’Davis argues his readings by deploying an impressive grasp of classical, medieval, and Renaissance mathematical and cosmological thought, and by scrupulous attention to the detail of the texts he studies.’ Modern Language review, Vol. 95, No. 4   ’...an interesting and challenging book.’ Helen Cooper, Medium Aevum Vol. LXIX   ’Davis’s thesis is exciting; it illuminates the literary articulations of an important dimension of early modern thinking.’ Shakespeare Survey  '... a thought -provoking study of the tensions between rationality and disorder in the years prior to the consolidation of Enlightenment models of uniform process and practice.'   Parergon  'There is much to recommend this (...), not least the exploration of how gender issues are employed within the narrative as a means of approaching other conceptual problems.'

A Monkeewrench Novel

Ice Cold Heart

Why do rebel groups in civil wars so often turn upon each other instead of focusing on their common enemy—the state?  In this insightful and meticulously researched book, Costantino Pischedda argues that inter-rebel violence is a strategic choice by the rebels.  It begins when powerful rebel groups see windows or opportunity to consolidate their position as the prime challenger to the state, or when weaker groups attack their rivals in a bid to “gamble for resurrection.” Conflict Among Rebels should be read by anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the dynamics and consequences of civil wars today.

&#9733; "A new entry in the canon of inspiring biographies about strong women. . . . Gorgeously realistic illustrations in watercolor, pen, and ink are offset by no more than four spare sentences on any given page. Details throughout the story will fascinate readers."&mdash;School Library Journal, Starred Review "Kate's Light is an unusual true story compellingly told."&mdash;BookPage "Caldecott Medalist McCully's vivid ink and watercolor spreads bring to life the storms and waves that made Walker's work necessary, and brim with visual information . . . An intrepid heroine in a lonely place, Walker had grit that makes for gripping reading."&mdash;Publishers Weekly  "Spires shows Walker as a quiet heroine meeting challenges calmly and efficiently. McCully's hallmark watercolors support this focus, whether depicting the cramped conditions on Robins Reef, the pattern of life at the lighthouse, Kate braving dangerous weather, and two spectacular seascapes." &mdash;The Horn Book  "In Spires' spirited telling, Kate Walker's professional achievement is less a tale of ambitiously upending gender expectations and more a demonstration of persistently demanding recognition of and remuneration for hard-earned skills. McCully's watercolor illustrations glide smoothly from homey interiors to roiling storms, capturing Kate hammering a massive warning bell in dense fog or chattering contentedly with friends in the sunshine."&mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books  "McCully's loose, sweeping, yet specific illustrations combine seamlessly with Spires' clear and engaging description . . . A distinctive selection that highlights an unknown heroine and her world as a lighthouse keeper."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews  "McCully's illustrations, rendered in pen, ink, and watercolor, help to bring this setting and time period to life for younger readers. . . . a good addition to women's history units."&mdash;Booklist

"…this excellent textbook would be a useful addition to a hospital library or personal library of a general surgeon or trainee." —Journal of Colon Cancer (for previous edition)"…The authors deserve significant credit for the quality and comprehensive coverage of diseases of this anatomical area." —Archives of Surgery (for previous edition)"…the best volume currently available that comprehensively covers the field of colon, rectal, and anal surgery. It has a very strong visual appeal and is well presented. This book will appeal strongly to colorectal surgeons, and is likely to become a standard in the personal medical libraries of this group." —Doody's Review Services (for previous edition)
"This edition, like the previous ones, has not only achieved but even surpassed the stated goals…. The text retains its logical and well-organized division of subjects and chapters. The entire breadth of day-to-day colon and rectal surgery practice is covered in depth with voluminous literature citations for reference….The subjects are covered in a clear, practical, and straightforward manner…colon and rectal surgeons of all levels will find this text useful. While the authors are both in North American institutions, surgeons in practice settings worldwide should find this text a useful addition to their libraries. I purchased this text based upon previous editions and I have not been disappointed by it." —Gary Dunn (Colon and Rectal Associates), World Journal of Surgery, for the Third Edition
"The whole textbook convinces the reader by many points: 1. Each important aspect of colorectal and anal surgery is shown with own chapters. 2. Every chapter illuminates its topic in an extraordinarily detailed way. 3. The quality of the pictures and figures is outstanding. 4. The writing style is worth reading. 5. All new developments are mentioned and adequately discussed. 6. The whole literature (in some chapters more than a thousand) is included. In summary, this new edition deserves the AMI Award of Excellence the same as its predecessor. Moreover, this textbook is for those who want to go deeper into the thematic of colorectal and anal surgery in every practical and theoretical sense." — A. J. Kroesen, Charité, Germany (International Journal of Colorectal Disease), for the Third Edition

Praise for The Congressional Experience, Fourth Edition
"There is no one who combines the practical and scholarly understanding of Congress as well as David Price.　 　At a time when too many Americans have all but given up on the first branch of government as a source of fixes for the nation’s biggest problems, the 16-term North Carolina lawmaker and political science professor reminds us why it still matters. He conveys the reality of the legislative experience, explains what it can do when at its best, and suggests remedies that ultimately point to us, America’s citizens."
--Judy Woodruff, Anchor and Managing Editor, The PBS NewsHour
"David Price was one of the foremost scholars of Congress before he became a member of the House. The Congressional Experience was a goldmine for students of Congress when it first came out, combining　in a unique way the best of political science with the invaluable insights of an ultimate insider. Every edition since has been more enriching. This fourth edition, filled with insights of how our politics more broadly, and those of Congress itself, have changed over the past sixteen years, and notably since Donald Trump became president, is the best yet, an extraordinary treat for anyone interested in how Congress works, what motivates its members, and how it can be better." 
--Norman Ornstein, resident scholar, The American Enterprise Institute.
"Three cheers for this new edition of The Congressional Experience!　 With deftness and thoughtfulness, David Price carries the story through the ups and downs, budgetary traumas, nasty polarization and the rest up through Obama and Trump, not to mention Covid-19.　 The book is illuminating on congressional structure and what to do about its difficulties.　 I haven't seen a better discussion of how to be a responsible legislator."　 
--David R. Mayhew, Sterling Professor of Political Science Emeritus, Yale University
"Congressman David Price has written a compelling and intellectually stimulating book on Congress from the perspective of one of its members.　 But Congressman Price is also Dr. Price, a political scientist, and the book is not simply a narrative of his experiences, but a scholarly contribution to our understanding of the nuances, changes, and inner-workings of the institution. In these polarized times, this book provides a window into the effects of that polarization on the workings of one of our most important government institutions."
--Paula D. McClain, James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Duke University
"To invoke an overused word, David Price really is unique. No one else bring his breadth of experience and learning to the study of the Constitution's first branch of government.　He is, at once, a distinguished political scientist, a former state party chair, and a House member who has won election after election. He not only understands politics from the inside out but also brings to it the instructive distance of an intellectual who sees things whole. It's a great blessing that he has given us a new edition of The Congressional Experience."　
--E.J. Dionne, Jr., Author, Code Red and Our Divided Political Heart
