  • As pointed out by the editors of this unusual volume, studying the development of contemporary Spain is important to understand the challenges, dynamics and limits of political and economic modernization. The contributors of Twisted Modernization bring the theoretical and methodological toolkit of modern political economy to study Spain's long run economic (industrialization) and institutional (capacity, constitutions) processes, the evolution of its economic, political and judicial elites, and how the country's institutional legacies condition its democracy and economic outcomes to this day. Including work from over a dozen of well-known specialists and grounded in novel and systematic data, this volume provides a sober assessment of both the country's achievements and worrying future challenges. It offers key insights on the causes of democratization and growth in general and provides a model for further research on the trajectories of other countries. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Students are encouraged not only to analyse international business phenomena, but also to consider their ethical, social, environmental, and political consequences. Instructors have access to adaptable teaching resources, including lecture slides, discussion guides, and sample answers. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, International Business: A Critical Approach prepares future managers, researchers, and policymakers to understand, interrogate, and responsibly shape global business.

Victor Hugo and the Making of Masculinity
  • From the Panthéon Back to the Page

  • Victor Hugo's eminence as a writer is bolstered by his reputation for unbridled ambition, prolific talent, and virile sexuality, yet his work is deeply uncomfortable with these aggrandized notions of what it means to be a man. Rereading some of Hugo's most famous writing alongside lesser-known texts, Bradley Stephens reveals how the author of Les Misérables contests normative ideas of manhood in ways that are surprising and urgent for gender studies today. Although Hugo recognized the allure of 'greatness', his writing knowingly resists the patriarchal clichés that were being fastened onto his public image even before he was laid to rest in the Paris Panthéon as one of France's grands hommes in 1885. Hugo channelled nature's spontaneity to understand all forms and types as fluid, not fixed, and his aversion to categorical viewpoints and established hierarchies necessarily questions the binary logic of gender and its naturalization of men's social dominance.

  • This comprehensive introduction contains a thorough exploration of Radon transforms and related operators when the basic manifolds are the real Euclidean space, the unit sphere, and the real hyperbolic space. Radon-like transforms are discussed not only on smooth functions but also in the general context of Lebesgue spaces. Applications, open problems, and recent results are also included. The book will be useful for researchers in integral geometry, harmonic analysis, and related branches of mathematics. Fields of application include modern analysis, integral and convex geometry, and medical imaging. The text contains many examples and detailed proofs, making it accessible to graduate students and advanced undergraduates. The new edition includes four new chapters covering topics including integral geometry on lower-dimensional surfaces, tangency problems in integral geometry, and applications to convex geometry.

The Popular Origins of Ibsen's Modern Drama

  • Long maligned as an unrelenting moralist, Ibsen is better understood as a writer who combined tragedy with comedy in unresolved tensions that revolutionized dramatic art. While most studies focus on the serious aspects of contemporary dramas like A Doll's House and Hedda Gabler, this book demonstrates how Ibsen integrated elements borrowed extensively from specific popular entertainments in these and other plays. Ellen Rees here offers the first ever empirical study of the repertoire Ibsen encountered while working as a theater practitioner between 1851 and 1864, upending most of what has been written about the theater culture he experienced. It critiques previous attempts to link Ibsen to the melodrama and the well-made play, arguing instead that Ibsen engaged parodically and intertextually with light musical comedy genres like the vaudeville, which directly influenced his rejection of idealism and embrace of realism. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Medicine and Empire in the Roman World

  • This book explores relations between medicine and empire in the Roman world. It charts Rome's accumulation of medical resources in the Republic, bound up with the acquisition of territory and power, and then reveals the redistribution of those resources as part of the larger project of imperial consolidation after Augustus. It demonstrates the ways in which medicine – ideas and practices around health, disease and healing – supported the Roman imperial enterprise. From the medical care of large enslaved workforces and Roman armies to the hierarchies of medical practitioners in communities across the empire and the ordering of health and bodies. Rome was the medical and political capital of the Mediterranean. It was also the disease capital, and the integration of imperial territory by the second century CE not only established a unified (but not uniform) medical culture but also helped the spread of disease, culminating in the Antonine Plague.

The Pessimistic Induction

  • 'All past beliefs about nature have sooner or later turned out to be false. On the record, therefore, the probability that any currently proposed belief will fare better must be close to zero.' So wrote the historian and philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn. A substantial number of contemporary philosophers agree with that pessimistic induction from the history of science. If true, the implications of that inductive argument are profound, suggesting that current so-called scientific knowledge is not what it purports to be – namely, an enduring understanding of our world. The Pessimistic Induction expressed in Kuhn's remark has been extensively discussed in the philosophy of science but heretofore without a synoptic critical examination. Drawing on both the history and the philosophy of science, this book presents a detailed exploration of the Pessimistic Induction and defends an optimistic, yet not necessarily realist, view of an important class of current scientific knowledge claims.

  • This textbook provides an interdisciplinary overview of international human rights issues, offering international coverage (especially the Global South). Fully revised and updated, this second edition considers the philosophical foundations of human rights, explores the interpretive difficulties associated with identifying what constitutes human rights abuses, and evaluates various perspectives on human rights. It then analyzes institutions that strive to promote and enforce human rights standards including the United Nations system, regional human rights bodies, and domestic courts. It also discusses a wide variety of substantive human rights issues including genocide, torture, capital punishment and other forms of punishment. In particular, it covers understudied topics such as socio-economic rights, cultural rights and environmental rights, and emerging issues, such as right to health and human rights and technology. It focuses on the rights of marginalized groups including children's rights, rights of persons with disabilities, women's rights, labor rights, Indigenous rights, and LGBTQ+ rights.

  • Covering the earliest known Anglophone literature for children from its medieval forms, its evolution in the early modern period and towards its emergence in the world of print culture, this volume explores the very foundations of the field through to its establishment as a popular genre for nineteenth-century consumers. In-depth discussion of specific sub-periods is provided in the opening chapters, while the remainder trace both major and more subtle changes in genre and style over time, charting an age of experimentation in form including both successful innovations and frequent failed attempts. The geographical range primarily focuses on the British Isles, but chapters also investigate early developments in children's books from North America and the wider impacts of colonialism and slavery. The shifting currents of didacticism and reading for pleasure across a variety of genres, bolstered by Enlightenment educational ideals, intersect here with new thinking about politics, sex, science, and faith.

  • Today's marketplace is shaped by habits of excess that threaten both consumer well-being and the environment, placing overconsumption, materialism, and unsustainable business practices at the heart of contemporary marketing debates. Mindful Consumption and Marketing redefines how markets, organizations, and individuals navigate demand and growth by positioning mindfulness as a transformative lens for theory and practice. Situated at the intersection of consumer behavior, marketing strategy, and sustainable enterprise, it shows how conscious awareness of both internal experiences and external market forces can shape more deliberate and purposeful choices. Krittinee Nuttavuthisit advances a vision of marketing as a moral and relational practice, where value creation balances profitability with consumer well-being, social equity, and ecological responsibility. Through a combination of theory-driven chapters on consumer psychology, sociocultural context, and decision-making, alongside rich case-based illustrations, she charts a forward-looking path for scholars and practitioners seeking more balanced and sustainable market development.

  • Older than the pyramids, Sumerian was used in ancient Mesopotamia (Southern Iraq). It is probably the world's first written language, and survives on clay tablets in the cuneiform script, dating from c.3000 BCE to the beginning of the Common Era. It abounds in simple inscriptions, ideal for beginners, but also boasts a wealth of more advanced writings, such as fascinating mythological poetry. This comprehensive textbook equips students to read the full range of texts – including the special variety of the language known as Emesal. Drawing on the authors' experience in the classroom, it uses intuitive terminology and also makes extensive use of diagrams, which unravel the language's structures in an easy-to-learn way. The examples and readings are all taken from original sources. The learning journey is further supported by exercises (with key), a full sign list and glossary, and online recordings with 'approximate pronunciations'.

Providence, Evil and Salvation

    30 November 2026
  • Broad in scope yet focused, scholarly yet written in an accessible and lucid manner, Providence, Evil and Salvation, perhaps uniquely, addresses key questions in contemporary theology from a broadly Thomist perspective: What is providence and how can it be squared with evil and suffering? What is sin? How can we construe a meaningful account of original sin in a post-Darwinian context? How does Christ address our self-inflicted alienation from God? How do we appropriate Christ's salvation through faith, hope, and love, and participation in the sacramental life? On the interface of historical and constructive-systematic theology, with a pastoral concern throughout, Rik Van Nieuwenhove offers both experts and readers who are not familiar with the thought of Thomas Aquinas a unique insight into his theology – and why it matters today, not just for scholarly debates but for how we should live our lives.

    31 October 2026
  • An engaging and comprehensive introduction to phonetics and phonology, this textbook innovatively integrates extensive audio-visual materials and multiple language examples. Introducing the vocal tract, speech production and acoustic characteristics of speech, it describes major sound types attested in languages, covers key phonological concepts, and examines a range of sound and prosodic patterns. English is de-centered with all languages treated as equally worthy of study. Students are therefore exposed to data from a wide range of typologically diverse languages, many of which are indigenous, sourced from recent, rigorous language descriptions. Written in an accessible style with all technical terms clearly explained, students will gain an understanding of key concepts as well as practical skills in listening, transcribing, reading acoustic representations and doing phonological analysis. Pedagogical features include embedded audio and video in an enhanced interactive eBook, quizzes, key concept lists, suggestions for further reading and exploration, and approximately 100 original exercises.

  • The Cambridge Handbook of the Law of Networks, Platforms and Utilities offers a comparative and multi-sector analysis of the most important industries shaping people's lives, including transportation, communications, finance, energy, technology, and social infrastructure. Enterprises in these sectors are unlike other businesses because they form the basic infrastructure for commerce and society. Network, platform, and utility (NPU) enterprises tend toward monopoly or oligopoly, and often involve structurally unequal bargaining power because of economies of scale, network effects, special skills, and high capital costs. As a result, NPU enterprises around the world have generally been governed by distinctive legal regimes: public ownership, public utility regulation and oversight, or public options alongside private businesses. The Cambridge Handbook of the Law of Networks, Platforms and Utilities brings together leading scholars to capture the central themes and concepts in the field and describe how countries around the world govern NPU enterprises.

Behind the Words

  • What is language and how does it work? The ability to use language is one of the most remarkable cognitive capacities humans possess. This book investigates, in a clear and accessible style, what is going on behind the words. Based on a rich literature of empirical research, Hilpert argues that human language emerges from a network of social and cognitive skills, such as categorization, joint attention, and analogical reasoning, which are not just used in language, but also in other domains of human cognition. Each chapter covers a different aspect of language and shows how these are all interlinked as part of a social and cognitive system, to show that ultimately, the foundations of language are not in themselves linguistic. For anyone who is curious about the human linguistic capacity, this fascinating book offers a compelling account of how language works, and how its complexity emerges from simpler components.

  • Minimalism – a long-established branch of Chomsky's Generative approach - has become increasingly influential not just in syntactic research, but across, and outside of, linguistics. Bringing together a team of renowned scholars, this handbook provides a comprehensive guide to current developments in generative syntactic theory, and its relevance to the interfaces, and to interdisciplinary applications to linguistics and beyond. Organised into five thematic parts, chapters cover minimalist perspectives on the linguistic interfaces, language in context and language development, formalist approaches to experimental syntax and computational modelling, and inter- and multidisciplinary explorations beyond language - including language pathologies, evolutionary perspectives, non-human cognition, and biolinguistics. Bringing together different theoretical points of view on the narrow syntactic and interface areas of theoretical linguistics, it is essential reading for academic researchers and advanced students across various subfields of linguistics, including syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, discourse, language contact, and language change.
