Girl Genius Volume 10: Agatha H and the Guardian Muse TP

"This groundbreaking book records the intellectual struggles of a diverse and distinguished group of scholars as they come to grips with the changes in knowledge production, and modes of research communication, engendered by contemporary information and communications technology. The book performs a major service in placing the phenomenon of networks - their potentialities and also their dangers - squarely on our intellectual agenda."D.C. Phillips, Professor Emeritus of Education and Philosophy, Stanford University"In this book, a rich array of international scholars in the philosophy and history of education address a pressing concern in contemporary educational research&nbsp; and educational practice: the impact of information technology and networks.&nbsp; The authors are strikingly successful, both in explicating the effects of these changes on both domains and in subverting these effects by pointing out the ironies and continuities lodged beneath technology's veneer of utility and novelty."David F. Labaree, Professor of Education, Stanford University

Ant and Honey Bee: A Pair of Friends in Winter

&#8220;Di Robilant paints a vivacious picture of the Napoleonic age.&#8221;  &#8212;The New Yorker&#8220;What an amazing life, what a great story! And it's so deftly told by Lucia's great-great-great-great-grandson, who rummaged through his family's papers and found genuine treasure.&#8221; &#8212;The Washington Post Book World&#8220;Fascinating. . . . As with many engaging tales, this one proved elusive and complex-perfect fodder for a historian of di Robilant's imaginative bent.&#8221; &#8212;W Magazine&#8220;A rare treat. . . . Filled with the pageantry of the aristocracy and the political intrigue of countries at war. . . . History buffs should add this volume to their list of must-reads.&#8221; &#8212;The Free Lance-Star (Newark)&#8220;Lucia in the Age of Napoleon is less a biography than a ghost story; unsettling, exciting, almost unbelievable in its immediacy. Lucia will become as vital a part of Venetian history as Casanova, or Byron himself, or any of the Mocenigo doges who lie entombed in San Giovani e Paulo, &#8216;each face finer & more beautiful than the other&#8217;, as Effie Ruskin put it, &#8216;even in old age&#8217;.&#8221;  &#8212;Frances Wilson, Sunday Telegraph&#8220;Lucia's life is an inspired choice for a parable of the end of the Venetian republic &#8230; Her letters to her [sister Paolina] paint Napoleon's Europe in all its grand and bloody colours &#8230; Andrea Di Robilant's strengths are in his portraits of Venetians during their city's worst times. He's not afraid to criticise Venice for the feckless policy of unarmed neutrality, the tepid resistance and the gibbering compliance that left her vulnerable to the steel-trap war-machines of France and Austria. Venice's mistake, like Lucia's, was to believe that she was beloved. For Napoleon, Venice was a trinket. As he passed through, he ransacked her art and archives with a sharp eye and a cool heart. To see that process personified in a flawed and fascinating woman makes for a deeply engaging read.&#8221; &#8212;Independent on Sunday&#8220;Well-composed . . . the author&#8217;s meticulous attention to personal detail yields compelling historical character sketches.&#8221; &#8212;Kirkus Reviews

"The book's heart [is] its literary criticism, labor that allows Amis to realize his most comfortable and integrated self: a novelist engaged in the scrupulous appreciation of others' style. . . . Amis cherishes the most cosmopolitan virtue of all, humor, [and] approvingly quotes Clive James's observation that 'common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing.' To be without one is to be without the other, a double lack that would doom a writer [to] the inability to rub up against human nature, to strike the sparks of awareness and style that here illuminate everything, especially the books in Amis&rsquo;s firm grip." &mdash;The New Yorker"The product of a ferocious yet sensitive mind . . . Amis's book is like hurtling down a black-diamond ski run. . . . His aim is so unerring that he resembles a figure out of Greek myth, firing arrows through ax-heads lined up in a row." &mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;Amis at his considered best, witty, erudite, and unafraid. . . . This collection is full of treasures.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian&#160;"Amis writes with buoyant and cutting authority. His vocabulary, cross-pollinated by his trans-Atlantic reading and life, is pinpoint and peppery; his syntax supple and ensnaring. The pleasure Amis takes in observation, cogitation, and composition is palpable, and he is acidly funny. . . Amis writes with agility, spirit, artistry, and a shrewd sense of the deepest implications."&#160;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Glorious. . . . Very few writers can surprise and delight in the way Martin Amis can.&rdquo; &mdash;The Telegraph&ldquo;Martin Amis is a great writer and a great reader. . . . He is our sure-footed mountain guide, leading us gleefully from one delight to the next.&rdquo; &mdash;The Sunday Times (London)&ldquo;A sharp, witty collection. . . . Literate, perspicacious, and thoroughly entertaining.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Certitude is the key to Amis&rsquo;s superhuman flair&mdash;and what makes this collection so compelling.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Statesman (London)&ldquo;Amis is infallibly a lucid, linguistically precise commentator. . . . A witty, welcome presence.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly

White Earth

"A little boy and his dog share experiences at home and out in the wider world, including a trip to another planet... Soft-focus watercolor-and-ink illustrations in subdued shades convey a dreamy atmosphere that makes the unfettered lives of this pair believable. The bond between the golden-haired duo is quietly conveyed with an imaginative charm that deepens on subsequent readings."

Good Boy

&ldquo;Gardner&rsquo;s artwork is&nbsp;whimsical and charming, and the cartoonish faces perfectly capture the extreme moods inherent in this age.

The story has a simple sweetness to it, championing family and friendship over hard-core action or fighting.&rdquo;

'This remarkable book sets out the theories of international trade of no fewer than eleven schools of thought, from mercantilism to feminism, taking in Ricardo, Marx, Veblen, Hayek, Keynes, Krugman and many others on the way. It is an outstanding example of what can be achieved by taking a pluralist approach to economic theory, and it should be read by anyone with the slightest interest in international economics.' — John E. King La Trobe University and Federation University Australia
‘Theories of International Economics offers a masterly and comprehensive guide in clear and accessible terms. It's quite a journey - from mercantilism to feminism - but in contrast with other surveys Lichtenstein keeps past histories and global diversities well in mind. In that way his book is balanced, critical and highly recommended.’ — Terrell Carver, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol, UK
‘This text is a rare gem. It has everything you need: historical context, thorough coverage of contemporary issues, careful treatment of orthodox and heterodox approaches and lucid prose throughout.’ — William M. Dugger, Professor of Economics, The University of Tulsa, USA
'This is just the type of pluralist textbook that is now increasingly in demand. Peter Lichtenstein offers an admirably broad-ranging account of several different approaches to international economics, building on an account of the history of thought in this area and of the real economic context. The text will be welcome, not only to students seeking an accessible pluralist text, but also to the general reader.' — Sheila Dow, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Stirling and Adjunct Professor of Economics at the University of Victoria, UK
‘The financial crisis has given support to the suspicion that economic orthodoxy has become stagnant and irrelevant. Lichtenstein’s book offers a unique and sorely-needed alternative that not only does a marvelous job in capturing the essence of mainstream and heterodox theory, but in a manner that is clear and set in the relevant historical, institutional, and social context. It should be on every pluralist's bookshelf.’ — John T. Harvey, Professor of Economics, Texas Christian University, USA
