Brand Storytelling: Put Customers at the Heart of Your Brand StoryMIRI RODRIGUEZDespite understanding essential storytelling techniques, brands continue to explain how their product or service can help the customer, rather than showcasing how the customer’s life has changed as a result of them. Brand Storytelling gets back to the heart of brand loyalty, consumer behaviour and engagement as a business strategy: using storytelling to trigger the emotions that humans are driven by. It provides a step by step guide to assess, dismantle and rebuild a brand story, shifting the brand from a ‘hero’ to ‘sidekick’ mentality, and positioning the customer as a key influencer to motivate the audience.

Surroundings: A History of Environments and EnvironmentalismsETIENNE S. BENSONGiven the ubiquity of environmental rhetoric in the modern world, it’s easy to think that the meaning of the terms environment and environmentalism are and always have been self-evident.

Benson uncovers the diversity of forms that environmentalism has taken over the last two centuries and opens our eyes to the promising new varieties of environmentalism that are emerging today. 16 halftones.

The Dangerous Words in ManagementFREDMUND MALIKIn the accepted wisdom of the corporate world, executives are supposed to be both charismatic and visionary, while middle management and lower tiers of employees are expected to be perpetually motivated and enthusiastic in the face of any change. Such talk comes easily to managers, but how accurate are these overfamiliar ideas? In The Dangerous Words in Management, Fredmund Malik—one of the world’s leading theorists of management—takes aim at the platitudes and clichés of his trade. Malik reveals the muddled thinking that lies behind much of the standard vocabulary of management. His book cuts through the company babble and makes a strong case for both clear thinking and straight talking.

Bounded RationalityGRAHAM MALLARDThis short book introduces the field of bounded rationality to a beginning readership in economics. It is intended to be a tour of the key concepts involved in the modelling of bounded rationality, the approaches that have been adopted and some of the most revealing, and at times surprising, findings that have been generated. The book explores how bounded rationality has been used in economic models to shed light on real life behaviour and how doing so has led to specific policy implications that would otherwise have gone unappreciated. The exposition is intended to be non-technical and free from any mathematical expressions and workings and the focus throughout is primarily on the behaviour of individuals or organisations within given situations rather than on macroeconomic concerns.The Economy Key Ideas.

Farming as Financial Asset: Global Finance and the Making of Institutional LandscapesSTEFAN OUMASince the global financial crisis, the world has seen a stark rise in financial investment in farming and agricultural production. Indeed, finance has been identified as one of the main causes of the so-called “global land rush”. Agriculture and land represent safe investment opportunities and in a world with a growing population that needs to be fed, the returns are a safe bet. The debate that this has caused in the media is frequently alarmist and financiers are blamed for rising land prices and intensification of land commodification across the globe.Stefan Ouma seeks to debunk the misconceptions and assumptions about “finance-gone-farming” with a penetrating analysis of case studies taken from both the developed and developing world.

ProductivityMICHAEL HAYNESMike Haynes provides a detailed examination of the concept of productivity, how it is used, and why it is held by economists to be so important in evaluating the health of modern economies. Haynes maintains that too little attention is paid to why productivity grows or fails to grow in certain contexts as well as the difficulties involved in measuring its scope. Using a range of case studies to illustrate his points, Haynes examines how real world variables such as social welfare, automation and the reorganization of global and local economies interact with measurements of efficiency and output.

Quantitative Easing: The Great Central Bank ExperimentJONATHAN ASHWORTHBefore the Great Financial Crisis of 2008–09, significant reductions in official interest rates in developed economies, often alongside fiscal stimulus, typically proved sufficient to generate sustainable economic recoveries from downturns. The exception was Japan, whom despite rock bottom interest rates and fiscal stimulus, experienced a “lost decade” of growth and deflation after the bursting of its massive real estate and stock market bubbles in 1989. In 2001 the Bank of Japan embarked on a new policy, which switched from targeting the price of money (interest rates) to the quantity of reserves it held – quantitative easing (QE).This book offers a thorough and perspicacious analysis of QE, what has become a recovery method of last resort, and will be essential reading for anyone wanting to understand central banking’s role in the national economy.

Undoing Work, Rethinking Community: A Critique of the Social Function of WorkJAMES A. CHAMBERLAINThis revolutionary book presents a new conception of community and the struggle against capitalism. In Undoing Work, Rethinking Community, James A. Chamberlain argues that paid work and the civic duty to perform it substantially undermines freedom and justice. Chamberlain believes that to seize back our time and transform our society, we must abandon the deep-seated view that community is constructed by work, whether paid or not.Chamberlain focuses on the regimes of flexibility and the unconditional basic income, arguing that while both offer prospects for greater freedom and justice, they also incur the risk of shoring up the work society rather than challenging it. To transform the work society, he shows that we must also reconfigure the place of paid work in our lives and rethink the meaning of community at a deeper level.

The World Economic Forum and Transnational NetworkingELIZABETH FRIESENThe World Economic Forum and Transnational Networking presents an informative investigation of the WEF as a political actor and important part of transnational civil society. Drawing upon extensive original research, Frisen analyzes the surprising role the WEF has played in international processes such as the campaign for the cancellation of third world debt, a campaign which culminated in the adoption of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative at the G8 in 2005. Her findings provoke even wider questions about the role and influence of other non-state organizations and about transnational politics.Emerald Points.

ENVIRONMENTEnergy, the Great Driver: Seven Revolutions and the Challenges of Climate ChangeR. GARETH WYN JONESExploring the relationships between energy, work, power, and material and social complexity over the last four billion years, this book suggests that in six revolutions this relationship has been fundamental to the trajectory of life on our planet. The stability of this growing complexity has required a parallel hierarchy of homeostatic, regulatory mechanisms, and Gareth Wyn Jones explains the profoundly disturbing implications of these twin hypotheses to the challenges of anthropogenic climate change. He asserts that a recognition of the underlying problems and trends is the beginning of wisdom and a new relationship with energy can enhance human well-being and our interaction with the rest of the natural world. 16 halftones.

HIGHER EDUCATIONThe Fully Functioning UniversityTOM BOURNER, ASHER ROSPIGLIOSI AND LINDA HEATHIncreasingly, the purpose and function of Western universities is being challenged and put under pressure to demonstrate value for students, policy, and society at large. Concurrently, the management and leadership of universities differs by institution and often prioritises one need over others. The three main goals that have persisted across the development of Higher Education in the Western world are: the higher education of students, the advancement of knowledge and service to those outside the university. In the history of the Western university one of these goals has always dominated.The Fully Functioning University introduces the concept of a ‘post-Humboldtian university’ which values each of these goals in its own right, and the ‘fully functioning university’ as one which expresses the three goals entirely.Great Debates in Higher Education.


HISTORY OF SCIENCECatastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity from Darwin to the AnthropoceneDAVID SEPKOSKIIt seems self-evident to most of us that diverse ecosystems and societies are intrinsically valuable, but the current fascination with diversity is a relatively recent phenomenon. In fact, the way we value diversity depends crucially on our sense that it is precarious—that it is something actively threatened, and that its loss could have profound consequences. In Catastrophic Thinking, Sepkoski uncovers how and why we learned to value diversity as a precious resource at the same time as we learned to think catastrophically about extinction. 15 halftones.science.culture. “An authoritative, compelling, and insightful account of how biological and cultural diversity has come to be so highly prized in contemporary Western society. This is a definitive history of the cultural and scientific developments, especially in paleontology, that have helped forge our sense of the modern biodiversity crisis. Lucid, historically sweeping, and accessible, Sepkoski’s book ably reconstructs key aspects of the larger culture in which ideas about extinction, catastrophe, and diversity emerged.”—Mark V.

Aesthetic Science: Representing Nature in the Royal Society of London, 1650-1720ALEXANDER WRAGGE-MORLEYThe scientists affiliated with the early Royal Society of London have long been regarded as forerunners of modern empiricism, rejecting the symbolic and moral goals of Renaissance natural history in favor of plainly representing the world as it really was. In Aesthetic Science, Alexander Wragge-Morley challenges this interpretation by arguing that key figures such as John Ray, Robert Boyle, Nehemiah Grew, Robert Hooke, and Thomas Willis saw the study of nature as an aesthetic project. To show how early modern naturalists conceived of the interplay between sensory experience and the production of knowledge, Aesthetic Science explores natural-historical and anatomical works of the Royal Society through the lens of the aesthetic. 11 halftones.

Rampling illuminates the role of alchemical reading and experimental practice in the broader context of national and scientific history. Using new manuscript sources, she shows how Roger Bacon, George Ripley, John Dee, Edward Kelley, and Isaac Newton, as well as many previously unknown alchemists, devised new practical approaches to alchemy, while seeking the support of English monarchs, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. 19 halftones and 2 tables.Synthesis.


Heredity under the Microscope: Chromosomes and the Study of the Human GenomeSORAYA DE CHADAREVIANBy focusing on chromosomes, Heredity under the Microscope offers a new history of postwar human genetics. Today chromosomes are understood as macromolecular assemblies and are analyzed with a variety of molecular techniques. Yet for much of the twentieth century, researchers studied chromosomes by looking down a microscope. Chromosome analysis offered a direct glimpse of the complete genome, opening up seemingly endless possibilities for observation and intervention. Critics, however, countered that visual evidence was not enough and pointed to the need to understand the molecular mechanisms. In telling this history in full for the first time, Soraya de Chadarevian argues that the often-bewildering variety of observations made under the microscope were central to the study of human genetics. 36 halftones.



Shaping Science: Organizations, Decisions, and Culture on NASA’s TeamsJANET VERTESIIn Shaping Science, Janet Vertesi draws on a decade of immersive ethnography with NASA’s robotic spacecraft teams to create a comparative account of two great space missions of the early 2000s. Although these missions appear to feature robotic explorers on the frontiers of the solar system, bravely investigating new worlds, their commands were issued from millions of miles away by a very human team. By examining the two teams’ formal structures, decision-making techniques, and informal work practices in the day-to-day process of mission planning, Vertesi shows just how deeply entangled a team’s local organizational context is with the knowledge they produce about other worlds. 12 halftones.


The Whale and the Reactor: A Search for Limits in an Age of High Technology 2edLANGDON WINNERFirst published to great acclaim in 1986, Langdon Winner’s groundbreaking exploration of the political, social, and philosophical implications of technology is timelier than ever. He demonstrates that choices about the kinds of technical systems we build and use are actually choices about who we want to be and what kind of world we want to create—technical decisions are political decisions, and they involve profound choices about power, liberty, order, and justice. A seminal text in the history and philosophy of science, this new edition includes a new chapter, preface, and postscript by the author.

Despotism on Demand: How Power Operates in the Flexible WorkplaceALEX J. WOODDespotism on Demand draws attention to the impact of flexible scheduling on managerial power and workplace control. When we understand paid work as a power relationship, argues Alex J. Wood, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace.Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffer a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary “flexible firm” is achieved through the insidious combination of “flexible discipline” and “schedule gifts.” “Despotism on Demand is brimming with ambition and imagination. Based on outstanding fieldwork, it rises above many such ethnographies in its theoretical sophistication.”—Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHYReason and Character: The Moral Foundations of Aristotelian Political PhilosophyLORRAINE SMITH PANGLEWhat does it mean to live a good life or a happy life, and what part does reason play in the quest for fulfillment? Proceeding by means of a close and thematically selective commentary on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, this book offers a novel interpretation of Aristotle’s teachings on the relation between reason and moral virtue. Pangle shows how Aristotle’s arguments for virtue as the core of happiness and for reason as the guide to virtue emerge in dialectical response to Socrates’s paradoxical claim that virtue is knowledge and vice is ignorance, and as part of a politically complex project of giving guidance to lawgivers and ordinary citizens while offering spurs to deep theoretical reflection. “Pangle’s book offers a singularly illuminating, meticulous, and learned examination of one of the two central works of classical political philosophy: Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. (The other central work is Plato’s Republic.) Her argument that Aristotle ultimately offers a subtle, humane, socially responsible critique of the more conventional accounts of moral responsibility is all the more powerful because of her attention to Aristotle’s overall discussion and because of her careful exegesis of the text.”— Peter Ahrensdorf, Davidson College

Socrates Founding Political Philosophy in Xenophon’s “Economist”, “Symposium”, and “Apology”THOMAS L. PANGLEThe oeuvre of the Greek historian Xenophon, whose works stand with those of Plato as essential accounts of the teachings of Socrates, has seen a new surge of attention after decades in the shadows. And no one has done more in recent years to spearhead the revival than Thomas L. Pangle. Here, Pangle provides a sequel to his study of Xenophon’s longest account of Socrates, the Memorabilia, expanding the scope of inquiry through an incisive treatment of Xenophon’s shorter Socratic dialogues, the Economist, the Symposium, and the Apology of Socrates to the Jury.


POLITICAL SCIENCEBlack Gold and Blackmail: Oil and Great Power PoliticsROSEMARY A. KELANICBlack Gold and Blackmail seeks to explain why great powers adopt such different strategies to protect their oil access from politically motivated disruptions. In extreme cases, such as Imperial Japan in 1941, great powers fought wars to grab oil territory in anticipation of a potential embargo by the Allies; in other instances, such as Germany in the early Nazi period, states chose relatively subdued measures like oil alliances or domestic policies to conserve oil. What accounts for this variation? Fundamentally, it is puzzling that great powers fear oil coercion at all because the global market makes oil sanctions very difficult to enforce.

The Challenges of MultilateralismKATHRYN C. LAVELLEMultilateral initiatives have brought about striking, yet diverging, results. International organizations often struggle with the nationalist impulses of member states, different and shifting goals, and a lack of enforcement methods. Here, Kathryn Lavelle offers a history of multilateralism from its origins to the present. Lavelle focuses on the creation and evolution of major problem-solving organizations, examines the governmental challenges they have confronted and continue to face from both domestic and transnational constituencies, and considers how nongovernmental organizations facilitate their work. 17 black and white illustrations.

The Consequences of Humiliation: Anger and Status in World PoliticsJOSLYN BARNHARTThe Consequences of Humiliation explores the nature of national humiliation and its impact on foreign policy. Joslyn Barnhart demonstrates that Germany’s catastrophic reaction to humiliation at the end of World War I is part of a broader pattern: states that experience humiliating events are more likely to engage in international aggression aimed at restoring the state’s image in its own eyes and in the eyes of others. Her examination of how national humiliation functions at the individual level explores the domestic incentives that leaders have to evoke a sense of national humiliation. As a result, the effects of national humiliation may persist for decades, if not centuries, following the original humiliating event. 6 black and white line drawings and 14 charts.


Herodotus in the AnthropoceneJOEL ALDEN SCHLOSSERWe are living in the age of the Anthropocene, in which human activities are recognized for effecting potentially catastrophic environmental change. In this book, Joel Alden Schlosser argues that our current state of affairs calls for a creative political response, and he finds inspiration in an unexpected source: the ancient writings of the Greek historian Herodotus. Focusing on the Histories, written in the fifth century BCE, Schlosser identifies a cluster of concepts that allow us to better grasp the dynamic complexity of a world in flux.


Institution Building in Weak States: The Primacy of Local PoliticsANDREW RADINThe effort to improve state institutions in post-conflict societies is a complicated business. Even when foreign intervention is carried out with the best of intentions and the greatest resources, it often fails. What can account for this failure? In Institution Building in Weak States, Andrew Radin argues that the international community’s approach to building state institutions needs its own reform. This innovative book proposes a new strategy, rooted in a rigorous analysis of recent missions.

The Oil Wars Myth: Petroleum and the Causes of International Conflict EMILY MEIERDINGDo countries fight wars for oil? Given the resource’s exceptional military and economic importance, most people assume that states will do anything to obtain it. Challenging this conventional wisdom, The Oil Wars Myth reveals that countries do not launch major conflicts to acquire petroleum resources. Emily Meierding argues that the costs of foreign invasion, territorial occupation, international retaliation, and damage to oil company relations deter even the most powerful countries from initiating “classic oil wars.” Examining a century of interstate violence, she demonstrates that, at most, countries have engaged in mild sparring to advance their petroleum ambitions.


Politics for Everybody: Reading Hannah Arendt in Uncertain TimesNED O’GORMANIn this age of nearly unprecedented partisan rancor, you’d be forgiven for thinking we could all do with a smaller daily dose of politics. In his provocative and sharp book, however, Ned O’Gorman argues just the opposite: Politics for Everybody contends that what we really need to do is engage more deeply with politics, rather than chuck the whole thing out the window. In calling for a purer, more humanistic relationship with politics—one that does justice to the virtues of open, honest exchange—O’Gorman draws on the work of Hannah Arendt (1906–75). 10 halftones.


The Responsibilities of DemocracyJOHN MAJOR AND NICK CLEGGDemocracy operates on consent. That means politicians have an obligation to present and argue their causes in order to ultimately win consensus. Above all, democracy requires honesty—in facing up to challenges, acknowledging fears and dangers, and admitting the limitations of government. But democracy has its flaws, not least in the lack of efficiency in the decision-making process. Amid pressing questions about the nature and limits of democracy, both in Britain and beyond, The Responsibilities of Democracy provides a clear-eyed perspective shared by two former politicians. Two central figures of the British political establishment, former UK Prime Minister (1990-1997) John Major and former UK Deputy Prime Minister (2010-2015) Nick Clegg, share their thoughts on where democracy is heading and how it can survive in the twenty-first century.Haus Curiosities.

What is Anarchism?: Conversations with Mehdi Belhaj Kacem and Assia Turquier-Zauberman DAVID GRAEBERGraeber has offered up perhaps the most credible path for exiting capitalism—as much through his writing about debt, bureaucracy, or “bullshit jobs” as through his crucial involvement in the Occupy Wall Street movement, which led to his more-or-less involuntary exile from the American academy. In short, What is Anarchism? presents a series of interviews with a first-rate intellectual, a veritable modern hero on the order of Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Linus Torvald, Aaron Swartz, and Elon Musk.Interviewers Mehdi Belhaj Kacem and Assia Turquier-Zauberman ask Graeber not only about the history of anarchy, but also about its contemporary relevance and future.

POLITICSThe Politics of Losing: Trump, the Klan, and the Mainstreaming of ResentmentRORY MCVEIGH AND KEVIN ESTEPThe Ku Klux Klan has peaked three times in American history: after the Civil War, around the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, and in the 1920s, when the Klan spread farthest and fastest. Recruiting millions of members even in non-Southern states, the Klan’s nationalist insurgency burst into mainstream politics. In The Politics of Losing, Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep trace the parallels between the 1920s Klan and today’s right-wing backlash, identifying the conditions that allow white nationalism to emerge from the shadows. Their sociological analysis of the Klan’s outbreaks sheds light on how Trump’s rise to power was made possible by a convergence of circumstances.

SCIENCEMechanisms Of EvolutionBORJE EKSTIGThe book introduces fresh ideas about biological and cultural evolution united in a set of common mechanisms. The principle of natural selection is analyzed especially regarding its possible applications to human culture, language and science. The concept of complexity has been given an operational definition that is found to be prevalent all over evolutionary history, thus suggesting a progressive evolutionary course. So this book thus builds on a unique discovery of a relation between the developmental and evolutionary processes and presents several novel mechanisms common to biological and cultural evolution in the context of complexity.Exploring Complexity.

Select a Sample: Little Quick FixPAUL SILVIAWhether students are working with existing data or generating their own, sampling is a deceptively complicated and anxiety-inducing process especially when participants are people. Pressured by the usual limitations on time, access, and resources, students can panic at the thought that sampling involves theory and calculations and make snap decisions that usually lead to convenience sampling and ultimately, weak research claims. This Fix takes the panic out of sampling designs and helps students understand what sampling is, how it applies to different types of situations, and how to decide what approach works best for their project so they can maximize the impact of their research.Little Quick Fix.
