| "The Struggle for Order: Hegemony, Hierarchy, and Transition in Post-Cold War East Asia by Evelyn Goh (Hardback, 2013)" |
| "How has world order changed since the Cold War ended? Do we live in an age of American empire or is global power shifting to the East with the rise of China? Arguing that existing ideas about balance of power and power transition are inadequate this book gives an innovative reinterpretation of the changing nature of US power focused on the 'order transition' in East Asia Hegemonic power is based on both coercion and consent and hegemony is crucially underpinned by shared norms and values Thus hegemons must constantly legitimize their unequal power to other states In periods of strategic change the most important political dynamics centre on this bargaining process conceived here as the negotiation of a social compact This book studies the re-negotiation of this consensual compact between the US China and other states in post-Cold War East Asia It analyses institutional bargains to constrain and justify power; attempts to re-define the relationship between a regional community and the global economic order; the evolution of great power authority in regional conflict management and the salience of competing justice claims in memory disputes It finds that US hegemony has been established in East Asia after the Cold War mainly because of the complicity of key regional states But the new social compact also makes room for rising powers and satisfies smaller states' insecurities The book controversially proposes that the East Asian order is multi-tiered and hierarchical led by the US but incorporating China Japan and other states in the layers below it"

| "Leo Strauss on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra" |
| "Although Leo Strauss published little on Nietzsche his lectures and correspondence demonstrate a deep critical engagement with Nietzsche's thought One of the richest contributions is a seminar on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra taught in 1959 during Strauss's tenure at the University of Chicago In the lectures Strauss draws important parallels between Nietzsche's most important project and his own ongoing efforts to restore classical political philosophy With Leo Strauss on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra preeminent Strauss scholar Richard L Velkley presents Strauss's lectures on Zarathustra with superb annotations that bring context and clarity to the critical role played by Nietzsche in shaping Strauss's thought In addition to the broad relationship between Nietzsche and political philosophy Strauss adeptly guides readers through Heidegger's confrontations with Nietzsche laying out Heidegger's critique of Nietzsche's will to power while also showing how Heidegger can be read as a foil for his own reading of Nietzsche The lectures also shed light on the relationship between Heidegger and Strauss as both philosophers saw Nietzsche as a central figure for understanding the crisis of philosophy and Western civilization Strauss's reading of Nietzsche is one of the important--yet little appreciated--philosophical inquiries of the past century both an original interpretation of Nietzsche's thought and a deep engagement with the core problems that modernity posed for political philosophy It will be welcomed by anyone interested in the work of either philosopher"

Is the HPV vaccine safe? We depend on science and medicine as never before yet there is widespread misinformation and confusion amplified by the media regarding what influences our health In Getting Risk Right Geoffrey C Kabat shows how science works-and sometimes doesn't-and what separates these two very different outcomes Kabat seeks to help us distinguish between claims that are supported by solid science and those that are the result of poorly designed or misinterpreted studies By exploring different examples he explains why certain risks are worth worrying about while others are not He emphasizes the variable quality of research in contested areas of health risks as well as the professional political and methodological factors that can distort the research process Drawing on recent systematic critiques of biomedical research and on insights from behavioral psychology Getting Risk Right examines factors both internal and external to the science that can influence what results get attention and how questionable results can be used to support a particular narrative concerning an alleged public health threat In this book Kabat provides a much-needed antidote to what has been called an epidemic of false claims"
