Revolutionary Emotions : The Roots of Revolutionary Waves
Revolutionary Emotions proposes a novel emotional theory of revolutionary diffusion and success and argues that emotional mobilization is at the root of both.For centuries, revolutionaries spoke of the emotional arousal--the anger, hope, and the jettisoning of fear--that motivated their participation in revolt.Studies of revolutions, however, rarely give these emotional narratives the power that actors themselves recount.This book argues that revolutionary waves, including the 1848 revolts and the Arab Uprisings, cannot be explained without the emotional arousal that motivated potential revolutionaries to imitate neighboring revolts.The shared identity of revolutionaries across borders leads to a shared emotional arousal and adoption of protest frames and methods.Absent this shared identity, revolutions are unlikely to cause sufficient emotional resonance to spur imitators across borders.In addition to a shared identity, previous history of protests makes diffusion more likely, as seasoned activists capitalize on this emotional jolt to mobilize against their regimes.The emotional power of the crowds is tangible--if difficult to measure--and influences the decisions of key elite players, including the military, on whether to allow the regime to fall. By grounding the theory in the emotional narratives of revolutionaries and by breaking down the various dichotomies that plague the study of revolutions--structure versus agency, and domestic versus international--Revolutionary Emotions provides the first coherent theory of revolutionary diffusion and success.

Revolutionary Sonnets
Redesigned and reissued in 2017 to celebrate the 'Burgess Centenary' - 100 years of Anthony Burgess.Revolutionary Sonnets and Other Poems captures the full range and achievement of Anthony Burgess's poetry and verse.It is as daring, original and inventive as the name suggests.The work explores themes of violence and love, pretensions and emotion, sex and war and is both sobering, and hysterically funny.The author of major novels, essays and reviews, the lecturer whose dazzling take on T.S.Eliot's The Waste Land changed our reading of the poem, is - like Eliot himself - a prosodic genius and a musical aficionado.Here are extracts from Burgess's translations of the librettos of Carmen, Oberon and others; of verse dramas including Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus the King, Chatsky; and his original musicals Trotsky's in New York!, Mozart and the Wolf Gang and A Clockwork Orange: A Play with Music among others.Here too are his wonderful translations of the Roman dialect poet Giuseppe Belli, extracts from his verse epic Moses, the complete poems of F.X. Enderby, occasional poems for Vladimir Nabokov and Ogden Nash...And we encounter the poems of young John Burgess Wilson, from the Manchester student journal The Serpent. Add to this the autobiographical poem 'The Sword', his New York Times verses about the Apollo II moon landing, a verse fragment from his abandoned novel It is the Miller's Daughter - his fans and new readers will be left with a sense of the scale, wit and accomplishment of one of the great creative originals of the twentieth century.

Revolutionary Letters
By turns a handbook of countercultural living, a manual for street protest, and a feminist broadside against the repressive state apparatus, Revolutionary Letters is a modern classic, as relevant today as it was at its inception, 50 years ago. During the tumult of 1968, Beat poet Diane di Prima began writing her ‘letters’, poems filled with a potent blend of utopian anarchism and Zen-tinged ecological awareness that were circulated via underground newspapers and stapled pamphlets.First published in 1971 by Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s City Lights in the US, di Prima would go on to publish four subsequent editions, expanding the collection each time.During the last years of her life, di Prima got to work on the final iteration of this lifelong project, collecting all of her previously published ‘letters’ and adding the new work, poems written from 2007 up to the time of her death in October 2020.

Was Adolf Hitler a revolutionary?
Adolf Hitler can be considered a revolutionary in the sense that he led a radical and extreme political movement that sought to overthrow the existing order and establish a new, authoritarian regime. His rise to power and the transformation of Germany into a totalitarian state represented a significant departure from the status quo. However, his goals were ultimately regressive and destructive, seeking to impose a racist and expansionist ideology that led to widespread suffering and devastation. While he was a transformative figure in history, his revolution was ultimately a force for evil rather than progress.

Revolutionary Recognition
Revolutionary Recognition represents a major contribution to contemporary political theory.It argues that human emancipation is only possible in a society characterised by 'mutual recognition'.In present-day political theory, the term 'recognition' has become popular and widely discussed, but has become synonymous with reformist scenarios, such as social democratic politics and the politics of identity. Richard Gunn and Adrian Wilding undertake a comprehensive critique of existing understandings of recognition, particularly those of Axel Honneth and Charles Taylor, returning ‘recognition’ to its original meaning in the work of Hegel and Marx, and showing how mutual recognition has revolutionary rather than merely reformist implications.Gunn’s and Wilding’s work is unapologetically political and introduces a new principle – 'mutual recognition' – around which radical politics can organise.This book is a ground-breaking contribution to left wing theory and is relevant as both a scholarly text and a rallying cry to the Left.

Revolutionary Messages
Published here in its entirety in English, Artaud’s Revolutionary Messages collects Antonin Artaud’s political, aesthetic and philosophical writings during his travels to Mexico in 1936.

MGA : The Revolutionary MG
The MGA truly marked a revolution in MG sports car design, with its appearance quite unlike any previous production car from the celebrated British marque. Entering production in the summer of 1955, it broke with the time-honoured tradition of narrow-gutted, flat-sides, upright styling, with the distinctive large grille, exposed headlamps, separate wings and sharply cut-off tail that had serviced the majority of MG sports cars for well over thirty years. Many die-hard MG enthusiasts of the time were understandably outraged, but the decision to break with tradition proved to be a good one: over 100,000 cars were produced over the model's seven-year lifetime. This book, from celebrated author David Knowles covers: the circumstances that led to the momentous decision to amek such a fundamental design change; the production, publicity and evolution of each and every MGA variant from launch in 1955 to the end of production in 1962, with specification tables for each model; profiles of the people who had crucial roles in the development of the MGA and finally, the largely untold story of overseas assembly in Australia, Ireland, Mexico and South Africa.

Why was Copernicus' teaching revolutionary?
Copernicus' teaching was revolutionary because it challenged the widely accepted geocentric model of the universe, which placed the Earth at the center of the solar system. Instead, Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center and the Earth and other planets orbiting around it. This fundamentally changed the way people understood the cosmos and laid the groundwork for the scientific revolution. Copernicus' teachings also sparked a shift in the way people thought about their place in the universe, leading to a reevaluation of traditional beliefs and the development of modern astronomy.
