From the reviews:

"This short book about children in difficult circumstances is sensitively expressed, thought provoking, and highly readable. … The book reads more like a memoir than a scientific report. … There are many jewels in this book. … an essential book for everyone interested in promoting the well-being of children. … Those who are beginning to work in this field will be well briefed on the importance of sensitivity and caring but also of making interventions based on theory, research, and cultural knowledge." (Judith L. Gibbons, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (41), 2008)

Celtic Empire

An engagingly written, carefully reasoned defence of 'objective truth' as a respectable, even desirable goal and standard.&#8212;Barry Allen, The Globe and Mail&mdash;True to Life is a passionate demonstration that truth matters; it is strikingly clear and painstakingly reasoned, and ranges from technical work in the philosophy of logic to a discussion of the role of truth-telling in government.&#8212;Anthony Gottlieb, The New York Times Book Review&mdash;This is an important and timely volume, and philosophy owes Lynch a considerable debt.&#8212;Duncan Pritchard, The Philosophers' Magazine&mdash;True to Life is a bracing antidote to the disease of postmodern cynicism that renders truth impossible and leaves us with nothing but wind-blown opinion.&#8212;Douglas Groothuis, The Denver Post&mdash;True to Life...asserts some simple truths about truth; for example, that it's good, [and] that it's worthy of pursuit...&#8212;Richard Halicks, Atlanta Journal-Constitution&mdash;

The Economic Dimensions of National Security

The "Washington Consensus" has shaped the world for nearly four decades since the 1980s. Although officially termed that way in 1990 only, neoliberal "structural reforms" had already been introduced to third countries before that. But thereafter, it was the vehicle for severe interventions into many countries that received credit from the IMF (and World Bank). It survived the 2008 financial crisis and the lingering Great Recession. This book provides a balance of its evolution, which is overly due and highly topical under the current "turn of the tide". Marangos’ huge merit is to also analyze it under plural "heterodox" perspectives, which illuminates many new aspects of the history of neoliberalism. A must-read that comes timely, as we all have to consider rebuilding the international political economy.
Dr Wolfram Elsner, Professor of Economics, University of Bremen, Business Studies & Economics (retired)
The topic of the Washington Consensus is always a good subject to discuss, given that the mainstream must take responsibility for having inflicted such pain on developing countries. In this sense, pluralist or heterodox economists must take up the opportunity of measuring the catastrophic consequences of the Washington Consensus. In this book, John Marangos does just this. He proposes a thorough analysis of it, from its roots to implementation, and offers a fair but insightful analysis, including the response by post-Keynesians, institutionalists, and Marxists. It is truly, a tour de force. This book is a must for any development and macroeconomics class.

Louis-Philippe Rochon, Full Professor of Economics - Laurentian University 

John Marangos’ important new book arrives just in time to help us think through the challenges of rebuilding a post-Covid-19 world economy organized around principles of decency, sustainability, and resilience. The book provides urgently needed inspiration for policymakers and civil society actors searching for new approaches to policies that support development and human well being.　　　　　　　　　　 
Ilene Grabel, Distinguished Professor of International Finance, Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver (USA). 
With International Development and the Washington Consensus, we now finally have a convincing critical analysis of the core methodology that has influenced economic policy decisions across developing and emerging markets over the past several decades. The book masterfully covers both theoretical and applied aspects of the research problem, including a review of the development experience in the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union. Anyone working in the economic development field should read this book!
Aleksandr V. Gevorkyan, Henry George Chair in Economics and Associate Professor of Economics at St. John’s University, USA, author of Transition Economies: Transformation, Development, and Society in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union

"The book is very interesting starting from the idea itself to the well cited information in each chapter. It is straightforward, simple language, systematic in its presentation and at the same time eligible to be used for all levels of learning; undergrad/grad/researchers,etc., covered most of the important points in each topic, cleared out the confusion between the different laws (Agency law, Trust law and Corporate law...) and the difference between the nature of the firm and the theory of the firm…complete and well presented." — Dina Rady, Ph.D., American University and George Washington University

'Straight forward, helpful and well structured, the book is easy to read and digest and is well chunked down...From a facilitator’s point of view, I would have loved to have read this book ten years ago. I am sure it would have helped me not to make so many mistakes and perhaps over come hurdles less painfully. I would strongly recommend this book to others; in fact I will buy a copy for each of my team who are all working on their facilitation work. I strongly believe this book would be welcome in the toolkit of many L&D professionals. This is not a book that will gather dust once it has been read. I have already revisited a chapter or two to review for some hints and tips, and I only finished it last week. A straight forward, helpful book that will provide, the individual new to the art of facilitation and the experienced facilitator with food for thought. Well done Ann, you have obviously worked hard on this and it shows.'  - Lesley Powley, Corporate Learning and Development Manager at the Scottish Court Service  'Barely having read a line I grabbed a pen and notebook and started jotting down new ideas on how to approach, conduct and evaluate my teachings. As a trial and error learner myself 'Pattern Making Pattern Breaking' gave me great new didactical insights and made me more conscious of my own behavioural patterns as a learner and the environment I teach in. What makes this book special is that it makes you feel comfortable and confident in the actual pattern making and pattern breaking. I believe different kinds of people will enjoy this book, because it can be used in so many ways. It feels like Ann Alder invented empathy. She offers many perspectives and solutions without judgment, which is energizing and truly inspiring.' - Vanessa E. de Groot, Program Coordinator and Lecturer Multimedia Design, Raffles Design Institute, China
