David Crystal explores the factors that motivate so many different kinds of talk and reveals the rules we use unconsciously, even in the most routine exchanges of everyday conversation. We tend to think of conversation as something spontaneous, instinctive, habitual. It has been described as an art, as a game, sometimes even as a battle. Whichever metaphor we use, most people are unaware of what the rules are, how they work, and how we can bend and break them when circumstances warrant it. 9780198850694 0198850697 Pub Date: 7/23/2020 Contributor Bio $24.95 Discount Code: 02 David Crystal Hardcover 224 Pages David Crystal is known throughout the world as a writer, editor, lecturer, and Language Arts & Disciplines broadcaster on language.

2 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Quantum Reality The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories Jim Baggott Key Selling Points • Takes readers who want to go beyond the usual soundbites of quantum mechanics, and delves into details of the science, history, and philosophy of the subject • Aims to give a balanced assessment of many of the most popular interpretations of quantum mechanics, allowing readers to come to their own conclusions Includes a brief guide to quantum mechanics for the general reader • Explores the processes involved in developing scientific theories • Explains what makes quantum mechanics so challenging to interpret Summary Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're 9780198830153 prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we talk about 'reality' 0198830157 and a little more circumspect in the way we think a scientific theory might represent Pub Date: 9/1/2020 such a reality, then all the mystery goes away. This shows that the choice we face is $25.95 Discount Code: 02 actually a philosophical one. Hardcover

304 Pages Here, Jim Baggott provides a quick but comprehensive introduction to quantum 16 black and white images mechanics for the general reader, and explains what makes this theory so very Science / Physics different from the rest. He also explores the processes involved in developing SCI055000 scientific theories and explains how these lead to different philosophical positions, essential if we are to understand the nature of the great debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein. Moving forwards, Baggott then provides a comprehensive guide to attempts to determine what the theory actually means, from the Copenhagen interpretation to many worlds and the multiverse.

Richard Feynman once declared that 'nobody understands quantum mechanics'. This book will tell you why. Contributor Bio

4 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog A Bite of the Apple A Life with Books, Writers and Virago Lennie Goodings Key Selling Points • A behind-the-scenes glimpse of the history and workings of Virago Press • Explores the idea of idealistic publishing via Virago's journey from its early days of independence, through its various commercial incarnations • Casts light on Virago and the feminist movement, but also on any small and passionate publishing enterprise Summary 'The moment I got my job at Virago in 1978 I knew it would be a long time before I would leave. I certainly wouldn't have had the brazen hope then-only twenty-five and very recently new to Britain-that I would ever become the Publisher, but I did know that I had found my home: where books, ideas, politics, imagination, feminism, and business was the air we breathed . . .'

9780198828754 A Bite of the Apple is part-memoir, part history of Virago, and part thoughts on over 0198828756 forty years of feminist publishing. This is the story of how the authors and staff who, Pub Date: 6/9/2020 $21.95 driven by passion, conviction and excitement, have made Virago Press one of the Discount Code: 02 most important and influential English-language publishers in the world. Lennie Hardcover Goodings has been with the iconic press founded by Carmen Callil almost since the 304 Pages start. First a publicist and then for over twenty years, publisher and editor, she has Literary Criticism / European worked with extraordinary authors: Margaret Atwood, Marilynne Robinson, Sarah LIT004120 Waters, Linda Grant, Natasha Walter, Naomi Wolf and Maya Angelou among many others.

Virago has been a life-changer for Lennie Goodings - but certainly not only for her. Following the chronology of the press and the enormous breadth of the Virago titles published over these years, she sets her story in the context of feminism, and segues into thoughts on editing, post-feminism, reading, breaking boundaries, and the Virago Modern Classics. Virago lives within the tension between idealism and pragmatism; between sisterhood and celebrity; between watching feminism wax and wane at the same time as knowing so many of the battles are still to be won. This book is about how it felt to be there.

A Bite of the Apple is a celebration of writing, of publishing, and of reading. Contributor Bio

"All an apple should be: crisp, tart but sweet, steeped in mysterious history and tangled symbolism, and not a bad missile when it comes to alleyway combat. Oh, and 5 delicious!" -- Margaret Atwood, on Twitter "There is so very much to enjoy -and learn about- in this engaging book. We meet a young Lennie from Canada, in love with books, who lands a job at Virago and over the years survives and steers many of its changes to ensure its safety and vibrancy. Along the way, we track the changes in the publishing industry, in feminist thought and practice, and encounter the magnificence of Virago authors. A wonderful memoir and such a great read." -- Susie Orbach "An indispensable piece of feminist history; nothing less than the exciting story of how women found their voice - and made society listen. I enjoyed it hugely." -- Caroline Criado Perez "Lively, frank, fascinating - and above all, inspiring. A celebration of boldness: of wanting something better and making change happen." -- Sarah Waters "Behind every great book there is a great editor. And behind every feminist press, a remarkable set of women. Lennie Goodings is one of both." -- Sarah Dunant

6 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog America through Foreign Eyes Jorge G. Castañeda Key Selling Points • Provides a perspective from a foreign scholar who has lived, studied, worked and dealt with America for half a century, notably as a former Foreign Minister of Mexico • Argues that Americans should care what foreigners think about the United States now that globalization has made Americans care more than ever about what foreigners do • Proposes that, since Trump's election 2016, American politics resemble those of Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia more than at any earlier point in the nation's history • Gives due attention to issues of American's self-professed exceptionalism and the 9780190224493 American conformity so often observed by outsiders 0190224495 Pub Date: 7/1/2020 Summary $27.95 Do Americans care what foreigners think about the United States? This book makes Discount Code: 02 Hardcover the case that they should. In these pages, Jorge Castañeda writes from his unique vantage point as a former Foreign Minister of Mexico who has lived, studied, and 240 Pages Political Science worked in America. He offers an impressionistic, analytical, and intuitive review of his POL000000 experience in the country over the last half-century, and shows how foreigners can provide perspective on the United States' true nature. Castañeda brings a different viewpoint to issues ranging from purported American exceptionalism, uniformity, race and religion, culture, immigration, and the death penalty.

Visitors and analysts, from Dickens to Naipaul, have generally asked the right questions and described America's most salient features and mysteries. But, they have not always followed through with answers and explanations. Castañeda draws from his work with American civil society and government authorities to provide both insight and context. Americans have long seen their country as "exceptional," standing outside of history, but by comparing its contemporary politics and culture with those of other countries, Castañeda shows how increasing nationalism and nostalgia are actually making the US more like other countries.

Castañeda admits that most Americans have never cared much about what a foreigner thinks about their country, but the dynamic is shifting. The outside world means more to the US than ever before, and Americans should care about what foreigners think since they are now so sensitive to what foreigners do. Since Trump's election in 2016, American politics increasingly resemble those of Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia, such that pining for a lost and glorious past is as American as it is British, Mexican, Chinese, or Italian. Now, the questions that serious, knowledgeable, and sympathetic foreigners address to Americans may be the ones Americans ask--or should ask--for themselves. Contributor Bio

Jorge G. Castañeda was Foreign Minister of Mexico from 2000 to 2003. In 1997, he was appointed Global Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Latin American Studies at New York University.

Industrial zones stalked Business & Economics by zombie firms. / Economics BUS069000 And yet, against the odds and against expectations, growth continues, wealth rises, global influence expands. The coming collapse of China is always coming, never arriving.

Tom Orlik, a veteran of more than a decade in Beijing, turns the spotlight on China's fragile fundamentals, and resources for resilience. Drawing on discussions with Communist cadres, shadow bankers, and migrant workers, Orlik pieces together a unique perspective on China's past, present, and possible futures.

From Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening to Xi Jinping's anti-corruption crackdown, Orlik traces the policy steps and missteps that have taken China to the brink of a "Lehman moment" credit crisis. Delving into the minutiae of balance sheets for banks, corporates, and local governments, he plumbs the depths of financial risks. From Japan in 1989, to Korea in 1997, to the U.S. in 2007, he positions China in the context of a rolling series of global crisis.

Mapping out possible scenarios, Orlik games out what will happens if the bubble that never pops finally does. The magnitude of the shock to China and the world would be tremendous. For those in the West nervously watching China's rise, the alternative could be even less palatable. Contributor Bio

12 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog How the South Won the Civil War Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America Heather Cox Richardson Key Selling Points • A provocative book that is sure to stir debate in an election year • Provides critical insights into the essential paradox of American history--that democracy has always depended on inequality--and why that makes democracy vulnerable to oligarchs • Explores how Southern ideologies not only survived but flourished in the West following the Civil War • Challenges the myth of the John Wayne-esque cowboy presented in popular culture, inviting us to look more closely at the "Wild West" • Sure to stir debate in an election year Summary In this provocative new work, Heather Cox Richardson argues that while the North won the Civil War, ending slavery, oligarchy, and giving the country a "new birth of 9780190900908 freedom," the victory was short-lived. Settlers from the East pushed into the West, 0190900903 Pub Date: 4/1/2020 where the seizure of Mexican lands at the end of the Mexican-American War and $27.95 treatment of Native Americans cemented racial hierarchies. The Old South found a Discount Code: 02 new home in the West. Both depended on extractive industries--cotton in the former Hardcover and mining, cattle, and oil in the latter--giving rise to a white ruling elite, one that 256 Pages thrived despite the abolition of slavery, the assurances provided by the 13th, 14th, 12 b/w images and 15th Amendments, and the economic opportunities afforded by Western History HIS000000 expansion.

How the South Won the Civil War traces the story of the American paradox, the competing claims of equality and white domination that were woven into the nation's fabric from the beginning. Who was the archetypal "new American"? At the nation's founding it was Eastern "yeoman farmer," independent and freedom-loving, who had galvanized and symbolized the Revolution. After the Civil War the mantle was taken up by the cowboy, singlehandedly defending his land and his women against "savages," and protecting his country from its own government. As new states entered the Union in the late nineteenth century, western and southern leaders found common ground. Resources, including massive amounts of federal money, and migrants continued to stream into the West during the New Deal and World War II. "Movement Conservatives"--starting with Barry Goldwater--claimed to embody cowboy individualism, working with Dixiecrats to renew the ideology of the Confederacy. The "Southern strategy" worked. The essence of the Old South never died and the fight for equality endures. Contributor Bio

16 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Beyond Belief, Beyond Conscience The Radical Significance of the Free Exercise of Religion Jack Rakove Key Selling Points • Details exactly how developments in the colonies and the U.S. departed from comparable European movements toward toleration • Explains why American ideas of religious freedom are far more significant constitutionally than many modern commentators grasp • Discusses why certain controversies over the extent of religious freedom are bound to continue Summary Today, Americans believe that the early colonists came to the New World in search of religious liberty. What we often forget is that they wanted religious liberty for themselves, not for those who held other views that they rejected and detested. Yet, by the mid-18th century, the colonists agreed that everyone possessed a sovereign right of conscience. How did this change develop? In Beyond Belief, Beyond 9780195305814 Conscience, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jack Rakove tracks the unique course of 0195305817 religious freedom in America. Pub Date: 5/29/2020 $22.95 Discount Code: 02 He finds that, as denominations and sects multiplied, Americans became much more Hardcover tolerant of the free expression of rival religious beliefs. During the Revolutionary era, 224 Pages he explains, most of the new states moved to disestablish churches and to give 16 halftones constitutional recognition to rights of conscience. These two developments explain Law / Civil Law why religious freedom originally represented the most radical right of all. No other LAW011000 Series: Inalienable Rights right placed greater importance on the moral autonomy of individuals, or better illustrated how the authority of government could be limited by denying the state authority to act. Together, these developments made possible the great revival of religion in 19th-century America.

As Rakove explains, America's intense religiosity eventually created a new set of problems for mapping the relationship between church and state. He goes on to examine some of our contemporary controversies over church and state not from the vantage point of legal doctrine, but of the deeper history that gave the U.S. its own approach to religious freedom. In this book, he tells the story of how American ideas of religious toleration and free exercise evolved over time, and why questions of church and state still vex us. Contributor Bio

The second of Daniel Todman's two sweeping volumes on Great Britain and World War II, Britain's War: A New World, 1942-1947, begins with the event Winston Churchill called the "worst disaster" in British military history: the Fall of Singapore in February 1942 to the Japanese. As in the first volume of Todman's epic account of British 9780190658489 involvement in World War II ("Total history at its best," according to Jay Winter), he 0190658487 highlights the inter-connectedness of the British experience in this moment and Pub Date: 3/1/2020 $39.95 others, focusing on its inhabitants, its defenders, and its wartime leadership.

HIS027100 Britain's War: A New World, 1942-1947 is a triumph of narrative and research.

Praise for Britain's War: Into Battle, 1937-1941

"A decade ago, Daniel Todman made his mark with a decidedly revisionist book on World War I, The Great War: Myth and Memory. In his second major work of popular history, Britain's War: Into Battle, 1937-1941 he aims to modify our perceptions of the United Kingdom's role in World War II. In this, the first of two planned volumes, he succeeds triumphantly." -- Wall Street Journal "Britain's War is a sharply focused account of the transition of government and people from peacetime routines to the practices of total war. Hugely if overwhelmingly informative, the book brings us up to date with accuracy and precision across a multitude of fields." -- The Times Literary Supplement Marketing Plans • Pre-publication buzz mailing • Independent bookstore campaign • Social media and online promotion • Academic marketing and library promotion

20 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog God at War A Meditation on Religion and Warfare Mark Juergensmeyer Key Selling Points • Based on field research of militant religious activists around the world • Provides an understanding of war and religion from those who have embraced them Summary For decades, Mark Juergensmeyer has been studying the rise of religious violence around the world, including groups like ISIS and Christian militias that have been involved in acts of terrorism. Over the years he came to realize that war is the central image in the worldview of virtually every religious movement engaged in violent acts. Behind the moral justification of using violence are images of great confrontations of war on a transcendent scale.

God at War explores the dark attraction between religion and warfare. Virtually every religious tradition leaves behind it a bloody trail of stories, legends, and images of 9780190079178 war, and most wars call upon the divine for blessings in battle. This book finds the 0190079177 connection between religion and warfare in the alternative realities created in the Pub Date: 6/2/2020 $19.95 human imagination in response to crises both personal and social. Based on the Discount Code: 02 author's thirty years of field work interviewing activists involved in religious-related Hardcover terrorist movements around the world, this book explains why desperate social 120 Pages conflict leads to images of war, and why invariably God is thought to be engaged in Religion / Christianity battle.

22 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Hardhat Riot Nixon, New York City, and the Dawn of the White Working-Class Revolution David Paul Kuhn Key Selling Points • Tells the story of the hardhat riot, which no book has focused on before • Draws from nearly two dozen boxes of NYPD records that were sealed for almost a half-century, effectively buried by city officials until now • Combines archival findings with anecdotes from interviews with both living witnesses and politicians active at the time of the riot • Presents unique statistical work on polls from the era that will challenge conventional wisdom on public views of the Vietnam War and upheaval at home Summary In May 1970, four days after Kent State, construction workers chased students through downtown Manhattan, beating scores of protestors bloody. As hardhats clashed with hippies, it soon became clear that something larger was happening; Democrats were at war with themselves. In The Hardhat Riot, David Paul Kuhn tells 9780190064716 the fateful story-how chaotic it was, when it began, when the white working class first 0190064714 turned against liberalism, when Richard Nixon seized the breach, and America was Pub Date: 7/1/2020 $29.95 forever changed. It was unthinkable one generation before: FDR's "forgotten man" Discount Code: 02 siding with the party of Big Business and, ultimately, paving the way for presidencies Hardcover from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump. 320 Pages Political Science / International In the shadow of the half-built Twin Towers, on the same day the Knicks rallied Relations against the odds and won their first championship, we relive the schism that tore POL001000 liberalism apart. We experience the tumult of Nixon's America and John Lindsay's New York City, as festering division explodes into violence. Nixon's advisors realize that this tragic turn is their chance, that the Democratic coalition has collapsed and that "these, quite candidly, are our people now."

In this nail-biting story, Kuhn delivers on meticulous research and reporting, drawing from thousands of pages of never-before-seen records. We go back to a harrowing day that explains the politics of today. We experience the battle between two tribes fighting different wars, soon to become different Americas, ultimately reliving a liberal war that maimed both sides. We come to see how it all was laid bare one brutal day, when the Democratic Party's future was bludgeoned by its past, as if it was a last gasp to say that we once mattered too. Contributor Bio

24 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Watchdog How Protecting Consumers Can Save Our Families, Our Economy, and Our Democracy Richard Cordray, Elizabeth Warren Key Selling Points • Shares a never-before-published insider story of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from its inaugural director • Opens with a foreword from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was instrumental in the creation of the Bureau Puts financial industry corruption and reform in context by telling the stories of everyday Americans facing issues with credit cards, mortgages, car loans, and student loans • Explains political and policy fights over consumer protection in Congress, the Obama administration, and the Trump administration • Identifies and describes consumer problems and what can be done about them by our government and by consumers themselves Summary 9780197502990 Every day across America, consumers face issues with credit cards, mortgages, car 0197502997 loans, and student loans. When they are cheated or mistreated, all too often they hit Pub Date: 3/30/2020 $27.95 a brick wall against the financial companies. People are fed up with being run over by Discount Code: 02 big corporations, and few have the resources or expertise to fight back on their own. Hardcover

312 Pages It is no wonder consumers feel powerless: they are outgunned every step of the way. Political Science Since 1970, the financial industry has doubled in size. It is the biggest source of POL000000 campaign contributions to federal candidates and parties, spending about $1 billion annually on campaigns and another $500 million on lobbying. The four biggest banks each now has more than $1 trillion in assets. Financial products have become a mass of fine print that consumers can hardly even read, let alone understand.

Growing problems in the increasingly one-sided finance markets blew up the economy in 2008. In the aftermath, Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Sharing the stories of individual consumers, Watchdog shows how the Bureau quickly became a powerful force for good, suing big banks for cheating or deceiving consumers, putting limits on predatory lenders, simplifying mortgage paperwork, and stepping in to help solve problems raised by individual consumers. It tells a hopeful story of how our system can be reformed by putting government back on the side of the people, to strengthen our families, safeguard the marketplace, and establish a new baseline of fairness in our democratic society.

26 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Anti-System Politics The Crisis of Market Liberalism in Rich Democracies Jonathan Hopkin Key Selling Points • Offers a powerful, broad-ranging analysis of arguably the most important political phenomenon in the world at present • Argues that this phenomenon are the long-term fallout from decisions made in the 1970s and 1980s, in which mainstream parties of both the left and right ceded power and control to market forces • Suggests ways to address this turbulence and achieve a better functioning economy, society and democracy Summary Recent elections in the advanced western democracies have undermined the basic foundations of political systems that had previously beaten back all challenges -- from both the left and the right. The election of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, only months after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, signaled a 9780190699765 dramatic shift in the politics of the rich democracies. 0190699760 Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $27.95 In Anti-System Politics, Jonathan Hopkin traces the evolution of this shift and argues Discount Code: 02 that it is a long-term result of abandoning the post-war model of egalitarian Hardcover capitalism in the 1970s. That shift entailed weakening the democratic process in favor 328 Pages of an opaque, technocratic form of governance that allows voters little opportunity to Political Science influence policy. With the financial crisis of the late 2000s these arrangements POL000000 became unsustainable, as incumbent politicians were unable to provide solutions to economic hardship. Electorates demanded change, and it had to come from outside the system. Using a comparative approach, Hopkin explains why different kinds of anti-system politics emerge in different countries and how political and economic factors impact the degree of electoral instability that emerges. Finally, he discusses the implications of these changes, arguing that the only way for mainstream political forces to survive is for them to embrace a more activist role for government in protecting societies from economic turbulence.

A historically-grounded analysis of arguably the most important global political phenomenon at present, Anti-System Politics illuminates how and why the world seems upside down. Contributor Bio

32 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Straighten Up and Fly Right The Life and Music of Nat King Cole Will Friedwald Key Selling Points • An authoritative account of Nat King Cole's life and career • Features new, previously unpublished interviews with Cole's musical collaborators Summary One of the most popular and memorable American musicians of the 20th century, Nat King Cole (1919-65) is remembered today as both a pianist and a singer, a feat rarely accomplished in the world of popular music. Now, in this complete life and times biography, author Will Friedwald offers a new take on this fascinating musician, framing him first as a bandleader and then as a star. In Cole's early phase, Friedwald explains, his primary task of keeping his trio going was just as much of a focus for him as his own playing and singing, always a collective or group performance. In the second act, Cole's collaborators were more likely to be arranger-conductors like Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins, rather than his sidemen on bass and guitar. In the 9780190882044 first act, his sidemen were equals, in the second phase, his collaborators were tasked 0190882042 exclusively with putting the focus on him, making him sound good, while being largely Pub Date: 5/1/2020 $34.95 invisible themselves. Discount Code: 02 Hardcover Friedwald brings his full musical knowledge to bear in putting the man in the work, 560 Pages demonstrating how this duality appears over and over again in Cole's life and career: 20 photos jazz vs. pop, solo vs. trio, piano vs. voice, wife number one (Nadine) vs. wife number Music / Genres & Styles two (Maria), the good songs vs. the less-than-good songs, the rhythm numbers vs. MUS025000 Series: Cultural Biographies the ballads, the funny songs and novelties vs. the "serious" songs of love and loss, Cole as an advocate for the Great American Songbook vs. Cole the intrepid explorer of other options: world music, rhythm & blues, country & western. Cole was different from his contemporaries in other ways; for roughly ten years after the war, the majority of hitmakers on the pop charts were veterans of the big band experience, from Sinatra on down.

34 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Life and Death of Ancient Cities A Natural History Greg Woolf Key Selling Points • Wide-ranging, general-audience book on the ancient city is the first of its kind • A vivid guide with over 75 illustrations and maps Provides a rich narrative history of the ancient Mediterranean city • This wide-ranging book on the ancient city is the first of its kind Summary The growth of the modern world urban system is the greatest episode of urban growth there has ever been, but it is not the first. Three thousand years ago most of the Mediterranean basin was a world of villages; a world without money or writing, without temples for the gods or palaces for the mighty. Over the centuries that followed, however, an extraordinary series of civilizations grew up around the Inland Sea. They included those of the Greeks and Romans, but also others created by Etruscans and Phoenicians, by Tartessians and Lycians, and eventually by many 9780199946129 others. At the heart of all these cultures was the city. Most ancient cities were tiny by 0199946124 modern standards, but they were the building blocks of all the states and empires of Pub Date: 5/1/2020 $34.95 classical antiquity, the places where new literatures and art forms were created, the Discount Code: 02 motors of history and the most fiercely contested prizes of warfare. The greatest Hardcover cities--Athens and Corinth, Syracuse and Marseilles, Alexandria and Ephesus, Antioch 512 Pages and Carthage, Rome and Byzantium--became the powerhouses of successive ancient 60 b/w halftones; 15 b/w line societies. And then, for reasons that remain mysterious, the cities withered away, drawings leaving behind evocative ruins that have fascinated and inspired so many who came History / Ancient HIS002010 after.

The Life and Death of Ancient Cities tells the story of the rise and collapse of Europe's first great urban experiment. Drawing on the latest historical and archaeological evidence, Greg Woolf provides a rich narrative history of the ancient Mediterranean city, and attempts to solve the puzzles about its rapid emergence and equally rapid decline, making comparisons along the way with contemporary urban experience. Containing dozens of illustrations, with sidebar commentaries on specific urban themes, this book will appeal to all students and general readers of ancient history. Contributor Bio

36 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Scourge of War The Life of William Tecumseh Sherman Brian Holden Reid Key Selling Points • Author is eminent military historian of the Civil War • A definitive life and times biography of a key Union general • Detailed analysis of William Tecumseh Sherman's Civil War strategy Summary William Tecumseh Sherman, a West Point graduate and veteran of the Seminole War, became one of the best-known generals in the Civil War. His March to the Sea, which resulted in a devastated swath of the South from Atlanta to Savannah, cemented his place in history as the pioneer of total war.

In The Scourge of War, preeminent military historian Brian Holden Reid offers a deeply researched life and times account of Sherman. By examining his childhood and education, his business ventures in California, his antebellum leadership of a military 9780195392739 college in Louisiana, and numerous career false starts, Holden Reid shows how 0195392736 unlikely his exceptional Civil War career would seem. He also demonstrates how Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $34.95 crucial his family was to his professional path, particularly his wife's intervention Discount Code: 02 during the war. He analyzes Sherman's development as a battlefield commander and Hardcover especially his crucial friendships with Henry W. Halleck and Ulysses S. Grant. In doing 608 Pages so, he details how Sherman overcame both his weaknesses as a leader and severe 20 illustrations depression to mature as a military strategist. Central chapters narrate closely History Sherman's battlefield career and the gradual lifting of his pessimism that the Union HIS000000 would be defeated. After the war, Sherman became a popular figure in the North and the founder of the school for officers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, known as the "intellectual center of the army." Holden Reid argues that Sherman was not hostile to the South throughout his life and only in later years gained a reputation as a villain who practiced barbaric destruction, particularly as the neo-Confederate Lost Cause grew and he published one of the first personal accounts of the war.

A definitive biography of a preeminent military figure by a renowned military historian, The Scourge of War is a masterful account of Sherman' life that fully recognizes his intellect, strategy, and actions during the Civil War. Contributor Bio

38 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Unconditional The Japanese Surrender in World War II Marc Gallicchio Key Selling Points • A dramatic and compelling narrative of this crucial moment in American and world history • Examines the ideological implications of "unconditional" surrender in American foreign policy • Timed for the 75th anniversary of the surrender Summary A new look at the drama that lay behind the end of the war in the Pacific

Signed on September 2, 1945 aboard the American battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay by Japanese and Allied leaders, the instrument of surrender that formally ended the war in the Pacific brought to a close one of the most cataclysmic engagements in history. Behind it lay a debate that had been raging for some weeks prior among 9780190091101 American military and political leaders. The surrender fulfilled the commitment that 019009110X Franklin Roosevelt had made in 1943 at the Casablanca conference that it be Pub Date: 8/1/2020 $29.95 "unconditional." Though readily accepted as policy at the time, after Roosevelt's death Discount Code: 02 in April 1945 support for unconditional surrender wavered, particularly among Hardcover Republicans in Congress, when the bloody campaigns on Iwo Jima and Okinawa made 320 Pages clear the cost of military victory against Japan. Germany's unconditional surrender in 15 b/w images, 5 maps May 1945 had been one thing; the war in the pacific was another. Many conservatives History / Military favored a negotiated surrender. HIS027100 Series: Pivotal Moments in American History Though this was the last time American forces would impose surrender unconditionally, questions surrounding it continued through the 1950s and 1960s--with the Korean and Vietnam Wars--when liberal and conservative views reversed, including over the definition of "peace with honor." The subject was revived during the ceremonies surrounding the 50th anniversary in 1995, and the Gulf and Iraq Wars, when the subjects of exit strategies and "accomplished missions" were debated. Marc Gallicchio reveals how and why the surrender in Tokyo Bay unfolded as it did and the principle figures behind it, including George C. Marshall and Douglas MacArthur. The latter would effectively become the leader of Japan and his tenure, and indeed the very nature of the American occupation, was shaped by the nature of the surrender. Most importantly, Gallicchio reveals how the policy of unconditional surrender has shaped our memory and our understanding of World War II. Contributor Bio

Introduction: A Great Victory Has Been Won Chapter I: "Our Demand has been and it remains-Unconditional Surrender!" Chapter II: "Popular opinion can offer no useful contribution."

39 Chapter III. "[Admiral Leahy] said that his matter had been considered on a political level and consideration had been given to the removal of the sentence in question." Chapter IV: "I deem this reply a full acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration which specifies the unconditional surrender of Japan." Chapter V: "[T]he surrender today is no negotiated surrender. The Japanese are submitting to superior force now massed here." Chapter VI: "We demanded unconditional surrender, then dropped the bomb and accepted conditional surrender..." Chapter VII: "The curators simply will not let go of the notion that the policy of demanding Japan's unconditional surrender was (a) unreasonable, (b) prolonged the war needlessly, and foiled Japan's earnest desire to make peace." Conclusion: "Much of the success of the occupation derived from the fact that Japan surrendered unconditionally, thereby ceding absolute and nonnegotiable authority to the victors."

40 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Human Factor Gorbachev, Reagan, and Thatcher, and the End of the Cold War Archie Brown Key Selling Points • Brown is a leading authority on Gorbachev and was the first person to draw Margaret Thatcher's attention to him as a reform-minded likely future Soviet leader • First book to focus specifically on the relationships between Gorbachev, Reagan, and Thatcher, the three major figures of this period • Challenges the commonly held belief that the Cold War ended due to American military superiority Summary In this penetrating analysis of the role of political leadership in the Cold War's ending, Archie Brown shows why the popular view that Western economic and military strength left the Soviet Union with no alternative but to admit defeat is wrong. To understand the significance of the parts played by Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in East-West relations in the second half of the 1980s, Brown 9780190614898 addresses several specific questions: What were the values and assumptions of these 0190614897 leaders, and how did their perceptions evolve? What were the major influences on Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $29.95 them? To what extent were they reflecting the views of their own political Discount Code: 02 establishment or challenging them? How important for ending the East-West standoff Hardcover were their interrelations? Would any of the realistically alternative leaders of their 448 Pages countries at that time have pursued approximately the same policies? 16 pp insert History / Modern The Cold War got colder in the early 1980s and the relationship between the two HIS037070 military superpowers, the USA and the Soviet Union, each of whom had the capacity to annihilate the other, was tense. By the end of the decade, East-West relations had been utterly transformed, with most of the dividing lines - including the division of Europe - removed. Engagement between Gorbachev and Reagan was a crucial part of that process of change. More surprising was Thatcher's role. Regarded by Reagan as his ideological and political soulmate, she formed also a strong and supportive relationship with Gorbachev (beginning three months before he came to power). Promoting Gorbachev in Washington as 'a man to do business with', she became, in the words of her foreign policy adviser Sir Percy Cradock, 'an agent of influence in both directions'.

42 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog We're Not Here to Entertain Punk Rock, Ronald Reagan, and the Real Culture War of 1980s America Kevin Mattson Key Selling Points • Presents a history of punk based on archival research rather than oral history • Uncovers the connection between 1980s punk and Reaganism • Proves how widespread punk was by looking beyond New York City and Los Angeles • Argues for the intelligence of punk, presenting an intellectual history of punk ideas 9780190908232 and expression 0190908238 Pub Date: 8/3/2020 • Moves beyond the standard "band history" to examine punk art, poetry, sci-fi $27.95 literature, and movies as well Discount Code: 02 • Provides an entertaining but critical analysis of protest politics and songs and other Hardcover modes of expression 352 Pages Music Summary MUS000000 Many remember the 1980s as the era of Ronald Reagan, a conservative decade populated by preppies and yuppies dancing to a soundtrack of electronic synth pop music. In some ways, it was the "MTV generation." However, the decade also produced some of the most creative works of punk culture, from the music of bands like the Minutemen and the Dead Kennedys to avant-garde visual arts, literature, poetry, and film. In We're Not Here to Entertain, Kevin Mattson documents what Kurt Cobain once called a "punk rock world" --the all-encompassing hardcore-indie culture that incubated his own talent. Mattson shows just how widespread the movement became--ranging across the nation, from D.C. through Ohio and Minnesota to LA--and how democratic it was due to its commitment to Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tactics.

Throughout, Mattson puts the movement into a wider context, locating it in a culture war that pitted a blossoming punk scene against the new president. Reagan's talk about end days and nuclear warfare generated panic; his tax cuts for the rich and simultaneous slashing of school lunch program funding made punks, who saw themselves as underdogs, seethe at his meanness. The anger went deep, since punks saw Reagan as the country's entertainer-in-chief; his career, from radio to Hollywood and television, synched to the very world punks rejected. Through deep archival research, Mattson reignites the heated debates that punk's opposition generated in that era-about everything from "straight edge" ethics to anarchism to the art of dissent. By reconstructing the world of punk, Mattson demonstrates that it was more than just a style of purple hair and torn jeans. In so doing, he reminds readers of punk's importance and its challenge to simplistic assumptions about the 1980s as a one-dimensional, conservative epoch. Contributor Bio

Kevin Mattson grew up in the suburban sprawl known as the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. It was here that he first experienced the "punk rock world" that fuelled his formative years. He played in bands, wrote for zines, and became politically active, helping to cofound the organization Positive Force. He now teaches American history at Ohio University and is the author of numerous books that explore the intersection between culture and politics, including Upton Sinclair and the Other American Century and What the Heck Are You Up To, Mr. President?

44 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Drone Age How Drone Technology Will Change War and Peace Michael J. Boyle Key Selling Points • Features 16 never-before-published interviews, including with drone pilots and leaders in the drone field • Covers a wide range of topics, including peacekeeping, humanitarian use, human rights advocacy, surveillance • Serves as the first lengthy treatment of how terrorist organizations use drones Summary Over the last decade, the rapid pace of innovation with drone technology has led to dozens of new and innovative commercial and scientific applications, from Amazon drone deliveries to the patrolling of national parks with drones. But what is less understood is how the spread of unmanned technology will change the patterns of war and peace in the future. Will the use of drones produce a more stable world or will it lead to more conflict? Will drones gradually replace humans on the battlefield or 9780190635862 will they empower soldiers to act more precisely, and humanely, in crisis situations? 019063586X How will drones change surveillance around the world and at home? Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $29.95 Discount Code: 02 The Drone Age traces the rise of unmanned technology and how it is reshaping our Hardcover world. The spread of drones is reordering geopolitical fault lines and providing new 384 Pages ways for states to test the nerves and strategic commitments of their rivals. Drones Political Science / Public Policy are also allowing terrorist groups like the Islamic State to take to the skies and to POL063000 level the playing field against their enemies. Across the world, the low financial cost of drones and the reduced risks faced by pilots is making drone technology an essential tool for militaries, peacekeeping forces and even private companies. From large surveillance drones to insect-like micro-drones, unmanned technology is revolutionizing the way that states and non-state actors compete with each other and is providing game-changing benefits to those who can most rapidly adapt unmanned technology to their own purposes. Yet peacekeeping and humanitarian organizations are also utilizing drones too.

An essential guide to a surprisingly complex disruptive force in world politics, The Drone Age shows how the mastery of drone technology will become central to the ways that governments and non-state actors seek power and influence in the coming decades. Contributor Bio

46 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog A Long, Long Way Hollywood's Unfinished Journey from Racism to Reconciliation Greg Garrett Key Selling Points • Approaches the history of racism on screen as an opportunity for racial reconciliation • Written by a leading scholar of religion and culture • Considers the role that cinematic narrative and religious tradition can play in healing racial dynamics Summary From the beginning, American cinema has been both a powerful mythmaker and a social critic. D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation, arguably the first feature film, shows us just how early in its history cinema had established its influence. In 1915 it was the first movie to be screened at the White House. After the screening, President Woodrow Wilson is rumored to have said, "It's like history writ with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all terribly true." Birth of a Nation famously portrayed the Klu 9780190906252 Klux Klan in a favorable light, a portrayal that contributed to the modern resurgence 0190906251 Pub Date: 6/1/2020 of the group and brought racist depictions of African Americans imported from the $24.95 minstrel show to the silver screen. Such white fantasies of black American life have Discount Code: 02 played out on our movie screens for the last century. In response, filmmakers of color Hardcover have created nuanced and indelible portraits of race, as in Ava DuVernay's Selma or 248 Pages Barry Jenkin's Moonlight. Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman shows us just how far into our 10 culture Birth of a Nation has reached. Performing Arts / Film & Video PER004000 In this powerful new book, Greg Garrett brings his signature brand of theologically motivated cultural criticism to bear on this history. After more than a century of cinema, he argues, movies have altered our cultural perspectives in the same way that religious narratives have. And in fact, religious traditions offer powerful correctives to our cultural narratives. A Long, Long Way incorporates both cinematic and religious truth-telling to the subject of race and reconciliation. In acknowledging the racist history of America's national art form, Garrett offers the possibility of hope for the future. Contributor Bio

Covering the broad sweep of American history, 232 Pages he puts insults in their place-the political and cultural context of their times. Along the 11 illustrations Language Arts & Disciplines way, Battistella illustrates the recurring themes of political insults: too little intellect or / Linguistics too much, inconsistency or obstinacy, worthlessness, weakness, dishonesty, sexual LAN009050 impropriety, appearance, and more. The kinds of insults we use suggest what our culture finds most hurtful, and reveal society's changing prejudices as well as its most enduring ones. How we insult presidents and how they react tells us about the presidents, but it also tells us about our nation's politics.

Readers discover how the style of insults evolves in different historical periods: gone are "apostate," "mountebank," "flathead," and "doughface." Say hello to "moron," "jerk," "asshole," and "flip-flopper." Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels covers the broad sweep of American history, from the founder's debates over the nature of government to world wars and culture wars and social media.

Whatever your politics, you'll find Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels an invaluable source of invigorating invective-and a healthy perspective on today's political climate. Contributor Bio

54 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Hitler's True Believers How Ordinary People Became Nazis Robert Gellately Key Selling Points • Rather than dismissing socialism as a disingenuous label Hitler had supposedly chosen for tactical gain, the book argues that we must take the nationalism and socialism seriously • Based on a wealth of archival documents, primary materials, and secondary sources, the book is formidable in its scope and mastery of the material • Poses daring new questions on how Germans reacted to Nazi ideology and what the regime had to offer them Summary Understanding Adolf Hitler's doctrine and the appeals of Nazism provides insights into the mental world of an extremist politics that, over the course of the Third Reich, developed explosive energies culminating in the Second World War and the Holocaust. Too often the theories underlying National Socialism or Nazism are dismissed as an 9780190689902 irrational hodge-podge of ideas. Yet that ideology drove Hitler's quest for power in 0190689900 1933, colored everything in the Third Reich, and transformed him, however briefly, Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $34.95 into the most powerful leader in the world. Discount Code: 02 Hardcover How did he discover that ideology? How was it that cohorts of leaders, followers, and 448 Pages ordinary citizens adopted aspects of National Socialism without experiencing the History / Europe "leader" first-hand or reading his works? They shared a collective desire to create a HIS010000 harmonious, racially select, "community of the people" to build on Germany's socialist-oriented political culture and to seek national renewal. If we wish to understand the rise of the Nazi Party and the new dictatorship's remarkable staying power, we have to take the nationalist, socialist, and antisemitic aspects of this ideology seriously.

Hitler became a kind of representative figure for ideas, emotions, and aims that he shared with thousands, and eventually millions, of true believers who were of like mind. They projected onto him the properties of the "necessary leader," a commanding figure at the head of a uniformed corps that would rally the masses and storm the barricades. It remains remarkable that millions of people in a well-educated and cultured nation eventually came to accept or accommodate themselves to the tenants of an extremist ideology laced with hatred and laden with such obvious murderous implications.

56 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Inca Apocalypse The Spanish Conquest and the Transformation of the Andean World R. Alan Covey Key Selling Points • Uses current archaeological and historical scholarship on the Incas and early imperial Spain to place the conquest in a global context • A heavily researched text, written for a modern audience In depth exploration of how the Inca and Spanish states rose, expanded, and came into contact Summary Inca Apocalypse develops a new perspective on the European invasions of the Inca realm, and the way that the Spanish transformation of the Andes relates to broader changes occurring in the transition from medieval to early modern Europe. The book is structured to foreground some of the parallels in the imperial origins of the Incas and Spain, as well as some of the global processes affecting both societies during the first century of their interaction. The Spanish conquest of the Inca empire was more than a decisive victory at Cajamarca in 1532-it was an uneven process that failed to 9780190299125 bring to pass the millenarian vision that set it in motion, yet it succeeded profoundly 0190299126 in some respects.

Hardcover

New archaeological and archival research makes it possible to frame a familiar story from a larger historical and geographical scale than has typically been considered.

58 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Leading with Feeling Nine Strategies of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership Cary Cherniss, Cornelia Roche Key Selling Points • Presents nine specific strategies that outstanding leaders have used -- and that any leader can emulate • Features inspiring examples of how leaders have met challenging goals and overcome obstacles using emotionally intelligent strategies • Contains interactive activities designed to enhance learning • Based on an in-depth 3-year study of some of the most outstanding leaders across industries, as nominated by executive coaches and management consultants Summary For many decades, the conventional wisdom was that emotion has no place in the work world, and the ideal leader is one who approaches problems rationally and unemotionally. However, the reality is that emotion is inevitable when a group of people come together for an extended period of time to work on challenging tasks, and if used effectively, a leader's moods and emotions can be a plus rather than a 9780190698942 minus. 0190698942 Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $29.95 This book describes how 25 outstanding leaders used emotional intelligence to deal Discount Code: 02 with critical challenges and opportunities.

60 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Beethoven: Variations on a Life Mark Evan Bonds Key Selling Points • Proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven that takes us beyond the iconic scowl and more nearly reflects the way in which the composer's contemporaries heard his music • Approaches Beethoven's music as a series of variations on his life as manifested through his ideals and his attitudes toward deafness, friendship, love, religion, money, and politics • Draws heavily on Beethoven's writings-his letters, his diary-and lets the composer's personality emerge through his own words Summary Despite the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career-even in the face of deafness-Beethoven remained remarkably consistent in his most basic convictions about his art. This inner consistency, the music historian Mark Evan Bonds argues, provides the key to understanding the composer's life and works. Beethoven 9780190054083 approached music as he approached life, weighing whatever occupied him from a 0190054085 Pub Date: 8/3/2020 variety of perspectives: a melodic idea, a musical genre, a word or phrase, a friend, a $18.95 lover, a patron, money, politics, religion. His ability to unlock so many possibilities Discount Code: 02 from each helps explain the emotional breadth and richness of his output as a whole, Hardcover from the heaven-storming Ninth Symphony to the eccentric Eighth, and from the 160 Pages arcane Great Fugue to the crowd-pleasing Wellington's Victory. Beethoven's works, 10 Bonds argues, are a series of variations on his life. The iconic scowl so familiar from Music MUS000000 later images of the composer is but one of many attitudes he could assume and project through his music. The supposedly characteristic furrowed brow and frown, moreover, came only after his time. Discarding tired myths about the composer, Bonds proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven by hearing his music as an expression of his entire self, not just his scowling self. Contributor Bio

62 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Disaster by Choice How our actions turn natural hazards into catastrophes Ilan Kelman Key Selling Points • Offers an uncomfortable truth, that the majority of 'natural disasters' are created or exacerbated by human choices • Explores how we can and should act to stop people dying when nature unleashes its powers by asking what can be done to prevent or avoid disasters • Considers the social, political, and economic factors involved in our decision making around natural hazards • Encourages readers not to accept the complacent narrative of human helplessness in the face of the power of inevitable natural occurrences • Describes inspiring examples of effective human action that limits damage, such as managing flooding in Toronto and villages in Bangladesh, and wildfire in Colorado Summary An earthquake shatters Haiti and a hurricane slices through Texas. We hear that nature runs rampant, seeking to destroy us through these 'natural disasters'. Science 9780198841340 recounts a different story, however: disasters are not the consequence of natural 0198841345 causes; they are the consequence of human choices and decisions. we put ourselves Pub Date: 4/27/2020 $21.95 in harm's way; we fail to take measures which we know would prevent disasters, no Discount Code: 02 matter what the environment does. Hardcover

192 Pages This can be both hard to accept, and hard to unravel. A complex of factors shape Science / Environmental Science disasters. They arise from the political processes dictating where and what we build, SCI026000 and from social circumstances which create and perpetuate poverty and discrimination. They develop from the social preference to blame nature for the damage wrought, when in fact events such as earthquakes and storms are entirely commonplace environmental processes We feel the need to fight natural forces, to reclaim what we assume is ours, and to protect ourselves from what we perceive to be wrath from outside our communities. This attitude distracts us from the real causes of disasters: humanity's decisions, as societies and as individuals. It stops us accepting the real solutions to disasters: making better decisions.

This book explores stories of some of our worst disasters to show how we can and should act to stop people dying when nature unleashes its energies. The disaster is not the tornado, the volcanic eruption, or climate change, but the deaths and injuries, the loss of irreplaceable property, and the lack and even denial of support to affected people, so that a short-term interruption becomes a long-term recovery nightmare. But we can combat this, as Kelman shows, describing inspiring examples of effective human action that limits damage, such as managing flooding in Toronto and villages in Bangladesh, or wildfire in Colorado.

Throughout, his message is clear: there is no such thing as a natural disaster. The disaster lies in our inability to deal with the environment and with ourselves. Contributor Bio

66 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Dragons and the Snakes How the Rest Learned to Fight the West David Kilcullen Key Selling Points • Includes a detailed theory of military evolution applying Darwinian natural selection, artificial selection, social learning and institutional adaptation • The first work to put forward a unified theory of how both state and non-state threats overlap and intersect in the modern threat environment • Advances detailed proposals on how to get ahead of the adaptation curve and build a viable national security approach in the future Summary Just a few years ago, people spoke of the US as a hyperpower-a titan stalking the world stage with more relative power than any empire in history. Yet as early as 1993, newly-appointed CIA director James Woolsey pointed out that although Western powers had "slain a large dragon" by defeating the Soviet Union in the Cold War, they now faced a "bewildering variety of poisonous snakes." 9780190265687 019026568X In The Dragons and the Snakes, the eminent soldier-scholar David Kilcullen asks how, Pub Date: 3/3/2020 $27.95 and what, opponents of the West have learned during the last quarter-century of Discount Code: 02 conflict. Applying a combination of evolutionary theory and detailed field observation, Hardcover he explains what happened to the "snakes"-non-state threats including terrorists and 320 Pages guerrillas-and the "dragons"-state-based competitors such as Russia and China. He 15 illustrations explores how enemies learn under conditions of conflict, and examines how Western Political Science / International dominance over a very particular, narrowly-defined form of warfare since the Cold War Relations POL011000 has created a fitness landscape that forces adversaries to adapt in ways that present serious new challenges to America and its allies. Within the world's contemporary conflict zones, Kilcullen argues, state and non-state threats have increasingly come to resemble each other, with states adopting non-state techniques and non-state actors now able to access levels of precision and lethal weapon systems once only available to governments.

A counterintuitive look at this new, vastly more complex environment, The Dragons and the Snakes will not only reshape our understanding of the West's enemies' capabilities, but will also show how we can respond given the increasing limits on US power. Contributor Bio

68 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Education of John Adams R. B. Bernstein Summary The Education of John Adams is a concise biography of John Adams (1735-1826), the first by a biographer with legal training. It examines his origins in colonial Massachusetts, his education, and his struggle to choose a career and define a place for himself in colonial society. It explores his flourishing legal career and the impact that law had on him and his perception of himself; his growing involvement with the emerging American Revolution as polemicist, as lawyer, as congressional delegate, and as diplomat; and his role in defining and expounding ideas about constitutionalism and how it should work as the governing ideology of the new United States. The book traces his part in launching the new government of the United States under the U.S. Constitution; his service as the nation's first vice president and second president; and his retirement years, during which he passed from being a vexed and rejected ex-president to the Sage of Braintree. It describes the relationships that sustained him--with his wife, the brilliant and eloquent Abigail Adams; with his children; with such allies and supporters as Benjamin Rush and John 9780199740239 Marshall; such sometime friends and sometime adversaries as Benjamin Franklin, 0199740232 George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson; and with such foes as Alexander Hamilton Pub Date: 6/1/2020 and Timothy Pickering. It establishes Adams as a key but neglected figure in the $24.95 Discount Code: 02 evolution of American constitutional theory and practice. It also is the first biography Hardcover to examine Adams's conflicted and hesitant ideas about slavery and race in the

344 Pages American context, raising serious questions about his mythic status as a friend of Political Science / History & human equality and a foe of slavery. The focus of this book is the record left by Theory Adams himself - in diaries, letters, essays, pamphlets, and books. The Education of POL010000 John Adams concludes by re-examining the often-debated question of the relevance of Adams's thought to our own time. Contributor Bio

70 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Spartans Andrew J. Bayliss Key Selling Points • Lifts the veil on the fascinating and sometimes appalling practices of the most infamous ancient Greek society • Tells the true story of Thermopylae, drawing on the latest research • Focuses on key aspects of Spartan society, such as boyhood, the Helots, and Spartan women • Separates the myth surrounding the Spartans from the reality Summary The image of Sparta, and the Spartans, is one dyed indelibly into the public consciousness: musclebound soldiers with long hair and red cloaks, bearing shiny bronze shields emblazoned with the Greek letter lambda. 'This is Sparta!', bellows Leonidas on the silver screen, as he decides to lead his 300 warriors to their deaths at Thermopylae. 9780198853084 0198853084 But what was Sparta? Pub Date: 8/1/2020 $13.95 Discount Code: 02 The myths surrounding Sparta are as old as the city itself. Even in antiquity, Sparta Hardcover was a unique society, considered an enigma. The Spartans who fought for freedom 184 Pages against the Persians called themselves 'equals' or peers, but their equality was reliant 13 black and white images on the ruthless exploitation of the indigenous population known as helots. The History / Military HIS027220 Spartans' often bizarre rules and practices have the capacity to horrify as much they do to fascinate us today. Athenian writers were intrigued and appalled in equal measure by a society where weak or disabled babies were said to have been examined carefully by state officials before being dumped off the edge of a cliff. Even today their lurid stories have shaped our image of Sparta; a society in which cowards were forced to shave off half their beards, to dress differently from their peers, and who were ultimately shunned to the extent that suicide seemed preferable. Equally appalling to us today is the brutal krypteia, a Spartan rite of passage where teenagers were sent into the countryside armed with a knife and ordered to eliminate the biggest and most dangerous helots. But the truth behind these stories of the exotic other can be hard to discover, lost amongst the legend of Sparta which was even perpetuated by later Spartans, who ran a thriving tourist industry that exaggerated the famed brutality of their ancestors.

As Andrew Bayliss explores in this book, there was also much to admire in ancient Sparta, such as the Spartans' state-run education system which catered even to girls, or the fact that Sparta was almost unparalleled in the pre-modern world in allowing women a clear voice, with no fewer than forty sayings by Spartan women preserved in our sources. This book reveals the best and the worst of the Spartans, separating myth from reality. Contributor Bio

74 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Lockhart Plot Love, Betrayal, Assassination and Counter-Revolution in Lenin's Russia Jonathan Schneer Key Selling Points • Rivetingly written and deeply researched work, but also a true historical thriller, a romance and a spy story • Includes never published before interviews, which in turn presents a significant new interpretation of the subject • The only full-length book on the Lockhart Plot, opening up this fascinating story to the world Summary During the spring and summer of 1918, with World War I still undecided, British, French and American agents in Russia developed a breathtakingly audacious plan. Led by Robert Hamilton Bruce Lockhart, a dashing, cynical, urbane 30-year-old Scot, they 9780198852988 conspired to overthrow Lenin's newly established Bolshevik regime, and to install one 0198852983 that would continue the war against Germany on the Eastern Front. Lockhart's Pub Date: 9/1/2020 confidante and chief support, with whom he engaged in a passionate love affair, was $32.95 Discount Code: 02 the mysterious, alluring Moura von Benkendorff, wife of a former aide-de-camp to the Hardcover Tsar.

352 Pages 26 Black and white illustrations The plotters' chief opponent was 'Iron Felix' Dzerzhinsky. He led the Cheka, 'Sword and maps and Shield' of the Russian Revolution and forerunner of the KGB. Dzerzhinsky loved History / Military humanity - in the abstract. He believed socialism represented humanity's best hope. HIS027090 To preserve and protect it he would unleash unbounded terror.

Revolutionary Russia provided the setting for the ensuing contest. In the back streets of Petrograd and Moscow, in rough gypsy cabarets, in glittering nightclubs, in cells beneath the Cheka's Lubianka prison, the protagonists engaged in a deadly game of wits for the highest possible stakes - not merely life and death, but the outcome of a world war and the nature of Russia's post-war regime.

Confident of success, the conspirators set the date for an uprising, September 8, 1918, but the Cheka had penetrated their organization and pounced just beforehand. The Lockhart Plot was a turning point in world history, except it failed to turn. At a time when Russian meddling in British and American politics now sounds warning bells, however, may sense its reverberations and realize that it is still relevant. Contributor Bio

76 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Innovation Complex Cities, Tech, and the New Economy Sharon Zukin Key Selling Points • Explains how New York has become a supercity of the tech economy • Presents a critical first look at urban economic transformation in the digital age • Shows how the startup economy, tech ecosystem, and politics of innovation really work • Connects actions of government, business, and universities to expose the powerful underside of the new urban economy • Combines original interviews with venture capitalists, startup founders, and economic development managers to explore the world of hackathons, meetups, accelerators, and innovation districts Summary You hear a lot these days about "innovation and entrepreneurship" and about how "good jobs" in tech will save our cities. Yet these common tropes hide a stunning 9780190083830 reality: local lives and fortunes are tied to global capital. You see this clearly in 0190083832 metropolises such as San Francisco and New York that have emerged as "superstar Pub Date: 3/2/2020 $29.95 cities." In these cities, startups bloom, jobs of the future multiply, and a meritocracy Discount Code: 1A trained in digital technology, backed by investors who control deep pools of capital, Hardcover forms a new class: the tech-financial elite. In The Innovation Complex, the eminent 296 Pages urbanist Sharon Zukin shows the way these forces shape the new urban economy Social Science / Sociology through a rich and illuminating account of the rise of the tech sector in New York City. SOC026000 Drawing from original interviews with venture capitalists, tech evangelists, and economic development officials, she shows how the ecosystem forms and reshapes the city from the ground up.

Zukin explores the people and plans that have literally rooted digital technology in the city. That in turn has shaped a workforce, molded a mindset, and generated an archipelago of tech spaces, which in combination have produced a now-hegemonic "innovation" culture and geography. She begins with the subculture of hackathons and meetups, introduces startup founders and venture capitalists, and explores the transformation of the Brooklyn waterfront from industrial wasteland to "innovation coastline." She shows how, far beyond Silicon Valley, cities like New York are shaped by an influential "triple helix" of business, government, and university leaders--an alliance that joins C. Wright Mills's "power elite," real estate developers, and ambitious avatars of "academic capitalism." As a result, cities around the world are caught between the demands of the tech economy and communities' desires for growth--a massive and often--insurmountable challenge for those who hope to reap the rewards of innovation's success.

78 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Climate Change and the Nation State The Case for Nationalism in a Warming World Anatol Lieven Key Selling Points • Ties the struggle to limit climate change to nationalism and national interests in a way that has not been done before • Shows how nationalism can motivate people to sacrifice their own interests to save future generations from climate change • Contrasts the limited threats from Russia and China, with which are security elites are obsessed, with the far greater threats of climate change to the USA and Western democracy • Shows how an enduring national consensus can be created in support of a "Green New Deal" Argues for the need to strengthen national resilience in order to withstand the effects of climate change and other future shocks • Opens up the debate on climate change to new ideological contributions, and calls on moderate conservatives to recognise their patriotic duty to combat climate change 9780190090180 0190090189 Summary Pub Date: 4/1/2020 The climate emergency is intensifying, while international responses continue to falter. $27.95 Discount Code: 1A In Climate Change and the Nation State, Anatol Lieven outlines a revolutionary Hardcover approach grounded in realist thinking. This involves redefining climate change as an

240 Pages existential threat to nation states - which it is - and mobilizing both national security Political Science / Public Policy elites and mass nationalism. He condemns Western militaries for neglecting climate POL044000 change and instead prioritizing traditional but less serious threats.

Lieven reminds us that nationalism is the most important force in motivating people to care about the wellbeing of future generations. The support of nationalism is therefore vital to legitimizing the sacrifices necessary to limit climate change and surviving and the effects of it (some of which are now inevitable). This will require greatly strengthened social and national solidarity across lines of class and race. Throughout, Lieven draws on historical examples to show how nationalism has helped enable past movements to implement progressive social reform.

Lieven strongly supports plans for a "Green New Deal" in the USA and Europe. In order to implement and maintain such changes, however, it will be necessary to create dominant national consensuses like those that enabled and sustained the original New Deal and welfare states in Europe. Lieven criticizes sections of the environmentalist left for hindering this by their hostility to national interests, their utopian political naiveté, their advancement of divisive cultural agendas, and their commitment to open borders.

Radical and timely, Climate Change and the Nation State is an essential contribution to the debate on how to deal with a climatic crisis that if unchecked will threaten the survival of Western democracies and every organized human society. Contributor Bio

It served as a template for the forging of much of Latin America and began the globalized world we inhabit today. This violent encounter and the new colonial order it created, a New Spain, was millennia in the making, with independent cultural developments on both sides of the Atlantic and their fateful entanglement during the pivotal Aztec-Spanish war of 1519-1521.

82 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Never Trump The Revolt of the Conservative Elites Robert P. Saldin, Steven M. Teles Key Selling Points • Seeks to explain the reasons for the widespread and unprecedented intra-party opposition to Trump, why it took the form it did, and its longer-term consequences • Pays particular attention to explaining the critical variations in opposition-why did some parts of the party elite take a stance of maximal opposition • Looks forward to the impact of the Never Trump network on the future of the Republican party Summary In early 2016, as it became increasingly apparent that Donald Trump might actually become the Republican nominee, a movement within conservatism formed to stop him: Never Trump. Comprised primarily of Republican policy elites and conservative 9780190880446 intellectuals, the Never Trumpers saw Trump's stated views as a repudiation of 0190880449 longstanding Republican foreign and domestic policy goals. Just as importantly, they Pub Date: 8/1/2020 saw him as erratic, mendacious, and unfit--the sort of person the founders warned $27.95 Discount Code: 1A about and someone who would bring everlasting shame to the Republican Party. Over Hardcover the coming months, many well-known and previously influential figures signed on to the Never Trump movement. Of course, their efforts failed, and Trump now dominates 256 Pages Political Science / Comparative the Republican Party like a warlord. Politics POL009000 As Robert P. Saldin and Steven M. Teles argue in Never Trump, however, the influence of the movement turned out to be much larger than its disappointing impact on the election. For one, it has had an enormous impact on the actual composition of the Trump administration. There has never been a party in the Western World that was elected and sought to govern with such a wide range of intra-party opposition. As Trump supporter Pat Buchanan observed after the election, the Never Trumpers essentially gifted Trump with a readymade enemies list-a list that those in charge of appointments paid close attention to. Trump's picks for a wide range of positions, especially in the area of foreign policy, look vastly different than they would have in any other Republican administration, in large part because so many potential office- holders had declared themselves implacably opposed to Trump. Even more profoundly, the administration found it very difficult--and in many cases impossible--to fill a wide range of positions because all of the plausible candidates for jobs that required technocratic as well as ideological credentials had signed on to Never Trump.

Never Trump examines the reasons for this widespread and unprecedented intra-party opposition to Trump, why it took the form it did, and its longer-term consequences. Contributor Bio

Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Soviet Judgment at Nuremberg A New History of the International Military Tribunal after World War II Francine Hirsch Key Selling Points • A fresh and novel retelling of the Nuremberg trials and all the participants, using the Soviet perspective • The first full-length work to give a complete picture of the role of the Soviet Union in the Nuremberg Trials • Reveals the critical role of the Soviet Union in the International Military Tribunal • Exposes the irony of Soviets exacting moral judgment on the Nazis, as both countries committed similar atrocities Summary The Nuremberg Trials (IMT), most notable for their aim to bring perpetrators of Nazi war crimes to justice in the wake of World War II, paved the way for global conversations about genocide, justice, and human rights that continue to this day. As Francine Hirsch reveals in this new history of the trials, a central part of the story has 9780199377930 been ignored or forgotten: the critical role the Soviet Union played in making them 0199377936 Pub Date: 6/1/2020 happen in the first place. While there were practical reasons for this omission--until $34.95 recently, critical Soviet documents about Nuremberg were buried in the former Soviet Discount Code: 1A archives, and even Russian researchers had limited access--Hirsch shows that there Hardcover were political reasons as well. The Soviet Union was regarded by its wartime Allies 512 Pages not just as a fellow victor but a rival, and it was not in the interests of the Western 30 b/w illustrations powers to highlight the Soviet contribution to postwar justice. Stalin's Show Trials of the 1930s had both provided a model for Nuremberg and made a mockery of it, undermining any pretense of fairness and justice. Further complicating matters was the fact that the Soviets had allied with the Nazis before being invaded by them. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 hung over the courtroom, as did the fact that the everyone knew that the Soviet prosecution had presented the court with falsified evidence about the Katyn massacre of Polish officers, attempting to pin one of their own major war crimes on the Nazis. For lead American prosecutor Robert Jackson and his colleagues, focusing too much on the Soviet role in the trials threatened the overall credibility of the IMT and possibly even the collective memory of the war.

Soviet Justice at Nuremberg illuminates the ironies of Stalin's henchmen presiding in moral judgment over the Nazis. In effect, the Nazis had learned mass-suppression and mass-murder techniques from the Soviets, their former allies, and now the latter were judging them for crimes they had themselves committed. Yet the Soviets had borne the brunt of the fighting--and the losses--in World War II, and this gave them undeniable authority. Moreover, Soviet jurists were the first to conceive of a legal framework for viewing war as a crime, and without that framework the IMT would have had no basis. In short, there would be no denying their place at the tribunal, nor their determination to make the most of it. Illuminating the shifting relationships between the four countries involved (the U.S., Great Britain, France, and the U.S.S.R.) Hirsch's book shows how each was not just facing off against the Nazi defendants, but against each other and offers a new history of Nuremberg. Contributor Bio

87 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Where Great Powers Meet America and China in Southeast Asia David Shambaugh Key Selling Points • Examines the comprehensive competition between the United States and China, which is the most distinguishing feature of international relations at present and indefinitely into the future • Challenges the pervasive and predominant narrative that China is the "inevitable" dominant power while the US is in inexorable decline • Makes predictions about the future of the relationship between China and the United States Summary After the end of the Cold War, it seemed as if Southeast Asia would remain a geopolitically stable region within the American imperious for the foreseeable future. In the last two decades, however, the re-emergence of China as a major great power has called into question the geopolitical future of the region and raised the specter of 9780190914974 renewed of great power competition. 0190914971 Pub Date: 7/1/2020 $29.95 As the eminent China scholar David Shambaugh explains in Where Great Powers Discount Code: 1A Meet, the United States and China are engaged in a broad-gauged and global Hardcover competition for power. While this competition ranges across the entire world, it is 288 Pages centered in Asia, and in this book, Shambaugh focuses the ten countries that Political Science / Geopolitics comprise Southeast Asia. The United States and China constantly vie for position and POL062000 influence in this enormously significant region-and the outcome of this contest will do much to determine whether Asia leaves the American orbit after seven decades and falls into a new Chinese sphere of influence. Just as importantly, to the extent that there is a global "power transition" occurring from the US to China, the fate of Southeast Asia will be a good indicator. Presently, both powers bring important assets to bear. The US continues to possess a depth and breadth of security ties, soft power, and direct investment across the region that empirically outweigh China's. For its part, China has more diplomatic influence, much greater trade, and geographic proximity. In assessing the likelihood of a regional power transition, Shambaugh at how ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and the countries within it maneuver between the United States and China and the degree to which they align with one or the other power.

Not simply an analysis of the region's place within an evolving international system, Where Great Powers Meet provides us with a comprehensive strategy that advances the American position while exploiting Chinese weaknesses. Contributor Bio

With personal genetic testing kits in homes and GMO foods in stores, DNA is an increasingly familiar term. Unfortunately, what people know, or think they know, about DNA and genetics is often confused or incorrect. Contrary to popular belief, for instance, genes don't "skip a generation" and, no, human DNA is not "different" from DNA of other species. With popular misconceptions proliferating in the news and on the internet, how can anyone sort fact from fiction? 9780190092962 0190092963 DNA Demystified satisfies the public appetite for and curiosity about DNA and Pub Date: 6/2/2020 $29.95 genetics.

The book begins with the basic groundwork and a brief 424 Pages history of DNA and genetics. Chapters then cover newsworthy topics, including DNA 15 figures fingerprinting, using DNA in forensic analyses, and identifying cold-case criminals. For readers intrigued by the proliferation of at-home DNA tests, the text includes fascinating explorations of genetic genealogy and family tree construction-crucial for people seeking their biological ancestry. Other chapters describe genetic engineering in medicine and pharmaceuticals, and the use of those same technologies in creating the far more controversial GMOs in food and agriculture. Throughout, the book raises provocative ethical and privacy issues arising from DNA and genetic technologies.

With the author's comprehensive expertise, DNA Demystified offers an informal yet authoritative guide to the genetic marvel of DNA. Contributor Bio

91 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog On Inhumanity Dehumanization and How to Resist It David Livingstone Smith Key Selling Points • An accessible guide to understanding and fighting dehumanization • Explores why and how the human mind can think of others as less than human • Draws on psychology, history, and politics to explain dehumanization • Integrates examples from history with more recent examples, such as those in current US and global politics Summary The Rwandan genocide, the Holocaust, the lynching of African Americans, the colonial slave trade: these are horrific episodes of mass violence spawned from racism and hatred. We like to think that we could never see such evils again--that we would stand up and fight. But something deep in the human psyche--deeper than prejudice itself--leads people to persecute the other: dehumanization, or the human propensity 9780190923006 0190923008 to think of others as less than human. Pub Date: 7/1/2020 $19.95 An award-winning author and philosopher, Smith takes an unflinching look at the Discount Code: 1A Hardcover mechanisms of the mind that encourage us to see someone as less than human. There is something peculiar and horrifying in human psychology that makes us 240 Pages Philosophy / Ethics & Moral vulnerable to thinking of whole groups of people as subhuman creatures. When Philosophy governments or other groups stand to gain by exploiting this innate propensity, and PHI005000 know just how to manipulate words and images to trigger it, there is no limit to the violence and hatred that can result.

Drawing on numerous historical and contemporary cases and recent psychological research, On Inhumanity is the first accessible guide to the phenomenon of dehumanization. Smith walks readers through the psychology of dehumanization, revealing its underlying role in both notorious and lesser-known episodes of violence from history and current events. In particular, he considers the uncomfortable kinship between racism and dehumanization, where beliefs involving race are so often precursors to dehumanization and the horrors that flow from it.

On Inhumanity is bracing and vital reading in a world lurching towards authoritarian political regimes, resurgent white nationalism, refugee crises that breed nativist hostility, and fast-spreading racist rhetoric. The book will open your eyes to the pervasive dangers of dehumanization and the prejudices that can too easily take root within us, and resist them before they spread into the wider world.

Rotberg is one of the world's foremost Hardcover authorities on African politics and society, and in this book he synthesizes his 312 Pages knowledge of the continent into a concise overview of the current state of Africa and Political Science / Geopolitics where it is likely headed. POL062000 To that end, Rotberg considers Africa's myriad peoples. The continent is currently experiencing explosive population growth and rapid urbanization. How well are African states managing this epochal shift? He looks at how Africa's nations are governed, ranging from states with autocratic kleptocrats to democratized regimes that have made progress in achieving economic growth and battling corruption. He then turns to African economies, looking at growth levels, productivity, and persistent corruption. He concludes by filling in the picture, covering the effects of war, health care, wildlife management, varieties of religious belief, education, technology diffusion, and the character of both city and village life in this ever-evolving region.

Throughout this sweeping work, Rotberg deftly moves readers across the continent, from Nigeria to South Africa, from Kenya to Senegal, to name a few. While there are undeniable cross-continental commonalities related to governance, demographics, and economic performance, he shows the unique variations of who and what is African. For anyone interested in reading a comprehensive yet pithy synthesis of a vast region possessing the world's fastest-growing population, this book is the ideal introduction. Contributor Bio

97 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Greenovation Urban Leadership on Climate Change Joan Fitzgerald Key Selling Points • Includes interviews with practitioners and elected officials on what works and what doesn't and why • Compares and contrasts cities in North America and Europe • Examines economic development and equity aspects of climate action Summary Collectively, cities take up a relatively tiny amount of land on the earth, yet emit 72 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Clearly, cities need to be at the center of any broad effort to reduce climate change.

In Greenovation, the eminent urban policy scholar Joan Fitzgerald argues that too many cities are only implementing random acts of greenness that will do little to address the climate crisis. She instead calls for "greenovation"--using the city as a 9780190695514 test bed for adopting and perfecting green technologies for more energy--efficient 019069551X buildings, transportation, and infrastructure more broadly. Further, Fitzgerald contends Pub Date: 3/27/2020 $29.95 that while many city mayors cite income inequality as a pressing problem, few cities Discount Code: 1A are connecting climate action and social justice-another aspect of greenovation. Hardcover Focusing on the biggest producers of greenhouse gases in cities, buildings, energy 264 Pages and transportation, Fitzgerald examines how greenovating cities are reducing 20 illustrations emissions overall and lays out an agenda for fostering and implementing urban Political Science / Public Policy innovations that can help reverse the path toward irrevocable climate damage. POL028000 Drawing on interviews with practitioners in more than 20 North American and European cities, she identifies the strategies and policies they are employing and how support from state, provincial and national governments has supported or thwarted their efforts.

A uniquely urban-focused appraisal of the economic, political, and social debates that underpin the drive to "go green," Greenovation helps us understand what is arguably the toughest policy problem of our era: the increasing impact of anthropocentric climate change on modern social life.

99 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Back Pocket God Religion and Spirituality in the Lives of Emerging Adults Melinda Lundquist Denton, Richard Flory, Christian... Key Selling Points • Builds on previous volumes grounded in the National Study of Youth and Religion • Provides a more nuanced story of emerging adults and their relationship with religion and spirituality than is available from recent books and other reports • Study followed the same group of young people over the course of a decade Summary More than a decade ago, a group of researchers began to study the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers. They tracked these young people over the course of a decade, revisiting them periodically to check in on the state -and future- of religion in America, and reporting on their findings in a series of books, beginning with Soul Searching (2005). Now, with Back-Pocket God, this mammoth research project comes to its conclusion. What have we learned about the changing shape of religion in America? 9780190064785 0190064781 Back-Pocket God explores continuity and change among young people from their Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $29.95 teenage years through the latter stages of "emerging adulthood." Melinda Lundquist Discount Code: 1A Denton and Richard Flory find that the story of young adult religion is one of an Hardcover overall decline in commitment and affiliation, and in general, a moving away from 304 Pages organized religion. Yet, there is also a parallel trend in which a small, religiously Social Science / Sociology Of committed group of emerging adults claim faith as an important fixture in their lives. Religion Emerging adults don't seem so much opposed to religion or to religious organizations, SOC039000 at least in the abstract, as they are uninterested in religion, at least as they have experienced it. Religion is like an app on the ubiquitous smartphones in our back pockets: readily accessible, easy to control, and useful-but only for limited purposes.

Denton and Flory show that some of the popular assumptions about young people and religion are not as clear as what many people seem to believe. The authors challenge the characterizations of religiously unaffiliated emerging adults -sometimes called "religious nones"- as undercover atheists. At the other end of the spectrum, they question the assumption that those who are not religious will return to religion once they marry and have children.

101 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Puzzle of Prison Order Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the World David Skarbek Key Selling Points • The first major work to analyze prison governance institutions around the world, instead of only in one country • Features remarkable discussions of how prisoners live and conspire behind bars in both historical and contemporary settings • Offers the first framework for doing comparative analysis of prison settings through a theoretical approach that can be used in future research by scholars • Provides positive analysis that is the foundation of this book identifies numerous normative implications that inform policy • Draws on a wide range of interdisciplinary theories and evidence Summary Many people think prisons are all the same-rows of cells filled with violent men who officials rule with an iron fist. Yet, life behind bars varies in incredible ways. In some 9780190672508 facilities, prison officials govern with care and attention to prisoners' needs. In others, 0190672501 Pub Date: 8/1/2020 officials have remarkably little influence on the everyday life of prisoners, sometimes $27.95 not even providing necessities like food and clean water. Why does prison social order Discount Code: 1A around the world look so remarkably different? In The Puzzle of Prison Order, David Paperback Skarbek develops a theory of why prisons and prison life vary so much. He finds that 264 Pages how they're governed-sometimes by the state, and sometimes by the prisoners- Political Science / Comparative matters the most. He investigates life in a wide array of prisons-in Brazil, Bolivia, Politics POL009000 Norway, a prisoner of war camp, England and Wales, women's prisons in California, and a gay and transgender housing unit in the Los Angeles County Jail-to understand the hierarchy of life on the inside. Drawing on economics and a vast empirical literature on legal systems, Skarbek offers a framework to not only understand why life on the inside varies in such fascinating and novel ways, but also how social order evolves and takes root behind bars.

103 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Return of Great Power Rivalry Democracy versus Autocracy from the Ancient World to the U.S. and China Matthew Kroenig Key Selling Points • Seeks to answer to a central question in international politics: why do great powers rise and fall? • Provides an innovative argument about how domestic political institutions are the key to a state's ability to amass power and influence in the international system • Offers a sweeping historical analysis of democratic and autocratic competitors from ancient Greece through the Cold War • Employs a unique framework to understand and analyze the state of today's competition between the democratic United States and its autocratic competitors, Russia and China

9780190080242 Summary 0190080248 Pub Date: 3/27/2020 The United States of America has been the most powerful country in the world for $29.95 over seventy years, but recently the U.S. National Security Strategy declared that the Discount Code: 1A return of great power competition with Russia and China is the greatest threat to U.S. Hardcover national security. Further, many analysts predict that America's autocratic rivals will 272 Pages have at least some success in disrupting-and, in the longer term, possibly even 3 b/w line drawings displacing-U.S. global leadership. Political Science / Geopolitics POL062000 Brilliant and engagingly written, The Return of Great Power Rivalry argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong. Drawing on an extraordinary range of historical evidence and the works of figures like Herodotus, Machiavelli, and Montesquieu and combining it with cutting-edge social science research, Matthew Kroenig advances the riveting argument that democracies tend to excel in great power rivalries. He contends that democracies actually have unique economic, diplomatic, and military advantages in long-run geopolitical competitions. He considers autocratic advantages as well, but shows that these are more than outweighed by their vulnerabilities.Kroenig then shows these arguments through the seven most important cases of democratic-versus-autocratic rivalries throughout history, from the ancient world to the Cold War. Finally, he analyzes the new era of great power rivalry among the United States, Russia, and China through the lens of the democratic advantage argument. By advancing a "hard-power" argument for democracy, Kroenig demonstrates that despite its many problems, the U.S. is better positioned to maintain a global leadership role than either Russia or China.

A vitally important book for anyone concerned about the future of global geopolitics, The Return of Great Power Rivalry provides both an innovative way of thinking about power in international politics and an optimistic assessment of the future of American global leadership.

105 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Ballet Class An American History Melissa R. Klapper Key Selling Points • First social history of ballet class in America • Based on an impressive collection oral histories, archives, dance periodicals, children's books, memoirs by professional dancers and choreographers, and ballet pedagogy manuals • Charts the expansion of ballet from the early twentieth century to the present day Summary Surveying the state of American ballet in a 1913 issue of McClure's Magazine, author Willa Cather reported that few girls expressed any interest in taking ballet class and that those who did were hard-pressed to find anything other than dingy studios and imperious teachers. One hundred years later, ballet is everywhere. There are ballet companies large and small across the United States; ballet is commonly featured in film, television, literature, and on social media; professional ballet dancers are 9780190908683 spokespeople for all kinds of products; nail polish companies market colors like "Ballet 0190908688 Pub Date: 3/2/2020 Slippers" and "Prima Ballerina;" and, most importantly, millions of American children $29.95 have taken ballet class. Beginning with the arrival of Russian dancers like Anna Discount Code: 1A Pavlova, who first toured the United States on the eve of World War I, Ballet Class: Hardcover An American History explores the growth of ballet from an ancillary part of 432 Pages nineteenth-century musical theater, opera, and vaudeville to the quintessential 27 photos extracurricular activity it is today, pursued by countless children nationwide and an Performing Arts / Dance PER003010 integral part of twentieth-century American childhood across borders of gender, class, race, and sexuality. A social history, Ballet Class takes a new approach to the very popular subject of ballet and helps ground an art form often perceived to be elite in the experiences of regular, everyday people who spent time in barre-lined studios across the United States. Drawing on a wide variety of materials, including children's books, memoirs by professional dancers and choreographers, pedagogy manuals, and dance periodicals, in addition to archival collections and oral histories, this pathbreaking study provides a deeply-researched national perspective on the history and significance of recreational ballet class in the United States and its influence on many facets of children's lives, including gender norms, consumerism, body image, children's literature, extracurricular activities, and popular culture.

107 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog China's Western Horizon Beijing and the New Geopolitics of Eurasia Daniel Markey Key Selling Points • Serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the geopolitical implications of China's new initiatives in Eurasia • Argues that the United States needs to think and act "locally" in order to compete with China globally • Provides policy suggestions that runs counter to much of the prevailing wisdom in Washington, DC, recommending selective, localized strategy • Blends research with unique first-hand accounts and interviews as well as deeper analysis and history of China and nearby countries • Offers a model for how scholars should assess political dynamics in different parts of the world Summary Under the ambitious leadership of President Xi Jinping, China is zealously 9780190680190 transforming its wealth and economic power into potent tools of global political 0190680199 influence. But China's foreign policy initiatives, even the vaunted "Belt and Road," will Pub Date: 3/2/2020 $29.95 be shaped and redefined as they confront the ground realities of local and regional Discount Code: 1A politics outside China. In China's Western Horizon, Daniel S. Markey, a scholar of Hardcover international relations and former member of the U.S. State Department's policy 344 Pages planning staff, previews how China's efforts are likely to play out along its "western Political Science / International horizon:" across the swath of Eurasia that includes South Asia, Central Asia, and the Relations Middle East. POL011000

Drawing from extensive interviews, travels, and historical research, Markey describes how perceptions of China vary widely within states such as Pakistan, Kazakhstan, and Iran. Powerful and privileged groups across the region often expect to profit from their connections to China, while others fear commercial and political losses. Similarly, Eurasian statesmen are scrambling to harness China's energy purchases, arms sales, and infrastructure investment. These leaders are working with China in order to outdo their strategic competitors, including India and Saudi Arabia, and simultaneously negotiating relations with Russia and America. On balance, Markey anticipates that China's deepening involvement will play to the advantage of regional strongmen and exacerbate the political tensions within and among Eurasian states. To make the most of America's limited influence in China's backyard (and elsewhere), he argues that U.S. policymakers should pursue a selective and localized strategy to serve America's specific aims in Eurasia and to better compete with China over the long run.

By the next day, Jefferson held in his hands two astonishing manuscripts whose history has been lost for over two centuries.

111 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Taking America Back for God Christian Nationalism in the United States Andrew L. Whitehead, Samuel L. Perry Key Selling Points • Uses data collected over that past several decades • Includes interviews from Americans of all walks of life • First comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism Summary Why do so many conservative Christians continue to support Donald Trump despite his many overt moral failings? Why do many Americans advocate so vehemently for xenophobic policies, such as a border wall with Mexico? Why do many Americans seem so unwilling to acknowledge the injustices that ethnic and racial minorities experience in the United States? Why do a sizeable proportion of Americans continue to oppose women's equality in the workplace and in the home?

To answer these questions, Taking America Back for God points to the phenomenon of 9780190057886 "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is-and should be-a Christian 0190057882 nation. Christian ideals and symbols have long played an important role in American Pub Date: 3/2/2020 $29.95 public life, but Christian nationalism is about far more than whether the phrase Discount Code: 1A "under God" belongs in the pledge of allegiance. At its heart, Christian nationalism Hardcover demands that we must preserve a particular kind of social order, an order in which 280 Pages everyone--Christians and non-Christians, native-born and immigrants, whites and Social Science / Sociology Of minorities, men and women recognizes their "proper" place in society. The first Religion comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, Taking SOC039000 America Back for God illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues.

Drawing on multiple sources of national survey data as well as in-depth interviews, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry document how Christian nationalism shapes what Americans think about who they are as a people, what their future should look like, and how they should get there. Americans' stance toward Christian nationalism provides powerful insight into what they think about immigration, Islam, gun control, police shootings, atheists, gender roles, and many other political issues-very much including who they want in the White House. Taking America Back for God is a guide to one of the most important-and least understood-forces shaping American politics. Contributor Bio

Compton Key Selling Points • Examines the long-term trends behind evangelical support for Donald Trump • Explores the rise of white Protestant social concern in the latter part of the nineteenth century and its sudden demise and the end of the twentieth • Employs archival evidence and public opinion data from the mid-nineteenth century to the present Summary When polling data showed that an overwhelming 81% of white evangelicals had voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, commentators across the political spectrum were left aghast. Even for a community that had been tracking further and further right for decades, this support seemed decidedly out of step. How, after all, could an amoral, twice-divorced businessman from New York garner such devoted admiration from the most vociferous of values voters? That this same group had, not 9780190069186 a century earlier, rallied national support for such progressive causes as a federal 019006918X minimum wage, child labor laws, and civil rights made the Trump shift even harder to Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $34.95 square. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover In The End of Empathy, John W. Compton presents a nuanced portrait of the 408 Pages changing values of evangelical voters over the course of the last century. To explain Religion / Religion, Politics & State the rise of white Protestant social concern in the latter part of the nineteenth century REL084000 and its sudden demise at the end of the twentieth, Compton argues that religious conviction, by itself, is rarely sufficient to motivate empathetic political behavior. When believers do act empathetically--championing reforms that transfer resources or political influence to less privileged groups within society, for example--it is typically because strong religious institutions have compelled them to do so.

Citizens throughout the previous century had sought membership in churches as a means of ensuring upward mobility, but a deterioration of mainline Protestant authority that started in the 1960s led large groups of white suburbanites to shift away from the mainline Protestant churches. There to pick up the slack were larger evangelical congregations with conservative leaders who discouraged attempts by the government to promote a more equitable distribution of wealth and political authority. That shift, Compton argues, explains the larger revolution in white Protestantism that brought us to this political moment. Contributor Bio

115 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog A Change is Gonna Come How to Have Effective Political Conversations in a Divided America Brian F. Harrison Key Selling Points • Includes concrete, actionable steps to improve our political conversations • Relies on academic research in everyday, readable language • Examines LGBTQ advocacy, bringing context and utility to one of the most fascinating public opinion shifts in contemporary American politics Summary Get your head out of your @*&. Snowflake. Stupid liberal. Ignorant conservative. There is much discussion today about the decline in civility in American politics. Couple this phenomenon with the fracturing and hardening of political attitudes, and one might wonder how deliberative democracy, much less political civility, can survive if we can't even talk to people with whom we disagree. Insults are thrown, feelings are hurt, and family and friends, at best, decide to avoid political discussions altogether. At worst, arguments cause social groups to break apart. How can 9780190939557 deliberative democracy survive if we can't even speak to people with whom we 0190939559 Pub Date: 4/1/2020 disagree? $29.95 Discount Code: 1A As this book argues, we need a new way to discuss politics, one that encourages Hardcover engagement and room for dissent. One way to approach this challenge is to consider 208 Pages how public opinion changes. By and large, public opinion is sticky and change occurs Political Science / Comparative very slowly; one exception to this is the more recent and significant change in public Politics POL009000 opinion toward LGBTQ rights and marriage equality. The marriage equality movement is considered one of the great success stories of political advocacy, but why was it so successful? Brian F. Harrison argues that one of the most powerful reasons is that a broad range of marriage equality advocates were willing to engage in contentious and sometimes uncomfortable discussion about their opinions on the matter. They started everyday conversations that got people out of their echo chambers and encouraged them to start listening and thinking. But the question remains, if simple conversation can work in one arena, can it work in others? And how and where does one approach such conversation?

Drawing from social psychology, communication studies, and political science, as well as personal narratives and examples, A Change is Gonna Come reflects on the last fifteen years of LGBTQ advocacy to propose practical ways to approach informal political conversation on a variety of contentious issues. This book seeks to answer the seemingly simple question: how can we be politically civil to each other again? Contributor Bio

Trump's repeated Hardcover rejection of liberal order, criticisms of long-term allies of the US, and affinity for 304 Pages authoritarian leaders certainly undermines the American international system, but the Political Science / Geopolitics truth is that liberal international order has been quietly eroding for at least 15 years. POL062000 In Exit from Hegemony, Alexander Cooley and Daniel Nexon develop a new, integrated approach to understanding the rise and decline of hegemonic orders. Their approach identifies three distinct ways in which the liberal international order is undergoing fundamental transformation. First, Russia and China have targeted the order, positioning themselves as revisionist powers by establishing alternative regional institutions and pushing counter-norms. Second, weaker states are hollowing out the order by seeking patronage and security partnership from nations outside of the order, such as Saudi Arabia and China. Even though they do not always seek to disrupt American hegemony, these new patron-client relationships lack the same liberal political and economic conditions as those involving the United States and its democratic allies. Third, a new series of transnational networks emphasizing illiberalism, nationalism, and right-wing values increasing challenges the anti-authoritarian, progressive transnational networks of the 1990s. These three pathways erode the primacy of the liberal international order from above, laterally, and from below. The Trump administration, with its "America First" doctrine, accelerates all three processes, critically lessening America's position as a world power. Contributor Bio

As former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates once noted: "We have a perfect record in predicting the next war. We have never once gotten it right." In the face of such great uncertainty, militaries must be able to adapt rapidly in order to win.

Barno and Bensahel start by providing a framework for understanding adaptation and include historical cases of success and failure. Next, they examine U.S. military adaptation during the nation's recent wars, and explain why certain forms of adaptation have proven problematic. In the final section, Barno and Bensahel conclude that the U.S. military must become much more adaptable in order to address the fast-changing security challenges of the future, and they offer recommendations on how to do so before it is too late.

The then-outlawed French Communist party aimed to channel the frustrations of hungry Parisians by organizing such actions throughout the capital and beyond. The so-called "women's demonstration on the rue de Buci" was one such protest, part of a larger, overarching resistance movement against the collaborationist Vichy regime and the 9780190681548 German occupiers.

This book reclaims this story and situates it in the broader history of the 328 Pages struggle for African American freedom in the civil rights and black power eras. 15 halftones The book explores the essential role of white supremacy in causing the shootings and shaping the aftermath. By 1970, even historically conservative campuses such as Jackson State, where an all-white Board of Trustees of Institutions of Higher Learning had long exercised its power to control student behavior, were beginning to feel the impact of the movements for African American freedom. Though most of the students at Jackson State remained focused not on activism but their educations, racial consciousness was taking hold. It was this campus police attacked. Acting on racial animus and with impunity, the shootings reflected both traditional patterns of repression and the new logic and rhetoric of "law and order," with its thinly veiled racial coding.

In the aftermath, the victims and their survivors struggled unsuccessfully to find justice. Despite multiple investigative commissions, two grand juries and a civil suit brought by students and the families of the dead, the law and order narrative proved too powerful. No officers were charged, no restitution was paid, and no apologies were offered. The shootings were soon largely forgotten except among the local African American community, the injured victimized once more by historical amnesia born of the unwillingness to acknowledge the essential role of race in causing the violence.

127 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Engineering America The Life and Times of John A. Roebling Richard Haw Key Selling Points • The most comprehensive biography of John Roebling and the first in over 75 years • Based on immense amount of original archival material that sheds light on many unknown aspects of Roebling's life • Narrates Roebling's life not just as an engineer, but also the places and times in which he lived Summary John Roebling was one of the nineteenth century's most brilliant engineers, ingenious inventors, successful manufacturers, and fascinating personalities. Raised in a German backwater amid the war-torn chaos of the Napoleonic Wars, he immigrated to the US in 1831, where he became wealthy and acclaimed, eventually receiving a carte- blanche contract to build one of the nineteenth century's most stupendous and daring works of engineering: a gigantic suspension bridge to span the East River between 9780190663902 New York and Brooklyn. In between, he thought, wrote, and worked tirelessly. He dug 0190663901 canals and surveyed railroads; he planned communities and founded new industries. Pub Date: 5/1/2020 $34.95 Horace Greeley called him "a model immigrant"; generations later, F. Scott Fitzgerald Discount Code: 1A worked on a script for the movie version of his life. Hardcover

640 Pages Like his finest creations, Roebling was held together by the delicate balance of 65 hts countervailing forces. On the surface, his life was exemplary and his accomplishments Biography & Autobiography legion. As an immigrant and employer, he was respected throughout the world. As an / Science & Technology BIO015000 engineer, his works profoundly altered the physical landscape of America. He was a voracious reader, a fervent abolitionist, and an engaged social commentator. His understanding of the natural world, however, bordered on the occult and his opinions about medicine are best described as medieval. For a man of science and great self-certainty, he was also remarkably quick to seize on a whole host of fads and foolish trends. Yet Roebling held these strands together. Throughout his life, he believed in the moral application of science and technology, that bridges--along with other great works of connection, the Atlantic Cable, the Transcontinental Railroad--could help bring people together, erase divisions, and heal wounds. Like Walt Whitman, Roebling was deeply committed to the creation of a more perfect union, forged from the raw materials of the continent.

John Roebling was a complex, deeply divided yet undoubtedly influential figure, and this biography illuminates not only his works but also the world of nineteenth-century America. Roebling's engineering feats are well known, but the man himself is not; for alongside the drama of large scale construction lies an equally rich drama of intellectual and social development and crisis, one that mirrored and reflected the great forces, trials, and failures of nineteenth century America.

129 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Rebels in the Making The Secession Crisis and the Birth of the Confederacy William L. Barney Key Selling Points • A sweeping narrative of the origins of secession by a distinguished Civil War historian • A one-volume study that examines the political developments in each of the fifteen slave states and how they culminated in secession • Brings together the economic, social, and political circumstances affecting the southern states • Incorporates many archival sources that highlight the voices and actions of plantation owners, non-slaveholders, women, the enslaved, free blacks, and politicians Summary Regardless of whether they owned slaves, Southern whites lived in a world defined by slavery. As shown by their blaming British and Northern slave traders for saddling 9780190076085 them with slavery, most were uncomfortable with the institution. While many wanted 0190076089 it ended, most were content to leave that up to God. All that changed with the Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $34.95 election of Abraham Lincoln. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover Rebels in the Making 384 Pages is a narrative-driven history of how and why secession occurred. In this work, senior 20 halftones Civil War historian William L. Barney narrates the explosion of the sectional conflict into secession and civil war. Carefully examining the events in all fifteen slave states and distinguishing the political circumstances in each, he argues that this was not a mass democratic movement but one led from above.

The work begins with the deepening strains within Southern society as the slave economy matured in the mid-nineteenth century and Southern ideologues struggled to convert whites to the orthodoxy of slavery as a positive good. It then focuses on the years of 1860-1861 when the sectional conflict led to the break-up of the Union. As foreshadowed by the fracturing of the Democratic Party over the issue of federal protection for slavery in the territories, the election of 1860 set the stage for secession. Exploiting fears of slave insurrections, anxieties over crops ravaged by a long drought, and the perceived moral degradation of submitting to the rule of an antislavery Republican, secessionists launched a movement in South Carolina that spread across the South in a frenzied atmosphere described as the great excitement. After examining why Congress was unable to reach a compromise on the core issue of slavery's expansion, the study shows why secession swept over the Lower South in January of 1861 but stalled in the Upper South. The driving impetus for secession is shown to have come from the middling ranks of the slaveholders who saw their aspirations of planter status blocked and denigrated by the Republicans. A separate chapter on the formation of the Confederate government in February of 1861 reveals how moderates and former conservatives pushed aside the original secessionists to assume positions of leadership. The final chapter centers on the crisis over Fort Sumter, the resolution of which by Lincoln precipitated a second wave of secession in the Upper South.

Rebels in the Making shows that secession was not a unified movement, but has its own proponents and patterns in each of the slave states. It draws together the voices of planters, non-slaveholders, women, the enslaved, journalists, and politicians. This is the definitive study of the seminal moment in Southern history that culminated in the Civil War. Contributor Bio

131 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Tornado God American Religion and Violent Weather Peter J. Thuesen Key Selling Points • Reveals how the weather has repeatedly confronted Americans with the most difficult problems in theology • Clarifies urgent ethical problems, including climate change and the issue of human complicity in natural disasters • Shows how the weather has complicated Americans' sense of their own destiny-how much is self-determined and how much is beyond their understanding or control Summary One of the earliest sources of humanity's religious impulse was severe weather, which ancient peoples attributed to the wrath of storm gods. Enlightenment thinkers derided such beliefs as superstition and predicted they would pass away as humans became more scientifically and theologically sophisticated. But in America, scientific and theological hubris came face-to-face with the tornado, nature's most violent 9780190680282 windstorm. Striking the United States more than any other nation, tornadoes have 0190680288 consistently defied scientists' efforts to unlock their secrets. Meteorologists now Pub Date: 5/1/2020 $29.95 acknowledge that even the most powerful computers will likely never be able to Discount Code: 1A predict a tornado's precise path. Hardcover

312 Pages Similarly, tornadoes have repeatedly brought Americans to the outer limits of 36 Halftones theology, drawing them into the vortex of such mysteries as how to reconcile Religion / Religion & Science suffering with a loving God and whether there is underlying purpose or randomness in REL106000 the universe. In this groundbreaking history, Peter J. Thuesen captures the harrowing drama of tornadoes, as clergy, theologians, meteorologists, and ordinary citizens struggle to make sense of these death-dealing tempests. He argues that, in the tornado, Americans experience something that is at once culturally peculiar (the indigenous storm of the national imagination) and religiously primal (the sense of awe before an unpredictable and mysterious power). He also shows that, in an era of climate change, the weather raises the issue of society's complicity in natural disasters. In the whirlwind, Americans confront the question of their own destiny--how much is self-determined and how much is beyond human understanding or control. Contributor Bio

133 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Winston Churchill A Life in the News Richard Toye Key Selling Points • Traces Churchill's life in the news from cradle to grave, showing how tensions between tradition and novelty played into his constantly evolving media image • Drawing on a massive amount of media coverage of Churchill, much of it previously forgotten, and explores ordinary people's reactions to news coverage of Churchill • A tale of tight deadlines, off-the-record briefings and smoke-filled newsrooms, of wartime summits that were turned into stage-managed global media events • A story of rapidly changing technology, in which the telegraph, the telephone, radio, newsreel and (to a lesser extent) television all played their parts • Dealing with themes of censorship and propaganda, the book is of compelling relevance in the era of 'fake news' Summary Before Winston Churchill made history, he made news. To a great extent, the news 9780198803980 made him too. If it was his own efforts that made him a hero, it was the media that 0198803982 Pub Date: 6/29/2020 made him a celebrity - and it has been considerably responsible for perpetuating his $32.95 memory and shaping his reputation in the years since his death. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover Churchill first made his name via writing and journalism in the years before 1900, the 352 Pages money he earned helping to support his political career (at a time when MPs did not History / Modern get salaries). Journalistic activities were also important to him later, as he struggled in HIS037070 the interwar years to find the wherewithal to run and maintain Chartwell, his country house in Kent. Moreover, not only was journalism an important aspect of Churchill's political persona, but he himself was a news-obsessive throughout his life.

The story of Churchill and the news is, on one level, a tale of tight deadlines, off-the- record briefings and smoke-filled newsrooms, of wartime summits that were turned into stage-managed global media events, and of often tense interactions with journalists and powerful press proprietors, such as Lords Northcliffe, Rothermere, and Beaverbrook. Uncovering the symbiotic relationship between Churchill's political life and his media life, and the ways in which these were connected to his personal life, Richard Toye asks if there was a 'public Churchill' whose image was at odds with the behind-the-scenes reality, or whether, in fact, his private and public selves became seamlessly blended as he adjusted to living in the constant glare of the media spotlight.

On a wider level, this is also the story of a rapidly evolving media and news culture in the first half of the twentieth century, and of what the contemporary reporting of Churchill's life (including by himself) can tell us about the development of this culture, over a period spanning from the Victorian era through to the space age.

135 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Culture in the Third Reich Moritz Föllmer Key Selling Points • A book which addresses how culture was central to the Third Reich's self-understanding and image • Addresses the much-debated question of how Germany, a nation known for its cultural achievements, could go along with National Socialism • The growth of specialised literature on the arts, popular media and the politics of occupation in large parts of Europe warrants a new scholarly synthesis • Relating the everyday experience of people living under Nazism gives us a privileged insight into the question of why so many Germans enthusiastically embraced the regime and identified so closely with it Summary 'It's like being in a dream', commented Joseph Goebbels when he visited Nazi-occupied Paris in the summer of 1940. Dream and reality did indeed intermingle in the culture of the Third Reich, racialist fantasies and spectacular propaganda set-pieces contributing to this atmosphere alongside more benign cultural offerings 9780198814603 such as performances of classical music or popular film comedies. 0198814607 Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $25.95 A cultural palette that catered to the tastes of the majority helped encourage Discount Code: 1A acceptance of the regime. The Third Reich was therefore eager to associate itself with Hardcover comfortable middle-brow conventionality, while at the same time exploiting the latest 336 Pages trends that modern mass culture had to offer. And it was precisely because the Political Science / Political culture of the Nazi period accommodated such a range of different needs and Ideologies aspirations that it was so successfully able to legitimize war, imperial domination, and POL042030 destruction.

Moritz Föllmer turns the spotlight on this fundamental aspect of the Third Reich's successful cultural appeal in this ground-breaking new study, investigating what 'culture' meant for people in the years between 1933 and 1945: for convinced National Socialists at one end of the spectrum, via the legions of the apparently 'unpolitical', right through to anti-fascist activists, Jewish people, and other victims of the regime at the other end of the spectrum. Relating the everyday experience of people living under Nazism, he is able to give us a privileged insight into the question of why so many Germans enthusiastically embraced the regime and identified so closely with it.

For so many, reading novels and short stories enables them to escape and to 32 Illustrations spread their wings intellectually and emotionally. Literary Criticism / Books & Reading LIT007000 This book, written by an experienced teacher, scholar of women's writing, and literature festival director, draws on over 500 interviews with and questionnaires from women readers and writers. It describes how, where, and when women read fiction, and examines why stories and writers influence the way female readers understand and shape their own life stories. Taylor explores why women are the main buyers and readers of fiction, members of book clubs, attendees at literary festivals, and organisers of days out to fictional sites and writers' homes. The book analyses the special appeal and changing readership of the genres of romance, erotica, and crime. It also illuminates the reasons for women's abiding love of two favourite novels, Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre. Taylor offers a cornucopia of witty and wise women's voices, of both readers themselves and also writers such as Hilary Mantel, Helen Dunmore, Katie Fforde, and Sarah Dunant. The book helps us understand why--in Jackie Kay's words--'our lives are mapped by books.' Contributor Bio

"Taylor captures the complex delights of reading, while taking a clear-eyed look at the politics of how books are marketed, shared and enjoyed. Astute, engaging, inspiring, 144 Why Women Read Fiction will speak volumes to anyone who's ever experienced, at first hand, the power of novels and short stories to enrich and transform lives." -- Sarah Waters "This spirited cultural history and savvy analysis as to why, how and what women read is - well, a really good story!" -- Sarah Dunant

"In her generous and accessible book, Helen Taylor shows how the enterprise of reading draws us into an unseen collective, where the resources of the imagination are pooled; but she is not afraid to show the creative power of division and dissent. Though authoritative and well-researched, Why Women Read Fiction is far more than a study meant for academics and publishers - it is lively and absorbing, like a conversation with other women you wish you knew." -- Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies Marketing Plans • Pre-publication buzz mailing • Social media and online promotion • Academic outreach Table Of Contents

145 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Grandstanding The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk Justin Tosi, Brandon Warmke Key Selling Points • Explores the novel problem and dangers of moral grandstanding, or self-serving moral talk, in the internet age • Explains why and how people grandstand • Argues that grandstanding is a moral problem according to any of the major philosophical moral theories • Distinguishes moral grandstanding from virtue signaling • Shows how we can re-build our public discourse Summary We are all guilty of it. We call people terrible names in conversation or online. We vilify those with whom we disagree, and make bolder claims than we could defend. We want to be seen as taking the moral high ground not just to make a point, or move a debate forward, but to look a certain way--incensed, or compassionate, or 9780190900151 committed to a cause. We exaggerate. In other words, we grandstand. 0190900156 Pub Date: 5/1/2020 $19.95 Nowhere is this more evident than in public discourse today, and especially as it plays Discount Code: 1A out across the internet. To philosophers Justin Tosi and Brandon Warmke, who have Hardcover written extensively about moral grandstanding, such one-upmanship is not just 248 Pages annoying, but dangerous. As politics gets more and more polarized, people on both Philosophy / Ethics & Moral sides of the spectrum move further and further apart when they let grandstanding get Philosophy in the way of engaging one another. The pollution of our most urgent conversations PHI005000 with self-interest damages the very causes they are meant to forward.

Drawing from work in psychology, economics, and political science, and along with contemporary examples spanning the political spectrum, the authors dive deeply into why and how we grandstand. Using the analytic tools of psychology and moral philosophy, they explain what drives us to behave in this way, and what we stand to lose by taking it too far. Most importantly, they show how, by avoiding grandstanding, we can re-build a public square worth participating in. Contributor Bio

147 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Stranger Danger Family Values, Childhood, and the American Carceral State Paul M. Renfro Key Selling Points • Examines child abduction cases from cases in the 1970s to the AMBER Alert • Argues that the number of abduction of children by strangers annually was far lower (100-300 a year) than the epidemic figure (50,000) claimed by child safety crusaders • Narrates high-profile cases of missing and murdered children and shows how they helped generate a national panic over child safety • Connects the media frenzy over child abductions to the creation of new legal and cultural instruments designed to protect children and punish offenders Summary Beginning with Etan Patz's disappearance in Manhattan in 1979, a spate of high-profile cases of missing and murdered children stoked anxieties about the threats of child kidnapping and exploitation. Publicized through an emerging twenty- four-hour news cycle, these cases supplied evidence of what some commentators 9780190913984 dubbed "a national epidemic" of child abductions committed by "strangers." 0190913983 Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $34.95 In this book, Paul M. Renfro narrates how the bereaved parents of missing and slain Discount Code: 1A children turned their grief into a mass movement and, alongside journalists and Hardcover policymakers from both major political parties, propelled a moral panic. Leveraging 296 Pages larger cultural fears concerning familial and national decline, these child safety 25 hts crusaders warned Americans of a supposedly widespread and worsening child kidnapping threat, erroneously claiming that as many as fifty thousand American children fell victim to stranger abductions annually. The actual figure was (and remains) between one hundred and three hundred, and kidnappings perpetrated by family members and acquaintances occur far more frequently. Yet such exaggerated statistics-and the emotionally resonant images and narratives deployed behind them-led to the creation of new legal and cultural instruments designed to keep children safe and to punish the "strangers" who ostensibly wished them harm. Ranging from extensive child fingerprinting drives to the milk carton campaign, from the AMBER Alerts that periodically rattle Americans' smart phones to the nation's sprawling system of sex offender registration, these instruments have widened the reach of the carceral state and intensified surveillance practices focused on children.

Stranger Danger reveals the transformative power of this moral panic on American politics and culture, showing how ideas and images of endangered childhood helped build a more punitive American state. Contributor Bio

149 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Classical Indian Philosophy A history of philosophy without any gaps, Volume 5 Peter Adamson, Jonardon Ganeri Key Selling Points • The fifth volume in the most readable and entertaining history of philosophy • Short, lively conversational chapters with vivid and humorous examples • Assumes no prior knowledge--ideal for beginners and anyone who wants to read philosophy for pleasure • No gaps! Tells the whole story, not just the most famous bits • A self-standing volume--may be read independently of others in the series • Meets the demand for the growing interest in Asian philosophy in the West Summary Peter Adamson and Jonardon Ganeri present a lively introduction to one of the world's richest intellectual traditions: the philosophy of classical India. They begin with the earliest extant literature, the Vedas, and the explanatory works that these inspired, known as Upanisads. They also discuss other famous texts of classical Vedic culture, 9780198851769 especially the Mahabharata and its most notable section, the Bhagavad-Gita, 0198851766 alongside the rise of Buddhism and Jainism. In this opening section, Adamson and Pub Date: 6/1/2020 Ganeri emphasize the way that philosophy was practiced as a form of life in search of $32.95 Discount Code: 1A liberation from suffering. Hardcover

448 Pages Next, the pair move on to the explosion of philosophical speculation devoted to Philosophy / Buddhist foundational texts called 'sutras,' discussing such traditions as the logical and PHI028000 epistemological Nyaya school, the monism of Advaita Vedanta, and the spiritual Series: A History of Philosophy discipline of Yoga.

In the final section of the book, they chart further developments within Buddhism, highlighting Nagarjuna's radical critique of 'non-dependent' concepts and the no-self philosophy of mind found in authors like Dignaga, and within Jainism, focusing especially on its 'standpoint' epistemology. Unlike other introductions that cover the main schools and positions in classical Indian philosophy, Adamson and Ganeri's lively guide also pays attention to philosophical themes such as non-violence, political authority, and the status of women, while considering textual traditions typically left out of overviews of Indian thought, like the Carvaka school, Tantra, and aesthetic theory as well.

Adamson and Ganeri conclude by focusing on the much-debated question of whether Indian philosophy may have influenced ancient Greek philosophy and, from there, evaluate the impact that this area of philosophy had on later Western thought. Contributor Bio

152 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Aging Thoughtfully Conversations about Retirement, Romance, Wrinkles, and Regrets Martha C. Nussbaum, Saul Levmore Key Selling Points • Features dueling essays by leading figures in philosophy, law, and economics • Each essay employs a wealth of fictional and real world examples to address the topic of aging • Covers a wide range of questions that confront one facing the last third of life Summary We all age differently, but we can learn from shared experiences and insights. The conversations, or paired essays, in Aging Thoughtfully combine a philosopher's approach with a lawyer-economist's.

Here are ideas about when to retire, how to refashion social security to help the elderly poor, how to learn from King Lear -- who did not retire successfully -- and 9780190092313 whether to enjoy or criticize anti-aging cosmetic procedures. Some of the concerns 0190092319 are practical: philanthropic decisions, relations with one's children and grandchildren, Pub Date: 6/1/2020 the purchase of annuities, and how to provide for care in old age.

"Nussbaum and Levmore have written a sweet book on 'humanomics,' deploying economics, law, philosophy, and literature, to craft a multidisciplinary guide to aging. They show that the stories imagined for our lives and our societies give us purchase in a way that science or history cannot quite. Wise in age themselves, Nussbaum and Levmore know full well that tips handed over on a plate like canapés cannot be the point. Old and young need this book." -Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, UIC Distinguished Professor of Economics and of History Emerita, University of Illinois Chicago

"Aging Thoughtfully advances that goal, portraying the aging process as both universal and utterly idiosyncratic, and urging us to learn from each other and our shared history."--Los Angeles Review of Books

"Not just good but very good... Nussbaum and Levmore are as interested in asking the right questions as they are with notching the right answers."--Dwight Garner, New York Times

153 "These paired essays really are a conversation - thoughtful, penetrating, and hopeful - between Nussbaum (one of our wisest, smartest writers) and economist and lawyer Levmore."--Philadelphia Inquirer

"Nussbaum and Levmore provide important points for combating ageism while honoring the many changes that accompany aging. Aging Thoughtfully promises to provoke thoughtful discussion, especially among those at the cusp of older adulthood."--Christian Century Marketing Plans Table Of Contents

156 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Grief The Biography of a Holocaust Photograph David Shneer Key Selling Points • Makes the argument that the Holocaust needs to be seen as a human event • Reproduces never before published photographs of Nazi atrocities • Integrates in-depth interviews with contemporary photographers, the curators who display their work, and collectors who acquire their work to show how the photography market works Summary In January 1942, Soviet press photographers came upon a scene like none they had ever documented. That day, they took pictures of the first liberation of a German mass atrocity, where an estimated 7,000 Jews and others were executed at an anti-tank trench near Kerch on the Crimean peninsula. Dmitri Baltermants, a photojournalist working for the Soviet newspaper Izvestiia, took photos that day that would have a long life in shaping the image of Nazi genocide in and against the Soviet 9780190923815 Union. Presenting never before seen photographs, Grief: The Biography of a Holocaust 0190923814 Photograph shows how Baltermants used the image of a grieving woman to render Pub Date: 8/3/2020 $24.95 this gruesome mass atrocity into a transcendentally human tragedy. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover David Shneer tells the story of how that one photograph from the series Baltermants 272 Pages took that day in 1942 near Kerch became much more widely known than the others, 10 eventually being titled "Grief." Baltermants turned this shocking wartime atrocity Political Science / Genocide & War photograph into a Cold War era artistic meditation on the profundity and horror of war Crimes POL061000 that today can be found in Holocaust photo archives as well as in art museums and at art auctions. Although the journalist documented murdered Jews in other pictures he took at Kerch, in "Grief" there are likely no Jews among the dead or the living, save for the possible NKVD soldier securing the site. Nonetheless, Shneer shows that this photograph must be seen as an iconic Holocaust photograph. Unlike images of emaciated camp survivors or barbed wire fences, Shneer argues, the Holocaust by bullets in the Soviet Union make "Grief" a quintessential Soviet image of Nazi genocide.

Bringing the story right up to the present, we see HIS037030 how the internet and social media pillorying have made public shaming a ubiquitous phenomenon.

Using a multitude of both historical and contemporary examples, Ute Frevert shows how humiliation has been used as a tool over the last 250 years (and how it still is today), a story that reveals remarkable similarities across different times and places. And we see how the art of humiliation is in no way a thing of the past but has been re-invented for the 21st century, in a world where such humiliation is inflicted not from above by the political powers that be but by our social peers.

160 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Radio Right How a Band of Broadcasters Took on the Federal Government and Built the Modern Conservative Movement Paul Matzko Key Selling Points • Tells the story of the emergence of ultra-conservative talk radio in the 1960s • Reveals John F. Kennedy's direct involvement in a censorship campaign against conservative broadcasters • Provides context for current conservative activism and issues of bias and censorship in the media Summary In the past few years, trust in traditional media has reached new lows. Many Americans disbelieve what they hear from the "mainstream media," and have turned to getting information from media echo chambers which are reflective of a single party or ideology. In this book, Paul Matzko reveals that this is not the first such moment in modern American history. 9780190073220 0190073225 The Radio Right tells the story of the 1960s far Right, who were frustrated by what Pub Date: 5/1/2020 $34.95 they perceived to be liberal bias in the national media, particularly the media's Discount Code: 1A sycophantic relationship with the John F. Kennedy administration. These people turned Hardcover for news and commentary to a resurgent form of ultra-conservative mass media: 336 Pages radio. As networks shifted their resources to television, radio increasingly became the 25 preserve of cash-strapped, independent station owners who were willing to air the History / Modern hundreds of new right-wing programs that sprang up in the late 1950s and 1960s. By HIS037070 the early 1960s, millions of Americans listened each week to conservative broadcasters, the most prominent of which were clergy or lay broadcasters from across the religious spectrum, including Carl McIntire, Billy James Hargis, and Clarence Manion. Though divided by theology, these speakers were united by their distrust of political and theological liberalism and their antipathy towards JFK. The political influence of the new Radio Right quickly became apparent as the broadcasters attacked the Kennedy administration's policies and encouraged grassroots conservative activism on a massive scale.

Matzko relates how, by 1963, Kennedy was so alarmed by the rise of the Radio Right that he ordered the Internal Revenue Service and Federal Communications Commission to target conservative broadcasters with tax audits and enhanced regulatory scrutiny via the Fairness Doctrine. Right-wing broadcasters lost hundreds of stations and millions of listeners. Not until the deregulation of the airwaves under the Carter and Reagan administrations would right-wing radio regain its former prominence. The Radio Right provides the essential pre-history for the last four decades of conservative activism, as well as the historical context for current issues of political bias and censorship in the media.

Roller Key Selling Points • First study of the Mithridatic kingdom in English • Explores the kingdom of Pontos through a wide geographical and historical range • Examines the geneaology of the royal dynasties • Analyzes the kingdom's relationship with the Roman Republic, in peace and in war Summary What is commonly called the kingdom of Pontos flourished for over two hundred years in the coastal regions of the Black Sea. At its peak in the early first century BC, it included much of the southern, eastern, and northern littoral, becoming one of the most important Hellenistic dynasties not founded by a successor of Alexander the Great. It also posed one of the greatest challenges to Roman imperial expansion in the east. Not until 63 BC, after many violent clashes, was Rome able to subjugate the kingdom and its last charismatic ruler Mithridates VI. 9780190887841 0190887842 This book provides a general history of this important kingdom from its mythic origins Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $29.95 in Greek literature (e.g., Jason and the Golden Fleece) to its entanglements with the Discount Code: 1A late republic of Rome.

Previous histories of this era are varied in their focus and quality. Needless to say, much of the interest has been directed to the final and most famous member of the dynasty, Mithridates VI (120-63 BC); this book explores the entire kingdom and its rich history.

168 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Black Prince of Florence The Spectacular Life and Treacherous World of Alessandro de' Medici Catherine Fletcher Key Selling Points • The first-ever biography of Alessandro de' Medici, arguably the first black head of state • Draws on extensive archival research of first-hand sources • An accessible and dramatic retelling of Renaissance politics and rivalry Summary Born to a dark-skinned maid and Lorenzo II de' Medici, the illegitimate Alessandro was groomed for power. In 1532, at the age of nineteen, backed by the Holy Roman Emperor--his future father-in-law--and the Pope, he became Duke of Florence, facing down family rivals and oligarchs and inheriting the grandest dynasty of the Italian Renaissance. Catherine Fletcher's The Black Prince of Florence is the first complete account of the real-life counterpart to Machiavelli's Prince.

9780190092146 After ruling for a turbulent six years, Alessandro was murdered in 1537 during a 0190092149 late-night tryst arranged by a scheming cousin. As Fletcher puts it, he was Pub Date: 6/1/2020 $18.95 assassinated twice: "first with a sword, then with a pen." Following his death, Discount Code: 03 Alessandro's reign was dismissed by his enemies--of which every Medici prince had Paperback many, and Alessandro more than his share--and his death painted as tyrannicide. It 336 Pages was in the years and centuries that followed that his racial origin became a focus, History / Europe first by those seeking to emphasize his "savagery" and thus to justify his murder, and HIS010000 later to argue his case as the first ruler of color in the Western world. In 1931, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, founder of the famous collection of African history in Harlem, wrote an article about Alessandro in the magazine The Crisis, then edited by W.E.B. Du Bois, calling him the "Negro Medici."

Defined by intrigue, opulence, sexual conquest, and an endless struggle to retain power, Alessandro's life and afterlife reveal how racial identity has played out over the centuries, and to what degree it remains in the eye of the beholder. In this captivating biography of an intriguing and forgotten figure, Fletcher does full justice to his remarkable story, unraveling centuries-old mysteries, exposing forgeries, and bringing to life the epic personalities--artists, popes, queens, and pimps--of one of the most colorful periods in history. Contributor Bio

Catherine Fletcher is a historian of Renaissance and early modern Europe. Her first book, The Divorce of Henry VIII, brought to life the Papal court at the time of the Tudors. She consulted on the Golden-Globe-winning TV miniseries Wolf Hall and regularly broadcasts for BBC radio. She is Associate Professor in History and Heritage at Swansea University and has held research fellowships in London, Florence, and Rome. Quotes

"[O]ffers an engrossing envoi that contextualizes this prince's little-known legacy....Sure-footed and novelistic....[O]ffers fresh research while also soliciting a broad popular readership."--John Gagné, The Historian "[A]n enviably accessible and entertaining prose style...Recommended."--CHOICE "[A] gripping narrative...It is impossible to finish this medieval melodrama without thinking that it would make a riveting series for an enterprising TV producer."--The Economist

"Fletcher's first book, The Divorce of Henry VIII, was a study of Vatican intrigue that 169 demonstrated her ability to use rarely accessed Italian archives to create a gripping and original account of a well-worn subject. Here she has used the same skills to even greater effect, creating a compelling portrait of a forgotten man--himself both brutal and brutalised--once at the very heart of the Renaissance world order. Her narrative follows the extraordinary arc of Alessandro's life closely, but also uses it to illuminate the bloody opulence of Renaissance Italian politics in all its squalid, operatic glory." --The Financial Times

"Nothing in sixteenth century history is more astonishing to our era than the career of Alessandro de' Medici. His story, told by an exact and fluent historian, challenges our preconceptions. Catherine Fletcher's eye for the skewering detail makes the citizens of renaissance Florence live again: courtesans and cardinals, artists and assassins." --Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall

"Fletcher displays an excellent comprehension of the Medici family and Renaissance political maneuvering. The connections between ruling and royal families, intermarriages, feuds, and assassinations can boggle the mind, but she carefully separates friends from enemies... Medici fans will expand their awareness of the family's broad reach, and Renaissance students will discover Machiavelli's models for The Prince." --Kirkus

"This is an accomplished and original account of an extraordinary and much misrepresented episode in Italian history. Catherine Fletcher provides a newly sympathetic portrait of a monarch whose rule in Florence was even more unlikely than Henry VII's presence on the English throne." --Diarmaid MacCulloch, author of The Reformation "In this revelatory work, Fletcher rescues [Allessandro de' Medici] from the well-known caricature his opponents manufactured while revealing his strengths and weaknesses as an often populist Medici prince...Throughout this compelling narrative, de' Medici's unlikely story and extraordinary life finally feel revealed as Fletcher gives him a welcome new complex legacy." --Publishers Weekly, Fall 2016 "Top Ten Picks for History"

"Fletcher paints a perceptive picture of mixed loyalties, jealousy and duplicity... The most revealing arguments of the book regard Alessandro's ethnicity and what it did, or more importantly did not, signify to contemporaries. Fletcher's book is extensively researched and, like the best stories, a compelling read." --Historical Novels Review "A scintillating book that glisters and gleams with stabbings, poisonings, adultery and intrigue-and a startling reminder of how visceral and dangerous Renaissance Florence was. The drama of events is perfectly complemented by careful scholarship and lucid writing. This is everything a historical biography should be." --Ian Mortimer, author of The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England

"Packed with intrigue...Fletcher describes with cool menace the plotting and politicking that dominated Alessandro's rule... brought splendidly to life in this excellent book." --Dan Jones, Sunday Times (UK)

"Like a detective, Fletcher interrogates her witnesses...But it is among the detailed records of Alessandro's wardrobe-keepers that she finds her treasure...These lend her narrative a sensuous vividity." --Frances Wilson, Sunday Telegraph (UK)

"As gripping as Othello... Fletcher's approach is scholarly yet dramatic, immersed in Renaissance glamour." --The Spectator

"Bold, Breathless and full of suspense." -- Daisy Dunn, The Times (UK) "Catherine Fletcher is entirely at ease amid the Renaissance world and its archival resources, and her details, particularly those involving dress, feasting, and ceremonial, are generously deployed in the work of recovering a neglected episode of Florentine170 history." --Literary Review "Fletcher recounts [Alessandro de' Medici's] life, and even more so the times, in clear and often vivid prose with an eye for interesting detail." --Los Angeles Review of Books

"The Black Prince is a dark and murderous tale that is exceptionally well-told. It leaves the reader rushing from page to page wanting more."--New York Journal of Books

"Fletcher's research is impeccable... and her attention to detail proves excellent."-- Washington Free Beacon

"An absorbing tale of betrayal and deadly political alliances during the Renaissance."-- Washington Independent Review of Books

"Alessandro de' Medici's life in sixteenth-century Italy speaks volumes about the emerging category of race. In the time since his death, Alessandro has been accorded a dual identity: as the black tyrant who put a violent end to the republican liberty of Florence and as the first person of black African ancestry to rule a major city-state during the Renaissance. Both stories settle on race as definitive of Alessandro's historical significance, notwithstanding the fact that a clear definition of race cannot be had." -- Renaissance Quarterly

"With meticulous attention to detail, in The Black Prince of Florence Catherine Fletcher eloquently sets the life of Alessandro against the backdrop of papal power and crisis of dynastic legitimacy."--Renaissance and Reformation

In 2000, roughly 20 million Indians had access to the internet. In 2017, 465 million were online, with three new people logging on for the first time every second. By 2020, the country's online community is projected to exceed 700 million; more than a billion Indians are expected to be online by 2025. While users in Western countries progressed steadily over the years from dial-up 9780190092122 0190092122 connections on PCs, to broadband access, wireless, and now 4G data on phones, in Pub Date: 7/1/2020 India most have leapfrogged straight into the digital world with smartphones and $19.95 affordable data plans. Discount Code: 1A Paperback What effect is all this having on the ancient and traditionally rural culture dominated 240 Pages by family and local customs? Ravi Agrawal explores that very question, seeking out History / Social History HIS054000 the nexuses of change and those swept up in them. Smartphones now influence arranged marriages, create an extension of one's social identity that moves beyond caste, bring within reach educational opportunities undreamed of a generation ago, bridge linguistic gaps, provide outlets and opportunities for start-ups, and are helping to move the entire Indian economy from cash- to credit-based. The effects are everywhere, and they are transformative.

While they offer immediate access to so much for so many, smartphones are creating no utopia in a culture still struggling with poverty, illiteracy, corruption, gender inequality, and income disparity. Internet access has provided greater opportunities to women and altered how India's outcasts interact with the world; it has also made pornography readily available and provided an echo chamber for rumor and prejudice. Under a government determined to control content, it has created tensions. And in a climate of hypernationalism, it has fomented violence and even terrorism.

The influence of smartphones on the world's largest democracy is pervasive and irreversible, disruptive and creative, unsettling and compelling.

Agrawal was born in London, grew up in Kolkata, and attended college at Harvard. He splits his time between Brooklyn and Washington, DC. Quotes

"This is, quite simply, the best book about India today. It recounts the hard data but also captures the mood of a rising, sprawling, dynamic society. It is centered on the smartphone, which is indeed transforming the world's largest democracy. But the 173 nature of that transformation is complex and nuanced. And Agrawal describes this reality with a novelist's eye and pen. A triumph." --Fareed Zakaria, CNN host and author of The Post-American World "The smartphone may well rank among fire and electricity in terms of sheer impact on humanity. And as Ravi Agrawal argues in this book, there are few places in the world that have experienced that revolution as forcefully as India. Like no one else, Agrawal highlights just how far India has come with the smartphone, and how much further it can go. A read as entertaining as it is informative." --Ian Bremmer, president and founder, Eurasia Group "The automobile unleashed American freedom and energy. The smartphone is doing the same for India. To understand why India will succeed, read this fascinating book. Modern India leaps out of its pages." --Kishore Mahbubani, Professor in the Practice of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore "Agrawal's account is illuminating, eye-opening, and, like the phones it describes, smart. An engaging read!" --Shashi Tharoor, Indian MP from Thiruvananthapuram and author of Inglorious Empire "India Connected is a must-read for everyone who is interested in contemporary India." --Amitav Ghosh, author of Sea of Poppies and The Great Derangement "An engaging storyteller, Ravi Agrawal charts the extraordinary changes and the new hopes cheap smartphones and digital technology are bringing to the day-to-day lives of ordinary Indians." --Mira Kamdar, author of Mobita's Tattoos and India in the 21st Century "The story of how India has gotten wired is one of the most important in the world, and you'll find no better guide than Ravi Agrawal. He's dug in to give us a story of optimism, intrigue, and profound change. I read it straight through and I suspect you will too." --Nicholas Thompson, Editor-in-Chief of Wired "Timely and absorbing... What makes this book so hard to put down is the way Agrawal skilfully weaves together the tales of ordinary Indian lives being transformed by digital technology."--Financial Times

"[A] smart, sympathetic and highly readable account."--Oliver Balch, The New Statesman

"A convincing case of how smartphones are creating a brand-new social infrastructure that did not previously exist in India."--Los Angeles Review of Books "Superb... Agrawal... has the journalist's knack of finding fascinating stories." --Literary Review

"The stories in India Connected are timeless, and will age well into nice snapshots of history."--India Today

175 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Mass The quest to understand matter from Greek atoms to quantum fields Jim Baggott Key Selling Points • Tells the story of our evolving understanding of the nature of matter based on accepted science • Explores the unanswered questions of atomic physics and quantum theory, and discusses the disputed theories of the field • Covers the key theories throughout history about mass, from the early Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus, to Galileo and Newton, to cutting edge theories today Summary Everything around us is made of 'stuff', from planets, to books, to our own bodies. Whatever it is, we call it matter or material substance. It is solid; it has mass. But what is matter, exactly? We are taught in school that matter is not continuous, but discrete. As a few of the philosophers of ancient Greece once speculated, nearly two

We imagine that we should eventually Discount Code: 03 Paperback run up against some kind of ultimately fundamental, indivisible type of stuff, the building blocks from which everything in the Universe is made. The English physicist 368 Pages No illustrations Paul Dirac called this 'the dream of philosophers'. But science has discovered that the foundations of our Universe are not as solid or as certain and dependable as we might have once imagined. They are instead built from ghosts and phantoms, of a peculiar quantum kind. And, at some point on this exciting journey of scientific discovery, we lost our grip on the reassuringly familiar concept of mass.

How did this happen? How did the answers to our questions become so complicated and so difficult to comprehend? In Mass Jim Baggott explains how we come to find ourselves here, confronted by a very different understanding of the nature of matter, the origin of mass, and its implications for our understanding of the material world. Ranging from the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus, and their theories of atoms and void, to the development of quantum field theory and the discovery of a Higgs boson-like particle, he explores our changing understanding of the nature of matter, and the fundamental related concept of mass.

179 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog HATE Why We Should Resist it With Free Speech, Not Censorship Nadine Strossen Key Selling Points • Clearly explains the importance of continuing to protect the subcategory of "hate speech" • Shows that laws restricting such speech do not effectively reduce the feared harms of "hate speech" • Shows that non-censorial countermeasures, including the kind of robust "counterspeech" that has been increasingly vigorous throughout the U.S., is more effective than censorship in advancing the causes of equality and societal harmony Summary The updated paperback edition of HATE dispels misunderstandings plaguing our perennial debates about "hate speech vs. free speech," showing that the First Amendment approach promotes free speech and democracy, equality, and societal harmony. As "hate speech" has no generally accepted definition, we hear many 9780190089009 incorrect assumptions that it is either absolutely unprotected or absolutely protected 0190089008 from censorship. Rather, U.S. law allows government to punish hateful or Pub Date: 3/2/2020 discriminatory speech in specific contexts when it directly causes imminent serious $16.95 Discount Code: 03 harm.

However, there has been little LAW018000 analysis of whether censorship effectively counters the feared injuries.

Nadine Strossen is John Marshall Harlan II Professor of Law at New York Law School and the first woman national President of the American Civil Liberties Union, where she served from 1991 through 2008. A frequent speaker on constitutional and civil liberties issues, her media appearances include 60 Minutes, CBS Sunday Morning, Today, Good Morning America, The Daily Show, and other news programs on CNN, C-SPAN, Fox, Al-Jazeera, and in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Her op-eds have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, and USA Today, among others. Quotes

"Nadine Strossen speaks power to Hate." --Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair "I have said it before about books, but this time I couldn't be more emphatic about it: everyone should read this book." --Lucy Kogler, LitHub "While other countries provide significant protection for free expression, the United States provides a significantly elevated level of protection, particularly for hateful speech. Nadine Strossen's insightful and eminently readable study on why we protect such speech and why we should continue to do so is an all-too-rare example of first-rate legal scholarship that the public at large can learn from and savor reading." -- Floyd Abrams, Senior Counsel, Cahill Gordon & Reindel; Adjunct Professor, NYU Law School; Author, The Soul of the First Amendment "Strossen has accomplished something remarkable in this slim book - she has ventured into a complex and heavily examined field and produced a book that is original, insightful, and clear-headed. My guess: this book will become the go-to work in the field." -- Ronald Collins, Harold S. Shefelman Scholar at the UW School of Law, 180 Publisher of First Amendment News "One of life's hardest tasks is to tell natural allies they are wrong. Nadine Strossen is clear in a time of confusion, consistent in an era of hypocrisy, and brave in an environment of intimidation. Her book is a fitting capstone to a career in defense of our civil liberties." -- Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr., President of Purdue University, former Indiana Governor

"In this work, Strossen stakes out a bold and important claim about how best to protect both equality and freedom. Anyone who wants to advocate for 'hate speech' laws and policies in the future now has the `Devil's Advocate' right at hand. No one can address this issue in the foreseeable future without taking on this formidable and compelling analysis. It lays the foundation for all debates on this issue for years to come." -- Geoffrey Stone, Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law at University of Chicago Law School "Nadine Strossen is one of the great civil libertarians of our day. This book provides a powerful and subtle defense of free speech. Don't miss it!" -- Dr. Cornel West, Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy, Harvard Divinity School "As Nadine Strossen writes eloquently in her new book, HATE: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship, a democracy succeeds only when the rights, thoughts, and aspirations of all its citizens are respected and given voice, and the citizenry believes that this is true, regardless of viewpoint." -- Maryanne Wolf, John DiBiaggio Professor of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University and author of Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital Culture "In this impressive work, Strossen offers an overarching perspective on the challenges of reconciling a concept of "hate speech" with a broad commitment to freedom of expression. This is an original, insightful, and compelling analysis, both timely and enduring, that has academic, constitutional, and international importance." -- Robert Zimmer, University of Chicago President "Indeed, in yet a third new book in this area, Hate, former American Civil Liberties Union President Nadine Strossen points out that federal courts during the civil-rights era "refused to halt speeches and demonstrations by civil-rights advocates because of threatened and even actual violence by opponents of their cause." - Carlin Romano, The Chronicle

"As Strossen shows in her important and comprehensive (yet brilliantly concise) new book, HATE, fighting hatred and bigotry by banning hate speech is like fighting global warming by banning thermometers. Even on its own terms, it does not work." - Jonathan Rauch, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution

"She advocates noncensorial strategies of counterspeech, education and even developing a thicker skin to combat speech that we may not like but that should be protected." - The Harvard Law Bulletin "HATE tackles the many misunderstandings that fuel and confuse current political life... There is a lot to like about this book." - David Cowan, The Global Legal Post "A principled and persuasive analysis of how hate speech prohibitions are threatening free speech, written eloquently and comprehensibly. A powerful contribution, not only to First Amendment thinking but to other legal systems where expression rights are less well protected." - Geoffrey Robertson QC, Doughty Street Chambers "A well-informed, strongly argued perspective on a hot topic." - Kirkus Reviews

"Nadine Strossen makes these arguments better than anyone." - Jonathan Marks, The Wall Street Journal

"In HATE [Strossen]... marshals a vast amount of legal, historical, social science, psychological, and transnational research in service of her premise that all ideas, no matter how hateful, deserve First Amendment protection." - Stephen Rohde, Los Angeles Review of Books

"Nadine is one of America's most important defenders of liberal values and free speech."181 - David Boaz, Executive Vice President, Cato Institute "...[I]t is welcome to hear voices like Strossen's making themselves heard and reminding us why the urge to limit speech in the name of protection ultimately offers no protection at all." - Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of Index on Censorship, Spiked

"[Nadine Strossen's new book] lays out a compelling argument against policies that try to restrict what individuals are allowed to say." - Nick Gillespie, Reason Magazine

"What our students need... is a solid grounding in fundamental First Amendment principles. Strossen's book is an excellent place to start." - Carolyn Schurr Levin, College Media Review

"Nadine Strossen remains the powerful voice of a dangerously jeopardised tradition. She understands the social problems associated with hate speech but explains why censorship, which may be a facile solution, is neither politically defensible nor socially effective in the age of the electronic revolution. This book is for those who think they already know all the free speech arguments." - Eric Heinze, Queen Mary University of London "Engagement, not censorship is the answer... [the world] needs to hear Strossen's cautionary tale of how the practice and application of hate speech laws widely undermine the good intentions, ultimately leading to frustration over legless political correctness or at worst, paving a path from liberal democracy towards totalitarianism." - Chloë M. Gilgan, University of York "Strossen has written a book that should be widely read." - John Samples, Economic Blogs "Professor Strossen gives an impassioned and articulate argument for why the best medicine for offensive speech is more speech... [P]erhaps the best remedy for hate speech is not restriction of offensive speech but rather a more robust debate, requiring that all people of good will exercise their right not to remain silent." - Lawrence Siry, Collaborateur de Recherche, University of Luxembourg "Strossen has accomplished something remarkable in this slim book - she has ventured into a complex and heavily examined field and produced a book that is original, insightful, and clear-headed. My guess: this book will become the go-to work in the field." - Ronald Collins, Harold S. Shefelman Scholar at the UW School of Law, Publisher of First Amendment News "As Nadine Strossen writes eloquently in her new book, HATE, a democracy succeeds only when the rights, thoughts, and aspirations of all its citizens are respected and given voice, and the citizenry believes that this is true, regardless of viewpoint." - Maryanne Wolf, John DiBiaggio Professor of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University and author of Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital Culture Marketing Plans Table Of Contents

183 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Let the People See Elliott J. Gorn Key Selling Points • A deep investigation of the Emmett Till story using new evidence and a broadened historical context • Delves into the crime, the trial, and the aftermath, chronicling how the story has been told and retold over time • Examines shifting American attitudes towards race since 1955, presenting a timely look at the interaction between race and the media Summary While visiting family in Mississippi in August 1955, Emmett Till allegedly whistled at a white woman working behind the counter of a crossroads country store. Her husband and brother-in-law kidnapped the fourteen-year-old Chicago kid in the middle of the night and tortured, beat, and shot him. Three days later, his body rose from the Tallahatchie River, a cotton gin fan tied around his neck with barbed wire.

9780190092191 019009219X Confronting her son's nightmarishly disfigured face, Mamie Till-Mobley decided that Pub Date: 8/1/2020 his funeral in Chicago would be open-casket. "Let the people see what they did to my $19.95 boy." The South Side church where her son's body lay in state kept its doors open Discount Code: 03 Paperback day and night. More than one hundred thousand people came and saw his face. Millions more stared at the photographs of it published in the African-American press, 392 Pages especially Jet magazine and the Chicago Defender. 6 b/w images

The pictures galvanized the black community. Journalists and activists drove down to the Mississippi Delta, and risked their lives interviewing townsfolk, encouraging witnesses, spiriting those in danger out of the region, and above all keeping the news cycle turning. Less than a month after Till's murder, despite strong evidence, a fair-minded judge, and prosecutors eager for a conviction, an all-white jury found Till's killers not guilty.

For black Americans, the Till lynching and acquittal was a defining moment. Muhammad Ali, Rosa Parks, Anne Moody, John Lewis, and countless others later said that it changed their lives. They were "the Emmett Till generation," and they would help lead the greatest mass movement in twentieth-century America. His story haunts us still, its meanings blurring and shifting with time. Documentaries, histories, memoirs, and oral testimony have revealed new facts. In 2005, fifty years after the lynching, his murderers long dead, the FBI reopened the Till case. They reopened it again the summer of 2018, after new revelations came to light.

Building on all the material, old and new, Elliott J. Gorn offers the most complete and immersive account of Emmett Till's story. Let the People See also probes its enduring truths, truths we confront with each fresh spasm of racial violence. Till is more with us today than at any time since 1955, his name invoked whenever another young black man falls victim. His face remains the face of racism, and, as Gorn shows us in this haunting and definitive account, we cannot turn away from it. Contributor Bio

Elliott J. Gorn is Joseph A. Gagliano Chair in American Urban History at Loyola University Chicago. He is author of several books, including Dillinger's Wild Ride: The Year that Made America's Public Enemy Number One. Quotes

"This perceptive take on a signal event from the civil rights movement deserves a wide readership."- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review 184 "As racially motivated violence and death still haunt American communities, 'Let the People See' reminds us all both how far the country has come and how much farther it has to go."- Foreword Reviews, Five Star Review "Let the People See is a timely book about the fragility of collective memory and about the courage and persistence of journalists, particularly black journalists, some of whom risked their lives in 1955 to get the facts of the Till story before the public. Most of all though, [the book] is a vivid reminder of just how easy it is for people not to see things they'd rather not see."- Maureen Corrigan, NPR/WHYY's Fresh Air Marketing Plans Table Of Contents

185 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Orca How We Came to Know and Love the Ocean's Greatest Predator Jason M. Colby Key Selling Points • Explains how the capture and display of orcas helped transform the environmental politics of the Pacific Northwest and beyond • Shows how the captivity industry, now criticized as the enemy of orcas, helped generate the public affection and scientific study of killer whales and other cetaceans • Discusses the ongoing debate over dolphin/whale captivity and the future of SeaWorld and the oceanarium industry • Author has unusual access to sources, including interviews of Ted Griffin-the first person to swim with and display a killer whale Summary Since the release of the documentary Blackfish in 2013, millions around the world have focused on the plight of the orca, the most profitable and controversial display animal in history. Yet, until now, no historical account has explained how we came to 9780190088361 care about killer whales in the first place. 0190088362 Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $21.95 Drawing on interviews, official records, private archives, and his own family history, Discount Code: 03 Jason M. Colby tells the exhilarating and often heartbreaking story of how people Paperback came to love the ocean's greatest predator. Historically reviled as dangerous pests, 408 Pages killer whales were dying by the hundreds, even thousands, by the 1950s--the victims 40 hts of whalers, fishermen, and even the US military. In the Pacific Northwest, fishermen shot them, scientists harpooned them, and the Canadian government mounted a machine gun to eliminate them. But that all changed in 1965, when Seattle entrepreneur Ted Griffin became the first person to swim and perform with a captive killer whale. The show proved wildly popular, and he began capturing and selling others, including Sea World's first Shamu.

Over the following decade, live display transformed views of Orcinus orca. The public embraced killer whales as charismatic and friendly, while scientists enjoyed their first access to live orcas. In the Pacific Northwest, these captive encounters reshaped regional values and helped drive environmental activism, including Greenpeace's anti-whaling campaigns. Yet even as Northwesterners taught the world to love whales, they came to oppose their captivity and to fight for the freedom of a marine predator that had become a regional icon.

This is the definitive history of how the feared and despised "killer" became the beloved "orca"--and what that has meant for our relationship with the ocean and its creatures. Contributor Bio

Jason M. Colby is associate professor of environmental and international history at the University of Victoria. Born in Victoria, British Columbia, and raised in the Seattle area, he worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska and Washington State. He is the author of The Business of Empire: United Fruit, Race, and US Expansion in Central America. Quotes

"Detailed, determinedly even-handed and often fascinating."--Lucy Atkins, Times Literary Supplement "Colby is an easy and engaging writer... He utilizes extensive interviews he conducted with many of the most colorful and important people involved in the story: those who captured whales, the promoters, fishermen, scientists, and the citizens and politicians 186 who became involved in the fight to halt the capture." -- Carmel Finley, Journal of American History "This is an affecting book, personal and political all at once, and written by a scholar who has worked hard to recover and relay painful tales of the wild orcas that encountered humans and the humans that did the encountering. Nearly all those meetings began in panic and pain, most of it the whales', though some of it that of the men who came to believe they were doing the wrong thing wresting these breathtaking animals from their world, to deliver them to our own--which has been changed by the resulting episodes of captivity and captivation." -- D. Graham Burnett, author of The Sounding of the Whale "This fascinating history reveals what happens when humans became captivated by captive orcas. Colby poignantly locates the very origins of conservation in the tense, tender, and tragic relationships between humans and cetaceans. This finely textured social history of the Pacific Northwest opens up the story of how 'killer whales'--once cast as deadly pests--became popular attractions and emotional, intelligent 'orcas'." -- Daniel Bender, author of The Animal Game: Searching for Wildness at the American Zoo "With Orca, Jason Colby takes readers on a riveting journey. In a matter of decades, the Pacific Northwest's killer whales traveled from despised vermin to regional sweethearts. Their emotional passage revealed the true wildcard of wildlife management: navigating the swirling opinions of human populations. A timely book, Orca brings history to bear on a fraught relationship between two apex predators. Colby traces the rise in human affection for the whales but also the emergence of a cruel realization as audiences cheered captives' performances in aquariums across the globe. Love and fandom could kill and maim as efficiently as fear and contempt. In the end, it's unclear whether orcas benefited from the connection they forged with people." -- Jon Coleman, author of Vicious: Wolves and Men in America "Killer whales, or orcas--the apex marine predators--were once widely feared as dangerous vermin and were shot on sight. Yet over the past fifty years, a sea change in attitudes towards this remarkable animal took place, and today the species is a revered and cherished global icon of the wild marine environment. In this compelling book, Jason Colby chronicles this transition in our relationship with the killer whale and tells an enthralling story complete with drama and excitement. It is sure to be an important addition to the libraries of natural historians and whale enthusiasts alike." -- John Ford, Pacific Biological Station, Fisheries and Oceans Canada "Colby shines a light on how little we understand of these magnificent creatures. His book gives a glimpse into a mysterious yet strangely familiar world, brought to life in a story that's tragic, heartbreaking, and finally hopeful."--Foreword Reviews (starred review)

"A good choice for serious fans of Pacific Northwest and marine history."--Kirkus "A revealing look at how the human view of orcas has changed... Colby persuasively contends that, despite legitimate concerns popularized by the 2013 documentary Blackfish, about the effects of captivity on orcas, the animals avoided extinction because their presence in accessible public venues enabled people to relate to them... Colby has produced an originally argued and accessibly jargon-free consideration of a hot-button animal conservation issue."--Publishers Weekly

"Killer whales, also known as orcas, are idolized, loved, and even revered. Such sentiments, however, have not always been held toward this species, as historian Jason Colby reveals in his new book, Orca... Colby does an excellent job of framing these events within the larger environmental movement of the time, as well as placing them within the context of the nationalism that was spreading on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border at the time." --Robin W. Baird, Science "[Told] with the depth and passion the topic deserves."--Lynda V. Mapes, Seattle Times

"Immersive and dramatic... Colby demonstrates the speed at which societal attitudes can also shift the baseline of our expectations. In this age of extinction, with ongoing changes187 in ocean chemistry and physics, it is the potential for a sea change in public attitude that presents hope."--Sascha Hooker, Nature "An exceptional book and a significant contribution to the conservation of killer whales, Orca brings together a wealth of information and tells the stories of the captive whales and the people who pursued, cared for, and studied them - and ultimately fought for their freedom... It instantly takes its place as one of the best books ever written about the interactions between killer whales and settler society on the coastlines of B.C. and Washington State. It should be read by every whale enthusiast, naturalist, fishing guide, graduate student, researcher, marine resource manager, and politician on the Pacific coast."--Anna Hall, Ormsby Review

"It is a story not just of the orca business, but also of the evolution of Americans' relationship to the oceans and marine life-the growth of marine parks parallels the shift from an extractive approach to the ocean, as mainly a source of fish, to a recreational one. It intersects, too, with the birth of the modern environmental movement in the 1960s and 70s."--Rachel Riederer, New Republic

"[Colby] has produced an exhaustive, nuanced, essential account of the captures, unearthing a forgotten bit of Northwest history."--Nancy Macdonald, Literary Review of Canada

"A riveting behind-the-scenes 'tell all,' told from the perspectives of the individuals that witnessed this important period in our history. This book is a historical account of how an industry formed, nearly destroying the very commodity on which it depended, coupled with an infusion of science that helped us to better understand killer whale life history. Colby retells a tragic yet sobering story of the good and dark sides of the delicate relationship between humans and other sentient beings."--Eric L. Walters, Journal of Mammalogy

Famous for his conquests in Italy and North Africa, and for the creation of spectacular monuments such as the Hagia Sophia, his reign was also marked by global religious conflict within 9780197500538 0197500536 the Christian world and an outbreak of plague that some have compared to the Black Pub Date: 5/1/2020 Death. For many historians, Justinian is far more than an anomaly of Byzantine $19.95 ambition between the eras of Attila and Muhammad; he is the causal link that binds Discount Code: 03 Paperback together the two moments of Roman imperial collapse. Determined to reverse the losses Rome suffered in the fifth century, Justinian unleashed an aggressive campaign 408 Pages in the face of tremendous adversity, not least the plague. This book offers a History / Ancient HIS002020 fundamentally new interpretation of his conquest policy and its overall strategic effect, Series: Ancient Warfare and which has often been seen as imperial overreach, making the regime vulnerable to Civilization the Islamic takeover of its richest territories in the seventh century and thus transforming the great Roman Empire of Late Antiquity into its pale shadow of the Middle Ages.

In Rome Resurgent, historian Peter Heather draws heavily upon contemporary sources, including the writings of Procopius, the principal historian of the time, while also recasting that author's narrative by bringing together new perspectives based on a wide array of additional source material. A huge body of archaeological evidence has become available for the sixth century, providing entirely new means of understanding the overall effects of Justinian's war policies. Building on his own distinguished work on the Vandals, Goths, and Persians, Heather also gives much fuller coverage to Rome's enemies than Procopius ever did. A briskly paced narrative by a master historian, Rome Resurgent promises to introduce readers to this captivating and unjustly overlooked chapter in ancient warfare. Contributor Bio

Peter Heather is Professor of Medieval History at King's College London, and author of The Fall of the Roman Empire, Empires and Barbarians, and The Restoration of Rome. Quotes

"Bold, absorbing and thoroughly compelling . . . Combining a wealth of literary material, a flare for swashbuckling narrative, and the most up-to-date archaeological discoveries available, Heather endeavours to achieve a critical realignment of the traditional and often contradictory views of Justinian's attempt to reconstitute the West at the point of a sword."- BRYN MAWR CLASSICAL REVIEW "This book does full justice to 'the extraordinary historical phenomenon which is Justinian.' It combines a refreshingly sane view of the sixth-century East Roman Empire which Justinian came to rule, of the western world on which he impinged in a series of memorable military adventures, and of the overall significance of his 190 achievements. Written with a sharp sense of the unpredictable in war and politics, it catches, as few other books have done, the breathtaking quality of the reign of the last truly great emperor of Rome."--Peter Brown, author of Ransom of the Soul and Through the Eye of a Needle "Not since the days of Julius Caesar had the Romans conquered so much territory as they did under Justinian--or rather reconquered it. Bracketed between the fall of the western empire in the fifth century and the fall of the Roman Near East in the seventh, the empire of New Rome came out swinging on all fronts. Heather brings clarity and verve to his narrative, but also explains the overall strategic calculations that are often missing from other accounts. Rome Resurgent is now the modern military history of the reign."--Anthony Kaldellis, author of Streams of Gold, Rivers of Blood and A Cabinet of Byzantine Curiosities

"Peter Heather's new book is an admirably accessible, authoritative, and up-to-date guide to the reign of Justinian and the place of the emperor in the broader sweep of Roman and Byzantine history. It deserves a wide readership amongst both the general public and specialists alike."--Peter Sarris, author of Empires of Faith and Byzantium: A Very Short Introduction

"While [Rome Resurgent] is required reading for the specialist the Late Empire and early Middle Ages, it is also a good read for the layman with a passing interest in the period." --NYMAS "A magisterial account of the recovery of Rome after the collapse of the western provinces. Peter Heather sets out how stability and prosperity returned to the Roman East and paved the way for a new golden age. This is not just an interesting book but an important one too."--Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads and The First Crusade "Heather provides general readers a clear and thorough narration of Justinian's wars and historians with food for thought concerning their impact ...

193 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World Iddo Landau Key Selling Points • Includes practical advice and aims to help people who feel that their lives are not meaningful enough • Emphasizes non-perfectionism regarding the meaning of life • Argues that the objectivism/relativism debate is inconsequential in relation to the meaning of life Summary Does life have meaning? Is it possible for life to be meaningful when the world is filled with suffering and when so much depends merely upon chance? Even if there is meaning, is there enough to justify living?

These questions are difficult to resolve. There are times in which we face the mundane, the illogically cruel, and the tragic, which leave us to question the value of 9780190092221 our lives. However, Iddo Landau argues, our lives often are, or could be made, 019009222X Pub Date: 4/1/2020 meaningfulwe've just been setting the bar too high for evaluating what meaning there $17.95 is. Discount Code: 1A Paperback When it comes to meaning in life, Landau explains, we have let perfect become the 312 Pages enemy of the good. We have failed to find life perfectly meaningful, and therefore Philosophy PHI000000 have failed to see any meaning in our lives. We must attune ourselves to enhancing and appreciating the meaning in our lives, and Landau shows us how to do that.

In this warmly written book, rich with examples from the author's life, film, literature, and history, Landau offers new theories and practical advice that awaken us to the meaning already present in our lives and demonstrates how we can enhance it. He confronts prevailing nihilist ideas that undermine our existence, and the questions that dog us no matter what we believe. While exposing the weaknesses of ideas that lead many to despair, he builds a strong case for maintaining more hope. Along the way, he faces provocative questions: Would we choose to live forever if we could? Does death render life meaningless? If we examine it in the context of the immensity of the whole universe, can we consider life meaningful? If we feel empty once we achieve our goals, and the pursuit of these goals is what gives us a sense of meaning, then what can we do? Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World is likely to alter the way you understand your life. Contributor Bio

Iddo Landau is Professor of Philosophy at Haifa University, Israel. He has published extensively on the meaning of life. Quotes

"...it may very well be the best one on the market. It is accessible to a wide audience, including non-academics. As such, this book could be a good recommended read to persons struggling with finding meaning or work in their lives." -- Caitlin Maples, The Journal of Value Inquiry "[This] book impressively achieves its main goal: Landau improves both academics' and non-academics' thinking about this important topic, and helps us making and considering our lives more meaningful... I hope that similar books will soon further exemplify contemporary analytic philosophy's great potential to inform cognitive therapy or self-help." -- The Philosophical Quarterly "While most of the recent philosophical work on meaning in life is very theoretical, Landau's book is engaging, accessible, and pitched toward those who have genuine concerns about the value or worth of their lives ... This book would work very well in 194 undergraduate courses dealing with meaning in life or well-being. That the book's working account of the meaningful life leaves room for further specification could function as a basis for productive and fun uses in the classroom ... On the whole, Iddo Landau's book is a wonderful contribution. It is a delightful read and should prove a helpful resource for teachers and for researchers who work on the meaning of life. And, perhaps most importantly, this book offers people hope and guidance for living a meaningful life in our all too imperfect world."--Stephen M. Campbell, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "This book is rare in being thoroughly versed in many philosophical discussions of the meaning of life, yet full of practical wisdom. Completely accessible to anyone who finds the question of meaning urgent, it sets a standard few discussions of the topic manage to reach." --Simon Blackburn, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Research Professor at UNC Chapel Hill, and Professor at the New College of the Humanities

"A deep exploration of the main questions and answers in the meaning of life literature. A pleasure to read." --Owen Flanagan, James B. Duke Professor of Philosophy at Duke University

"Written for the generally educated reader, but of interest to the professional philosopher, Iddo Landau's book is a guide to making life meaningful under less than ideal conditions. Landau is a careful, informed navigator, showing the reader how to reach a meaningful life despite obstacles such as suffering, death, evil, randomness, and a lack of free will. Making insightful philosophical points without jargon, referring to literature and the arts to illustrate, and also plumbing people's psychologies to identify mental blocks, Landau's book is practically wise and theoretically profound." --Thaddeus Metz, Distinguished Research Professor, University of Johannesburg

In Heartthrobs, Carol Dyhouse draws upon 9780198828129 literature, cinema, and popular romance to show how the changing cultural and 0198828128 economic position of women has shaped their dreams about men.

198 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Creators, Conquerors, and Citizens A History of Ancient Greece Robin Waterfield Key Selling Points • An exciting and rich narrative of the cradle of Western civilization • Highlights the birth of democracy, tragedy, philosophy, science, and other Greek achievements • Provides more detail and a larger chronological scope than most general histories of ancient Greece Summary "We Greeks are one in blood and one in language; we have temples to the gods and religious rites in common, and a common way of life." So the fifth-century historian Herodotus has some Athenians declare, in explanation of why they would never betray their fellow Greeks to the enemy, the "barbarian" Persians. And he might have added further common features, such as clothing, foodways, and political institutions. But if the Greeks knew that they were kin, why did many of them side with the 9780190095765 0190095768 Persians against fellow Greeks, and why, more generally, is ancient Greek history so Pub Date: 4/1/2020 often the history of internecine wars and other forms of competition with one $19.95 another? This is the question acclaimed historian Robin Waterfield sets out to explore Discount Code: 03 in this magisterial history of ancient Greece. Paperback

544 Pages With more information, more engagingly presented, than any similar work, this is the History / Ancient HIS002010 best single-volume account of ancient Greece in more than a generation. Waterfield gives a comprehensive narrative of seven hundred years of history, from the emergence of the Greeks around 750 BCE to the Roman conquest of the last of the Greco-Macedonian kingdoms in 30 BCE. Equal weight is given to all phases of Greek history -- the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods. But history is not just facts; it is also a matter of how we interpret the evidence. Without compromising the readability of the book, Waterfield incorporates the most recent scholarship by classical historians and archaeologists and asks his readers to think critically about Greek history. A brilliant, up-to-date account of ancient Greece, suitable for history buffs and university students alike, Creators, Conquerors, and Citizens presents a compelling and comprehensive story of this remarkable civilization's disunity, underlying cultural solidarity, and eventual political unification.

Robin Waterfield is an independent scholar and translator, living in southern Greece. In addition to more than twenty-five translations of works of Greek literature, he is the author of numerous books, including Dividing the Spoils and Taken at the Flood. Quotes

"The scholarship is thorough, deep, and well-explained... Readers looking for an authoritative account of almost any aspect of ancient Greek history should be thoroughly gratified."--Kirkus

"Creators, Conquerors, and Citizens is an ideal seminar on ancient Greek history, in book-form: it's scholarly but never pedantic, and it's all told by a true enthusiast with a gift for clarifying. If Waterfield is correct that every generation needs its own new history of ancient Greece, he's certainly provided a fine example, a book fit to stand alongside Christian Meier's Athens or Josiah Ober's magnificent The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece."--Steve Donoghue, pen Letters Review "Highly readable, with well-produced maps and figures, it can be relied on as a distillation of twentyfirst-century historians' overall view of the subject... We are in sure hands as Waterfield guides us through the major historical milestones... Any of 199 these would warrant a volume in itself, and the fact that Waterfield keeps the whole huge freight train on track, indeed clacking elegantly along, is proof of an experienced engineer." --Literary Review of Canada "A distinctive and decidedly modern interpretation of Greek history."--IMHQ Magazine "Waterfield's searching approach to the nature of Greek identity transforms this otherwise highly traditional, chronological history into something more revelatory... suitably authoritative and measured... wide-ranging, but enlivened by its detail." --Daisy Dunn, Sunday Times [London]

"[Waterfield] sets out to trace seven and a half centuries of Greek history (from roughly the first Olympiad to Rome's annexation of Egypt), recognizing the diversity of the Greek diaspora, while explicating many of the social and cultural practices that lent it a degree of unity, and tracing innovations in areas as diverse as philosophy and siege warfare. It is a mark of his skill that he succeeds so brilliantly... This book provides an invaluable resource for anyone wishing a comprehensive account of Greek history and culture, while reading lists point the way for those who wish to find out more. W.'s masterly review of how tensions between cultural unity and political disunity unfolded over eight hundred years is to be thoroughly recommended."--David Stuttard, Classics for All

201 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Mothers of Massive Resistance White Women and the Politics of White Supremacy Elizabeth Gillespie McRae Key Selling Points • Addresses the central role white women played in the crafting of white supremacist politics • Argues for the feminine roots of modern conservatism, a political movement so often talked about in masculinist terms • Looks at the work of maintaining segregration across five decades, not just after Brown v. Board of Education Summary Why do white supremacist politics in America remain so powerful? Elizabeth Gillespie McRae argues that the answer lies with white women.

Examining racial segregation from 1920s to the 1970s, Mothers of Massive Resistance explores the grassroots workers who maintained the system of racial segregation and 9780190088392 Jim Crow. For decades in rural communities, in university towns, and in New South 0190088397 cities, white women performed myriad duties that upheld white over black: censoring Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $24.95 textbooks, denying marriage certificates, deciding on the racial identity of their Discount Code: 1A neighbors, celebrating school choice, canvassing communities for votes, and lobbying Paperback elected officials. They instilled beliefs in racial hierarchies in their children, built 368 Pages national networks, and experimented with a color-blind political discourse. Without 19 hts these mundane, everyday acts, white supremacist politics could not have shaped local, regional, and national politics the way it did or lasted as long as it has.

With white women at the center of the story, the rise of postwar conservatism looks very different than the male-dominated narratives of the resistance to Civil Rights. Women like Nell Battle Lewis, Florence Sillers Ogden, Mary Dawson Cain, and Cornelia Dabney Tucker publicized threats to their Jim Crow world through political organizing, private correspondence, and journalism. Their efforts began before World War II and the Brown decision and persisted past the 1964 Civil Rights Act and anti-busing protests. White women's segregationist politics stretched across the nation, overlapping with and shaping the rise of the New Right. Mothers of Massive Resistance reveals the diverse ways white women sustained white supremacist politics and thought well beyond the federal legislation that overturned legal segregation. Contributor Bio

Elizabeth Gillespie McRae is Sossomon Associate Professor of History and director of graduate social science education programs at Western Carolina University. Quotes

"Though this is a thoroughly-researched historical study, McRae does not present strictly chronological order, but lets the lives of the women shine forth and parallel the historical events -- local and national, domestic and private -- that they shaped ... McRae is unafraid to plainly state where segregationist and conservative interests and rhetoric overlap and to pinpoint where even academics fail to showcase them." -- LaToya Jefferson-James, Arkansas Review "This is an ambitious and well-written book, and McRae makes compelling case that white southern segregationists had more power to fortify and shape white supremacy and the rise of massive resistance than historians to date have recognized. Readers will find that one of the most striking features of this book is the haunting familiarity of these white supremacist tropes in our current political discourse, evidence that this history is vitally important to the ongoing struggle for racial justice." -- Zoë Burkholder, History of Education Quarterly 202 "A valuable addition to the politically urgent study of whiteness in American History."--Anna J. Clutterbuck-Cook, Library Journal (starred review) "The crystal-clear message of this thoroughly researched and impressively documented book is that white supremacy remains a powerful force in the United States."--Kirkus Reviews "A strikingly original and unsettling analysis of the 'long segregation movement.' Tracking this struggle to maintain racial difference and distance from the eugenics mania of the 1920s through the watershed of the 1940s to the Boston busing crisis and the rise of the New Right, Elizabeth McRae paints a vivid portrait of hard-working white women in local communities across the country who, drawing on their moral authority as mothers, fought to protect white privilege, sometimes explicitly, through the tactics of massive resistance, sometimes covertly, under the guise of school choice and limited government. A must read for understanding the politics of white supremacy over the past half century and in our own time."--Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Women have long been marginalized in studies of segregation, but Mothers of Massive Resistance makes a powerful case for placing them at the center of our attention. In this smartly argued book, Elizabeth McRae shows that southern white women not only brought massive resistance into being, but then sustained its growth at the grassroots in vitally important ways."--Kevin Kruse, Princeton University "A product of extraordinary research, McRae's gracefully written account captures the critical role white women of the South played in defending segregation even as it exposes the deep-seated cultural assumptions that led them to battle."--Dan Carter, University of South Carolina "Brilliantly demonstrates how white women were both the everyday architects of white supremacy in the Jim Crow South and fully connected to national movements to enforce racial segregation and promote political conservatism. It excavates the grassroots activism of female segregationists in their roles as suffragists, social workers, eugenicists, school teachers, textbook censors, journalists, storytellers, garden clubbers, party activists, anticommunists, and most of all as wives and mothers."--Matthew Lassiter, author of The Silent Majority: Suburban Politics in the Sunbelt South "This deeply researched history of women and the work of segregation represents a major revision of Jim Crow and gender history. We see just how widespread and unrelenting, coordinated and feminine anti-integration efforts became over the early and mid-twentieth century--within and beyond the south. Indeed, women were the 'mass in massive resistance.'"--Michelle Nickerson, author of Mothers of Conservatism: Women and the Postwar Right "A fascinating, meticulously researched, and damning look into the myriad ways white women have consciously worked to aid racial segregation in the Jim Crow South and sanctify their racially pure vision of white motherhood...McRae's book shines a harsh light on our status as collaborators and progenitors in the mainstream white- supremacist movement, and is essential reading for any white woman who seeks to understand our history-and our responsibility to those we've failed."--Kim Kelly, Bitch Magazine "A sharp look at mainstream, everyday segregationism: the segregationism of respectable white women...McRae's book is an excellent history of white women's politics generally, but it's especially strong as a history of white women acting to protect 'their' public schools...McRae's project fulfills nearly all the requirements for a feminist history. She uncovers the role women played in a well-known historical movement, in which powerful or violent men-Klan members or George Wallace-are usually assigned the lead. She shines a light on their under-recognized, feminized work to shape and support that movement. She even demonstrates how women responded to gendered and class-based limitations on their power to perpetuate segregation in the public sphere with creativity and resilience."--Rebecca Stoner, Pacific Standard "An essential addition...McRae's book is likely to endure as a work that helps to permanently transform our understanding of the relationship between the Jim Crow South and what she calls Jim Crow Nation, and the emergence of the New Right. McRae rightly calls the political mobilization of segregationist women in the South and elsewhere203 a women's movement. These conservative women, previously unheralded in the historical literature, staked their claim as political actors, calling on their traditional-and powerful-role as mothers to express their views and exert influence on a host of political and cultural issues, while never completely disguising the fidelity to white supremacy that animated and joined together their various causes."--Zachary J. Lechner, H-South, H-Net Reviews "McRae...makes the compelling case that reducing massive resistance to a decade from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s obscures its political evolution and renders its activists reactionaries...Examining this resistance through the eyes of four southern white segregationists...McRae reveals that these women and their southern sisters were...part of a widespread political mobilization. Though initially these women publicly promoted the importance of maintaining de jure segregation and 'white over black,' over time they came to emphasize other fears...but ideas of white supremacy always remained under the surface. For McRae, the forced busing controversies of the 1970s...brings home the idea of an expanded notion of massive resistance and the idea that racism in the US has been persistent and pervasive, occurring across vast periods of time and crossing regional boundaries. McRae deserves kudos for her extensive research."--Choice Marketing Plans Table Of Contents

204 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Avenging the People Andrew Jackson, the Rule of Law, and the American Nation J.M. Opal Key Selling Points • Uses new evidence about Andrew Jackson and the southern frontier, including off the record missions to destroy native villages • Reinterprets Indian removal, the banking crisis of the 1830s, Manifest Destiny, and the rise of vigilante violence Summary Most Americans know Andrew Jackson as a frontier rebel against political and diplomatic norms, a "populist" champion of ordinary people against the elitist legacy of the Founding Fathers. Many date the onset of American democracy to his 1829 inauguration.

Despite his reverence for the "sovereign people," however, Jackson spent much of his 9780190088385 career limiting that sovereignty, imposing new and often unpopular legal regimes over 0190088389 American lands and markets. He made his name as a lawyer, businessman, and Pub Date: 4/1/2020 $24.95 official along the Carolina and Tennessee frontiers, at times ejecting white squatters Discount Code: 1A from native lands and returning slaves to native planters in the name of federal Paperback authority and international law. On the other hand, he waged total war on the 352 Pages Cherokees and Creeks who terrorized western settlements and raged at the national 21 hts statesmen who refused to "avenge the blood" of innocent colonists. During the long History / Americas war in the south and west from 1811 to 1818 he brushed aside legal restraints on HIS038000 holy genocide and mass retaliation, presenting himself as the only man who would protect white families from hostile empires, "heathen" warriors, and rebellious slaves. He became a towering hero to those who saw the United States as uniquely lawful and victimized. And he used that legend to beat back a range of political, economic, and moral alternatives for the republican future.

Drawing from new evidence about Jackson and the southern frontiers, Avenging the People boldly reinterprets the grim and principled man whose version of American nationhood continues to shape American democracy. Contributor Bio

J.M. Opal is Associate Professor of History at McGill University. He is the author of Beyond the Farm: National Ambitions in Rural New England and the editor of Common Sense and Other Writings by Thomas Paine. Quotes

"Many Americans long for a strong man to lead the nation and avenge their grievances. In this eloquent book, Jason Opal astutely and vividly recovers the backstory to that longing in the personal charisma, frontier violence, legal reasoning, and assertive self-righteousness of Andrew Jackson and his America." --Alan Taylor, author of American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750-1804 "If you think there can't be much more to say about Andrew Jackson, you will share my excitement at how much Jason Opal has discovered. In his subject's diverse hatreds, against Whigs and Indians, Britons and bankers, Opal has found a unifying thread--Jackson's obsession with revenge--that helps to explain them all." --Woody Holton, author of Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution "Jason Opal shows how a violent frontier ruled by vengeance shaped the characters of Andrew Jackson and so many of his countrymen. This vivid, wide-ranging, meticulously documented narrative will fascinate history buffs and scholars alike." --Daniel Walker Howe, author of What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of 205 America, 1815-1848 "What a riveting book this is! How is it that Americans, a professedly civilized and peace-loving people, have at times behaved so savagely and even gloried in their savagery? J. M. Opal's provocative take on Jacksonian character rewrites Andrew Jackson not as common-man champion but as avenger-in-chief, the avatar of a nation whose defining trait was not equality or democracy but an unslakable craving for vengeance." --Daniel Feller, University of Tennessee

"A timely study of how American democracy set limits on its own egalitarian potential while enacting bloody vengeance against people defined as enemies to American progress." --Kathleen DuVal, author of Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution "A scholarly study of Andrew Jackson's troubling sense of persecution and vindication for the poor, white frontier folk who flocked to his name and legend... Given some of the views of the current occupant of the White House, it is certainly relevant."--Kirkus

"A thoroughly researched and quite sophisticated book... Opal's portrait of Jackson and his world is insightful and vividly rendered."--Richard White, Boston Review

"A beneficial and comprehensive addition to the discussion of how the United States became what it is today."--Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch

"[Opal] certainly has an eye for the telling anecdote and a knack for capturing in a few words the essence of Jackson's vengeful character... Opal also offers a big idea to frame his lively prose. Jackson, he argues, was hardly the thoughtless figure [Richard] Hofstadter described, who believed that might always made him right. Instead, Old Hickory had a more sophisticated view of power: He legitimated his aggression in politics and war by invoking the concept of the rights of sovereign nations."- Michael Kazin, The Nation "Excellent research and impressive erudition."--Library of Law and Liberty blog "A technical but compelling read, this book goes a long way to understanding the glorification of national vengeance that is the structural basis of the US nation."--The Times (U.K.)

"The story of the bloody decades following the Revolution and the early development of the [Old Southwest] region is told graphically, succinctly, and with unusual and rewarding insight."-- Donald Ratcliffe, Journal of Southern History

They also provided a fertile source of symbols and Discount Code: 1A stories in their myths and folklore, and were central to the ancient rituals of augury Paperback and divination. Jeremy Mynott's Birds in the Ancient World: Winged Words brings 480 Pages together all this rich and fascinating material for the modern reader. 95 colour illustrations, 9 black & white illustrations Using quotations from well over a hundred classical Greek and Roman authors, all of them translated freshly into English, and nearly a hundred illustrations from ancient wall-paintings, pottery, and mosaics, Birds in the Ancient World illustrates the many different roles birds played in popular culture: as indicators of time, weather, and the seasons; as a resource for hunting, eating, medicine, and farming; as domestic pets and entertainments; and as omens and intermediaries between the gods and humankind. There are also selections from early scientific writings about birds, as well as many anecdotes and descriptions from works of history, geography, and travel.

Jeremy Mynott acts as a stimulating guide to this varied material, using birds as a prism through which to explore both the similarities and the often surprising differences between ancient conceptions of the natural world and our own. His book is an original contribution to the flourishing interest in the cultural history of birds and to our understanding of the ancient cultures in which birds played such a prominent part.

208 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Erasmus Darwin Sex, Science, and Serendipity Patricia Fara Key Selling Points • A pursuit of the life and ideas of Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles, and prominent scientist, radical, and Enlightenment man of letters • The man who published controversial ideas on Evolution years before the birth of his famous grandson • An exciting detective story in which award-winning author Patricia Fara follows the elusive Dr Darwin through the archives • A quest that offers a fresh view not only of Erasmus Darwin and the Enlightenment, but also of Charles Darwin and the Victorian era Summary Dr Erasmus Darwin seemed an innocuous Midlands physician, a respectable stalwart of eighteenth-century society. But there was another side to him.

9780198848547 Botanist, physician, Lunar inventor and popular poet, Darwin was internationally 0198848544 Pub Date: 8/13/2020 renowned for extraordinary poems explaining his theories about sex and science.

336 Pages Intrigued, prize-winning historian Patricia Fara set out to investigate why Darwin had 8 black and white illustrations provoked such fierce intellectual and political reaction. Inviting her readers to accompany her, she embarked on what turned out to be a circuitous and serendipitous journey.

Her research led her to discover a man who possessed, according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 'perhaps a greater range of knowledge than any other man in Europe.' His evolutionary ideas influenced his grandson Charles, were banned by the Vatican, and scandalized his reactionary critics. But for modern readers he shines out as an impassioned Enlightenment reformer who championed the abolition of slavery, the education of women, and the optimistic ideals of the French Revolution.

As she tracks down her quarry, Patricia Fara uncovers a ferment of dangerous ideas that terrified the establishment, inspired the Romantics, and laid the ground for Victorian battles between faith and science. Contributor Bio

210 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Populist Temptation Economic Grievance and Political Reaction in the Modern Era Barry Eichengreen Key Selling Points • Brings a cornerstone assessment of populism into paperback • Contextualizes the recent resurgence of populism • Explores possible responses to the concerns populists raise Summary Populism, on both the right and the left, has spread like wildfire throughout Europe and the United States and is making inroads in other parts of the world. In simplest terms, populism is a political ideology that vilifies elites, minorities and foreigners while lionizing "the people." It reached its apogee in the U.S. with the election of Donald Trump but has been a force in Europe since the Great Recession and the refugee crisis. We now see the rise of leaders with populist tendencies everywhere from Brazil to Turkey. 9780190058821 019005882X Pub Date: 3/1/2020 In The Populist Temptation, Barry Eichengreen places this global resurgence of $18.95 populism in its historical context. Populists have always thrived, he observes, in times Discount Code: 03 Paperback of poor economic performance. Populism feeds on rising inequality, which augments the ranks of those left behind and fans dissatisfaction with the economic status quo. 256 Pages It responds to rapid economic change that heightens insecurity. Business & Economics / Economics BUS069000 These economic developments, Eichengreen shows, give rise to populist reactions when they highlight the divergent interests of the people and the elite. Banking and financial crises are a case in point: the financiers who are the precipitating agents of such crises are card-carrying members of the elite, and are seen as profiting at the expense of the people.

But populism is also a protest against the declining influence of the traditions, beliefs and community of once-dominant groups. It is a reaction against the challenge posed by immigrants and minorities to the people as a homogeneous, well-defined entity. Populists capitalizing on these feelings appeal to a glorious, mythologized past grounded in the collective traditions of that once-dominant majority. They invoke nationalism and criticize politicians who embrace diversity, open borders and equal rights. Populism has particular appeal, Eichengreen shows, when these identity politics and economic grievances come together.

There is no magic solution to these concerns, but Eichengreen points to a starting place: strengthening welfare state policies that make for greater equality of opportunity and social cohesion. Comparing Europe with the United States, he shows that America's patchwork welfare state is less well equipped to deal with the fallout from globalization and technical change and the growing distance between social groups. This reality will be hard to change, since America's limited welfare state reflects the country's historically-rooted suspicion of big government. It is therefore in the United States, Eichengreen concludes, where the siren song of populism is most alluring--and dangerous. Contributor Bio

Quotes

211 "Barry Eichengreen is the world leader in distilling the lessons of economic history for the policy makers of today. This important book is the best we yet have on populism and the antidotes it demands." --Lawrence H. Summers, President Emeritus and Charles W. Eliot University Professor, Harvard University "No one makes economic history relevant to today while doing justice to the past like Barry Eichengreen. The Populist Temptation is the best of American and European perspectives on the worst of current EU and US politics. Sobering and sensible, this is a necessary interpretative guide to our times." --Adam S. Posen, President, Peterson Institute for International Economics "Finally, a superb book that places populism in its proper historical context. And who better to write it than Barry Eichengreen, a master at shedding light on our contemporary economic problems from a historical perspective? Eichengreen brilliantly describes the backlash unleashed by economic difficulties and dislocation periodically throughout history, and the varying success of political regimes to rise to the challenge. Historical treatments with their focus on deeply rooted processes can be fatalistic. Eichengreen nicely sidesteps that trap, with a hopeful, constructive message pointing the way forward." --Dani Rodrik, Harvard University "In The Populist Temptation, Barry Eichengreen, amongst the foremost international economists today, explains why we are seeing an outburst of populist movements across the industrial world, and how they mirror similar movements from history. He argues that while the populists have genuine grievances, the solutions their leaders propose are unlikely to work. Eichengreen is skeptical that populists' concerns can be addressed easily. However, his insightful analysis is an essential starting point for anyone who wants to understand one of the most important developments of our times." --Raghuram G. Rajan, Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, University of Chicago "Barry Eichengreen has written a characteristically lucid book on the contemporary threat of populism." - Financial Times Marketing Plans Table Of Contents

214 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The New Book of Opera Anecdotes Ethan Mordden Key Selling Points • Includes new, previously unpublished interviews • Enriches and expands upon the story begun in the original Opera Anecdotes • Features the skillful storytelling for which Mordden is known Summary Building on the long-established success of Ethan Mordden's Opera Anecdotes, The New Book Of Opera Anecdotes continues where the original left off, bringing into view the new corps of major singers that arose after the first book's publication in 1985 -- artists such as Renee Fleming, Roberto Alagna, Deborah Voigt, Jonas Kaufmann, Kathleen Battle, and Jane Eaglen (who tested her family with Turandot's three riddles and got a very original answer).

There are also fresh adventures with opera's fabled great -- Rossini, Wagner, Toscanini (whose temper tantrums are always good for a story), Franco Corelli, 9780190877682 Luciano Pavarotti, Leontyne Price (who, when the Met's Rudolf Bing offered her the 0190877685 Pub Date: 5/1/2020 voice-killing role of Abigaille in Verdi's Nabucco, said, "Man, are you crazy?"). $19.95 Discount Code: 03 Almost all the stories in The New Book Of Opera Anecdotes are completely new, Paperback whether from the present or the past, taking in many historical developments, from 288 Pages the rise of the conductor to the appearance of the gymmed-up "bari-hunk" who Music / Genres & Styles refuses to play any role in which he can't appear shirtless. MUS028000

While most of Mordden's anecdotes are humorous, some are emotionally touching, such as one recounting a Met production of Mozart's The Marriage Of Figaro in which Renee Fleming sang alongside her own six-year-old daughter. Other tales are suspenseful, as when Tito Gobbi shows off his ability to make anyone turn around simply by staring at his or her back. He tries it on Nazi monster Joseph Goebbels, who does turn around, and then starts to move toward Gobbi, seething with rage, step by step...

Mordden recounts these stories in his own unique voice, amplifying events for reading pleasure and adding in background material so the opera newcomer can play on the same field as the aficionado. Witty, dramatoic, and at times a little shocking, The New Book Of Opera Anecdotes will be a welcome addition to any opera fan's library. Contributor Bio

221 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Future of the Professions How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts, Updated Edition Richard Susskind, Daniel Susskind Key Selling Points • Presents groundbreaking research on how technology will transform the work, and relevancy, of professionals • Provides key insights for policymakers, professionals, and academics alike • Surveys the future challenges faced across a variety of sectors and industries, and the new opportunities these may bring Summary This book predicts the decline of today's professions and introduces the people and systems that will replace them. In an internet-enhanced society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in the 20th century.

9780198841890 The Future of the Professions explains how increasingly capable technologies - from 0198841892 telepresence to artificial intelligence - will place the 'practical expertise' of the finest Pub Date: 11/26/2019 $12.95 specialists at the fingertips of everyone, often at no or low cost and without Discount Code: 1A face-to-face interaction. Paperback

480 Pages The authors challenge the 'grand bargain' - the arrangement that grants various Business & Economics / Labor monopolies to today's professionals. They argue that our current professions are BUS038000 antiquated, opaque and no longer affordable, and that the expertise of their best is enjoyed only by a few. In their place, they propose five new models for producing and distributing expertise in society.

The book raises profound policy issues, not least about employment (they envisage a new generation of 'open-collared workers') and about control over online expertise (they warn of new 'gatekeepers') - in an era when machines become more capable than human beings at most tasks.

With a new preface exploring recent critical developments, this updated edition builds on the authors' groundbreaking research into more than a dozen professions. Illustrated with numerous examples from each, this is the first book to assess and question the relevance of the professions in the 21st century. Contributor Bio

"...the authors are without doubt two of the best-informed and serious gun scholars publishing today ... they have written a very balanced and well-documented essay that objectively summarizes the state of the gun argument on both sides of the debate." -Mike the Gun Guy "The Gun Debate is written in an admirably neutral tone. Summarizing results from hundreds of studies, the book makes a hugely positive contribution toward sensitive and sensible evidence-based evaluation of what has worked, and what hasn't, in gun control - and why. The language is straightforward English, not econ-speak or reams of tables and statistics. There is something for everyone to take away from this book." --Stone Garden Economics

251 "Too many debates about public policy in the US suffer from the absence of accurate information, careful reasoning, and objective research. This superb book not only supplies all that for firearm regulation at the national, state, and local levels but also serves as a sterling model for other policy topics." -CHOICE "WOW! + rated. Just the facts from all points of view." -The Lone Star Book Review "Cook and Goss, public policy professors at Duke University, provide a fantastic overview of the major issues. Although they tend to favor stricter regulation, their book is balanced--and frank about what both sides get wrong." -The Washington Post Marketing Plans • Social media and online promotion • Academic marketing and library promotion • Series advertising and promotions Table Of Contents

256 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog American Business History: A Very Short Introduction Walter A. Friedman Key Selling Points • Devotes significant attention to the connections between business strategy and culture • Provides a different interpretation of the growth of the U.S. economy by focusing on economic aggregates rather than on firms and entrepreneurs • Can be used in MBA programs and American economic history classes Summary By the early twentieth century, it became common to describe the United States as a "business civilization." President Coolidge in 1925 said, "The chief business of the American people is business." More recently, historian Sven Beckert characterized Henry Ford's massive manufactory as the embodiment of America: "While Athens had its Parthenon and Rome its Colosseum, the United States had its River Rouge Factory in Detroit..." How did business come to assume such power and cultural centrality in America?

9780190622473 0190622474 This volume explores the variety of business enterprise in the United States and Pub Date: 5/1/2020 analyzes its presence in the country's economy, its evolution over time, and its $11.95 meaning in society. It introduces readers to formative business leaders (including Discount Code: 03 Paperback Elbert Gary, Harlow Curtice, and Mary Kay Ash), leading firms (Mellon Bank, National Cash Register, Xerox), and fiction about business people (The Octopus, Babbitt, The 160 Pages Man in the Grey Flannel Suit). It also discusses Alfred Chandler, Joseph Schumpeter, 10 History / Americas Mira Wilkins, and others who made significant contributions to understanding of HIS038000 America's business history. This VSI pursues its three central themes - the evolution, Series: Very Short Introductions scale, and culture of American business - in a chronological framework stretching from the American Revolution to today.

The first theme is evolution: How has U.S. business evolved over time? How have American companies competed with one another and with foreign firms? Why have ideas about strategy and management changed? Why did business people in the mid-twentieth century celebrate an "organizational" culture promising long-term employment in the same company, while a few decades later entrepreneurship was prized?

Second is scale: Why did business assume such enormous scale in the United States? Was the rise of gigantic corporations due to the industriousness of its population, or natural resources, or government policies?

And third, culture: What are the characteristics of a "business civilization"? How have opinions on the meaning of business changed? In the late nineteenth century, Andrew Carnegie believed that America's numerous enterprises represented an exuberant "triumph of democracy." After World War II, however, sociologist William H. Whyte saw business culture as stultifying, and historian Richard Hofstadter wrote, "Once great men created fortunes; today a great system creates fortunate men." How did changes in the nature of business affect popular views? Walter A. Friedman provides the long view of these important developments. Contributor Bio

258 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog City Planning: A Very Short Introduction Carl Abbott Key Selling Points • Provides a broad international overview of progress in city planning over the last century • Examines the intersectional nature of urban design and development • Part of the Very Short Introduction series--millions of copies sold worldwide Summary City planning is a practice and a profession. It is also a set of goals and--sometimes utopian--aspirations. Formal thought about the shaping of cities as physical spaces and social environments calls on the same range of disciplines and approaches that we use for understanding cities themselves, from art and literature through the social and natural sciences. Surrounding the core profession of city planning, also known as urban or town planning, are related fields of architecture, landscape design, engineering, geography, political science and policy, sociology, and social work. In addition, the legions of community and environmental activists influence debates and controversies within the field. 9780190944346 019094434X Pub Date: 8/1/2020 This Very Short Introduction is organized around eight key aspects of city planning: $11.95 street layout; congestion and decentralization; the response to suburbanization; the Discount Code: 03 Paperback conservation and regeneration of older districts; cities as natural systems; cities and regions; social class and ethnicity; and disasters and resilience. The underlying 160 Pages assumption throughout is that decisions that we make today about cities and 10 Political Science / Public Policy metropolitan regions are best understood as the continuation of past efforts to solve POL002000 fundamental problems that have shifted and evolved over multiple generations. At its Series: Very Short Introductions best, city planning utilizes technical tools to achieve goals set by community action and political debate. Carl Abbott's addition to Oxford's long-running Very Short Introduction series is a brief but concentrated look at past decisions about the management of urban growth and their effects on the creation of the twenty-first century city.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

262 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Reconstruction: A Very Short Introduction Allen C. Guelzo Key Selling Points • Written by the leading authority on Civil War, Reconstruction, and Lincoln, and three-time winner of the Lincoln Prize • Provides a new perspective on Reconstruction, showing that it did not take palce only in the South, but also in the West • Discusses other "reconstructions" that occurred in parallel with the political one: in philosophy, literature, law, and economy Summary The era known as Reconstruction is one of the unhappiest times in American history. It succeeded in reuniting the nation politically after the Civil War but in little else. Among its chief failures was the inability to chart a progressive course for race relations after the abolition of slavery and rise of Jim Crow. Reconstruction also struggled to successfully manage the Southern resistance towards a Northern, free-labor pattern. But the failures cannot obscure a number of notable accomplishments, with decisive long-term consequences for American life: the 14th 9780190454791 0190454792 and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, the election of the first African American Pub Date: 1/14/2020 representatives to the US Congress, and the avoidance of any renewed outbreak of $11.95 civil war. Reconstruction suffered from poor leadership and uncertainty of direction, Discount Code: 03 Paperback but it also laid the groundwork for renewed struggles for racial equality during the Civil Rights Movement. 192 Pages 10 History / United States This Very Short Introduction delves into the constitutional, political, and social issues HIS036050 behind Reconstruction to provide a lucid and original account of a historical moment Series: Very Short Introductions that left an indelible mark on American social fabric. Award-winning historian Allen C. Guelzo depicts Reconstruction as a "bourgeois revolution" -- as the attempted extension of the free-labor ideology embodied by Lincoln and the Republican Party to what was perceived as a Southern region gone astray from the Founders' intention in the pursuit of Romantic aristocracy.

264 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog The Maya: A Very Short Introduction Matthew Restall, Amara Solari Key Selling Points • A rare packaging of all Maya history from origins to the present • Takes a multidisciplinary approach to study of the Maya people, including literature, religion, and archaeology • Expands traditional periodization of Mayan history to explore more historical nuance Summary The Maya forged the greatest society in the history of the ancient Americas, and one of the great societies in human history. Long before contact with Europeans, Maya communities built spectacular cities, created complex agricultural systems, mastered the visual arts, and developed a sophisticated writing system that recorded extraordinary knowledge in calendrics, mathematics, and astronomy. All that was achieved without area-wide centralized control. For there was never a single, unified Maya state or empire, but always numerous, evolving ethnic groups speaking dozens of distinct Mayan languages. The people we call "Maya" never thought of themselves as such; so what was their self-identity and how did Maya civilization come to be 9780190645021 0190645024 "invented"? Yet something definable, unique, and endlessly fascinating-what we call Pub Date: 7/30/2020 Maya culture-has clearly existed for millennia. $11.95 Discount Code: 03 Paperback With the Maya subdivided in so many ways-geographical, linguistic, and chronological-the pursuit of what made the Maya "the Maya" is all the more 160 Pages important.

Cohen Key Selling Points • An exploration of the intertwined histories of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam over three thousand years • Emphasizes the continuing interactions between Jews, Christians, and Muslims • Demonstrates the importance of political context to the development of the Abrahamic religions Summary In the book of Genesis, God bestows a new name upon Abram--Abraham, a father of many nations. With this name and his Covenant, Abraham would become the patriarch of three of the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Connected by their mutual--if differentiated--veneration of the One God proclaimed by Abraham, these traditions share much beyond their origins in the ancient Israel of the Old Testament.

The U.S.Supreme Court: A Very Short Introduction(2nd

Edition) Linda Greenhouse Key Selling Points • Shows the court at work by focusing on the people and traditions of the institution • Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Supreme Court reporter • Includes new writing on the court's shift since the 2016 election • Considers the future of abortion rights and the precarious Roe v. Wade precedent Summary For 30 years, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Linda Greenhouse chronicled the activities of the U.S. Supreme Court and its justices as a correspondent for the New York Times. In this Very Short Introduction, she draws on her deep knowledge of the court's history and of its written and unwritten rules to show readers how the Supreme Court really works.

Greenhouse offers a fascinating institutional biography of a place and its people--men 9780190079819 and women who exercise great power but whose names and faces are unrecognized 0190079819 by many Americans and whose work often appears cloaked in mystery. How do cases Pub Date: 7/1/2020 $11.95 get to the Supreme Court? How do the justices go about deciding them? What special Discount Code: 03 role does the chief justice play? What do the law clerks do? How does the court relate Paperback to the other branches of government? Greenhouse answers these questions by 144 Pages depicting the justices as they confront deep constitutional issues or wrestle with the 11 b/w images meaning of confusing federal statutes. Throughout, the author examines many Law / Courts individual Supreme Court cases to illustrate points under discussion, ranging from LAW025000 Series: Very Short Introductions Marbury v. Madison, the seminal case which established judicial review, to the recent District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), which struck down the District of Columbia's gun-control statute and which was, surprisingly, the first time in its history that the Court issued an authoritative interpretation of the Second Amendment. To add perspective, Greenhouse also compares the Court to foreign courts, revealing interesting differences. For instance, no other country in the world has chosen to bestow life tenure on its judges.

The second edition of Greenhouse's Very Short Introduction tracks the changes in the Court's makeup over the last eight years, considers the landmark decisions of the Obama and Trump eras, and reexamines the precarious fates of such precedents as Roe v. Wade.

A superb overview packed with telling details, this volume offers a matchless introduction to one of the pillars of American government. Contributor Bio

Would you cross the path of a black cat, or step under a ladder? Is breaking a mirror just an expensive waste of glass, or something rather more sinister? Despite the dominance of science in today's world, superstitious beliefs - both traditional and new - remain 9780198819257 0198819250 surprisingly popular. A recent survey of adults in the United States found that 33 Pub Date: 4/1/2020 percent believed that finding a penny was good luck, and 23 percent believed that the $11.95 number seven was lucky. Where did these superstitions come from, and why do they Discount Code: 03 Paperback persist today?

160 Pages This Very Short Introduction explores the nature and surprising history of superstition 8-10 black and white images Social Science / Popular Culture from antiquity to the present. For two millennia, superstition was a label derisively SOC022000 applied to foreign religions and unacceptable religious practices, and its primary Series: Very Short Introductions purpose was used to separate groups and assert religious and social authority. After the Enlightenment, the superstition label was still used to define groups, but the new dividing line was between reason and unreason. Today, despite our apparent sophistication and technological advances, superstitious belief and behaviour remain widespread, and highly educated people are not immune. Stuart Vyse takes an exciting look at the varieties of popular superstitious beliefs today and the psychological reasons behind their continued existence, as well as the likely future course of superstition in our increasingly connected world.

Heilbron Key Selling Points • Covers the life and work of one of the most creative physicists of the 20th century, Niels Bohr, who pioneered the quantum theory of the atom • Considers how Bohr's work was influenced by his philosophy and humanist concerns • Alongside Bohr as a scientist, discusses his role as a statesman, institution builder, and Danish cultural icon • Offers the first overview in English that draws on all the available sources, which the author has had a hand in uncovering • Part of the Very Short Introductions series - over ten million copies sold worldwide Summary Niels Bohr, who pioneered the quantum theory of the atom, had a broad conception of his obligations as a physicist. They included not only a responsibility for the consequences of his work for the wider society, but also a compulsion to apply the philosophy he deduced from his physics to improving ordinary people's understanding of the moral universe they inhabit. In some of these concerns Bohr resembled 9780198819264 0198819269 Einstein, although Einstein could not accept what he called the "tranquilizing Pub Date: 6/1/2020 philosophy" with which Bohr tried to resolve such ancient conundrums as the nature $11.95 (or possibility) of free will.

In addition to his role as a scientist, Heilbron considers Bohr as a SCI055000 statesman and Danish cultural icon, who built scientific institutions and pushed for the Series: Very Short Introductions extension of international cooperation in science to all nation states. As a humanist he was concerned with the cultivation of all sides of the individual, and with the complementary contributions of all peoples to the sum of human culture. Throughout, Heilbron considers how all of these aspects of Bohr's personality influenced his work, as well as the science that made him, in the words of Sir Henry Dale, President of the Royal Society of London, probably the "first among all the men of all countries who are now active in any department of science."

Its interactions with the concept of infinity led to Series: Very Short Introductions Taylor and Fourier series, some of the most practical tools of modern science. The birth of complex numbers led to a shocking union of exponential and trigonometric functions, creating the most beautiful formulas and powerful modelling tools in science. Finally, as Van Brummelen shows, trigonometry allows us to explore the strange new worlds of non-Euclidean geometries, opening up bizarre possibilities for the shape of space itself. And indeed, one of those new geometries - spherical - takes us full circle back to ancient Greek astronomers and European navigators, who first used it to chart their ways across the heavens and the earth.

This Side of Paradise(2nd Edition) F. Scott Fitzgerald, Philip McGowan Key Selling Points • 2020 marks the centenary of the publication of F. Scott's Fitzgerald's first novel • This Side of Paradise establishes the first fictional terrains for Fitzgerald's investigations of American individualism, sexuality, the emerging rebellion of teen years, and the questioning of perceived routines of American innocence • Positions This Side of Paradise in relation to Fitzgerald's interest in cinema and media developments of his time, his flirtation with socialism in the closing sections of the novel, and his development of Amory through childhood to young adulthood • Fitzgerald's importance as the definer of his times, whether as the chronicler of the Jazz Age or the finest writer of the American Depression, continues into the twenty-first century, and his enduring popularity across all reading constituencies remains the case almost eight decades after his death Summary 'The wise writer, I think, writes for the youth of his own generation, the critic 9780198848110 of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.' 0198848110 Pub Date: 7/29/2020 $11.95 Following the education and young life of Amory Blaine, from indulged only child to Discount Code: 11 disillusioned war veteran, This Side of Paradise is a thinly veiled account of Paperback Fitzgerald's time as a Princeton undergraduate and an aspiring writer set against the 304 Pages turbulent background of adolescence, first loves, and the outbreak of World War I. Literary Criticism Amory moves through a dynamic whirl of exuberant youth, university escapades and LIT000000 adventures home and abroad as one of a new, restless American generation. Series: Oxford World's Classics

This Side of Paradise ensured immediate fame as well as notoriety for F. Scott Fitzgerald. Not only Fitzgerald's bestselling novel during his lifetime, it was also the work against which each of his later novels was measured. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of This Side of Paradise: without it, the writing career of one of the twentieth-century's most popular novelists would have been immeasurably different. Brilliant and original in style and structure, brimful of literary experimentalism and fearless originality, it was a spectacular launching for Fitzgerald's career, and instantly stamped him as the bard of the Jazz Age.

345 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Bluster Donald Trump's War on Terror Peter Neumann Key Selling Points • Persuasively shows how Trump's America has mortgaged its security for short-term approval ratings • Highlights the dangers of Trump's counterterrorism strategy • Shows the dangers of conflating terrorism, immigration, and Islam Summary Defeating terrorism was one of Donald Trump's key campaign promises. But there is no easy way to make sense of Donald Trump's war on terror. Is it all bluster, aimed at mobilising his base, or does it represent a genuine shift from previous administrations?

Since Trump took office, American counterterrorism has become more militaristic and less interested in causes and consequences. Relationships with foreign partners have 9780190099947 deteriorated and right-wing extremists feel powerful and emboldened. The most 0190099941 Pub Date: 1/1/2020 significant change of paradigm-the conflation of terrorism, immigration, and Islam-has $21.95 not just resulted in costly failures, such as the "Muslim ban," but also undermined the Discount Code: 02 trust of immigrant communities and multiculturalism in the US. Hardcover

160 Pages In Bluster, Peter Neumann assesses Trump's approach to countering terrorism, and Political Science / Terrorism argues that his war on terror looks strong and powerful in the short term, but will POL037000 cause damage over time. The president has not just failed to provide a strategic framework for defeating terrorism; his entire approach has made the world less safe and undermined America's greatest 'soft power' asset-the very idea of America. Contributor Bio

Peter Neumann is Professor of Security Studies at the Department of War Studies, King's College London, and was director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation, 2008-18. He was previously adjunct professor at Georgetown University. His most recent book is Radicalized: New Jihadists and the Threat to the West. Quotes

"Lots of angry instincts, no coherent strategy - that is Peter Neumann's damning verdict on a Trump administration that has shamed America while making us all less safe against the very real threat of terrorism." - David Frum, columnist for Atlantic, former White House speechwriter, and author of Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic

"Neumann is one of the world's top terrorism experts. Bluster is an excellent assessment of how American counterterrorism has changed under Trump, and perhaps more importantly, how it has not." - Daniel Byman, Professor in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and author of A High Price: The Triumphs and Failures of Israeli Counterterrorism

"In this important book, Neumann argues that Donald Trump has undermined counterterrorism efforts by conflating terrorism with immigration and emboldening the far right at home while torching the United States' soft power around the world. A timely, persuasive, and utterly devastating critique of Trump's role in America's longest war." - Erica Chenoweth, Berthold Beitz Professor in Human Rights and International Affairs at Harvard University

346 "An impressively well-reasoned and well-documented critique of the rhetoric and reality of the Trump Administration's approach to counterterrorism at home and abroad. Trump vociferously rejected his predecessors, but much has remained the same - and what has changed has made Americans less safe." - Martha Crenshaw, Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Emerita, Stanford University, and Professor of Government, Emerita, at Wesleyan University

"In this cool and careful analysis, Neumann explores the tangible difference that Trump's inflammatory and blustering rhetoric has made to American efforts to counter-terrorism." - Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies at King's College London and author of The Future of War: A History Marketing Plans Table Of Contents

347 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog How the West Was Lost The Decline of a Myth and the Search for New Stories Ben Ryan Key Selling Points • A smart take on the true meaning of the West, its recent decline, and our chance to save it • Argues that it is time for the West to revive its positive values in light of modern-day concerns • Author is Head of Research at the think tank, Theos Summary Westerners love an existential crisis. Each decade since the First World War has raised up prophets of doom proclaiming the end of the Western world as we know it. But this time it's real. Weighed down by economic woes, the seemingly endless war on terror, and the declining power of religion as a unifying force, the West has been limping along. With the public sphere fraying and authoritarian politics rising, this deep-seated crisis is now urgent, and potentially fatal. How did we get here?

9781787381933 1787381935 Ben Ryan's diagnosis is simple: the West is a myth, and it is dying. Its own people Pub Date: 3/1/2020 are no longer convinced or united by its defining ideal--a sense of universal morals, $29.95 and of constant progress towards them. Following a series of 'system failures', Discount Code: 1A Hardcover Westerners--from urban millennials to post-industrial workers-- have lost faith in the West as a moral force. Yet there is a chance for redemption, if we can forge a new 192 Pages common myth of the West: one reviving its great values, and reshaping its ideals for Political Science POL000000 a diverse, forward-looking world.

This smart and thoughtful book explores what the West is, what has happened to it, and how we might save it. Contributor Bio

Ben Ryan is Head of Research at the think tank Theos. He is the editor of Fortress Britain? Ethical Approaches to Immigration Policy for a Post-Brexit Britain and has authored several Theos reports. He holds degrees in European Politics from the LSE and in Theology and Religious Studies from Cambridge. Quotes

"A book of big ideas: an engaging, thought-provoking diagnosis of why, despite living in an era of unparalleled wealth and prosperity, too many have lost faith in the promise of 'the West.' Ryan offers a roadmap for how to resurrect faith in its founding ideals, our only hope for rescuing the West from its own demons of self-doubt, demagogic populism, and a loss of moral purpose."--Brian Klaas, Washington Post columnist, and author of The Despot's Accomplice and The Despot's Apprentice

"Ben Ryan is one of our most interesting young thinkers. His book shows that we can't understand the evolution of our politics without looking at Western liberalism's roots in Western Christianity."-- David Goodhart, Policy Exchange, author of The Road to Somewhere

349 Oxford University Press Spring/Summer 2020 Trade Catalog Is Europe Christian? Olivier Roy, Cynthia Schoch Key Selling Points • A brilliant analysis of Europe's ongoing culture wars over identity, immigration and Islam, and what these mean for Christianity • Considers the changing nature of Christianity in Europe as it 'returns' in a more conservative form from its former colonies • Author has written several highly acclaimed books on the intersection of politics and religion Summary As Europe wrangles over questions of national identity, nativism and immigration, Olivier Roy interrogates the place of Christianity, foundation of Western identity. Do secularism and Islam really pose threats to the continent's 'Christian values'? What will be the fate of Christianity in Europe?

9780190099930 Rather than repeating the familiar narrative of decline, Roy challenges the significance 0190099933 of secularized Western nations' reduction of Christianity to a purely cultural force- Pub Date: 3/1/2020 relegated to issues such as abortion, euthanasia and equal marriage. He illustrates $19.95 that, globally, quite the opposite has occurred: Christianity is now universalized, and Discount Code: 1A Hardcover detached from national identity. Not only has it taken hold in the Global South, generally in a more socially conservative form than in the West, but it has also 112 Pages Social Science / Sociology Of 'returned' to Europe, following immigration from former colonies. Despite attempts Religion within Europe to nationalize or even racialize it, Christianity's future is global, SOC039000 non-European and immigrant-as the continent's Churches well know.

This short but bracing book confirms Roy's reputation as one of the most acute observers of our times. It represents a persuasive and novel vision of religion's place in national life today. Contributor Bio

Olivier Roy is Professor at the European University Institute in Florence. He is the author of several highly acclaimed books on political religion, including Jihad and Death: The Global Appeal of Islamic State. Quotes

"The secularization of Europe is beyond dispute. . . . But as Olivier Roy points out in a timely book, it is a process that has taken centuries."--Financial Times

"Roy's book is both complex and powerful, detailed without ever losing sight of the big picture, and full of telling illustrations. It represents a novel vision of the crisis in secularism brought about by its final absorption of religion in national life." -- Faisal Devji, Professor of Indian History, University of Oxford, and author of Muslim Zion

"For those interested in the deep historical roots of our present political crisis, this book is a must-read. In plain language and with broad strokes, Roy traces the shifting lines of the culture wars that are rattling democracy on both sides of the Atlantic." -- Philip Gorski, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley

"Another insightful contribution to our understanding of religion in Europe from Olivier Roy. Rich in historical reference and engaging in its approach, Is Europe Christian? brings vital nuance to what is truly a poignant question today." -- Effie Fokas, Research Associate, London School of Economics Hellenic Observatory, and co-author of Religious America, Secular Europe?

350 "In Is Europe Christian? [Olivier Roy] offers little comfort to those who hope for the revival of Christian Europe. . . I commend [his] book, because it raises questions which must be faced."--A.N. Wilson, Standpoint Magazine

"Rivetingly, this unsurpassed authority on the politics of contemporary Islam turns to elucidate the tensions surrounding Christian morality, the scandal of clerical paedophilia, the libertarian individualism that has spread since the 1960s, and caricatural claims to a Christian European identity." -- Jonathan Benthall, Director Emeritus, Royal Anthropological Institute

John Hemming is a former director of the Royal Geographical Society and the author of many books, including The Conquest of the Incas. He is a renowned explorer of Amazonia and the leading authority on the history of Brazil's indigenous peoples. Quotes

"Hemming presents his hallmark combination of forensic research, vivid prose and gripping narrative to tell the compelling story of three brothers' explorations in the Amazon rainforests. [. . . ] As Brazil's new President ramps up the rhetoric that is a prelude to the further plunders the lands of the rainforests Indians, historic counterpoint is provided by a writer who is not only a fellow explorer, but also an exceptional scholar.'"--Tony Juniper, CBE, environmentalist and author of Rainforest - Dispatches From Earth's Most Vital Frontlines

"Any book by John Hemming is cause for celebration, but this is the one he was destined to write. Himself a renowned Amazonian explorer and crusader for the rights of indigenous peoples, he turns his literary lens on the legendary Villas Boas brothers, whose singular devotion to justice resulted in vast expanses of the Brazilian Amazon being set aside as the legitimate and undeniable homelands of scores of tribal nations."--Wade Davis, Amazonian botanist and National Geographic Explorer in Residence, and author of Into the Silence, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize 352 Marketing Plans Table Of Contents
