The Letters of Ernest HemingwayVolume 3: 1926–1929
Edited by Rena Sanderson Sandra Spanier Robert W. TrogdonBoise State University, Idaho Pennsylvania State University Kent State University, Ohio
The eagerly anticipated third edition follows a rising star as he emerges from the literary Left Bank of Paris to become a preeminent American writer. Legendary Scribner’s editor Maxwell Perkins takes the young Hemingway under his wing to publish what would become a signature work of the twentieth century: The Sun Also Rises (1926). Hemingway’s letters of this period also reflect landmark events in his personal life, including the dissolution of his first marriage, his remarriage, and the suicide of his father. This is Hemingway in his own words at the turning point of his career: on the cusp of celebrity as one of the major writers of his time.
PraISe fOr VOlUmeS 1 and 2:
‘Devotees will find this and future volumes indispensable.’
Library Journal
‘A literary treasure trove … Where Hemingway’s published works had all been so deliberate and painstakingly chiseled, his letters were free-form and expansive - unsanded and unvarnished. … His letters may prove to be the most honest log of Hemingway’s fascinating life-voyage, the truest sentences he ever wrote. … Their value cannot be overstated.’

A Concise History of the WorldMerry Wiesner-HanksUniversity of Wisconsin, milwaukee
This book tells the story of humankind as producers and reproducers from the Paleolithic to the present. Renowned social and cultural historian Merry Wiesner-Hanks brings a new perspective to world history by examining social and cultural developments across the globe, including families and kin groups, social and gender hierarchies, sexuality, race and ethnicity, labor, religion, consumption, and material culture. She examines how these structures and activities changed over time through local processes and interactions with other cultures, highlighting key developments that defined particular eras such as the growth of cities or the creation of a global trading network. Incorporating foragers, farmers and factory workers along with shamans, scribes and secretaries, the book widens and lengthens human history. It makes comparisons and generalizations, but also notes diversities and particularities, as it examines the social and cultural matters that are at the heart of big questions in world history today.
Merry Wiesner-Hanks is a Distinguished Professor and Chair of the History Department at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She is the long-time senior editor of the Sixteenth Century Journal, one of three editors of the Journal of Global History, and the editor-in-chief of the forthcoming multi-volume Cambridge World History.

Prime Numbers and the riemann HypothesisBarry MazurHarvard University, massachusetts
and William SteinUniversity of Washington
Prime numbers are beautiful, mysterious, and beguiling mathematical objects. The mathematician Bernhard Riemann made a celebrated conjecture about primes in 1859, the so-called Riemann Hypothesis, which remains to be one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. Through the deep insights of the authors, this book introduces primes and explains the Riemann Hypothesis. Students with minimal mathematical background and scholars alike will enjoy this comprehensive discussion of primes. The first part of the book will inspire the curiosity of a general reader with an accessible explanation of the key ideas. The exposition of these ideas is generously illuminated by computational graphics that exhibit the key concepts and phenomena in enticing detail. Readers with more mathematical experience will then go deeper into the structure of primes and see how the Riemann Hypothesis relates to Fourier analysis using the vocabulary of spectra. Readers with a strong mathematical background will be able to connect these ideas to historical formulations of the Riemann Hypothesis.
Barry Mazur is Gerhard Gade University Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. He is the author of Imagining Numbers: (Particularly the Square Root of Minus Fifteen) and coeditor, with Apostolos Doxiadis, of Circles Disturbed: The Interplay of Mathematics and Narrative.
William Stein is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Washington. Author of Elementary Number Theory: Primes, Congruences, and Secrets: A Computational Approach, he is also the founder of the Sage mathematical software project.

What if the Exodus had never happened? What if the Jews of Spain had not been expelled in 1492? What if Eastern Europe Jews had never been confined to the Russian Pale of Settlement? What if Adolf Hitler had been assassinated in 1939? What if a Jewish State had been established in Uganda instead of Palestine? Gavriel D. Rosenfeld’s pioneering anthology examines how these and other counterfactual questions would have affected the course of Jewish history. Featuring essays by sixteen distinguished scholars in the field of Jewish studies, What Ifs of Jewish History is the first volume to systematically apply counterfactual reasoning to the Jewish past. Written in a variety of narrative styles, ranging from the analytical to the literary, the essays cover three thousand years of dramatic events and invite readers to indulge their imaginations and explore how the course of Jewish history might have been different.

The Material AtlanticClothing the New World, 1650–1800
Robert S. DuPlessisSwarthmore College, Pennsylvania
In this wide-ranging account, Robert S. DuPlessis examines globally sourced textiles that by dramatically altering consumer behaviour, helped create new economies and societies in the early modern world. This deeply researched history of cloth and clothing offers new insights into trade patterns, consumer demand and sartorial cultures that emerged across the Atlantic world between the mid-seventeenth and late-eighteenth centuries. As a result of European settlement and the construction of commercial networks stretching across much of the planet, men and women across a wide spectrum of ethnicities, social standings and occupations fashioned their garments from materials old and new, familiar and strange, and novel meanings came to be attached to different fabrics and modes of dress. The Material Atlantic illuminates crucial developments that characterised early modernity, from colonialism and slavery to economic innovation and new forms of social identity.

Earthquake Time BombsRobert YeatsOregon State University
In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an ‘earthquake time-bomb’, a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, a catastrophic earthquake struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and triggering a humanitarian crisis. In this timely study, yeats sheds new light on other earthquake hot-spots around the world and the communities at risk. He examines these seismic threats in the context of recent cultural history, including economic development, national politics and international conflicts. Descriptions of emerging seismic resilience plans from some cities provide a more hopeful picture. Essential reading for policy-makers, infrastructure and emergency planners, scientists, students and anyone living in the shadow of an earthquake, this book raises the alarm so that we can protect our vulnerable cities before it’s too late.
Robert yeats is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Geological Society of America. He is senior consultant and partner in Earth Consultants International,aninternationalfirmfocusingonearthquakehazards,andalsoanEmeritusProfessor at Oregon State University, where an endowed professorship has been named in his honour. He has decades of experience in earthquake geology worldwide, including acting as chair of an active fault working group of the International Lithosphere Program for several years and writing four previous books: Geology of Earthquakes (with Kerry Sieh and Clarence R.

Climate Change: A Wicked ProblemComplexity and Uncertainty at the Intersection of Science, Economics, Politics, and Human Behavior
Frank P. IncroperaUniversity of notre dame, Indiana
Under one cover, Frank Incropera provides a comprehensive, objective and critical assessment of all issues germane to the climate change debate: science, technology options, economic ramifications, cultural and behavioural issues, the influence of special interests and public policy, geopolitics and ethical dimensions. The underlying science is treated in depth, but in an approachable and accessible manner. A strong case is made for the reality of anthropogenic climate change, while confronting the range of issues that remain uncertain and deconstructing opposing views. Incropera assesses the strengths and weaknesses of technology options for mitigating the effects of climate change, analyzes nontechnical factors – economic, cultural and political – and provides an in-depth treatment of ethical implications. This book is intended for those wishing to become fully informed about climate change and is designed to provide the reader with a firm foundation for drawing his or her own conclusions.

The ‘Colored Hero’ of Harper’s FerryJohn Anthony Copeland and the War against Slavery
Steven Lubetnorthwestern University, Illinois
On the night of Sunday, October 16, 1859, hoping to bring about the eventual end of slavery, radical abolitionist John Brown launched an armed attack at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. Among his troops, there were only five black men, who have largely been treated as little more than ‘spear carriers’ by Brown’s many biographers and other historians of the antebellum era. This book brings one such man, John Anthony Copeland, directly to center stage. Copeland played a leading role in the momentous Oberlin slave rescue, and he successfully escorted a fugitive to Canada, making him an ideal recruit for Brown’s invasion of Virginia. He fought bravely at Harpers Ferry, only to be captured and charged with murder and treason. With his trademark lively prose and compelling narrative style, Steven Lubet paints a vivid portrait of this young black man who gave his life for freedom.
Steven Lubet is the Edna B. and Ednyfed H. Williams Memorial Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law and a leading authority on African American resistance to slavery and notable trials in American history. He is the award-winning author of numerous books, including Murder in Tombstone: The Forgotten Trial of Wyatt Earp, Fugitive Justice: Runaways, Rescuers, and Slavery on Trial and John Brown’s Spy: The Adventurous Life and Tragic Confession of John E.

A Concise History of International FinanceFrom Babylon to Bernanke
Larry NealUniversity of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Ever since the financial crisis of 2008, doubts have been raised about the future of capitalism. In this broadranging survey of financial capitalism from antiquity to the present, Larry Neal reveals the ways in which the financial innovations throughout history have increased trade and prosperity as well as improving standards of living. These innovations have, however, all too often led to financial crises as a result of the failure of effective coordination among banks, capital markets, and governments. The book examines this key interrelationship between financial innovation, government regulation and financial crises across three thousand years, showing through past successes and failures the key factors which underpin any successful recovery and sustain economic growth. The result is both an essential introduction to financial capitalism and also a series of workable solutions that will help both to preserve the gains we have already achieved and to mitigate the dangers of future crises.
Larry Neal is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics (2006–2014). His recent publications include editing The Cambridge History of Capitalism in 2 volumes: The Rise of Capitalism: From Ancient Origins to 1848 and The Spread of Capitalism: From 1848 to the Present (Cambridge, 2014); and I Am Not Master of Events: The Speculations of John Law and Lord Londonderry in the Mississippi and South Sea Bubbles (2012).

The Impact of Discovering Life Beyond EarthEdited by Steven J. Dicklibrary of Congress, Washington dC
The search for life in the Universe, once the domain of science fiction, is now a robust research program with a well-defined roadmap, from studying the extremes of life on Earth to exploring the possible niches for life in the Solar System and discovering thousands of planets far beyond it. In addition to constituting a major scientific endeavor, astrobiology is one of the most popular topics in astronomy, and is of growing interest to a broad community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds.

DynastiesA Global History of Power, 1300–1800
Jeroen DuindamUniversiteit leiden
For thousands of years, societies have fallen under the reign of a single leader, ruling as chief, king, or emperor. In this fascinating global history of medieval and early modern dynastic power, Jeroen Duindam charts the rise and fall of dynasties, the rituals of rulership, and the contested presence of women on the throne. From European, African, Mughal, Ming-Qing and Safavid dynasties to the Ottoman Empire, Tokugawa Japan and Choson Korea, he reveals the tension between the ideals of kingship and the lives of actual rulers, the rich variety of arrangements for succession, the households or courts which catered to rulers’ daily needs, and the relationship between the court and the territories under its control. The book integrates numerous African examples, sets dynasties within longer-term developments such as the rise of the state, and examines whether the tensions inherent in dynastic power led inexorably to cycles of ascent and decline.

A Concise History of AustraliaFourth edition
Stuart MacintyreUniversity of melbourne
Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands years old. For much of the past 225 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and describes how they brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free country and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been accompanied by the feeling of rootlessness. The fourth edition incorporates the far-reaching effects of an export and investment boom in the early years of the twenty-first century that lifted Australia to unprecedented prosperity. The sale of minerals and energy enabled the economy to withstand the global financial crisis of 2007–08 but there was no agreement on how the wealth was to be managed and its benefits distributed. The book describes a continuing search for solutions to climate change, the unauthorised arrival of refugees, Indigenous disadvantage and generational change.
Stuart Macintyre is an Emeritus Laureate Professor of the University of Melbourne. From 1999 to 2006 he was Dean of the Faculty of Arts, and he has served as president of the Australian Historical Association and the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. His books include The Oxford History of Australia, Volume 4 (1986), The History Wars (2003) and, most recently, Australia’s Boldest Experiment: War and Reconstruction in the 1940s (2015).

Lincoln’s EthicsThomas Carsonloyola University, Chicago
Unlike many important leaders and historical figures, Abraham Lincoln is generally regarded as a singularly good and morally virtuous human being. Lincoln’s Ethics assesses Lincoln’s moral character and his many morally fraught decisions regarding slavery and the rights of African-Americans, as well as his actions and policies as commander in chief during the Civil War. Some of these decisions and policies have been the subject of considerable criticism. Lincoln undoubtedly possessed many important moral virtues, such as kindness and magnanimity, to a very high degree. Despite this, there are also grounds to question the goodness of his character. Many fault him as a husband, father and son, and many claim that he was a racist. Carson explains Lincoln’s virtues and assesses these criticisms.
Thomas L. Carson is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University, Chicago. He is the author of three other books: The Status of Morality (1984), Value and the Good Life (2000) and Lying and Deception: Theory and Practice (2010).

HumeAn Intellectual Biography
James A. HarrisUniversity of St andrews, Scotland
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire career of one of Britain’s greatest men of letters. It sets in biographical and historical context all of Hume’s works, from A Treatise of Human Nature to The History of England, bringing to light the major influences on the course of Hume’s intellectual development and paying careful attention to the differences between the wide variety of literary genres with which Hume experimented. The major events in Hume’s life are fully described, but the main focus is on Hume’s intentions as a philosophical analyst of human nature, politics, commerce, English history and religion. Careful attention is paid to Hume’s intellectual relations with his contemporaries. The goal is to reveal Hume as a man intensely concerned with the realization of an ideal of open-minded, objective, rigorous, dispassionate dialogue about all the principal questions faced by his age.
James A. Harris is Reader in the History of Philosophy at the University of St Andrews. He is the author of Of Liberty and Necessity: The Free Will Debate in Eighteenth-Century British Philosophy (2005). He is also the editor of The Oxford Handbook of British Philosophy in the Eighteenth Century (2013).

Joseph J. FinsCornell University, new York
Through the sobering story of Maggie Worthen and her mother, Nancy, this book tells of one family’s struggle with severe brain injury and how developments in neuroscience call for a reconsideration of what society owes patients at the edge of consciousness. Drawing upon over fifty in-depth family interviews, the history of severe brain injury from Quinlan to Schiavo, and his participation in landmark clinical trials, such as the first use of deep brain stimulation in the minimally conscious state, Joseph J. Fins captures the paradox of medical and societal neglect even as advances in neuroscience suggest new ways to mend the broken brain. Responding to the dire care provided to these marginalized patients, after heroically being saved, Fins places society’s obligations to patients with severe injury within the historical legacy of the civil and disability rights movements, offering a stirring synthesis of public policy and physician advocacy.

William Davis, Jr, MD Professor of Medical Ethics and Chief of the Division of Medical Ethics at Weill Cornell Medical College, where he also serves as Professor of Medicine, Professor of Health Care Policy and Research, and Professor of Medicine in Psychiatry.

Borderless WarsCivil Military Disorder and Legal Uncertainty
Antonia ChayesTufts University fletcher School of law and diplomacy
In 2011, Nasser Al-Awlaki, a terrorist on the US ‘kill list’ in yemen, was targeted by the CIA. A week later, a military strike killed his son. The following year, the US Ambassador to Pakistan resigned, undermined by CIA-conducted drone strikes of which he had no knowledge or control. The demands of the new, borderless ‘gray area’ conflict have cast civilians and military into unaccustomed roles with inadequate legal underpinning. As the Department of Homeland Security defends against cyber threats and civilian contractors work in paramilitary roles abroad, the legal boundaries of war demand to be outlined. In this book, former Under Secretary of the Air Force Antonia Chayes examines these new ‘gray areas’ in counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism and cyber warfare. Her innovative solutions for role definition and transparency will establish new guidelines in a rapidly evolving military-legal environment.
Antonia Chayes, former Under Secretary of the US Air Force, is Professor of Practice of International Politics and Law at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University. Author of numerous articles, co-author of The New Sovereignty, Chayes has served on several government Commissions and on the Board of United Technologies Corporation.

The Euro ExperimentThe Crisis Explained
Paul WallaceThe economist
How and why did the euro crisis happen? What are the implications for the economic and political future of Europe? The euro is an extraordinary political and economic experiment, the results of which are still highly uncertain. This book, written by a leading commentator on the economics of the European Union, provides a clear and analytical guide to the euro experiment and the subsequent crisis. Written in a balanced way that is neither pro-euro nor euro-sceptic, it explains the political forces that helped to create and maintain the single currency. Further, it argues that the recent crisis can be best understood in terms of six fundamental issues: sovereign debt, banking, private debt, macroeconomic imbalances, defective economic governance and the interplay of national and European politics. This accessible account will appeal to a wide readership, including general readers and students as well academics and policymakers working in banking and public policy.

The Politics of Gay Marriage in Latin AmericaArgentina, Chile, and Mexico
Jordi DíezUniversity of Guelph, Ontario
Addressing one of the defining social issues of our time, The Politics of Gay Marriage in Latin America explores how and why Latin America, a culturally Catholic and historically conservative region, has become a leader among nations of the Global South, and even the Global North, in the passage of gay marriage legislation. In the first comparative study of its kind, Jordi Díez explains cross-national variation in the enactment of gay marriage in three countries: Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. Based on extensive interviews in the three countries, Díez argues that three main key factors explain variation in policy outcomes across these cases: the strength of social movement networks forged by activists in favor of gay marriage; the access to policy making afforded by particular national political institutions; and the resonance of the frames used to demand the expansion of marriage rights to same-sex couples.
Jordi Díez is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Guelph. The author of four previous books, he has also published numerous journal articles on social movements and public policy.

Neoliberalising Old AgeJohn Macnicollondon School of economics and Political Science
Governments are encouraging later-life working and state pension ages are being raised. There is also a growing debate on intergenerational equity and on ageism/age discrimination. John Macnicol, one of Europe’s leading academic analysts of old age and ageing, examines the effect of neoliberalism on the recent ageing and social policy agenda in the UK and the USA. He argues that the demographic and economic impulses behind recent policy changes are in fact less important than the effect of neoliberalism as an ideology, which has caused certain key problems to be defined in a particular way. The book outlines past theories of old age and examines pensions reform, the debate on life expectancy gains, the causes of retirement, the idea of intergenerational equity, the current debate on ageism/age discrimination and the likely human consequences of raising state pension ages.
John Macnicol is Visiting Professor in Social Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He has published extensively on social policy, particularly the history of social policy. His previous books include Age Discrimination: An Historical and Contemporary Analysis (Cambridge, 2006), Paying for the Old: Old Age and Social Welfare Provision (2000) and The Politics of Retirement in Britain, 1878–1948 (Cambridge, 1998).

Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of Australia explores Australia’s history from
ancient times through to Federation in 1901. It begins with an archaeological
examination of the continent’s Indigenous history, which dates back 50,000 years.
This volume examines the first European encounters with Australia and its
Indigenous people, and the subsequent colonisation of the land by the British
in the late eighteenth century, providing insight into the realities of a convict
society and how this shaped the nation’s development.
Part I traces the dynamic growth in Australia’s economy, demography and
industry throughout the nineteenth century, as it moved towards a system of
liberal democracy and one of the most defining events in its history: the Federation
of the colonies in 1901. Part II offers a deeper investigation of key topics, such
as relations between Indigenous people and settlers, and Australia’s colonial
identity. It also covers the economy, science and technology, law and literature.
This volume is informed by a geographic sensibility: land emerges as a central
theme in Australian history, shaping its political, legal and social past; and the
authors examine regional and Australian–Pacific ideas of history and identity.
Alison Bashford is Professor of Modern History at the University of Sydney,

Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Australia covers the period 1901 to the
present day. It begins with the first day of the twentieth century, which saw
the birth of the Commonwealth of Australia. In Part I the fortunes of the new
nation-state are traced over time: a narrative of national policies, from the
initial endeavours to protect Australian living standards to the dismantling of
protection, and from maintenance of the integrity of a white settler society to
fashioning a diverse, multicultural one. These chapters relate how Australia
responded to external challenges – the two world wars, the Depression of the
1930s, the loss of markets in the 1970s – and adapted to changing expectations.
Part II takes up particular themes for closer attention. It is here that some
distinctive features of modern Australia are clarified: its enduring democracy
and political stability, engagement with a unique environment, the means
whereby Australians maintained prosperity, the treatment and aspirations of its
Indigenous inhabitants. The changing patterns of social relations are examined,
along with the forms of knowledge, religion, communication and creativity.
Chapters on Australia’s place in the world examine security, travel, the historical
links to Britain and engagement with Asia and the Pacific.
