"... a must-have text on this subject. It provides not only students, but those who deal with SCADA, insight into the various technologies and systems that exist along with their differences—both strengths and weaknesses. ... a very thoughtful resource on such an important, and rapidly changing, topic. This book also provides the next generation of power engineers with a ready reference to understand where we have been and where we can go in the not-too-distant future."—David W. Roop, from IEEE Power and Energy Magazine, January/February 2016"As a power system operator having nearly four decades of experience and as an end user of the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, I have always found the available literature on SCADA as limited and in the form of documents by vendors or in the form of research papers. This book is a first of its kind in the sense that it is ‘vendor neutral’ and very lucidly brings out various fundamental concepts related to SCADA. The book provides an excellent reference material both for beginners and practicing professionals. I would strongly recommend the book to all power system engineers as an essential reference material. … It provides an understanding of the historical and legacy systems as well as an insight into the new technologies. Automation is the key to the future, and the book appropriately delves into this aspect."—Sushil Kumar Soonee, Power System Operation Corporation, New Delhi, India"The authors cover all of the building blocks and detailed functionality of electric power SCADA systems, including a good deal of legacy hardware and older techniques. This is important because most large existing systems contain a mix of new and old equipment, with the latter being very poorly documented and therefore hard for newcomers in the field to understand. I would recommend this book to college students/new graduates as well as professionals coming from other industri

‘Nicholas Tate enthusiastically and cogently exposes the harmfulness of liberalism in education and offers an alternative - conservatism as advanced by four critical writers and theorists not often associated with it - T.S. Eliot, Michael Oakeshott, Hannah Arendt and E D Hirsch. The Conservative Case for Education is not an apology for conservatism; it is a provocation.’ 
— William G. Durden, President Emeritus, Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA), Chief Global Engagement Officer, the International University Alliance (Boston, MA) and Joint Appointment Professor (research), School of Education, Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD)
'Through exploring the work of Eliot, Oakeshott, Arendt and Hirsch alongside each other, Tate makes a compelling case for the significance of knowledge of and from the past to the project of education. This view is conservative because it looks to preserve culturally elite knowledge through its intergenerational transmission. However, it is also, at best, a radical challenge to today’s educational groupthink that denies children access to the knowledge of the past and leaves them, floundering, with nothing beyond their own narrow horizons.'
— Joanna Williams is education editor at spiked. The full review, Education: a radical tradition,can be read here: http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/an-educational-revolution/
"As a (small-c) conservative in education, allies are few and far between, and you cling to them where you find them."
— Michael Merrick, www.schoolsweek.co.uk
"This impressive book [is]an elegantly written argument in favour of a conservative alternative to the hitherto unchallenged (saysTate) groupthink of liberal educators. Here is someone willing to promote a thoroughly unfashionableand unpopular view of education, someone who is – to quote the book’s subtitle – prepared to go ‘against the current’."— George Walker, Journal of Research in International Education

"Higher Education and Policy for Creative Economies in Africa is an interesting and timeous book, doing much to expand the creative economy literature and understanding of the sector in a global south context. Communian, Hracs and England have succeeded in drawing together various case studies, including film, design, craft and cultural events, from a range of African countries, into a coherent volume. The challenges, as well as the huge potential, of the creative economy in Africa is discussed by African researchers and practitioners themselves, using a range of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The result is a richly detailed, realistic view of creative economies in Africa that will be of use to researchers, students, practitioners and policy-makers." -- Jen Snowball, Professor of Economics, Rhodes University and Chief Research Strategist, South African Cultural Observatory 
"In recent years have we have seen a growing interest in Africa’s creative economies, but their value, ecology and nature have not been adequately credited or documented. This book provides insights into important aspects of the creative economies in various African countries, exploring the ecology of these activities from how they emerge and are passed on through generations, to the training, systems and policies that support them. By including the perspectives of academics, practitioners and experts, the book has a wide audience and has captured data that should influence policy on creative economies and inform higher education stakeholders." --Lilac Adhiambo Osanjo, Director, School of the Arts and Design, University of Nairobi, Kenya

"This edited volume by Comunian, Hracs and England is a highly relevant and timely intervention given the increasing attention to the interactions between creative economies in Africa and socioeconomic development processes and outcomes. It is a rich and dynamic contribution that showcases the value of the co-production of knowledge between practitioners and academic researchers across disciplines. The analyses offered engage critically with concepts and theories by interrogating new data as well as historical material to reveal the significant and complex roles of higher education and national policy in various creative economies. The attention to the key economies of Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa provides a welcome balance between breadth and depth in the volume’s coverage across time periods. The editors and authors have provided a book that will be a very valuable resource to academic, policy and practice communities." -- Eka Ikpe, Senior Lecturer, Development Economics in Africa and Deputy Director, African Leadership Centre, King's College London　

"It is always an honour to represent the arts and culture sector of Lagos State. Blessed with unbridled energy and creativity the creative sector remains at the heart of the identity of the diverse communities of this continent. The development of dynamic institutions is key to ensuring sustainability in this sector but is no mean feat in these fast changing times, when we are increasingly global and yet more locally focused than we have been for generations. How best can we support the weaving together of traditions, skills and ancient nuances with the ability of the digital age to leap frog conventional systems? This is what this erstwhile study helps us better understand. My congratulations and deepest respect go to all the contributors and editors of this passionate, thorough and timely study." -- Polly Alakija, Artist and Chairman Lagos State Council for Arts and Culture
