Japan's Total Empire
In this first social and cultural history of Japan's construction of Manchuria, Louise Young offers an incisive examination of the nature of Japanese imperialism. Focusing on the domestic impact of Japan's activities in Northeast China between 1931 and 1945, Young considers "metropolitan effects" of empire building: how people at home imagined and experienced the empire they called Manchukuo. Contrary to the conventional assumption that a few army officers and bureaucrats were responsible for Japan's overseas expansion, Young finds that a variety of organizations helped to mobilize popular support for Manchukuo—the mass media, the academy, chambers of commerce, women's organizations, youth groups, and agricultural cooperatives—leading to broad-based support among diverse groups of Japanese. As the empire was being built in China, Young shows, an imagined Manchukuo was emerging at home, constructed of visions of a defensive lifeline, a developing economy, and a settler's paradise.

Islands
"Once you have slept on an island, you'll never be quite the same", begins an old verse. Places of dreams and desires, islands have long held a primal sway over our hearts and imaginations. In this beautifully written, exquisitely illustrated book, Louise Young explores some of the most fascinating of these isolated landscapes, particularly those whose stories address the delicate balance that exists between the land, the people, and other living things. An environmentalist and geophysicist, Young describes the unique history and personality of each island -- its birth and evolution, the geology that has shaped its landscape, and its human, plant, and animal inhabitants. From the volcanic or...
Ultimate Decadence
EROTIC FICTION. Last year, "Ultimate Burlesque" helped raise GBP10,000 for Macmillan as part of the Burlesque Against Breast Cancer initiative. Featuring writers including Katie Fforde, Jo Rees and Kristina Lloyd, it shot to number one in the Amazon erotica charts and attracted coverage from magazines including "Now", "Look", "Scarlet", and even the "Alan Titchmarsh Show". This year, "Ultimate Decadence" aims to raise even more money for Macmillan. Featuring over 20 erotic stories with a decadent theme from some of the world's best authors, expect it to make even more of a splash than last year's anthology.

The Unfinished Universe
From the dawn of humankind, men and women have looked at change--as wrought by weather, the seasons, and, most strikingly, the inexorable advance of time--as something essentially to be feared. And partially from this fear the great religions and mythologies have arisen, systems which gave meaning to the ever-changing world, and, quite often, immortality to ourselves. By the late nineteenth century, the quest for ultimate meanings became largely the province of science, and today, change still figures (on the surface, at least) as a malevolent force: most of the cosmological theories formulated in recent years predict the ultimate extinction of the world by universal entropy. Bringing togeth...
