Amit Ranjan offers an important perspective on water disputes in South Asia triggered by the Partition of the Subcontinent, deepened by the regions inability to depoliticise trans-boundary river water management, and sharpened by the new factors like climate change, and contributes to a better understanding of a major source of regional conflict in South Asia.

’...this should prove to be a very useful volume...Students of nationalism should find this book of particular interest.’ Professor Michael Billig, Loughborough University, UK  ’...provide(s) much information from different historical, social and political contexts in which nationalism has survived and flourished in Europe...the book made me realize the great diversity on which the European nation-state structures are laid...’ The Ethnic Conflict Research Digest  ’...a veritable compendium...surpasses similar published works...an invaluable top shelf graduate textbook.’ Nationalism and Ethnic Politics  'This volume undoubtedly presents a rich array of useful data and insightful observations, and, not the least because of an excellent index, commends itself to the contemporary historian as a sort of compendium.' Journal of European Integration History

“The papers in this edited volume, which grew out of a 2010 University College London international archaeology seminar, are organized around three broad themes: spatial analysis, spatial modeling, and spatial experience. Roughly one-third of the book is devoted to each topic. The first set of three papers represents inductive, exploratory approaches to archaeological spatial analysis. The second set comprises four chapters offering more deductive and model-driven approaches. These first seven chapters of the book are the most interesting and, arguably, the most useful to the majority of analysts. The final set of three articles concerns the analysis of viewsheds, visualscapes, and 3D architectural models....Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students/faculty/professionals.” —CHOICE

The Sparkle Effect

’Retelling several times the ritual of destruction-reconstruction of a single uninhabited village, Koensler gently unpeels almost Borgesian layers of illusions and misconceptions about conflicts staged by multiple actors for different effects. A writing experiment in minimalist details sketching complex structures, and a meditation on styles of personal and existential activism. Not for those who already know the answers.’ Michael M.J. Fischer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and author of Anthropological Futures  ’The Israel-Palestinian conflict has been often portrayed as a zero-sum game where social activists fight vigilantly to promote peace and overcome local entrenched hostilities. In this sensitive ethnography Alexander Koensler teaches us to break from common-sense assumptions about "the conflict" and about the ways we understand social movements in general and Israeli activism in particular. The book will be of great interest to those interested in the Middle-East. The analysis of social movements and activism will be of use to anthropology students as well as to social scientists concerned with questions of community and processes of ethnicisation.’ Pnina Motzafi-Haller, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel  'Israeli-Palestinian Activism: Shifting Paradigms is a brave, ambitious and insightful ethnographic investigation focused on the various types of contemporary activism occurring throughout the Negev/Naqab Desert. Written by Alexander Koensler, a faculty member at Queen's University, Belfast, the book predominantly focuses on the plight of the Negev Bedouin and their ongoing struggles for civic equality, land rights, and the provision of basic services to unauthorized Bedouin villages.'

’... this collection of some of [Domenico Sella's] classic essays spanning nearly 50 years represents an effective panoramic view of his varied research interests, and gives the Anglophone readership a good flavour of his sophisticated revisionist views... Once again Ashgate’s Variorum series has provided its readers with a collection of undisputable value [...] both for research and teaching purposes.’ Economic History Review  '...the lasting appeal of this collection is the strength of his argument that is woven throughout the essays. Each new idea or assertion...is backed up by a multitude of complex quantitative evidence that begs for close examination and consideration...Sella has left no archive unturned.'

'Illuminating the transnational linkages and interconnections that shape higher education in the global age, the contributors offer critical, insightful, and erudite assessments of how universities around the world are adapting to--and resisting--global neoliberal pressures. Comprehensive and accessible, this collection is a transdisciplinary tour de force!' - Manfred B. Steger, Professor of Sociology, University of Hawai'i-Manoa & Honorary Professor of Global Studies, RMIT University'This book signals a maturation of the global studies of higher education. The authors break from the teleological pro-globalisation and anti-globalisation narratives (the mirror of each other) that still dominate much of the commentary. They provide us with generous theoretical tools and vivid observations that help explain us to understand the global, national and local spaces that we are in—and the spaces that we can make for ourselves.' - Simon Marginson, Director of the ESRC/HEFCE Centre for Global Higher Education, and Professor of International Higher Education at the University College London Institute of Education
