The Curse of CashKENNETH ROGOFF • Ken Rogoff is one of the world’s leading

economists. • This book advances a controversial idea: that

we should get rid of paper money, because it primarily benefits corruption and crime, and it hobbles central banks’ ability to respond to financial crises.

• Most books dealing with the end of cash are either by digital evangelists or journalists.

• This will be the first book on the topic by a major economist.Kenneth Rogoff’s previous book for Princeton - This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly (9780691152646) - had combined hardback/paperback sales of over 1400 copies locally.

ARCHAEOLOGYThe Fifth Beginning: What Six Million Years of Human History Can Tell Us about Our FutureROBERT L KELLY“I have seen yesterday. I know tomorrow.” This inscription in Tutankhamen’s tomb summarizes The Fifth Beginning. Here, archeologist Robert Kelly explains how the study of our cultural past can predict the future of humanity. In an eminently readable style, Kelly singles out four key pivot points in the six million year history of human development: the emergence of technology, culture, agriculture, and the state. In each example the author examines the long-term processes that resulted in a definitive no-turning-back change for the organization of society. Kelly then looks ahead, giving us evidence for what he calls a fifth beginning, one that began about AD 1500. Some might call it “globalization”, but the author places it in its larger context: a 5,000-year arms race, capitalism’s global reach, and the cultural effects of a worldwide communication network.

Beyond CaravaggioLETIZIA TREVESThe Italian painter known as Caravaggio (1571-1610) claims a place among the most revolutionary figures in the history of art. His intense naturalism, almost brutal realism, and dramatic use of light had a wide impact on European painters, including Orazio Gentileschi, Valentin de Boulogne, and Gerrit van Honthorst. Each of Caravaggio’s followers absorbed something different from his work, propagating his stylistic legacy across Europe. In this extensively illustrated catalogue, Letizia Treves introduces the international Caravaggesque movement and traces the distinct artistic personalities of its leading players. 100 color illustrations.

Herndon’s Lincoln (New in Paperback)WILLIAM HERNDON AND JESSIE WEIKWilliam H. Herndon aspired to write a faithful portrait of his friend and law partner, Abraham Lincoln, based on his own observations and on hundreds of letters and interviews he had compiled for the purpose. Even more important, he was determined to present Lincoln as a man, rather than a saint, and to reveal things that the prevailing Victorian conventions said should be left out of the biography of a great national hero. A variety of obstacles kept Herndon from writing his book, however, and not until he found a collaborator in Jesse W. Weik did the biography begin to take shape. It finally appeared in 1889, to decidedly mixed reviews. Though controversial from the outset, Herndon’s Lincoln nonetheless established itself as a classic, and remains, as Don E. Fehrenbacher declared, “the most influential biography of Lincoln ever published.” 21 black and white photographs.Part of The Knox College Lincoln Studies Center series.

Too Fast to Think: How to Reclaim Your Creativity in a Hyper-connected Work CultureCHRIS LEWIS Too Fast to Think exposes our current work practices and explores how they are detrimental to innovation. The speed and noise of modern life is undermining the clarity and quiet that is essential to power individual thought. Our best ideas are often generated when we are free to think diffusely, in an uninterrupted environment, which is why moments of inspiration so often occur in places completely separate to our offices. To reclaim creativity, Too Fast to Think teaches you how to retrain your brain into allowing creative ideas to emerge, before they are shut down by interruption, distraction or the self-doubt of your over-rational brain.

COMMUNICATION AND MEDIAInteractive Journalism: Hackers, Data, and CodeNIKKI USHEREmerging out of changes in technology, culture, and economics, interactive journalism is a visual presentation of storytelling that allows users to interact with the reporting of information. Today it stands at a nexus: part of the traditional newsroom, yet novel enough to contribute innovative practices and thinking to the industry. Nikki Usher’s comprehensive portrait of this new journalistic identity examines the impact of digital technology on reporting, photojournalism, graphics, and the other disciplines that define interactive journalism. Her eyewitness study ranges from the interactive creation of Al Jazeera English to the celebrated data desk at the Guardian to the New York Times’ Pulitzer-endowed efforts in the new field. What emerges is a richly reported profile of the people coding a revolution that may reverse the decline and fall of traditional journalism.

HEALTHPeripheral Neuropathy: What It Is and What You Can Do to Feel Better JANICE WIESMANPeripheral neuropathy, or nerve damage, is caused by such conditions as diabetes, cancer, vitamin deficiencies, and kidney disease as well as certain drugs and toxins. Neuropathy brings numbness, tingling, and burning in the feet, legs, and fingertips. Neuropathy can be more than uncomfortable—it can be disabling: people whose fingertips are numb may find it hard to button clothing and complete other everyday tasks. Neuropathy is often dangerous, as well: people who cannot feel their feet are more likely to stumble and fall, and they may not notice injuries that need medical attention. In this book Dr. Janice F. Wiesman, a neurologist with twenty years of experience helping people who have neuropathy find relief, shares her special insights into this painful and debilitating condition.

The Reluctant Meister: How Germany’s Past is Shaping Its European Future (New in Paperback)STEPHEN GREENThe Reluctant Meister is a wide-ranging study of Germany from the Holy Roman Empire through the Second and Third Reichs, and it asks not only how such a mature and developed culture could have descended into the barbarism of Nazism but how it then rebuilt itself within a generation to become an economic powerhouse. Perhaps most important, Stephen Green examines to what extent Germany will come to dominate its relationship with its neighbors in the European Union, and what that will mean.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIESRadicalized: The New Generation of Jihadis and the Threat to the WestPETER NEUMANNThe attacks in Paris in January and November 2015 heralded the beginning of a new wave of terrorism – one rooted in the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq. As ISIS seeks to expand its reach in the Middle East, its territory serves as a base for training and operations for a new generation of jihadis. Thousands of young people from the West, primarily from Europe, have travelled to join ISIS, re-emerging as hardened fighters with military training and a network of international contacts. Many of these have now returned to their homelands, where it is feared they are planning a new series of brutal attacks. Based on interviews and previously-unseen material, Neumann provides an essential introduction to one of the greatest crises of our time.

RELIGIONHospitality and Islam: Welcoming in God’s Name (New in Paperback)MONA SIDDIQUIConsidering its prominent role in many faith traditions, surprisingly little has been written about hospitality within the context of religion, particularly Islam. In her new book, Mona Siddiqui, a well-known media commentator, makes the first major contribution to the understanding of hospitality both within Islam and beyond. She explores and compares teachings within the various Muslim traditions over the centuries, while also drawing on materials as diverse as Islamic belles lettres, Christian reflections on almsgiving and charity, and Islamic and Western feminist writings on gender issues. Applying a more theological approach to the idea of mercy as a fundamental basis for human relationships, this book will appeal to a wide audience, particularly readers interested in Islam, ethics, and religious studies.

Old Puglia: A Cultural Companion to South- Eastern Italy (New in Paperback)DESMOND SEWARD AND SUSAN MOUNTGARRETApulia (or Puglia) is the heel of Italy, stretching down from the spur of the Italian boot. Its landscape is often very beautiful and it has wonderful old cities with Romanesque cathedrals, Gothic castles and a great wealth of Baroque architecture, together with ‘rupestrian’ churches that contain Byzantine frescoes. But, although far from inaccessible, until quite recently it was seldom visited by Anglo Saxons. Today, however, Apulia is becoming fashionable. Yet almost nothing about the region has been published in English since the days of Norman Douglas and the Sitwells. One can find ‘holiday histories’ of Tuscany, but there is no popular introduction to Apulian history, not even in Italian. This book has been written to fill the gap by providing a simple, readable account.Part of the Armchair Traveller series.

Companion Plants and How to Use ThemHELEN PHILBRICK AND RICHARD GREGGIt has long been observed, by farmers, gardeners and botanists alike, that some plants seem to affect other plants growing near them – both favourably and unfavourably.

Years of experimentation by Richard Gregg and subsequently Helen Philbrick and others resulted in this unique reference book. It offers a detailed and comprehensive A-Z of plants and how they affect each other and their surrounding environment, including the soil, insects and birds.
