Thanks for this, Karl -- this is interesting and important I think.  I mean as an indicator of cultural tides within academia.

Radical Thinkers III - new from Verso

 

Ahmad, Balibar, Althusser, Baudrillard, Bhaskar, Marcuse, Ross, Sartre, 
Derrida, Therborn, Virilio, Zizek .

 

Following the success of the first two sets of Radical Thinkers 
(published November 2005 and January 2007) Verso is pleased to announce 
a new set of twelve titles in this very well received series.

 

The third set features some of the most notable authors in the Verso 
canon, including Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Baudrillard and Slavoj Zizek, 
and makes available once again, long out of print titles by author such 
as Roy Bhaskar and Aijaz Ahmad.

 

Beautifully designed, with new liquorice allsorts-like jackets, the 
latest twelve titles are available at the same competitive price as the 
previous set: £6.99/$12.95 each.

 

"A golden treasury of theory" - Eric Banks, BOOKFORUM

 

"Verso's beautifully designed Radical Thinkers series, which brings 
together seminal works by leading left-wing intellectuals, is a 
sophisticated blend of theory and thought. The 12 authors whose writings 
are included in the series have worked tirelessly to expose the 
mechanisms by which culture and knowledge are manufactured, managed and 
controlled." - Ziauddin Sardar, NEW STATESMAN
