  • A History of the Mexican Novel is the most comprehensive history of Mexican fiction to date. Written by leading experts, this book is a comprehensive and authoritative reference for everyone interested in both Mexican and Mexican American literature, from students to scholars. It discusses the question on the novel from the Colonial Period to the present, touching upon  topics such as the long novel, the relationship of the novel to race and gender, the shaping of a proto-novelistic tradition in the Colonial era and the impact of media changes, such as serialization and the internet, in the idea of the novel. From major canonical authors like Manuel Payno and Carlos Fuentes to the novels of writers in indigenous languages, including the work of Mexican American novelists, this vital History will allow readers to understand literary aesthetics, cultural ideologies and institutions that shape the Mexican novel through time.

Disability in Black and White
  • The Racial Politics of Disability Rights in the United States

  • Disability in Black and White offers a new political history of disability inclusion in the United States. Drawing on extensive archival research, it argues that racial power has structured the meaning and boundaries of disability from the early twentieth century to the present. Although disability is often presented as a race-neutral category of public policy and political activism, Disability in Black and White demonstrates how disability emerged as a political and administrative category within a racial order of white supremacy. As a result, even after the United States formally embraced racial egalitarianism, the politics of disability rights continued to center white experiences with disability and carried forward assumptions of Black inferiority. Rather than treating race and disability as parallel systems of inequality, the book shows how these systems were jointly constituted through policymaking and political activism, narrowing the possibilities for both disability inclusion and racial equality.

  • Addressing not only inter-state dispute settlement but also the settlement of disputes involving non-State actors, The Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes offers a clear and systematic overview of the procedures for dispute settlement in international law. It covers both diplomatic and legal means of international dispute settlement, focusing on the interaction between the two categories of dispute settlement means. In particular, the book thoroughly examines the law and practice of the International Court of Justice, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and inter-State arbitration. It also addresses the settlement of international environmental disputes, which is increasingly important in the international community, and the WTO dispute settlement system. The 2nd edition has been updated by adding new cases and materials to address the latest developments in the field, including the ICJ, ITLOS, WTO, and the United Nations.

How Propaganda Wins
  • The Making of Loyal Audiences in Autocracies

  • Why do millions of Russians trust state television even when its lies seem obvious? How Propaganda Wins offers a bold new answer. This book argues that authoritarian media doesn't just persuade or intimidate but it serves. Drawing on cutting-edge analysis of Russian prime-time propaganda reporting and extensive original surveys, the book introduces the theory of 'service propaganda,' the strategy of winning loyalty by affirming citizens' identities, validating their worldview, and meeting their everyday informational needs. The result is genuine trust that makes citizens receptive to disinformation, resistant to independent journalism, and willing to accept a brutal war. Comparing Russia to autocracies from China to Hungary, and drawing lessons that reach into democratic societies, How Propaganda Wins is a crucial account of how modern propaganda works and what it takes to fight it.

  • In recent years, Queen Victoria (r. 1837–1901) and her world have come into sharper focus. Current scholarship has explored who the queen was and how her subjects saw her, both at home and abroad. We also have a deeper appreciation for Victoria's own role and agency in shaping her reign and constructing her self-image. This volume builds upon these developments and offers nuanced and historically grounded perspectives on the Victorian monarchy. The Cambridge Companion to Queen Victoria features the work of leading scholars across disciplines including literature, history, religion, women's studies and art history. Organized into four sections, the volume presents accessible and innovative scholarship on the queen as a cultural force and political agent, in domestic, international and imperial contexts.

Being with the Dead
  • Iranian Veterans and their Enduring Bond with Fallen Comrades
  • Farzad Amoozegar
  • Coming soon

    31 January 2027
  • Being with the Dead is an ethnographic and philosophical study of grief, memory, and the enduring ethical bonds between five paraplegic Iranian veterans of the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88) and their childhood friends who died in combat. Permanently paralyzed and living with the lasting effects of trauma, the veterans cultivate ongoing relationships with the departed through devotional practices including Qurʾanic recitation, whispered prayers, and Persian mystical poetry. These sonic acts create an intimate space in which the dead appear as a 'blissful-strange' presence – at once consoling and unsettling. Drawing on ethnographic research, the text traces how the veterans' relationships with the dead evolve alongside political upheavals in Iran, prompting new reflections on martyrdom, sacrifice, and the afterlife. Bringing Islamic philosophy into conversation with anthropology, sound studies, and disability studies, this book rethinks grief as an ongoing ethical relationship in which the dead remain active members of the moral community.

Animal Intelligence
  • From Individual to Social Cognition
  • 2nd edition
  • Zhanna Reznikova
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

    31 January 2027
  • From ants to whales, the lives of animals are filled with challenges that demand split-second decisions: to fight or flee, dominate or obey, take-off, share, eat, spit out or court. Learning enables behavioural adjustments to a changeable environment, while intelligence helps animals use their learned experiences in new situations. Drawing on evidence from both field and laboratory research, Animal Intelligence synthesises insights from ethology, behavioural ecology, and comparative psychology, highlighting the diversity of cognitive strategies across species. This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition incorporates a wealth of contemporary findings throughout: numerous topics have been revisited in light of new empirical data and theoretical developments, while some – including chapters on animal personalities, social learning, or concepts and notions in animal languages – are entirely new. Written in an accessible yet rigorous style for undergraduate and graduate students, this book will fascinate anyone with an interest in the world of animal behaviour.

Green Germany

  • Germany is an environmental pathbreaker among industrial societies, maintaining its export-driven economy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and committing to carbon-neutrality by 2045. Yet it was ordinary citizens rather than bureaucrats or industry who generated its most durable policy solutions. Drawing on a range of case studies from the twentieth century to the present, Carol Hager and Thomas M. Lekan show how local residents combined social and ecological agendas and often defied government officials or corporate interests. These citizens promoted renewable energy, accessible public transportation, sustainable housing, biosphere reserves, and urban green spaces. Each chapter advances a three-pronged understanding of Germany's sustainability culture anchored by a deep sense of place; a 'do-it-yourself' mentality; and the generative power of conflict. By showing how a highly industrialized country became ecologically wiser, this study seeks to re-energize conversations about climate action and green transitions in societies across the globe.

  • Globally, unprecedented levels of stress and uncertainty have left youth increasingly vulnerable to emotional turmoil, challenges that psychological and educational theories alone struggle to address. Enlightenment Beyond Self-Actualization introduces a unique form of spiritual transcendence called cor meum perpetuum – Latin for “my heart forever.” Situated at the deepest core of social and emotional intelligences, cor meum perpetuum describes a spiritual transcendence within a sacred relationship that fosters an awakening to the profundity of the here and now. Expanding upon concepts of social and emotional intelligences, the book offers professionals and caring adults a spiritually responsive approach to supporting holistic well-being. Drawing on multicultural perspectives and empirical research, it guides readers through cor meum perpetuum as a means for youth to transcend cultural borders, rediscover the preciousness of life, and reimagine spirituality beyond self-actualization.

Phrenology in Practice
  • Science as Self-Knowledge in the Nineteenth Century

  • Phrenology – a now dismissed and discredited science – was a popular but contested knowledge system in the nineteenth century. Its promoters touted its benefits, claiming that measuring and analyzing protrusions on the skull could solve life's most vexing personal questions: Who am I? Who should I marry? How should I raise my children? How do I treat my illness? How do I comprehend death? Delving into a rich archive of written and material sources, Carla Bittel uncovers the letters, diaries, marginalia, personal artifacts, and mapped heads which show phrenology was not merely directive but also interactive. Bittel argues that everyday users perpetuated phrenology as they adopted, adapted, and resisted it in their pursuit of self-knowledge. She examines how users tried to naturalize individual traits and generalize about the mental and physical qualities attributed to sex and race, revealing disconcerting implications for our modern fixation with knowing and improving ourselves.

Important concepts are illustrated with relevant examples, and each chapter concludes with a selection of exercises. Suitable for upper-division undergraduate to graduate courses on computational physics and scientific computing, this book is also a useful resource for anyone interested in using computation to solve scientific problems.

Biological Fitness

  • Fitness is a central concept in modern biology, integral to the theory of evolution by natural selection. However, statements to the effect that fitness is 'complex', 'ambiguous' and 'impossible to define' abound in the literature. Why has fitness sparked so much confusion, given that natural selection itself is a well understood process? This book offers a novel answer using tools from the philosophy of science. The central argument is that fitness is a theoretical concept and thus defined by its role in evolutionary theory. However there turn out to be four subtly different roles that the concept has been called on to play. This analysis helps to shed light on numerous “fitness controversies” among evolutionists and to unify the philosophical and biological literatures on fitness. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Villainy in the Romantic Novel

  • Providing a new literary history of capitalism and the novel in the long Romantic period, this thought-provoking study tells the story of how insatiable desire came to be central to our understanding of both fictional character and economic activity. In telling this story, Samuel Rowe draws attention to a largely neglected topic in novel studies: the villain. Reading fiction from Samuel Richardson's epistolary masterpieces and oriental tales to Minerva Press potboilers and radical social realism, he examines the broad narrative patterns that shape the use of villains as characters in the long romantic period. Through villainous characters, the period's fiction asks searching questions about the nature of work, consumption, and end-oriented human activity. Rowe makes a case for understanding want – as both lack and desire – as a central preoccupation during the cultural adaptation to liberal capitalism.

The Annals of Tacitus: Book 16

    31 January 2027
  • This is the first scholarly commentary in English on Annals 16 in over a century. It offers a literary, historical and linguistic analysis of one of the most gripping books of the work, which includes, among other things, the narratives of Bassus' treasure trove, Poppaea's death, Petronius' suicide, and Thrasea Paetus' demise, at which point the text breaks off. The detailed commentary pays particular attention to Tacitus' narrative technique and idiosyncratic language, revealing his precise narrative strategy, which becomes evident when compared to the other sources of Nero's principate, such as Suetonius and Cassius Dio. The edition will be invaluable for scholars and postgraduate students who work on Tacitus, as well as those interested in early imperial historiography and history more broadly, especially of the Julio-Claudian period.
