    This book offers readers new tools to understand how the music of J. S. Bach has been received by later generations. It focuses on the organ works, allowing readers to understand him as both composer and performer. The later generations here have championed the music in various ways: they performed it, edited it for publication, and shared it with their family and friends. This book thus is a history of performance practice, an aesthetic history of musical taste, and a social history.

    Kings in All but Name illustrates how Japan was an ethnically diverse state from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries, closely bound by trading ties to Korea and China. It reveals new archaeological and textual evidence proving that East Asia had integrated trading networks long before the arrival of European explorers and shows how mining techniques improved and propelled East Asian trade. The story of the Ouchi rulers contradicts the belief that this was a period of warfare and turmoil in Japan, and instead, proves that this was a stable and prosperous trading state where rituals, policies, politics, and economics were interwoven and diverse.

    Written by a leading authority on supply chain management, The Nature of Supply Networks synthesizes decades of research to understand supply networks as a complex adaptive system. Incorporating network concepts and theories, Thomas Y. Choi describes the basic structural elements of supply networks and their organization, and examines the dynamic and evolutionary patterns of supply networks. Choi then considers a host of specific issues--control vs. emergence, nexus suppliers, and cyber security--as well as how supply networks will evolve with increased disruptions from extreme weather patterns, trade wars, and other unforeseen events.

  • by David Jacobson
    £65.49

    Why does citizenship emerge, historically, and why does it maintain traction, even if in compromised forms? How can citizenship and democracy be revived? Learning from history and building on emerging social and political developments, David Jacobson and Manlio Cinalli provide the foundations for citizenship's third revolution. They consider three historical periods for citizenship and reveal the underlying principles of citizenship--and its radical promise. Jacobson and Cinalli demonstrate how the effective functioning of citizenship depends on human connections that are relational and non-contractual, illustrate how rights can undermine as well as reinforce civic society, and document the emerging foundations of a "21st century guild" as a basis for repairing our democracies.

    Big data is radically reshaping the modern battlefield.

  • by Chris Haufe
    £25.49

    In this book, Chris Haufe examines the idea of fruitfulness - the generative power that some ideas possess in abundance - in the context of science. He examines questions such as, what makes some ideas especially fruitful? How do practitioners in mathematics and the natural sciences reliably select particularly fruitful conveyances for their investigations? And how does each of these questions bear on the power of rational inquiry?

    Donation-based crowdfunding is an increasingly common and visible practice where campaigners ask friends, family, and even complete strangers for help. It isn't unusual to see these campaigns in the news and on social media following a tragedy or disaster and they have helped millions of people. However, crowdfunding also creates serious ethical and political problems, including undermining privacy, worsening social inequities and injustices, and encouraging fraud and misinformation. This book presents these concerns in the context of more traditional giving practices. It ends with values to guide crowdfunding and suggestions for how to engage in crowdfunding in less problematic ways.

  • by Thomas Fossen
    £60.49

    Political protest is often at least partially about the question of legitimacy. How can we distinguish whether a regime is legitimate, or merely purports to be so? In Facing Authority, Thomas Fossen develops a new philosophical approach to political legitimacy, interweaving analyses of key concepts (including representation, identity, and temporality) with examples of real-life struggles for legitimacy, from the German Autumn to the Arab Spring. Instead of asking "what makes authorities legitimate?" in the abstract, Fossen investigates how the question of legitimacy manifests itself in practice. The result is a pragmatist alternative to predominant moralist and realist approaches to legitimacy in political philosophy.

    The Face of the Nation studies women's leadership and gender relations across some of the worst performing and most male-dominated spheres of state--international affairs. Exploring the stories from almost 80 global women leaders, as well as institutional histories and policies across diplomacy, defense, national security, policing, and intelligence, this book seeks to understand why women remain under-represented on the global stage, despite many changing social and policy norms. Using Australia as a leading case study, the book extends theories on gender and international institutions to understand the gendered, racialized, and heteronormative structures that continue to limit and impact on diverse women's leadership and participation internationally.

  • by Luara Ferracioli
    £60.49

    In this book, Luara Ferracioli defends a new theory of the moral right to parent by focusing on the special role of parents in creating the conditions for the flourishing of their children irrespective of whether there is a biological connection between them, and by explaining why the parent-child relationship remains valuable even after the child reaches the age of majority. Ferracioli argues that justice towards children requires that the liberal state make adoption more desirable and feasible for its citizens. The book provides a partial theory of childrearing which focuses on the goods of childhood that parents are primarily responsible for fostering: carefreeness, enjoyment-driven or curiosity-driven achievement, and friendship.
