I congratulate [Dr Dye], not only on a very clear and thoughtfully produced text but also on the acquisitions policy that has made the Virginia collections so firm a basis for what I am sure will be a highly valued book.

'Dr. Goulding's extensive review of the literature, and interviews with professionals and policy makers, have resulted in a comprehensive compendium of facts, ideas, and opinions. She outlines many of our current professional debates and has produced a readable text that may well provoke more. It is a work that is destined to be on student reading lists for many years to come and one that will find a welcome place on the bookshelves of those with more experience of the public library world.'  Bob Usherwood, Emeritus Professor,  University of Sheffield, UK  '...books such as this - readable, relevant, comprehensive, informative, well produced and with a good index and bibliography - are always worth the investment. This one certainly is, for all public library senior and middle managers and library and information study programs.'  -Aplis (Australian  Public Libraries and Information Services) - Vol 19, no 3 , September 2006.  'Dr Goulding draws on a wealth of sources, both published and unpublished, and interviews with a wide range of individuals. She is also able to provide a valuable insight into the public library, making use of statistics and observations and commentary by practitioners and policy makers. This very useful overview of the more recent evolution of public libraries in the UK.'   - Ayub Khan, Library & Information Update, February 2007  'Clearly this is a volume that every public librarian - and they form over a third of the active membership of CILIP - needs to read and discuss with their colleagues to see what they can do to improve the situation. It could be a good tool to revitalize services at a local level. The image of the service is important if people of the right calibre and personality are to be recruited, and the library schools have a role in devloping tomorrow's leaders. Look to other parts of the world and see the positive ways that are being used in the USA, Australia, Singapore etc. to tackle a similiar problem.' Library Review, Vol

Important detail is clearly signposted. The law is explained with clarity in a way that is relevant to journalists. Legal jargon is explained. It is equally relevant to students and working journalists. McNae's gets it right, and in truth I'd be lost without it, and so would my students.

McNae's Essential Law for Journalists

'Pascale Fournier provides a lucid introduction to comparative legal technique (marriage laws of Muslim countries differ widely, as do the relevant laws of the Western host countries), and most impressively to applied critical theory. A multi-disciplinary tour de force, opening a new territory, sure to shape the debate on how to reform current policies.'  Duncan Kennedy, Harvard Law School, USA  'A cutting edge book - impeccably conceptualized and richly documented - on the tensions between Western liberal legal systems and Islamic legal concepts. By focusing on how Western courts interpret the Islamic concept of Mahr or gift to the bride, Pascale Fournier succeeds in presenting a sharp and original analysis of liberalism and multiculturalism.' Mounira M. Charrad, University of Texas, USA  'Pascale Fournier's fascinating book examines the Mahr, central to Muslim marriage, in Western legal systems.  Using analytical and fictional techniques, Fournier's writing grips the reader with court cases from Canada, France, Germany, and the US, showing Muslim women of different origins, social circumstances and orientations, negotiating their rights in multi-cultural contexts.' Lilia Labidi, University of Tunis, Tunisia  'Muslim Marriages in Western Courts is a thought-provoking and unusually sophisticated book. Fournier gives us the first circumstantial, comparative account of the 'legal life' of Mahr, a concept so far unknown in Western legal systems. This superb study of the relationship between Western and Islamic law crosses many boundaries and should be relevant to anyone with an interest in women's rights and positions in plural societies. Moreover, it challenges the reader to reconsider conventional ideas about legal transplants and, more generally, about pluralism and the law.' Marie-Claire Foblets, University of Leuven, Belgium  '... this is a very good book, highly recommended for those interested in Islamic family law as applied in Western jurisdictions, as well as

’After reading Professor Goh’s book, I am convinced that the science of anthropology will help us to better understand contemporary law, legal practice and dispute resolution...Professor Goh’s style of writing means that the book is simply a delight to read. For a scholarly text, this is a real achievement. Its clarity and incisiveness is enhanced by the addition of some of the author’s deep personal insights and experiences in Chinese culture, and in law and dispute resolution...The serious student, practitioner and academic in the field of dispute resolution will gain deep insights into both Chinese and Western dispute resolution by reading this book.’ Australasian Dispute Resolution Journal  ’Law Without Lawyers, Justice Without Courts...advances what is already known about traditional Chinese mediation and makes the topic more accessible to new audiences.’ Australian Journal of Asian Law

'This is a rich and innovative collection. By exploring what constitutionalism means in various fields of law, it offers a much needed new perspective on one of the most important developments in law of the last decade.' Jan Smits, Tilburg University, The Netherlands  'This work makes a timely and valuable contribution. Too often books on constitutional order within the European Union stay, whatever their ideological perspectives, within a Public Law and Human rights perspective, this book breaks new ground in also looking at the relationship of this to European Private Law.' Zenon Bankowski, Edinburgh Law School, UK  '... well-written, detailed, precise, clear and very interesting analysis, at times highly theoretical, sometimes critical, of the European multi-dimensional constitutionalism. It will serve as a point of reference not only for those who are interested in the European constitutionalism but everyone interested in European integration and the debate on the future of the European construction, both academics and students. The book offers new perspectives to the way we think about constitutionalism and the European constitution, and opens new areas for the academic research. Above all, it will facilitate a dialogue on the European constitution.' Common Market Law Review

'Overall, the contributions presented in this volume give a very good overview of the state-of-the-art in microsimulation modelling. The volume may be useful for at least two different tasks. Firstly, it could be a reference for those already working in the area of microsimulation who are searching for guidance towards specific topics. Secondly, it could be useful for those interested in building a microsimulation model, since the selection of papers provides a broad overview of the scope but also about the potential pitfalls associated with model building.'
