Profile Books - Autumn 2013 catalogue

SINCE PROFILE opened its doors on April Fool’s Day 1996 theworld has changed a lot and we have too. But we have always strivedto uphold our ambition to publish books of the very highest standardthat stretch the mind, fire the imagination, and entertain the reader –and to publish few enough to do each one justice.

Some people assert that reading is more popular than ever. If true,this is great news. Others claim that books (or long-form reading asthe parlance has it) are in decline. We are not sure. What is certain isthat more than ever people need books that are stimulating andmake a difference. We believe the books in this catalogue will doboth. The list is certainly diverse, with books on history, travel, socialobservation, sport, business ideas, science, fiction (for teenagers andreaders of ghost stories) and even a guide to manners. Read some, orall, of these books, and we guarantee that you will see the world alittle differently.

Happy reading.

A Cause for CarollingThe history of Christmas carols

A story of music, politics and religion – accompanying a ten-part Radio 4 series

From the Coventry Carol of the mystery plays to the Dickensian world of ‘Oh Little Town ofBethlehem’; from the bawdy ‘Here we come a-wassailing’ to the disapproval of Oliver Cromwell,the Christmas carol holds a mirror up to society.But despite appealing to so many people for solong, few know their colourful history.

Pagans dancing round stone circles at the winterSolstice, early Christians chanting in Christmasprocessions, St Francis of Assisi shaking woodennativity figures in time to music, and villagersbeing charged to hear festive songs onChristmas Eve: these merry carollers allcontributed to the making of the genre.

In A Cause for Carolling, published to coincidewith a landmark BBC Radio 4 series, acclaimedacademic and radio presenter Jeremy Summerlytells the story of one of the best-loved musicalforms of all.

Jeremy Summerly is Sterndale Bennett Lecturer in Music at the Royal Academy of Music. He hasconducted over 40 CD recordings, received theEuropean Cultural Prize in 1995 and made his Promsconducting début in 1999. He is also a freelance recordproducer and writer/presenter for BBC Radio 3 and 4.

NothingInsights from the New Scientist into the amazing world of nothingness

Nothing compares to the fascinating history – of nothing

Nothing needs a rethink: all too easily, we ignoreor dismiss the fascinating possibilities ofemptiness and non-existence. But withoutnothing, or rather what we’ve long taken to benothing – we’d be nowhere. For centuries,scientists have known that it may be the key tounderstanding everything, from why particleshave mass to the expansion of the universe.

The start (and end) of the universe, dark energy,superconductivity, consciousness – all thesescientific issues are players in the dramasurrounding nothing. Including writing by IanStewart on zero, Marcus Chown on the Big Bang,Nigel Henbest on deep space, Michael Brookson the placebo effect, Paul Davies on the originof time and David E. Fisher on noble gases, thiswill enlighten anyone interested in the cuttingedge of science – or simply in the greatestmysteries of our world. Shakespeare had it rightall along: it’s time to make much ado aboutnothing.

Avidly read for over fifty years, New Scientist is thebestselling and fastest-growing science magazine in theworld. Jeremy Webb is its Editor-in-Chief.

From the first fresh sheet of a hipster’s Moleskinenotebook to the last gnawed biro lurking at thebottom of a briefcase, stationery is an inescapablepart – and pleasure – of our lives.

In a quiet way, the inventors of Sellotape, thehighlighter and Tipp-Ex have changed our lives;this book, for anyone who’s ever had a favouritepencil case or pondered the evolution of deskorganisers, restores them to their rightful place inour hearts and minds.

The First World War followed a period ofsustained peace in Europe during which peopletalked with confidence of prosperity, progress andhope. But in 1914, Europe walked into acatastrophic conflict which killed millions, bled itseconomies dry, shook empires and societies topieces and fatally undermined Europe’s dominanceof the world. It could have been avoided up to thelast moment – so why did the war happen?

Beginning in the early twentieth century, andending with the assassination of Archduke FranzFerdinand, award-winning historian MargaretMacMillan uncovers the huge political andtechnological changes, national decisions and –just as important – small moments of humanmuddle and weakness that led Europe from peaceto disaster. This masterful exploration of howEurope chose its path towards war will change andenrich how we see this defining moment in ourhistory as we approach its hundredth anniversary.

Margaret MacMillan is Professor of InternationalHistory and Warden of St Antony’s College at theUniversity of Oxford. She is the author of The Uses andAbuses of History (Profile) and Peacemakers: The ParisPeace Conference of 1919 and Its Attempt to End War,which won the Samuel Johnson Prize, the Duff CooperPrize and the Hessell-Tiltman Prize.

The Gods of OlympusThe unruly lives of the great Greek gods

Elegant and entertaining, this is the history of themost vibrant characters in classical civilisation.

Even in antiquity, the gods of Olympus were seen as cruel, over-sexed, mad, or just plain silly.And yet they were survivors: in Egypt, they began to resemble pharaohs; in Rome, they ledrespectable citizens in orgiastic rituals of drink andsex. Under Christianity and Islam they survived as demons, allegories and planets – until theytriumphantly re-emerged, in a Renaissance visionof ancient beauty. They travelled east along theSilk Route to the walls of cave-temples in China,and west, colonising the Americas. They featuredon Wedgwood teapots, attacked the poetHölderlin, haunted Nietzsche and visited Borgesin restless dreams.

Barbara Graziosi deftly traces the travels andtransformations of these pagan deities from thedistant past to the present, showing that the godsof Olympus remain potent symbols that help usto feel ourselves part of a broad and fascinatinghumanity.

Barbara Graziosi is Professor of Classics atDurham and Director, for the Arts and Humanities, of the Institute of Advanced Study. She has publishedwidely on classical literature and its reception, andregularly contributes to radio and TV programmes on the arts.

The Dark BoxConfession in the Catholic Church

Secrets of the confessional

In 1905, Pope Pius X decreed the greatest moralexperiment ever imposed on young Catholics in the history of their religion. He ordered thatchildren confess their sins to a priest from the age of seven, instead of the traditional age offourteen. He also advocated weekly rather thanannual confession. Confessors now hadunprecedented, unsupervised access to children in circumstances of extraordinary secrecy andintimacy. The initiative was to have a profoundand scandalous effect on generations of layCatholics and clergy throughout the twentiethcentury.

Against the background of the eventful 2000-yearsaga of confession’s history, John Cornwellexplains the repeated rise and fall of this powerfulritual, culminating in generations of psychologicaloppression of children and the clerical sexualabuse of minors. Based on wide ranging research,and hundreds of written reminiscences andinterviews, Cornwell reveals the untold story ofthe spiritual benefits of this ancient sacrament, its darker secrets and future prospects.

John Cornwell is the author of several controversialbestsellers including Hitler’s Pope and A Thief in theNight. He is a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge,where he directs the Science and Human DimensionProject. He writes regularly for the Sunday Times,Financial Times, New Statesman and Prospect.

The Riddle of the LabyrinthThe deciphering of Linear B and the discovery of a lost civilisation

The truth behind of one of ancient history’s greatest discoveries

From the discovery of a cache of ancient tabletsrecording a lost prehistoric language to thedramatic solution of the riddle more than fifty yearslater, the story of Linear B exerts a mesmerisingpull on the imagination.

But, until now, the full story of how an ancientlanguage was brought to life has been missing avital piece. Margalit Fox restores Alice Kober to herrightful place beside Arthur Evans, the intrepidVictorian classicist who discovered the script atKnossos and Michael Ventris, the dashing youngamateur who found the solution. Without her workLinear B, and the Mycenaean culture to which itheld the key, might still remain a mystery.

Drawing on Kober’s papers – made available onlyrecently – Fox reveals how you decipher an ancientscript when neither its language nor its alphabet isknown, and provides fascinating insights intofamous decipherments throughout history.

Margalit Fox is a senior writer at The New YorkTimes who was originally trained as a linguist. Her firstbook, Talking Hands: What Sign Language Revealsabout the Mind, follows an international team ofscientists studying the indigenous sign language of anisolated deaf community in the Middle East.
