This engaging book provides cautious optimism for the prospect that a woman can be elected president … Han ably summarizes the scholarly literature addressing female candidates’ prospects … she examines the candidacies of recent female presidential candidates—Elizabeth Dole, Hillary Clinton, Michele Bachmann, and Carol Moseley Braun—in the presidential selection process … The advent of a female president, she concludes, depends primarily on the right candidate with the right strategy at the right time.  The fate of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 quest supposedly hinges on those factors. Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels.

“Book under review is enormous in scope and contains
most of the old and current results on extension problems. Many of the theorems
appear here for the first time in book form. The book is self-contained, and
the detailed arguments make it accessible to a wide audience, especially
graduate students interested in getting into the subject. … It will become a
standard reference in the subject, and it deserves a spot in the library.” (Garving
K. Luli, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 53 (1), January,
2016)“The book is a unique (and therefore best) systematic presentation of the parts of analysis linked with the extension and trace problems. It is also a rich source of references and historical information on the topics under consideration. Undoubtedly, the book will influence significantly the research on the subject. The book is addressed at researchers, but it is also useful for lecturers as a source of supplementary material for standard courses of real and functional analysis.” (Victor Milman, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1253, 2013)“The two-volume monograph is divided into ten chapters, with five chapters in each volume. … the book successfully conveys the authors’ coherent vision for the subject, with the emphasis on linear extension operators, finiteness properties, and the treatment of extension via selection. It is certain to become a standard reference in the field.” (Leonid V. Kovalev, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 j)

From the reviews of the fourth edition:“This fourth edition of a long-respected resource will become an indispensable reference for any researcher, teacher, or student who deals with problems of combinatorial optimization. The book qualifies as a first-class textbook, built on university courses, workshops, seminars, discussions, and presentations, and enriched with a large set of well-designed examples. … the author has provided solutions and hints, which make the text easier to use for self-study.” (Alexander Tzanov, Computing Reviews, September, 2013)“This book is a first course or class on graphs, networks and algorithms, and is indispensable for everybody who has to teach combinatorial optimization. The well-worked solutions to the exercises, or hints for some, are indispensable for the students, or readers, does not remain helpless. It is very helpful and suitable for graduate courses in combinatorics, as well as for independent study and research by students, teachers, professionals and researcher in this area. In short, the excellent book of Jungnickel, ought to available for reference.” (Francisco José Cano Sevilla, The European Mathematical Society, April, 2013)“This is certainly an accessible, serious, and time tested textbook at the graduate level on graph algorithms. I would also wholeheartedly recommend this book for professionals who work in this area as a reference book because of its thorough and encyclopedic nature. … this book gives a good presentation of some of the typical problems in the area, an insightful exposition of the related theoretical issues, as well as the associated classic algorithmic solutions with sufficient analysis.” (Zhizhang Shen, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1255, 2013)“Graphs, Networks, and Algorithms is a comprehensive and up-to-date textbook and reference on graph-theoretical methods in combinatorial optimization, together with fundamentals of graph theory. … A key strength of this book is the extensive references and commentary on extensions, generalizations, and further results … . The book is written at a level suitable for advanced mathematics or computer science undergraduates … . I give it a very strong recommendation as an advanced and up-to-date text and reference on combinatorial optimization and applied graph theory.” (Francis Fung, The Mathematical Association of America, January, 2012)

From the reviews:

"This book provides a mathematical introduction to the theory of queuing theory and matrix-analytic methods … . The style of the text … is concise and rigorous. The proofs are presented for study. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises inviting readers to prove supplementary results and review particular aspects of the theory. … I have found this to be a useful reference text and would recommend it to those wishing to delve into the mathematical theory of basic queuing theory." (Michael NG, SIAM Review, Vol. 48 (3), 2006)
"The book under review attempts to give an introduction to the theory of queues without losing contact with its applicability. … For instructors who prefer the topics covered, this book is a nice candidate as they do not need to choose the topics but only need to elaborate on them. Nevertheless, it would be a good reference book for an introductory course in queuing theory, stochastic modelling, or applied probability, and a valuable one to add to a professional’s bookshelf." (N. Selvaraju, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 c)

The book is rich and heterogeneous . . .  a readable and stimulating set of papers. Challenges to religious and moral beliefs from disagreement and evolution have become prominent in the philosophical literature, and an edited collection on these topics is timely . . . This book would work well as a set of readings for graduate or advanced undergraduate seminars in philosophy of religion or ethics.

'An important contribution to interactional studies, Prison Discourse demonstrates thorough and enlightening ways of interpreting the social control in prisons. Andrea Mayr closely examines written texts and classroom discussions, noting the word choices, phrase selections, modalities, and interactive moves among inmates and officers.' - Patricia E. O'Connor, Associate Professor, Georgetown University

'I recommend this well-written and well-researched book wholeheartedly to anyone interested in detailed lingustic analysis in any setting but its chief accomplishment must lie in the way it has penetrated to the heart of power relations in prison, that strange, total institution so hidden from us...It is additionally so rich methodologically that I hope it will find a place on research methods courses...it possesses both rigour and imagination.' - Diana Medlicott, Speech, Language and the Law

'This [is an] interesting and innovative book...an excellent source of data and a good attempt to take a linguistic analysis into a place where there has been much sociological theorising.' - Michelle Aldridge, British Association for Applied Linguistics News

“This collected edition brings together
contributions from leading scholars in American, British, German, French and
Italian politics to offer a fresh comparative perspective on the neglected
question of leadership strategies. … it aims to go beyond traditional analyses of
individual leaders by focusing on the specific institutional, cultural and
political frameworks in which they operate. … a timely and valuable
contribution to existing studies on leadership.” (Emma Bell, Cercles,
cerceles.com, February, 2016)"This excellent volume provides fresh insights to fundamental and long-standing, but largely ignored, questions regarding the role of leadership in politics. By adopting a neo-institutional framework and a common focus on the management of contextual and social uncertainty, the rich and diverse set of comparative case studies offers a nuanced perspective on leadership that is valuable to any student of politics and policy." Gregory Wawro, Professor of Political Science, Columbia University, USA"This wide-ranging volume begins the enormous - and enormously important - task of filling the gap between impressionistic leadership studies and the serious academic investigation of the politicians who are increasingly asserting the institutional powers and leveraging the charismatic opportunities of leadership. Broadly comparative, and combining case studies of both chief executives and legislative leaders, it is nonetheless united by clear themes, consistent categorizations, and systematic analysis that sheds new light on leadership."
