We find ourselves in strange and difficult times, and recognise that many – if not all – of our colleagues across the academic world now find themselves dealing with new ways of working. Our vision seems all the more important at present: to publish the best academic books and journals that seek to promote understanding, stimulate debate and communicate scholarly ideas to the world. The new books and series you will find across these pages do just that, and I hope there is much here to inform, and in some cases entertain you (see the exploration of Monty Python in And Now for Something Completely Different and a cultural history of the werewolf film, Phases of the Moon p.4). You might also want to lose yourself in some beautiful books of Islamic art (see p.10–11). Meanwhile lecturers in linguistics will be delighted to see a new edition of Lyle Campbell’s Historical Linguistics (p.24) alongside a range of other textbooks. And anyone with an interest in thinking critically about the world and how we live in it will want to read Tristan Garcia’s We Ourselves as well as Etienne Balibar’s Spinoza, the Transindividual (p.28). In the world of politics, new books in the Intelligence, Surveillance and Secret Warfare series give much food for thought.
