March–April 2010 new release highlights from Inbooks

Vampires, burial & death
	Author/Editor: Paul Barber ISBN: 9780300164817 Publisher: Yale University Press Subject: Cultural Studies Description: In this engrossing book, Paul Barber surveys centuries of folklore about vampires and offers the first scientific explanation for the origins of the vampire legends. From the tale of a 16th century shoemaker from Breslau whose ghost terrorised everyone in the city, to the testimony of a doctor who presided over the dissection of a graveyard full of Serbian vampires, this book is fascinating reading.
Walpiri Dreamings: new recorded stories from the Aboriginal Elders of Central Australia
	Author/Editor: Translated by Peggy Rockman, Napaljarri & Lee Cataldi ISBN: 9780300165302 Publisher: Yale University Press Subject: Anthropology / Religion Description: This collection of 15 stories from Warlpiri elders reflects the importance of the Dreaming in all its manifestations. Originally published in 1995 but recorded and translated here in a new edition are stories rich with insight into Aboriginal spirituality and life.
On evil
	Author/Editor: Terry Eagleton ISBN: 9780300151060 Publisher: Yale University Press Subject: Philosophy / Literary Studies Description: For many liberal-minded thinkers today, and for most on the political left, evil is an outmoded concept. It implies too much of absolute judgements and metaphysical certainties to suit the modern age. In this book, Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defence of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artefact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world.
A reader on reading
	Author/Editor: Alberto Manguel ISBN: 9780300159820 Publisher: Yale University Press Subject: Literary Studies Description: In this major collection of his essays, Alberto Manguel argues that the activity of reading, in its broadest sense, defines our species. ‘We come into the world intent on finding narrative in everything’, writes Manguel, ‘landscape, the skies, the faces of others, the images and words that our species create’. Reading our own lives and those of others, reading the societies we live in and those that lie beyond our borders, reading the worlds that lie between the covers of a book are the essence of A reader on reading.
Zone of the marvellous: in search of the Antipodes
	Author/Editor: Martin Edmond ISBN: 9781869404475 Publisher: Auckland University Press Subject: History / Geography Description: Australia and New Zealand were imagined for thousands of years before they became real. This 4000-year history of the Antipodes in the Western imagination has an extraordinary intellectual and imaginative reach.
