HISTORY

SUN TZU IN THE WEST

The Anglo-American Art of War

It would be hard to overstate the impact of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War on military thought. Beyond its impact in Asia, the work has been required reading in translation for US military personnel since the Cold War. Sun Tzu has been interpreted as arguing for ‘Indirect Strategy’ in contrast to ‘Direct Strategy,’ the latter idea stemming from Ancient Greece. This is a product of twentiethcentury Western thinking, specifically that of Liddell Hart, who influenced Samuel B. Griffith’s 1963 translation of Sun Tzu. The credibility of Griffith’s translation was enhanced by his combat experience in the Pacific during World War II, and his translation of Mao Zedong’s On Guerrilla War. This reading of Sun Tzu is, however, very different from Chinese interpretations. Western strategic thinkers have used Sun Tzu as a foil or facilitator for their own thinking, inadvertently engaging the Western military tradition and propagating misleading generalizations about Chinese warfare.

KEY FEATURES

• Provides an overview of the place of Sun Tzu’s Art of War in Chinese history and culture

• Shows that Sunzi has been used as a symbol of strategy, and has no recoverable ‘true’ meaning

• For military history/strategy enthusiasts, as well as historians and scholars interested in China

JAPAN’S OCEAN BORDERLANDS

Nature and Sovereignty

Columbia University, New York

Desert islands are the focus of intense geopolitical tensions in East Asia today, but they are also sites of nature conservation. In this global environmental history, Paul Kreitman shows how the politics of conservation have entangled with the politics of sovereignty since the emergence of the modern Japanese state in the mid-nineteenth century. Using case studies ranging from Hawai‘i to the Bonin Islands to the Senkaku (Ch: Diaoyu) Isles to the South China Sea, he explores how bird islands on the distant margins of the Japanese archipelago and beyond transformed from sites of resource extraction to outposts of empire and from wartime battlegrounds to nature reserves. This study examines how interactions between birds, bird products, bureaucrats, speculators, sailors, soldiers, scientists and conservationists shaped ongoing claims to sovereignty over oceanic spaces. It considers what the history of desert islands shows us about imperial and post-imperial power, the web of political, economic and ecological connections between islands and oceans, and about the relationship between sovereignty, territory and environment in the modern world.

WHY IT WILL SELL

KEY FEATURES

• Emphasizes connections and parallels between Japanese, Pacific and East Asian history on a human and global scale

HITLER’S PANZER GENERALS

Guderian, Hoepner, Reinhardt and Schmidt Unguarded

University of New South Wales, Canberra

Germany’s success in the Second World War was built upon its tank forces; however, many of its leading generals, with the notable exception of Heinz Guderian, are largely unknown. This biographical study of four German panzer army commanders serving on the Eastern Front is based upon their unpublished wartime letters to their wives. David Stahel offers a complete picture of the men conducting Hitler’s war in the East, with an emphasis on the private fears and public pressures they operated under. He also illuminates their response to the criminal dimension of the war as well as their role as leading military commanders conducting large-scale operations. While the focus is on four of Germany’s most important panzer generals –Guderian, Hoepner, Reinhardt and Schmidt – the evidence from their private correspondence sheds new light on the broader institutional norms and cultural ethos of the Wehrmacht’s Panzertruppe.

KEY FEATURES

WHY IT WILL SELL

• Reveals the inner lives of four of Germany’s key panzer commanders on the Eastern Front through their intimate letters

• Provides a deeper insight into the generals and the role they played in the Barbarossa campaign and in German criminality in the east

• Sheds new light on the wider culture within the Panzertruppe

CONTENTS

Introduction; 1. The letters of the Panzer generals: validity, veracity and verification;

2. The private generals: embracing family and war; body, mind and soul; Burdens of the heart; Burdens of command; 3. The public generals: military celebrity; Charm offensives; Status symbols; The power of privilege; 4. The criminal generals: enemy in the East; Criminal orders; The war behind the front; War of annihilation; 5. The military generals: Delusion and disclosure; Discord and dysfunction; Operational silences; Narcissistic command; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

PEACEMAKING AND INTERNATIONAL ORDER AFTER THE FIRST WORLD WAR

The Paris peace settlements following the First World War remain amongst the most controversial treaties in history. Bringing together leading international historians, this volume assesses the extent to which a new international order, combining old and new political forms, emerged from the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918. Taking account of new historiographical perspectives and methodological approaches to the study of peacemaking after the First World War, it views the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918 as a site of remarkable innovations in the practice of international politics. The contributors address how a wide range of actors set out new ways of thinking about international order, established innovative institutions, and revolutionised the conduct of international relations. They illustrate the ways in which these innovations were merged with existing practices, institutions, and concepts to shape the international order that emerged out of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919.

KEY FEATURES

BROODING OVER BLOODY REVENGE

Enslaved Women’s Lethal Resistance

From the colonial through the antebellum era, enslaved women in the US used lethal force as the ultimate form of resistance. By amplifying their voices and experiences, Brooding over Bloody Revenge strongly challenges assumptions that enslaved women only participated in covert, non-violent forms of resistance, when in fact they consistently seized justice for themselves and organized toward revolt. Nikki M. Taylor expertly reveals how women killed for deeply personal instances of injustice committed by their owners. The stories presented, which span centuries and legal contexts, demonstrate that these acts of lethal force were carefully pre-meditated. Enslaved women planned how and when their enslavers would die, what weapons and accomplices were necessary, and how to evade capture in the aftermath. Original and compelling, Brooding Over Bloody Revenge presents a window into the lives and philosophies of enslaved women who had their own ideas about justice and how to achieve it.

KEY FEATURES

WHY IT WILL SELL

• Challenges assumptions that enslaved women only participated in covert, nonviolent forms of resistance

• Details the complex lives of enslaved women through case studies that span the colonial through the antebellum era

• Delves into each case study to illustrate the shared plight across time

• Illuminates how enslaved women were highly organized and responded consistently and powerfully to acts of injustice

• Contests much of the literature on slavery by detailing graphic violence committed by black women toward white enslavers

EPIDEMIC CITIES

Epidemic Cities provides an overview of the history of epidemics through a particular focus on a range of cities in different regions of the world. The dual focus on both epidemics and specific cities provides an unusual perspective on global history: the analysis of globally circulating epidemics enables reconstructing a variety of wide-reaching entanglements, on the one hand. On the other hand, the concentration with specific urban settings highlights differences and the unevenness engendered by global entanglements. After an introduction concerning the history of the relationship between medicine, epidemics, and cities, the book focuses on the history of three epidemic diseases and how they affected Paris, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Bombay, and Baltimore. The timings of major pandemics punctuate the structure of the book: cholera pandemics from the 1830s to the late nineteenth century, bubonic plague at the turn of the twentieth century, and finally tuberculosis until the mid-twentieth century.

A CONCISE HISTORY OF BELGIUM Guy Vanthemsche

Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The small and densely populated nation of Belgium has played an important role in the history of Europe and other continents, especially Africa. It was a pioneering force in industry, trade, and finance during the Middle Ages, through early modern times and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It introduced innovative political regimes and played a leading role in the creative arts. Yet this rich past is not widely known. This introductory history offers an accessible and rigorous overview of this small but important WestEuropean country, synthesizing Belgium’s main economic, social, political, and cultural developments from pre-Roman times until today. Today, this nation-state, born in 1830, is well-known for the rivalries between its two main language communities, and as a result is often considered a fragile or even an artificial political construct. This systematic chronological analysis of both present-day Belgium and the polities that preceded it throws fresh light on this controversial issue and demonstrates Belgium’s enduring importance and influence.

THE ARMENIANS AND THE FALL OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

After Genocide, 1918–1923

Ari Şekeryan

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

The Armistice of Mudros was signed on 30 October 1918 and on the morning of 13 November 1918, a mighty fleet of battleships from Britain, France, Italy and Greece sailed to Istanbul, and dropped anchor without encountering resistance. This day marked the beginning of the end of the Ottoman Empire, a dissolution that would bring great suffering and chaos, but also new opportunities for all Ottomans, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Drawing upon a previously untouched collection of Armenian and Ottoman Turkish primary sources, Ari Şekeryan considers these understudied post-war years. Examining the Armenian community as they emerged from the aftermath of war and genocide, Şekeryan outlines their shifting political position and the strategies they used to survive this turbulent period. By focusing on the Ottoman Armistice (1918–1923), Şekeryan illuminates an oft-neglected period in history, and develops a new case study for understanding the political reactions of ethnic groups to the fall of empires and nation-states.

KEY FEATURES

WHY IT WILL SELL

• Examines the understudied post-war period in Ottoman historiography, drawing attention to the peculiarities of the Ottoman Armistice and the post-genocide Armenian community

• Uses both Armenian and Ottoman Turkish sources, expanding upon existing scholarship and offering readers a nuanced perspective

UNTIED KINGDOM

A Global History of the End of Britain

How did Britain cease to be global? In Untied Kingdom, Stuart Ward tells the panoramic history of the end of Britain, tracing the ways in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced, disputed and ultimately discarded across the globe since the end of the Second World War. From Indian independence, West Indian immigration and African decolonization to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War, he uncovers the demise of Britishness as a global civic idea and its impact on communities across the globe. He also shows the consequences of this diminished ‘global reach’ in Britain itself, from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to resurgent Englishness and the startling success of separatist political agendas in Scotland and Wales. Untied Kingdom puts the contemporary travails of the Union for the first time in their full global perspective as part of the much larger story of the progressive rollback of Britain’s imaginative frontiers.

• A timely new history of the transformation of Britain place in the world over the last century

WHY POPULISM?

Political Strategy from Ancient Greece to the Present Paul Kenny

Australian Catholic University, Melbourne

The rise to power of populists like Donald Trump is usually attributed to the shifting values and policy preferences of voters-the demand side. Why Populism shifts the public debate on populism and examines the other half of the equation-the supply side. Kenny argues that to understand the rise of populism is to understand the cost of different strategies for winning and keeping power. For the aspiring leader, populism-appealing directly to the people through mass communication-can be a quicker, cheaper, and more effective strategy than working through a political party. Probing the long history of populism in the West from its Ancient Greek roots to the present, this highly readable book shows that the ‘economic laws of populism are constant.’ ‘Forget ideology. Forget resentment. Forget racism or sexism.’ Populism, the author writes, is the result of a hidden strategic calculus.

KEY FEATURES

WHY IT WILL SELL

• The first book to examine how populism works across more than 2,500 years of democratic history in the West

• Translates economic models of politics into non-technical language that is accessible to a wider audience

• By viewing populism as a strategy, not an ideology, this book shifts the debate on democracy’s legitimacy crisis to one about incentives rather than ideas

MUSIC THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO K-POP

Suk-Young Kim

University of California, Los Angeles

How did Korea with a relatively small-scale music industry come to create a vibrant pop culture scene that would enthrall not only young Asian fans but also global audiences from diverse racial and generational backgrounds?

From idol training to fan engagement, from studio recording to mastering choreographic sequences, what are the steps that go into the actual production and promotion of K-pop? And how can we account for K-pop’s global presence within the rapidly changing media environment and consumerist culture in the new millennium? As an informed guide for finding answers to these questions, The Cambridge Companion to K-Pop probes the complexities of K-pop as both a music industry and a transnational cultural scene. It investigates the meteoric ascent of K-pop against the backdrop of increasing global connectivity wherein a distinctive model of production and consumption is closely associated with creativity and futurity.

A PHILOSOPHER LOOKS AT THE RELIGIOUS LIFE

What is happiness? Does life have a meaning? If so, is that meaning available in an ordinary life? The philosopher Zena Hitz confronted these questions headon when she spent several years living in a Christian religious community. Religious life — the communal life chosen by monks, nuns, friars, and hermits — has been a part of global Christianity since earliest times, but many of us struggle to understand what could drive a person to renounce wealth, sex, children, and ambition to live a life of prayer and sacrifice. Hitz’s lively and accessible book explores questions about faith, sacrifice, asceticism and happiness through philosophy, stories, and examples from religious life. Drawing on personal experience as well as film, literature, history, biography, and theology, it demystifies an important element of contemporary culture, and provides a picture of human flourishing and happiness which challenges and enriches modern-day life.

KEY FEATURES

WHY IT WILL SELL

• Hitz is one of the most interesting and readable philosophers working at the interface of philosophy and spirituality: she uses the experiential, to great effect, to explore the abstract

• The author is a respected prize-winner with a high public profile: the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture awarded her the prestigious 2020 Hiett Award in the Humanities

Our understanding of what it means to be a parent in any given context is shaped by our biological, social, legal, and moral concepts of parenthood. These are themselves subject to the influence of changing expectations, as new technologies are produced, cultural views of the family are transformed, and laws shift in response. In this book Teresa Baron provides a detailed and incisive overview of the key questions, widespread presuppositions, and dominant approaches in the field of philosophy of parenthood. Baron examines paradigm cases and problem cases alike through an interdisciplinary lens, bringing philosophy of parenthood into dialogue with research on family-making and childrearing from across the social sciences and humanities. Her book aims to answer old questions, draw out new questions, and interrogate notions that we often take for granted in this field, including the very concept of parenthood itself.

KEY FEATURES

WHY IT WILL SELL

• Applies philosophical methods whilst exploring relevant sociological and psychological research, and discussing relevant legal cases

• Provides detailed conceptual analysis of various forms of parenthood and examines the interrelationships between them

• Challenges existing approaches to analysis of ‘problem cases’ for moral parenthood, and creates a foundation for new approaches in future research

This raises the thorny question: to what extent does free speech actually endanger speech protection? This book examines today’s calls for speech legislation and places it into historical perspective, using fascinating examples from the past 200 years, to explain the historical context of laws regulating speech. Over time, the freedom to speak has grown, the ways in which we communicate have evolved due to technology, and our ideas about speech protection have been challenged as a result. Now more than ever, we are living in a free speech paradox: powerful speakers weaponize their rights in order to silence those less-powerful speakers who oppose them. By understanding how this situation has developed, we can stand up to these threats to the freedom of speech.

DEADLY DECISION IN BEIJING

Succession Politics, Protest Repression, and the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre

Yang Su

University of California, Irvine

Three decades after 1989, historical materials are now available for understanding the Tiananmen protests in a new light. In a play-by-play account of the elite politics that led to the military crackdown, Yang Su addresses the repression of the protest in the context of political leadership succession. He challenges conventional views that see the military intervention as a necessary measure against a revolutionary mobilization. Beneath the political drama, Deadly Decision in Beijing explores the authoritarian regime’s perpetual crisis of leadership transition and its impact on popular movements.

UKRAINE’S UNNAMED WAR

Before the Russian Invasion of 2022

Dominique Arel

University of Ottawa

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has its roots in the events of 2013–2014. Russia cynically termed the seditionist conflict in Crimea and Eastern Donbas a ‘civil war’ in order to claim non-involvement. This flies in the face of evidence, but the authors argue that the social science literature on civil wars can be used help understand why no political solution was found between 2015 and 2022. The book explains how Russia, after seizing Crimea, was reacting to events it could not control and sent troops only to areas of Ukraine where it knew it would face little resistance (Eastern Donbas). Kremlin decisionmakers misunderstood the attachment of the Russianspeaking population to the Ukrainian state and also failed to anticipate that their intervention would transform Ukraine into a more cohesively ‘Ukrainian’ polity. Drawing on Ukrainian documentary sources, this concise book explains these important developments to a non-specialist readership.

PSYCHOLOGY POLITICAL PLASTICITY

The Future of Democracy and Dictatorship

Political plasticity refers to limitations on how fast, how much, and in what ways political behavior does (or does not) change. In a number of important areas of behavior, such as leader-follower relations, ethnicity, religion, and the rich-poor divide, there has been long-term continuity of human behavior. These continuities are little impacted by factors assumed to bring about change such as electronic technologies, major wars, globalization, and revolutions. In addition to such areas of low political plasticity, areas of high political plasticity are considered. For example, women in education is discussed to illustrate how rapid societal change can be achieved. This book explains the psychological and social mechanisms that limit political plasticity, and shape the possibility of changes in both democratic and dictatorial countries. Students, teachers, and anyone interested in political behavior and social psychology will benefit from this volume.

KEY FEATURES

• Introduces and applies the concept of political plasticity as a tool for understanding change

PSYCHOLOGY WORK-LIFE BALANCE

HR Training for Employee Personal Interventions

Based on a thorough review of the research on work-life balance, Sirgy and Lee identify a set of personal interventions that selected employees commonly use to increase their work-life balance and life satisfaction. Personal interventions of work-life balance involve five behavior-based strategies and four cognition-based strategies. The behavior-based strategies are engaging in multiple roles and domains, increasing role enrichment, engaging in behaviorbased compensation, managing role conflict, and creating role balance. The cognition-based strategies are segmenting roles and domains, integrating roles and domains, engaging in value-based compensation, and applying whole-life perspective in decision-making. This volume provides HR managers and HR consultants with pedagogical material designed to help them develop in-house workshops, seminars, and curricula for their employees to improve their worklife balance by using the personal interventions described in the book.

Critical consciousness is the ability to critically analyse societal inequities and to develop the motivation and agency to promote social change. While there has been a proliferation of empirical work on critical consciousness over the last two decades, this is the first volume to consider how we can support youth’s critical consciousness development – their ability to recognize and fight injustice. Leading scholars address some of the field’s most urgent questions: How does critical consciousness develop? What are the key developmental settings (such as homes, schools, community programs) and societal experiences (racism, policy brutality, immigration, political turmoil) that inform critical consciousness development among youth? Providing novel insights into key school-based, out-of-school-based, and societal contexts that propel youth to greater critical reflection and action, this book will benefit scholars and students in developmental, educational, and community psychology, as well as practitioners working in schools, community-based organizations, and other youth settings.

SOCIOLOGY

MARX IN THE ANTHROPOCENE

Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism

Facing global climate crisis, Karl Marx’s ecological critique of capitalism more clearly demonstrates its importance than ever. This book explains why Marx’s ecology had to be marginalized and even suppressed by Marxists after his death throughout the twentieth century. Marx’s ecological critique of capitalism, however, revives in the Anthropocene against dominant productivism and monism. Investigating new materials published in the complete works of Marx and Engels (Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe), Saito offers a wholly novel idea of Marx’s alternative to capitalism that should be adequately characterized as degrowth communism. This provocative interpretation of the late Marx sheds new lights on the recent debates on the relationship between society and nature and invites readers to envision a postcapitalist society without repeating the failure of the actually existing socialism of the twentieth century.

WHY IT WILL SELL

KEY FEATURES

• Offers a wholly new understanding of the late Marx’s vision of post-capitalist society

• Reconstructs the history of Marxism from an ecological perspective in order to answer why Marx’s ecology has been neglected for such a long time

• Offers a thorough critique of monist approach to the societynature-relationship that is popular in political ecology

Since 1970, there has been an overall decline in wildlife populations in the order of 52%. Freshwater species populations have declined by 76%; species populations in Central and South America have declined by 83%; and in the Indo-Pacific by 67%. These are often not complete extinctions, but large declines in the numbers of animals in each species, as well as habitat loss. This presents us with a tremendous opportunity, before it is too late to rescue many species. This book documents the present state of wildlife on a global scale, using a taxonomic approach, and serving as a one stop place for people involved in conservation to be able to find out what is in decline, and the success stories that have occurred to bring back species from the brink of extinction – primarily due to conservation management techniques – as models for what we might achieve in the future.

SEEING THE FOREST FOR THE TREES

Forests, Climate Change, and Our Future

For centuries, people have understood that forests, and our utilisation of them, influence the climate. With modern environmental concerns, there is now scientific, governmental, and popular interest in planting trees for climate protection. This book examines the historical origins of the idea that forests influence climate, the bitter controversy that ended the science, and its modern rebirth. Spanning the 1500s to the present, it provides a broad perspective across the physical and biological sciences, as well as the humanities, to explain the many ways forests influence climate. It describes their use in climate-smart forestry and as a natural climate solution, and demonstrates that in the forest–climate question, human and sylvan fates are linked. Accessibly written with minimal mathematics, it is ideal for students in environmental and related sciences, as well as anyone with an interest in understanding the environmental workings of forests and their interactions with climate.

TECHNOLOGY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY

This volume represents an introduction to a new world-wide attempt to review the history of technology, which is one of few since the pioneering publications of the 1960s. It takes an explicit archaeological focus to the study of the history of technology and adopts a more explicit socially-embedded view of technology than has commonly been the case in mainstream histories of technology. In doing so, it attempts to introduce a more radical element to explanations of technological change, involving magic, alchemy, animism –in other words, attempting to consider technological change in terms of the ‘world view’ of those involved in such change rather than from an exclusively western scientific perspective.

ENGINEERING HYDROLOGY

An Introduction Fourth edition

Cornell University, New York

Wilfried Brutsaert (2022 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate) has revised and updated his classic textbook to take into account recent developments, while retaining the rigor and structure of the previous edition to introduce the fundamental principles of hydrology. New topics include the response of the global water cycle to climate change, the land surface energy budget closure, snow melt, groundwater trends and statistical surface variability with disturbed atmospheric boundary layers. Hydrologic phenomena are dealt with at the spatial and temporal scales at which they occur in nature. The physics and mathematics necessary to describe these phenomena are introduced and developed: readers will require a working knowledge of calculus and basic fluid mechanics. This classroom-tested textbook – based on the author’s longrunning course at Cornell – is invaluable for entry-level courses in hydrology directed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physical science and engineering. In addition, it is also a great reference text for practising scientists and engineers.

MATHEMATICS

WHY DOES MATH WORK … IF IT’S NOT REAL?

Episodes in Unreasonable Effectiveness

According to G. H. Hardy, the ‘real’ mathematics of the greats like Fermat and Euler is ‘useless,’ and thus the work of mathematicians should not be judged on its applicability to real-world problems. Yet, mysteriously, much of mathematics used in modern science and technology was derived from this ‘useless’ mathematics. Mobile phone technology is based on trig functions, which were invented centuries ago. Newton observed that the Earth’s orbit is an ellipse, a curve discovered by ancient Greeks in their futile attempt to double the cube. It is like some magic hand had guided the ancient mathematicians so their formulas were perfectly fitted for the sophisticated technology of today. Using anecdotes and witty storytelling, this book explores that mystery. Through a series of fascinating stories of mathematical effectiveness, including Planck’s discovery of quanta, mathematically curious readers will get a sense of how mathematicians develop their concepts.

KEY FEATURES

• Explores why it is the case that no matter how unreal the objects mathematicians create and study are, somehow, whether a few decades or few centuries later, science encounters a phenomenon tailor-made for some of this weird mathematics

• Features interesting anecdotes, unexpected twists and turns, and flamboyant characters rarely heard in a classroom

• Consists of numerous stories that work together, but can also be read independently

• Accessible to anyone with mathematical curiosity and a basic familiarity with high school calculus (no matter if you’re currently taking the course or took it decades ago)

MEDICINE A TATTOO ON MY BRAIN

A Neurologist’s Personal Battle against Alzheimer’s Disease

Dr Daniel Gibbs is one of 50 million people worldwide with an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Unlike most patients with Alzheimer’s, however, Dr Gibbs worked as a neurologist for twenty-five years, caring for patients with the very disease now affecting him. Also unusual is that Dr Gibbs had begun to suspect he had Alzheimer’s several years before any official diagnosis could be made. Forewarned by genetic testing showing he carried alleles that increased the risk of developing the disease, he noticed symptoms of mild cognitive impairment long before any tests would have alerted him. In this highly personal account, Dr Gibbs documents the effect his diagnosis has had on his life and explains his advocacy for improving early recognition of Alzheimer’s. Weaving clinical knowledge from decades caring for dementia patients with his personal experience of the disease, this is an optimistic tale of one man’s journey with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Soon to be a documentary film on MTV/Paramount +.

KEY FEATURES

• The combined narrative of Dr Gibbs’ clinical knowledge and his engaging personal experience with the disease ensures the book will appeal to both professional and lay audiences with an interest in brain health

• Lived-experience commentary from a patient living with Alzheimer’s disease provides an insight into the uncertainty and lack of information before and after a diagnosis, and offers reassurance to other patients about what lies ahead

• An optimistic call-to-action for further investment in the research of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, where patients who are otherwise pre-symptomatic still have the chance to slow the progression of the disease with lifestyle changes and potential medical treatments

MEDICINE WHY MOTHERS DIED AND HOW THEIR LIVES ARE SAVED

The Story of Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths

James Owen Drife, University of Leeds

Gwyneth Lewis, University College London

James P Neilson, University of Liverpool

Marian Knight, National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit, Oxford

Griselda Cooper, University of Birmingham

Roch Cantwell, Southern General Hospital, Glasgow

One of the most dramatic changes to women’s lives in the twentieth century was the advent of safe childbirth, reducing the maternal mortality rate from 1 in 400 births to 1 in 10,000 in just 80 years. The impetus behind this change was the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Death (CEMD), now the world’s longest running self-audit of a healthcare service. Here, leading authors in the CEMD tell the story of the pioneering clinicians behind the push for improvements, who received little recognition for their work despite its farreaching consequences. One by one, the leading causes of maternal death were identified and resolved, from sepsis to safe abortions and more recently psychiatric illness and social and ethnic disparities in healthcare. Global maternal mortality is still too high; this valuable book shows how significant advances in maternal healthcare are possible when clinicians, politicians and the public work together.

KEY FEATURES

• Written in an accessible style, this is the first book outlining the history of the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Death, filling an important gap for readers with an interest in feminist and social issues

• The authors of this book have been heavily involved with the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Death for many years, giving readers an insight into the realities and frustrations of researching and writing the reports

• Contributors from South Africa, India and the US provide an international perspective, explaining how they applied lessons from the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Death to their own healthcare services. Readers will gain an understanding of how recommendations can be put into practice in different societal contexts

THE BODY IN THE MIND

Exercise Addiction, Body Image and the Use of Enhancement Drugs

In a society that strives for appearance, fitness is increasingly viewed as a means to reach a certain aesthetic ideal, rather than a way to improve health and physical performance. Every day millions of posts appear on social media promoting a visual representation of apparently fit, healthy and ‘perfect’ bodies. Combining personal accounts, clinical cases, and scientific research, this book explores how such new trends in society can lead to the development of exercise addiction and body image disorders. It explains how such a concern with physical appearance can act as a precursor or be symptomatic of other conditions, such as eating disorders, mood disorders, and the use of performance and image enhancing drugs. It highlights throughout the importance of raising awareness amongst health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses, social workers and primary care physicians, of this growing challenge to prevent harm and improve treatment.

MEDICINE THE LITHIUM HANDBOOK

Stahl’s Handbooks

Worldwide efforts to promote greater lithium use for mood disorders have increased the need for evidence-based guidance addressing key questions related to initiation, monitoring and adverse effect management. This practical handbook provides clinicians with a detailed explanation of lithium's renal journey, how this informs our understanding of polyuria pathogenesis and how medications or hyponatremia can alter lithium clearance. Covering efficacy, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, discontinuation, and use in special patient groups including pregnant and breastfeeding women, older or younger patients, each section also provides a detailed background for its suggested logical approach to managing lithium's renal and other adverse effects. Using the latest data, the book outlines rationales for specific management decisions, and prioritizes options to provide clinical guidance on the best course of action. Colourcoded lists and tables, bulleted text, and diagrams illustrate important points throughout, helping to make information accessible and easy-to-digest. An essential resource for mental health professionals worldwide.

KEY FEATURES

• A logical, evidence-based framework for important clinical issues related to lithium treatment, guiding the clinician through the reasoning process for use of eGFR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio, early morning urine osmolality and the 24h fluid intake record to monitor renal parameters during lithium treatment, and how to interpret and respond to changes in these measures. It offers a reasoned approach to management of non-renal adverse effects, how to interpret and manage changes in TSH and serum calcium, and how to address patient complaints of cognitive dysfunction, polyuria, tremor and other common clinical situations.

• Provides detailed coverage of previously overlooked topics such as lithium use during lactation or in patients with Brugada syndrome, and a discussion of the pathogenesis for adverse effects such as hyperparathyroidism, hypothyroidism and renal dysfunction. This handbook also reviews the evidence supporting lithium's place as the gold standard for bipolar spectrum disorder patients (especially in those with a history of mania), lithium's impact on risk for completed suicide and dementia. Also provided is a detailed list of medications that have kinetic interactions with lithium (including dosing adjustments for each class of medication).

• Provides an up-to-date review of the latest data from 2020 onwards on the use of lithium during pregnancy and breastfeeding and in child/adolescent bipolar disorder, the rationale for management of lithium related nephrogenic diabetes insipidus with amiloride and acetazolamide, alongside guidance on the use of the 2021 revised CKD-EPI eGFR formula.
