“This new biography of Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625 – 1712 — or Cassini I as he was later known, in order to distinguish him from other astronomers of his dynasty — is to be welcomed. … It is well illustrated, containing some unusual and rare subjects … . the book is a very interesting read, and is certainly to be recommended.” (Richard McKim, The Observatory, Vol. 138 (1266), October, 2018)

'Dr. Paul Ghuman has written an important and useful book concerning caste and its effects and persistence in the Midlands area of England, a task for which he is, eminently qualified eminently qualified, having published widely on the ethnic identity of Asians living in England and a variety of topics including multiculturalism and education. …The book presents a very interesting examination of how caste is used in a new setting to define and differentiate communities. … written in a very accessible style and could be used either in undergraduate or graduate courses.'Missiology
'Ghuman's latest book is a highly original study of the Indian "Untouchables" - the Dalit. In a highly readable style, he reveals that the Dalit remain an oppressed minority, but that education is providing a means for progression. Based on scholarly research in a Punjabi village and the English Midlands, this is a delightful book in every respect.'Colin Baker, Bangor University, Wales
'Paul Ghuman has produced a highly sensitive and perceptive account of the lives and experiences of British Indian Dalit individuals. This seminal book provides a unique perspective on the complexity of these individuals’ position within contemporary Britain and on their families’ origins in India. Ghuman is to be congratulated on conducting such an original, rich and insightful study.' Martyn Barrett, University of Surrey, UK
'This book enhances our understanding of the Dalits, by providing new empirical data on a group whose experiences remain under researched. The strengths of the book are the comparative element between the UK and the Punjab and the focus on young people and their parents’ views on the caste system. This book would be an excellent addition to courses on education, sociology and social theory and could be used by students, teachers, lecturers and educational practitioners. The book enhances our understanding of “outsider” and “other” groups… it is a welcome addition to current literature on the experiences of minority ethnic groups.'Educational Review
'Paul Ghuman’s book provides an excellent introduction to caste describing the different concepts of caste, its historical and political development and its continuing, intimate relationship with religious movements, including those promising an escape from the stigma of ‘untouchability’. For this alone the book is worth reading… However, the book also provides insights into the operation and impact of caste on people’s lives in the UK today… Overall, the book helps the reader to understand this important influence on the psychological and social experience of some South Asians in Britain.'The Psychologist
'Professor Ghuman should be congratulated for undertaking such a brave venture for such exposure could result in rejection from the very communities he is studying. He seems to have negotiated the balance between being true to his findings and illustrating the on-going issue of caste which seems to be embedded in the psyche of some British-Indians and Sikhs… This book is written in an accessible style and would be an invaluable starting point for sociology students, students studying education and researchers who want to delve deeper into the struggles, achievement and attainment of Indian pupils.' British Journal of Educational Studies
'… the book is written in an easily accessible, nontechnical style which should ensure a wide readership about an important issue in some schools and communities in contemporary Britain.'Cambridge Journal of Education
'Ghuman’s analysis of the identity formation of Dalit immigrants deserves attention… the book offers a fascinating and thought-provoking read… this volume is an excellent contribution to a vast growing area of study and should give momentum to further studies of Dalit diasporas in other parts of the world.'Contemporary South Asia

'... a meticulously detailed and invaluable scholarly resource, whose breadth and scope will surely contribute to the growing reappraisal of More's career ... His text supplies a substantial platform for critical editions of her poems and letters ... The richness of [Smith's] documentation succeeds in releasing More into the broad context of her times. A salient feature of Smith's remarkably condensed account is its acute observations on More's career and temperament.'  Notes and Queries  '... a wonderful addition to textual scholarship and an important reference work for those interested in the writings of Hannah More and her circle.'  Year's Work in English Studies  ’... this book is quite simply indispensable for future scholars of More and her circle.’  Huntington Library Quarterly  ’... this well-researched and captivating book is a compelling example of the way in which meticulous and passionate archival investigation can rewardingly cross-fertilize more conventional ’literary’ approaches to the works of authors participating in the still vibrant manuscript culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.’  Modern Language Review

'"Continental" tradition in philosophy after Kant is so often felt to compare favorably with its "analytical" counterpart.  There is much to be said for the orientation he associates with the Continental tradition, and elaborates in ways that helpfully bring out many of its important contributions to our self-understanding.'

’Stroud’s book is the outcome of serious research....[It] is highly recommendable for its penetrating analysis of some key discourses that have been shaping public policies regarding popular music in Brazil. ...the examination of recent musical enterprises is a welcome addition to the scholarly debates on what direction such initiatives should take. Stroud is correct when he points to a more fluid notion of national identity in Brazilian popular music today, which has changed the way the label MPB has been appropriated - a phenomenon which demands further study. The aspects of the book that generate polemics are even more important, to the extent that change can only come through conflict, not through conciliation.’ International Association for the Study of Popular Music  ’... a fresh approach ...This book is an important scholarly addition to the existing bibliography on Brazilian popular music, and will be essential reading for those studying this field.  It is underpinned by original research and rigorous analysis, and is accompanied by a very useful bibliography.’ Journal of Latin American Studies  ’... a major study by Sean Stroud ... a persuasive narrative ... a welcome addition to the study of one of the most singular music movements of the twentieth century.’ Journal of Popular Music  '...a thoroughly researched and well-conceived exploration ... [the book] offers a fresh perspective that provides an important opportunity for self-reflection and awareness among theorists, researchers and students concerned with Brazilian music. ...a crucial contribution to studies on Brazilian music and ideology.'

’This book identifies an important gap in the academic literature and provides a rigorous examination on law applicable to online auctions. Christine Riefa pulls no punches in this invaluable book; her empirical research gives credibility to her findings.’ Pablo Cortés, University of Leicester, UK  ’This book offers a comprehensive survey of the most important developments in online auctions. This is an ambitious book containing valuable analysis of contract formation, consumer redress, unfair contract terms, and intermediary liability. Dr Riefa has managed to cover these topics in an informative and detailed manner. A must-have for IT lawyers.’ Andres Guadamuz, University of Sussex, UK  ’This book provides a thorough and detailed exploration of the legal protection of consumers using online auction platforms. The research and analysis is impressive in its scope and is underpinned by empirical surveys of 28 UK online auction sites. The book covers significant EU developments, but its analysis and recommendations are relevant to all jurisdictions aiming to develop a legal regime for the regulation of online auctions.’ Kate Tokeley, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand  ’This book presents an exhaustive overview of serious legal problems relating to one of the major e-commerce trading forms - online auctions - with a special focus on consumer protection rights, taking into account recent developments at the European level. It is one of those rare books which really provides an in-depth comparison of different jurisdictions and their approaches. Control of contract clauses and liability issues are excellently discussed.’ Gerald Spindler, University of Goettingen, Germany

'... an engaging, smart and important study, one that promises to add much to our understanding of early modern print culture, the rise of the author function, and the various ways in which the "genres of liminality interpellated the reader within new networks of commerce and consumption.' Jonathan Gil Harris, Professor of English, George Washington University, USA and author of Sick Economies: Drama, Mercantilism and Disease in Shakespeare's England  '... generously illustrated...'  Sharp News  'Refreshingly, Saenger moves beyond the small section of books usually examined by textual scholars to include also a wide variety of printed texts, such as instructional works, religious texts, and even a book that contains instructions for constructing devices and conducting magic tricks and paranormal experiments.  The number of books discussed by Saenger in his slim volume is impressive and lends itself well to his comprehensive assertions regarding paratexts in Renaissance books.  Saenger's analyses are clear and insightful... the book makes an excellent case for further analysis of the front matter of Renaissance texts and lays a good critical foundation for doing so.'  Renaissance Quarterly  '... Saenger [...] offers a useful addition to the growing field of the material culture of the book... Its clear structure means that key points of interest can be quickly located.  While the book as a whole will engage readers concerned with early modern book history and current scholarly tends therein, other sections will interest a wider readership amongst librarians... Saenger succeeds in giving a lively insight into the world of early modern print in England.'

'This lucid, original and important book illuminates a key topic which has been too long neglected.' Stuart Ball, University of Leicester, UK  ’...a cogently argued and well-researched book... Keohane charts with great skill the mix of political opportunism and deeply-held conviction, which shaped the Conservative response to the war and concludes pithily and aptly that not alone had the Conservatives fought to make the world safe for democracy, but that they had also succeeded in 'making democracy safe for the world'.'  Dr William Mulligan, University College Dublin, Politico.ie  'This book offers a welcome corrective to research which has traditionally concentrated on the rise of Labour and the decline of the Liberals during the First World War by focusing on the experience of the party that, after all, dominated British politics for a twenty-year period after 1918.' English Historical Review  '... Keohane's assiduous research provides a valuable contribution to a still developing component in the historiography of British politics and is recommended.' Cercles  'This work is a thorough and focused study that will no doubt offer new insights even to those who specialize in both the period and the party.' H-Albion  'This is a lucid and thought-provoking work. The International History Review

’There are a number of features that distinguish this volume from a great many recent (and less recent) works on theological hermeneutics in a postmodern context.... The editors’ introduction is to my mind an excellent stand-alone map of where postmodern theological interpretation is situated today, ... Reading Spiritualities forms a snapshot of contemporary thought on the concept of sacred texts. ...asserting the continued relevance of doing theology with a political edge, yet without staying boxed in a room of one's own.’Journal of Literature and Theology  'Reading Spiritualities is accessible to both scholars in the field of contemporary theology and culture and to others who are interested in what is becoming recognized as a dynamic and increasingly important area for research and study. ... It is a collection that succeeds in opening up new ways of thinking about sacred texts and, with the rise of fundamentalism, we are reminded of the need for a view of religious thought that is critical and open to other perspectives.' Christianity and Literature  '... this is an exciting volume that reflects the growing interest in spirituality and the inter-textual relationships that can be opened up in many different places. It is widely accessible for the general reader whilst also being suitable for specialists in the fields of theology religious studies, cultural and literary studies.' Theological Book Review  'This vivacious collection examines the very terms it sets up to describe. ’Reading’ and ’Spirituality’ are de-shrouded and in this sense the book presents a tantalising array of potentials and possibilities for research in this wide arena.'

'... of interest to scholars, particularly those interested in Caribbean music and diasporic identity... In his book Representing African Music (2003), African musicologist Kofi Agawu exhorts scholars to approach scholarship on African and diasporic music from a postcolonial perspective that gives due attention, thought, and legitimacy to communities and traditions that have previously been ignored or marginalized. Emoff answers Agawu's call by giving voice to the history, musicality, and culture of Marie-Galante. Rather than allowing Marie-Galantais culture to be absorbed into that of Guadeloupe (as is so often the case,) Music and Performance illuminates the legitimate space that Marie-Galantais have carved out for themselves on a small island in the French Antilles.'

'A passionate, scholarly, deeply considered and, at the same time, practical critique of how universities internationally confuse access to digital information with developing educated and critical citizens. The book will be of value in positively shaping both pedagogic practice and institutional policies.' Alan Jenkins, Oxford Brookes University, UK  'The University of Google is my book of the year for 2007. I have nagged colleagues and friends to read ever since I saw a manuscript copy. It will have a huge impact on everyone in higher education, helping those suspicious of new media to formulate their criticisms and those eager to adopt it better placed to introduce it appropriately.' Frank Webster, City University London, UK  'Angry, experiential and humorous, this book connects with the modern teaching experience in so many ways. Any tutor, teacher or administrator who has ever had to upload a series of lecture notes with the knowledge that many students will merely download the notes and not attend the lecture will engage with this book. The pages offer guidance to bridging the gap between principles and practice. It offers practical steps to blocking students from googling their way through their degrees...This is an engaging book that should grace the shelves of any digitally-aspirant teacher.' M/C Reviews, media-culture.org.au  'It is a thoroughly researched and clearly argued work, written with passion and commitment...As the title suggests, The University of Google tackles the problems and possibilities of the online and digital realm. Brabazon is not a Luddite, and understands that such media and spaces have potential for higher education: the fault is not with the media per se, but how or why it might be used...Perhaps it is for those policy makers further up the academic pecking order that The University of Google would make the most interesting reading, as ultimately it is their decisions that affect those of us at the chalk-face.'
