  • 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.

  • Whether it is waiting in line at the supermarket, merging onto the freeway, or saying hello to a neighbour, taking turns is one of the most fundamental aspects of social organization. It is through the taking of turns with one another that we are able to produce and understand the myriad actions that reflect, constitute, and sustain social life. This text is the first book-length monograph to offer a comprehensive overview of turn-taking organization in naturally occurring social interaction-including how turns-at-talk are constructed and how they are allocated amongst participants. We synthesize and illustrate findings from a wide array of languages and cultures, drawing attention to both universal and language-specific phenomena, with several video fragments available on the Cambridge University Press companion website. In addition, throughout the text, we point to a range of underexplored phenomena, outlining new projects that can be undertaken by readers.

Hyperbolic Profit
  • Corporate Financial Manipulation and the Price We Pay for It

  • Profit is the driving force of the modern economy, yet reported profits are increasingly becoming products of hyperbole-speculative and exaggerated claims about future income, presented as if they have already come true. Hyperbolic Profit transforms how we think about profit, explaining how contemporary accounting practices, embedded in professional standards and business culture, are used to inflate corporate profits. Dave Elder-Vass shows that this is not merely a technical issue but a serious problem that affects us all. Tenuous profit claims are routinely used to justify vast transfers of wealth to executives and shareholders, intensifying economic inequality. At the same time, this strips corporations of the assets that sustain their long-term solvency, generating systemic financial risk in our economy. This book advocates a new politics of profit-one that prioritises economic resilience, accountability, and collective well-being over short-term enrichment at the top.

The Age of Commerce
  • Merchants, Markets and Wealth in the Early Modern Atlantic World
  • Pierre Gervais

  • In an ambitious, revisionist interpretation of European commercial life, Pierre Gervais argues that the early modern economy has been misunderstood as simply the prelude to our modern industrial capitalist world. Instead, it was structured around monopolistic groups controlling market accesses and pushing for aggressive expansion, including overseas. This 'Age of Commerce' gave rise to complex societies, ranging from a wealthy European centre to a ferociously exploited, slave-based colonial periphery. But by the eighteenth century, commercial competition had become increasingly destructive, with commerce-based European empires battling for world supremacy and non-merchant social groups rebelling against an increasingly intolerable merchant exploitation. Industrial capitalism was born from this crisis, as innovative producers implemented cost controls and productivity gains. Through a clearer understanding of how European economies became powerful, Gervais breaks down claims of innate technical or moral superiority, and demonstrates the historically contingent nature of capitalist business practices held to be self-evident today.

Remembering Partition
  • Violence, Nationalism and History in India
  • 2nd edition
  • Gyanendra Pandey

    28 February 2027
  • Gyanendra Pandey's canonical work, Remembering Partition, first published in 2001, sought to recover the history of Partition as a re-negotiation and re-ordering of historical relationships, hierarchies and practices among communities caught in moments of unimagined and unprecedented disruption. On its Silver Jubilee, the author deepens his critique of statist histories written in the shadow of nationalism through his juxtaposition of historians' history with popular memories in the matter of representing Partition. Expanding his analysis of the received understanding of history, memory and archive, he updates the entire text in the light of important recent research and writings. A new chapter, focused on depressed castes and classes largely marginalized in Partition studies when Remembering Partition was first published, significantly enriches this major work of history and historiography. In a time of increasing partitions and violence, Pandey's sustained critique of history-writing and nationalist myth-making gains greater urgency.

Aristotelian Souls in an Inanimate World
  • The Principle of Life
  • Christopher Frey

  • Why should we consider activities as diverse as an amoeba dividing, a saffron crocus blooming, a tiger stalking its prey, and a human contemplating the heavens to be manifestations of a single thing, namely, life? According to Aristotle, to answer this question one must first understand the soul. The soul is life's principle-the primary cause of the ways living beings feed, reproduce, move, perceive, and think. This book starts from the premise that we can only grasp Aristotle's broadly metaphysical theses by studying how he employs them in his scientific investigations. Christopher Frey engages with a wide selection of Aristotle's texts including detailed discussions of his physical and biological works, and brings contemporary discussions of the philosophy of life into conversation with Aristotle's account, shedding light on the centrality of life to Aristotle's philosophy and on the role life should play in our endeavors to understand these questions.

Emancipation and the Making of a Modern Empire

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • The Weird-a transgressive mode of fiction redolent with ooze, tentacles, and unfathomable geometries-has proven to be one of the most influential genres of the past century, despite being one of the most difficult to define. This volume charts the development of the Weird, from its origins in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (drawing connections to both popular, pulp fiction and 'high' Modernism) to the New Weird of today and related global forms. Leading scholars explore this troubling genre, offering global perspectives that go beyond the narrow frame of Euro-American fiction, to include works from Africa, Asia, and Scandinavia, as well as Indigenous voices, and ranging from novels and magazines to movies and games. The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Weird is both a comprehensive history and a broad reimagining of the field, perfect for general readers, undergraduate researchers, and scholars of the form.
