The End of Conceit is a treatise on the grand failure of Western conceit - even with itself, let alone the irresistible plurality of the world rising around it. Patrick Chabal has written a most elegant denunciation and a most provocative and persuasive pathway to a more egalitarian global future.

'I thoroughly recommend [the book] to historians of thought as well as philosophers interested in economic issues and economists interested in some of the most fascinating strands of thoughts in economics. ' - European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 6, 1999'This book is accessible and thought-provoking as well as being highly eclectic in terms of the disciplines covered[A] superb work. ' - Economics and Philosophy, 15, 1999'This is an excellent book[The book] is closely argued but very clearly written, thus making it accessible to non-specialists. No one working in the area can fail to learn from it. ' - Philosophical Books, 41, 2000'an impressive critique which should give defenders of the market on both the left and right pause for thought. ' - Journal of Applied Philosophy, 16, 1999'[I]f his [next book] is written with the same forensic logic and erudition as The Market, [it] will be another outstanding contribution to British social theory. ' - Economy and Society, 30, 2001'O'Neill's critique of liberal arguments for markets is substantial and deserves to be widely read. ' - Capital and Class, 71, 2000'... well argued and thought provoking... this introductory work is encyclopaedic. Readers will find it a useful reference source , even when courses are not constructed around it.  This reference function is enhanced by a massive bibliography... students scrabbling for books on a limited reading list will be grateful.' - Political Studies'... neatly executed... student readership will find this a reliable and useful resource.' - Political Studies

'Dinar and Albiac have produced a volume of enormous importance. The contributors represent a wealth of experience in the 'water game', and they share with us the conceptual and empirical insights pertinent to the crafting of coherent water policy in various settings and circumstances.'
Daniel W. Bromley, University of Wisconsin-Madison 

'Dinar and Albiac have brought together an excellent set of papers using a game theoretic approach to analyse how policies affect the strategies of water users and managers around the world.

"[A] marvelous new book." -- Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker"With a flavor reminiscent of Daniel Boorstin's  The Discoverers, The World of Caffeine tells an intriguing history of a drug that many people seem unable to live without. The book's engaging, easy style allows readers to zip through it like a jolt of good java, or savor it slowly like a good cup of tea." -- The Washington Post Book World"The alchemists of old only dreamed of turning dross into gold, but the scientists who followed them succeeded in converting caffeine into ideas.  In this new information age the conversion continues at an even faster pace, and this very useful book helps us to understand how it all happened." -- James Trager, author of The  Food Chronology  and The People's Chronology"This well-researched and entertaining book, The World of Caffeine, contains a wealth of facinating cultural and historical andcdotes and scientific facts which provide a unique perspective on the world's most commonly used psychoactive drug." -- Roland R. Griffiths, PhD, a leading caffeine researcher, John Hopkins University School of Medicine"With impressive felicity, Weinberg and Bealer marshal the forces of history, chemistry, cultural anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and even a little religion to tell caffeine's complicated story." -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer"...a magnificently researched book filled with revelations about what has become, for many of us, a routine part of each day's consumption." -- The Wall Street Journal"Readers who, like Prufrock, measure out their lives in coffee spoons will appreciate the background on their drug of choice provided by science writers Weinberg and Bealer." -- Booklist"A savory and spirited cultural history of caffeine...Well- researched, briskly written, full-bodied, and flavorful." -- Kirkus Reviews"From early warnings against the evils of caffeine to curiosities about coffeehouse culture, this book holds everything we ever wanted to know -- and then some -- about the drug that helps many of us keep up with the fast pace of our lives." -- Boston Herald"[Weinberg and Bealer] make the most of their learned backgrounds to ponder all manner of facts and fictions about the bean and beverage." -- Toronto Star"This well researched book examines the myth of caffeine and gives an excellent insight into this fascinating product, its orgins and history." -- Thomas Meinl, President, The Julius Meinl Group, Vienna"[Weinberg and Bealer] remind us in their marvelous new book . . . there is no drug quite as effortlessly adaptable as caffeine, the Zelig of chemical stimulants." -- Malcolm Gladwell,The New Yorker"The text is rich with information, yet it is easy and pleasant to read." -- Peter B. Lewis,PhD,   New England Journal of Medicine"Weinberg and Bealer provide an in-depth scholarly work that is remarkably readable and informative.

'This book critically synthesises the best of the debates in feminist theory over several decades. Written with agility and depth, the sociological engagements with national and global political agendas provide a much needed gender perspective in reconnecting the role of education with citizenship. I do not know of any book that covers in such depth such a gamut of topics, both at the domestic and international level, establishing the importance of researching the gendered citizen. Madeleine Arnot has offered us a remarkable research agenda, and insightful research findings, that will guide the debate and thinking on the gendered citizen for years to come. This is the kind of book that is a real tour de force in educational theory.' - Professor Carlos Alberto Torres, University of California Los Angeles, USA
'It is clear from Arnot’s work that gender sensitive and critical narratives of globalization and neoliberal educational reform have significant implications for citizenship education as it relates to engaging with both the redistributive and recognition elements of social justice, not only in terms of global poverty and the impact of transnational corporations/markets, but also in terms of addressing the politics of recognition vis-à-vis diversity and difference within and across nation states. This book is useful particularly in terms of its employment of theory in elaborating a political and gendered analysis of global citizenship education.' - Wayne Martino, University of Western Ontario, Educational Review Journal 2012
