'A stimulating read, these nicely organized and well crafted essays do what’s urgently needed in our post-9/11 world: they reframe and reconsider venerable issues in the just-war tradition creatively and conscientiously. ' James Cook, US Air Force Academy, USA  'This collection of essays sheds important and interesting light on issues of contemporary just war and efficacy of ethics education in US military education. Highly recommended reading.' Martin L. Cook, United States Naval War College, USA  ’This book provides an interesting collection of essays by prominent theorists as part of Ashgate’s ’Military and Defence Ethics Series’... These essays are thoughtfully written and recommended to scholars and others who are interested in JWT... Overall, this book is best described as providing three quite different collections of works, which have been published together under the common theme of JWT. The book is recommended to academic students of JWT. It is also likely to prove useful to motivated readers from the military profession who wish to challenge their understanding of this contested and developing field.’  Australian Defence Force Journal

"...a welcome look at the problem of first language verb-learning in young children....the papers cogently spell out the complexity of the verb-learner's problem and the variety of processes required to solve it. A number of interesting, counterintuitive, and often controversial claims emerge....there is a good deal of thematic coherence among subsets of the chapters, which makes reading all the more interesting by pointing out key issues and discrepant claims....a timely volume reporting some of the best current work on the problem of verb-learning in children."&#8212;Studies in Second Language Acquisition"...a stimulating collection of papers which not only provides an accurate reflection of the current state of the field, but also allows the reader to compare directly approaches which are more or less diametrically opposed."&#8212;British Journal of Developmental Psychology"This book presents many fascinating classic and innovative philosophies and empirical backgrounds designed to focus on longuistic and cognitive peculiarities of verb meaning acquisition."&#8212;American Journal of Psychology

Volume 24 from the Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology series is an admirable attempt at filling this void....Each of the chapters is quite good, covering in some detail the central research issues for its field....an excellent resource."&#8212;Contemporary Psychology

'This textbook provides a clearly written, concise introduction to the modern Middle East. Short, easy-to-digest pieces are augmented by textbooks and maps, exploring all aspects of the region from politics and government, to history, geography, and various cultural perspectives. While perhaps too advanced for some high school students, this book would find a home in Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate classes or libraries meant to support them, and is also suitable for many university level survey courses on the Middle East.'– Middle East Outreach Council, Honorable Mention, Fall 2009

'This book is a must for Latin American policymakers and scholars. The essays provide an unusually deep and provocative look into different aspects of Asian and Latin American comparative performance and their trade and investment interactions. These and many other insights offered by this book illuminate the present policy challenges for Latin America in order to be able to emulate Asian high growth performance and to take advantage of the spectacular growth of Asian trade.' Guillermo Perry, non resident fellow at the Center for Global Development and former Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean at the World Bank.
'This volume provides keen insights on economic and financial integration between Asia (particularly China) and Latin America, as well as prospects for their deeper integration. The essays present both opportunities and challenges for Latin American economies resulting from China’s rapid ascent in the world economy. Nevertheless, as the book highlights, their relationship is not unidirectional. China can learn policy lessons from the Latin American experience especially in pension reform and policies toward small- and medium-sized enterprises. As a whole, the book succeeds in filling a large gap in the literature relating to recent developments and lessons from Sino-Latin American relations.' Changyong Rhee, Chief Economist at the Asian Development Bank.
'This book is timely and provocative. Debunking old myths about the pros and cons for Latin America represented by the emergence of China, the authors argue that the two regions have much to gain from their relationship, not just by trading more, but by learning from each other. The book identifies policy challenges, suggests novel strategies to confront them, and opens new avenues for research.' Eduardo Lora, Chief Economist (a.i.) and General Manager of the Research Department Inter-American Development Bank.
"Sino-Latin American Economic Relations fills a gap in the current literature, and provides practical policy recommendations for both China and Latin American countries. In short, this edited volume is a thought-provoking work to policy-makers, scholars, students and anyone interested in Sino-Latin American economic relations and international economic relations." - East Asia Integration Studies, 2013.

"Melleby&#160;paints Brie as a recognizable teen: authentic in her self-centeredness and sympathetic in her attempts to embrace her identity. Brie&rsquo;s anxiety over her faith, as well as how to come out to her loved ones, is wrenching and genuine in this accomplished, leisurely paced read." &mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&#160; &ldquo;A nuanced exploration of how to reconcile faith and identity. Melleby&#39;s clear, honest voice expertly captures the frustration, awkwardness, and fear of being vulnerable&mdash;as well as the potential rewards. This funny, tender, and heart-wrenching story will have readers calling for an encore.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review &ldquo;The story honestly conveys Brie&#39;s confusion about her sexuality, while at the same time, moves plotlines to the next level by also delving into the way the family&#39;s Catholicism affects events. Younger teens questioning their sexuality&mdash;or faith&mdash;will find much to ponder here.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;Chapter openings describing events from soap operas&mdash;the one strong interest she shares with her mom&mdash;underscore how dramatic the events feel to Brie, as well as the fact that, though she&rsquo;s realized something new about herself, she&rsquo;s still the same person.&rdquo; &mdash;The Horn Book "Her struggles and those of her family seem authentic, their interactions realistic, and Brie&rsquo;s desire to be really seen and loved for who she is will ring true with many middle school readers." &mdash;School Library Journal &ldquo;This middle grade book is really a great coming out story. It does not all go smoothly, and Brie has a lot of challenges that she has made for herself, but it&#39;s truly heartfelt and genuine. Readers who may be dealing with the same situation will find pieces of themselves in Brie&#39;s story. The process is all too real (over and over again) with reactions running the gamut. Brie is passionate and still learning, and her story is overall full of angst and charm&hellip; Overall,&#160;a captivating and charming middle grade contemporary.&rdquo; &mdash;YA Book Central

"... Every chapter is clearly written, gives a balanced discussion, and has copious notes. Further reading suggestions and a good index make this a valuable resource. Summing Up: Recommended." - D. Stewart, CHOICE
"Cohen’s book provides an excellent introduction to the field of ethics and public policy. In examining an array of cutting-edge policy controversies, Cohen deftly integrates moral concerns with political and economic considerations. In doing so, he shows how moral reasoning contributes its own distinct repertoire of analytical tools to policymaking, a repertoire every bit as rich and indispensable as those offered by economics and political science." - Andrew Stark, University of Toronto, Canada
"This book is a model for how to write clearly and think deeply about the connection between ethics and public policy. I wouldn’t hesitate to assign it for an undergraduate course, or recommend it to anyone interested in thinking through the moral trade-offs and feasible policy responses to some of the most important and topical challenges of our time." - Jonathan Anomaly, Duke University, USA

"Cohen's wonderful book begins with an obvious question that almost nobody ever asks: why have any policy at all? Asking this question opens our eyes to the possibility that sometimes the best public policy is no public policy. With admirable sensitivity to the constraints that economic and political realities impose upon our philosophical ideals, Cohen shows us just how difficult this default option can be to overcome." - Matt Zwolinski, University of San Diego, USA
"Cohen is the perfect author to explore the controversial matters addressed in this important book. He is exceptionally insightful and clear-headed, and writes with admirable clarity and rigor. I would recommend this excellent book to anyone who wants to think openly and critically about the most pressing public policy issues of our time." - Christopher Heath Wellman, Washington University in St. Louis, USA
