Farthest Valley
Authors: Wheelan Joseph 
Published: December 2024

A history of the legendary extraction of the Fifth and Seventh Marines from a Chinese trap, told for the first time using Chinese sources.
Knee-deep in snow, and under a leaden sky, American Marines thousands of miles from home watched more snow settle onto the frozen ground, glittering in the fading light. Suddenly, the still Korean night roared to life with the sound of Chinese mortar fire. The Fifth and Seventh Marine Regiments were besieged and surrounded by the Chinese 9th Army Group in a surprise attack at Chosin Reservoir in what is now North Korea. Vastly outnumbered and outgunned, defeat and death seemed guaranteed. Their improbable escape after a week of brutal combat required all the Marines' fighting skills and supreme combat leadership.
It has become the stuff of legend and is brilliantly brought to life in this book through first-hand accounts by Joseph Wheelan, himself the son of a Chosin veteran. However,The Farthest Valleyalso uses Chinese military documents to give a unique perspective on Chinese strategic and tactical failings which allowed the Marines to escape. Without the Marines the entire United Nations core strength was at risk of collapse which would have changed the outcome of the Korean War. This is a compelling history of the Marines’ incredible tenacity and of woeful combat leadership as the Chinese gambled away their men’s lives and ultimately victory.
East Africa Campaign 1940–41
Authors: Battistelli Pier Paolo 
Published: December 2024

A fascinating study of one of the often overlooked World War II campaigns as British/Commonwealth, Indigenous and Italian forces battled for control of the Horn of Africa.
In mid-1940, Italy’s East African colonies posed a significant threat to the British Empire, and in particular to the flow of supplies through the Red Sea to Egypt. British High Command feared moves from Italian East Africa and so sent reinforcements to its positions in Kenya and Sudan. Thus began a series of clashes across East Africa, with the British attempting to keep the Italians isolated and unable to threaten British supply lines. In March 1941, British theatre commander General Archibald Wavell opted for a lightning campaign to eliminate the Italian threat for good.
Italian military historian Pier Paolo Battistelli provides a fresh account of this campaign, from the initial Italian attacks to the Allied counter-offensive into Eritrea, Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland. Among the actions covered are Addis Ababa, Amba Alagi, Gondar, Tug Argan, and Keren. This work presents an assessment of the forces involved of both sides, including Orde Wingate’s Gideon force, pro-Selassié Ethiopian irregulars and Eritrean and Somalian troops, as well as Indian, South African, British and Italian regular forces. With colourful artwork, detailed maps and diagrams, this book highlights an overlooked World War II campaign and the bloody fight for the Horn of Africa.
EU’s Human Rights Responsibility Gap
Authors: De Coninck Joyce 
Published: December 2024

Can the EU be held legally responsible for its contributions to human rights harms in its Integrated Border Management policy? Or do systemic legal design flaws in the EU's human rights responsibility regime give rise to a significant responsibility gap?
This book delves into these pressing questions, offering a transversal analysis of applicable legal frameworks under international and EU law. Divided into three parts, the book first analyses the international and EU human rights responsibility frameworks, revealing both ‘normative incongruency’ as well as ‘liability incongruency’. Part two applies these frameworks to specific illustrations within the four tiers of the EU’s Integrated Border Management, exposing the critical points where responsibility falters. Building on these findings and drawing from shared responsibility and relationality theories, part three briefly introduces 'Relational Human Rights Responsibility' as an alternative method to ascertaining human rights responsibility of the EU specifically, and international organisations more generally.
Effectiveness of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
Authors: Navarro Gabriela CB 
Published: December 2024

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has the most developed jurisprudence on indigenous rights, yet this case law is understudied. This book addresses this gap by exploring the Court and its cases from both the perspective of international law and the legal protection of indigenous territories.
Setting out the network of actors and institutions involved in such litigation, it examines the motivations and constraints in domestic politics affecting international orders (and by extension the impact of the Court). It provides both an important statement on the effectiveness of international tribunals and a fascinating insight into the evolution of indigenous rights.
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (Onna ga kaidan o agaru toki)
Authors: Russell Catherine 
Published: December 2024

Mikio Naruse'sWhen A Woman Ascends The Stairs(1960) combines high melodrama with modernist film language, telling the story of Keiko, a bar hostess struggling to succeed in Tokyo's Ginza district.
Catherine Russell's study of the film provides an in-depth analysis of Naruse's distinctive filmmaking, from his use of two-shots in confined spaces, unique lighting techniques, and his "invisible" and "rhythmic" editing style. She analyses the recurring motif of a woman’s white-stockinged feet climbing stairs, considering how this symbolizes the social dynamics of the high-class Japanese sex industry that sustains hostess bar culture.
Russell goes on to argue that the film is a “late” woman’s film which engages with the institutional barriers to woman’s success in postwar Japan. She situates the film within the trajectory of Naruse's career and analyses how his social critique is balanced with an aestheticization of a harsh and brutally gendered world, creating an affective tension that is symptomatic of Naruse's own position as an industrial worker.
Energy Resource Conflict
Authors: Parafiniuk Adrah N. , Smith Zachary A. 
Published: December 2024

Delve into the history of energy resource conflicts, their present status, and the potential effects of today's energy production decisions on the future of humanity.
This book examines international and sometimes intranational conflicts over energy resources, including ancient empires, 20th-century wars over oil, and the explosive growth of renewable energy. The volume begins with a series of chapters tracing the evolution and future implications of energy production and clashes over these vital resources. Next, readers will discover a collection of essays addressing fascinating yet sometimes contentious facets of the subject, including the current limits of renewable energy sources and the role nuclear power should play. A collection of 50 encyclopedic entries round out the book, providing readers with concise explanations of key concepts and terms.
Energy resource conflicts have shaped the world we live in. After humans settled across the planet, growing empires began to compete for resources. First, they competed for wood, then steel and coal. The ability to mine these resources and turn them into trains, ships, and weapons decided which countries would dominate the world. Oil became the most important international resource by the turn of the 20th century and has remained so until the present day. But, as the authors argue, humans have the technology to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy for the vast majority of their energy needs, despite corporate fossil fuel interests. Using advanced statistics on the use and growth of all major energy sources, this book is an excellent source of information on the predicted growth of various forms of energy as well as the inevitable—yet not necessarily peaceful—transition toward renewable and carbon-free energy sources.
Unsilenced
Authors: Hill Rosemary Lucy , Fileborn Bianca , Strong Catherine 
Published: December 2024

This book explores gender-based violence within the music industry, and how women who have experienced violence represent it in their music.
Using the key case studies of music by Kesha, Lingua Ignota, and Alice Glass, as well as many other examples from across the musical landscape, the book examines how the artists represent their experiences of gender-based violence in their music, lyrics, and music videos; how they narrate and describe their experiences; how they incorporate these experiences into their public personas; and how the music industry itself might be facilitating or perpetuating the violence.
The analysis sheds light on how survivors construct their experiences, and how the songs and videos inscribe new understandings of gender-based violence. The book argues that men’s control of women’s creativity can be considered a form of musical abuse, and that through its structures and systems the music industry itself can be classed as inherently abusive. And yet, women musicians can sing back to the violence they’ve experienced and create powerful new representations that have the potential to change the way we listen to music, if we are prepared to develop our feminist ears.
Philip Roth and the Body
Authors: Lander Joshua 
Published: December 2024

To what extent can the leaky, porous bodies in Philip Roth’s fiction be read as symbols of resistance against anti-Semitism, white supremacy, and racism?
Philip Roth and the Bodyquestions the symbolic functionality of the corporeal in Roth’s main works of fiction, particularly as sites of gender and racial identification for Roth’s protagonists. In his recurrent employment of the abject, Roth throws into doubt the body as a coherent, stable entity, undermining his male characters’ determinations of gendered and racial otherness through his porously unstable bodies.
Joshua Lander draws on the work of Zygmunt Bauman and his theory of the ‘conceptual Jew’ to argue that Roth’s fiction is yoked together by a shared interest in how anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jewish difference – centered around the body – pervasively inform American Jewish identities. The book also contends that Roth resists American white nationalism by transforming the body’s ejaculations, excretions, secretions, and expulsions into symbols of difference that he repeatedly ties to Jewishness. At the same time, this study highlights how Roth's novels, through his focus on Jewish men, risk the reification of America’s sexist social structures as they intersect with the very racism Roth seeks to undermine.
Philip Roth and the Body’s examination of how bodies in Roth’s fiction are entities troubled within his prose renews conversations about whose bodies matter, both in Roth studies and in the context of America’s racial and social politics.
Sinead O’Connor's Universal Mother
Authors: Bertei Adele 
Published: December 2024

WithUniversal Mother, Sinead O’Connor explores childhood trauma and her experiences as a woman, mother, target of scorn, and ultimate phoenix.
Released in the winter of 1994,UniversalMotherwas the first recorded work from O’Connor since her duo of protests in 1992 (Saturday Night Live, Madison Square Garden). The sadistic blowback she faced for publicly outing the child abuse of the Catholic Church and its cover-up would have destroyed most. Where Sinead might go next, or if she’d ever record again, was the question. It’s a testament to her integrity and extraordinary courage that she was able to resurrect with this extraordinary album.
The album takes us on a deeply personal, yet universal journey of womanhood, from the archetypal bad mother to the good and the kind. A feminist statement from Germaine Greer sets the tone, followed by O’Connor letting loose a storm of rage against her abusive mother in “Fire on Bablyon”—a salvo so explosive, it need not be repeated. Other than a song called “Red Football” and a call-out of the truth behind the Irish potato famine, O’Connor is not interested in rage or revenge. WithUniversal Mother, she offers us a tender, evocative collection of grief and empathy in song. Her miraculous voice is the vessel—the broken, sacred voice of Mother Ireland.
Keiji Inafune
Authors: Schartmann Andrew 
Published: December 2024

This book explores Keiji Inafune’s unique and controversial approach to video game design by breaking down his prolific output into seven key concepts.
Keiji Inafune is a polarizing figure in the video game community. While some view his work on Capcom’sMega Manseries as a pivotal contribution to the gaming industry, others question his very claim to the title of game designer. No matter one’s stance, however, Inafune’s work inspires passionate discussions about video game design and its history.
In this book, Andrew Schartmann explores seven core principles that permeate Inafune’s output and constitute his creative “voice.” He also draws on Inafune’s controversial persona to probe the very definition of “video game designer”—a term problematized by the collaborative aspect of game design and the industry’s Wonka-esque obsession with secrecy. With high-profile games likeMega Man,Street FighterandResident Evil, Inafune's repertoire provides an ideal lens through which to explore the nuts and bolts of game design and the many forces that shape it.
SNHG15 is involved in the progression of atherosclerosis through targeted regulation of miR-370-3p and bioinformatics analysis
Authors: Pan Wan , Zhou Yan , Zhang Fan , Zhang Yingying , Li Wei , Li Chengpeng , He Liqun 
Published: December 2024

IntroductionThis study aimed to explore the expression of SNHG15 in atherosclerotic population and further evaluate the regulatory mechanism of SNHG15 in AS.Material and methodsqRT-PCR was used to detect the level of SNHG15 in serum samples. An in vitro cell model was constructed using 50 µg/ml ox-LDL-induced VSMCs. Transwell, CCK-8 assay and ELISA were used to detect the migration, proliferation, phenotypic transformation, and inflammatory reaction of the cell model. The interaction between SNHG15 and miR-370-3p was verified by the luciferase reporter gene. Pearson analysis was used to assess the correlation between SNHG15 and miR-370-3p. The target genes of miR-370-3p and their functions were evaluated by bioinformatics analysis.ResultsThe expression of SNHG15 in the AS group and ox-LDL-induced VSMCs group were upregulated (p < 0.001), while miR-370-3p was decreased (p < 0.001). In vitro studies showed that inhibition of SNHG15 can obviously weaken the proliferation, migration, phenotypic transformation, and inflammation of VSMCs induced by ox-LDL (p < 0.01). Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter gene confirmed that miR-370-3p was the downstream target gene of SNHG15. Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that miR-370-3p was negatively regulated by SNHG15 (r = –0.6998, p < 0.001). Bioinformatics analysis indicated that miR-370-3p had 160 potential target genes, whose functions were mainly related to cell cycle and cell adhesion, and were mainly concentrated in the MAPK signaling pathway. Further analysis showed that the downstream target gene of miR-370-3p was FOXO1.ConclusionsSNHG15 mediated cell proliferation, migration, phenotypic transformation, and inflammation response via inhibiting miR-370-3p in ox-LDL-induced VSMCs.
