"The Media and Elections: A Handbook and Comparative Study would be highly appropriate to accompany a comparative media course, as many of the factors of advertising and news apply not only to elections in many of these examples. Lange and Ward's work would also be suitable for a comparative politics course that studied elections and campaigns in particular."&#8212;Communication Research Trends

Understanding History

"Daybell and Norrhem have provided a set of studies that are at once wide-ranging, and tightly connected by the issues of women’s often-overlooked roles in the exercise of power. This will be a valuable volume for undergraduates, graduates, and scholars alike, addressing issues of archives, material culture, the varieties of "soft" power, and global comparisons, which in total builds a compelling case for the centrality of gender and women’s roles in ruling."- James Coons, Miami University, USA
"Established researchers and student–scholars alike, and particularly scholars of women’s history, will relish this book for its wealth of information, clarity of writing, and new archival findings." 
- Goran Stanivukovic, Renaissance and Reformation

Gender and Political Culture in Early Modern Europe, 1400-1800

‘The author brings the light of vast experience and deep reflection in critiquing the prevailing economic narrative based on the neo-liberal free market capitalist model that has failed in solving human problems of poverty, injustice and inequality. He offers an alternate model of wholesome development that ensures sustainable progress, universal justice and peaceful coexistence. In this effort he pits the Gandhian economics premised on freedom from greed, possession and violence against the Adam Smith and Darwin-inspired economics of private property, mindless competition and free trade, and convincingly shows the superiority of the Gandhian model in ensuring gross human happiness. A seminal work in understanding contemporary economic and social woes and finding alternate ways of effective problem solving.’

Swami Bodhananda, Vedanta exponent and Chairman, Sambodh Foundation India and Sambodh Society, USA
‘This book gets back to the foundations of India’s religion based on the concept of universal humanism (vishwa kutumb) rather than viewing religion as a political instrument. It is both provocative and practical, and blends India’s culture with the international literature on "happiness". It is also very readable in its practical discussion of India’s economy.’ 
Dr Y. K. Alagh, Chancellor, Central University of Gujarat and Former Minister for Power, Planning and Science & Technology, Government of India
'The book is a 'must' for anyone who is interested in composite human development not in a linear or mechanical, but in a holistic, progressive and spiritual way.'

An Alternative Philosophy of Development

a tense and exciting story of fraud, blackmail, jealousy and passion from much-loved and bestselling author Iris Gower

When Night Closes In

John Cayley has already had a deep and lasting influence on the fields of new media studies, electronic literature, conceptual writing, and poetics – and this long-awaited volume elegantly frames his most important critical essays as well as his artistic practice. No one has done more to theorize, and translate, the philosophical and aesthetic complexity of digital language art, and this volume will endure as the definitive compilation of Cayley’s work.

Eines Abends im vergangenen September rief mein Bruder aus San Elmo an, um mir zu berichten, dass zwischen Mama und Papa wieder von Scheidung die Rede war. »Schön, was gibt’s sonst Neues?« »Diesmal ist es ernst«, sagte Mario. Um die Scheidung seiner betagten Eltern in letzter Sekunde zu verhindern, reist der erfolgreiche Autor Henry Molise in sein Heimatnest San Elmo, Colorado. Eine Reise zu Vater Nicola, aufgewachsen in der gnadenlosen Armut der Abruzzen, als Ehemann und Vater ein grandioser Tyrann, außer Haus ein guter Trinker und schlechter Verlierer. Und zu seiner Mutter Maria, die ihr Heil in Küche und Kirche sucht. Henry hilft Nick bei einem letzten großen Vorhaben: dem Bau einer Räucherkammer in den Bergen. Aber das Leben des Alten wird brüchig wie schlechter Mörtel. Am Ende sammelt

’Stambolieva combines comparative welfare state analysis with an actor-centred approach. She explains how national elites, social groups and global players shape policy choices in the context of a common socialist legacy but in variable transition processes leading to quite different contemporary social policy approaches in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia. It is a fine contribution to the genre.’ -Bob Deacon, Universities of Sheffield and York, UK 
'Perhaps because Marija Stambolieva represents a new generation of serious scholars from the region itself, she knows what really matters to its people; focusing on welfare instead of war and ethnic conflict, she not only contributes an empirically rich, deeply knowledgeable, and beautifully written study to the literature on welfare systems in general from cases of post-socialist transition, but also a rare window onto actual politics in Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia.’ -Susan L. Woodward, City University of New York, USA

"[T]he longer-duree history of France's ambiguous relationship with Islam (and headscarves) merits fuller integration into this debate. Bowen's book points usefully in this direction. While remaining grounded in the more recent history of the republic, to which he brings fresh perspective and illuminating analysis."---Mary Dewhurst Lewis, French Politics, Culture & Society

"We recommend this edited volume as covering a wide range of topics of current interest to researchers, science teachers, and teacher educators. Many chapters are relevant to all these groups as well as to mathematics educators. The book would be a valuable resource or text for undergraduate or postgraduate teacher education."&#8212;Science Education"The book is very well written and illustrated and understandably quite academic, since it is a collection of research papers. ...the book is a valuable contribution to the knowledge base of science teacher educators and professional developers".&#8212;Horizon Research, Inc.

Learning Science in the Schools

"...an essential read for the professional writing specialist interested in theory and a challenging read for those interested in research....it offers a wonderful new way of looking at the social role of texts in scientific communities and other organizations....This is a challenging book, provoking and productive. It has much to say--and suggests many topics and problems--if the reader happens to be contemplating any research on writing that takes into account social context (organizational or other), or is interested in the sociology of science, the history of print, or rhetoric as social construction."&#8212;Technical Communication Quarterly"...an excellent new book which offers a middle ground approach to context, actually attempting to operationalize a fragment of it. The importance of [the authors'] work rests on two features: a stunning synthesis of existing literatures on communication theory (especially with regard to print), and a lucid demonstration that formal simulations of communication in context are both possible and fruitful....In both scope and precision it easily outstrips most other current attempts at communication theory. The range of historical and theoretical material synthesized is impressive, as is its deployment in support of their theory....[It] must be regarded as an extremely important book, one that should bring together in discussion members of communication departments who don't think they share a common vocabulary or problematic, and in so doing could exert a decisive influence in the field."&#8212;Quarterly Journal of Speech"...provides a nearly endless source of clearly stated and well-justified hypotheses, ready for systematic testing in modern organizations with a variety of communication media....This rich text has so much to offer that one could benefit from it in different ways with repeated readings."&#8212;Administrative Science Quarterly"The scope of this book is quite ambitious....it makes some important general points that apply to today's emerging technologies."&#8212;International Journal of Human-Computer Studies"...bold and erudite, spanning social scientific and humanistic as well as modernist and postmodernist perspectives. Both a synthetic and a theoretically original work, it demonstrates the relevance to one another of the widely dispersed regions of communication, rhetorical, and literary theory. It should be essential reading for anyone aspiring to approach communication theory in a historically informed way. The exploration of four model 'societies' is especially productive and thought-provoking. To the skeptic, Kaufer and Carley provide evidence that something called communication theory is both definable and necessary."&#8212;John LyneUniversity of Iowa"...a bold and exciting beginning of a new way of looking at the history of literate practices, print culture, and the formation of disciplinary communicative networks. It is a remarkable fusion of the social sciences and the humanities; of sociology, rhetoric, cognitive studies and literacy studies. The ground-breaking modelling of communicative interactions under varying technological and social conditions provides a means to consider the relationship among the materiality of communications and communicative technologies, the formation of intersubjective understanding in thought collectives, social structure and the substantive content of communications."&#8212;Charles BazermanGeorgia Institute of Technology"...a comprehensive, fascinating, and useful work about the ubiquitous and often surprising influence of print on society....This analysis will be particularly interesting for empirical researchers, who will find that it is...generative of further thinking. I found myself stopping to make notes on possible studies as I read virtually every chapter."&#8212;Christina HaasPennsylvania State University"...a fascinating study of the influence of print....The interaction of...formal modelling with [an] historical perspective...makes the manuscript extremely fecund. This is a book with which scholars in many fields will want to spend sustained time....It is impressive both for its treatment of its central issue (the effect of print technology), going well beyond existing treatments of both sociologists and historians; and in coverage of many smaller themes....It is one of the most truly original works I have read in a long time."&#8212;Paul DiMaggioPrinceton University"...mounts a devastating critique of the widespread tendency, which has proved especially disastrous in the teaching of writing, to think that because the interaction of authors and readers is distant and mostly one-directional, we need not 'think of the engagement of authors and readers as social interaction. The recent rhetorical turn across numerous disciplines that Kaufer and Carley embrace and exemplify strikes me as one of the most hopeful signs in years for the future of education."&#8212;Gerald GraffUniversity of Chicago
