    28 February 2027
  • From its inception, America has been an unusually violent nation. In this compelling book, Elliott J. Gorn tells stories that help illuminate violence in America, how we think about it, how it changes over time, and what it means. A series of portraits in blood - eye gouging matches on the Southern frontier, the murder of the street tough Butcher Bill Poole, the rise of the crime-and-sex scandal sheet, The National Police Gazette, John Dillinger's bank robbing rampage through the Great Depression, the horrific lynching of the young Chicagoan Emmett Till, and the resurrection of his memory during the Black Lives Matter movement -Violent Men demonstrates how racism, gender, and class coalesce to paint a vivid but disturbing picture of our history.

Darwinism
  • A Concise Guide to its Past, Present, and Promising Future
  • David J. Depew
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    March 2027

    31 March 2027
  • Darwinism is not the only research tradition in evolutionary biology, but to date it is the most empirically successful. This book explores why, and why this is still true. David Depew shows how Darwinian evolutionary biology got off to a bad start by identifying natural selection with survival of the fittest -- which led to persistent misunderstandings; how it got back on track by the mid-twentieth century; and how it faced more difficulties at the turn of the twenty-first century, including challenges about how development, ecology, culture, and genetics are related. The book ends by exploring the promises and perils of genetic biotechnology. Depew's clear and accessible discussion draws on the work of evolutionary biologists, evolutionary anthropologists, historians of biology, and philosophers of biology, and the result is a compelling interdisciplinary guide to the past, present, and future of an immensely powerful concept.

  • This volume offers a clear and authoritative gateway into the world of Hellenistic poetry, presenting the state of the art in a form accessible to newcomers and valuable to experienced scholars alike. Designed for undergraduate and graduate students of ancient cultures, especially those in Classics, as well as instructors and researchers, it distils a complex literary era into an illuminating, concise guide. Moving beyond isolated readings of individual poets such as Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius, the book situates Hellenistic poetry within its rich historical, political, cultural, and religious contexts, and discusses its important afterlife in Roman poetry. It highlights how shifting power structures, expanding intellectual networks, and new forms of cultural expression and religion shaped poetic innovation both in Alexandria and in the wider Mediterranean world. Whether used in the classroom or consulted as a research companion, this Companion provides an indispensable, overview of a transformative period in ancient literature.

    28 February 2027
  • Research in phonology has changed dramatically over the past two decades, with increasing influence from adjacent fields, including phonetics, psychology, and computer science, on both theories and methodologies. Cross-field interaction has led to a new emphasis on computation, learning, and evidence, and many new theoretical frameworks and methods have been developed. Now in its second edition, this handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of phonological theories, methods, and evidence. It has been fully revised and updated to offer both foundational and forward-looking content by combining classic issues with new research areas. Split into five thematic sections, with each chapter written by an expert in the field, this handbook continues to represent the state of the art in the discipline. It is essential reading for instructors, researchers, and students of phonology, as well as for those in related fields such as phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, and speech pathology.

Emancipation and the Making of a Modern Empire
  • The British Caribbean, 1823–1865
  • Christopher Bischof
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

    28 February 2027
  • In this ambitious study of the transition from slavery to freedom, Christopher Bischof explores the idealism that characterized imperial responses to emancipation. Employing a new analytical framework, he considers how British reformers used schemes of liberal humanitarian reform to encourage outcomes that were humane for freedpeople but also secured the continued prosperity of sugar plantations. Through wide-ranging case studies of free-labor abolitionism, special magistrates, elementary education, freeholding, and Chinese indentured labor, the cheap, light-handed humanitarian interventions designed to produce this outcome come into view. As Bischof argues, this idealistic vision helped to legitimize British imperialism at a key moment in its expansion and ideological consolidation. However, this ultimately proved insufficient as freedpeople pursued their own vision of freedom. Combining social, cultural, and political history, Bischof sheds light on the story underpinning this endeavor and the new forms of racism and imperial authority that emerged in its wake.

Modern Introduction to General Relativity
  • With Connections to Fundamental Physics
  • Mark P. Hertzberg
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    February 2027
    Print publication:
    31 January 2027
  • This textbook builds up General Relativity in a modern way that shows the marvellous unity in physics. Einstein's gravity can be understood as the theory of matter interacting with a massless spin-2 particle (the graviton), just as electromagnetism is the theory of charges interacting with a massless spin-1 particle (the photon). Starting with scalar gravity and electromagnetism, General Relativity is developed step by step, highlighting all the key ideas and equations. The text develops many applications of enduring interest, including solar-system effects and cosmological expansion, as well as important cutting-edge topics such as black hole imaging and gravitational wave detection. In-chapter exercises and end-chapter problems allow readers to test their understanding, with selected solutions available to instructors online. The textbook provides essential material for the beginning – and experienced – physicist or astronomer interested in modern developments in gravitation, astrophysics and cosmology, and their connections to particle physics and fundamental physics.

Weather and Climate in the Early Middle Ages
  • David J. Patterson
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    February 2027
    Print publication:
    28 February 2027
  • What did weather mean to people in the past, and who did they believe controlled it? In this cultural history of the early medieval Frankish world, David J. Patterson argues that the medieval atmosphere was a contested arena in which saintly, royal, demonic, and human authority met and often clashed. Engaging with paleoclimate proxy evidence alongside cultural and religious texts, he illuminates the complex political, metaphorical, and theological underpinnings of medieval descriptions of weather, complicating modern attempts to reconstruct past climate conditions using documentary sources. In particular, Patterson reconstructs how medieval communities built “circles of protection” against storm, drought, and frost, considering how they imagined the tempestarii – the weather-makers – who lived among them. Refusing both environmental determinism and pastoral nostalgia, he offers a new historical perspective on approaches toward protection, blame, and authority, exploring past human relationships with the weather in ways that still resonate today.
