Neuroscience and the Future of Chemical-Biological Weapons

Malcolm Dando, University of Bradford, UK'The justified excitement about modern brain science should also come with a warning label. That's what Malcolm Dando has given us in this timely, powerful and deeply informed book.' – Jonathan D. Moreno, University of Pennsylvania, USA 'Chemical and biological weapons and their intersection require an

understanding of the science and the international policy banning them. Non-scientists will value his clear explanation of brain science. Neuroscientists will understand why their work merits scrutiny for weapons implications. All of us will benefit by Dando's singular contribution to why we should be worried and why we must act now.' – Marie Isabelle Chevrier, Rutgers University-Camden, USA

During the last century, advances in the life sciences were used in the development of biological and chemical weapons in large-scale state offensive programmes, many of which targeted the nervous system. This study questions whether the development of novel biological and chemical neuroweapons can be prevented as neuroscience progresses.

FINANCE

Making Sense of MarketsAn Investor’s Guide to Profiting Amidst the Gloom

Kevin Gardiner, Barclays Wealth, UK'There has never been a time in history when it wouldn't have been easy to find excuses not to invest. At last, an honest antidote, grounded on solid economic thinking, to combat our costly human tendency to pervasive pessimism when it comes to investing. This book punctures the too-easy consensus that the glass

is half empty and provides a guide to how investors should really think about the world.' - Greg B Davies, Head of Behavioural-Quantitative Finance, Barclays Wealth and Investment Management, UK 'A refreshingly clear, practical and provocative guide to investing that should appeal to individual savers and finance professionals alike. Gardiner combines a deep understanding of macroeconomic and finance theory (and its limits) with a wealth of investment experience. His conclusion: be humble, keep it simple, be optimistic!' - Joachim Fels, Global Economic Advisor, PIMCO, USA

Since the financial crisis, there have been numerous reports, articles and books highlighting the gloomy future ahead. Making Sense of Markets makes the case that received wisdom is still far too pessimistic, and that the future may be brighter than feared.

SOCIOLOGY

Food, National Identity and NationalismFrom Everyday to Global Politics

Atsuko Ichijo and Ronald Ranta, both at Kingston University, UK'This impressive volume comprehensively and insightfully explores connections between food and nationalism against a backdrop of nationalist politics and global capitalism. Food is the ultimate site for the domestication of the nation. From invented food traditions to symbolic

struggles over food's national authenticity and from food consumption and production to its national branding in global markets, authors Ichijo and Ranta deftly survey the multiple modalities through which food is intertwined with the politics of nationalism. This long overdue book whets our appetite for a new approach to food and the banal, but also politicised, reproduction of national sensibilities.'- Jon Fox, University of Bristol, UK

Exploring a much neglected area, the relationship between food and nationalism, this book examines a number of case studies at various levels of political analysis to show how useful the food and nationalism axis can be in the study of politics.

Contents: Introduction: food, nationalism and national identity / PART I: UNOFFICIAL/BOTTOM-UP: NATIONALISM AND NATIONAL IDENTITY THROUGH FOOD AWAY FROM THE STATE / 1. Everyday creation of the nation / 2. When groups participate in defining the nation / 3.

Food Culture, Consumption and Society

Paolo Corvo, University of Gastronomic Sciences, Italy

Gastronomy is an increasingly important dimension of social life with impacts upon other cultural and economic areas. Recently, consumer food choices have undergone profound changes, related to the dynamics of globalization and the processes of the individualization of society. This book aims to address some of the most significant issues regarding the

relationship between food and society, paying particular attention to consumption choices within the context of the current economic crisis. The book also looks at the consumption of food as both a positive and emotional 'experience', as well as being the source of problems including malnutrition, food waste, land grabbing, and illnesses such as obesity and anorexia. Corvo argues that a new ecological relationship between food and the environment is needed to reduce these problems.

Contents: 1. Introduction / 2. Food culture and society / 3. Crisis and theories of food consumption / 4. Problematics of food / 5. Food, environment and quality of life

Couple Relationships in the 21st Century

Jacqui Gabb, The Open University, UK and Janet Fink, University of Huddersfield, UK'This important, accessible and engagingly written study takes the mystery out of "love" by showing how people experience and perform it in their everyday, relatable lives. The book's wisdom is that love consists very much in what people do in their interactions with each other, rather than something found only "in the stars"; the

authors convey this through the touching and often gripping voices of the people in their study, and guide us through these with their informed, scholarly insights. For academics their pioneering yet simple methodology paves the way toward further research. For a clinician there are indicators for ways to help couples who wish to become more loving in their relationships.' - Professor Janet Reibstein, University of Exeter, UK

Who and how we love may be changing but our desire to be in a relationship endures. This book presents an incisive account of how couples experience, understand and sustain long-term relationships, exploring the emotional, practical and biographical resources that couples draw on, across the life course.

Contents: 1. Introduction / 2. Relationship Work / 3. Communication / 4. Sex and Intimacy / 5. Unsettling Coupledom / 6. Conclusions
