About
We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis - and most people want to see more action. But after three decades of climate COPs, we are accelerating into a polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality, and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back? Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the future, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media, and our businesses. Anyone asking ‘what can each of us do right now to help?’ will find inspiration in this practical and important book.

The Psychology of Female Serial Killers
About
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 emphasizes 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.
About the Author

The Cambridge Centennial Edition of The Great Gatsby
About
The Great Gatsby is often called the great American novel. Emblematic of an entire era, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic tale of illicit desire, grand illusions, and lost dreams is rendered in a lyrical prose that revives a vanished world of glittering parties and vibrant jazz, where money and deceit walk hand in hand. Rich in humor, sharply observant of status and class, the book tells the story of Jay Gatsby’s efforts to keep his faith – in money, in love, in all the promises of America – amid the chaos and conflict of life on Long Island’s Gold Coast during the Roaring Twenties. This centennial edition presents the established version of the text in a collector’s volume replete with social, cultural, and historical context, and numerous illustrations. The authoritative introduction examines persistent myths about Fitzgerald, his greatest work, and the age he embodies, while offering fresh ways of reading this iconic work.

About
What do nineteenth-century fiction, early twentieth-century popular music, 1930s soccer, 1950s film comedy, 1960s experimental art and 1970s soap operas have in common with one another? Each reveal the deep patterns structuring social and cultural life in Rio de Janeiro. Bringing a fresh perspective to one of the most visited cities in South America, Bryan McCann explores each manifestation in turn, mining their depths and drawing connections between artistic movements and political and economic transitions. The book explores the centrality of slavery to every aspect of life in nineteenth century Rio and its long legacy through to the current day, illuminating both the city’s grinding inequality and violence, as well as its triumphant cultural expressions. Rio de Janeiro is a unique and fascinating city, and through ten pivotal moments, McCann reveals its boundless creativity and contradictions, and shows how it has been continually remade by newcomers, strivers, and tricksters.

Fulbrook, University College London

Berlin Ten Moments that Shaped Series
History
About
Now capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin rose from insignificant origins on swampy soil, becoming a city of immigrants over the ages. Through a series of ten vignettes, Mary Fulbrook discusses the periods and regimes that shaped its character – whether Prussian militarism; courtly culture and enlightenment; rapid industrialisation and expansion; ambitious imperialism; experiments with democracy; or repressive dictatorships of both right and left, dramatically evidenced in the violence of World War and genocide, and then in the Wall dividing Cold War Berlin. This book also presents Berlin’s distinctive history as firmly rooted in specific places and sites. Statues and memorials have been erected and demolished, plaques displayed and displaced, and streets named and renamed in recurrent cycles of suppression or resurrection of heroes and remembrance of victims. This vivid and engaging introduction thus reveals Berlin’s startling transformations and contested legacies through ten moments from critical points in its multi-layered history.
About the Author
Mary Fulbrook, FBA, is Professor of German History at University College London. Her previous publications include the Wolfson Prizewinning Reckonings: Legacies of Nazi Persecution and the Quest for Justice (2018) and the Fraenkel Prize-winning A Small Town near Auschwitz: Ordinary Nazis and the Holocaust (2012). Her mother fled Berlin in the 1930s, and Fulbrook has long been fascinated by the city.
Advance praise
‘A gripping historical biography of Berlin from one of our great scholars of German history. Mary Fulbrook magnificently evokes the unmistakable yet stubbornly enigmatic spirit of this protean city, with its epic contradictions and endless powers of self-invention.’

Bruno Maçães, Flint Global
World Builders
Technology and the New Geopolitics
Politics
About
World politics has changed, claims Bruno Maçães. Geopolitics is no longer simply a contest to control territory: in this age of advanced technology, it has become a contest to create the territory. Great powers seek to build a world for other states to inhabit, while keeping the ability to change the rules or the state of the world when necessary. At a moment when the old concepts no longer work, this book aims to introduce a radically new theory of world politics and technology. Understood as ‘world building’, the most important events of our troubled times suddenly appear connected and their inner logic is revealed: technology wars between China and the United States, the pandemic, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the energy transition. To conclude, Maçães considers the more distant future, when the metaverse and artificial intelligence become the world, a world the great powers must struggle to build and control.
Key Features
• Identifies the full implications of technology for global politics
• Interprets the contemporary world through discussions of major global challenges including tech wars, the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and climate change
• An exciting and accessible writing style
About the Author
Bruno Maçães is a Senior Advisor at Flint Global, where he advises some of the world’s leading companies on geopolitics and technology, as well as a columnist for the New Statesman.

Living with Jane Austen
About
Fanny Price, in Mansfield Park, tells her persistent suitor that ‘we have all a better guide in ourselves...than any other person can be’. Sometimes, however, we crave external guidance: and when this happens we could do worse than seek it in Jane Austen’s own subtle novels. Written to coincide with Austen’s 250th birthday, this approachable and intimate work shows why and how - for over half a century - Austen has inspired and challenged its author through different phases of her life. Part personal memoir, part expert interaction with all the letters, manuscripts and published novels, Janet Todd’s book reveals what living with Jane Austen has meant to her and what it might also mean to others. Todd celebrates the undimmable power of Austen’s work to help us understand our own bodies and our environment, and teach us about patience, humour, beauty and the meaning of home.
About the Author
Janet Todd has been thinking and writing about books for more than half a century. She has been a biographer, novelist, critic, editor and memoirist. In the 1970s, she helped open up the study of early women writers by beginning a journal and compiling encyclopedias before editing the complete works of Mary Wollstonecraft, Aphra Behn and Jane Austen.
Advance praise
‘Intimate, knowledgeable and frequently unexpected, this is a book for all Jane Austen’s readers by one of the very best of those readers.’ Richard Cronin, Emeritus Professor of English Literature, University of Glasgow
‘Sharing a mind is as exciting as sharing a bed. In this gentle, witty, semimemoir, Janet Todd reveals her eccentric encounters with books and shows us why the novels of Jane Austen should matter to all of us now.’ Miriam Margolyes

L. Carruthers, University of Warwick
Key Features
• Provides an intimate and textured account of the aftermath of WWII in the UK and the British empire through focusing on what people wore

• Draws on extensive original research ranging from personal diaries and memoirs to Mass Observation responses and declassified official records from the UK, US and UN
Making Do
Britons and the Refashioning of the Postwar World
British and Irish history
About
Imagine a world in which clothing wasn’t superabundant – cheap, disposable, indestructible – but perishable, threadbare and chronically scarce. Eighty years ago, when World War II ended, a textile famine loomed. What would everyone wear as uniforms were discarded and soldiers returned home, Nazi camps were liberated, and millions of uprooted people struggled to subsist? In this richly textured history, Carruthers unpicks a familiar wartime motto, ‘Make Do and Mend’, to reveal how central fabric was to postwar Britain. Clothes and footwear supplied a currency with which some were rewarded, while others went without. Making Do moves from Britain’s demob centres to liberated Belsen – from razed German cities to refugee camps and troopships –to uncover intimate ties between Britons and others bound together in new patterns of mutual need. Filled with original research and personal stories, Making Do illuminates how lives were refashioned after the most devastating war in human history.
About the Author
Susan L. Carruthers is Professor of US and International History at the University of Warwick. Much of her work focuses on war and the ways in which individuals, and societies more broadly, have made sense of conflict and its aftermath. She is the author of six previous books, including Dear John: Love and Loyalty in Wartime America (Cambridge University Press, 2022) and The Good Occupation: American Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace (2016).
Advance praise
‘This is a necessary inoculation for anyone prone to nostalgia. Making Do is proof that clothing is always a reflection of the human conditionespecially when those conditions are dire. Carruthers deftly brings the historic significance of wartime down to the human level, with entertaining interludes and well-researched stories that will make you question your own relationship to your garments.’ Avery Trufelman, host and producer of Articles of Interest

This ground-breaking book assembles all of Shakespeare’s sonnets in their probable order of composition.
