The Cotton Story
Most of us have no idea how the things we use every day are produced. From food, to electronic goods to the clothes we wear. In a global society of conspicuous consumption, the fundamentals are hidden or ignored. The Cotton Story shows how cotton is produced and the impacts of this on ourselves, farmers, and the planet. Many people worry about cancer but are unaware that carcinogenic chemicals are used in cotton production...and are impossible to completely remove from the fibres. Many people dont like the idea of genetically modified (GM) plants, and yet dont know that most cotton is GM...even in the food we eat. Organic cotton is better for our bodies, the farmers and the environment. Unli...

Development Without Freedom
Thanks to the inroads of IMFism and the "war on terror," America has lost much of the soft power it enjoyed in Asia during the early 1990s. The winners, by default, are some of the world's most undemocratic development models, such as Sino-globalism. "Asian values" took a hard blow from the Asian Crash, but have returned in this even more virulent form. The West is left sitting on the sidelines of a distinctly Asian contest of development with or without freedom. Development Without Freedom explores this crucial trial-by-development, which will define the politics of globalization for decades to come.
The No-Nonsense Guide to World Music
"World music" is an awkward phrase. Used to describe the hugely multifaceted nature of a range of typically non-English-language popular music from the world over, it's a tag that throws up as many problems as it does solutions. Louise Gray's The No-Nonsense Guide to World Music attempts to go behind the phrase to explore the reasons for the contemporary interest in world music, who listens to it, and why. Through chapters that focus on specific areas of music, such as rembetika, fado, trance music, and new folk, Gray explores the genres that have emerged from marginalized communities, music in conflict zones, and music as escapism. In this unique guide, which combines the seduction of sound with politics and social issues, the author makes the case for music as a powerful tool able to bring individuals together. Louise Gray is a writer and editor whose work on music and performing arts has appeared in the New Internationalist, The Wire, The Independent on Sunday, the Guardian, and Art Review. She co-edited Sound and the City (British Council, 2007), a book exploring the changing soundworld of China.
