The Alexander Romance in the Orthodox Slavic World
  • The Transmission of a Classic Text

  • Alexander the Great is the only Classic hero whose exploits were widely known in the Slavic Middle Ages, mainly through the Greek Alexander Romance. At least two great groups of translations can be differentiated, one made in East Slavic and another one in South Slavic lands. The reasons behind these translations vary depending on the area, the time and the purpose. This book explores these translations by analysing almost fifty pre-seventeenth century manuscripts in Greek and Slavonic, as well as the relation of the Romance to all the other Classical and Biblical texts known in Slavonic in which Alexander was the main character. A detailed study of the manuscript evidence challenges current theories on the Slavic Alexanders, redating the translation of the earliest East version. It also presents new findings on scribal practices in the translation of non-canonical texts and a new understanding of paratactic scribal innovation.

The End of Cold War Solidarity
  • Mozambique and the Soviet Union in the Age of Decolonization
  • Elizabeth Banks

  • This innovative multi-archival study explores the myriad and unexpected connections between the USSR and Mozambique during the last decades of state socialism, decolonization and Cold War. Drawing on documents and oral histories in three languages, Elizabeth Banks explores how leaders, bureaucrats, and ordinary citizens used diplomacy, culture, fishing, debt, trade, and delegation exchange to build Mozambican-Soviet connections throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Socialist connections like these played a key role in the process of post-colonial state-building, and fundamentally shaped the lives of individuals in the second half of the twentieth century. As Banks shows, symbolic promises of solidarity wrestled with shared material constraints to render visible international connections more valuable. These same dynamics helped cement credit relations as the core of Soviet development provision during late socialism, ultimately undermining the struggle for alternative forms of economic sovereignty during decolonization.

Experiences of Monetary Policy

    31 December 2026
  • The first quarter of the 21st Century was a difficult period. it covers the last few years of the Great Moderation but then the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, followed by the shocks to the world economy caused by the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Written by a team of leading economists, Experiences of Monetary Policy provides a wide-ranging perspective on the evolution of monetary policy over this period in response to these developments, in general and with particular reference to some of the world's most important economies – both advanced economies and the emerging economies of China, India, Mexico, South Africa and Türkiye. It analyses what policies worked and what did not, and why. The Afterword includes a discussion on how monetary policy might develop in the future, in the light of the actions of the Trump administration in the US in its first year.

Practical Time Series Data Analysis
  • Lessons from Time-Domain Astronomy
  • Jeffrey Scargle
  • Coming soon

    31 December 2026
  • This practical guide demonstrates the use of methods to analyze sequential data, from basic standard methods to advanced novel techniques, all in the setting of an accessible, intuitive view of underlying statistical theory. The book reveals the unappreciated limitations of standard methods and shows how simple new viewpoints can overcome these obstacles and open up novel opportunities for discovery. Readers, from beginning students of astronomy, physics, statistics, and other technical subjects, to seasoned practitioners in these fields, are invited to use thought-provoking exercises to delve deeper into important topics without resorting to mindless calculations. Several case studies are included – not only to point out the end results, but to illustrate how the scientific process is actually carried out in practice. Scargle, a well-known pioneer in the field, shares his decades of experience to demonstrate improvements and extensions of classical techniques and discourage uncritical use of 'black box' analyses.

    31 December 2026
  • From graphene to topological insulators, Dirac and Weyl semimetals to bosonic systems, Dirac matter unifies the physics of emergent quasiparticles in condensed matter. This book develops a unified framework of Dirac matter based on Dirac equation – originally conceived for electrons – and how it governs the behaviour of excitations in quantum materials and artificial metamaterials. The text explores the universal properties of Dirac matter, from symmetry-protected nodes and topological invariants to interaction effects and impurity resonances. Besides an in-depth introduction into key theoretical concepts and methods, it also provides a review of state-of-the-art research on Dirac matter using real-world examples. A broad perspective coupled with a unified framework allows readers to explore the connections between a variety of ongoing, active research fields. The book is ideal for graduate students and researchers, providing a cohesive and modern guide to one of physics' most dynamic frontiers.

The Parisian Theological Magisterium, 1100–1400
  • William J. Courtenay

  • William J. Courtenay charts how the Faculty of Theology at the University of Paris took shape in the latter half of the twelfth century and developed into a leading intellectual authority in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Beginning with an examination of the origins and scope of the privileges that defined the Parisian scholarly community, this work traces how theology masters came to adjudicate questions of orthodoxy arising from the lectures and writings of arts masters, Bachelors of Theology, and works submitted to them for judgment, including those of Hildegard of Bingen and the Talmud. As the faculty's authority grew, its reputation became a resource in the political struggles of Philip the Fair in conflicts with Pope Boniface VIII and in the suppression of the Templars. The papal countermeasures to these royal interventions gave rise to benefice-supplication rolls – an institutional development that reshaped university finance in the fourteenth century.

The Science Divide
  • Covid, Climate Change, and the Crisis of Democracy
  • Michael A. Livingston
  • Coming soon

    31 December 2026
  • Global issues, such as worsening climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought the clash between scientific experts and the broader voting public into stark relief. While experts perceive a 'war on science' that threatens truth and logic itself, many others perceive an elite effort to impose its will on the remainder of society. The Science Divide considers the issue of science and democracy in three societies-the United States, Sweden, and Japan-looking closely at pandemic and climate questions. The book also considers the Trump Administration's clash with academia and the emerging AI problem. Timely and comprehensive, The Science Divide is a key resource for anyone concerned about the fate of our scientific establishments and the future of our democracies.

  • Governments spend billions on our behalf. But how should this money be spent? The purpose should be to increase the wellbeing of the people. So the best policies are those which produce the most wellbeing per pound spent. The new science of wellbeing now enables us to make these calculations. The authors of this book, led by Richard Layard, do just that across a whole range of government policies. And the results call for radical changes in priorities. This path-breaking book opens up a new approach to policy-making. It combines traditional economics with the new psychology of happiness. By valuing non-monetary outcomes it does what politicians have always wanted. Its methods have already been adopted by the UK Treasury and are relevant worldwide. If followed, they would produce a happier world. When people ask where do we go 'beyond GDP', this is the answer.

Democracy Speaks
  • School Boards, Public Discourse, and the Fight to Be Heard
  • Jonathan E. Collins
  • Coming soon

  • School board meetings have become the battleground for some of the most contentious political battles in the United States, but their importance extends beyond current hot-button issues. In Democracy Speaks, Jonathan E. Collins offers a groundbreaking exploration of how local school boards shape public voice, democratic accountability, and educational equity. Collins presents the importance of public discourse at school board meetings as central to effective school board governance, and more broadly shows how everyday civic spaces like school board meetings can either deepen or erode trust in government. The book also develops a new theoretical lens for thinking about democratic accountability in this setting - 'deliberative culture' - to trace how discursive norms can result in impactful school reform. At a time when public education is caught in political crossfire, this book offers a hopeful, research-driven framework for reimagining school governance as a site of meaningful public engagement.

Social Science History

  • Historical analysis sits at the heart of the social sciences, yet historical data is often treated as if it provides objective knowledge about the past. This book challenges this assumption, revealing the uncertainty, selectivity, and interpretive mediation embedded in every historical claim. Advocating an intersubjectivist approach that avoids both naïve positivism and radical relativism, the authors show how rigorous historical analysis can strengthen theory building, causal inference, and generalization. Along the way, the book highlights common hazards – from presentism and confirmation bias to unreflective data use – that threaten the credibility of historical research. Outlining five general principles, each supported by practical procedures, it provides a clear roadmap for reducing bias and strengthening the credibility of social science history. The result is an essential methodological guide for social scientists seeking to use historical evidence with greater clarity, care, and scholarly integrity.

  • Polarization adds powerful, often underutilised information to satellite remote sensing. This book is a comprehensive, end-to-end guide to retrieving both cloud and aerosol properties from polarimetric observations. Unique in unifying key training across scattering modeling, aerosol retrieval, cloud microphysics, and polarimetric observations, this foundational textbook prepares readers in the use of a cutting-edge technique that is increasingly deployed for climate missions by NASA and other space agencies. The book begins with the basics of polarization, building into scattering theory and particle optics. Readers are guided through polarized radiative transfer, surface boundary conditions over ocean and land, and the inverse methods connecting measurements to geophysical properties. Dedicated chapters explore the retrieval of cloud phases and microphysics, aerosol optical depth, particle size, and refractive index. Suitable as a graduate textbook or a reference for researchers, this volume will allow readers to emerge ready to work directly with polarimetric satellite data.

  • Scholarly texts and the popular imagination often analogize the state as a person that is concrete and independent in its actions. This Leviathan, the state-as-person analogical framing, pervades our interpretations of the past. The framing is deeply misleading, both narrowing the possibilities of past governance for large-scale collectives and distorting our understanding of how important decisions were made. This book uses the assemblage approach and other related theories to develop an alternative framework that views these polities as dynamic assemblages of human and other-than-human agents brought together through ongoing projects of incorporation and coordination. Leaders try, and often fail, to shape these assemblages through their actions. Five case studies illustrate the benefits of this approach for understanding past politics—from Chaco Canyon, the Andean Wari, Shang China, Ilé-IfẹÌ in Nigeria, and ancient Athens. This is a Flip it Open title and may be available open access on Cambridge Core.

Romantic Devotion
  • Voice, Praise and Print Culture 1772–1811
  • Mary Fairclough

  • Devotional forms and practices had a shaping influence on female authorship, economies of print, and cultures of reading during the Romantic period. Mary Fairclough analyses the work of Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Hays to demonstrate how these aspects of Romantic literary culture can be traced back to devotional customs. These authors, she shows, sustain the religious force of such customs, but at the same time they make them new, by appropriating devotional models to produce affective, inclusive forms of authorship, print, and reading. In doing so they harness the most up to date technologies and trends in book production and publishing, enabling innovations in literary form and genre and producing new, hybrid modes of writing. Simultaneously, they centre acts of voicing to emphasise that literary texts are catalysts for embodied practices of vocal performance and the creation of community which centres women and girls.

Resistance and Trauma in Chronicles
  • Judean Identity and Achaemenid Imperialism
  • David Janzen
  • Coming soon

    31 December 2026
  • In Resistance and Trauma in Chronicles, David Janzen uses postcolonial and decolonial theory to argue that Chronicles was written in important part to resist and reject the ways in which Achaemenid ideology depicted the subject peoples of the Persian Empire, Judeans among them, as innately immoral and prone to violence, and thus in need of Persian rule. By contrast, Chronicles creates an identity for Judeans that portrays them as inherently moral and able to provide for their own peace and well-being. These were  aspects of life that, the Achaemenids claimed, only Persians could convey to the peoples they dominated. Yet decolonial analysis also warns that indigenous worldviews cannot entirely escape the influence of imperial belief systems. As a result, Chronicles is not always successful in its decolonial portrayal of Judah. It reflects the state of a traumatized community deeply scarred by imperial ideology, an issue that Janzen explores through trauma theory as it is understood within sociology.
