Evan Burfield (2002, PPE)
Regulatory Hacking: A Playbook for Startups (Portfolio, 2018)

Professor David Mayers (1974, International Relations)
America and the Postwar World: Remaking International Society, 1945-1956 (Routledge, 2018)
The main tide of International Relations scholarship on the first years after World War II sweeps towards Cold War accounts: these have emphasised the United States and USSR in a context of geopolitical rivalry. By contrast, this book examines a past that ran concurrent with the Cold War and interacted with it, but which usefully can also be read as separable.

Alexandra Turney (2012, English Language & Literature)
In Exile (Unbound, 2018)
A cross between The Bacchae and The Secret History, In Exile is a teenage Greek tragedy set in 20th century Rome. The novel explores the themes of identity, sexuality, friendship and belief, and is an original study of a powerless, melancholy god living in exile in the Eternal City. It’s also a book for anyone who has ever been enchanted by Rome, a city which, like Dionysus, belongs to the past, waiting uneasily on the threshold of the modern era.

Who has invented and perfected it?
