      • Cambridge University Press

        The Cambridge story began in 1534 when Henry VIII granted us letters patent, allowing the Press to print 'all manner of books'. Cambridge published its first book in 1584 making it the oldest publishing house in the world. Over the next four centuries the Press's reputation spread throughout Europe, based on excellence in scholarly publishing of academic texts, poetry, school books, prayer books and Bibles. Along the way Cambridge published ground-breaking works such as Newton's Principia Mathematica, Milton's Lycidas, Ernest Rutherford'sRadio-activity, and Noam Chomsky's Language and Mind. In the 20th century Cambridge extended that influence to become a global publisher. Today Cambridge has over 50 offices across the globe, employs over 2,000 people, publishes over 50,000 titles by authors from over 100 countries, and is still growing, bringing thousands of subjects and millions of ideas to the world.

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

        Terra (4). Afterglow

        by Jennifer Alice Jager

        Humankind’s battle against Nature is entering its decisive stage. Once more the explosive showdown of the apocalyptic TERRA series keeps the reader in breathless suspense. Humanity appears to be on the brink of destruction. Vast areas of land have been wiped off the face of the Earth, vegetation has reconquered its living space, but Terra Mater has by no means finished with the human bacillus. The hate-filled spirit of Nature that is claiming Younes’ body for itself, and wants to see all humans destroyed, gives him undreamt-of powers, but it also threatens to set him, his little sister and Chloe against one another. But there is even more at stake: if Younes and the other children from his visions (he had dreams about the other kids) do not stop Terra Mater soon from fulfilling her plans, every single human being will disappear from the planet. In order to prevent that from happening, they must come face to face with raging Mother Earth, and must not only conquer their fear but must also look Death in the eye.
