  • A celebrity in his own time, Handel remains popular with performers, music-lovers and scholars today. The specially commissioned contributions to this volume will enable students, teachers and concert-goers to better appreciate his music through a deeper understanding of the world in which he lived. The chapters focus on key aspects of the composer's career within the different social, political, cultural and musical contexts he experienced in Britain and Europe. They explore Handel's lifestyle and his personal and professional relationships; the various musical establishments for which he worked; the styles, practices and personnel that shaped his compositions; and the influence, reception and legacy of his music during and since his lifetime. Writing from a variety of perspectives, authors shed light on each topic while helping readers to navigate the breadth of recent scholarship. This book is an essential reference work for anybody studying Handel's music or that of his eighteenth-century contemporaries.

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.

Ideas as Causes
  • A Methodological Inquiry

  • Why do we do what we do? One commonsense answer is that actions follow ideas. We have ideas about who we are, what we believe, what we value, and how we ought to behave. These ideas-partly inherited and partly chosen, partly conscious and partly unconscious-structure our behavior. Much of what social scientists produce falls into the 'ideas' category. This includes well-worn subjects such as ideology, values, norms, roles, beliefs, religion, culture, political culture, as well as facets of identity captured by ethnicity, nation, race, gender, and sexuality. Yet within social science research, interests and institutions remain the preferred mode of explanation. In this ambitious and timely study of social behavior, John Gerring brings ideas into the fold of causal explanation. He offers an overview of the field, an in-depth discussion of the methodological obstacles facing ideational causes, and some potential solutions for researchers across social science fields.

  • Black girls face a mental-health crisis. Acting as a call to action, this book examines the long history of overlooking Black girls' pain and analyzes how expectations of resilience place harmful pressure on them, contributing to anxiety, depression, and delayed self-care. Chapters trace the trauma Black girls have shouldered since enslavement and pair this history with first-hand accounts from contemporary Black girls who describe the pressures they face today and the limited emotional support they receive in educational and social settings. By amplifying these voices, the text challenges the 'Strong Black Girl' image and calls for expanded mental-health resources to ensure Black girls' well-being is prioritized. With current policies failing to meet Black girls' needs, In Plain Sight makes their pain visible and offers concrete steps that equip parents, schools, community members, health providers, and policymakers with tools to take meaningful action to support and protect Black girls.

The Last Temptation
  • External Intervention in the Israel-Palestine Conflict
  • Rory Miller, Ciarán Ó Cuinn
  • Coming soon

    31 December 2026
  • Why have states continued to intervene in the Israel-Palestine conflict? How have those interventions helped shape the current crisis, and is a better way of engagement possible? Exploring the role of colonial mandates, super-power rivalries and multilateral peace processes, this book considers how states, regional organizations and international institutions have influenced the conflict since 1967. Rory Miller and Ciarán Ó Cuinn explore what these interventions have achieved, where they have fallen short, and why they continue to matter both on the ground and around the world. As the conflict continues to dominate the international diplomatic and political agenda, Miller and Ó Cuinn propose a new framework for external intervention. Building on the 'Parity, then Peace' concept, this approach seeks to ensure that the core issues of the conflict are dealt with on the basis of equality.

Politics, Grievances, and Protest
  • Student Movements in Latin America's Southern Cone

  • 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.

This streamlined text includes all key information, allowing readers to remain focused and enjoy the feeling of mastery that comes from a grounded understanding of a topic, from its fundamentals to its implications.

The Development of Military History in Britain
  • Writing and Studying War, 1815–1914

  • How and why did military history emerge, expand and diversify in Britain between 1815 and 1914? Through an exploration of army educational material, university syllabuses and popular history for the reading public, Adam Dighton provides the first comprehensive account of military history's appearance as a historical genre in Britain. By considering the subject's development as it was understood by contemporary readers, historians and publishers, he challenges existing descriptions of the nature, scope and theoretical complexity of nineteenth-century historical writing. He shows how military history came to play a crucial role in officer education and examines the extent to which the writing of prominent military thinkers, such as Jomini and Clausewitz, influenced how the subject was studied. He also explores the ways military history portrayed warfare, the British Army and empire to the reading public, as well as how it was employed to further the ends of imperial rule.

  • 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.
