Manufacturing Dissent
  • American Modernism and the Science of Belief
  • Stephanie Hawkins

  • Manufacturing Dissent reveals how the early twentieth century's 'lost generation' of writers, artists, and intellectuals combatted disinformation and 'fake news.' Cultural historians, literary scholars, and those interested in the power of literature to encourage critical thought and promote democracy will find this book of particular value. The book is interdisciplinary, focusing on the rich literary and artistic period of American modernism as a new site for examining the psychology of public opinion and the role of cognition in the formation of beliefs. The emerging twentieth-century neuroscience of 'plasticity,' habit, and attention that Harvard psychologist William James helped pioneer becomes fertile ground for an experimental variety of literature that Stephanie L. Hawkins argues is 'mind science' in its own right. Writers as diverse as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zora Neale Hurston, Ernest Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein sought a public-spirited critique of propaganda and disinformation that expresses their civic engagement in promoting democratic dissent.

The Autocratic Voter
  • Partisanship and Political Socialization under Dictatorship
  • Natalie Wenzell Letsa

  • In The Autocratic Voter, Natalie Wenzell Letsa explores the motivations behind why citizens in electoral autocracies choose to participate in politics and support political parties. With electoral autocracies becoming the most common type of regime in the modern world, Letsa challenges the dominant materialist framework for understanding political behavior and presents an alternative view of partisanship as a social identity. Her book argues that despite the irrationality and obstacles to participating in autocratic politics, people are socialized into becoming partisans by their partisan friends and family. This socialization process has a cascading effect that can either facilitate support for regime change and democracy or sustain the status quo. By delving into the social identity of partisanship, The Autocratic Voter offers a new perspective on political behavior in electoral autocracies that has the potential to shape the future of these regimes.

Getting Lost in the Novel
  • Strategic Confusion in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British Fiction
  • Amanda Auerbach
  • Coming soon

  • Instances abound in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novels where characters, particularly female characters, become lost, often moved by overwhelming emotion. Amanda Auerbach delves into the impact of these scenes on the character and the reader. On one level, 'getting lost' can realign a character's and our own sense of self and of social situation, while more broadly these instances reflect arcs within the overall narrative, highlighting easily-missed elements, sometimes even reflecting on our own experiences while reading. The emotions that move characters most powerfully often relate to their psychological needs, which the social conditions of their lives prevent them from meeting or fully acknowledging. These episodes appear across multiple novels in multiple subgenres, including the marriage plot, the gothic novel, the Victorian bildungsroman, and the sensation novel. These episodes collectively reveal how eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British novelistic subgenres developed to help women and working-class readers covertly satisfy their psychological needs.

Synoptic Paleoclimatology

  • Projecting regional climate change over the next century remains challenging due to the chaotic nature of weather, but it is made more reliable through reconstructions of paleoweather in relation to climate change in atmospheric and ocean circulation, winds, waves, currents and precipitation. This primer presents a cross-disciplinary treatment of large-scale and synoptic climatology to the reconstruction of past climates under the umbrella of synoptic paleoclimatology, providing the theory and application of synoptic paleoclimatology to the study and prediction of future climate evolution. Climate proxy and data-model assimilation methodologies are described in detail, focusing on coasts, the surface ocean, glaciers and ice sheets. It also presents a state-of-the-art synthesis of regional climate history across the Southern Hemisphere, including tropical coral reefs, coasts, alpine glaciers and Antarctica. This book will be invaluable to advanced students, researchers and practitioners in climatology, paleoclimatology, meteorology, coastal geoscience, glaciology, oceanography, global change and climate-risk assessment.

Punctuated Equilibria and Sino-American Relations
  • Lulls and Lurches across the Pacific
  • Steve Chan
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    August 2025

    31 August 2025
  • In many areas of the natural and physical world, long periods of seeming stasis or small incremental changes are interrupted by large, sudden leaps. This book illustrates how similar processes characterize international relations. This book points to such occurrences, for example the collapse of the USSR, the unravelling of Napoleon's wartime alliance, and the possible future status of the US dollar; and it illustrates in greater detail the admission of China to the United Nations, the history of economic development of various countries, and the possible formation of a countervailing coalition against US primacy. Steve Chan investigates these instances and explains the dynamics governing these processes of lulls and lurches and illuminates how qualitative research can apply the Boolean logic to study systematically the danger of a possible future Sino-American conflict based on past episodes.

  • The Cambridge Companion to James Joyce is an indispensable scholarly guide to one of the world's most important and influential writers. Fifteen chapters, each written by a leading Joyce scholar, address each of Joyce's major works, key contexts and important themes. This is both an accessible introduction for students and a lively resource for teachers and researchers. This is a much revised and expanded third edition, featuring eleven entirely new essays and four revised essays. The editorial matter (chronology and guide to further reading) has been written from scratch. The third edition creates more space for Joyce's fascination with gender, sex and bodies, and provides renewed attention to his engagement with Irish history. Scholarship on ecocriticism, serialization, editing and publishing is also represented for the first time. Joyce's most influential work, Ulysses, has two dedicated chapters covering different aspects and perspectives, as well as an chapter on its serialization.

The Experience of Work in Early Modern England

    31 August 2025
  • This book applies the innovative work-task approach to the history of work, which captures the contribution of all workers and types of work to the early modern economy. Drawing on tens of thousands of court depositions, the authors analyse the individual tasks that made up everyday work for women and men, shedding new light on the gender division of labour, and the ways in which time, space, age and marital status shaped sixteenth and seventeenth-century working life. Combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, the book deepens our understanding of the preindustrial economy, and calls for us to rethink not only who did what, but also the implications of these findings for major debates about structural change, the nature and extent of paid work, and what has been lost as well as gained over the past three centuries of economic development. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

The Psychology of System Change and Resistance to Change

Kant's Metaphysics of the Will
  • Freedom, Reason, and the Moral Law
  • Jaqueline Mariña
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

    31 August 2025
  • The idea of the individual as autonomous, capable of understanding through the use of reason what morality requires, and capable of doing the right thing because it is right, is one of the pillars of the Enlightenment, and Kant's ethics provides a robust account of the way in which the individual's capacity for moral insight, and freedom to make choices in accordance with such insight, are indispensable for any account of an authentic commitment to the objective good. Jacqueline Mariña situates Kant's ethical and metaethical arguments in the wider context of his claims in his critical works, convincingly rebutting recent claims that he did not succeed in showing that rational agents are necessarily bound by the moral law, and that he ended up with an empty moral dogmatism. Her book shows that the whole of Kant's critical works, both theoretical and practical, were much more coherent than many interpreters allow.

Land Rights Now
  • Global Voices on Indigenous Peoples and Land Justice

  • Land rights for Indigenous Peoples are a global phenomenon and have become an important part of the liberal democratic state. But despite the promise of restoring land rights to Indigenous Peoples, most land justice frameworks have preserved the status quo in what is a slow and arduous process. In this work, William Nikolakis draws from the diverse experiences of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and legal practitioners across the world to document both persistent barriers to 'Land Back' as well as opportunities to move forward for land justice. By bringing these voices together, Nikolakis seeks to share lessons from the land justice movement with the goal of advancing land rights for Indigenous Peoples across the world.

The new edition also connects historical development to urgent contemporary issues such as modern-day sustainability goals. This comprehensive guide provides students with both a historical narrative of Europe's economic transformation, and the essential tools for analysing it.

Compositional Abduction and Scientific Interpretation

  • Abductive reasoning is a form of inference that infers some hypothesis because of what that hypothesis explains. Unlike deductive reasoning, it yields a plausible conclusion but does not definitively verify it. The theory of compositional abduction developed in this book provides a novel theory of confirmation. Aizawa uses case studies to analyse how scientists interpret the results of experiments to support compositional hypotheses (hypotheses about what things are composed of) and suggests that they use a kind of abduction. His theory is offered as an alternative account of scientific reasoning that the logical empiricists would have interpreted as hypothetico-deductive confirmation. It is also an alternative to the Peircean interpretation of the role of abduction in science. It will be valuable to philosophers of science, those working on hypothetico-deductive confirmation, Peirce's view of abduction, inference to the best explanation, and the New Mechanism. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Redemption

  • Redemption is a sweeping new history of the largest and costliest campaign waged by US armed forces during the Pacific War. Peter Mansoor surveys the course of the Philippines campaign, from the Japanese invasion and the Filipino guerrilla operations which contested occupation to the US Army's return to Leyte and the subsequent battles of liberation. Central to the book is a re-evaluation of the leadership of General Douglas MacArthur, one of the most controversial military commanders in US history. At times brilliant, courageous, and politically astute, MacArthur was also egotistical, publicity hungry, often ignorant of conditions at the front, and self-certain to a fault. In their return to the Philippines, MacArthur and his forces liberated millions of Filipinos and severed a critical Japanese resource lifeline. But he also achieved something much rarer – redemption on the same ground and against the same enemy that defeated him earlier in the war.

  • What is compassion? Although a fundamental value in healthcare, this concept is often misunderstood and difficult to navigate. The authors of this book aim to answer this fundamental question, as well as offer a practical approach to how to use it in medicine. Comprised of two parts, the first part of this book explores the background to compassionate healthcare, examines how it differs from other concepts and outlines its relationship to medical professionalism. The second part offers a practical guide full of strategies and exercises to assist healthcare workers in practicing compassion by cultivating mindfulness and awareness, deepening compassion in care. This book is essential reading for medical professionals and trainees across healthcare, providing a guide to incorporating compassion into daily practice to deliver better, more compassionate care for the benefit of all. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Face and Form
  • Physiognomy in Literary Modernism

  • Modernism was obsessed with the ubiquitousness of the human face. Its conflicting dynamics of legibility and opacity fascinated Thomas Mann, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein and, later, Kōbō Abe, who framed their literary projects around the question of the face as a proxy for form, memory, intermediality, difference and combinations thereof. Modernism – it could be argued – rewrote the face. In the present day, recent developments such as mask wearing during the pandemic and the use of facial recognition technology during the Black Lives Matter protests have forced us to reflect on the social impact of obscuring faces, while also raising concerns about about the visibility of certain faces and how this might be abused. This book builds an arc between these recent conversations about the politics of the face and those physiognomic discourses that reflect modernism's long, complex and fascinating cultural history. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Syntax and Semantics of Petri Nets

  • Petri nets are one of the most popular tools for modeling distributed systems. This book provides a modern look at the theory behind them, by studying three classes of nets that model (i) sequential systems, (ii) non-communicating parallel systems, and (iii) communicating parallel systems. A decidable and causality respecting behavioral equivalence is presented for each class, followed by a modal logic characterization for each equivalence. The author then introduces a suitable process algebra for the corresponding class of nets and proves that the behavioral equivalence proposed for each class is a congruence for the operator of the corresponding process algebra. Finally, an axiomatization of the behavioral congruence is proposed. The theory is introduced step by step, with ordinary-language explanations and examples provided throughout, to remain accessible to readers without specialized training in concurrency theory or formal logic. Exercises with solutions solidify understanding, and the final chapter hints at extensions of the theory.
