Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Isolationism A History of America's Efforts to Shield Itself from the World Charles A. Kupchan Key Selling Points • Examines isolationism across US history, considering previously overlooked but key debates from the nineteenth century • Locates isolationism's staying power in the narrative of American exceptionalism, offering a fresh interpretation of the nation's history and identity • Refurbishes isolationism's reputation, recognizing that its practice during the 1930s constituted dangerous delusion, but rediscovering the many strategic advantages it afforded the United States during its impressive ascent • Mines the nation's past to uncover the ideological and political roots of ongoing changes in US foreign policy, including the sources of Trump's "America First" doctrine • Speaks directly to the building debates over key issues: strategic retrenchment, democracy promotion, protectionism, immigration, and the domestic sources of foreign policy • Lays out a path for finding a middle ground between isolationism and overreach, 9780199393022 between doing too little and doing too much 0199393028 Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $29.95 Summary Discount Code: 02 In his Farewell Address of 1796, President George Washington admonished the young Hardcover nation "to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." 456 Pages Isolationism thereafter became one of the most influential political trends in American Political Science / Geopolitics history. From the founding era until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United POL062000 States shunned strategic commitments abroad, making only brief detours during the Spanish-American War and World War I. Amid World War II and the Cold War, Americans abandoned isolationism; they tried to run the world rather than run away from it. But isolationism is making a comeback as Americans tire of foreign entanglement. In this definitive and magisterial analysis-the first book to tell the fascinating story of isolationism across the arc of American history-Charles Kupchan explores the enduring connection between the isolationist impulse and the American experience. He also refurbishes isolationism's reputation, arguing that it constituted dangerous delusion during the 1930s, but afforded the nation clear strategic advantages during its ascent.

Kupchan traces isolationism's staying power to the ideology of American exceptionalism. Strategic detachment from the outside world was to protect the nation's unique experiment in liberty, which America would then share with others through the power of example. Since 1941, the United States has taken a much more interventionist approach to changing the world. But it has overreached, prompting Americans to rediscover the allure of nonentanglement and an America First foreign policy. The United States is hardly destined to return to isolationism, yet a strategic pullback is inevitable. Americans now need to find the middle ground between doing too much and doing too little.

2 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Medicare for All A Citizen's Guide Abdul El-Sayed, Micah Johnson Summary A citizen's guide to America's most debated policy-in-waiting

There are few issues as consequential in the lives of Americans as health care--and few issues more politically vexing. Every single American will interact with the health care system at some point in their lives, and most people will find that interaction less than satisfactory. And yet for every dollar spent in our economy, 19 cents go to health care. What are we paying for, exactly?

Health care policy is notoriously complex, but what Americans want is quite simple: good health care that's easy to use and doesn't break the bank. Polls show that as many as 70 percent of Americans want the government to provide universal health coverage to all Americans.

9780190056629 0190056622 What's less clear is how to get there. Pub Date: 2/1/2021 $19.95 Medicare for All is the leading proposal to achieve to universal health coverage in Discount Code: 02 America. But what is it exactly? How would it work? More importantly, is it practical or Hardcover practicable? 256 Pages Political Science / Public Policy POL028000 This book goes beyond partisan talking points to offer a serious examination of how Medicare for All would transform the way we give, receive, and pay for healthcare in America.

4 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Jane Austen Writing, Society, Politics Tom Keymer Key Selling Points • Introduces the six major novels of Jane Austen, a perenially popular author, as well as her other writings • Combines critical introductions to each of Austen's six major novels with the exploration of key themes of her work • Emphasizes the social and historical context of Austen's fiction, and her satirical response to her contemporary world • Explores the literary and publishing context of Austen's fiction, and discusses her technical innovations Summary It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. So runs one of the most famous opening lines in 9780198861904 English literature. Setting the scene in Pride and Prejudice, it deftly introduces the 0198861907 novel's core themes of marriage, money, and social convention, themes that continue Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $18.95 to resonate with readers over 200 years later. Discount Code: 02 Hardcover Jane Austen wrote six of the best-loved novels in the English language, as well as a 160 Pages smaller corpus of unpublished works. Her books pioneered new techniques for 9 black and white illustrations representing voices, minds, and hearts in narrative prose, and, despite some Literary Criticism / Modern LIT024040 accusations of a blinkered domestic and romantic focus, they represent the world of their characters with unsparing clarity. Here, Tom Keymer explores the major themes throughout Austen's novels, setting them in the literary, social, and political backgrounds from which they emerge, and showing how they engage with social tensions in an era dominated by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The Jane Austen who emerges is a writer shaped by the literary experiments and socio- political debates of her time, increasingly drawn to a fundamentally conservative vision of social harmony, yet forever complicating this vision through her disruptive ironies and satirical energy.

"Tom Keymer reminds us, in timely fashion, of the delights and the unexpected rewards in reading Jane Austen with close attention. He presents a writer whose output is unified and varied, who offers us puzzles and problems and who prefers exploration to polemic and eloquent silences to explanations. She questions all she sees: the novel, society, and politics. Nothing escapes her teasing, critical gaze. This is an assured and witty introduction to a subtle and complex genius and a welcome invitation to look and think again." -- Kathryn Sutherland, editor of Jane Austen: Teenage Writings "To illuminate literary greatness in a short book is a tall order. Tom Keymer's Jane 5 Austen: Writing, Society, and Politics delivers precisely that, with admirable clarity and characteristic brilliance, in a captivating style that's worthy of the author herself." -- Devoney Looser, author of The Making of Jane Austen Marketing Plans • Print and digital advertising • Society and influencer outreach • Pre-publication buzz mailing / giveaway Table Of Contents

6 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 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: 10/1/2020 $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 320 Pages start. First a publicist and then for over twenty years, publisher and editor, she has Biography & Autobiography worked with extraordinary authors: Margaret Atwood, Marilynne Robinson, Sarah / Personal Memoirs Waters, Linda Grant, Natasha Walter, Naomi Wolf and Maya Angelou among many BIO026000 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

Lennie Goodings is Chair of the UK publishing house Virago Press. Her authors include, amongst many others, Margaret Atwood, Maya Angelou, Sarah Waters, Natasha Walter, Sandi Toksvig and Marilynne Robinson. Goodings was part of Virago's management buy-out team of five who created a newly independent Virago in 1987 and became the Publishing Director in 1992. In 1995 Virago was sold to Little, Brown where Goodings remained the Publisher and Editorial Director. She stepped back from that position in 2017 and became Virago Chair, still editing and commissioning her authors. Lennie Goodings won the Bookseller's Industry Award: Editor and Imprint of the Year in 2010 and A Lifetime's Achievement at WOW, London's Southbank Women of the World festival in 2018. Born in Canada, she came to London in her early twenties and has remained there since. She is married with two children. Working with authors and books is her passion. Quotes

"An immersive, lovingly written memoir, whose story resonates beyond publishing." -- Johanna Thomas-Corr, The Sunday Times 7 "An inspiring book." -- Sarah Baxter, The Sunday Times "Moving and hugely inspiring ... As a cultural history, A Bite of the Apple is clear. As a reminder of female artists' ongoing fight for space and respect, it's necessary. As a riff on writers and writing, it's essential." -- Bidisha, The Observer "What Goodings is so good at drawing out are the interrelations between various social and political movements and their correlatives in publishing and literature. Not only does she recover Virago's story, but she loops in the narratives of various authors and movements, building up a rich and textured historical fabric ... An inspiring, entertaining and insightful read, full of the energy and fervour of hard-won wisdom." -- Seán Hewitt, The Irish Times "[Goodings'] thoughts on the great industry issues of the day are well worth reading." -- DJ Taylor, Literary Review "A Bite of the Apple feels effortless, and so alive to the conversations about women's rights today ... [Goodings'] voice is engaging and full of warmth." -- Julie Vuong, BookBrunch "Goodings' account of her life at the inkface vividly, and with immediacy, transports us from those poky London rooms where the mouse that roared was born, into the realpolitik of international publishing." -- The Sydney Morning Herald "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 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, feminist 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

"A fascinating, charming and sometimes fierce, but always beguiling memoir... A celebration of the power of women supporting women" -- Kate Mosse "Enthralling ...the best book I've read on publishing since Diana Athill's Stet" -- Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller Marketing Plans • Pre-publication buzz mailing • Print / digital advertising • Social media and online promotion • Academic outreach Table Of Contents

13 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Religion Clauses The Case for Separating Church and State Erwin Chemerinsky, Howard Gillman Key Selling Points • Presents an authoritative yet concise overview of what the Constitution says about the proper relationship between Church and State • Examines recent Court decisions on the issue within the context of increasing religious diversity in America • Considers issues now before the Supreme Court and that are likely to come before the Court in the near future • Provides both a clear description of the law with regard to the religion clauses and a discussion of what the law should be Summary Throughout American history, views on the proper relationship between the state and religion have been deeply divided.

They defend a robust view 248 Pages of both clauses and work from the premise that that the establishment clause is best Law understood, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, as creating a wall separating church LAW000000 Series: Inalienable Rights and state. After examining all the major approaches to the meaning of the Constitution's religion clauses, they contend that the best approaches are for the government to be strictly secular and for there to be no special exemptions for religious people from neutral and general laws that others must obey. In an America that is only becoming more diverse with respect to religion, this is not only the fairest approach, but the one most in tune with what the First Amendment actually prescribes. Both a pithy primer on the meaning of the religion clauses and a broad-ranging indictment of the Court's misinterpretation of them in recent years, The Religion Clauses shows how a separationist approach is most consistent with the concerns of the founders who drafted the Constitution and with the needs of a religiously pluralistic society in the 21st century.

15 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Sum of Our Dreams A History of America Louis P. Masur Key Selling Points • Written by a well-known American historian and educator • The most concise one volume history of the United States • Evaluates the origins and meanings of the country's founding ideals, offering fresh and comprehensive perspectives but letting the story tell itself Summary In The Sum of Our Dreams, Louis P. Masur offers a sweeping yet compact history of America from its beginnings to the current moment. For general readers seeking an accessible, single-volume account, one that challenges but does not overwhelm, and which distills and connects the major events and figures in the country's past in a single narrative, here is that book. Evoking Barack Obama's belief that America remains the "sum of its dreams," Masur locates the origin of those dreams-of freedom, equality, and opportunity-and traces their progress chronologically, 9780190692575 illuminating the nation's struggle over time to articulate and fulfill their promise. 019069257X Moving from the Colonial Era, to the Revolutionary Period, the Early Republic, and Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $29.95 through the Civil War, Masur turns his attention to Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, the Discount Code: 02 Progressive Age, World War One, the Great Depression, World War Two, the Cold War, Hardcover Civil Rights, Vietnam, and Watergate, and then laying out clearly and concisely what 368 Pages underlies the divisiveness that has characterized American civic life over the last forty 34 b/w images years-and now more than ever. Above all, however, Masur lets the story of American History tell itself. Inspired by James Baldwin's observation that "American history is longer, HIS000000 larger, more beautiful and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it," he expands our notion of that history while identifying its individual threads. The Sum of Our Dreams will be the new go-to single volume for anyone wanting a foundational understanding of the nation's past, and its present. Contributor Bio

18 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Crackup The Republican Implosion and the Future of Presidential Politics Samuel Popkin Key Selling Points • Shows how campaign finance reform fractured the Republican Party by weakening party leaders and fuelling the rise of uncompromising obstructionist factions within Congress • Provides the deepest structural explanation of how self-fashioned rebels like Cruz and Trump were able to emerge and dominate a formerly strong party • Explores how the GOP crackup could continue after Trump and why the Democratic party could also split in the future Summary In Crackup, the eminent American politics scholar Samuel Popkin tells the story of how the Republican Party fractured into uncompromising groups with irreconcilable demands. Changes in campaign finance laws and the proliferation of mass media opened the way for newly energized groups to split the party. The 2002 "McCain- 9780190913823 Feingold" campaign finance reform bill aimed to weaken the power of big corporations 0190913827 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 and strengthen political parties by ending corporate donations to the parties. Instead, $27.95 it weakened legislative leaders and made bipartisanship a curse word. Discount Code: 02 Hardcover Popkin argues that moving money outside the political parties fueled the rise of 320 Pages single-issue advocacy groups and Super PACs funded by billionaires with pet issues. Political Science This allowed self-promoting politicians to undermine colleagues with an POL000000 unprecedented use of tactics once only used to disrupt the other party. One such politician was Ted Cruz, the first Republican senator with the oratorical skills and intelligence to exploit the new possibilities. He effectively promoted himself at the expense of the party, mobilized other obstructionists in congress, and blocked compromises on immigration and healthcare. Into this abyss came Donald J. Trump, who took advantage of the party's inability to do anything for Republican voters struggling with economic decline. No other candidate, when forced to try to satisfy the irreconcilable demands of major donors and party leaders, could offer a credible alternative to his moon-promising bravado.

A novel structural explanation of why the GOP ended up with Trump as their standard bearer, Crackup forces us to look at the deeper forces set in motion over a decade ago. It also reveals how lone-wolf figures like Cruz are inevitable given the new rules of the game. Unless the system for financing elections changes, we will continue to see opportunists emerge--in both parties--to block intra-party compromise. Contributor Bio

But as Hardcover more and more data pour in from the most distant corners of the universe, hinting at 256 Pages bizarre stuff called "dark energy" and "dark matter," some scientists have begun to 45 grayscale line figures Science / Cosmology explore the possibility that Einstein's theory may not provide a complete picture of SCI015000 the cosmos.

This book chronicles the latest adventures of scientists as they put Einstein's theory to the test in ever more precise and astonishing ways, and in ever more extreme situations, when gravity is unfathomably intense and rapidly churning. From the explosions of neutron stars and the collisions of black holes to the modern scientific process as a means to seek truth and understanding in the cosmos, this book takes the reader on a journey of learning and discovery that has been 100 years in the making.

28 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Predict and Surveil Data, Discretion, and the Future of Policing Sarah Brayne Key Selling Points • Includes never-published, first-hand accounts of how a massive law enforcement agency leverages big data technologies to expand surveillance in the name of objective, predictive policing • Provides a new understanding of the scope of police surveillance in today's digital world • Argues that the use of big data and algorithms by police widens the scope of the criminal justice system, results in massively increased surveillance, and reinforces stereotypes and discrimination • Reveals the collaboration between public law enforcement, private data brokers, and technology companies Summary The scope of criminal justice surveillance, from the police to the prisons, has 9780190684099 expanded rapidly in recent decades. At the same time, the use of big data has spread 0190684097 Pub Date: 11/1/2020 across a range of fields, including finance, politics, health, and marketing. While law $29.95 enforcement's use of big data is hotly contested, very little is known about how the Discount Code: 02 police actually use it in daily operations and with what consequences. Hardcover

232 Pages In Predict and Surveil, Sarah Brayne offers an unprecedented, inside look at how 14 b/w illustrations police use big data and new surveillance technologies, leveraging on-the-ground Social Science / Criminology SOC004000 fieldwork with one of the most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the world-the Los Angeles Police Department. Drawing on original interviews and ethnographic observations from over two years of fieldwork with the LAPD, Brayne examines the causes and consequences of big data and algorithmic control. She reveals how the police use predictive analytics and new surveillance technologies to deploy resources, identify criminal suspects, and conduct investigations; how the adoption of big data analytics transforms police organizational practices; and how the police themselves respond to these new data-driven practices. While big data analytics has the potential to reduce bias, increase efficiency, and improve prediction accuracy, Brayne argues that it also reproduces and deepens existing patterns of inequality, threatens privacy, and challenges civil liberties.

A groundbreaking examination of big data policing, this book challenges the way we think about the data-driven supervision law enforcement increasingly imposes upon civilians in the name of objectivity, transparency, and twenty-first century policing. Contributor Bio

30 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog On Being and Becoming An Existentialist Approach to Life Jennifer Anna Gosetti-Ferencei Key Selling Points • Demonstrates the exquisite breadth of existentialism's possibilities for an authentic life, including its prospects for hope, happiness, and community • Offers a new theory of existentialism as a heterogeneous movement, one not just anchored in the Parisian Left Bank of the interwar period, but drawing from within and beyond Europe • Breaks through clichés of existential thinking and expands the prospects for existentialist authenticity • Shows existentialism to be compatible with ecological thinking Summary While existentialism has long been associated with Parisian Left Bank philosophers sipping cocktails in smoke-filled cafés, or with a brooding, angst-filled outlook on life, 9780190913656 0190913657 Gosetti-Ferencei shows how vital and heterogeneous the movement really was. Pub Date: 11/2/2020 $18.95 In this concise, accessible book, Gosetti-Ferencei offers a new vision of existentialism. Discount Code: 02 Hardcover As she lucidly demonstrates, existentialism is a rich and diverse philosophy that encourages meaningful engagement with the world around us, offering a host of 328 Pages fascinating concepts that pertain to life as we experience it. The movement was as Philosophy PHI000000 heterogeneous as it is now misunderstood, influenced by jazz music, involving diverse Series: GUIDES TO THE GOOD thinkers from around the world, challenging received ideas about the meaning of LIFE SERIES human existence. Part of the difficulty in defining existentialism is that it was never a unified philosophy, but came to identify a set of shared concerns about the meaning and possibility of human freedom, as it may be expressed in authentic choices, actions, and projects. Existentialists all explored how, in the absence of traditional reassurances about the meaning of life, we may transcend our present circumstances, and give our situation new meaning. With existentialism, concrete, lived experience of the single individual emerged from the shadow of abstract systems and long-defended traditions, and became subject-matter in its own right for philosophical inquiry. Far from solipsistic, Gosetti-Ferencei shows that existentialist attention to the human self can be intertwined with ways of conceiving the world, our being with others, the earth, and the encompassing concept of being.

Fully appreciating what existentialism has to offer requires recognizing the rich diversity of its prospects, which involve not only anxiety, absurdity, awareness of death and the loss of religious meaning, but also hope, the striving for happiness, and a sense of the transcendent. On Being and Becoming unpacks this philosophical movement's insights, and reveals how its core ideas promote creative responses to the question of life's meaning. Contributor Bio

32 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Last Assassin The Hunt for the Killers of Julius Ceasar Peter Stothard Key Selling Points • A riveting, cinematic retelling of the fate of the assassins of Julius Caesar • A unique look at the Roman Civil War from the perspective of Cassius Parmensis, the last surviving assassin Summary The final years of the Roman Republic are usually recounted from the top, through the eyes and ideals of the big winners and losers: Brutus, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Octavian. The Last Assassin tells a different story: how the lesser men lived with the greater, how Caesar's many killers were hunted down by his would-be successors, and how, after an initial amnesty, they were prosecuted, tortured, and killed. Peter Stothard's latest work follows the life of Cassius of Parma, who was the last of Caesar's assassins to be captured and killed, fourteen years after the Ides of March. His name does not appear in history books, except as an academic footnote. He is 9780197523353 only distantly related to that more famous Cassius (Gaius) to whom Shakespeare 0197523358 gave that "lean and hungry look." He is in the back row of the plotters, maybe as Pub Date: 11/1/2020 $27.95 many as eighty, many of them Caesar's friends, who killed to prevent a tyranny, Discount Code: 02 amongst many other reasons. For these fourteen years, Cassius Parmensis watched Hardcover from the wings as all the killers of Caesar died. He took part in parts of the civil wars 224 Pages which are often neglected. He was a poet whose work survives in a single line, and a History playwright whose work was said to have been stolen by and published by the man HIS000000 sent to kill him. He was a man of the Roman navy, never the senior service, who chose every side in the Empire's civil wars except the winning one. He ridiculed the future emperor in verse and foresaw his own death in a dream. Contributor Bio

34 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Being Evil A Philosophical Perspective Luke Russell Key Selling Points • Explores the philosophical thinking and psychological evidence behind the concept of 'evil' • Engages with famous examples of evildoers including serial killers, terrorists, and war criminals, as well as examples from fiction • Gives a systematic overview of the various kinds of extreme wrongdoing, and considers the core questions when thinking about evilness Summary We regularly encounter appalling wrongdoing, with the media offering a depressing parade of violent assault, rape, and murder. Yet sometimes even the cynical and world-weary amongst us are taken aback. Sometimes we confront a crime so terrible, so horrendous, so deeply wrong, that we reach for the word 'evil'. The 9/11 terrorist 9780198862079 attacks were not merely wrong, but evil. A serial killer who tortures their victims is 0198862075 not merely a bad person. They are evil. And as the Holocaust showed us, we must Pub Date: 12/1/2020 $18.95 remain vigilant against the threat of evil. But what exactly is it? If we use the word Discount Code: 02 'evil', are we buying into a naive Manichean worldview, in which two cosmic forces of Hardcover good and evil are pitted against one another? Are we guilty of demonizing our 128 Pages enemies? How does 'evil' go beyond what is merely bad or wrong? Philosophy / Good & Evil PHI008000 This book explores the answers that philosophers have offered to these questions. Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real, and is a concept that plays an important role in contemporary secular morality. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible, or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analysing the psychology behind evildoing.

Holt Key Selling Points • Provides an informed and nuanced understanding of the origins, character, and objectives of the civil rights movement • Emphasizes the aspirations and initiatives of the ordinary, grassroots people involved • Re-centers our understanding of the freedom struggle around the critical concept of "movement" Summary The civil rights movement was among the most important historical developments of the twentieth century and one of the most remarkable mass movements in American history. Not only did it decisively change the legal and political status of African Americans, but it prefigured as well the moral premises and methods of struggle for other historically oppressed groups seeking equal standing in American society. And, 9780197525791 0197525792 yet, despite a vague, sometimes begrudging recognition of its immense import, more Pub Date: 2/1/2021 often than not the movement has been misrepresented and misunderstood. For the $18.95 general public, a singular moment, frozen in time at the Lincoln Memorial, sums up Discount Code: 02 Hardcover much of what Americans know about that remarkable decade of struggle. In The Movement, Thomas C. Holt provides an informed and nuanced understanding 160 Pages of the origins, character, and objectives of the mid-twentieth-century freedom 10 History struggle, privileging the aspirations and initiatives of the ordinary, grassroots people HIS000000 who made it. Holt conveys a sense of these developments as a social movement, one that shaped its participants even as they shaped it.

38 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog A Most Peculiar Book The Inherent Strangeness of the Bible Kristin Swenson Key Selling Points • Written for religious and non-religious readers alike • Offers a new way of looking at a very familiar text • Shows that it's virtually impossible to say "what the Bible says" about anything Summary The Bible, we are constantly reminded, is the best-selling book of all time. It is read with intense devotion by hundreds of millions of people, stands as the authoritative text for Judaism and Christianity, and informs and affects the politics and lives of the 9780190651732 religious and non-religious around the world. But how well do we really know it? The 0190651733 Bible is so familiar, so ubiquitous that we have begun to take our knowledge of it for Pub Date: 2/1/2021 $24.95 granted. The Bible we think we know is a pale imitation of the real thing. Discount Code: 02 Hardcover In A Most Peculiar Book, Kristin Swenson addresses the dirty little secret of biblical 280 Pages studies-that the Bible is a weird book. It is full of surprises and contradictions, Bibles unexplained impossibilities, terrifying supernatural creatures, and heroes doing BIB000000 horrible deeds. It is far from a systematic worldview. Still Swenson notices a tendency of readers to reduce the complexities of the Bible to aphorisms, bumper stickers, and slogans. But taken as a collection of ancient stories and poetry written by multiple authors, held together by the tenuous string of tradition, the Bible often undermines our modern assumptions. What does it mean to be "unclean"? Who really killed Goliath? Does Jesus condemn nonbelievers to Hell?

Rather than dismiss the Bible as an outlandish or irrelevant relic of antiquity, Swenson leans into the messiness full-throttle, guiding her readers through a Bible that will to many feel brand new. Making ample room for discomfort, wonder, and weirdness, A Most Peculiar Book is an admirable response to the Bible's current status quo. Contributor Bio

40 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Compleat Victory Saratoga and the American Revolution Kevin Weddle Key Selling Points • Analyzes the strategic underpinnings of the historic Saratoga campaign in its entirety • Offers an in-depth analysis of key campaign decisions and the leadership insights they provide • Provides a new interpretation of George Washington's role in the American success at Saratoga Summary In the late summer and fall of 1777, after two years of indecisive fighting on both sides, the outcome of the American War of Independence hung in the balance. Having successfully expelled the Americans from Canada in 1776, the British were determined to end the rebellion the following year and devised what they believed a war-winning strategy, sending General John Burgoyne south to rout the Americans 9780195331400 and take Albany. When British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga with unexpected ease 0195331400 in July of 1777, it looked as if it was a matter of time before they would break the Pub Date: 2/1/2021 $34.95 rebellion in the North. Less than three and a half months later, however, a Discount Code: 02 combination of the Continental Army and Militia forces, commanded by Major General Hardcover Horatio Gates and inspired by the heroics of Benedict Arnold, forced Burgoyne to 336 Pages surrender his entire army. The American victory stunned the world and changed the 10 maps course of the war. History / United States HIS036030 Series: Pivotal Moments in Kevin J. Weddle offers the most authoritative history of the Battle of Saratoga to date, American History explaining with verve and clarity why events unfolded the way they did. In the end, British plans were undone by a combination of distance, geography, logistics, and an underestimation of American leadership and fighting ability. Taking Ticonderoga had misled Burgoyne and his army into thinking victory was assured. Saratoga, which began as a British foraging expedition, turned into a rout. The outcome forced the British to rethink their strategy, inflamed public opinion in England against the war, boosted Patriot morale, and, perhaps most critical of all, led directly to the Franco- American alliance. Weddle unravels the web of contingencies and the play of personalities that ultimately led to what one American general called "the Compleat Victory." Contributor Bio

42 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2020-21 Catalog Adaptation under Fire How Militaries Change in Wartime David Barno, Nora Bensahel Key Selling Points • Provides a new framework for assessing military adaptability • Offers specific recommendations on how to improve U.S. military adaptability • Weaves together history and theory to illustrate successful and failed military adaptation • Shares insights from a senior U.S. commander in Afghanistan (from 2003 to 2005) Summary Every military must prepare for future wars despite not really knowing the shape such wars will ultimately take. 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. Adaptation under Fire identifies the characteristics that make militaries more adaptable, illustrated through historical examples and the recent wars 9780190672058 in Iraq and Afghanistan. 0190672056 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $34.95 Authors David Barno and Nora Bensahel argue that militaries facing unknown future Discount Code: 1A conflicts must nevertheless make choices about the type of doctrine that their units Hardcover will use, the weapons and equipment they will purchase, and the kind of leaders they 440 Pages will select and develop to guide the force to victory. Yet after a war begins, many of History / Military these choices will prove flawed in the unpredictable crucible of the battlefield. For a HIS027060 Series: Bridging the Gap U.S. military facing diverse global threats, its ability to adapt quickly and effectively to those unforeseen circumstances may spell the difference between victory and defeat.

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.

"This is an important and timely book on the importance of adapting our military when confronted with a new enemy strategy. The authors draw on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for examples of when the commanders did not adapt their 43 strategy to the challenge posed by unconventional warfare. And it describes how success was achieved when a new commander introduced a new strategy adapted to those challenges. A well-written and interesting analysis of a subject that has become critically important to the U.S. military." -- William J. Perry, 19th U.S. Secretary of Defense "Barno and Bensahel have put their finger on the most important national security issue of our time: not terrorism, not great power competition, not AI or drones, but how the US military thinks about, and prepares for, the unknowable future. If a junior officer can read only one book on military organization, it must be this one. If our senior officers don't read this one book, our very security will be imperiled." -- Brad Carson, Congressman and former Undersecretary of the Army "Military leaders may fail to anticipate challenges or learn in advance from the experiences of other armed forces, but nothing is so fatally dangerous as failure to adapt in wartime. Barno and Bensahel are a unique soldier-scholar team who have written an important book on just that question. This is an outstanding and compelling work, grounded in recent history, that is of urgent practical as well as theoretical importance." -- Eliot A. Cohen, Dean of Johns Hopkins SAIS and co-author of Military Misfortunes: The Anatomy of Failure in War "Historically, the American military learns expensively by failure. Our current and future enemies may deny us even the time to adapt. The sharp policy recommendations Dr. Bensahel and retired General Barno offer in this excellent book would improve our military's resilience in advance--something the American military urgently needs, and that will lower the cost in blood and treasure our country pays in future wars." -- Kori Schake, Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute and editor of Warriors and Citizens: American Views of Our Military Marketing Plans • Online Promotion • Content Marketing • Social Media Marketing Table Of Contents

45 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Wendy Carlos A Biography Amanda Sewell Key Selling Points • First biography of this pioneering American composer • Based on access to archives never before cited in research on Carlos • Covers both her entire musical output and her personal life Summary With her debut album Switched-On Bach, composer and electronic musician Wendy Carlos (b. 1939) brought the sound of the Moog synthesizer to a generation of listeners, helping to effect arguably one of the most substantial changes in popular music's sound since musicians began using amplifiers. Her story is not only one of a person who blazed new trails in electronic music for decades but is also the story of a person who intersected in many ways with American popular culture, medicine, and social trends during the second half of the 20th century and well into the 21st. There is much to tell about her life and about the ways in which her life reflects many 9780190053468 dimensions of American culture. 0190053461 Pub Date: 9/2/2020 $34.95 Carlos's identity as a transgender woman has shaped many aspects of her life, her Discount Code: 1A career, how she relates to the public, and how the public has received her and her Hardcover music. Cultural factors surrounding the treatment of transgender people affected 264 Pages many of the decisions that Carlos has made over the decades. Additionally, cultural 6 photos. reception and perception of transgender people has colored how journalists, scholars, Biography & Autobiography and fans have written about Carlos and her music for decades. / Composers & Musicians BIO004000 Series: Cultural Biographies Contributor Bio

Amanda Sewell is Music Director of Interlochen Public Radio. She holds a Ph.D. in musicology from Indiana University. Quotes

"[Sewell] demonstrates that [Carlos] was as important to the success of the Moog synthesizer as the Moog was for her, that she was a pioneering artist in ambient music as well, and that she dismissed being pigeonholed for her synthesized Bach... A balanced biography that gives credit where it is due."--Kirkus "[Sewell] successfully pulls together a balanced portrait that acknowledges Carlos's unavoidable cultural status as both a pioneer of electronic music and its most famous transgender woman, while also affording due recognition to her sonic accomplishments."--The Wire

"Sewell's nuanced biography of an overlooked composer is our best look yet at this groundbreaking artist, and a reminder that art can and should speak for itself."-- Library Journal

"An essential read-not only for electronic music fans, but for anyone interested in the history of gender and popular culture."--4Columns

"Sewell's research is impeccable... an entertaining, often revelatory work, truly befitting a legend and a trailblazer."--Popmatters

47 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog One Small Candle The Story of the Plymouth Puritans and the Beginning of English New England Francis J. Bremer Key Selling Points • A synthetic history of the establishment of the Plymouth colony from an expert on Puritanism in the Atlantic world • Publishing on the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower Argues for the significance of puritanism in the development of colonial institutions and culture • Shows the influence of the Plymouth colonists on shaping the religious practices of Massachusetts and New England Summary Four hundred years ago, a group of men and women who had challenged the religious establishment of early seventeenth-century England and struggled as refugees in the Netherlands risked everything to build a new community in America. The story of those who journeyed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower has been retold many times, but the faith and religious practices of these settlers has frequently been 9780197510049 neglected or misunderstood. 0197510043 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $27.95 In One Small Candle, Francis J. Bremer focuses on the role of religion in the Discount Code: 1A settlement of the Plymouth Colony and how those values influenced political, Hardcover intellectual, and cultural aspects of New England life a hundred and fifty years before 272 Pages the American Revolution. He traces the Puritans' persecution in early seventeenth- 13 halftones century England for challenging the established national church and the difficulties History / United States they faced as refugees in the Netherlands in the 1610s. As they planted a colony in HIS036020 America, this group of puritan congregationalists was driven by the belief that ordinary men and women should play the deciding role in governing church affairs. Their commitment to lay empowerment and participatory democracy was reflected in congregational church covenants and inspired the earliest political forms of the region, including the Mayflower Compact and local New England town meetings. Their rejection of individual greed and focus on community, Bremer argues, defined the culture of English colonization in early North America.

A timely narrative of the people who founded the Plymouth Colony, One Small Candle casts new light on the role of religion in the shaping of the United States. Contributor Bio

Quotes

"This book shines a light on a period and a culture that contributed greatly to the formation of our best institutions, educational, political, and cultural. It is rare to see a historian treat the Puritans with real objectivity, allowing a generous acknowledgement of the contributions their democratic and reformist ethos made at a crucial time in our history." -- Marilynne Robinson, author of Gilead "Francis Bremer's One Small Candle is a remarkable achievement. Drawing on the latest scholarship about the Native peoples of New England and centering his narrative on the Plymouth puritans' religiosity, Bremer replaces Americans' myths about dark-garbed 'Pilgrims' and the purported 'First Thanksgiving' with a 48 well-crafted, historically accurate account of Plymouth Colony that should attract many interested readers." -- Mary Beth Norton, author of Founding Mothers & Fathers: Gendered Power and the Forming of American Society "There is no one better than Francis Bremer, after a lifetime of research on early America, to introduce an old story in an absorbingly new way. One of the great founding narratives of American life is here seen through the eyes of a scholar who leads us on a clear and accessible path and reminds us that this is a tale of two cultures meeting as much as it is an epic of Pilgrim Parents." -- Diarmaid MacCulloch, University of Oxford "Francis Bremer's definitive account of the high ideals of Plymouth Colony is a rich and moving narrative of the experiment in congregationalism that was the blueprint for a participatory democracy. In a masterly synthesis of existing scholarship, the eminent historian of New England cuts away myths about women's roles, relations with native Americans, and the links with other colonies." -- Rebecca Fraser, author of The Mayflower: The Families, the Voyage, and the Founding of America Marketing Plans • Digital advertising • Email outreach • Content marketing Table Of Contents

49 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Camera Lies Acting for Hitchcock Dan Callahan Key Selling Points • Draws upon a wealth of rarely-seen material on Hitchcock, including obscure interviews • Offers a new and visceral understanding of what Hitchcock's actors convey on screen • First book on Hitchcock to focus exclusively on his work with actors Summary The first book on Hitchcock that focuses exclusively on his work with actors

Alfred Hitchcock is said to have once remarked, "Actors are cattle," a line that has stuck in the public consciousness ever since. For Hitchcock, acting was a matter of contrast and counterpoint, valuing subtlety and understatement over flashiness. He felt that the camera was duplicitous, and directed actors to look and act conversely. 9780197515327 In The Camera Lies, author Dan Callahan spotlights the many nuances of Hitchcock's 0197515320 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 direction throughout his career, from Cary Grant in Notorious (1946) to Janet Leigh in $34.95 Psycho (1960). Delving further, he examines the ways that sex and sexuality are Discount Code: 1A presented through Hitchcock's characters, reflecting the director's own complex Hardcover relationship with sexuality. 272 Pages 25 illus. Detailing the fluidity of acting -- both what it means to act on film and how the Performing Arts / Film PER004130 process varies in each actor's career -- Callahan examines the spectrum of treatment and direction Hitchcock provided well- and lesser-known actors alike, including Ingrid Bergman, Henry Kendall, Joan Barry, Robert Walker, Jessica Tandy, Kim Novak, and Tippi Hedren. As Hitchcock believed, the best actor was one who could "do nothing well" - but behind an outward indifference to his players was a sophisticated acting theorist who often drew out great performances. The Camera Lies unpacks Hitchcock's legacy both as a director who continuously taught audiences to distrust appearance, and as a man with an uncanny insight into the human capacity for deceit and misinterpretation.

Dan Callahan is the author of Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman, Vanessa: The Life of Vanessa Redgrave, The Art of American Screen Acting, 1912-1960, and The Art of American Screen Acting, 1960 to Today.

53 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The President and Immigration Law Adam Cox, Cristina M. Rodríguez Key Selling Points • Presents a controversial, unique thesis about the relationship between the President and immigration law • Prompts cross-cutting constitutional theory and institutional design debates • Presents a novel theory of de facto delegation which will resonate in numerous other areas of law Summary When President Barack Obama announced his plans to shield millions of immigrants from deportation, Congress and the commentariat pilloried him for acting unilaterally. When President Donald Trump attempted to ban immigration from six predominantly Muslim counties, a different collection of critics attacked the action as tyrannical. Beneath this polarized political resistance lies a widely shared belief: that Congress, not the President, makes our immigration policies, dictating who can come to the United States, and who can stay, in a detailed and comprehensive legislative code. 9780190694364 019069436X In The President and Immigration Law, Adam Cox and Cristina Rodríguez shatter the Pub Date: 11/2/2020 $34.95 myth that Congress controls immigration policy. Drawing on a wide range of Discount Code: 1A sources-rich historical materials, unique data on immigration enforcement, and insider Hardcover accounts of our nation's massive immigration bureaucracy-they tell the story of how 352 Pages the President became our immigration policymaker-in-chief over the course of two Law / Emigration & Immigration centuries. From founding-era debates over the Alien and Sedition Acts to Jimmy LAW032000 Carter's intervention during the Mariel boatlift from Cuba, presidential crisis management has played an important role in this story. Far more foundational, however, has been the ordinary executive obligation to enforce the law. Over time, the power born of that duty has become the central vehicle for making immigration policy in the United States.

A pathbreaking account of the President's relationship to Congress, Cox and Rodríguez's analysis helps us better understand how the United States ended up running an enormous shadow immigration system-one in which nearly half of all noncitizens living in America are here in violation of the law. It also provides a blueprint for reform, one that accepts rather than laments the role the President plays in shaping the national community, while outlining strategies to curb the abuse of law enforcement authority in immigration and beyond.

55 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Securitarian Personality Trump's Base and American Politics in the Post-Trump Era John R. Hibbing Key Selling Points • Offers a novel theoretical claim that strong Trump supporters are driven by vigilance, not fear or authoritarianism • Draws from an original national survey that includes over 1,000 strong Trump supporters • Explains why modern politics is so intense, explosive, and polarizing and provides insight into the approaches likely to increase levels of political civility in the future • Considers what will happen to hardcore Trump supporters in the post-Trump era Summary The Authoritarian Personality, which was published by Theodor Adorno and a set of colleagues in the 1950s, was the first broad-based empirical attempt to explain why certain individuals are attracted to the authoritarian, even fascist, leaders that dominated the political scene in the 1930s and 1940s. Today, the concept has been 9780190096489 applied to leaders ranging from Trump to Viktor Orban to Rodrigo Duterte. But is it 0190096489 really accurate to label Trump supporters as authoritarians? Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $29.95 Discount Code: 1A In The Securitarian Personality, John R. Hibbing, an eminent scholar of political Hardcover psychology, argues that although authoritarian tendencies are certainly part of the 280 Pages explanation, it is not the central trait of Trump's strongest supporters. Their most Political Science / Comparative significant feature is their aversion to vulnerability. What Trump's base craves is not Politics authority, but rather a specific form of security. Drawing from an array of national POL009000 surveys and survey experiments, Hibbing shows that Trump supporters largely strive for security in the face of threats from out groups, defined broadly to include welfare cheats, unpatriotic athletes, norm violators, non-English speakers, religious and racial minorities, and foreigners. Their guiding motivation is not economic hardship, nor a desire for an authoritarian leader, but to protect themselves, their families, and their larger cultural group from these outsider threats.

A radical reinterpretation of the support for Trumpism, The Securitarian Personality not only provides insight into a political movement that many find baffling and frustrating, but offers a compelling thesis that all observers of American political behavior will have to contend with, even if they disagree with it.

57 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Future of Christian Marriage Mark Regnerus Key Selling Points • Explores how today's Christians find a mate in a world in which people are less interested in marriage • Draws on in-depth interviews with nearly 200 young-adult Christians from the United States, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Russia, Lebanon, and Nigeria Argues that the future of marriage will be a religious one Summary Marriage has come a long way since biblical times. Women are no longer property, and practices like polygamy have long been rejected. The world is wealthier, healthier, and more able to find and form relationships than ever. So why are Christian congregations doing more burying than marrying today? Explanations for the recession in marriage range from the mathematical--more women in church than men--to the economic, and from the availability of sex to progressive politics. But perhaps marriage hasn't really changed at all. Instead, there is simply less interest in 9780190064938 marriage in an era marked by technology, gender equality, and secularization. 0190064935 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $29.95 Mark Regnerus explores how today's Christians find a mate within a faith that Discount Code: 1A esteems marriage but in a world that increasingly yawns at it. This book draws on Hardcover in-depth interviews with nearly two hundred young-adult Christians from the United 288 Pages States, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Russia, Lebanon, and Nigeria, in order to understand 6 the state of matrimony in global Christian circles today. Regnerus finds that marriage Religion / Christian Life has become less of a foundation for a couple to build upon and more of a capstone. REL012050 Meeting increasingly high expectations of marriage is difficult, though, in a free market whose logic reaches deep into the home today. The result is endemic uncertainty, slowing relationship maturation, and stalling marriage. But plenty of Christians innovate, resist, and wed, and this book argues that the future of marriage will be a religious one. Contributor Bio

59 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Heart Full of Rhythm The Big Band Years of Louis Armstrong Ricky Riccardi Key Selling Points • First book to focus on Armstrong's mid-career • Includes newly published photos • Looks at the impact of black comedy on Armstrong's career • Highlights manager Joe Glaser's role in Armstrong's life Summary The first book to cover a uniquely transformative period in the life of one of the 20th century's most-lasting icons

Nearly 50 years after his death, Louis Armstrong remains one of the 20th century's most iconic figures. Popular fans still appreciate his later hits such as "Hello, Dolly!," "What a Wonderful World," and "La Vie En Rose," while in the jazz community, he remains venerated for his groundbreaking innovations in the 1920s. The achievements 9780190914110 of Armstrong's middle years, however, possess some of the trumpeter's most 0190914114 scintillating and career-defining stories. But the story of this crucial time has never Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $34.95 been told in depth--until now. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover Between 1929 and 1947, Armstrong transformed himself from a little-known 400 Pages trumpeter in Chicago to an internationally renowned pop star, setting in motion the 34 photos innovations of the Swing Era and Bebop. He had a similar effect on the art of Music / Individual Composer & American pop singing, waxing some of his most identifiable hits such as "Jeepers Musician MUS050000 Creepers," "When You're Smiling," and "When the Saints Go Marching In." Along the way, he became the first black man to host a nationally sponsored radio show and to receive featured billing in a Hollywood film. However as author Ricky Riccardi shows, Armstrong's most transformative era wasn't without its problems, from racist performance reviews and being held up at gunpoint by gangsters to struggling with an overworked embouchure and getting arrested for marijuana possession. Utilizing a prodigious amount of new research, Riccardi traces the Armstrong's mid-career fall from grace-why his career faltered; the ways in which the rise of swing and bop affected his musical approach and identity; the sacrifices he made to reenter the limelight; and the choices he made during this period that ultimately led to his resurgence as an iconic vocalist and performer whose nuance influenced the musical stylings of Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, and countless others for decades to follow.

Featuring never-before-published photographs and brand new stories culled from Armstrong's personal archives, Heart Full of Rhythm: The Big Band Years of Louis Armstrong tells the story of how the man called "Pops" became the first "King of Pop." Contributor Bio

He endured forty years in jails, Series: Graphic History Series dungeons, and presidios on both sides of the Atlantic. Juan Bautista spent two years in jail in Cusco, was freed, rearrested, and then marched 700 miles in chains over the Andes to Lima. He spent two years aboard a ship travelling around Cape Horn to Spain. Subsequently, he endured over thirty years imprisoned in Ceuta, Spain's much-feared garrison city on the northern tip of Africa. In 1822, priest Marcos Durán Martel and Maltese-Argentine naval hero Juan Bautista Azopardo arranged to have him freed and sent to the newly independent Argentina, where he became a symbol of Argentina's short-lived romance with the Incan Empire.

"Some stories, like the incredible odyssey of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, have to be seen to be believed. From his youth in the heart of the Incan Andes, where his half-brother led the massive indigenous struggle that nearly dislodged the Spanish Empire, to his decades-long exile in Spain and Morocco, where he befriended veterans of late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century revolutions and wars of independence, and, finally, to his liberation in Argentina, where he was cast as a hero and encouraged to write his memoirs, this beautifully rendered graphic account of 62 Juan Bautista's amazing journey is a vivid reminder that history offers epic dramas as riveting as any we might imagine." -- Vincent Brown, author of Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War "From unlikely protagonists, off-center pathways, and the most forgotten corners of the late colonial Spanish world, Walker and Clarke draw a vivid and compelling story." -- Kenneth Mills, University of Michigan "The life and times of an Inca 'Papillon,' witness to, and participant in the Age of Revolutions and the creation of modern Latin America. This beautifully illustrated and historically accurate graphic history of Tupac Amaru's brother and his controversial book makes this tragic history come alive." -- Stuart B. Schwartz, Yale University "Witness to the Age of Revolution is a perfect text to allow students and scholars to engage with Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru's harrowing journey. This colorful graphic edition brings alive a forgotten piece of history and will allow the reader to see and feel the towering peaks of the Andes, the violence of the revolution, and the cruelty of forty years in captivity." -- Sarah E. Owens, author of Nuns Navigating the Spanish Empire "In this riveting, original, and sumptuously illustrated book, the remarkable and surprising transatlantic life of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru is vividly reconstructed for students and scholars alike. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the Age of Revolutions." -- Gabriel Paquette, University of Oregon "Juan Bautista's compelling story of resistance and survival is re-told by a master historian and illustrated in an active and energetic style that draws the reader and the viewer deep into the world of people who fought long and hard to topple a powerful empire that once spanned the globe. Students and teachers of rebellion and revolution and anyone with an interest in Latin American and Spanish history and culture will want to follow the gripping account of this rebel and the travails that he endured attempting to free his people from imperialism. This is history as the story of action and the triumph of hope." -- Leo J.

64 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Threats From Animals to People, Society, and Countries David P. Barash Key Selling Points • Reveals how and why social responses to threats can often make threats worse • Provides insight into how to understand, navigate, and overcome some of the most crucial and pressing fears (social anxiety, gun control, death, and the afterlife) • Debunks nuclear deterrence by pointing out inconsistencies and potentially lethal flaws Summary From hurricanes and avalanches to diseases and arson, threats are everywhere. Beyond objective threats like climate change and asteroid impacts, there are also subjective threats: Situations in which individuals threaten each other or feel threatened by society. As humans, we often respond to these threats in such ways that further threaten social stability for the broader public. For example, most people respond to threats with threats. The exploration into the dynamism of threat- 9780190055295 and-response behaviors provides insight into fraught human dilemmas, including the 0190055294 fears of death, strangers, and "the other." These fears lead to other threats- Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $27.95 respectively, religious manipulation, gun culture, and right-wing nationalist populism. Discount Code: 1A Animals, too, engage with threats. This understanding opens our eyes to a world of Hardcover animalistic behaviors otherwise hidden and reveals strange and important questions 216 Pages regarding the importance of honesty versus dishonesty. Science / Life Sciences SCI027000 In this book, David P. Barash examines threats like these in an animalistic context. A detailed guide to the theory and practice by which animals (and even plants) issue threats, Barash reveals the importance of responses to threats and exposes how and why human responses can make things worse rather than better. He examines why living things aren't always benevolent. Everyone seeks to get their way-especially when threatened. The universe of threats is so widespread that we don't often realize how deeply these are engrained within us. Animals, humans, societies, and even countries all internalize threats; behind these threats lie a myriad of intriguing issues: How do we know when to take a threat seriously or when to ignore it? When do threats make things worse? When do they make things better? What can social beings do to use them wisely rather than destructively? A comprehensive and scientifically accurate exploration into questions like these, Threats illuminates the most conspicuous aspects of threats. Contributor Bio

68 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Journey into the Land of the Zeks and Back A Memoir of the Gulag Julius Margolin, Stefani Hoffman, Timothy Snyder, ... Key Selling Points • The first full English translation of a masterful Gulag memoir that preceded Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago by decades • An established classic in the Russian-speaking world that influenced the writing of Gulag memoirs after its first publication in French in 1949 and in Russian (in the United States) in 1952 • A moving, highly readable, ironic account of the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland, life in the Gulag system, and the eventual return to the West of a survivor • Features a foreword by Timothy Snyder and introduction by Katherine R. Jolluck Summary Under the Soviet regime, millions of zeks (prisoners) were incarcerated in the forced labor camps, the Gulag. There many died of starvation, disease, and exhaustion, and some were killed by criminals and camp guards. In 1939, as the Nazis and Soviets 9780197502143 invaded Poland, many Polish citizens found themselves swept up by the Soviet 0197502148 occupation and sent into the Gulag. One such victim was Julius Margolin, a Pinsk-born Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $39.95 Jewish philosopher and writer living in Palestine who was in Poland on family matters. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover Margolin's Journey into the Land of the Zeks and Back offers a powerful, first-person 600 Pages account of one of the most shocking chapters of the violent twentieth century. 8 halftones Opening with the outbreak of World War II in Poland, Margolin relates its devastating History / Europe impact on the Jews and his arrest and imprisonment in the Gulag system. During his HIS032000 incarceration from 1940 to 1945, he nearly died from starvation and overwork but was able to return to Western Europe and rejoin his family in Palestine. With a philosopher's astute analysis of man and society, as well as with humor, his memoir of flight, entrapment, and survival details the choices and dilemmas faced by an individual under extreme duress. Margolin's moving account illuminates universal issues of human rights under a totalitarian regime and ultimately the triumph of human dignity and decency.

This translation by Stefani Hoffman is the first English-language edition of this classic work, originally written in Russian in 1947 and published in an abridged French version in 1949. Circulated in a Russian samizdat version in the USSR, it exerted considerable influence on the formation of the genre of Gulag memoirs and was eagerly read by Soviet dissidents. Timothy Snyder's foreword and Katherine Jolluck's introduction contextualize the creation of this remarkable account of a Jewish world ravaged in the Stalinist empire--and the life of the man who was determined to reveal the horrors of the gulag camps and the plight of the zeks to the world. Contributor Bio

71 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog No Refuge Ethics and the Global Refugee Crisis Serena Parekh Key Selling Points • Provides an accessible and eloquent explanation of ethical approaches to the global refugee crisis • Includes numerous stories and first-person accounts from refugees • Deepens understanding of the ethical dimensions of the Global Refugee Crisis • Conveys in depth the contemporary crisis for refugees who aren't able to find refuge in any of the three options given to them--refugee camps, urban settlements, or dangerous asylum journeys • Provides original and lucid ways of thinking about our moral obligations to refugees Summary Syrians crossing the Mediterranean in ramshackle boats bound for Europe; Sudanese refugees, their belongings on their backs, fleeing overland into neighboring countries; children separated from their parents at the US/Mexico border--these are the images 9780197507995 that the Global Refugee Crisis conjures to many. In the news we often see photos of 0197507999 Pub Date: 10/1/2020 people in transit, suffering untold deprivations in desperate bids to escape their $24.95 countries and find safety. But behind these images, there is a second crisis--a crisis of Discount Code: 1A arrival. Refugees in the 21st century have only three real options--urban slums, Hardcover squalid refugee camps, or dangerous journeys to seek asylum--and none provide 280 Pages genuine refuge. Political Science / Human Rights POL035010 In No Refuge, political philosopher Serena Parekh calls this the second refugee crisis: the crisis of the millions of people who, having fled their homes, are stuck for decades in the dehumanizing and hopeless limbo of refugees camps and informal urban spaces, most of which are in the Global South. Ninety-nine percent of these refugees are never resettled in other countries. Their suffering only begins when they leave their war-torn homes. As Parekh urgently argues by drawing from numerous first- person accounts, conditions in many refugee camps and urban slums are so bleak that to make people live in them for prolonged periods of time is to deny them human dignity. It's no wonder that refugees increasingly risk their lives to seek asylum directly in the West.

Drawing from extensive first-hand accounts of life as a refugee with nowhere to go, Parekh argues that we need a moral response to these crises--one that assumes the humanity of refugees in addition to the challenges that states have when they accept refugees. Only once we grasp that the global refugee crisis has these two dimensions--the asylum crisis for Western states and the crisis for refugees who cannot find refuge--can we reckon with a response proportionate to the complexities we face. Countries and citizens have a moral obligation to address the structures that unjustly prevent refugees from accessing the minimum conditions of human dignity. As Parekh shows, there are ways we as citizens can respond to the global refugee crisis, and indeed we are morally obligated to do so. Contributor Bio

73 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Can I Believe? An Invitation to the Hesitant John G. Stackhouse Key Selling Points • Discusses the Christian Story provocatively for believers and inquirers alike • Deals with central questions raised about Christianity such as: Why is it often insisted that Jesus is the only way to God? and How do we respond to the Problem of Evil? • Provides a guide on "how to think about religion" Summary Maybe Christianity is actually true. Maybe it is what believers say it is. But at least two problems make the thoughtful person hesitate.

First, there are so many other options. How could one possibly make one's way through them to anything like a rational and confident conclusion? Second, why do so many people choose to be Christian in the face of so many reasons not to be 9780190922856 Christian? Yes, many people grow up in Christian homes and in societies, but many 0190922850 more do not. Yet Christianity has become the most popular religion in the world. Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $24.95 Why? Discount Code: 1A Paperback This book begins by taking on the initial challenge as it outlines a process: how to 224 Pages think about religion in a responsible way, rather than settling for such soft vagaries as Religion / Christian Theology "faith" and "feeling". It then clears away a number of misunderstandings from the REL067130 basic story of the Christian religion, misunderstandings that combine to domesticate this startling narrative and thus to repel reasonable people who might otherwise be intrigued.

The second half of the book then looks at Christian commitment positively and negatively. Why do two billion find this religion to be persuasive, thus making it the most popular "explanation of everything" in human history? At the same time, how does Christianity respond to the fact that so many people find it utterly implausible, especially because so many Christians insist that theirs is the only way to God and because of the problem of evil that seems to undercut everything Christianity asserts?

Grounded in scholarship but never ponderous, Can I Believe? refuses to dodge the hard questions as it welcomes the intelligent inquirer to give Christianity at least one good look. Contributor Bio

Quotes

"John Stackhouse offers a refreshing combination of intellectual rigor and personal courtesy, conceptual clarity where possible and commendable humility at the limits of our understanding. We all live at the nexus of knowledge, faith, doubt, and decision. 74 John Stackhouse provides for us an invaluable guidebook to that vexed territory." -- Hans P. Halvorson, Stuart Professor of Philosophy, Princeton University "Here is a book for everyone who wants their life to be in harmony with reality. If you are ready for your beliefs -- and your reasons for choosing them -- to be challenged to the core, then you should read this." -- Andrew Briggs, , Professor of Nanomaterials, University of Oxford "John Stackhouse strikes a brilliant balance. As a devoted Christian, he has the confidence to proselytize, yet he also has the humility to respect my intelligence, dignity, and humanity as a non-Christian. Be not afraid of his invitation. In our age of raging dogmas, who asks for simple consideration without expectation of outcome? Stackhouse, that's who. In more ways than one, this book is a counter-cultural delight." -- Irshad Manji, , Founder, Moral Courage Project "Intelligent, erudite, and witty, this book is a guide to answering with integrity the most important question of our lives: "What kind of life is worthy of our humanity?" That's the kind of "believing" Stackhouse explores: the knowledge and trust needed for embarking upon a comprehensive way of life." -- Miroslav Volf, Henry B.

75 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Russia Resurrected Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order Kathryn E. Stoner Key Selling Points • Argues that Russia is more than a regional power and that its international reach and influence, while in no way as extensive as that of the Soviet Union, are far more significant than often realized • Includes extensive primary data evaluating Russia's politics in order to show its political, economic, and social development • Shows that we too often underestimate Russia's varied abilities and intentions to influence global politics because we do not understand its purpose in doing so • Makes policy recommendations on the eve of the 2020 presidential election Summary Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nation's cards are better than we know. Russia ranks significantly behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might. 9780190860714 Yet 25 years removed from its mid-1990s nadir following the collapse of the USSR, 0190860715 Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics. Kathryn Stoner Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $29.95 assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional Discount Code: 1A means of power to assess its strength in global affairs. Taking into account how Hardcover Russian domestic politics under Vladimir Putin influence its foreign policy, Stoner 272 Pages explains how Russia has battled its way back to international prominence. Political Science / Geopolitics POL062000 From Russia's seizure of the Crimea from Ukraine to its military support for the Assad regime in Syria, the country has reasserted itself as a major global power. Stoner examines these developments and more in tackling the big questions about Russia's turnaround and global future. Stoner marshals data on Russia's political, economic, and social development and uncovers key insights from its domestic politics. Russian people are wealthier than the Chinese, debt is low, and fiscal policy is good despite sanctions and the volatile global economy. Vladimir Putin's autocratic regime faces virtually no organized domestic opposition. Yet, mindful of maintaining control at home, Russia under Putin also uses its varied power capacities to extend its influence abroad. While we often underestimate Russia's global influence, the consequences are evident in the disruption of politics in the US, Syria, and Venezuela, to name a few. Russia Resurrected is an eye-opening reassessment of the country, identifying the actual sources of its power in international politics and why it has been able to redefine the post-Cold War global order.

79 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 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: 11/1/2020 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 400 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.

Quotes

"In Churchill: A Life in the News we encounter both the bombastic and the deeply insecure sides to Churchill's complex personality. The book stands not only as a 80 testament to the effects of the media on personal leadership styles, but it forces us to reflect on how the changing media environment affects the way we are governed. It is a timely reminder of the excesses and limitations of the press in the modern political age." -- Professor Jo Fox, Institute of Historical Research "Richard Toye once again brilliantly illuminates a critical side of Winston Churchill's complex life. This original, important, and highly-readable book is teeming with shrewd judgements and fresh insights. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Churchill's political career or modern news culture." -- Christopher M.

81 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Solace Finding Value in Death through Gratitude for Life Joshua Glasgow Key Selling Points • Shows a new way of thinking about death that is positive and consoling • Re-frames existing ways of thinking about death in order to hone in on where we can find solace in death • Offers several new theories, including an examination of how we can be grateful for life's most difficult aspects Summary How can we find solace when we face the death of loved ones? How can we find solace in our own death? When philosopher Joshua Glasgow's mother was diagnosed with cancer, he struggled to answer these questions for her and for himself. Though death and immortality introduce some of the most basic and existentially compelling 9780190074302 questions in philosophy, Glasgow found that the dominant theories came up short. 0190074302 Pub Date: 11/1/2020 Recalling the last months of his mother's life, Glasgow reveals the breakthrough he $19.95 Discount Code: 1A finally arrived at for himself, from which readers can learn and find solace. When we Hardcover are grateful for life, we value all of it, and this includes death, its natural culmination. Just as we are grateful for the value in our lives, we can affirm this value in death. 128 Pages Philosophy / Metaphysics This is how to face death in a way that is both rational and comforting--in a way that PHI013000 provides solace.

Too often we think about death as nothing but a loss. But if we shift our thinking, we can focus on how the goodness of life radiates to all its parts, even to death itself. In this way, we can find solace in death without having to resort to sentimentalism, and we can do so in a way that is equally relevant for the religious and non-religious. This path to solace provides a reassuring and significant tool for those grappling with the fact that we pass away. Contributor Bio

83 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Mythologies Without End The US, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1917-2020 Jerome Slater Key Selling Points • Provides a history of the Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts from the end of WWI until today • Challenges the dominant mythologies, especially the claim that it has been the Arabs who have been primarily responsible for the various lost opportunities for peace • Brings together some of the most prominent existing literature, covering the entire history of the Arab-Israeli conflict Summary The history of modern Israel is a fiercely contested subject. From the Balfour declaration to the Six-Day War to the recent assault on Gaza, ideologically-charged narratives and counter-narratives battle for dominance not just in Israel itself but throughout the world. In the United States and Israel, the Israeli cause is treated as the more righteous one, albeit with important qualifiers and caveats. 9780190459086 0190459085 Pub Date: 11/1/2020 In Mythologies Without End, Jerome Slater, a senior scholar on the conflict and a $29.95 perceptive critic of Israel, takes stock of the conflict over time and argues that US Discount Code: 1A policies in the region are largely a product of mythologies that are often flatly wrong. Hardcover Because of their widespread acceptance, there have been devastating consequences 480 Pages to the true interests of both countries. However, the historical truth is very nearly the Political Science / Comparative converse: it is Israel and the US that have repeatedly lost, discarded, or even Politics POL009000 deliberately sabotaged many opportunities to reach fair compromise settlements of the Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. As Slater reexamines the entire history of the conflict from its onset at the end of WWI through today, he argues that a refutation of the many mythologies is a necessary first step toward solving the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Focusing on US role in the conflict, this book exposes the self-defeating policies of both the US and Israel, which have served to prolong the conflict far beyond when it should have been resolved. Contributor Bio

85 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Athens After Empire A History from Alexander the Great to the Emperor Hadrian Ian Worthington Key Selling Points • First major history of postclassical Athens in more than twenty years • Covers a longer period of time than other such histories • Explores military and philosophical history as well as socio-cultural changes Summary To many the history of post-Classical Athens is one of decline. True, Athens hardly commanded the number of allies it had when hegemon of its fifth-century Delian League or even its fourth-century Naval Confederacy, and its navy was but a shadow of its former self. But Athens recovered from its perilous position in the closing quarter of the fourth century and became once again a player in Greek affairs, even during the Roman occupation. Athenian democracy survived and evolved, even through its dealings with Hellenistic Kings, its military clashes with Macedonia, and its alliance with Rome. Famous Romans, including Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, saw 9780190633981 Athens as much more than an isolated center for philosophy. Athens After Empire 0190633980 offers a new narrative history of post-Classical Athens, extending the period down to Pub Date: 11/2/2020 $39.95 the aftermath of Hadrian's reign.

Noted for his remarkable erudition, wit, and playful pessimism, Miller here ranges over topics from personal disasters to literary and national ones.

91 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 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-led order 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: 12/1/2020 $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 392 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.

93 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog How China Loses The Pushback against Chinese Global Ambitions Luke Patey Key Selling Points • Provides the first comprehensive account of how China is struggling to expand its reach as a global power • Presents on-the-ground reporting on and analysis of how the world is responding to and even lashing back against China's rise • Challenges the idea that China's rise is leading to a West vs. Asia divide • Shows how the individual agendas of powerful Chinese corporations, policy banks, and top diplomats and officials interact with China's broader foreign policy Summary China is advancing its own interests with increasing aggression. From its Belt and Road Initiative linking Asia and Europe, to its "Made in China 2025" strategy to dominate high-tech industries, to its significant economic reach into Africa and Latin America, the regime is rapidly expanding its influence around the globe. Many fear 9780190061081 that China's economic clout, tech innovations, and military power will allow it to 0190061081 remake the world in its own authoritarian image. But despite all these strengths, a Pub Date: 1/2/2021 $29.95 future with China in charge is far from certain. Rich and poor, big and small, countries Discount Code: 1A around the world are recognizing that engaging China produces new strategic Hardcover vulnerabilities to their independence and competitiveness. 356 Pages Political Science / Geopolitics How China Loses tells the story of China's struggles to overcome new risks and POL062000 endure the global backlash against its assertive reach. Combining on-the-ground reportage with incisive analysis, Luke Patey argues that China's predatory economic agenda, headstrong diplomacy, and military expansion undermine its global ambitions to dominate the global economy and world affairs. In travels to Africa, Latin America, East Asia and Europe, his encounters with activists, business managers, diplomats, and thinkers reveal the challenges threatening to ground China's rising power.

At a time when views are fixated on the strategic competition between China and the United States, Patey's work shows how the rest of the world will shape the twenty-first century in pushing back against China's overreach and domineering behavior. Contributor Bio

95 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Middle Way Derek Chollet Key Selling Points • Explains how Americaâs most effective foreign policy presidents were the ones who listened to all sides and followed the course of prudence and balance: the middle way • Reflects on the authorâs unique experience as a senior official at the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon to show how Washington works from the 9780190092887 inside 0190092882 • Draws from new archival research at the Eisenhower and Bush presidential libraries, Pub Date: 1/2/2021 $29.95 and interviews with former Obama officials Discount Code: 1A • Reveals key foreign policy episodes from the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower, Hardcover George H.W. Bush, and Barack Obama showing how these unique leaders are more 272 Pages similar than previously thought Political Science / International Relations Summary POL011000 When thinking about America's role in world, what do Dwight Eisenhower, George H.W. Bush, and Barack Obama have in common? While divided by background, generation, and political party, they exemplify a distinct and underappreciated tradition of political leadership: The Middle Way. As the eminent foreign policy practitioner and scholar Derek Chollet shows, these presidents took a centrist-and effective-approach to foreign policy. In an era of extreme partisanship, they provide America with a model that can help serve as a guide. With so many challenges facing the US, the nation must reclaim this brand of leadership, learn from it, take pride in it, and champion it.

Looking behind the scenes of some of the most important moments in foreign policy since WWII, this timely book reveals how these presidents looked at the world and thought about leadership. By revisiting the history of Ike, Bush 41, and Obama, Chollet provides a fresh way of thinking about America. He makes a case for how we should measure the performance and define the success of a president-and the qualities it takes to be one. Through this compelling presidential history, he makes a bold, unapologetic call for our country to remember the value of centrism and change its current course.

All three presidents made mistakes, but their measured approach to foreign policymaking enhanced America's standing. They also demonstrated how the US can exercise prudent and powerful authority in the world, and they stand as exemplars of decency, humility, optimism, strength, ambition, and careful pragmatism. Together, they set the bar for the kind of global leadership we need-and they remind both Americans and the world that their proud legacy exists within us. Coming at a moment of deep crisis for America in the world, this book is a bold, unapologetic call for the foreign policy leadership our country urgently requires. Contributor Bio

97 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Making of the American Creative Class New York's Culture Workers and Twentieth-Century Consumer Capitalism Shannan Clark Key Selling Points • The definitive history of New York City's white-collar workers in the twentieth century and the city's media and culture industries • Based on extensive archival materials on the development of publishing, advertising, broadcasting, and design firms, the state of labor relations within these firms, and key figures in labor and consumer activism • Offers a chronological sweep from the mass-production of consumer culture to the economic dislocations of the 1970s and 1980s and today's media landscape Summary During the middle decades of the twentieth century, the production of America's consumer culture was centralized in midtown Manhattan to an extent unparalleled in the history of the modern United States. Within a few square miles of skyscrapers were the headquarters of networks like NBC and CBS, the editorial offices of book 9780199731626 publishers and mass circulation magazines such as Time and Life, numerous 0199731624 influential newspapers, and major advertising agencies on Madison Avenue.

While this center of 584 Pages creativity has often been portrayed as a smoothly running machine, within these 15 halftones offices many white-collar workers challenged the managers and executives who History / Social History directed their labors. HIS054000

In this definitive history, The Making of the American Creative Class examines these workers and their industries throughout the twentieth century. As manufacturers and retailers competed to attract consumers' attention, their advertising expenditures financed the growth of enterprises engaged in the production of culture, which in turn provided employment for an increasing number of clerical, technical, professional, and creative workers. The book explores employees' efforts to improve their working conditions by forming unions, experimenting with alternative media and cultural endeavors supported by public, labor, or cooperative patronage, and expanding their opportunities for creative autonomy. As blacklisting and attacks on militant unions left them destroyed or weakened, workers in advertising, design, publishing, and broadcasting in the late twentieth century were constrained in their ability to respond to economic dislocations and to combat discrimination in the culture industries.

At once a portrait of a city and the national culture of consumer capitalism it has produced, The Making of the American Creative Class is an innovative narrative of modern American history that addresses issues of earnings and status still experienced by today's culture workers. Contributor Bio

101 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Pax Transatlantica America and Europe in the post-Cold War Era Jussi M. Hanhimäki Key Selling Points • Provides a comprehensive analysis of the transatlantic relationship between Europe and the United States since the end of the Cold War Goes beyond the crisis-prone 9780190922160 headlines by highlighting the structural connections that prevail even in times of 0190922168 Pub Date: 1/2/2021 transatlantic public disagreements $29.95 • Challenges the prevailing pessimism about the direction of transatlantic relations Discount Code: 1A and the future of the "West" Hardcover • Emphasizes the difference between rhetoric and substance to provide a major 240 Pages reinterpretation of the transatlantic space as a closely connected community History HIS000000 Summary Is the West finished as a political idea? In recent years, observers have begun pointing to signs that this transatlantic community is eroding. When the European Union expanded, the classic European nation state was in decline. Now, nationalism is on the rise. Furthermore, nations within the EU are less willing to cooperate with the US on policies that require sacrifice and risks, such as using military force alongside the US. Today, following the twin shocks of Brexit and Trump's election, the concept of a unified Western transatlantic community seems to be a relic. But, in Pax Transatlantica, the international historian Jussi Hanhimäki explains why the West is far from over.

Hanhimäki argues that-despite Trump's inflammatory, dismissive rhetoric-NATO continues to provide robust security for its member states. NATO has survived by expanding its remit and scope, and it is viewed favorably by member states overall. Moreover, the transatlantic relationship boasts the richest and most closely connected transcontinental economy in the world. Despite the potential fallout from current trade wars-especially between the US and China-and the rise of economic nationalism, the West still benefits from significant transatlantic trade and massive investment flows. Lastly, Hanhimäki traces the parallel evolution of domestic politics on both sides of the Atlantic, focusing on the rise of populism. He contends that populism is not causing a rift between the US and Europe. Rather, the spread of populism evinces that their politics are in fact closely integrated.

Shifts and even crises abound in the history of the transatlantic relationship. Still, the West endures. Conflicts, rather than undermining the relationship, illustrate its resilience. Hanhimäki shows that the transatlantic relationship is playing out this cycle today. Not only will the "Pax Transatlantica" continue to exist, Hanhimäki concludes, it is likely to thrive in the future. Contributor Bio

105 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Forever Prisoners How the United States Made the World's Largest Immigrant Detention System Eliott Young Key Selling Points • Provides a broad historical frame for immigrant incarceration with individual lives and circumstances highlighted • Shows that the rate of immigrant incarceration in the early 20th century is similar to today • Reveals the many locations in which immigrants have been locked up, including immigrant detention centers, insane asylums, INS enemy camps, and prisons Summary Stories of non-US citizens caught in the jaws of the immigration bureaucracy and subject to indefinite detention are in the headlines daily. These men, women, and children remain almost completely without rights, unprotected by law and the Constitution, and their status as outsiders, even though many of have lived and worked in this country for years, has left them vulnerable to the most extreme forms 9780190085957 of state power. Although the rhetoric surrounding these individuals is extreme, the US 0190085959 government has been locking up immigrants since the late nineteenth century, often Pub Date: 1/1/2021 $34.95 for indefinite periods and with limited ability to challenge their confinement. Discount Code: 1A Hardcover Forever Prisoners offers the first broad history of immigrant detention in the United 272 Pages States. Elliott Young focuses on five stories, including Chinese detained off the coast 20 halftones of Washington in the late 1880s, an "insane" Russian-Brazilian Jew caught on a ship History / United States shuttling between New York and South America during World War I, Japanese HIS036060 Peruvians kidnapped and locked up in a Texas jail during World War II, a prison uprising by Mariel Cuban refugees in 1987, and a Salvadoran mother who grew up in the United States and has spent years incarcerated while fighting deportation. Young shows how foreigners have been caged not just for immigration violations, but also held in state and federal prisons for criminal offenses, in insane asylums for mental illness, as enemy aliens in INS facilities, and in refugee camps. Since the 1980s, the conflation of criminality with undocumented migrants has given rise to the most extensive system of immigrant incarceration in the nation's history. Today over half a million immigrants are caged each year, some serving indefinite terms in what has become the world's most extensive immigrant detention system. And yet, Young finds, the rate of all forms of incarceration for immigrants was as high in the early twentieth century as it is today, demonstrating a return to past carceral practices.

Providing critical historical context for today's news cycle, Forever Prisoners focuses on the sites of limbo where America's immigration population have been and continue to be held. Contributor Bio

107 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Psyche and Soul in America The Spiritual Odyssey of Rollo May Robert H. Abzug Key Selling Points • First biography of a bestselling author, psychoanalyst, and popular philosopher • Based on the first complete and uncensored access to May's personal papers • Figure introduced existentialism to American therapeutic practice Summary In post-World War II America and especially during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, the psychologist Rollo May contributed profoundly to the popular and professional response to a widely felt sense of personal emptiness amid a culture in crisis. May addressed the sources of depression, powerlessness, and conformity but also mapped a path to restore authentic individuality, intimacy, creativity, and community. A psychotherapist by trade, he employed theology, philosophy, literature, and the arts to answer a central enduring question: "How, then, shall we live?"

9780199754373 Robert Abzug's definitive biography traces May's epic life from humble origins in the 0199754373 Protestant heartland of the Midwest to his longtime practice in New York City and his Pub Date: 2/1/2021 $34.95 participation in the therapeutic culture of California. May's books--Love and Will, Discount Code: 1A Man's Search for Himself, The Courage to Create, and others--as well as his Hardcover championing of non-medical therapeutic practice and introduction of Existential 384 Pages psychotherapy to America marked important contributions to the profession. Most of 30 hts all, May's compelling prose reached millions of readers from all walks of life, finding History / United States their place, as Noah Adams noted in his NPR eulogy, "on a hippy's bookshelf." And HIS036060 May was one of the founders of the humanistic psychology movement that has shaped the very vocabulary with which many Americans describe their emotional and spiritual lives.

Based on full and uncensored access to May's papers and original oral interviews, Psyche and Soul in America reveals his turbulent inner life, his religious crises, and their influence on his contribution to the world of psychotherapy and the culture beyond. It adds new and intimate dimensions to an important aspect of America's romance with therapy, as the site for the exploration of spiritual strivings and moral dilemmas unmet for many by traditional religion.

109 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Innovation in Real Places Strategies for Prosperity in an Unforgiving World Dan Breznitz Key Selling Points • Explains what innovation is, what is isn't, and how to create a regional strategy for innovation that benefits as many people as possible • Shatters the myth that fostering tech-centered innovation is the only path forward • Shows how to avoid innovation policy that rewards the wealthy but is unhelpful and possibly harmful for the majority of the population • Examines second-tier cities from around the world to show how they can innovate in their own unique way and increase both local growth and broad-based prosperity Summary Across the world, cities and regions have wasted trillions of dollars on blindly copying the Silicon Valley model of growth creation. Since the early years of the information 9780197508114 age, we've been told that economic growth derives from harnessing technological 0197508111 innovation. To do this, places must create good education systems, partner with local Pub Date: 2/1/2021 research universities, and attract innovative hi-tech firms. We have lived with this $29.95 Discount Code: 1A system for decades, and the result is clear: a small number of regions and cities at Hardcover the top of the high-tech industry but many more fighting a losing battle to retain

288 Pages economic dynamism. Social Science / Developing & Emerging Countries But are there other models that don't rely on a flourishing high-tech industry? In SOC042000 Innovation in Real Places, Dan Breznitz argues that there are. The purveyors of the dominant ideas on innovation have a feeble understanding of the big picture on global production and innovation. They conflate innovation with invention and suffer from techno-fetishism. In their devotion to start-ups, they refuse to admit that the real obstacle to growth for most cities is the overwhelming power of the real hubs, which siphon up vast amounts of talent and money. Communities waste time, money, and energy pursuing this road to nowhere. Breznitz proposes that communities instead focus on where they fit in the four stages in the global production process. Some are at the highest end, and that is where the Clevelands, Sheffields, and Baltimores are being pushed toward. But that is bad advice. Success lies in understanding the changed structure of the global system of production and then using those insights to enable communities to recognize their own advantages, which in turn allows to them to foster surprising forms of specialized innovation. As he stresses, all localities have certain advantages relative to at least one stage of the global production process, and the trick is in recognizing it. Leaders might think the answer lies in high-tech or high-end manufacturing, but more often than not, they're wrong. Innovation in Real Places is an essential corrective to a mythology of innovation and growth that too many places have bought into in recent years. Best of all, it has the potential to prod local leaders into pursuing realistic and regionally appropriate models for growth and innovation. Contributor Bio

111 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog A Holy Baptism of Fire and Blood The Bible and the American Civil War James P. Byrd Key Selling Points • Offers a new perspective on the crucial role the Bible played in the Civil War • Examines the intersection of religious and military conflict in early American history • Uses a wide array of sources to identify the most popular scripture during the Civil War Summary In his Second Inaugural Address, delivered as the nation was in the throes of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that both sides "read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other." He wasn't speaking metaphorically: the Bible was frequently wielded as a weapon in support of both

9780190902797 North and South. 0190902795 Pub Date: 2/1/2021 As James P. Byrd reveals in this insightful narrative, no book was more important to $34.95 the Civil War than the Bible. From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible Discount Code: 1A Hardcover was the nation's most read and respected book. It presented a drama of salvation and damnation, of providence and judgment, of sacred history and sacrifice. When 352 Pages History / United States Americans argued over the issues that divided them -- slavery, secession, patriotism, HIS036050 authority, white supremacy, and violence -- the Bible was the book they most often invoked. Soldiers fought the Civil War with Bibles in hand, and both sides called the war just and sacred. In scripture, both Union and Confederate soldiers found inspiration for dying-and for killing-on a scale never before seen in the nation's history. With approximately 750,000 fatalities, the Civil War was the deadliest of the nation's wars, leading many to turn to the Bible not just to fight but to deal with its inevitable trauma.

A fascinating overview of religious and military conflict, A Holy Baptism of Fire and Blood draws on an astonishing array of sources to demonstrate the many ways that Americans enlisted the Bible in the nation's bloodiest, and arguably most biblically- saturated conflict. Contributor Bio

In short they controlled the business of the Enlightenment itself, and at a crucial moment in history. Outside of France, however, works by these authors were pirated, republished, and distributed to a broader public. Rather than depress the publishing industry, then in its infancy, book piracy vastly 9780195144529 expanded its reach. 019514452X Pub Date: 2/1/2021 $34.95 Robert Darnton offers a richly detailed and sweeping study of the world of writing, Discount Code: 1A publishing, and bookselling in pre-Revolutionary France, expanding on his celebrated Hardcover works devoted to the literary world of the Ancien Régime, Forbidden Bestsellers of 416 Pages Pre-Revolutionary France and, most recently, A Literary Tour de France.

115 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog A History of the Church through its Buildings Allan Doig Summary A History of the Church through its Buildings takes the reader to meet people who lived through momentous religious changes in the very spaces where the story of the Church took shape. Buildings are about people, the people who conceived, designed, financed, and used them. Their stories become embedded in the very fabric itself, and as the fabric is changed through time in response to changing use, relationships, and beliefs, the architecture becomes the standing history of passing waves of humanity.

This process takes on special significance in churches, where the arrangement of the space places members of the community in relationship with one another for the performance of the church's rites and ceremonies. Moreover, architectural forms and building materials can be used to establish relationships with other buildings in other places and other times. Coordinated systems of signs, symbols, and images proclaim beliefs and doctrine, and in a wider sense carry extended narratives of the people and their faith. 9780199575367 0199575363 Pub Date: 2/1/2021 Looking at the history of the church through its buildings allows us to establish a $39.95 tangible connection to the lives of the people involved in some of the key moments Discount Code: 1A and movements that shaped that history, and perhaps even a degree of intimacy with Hardcover them.

117 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog What's Luck Got To Do With It? Rescuing the American Dream through Smarter Government Edward D Kleinbard Key Selling Points • Provocative rethinking of the proper role of government in America • Highlights the importance of luck in the lives of Americans-and how that creates unfairness • Stresses the importance of fairness and opportunity for all Americans • Features pragmatic policies that will make America more inclusive and invigorate the economy Summary America's economy is unfair; its politics unjust; its society unbalanced. Many people believe this across ideological divides. They differ on the reasons why and, not surprisingly, what should be done about it. Is there any room for common ground?

Edward D. Kleinbard says yes. He argues that underlying all these crises are instances 9780190943578 of systematic bad luck that deprive Americans of genuine equality of opportunity. We 0190943572 Pub Date: 2/1/2021 cannot control whether we are born to rich or poor parents, yet differences in wealth $29.95 have radical implications for health, lifetime incomes, mobility within and across Discount Code: 1A generations, and our sense of satisfaction with our lives and our country. Once we Hardcover recognize this, we can agree on ways to diminish the importance of luck and increase 272 Pages the role of opportunity. Political Science / Comparative Politics POL009000 What's Luck Got to Do With It? combines insights from economics, philosophy, religion, and social psychology to argue that the government's proper role is addressing the unfairness and injustice of brute luck. Kleinbard shows that well designed public insurance against existential bad luck can mitigate today's inequality gap by sharing the costs across the entire risk pool, which is to say, all of us. For example, through comprehensive public investments in better education-in human capital-we offer millions of young people figurative insurance against the bad luck of not being born into an affluent, highly-educated household. The benefits paid by insurance result in a more inclusive economy, greater national income, a broader sharing of growth, and greater life satisfaction for millions of Americans.

Like it or not, our lives and opportunities are determined largely by luck. Kleinbard shows that while we can't undo every instance of misfortune, we can offer a path to not just a fairer America, but greater economic growth, more broadly shared. Contributor Bio

119 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Whitman in Washington Becoming the National Poet in the Federal City Kenneth M. Price Summary During Walt Whitman's decade in Washington, DC, 1863-1873, he labored intensely, at times seeming to have three lives at once. He wrote the most distinguished journalism of his career; came into his own as a writer of letters; crafted memorable Civil War poetry, Drum-Taps and Sequel to Drum-Taps and later folded it into heavily revised and expanded versions of Leaves of Grass; and produced his searching but also flawed critique of American culture, Democratic Vistas. Whitman's work through the first three editions of Leaves often receives the highest praise, yet his writing in the Washington years is exceptional, too, by any reckoning--and is all the more remarkable given that he also cared for thousands of wounded and sick soldiers in Washington hospitals, serving as an attentive visitor. In addition, he served as a government clerk in various positions, most notably in the attorney general's office when much was accomplished on the road toward a multi-racial democracy including efforts to suppress the Ku Klux Klan, and much was also missed (both by the attorney

9780198840930 general's office and by Whitman) in the efforts to advance a more just and vibrant 0198840934 union. Pub Date: 2/1/2021 $29.95 This book analyses Whitman's integrated life, writings, and government work in his Discount Code: 1A Hardcover urban context to re-evaluate the writer and the nation's capital in a time of transformation. Drawing on an expanded Whitman corpus, including nearly 3,000 224 Pages 33 Illustrations Whitman documents the author recently identified in the National Archives, Whitman Literary Criticism / Modern in Washington demonstrates that the power of Whitman's Civil War and LIT024040 Reconstruction writing emerges, more fully than we could ever before have imagined, from his intimate knowledge of the capital city, its bureaucracies, and its tumultuous post-war history.

What is the source of its magnetic appeal? How did the centre of London become Theatreland? London's West End, 1800-1914 is the first ever history of the area which has enthralled millions. The reader will discover the growth of theatres, opera houses, galleries, restaurants, department stores, casinos, exhibition centres, night clubs, 9780198823414 street life, and the sex industry.

Discount Code: 01 During the nineteenth century, an area that serviced the needs of the aristocracy was Hardcover opened up to a wider public whilst retaining the imprint of luxury and prestige. 368 Pages History / Social History Rohan McWilliam tells the story of the great artists, actors and entrepreneurs who HIS054000 made the West End: figures such as Gilbert and Sullivan, the playwright Dion Boucicault, the music hall artiste Jenny Hill, and the American Harry Gordon Selfridge who wanted to create the best shop in the world. At the same time, McWilliam explores the distinctive spaces created in the West End, from the glamour of Drury Lane and Covent Garden, through to low life bars and taverns. We encounter the origins of the modern star system and celebrity culture. London's West End, 1800-1914 moves from the creation of Regent Street to the glory days of the Edwardian period when the West End was the heart of empire and the entertainment industry. Much of modern culture and consumer society was shaped by a relatively small area in the middle of London. This pioneering study establishes why that was. Contributor Bio

Americans today encounter ruins in the media on a daily basis--images of abandoned factories and malls, toxic landscapes, devastating fires, hurricanes, and floods. In this sweeping study, Miles Orvell offers a new understanding of the spectacle of ruins in 9780190491604 US culture, exploring how photographers, writers, painters, and filmmakers have 0190491604 Pub Date: 2/1/2021 responded to ruin and destruction, both real and imaginary, in an effort to make $45.00 sense of the past and envision the future. Discount Code: 01 Hardcover Empire of Ruins explains why Americans in the nineteenth century yearned for the 256 Pages ruins of Rome and Egypt and how they portrayed a past as ancient and mysterious in 80 color illustrations the remains of Native American cultures. As the romance of ruins gave way to History / United States HIS036010 twentieth-century capitalism, older structures were demolished to make way for grander ones, a process interpreted by artists as a symptom of America's "creative destruction." In the late twentieth century, Americans began to inhabit a perpetual state of ruins, made visible by photographs of decaying inner cities, derelict factories and malls, and the waste lands of the mining industry. This interdisciplinary work focuses on how visual media have transformed disaster and decay into spectacles that compel our moral attention even as they balance horror and beauty. Looking to the future, Orvell considers the visual portrayal of climate ruins as we face the political and ethical responsibilities of our changing world.

A wide-ranging work by an acclaimed urban, cultural, and photography scholar, Empire of Ruins offers a provocative and lavishly illustrated look at the American past, present, and future. Contributor Bio

Kornblith Key Selling Points • Uniquely focuses on the experiences of older cancer survivors • In-depth and broad examination of cancer's medical, physical, psychological, spiritual, and social impact • Includes perspectives from all phases of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment Summary Improved cancer treatment and survival rates have resulted in a growing number of cancer survivors who live years, and even decades, after their cancer diagnosis. Insights into what the experience of cancer survivorship looks like and how it can be navigated are much sought after by cancer survivors and their families, loved ones, and communities as they chart this unfamiliar and often lonely territory.

Approximately 53% of cancer patients are diagnosed when 65 years or older, yet no 9780190902032 attempt to explore the experience of older cancer survivors has been made. Dr. Alice. 0190902035 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 Kornblith, an esteemed social psychologist with extensive experience working with $19.95 cancer patients, aims to address this need in Older Survivors of Cancer: Feeling Discount Code: 03 Understood by Sharing Experiences.

Alice B. Kornblith, PhD is a Social Psychologist whose area of interest over the past 20 years has been the quality of life of cancer patients with a special focus on the older patient. Much of her career involved examining cancer patients' quality of life while on clinical (treatment) trials. More recently, she has turned her attention to listening to older cancer patients' own words concerning the impact of cancer on their lives. Quotes

"Older Survivors of Cancer: Feeling Understood by Sharing Experiences is an important book in that it addresses the issues that older people face as they move forward from a diagnosis of cancer. All too often the struggles that people over 65 years of age deal with are dismissed and overlooked. This book also speaks to the vital concerns of minority and underserved populations of cancer survivors whose voices all too often go unheard. The power of sharing the stories of older cancer survivors provides solace from the aloneness and lack of understanding that can be the experience of older survivors of cancer." --Cheryl Krauter, MFT, Author of Surviving the Storm: A Workbook for Telling Your Cancer Story and Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors: A Clinician's Guide and Workbook for Providing Wholehearted Care

128 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 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: 9/1/2020 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 328 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

130 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 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: 9/2/2020 $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

134 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Antisocial Media How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy Siva Vaidhyanathan Key Selling Points • Offers a number of proposals to attack the problems social media poses to our society • Explains how social media is undermining progress and thought • Provides the first comprehensive account of the effects that Facebook has had on our lives and our world Summary If you wanted to build a machine that would distribute propaganda to millions of people, distract them from important issues, energize hatred and bigotry, erode social trust, undermine respectable journalism, foster doubts about science, and engage in massive surveillance all at once, you would make something a lot like Facebook. Of course, none of that was part of the plan. In this fully updated paperback edition of Antisocial Media, Siva Vaidhyanathan explains how Facebook devolved from an 9780190056544 innocent social site hacked together by Harvard students into a force that, while it 0190056541 may make personal life just a little more pleasurable, makes democracy a lot more Pub Date: 9/1/2020 challenging. It's an account of the hubris of good intentions, a missionary spirit, and $17.95 Discount Code: 03 an ideology that sees computer code as the universal solvent for all human problems. Paperback And it's an indictment of how "social media" has fostered the deterioration of democratic culture around the world, from facilitating Russian meddling in support of 288 Pages Language Arts & Disciplines Trump's election to the exploitation of the platform by murderous authoritarians in / Communication Studies Burma and the Philippines. Both authoritative and trenchant, Antisocial Media shows LAN004000 how Facebook's mission went so wrong. Contributor Bio

Siva Vaidhyanathan is the Robertson Professor of Media Studies and the Director of the Center for Media and Citizenship at the University of Virginia. He produces a local public-affairs television program and several podcasts, and he directs the publication of Virginia Quarterly Review. A former professional journalist, he has published five previous books on technology, law, and society, including The Googlization of Everything. He has also contributed to publications such as The Nation, Slate, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Washington Post, BookForum, The New York Times Book Review, and The Baffler. Quotes

"Fortunately, finally, we seem ready to have the necessary conversations about how social media has changed our hearts and minds and politics, including the hard conversations. And this is the right book for our moment. It lays out, in crisp, compelling language, why Facebook may be good for some individuals but not good for democracy. Antisocial Media is not negative or defeatist. But it does not sugarcoat the facts. We can only remake technology to conform to new social values if we do the hard work of committing to what they are. That's a problem that Facebook can't solve. This is history, philosophy, and a call to action." -Sherry Turkle, Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology, MIT, and author of Reclaiming Conversation and Alone Together

"Hello, reader. Do you use Facebook? Do you see it more times in a given day than you, say, drink a glass of water? If so, I suggest you find out from Siva Vaidhyanathan to what it is that you've given not only yourself, but also your crucial little portion of our world. He's the one who can tell you." -Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and Fortress of Solitude

135 "As a San Franciscan, I've had a front-row seat for the rise of Silicon Valley as a global power, and what the glossy new oligarchs have brought us terrifies me, as has the widespread obliviousness to the consequences of their new systems of information control. It's made me enormously grateful for Siva Vaidhyanathan, who set out after the election to dissect exactly how Facebook had helped corrupt our minds, our culture, our elections, and our governments. His scathing conclusions here should both chill you and equip you to face the perils the new information megacorporations pose to each and all of us." -Rebecca Solnit, author of Hope in the Dark

"An eye -opening and provocative examination of the unintended consequences that this tech giant inflicted on the global community it created." --Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Cyberwar

"Facebook's plan to connect the world has backfired. Democratic societies are unraveling everywhere. Conflict is trumping community, suspicion is undermining trust. Antisocial Media is the best account of how and why the world's leading tech firms have contributed to this crisis, here and across the globe. Vaidhyanathan's message is not merely necessary; it's urgent." --Eric Klinenberg, Professor of Sociology at NYU and author of Palaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life

"Vaidhyanathan does have some solutions in mind, but they are not the simple tweaks Facebook proposes. There's no way at this point to reengineer a platform that rewards hasty, emotional, shallow engagement or moderates content to ensure two billion people behave themselves. We need to work across borders to make these steps multinational if not global. And we need to do it soon. The lamps are going out all over Europe again, and far beyond." -- Barbara Fister, Inside HigherEd

"In "Antisocial Media," University of Virginia professor Siva Vaidhyanathan gives a full and rigorous accounting of Facebook's sins. Much of the criticism will be familiar to anyone who has been following the news about the company. What distinguishes the book is Vaidhyanathan's skill in putting the social media phenomenon into a broader context - legal, historical and political." -- Nicholas Carr, The Washington Post "In a post-Cambridge Analytica, post-Donald Trump election world, Vaidhyanathan's book [Antisocial Media] is a critique of the "Facebook machine" and the ways it operates on users in terms of "pleasure, surveillance, attention, protest, politics, and disinformation." - Express Newspaper Service, The Indian Express "Vaidhyanathan has written a structured response to the behemoth that is Facebook. He acknowledges all the rhetorically valid ways in which Facebook might offer emotionally fulfilling interactions (the author himself is a user), but he buttresses these emotive motivations with close readings of the filter bubble, monetization of all transactions on the platform, and even the inherent vice of "good" business... Verdict: Ideal for readers who live in the world of social media who want to put these platforms into context." --Jesse A. Lambertson, Library Journal "An excellent critique of the social media giant underlines the threat it poses to us all - and suggests how it can be tamed. -- John Naughton, The Guardian

"With 30 per cent of the world's population on Facebook, Vaidhyanathan contends that the platform could become the operating system of our lives. And while it's fun to catch up with old school friends, its "mediated cacophony" is a powerful tool for the vocal minority to quickly subvert silent majorities. Zuckerberg himself is curiously complacent. Facebook, he says, "is just too big to govern. We are victims of its success." -- Nick Smith, Engineering & Technology

"This thoroughly researched and persuasively argued account of social media's noxious effects on the very fabric of society is the first study of its kind: a trenchant analysis of Facebook's unwholesome side effects. It needed saying, and it's supremely well said." - Juanita Coulson, The Lady Marketing Plans 136 • Digital advertising • Email outreach • Content marketing Table Of Contents

137 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Reckonings Legacies of Nazi Persecution and the Quest for Justice Mary Fulbrook Key Selling Points • Written by one of the world's most respected scholars on the Holocaust • Evokes the multigenerational legacy of Nazi violence among perpetrators including German businesses that used slave labor (to this day paying only symbolic reparations) and those who ran the agencies that early on euthanized German children, elderly, and the infirm--the basis for the horrors to follow • Accounts for the various forms of persecution throughout Germany and beyond, including regions where perpetrators were put on trial and those where they evaded responsibility Summary Winner of the Wolfson History Prize 2019

9780197528457 Shortlisted for the 2019 Cundill History Prize 0197528457 Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $29.95 A single word--"Auschwitz"--is sometimes used to encapsulate the totality of Discount Code: 01 persecution and suffering involved in what we call the Holocaust. Yet focusing on a Paperback single concentration camp, however horrific the scale of crimes committed there, 672 Pages leaves an incomplete story, truncates a complex history and obscures the continuing 40 b/w images legacies of Nazi crimes. History / Holocaust HIS043000 Mary Fulbrook's encompassing book explores the lives of individuals across a full spectrum of suffering and guilt, each one capturing one small part of the greater story. Using "reckoning" in the widest possible sense to evoke how the consequences of violence have expanded almost infinitely through time, from early brutality through programs to euthanize the sick and infirm in the 1930s to the full functioning of the death camps in the early 1940s, and across the post-war decades of selective confrontation with perpetrators and ever-expanding commemoration of victims, Fulbrook exposes the disjuncture between official myths about "dealing with the past" and the extent to which the vast majority of Nazi perpetrators evaded responsibility. In the successor states to the Third Reich -- East Germany, West Germany, and Austria -- prosecution varied widely. Communist East Germany pursued Nazi criminals and handed down severe sentences; West Germany, caught between facing up to the past and seeking to draw a line under it, tended toward selective justice and reintegration of former Nazis; and Austria made nearly no reckoning at all until the mid-1980s, when news broke about Austrian presidential candidate Kurt Waldheim's past. The continuing battle with the legacies of Nazism in the private sphere was often at odds with public remembrance and memorials.

Following the various phases of trials and testimonies, from those immediately after the war to those that stretched into the decades following, Reckonings illuminates shifting public attitudes toward both perpetrators and survivors, and recalibrates anew the scales of justice. Contributor Bio

Mary Fulbrook is Professor of German History at University College London and the author of the Fraenkel Prize-winning A Small Town near Auschwitz: Ordinary Nazis and the Holocaust. Quotes

"Perhaps now, generations after the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime, it's time to take measure of what has happened to the perpetrators, the victims, and the 138 few survivors. Fulbrook does just that. The author effectively describes the brutal Germanic efficiency in the industrialized murder of homosexuals, "asocials," and, overwhelmingly, Jews. Throughout her substantial text, Fulbrook movingly vivifies her outstanding research with individual histories... As they read this important contribution to Holocaust studies, especially now in the time of neo-Nazis, readers may wonder, is it all in the past? An astute, significant academic study of how civilization can go horribly wrong." -- Kirkus

"This book is required reading for anyone wishing to understand not why the Holocaust happened by how it happened, and how the vast majority of the perpetrators got away with it. Fulbrook's research on Nazi crimes on the local level and on family strategies of silence and selective remembering adds a delicacy and sensitivity to a subject so dark as to be almost unbearable to contemplate. This is humane scholarship at the highest level." -- Jay Winter, Yale University

"Across the world, West Germany is frequently extolled as a model of 'confronting the past'. Fulbrook's contention is that it largely failed during the lifetimes of the victims and their persecutors, and only began to alter the whole culture of discussion over the following two generations. What makes Fulbrook's achievement so extraordinary is her ability to balance the individual voices against the conditioning effects of state power and a social ethos, in which German judges in the 1960s and 70s frequently doubted the reliability of Jewish witnesses, while taking former SS men at their word. This is a magisterial book, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarly endeavor-not just in the sense of the knowledge and framing which Fulbrook has to offer, but also in that deeper and more profound sense of her historical judgment. Essential reading." -- Nicholas Stargardt, author of The German War: A Nation under Arms

"Fulbrook's remarkable achievement is to weave together the history of mass murder with the woeful story of selective post-war justice, an exploration of the painful legacies of Nazi crimes for survivors and a dissection of individual perpetrators' strategies of avoidance. In the process, she vividly evokes overlooked locations and episodes in the history of the Holocaust and unearths extraordinary personal stories. In highlighting the disjunctures between different dimensions of 'reckoning' in the decades since 1945, she offers a powerfully-argued critique of current commemorative practices and poses challenging questions for the future." -- Elizabeth Harvey, University of Nottingham

"Evocative and engaging, Britain's foremost scholar of post-1945 German history offers us a pioneering study of memory, identity, and representation, one that moves innovatively beyond stone monuments and pure politics, beyond facile dichotomies of victim and perpetrator." -- Andrew I. Port, author of Conflict and Stability in the German Democratic Republic and editor of Central European History

"Reckonings is a work of expert scholarship and profound moral energy from of one of Britain's most distinguished historians of Nazi Germany. It is not just another history of the Holocaust or the long shadows it has cast, but a complex alloy of history and memory, experience, testimony and denial, and is shot through with deep compassion as well as unsparing historical judgment." -- Jane Caplan, Professor Emeritus of Modern European History, University of Oxford

Extraordinary well-researched, filled with heartbreaking, heroic and harrowing life stories, "Reckonings is comprehensive, cogent and compelling. Fulbrook's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the realities - and the legacies - of the Nazi Past." -- Glenn C. Altschuler, The Jerusalem Post

"This is an important book for those readers interested in the Holocaust or genocides more generally, and, its many pages of extensive research offer information and insights to readers with varying degrees of knowledge of the Nazi extermination programme139 and the prosecution of its perpetrators in the post-war period." -- Paul Bookbinder, European History Quarterly Table Of Contents

140 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Globotics Upheaval Globalization, Robotics, and the Future of Work Richard Baldwin Key Selling Points • Compelling analysis of how a new form of globalization will combine with software robots to disrupt service-sector and professional jobs in the same way automation and trade disrupted manufacturing jobs in the past • Puts today's disruption in the context of two historical cycles where technological impulses produced economic transformations, upheavals, backlashes, and resolutions • Provides a concise overview of what types of jobs will be affected by software robots and pervasive translation that open new opportunities for outsourcing to tele-migrants • Argues persuasively that future jobs will be more human and involve more face-to-face contact since software robots and tele-migrants will do everything else Summary At the root of inequality, unemployment, and populism are radical changes in the 9780197518618 world economy. Digital technology is allowing talented foreigners to telecommute into 0197518613 our workplaces and compete for service and professional jobs.

Computing power is Paperback dissolving humans' monopoly on thinking, enabling AI-trained computers to compete 304 Pages for many of the same white-collar jobs. The combination of globalization and robotics Business & Economics / Labor is creating the globotics upheaval, and it threatens the very foundations of the liberal BUS038000 welfare-state.

Richard Baldwin, one of the world's leading globalization experts, argues that the inhuman speed of this transformation threatens to overwhelm our capacity to adapt. From computers in the office to automatic ordering systems in restaurants, we are familiar with the how digital technologies offer convenience while also eliminating jobs. Globotics will disrupt the lives of millions of white-collar workers much faster than automation, industrialization, and globalization disrupted the lives of factory workers in previous centuries. The result will be a backlash. Professional, white-collar, and service workers will agitate for a slowing of the unprecedented pace of disruption, as factory workers have done in years past.

Baldwin argues that the globotics upheaval will be countered in the short run by "shelter-ism" - government policies that shelter some service jobs from tele-migrants and thinking computers. In the long run, people will work in more human jobs-activities that require real people to use the uniquely human ability of independent thought-and this will strengthen bonds in local communities. Offering effective strategies such as focusing on the social value of work, The Globotics Upheaval will help people prepare for the oncoming wave of an advanced robotic workforce. Contributor Bio

Richard Baldwin is Professor of International Economics at the Graduate Institute (Geneva), and Founder of VoxEU.org. He advises governments and international organizations around the world on globalization and trade policy issues, having served as a Senior Staff Economist for President George Bush's Council of Economic Advisors. His last book was The Great Convergence: Information Technology and the New Globalization. Quotes

"This speculative book attempts to describe the future of work and explain how to 141 prepare for it. Baldwin lays out various different attributes of working life, according to the different talents and industries involved." -- Richard N. Cooper, Foreign Affairs "Richard Baldwin has written the best book yet on the new economic era we are entering. Any worker, company or government who doesn't want to be left behind should read and consider his arguments." -- Lawrence H. Summers "With its focus on the scale, speed and scope of technological transformation, and its impact on employment, this book breaks new ground." -- Gordon Brown, UK Prime Minister, 2007-2010 "Baldwin presents a compelling view of the future of work and the serious challenges ahead while there is still time to prepare. He wisely argues that we must protect workers, without necessarily protecting specific jobs as they become outdated, and that we must do more to help those who've been displaced by technology reenter the workforce and offer such individuals a strong safety net along the way."--Science magazine

"An important new book that delivers a timely warning to the world's business elite . . . confirms his place as one of the most important thinkers in this era of global disruption." --James Crabtree, Financial Times "'It might just save your life -- and your children's lives.The Globotics Upheaval is a manifesto for future-proofing our jobs and prosperity . . . His prose is snappy . . . as good a summary as you'll read of the techno-revolution that is about to hit us." -- Sunday Times (U.K.) "Baldwin has written an engaging and informative book that guides the reader through this disruptive technological change. The Globotics Upheaval distils complex ideas into measured and understandable language that readers with no prior understanding of artificial intelligence and economics will be able to digest."--The Times (U.K.)

"The first book I've come across that ties together the two main forces shaping our world--globalisation and technological change--in an accessible way."--Business Post

"Provocative."--Reuters/Breakingviews "This is a thought-provoking book by a leading expert on world trade." --Martin Wolf, Financial Times Table Of Contents

143 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Pressure Cooker Why Home Cooking Won't Solve Our Problems and What We Can Do About It Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton, Sinikka Elliott Key Selling Points • Challenges many cherished ideas held by food pundits and reformers, who champion growing your own food and cooking from scratch as a way to solve a host of problems • Argues that positioning family meals as solutions to many social problems places a disproportionate burden on individual families, and mothers in particular • Provides a richly detailed and accessible account of how a diverse group of mothers struggle to meet the ideal of a home-cooked meal • Draws on over 250 hours of fieldwork and interviews with more than 150 American families from across the class spectrum • Proposes collective solutions that move beyond the kitchen to address food inequalities Summary 9780190663308 Food is at the center of national debates about how Americans live and the future of 0190663308 the planet. Not everyone agrees about how to reform our relationship to food, but Pub Date: 9/1/2020 $19.95 one suggestion rises above the din: We need to get back in the kitchen. Amid Discount Code: 01 concerns about rising rates of obesity and diabetes, unpronounceable ingredients, and Paperback the environmental footprint of industrial agriculture, food reformers implore parents to 256 Pages slow down, cook from scratch, and gather around the dinner table. Making food a 12 black and white illustrations priority, they argue, will lead to happier and healthier families. But is it really that Social Science / Sociology simple? SOC026000

In this riveting and beautifully-written book, Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton, and Sinikka Elliott take us into the kitchens of nine women to tell the complicated story of what it takes to feed a family today. All of these mothers love their children and want them to eat well. But their kitchens are not equal. From cockroach infestations and stretched budgets to picky eaters and conflicting nutrition advice, Pressure Cooker exposes how modern families struggle to confront high expectations and deep-seated inequalities around getting food on the table.

Based on extensive interviews and field research in the homes and kitchens of a diverse group of American families, Pressure Cooker challenges the logic of the most popular foodie mantras of our time, showing how they miss the mark and up the ante for parents and children. Romantic images of family meals are inviting, but they create a fiction that does little to fix the problems with the food system. The unforgettable stories in this book evocatively illustrate how class inequality, racism, sexism, and xenophobia converge at the dinner table. If we want a food system that is fair, equitable, and nourishing, we must look outside the kitchen for answers. Contributor Bio

Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Ascent of John Tyndall Victorian Scientist, Mountaineer, and Public Intellectual Roland Jackson Key Selling Points • Drawing extensively on journals, letters, literary articles, and scientific publications of the time, Roland Jackson paints a detailed portrait of John Tyndall and his world in this first major biography for over 70 years • Sets Tyndall's life and changing ideas against the backdrop of the intense debates of Victorian Britain concerning science, religion, and society • Describes both Tyndall's scientific achievements and his major mountaineering expeditions • Captures the intellectual life of mid-Victorian Britain through Tyndall's interactions with figures such as Faraday, Huxley, Pasteur, Carlyle, and Tennyson • Roland Jackson, himself a seasoned mountaineer, has been Head of the Science Museum, London; Chief Executive of the British Science Association; and Executive Chair of Sciencewise

A friend of Tennyson and Carlyle, as well as Michael Faraday and Thomas Huxley, Tyndall was one of the most visible advocates of a scientific world view as tensions grew between developing scientific knowledge and theology. He was an active and often controversial commentator, through letters, essays, speeches, and debates, on the scientific, political, and social issues of the day, with strongly stated views on Ireland, religion, race, and the role of women. Widely read in America, his lecture tour there in 1872-73 was a great success.

Roland Jackson paints a picture of an individual at the heart of Victorian science and society. He also describes Tyndall's importance as a pioneering mountaineer in what has become known as the Golden Age of Alpinism. Among other feats, Tyndall was the first to traverse the Matterhorn. He presents Tyndall as a complex personality, full of contrasts, with his intense sense of duty, his deep love of poetry, his generosity to friends and his combativeness, his persistent ill-health alongside great physical stamina driving him to his mountaineering feats. Drawing on Tyndall's letters and journals for this first major biography of Tyndall since 1945, Jackson explores the legacy of a man who aroused strong opinions, strong loyalties, and strong enmities throughout his life.

And yet religion 424 Pages permeated all aspects of his career. When he used religion astutely, he and his army 30 images prospered. In Egypt, he performed the ceremonies needed to be pharaoh, and thus History / Ancient became a god as well as a priest. Babylon surrendered to him partly because he HIS002020 agreed to become a sacred king. When Alexander disregarded religion, he and his army suffered. In Iran, for instance, where he refused to be crowned and even destroyed a shrine, resistance against him mounted. In India, he killed Buddhists, Jains, and Hindus by the hundreds of thousands until his officers, men he regarded as religious companians, rebelled against him and forced him to abandon his campaign of conquest. Although he never fully recovered from this last disappointment, he continued to perform his priestly duties in the rest of his empire. As far as we know, the last time he rose from his bed was to perform a sacrifice.

Ancient writers knew little about Near Eastern religions, no doubt due to the difficulty of travel to Babylon, India, and the interior of Egypt. Yet details of these exotic religions can be found in other ancient sources, including Greek, and in the last thirty years, knowledge of Alexander's time in the Near East has increased. Egyptologists and Assyriologists have written the first thorough accounts of Alexander's religious doings in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Recent archaeological work has also allowed scholars to uncover new aspects of Macedonian religious policy. Soldier, Priest, and God, the first religious biography of Alexander, incorporates this recent scholarship to provide a vivid and unique portrait of a remarkable leader. Contributor Bio

Long before our own day of self-help books offering twelve-step programs and other guides to attain happiness, the philosophers of ancient Greece explored the riddle of what makes a life worth living, producing a wide variety of ideas and examples to follow. This rich tradition was recast by Diogenes Laertius into an anthology, a miscellany of maxims and anecdotes, that generations of Western readers have consulted for edification as well as entertainment 9780197523391 ever since the Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, first compiled in the third century 0197523390 Pub Date: 10/1/2020 AD, came to prominence in Renaissance Italy. To this day, it remains a crucial source $19.95 for much of what we know about the origins and practice of philosophy in ancient Discount Code: 1A Greece, covering a longer period of time and a larger number of figures-from Paperback Pythagoras and Socrates to Aristotle and Epicurus-than any other ancient source. 448 Pages Philosophy / History & Surveys Contributor Bio PHI009000 Diogenes Laertius was a Greek writer who probably lived in the first half of the third century AD.

152 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Redesigning Life How genome editing will transform the world John Parrington Key Selling Points • Explains the science behind revolutionary developments in genetic engineering frequently in the news • Describes breakthroughs in genome editing and the creation of synthetic lifeforms • Discusses the huge potential benefits to medicine and agriculture • Highlights the ethical dilemmas and the dangers that may lurk in this brave new world Summary Since the birth of civilisation, human beings have manipulated other life-forms. We have selectively bred plants and animals for thousands of years to maximise agricultural production and cater to our tastes in pets. The observation of the creation of artificial animal and plant variants was a key stimulant for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The ability to directly engineer the genomes of organisms first became 9780198766834 possible in the 1970s, when the gene for human insulin was introduced into bacteria 0198766831 to produce this protein for diabetics. At the same time, mice were modified to Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $14.95 produce human growth hormone, and grew huge as a result. But these were only our Discount Code: 1A first tottering steps into the possibilities of genetic engineering. Paperback

368 Pages In the past few years, the pace of progress has accelerated enormously. We can now 31 black and white figures cut and paste genes using molecular scissors with astonishing ease, and the new Science / Life Sciences technology of genome editing can be applied to practically any species of plants or SCI029000 animals. 'Mutation chain reaction' can be used to alter the genes of a population of pests, such as flies; as the modified creatures breed, the mutation is spread through the population, so that within a few generations the organism is almost completely altered. At the same time, scientists are also beginning to synthesize new organisms from scratch.

These new technologies hold much promise for improving lives. Genome editing has already been used clinically to treat AIDS patients, by genetically modifying their white blood cells to be resistant to HIV. In agriculture, genome editing could be used to engineer species with increased food output, and the ability to thrive in challenging climates. New bacterial forms may be used to generate energy. But these powerful new techniques also raise important ethical dilemmas and potential dangers, pressing issues that are already upon us given the speed of scientific developments. To what extent should parents be able to manipulate the genetics of their offspring--and would designer babies be limited to the rich? Can we effectively weigh up the risks from introducing synthetic lifeforms into complex ecosystems? John Parrington explains the nature and possibilities of these new scientific developments, which could usher in a brave, new world. We must rapidly come to understand its implications if we are to direct its huge potential to the good of humanity and the planet. Contributor Bio

154 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Armies of Sand The Past, Present, and Future of Arab Military Effectiveness Kenneth M. Pollack Key Selling Points • Provides a powerful explanation of the ineffectiveness of Arab militaries over the last half-century • Compares Arab military performance with many other non-superpower combatants over the course of the last 75 years to establish his case • Considers how the social and cultural changes that are currently transforming the Arab world may impact Arab military effectiveness going forward Summary Since the Second World War, Arab armed forces have consistently punched below their weight. They have lost many wars that by all rights they should have won, and in their best performances only ever achieved quite modest accomplishments. Over time, soldiers, scholars, and military experts have offered various explanations for this pattern. Reliance on Soviet military methods, the poor civil-military relations of the 9780197524640 Arab world, the underdevelopment of the Arab states, and patterns of behavior 0197524648 derived from the wider Arab culture, have all been suggested as the ultimate source Pub Date: 10/1/2020 $24.95 of Arab military difficulties. In Armies of Sand, Kenneth M. Pollack assesses these Discount Code: 1A differing explanations and isolates the most important causes. Over the course of the Paperback book, he examines the combat performance of fifteen Arab armies and air forces in 696 Pages virtually every Middle Eastern war, from the Jordanians and Syrians in 1948 to 27 maps Hizballah in 2006 and the Iraqis and ISIS in 2014-2017. The book ultimately Political Science / Comparative concludes that reliance on Soviet doctrine was more of a help than a hindrance to the Politics POL009000 Arabs. In contrast, politicization and underdevelopment were both important factors limiting Arab military effectiveness, but patterns of behavior derived from the dominant Arab culture was the most important factor of all. Pollack closes with a discussion of the rapid changes occurring across the Arab world, and suggests that because both Arab society and warfare are changing, the problems that have bedeviled Arab armed forces in the past could dissipate or even vanish in the future, with potentially dramatic consequences for the Middle East military balance. Sweeping in its coverage, this will be the go-to reference for anyone interested in the history of warfare in the Middle East since 1945. Contributor Bio

Kenneth M. Pollack was a longtime Senior Fellow of the Brookings Institution, where he ran the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, and is currently a Resident Scholar of the American Enterprise Institute. Quotes

"A masterful, wide-ranging, compelling study of why Arab armies have typically fared poorly in combat. With this certain-to-be classic work, Ken Pollack solidifies his position as one of the world's foremost scholars on Middle Eastern military and political affairs." -- General David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.), former Director of the CIA "Ken Pollack argues convincingly that efforts to uncover causes of military success or failure must begin far from the battlefield. He shines new light on social, economic, political, and cultural impediments to improving military effectiveness in Arab states. His argument that the influence of culture is predominant is certain to generate introspection among Arab leaders and their overseas partners who support their military reform efforts. This should be read and debated by readers who want to understand better this complex and important region." -- H.R. McMaster, Former National Security Advisor and author of Dereliction of Duty

155 "Few if any military analysts know as much, or have thought as deeply, about Arab armies as has Ken Pollack. In Armies of Sand-a masterpiece of political science-he distills a lifetime of learning to grapple with the most important and most difficult questions that lie at the intersection of technology, culture and politics. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of warfare in the Middle East." -- Max Boot, author of Invisible Armies "Armies of Sand belongs in the library of every military professional serving in the Middle East, whether Western or Arab. It is a unique blend of military history and social science that comprehensively explains the military effectiveness of our Arab friends and foes alike. Pollack has courageously and objectively tackled the sensitive subject of culture, which we ignore at our peril. Armed with its insights, future commanders might avoid the surprises and frustrations that have long been the hallmarks of military operations in this theater of persistent conflict." -- Lieutenant General Sean MacFarland, U.S. Army (Ret.); Commander of Coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, 2015-2016 "This is a path-breaking volume on an uncomfortable topic: Arab military failure. Kenneth Pollack is the model of the engaged scholar, whose extensive field experience on today's battlefields complements his knowledge of military affairs and the Arab world more broadly. The volume is lucid, comprehensive and fascinating. His conclusions about the relationship between culture and military effectiveness will be controversial, but they are compellingly put and will set the terms of debate for years to come." -- Eliot A.

Paperback

944 Pages In the prize-winning The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke, Jeffrey C. Stewart offers 38 hts the definitive biography of the father of the Harlem Renaissance, based on the extant History / African American primary sources of his life and on interviews with those who knew him personally. He HIS056000 narrates the education of Locke, including his becoming the first African American Rhodes Scholar and earning a PhD in philosophy at Harvard University, and his long career as a professor at Howard University. Locke also received a cosmopolitan, aesthetic education through his travels in continental Europe, where he came to appreciate the beauty of art and experienced a freedom unknown to him in the United States. And yet he became most closely associated with the flowering of Black culture in Jazz Age America and his promotion of the literary and artistic work of African Americans as the quintessential creations of American modernism. In the process he looked to Africa to find the proud and beautiful roots of the race. Shifting the discussion of race from politics and economics to the arts, he helped establish the idea that Black urban communities could be crucibles of creativity. Stewart explores both Locke's professional and private life, including his relationships with his mother, his friends, and his white patrons, as well as his lifelong search for love as a gay man.

Stewart's thought-provoking biography recreates the worlds of this illustrious, enigmatic man who, in promoting the cultural heritage of Black people, became--in the process--a New Negro himself. Contributor Bio

Jeffrey C. Stewart is a Professor of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author of Paul Robeson: Artist and Citizen and 1001 Things Everyone Should Know About African American History. Quotes

"Locke represents a biographical challenge of unusual difficulty. Superbly educated, dazzlingly intelligent, psychologically complicated, and a cultural analyst and visionary whose books and essays helped to shape our understanding of race and modern American culture, Locke could also be petty and vindictive, manipulative and cruel. Also stamping his identity was his brave commitment to living fully as a gay man, 158 despite its various dangers. Jeffrey Stewart, rising superbly to this challenge, has given us one of the finest literary biographies to appear in recent years." - Arnold Rampersad, Stanford University

"Jeffrey Stewart's long anticipated biography of the enigmatic Alain Locke fulfills its promise-and then some. It is magnificent! A panoramic portrait of one of the great thinkers, teachers, and literary entrepreneurs of the early twentieth century, The New Negro sheds fresh light on the intellectual firmament whose brightest star discovered African American modernism in an era of cosmopolitanism, colonialism, and catastrophe, and the man whose complex and tragic life left him defeated, unfulfilled, and underappreciated. . . . until now." - Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original

"More than an account of Locke's professional and academic life, Stewart's book offers an integrated vision of Locke's professional and personal life and many details on the innermost aspects of Locke's personal life. This is without question one of the most comprehensive and insightful biographies of an important African American intellectual. Readers will be greatly rewarded for investing their time in its penetrating and revealing pages."- Jacoby Carter, CUNY John Jay College

"Stewart creates a poignant portrait of a formidable yet flawed genius who navigated the cultural boundaries and barriers of his time while nurturing an enduring African- American intellectual movement."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A magisterial biography... it brilliantly doubles as a history of the philosophical debates that girded black artistic triumphs early in the 20th century. A sweeping biography that gets deep into not just the man, but the movements he supported, resisted, and inspired."--Kirkus (starred review)

"[A] comprehensive, richly contextualized portrait of a key writer, educator, philosopher, and supporter of the arts."--Booklist (starred review)

"The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke is a vitally important, astonishingly well researched, exhaustive biography of the brilliant, complex, flawed, utterly fascinating man who, if he did not start the movement, served as its curator, intellectual champion, and guiding spirit... It is difficult to imagine a more able chronicler of Alain Locke's singular journey than Mr. Stewart."--Clifford Thompson, Wall Street Journal

"In describing Locke's life as a black man, a thinker and fighter in social causes, and a homosexual, Stewart... must in a way describe many different Alain Lockes. That such a gripping and cohesive narrative could be forged out of such fractured material is no mean accomplishment... Locke himself was constantly re-inventing in a life that defied easy categorization. Jeffrey Stewart has written the definitive study that life has always warranted - and, fittingly, he's made it excellent reading in the process."--Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor

"Majestic... [The New Negro is] a master class in how to trace the lineage of a biographical subject's ideas and predilections. The attachment and longing Locke experienced in relationships with his mother, friends and lovers exerted as much influence on his work as the texts he read and lectures he attended. One finishes Stewart's book haunted by the realization that this must be true for us all."--Michael P. Jeffries, New York Times Book Review

"Locke's achievement--and what is still more fascinating, his complex and contradictory personality--can now be appreciated in full, thanks to a monumental new biography... Drawing extensively on Locke's correspondence and archive, and offering a richly informed portrait of his milieu, The New Negro is a major biography of a kind that even writers more famous than Locke are lucky to receive."--Harvard Magazine

"A159 masterpiece of sustained craft, research, and historical scope."--Lew Whittington, New York Journal of Books

"Stewart's sprawling, magisterial labor of love comes as a reminder that in those Birth of a Nation days a century ago, when race relations were far worse than they are now, a fiercely independent philosopher of color set down visions of black American freedom beyond economic agendas, nationalist visions, and political protest. This book draws Alain Locke out of the shadows and bestows his legacy to artists of all colors and genders seeking freedom from narrow-minded expectations and fear-mongering hypocrisy." --Bookforum

"The New Negro is a nuanced biography of a complicated, important figure in black and queer cultural history... Those brave enough to plunge in... will find much of interest to take away."--Charles Green, The Gay & Lesbian Review

Ukraine(2nd Edition) What Everyone Needs to Know® Serhy Yekelchyk Key Selling Points • Fully revised and updated second edition of The Conflict in Ukraine: What Everyone Needs to Know® • Written by one of the leading scholars of Ukrainian, Russian, and East European history • Addresses Ukraine's relations with the West, specifically in the context of the 2016 and 2020 US presidential elections Summary Conventional wisdom dictates that Ukraine's political crises can be traced to the linguistic differences and divided political loyalties that have long fractured the country. However, this theory obscures the true significance of Ukraine's recent civic revolution and the conflict's crucial international dimension. The 2013-14 Ukrainian revolution presented authoritarian powers in Russia with both a democratic and a 9780197532119 geopolitical challenge. In reality, political conflict in Ukraine is reflective of global 019753211X Pub Date: 10/1/2020 discord, stemming from differing views on state power, civil society, and democracy. $18.95 Discount Code: 03 Ukraine's sudden prominence in American politics has compounded an already- Paperback widespread misunderstanding of what is actually happening in the nation. In the 208 Pages American media, Ukraine has come to signify an inherently corrupt place, rather than Political Science a real country struggling in the face of great challenges. Ukraine: What Everyone POL000000 Series: WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS Needs to Know® is an updated edition of Serhy Yekelchyk's 2015 publication, The TO KNOW Conflict in Ukraine. It addresses Ukraine's relations with the West, particularly the United States, from the perspective of Ukrainians. The book explains how independent Ukraine fell victim to crony capitalism, how its people rebelled twice in the last two decades in the name of democracy and against corruption, and why Russia reacted so aggressively to the strivings of Ukrainians. Additionally, it looks at what we know about alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, the factors behind the stunning electoral victory of the political novice Volodymyr Zelensky, and the ways in which the events leading to the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump have changed the Russia-Ukraine-US relationship.

This volume is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the forces that have shaped contemporary politics in this increasingly important part of Europe, as well as the international background of the impeachment proceedings in the US. Contributor Bio

The Russian Economy: A Very Short Introduction introduces readers to the dimensions of the Russian economy that are often ignored by the media and public figures, or exaggerated and misunderstood.

197 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog American Military History A Very Short Introduction Joseph T. Glatthaar Key Selling Points • Introduces readers to the role of the American military in the country's past • Explores how the military is shaping the country and current and future national security issues • Examines the difference between civilian soldiers and a standing army, professionalism in the military, the growth of mechanization and technology, and the limits of power Summary Since the first English settlers landed at Jamestown with the legacy of centuries of European warfare in tow, the military has been an omnipresent part of America. In American Military History: A Very Short Introduction, Joseph T. Glatthaar explores this relationship from its origins in the thirteen colonies to today's ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

9780199859252 0199859256 During the Revolutionary War, tension grew between local militias and a standing Pub Date: 10/1/2020 army. The Founding Fathers attempted to strike a balance, enshrining an army, navy, $11.95 and a "well-regulated Militia" in the Constitution. The US soon witnessed the rise of a Discount Code: 03 Paperback professional military, a boon to its successes in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. However, after the Civil War, the US struggled to learn that the 144 Pages purpose of a peacetime army is to prepare for war. 10 History / Military HIS027110 When war did arrive, it arrived with a vengeance, gutting the trenches of the Great Series: Very Short Introductions War with effective innovations: tanks, planes, machine guns, and poison gas. The US embraced the technology that would win both world wars and change the nature of battle in the Second World War. The US emerged from World War II as the most powerful nation in the war, but over the next several decades it was forced to confront the limits of its power. The nuclear era brought encounters defined by stalemate--from the Cold War conflicts of Korea and Vietnam to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since 9/11, the US has been frustrated by unconventional warfare, including terrorism and cyberwar, largely negating the technological advantage it had held. Glatthaar examines all these challenges, looking to the future of the U.S. military and its often proud and complicated legacy. Contributor Bio

203 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The U.S. Civil War: A Very Short Introduction Louis P. Masur Key Selling Points • The only short history of the Civil War on the market • Written by a popular and prolific American historian • Part of the Very Short Introductions series - millions of copies sold worldwide Summary More than one hundred and fifty years after the first shots were fired on Fort Sumter, the Civil War still captures the American imagination, and its reverberations can still be felt throughout America's social and political landscape.

Louis P. Masur's The U.S. Civil War: A Very Short Introduction offers a masterful and eminently readable overview of the war's multiple causes and catastrophic effects. Masur begins by examining the complex origins of the war, focusing on the pulsating tensions over states rights and slavery. The book then proceeds to cover, year by year, the major political, social, and military events, highlighting two important themes: how the war shifted from a limited conflict to restore the Union to an all-out 9780197513668 0197513662 war that would fundamentally transform Southern society, and the process by which Pub Date: 10/1/2020 the war ultimately became a battle to abolish slavery. Masur explains how the war $11.95 turned what had been a loose collection of fiercely independent states into a nation, Discount Code: 03 Paperback remaking its political, cultural, and social institutions. But he also focuses on the soldiers themselves, both Union and Confederate, whose stories constitute nothing 152 Pages less than America's Iliad.

In 1873, Mark Twain and Charles Dudley wrote that the war had "wrought so profoundly upon the entire national character that the influence cannot be measured short of two or three generations."

Quotes

"Masur's pocket-sized chronological account of the Civil War packs a powerful punch It is hard to overstate this accomplishment, as so many have tried before and failed." --H-Net "A short history of the Civil War is a daunting task to say the least, so complex and wide-ranging is the story, yet Louis P. Masur has accomplished the task not only with remarkable all-inclusiveness, but with considerable perception, and not a little genuine eloquence. The result is surely the finest account in brief compass that we have." -- William C. Davis, Virginia Center for Civil War Studies, Virginia Tech "Louis P. Masur has done a splendid job of explaining why the Civil War came, how it unfolded, and what Union victory meant. His ability to bring clarity to such a complex subject in so few pages makes this a wonderful place for anyone to begin an exploration of the most important period in American history."-Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Confederate War 204 "A succinct, highly readable account, Masur's book conveys both the drama and the complexity of America's greatest moral and political crisis."- Jacqueline Jones, author of Saving Savannah: The City and the Civil War

"Louis Masur's history of the Civil War is extraordinarily deft and balanced, featuring a judicious choice of primary source quotations."-Elizabeth Varon, University of Virginia

"In this concise history of the Civil War, Louis Masur makes good on his promise 'to explain what happened, how it transpired, and what it all meant.' A great deal happened in that war, and it meant more than any other event in American history. Masur covers all the important points of this dramatic story with a deft pen that carries the reader through those crowded years with remarkable clarity and understanding."-James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom "For the reader uneasy with any study more than general-interest, this book is the first one that the anticipating librarian should place in such a person's hands. It is an immaculate overview that quickly gets to the heart of the matter, precisely surveying, with keen insight, the slippery slope to war's outbreak, which was paved with increasingly bitter opposing views on slavery and states' rights and territorial expansion; along the way, the concept of nullification added its own coat of slipperiness." -Booklist, Starred Review

"An ideal guide. Masur's deft touch is reflected in the judicious way he mines his material, which includes analysis for the set of illustrations included in the text. One finishes this book, whether read over the course of hours or months, with a sense of having traced the outlines of a vast historiographic territory." --History News Network

"Masur performs a miracle by providing a concise but compelling narrative of the Civil War era, packing in the critical information to track the trajectory of secession, war, emancipation, and Reconstruction...Highly recommended." --Library Journal

"Fresh and amazingly brief." --Salon

"If you want to cut to the chase, this is the volume for you." -Forbes.com "This book delivers far more than its title suggests, as it is a concise history of not merely the Civil War, but the entire Civil War era. By a masterful melding of the techniques of Bruce Catton's lively narrative storytelling and the scholarly craftsmanship typified by T. Harry Williams and Shelby Foote, Louis P. Masur has written a book that should appeal to the widest audience - including lay readers, students, and academics - interested in the Civil WarEL This book is an essential addition to everyone's Civil War collections." - Civil War History

In addition, the legions of community and environmental activists influence debates and controversies within the field. 9780190944346 019094434X Pub Date: 10/1/2020 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.

At its Series: Very Short Introductions best, city planning utilizes technical tools to achieve goals set by community action and political debate.

In a landscape of increasing globalization there is growing interest in questions over the nature of contemporary art today, and the identity of who is controlling its future. In the midst of this, contemporary art continues to be a realm of freedom where artists shock, break taboos, flout generally received ideas, and switch between confronting viewers with works of great emotional profundity and jaw-dropping triviality. 9780198826620 0198826621 Pub Date: 2/1/2021 In this Very Short Introduction Julian Stallabrass gives a clear view on the diverse $11.95 and rapidly moving scene of contemporary art.

248 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Doctor Pascal Émile Zola, Brian Nelson, Julie Rose Key Selling Points • A new translation of Doctor Pascal -- the twentieth and final work of Zola's famous Rougon-Macquart series that traces the fortunes of a family over five generations • Brian Nelson's Introduction looks at the prominence of a mythic structure and parallelism in Zola's representation of social reality, and the culture of science and religion during the Fin de siècle • Includes an up-to-date bibliography, chronology of the author, and helpful explanatory notes Summary I believe that the future of humanity lies in the progress of reason through science.

Doctor Pascal is the twentieth and final novel of Zola's Rougon-Macquart cycle -- a pivotal tale of science vs faith. 9780198746164 0198746164 The novel opens in 1872, as the reign of Napoleon III comes to an end.

He represents science, while his niece Clotilde places her faith in God. FIC004000 Series: Oxford World's Classics Pascal Rougon is in some respects Zola's alter ego. The novel evokes the writer's own intellectual evolution, especially in respect to his views on science and human progress. It also embodies a reflection by Zola on his activity as a writer.

250 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Wuthering Heights Emily Brontë, John Bugg Key Selling Points • An introduction which moves beyond the cliché of Emily Brontë as an untutored genius in order to show her deep understanding of literary tradition as well as her experience in visual art and music • Uses the 1976 Clarendon text, with restored the punctuation of the 1847 text • Appendices include original reviews of the novel, Charlotte Brontë's three prefacing documents from the 1850 edition, and a selection of Emily Brontë's poetry Summary 'You said I killed you - haunt me, then!'

Wuthering Heights is one of the most famous love stories in the English language. It is also one of the most potent revenge narratives. The intense and unbreakable bond between the fiery Catherine Earnshaw and the foundling Heathcliff has startled and 9780198834786 fascinated readers since its first publication in 1847. Of uncertain parentage and 0198834780 ethnicity, Heathcliff comes to Wuthering Heights as a child when Catherine's father Pub Date: 12/1/2020 $6.95 finds him wandering alone through the slave-trading port of Liverpool. After Mr Discount Code: 11 Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff and Catherine find refuge in each other when the Paperback household falls into the hands of Catherine's dissolute older brother. Their bond 168 Pages deepens as they escape together from the violence and stern religion of their home to Fiction / Classics the Yorkshire moors. FIC004000 Series: Oxford World's Classics But the story of Catherine and Heathcliff's attachment transforms from intimacy to strife when Catherine marries the refined Edgar Linton. The ensuing story of violence and thwarted passion is one of the most powerful tales of the gothic tradition, a literary mode from which Emily Brontë wrings all of its terrifying potential. A regional novel with a global reach, a work of sensational effects with a startling ethical core, Wuthering Heights is both a romantic melodrama and wrenching study of the difficulty of escaping from the legacies of violence.

This edition reproduces the authoritative Clarendon text, with revised and expanded notes and a selection from the poems of Emily Brontë. Contributor Bio

254 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog The Duke's Children Complete Extended edition Anthony Trollope, Steven Amarnick Key Selling Points • The Duke's Children is a touching story of love, family relationships. loyalty, principles, horse-racing, flirtation, and debt, as the old Duke struggles to come to terms with the loss of his wife and the stubbornness of his children • Features an introduction written by Steven Amarnick, a leading authority on Trollope's work • This edition features a substanial amount of previously cut material, which was removed in order for the original book to be published.

FIC004000 Series: Oxford World's Classics Even when his eldest child and heir, Lord Silverbridge, makes him proud by embarking upon a political career, the Duke grapples with heartache. For Silverbridge becomes a Conservative rather than a Liberal, flouting the family tradition. The relationship between father and son is drawn with remarkable subtlety, and the book as a whole becomes a piercing, yet often humorous, exploration of change: how both the young and the old resist, tolerate, or embrace it.

Trollope cut roughly 65,000 words, at a vulnerable moment in his career, to get the novel published, but concluded rapidly that he had made a grievous error. After a painstaking reconstruction by a team of researchers, The Duke's Children, the final book in Trollope's famed Palliser series, can now be read the way he first intended. It is a masterpiece of Victorian fiction. Contributor Bio

264 Oxford University Press Fall/Winter 2021 Catalog Malevolent Republic A Short History of the New India K.S. Komireddi Key Selling Points • Hailed as the world's largest democracy and feted by the Trump administration in events like "Howdy Modi" in Houston, India is fast slipping into autocracy under the bigoted rule of Prime Minister Modi and this blistering critique shows how • A well-regarded observer of modern India, journalist Kapil Komireddi is one of only 2,300 individuals that Modi follows on Twitter (PM Modi himself as 52.6 million followers) • A concise history of India from Indira Gandhi to the present, this book questions how to wrest Indian democracy from Hindu extremism before India becomes Pakistan by another name Summary After decades of imperfect secularism, presided over by an often corrupt Congress establishment, Nehru's diverse republic has yielded to Hindu nationalism. India is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. 9781787380059 178738005X Pub Date: 9/1/2020 Since 2014, the ruling BJP has unleashed forces that are irreversibly transforming the $29.95 country. Indian democracy, honed over decades, is now the chief enabler of Hindu Discount Code: 02 extremism. Bigotry has been ennobled as a healthy form of self-assertion, and Hardcover anti-Muslim vitriol has deluged the mainstream, with religious minorities living in 320 Pages terror of a vengeful majority. Congress now mimics Modi; other parties pray for a Political Science / World POL054000 miracle.

In this blistering critique of India from Indira Gandhi to the present, Komireddi lays bare the cowardly concessions to the Hindu right, convenient distortions of India's past and demeaning bribes to minorities that led to Modi's decisive electoral victory. If secularists fail to reclaim the republic from Hindu nationalists, Komireddi argues, India will become Pakistan by another name. Contributor Bio

K.S. (Kapil Satish) Komireddi was born in India, and educated there and in England. His commentary, criticism, and journalism - from South Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East - have appeared, among other publications, in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Economist, The Guardian, TIME, The New Statesman, The Spectator, Foreign Policy, and The Jewish Chronicle. This is his first book. Quotes

"Kapil Komireddi ranks high among the wisest, most astute, and most humane observers of modern India. I rely heavily on his insights to form my own understanding of the past, present, and future of the subcontinent." -- David Frum, Senior Editor, The Atlantic

"Kapil Komireddi explores the unhealthy symbiosis that brought [India] to this point. ... The charges [he] lays at the prime minister's door are damning." -- The Financial Times

"A timely intervention at a dangerous moment. ... both the times and the subject demand anger, argument and urgency. Malevolent Republic supplies all three and is all the better for it." -- The Observer

"The book is well-documented and highly readable. All discerning Indians and their 265 well-wishers should read it, reflect on the issues raised in it, and if possible act on them." -- The Hindu

"Written with passion and savagery, this is a polemical and highly readable short history of modern India from Indira Gandhi to Narendra Modi."-- Gideon Rachman, The Financial Times

"Dazzling prose . . . arresting, essential, devastating."-- The Spectator

"[E]loquent on the subject of religious tolerance, communal harmony and human decency, all of which appear to be in harrowingly short supply among the acolytes who surround Modi." -- The Times

"In precise and sharp language Malevolent Republic takes readers on a terrifying and yet illuminating journey through the rapidly transforming political, social and religious landscape of Modi's India." -- Times Literary Supplement

"[F]or anyone trying to understand [India's] momentous transformation, KS Komireddi's Malevolent Republic should be a must read . . . The beauty of Malevolent Republic is that it stimulates questions." -- The Indian Express

"Even if you recoil from the full blast of Komireddi's anger, read Malevolent Republic. It's a reminder that India is a righteous project mishandled and let down.' -- India Today

"What makes Komireddi's narrative interesting, and more importantly fair, is the care he's taken to look at all leaders from Nehru to Modi in equal light . . . The book . . . merits a wider audience. Here, for a change, is a critic of the present order who is fair-handed even if he is a bit harsh in his anger at the political evolution of independent India." -- Siddharth Singh, Open Magazine

"Kapil Komireddi is a writer of flair, originality, and, above all, an absolute independence of mind ... his ability to see through posturing and prejudice makes his work both distinctive and compelling. This book deserves to be widely read within India and beyond." -- Ramachandra Guha
