"With Leading Value Creation, Barney has given us a breathtakingly novel, integrative, and useful model of how value is created and destroyed within organizations. For presenting a complete and thoroughgoing picture of the dynamics of value in organizations, there is nothing else like this book." - Robert Cialdini, President, Influence At Work; Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing, Arizona State University, USA; New York Times Bestselling Business Author

"Despite the crisis of confidence, the primary purpose of corporate leadership remains the same: maximize shareholder value legally and ethically while ensuring fairness to the stakeholders. Barney's multi-disciplinary approach draws from different business disciplines to develop an integrated model for value creation. It will serve as a guide to leaders in creating value on a sustainable basis." - N. R. Narayana Murthy, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Infosys Limited

"An extremely well researched book. It shows us how human beings have been and will continue to be influenced and inspired by nature in finding new and innovative ways to solve their day-to-day challenges. It explores the art, science, and practice of leadership. Using anecdotal experiences and proven models, this book explains how business leaders in general can use bio-inspiration to lead value creation within their organizations." - S.D. Shibulal, CEO and Co-Founder, Infosys Limited

“It shows us Foucault in 1980 mapping out a major new phase in his work in terms that complicate our existing understanding of his unfinished project. &nbsp;… the volume editor, Michel Senellart and the translator, Graham Burchell have done an outstanding job in delivering this work to us in a form that perfectly serves its intent and its content.” (Colin Gordon, Foucault Studies, Issue 20, December, 2015)"[Foucault] must be reckoned with." The New York Times Book Review

"Ideas spark off nearly every page of this book, as Foucault manages to reinvigorate questions of power and violence that might have seemed well-worn. The words may have been spoken in 1976, but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday." Bookforum

"Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are..." The Nation

"[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual coded and ask new questions...[He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture." The New York Review of Books

"These lectures offer important insights into the evolution of the primary focus of Foucault's later work the relationship
between power and knowledge." - Library Journal

'The new Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology retains all the acclaimed virtues of the 2004 edition, a completely rewritten and meticulously updated version of H.J. Rose’s time-tested compendium. But this latest version provides an even more useful tool: Robin Hard has totally reorganized the earlier presentation of the often-complex stories about gods and heroes, more lucidly streamlining and sequencing the material, highlighting interconnections, and drawing attention to such matters as ancient cosmology and cult. The result is a fresh, clear narrative, featuring a strong story line while also attuned to curious lesser-known variants. An ideally accessible reference work, it can also be read straight through, with pleasure'.

Isolation in "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. The perception of being isolated and its dependence to endogenous and exogenous causes

In an era when the word ‘challenges’ has all but replaced ‘difficulties’ and ‘crisis’, Singapore could claim to be the pioneer of this Orwellian, linguistic sleight of hand. Every bump on the smooth ride to peace and prosperity was a test to the resilience of the people, and of course, the talent and bold decision-making of the political elite. The book is an innovative, refreshing take on the old but continuing theme. As Singapore finds itself facing the new ‘challenges’ of the rise of India and China, the intake of Asian migrants and the volatile global financial system, she returns to the well-tried blend of authoritarian control and redefinition of national identity. With prodigious subtlety and theoretical panache Leong Yew traces the journey of Asianism in Singapore from the past days to the current flowering into an extravagant, promiscuous politics of otherness. This is well-written book, artfully argued and deserves to be read by anyone who wishes to see the island state as more than a sole province of one man – Lee Kuan Yew.
Souchou Yao, Research Affiliate, Department of Chinese Studies, University of Sydney, Australia
Through the creative use of novel concepts such as ‘franchised orientalism’, Leong Yew’s Asianism and the Politics of Regional Consciousness in Singapore adventurously examines the complex and multiple bases for ‘Asian’ thinking in the city-state. The legacy of British colonial thought and the post-independence attempts by the Singapore state and its agents to formulate a new national identity — an identity that increasingly did not want to be a cultural sign positioned in simple opposition to the ‘West’, but to be an identity that signified a cultural return to Asia — lead to the disjunctive cultural space that is contemporary Singapore. Yet, Yew contends that this space ironically possesses a unitary logic. This book is an ambitious project that will stimulate a larger reflection of (fractured) ‘Asian’ cultural identities in a time when perhaps the fabled ‘Asian century’ is finally arriving.
C. J. W.-L. Wee, Professor of English, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
All through its history, Singapore has positioned itself, particularly to the West, as the ideal hub from which to either engage in business and trade or to physically explore the broader Asian region. This narrative has dynamically defined the city-state since its modern, colonial – and indeed pre-colonial – beginnings, resulting in the powerhouse economic status that Singapore now commands on the world stage. The contra-narratives of Singapore’s ‘Asian-ness’, its multiplicity or even its lack thereof, are equally well-circulated, perhaps only in casual conversations or on personal travel blogs, not so much in academic discourse. 
Is Singapore really an Asian country? How Asian are Singaporeans in their cultural practices and consumption? Is there an underlying Asian consciousness amongst Singaporeans? Asianism and the Politics of Regional Consciousness in Singapore by Leong Yew fills this massive scholarly gap with aplomb. This book is arguably the most comprehensive yet that addresses these questions, and seeks to explain how structuring Singapore as Asian is necessarily framed within a broader regional consciousness. Drawing from foundational sociological, anthropological, cultural and political theories, the book deals with the complexities of ‘Singapore Asianism’, understood quite simply as the nation’s mostly successful albeit disjunctured relationship in and with Asia, and vice versa. The book is most engaging not least because it is presented in a systematic and chronological fashion, with the style of writing accessible and therefore likely to appeal to general interested readers. 
The first part offers an historical perspective of the formation of Singapore, its colonial past, journey towards independence as well as its search for a self-identity and the elusive ‘Asian soul’. The book then looks towards the present (and future) by dealing with Asian ‘capitalist’ discourses of consumption and the commodification of food, cultural practices, knowledges and landscapes. It offers, in conclusion, not so much a resolution of what Singapore Asianism means in Singapore (since it remains always a work-in-progress), rather how the discourse of ‘alter-Asianism’ is and can be used to produce one’s own version to counter statist or mainstream forms of ‘orientalised Asianism’. 
Terence Lee, Associate Professor of Communication & Fellow, Asia Research Centre, Murdoch University, Australia
The politics of bifurcation are likely to last for a long while, and these four books represent productive reflections on this uncertain transition to a dauntingly globalised Singaporean trajectory. 
Alan Chong, Journal of Southeast Asian Studies
Yew has written an account of Singapore Asianism which is rewarding to read and will be a reference work in the area for both scholars and students. This book is both a timely and a useful addition to the recent academic debates over Asianism. Yew has skillfully and clearly delineated his topic and made a valuable contribution to Asian cultural studies. The book is of use not only to specialists on Singapore but also to scholars studying the phenomenon of Asianism throughout the region.
Kevin Blackburn, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Leong uses specific examples to demonstrate the sensitisation of the official planning of regional consciousness on institutional projects, product branding, media representations and vernacular lifestyles.Leong goes on to show the process in which such conceptualisation of Asianism can be capitalised on as the new knowledge economy of education and popularised in television dramas.

"Meticulously researched and finely argued, Secrecy in Japanese Arts is an intellectually bracing and deeply satisfying book. The author shows convincingly that esotericism, often considered to be a feature of Japanese cultural transmission, does not belong to the category of the inscrutable or mysterious, but rather operates according to an analyzable logic. This thrilling encounter between "postmodern theory" and "premodern Japanese culture" ought to be required reading for anyone involved in learning, teaching, investigating, or practicing the traditional Japanese arts." - Ayako Kano, University of Pennsylvania

"[Morinaga] is well versed in critical theory, and the book raises provocative questions regarding the various contingencies involved in the process of textual and lineage production...Morinaga's book encourages us to think deeply about the multiple ways in which 'knowledge' is crafted and maintained. The author argues compellingly that we must pay attention to the detailed dynamic contours of the production, performance, attempted transmission, and motivated reception of 'knowledge' in order to understand its workings in any context." - Terry Kawashima, Wesleyan University

«Comme toujours, Lila s’attribuait le devoir de me planter une aiguille dans le cœur, non pour qu’il s’arrête mais pour qu’il batte plus fort.» Elena, devenue auteure reconnue, vit au gré de ses escapades avec son amant entre Milan, Florence et Naples. Parce qu’elle s’est éloignée du quartier populaire où elle a grandi, Elena redoute les retrouvailles avec son amie d’enfance. Mais depuis quelque temps, Lila insiste pour la voir et lui parler… La saga se conclut en apothéose après avoir embrassé soixante ans d’histoire des deux femmes et de l’Italie, des années 1950 à nos jours. L’enfant perdue est le dernier tome de la saga d’Elena Ferrante. Il succède à L’amie prodigieuse, Le nouveau nom et Celle qui fuit et celle qui reste.
