D. H. Lawrence and Psychoanalysis This book opens out a wholly new field of enquiry within a familiar subject: it offers a detailed – yet eminently readable – historical investigation of a kind never yet undertaken of the impact of psychoanalysis (at a crucial moment of its history) on the thinking and writing of D. H. Lawrence. It considers the impact on his writing through his relationship with Frieda Weekley of the maverick Austrian analyst Otto Gross; it situates the great works of 1911-20 in relation to the controversial issues at stake in the Freud-Jung quarrel about which his good friend the English psychoanalyst David Eder kept him informed; and it explores his sympathy with the maverick American analyst Trigant Burrow. It is a study to interest a literary audience by its close reading of Lawrence’s texts and a psychoanalytic audience by its detailed consideration of the contribution made to contemporary debate by three comparatively neglected analytic thinkers. | D. H. Lawrence and Psychoanalysis GBP 38.99 1
Socialtechnological Man/h Recent international attention has focused on desertification and its concomitants especially the diminution of flora and fauna in arid and semiarid lands and the resulting reduction in the economic value of those lands. Natural factors such as drought and wind erosion as well as various technological practices have been blamed for the present situation in many countries. Most observers agree that human beings have been both perpetrators and victims of desertification. Anthropologists have long been interested in documenting hew different societies have affected and been affected by their environments. The papers in this volume present ease studies of societies ranging from ancient Peru to contemporary Israel along with several topically oriented works. All are designed to illustrate how various societies-whether by water management or by the exploitation of plants and animals-have attempted to achieve ecological balance. Social organization and ideology as well as technology are discussed as important variables affecting the ways in which populations adapt to or cope with desertification. | Socialtechnological Man/h GBP 36.99 1

Edwin H. Sutherland Edwin H. Sutherland is widely identified as the single most important and influential criminologist of the twentieth century. He is especially well-known for his path-breaking criminology textbook (first published in 1924) his promotion of a sociological (and scientific) approach to the understanding of crime and its control his theory of differential association and his work over his final ten years on white-collar crime a term he is credited with having introduced. This book explores the contemporary meaning of Edwin Sutherland and considers why criminologists today should continue to engage with his work. What can and should Sutherland mean to future 21st century criminologists those working in the field say between 2021 and 2050 or some one hundred years after the 1921 to 1950 period that encompassed Sutherland’s criminological career? Which dimensions of Sutherland’s work have best survived the march of time and which are most likely to – and deserve to – survive going forward? Making the case that Sutherland is important to both mainstream and critical criminologists to positivistic criminologists and those who study crimes of the powerful this book is essential reading for both students and scholars interested in exploring the enduring legacy of this key thinker in criminology.

D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature Shortlisted for the ASLE-UKI Prize for Best Academic Monograph This is the first ecocritical book on the works of D. H. Lawrence and also the first to consider the links between nature and gender in the poetry and the novels. In his search for a balanced relationship between male and female characters what role does nature play in the challenges Lawrence offers his readers? How far are the anxieties of his characters in negotiating relationships that might threaten their sense of self derived from the same source as their anxieties about engaging with the Other in nature? Indeed might Lawrence’s metaphors drawn from nature actually be the causes of human actions in The Rainbow for example? The originality of Lawrence’s poetic and narrative strategies for challenging social attitudes towards both nature and gender can be revealed by new approaches offered by ecocritical theory and ecofeminist readings of his books. This book explores ecocritical notions to frame its ecofeminist readings from the difference between the ‘Other’ and ‘otherness’ in The White Peacock and Lady Chatterley’s Lover ‘anotherness’ in the poetry of Birds Beasts and Flowers psychogeography in Sea and Sardinia emergent ecofeminism in Sons and Lovers land and gender in The Boy in the Bush gender dialogics in Kangaroo human animality in Women in Love trees as tests in Aaron’s Rod to ‘radical animism’ in The Plumed Serpent. Finally three late tales provide a reassessment of ecofeminist insights into Lawrence’s work for readers in the present context of the Anthropocene. | D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature GBP 130.00 1

Process and Pattern in Culture Essays in Honor of Julian H. Steward This festschrift commemorates Julian H. Steward. The essays were contributed by former students colleagues and other anthropologists whose research or thinking has been influenced by him. There was no preconceived attempt to give the volume any greater sense of unity or to impose upon the contributors any restrictions as to subject matter. On the contrary each author was urged to write on an anthropological topic of greatest current interest to himself. Many of the essays could be placed just as handily within a division other than the one to which they have arbitrarily been assigned in the book. This kind of interchangeability may reflect in some measure the interrelatedness of Steward's contributions to anthropological theory. The broad relevance of all the selections to Steward's work could reflect also the extent to which his interests continue to be reflected in the work of anthropologists influenced by him. It could also reflect a parallelism of theoretical concerns within the profession that stem from the cultural ambience that produced Steward himself. Parallelisms and convergence are aspects of the kind of cultural determinism which has claimed Steward's attention during the many years that he fought a fairly lonely battle to establish the respectability of evolutionism in anthropology. Now that respectability has been achieved-with an almost bandwagon fervor-it is clear that Steward as much as anyone else in anthropology was responsible for the change. The essays in this collection are at once a vindication of his patience an evidence of the high status he enjoys among anthropologists and a testimony to the impact of his unusual creativity on his colleagues. | Process and Pattern in Culture Essays in Honor of Julian H. Steward GBP 130.00 1
Volume 19 Tome VI: Kierkegaard Bibliography Figures A to H The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome VI: Kierkegaard Bibliography Figures A to H GBP 38.99 1
Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today – for better and worse. Heinrich’s work is debated and heavily critiqued by some while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay secondary sources or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrich’s work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find and quality biographical information is hard to get. Based on some serious safety archaeology which provided access to many of Heinrich’s original papers books and rather rich biographical information this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich the context he worked in and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrich’s work and discusses them paying attention to their origins the developments that came from them interpretations and attributions and the critiques that they may have attracted over the years. This includes such well-known ideas and metaphor as the accident triangle the accident sequence (dominoes) the hidden cost of accidents the human element and management responsibility. This book is the first to deal with the work and legacy of Heinrich as a whole based on a unique richness of material and approaching the matter from several (new) angles. It also reflects on Heinrich’s relevance for today’s safety science and practice. | Preventing Industrial Accidents Reappraising H. W. Heinrich – More than Triangles and Dominoes GBP 38.99 1
Family Values and Social Justice Reflections on Family Values: the Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships by H. Brighouse and A. Swift In making the argument for the remedy of inequality contemporary political philosophers often emphasize the arbitrariness of disadvantage stressing how one’s lot in life is to a significant extent determined by the circumstances of one’s birth that is in which family and in what part of the world. In the latter instance people differ in how well they live in a large part because of their context in the global order. But equally important for a person’s chances in life is the family that raises her (if the person is lucky enough to have a family in the first place). In Family Values: the Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships Harry Brighouse and Adam Swift provide a systematic analysis of the morality and politics of the family exploring why families are valuable whether people have a right to parent what rights and duties parents have and in particular what rights children have that may constrain the rights of their parents. The essays in this volume assess Brighouse and Swift’s contribution taking up a number of controversial issues about autonomy human flourishing parental rights and indeed the nature of childhood itself. Contributors offer a range of arguments some challenging others complementing of Brighouse and Swift’s account of the ethics of parent-child relationships. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue in the Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. | Family Values and Social Justice Reflections on Family Values: the Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships by H.
