"The fact that this book enters its 11th edition says a lot. It’s well-done, well-written, and quite comprehensive. This edition adds new coverage of global populism, illiberal regimes, ISIS, new material on Xi Jinping’s thought, as well as more on free trade, the Alt-Right, transgender rights, the rights of Native Peoples, and so on." — Ralph G. Carter, Professor of Political Science, Texas Christian University
"Terence Ball, Richard Dagger and Daniel I. O’Neill offer a superb analysis of political ideologies with thoughtful and compelling contemporary examples. The text invites students into the contemporary debates about political ideologies, and provides an opportunity to critically examine and challenge their own political views and understandings. The authors' ability to balance the theoretical ideas with practical applications makes the eleventh edition even better than earlier versions of the text." — Michael Cairo, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Transylvania University
"It is a pleasure to see this classic volume admirably updated with perceptive new discussions of pressing topics such as populism, illiberal democracy, fascism, the alt-right, democratic socialism, the "Me-too" movement, to name but a few. These topics are engaged not simply as add-on novelties, but carefully interrogated in terms of the central concerns of the volume regarding ideology and the prospects for democratic life." — Stephen K. White, James Hart Professor, Department of Politics, University of Virginia

"This simple and compelling book is a gift to those of us who have wrestled with the relationship between simple ideas and the complexity inherent in a modern enterprise. Managing and growing a business is a hard thing, with progress often hindered by unseen forces.  Finally, we have a guide that introduces system thinking, thereby demystifying the management process and helping you see your entire situation and a clear path forward."
Eric Dean
CEO, Whereoware
"Willy takes the powerful but complex discipline of systems thinking, lays it bare for everyone to see and comprehend through real and practical examples. He helps readers understand that systems invariably comprise and touch every activity and part of the enterprise and not understanding them can lead to devastating results."
Lance Drummond

Retired Executive Vice President, Operations and Technology, TD Canada Trust
“The delight one experiences upon getting to know Willy Donaldson, as I have, carries over into this practical little book on leadership. Here is someone with (a) real-world experience, (b) advanced academic credentials, and (c) a humble spirit, and he is willing to do one thing: he translates fresh ideas from systems thinking into language that anyone with a lick of ambition can understand and use. Where it takes you is up to you, of course, but with these tools in Donaldson's book, the sky's the limit. Each complex lesson comes bite-sized, enough to learn the basics right away, while at the same time indicating where the curious can turn for greater depth. The book itself routinely exhibits what the title promises: Simple_Complexity!”
Nathan Harter, Leadership scholar and author of Foucault on Leadership, Leadership and Coherence, and Clearings in the Forest
“Simple_Complexity will push your thinking about organizations and the people who manage and populate them to a new level. You will never view organizations in the same way again.”
Michael Fraser, President & CEO, National Technologies Associates, Inc
“As a private equity professional and serial board member, I work with management teams to help grow their companies. To succeed as a leader and manager, you need an holistic view of how the enterprise works. For that, there is simply no better guide than Simple_Complexity. We enjoyed this book so much that we integrated it into the training, planning and execution processes we use when working with our portfolio companies."
Taylor Grant, Founder and Managing Partner, Fox Three Partners
“Do not read this book if you don't have the time or inclination to think seriously about your organization. If you want recipes and platitudes, go elsewhere. But, if you do invest the time and energy, be prepared for transformational results.”
Steve Franzese, Professional Director and Former Chief Marketing Officer, senior marketing executive at Apple, Phillips, GE, Sonic Wall

Praise for The Nakano Thrift Shop"A gentle, humorous novel.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal"Kawakami lavishes attention on quotidian minutiae and exquisitely  awkward pauses, ending scenes on maddeningly unresolved but vibrant  images. [...] It feels a lot like daily life in Tokyo, but odder."&mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;The novel presents a fine-grained portrayal of its characters&rsquo; lives [...] [Its] pleasures [...] revolve [...] around the granular details of the everyday.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books"[Kawakami] knows she doesn't need fireworks to keep the reader entertained, and is pushing her exploration of form and style."&#160;&mdash;The Japan Times"A window into another world is opened by this pleasant but sprightly look at daily life in a small thrift shop in a Japanese city. Love and disappointment, professional rivalry, filial conflict and longings for another life illuminate these characters who became friends to the reader by the finish.

A gentle book, full of charm [and] radiating leftfield charisma."&mdash;Emerald Street"Hiromi Kawakami's charming novel illuminates moments of kindness, love and friendship that pop up like the unexpected treasures amid the shop's dusty collection of pretty mismatched bowls and plates, castoff eyeglasses, task lamps and old electric fans."&mdash;The Minneapolis Star Tribune". . .[A] modern Japanese slice-of-life drama."&mdash;Booklist"Readers will grow to care about these quirky characters [...] making &ldquo;Nakano&rdquo; an utterly charming little book."&mdash;Philippine Daily Inquirer "A window into another world is opened by this pleasant but  sprightly look at daily life in a small thrift shop in a Japanese city.

A Novel

The Nakano Thrift Shop

'This is a much-needed intervention on the growing phenomenon of non-religious pastoral care within chaplaincy contexts. It will undoubtedly raise challenges for chaplaincies and institutions across a wide range of settings in British public life.' - Ben Ryan, Researcher at TheosThink Tank, author of A Very Modern Ministry: Chaplaincy in the UK
‘This timely book sketches an innovative and inspiring view of pastoral care that is relevant for professionals and managers involved in spiritual/pastoral care provisions and chaplaincy, both within and beyond the UK. Using both scientific evidence and case examples, David Savage makes a well-founded and passionate plea for a more inclusive pastoral care service in which pastoral care needs of all people are taken seriously and can be addressed.’ – Carmen Schuhmann, Assistant Professor, Dep. Globalization and Dialogue Studies, University of Humanistic Studies

‘A photographer that understands the "how" can master the craft. Anchell succeeds in an exhaustively researched and comprehensive book on the next revolution, the Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera. What makes this book a "must read" is Anchell‘s vast experience as a professional photographer and educator. He fluidly weaves the facts with an empirical understanding of what is essential for any photographer.’
S.H. Begleiter, Adjunct Professor, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design

‘Steve Anchell got it right: mirrorless cameras are the next wave in digital photography. This textbook is a boon to both educators and working photographers as both a compendium of technical information and a resource guide for career development advancing the use of this new technology for the emerging/advanced student. I highly recommend it.’
Kay Kenny, Photography Instructor, NYU
‘Smart and accessible, informative and inspiring,　Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera: Getting the Most from Your MILC is important to read whether you are an established professional photographer, an artist or young student. The clear writing with touches of humor, provides stimulating details about the new world of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras which are an important part of our quickly changing technology.’
Lynn Saville, Fine Art Photographer

Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera

"Barbour s volume makes available essential documentation for the history of the East India Company in the critical opening years of its existence. The journals of the first English voyage to reach the Indian subcontinent are here fully edited and described for the first time; they are essential for an understanding of the beginnings of the British colonial enterprise, but they also relate in surprising ways to the mercantile enterprise that constituted the Shakespearean stage. Barbour is a gifted expositor and an excellent editor. This is an exciting and important book." - Stephen Orgel, J. E. Reynolds Professor in the Humanities, Stanford University

"Barbour s extensive and thorough introduction shows some of the riches here: ethnography, commerce, literacy, sailing, grievous danger, performance in a variety of forms, including, it seems, Shakespeare s Hamlet and Richard II performed aboard General Keeling s Dragon. Combined, the journals mesmerize and surprise as English merchants and sailors risk unknown seas and interact with the skilled sailors and sophisticated merchants of East and Southeast Asia." - A. R. Braunmuller, Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature, UCLA

‘Bringing together high-profile international authors, this milestone book is a must-read for academics, social workers, policy makers, and anyone who wants an updated and deep knowledge of social work at a local and global level.’ - Annamaria Campanini, President, the International Association of Schools of Social Work, Professor in Social Work, Department of Sociology and Social Research, University Milano Bicocca, Italy
‘Malcolm Payne and Emma Reith-Hall have edited a book that provides a unique and outstanding contribution to our understanding of social work theory. The book is broad in scope, contemporary, yet grounded in social work traditions of "ethics"; "theories of social work" and "social work practice". The contributors, experts in their field, from around the globe, bring diverse and creative views about the nature of social work theory and how theory can be realised through practice. A must-read book about social work theory.’ - Professor Steven M Shardlow, Professor Emeritus of Social Work, Keele University, United Kingdom

'It has been difficult to find a graduate-level book that teaches both the basics of language development and educational practices, especially for the population of school-age children beyond the earliest grades. To have language developments described for middle- and high-school is in itself already a major contribution of this book; to have placed these developments within a broader developmental continuum and link them to educational implications is simply to have written the book we applied language development folks have all been waiting for!' - Alison L. Bailey, Associate Professor, University of California, Los Angeles, USA

"Early breast cancer calls for a specially designed multidisciplinary approach to management, challenging radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, and oncologists to adopt new concepts and strategies. To this end, all the specialized fields involved will benefit from the most comprehensive knowledge currently available on the subject. Early Breast Cancer conveys the relevant data without losing sight of clinical relevance. The information in this book shows how a growing number of patients can profit from timely diagnosis and treatment and substantially increase their chances of surviving breast cancer."—New England Journal of Medicine, September 1999"The book demands space on many bookshelves, because it is possibly the best reference book to date on the subjects it covers."—New England Journal of Medicine, June 2006
