'I admire [The Voice of Pleasure] tremendously. I wish I had read Professor Callahan's work while I was working on my book.' - Louise Kaplan, author of Female Perversions

'Callahan's thesis is an interesting and persuasive one. She is enormously learned: her cultural and historical references range over an astonishing period of time...I was particularly impressed by the initial chapters on medieval poetry and romance and the final chapter on popular culture... The book is written in a very clear style and is very readable, accessible to students and scholars alike. It offers useful and original information about the French romantic literary tradition in historical perspective.' - Carla Freccero, Professor of Literature and Women's Studies at UC Santa Cruz and specialist in early modern continental history and literature, U.S. popular culture, and feminist and queer theory

"Culinary Aesthetics and Practices in Nineteenth-Century American Literature makes an original, interestingly diverse, and much-needed contribution to both the cultural study of American literature and the emerging field of critical food studies in the humanities." - Gregory Eiselein, Professor of English and Coffman University Distinguished Teaching Scholar, Kansas State University and author of Literature and Humanitarian Reform in the Civil War Era  "This cross-disciplinary collection investigates the complexities of making uniquely American food scenes out of continued exchanges transporting not merely food, but also its metaphors in a two-way flow of transatlantic responses. Elbert and Drews speak of a culinary declaration of independence as writers of popular fiction as well as of cookbooks and travel accounts shuttled between evocations of abundance and excess, scarcity and frugality to create intriguing culinary metaphors, compelling us to gloss anew changing ways of presenting food in writing." - Tamara S. Wagner, author of Longing: Narratives of Nostalgia in the British Novel, 1740-1890 and co-editor of Consuming Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century: Narratives of Consumption, 1700-1900

“These essays present useful, interesting, and informative data gleaned from what is evidently exemplary research. … As valuable contributions to the continuum of interdisciplinary history, they deserve long-term appreciation.” (Arthur Macgregor, Archives of Natural History, Vol. 44 (1), April, 2017)“These essays are uniformly strong, and this book is a timely and valuable collection. It is one more indication of the multidisciplinary possibilities entailed by environmental history. … This compendium provides us with a more nuanced view of empire, one that greatly expands our understanding of imperial histories.” (Christopher V. Hill, Environmental History, Vol. 21, April, 2016)“This is a well-rounded and important collection that brings together scholars active in different sub-disciplines. … The East India Company and the Natural world is an important volume, useful for specialists and for the classroom… .” (Jayeeta Sharma, Journal of Historical Geography, Vol. 51 (1), January, 2016)

The East India Company and the Natural World

'This outstanding book manages to do something that few other works on Obama's foreign policy have been able to do so far: provide an original and balanced assessment of one of the great transitional moments in American international relations one in which the United States is finding out that it cannot solve all the world's problems alone but where it is manifestly unwilling to relinquish leadership or power to anyone else. An important and wise study by one of Europe's top observers of the American scene."
 Michael Cox, co-director of IDEAS, The London School of Economics

"With the advantages afforded by his perch on the other side of the Atlantic, LaIdi offers a controversial take on the evolution of US foreign policy on Obama's watch. His book provides a fresh interpretation of recent developments in US statecraft and casts light on where US diplomacy may be headed in the years ahead."
 Charles A. Kupchan, professor of International Relations, Georgetown University and Whitney H. Shepardson Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations

"Limited Achievements is deeply thoughtful, diligently researched, and delightfully readable. LaIdi has developed clear metrics by which to judge Obama's foreign policy, which at times produce surprising results. His core argument is thoroughly convincing. Any serious student of US foreign policy needs to read this book."
 John Peterson, professor of International Politics, University of Edinburgh

“This book is certainly rich in detail that will facilitate self-training in technical skills sets for self-directed language teachers keen to effect a transition from face-to-face teaching to teaching online. … This book comes highly recommended. … book, overall, rightly claims to serve the needs of users in both formal and informal settings: whether trainees on a course or self-directed teachers with all combinations of pedagogical experience and technical competence interested in laying out their own pathways for professional development.” (Raymond Sheehan, Independence, Issue 26, March, 2016)

"...this book conventienly brings them [primary source materials] together, arranged thematically in a way that allows researchers to gain better insight into the complicated relationship between these two Republican presidents. Summing Up: Recommended." - CHOICE

"Definitive is a word scholars tend to avoid, and for good reason. But there is no better word to describe this superbly edited collection that illustrates more fully than anything to date the complex, politically awkward, and yet ultimately touching collaboration between America's thirty-first and thirty-fourth Presidents. Products of the American heartland, they drew opposing lessons from their intense involvement with the rest of the world. Yet they looked for common ground where it could be found, and in the end their differences were generational as much as ideological. Timothy Walch does them both justice, in a volume that anyone interested in twentieth century America will find hard to put down." - Richard Norton Smith, presidential historian

"In this impressive documentary history, threaded with perceptive commentary, Timothy Walch examines the complicated friendship and 'uneasy collaboration' between two of America's most noted Republican presidents. Herbert Hoover and Dwight D. Eisenhower illuminates not only the character and ideology of its protagonists but also the bumpy terrain of Republican politics in the Eisenhower era. This volume is a welcome contribution to presidential studies." - George H. Nash, author of the first three volumes of The Life of Herbert Hoover

"Whatever his failures as president, Herbert Hoover was one of the most impressive men of the twentieth century. His long correspondence with Dwight Eisenhower sheds important light on Hoover's great record of public service, the state of the Republican Party at mid-century, and the minds of two American presidents." - Jonathan Alter, author of The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope

'Overall the collective intention to address this highly problematic issue of rape from a medieval and early-modern perspective is very laudable, and all authors challenge our traditional understanding of the some of the key texts in Middle English and Old French literature. This provocation proves to be stimulating and will engender future studies of this topic...Elizabeth Robertson and Christine Rose have a made a valid contribution to future investigations of rape in the Middle Age.' - Professor Albrecht Classen, Mediaevistik

“The book provides an outstanding treatment of medieval Jewish definitions of avodah zarah found in halakhic works, biblical and talmudic commentary, and philosophical writings. … Readers from many disciplines will find it both useful and accessible, as will many readers outside the academy.” (Benjamin D, Sommer, The Journal of Religion, Vol. 99 (3), 2019)“G. has done a wonderful job in learning Hinduism by reading widely, and by the fruits of his many friendships and contacts. … For those of us unfamiliar with rabbinic ways of thinking, G.’s book is eye-opening, as new ways of engaging the religions of Asia suddenly emerge. Christian theologians of religions can be grateful too, relieved of the burden of thinking that all the intellectual work of understanding pluralism is ours to do.” (Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Theological Studies, Vol. 78 (2), June, 2017)

"Jacobs is the foremost scholar on Chinese pornography, especially in the field of female consumption of pornography. This book builds upon her previously published work but seeks to both both interrogate recent shifts in pornographic consumption and production and revisit some longer-standing themes from her earlier work. By placing pornography within this specific geographical and critical-theoretical landscape, this work breaks new ground and will have a significant impact on the fields of porn studies, LGBTQ studies, and visual culture studies." Sharif Mowlabocus, Senior Lecturer, University of Sussex, UK

"The Afterglow of Women's Pornography in Post-Digital China envisions women's pornography as an imagined civil society that starts taking into account sexual difference, sex-positive feminisms, and various developments towards queer aesthetics. This book brilliantly documents the attitudes of disobedience, emotionality, erotic consciousness and open discussion proposed by young Chinese women, both from Mainland China and Hong Kong, whose aesthetics on pornography constitute an important aspect of women's ongoing struggle for identity, equality and legitimacy." - Petula Sik Ying Ho, Associate Professor, The University of Hong Kong

"This book leads us through an intellectual and inspiring journey which wanders into the erotic lives of modern Chinese women. It challenges readers to reconsider the intricacies of different kinds of pornography, while reflecting on the emergence of a new civil society. The extraordinary ride into the hearts of women is full of surprising turns that will undoubtedly open up new debates." - Donna Chu, Associate Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

'This collection clearly demonstrates that Optimality Theory finds fruitful applications in the domain of pragmatics. The papers show how to overcome the traditional gap between linguistic meaning and utterance meaning. Conceptions like relevance, conversational implicature, pragmatic anomaly, grammaticalization, recoverability, and constructional iconicity appear in a new light'. - Manfred Krifka, Professor in General Linguistics, Insititute for German Speech and Linguistics, Humboldt University, Germany

'Though the idea of optimization was present in the pragmatic enterprise from the very beginning, we had to wait for this collection in order to see how to integrate pragmatics into Optimality Theory.' - Professor Paul Smolensky, Department of Cognitive Science, Johns Hopkins University

"The authors make good on their promise to show that within its value-theoretic framework 'open Marxism' can address the 'significant structural changes that differentiate the forms taken by capitalism over space and time'. In doing so, they produce a compelling account of the Spanish crisis, tracing it back to specific characteristics and limitations in its post-war development, and following their impact in a deft narrative that situates current class struggles in Spain in interwoven global, regional (EU), national and local context. It represents a considerable advance on rival approaches within comparative and international political economy, and should be compulsory reading for exponents of 'British' and 'American' IPE, or devotees of the 'varieties of capitalism' contrast between liberal and coordinated market economies. Where these approaches simplify the world and obscure the dynamics of change, Charnock, Purcell and Ribera-Fumaz illuminate them by acknowledging its complexity and giving a clear, multi-layered and theoretically informed account of it. Comparative Open Marxist political economy has come of age." - Paul Cammack, City University of Hong Kong

"A very interesting and innovative feature of this book is how the authors combine theoretical developments in international political economy, state theory and urban geography so as to present an insightful account of crisis and revolt in Spain. This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the past, present and future of capitalism in the European South." - Miren Etxezarreta, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Spain

"An excellent and careful analysis of capital's failure in one of the countries in which that failure is most dramatic. A well-narrated tale that makes it clear that it is time to say goodbye to the hateful world of capital." - John Holloway, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico

"The book provides an intrepid and fascinating account, which answers a lot of questions while giving rise to others. Its rapid narrative pace makes it an exciting read, and it creatively combines insights from political economy, state theory, and urban geography." - Antipode

"This well-written and accessible text sheds light on new uses, conceptions and developments of learning. The focus on 'augmenting', whether teaching, collaborating, or using social media, is set against a sound backdrop of theory and research. The authors' experience in these areas has enabled them to offer a critical text with helpful examples and explicit guidance. It is a book that transcends education settings from higher education to primary schools as well as cutting across disciplinary boundaries - an all-round best buy." - Maggi Savin-Baden, Professor of Higher Education Research, Coventry University, UK

'Meticulously researched, lucidly argued, and accessible at all times, The Anti-Hero in the American Novel is a welcome addition to studies of the anti-hero in 1960s American fiction. Simmons offers a textual and contextual analysis of a range of countercultural novels, some already well known and others unjustly neglected that will appeal to students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in American literature.' Chris Gair, Birmingham University, UK and author of The American Counterculture

'Simmons offers a welcome new perspective on the anti-hero in 1960s American culture. His book qualifies conventional post-structuralist readings of this important phenomenon and presents a lucid, informed thesis that is both original and convincing.' Paul McDonald, Senior Lecturer in American Literature and Coordinator of the Creative and Professional Writing Program, University of Wolverhampton, UK
