"Public Discourses of Contemporary China is an ambitious and illuminating book. Through fascinating case studies and a rigorous reconceptualization of the relationship between aesthetics and politics, Shen convincingly shows the persistent centrality of nationalism in China even today and elucidates the ways in which individual subjects both participate in and remake state-initiated modernization projects through narration and other forms of cultural production. It will be an essential read for anyone wishing to understand mass nationalism and the interaction between state and society in postsocialist China." - Tze-lan Deborah Sang, Professor of Chinese Literature & Visual Studies, Michigan State University, USA

"Offering several fresh readings of some now classic works, such as River Elegy (Heshang), Farewell My Concubine (Bawang bieji), and A Beijinger in New York (Beijingren zai Niuyue), as well as more recent manifestations of pop-culture and internet literature, this book is exemplary as a savvy engagement of postructural theory that displays equal facility with current scholarship on Chinese cultural studies published inside China and the West. As such, it is must reading for those interested in the fallout created by the interaction between the authoritarian state and free market economy." - Christopher Lupke, Professor of Chinese and Cinema Studies, Washington State University, USA

"Public Discourses of Contemporary China dynamically illuminates mass nationalist aesthetics in postsocialist China. Yipeng Shen historicizes and theorizes his compelling analysis of films, television dramas, and literary works with considerable sophistication. His detailed account of complex dynamics conditioning the transition from socialist mass line aesthetics to neoliberal nationalism contributes important scholarship to fields of nationalism and aesthetics, as well as to modern Chinese studies." - Robin Visser, Associate Professor of Chinese, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

The Impact

"Moral skepticism is an ancient idea, but the debate over its merits has been recently enlivened by a suspicion that scientific findings about the evolutionary sources of human moral thinking might somehow favor the skeptic's case. Stephen Morris stakes out a radical skeptical position boldly and clearly: science gives us strong reasons to doubt the existence of moral facts. But Morris's aims are ultimately constructive; in a sensitive and novel discussion, he provides suggestions as to how science could nonetheless help us to live more cooperative and harmonious lives." - Richard Joyce, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

'This book offers a wide-ranging, accessible, interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature of morality. Without sacrificing rigor, Morris keeps his account grounded in the real world an accomplishment that's all too rare in contemporary ethics.' - Tamler Sommers, University of Houston, USA

'This book blends high theory with down-to-earth, empirically backed discussion of the practicalities of getting people to treat each other better for example, by promoting happiness so that people are more inclined to prosocial behavior. Stephen Morris has given us a provocative and engaging book that significantly advances the debate, and will interest a wide range of readers.' - Dan Haybron, Saint Louis University, USA

"Technology has long been touted as a great liberating tool that will improve life. Instead, as Elliot Cohen trenchantly details, invasive hi-technology has become a cancerous growth that invades privacy and creates a surveillance state. Fortunately, Cohen suggests strategies to rein in the perilous danger of a government that can monitor our every move - and perhaps soon our thoughts." Mark Karlin, Editor of BuzzFlash at Truthout

"Technology of Oppression features the importance of preserving human freedom and dignity in the face of mass surveillance by governments and corporations. We are faced with the loss of nothing less than our cognitive liberty to be independent thinking human beings. Elliot Cohen is the Paul Revere of the 21st century and we all need to pay heed." Peter Phillips, Ph.D., President of the Media Freedom Foundation/Project Censored

"Today massive surveillance technologies threaten our privacy and our freedom. In this book, Elliot Cohen offers a set of workable, practical regulations to save us from a future that is almost too scary to imagine." James P. Sterba, University of Notre Dame, USA

"This is a wonderfully illuminating book presenting a new incisive analysis of the political economy of household services. It throws light on the increasing use of tax breaks in Continental and Nordic welfare states to support the private employment of household and care services. While the political legitimacy for this is that it helps the productivity of skilled professional workers in the knowledge economy and employment for those marginalised from the labor market, the reality is new social, gendered and ethnic inequalities and labour market dualisms. A major contribution to understanding the contradictions of neo-liberal welfare polices." - Fiona Williams, University of Leeds, UK

"Using public policy to create new incentive structures for the marketization of household services is one of the very important albeit under-analysed directions of change as welfare regimes are restructured. Nathalie Morel and Clément Carbonnier have assembled a truly impressive array of experts to describe and assess this redesign and thereby to make it fully visible to social policy analysis. The cross-disciplinary approach bringing together, among others, political scientists, economists and sociologists provides a rich array of lens with which to view reliance on tax credits to replace more familiar policy instruments in order to achieve market-making policy effects." - Jane Jenson, Université de Montréal, Canada

"This book puts into perspective some celebrated employment miracles, which, if on the one hand they allowed low skilled individuals to access jobs, at the same time reinforced old inequalities and generated new ones. With its multidisciplinary approach, this book sheds light on the increasing use of fiscal instruments in Continental and Nordic welfare states to foster low skilled employment, on the labour market outcomes of these policies, as well as on their social and welfare consequences. A recommended reading to all those who want to understand the complexity of post-industrial societies." - Giuliano Bonoli, Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration, Switzerland

"Walking With Ghosts In Papua New Guinea&#160;is among the best travel narratives I have read. Rick Antonson beautifully creates a sense of the environment in New Guinea as well as the local people he encountered. He effortlessly weaves in the dramatic wartime history of the Kokoda Trail as his party treks across rushing streams and up and down the mountainous terrain. I highly recommend this book to armchair travelers anxious to experience life in a truly wild, and in many ways primitive, world." &mdash;James P. Duffy, author of&#160;War at the End of the World "Antonson vividly recounts a two-week, 60-mile journey on the formidable Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea . . .&#160;An absorbing account of a physically and spiritually challenging journey." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; Praise for Rick Antonson "Antonson is an evocative and perceptive travel writer." &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not just about the journey, or standard travel writing. It&rsquo;s about story-telling, and Rick takes us on a magical, almost mystical adventure to destinations once only shrouded in mythology.&rdquo; &mdash;Peter Greenburg, travel editor, CBS News, on Full Moon Over Noah&rsquo;s Ark &#160; &ldquo;The remarkable combination of Rick Antonson exploring the ancient mysteries of Timbuktu matched with the rich culture of Mali that he captures so well . . . makes a page-turner from start to finish.&rdquo; &mdash;Jerry W. Bird, editor, Africa Travel Magazine on To Timbuktu for a Haircut &#160; &ldquo;One of the best books of the bunch.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times, 2012 holiday travel book roundup on Route 66 Still Kicks
