Wrong place. Wrong man.   Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so he’s not the most sociable guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but he’s a good husband and an easy-going neighbour.   That’s until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that’s been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now he’s always watching. Questioning.

Book SynopsisRobert L. Fowler is Wills Professor of Greek Emeritus at the University of Bristol, UK.

He has published widely on Greek poetry, mythology, historiography, reception and the history of Classical scholarship. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Trade ReviewThis heartfelt study should prompt further debate about the value of Greek lyric and how to read it ... The book’s tone and pace clearly emerge from masterful teaching, making it an excellent introduction for students. * The Classical Review *Robert Fowler’s Pindar and the Sublime: Greek Myth, Reception, and the Lyric Experience is a profound, erudite, and stimulating book. * Greece and Rome *A superb introduction to Pindar and his poetry. Fowler argues lucidly and passionately that Pindar's odes are examples of sublime literature which transcend their historical context and can still enthuse and inspire audiences today. -- Ian Rutherford, Professor of Classics, University of Reading, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface Ch. 1: Sublime Receptions Ch. 2: Shared Experience Ch. 3: Exceeding Limits Epilogue Notes Bibliography Index of Passages Index of Names and Subject General Index

Book SynopsisVerónica Gago provides a new theory of neoliberalism by examining how Latin American neoliberalism is propelled not just from above by international finance, corporations, and government, but by the activities of migrant workers, vendors, sweatshop workers, and other marginalized groups in and around the La Salada market in Buenos Aires.Trade Review“Verónica Gago’s Neoliberalism from Below represents an important milestone in this biopolitical turn in the study of neoliberalism. . . . In fact, Neoliberalism from Below has already in Latin America become a kind of field manual for the type of militant research of which Gago is herself an important purveyor.” -- Nicolas Allen * A Contracorriente *"A tour de force through more than a century of economic and political thought . . . It should be on the reading list of any scholar working with themes of informality, neoliberalism, or developmentalism." -- Calla Hummel * Latin American Politics and Society *"Brings a much-needed perspective from the Global South to theoretical debates concerning neoliberalism. . . . Neoliberalism from Below masterfully achieves the task it set out to do--namely to characterize neoliberalism . . . A necessary addition to the literature." -- Andrew Davis * Journal of Cultural Economy *"Gago presents her audience with a provocative argument that examines the contradictions of neoliberal capitalism, particularly how it uses, but is also used by, precarious labor. . . . A significant contribution that sits with neoliberalism’s paradoxical manifestations. It is critical reading for those interested in theorizing the shifting dynamics of late capitalism." -- Steven Schmidt * Journal of Latin American Geography *"A fascinating and original account of the production of neoliberalism from the perspective of popular economic practices in Argentina. . . . This skillful translation into English by Liz Mason-Deese . . . is a major theoretical contribution that sheds light on other rationalities which are permeating neoliberalism in Latin America." -- Mara Duer * Journal of Latin American Studies *"An enthralling read. . . . Such is the richness of the work that attempting to review it was a daunting, and at times seemingly thankless, task – should one focus on its contributions to (Southern) urban geography? Attempt to unpack the discussion of governmentality and populism? Or trace its refreshingly nuanced take on ‘slave labour’? . . . Gago is a voice that must be listened to. . . . Alongside the other books in Duke’s Radical Américas series, Gago has made an invaluable contribution that reiterates once more that Latin American thinking is among the most exciting in the world." -- Nick Clare * Dialogues in Human Geography *"Anthropologists of work will find the book significant for its discussion of migrants, blurring the classical definitions of work, as they mix wage labor with entrepreneurial projects or self-employment in ways that problematize the division between formal and informal work. . . . [Gago] effectively considers the ways in which configurations of work are generative for how urban space develops—a contribution that will extend beyond the book’s focus on Argentina." -- Schuyler Therese Marquez * Anthropology of Work Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Introduction.

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewI don’t have Deaf Gain, but I am one of the fortunate hearing people who has been able to witness it, so I know something of what I’m missing. I believe that I am made richer by the simple fact of having witnessed the merit present in what most people still presume to be a deficit. This book elucidates that argument elegantly.—Andrew Solomon, from the Foreword"Bauman and Murray. . . remind us that deafness is a part of, not apart from humanity."—Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education"The overwhelming approach is positive, optimistic, and even heroic.

Book SynopsisEvery year, more than a million men undergo painful needle biopsies for prostate cancer, and upward of 100,000 have radical prostatectomies, resulting in incontinence and impotence. But the shocking fact is that most of these men would never have died from this common form of cancer, which frequently grows so slowly that it never even leaves the prostate. How did we get to a point where so many unnecessary tests and surgeries are being done? In The Great Prostate Hoax, Richard J. Ablin exposes how a discovery he made in 1970, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), was co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry into a multibillion-dollar business. He shows how his discovery of PSA was never meant to be used for screening prostate cancer, and yet nonetheless the test was patented and eventurally approved by the FDA in 1994. Now, doctors and victims are beginning to speak out about the harm of the test, and beginning to search for a true prostate cancer-specific marker.
