With an acerbic wit, Kiernan unpicks the doctrines and realities of colonial warfare. Europe was fond of parading its concept of ‘civilized war’, he observes, but almost everything could be tolerated if it was deemed necessary for the upholding of prestige. Guerrilla insurgency, he adds, ultimately became one of the most sophisticated branches of the art of war. Of all the reasons for an interest in the colonial wars of modern times, Kiernan argues, the best is that they are still going on, openly or disguised. European Empires from Conquest to Collapse is a landmark attempt to see clearly what empire entailed, instead of resting content with legend or fantasy. With a foreword by Tariq Ali, author of Winston His Times, His Crimes and The Forty-Year War in A Chronicle Foretold .

Exciting new developments in brain science are opening up these debates, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers. This book clarifies the potentially confusing arguments and clearly describes the major theories, with illustrations and lively cartoons to help explain the experiments. Topics include vision and attention, theories of self, experiments on action and awareness, altered states of consciousness, and the effects of brain damage and drugs. This lively, engaging, and authoritative book provides a clear overview of the subject that combines the perspectives of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience--and serves as a much-needed launch pad for further exploration of this complicated and unsolved issue.

Furthermore, it presents major new insights into topics such as the physiology of planktonic microbes and their role in ocean processes; the impacts of rising CO2 levels and climate change on the microbial community structure and ocean processes; the evolution of viruses, organelles, and eukaryotic life; interactions of microbes with plastic pollution; and emerging diseases of marine life and their control. All chapters have been significantly expanded, with full colour diagrams, illustrations, and boxes to aid students’ interest and understanding. Novel pedagogy is designed to encourage students to explore current high-profile research topics. This is the only textbook addressing such a broad range of topics in the specific area of marine microbiology, now a core topic within broader marine science degrees. ‘Deep diving into a sea of microbes and their infinite impacts on human life, Professor Munn once again gifts us with the most authoritative textbook in the field, inspiring the next generation of marine microbiologists’.
