'Finally! A book for the general public about Jewish languages that’s as informative as it is enjoyable... This book is a must-read for anyone interested in languages, Jewish history, or both.'

- Sarah Bunin Benor, Director of the Jewish Language Project and co-editor of the Journal of Jewish Languages

'At last a book on Jewish languages worldwide for curious readers beyond the academy! This book tells us all about not only Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and Jewish Persian, but Jewish Provençal and a dictionary in Yiddish of pidgin Zulu for Jews working in early 20th-century South Africa! A buffet in book form.'
- John H McWhorter,Professor of Linguistics, Columbia University

'From Amharic to Zulu, Aaron Rubin and Lily Kahn's delightful new book looks at the linguistic heritage of Jews across the world... Such examples of English written in Hebrew are notably few, particularly considering the language is the most common now spoken among diaspora Jews. For as Aaron D Rubin and Lily Kahn show in their new book, Jewish Languages From A to Z, Jewish communities in the past often transcribed the language of their countries of residence into Hebrew characters.'
- Simon Rocker, How Maimonides is linked to the first mention of pizza, The Jewish Chronicle, www.thejc.com, October 26, 2020

Jewish Languages from A to Z

This is an immensely practical and useable book. Rather than an academic tome that sits on the shelf to be dusted off for obscure points of law, this book has been at my elbow, as something to reach for most days since it arrived from Bloomsbury.

&#8220;A worthwhile addition to the relatively small number of decent books about Prince. It&#8217;s certainly bound to be a conversation (or possibly debate) starter for serious Prince fans.&#8221;

"The book is a riot, a sprightly thriller that will make you not only want to discover more Bengali cultural norms of the vintage era but also create rational stirrings within you to go look up more of Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay&#8217;s works."

'The 1895 Venezuela crisis, the Franco-Prussian War, World War I – key events in the European and transatlantic historical experience have long shaped international relations theory. But what about the Ming invasion of Vietnam, the Qing unification, the 1894 Sino-Japanese War? In this innovative volume, Haggard and Kang argue that these and other key events in East Asian history belong in the IR canon in order for scholars to better understand world politics.'

Miss Merkel: Mord auf hoher See

"Alireza Taheri's book provides the ultimate proof that a combination of Hegel's dialectics and Lacan's psychoanalytic theory is the best instrument to analyse the madness of our late capitalist modernity. Spectre of Madness is not yet another book on Hegel and Lacan - it is simply a book for everyone who wants to understand how things could have gone so wrong after Fukuyama proclaimed the end of history." Slavoj Žižek, Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities of the University of London
"Taheri clearly and perceptively retraces the　complexity of　modern Western philosophy from Kant　onward,　using the key concept of Diremption. This book is a precious tool for anyone　looking for an up-to-date examination of　psychoanalysis through philosophical reflection."Sergio Benvenuto, Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council in Rome
"In Hegelian-Lacanian Variations on Late Modernity: Spectre of Madness, Alireza Taheri creatively recasts the notion of negativity at the intersection of German idealism and psychoanalysis. On the basis of a Lacanian rendition of Hegelian contradiction, Taheri’s book meticulously and insightfully explores a series of irresolvable antinomies both organizing and unsettling human subjects. Kant famously asked ‘What may I hope?’ Taheri, on the basis of his wide-ranging assessment of the contradictions that make (and unmake) who we are, could be said to confront us with the equally important sobering question: ‘For what may I not hope?’" Adrian Johnston, Department of Philosophy University of New Mexico

Beyond Think-Pair-Share

In my experience, most managers sincerely want to be better supporters of their people's development. They tend to hold back because they feel like amateurs at the job. Lisa Koss is a wonderful guide -- knowledgeable, thoughtful, generous, and clear. She has created a treasure-trove of a book that will help you feel significantly more capable in this role. When you finish, you'll not only want to thank her, you'll be ready to do so in the best way you can--by paying it forward!

Frankly speaking, I love this book. In my long career in high-tech, I recognize that this approach is the fabric for numerous anecdotal things I’ve learned over the years, and it includes many topics that I’ve not seen before in print. This book is a sound foundation and framework that ties it all together in a very logical, very repeatable process, which can subsequently help organizations get results and drive growth in our business. Going forward, I certainly plan to keep this model next to me. And I enjoyed this book, delighted at how the book interweaves aspects of Lisa’s fascinating personal life and journey. I wish she had written this book 30 years ago, so I might have found it earlier in my career.

Koss takes coaching practice to the next level with her focus on the "manager-coach". They will thank her for this very practical and applicable guide to coaching. Most impressive were her insights on accelerating trust: the oft-missed, requisite foundation necessary to develop others. I have rarely seen better.

It’s as if Lisa is by your side, encouraging you to experiment, exploring your own motivations about why you want to be a coach/are a coach, and firmly but gently insisting you find your own voice and style. Lisa has written this in a way that coaches you, as you learn to be a coach for others, taking nothing for granted, from the establishment of trust through to the point of letting go of who you were as a coach before reading the book, to the confident coach you have become. Lisa’s extensive cross-cultural experiences infused her writing in a way that is easy to read and makes you feel like you have a trusted guide you can turn to when you need additional support. If you are just starting out, or if you are an experienced coach, this book will provide you with either a well laid out roadmap, or the helpful reminders you’ve been looking for to take coaching to the next level. We’ve rolled out this coaching approach across the globe and are thrilled to now have her insights all in one book.


Karen Lutz, Vice President of Talent and Leadership Development, Xylem Inc.

Leading for Learning is a very distinctive book and thought piece for managers in the post COVID world. Lisa Koss’ practices and wisdom glow through every chapter. Her work is an evolutionary step forward for leaders in the context of new uncertainties who need to accomplish seemingly impossible goals. What I appreciate most about the guidance and these practices is how she clearly outlines the art form and deep gestalt of what it means for managers to be self-aware of their own needs, interests, and wants, and how to engage and motivate others to accomplish their own AND collective goals. Like a master conductor channeling the potential of individual musicians of a symphony, Leading to Learn illuminates how a manager can coach and unleash the magic of human motivation, energy and intelligence of those they lead.

'This book is a must have for anyone interested in Alexander III, as it is the only comprehensive scholarly account of his pontificate. It will also prove useful for those interested in medieval relations between European rulers and the papacy, the development of Church law, and any of the volume’s many topics. Each essay is well-written, and all of them bring new or neglected information to the scholarly discussion, updating the status of modern scholarship in Alexander III.'  Catholic Books Review  'A fair assessment of the lengthy pontificate of Alexander III [1159-1181] has proved elusive. This volume attempts, and succeeds in, a fresh investigation of what have been the traditional areas of inquiry...' The Historian  '... an outstanding collection that will serve as a starting point for Anglophone study of a crucial pontificate for a long time.' Medieval Review   'Anne Duggan’s two papers deserve to be singled out. She gives an excellent overall assessment of Alexander’s pontificate and also a detailed treatment of his decretals with special reference to a re-evaluation of his treatment of marriage. The range of the other papers is wide indeed, covering the papal schism ... the empire ... Alessandria and the Lombard League ... the papal patrimony ... France ... Spain ... Becket’s pallium ... Henry II ... Byzantium ... Venice ... and the Crusades. All these papers merit close study.'  Journal of Ecclesiastical History '... this study provides a plethora of rich material of the experiences of single people from a wide variety of walks of life, providing interesting insights into home-making, and the ownership of particular goods and how they were used in identity creation.

"In many introductory methods classes, instructors cobble together numerous sources to design a robust class. This volume has it all in one place—an explanation of research questions, a strategy to research the literature and annotate it, clear explanations of the major research methods of the field of technical communication, instructions on writing up the research report—plus examples of award-winning, full-length, peer-reviewed studies pulled from our own major journals, which are much more relatable to new researchers than trying to see how psychology or education studies apply them. Throughout, its tone is reassuring, its explanations crystal. I strongly recommend anyone teaching or becoming a new researcher use this volume as their introduction." – Angela Eaton, PhD, Associate Professor of Technical Communication and Rhetoric, Texas Tech University 

"This revised edition offers thorough, practical, and applied information for anyone interested in technical communication research. The rich content and supplementary materials give readers diverse techniques for improving their research practices. This is a must-read primer that is as effective for the classroom as it is the workplace." – Ryan Boettger, PhD, Associate Professor of Technical Communication, University of North Texas 

"As the field of technical communication has grown in the last decades, well-designed research has become especially crucial to the advancement of knowledge. Written in an accessible style, the second edition of A Research Primer for Technical Communication: Methods, Exemplars, and Analysis will prove useful to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying technical communication research approaches." – Marjorie Rush Hovde, PhD, Associate Professor of Technical Communication, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis

"A Research Primer for Technical Communication: Methods, Exemplars, and Analysis (2nd ed.) delivers what its title promises […] [T]his edition retains the most important characteristic of the first one: clear, straightforward explanations that should be accessible and engaging to all readers. A must-have for any student or professional technical communicator." – Saul Carliner, PhD, Professor of Educational Technology, Concordia University (Montréal)
