous commitment to “le mot juste”.A spoof encyclopedia of contemporary accepted wisdom and commonplaces, The Dictionary of Received Ideas sees Flaubert at his witty and satirical best. Perhaps intended as a companion to his final, unfinished novel Bouvard and Pécuchet, this compilation was the result of a lifetime of collecting the absurd and the clichéd with darkly humorous explanations. A playful look at nineteenth-century values and talking points, this dictionary will provide enduring entertainment and prove relevant even today.

Cultural Encounters in the Arab WorldOn Media, the Modern and the EverydayTarik Sabry, University of Westminster.In this groundbreaking book, Tarik Sabry is seeking out the terrain for best understanding the experience of being modern in transitional societies. He adopts a dynamic, ethnographically based approach to the meanings of ‘modernness’ in the Arab context and, within a relational framework, focuses on structures of thought, everydayness and self-referentiality to explore the process of building a bridge that rejoins the ‘modern’ in Arab thought with the ‘modern’ in Arab lived experience.

Kristeva ReframedA Guide for the Arts StudentEstelle Barrett, Deakin University, Melbourne.For Kristeva, art or aesthetic experience is a practice that constitutes both a subject (a sense of self) and an object that is able to transform meaning and consciousness.

Estelle Barrett demonstrates how Kristeva can illuminate the relationships between artist and art object, between artists, artworks and audiences, and between art and knowledge, as well as exploring what her work reveals about the role and function of art in society.

The Minaret of DjamAn Excursion in AfghanistanFreya Stark (1893-1993) was the doyenne of Middle East travel writers and one of the most courageous and adventurous female travellers in history. The 12th-century minaret of Djam is one of Afghanistan’s most celebrated treasures, a magnificent symbol of the powerful Ghorid Empire that once stretched from Iran to India. When Freya Stark travelled there, few people in the world had ever laid eyes on it or managed to reach the desolate valley in which it lies. A celebrated portrait of Afghanistan and its history, The Minaret of Djam is a poignant reminder that this was once far more than just a country ravaged by war and the political games of the world’s superpowers.

IdomeneoWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) began composing at the age of five. His subsequent prolific output secured him a reputation as one of the world’s foremost Classical composers. Mozart wrote Idomeneo when he was twenty-four years old, and the opera was described by Albert Einstein as “one of those works that even a genius like Mozart could write only once in his life”. In this guide, Julian Rushton explains the special nature of the music in a detailed analysis of its themes and development, while Nicholas Till places the opera in its context as an expression of the Enlightenment. Gary Kahn explores the performance history of an opera which, although largely ignored for over a hundred and fifty years, has now taken its place as part of the international operatic repertoire.

The Political NovelRe-Imagining the 20th CenturyStuart A. Scheingold, University of Washington, USA.Scholars from a variety of academic disciplines have been drawn into exhaustive analyses of what went wrong in “the terrible 20th Century”, as Winston Churchill dubbed it. In this book Scheingold adds political novels to those inquiries and argues that they make a distinctive and hitherto neglected contribution to the collective memory of the 20th Century. Novelists peer into the shattered lives, the moral dilemmas, and the emotional chaos of the century - thus viewing a collective catastrophe through the everyday lives of victims, victimizers, temporizers, opportunists, true believers, and those who simply averted their eyes.

Islam’s Quantum QuestionReconciling Muslim Tradition and Modern ScienceNidhal Guessoum, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.In Muslim countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia, a mere 15% of those recently surveyed believed Darwin’s theory to be ‘true’ or ‘probably true’. This passionately argued book contends to the contrary: not only that evolutionary theory does not contradict core Muslim beliefs, but that many scholars adopted a worldview that accepted evolution as a given. Guessoum suggests that the Islamic world, just like the Christian, needs to take scientific questions with the utmost seriousness if it is to recover its true heritage and integrity.

Ecology and SocialismCapitalism and the EnvironmentChris Williams, Pace University.Around the world, consciousness of the threat to our environment is growing. The majority of solutions on offer, from using efficient light bulbs to biking to work, focus on individual lifestyle changes, yet the scale of the crisis requires far deeper adjustments. Ecology and Socialism argues that time still remains to save humanity and the planet, but only by building social movements for environmental justice that can demand qualitative changes in our economy, workplaces, and infrastructure.



Grounding ReligionA Field Guide to the Study of Religion and EcologyWhitney Bauman, Florida International University; Richard R. Bohannon II, College of St. Benedict; and Kevin J.

Biofuels and the Globalisation of RiskJames Smith, University of EdinburghThis book offers the reader a fresh analysis of the politics and policies behind the biofuel story, examining the technological optimism and often-idealised promises it makes for the future. Starting with a brief history of bioenergy policy, the book goes on to explore the evolution of biofuels as a policy narrative, as a development ideal and as a socio-technical system. Smith argues that the nature of biofuels allows us to understand the relationships between and possible impacts of climate change, globalisation and development in entirely new ways and allows us to better understand the dynamics of risk, responsibility and impact that investment in biofuels creates.



Garlands, Conkers and Mother-DieBritish and Irish Plant-loreRoy Vickery worked as a botanist at the Natural History Museum, London for over 30 years.Plants have had symbolic as well as practical meanings and uses since the beginning of human civilisation.

Unlike other books which re-use material collected in the Victorian era, this book is based on new material collected by the author, and shows that while some of the wilder superstitions have faded we still cling to the symbolic importance of plants.
