Walrus explores the intriguing and affecting history of an animal that remains on the frontline of contemporary conservation debates. Commercial walrus hunting was banned in the 1930s, and today only subsistence hunting is permitted, yet the mammal still faces an uncertain future. Shrinking pack-ice caused by global warming is causing serious problems for walrus herds, while the exploitation of arctic oil and gas resources puts further pressure on the animals. This important book combines natural, cultural and environmental histories to offer a refreshing and wonderfully illustrated account of the much-loved mammal. Walrus foregrounds the ethical dilemmas they embody, such as the continuing and intensifying conflict between the developed world and indigenous interests, and the impact of global warming on arctic animals. -- Publisher's website.

"Mike Kelley's Educational Complex (1995) presents forgotten spaces as subjective frames for trauma, real or imagined. A "complex" can be an architectural configuration, a psychological syndrome or a political apparatus. In this book, John Miller approaches Educational Complex through corresponding lines of enquiry, considering the representation of Kelley's schools (and his childhood home) as architectural models; popular fantasies associated with false memory syndrome; and the liberal democratic premises underpinning education"-

Stephen Nathanson's clear-sighted abridgment of Principles of Political Economy, Mill's first major work in moral and political philosophy, provides a challenging, sometimes surprising account of Mill's views on many important topics: socialism, population, the status of women, the cultural bases of economic productivity, the causes and possible cures of poverty, the nature of property rights, taxation, and the legitimate functions of government. Nathanson cuts through the dated and less relevant sections of this large work and includes significant material omitted in other editions, making it possible to see the connections between the views Mill expressed in Principles of Political Economy and the ideas he defended in his later works, particularly On Liberty. Indeed, studying Principles of Political Economy, Nathanson argues in his general Introduction, can help to resolve the apparent contradiction between Mill's views in On Liberty and those in Utilitarianism, making it a key text for understanding Mill’s philosophy as a whole.

Prague is a city outside of time. This concentric metropolis mixes the ancient, the merely old, and the modern in a most enigmatic and luminous way. In Prague, the selection of excerpts, essays, and poems perfectly captures this juxtaposition - baroque churches with twenty-five cents beer, gas lamps with neon, Kafka's Castle with cement skyscrapers - in the writing of eleven international authors. This wide-ranging anthology collects unexpected pieces, such as Bruce Chatwin on dwarf and porcelain collecting and Janet Malcolm on a surreal night in modern Prague, as well as the work of Vaclav Havel and Josef Skvorecky, writing about the former Czechoslovakia with candor and humor. Patricia Hampl provides a patchwork look from an overseas admirer, while transplanted Englishwoman Rosemary Kavan writes about her life in Communist Czechoslovakia in the late '40s and early '50s. Each facet of this prismatic city is illuminated and revealed in this richly textured anthology.contentsArticle 202 / Vaclav Havel --The castle / Franz Kafka --Utz / Bruce Chatwin --The house of Doctor Faust / Alois Jirasek --Bohemia / Ingeborg Bachmann --Pirates / Josef Skvorecky --A night in Prague / Janet Malcolm --The good soldier S[c]hweik / Jaroslav Hasek --Freedom at a price / Rosemary Kavan --The book of laughter and forgetting / Milan Kundera.
