A special limited edition of J. G. Ballard's cult, post-modern and
shocking novel I knew that Vaughan could never really die in a
car-crash, but would in some way be re-born through those twisted
radiator grilles and cascading windshield glass. The Collector's
Edition A former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the
expressway, Robert Vaughan gathers around him a collection of
alienated crash victims. Among them is James Ballard, our narrator,
who is drawn into a series of erotic atrocities, each more sinister
than the last. Vaughan craves the ultimate crash - a head on
collision of blood, semen, engine coolant and iconic celebrity.
Alongside Ballard's cult postmodern novel, this special edition,
edited by Chris Beckett, includes never-before-seen reproductions
of Ballard's annotated manuscript pages, essays, stories and
material that shine a new light on this modern masterpiece.

Sci-fi thriller from director Richard Clabaugh, set in a
future-world where mobile security cameras, commissioned to protect
citizens, become a grave threat. New legislation has been passed in
the USA called the 'Freedom of Observation Act', allowing
government surveillance cameras to film people's every move. The
cameras, or eyeborgs, seem to be doing their jobs, until police
agent, R.J. 'Gunner' Reynolds (Adrian Paul) and punk-rock rebel
Jarett start to notice people are disappearing and the robots are
involved. The pair must find a way to go to Jarett's uncle, the
President, and put an end to the silent tyranny of the robots.
The classic, heartrending story of a British boy's four year ordeal
in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War. Newly
reissued with an introduction by John Lanchester. Based on J. G.
Ballard's own childhood, this is the extraordinary account of a
boy's life in Japanese-occupied wartime Shanghai - a mesmerising,

of internment camps and death marches. It blends searing honesty
with an almost hallucinatory vision of a world thrown utterly out
of joint. Rooted as it is in the author's own disturbing experience
of war in our time, it is one of a handful of novels by which the
twentieth century will be not only remembered but judged. This
edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works,

Zadie Smith, Rivka Galchen, Hari Kunzru and Martin Amis) and
brand-new cover designs from the artist Stanley Donwood.

A prophetic and experimental masterpiece by J. G. Ballard, the
acclaimed author of 'Crash' and 'Super-Cannes'. This edition
includes explanatory notes from the author. The irrational,
all-pervading violence of the modern world is the subject of this
extraordinary tour de force. The central character's dreams are
haunted by images of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, dead
astronauts and car-crash victims as he traverses the screaming
wastes of nervous breakdown. Seeking his sanity, he casts himself
in a number of roles: H-bomber pilot, presidential assassin, crash
victim, psychopath. Finally, through the black, perverse magic of
violence he transcends his psychic turmoil to find the key to a
bizarre new sexuality. In this revised edition, Ballard has added
extensive annotation that help to unlock many of the mysteries of
one of the most prophetic, enigmatic and original works of the late
twentieth century. This edition is part of a new commemorative
series of Ballard's works, featuring introductions from a number of
his admirers (including Neil Gaiman, Iain Sinclair, James Lever and
Ali Smith) and brand-new cover designs.

When London is lost beneath the rising tides, unconscious desires
rush to the surface in this apocalyptic tale from the author of
'Crash' and 'Empire of the Sun', reissued here with a new
introduction from Martin Amis. Fluctuations in solar radiation have
melted the ice caps, sending the planet into a new Triassic Age of
unendurable heat. London is a swamp; lush tropical vegetation grows
up the walls of the Ritz and primeval reptiles are sighted,
swimming through the newly-formed lagoons. Some flee the capital;
others remain to pursue reckless schemes, either in the name of
science or profit. While the submerged streets of London are
drained in search of treasure, Dr Robert Kerans - part of a group
of intrepid scientists - comes to accept this submarine city and
finds himself strangely resistant to the idea of saving it. First
published in 1962, Ballard's mesmerising and ferociously
imaginative novel gained him widespread critical acclaim and
established his reputation as one of Britain's finest writers of
science fiction. This edition is part of a new commemorative series
of Ballard's works, featuring introductions from a number of his
admirers (including Robert Macfarlane, Martin Amis, James Lever and
Ali Smith) and brand-new cover designs.

From the author of `Crash' and `Cocaine Nights' comes an unnerving
tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control. Within
the concealing walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the
affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail
parties degenerate into marauding attacks on `enemy' floors and the
once-luxurious amenities become an arena for riots and
technological mayhem. In this visionary tale of urban
disillusionment society slips into a violent reverse as the
isolated inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges,
create a dystopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle. This
edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works,
featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including
Iain Sinclair, Ali Smith, Neil Gaiman and Martin Amis) and
brand-new cover designs.

This topical and conceptually innovative book proposes new
perspectives on the theme of materiality which, since the 1980s,
has animated work across and within disciplines in the Humanities
and Social Sciences. The particular focus of the chapters in this
volume are the materiality of knowledge produced through embodied
encounters between people, places, and things in the Pacific
Islands, New Guinea, Australia, and Myanmar. The authors consider
how materiality mediates the ways in which knowledge is generated
or acquired in encounters and becomes expressed through things and
material forms of inscription – charts and maps; journals,
letters, and reports; drawings; objects; human remains; legends,
cartouches, captions, labels, marginalia, and notes; and published
works of all kinds. The essays further address processes whereby
materialized knowledge is archived, conserved, distributed,
restricted, or dispersed – through serendipity, excess, loss,
silence, absence, and suppression. This book will be of great
interest to upper-level students, researchers, and academics in
History, Anthropology and Oceania Studies. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of History and
Anthropology.
