£61.50 10 Feb 2012 Hardback Purdue University Press

"With the appearance of Homer's study, it is no longer possible to base any serious work about organized crime on the superficial debate over whether or not this set of activities is dominated by one or more particular ethnic groups," writes political scientist Michael A. Weinstein in his introduction. "Homer removes the study of organized crime from the realm of sensationalism and ethnic chauvinism, and places it in the context of contemporary American social structure. He reviews prevalent myths and hypotheses about organized crime and critically analyzes them in the framework of contemporary organization theory. In this context, organized crime is analyzed in its economic, political, ethnic, and social class dimensions."

The Population of Indonesia

07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Salahudin Muhidin

£19.95 07 Feb 2012 Hardback Rozenberg Publishers

The Population of Indonesia is a study that aims to contribute to a better understanding of the regional population dynamics, both retrospectively and prospectively. The study considers population in a multiregional system. Regional demographic processes are interlinked and jointly determine the growth and structure of the population in the different regions. Recently, the regional dimension procures a prominent role in development planning in Indonesia. The decentralization policy, implemented in 2001, emphasizes the regional dimension in Indonesia development.

This book outlines a detailed analysis of the changes in Indonesian regional demographic variables during the last three decades. It provides an assessment of the past population projections, as well as the advantages offered by available demographic data sources. The multiregional projections result in plausible and likely size of the population in Indonesia and its regions up to the year 2020.

American Science Fiction TV

04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Jan Johnson-Smith

£22.50 04 Feb 2012 Paperback University Press of New England

Writing with the clarity of a scholar and the enthusiasm of a fan, Jan Johnson-Smith shows how science fiction television has displaced the Western in the American cultural imagination. As advances in special effects have made science fiction television technically feasible on a scale more lavish than ever before, visual style has become as important as narrative - sometimes even more important - in shaping the conventions of this genre. The book features case studies of several key science fiction series, including "Space: Above and Beyond,

StarGate SG-1," and "Babylon 5," to uncover common narrative patterns and visual styles. The case studies explore themes such as politics, ideology, race and ethnicity, gender difference, militarism, and the use of science fiction narratives as allegories of present-day social and political concerns. American Science Fiction TV opens an important new area of genre studies and will be of interest to scholars and fans alike.

Sketch for a Self-analysis

03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Pierre Bourdieu

£35.50 03 Feb 2012 Hardback The University of Chicago Press

Over the past four decades, French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu produced one of the most imaginative and subtle bodies of social theory of the postwar era. When he died in 2002, he was considered to be the most influential sociologist in the world and a thinker on a par with Foucault and Levi-Strauss--a public intellectual as important to his generation as Sartre was to his.
"Sketch for a Self-Analysis" is the ultimate outcome of Bourdieu's lifelong preoccupation with reflexivity. Vehemently not an autobiography, this unique book is instead an application of Bourdieu's theories to his own life and intellectual trajectory; along the way it offers compelling and intimate insights into the most important French intellectuals of the time--including Foucault, Sartre, Aron, Althusser, and de Beauvoir--as well as Bourdieu's own formative experiences at boarding school and his moral outrage at the colonial war in Algeria.

Turning the Century

Homosexuality and Society in the Modern Western World

£24.95 02 Feb 2012 Hardback Associated University Presses

This volume of literary and cultural theory continues certain debates that dominated feminism in the early 1980s. Those were formative years for academic feminism in the U.S. because a critical mass of feminist scholars was promoted or granted tenure; black, Chicana, and other "Third World" feminists solidified a separate power base; multicultural feminist organizations such as the National Women's Studies Association came of age; and French feminist works were published in English translation for the first time. The traditional concerns of feminism - how to analyze women's oppression and act politically to end it - were moved to a new level of complexity as an understanding of women's differences became practically and theoretically more urgent and feminists were empowered in startling and unprecedented ways.

The writers anthologized here do not all speak in the same voice, but they do all address the issues of difference so eloquently articulated by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1981: How do we think about difference, and how do we build an effective feminist movement around it?

That year, Reagon spoke at the West Coast Women's Music Festival, and a few years later she reworked her presentation for inclusion in Barbara Smith's Home Girls. Subtitled "Turning the Century," Reagon's talk was about the difference between feeling at home in feminism, between having "a space that is 'yours only' - just for the people you want to be there," and crossing what she called "first people boundaries" to make a revolution - that is, "really doing coalition work," the crucial work for feminists as we look forward to the twenty-first century.

Now, in 1992, some people would say that the gaps - racial, cultural, political, and discursive - between Bernice Johnson Reagon and most academic feminists in the 1990s are absolutely unbridgeable. Which may well be true. But those very gaps also signify not the irrelevance to academic feminists of Reagon and the variety of streetwise black feminism she represents (or vice versa), but compelling reasons to attend closely to her analysis. In "Turning the Century," Reagon asked feminists (including academic feminists) to examine three major issues: the tensions between separatism and coalition-building (both of which, she held, are politically necessary); the dangers of "mono-issue" critical perspectives and agendas for activism; and the destructiveness to feminist communities of forgetting "the principles that are the basis of [our] practice." Today, more than a decade later, these issues are still important and far from being resolved. This volume works toward achieving that goal.

Pavements in the Garden

02 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Ann Marie T Cammarota, Anne Marie T Cammarota

£41.50 02 Feb 2012 Hardback Associated University Presses

This is the first book to evaluate the history of the suburbanization of southern New Jersey, adjacent to the City of Philadelphia, in both a local and regional context. And, with a broader perspective, this work provides not only new character for accepted historical constructs, but it places South Jersey within the national suburban experience. Although it focuses on the local nature of the development, it draws comparisons to the similarities and differences of other locales across the country, and stresses the primary significance of new methods of transportation to suburban expansion.

Extensively documented from newspapers of the period and local public and private records, this work links together, in a regional and national context, South Jersey's ferry suburb of the Town of Camden, railroad suburb of Haddon Heights, and suburban city of Cherry Hill. It chronicles the arrival of the steamboat, locomotive, and automobile and the ongoing nineteenth- and twentieth-century enterprises that stimulated the growth and development of an area that is a vital part of the Delaware Valley.

Pavements in the Garden brings into focus the events of the past and the controversies of the present, and contributes a unique overview of the changing pattern of suburbanization in southern New Jersey that contributes to the national suburban model.

The Collection of Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities in the National

By Bodil Bundgaard Rasmussen, John Lund

£18.95 01 Feb 2012 Paperback Nationalmuseet Antiksamlingen

This publication celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Collection of Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities in the National Museum of Denmark. The Collection traces its roots back to the Royal Kunstkammer founded by King Frederik III around 1650 and to the private archaeological collection of King Christian VIII. On his death the two collections were joined and in 1853 a new one emerged, now named Cabinet of Antiquities and open to the public -- a collection which over the ensuing 150 years was constantly enlarged and enriched.

In eight articles (text in Danish and English), various aspects of the history of the Collection are tackled -- the authors taking their cues from highlights and humble objects alike: two marble heads from Athens, a mummy from Egypt, and a seemingly insignificant Syrian amulet which none the less can tell an intriguing tale from the past. We meet a largely forgotten 19"th"-century Danish consul in Tunisia with an eye for antiquities and accompany Danish archaeologists on expeditions to Hama in Syria and Luristan in Iran.

New research in Corinthian pottery is presented and the reader is introduced to the principles employed in establishing the Greek and Roman galleries opened in 1994 together with plans for a new Cypriot gallery to be opened in 2002.

The Collection of Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities encompasses not only the story of ancient cultures but is in its own right part of the history of Denmark as it unfolds the story of the many relations between Denmark and the Mediterranean countries over the centuries.

Wounds of War

19 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Julie M. Lamb, Marcy Levy, Michael R. Reich

£11.95 19 Jan 2012 Paperback Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies

In the last half century, the nature of war has changed dramatically. Wars in the post-Cold War period have occurred mainly within national borders rather than between sovereign states. In these conflicts, civilians are increasingly the deliberate targets of war rather than accidental victims. Women and children in particular have become the intentional targets of murder, rape, and kidnapping. The book focuses on the impact of war on women and girls, and the potential for women as peacemakers. The text addresses major policy issues facing organizations involved in humanitarian assistance, and highlights actions to address and resolve armed violence and conflict.

"Wounds of War" presents ten country profiles, along with information on eleven key topics related to the impacts of war, including the economies of war, small arms and light weapons, landmines, violence against women and girls, and missing persons.

Fundamentalism, the Scopes Trial, and the Making of the Antievolution Movement

By Michael Lienesch

£37.14 15 Jan 2012 Audio Cd The University of North Carolina Press

Reaching back to the origins of antievolutionism in the 1920s, and continuing to the promotion of intelligent design today, Michael Lienesch skillfully analyzes the creationism movement, one of the most formidable political movements of the twentieth century. With fresh insights, Lienesch retells the story of the 1925 Scopes monkey trial and reinterprets its meaning. In tracking the movement from that time to today, he explores the rise of creation science in the 1960s, the alliance with the New Christian Right in the 1980s, and the development of the theory of intelligent design in our own time. He concludes by speculating on its place in the politics of the twenty-first century.

Politics and Propaganda

21 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Nicholas Jackson O'Shaughnessy

£30.50 21 Nov 2011 Hardback The University of Michigan Press

In Politics and Propaganda Nicholas O'Shaughnessy shows us why propaganda continues to be one of the prime movers of human history.

O'Shaughnessy, renowned author, scholar, and founder of the cutting-edge field of political marketing, explores one of the most-studied but least-understood aspects of civilized society. His comprehensive study of rhetoric, myth, and symbol explains both the evolution of propaganda and its continued success in the modern and post-modern eras. The result is an elegantly argued analysis that draws on a veritable encyclopedia of examples to explain the persistent appeal of disinformation in an age of high media literacy and intense political and social skepticism.

£65.00 21 Oct 2011 Hardback Taylor & Francis Ltd

As the Kyoto Protocol limps along without the participation of the US and Australia, ongoing climate negotiations are plagued by competing national and business interests that are creating stumbling blocks to success. This book approaches the road blocks from five professional perspectives: a top policy maker, a senior negotiator, a leading scientist, an international lawyer and a sociologist who is observing the process. The authors identify the major problems including great power strategies (the EU, the US and Russia), leadership, the role of NGOs, capacity and knowledge building, airline industry emissions, insurance and risk transfer-instruments, problems of cost/benefit analysis, the IPCC in the post-Kyoto situation and verification and institutional design. They also identify and assess facilitation strategies designed to cope with different kinds of stumbling blocks with the goal of keeping climate discussions moving towards international agreement and long-term success.

By John Harrison
