’[Michael Ewans's] book seems to me to be, in literary and musical terms, a very well-judged and sensitive treatment of a fascinating subject... it has a great deal to offer anyone interested in Greek tragedy... full of fascinating accounts...’ The Journal of Classics Teaching  ’... Ewans marshals meticulous foreground detail to animate his background themes.’ Opera  ’Ewans's take on these operas and their literary "lineage" is enlightening... Opera from the Greek is a pithy (200-page) tour of music-drama. The number of ideas introduced in this brief book, and the degree to which Ewans explores so many so deeply will startle and excite anyone interested in opera, even operas quite different from those discussed here.’ Opera Today  ’The clarity of the writing style, the in-depth insight into the operas, complete with musical examples, and the erudite analysis of the relationship between opera and source material all make this a valuable resource for music researchers, students of opera, and also for those general readers interested in the development of opera as it relates to classical Greek epics and theatrical forms.’ Studies in Musical Theatre  ’Opera from the Greek has many strengths. The focus is clear, the choice of operas good, the research solid, the bibliography of primary and secondary sources and recommended recordings excellent. Most important, throughout there are strong, exciting readings and ideas, both about the individual works and the connections between them ... The book's single most important contribution is the discussions of the music ... Again and again Ewans provides vivid analyses of the dramatic impact of musical passages.’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review   ’The book [...] succeeds in addressing opera’s lasting fascination with the myths and narratives of the ancient world. ... Ewans’s volume provides much useful information on the original sources for each opera, and the way such features are manifested (or not) in sel

'Avoiding yet another handy recipe book for effective managerial communication, this book positions communication inside this historic development of work and management and shows how this development has led to the instrumental use of communication, informed by the distinction between those who manage and those who are managed and directed towards the control and system integration of the workers.' - BUIRA (British Universities Industrial Relations Association)

'Klikauer's book, Communication and Management at Work, is a refreshing, exciting and distinctive perspective on communication. I would recommend [it] to anyone who is interested in the 'why' of management communication rather than the 'how' and would advocate its inclusion as required reading in the MBA program.' - Mary Bambacas, Labour and Industry

'Klikauer effectively critiques current relationships between communication and management and offers a well-reasoned framework for assessing these concepts from a communicative action perspective.' - Erin Freiss, Language in Society

’Applying the insights of his first book on joining and interstate wars now to the domain of civil wars, Shirkey provides a detailed and convincing account of how revealed information and commitment problems affect intervention in civil wars. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding why civil conflicts sometimes spread and sometimes do not.’ Page Fortna, Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia University, USA  ’Why and when do states intervene militarily in ongoing civil wars? Through careful theorizing that highlights the role of revealed information and commitment problems, and in-depth case studies that span nearly two centuries, Shirkey provides a new answer to a question of great importance for both theory and policy. Joining the Fray is required reading for students of civil war.’ Jack S. Levy, Rutgers University, USA  ’Despite their name, civil wars rarely are completely contained within a single state, a fact we often neglect. Shirkey does not.  With clear logic and careful case-studies he shows that whether outsiders join is influenced by pre-existing factors, like geography, great power status and alliances, and by developments during the war, particularly surprises on the battlefield and expectations about how the winner might behave later.  This is an important study.’ Robert Jervis, Columbia University, USA  '... Shirkey develops a theory whose main hypothesis contends that revealed information and commitment problems account for changes in interventionist attitudes ... The theory also acknowledges the role of alliances and institutional patterns of interaction, as well as elements of strategy delay. In doing so, the book becomes a significant and intellectually refreshing addition to the existing literature.' Journal of Peace Research

Joining the Fray

"This is a marvelous in-depth examination of one of the most complicated and dangerous security issues facing the United States, its friends and allies, and potential opponents in this critical region. This book represents a major contribution to the literature on WMD proliferation in the Greater Middle East at the same time that it probes the domestic interests that have shaped several Middle Eastern governments quest for a nuclear silver bullet."
 - Judith Yaphe, Senior Fellow, Institute for National Strategic Studies

"This book is a welcome addition to the literature on WMD developments in the Middle East. Particularly valuable are the insights provided about Saudi Arabia and Syria, and the nonproliferation lessons derived from Iraq and Libya."
 - William C. Potter, Institute Professor and Director, Center for Nonproliferation Studies, Monterey Institute of International Studies

"James A. Russell has assembled an outstanding collection of essays on the challenges posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, with particular focus upon the impact of this process in the Middle East. The volume contains a series of excellent case studies on WMD acquisition activities in this critical region, including descriptions of Israel's extensive nuclear weapons development efforts, the illicit nuclear proliferation networks of Pakistan's A. Q. Khan, and the intriguing tale of Libya's recent voluntary renunciation of its WMD programs. The collection closes with a series of insightful policy discussions on a variety of non-proliferation, counter-proliferation, and threat reduction initiatives in and relevant to the Middle East."
 - Dr. Edward L. Warner, III, Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy & Threat Reduction

"A series of balanced and objective insights into one of the world's most critical security problems."
 - Anthony H. Cordesman, Burke Chair in Strategy, Center for Strategic and International Studies.
