What kind of country is America?
Zachary Shore tackles this polarizing question by spotlighting some of the most morally muddled matters of World War II. Should Japanese Americans be moved from the west coast to prevent sabotage? Should the German people be made to starve as punishment for launching the war? Should America drop atomic bombs to break Japan’s will to fight? Surprisingly, despite wartime anger, most Americans and key officials favored mercy over revenge, yet a minority managed to push their punitive policies through. After the war, by feeding the hungry, rebuilding Western Europe and Japan, and airlifting supplies to a blockaded Berlin, America strove to restore the country’s humanity, transforming its image in the eyes of the world. A compelling story of the struggle over racism and revenge, This Is Not Who We Are asks crucial questions about the nation’s most agonizing divides.

• Asks why America treated its enemies so cruelly throughout WWII, despite public and government support for mercy.
• Suggests that America’s wartime acts resulted less from racism than revenge.
• Offers a fresh perspective into well-known characters in US history.
• Presents the interconnections of each vengeful and virtuous act.
• Reveals how Americans came together to rebuild a shattered world.

world needs to turn away from fossil fuels and use clean, renewable sources of energy as soon as we can. Failure to do so will cause catastrophic climate damage sooner than you might think, leading to loss of biodiversity and economic and political instability. But all is not lost! We still have time to save the planet without resorting to ‘miracle’ technologies. We need to wave goodbye to outdated technologies, such as natural gas and carbon capture, and repurpose the technologies that we already have at our disposal. We can use existing technologies to harness, store, and transmit energy from wind, water, and solar sources to ensure reliable electricity, heat supplies, and energy security. Find out what you can do to improve the health, climate, and economic state of our planet. Together, we can solve the climate crisis, eliminate air pollution and safely secure energy supplies for everyone.

humanity
Poets and astronomers often ask the same questions. Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Throughout human history, poetry has provided stories about what people observe in the sky. Stars, planets, comets, the moon, and space travel are used as metaphors for our feelings of love, loneliness, adventurousness, and awe. This anthology includes poets, astronomers, and scientists from the twelfth century BCE to today, from all around the world. Sappho, Du Fu, Hafez, and Shakespeare are joined by Gwyneth Lewis’s space requiem, Tracy K. Smith on the Hubble telescope, and Charles Simic, whose poem accompanied a NASA mission. Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Edmund Halley accompany modern scientists including Rebecca Elson, Alice Gorman on the first woman in space, and Yun Wang’s space journal on travel to Andromeda. This collection reaches across time and cultures to illuminate how we think about outer space, and ourselves.

Disease
Daniel Gibbs is one of 50 million people worldwide with an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Unlike most patients with Alzheimer’s, however, Dr Gibbs worked as a neurologist for twenty-five years, caring for patients with the very disease now affecting him. Also unusual is that Dr Gibbs had begun to suspect he had Alzheimer’s several years before any official diagnosis could be made. Forewarned by genetic testing showing he carried alleles that increased the risk of developing the disease, he noticed symptoms of mild cognitive impairment long before any tests would have alerted him. In this highly personal account, Dr Gibbs documents the effect his diagnosis has had on his life and explains his advocacy for improving early recognition of Alzheimer’s. Weaving clinical knowledge from decades caring for dementia patients with his personal experience of the disease, this is an optimistic tale of one man’s journey with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
combined narrative of Dr Gibbs’ clinical knowledge and his engaging personal experience with the disease ensures the book will appeal to both professional and lay audiences with an interest in brain health.
• Lived-experience commentary from a patient living with Alzheimer’s disease provides an insight into the uncertainty and lack of information before and after a diagnosis, and offers reassurance to other patients about what lies ahead.
• An optimistic call-to-action for further investment in the research of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, where patients who are otherwise pre-symptomatic still have the chance to slow the progression of the disease with lifestyle changes and potential medical treatments.

The freedom to think what you want and to say what you think has always generated a pushback of regulation and censorship. This raises the thorny question: to what extent does free speech actually endanger speech protection? This book examines today’s calls for speech legislation and places it into historical perspective, using fascinating examples from the past 200 years, to explain the historical context of laws regulating speech. Over time, the freedom to speak has grown, the ways in which we communicate have evolved due to technology, and our ideas about speech protection have been challenged as a result. Now more than ever, we are living in a free speech paradox: powerful speakers weaponize their rights in order to silence those less‑powerful speakers who oppose them. By understanding how this situation has developed, we can stand up to these threats to the freedom of speech.

• Places key present-day concerns about free speech and speech regulation in a historical setting to reveal the ways that the past is prelude to the present.
• A study of the protections and limitations placed on political speech, strong language, threatening words, ‘foreign’ language, and compelled speech, as well as a look at some current dangers to protecting speech in liberal democracies going forward.
• Explores issues between the First and Second Amendments; the right to free speech and the right to bear arms.
You’ve heard of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. But have you heard of Amy Archer-Gilligan? Or Belle Gunness? Or Nannie Doss? Women have committed some of the most disturbing serial killings ever seen in the United States. Yet scientific inquiry, criminal profiling, and public interest have focused more on their better-known male counterparts. As a result, female serial killers have been misunderstood, overlooked, and underestimated. In this riveting account, Dr. Marissa A. Harrison draws on original scientific research, various psychological perspectives, and richly detailed case studies to illuminate the stark differences between female and male serial killers’ backgrounds, motives, and crimes. She also emphasises the countless victims of this grisly phenomenon to capture the complexity and tragedy of serial murder. Meticulously weaving data-based evidence and insight with intimate storytelling, Just as Deadly reveals how and why these women murder—and why they often get away with it.
• Explores what motivates serial murderers and addresses why society is so fascinated by them.
Provides data-driven analysis and meticulously researched case studies to illustrate key psychological phenomena among female serial killers.
• Compares the stark differences between female and male serial killers’ backgrounds, motives, crimes, and victims, showing why female killers’ crimes often go undetected despite being just as heinous as those committed by males.
“It is hard to believe that international cooperation remains a tough sell in 2022. Imagine: global problems require global solutions! Bess spells out concrete, and hopefully doable, steps toward overcoming polarization and fragmentation. Let’s hope he’s right.”
“Michael Bess is able to look over the horizon and think creatively without losing sight of what is viable. In Planet in Peril he offers insightful ... solutions to four of the greatest threats facing humankind. It is one of those rare books that is both a joy to read and a roadmap for solving daunting problems.”
MICHAEL VANDENBERGH, Vanderbilt Universityby an award-winning historian of science and technology, Planet in Peril describes the top four mega-dangers facing humankind – climate change, nukes, pandemics, and artificial intelligence. It outlines the solutions that have been tried, and analyzes why they have thus far fallen short. These four existential dangers present a special kind of challenge that urgently requires planet-level responses, yet today’s international institutions have so far failed to meet this need. The book lays out
realistic pathway for gradually modifying the United Nations over the coming century so that it can become more effective at coordinating global solutions to humanity’s problems. Neither optimistic nor pessimistic, but pragmatic and constructive, the book explores how to move past ideological polarization and global political fragmentation. Unafraid to take intellectual risks, Planet in Peril sketches a plausible roadmap toward a safer, more democratic future for us all.
• Offers a single explanatory framework for understanding the seemingly disparate challenges facing humankind.
• Describes a realistic pathway for modifying the United Nations to become a more effective instrument for coordinating planet-level solutions to humanity’s mega-problems.
• Puts forward an integrated set of planet-level solutions that can be implemented incrementally over the coming century to head off potential catastrophes caused by these four mega-dangers.
• Written in vivid prose with illustrative examples drawn from history.
• Combines history, science, technology and politics in reflection and analysis.

THOMAS G. WEISS, CUNY Graduate Center
This book revisits a distinction introduced in 1921 by economists Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes: that between statistically predictable future events (‘risks’) and statistically unpredictable, uncertain events (‘uncertainties’). Governments have generally ignored the latter, perceiving phenomena such as pandemics, natural disasters and climate change as uncontrollable Acts of God. As a result, there has been little if any preparation for future catastrophes. Our modern society is more interconnected and more globalized than ever. Dealing with uncertain future events requires a stronger and more globally coordinated government response. This book suggests a larger, more global government role in dealing with these disasters and keeping economic inequalities low. Major institutional changes, such as regulating the private sector for the common good and dealing with special harms, risks and crises, especially those concerning climate change and pandemics, are necessary in order to achieve any semblance of future progress for humankind.

can be a source of anxiety for school children and working professionals alike. Yet the spelling of words in English is not as random or chaotic as it is often perceived to be; rather, it is a system based on both meaning and a fascinating linguistic history. Misty Adoniou’s public articles on the processes of teaching and learning spelling have garnered an overwhelming response from concerned parents and teachers looking for effective solutions to the problems they face in teaching English spelling to children. Spelling It Out, Revised edition aims to ease anxiety and crush the myth that good spelling comes naturally. Good spelling comes from good teaching. Based on Misty Adoniou’s extensive research into spelling learning and instruction, this book encourages children and adults to nurture a curiosity about words, discover their history and, in so doing, understand the logic behind the way they are spelled.

Was the outcome of the First World War on a knife edge? In this major reassessment of German wartime politics and strategy, Holger Afflerbach argues that the outcome of the war was actually in the balance until relatively late in the war. Using new evidence from diaries, letters and memoirs, he fundamentally revises our understanding of German strategy from the decision to go to war and the failure of the western offensive to the radicalisation of Germany’s war effort under Hindenburg and Ludendorff and the ultimate collapse of the Central Powers. He uncovers the struggles in wartime Germany between supporters of a compromise peace and hardliners who wanted to fight to the finish. He suggests that the German leadership was not nearly as committed to all-out conquest as previous accounts argue. Numerous German peace advances could have offered the opportunity to end the war before it dragged Europe into the abyss.

From early childhood boys often feel pressured to be athletic and muscular. But what impact does this have on physical and mental well-being through their teens and beyond? Worryingly, a third of teen boys are trying to ‘bulk up’ due to body dissatisfaction, and boys and men account for 25% of eating disorder cases. What can we tell our boys to help them feel happy and confident simply being themselves? Being You has the answers! It’s an easy-to-read, evidence-based guide to developing a positive body image for boys aged 12+. It covers all the facts on puberty, diet, exercise, self-care, mental health, social media, and everything in-between. Boys will find answers to the questions most on their mind, the truth behind many diet and exercise myths, and real-life stories from other boys. Armed with this book, they will understand that muscles don’t make a man – it’s enough simply being you!
• Provides accurate, evidence-based information about body image, healthy eating habits, mental and physical health for pre-teen and teen-aged boys.
• Helps boys to understand and appreciate their bodies as they become young men, and navigate their way through inaccurate health/diet information and unrealistic body ideals portrayed in the media.

For decades, Hong Kong has maintained precarious freedom at the edge of competing world powers. In City on the Edge, Ho-fung Hung offers a timely and engaging account of Hong Kong’s development from precolonial times to the present, with particular focus on the post 1997 handover period. Through careful analysis of vast economic data, a myriad of political events, and intricate networks of actors and ideas, Hung offers readers insight into the fraught economic, political, and social forces that led to the 2019 uprising, while situating the protests in the context of global finance and the geopolitics of the US-China rivalry. A provocative contribution to the discussion on Hong Kong’s position in today’s world, City on the Edge demonstrates that the resistance and repression of 2019-2020 does not spell the end of Hong Kong but the beginning of a long conflict with global repercussions.
• Introduces readers to the institutional and cultural complexity of Hong Kong and the evolution of the city in the years since 1997.
• Illustrates the larger global political and economic forces that shaped Beijing’s Hong Kong policy, US Hong Kong policy, and the socio-political conflicts in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover.
• Compares Hong Kong’s struggle for autonomy to similar struggles in Tibet, East Timor, Northern Ireland and Kosovo showing that Hong Kong is part of a wider global trend of local regions/cities trying to break free from dominant nation-states/empires.
