25 March 2020 Environment and Sustainability

World leaders have agreed to limit rises in global temperatures, yet climate issues scarcely trouble domestic policies. Implementing climate solutions successfully through the democratic process requires a radical political shift and an overhaul of the laws and systems that govern our society.

Drawing on interviews with politicians and activists, this book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of international climate policies to examine how we can build impactful democratic solutions to climate change. The author confronts the difficulties of fitting the climate change agenda into the current political system, including how to make it a voter priority, while proposing practical ways forward for climate change politics.

Rebecca Willis is Professor in Practice at Lancaster University. Her research explores political strategies for climate action. She is a trustee of the New Economics Foundation and an associate of Green Alliance.

The Shame GameOverturning the Toxic Poverty NarrativeMary O’HaraPB: 9781447349266 £12.99 232 pages

27 February 2020 Social and Public Policy What does it mean to be poor in Britain and America? For decades the primary narrative about poverty in both countries is that it has been caused by personal flaws or ‘bad life decisions’ rather than policy choices or economic inequality. This misleading account has become deeply embedded in the public consciousness with serious ramifications for how financially vulnerable people are seen, spoken about and treated.Drawing on a two-year multi-platform initiative, this book by award-winning journalist and author Mary O’Hara, asks how we can overturn this portrayal once and for all. Crucially, she turns to the real experts to try to find answers – the people who live it.

Mary O’Hara is an award-winning journalist and author specialising in social policy and social justice. She was named International Columnist of the Year in 2017 and 2018 by the Los Angeles Press Club Southern California Journalism Awards for her Guardian column, Lesson From America. She is also an executive producer on the podcast Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness and founder of the anti-poverty initiative, Project Twist-It.

Race, Taste, Class and CarsCulture, Meaning and IdentityYunis AlamPB: 9781447353478 £14.99 184 pages

29 July 2020 Sociology

In subtle and complex ways, cars transmit and modify our identities behind the wheel. As a symbol of independence and freedom, the car projects status, class, taste and, significantly, embeds racialisation. Using fascinating research from drivers, including first-person accounts, as well as exploring hip-hop music and car-related TV shows, Alam unpicks the ways in which our identity is enhanced and driven.

Yunis Alam is a sociologist, working at the University of Bradford. His research interests span ethnic relations, popular culture, ethnography and postcolonial literatures. He has also published a number of novels and short stories.

DeceptionRussiagate and the New Cold WarRichard SakwaPB: 9781447357599 £19.99 256 pages

1 December 2020 Politics and International Relations

The ‘Russiagate’ affair is one of the most far-reaching political events of recent years. But what exactly was the nature and extent of Russian interference in the campaign that led to the presidency of Donald J. Trump?

Richard Sakwa sets out the dramatic series of events that combined to create Russiagate and examines whether together they form a persuasive account of Russian interference. His authoritative analysis challenges the dominant narrative of overblown claims of Russian interference and collusion.

Richard Sakwa is Professor of Russian and European Politics at the University of Kent, an Associate Fellow of Chatham House and a member of the Academy of Social Sciences. A highly respected scholar of contemporary Russia, he held lectureships at the Universities of Essex and California, Santa Cruz, before joining the University of Kent in 1987 and has published widely on Soviet, Russian and European affairs.
