America is in trouble. Today’s young people seem destined to become the nation’s first generation poorer than their parents. A changing climate, dangerously overvalued financial markets and political instability (recent polling shows many Americans believe civil war is imminent) simultaneously threaten America. What has happened to us? What can we do about it? America in Crisis employs the new disciplines of cliodynamics and cultural evolution to explain how and why we have come to this place. Cliodynamics teaches that crises like this have happened before and stem from consequences of rising inequality. Cultural evolution provides the processes through which inequality and society in general change with time. The book tells the story of how and why America evolved from the previous crisis a century ago through a period of broadly shared prosperity and stability (both political and financial) to the current crisis. This story welds the ideas of cliodynamacists, evolutionary scientists, cultural historians, economists and political scientists into data-rich verbal and mathematical models illustrated with numerous charts and tables. From this synthesis come fresh insights concerning race relations, economics, foreign policy, and how addressing climate change can create a stronger and more prosperous America. The final chapter describes some ideas on how we might proceed going forward.

The only Japanese director to have won the Palme d'Or from Cannes more than once, and second only to Ozu Yasujiro in the number of times he has won the prestigious Kinema Jumpo Best One award, the late Imamura Shohei was one of Japan's leading and most controversial film directors. This book is one of the first to study all of Imamura's major films alongside his television and theatrical documentaries, focusing on his major themes and concerns. By giving shape to Imamura's career, the book positions him as a stylistic innovator as well as an ethnographic investigator into Japanese culture and tradition; the preeminent examiner of the hidden, barely repressed underpinnings of Japanese society.

Volume 2 of A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula brings to an end this collective work that aims at surveying the network of interliterary relations in the Iberian Peninsula. No attempt at such a comparative history of literatures in the Iberian Peninsula has been made until now. In this volume, the focus is placed on images (Section 1), genres (Section 2), forms of mediation (Section 3), and cultural studies and literary repertoires (Section 4). To these four sections an epilogue is added, in which specialists in literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the (sub)disciplines of comparative history and comparative literary history, search for links between Volumes 1 and 2 from the point of view of general contributions to the field of Iberian comparative studies, and assess the entire project that now reaches completion with contributions from almost one hundred scholars.
