  • THE BLACK ECHO

    Go back to where it all began for LAPD detective Harry Bosch, star of Amazon Prime’s Bosch, in his first case The Black Echo – a gripping, action-packed thriller.

    LAPD detective Harry Bosch is a loner and a nighthawk. One Sunday he gets a call-out on his pager. A body has been found in a drainage tunnel off Mulholland Drive, Hollywood. At first sight, it looks like a routine drugs overdose case, but the one new puncture wound amid the scars of old tracks leaves Bosch unconvinced.

    To make matters worse, Harry Bosch recognises the victim. Billy Meadows was a fellow ‘tunnel rat’ in Vietnam, running against the VC and the fear they all used to call the Black Echo. Bosch believes he let down Billy Meadows once before, so now he is determined to bring the killer to justice.

  • The Dictionary of Alternatives : Utopianism and Organization

    ‘There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism’, is the orthodoxy of the twenty-first century. All too often, ordinary people across the world are being told that the problem of organization is already solved, or that it is being solved somewhere else, or that it need not concern them because they have no choices. This dictionary provides those who disagree with the evidence.

    Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism

  • The Earth and it’s Peoples: Student Text – From 1200 to 1870 v. B : A Global History

  • The Earth and Its Peoples: Since 1500 v. 2, Chapters 15-30 : A Global History

    Although this brief edition is two-thirds the length of its full-length counterpart, it retains coverage of all major themes and provides a truly global perspective on world history, without over-emphasising Europe or the U.S. “The Earth and Its Peoples” focuses on the interaction of human beings and the environment, using this central theme to compare different times, places and societies.

  • The End of Certainty : Towards a New Internationalism

    “The End of Certainty” is a magical realist book on world politics. Stephen Chan takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through how we can establish a new kind of international relations and construct a common future for the planet. The book’s main argument is that international politics has failed because the certainties of singular traditions of philosophy fail to help us in understanding power shifts and struggles in an endlessly diverse world. Chan argues that fusing different strands of Western, Eastern, religious and philosophical thought, is far more likely to help us understand and move forward amidst uncertainty. In doing so, he takes us on a journey from the battlefields of Eritrea to the Twin Towers, via the “Book of Job”, Clausewitz, Fanon and Wahabism. You’ll never think about politics in quite the same way again.

  • The Enemy of Nature : The End of Capitalism or the End of the World?

    We live in and from nature, but the way we have evolved of doing this is about to destroy us. Capitalism and its by-products – imperialism, war, neoliberal globalization, racism, poverty and the destruction of community – are all playing a part in the destruction of our ecosystem.

    Only now are we beginning to realise the depth of the crisis and the kind of transformation which will have to occur to ensure our survival. This second, thoroughly updated, edition of The Enemy of Nature speaks to this new environmental awareness. Joel Kovel argues against claims that we can achieve a better environment through the current Western ‘way of being’. By suggesting a radical new way forward, a new kind of ‘ecosocialism’, Joel Kovel offers real hope and vision for a more sustainable future.

    According to conventional wisdom, innovation is best left to the dynamic entrepreneurs of the private sector, and government should get out of the way. But what if all this was wrong? What if, from Silicon Valley to medical breakthroughs, the public sector has been the boldest and most valuable risk-taker of all?

    ‘A brilliant book’ Martin Wolf, Financial Times

  • The Essence of Anthropology

    Haviland et al. present anthropology from a holistic, four-field perspective using three unifying themes to provide a framework for the text: the varied ways human groups face the many challenges of existence, the connections between human culture and human biology, and the disparate impact of globalization on peoples and cultures around the world. Between the superlative writing-which instructors raved about in their reviews-and the strong pedagogical program, the text is designed to help students grasp the concepts and their relevance to today’s complex world. Such pedagogy as the “Challenge Issue” at the beginning of each chapter and the “Questions for Reflection” at the end of each chapter–which are linked to the Challenge Issue–provide a framework that ensures that the chapters consistently focus on and reflect the text’s themes. Boxed features such as “Biocultural Connections,” “Original Studies,” and “Anthropology Applied” hone in on particularly interesting examples that give students deeper insight into the meaning and relevance of a wide range of topics covered in the general narrative.

  • The European Union and Asia

    The relationship between Europe and Asia is of increasing importance in the 21st century. The challenges straddling the two continents include immigration, poverty, environmental degradation, terrorism, drugs, nuclear proliferation and internecine strife. Addressing these problems will demand bi-continental cooperation in the fields of politics, economy, population, security and culture. The political rationale for Europe-Asia relations has been further strengthened by Russia’s promotion of a more active role in Asia and in the international community more generally. In this book Georg Wiessala explores the significance of Asia for Europe in general and the EU in particular, calling for a much more sophisticated mutual understanding. He analyses the existing Asia Policy of the European Union, tracing its development in the last 30 years of the 20th century, and up to the publication of the strategy document “Europe and Asia: A Strategic Framework for Enhanced Partnership” in 2001.

    From Ernest Hemingway’s Preface: ‘There are many kinds of stories in this book. I hope you will find some that you like- In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.’
