Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders and the Rise of Social Engineering
by Malcolm GladwellTwenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing lightWhat does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do elite universities care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the world's most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwell's most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of the modern world. It's time we took tipping points seriously.

Sure, her single mother never checks in, but she has her strings ensemble, the Rosalind Quartet, and her life in New York is a dream come true. As the holidays draw near, her ensemble mate Sloane persuades Charlotte and the rest of the quartet to spend Christmas with her family in Colorado - it is much cozier and quieter than Manhattan, and it would guarantee more practice time for the quartet's upcoming tour. But when Charlotte arrives, she discovers that Sloane's sister Adele also brought a friend home - and that friend is none other than her ex, Brighton. All Brighton Fairbrook wanted was to have the holliest, jolliest Christmas - and try to forget that her band kicked her out. But instead, she's stuck pretending like she and her ex are strangers - which proves to be difficult when Sloane and Adele's mom signs them all up for a series of Christmas dating events. Charlotte and Brighton are soon entrenched in horseback riding and cookie decorating, but Charlotte still won't talk to her. Brighton can hardly blame her after what she did. After a few days, however, things start to slip through. Memories. Music. The way they used to play together - Brighton on guitar, Charlotte on her violin - and it all feels painfully familiar.

The Irish Convention: 1917-18 (Routledge Revivals)
by R. B. McDowellAlthough largely regarded as a failure, the Irish Convention of 1917, might, had it been successful, have resulted in a totally different Ireland to the one which has emerged. It was an attempt to solve the apparently intractable Irish Question. This book, originally published in 1970, describes the debates which took place. These debates provide an anthology of Irish political thinking, and the committee proceedings offer interesting examples of negotiating techniques, Lloyd George intervening with consummate skill. The author concludes that the Convention may be dismissed as a failure, but that its work formed a stage in the evolution of the Irish settlement of the early 1920s.
States of Mind: Two Centuries of Anglo-Irish Conflict, 1780-1980 (Routledge Revivals)
by Oliver MacDonaghOriginally published in 1983 and slightly revised in 1985, joint winner of the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize, States of Mind is an exploration f the ideas underlying Anglo-Irish conflict over the past two centuries. This is a book about nationalism and colonialism and above all about political ideology. The ideology is popular, to be inferred from behaviour rather than found in treatises. Often it was, and is, expressed in images and slogans. The resultant cross-purposes and double meanings, ambiguity and dualism are characteristic of cultural collision and accommodation generally. This book throws light upon a very wide range of modern history, and not just upon the relations of one particular metropolitan power and its dependency. The definition and treatment of the subject, as well as the conclusions, are strikingly novel.
J. G. Farrell (Routledge Revivals)
by Ronald BinnsWhen it was originally published in 1986, this book was the first full-length study of Farrell’s fiction. Ronald Binns provides a comprehensive account of the development of this idiosyncratic Anglo-Irish novelist’s career. Farrell’s Empire trilogy was one of the most ambitious literary projects of the 20th Century and Binns examines in detail its component parts – Troubles, The Siege of Krishnapur and The Singapore Grip – showing their structural links and discussing Farrell’s use both of historical materials and of parody, pastiche and symbol in his ironic vision of the end of the empire.
The Inspector General: Sir Jeremiah Fitzpatrick and Social Reform, 1783-1802 (Routledge Revivals)
by Oliver MacDonaghSir Jeremiah Fitzpatrick (c.1740-1810) was the first inspector general of prisons and lunacy inspector in Ireland and the first and only inspector of health to HM land forces in Great Britain. He also inspected convict vessels bound for New South Wales and the East India Company‘s troop ships, inquired into the Irish Charter Schools and attempted to alleviate the miseries of soldiers’ dependents. His further ambitions ranged from a poor law for Ireland to a reorganisation of Dublin’s police, to the regulation of noxious trades, from slave trade inspectorates to hospital management. He was therefore in many ways a precursor of the titans of early and mid-Victorian government. Originally published in 1981, much of the interest of the book lies in its revelation of late eighteenth century anticipations of mid-nineteenth century government. It also explores the differences between the two forms of administration and the reasons for the divergences and discontinuities.
Crossing the Floor (Routledge Revivals)
by Humphry BerkeleyOriginally published in 1972, this book is an account of the events which led Humphry Berkeley to join the Labour Party after seven years a Conservative Member of Parliament and twenty years as a member of the Conservative Party. Starting with his own political origins he shows the consistency of his internationalist and humanitarian philosophy against the background of the issues with which he was most concerned: abroad – Africa, the Commonwealth, the United Nations; at home – immigration, race, social reform. During his political career the author came into close contact with may of the leading figures of British politics and the book devotes chapters to a personal view of Macmillan, Butler, Macleod, Heath and Wilson. The book gives a vivid picture of UK political life in the 20th Century and illustrates the character of each of the 2 main Parties, showing also the conflicts facing a politician fighting to retain both his persona integrity and the means to play a leading role in Party politics.

The Myth That Will Not Die: The Formation of the National Government 1931 (Routledge Revivals)
by Humphry BerkeleyNo figure in the Labour movement has attracted such extremes of emotion as has James Ramsay MacDonald. Loved and almost worshipped for more than 30 years, his formation of the National Government in August 1931 incurred hatred, bitterness and contempt from those whom he had led for so long. MacDonald’s career and the admiration and odium which it engendered is without parallel in British politics. Originally published in 1978, this book provides an answer to the charge that MacDonald deliberately betrayed the Labour movement by forming a coalition government with the Conservative and Liberal Parties. It examines the criticism that he ruthlessly proceeded to destroy the Labour Party in the General Election of October 1931 – an election which he pledged, only two months earlier, would not be held. Using the private papers and authorised (auto)biographies, and the Cabinet minutes of the day, this book reconstructs what really happened between August 1 and 24 1931, and accounts for the mercilessness with which he is remembered by the Labour Party.

Malcolm Lowry (Routledge Revivals)
by Ronald BinnsMalcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano is now recognized as one of the major novels of the 20th Century, whose breadth and experimental prose have influenced a wide range of contemporary writers. This study, originally published in 1984, considers the significance of the autobiographical elements in Lowry’s writing, in the context of his developing concern with fictionality and the romantic sensibility. It gives special attention to his exotic many-sided masterpiece and discusses the ways in which the narrative’s reflexive games-playing elements affect the representation of character, history, myth and magic. It surveys Lowry’s late experimental novels and stories and considers how their metafictional aspects anticipate some key interests of contemporary writing.

More Rules of Radiology
by Paul McCoubrieBased on the social media success of my series of articles around ‘The Rules of Radiology’ this follows on from the first volume (‘The Rules of Radiology’), published in 2021. ‘More Rules of Radiology’ is the second and final volume that contains Rules 51-100. The Rules provide a guide to what radiology is and what radiologists do. Or rather what radiology should be and what radiologists should do. This book and its prior sister volume looks hard not just at radiology but also provides a distinctly wry look at the curious and occasionally alien world of hospital-based medical practice. I ask questions and poke fun but it is serious intent. My motto is ‘first make you laugh, then make you think’. Or, as George Bernard Shaw wrote, “My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity”. Each of the Rules addresses an important part of professional practice. I analyse the underpinning concepts of modern radiology, critically reflect on underlying assumptions, pose thoughtful questions and provide measured debate. All sprinkled with a mixture of weak jokes, puns and gratuitous word play. As a relatively young but rapidly expanding specialty, there has been no guide for radiologists, no moral compass. Until now. I provide opinions and guidance on key matters; sometimes controversial but always reasoned. The hope is to provide the reader with much food for thought. Not only that but this volume and its predecessor aim to provide a manifesto for radiologists across the globe to raise their game and serve their patients better.
The Learning and Teaching of Phonological Decoding in Chinese EFL Children
by Keren HuaThis book presents the learning and teaching of phonological decoding in Chinese EFL primary classrooms. The phonological decoding ability of the children is described, interpreted, and evaluated, the teaching materials are analyzed and the classroom instruction observed, and the links between these various facets are explored using both quantitative and qualitative techniques (textbook analysis, classroom observations, interviews with teachers and a textbook writer, reading test and nonword reading test). This book provides insights into Chinese children’s phonological decoding profile, including performance in decoding different types of orthographic units, the strategies children at different levels of reading ability use to sound out vowel graphemes, and their decoding ability in relation to reading ability. The investigation of the teaching practices reveals how the decoding instruction is designed, developed, and delivered to the children and thereby informs the interplay between the classroom instruction and children’s development of phonological decoding skills.
Psychotherapie von Essstörungen: Ein gendersensibles, integratives Behandlungsmodell (Integrative Modelle in Psychotherapie, Supervision und Beratung)
by Brigitte SchiglIn kaum einer anderen psychischen Erkrankung wird die Verwobenheit von biologischen, psychologischen und sozialen Aspekten so deutlich wie beim Thema Essstörungen: All diese Aspekte müssen sowohl in der Erklärung der Entstehung, wie in der psychotherapeutischen Behandlung von Menschen mit Essstörungen beachtet werden. Essstörungen können als ein gender- und culture bound syndrome verstanden werden, das Sensibilität für die individuellen wie kollektiven verursachenden und aufrechterhaltenden Dynamiken in der Therapie verlangt. In dem Buch soll sowohl auf die Ätiologie von Essstörungen unter diesem Gesichtspunkten eingegangen, als auch daraus folgende integrative Handlungsleitlinien für die Psychotherapie dargestellt werden. Die Autorin liefert eine Vielzahl von praktischen Hinweisen zur gendersensiblen Psychotherapie von Essstörungen und stellt dazu passende Interventionen und Techniken vor.

Lefschetz Properties: Current and New Directions (Springer INdAM Series #59)
by Uwe Nagel Karim Adiprasito Roberta Di Gennaro Sara Faridi Satoshi MuraiThe study of Lefschetz properties for Artinian algebras was motivated by the Lefschetz theory for projective manifolds. Recent developments have demonstrated important cases of the Lefschetz property beyond the original geometric settings, such as Coxeter groups or matroids. Furthermore, there are connections to other branches of mathematics, for example, commutative algebra, algebraic topology, and combinatorics. Important results in this area have been obtained by finding unexpected connections between apparently different topics. A conference in Cortona, Italy in September 2022 brought together researchers discussing recent developments and working on new problems related to the Lefschetz properties. The book will feature surveys on several aspects of the theory as well as articles on new results and open problems.
