| "Affinities : Potent Connections in Personal Life" |
| "How is it possible to feel an affinity with a place? What is happening when someone feels almost literally transported to another time by a smell or a texture or a song? Why do striking family resemblances sometimes feel uncanny? In each of these cases a potent connection is being made involving forces flows energies and atmospherics that conventional sociological approaches can find hard to grasp but that are important nonetheless In this innovative book Jennifer Mason argues that these are affinities potent charges and charismatically lively connections in personal life that rise up and matter in some way and that enchant or toxify the everyday She suggests that exploring affinities opens up new possibilities for conceptualizing the experience of living in the world through what she calls the 'socio-atmospherics of everyday life' This book invites the reader to embrace possibilities and themes that may seem outside the usual range and to engage in a more open attentive inventive and poetic sociological sensibility"

| Cotton |
| "Whether we are out on the streets or between the sheets cotton is our constant companion But behind this ubiquitous fibre prized for its softness lies a darker story of exploitation and hardship In this penetrating analysis Adam Sneyd explores the power politics that envelop cotton as major corporate players and countries across Africa Asia and the Americas compete to control it In the aftermath of sweatshop scandal exposes and factory collapse disasters merchants and retailers have called for better' cotton farming practices But in seeking to prevent the next transnational media circus will companies simply end up cementing business-as-usual? Corporate public relations strategy now competes directly with the voices of an alternative global community that seeks to fundamentally transform the way that cotton is farmed Yet these demands for cotton to work better for people and the planet have flown under the radar as media attention has focused instead on farmer subsidies and prices From the local to the global this book takes the reader on an illuminating journey through the multifaceted and often grubby politics of the fluffy white stuff in the world economy The pile of political laundry it uncovers is voluminous but as Sneyd argues must be aired in the interests of sustainability and development"

| "Why the World Does Not Exist" |
| "Where do we come from? Are we merely a cluster of elementary particles in a gigantic world receptacle? And what does it all mean? In this highly original new book the philosopher Markus Gabriel challenges our notion of what exists and what it means to exist He questions the idea that there is a world that encompasses everything like a container life the universe and everything else This all-inclusive being does not exist and cannot exist For the world itself is not found in the world And even when we think about the world the world about which we think is obviously not identical with the world in which we think For as we are thinking about the world this is only a very small event in the world Besides this there are still innumerable other objects and events rain showers toothaches and the World Cup Drawing on the recent history of philosophy Gabriel asserts that the world cannot exist at all because it is not found in the world Yet with the exception of the world everything else exists; even unicorns on the far side of the moon wearing police uniforms Revelling in witty thought experiments word play and the courage of provocation Markus Gabriel demonstrates the necessity of a questioning mind and the role that humour can play in coming to terms with the abyss of human existence"

| "We have long been told that corporations rule the world their interests seemingly taking precedence over states and their citizens Yet while states civil society and international organizations are well drawn in terms of their institutions ideologies and functions the world's global corporations are often more simply sketched as mechanisms of profit maximization In this book John Mikler re-casts global corporations as political actors with complex identities and strategies Debunking the idea of global corporations as exclusively profit-driven entities he shows how they seek not only to drive or modify the agendas of states but to govern in their own right He also explains why we need to re-territorialize global corporations as political actors that reflect and project the political power of the states and regions from which they hail We know the global corporations' names we know where they are headquartered and we know where they invest and operate Economic processes are increasingly produced by the control they possess the relationships they have the leverage they employ the strategic decisions they make and the discourses they create to enhance acceptance of their interests This book represents a call to study how they do so rather than making assumptions based on theoretical abstractions"
