The Peoples of the Iroquois League in the Era of European Colonization

The Ordeal of the Longhouse

&ldquo;An expertly compiled collection of tales that entertain and scare.&nbsp;New stories by Stephen King and Joe Hill, the almost universal fear of flying trope, classic stories&hellip;.this book really does sell itself. And sells it very well as the first printing is already sold out and it hasn&rsquo;t shipped yet&hellip;this is a great intro to horror collection. The mixture of classic authors with new masters and a common trope that is scary but not necessarily gory or based on a supernatural monster, will lure in readers, many of whom might not consider themselves horror readers.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist

“Brigitte Vassort-Rousset’s edited volume is a very welcome contribution to scholarship on bilateral relations in international politics. … The volume enriches the literature on bilateral relations both conceptually and empirically. … the considerable added value of this collection primarily comes from the combination of its theoretical ambition to further the study of peaceful bilateral relations in international politics and its rich set of empirical case studies.” (Kai Oppermann, European Review of International Studies, Vol. 3, 2016)

"Di Pietro’s book provides a fresh and original outlook to the crowdfunding phenomenon: it offers insights on the worldwide diffusion of crowdfunding and its impact ventures’ performance. Crowdfunding for Entrepreneurs is an outstanding book: a must-read for researchers studying crowdfunding and for entrepreneurs and professionals who would like to read an essential and effective guide of such phenomenon." — Professor Andrea Prencipe, Rector, LUISS University, Rome, Italy
"It’s time to take crowdfunding seriously. Francesca Di Pietro offers a badly needed overview of the crowdfunding phenomenon with a focus on how it works in practice. The systematic scholarly perspective helps to go beyond the surface and to make sense of the opportunities as well as pitfalls of crowdfunding. A must-read for scholars and practitioners alike." — Eero Vaara, Professor in Organisations and Impact at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, UK
"This book addresses how crowdfunding has shaped the entrepreneurial finance landscape. It is designed to help students, scholars, and entrepreneurs to develop a critical understanding of the phenomenon, its worldwide adoption, and its impact on venture performance. The book is innovative and clear, and can lead to new ideas for research." — Vangelis Souitaris, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Cass Business School, City University of London, UK
"At lightning speed, crowdfunding has gone from a novelty to the mainstream in entrepreneurial finance. The need to understand this relatively new form of finance is, therefore, paramount for both those engaged in entrepreneurial finance and researchers. So this book, by one of the experts in the field, provides the solution by providing a comprehensive and in-depth analytical overview of research. It is a welcome and indispensable source of reference." — Professor Andrew Burke, Dean & Chair of Business Studies, Trinity Business School, Ireland

Crowdfunding for Entrepreneurs

“The book is written for those who work in healthcare facilities which, by definition, includes not only those who are involved in direct patient care, such as physicians and nurses, but also other essential personnel, such as administrative, building and engineering, environmental support, and public relations staff. … This book should serve not only as a guide for healthcare facilities, small or large, on the next bioemergency threat … .” (Farrin Manian, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)

"This is the first monograph to consider the political potential of online performance, offering a valuable discussion of direct audience engagement and active participation strategies employed in political practices of cyberformance. The volume is highly recommended for practitioners in theatre and media alike, as well as students and scholars engaged in Practice as Research." - Maria Chatzichristodoulou, London South Bank University, UK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Christina Papagiannouli's book is a timely addition to writings about theatre in a digital era, and in particular experimental performance on the Internet. Her discussion of a directorial response to this fast-developing scene – geared around facilitation rather than auteur-like instruction – provides a reflective challenge to several hierarchical and dramaturgical norms." – Andy Lavender, University of Surrey, UK

Praise for Women of the Street

"Warren Buffett has rightly bemoaned the lack of women in the upper echelons of business. The financial markets are no different. Meredith Jones makes a compelling case as to why the financial markets need far more cognitive and behavioral diversity in general. This book will help us get there. It is a treasure trove of insights, experiences and anecdotes from women investors who beat the market, offering valuable lessons to both women and men." - Guy Spier, Founder of Aquamarine Fund and author of The Education of a Value Investor

"Meredith Jones' extensive experience in alternative investing makes her uniquely qualified to take us on a journey into the background and thought process of 11 fascinating women portfolio managers. This book is an important guide to all aspiring investment professionals as well as investors, making the point for the importance of creating an investment portfolio that is built with diversity of thought and investment approach." - Noreen D. Beaman, CEO of Brinker Capital, Inc.

"Market bubbles may be a male phenomenon, and if so, then investment returns could be improved if your money was managed by a woman. Meredith's Jones' wonderful - and engagingly written - book has the stories, the data, and the women managers to support this tantalizing claim." - John Coates, former research fellow Cambridge University, and author of The Hour Between Dog and Wolf

"While the wizards of Wall Street have exploited every conceivable way of analyzing risk and opportunity, only recently has the conversation turned to whether there is a 'gender advantage' in investing. In Women of The Street, Meredith Jones presents empirical evidence, as well as outstanding real life examples, of the real advantage that women have in risk assessment and portfolio management." - Kelly Williams, President, GCM Grosvenor Public Markets Investments

"Jones has made a compelling case for gender diversity within investment portfolios while conducting energetic interviews with a multitude of magnificent role models for the next generation of investors to look towards!" - Elizabeth M. Hewitt, Managing Director, Public Investments, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

"Great books have the ability to disrupt our patterns of thought and challenge conventional wisdom. Women of The Street hits these marks, as Meredith Jones provides compelling evidence that it is women, not men, who are the superior investors and that we would all be wealthier and more financially secure if we learned to invest 'like a girl.'" - Mark W. Yusko, CEO and Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Creek Capital Management, LLC

"Meredith Jones has given Wall Street a new compliment: 'Invest like a girl'. Her book shares insights and stories that illustrate the strength, talent, character and return-generating prowess of women. Institutional investors, both male and female, should take a close look and not be surprised when they find better investment outcomes." - Jim Dunn, CEO, Verger Capital Management, LLC

"Women of The Street offers critical insights into what creates superior market performance. The fact that it happens to be a woman writing about women adds to its veracity and import. Fear of missing out should strike those who think they can skip it. It's too well-written and researched to do so." - Denise Shull, author of Market Mind Games

"Diversification is one of the cornerstones of investing. However, we have yet to apply the concept to create diversity among those who manage money either professionally or personally. How does gender affect investment behavior? Why aren't there more women investors and why should there be more? Meredith Jones tackles these critical questions and more with data and a dose of humor a winning combination. Beautifully written, this book is a must read for women and men alike." - Suzanne Duncan, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Research State Street Corporation | Center for Applied Research

"In stressed markets, when judgment matters most, women tend to be more rational and less emotional. They manage money with strong conviction, but not to the point of arrogance, admit mistakes more readily and are less compelled to follow the herd. These characteristics support Jones' conclusion that women can invariably achieve superior performance as asset managers." - Thomas W. Strauss, Chairman, Ramius LLC

From the reviews:“Verplaetse’s book begins with a long discussion of conscience and the moral sense through the eighteenth century. … Each chapter is filled with … detailed accounts of the views on the localization of higher faculties particularly related to the moral sense. … thus may be interest … to the specialist.” (Charles Gross, Social History of Medicine, Vol. 11 (3), September, 2010)
