ABC Book with Cows & Dragons

Praise for previous editions:&ldquo;The State of the World Atlas is something else &ndash; an occasion of wit and an act of subversion&hellip;These are the bad dreams of the modern world, given color and shape and submitted to a grid that can be grasped instantaneously.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Times &ldquo;Unique and uniquely beautiful...a discerning eye for data and a flair for the most sophisticated techniques of stylized graphic design; the atlas succeeds in displaying the geopolitical subtleties of global affairs in a series of dazzling color plates&hellip;tells us more about the world today than a dozen statistical abstracts or scholarly tomes.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Times &ldquo;Coupled with an unusual non-distorting map projection and a series of brilliant cartographic devices, this gives a positively dazzling set of maps. It deserves to be widely used.&rdquo; &mdash;New Society &ldquo;A super book that will not only sit on your shelf begging to be used, but will also be a good read. To call this book an atlas is like calling Calvados, applejack &ndash; it may be roughly accurate but it conveys nothing of the richness and flavour of the thing. Its inventive brilliance deserves enormous rewards.&rdquo; &mdash;New Scientist &ldquo;Outspoken cataloguing of global oppressions and inequities, painstakingly sourced.&rdquo; Independent on Sunday &ldquo;Packed with fascinating facts and figures on everything from the international drugs industry to climate change.&rdquo; &mdash;Evening Standard &ldquo;A political reference book which manages to translate hard, boring statistics into often shocking visual statements... required reading.&rdquo; &mdash;NME

"Just when it seemed like scholars had little new to write about Hitchcock's films, Abramson provides us with an original reading ranging from the early British films to the American productions of the 60s and 70s. By integrating the director's extensive nonfiction writings and interviews with the self-reflexive artistry that characterizes his movies, Abramson reveals how Hitchcock contradicts traditional auteurist claims about his work, allowing readers to (re)consider how the director articulates the complexities of the creative process. Abramson's accessible writing will encourage those new to Hitchcock to relish the joy of discovering his classic movies and film scholars to applaud her insights into this treacherous cinematic landscape." - Lester D. Friedman, Professor, former Chair, Media and Society Program, Hobart College, USA and William Smith College, USA

Hitchcock & the Anxiety of Authorship

Selected by Choice magazine as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2016“Hazbun’s writing style is fluid and eloquent, her observations engaging and persuasive, not only broaching the literary and historical significance of the texts in question but also exploring some of the key theoretical principles that underpin questions of cultural identity, power, and legacy alongside their expression in medieval narrative.” (Şizen Yiacoup, Modern Language Review, Vol. 113 (04), October, 2018)“The study is likewise about the underlying sources, perceptions, rhetoric, and, one might add, philosophy of history. … This is a fascinating and remarkably nuanced analysis. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (E. H. Friedman, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)

Activism, Inc

'Kunze's collection offers a broad array of critical responses to Wes Anderson's films - from their quirky sensibility, their portrayal of idiosyncratic characters, their relation to neoliberal fantasies, and the importance of music to Anderson's collaboration with Noah Baumbach. The Films of Wes Andserson is invaluable for bringing us much closer to understanding Anderson's significance as an American Indiewood filmmaker." - Warren Buckland, Reader in Film Studies, Oxford Brookes University, UK

"Spanning a diverse range of perspectives on a figure who is now undoubtedly recognized as the icon of the indie era, this collection valuably complicates and challenges the generalized notions of Wes Anderson that characterize popular opinion. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the work of this director as more than merely 'whimsical.'" - Claire Perkins, Film and Television Studies, Monash University, USA, and author of American Smart Cinema

"Appropriately, the essays collected in this volume provide an array of perspectives on a filmmaker whose work consistently fights against isolation. It is fitting indeed that the first serious book-length exploration of Anderson's work is a truly collaborative effort. Including fourteen essays from fourteen distinct points of view, the reader comes away from Kunze's collection with a sense of the filmmaker and his unusually inclusive worldview, as well as a sense of respect for the power of a critical conversation (as opposed to the monologue)." - Devin Orgeron, Associate Professor, Director of Film Studies, North Carolina State University, USA, and author of "La Camera-Crayola: Authorship Comes of Age in the Cinema of Wes Anderson"

"You're doing something fantastic here, with programs like Say Yes . . . you have declared that no child in the city of Syracuse should miss out on a college education because they can't pay for it. And so we're hoping more cities follow your example . . . because what you're doing is critical not just to Syracuse's future, but to America's future." - President Barack Obama in a speech in Syracuse, August 2013

"Say Yes to Education is one of the most innovative and comprehensive school reform efforts in America today. In this important book, Gene I. Maeroff offers a clear and compelling analysis of this project and situates his study in the larger context of the national debate over the direction of school reform. Readers will not only learn why this work is important to the future of Syracuse, but they will also see that the lessons to be learned from this project have profound implications for education throughout the United States. Maeroff brings great insight and clarity to this project. Educators, policymakers and anyone concerned about the future of American education will find much to learn in this book." - Pedro A. Noguera, Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education, New York University, USA

"Highly recommended." - Choice

"Amid urban school reform failures by both government agencies and big-ticket donors since the 1990s comes Gene I. Maeroff's report on the Say Yes foundation's work in Syracuse, where it guarantees free college tuition to every high school graduate. In cooperation with city officials, business leaders, and college presidents, the Say Yes foundation seeks no less than improving schools and student lives but goes further in wanting to revitalize the economic, social, and cultural life of this mid-size city. While it is a work in progress after five years and much remains to be done in Syracuse, Say Yes's work does offer a model of school and city cooperation that promises an educational and urban makeover. Maeroff documents in clear, crisp language the errors in earlier reform models, bumps in Syracuse's road, and lessons anchored in Say Yes's ambitious efforts. Reformers need to heed the errors, bumps, and lessons in this ambitious, far-reaching venture." Larry Cuban, Professor Emeritus of Education, Stanford University, USA
