Of Men and Monsters

Evolutionary psychology has offered a way of thinking about gender differences in sex, desire, and romance that has been tremendously influential. The standard narrative has infiltrated some of the most popular self-help books (such as John Gray’s Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) and has been perpetrated so relentlessly that it has become part of the conventional wisdom of our time. Mari Ruti, a professor of critical theory at the University of Toronto, isn’t buying it. ... She blows giant holes in some of the most influential studies academics cite in support of the standard narrative. ... She shows readers what is exaggerated in the standard narrative and what is marginalized or ignored. ... In a bravura analysis, Ruti shows how the stereotyping and stigmatizing of single people (including single parents) is part of the package of evolutionary psychology and its standard narrative. So is the glorifying of traditional marriage. ... The Age of Scientific Sexism is a smart, compelling, thoughtful read.

Action Cinema Since 2000 is a trail-blazing, fist-pumping, butterfly kick of a book that will change the way action is conceptualized in cinema studies. With a dream team of editors, and a stellar list of contributors, this book diversifies understandings of action in its careful attention to film production, industry developments, socio-political issues, and cinema aesthetics in an ever-evolving global mediascape. Making the case for action cinema as a mode, rather than a genre, Action Cinema Since 2000 reveals its complexity and nuance.

"An intriguing exploration of multiple conjunctures and disjunctures in the unpredictable relationships between identity and music, the chapters in this volume consistently surprise the reader by demonstrating how endless innovation and creativity produce unexpected musical fusions, which nevertheless 'make sense' when seen in retrospect and from the point of view of the music-makers and their audiences." - Peter Wade, author of Music, Race and Nation: Música Tropical in Colombia

This is a book that sets out to examine why and how it is that national courts receive and apply EU non-discrimination law in very different ways. Mulder offers a fascinating answer to this question, showing how national legal, cultural, and political factors shape the way national courts grapple with direct and indirect discrimination on the grounds of sex and sexual orientation. But in the course of this, Mulder also gives an account of the inseparability of harmonization processes from national legal, cultural, and political factors; a rich comparative analysis of legal culture; and a normative theory of gender equality and an assessment of the extent of its pursuit and realization in practice. The book could be very valuably read for any of these contributions alone.Take all these strands together, and the result is a brilliantly insightful and inspiring read.

Taken together, the essays collected in this book present a timely overview of the state of play of harmonised European contract law. For readers who are new to the field, such as students of transnational or European contract law, the book provides a fine introduction to the main themes and problems of harmonisation. For readers familiar with the field, the book confirms what lessons have been learnt since Ole Lando first proposed the creation of a set of Principles of European Contract Law. The creation of a European Civil Code, which was once a dream of some scholars in the field, has not come to be.

Marco has produced a scholarly work accessible to a wide audience, from academics to artists and music lovers. His unique multidisciplinary background has given life to an inspiring text where the voice of the self-proclaimed 'eternal amateur' Bruno Bozzetto can be heard throughout. The book also offers a terrific short history of animation production in Italy from its conception to the '70s of Allegro non Troppo. In just a few pages Marco manages to capture the joys and tribulations of the artists and artisans who adopted animation as a creative language that allowed them to extend their artistic search beyond the canvas. A remarkable accomplishment!
