Praise for National Security
Donald Snow offers a compelling approach to understanding the complexities of US national security. By moving beyond worst-case threat analysis, he grounds foreign policy in American domestic politics to reinvigorate thinking on the future of national security.
Derek S. Reveron, Harvard University
I recommend the new edition of National Security without reservation. It is a readable and informative text, and students find it useful and engaging. In addition, Donald Snow’s use of contemporary as well as historic examples opens the door for many meaningful classroom discussions. I find the text essential in the discussion of the complexities surrounding the study of the politics of US national security issues and list it as required reading every semester.
Matthew Wahlert, Miami University
Dr. Snow has once again delivered a text for its time. Rather than focusing on the institutional aspects of national security, he looks at the real issues of national security in a post–Cold War, post–9/11 world. The strong connection he makes between domestic politics and international threats goes beyond the normal "guns v. butter" debate. I am looking forward to the publication of this book so that I can adopt it for my courses.
Michael Kanner, University of Colorado–Boulder
This book offers readers an excellent introduction to national security. It skillfully combines a clear conceptual framework with thorough applications to both historical and contemporary security challenges. The book carefully guides readers through the abstract logic of interests, power, security and domestic politics, before examining the concrete manifestations of these concepts in the context of US national security from the early days of the nation to the post–9/11 world and the rise of the Islamic State.
Benjamin T. Jones, University of Mississippi

First Impressions

From the book reviews:“This book … covers mainly finite element methods for derivative pricing. The book is divided into two parts: ‘Basic Techniques and Models’ and ‘Advanced Techniques and Models’. This partition makes the book useful to a large number of readers, from beginners in the subject to more advanced students and researchers, specializing not only in applied mathematics but also in mathematical finance.” (Javier de Frutos, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2014)

“This important work interrogates the history of the Left in vital ways, bringing an abundance of fresh insight into developments that have remained as mysterious to activists as to outsiders. The comparisons and contrasts of the US and French Left, one seemingly collapsed by 1960 and the other still dominated by an Old Left presence, offer new ways of seeing developments since. The crisis of Ferguson, Missouri, prompting protests across a nation but without any seeming coordination or means of continuity, alone suggests how badly this volume is needed.”

“The book is well written and clear in its content and purposes. It is well suited for both academics and practitioners, including political and military personnel, presenting a clear overview of the development of the EU’s cybersecurity framework. … it makes a useful contribution to the academic debate on the global role of the EU as a security actor, as well as on the idea of a ‘civilian response’ to cyber threats.” (Simona Autolitano, The International Spectator, Vol. 52 (1), 2017)

"Wonderfully lively, engaging, and instructive -- a powerfully wrought spiritual evolution of a soul's journey toward faith narrated personally and tellingly."-- Robert Coles, Pulitzer Prize-winner"With engaging and absolute honesty, Goldstein tells the story of his arduous search for faith and writes with clarity, empathy, and insight about the Christian and Jewish mystics whose quest for enlightenment he himself so movingly emulates. He is a clear-eyed and intelligent seeker who knows that men and women find God in the shadow as often as in the light, in pain as much as in ecstasy."-- Derek Lundy, author of Godforsaken Sea: Around the Globe&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Alone Through the World's Most Dangerous Waters"This is a book for a new generation of seekers, a book that is not afraid to venture into the darker dimensions of the spiritual life. Few today dare to tread where Goldstein has."-- Rabbi Irving Greenberg, president, Jewish Life Network"Real life is messy. Most books on spirituality try to clean it up or cover it up. This one is different. Goldstein takes us into the heart of the raw and savage moments of life and provides a much needed balance to the all too often pollyannaish pretensions of contemporary American spirituality."-- Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro,&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;author of Minyan: Ten Principles for Living a Life of Integrity"In this spiritual journey, real travels, vividly reported, are paired with lives and thoughts of religious figures, classical and marginal, to provoke the reader to think about what might constitute a vibrant religious life today." -- Wayne Proudfoot, professor of religion, Columbia University

"The charm of this adaptation of the traditional folk song lies in the cheerful acrylic illustrations, which feature adorably bright-eyed and animated creatures prancing about in the snow . . . Lots of appeal for young children."&mdash;School Library Journal &#160; "The vibrancy and warmth of Cabrera&rsquo;s textured acrylic paintings and the jovial rhyming lines make this a welcome picture book adaptation of the classic song."&mdash;The Horn Book &#160; "This innovative version of the old song should appeal readily to today&rsquo;s children since the animals and their actions are all recognizable. The new words are quite easy to sing, and the musical notation is included in the final pages. . . . this bright, sunny variation is good fun for young children, particularly as a sing-along experience."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews  &#160; "The old English folk song gets new legs in this spirited adaptation that showcases the cutie-pie animals that have romped through other Cabrera books. The author&rsquo;s tweaking of the original . . . makes this more relatable to the youngest readers, while wizened older readers will enjoy the updates."&mdash;Booklist

Nachdrücklich stellt das Buch (...) die Epochenbruch-Fragen der Nachkriegszeit, in der eben nicht alles weiterging wie zuvor, sondern vieles sich änderte. Es sind die Fragen von heute: Wie wollen wir leben, wohnen, bauen? Bei seinem ersten Erscheinen im Jahr 1992 wirkte das Buch des damals fast unbekannten Autors zutiefst aus der Zeit gefallen, ja altmodisch. Jetzt passt es.

"Finally a publication that attempts to explore the multiple, complex elements that make up contemporary art in the public sphere. The Everyday Practice of Public Art traces the changes in contemporary public practice through a broad reaching series of essays: from the growth of social practice in educational institutions, to the problematics of city public art regeneration programs, to an analysis of art as a catalyst for social transformation. This publication asks the question - why public art, what is happening now and what can and should art in the public sphere be doing for us?"
Dee Hibbert-Jones, Associate Professor of Art, University of California, Santa Cruz

"This book is a reminder that social practice is also an acknowledgement of different perspectives, new histories, collaboration. The authors of these texts do us a service by bringing new voices and views to the already robust debate."
Suzanne Lacy, Chair, MFA Public Practice, Otis College of Art and Design 　

"A wonderful collection that takes public art as a socially engaged practice seriously. Theoretically, practically and politically engaged, this book does much to advance debates on art and the social world."Loretta Lees, Professor of Human Geography and Director of Research, University of Leicester"This volume deserves to become essential reading for researchers interested in understanding the processes underpinning the production of public art, its inscription and its contribution to social inclusion. Its value lies in the broad definition given to public art, amply reflected in the case studies, and to the innovative structuring of the discussion. The editors are to be applauded for their innovative approach in teasing out socially engaged public art practices, not least in emphasising the pedagogic routes underpinning production, its evolution and through bringing together authors representing a suitably diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds."
Ronan Paddison, Emeritus Professor of Geography, University of Glasgow 
"The book’s value is its distillation of community-based public art practice along with advice and curricula for the establishment of public art programs that emphasize social involvement. Summing Up: Recommended."
S. Webster, Lehman College and the Graduate Center CUNY in CHOICE
