By Willem Middelkoop

The Big Reset (revised edition)

War on Gold and the Financial Endgame

Amid the turmoil in the Eurozone, economic problems in Russia, stagnation in Japan, and rumblings that China may slip into recession, the one reliable asset is the American dollar. While it may encounter ups and downs, investors for decades have been confident that it will never lose a substantial part of its value. That may be about to change. In The Big Reset, Willem Middelkoop lays out the case for an inevitable monetary reset, one that will be designed to keep the United States in the driver’s seat, but will include strong roles for the Euro and China’s Renminbi—and, crucially, gold. This fully revised edition of Middelkoop’s book takes into account developments since its original publication, which have only strengthened the case for the coming return of gold.

Willem Middelkoop is a journalist covering finance

and economics and the founder of the Commodity

Discovery Fund.

Edited by Cees W. de Jong and Patrick Spijkerman

RijksmuseumThe Building, the Collection and the Outdoor Gallery

Few art collections in the world can rival that of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Built in 1885, the iconic museum holds more than a million works, with a particular focus on Dutch masters—its collection of works by Van Gogh, Vermeer, and Rembrandt are unparalleled. The museum recently reopened after a ten-year renovation that cost more than $400 million, and the result is stunning: never before has the Rijksmuseum’s collection been displayed so well. This book offers a lavishly illustrated chronicle of both the collection and the building that houses it. Though nothing can replace an actual trip to the Rijksmuseum—as the more than two million annual visitors can attest—this book comes as close as possible, taking art lovers on a virtual tour of the greatest masterworks of Western art in a building that is brilliantly designed to show them at their best.

Cees W. de Jong and Patrick Spijkerman are authors and

editors of a number of books on architecture.

Pandemic Disease in the Medieval World

Rethinking the Black Death

It was only in 2011, thanks to ancient DNA recovered from remains unearthed in London’s East Smithfield cemetery, that the full genome of the plague pathogen was identif ied. This ground-breaking book brings together scholars from the humanities and social and physical sciences to address the question of how recent work in genetics, zoology, and epidemiology can enable a rethinking of the Black Death's global reach and its larger historical signif icance. It is published by Arc Medieval Press, the publishing arm of the CARMEN Worldwide Medieval Network.

Nicholas of Lyra Literal Commentary on GalatiansNicholas of Lyra lived in an era of political turbulence and spiritual conflict, when the papacy was in Avignon and the Franciscans were clashing with the more radical and strict "Spirituals." Nicholas's commen-tary on St. Paul's letter to the Galatians aims to restore a f irm understanding of the literal meaning of the text, looking at the innate internal meaning, stressing that we must keep in mind what St. Paul most directly intended to be understood. This edition will facilitate further research in the influence of Nicholas’s Postilla on later works and authors, including Martin Luther.

John Hardyng, ChronicleEdited from British Library MS Lansdowne 204, Volume 1

As one of only a handful of texts written in the twilight years of Henry VI's reign, John Hardyng's f irst Chronicle offers a compelling insight into the taste, hopes, and anxieties of a late f ifteenth-century gentleman who had witnessed, and all too often participated in, each of the key events that def ined his era. Hardyng's interest in Britain's past is typical of the gentry's enthusiasm for historical works, while his concern with war and duty reflects the importance of such matters to men of his rank.

Accessus ad auctoresMedieval Introductions to the Authors (Codex latinus monacensis 19475)

Medieval commentaries typically included an accessus, a standardized introduction to an author or book. In the twelfth century these introduc-tions were anthologised, referred to now as Accessus ad auctores. They served as the f irst handbooks of literary criticism. The earliest and most comprehensive example, Clm 19475 in Munich, is presented here for

The Serious GameIngmar Bergman as Stage Director

Though Ingmar Bergman became famous as a f ilmmaker, his roots—and, to some extent, his heart—were in the theatre. He directed more than one hundred plays in his career, and The Serious Game takes a close look at fourteen productions he staged at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. Looking closely at the relationship between the verbal and the visual, this book gives even longtime Bergman fans a new understanding of his sensitivity to nuance, his versatility, and his dedication to craftsmanship.

A Revolution for the ScreenAbel Gance's Napoleon

Abel Gance’s silent masterpiece, Napoleon, was given a limited run on its debut in 1927, but soon afterwards distributors in France and America, unwilling to deal with its nine-hour running time, subjected it to savage cuts – with devastating results for the movie and for f ilm history. The struggle across ensuing decades to restore and reintegrate Gance’s f ilm has formed a backdrop to an array of formal, contextual, and ideological battles. In this book, Paul Cuff takes

account of those battles and challenges received opinion on Gance’s view of both his f ilm and its subject.

This book brings together two major f ilmmakers—French New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard and German avant-gardist Harun Farocki—to explore the fundamental tension between theoretical abstraction and the capacities of f ilm itself, a medium where everything seen onscreen is necessarily concrete. Volker Pantenburg shows how these two f ilmmakers explored the potential of combined shots and montage to create “f ilm as theory.”

Digital Passages: Migrant Youth 2.0

Diaspora, Gender and Youth Cultural Intersections

Increasingly, young people live online, with the vast majority of their social and cultural interactions conducted through means other than face-to-face conversation. How does this transition impact the ways in which young migrants understand, negotiate, and perform identity? That’s the question taken up by Digital Passages: Migrant Youth 2.0, a ground-breaking analysis of the ways that youth culture online interacts with issues of diaspora, gender,

and belonging. Drawing on surveys, in-depth interviews, and ethnography, Koen Leurs builds an interdisciplinary portrait of online youth culture and the spaces it opens up for migrant youth to negotiate power relations and to promote intercultural understanding.

The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry

Naturalistic inquiry is about studying people in everyday circumstances using ordinary means. It strives to blend in – respecting people in their daily lives, taking their actions and experiences seriously while not interfering — in order to come to theoretical understanding. This textbook offers guidance, combin-ing thoughtful reflection with practical tips. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students in social science; for practitioners in social work, healthcare, policy advice, and organisational consultancy; and for all who have a genuine interest in society and its members.

Everywhere TaksimSowing the Seeds for a New Turkey at Gezi

In May 2013, a small group of protesters made camp in Istanbul’s Taksim Square, protesting the privatisation of what had long been a vibrant public space. When the police responded to the demonstration with brutality, the protests exploded in size and force, quickly becoming a massive statement of opposition to the Turkish regime. This book assembles a collection of f ield research, data, theoretical analyses, and cross-country comparisons to show the signif icance of the protests both within Turkey and throughout the world.

From Padi States to Commercial StatesReflections on Identity and the Social Construction Space in the Borderlands of Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar

“Zomia” is a term coined in 2002 to describe the broad swath of mountainous land in Southeast Asia that has always been beyond the reach of lowland governments despite their technical claims to control. This book expands the anthropological reach of that term, applying it to any deterritorialised people, from cast-out migrants to modern resisters—in the process f inding new ways to understand the realities of peoples and ethnicities that refuse to become part of the modern state.

Asian Cities: Colonial to GlobalWhen people look at success stories among postcolonial nations, the focus almost always turns to Asia, where many cities in former colonies have become key locations of international commerce and culture. This book brings together a stellar group of scholars from a number of disciplines to explore the rise of Asian cities, including Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong, and more.

Dealing with history, geography, culture, architecture, urbanism, and other topics, the book attempts to formulate a new understanding of what makes Asian cities such global leaders.

Mobilizing Labour for the Global Coffee MarketProfits From an Unfree Work Regime in Colonial Java

Coffee has been grown on Java for the commercial market since the early eighteenth century, when the Dutch East India Company began buying from peasant producers in the Priangan highlands. What began as a commercial transaction, however, soon became a system of compulsory production. This book shows how the Dutch East India Company mobilised land and labour, why they turned to force cultivation, and what effects the brutal system they installed had on the economy and society.
