Whistleblowing: Toward a New TheoryKATE KENNYSociety needs whistleblowers, yet to speak up and expose wrongdoing often results in professional and personal ruin. Kate Kenny draws on the stories of whistleblowers to explain why this is, and what must be done to protect those who have the courage to expose the truth. Kenny interviewed the men and women who reported unethical and illegal conduct at major corporations in the run up to the 2008 financial crisis. Many were compliance officers working in influential organizations that claimed to follow the rules. Using the concept of affective recognition to explain how the norms at work powerfully influence our understandings of right and wrong, she reframes whistleblowing as a collective phenomenon, not just a personal choice but a vital public service.

Seeing Trees: A History of Street Trees in New York City and BerlinSONJA DUMPELMANNToday, cities around the globe are planting street trees to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, as landscape historian Sonja Dümpelmann explains, this is not a new phenomenon. In her eye-opening work, Dümpelmann shows how New York City and Berlin began systematically planting trees to improve the urban climate during the nineteenth century, presenting the history of the practice within its larger social, cultural, and political contexts. A unique integration of empirical research and theory, Dümpelmann’s richly illustrated work uncovers this important untold story. Street trees - variously regarded as sanitizers, nuisances, upholders of virtue, economic engines, and more - reflect the changing relationship between humans and nonhuman nature in urban environments.

The Walking Whales: From Land to Water in Eight Million YearsJ. G. M. “HANS” THEWISSENHans Thewissen, a leading researcher in the field of whale paleontology and anatomy, gives a sweeping first-person account of the discoveries that brought to light the early fossil record of whales. As evidenced in the record, whales evolved from herbivorous forest-dwelling ancestors that resembled tiny deer to carnivorous monsters stalking lakes and rivers and to serpentlike denizens of the coast.Thewissen reports on his discoveries in the wilds of India and Pakistan, weaving a narrative that reveals the day-to-day adventures of fossil collection, enriching it with local flavors from South Asian culture and society.

BUSINESSIBM: The Rise and Fall and Reinvention of a Global IconJAMES W. CORTADAFor decades, IBM shaped the way the world did business. IBM products were in every large organization, and IBM corporate culture established a management style that was imitated by companies around the globe. And yet over the years, IBM has gone through both failure and success, surviving flatlining revenue and forced reinvention. In this authoritative, monumental history, James Cortada tells the story of one of the most influential American companies of the last century.History of Computing.

The Next Billion Users: Digital Life Beyond the WestPAYAL ARORANew-media pundits obsess over online privacy and security, cyberbullying, and revenge porn, but do these things really matter in most of the world? The Next Billion Users reveals that many assumptions about Internet use in developing countries are wrong. After immersing herself in factory towns, slums, townships, and favelas, Payal Arora assesses real patterns of Internet usage in India, China, South Africa, Brazil, and the Middle East. She finds Himalayan teens growing closer by sharing a single computer with common passwords and profiles. In China’s gaming factories, the line between work and leisure disappears. In Riyadh, a group of young women organizes a YouTube fashion show.

COMPUTER SCIENCEActual CausalityJOSEPH Y. HALPERNCausality plays a central role in the way people structure the world; we constantly seek causal explanations for our observations. But what does it even mean that an event C “actually caused” event E? The problem of defining actual causation goes beyond mere philosophical speculation. For example, in many legal arguments, it is precisely what needs to be established in order to determine responsibility. The philosophy literature has been struggling with the problem of defining causality since Hume. In this book, Joseph Halpern explores actual causality, and such related notions as degree of responsibility, degree of blame, and causal explanation.

ECONOMICSAirline Economics in AsiaXIAOWEN FU AND JAMES PEOPLESAir transport service has become an indispensable source of long distance transport for businesses and leisure travelers and for high-value-low-volume products. The significance of this transport service as a driver of economic growth is made abundantly apparent when examining the interdependence of business and air transport growth in Asia. Given the key role this region plays as a contributor to growth in the global airline transport service sector and the distinctive features of the aviation market observed, it is important to understand the economics of this sector in Asia. This volume contributes to the understanding of air transport services in Asia by presenting new research in the following four key areas in airline economics: competition and regulatory change; passenger demand and satisfaction; industry performance; and the interdependence of airlines companies and airports. Advances in Airline Economics.Xiaowen Fu is from the University of Sydney.

Darkness by Design: The Hidden Power in Global Capital MarketsWALTER MATTLICapital markets have undergone a dramatic transformation in the past two decades. Algorithmic high-speed supercomputing has replaced traditional floor trading and human market makers, while centralized exchanges that once ensured fairness and transparency have fragmented into a dizzying array of competing exchanges and trading platforms. Darkness by Design exposes the unseen perils of market fragmentation and “dark” markets, some of which are deliberately designed to enable the transfer of wealth from the weak to the powerful.

The End of Theory: Financial Crises, the Failure of Economics, and the Sweep of Human InteractionRICHARD BOOKSTABEROur economy may have recovered from the Great Recession - but not our economics. The End of Theory discusses why the human condition and the radical uncertainty of our world renders the standard economic model—and the theory behind it—useless for dealing with financial crises. What model should replace it? None. At least not any version we’ve been using for the past two hundred years. Richard Bookstaber argues for a new approach called agent-based economics, one that takes as a starting point the fact that we are humans, not the optimizing automatons that standard economics assumes we are. Sweeping aside the historic failure of twentieth-century economics, The End of Theory offers a novel perspective and more realistic framework to help prevent today’s financial system from blowing up again. “Bookstaber’s cogent and accessible book explains the financial crisis of 2008 in great detail, demonstrating how people’s reactions to events―sometimes emotional, sometimes rational―influenced the behavior of other people, which then reverberated back to the initial actors.”―Foreign Affairs

Reform of the International Monetary System: Why and How?JOHN B. TAYLORIn Reform of the International Monetary System: Why and How?, the economist, John Taylor, argues that the apparent correlation of monetary policy decisions among different countries - largely the result of countries’ concerns about the exchange rate - causes monetary policy to deviate from effective policies that stabilize inflation and the economy. He argues that a rules-based reform of the international monetary system, achieved by applying basic economic theory, would improve economic performance. Karl Brunner Distinguished Lecture Series.

ENVIRONMENTGlobal Environmental Governance and the Accountability TrapSUSAN PARK, TERESA KRAMARZ, FRANK BIERMANN AND ORAN R. YOUNGThe rapid development of global environmental governance has been accompanied by questions of accountability. Efforts to address what has been called “a culture of unaccountability” include greater transparency, public justification for governance decisions, and the establishment of monitoring and enforcement procedures. And yet, as this volume shows, these can lead to an “accountability trap” - a focus on accountability measures rather than improved environmental outcomes. After laying out a theoretical framework for its analyses, the book addresses governance in the key areas of climate change, biodiversity, fisheries, and trade and global value chains. Earth System Governance.Susan Park is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Sydney.

Solar Power: Innovation, Sustainability, and Environmental JusticeDUSTIN MULVANEYIn this important new primer, Dustin Mulvaney makes a passionate case for the significance of solar power energy and offers a vision for a more sustainable and just solar industry for the future. The solar energy industry has grown immensely over the past several years and now provides up to a fifth of California’s power. But despite its deservedly green reputation, solar development and deployment may have social and environmental consequences, from poor factory labor standards to landscape impacts on wildlife. “This wide-ranging and impressively researched book emphatically demonstrates that an equitable energy transition will require much more than breaking our carbon addiction. By opening up the ‘black box’ of how solar energy is produced, distributed, and debated, Mulvaney frames a refreshingly clear treatment of how solar energy is generated, with a sensitive analysis of the political and social justice implications of each step of the solar energy commodity chain. This book leaves us with as many questions as answers—so essential as we confront the complexity of a just renewable energy transition.” ––Karen Rignall, Assistant Professor of Food and Environment, University of Kentucky College of Agriculture

HIGHER EDUCATIONAchieving Academic PromotionMARIAN MAHAT AND JENNIFER TATEBEAcademic promotion doesn’t come easy: a successful application requires you to demonstrate continued growth in every area of your role as a researcher, educator and member of the academic community. Furthermore, the detail of the promotions process varies from one country to another and even from one institution to another. So where does an ambitious academic start?Achieving Academic Promotion demystifies the process by bringing together international perspectives - both personal accounts and reflections on the structures and processes of promotion in different contexts - to help you understand the steps you can take at any stage of your career to move up the ladder. “Achieving Academic Promotion is an important and highly valuable resource for academics at all career stages. This book both supports and challenges all of us to focus on our career trajectories with confidence, precision and ownership. Tips and advice provided throughout are pragmatic and professionally contextualised to ensure relevance across the international academic community.

Refugees in Higher Education: Debate, Discourse and PracticeJACQUELINE STEVENSON AND SALLY BAKERThis book examines the key debates relating to the rights, responsibilities, policies and practices of the higher education sector when dealing with students from refugee backgrounds. Exploring the political context of forced migration to countries of settlement, including the impact made by media rhetoric, Refugees in Higher Education identifies how such global issues frame and position the efforts of universities to open access to, and enable the participation of, refugee students. Focusing on the U.K. and Australia (representing a past colonising and a colonised country) and including a series of individual case studies, it asks challenging questions about the discourses around forced migration, and how these play out for students on a personal level. Great Debates in Higher Education.Sally Baker is a Lecturer in the School of Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales.


INTERNATIONAL STUDIESJapan Rearmed: The Politics of Military PowerSHEILA A SMITHJapan has one of Asia’s most technologically advanced militaries and yet struggles to use its hard power as an instrument of national policy. The horrors of World War II continue to haunt policymakers in Tokyo, while China and South Korea remain wary of any military ambitions Japan may entertain. Yet a fundamental shift in East Asian geopolitics has forced Japan to rethink the commitment to pacifism it made during the U.S. occupation. It has increasingly flexed its muscles - deploying troops under UN auspices, participating in coercive sanctions, augmenting surveillance capabilities, and raising defence budgets. In Japan Rearmed Sheila Smith argues that Japan is not only responding to increasing threats from North Korean missiles and Chinese maritime activities but also reevaluating its dependence on the United States.


Of Privacy and Power: The Transatlantic Struggle over Freedom and SecurityHENRY FARRELL AND ABRAHAM L. NEWMANWe live in an interconnected world, where security problems like terrorism are spilling across borders, and globalized data networks and e-commerce platforms are reshaping the world economy. This means that states’ jurisdictions and rule systems clash. How have they negotiated their differences over freedom and security? Of Privacy and Power investigates how the European Union and United States, the two major regulatory systems in world politics, have regulated privacy and security, and how their agreements and disputes have reshaped the transatlantic relationship.“Showcasing a ‘new interdependence’ framework, Of Privacy and Power analyzes how overlaps in the rules governing global information flows create power asymmetries that destabilize domestic policy bargains. The result is an understanding of the world where stable equilibria are rare, and distinctions between the national and the international are erased. This book delivers a politics of scale that gives researchers a useful structure for studying the international political economy as an integrated but unstable system.”―Mark Blyth, Brown University

LAWPrisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass IncarcerationRACHEL ELISE BARKOWThe United States has the world’s highest rate of incarceration, a form of punishment that ruins lives and makes a return to prison more likely. As awful as that truth is for individuals and their families, its social consequences - recycling offenders through an overwhelmed criminal justice system, ever-mounting costs, unequal treatment before the law, and a growing class of permanently criminalized citizens - are even more devastating. With the authority of a prominent legal scholar and the practical insights gained through on-the-ground work on criminal justice reform, Rachel Barkow explains how dangerous it is to base criminal justice policy on the whims of the electorate, which puts judges, sheriffs, and politicians in office. Instead, she argues for an institutional shift toward data and expertise, following the model used to set food and workplace safety rules.


Law and Macroeconomics: Legal Remedies to RecessionsYAIR LISTOKINAfter the economic crisis of 2008, private-sector spending took nearly a decade to recover. Yair Listokin thinks we can respond more quickly to the next meltdown by reviving and refashioning a policy approach whose proven success is too rarely acknowledged. Harking back to New Deal regulatory agencies, Listokin proposes that we take seriously law’s ability to function as a macroeconomic tool, capable of stimulating demand when needed and relieving demand when it threatens to overheat economies.


MANAGEMENTKnowledge Management as a Strategic Asset: An Integrated, Historical ApproachJON-ARILD JOHANNESSENSince it was established as a discipline in 1991, knowledge management has contributed significantly to our understanding of how firms can achieve competitive advantage. To build a foundation for competitive advantage, however, a company must first consider knowledge management as a strategic asset. It must truly grasp how knowledge management can be utilized to build the future of the company. Jon-Arild Johannessen examines the history of knowledge management in order to highlight the contributions that the discipline can make to twenty-first-century strategic challenges. Emerald Points.

Principles and Fundamentals of Islamic ManagementSEYED MOHAMMAD MOGHIMIPrinciples and Fundamentals of Islamic Management examines the concept of business and public management from the viewpoint of Islam, with close reference to the Quran and other illuminating Islamic sources. Seyed Mohammad Moghimi provides key insights from an Islamic perspective across a comprehensive range of management topics, including planning, decision making and policy making, organizing, human resources management, directing and organizational control. The book concludes by analyzing the role of a company director within an Islamic context. Through this in-depth exploration of Islamic management principles and fundamentals, the author creates a modern and practical framework suitable for use by international business managers.


Organizational Behavior Management: An Islamic ApproachSEYED MOHAMMAD MOGHIMIThe most important resource an organization has is its staff, its human resources, and it is the task of management to help staff to reach their full potential in order to optimize the organization’s competitive advantage. Yet human behaviour is complex, and most managers neglect to explore fully the multifaceted principles - some practical, some abstract or philosophical - that are essential to understanding it. Here Seyed Mohammad Moghimi examines both the everyday and the theoretical insights offered by Islamic sources for managing organizational behavior. He takes a wide-ranging approach to key organizational issues, including organizational communication, organizational leadership, conflict management, and organizational culture and ethics.

Waiting for the Revolution: The British far left from 1956EVAN SMITH AND MATTHEW WORLEYWaiting for the revolution is a volume of essays examining the diverse currents of British left-wing politics from 1956 to the present day. The book is designed to complement the previous volume, Against the Grain: The far left in Britain from 1956, bringing together young and established academics and writers to discuss the realignments and fissures that maintain leftist politics into the twenty-first century. The two books endeavour to historicise the British left, detailing but also seeking to understand the diverse currents that comprise ‘the far left’. Their objective is less to intervene in ongoing issues relevant to the left and politics more generally, than to uncover and explore the traditions and issues that have preoccupied leftist groups, activists and struggles. Evan Smith is a Visiting Adjunct Fellow in the School of History and International Relations at Flinders University, South Australia.

RESEARCHThe Lost Ethnographies: Methodological Insights From Projects That Never WereROBIN JAMES SMITH AND SARA DELAMONTThe Lost Ethnographies reports on the methodological lessons learnt from ethnographic projects that, viewed superficially, failed. Experienced researchers write about projects they planned, and were excited about, which then never began, had to be abandoned, or took such unexpected directions that it became a different piece of work altogether. The topics and settings are varied and disparate, but the lessons learnt have important similarities. These reflections, on projects that were never even begun, show how to gain fresh energy and social science insight from apparent rejection, and the collection approaches the whole concept of lost ethnography in provocative ways.Studies in Qualitative Methodology.

Spark PATRICIA LEAVYProfessor Peyton Wilde has an enviable life teaching sociology at an idyllic liberal arts college - yet she is troubled by a sense of fading inspiration. One day an invitation arrives. Peyton has been selected to attend a luxurious all-expense-paid seminar in Iceland, where participants, billed as some of the greatest thinkers in the world, will be charged with answering one perplexing question. Meeting her diverse teammates - two neuroscientists, a philosopher, a dance teacher, a collage artist, and a farmer - Peyton wonders what she could ever have to contribute. The ensuing journey of discovery will transform the characters’ work, their biases, and themselves. This suspenseful novel shows that the answers you seek can be found in the most unlikely places. It can be read for pleasure, is a great choice for book clubs, and can be used as unique and inspiring reading in qualitative research.“This compelling, highly original novel from an internationally renowned sociologist and author brings us to a meeting of people with radically different perspectives and life experiences who are asked to collaboratively answer a question. We eavesdrop on their lively discussions, explore the beauty of Iceland with them, cheer as we see them help each other conquer personal fears, and rejoice as they bond into a caring community. People with very different ideas can learn to learn and care for each other. Kindness matters. We need each other’s ways of knowing. Spark is perfect for any group--class, family, community--where differences need to be respected and commonalities affirmed. If I ran the world, I would make this book required reading.”—Laurel Richardson, PhD, author of Seven Minutes from Home; Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Sociology, The Ohio State University“Leavy’s work has profoundly affected the graduate students in my program. Spark will surely have a deep impact. I can think of no better way to launch discussions about epistemology, ontology, and the research process more broadly, and to expose students to fiction as a social research practice. I was captivated throughout as I, too, pursued an answer to ‘the question.’ Spark is brimming with insightful reflections, not only about research, but also about life. I plan to use it in all of my research courses as a required text.”—Ricardo D. Rosa, PhD, School of Education, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth

The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul: Learning and the Origins of ConsciousnessSIMONA GINSBURG AND EVA JABLONKAWhat marked the evolutionary transition from organisms that lacked consciousness to those with consciousness—to minimal subjective experiencing, or, as Aristotle described it, “the sensitive soul”? In this book, Simona Ginsburg and Eva Jablonka propose a new theory about the origin of consciousness that finds learning to be the driving force in the transition to basic consciousness. Using a methodology similar to that used by scientists when they identified the transition from non-life to life, Ginsburg and Jablonka suggest a set of criteria, identify a marker for the transition to minimal consciousness, and explore the far-reaching biological, psychological, and philosophical implications.


March 4: Scientists, Students, and Society (Anniversary Edition) JONATHAN ALLENOn March 4, 1969, MIT faculty and students joined together for an extraordinary day of protest. Growing out of the MIT community’s anguish over the Vietnam War and concern over the perceived complicity of academic science with the American war machine, the events of March 4 and the days following were a “positive protest” - a forum not only for addressing political and moral priorities but also for mapping out a course of action. Soon afterward, some of the participants founded the Union of Concerned Scientists. This book documents the March 4 protest with transcripts of talks and panel discussions. Speakers included Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Lionel Trilling, and Nobel Laureate George Wald, whose memorable speech, “A Generation in Search of a Future,” was widely circulated. Topics of discussion ranged from general considerations of the intellectuals’ political responsibility to specific comments on the Vietnam War and nuclear disarmament.

TECHNOLOGYA Billion Little Pieces: RFID and the Infrastructures of Identification JORDAN FRITHRFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is ubiquitous but often invisible, a mobile technology used by more people more often than any flashy smartphone app. RFID systems use radio waves to communicate identifying information, transmitting data from a tag that carries data to a reader that accesses the data. RFID tags can be found in credit cards, passports, key fobs, car windshields, subway passes, consumer electronics, tunnel walls, and even human and animal bodies - identifying tens of billions of objects as they move through the world. In this book, Jordan Frith looks at RFID technology and its social impact, bringing into focus a technology that was designed not to be noticed.Infrastructures.
