1 Belfiore, Eleonora (ed)
Humanities in the twenty-first century : beyond utility
and markets / Eleonora Belfiore and Ana Upchurch.-- New
York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013.
xii, 256p. 22cm.
ISBN : 9780230366657.
001.3 BEL 140630
What is the value of the arts and humanities today? This
question points to a long and extensively discussed
dilemma. Eleonora Belfiore and Anna Upchurch have
compiled a collection of original essays that offer a
novel approach to tackling this difficult question. These
contributions offer examples that show that, rather than
relying on the narrowly utilitarian notion of -research
impact- that has developed within current educational
policies and debates, it may be more appropriate to look
at the ways in which arts and humanities research is
already engaged in collaborative endeavours, both within
academia and beyond, in order to address the big ethical,
political, technological and environmental challenges of
contemporary life.

2 Taft, John G
Stewardship : lessons learned from the lost culture of
Wall Street / John G Taft.-- Hoboken: John Wiley, 2012.
xx, 218p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781118190197.
174.9332 TAF 140626
By defining the attributes of authentic stewardship, this
book presents a path forward by analyzing the success of
Canadian banks in weathering the financial crisis,
evaluates the effectiveness of global financial reform
efforts in making the financial system safer, sounder,
and more secure, offers wealth management prescriptions
for individual investors, evaluates the potential of ESG
(environmental, social, and governance) investment
processes as a way to instill stewardship behaviors among
corporate CEOs (particularly at financial services firms)
and, ultimately, calls for a return to stewardship-s
core principles as the key to not only minimizing the
scope and consequences of future failures, but also to
addressing other societal challenges.

3 Sheridan, Michael J (ed)
Connecting spirituality and social justice :
conceptualizations and applications in macro social work
practice / Michael J Sheridan.-- London: Routledge, 2014.
ix, 216p. 25cm.
ISBN : 9780415836913.
261.83 SHE 140531
Jim Wallis, well-known justice advocate and author, has
stated that the two great hungers in the world today are
for spirituality and social justice. The contributions in
this edited collection highlight current developments in
this area, including emerging conceptual frameworks,
practice applications and research findings. Theoretical
approaches to understanding the link between spirituality
and justice are explored in analyses of alternative
models of social justice and justice orientations of
major faith traditions. The critical role of spirituality
in larger system change is illustrated through exemplars
of research on vulnerable populations, community
practice, legislative advocacy, development of social
movements, and ecological social work.

4 Datta, Ayona
Illegal city : space, law and gender in a Delhi squatter
settlement / Ayona Datta.-- Surrey: Ashgate, 2012.
xii, 198p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781409445548.
307.3364095456 DAT 140537
This book explores the relationship between space, law
and gendered subjectivity through a close look at an
-illegal- squatter settlement in Delhi. Since 2000, a
series of judicial rulings in India have criminalised
squatters as -illegal- citizens, -encroachers- and
-pickpockets- of urban land, and have led to a spate of
slum demolitions across the country. This book argues
that in this context, it has become vital to distinguish
between illegality and informality since it is those
-illegal- slums which are at the receiving end of a
-force of law-, where law is violently encountered wit.

6 Cook, Simon J
The Intellectual foundations of Alfred Marshall-s
economic science : a rounded globe of knowledge / Simon J
Cook.-- Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009.
xviii, 331p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780521760089.
330.157 COO 140628
This book provides a contextual study of the development
of Alfred Marshall’s thinking during the early years of
his apprenticeship in the Cambridge moral sciences.
Marshall’s thought is situated in a crisis of academic
liberal thinking that occurred in the late 1860s. His
crisis of faith is shown to have formed part of his wider
philosophical development, which saw him supplementing
Anglican thought and mechanistic psychology with Hegel’s
Philosophy of History. This philosophical background
informed Marshall’s early reformulation of value theory
and his subsequent wide-ranging reinterpretation of
political economy as a whole. The book concludes with the
suggestion that Marshall’s mature economic science was
conceived by him as but one part of a wider, neo-
Hegelian, social philosophy.

Philip of Spain - king of England : the forgotten

xv, 230p. 22cm.
ISBN : 9781848857162.
942.054092 PHI 140638
In this book, Harry Kelsey uncovers Philip-s life - from
his childhood and education in Spain, to his marriage to
Mary and the political maneuverings involved in the
marriage contract, to the tumultuous aftermath of Mary-s
death, which ultimately led to hostile relations between
Queen Elizabeth and Philip, culminating in the Armada.
Focusing especially on the period of Philip-s marriage to
Mary, Kelsey shows that Philip was, in fact, an active
King of England who took a keen interest in the rule of
his wife-s kingdom. Casting fresh light on both Mary and
Philip, as well as European history more generally, this
book will be essential reading for anyone interested in
the Tudor era.
