Verdun
Paul Jankowski offers a fresh look at Verdun, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the First World War, in a book the will surely become the standard work on the topic.
All Against All
During a single winter, between November 1932 and April 1933, so much went wrong: Hitler came to power; Japan invaded Jehol and left the league of Nations; Mussolini looked towards Africa; Roosevelt was elected; France changed governments three times; and the victors of 1918 fell out acrimoniously over war debts, arms, currency, tariffs and Germany. New hopes flickered but not for long: a world economic conference was planned, only to collapse when the US went its own way. All Against All reveals that collective mentalities and popular beliefs drove this crucial period and set nations on the path to war, as much as the rational calculus of 'national interest'. Weaving together stories from across the world, historian Paul Jankowski offers a cautionary tale relevant for Western democracies today. The rising threat from dictatorial regimes and the ideological challenges from communism and fascism gave the 1930s a unique face, just as global environmental and demographic crises are shaping our own precious age.
Stavisky
"Jankowski recounts Stavisky's notorious schemes and untimely demise, the deadly riot that rocked Paris in its wake, the fall of successive governments including that of Edouard Daladier, and the spectacular trial of many of the swindler's accomplices. "Much against his will, Sacha Stavisky," the author observes, "ignited an explosion that briefly engulfed the entire system of government.""--BOOK JACKET.
How to Speak American
As I participate in brand strategy sessions, review consumer behavior data and observe hundreds of branding initiatives, I am more convinced than ever that many of the major ad agencies and brand leaders do not understand the "New" Heartland beyond a handful of shallow insights and stereotypes. There is a great opportunity for brands to build strong relationships with the biggest and most loyal consumer segment in the country: 60% of US consumers live in the New Heartland. This book will help brand builders define and connect with the New Heartland consumer and embrace the role core values such as Faith, Community and Family plays in buying behavior.
Marathon
Features instructions for runners of all ability levels on preparing for a marathon, including training schedules, advice on diet, defensive running strategies, and tips for staying motivated.
Pure Resistance
Noting that though Christian thought has consistently held virginity to be purer than married life, a virgin woman has always queer been in social terms, Jankowsky (English, Washington State U.) explores the tensions behind the many representations of virgin women in English stage plays from 1590 to about 1670 and how those representations can be considered queer.

The Specter of Democracy
In this rethinking of Marxism and its blind spots, Howard uses a critical rereading of Marx as a theorist of democracy to offer a new way to think about this political ideal. He argues that it is democracy, rather than Marxism, that is radical and revolutionary, and that Marx could have seen this but did not.
E-Research
No less than a revolutionary transformation of the research enterprise is underway. This transformation extends beyond the natural sciences, where 'e-research' has become the modus operandi, and is penetrating the social sciences and humanities, sometimes with differences in accent and label. Many suggest that the very essence of scholarship in these areas is changing. The everyday procedures and practices of traditional forms of scholarship are affected by these and other features of e-research. This volume, which features renowned scholars from across the globe who are active in the social sciences and humanities, provides critical reflection on the overall emergence of e-research, particularly on its adoption and adaptation by the social sciences and humanities.
Speak American Too
Speak American too includes new research from the New Heartland Consumer Insights Study. The First-of-its-Kind consumer research conducted in the U.S. identifies differences between New Heartland and non-New Heartland consumers, their brand perceptions, and buying behaviors. The study was conducted for New Heartland Group in 2014 by Prince Market Research. Book jacket.
