Regulating Water Scarcity
  • A Socio-Legal Perspective
  • Bettina Lange
  • Coming soon

  • Regulating water scarcity engages with a core challenge posed by a changing climate: how can we use legal rules to alleviate water scarcity and drought? Based on interview data, this book examines how managers of water resources – in water companies and environmental regulatory agencies in England and Wales – draw on distinct ideas of evidence when applying legal rules. The book develops its account of evidence as organization in the context of a critical analysis of academic literature about regulatory spaces, the co-production of law with science, Foucaultian ideas about information resources, and the 'rules of the game' that inform how organizations take actions. The book's approach to 'water law in action' includes a comparative perspective that introduces selected features of regulating water scarcity and drought in Australia, China, California and the Colorado river system, Germany and Spain. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

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.

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

  • 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.

Villainy in the Romantic Novel
  • Avarice, Luxury, and Imaginary Wants
  • Samuel Rowe
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    January 2027

    31 January 2027
  • 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
  • Edited by Salvador Bartera
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    January 2027
    Print publication:
    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.

Nahuatl and its Speakers across Time
  • A Multidisciplinary Account of Language Contact, Change, and Continuity
  • Justyna Olko, John Sullivan, Robert Borges
  • Coming soon

    31 January 2027
  • Drawing on an extensive source base spanning five hundred years, from the first half of the sixteenth century to the present, this is the first comprehensive, data-driven study of both historical and modern varieties of Nahuatl, a major Indigenous language spoken in North America. Employing multidisciplinary methods and a diachronic perspective, it identifies the key social, cultural, and linguistic factors that have interacted to motivate language change and the evolution of the social and cultural ecologies of the Indigenous communities in today's multilingual and multiethnic Mexico. It provides a critical enrichment of Western theories of contact-induced language change, continuity, acculturation, and resilience, paving the way for new relational methods of studying these complex phenomena across time and space. It is essential reading for researchers in contact linguistics, historical and synchronic sociolinguistics, Hispanic and Latin American studies, and linguistic typology. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Deadpan and the Nineteenth-Century Emergence of a Comic Style

  • When the term 'deadpan' first appeared during the early twentieth century, it meant 'expressionless face. Sarah Balkin upends received wisdom in this original study of deadpan's emergence, which takes the vaudeville era as an endpoint rather than a beginning. Drawing on examples from Britain, the United States, and Australia, she investigates deadpan's earlier history in theater, comic opera, lecture culture, minstrelsy, cakewalking, burlesque, and vaudeville. In doing so, she reveals the terms performance makers, audiences, and critics used to describe deadpan before the style was named. She shows how deadpan mimicked and parodied socially central values and attitudes to make audiences laugh during a period better known for earnestness and self-control. She also explores how classed, racialized, and gendered comic conventions shifted across cultural contexts. This is the untold story of how deadpan became legible to audiences.

  • As artificial intelligence and data-based digital surveillance rapidly expand in schools and universities via educational technology, educational communities are urgently seeking ways to protect student privacy and reclaim control over their data. Governing Educational Technology in Schools and Universities provides a vital roadmap for understanding and combating these systemic challenges. The book features nine unique case studies that innovatively apply the Governing Knowledge Commons (GKC) and Critical Informatics (CI) frameworks to expose the deep power imbalances inherent in modern EdTech. The book explores a diverse range of critical topics, including AI-powered plagiarism detection, the chilling effects of 'smart university' surveillance, and the media's framing of the 'algorithmic turn'. Moving beyond mere critique, this essential guide equips readers with actionable collective strategies-from academic labor union organizing to decentralized data models-to democratize technology governance and champion digital self-determination. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

  • Substitutions play a role in many problems, such as combinatorics on words, linear recurrent sequences, numeration systems, and complexity theory. This text offers a unified treatment of these problems and easy access to the results and methods of proof. It presents a comprehensive survey of sequences and shift spaces defined by substitutions. The book covers important results, such as the finiteness theorem for minimal morphic shifts, which characterizes a minimal morphic shift by the finiteness of its set of derivatives. Other highlights include the proof of the recognizability property under very general assumptions and the classification of complexity types for substitution shifts. The work culminates with the proof of the decidability of conjugacy for minimal morphic shifts. This is an essential resource for graduate students and academic researchers in dynamical systems.

  • Modern consumption is based on choice. But what if consumer choices are poorly informed, overly constrained, or subject to manipulation and other forms of undue influence? This book offers an original, autonomy-based account of consumer law, arguing that its core function is to facilitate reflective choices: choices consumers can reasonably endorse. Moving beyond predominant narratives, the book offers a comprehensive theory that reconceptualises fundamental tools of consumer law, including disclosure duties, advertising law, unfair terms control, remedies, and withdrawal rights. Combining abstract theory with comprehensive doctrinal analysis of EU consumer law, the book demonstrates how the quality of consumer choices can be improved at different stages of their market interactions with traders. The book confronts contemporary challenges related to digital consumer markets and demonstrates the limits of consumer law in addressing social inequality and environmental sustainability. It will interest everyone seeking understanding of how consumer law shapes modern market life.

Politics, Grievances, and Protest

  • Politics, Grievances, and Protest draws on one hundred interviews and forty years of media coverage to provide a cross-national analysis of student mobilization in Latin America's Southern Cone. The book explains why student protests increased in Chile starting in the 2000s, while decreasing in neighboring Argentina and Uruguay. Its findings show that when democracies persistently ignore social demands, they may indirectly foster protest growth. In such contexts, the absence of meaningful change fuels anti-establishment grievances, encourages social movement innovation, and facilitates processes of radicalization that can spread widely. In contrast, state responsiveness often produces the opposite effect. These findings challenge long-standing theories that link relatively closed political systems and movement radicalization to decreased mobilization and suggest that grievances play a central role in shaping variation in protest activity. This is a Flip it Open title and may be available open access on Cambridge Core.

Strategic Open Justice
  • How Courts Communicate
  • Jane Johnston
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

    31 December 2026
  • Strategic Open Justice examines how fusing two fundamental components of modern democratic societies – strategic communication and open justice – has begun a revolutionary change in the way courts manage their public media and communication practice. It explores historic developments that have led to contemporary media and communication operations in the courts and how these both build and challenge public opinion and community confidence in the administration of justice and the judicial arm of government. The cross-disciplinary approach combines theory and practice from law, media and journalism, strategic communication, and narratology in a single, internationally researched volume. Examining concepts such as publicity, transparency, media platforms, big data, AI, and open justice itself, it presents a thought-provoking analysis of how contemporary open justice developed and changed, the actors involved, how communication and media drive engagement, and the challenges and benefits in modernising court communication practices, cultures, and traditions.

Rediscovering the 'Judge' of Israel in Judah's Bible

  • Why are the leaders of early Israel called 'Judges'? What does this institution refer to and where did it come from? How was it appropriated, transformed, and reconceptualized in the Hebrew Bible? To answer these questions, Julian Chike offers an analysis of new data, a re-evaluation of previous data in light of new data, and, more importantly, a new framework for using second millennium BCE sources from the ancient Near East to rediscover the 'Judge' of Israel in Judah's Bible. Rather than reflecting scribal invention or later borrowing, Chike proposes that the 'Judge' of Israel stands in cultural continuity with an ancient form of leadership called šāpitòum which stems from the Amorite world most clearly depicted in the Mari documents. The findings of this study invite a re-evaluation of compositional and historical claims surrounding Israel's origin stories and stimulate further conversation about Amorite relations to the inhabitants of early Israel.

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

    31 December 2026
  • 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.

    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.

Social Science History
  • Principles and Procedures for Processing Historical Evidence

    31 December 2026
  • 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.
