“an emotional and fascinating journey into the hearts of many women. [...] Many will find the soap-opera plotline, likable characters, colorful backdrop and the quest for answers to decades-old questions as much fun as a Downtown Abbey episode.”

“Reflecting on all the chapters of the book, the reader is made aware of the breadth of the phenomena of adventure: from survival expeditions in wilderness, through soul-seeking journeys, to its commercialized forms that have gained popularity in post-modern times. The multidisciplinary Book Reviews / Annals of Tourism Research 47 (2014) 96–106 105 approach is what greatly augments the contents of this book as it is evident that authors have sought to find innovative methods in order to better understand the concept of adventure. However, the book undoubtedly invites readers to question their own practices and to create their own definition of adventure as a starting point for their explorations.” – Jelena M. Farkic, Department of Tourism, Novi Sad, Serbia, Published in Annals of Tourism Research

'John Laughland has produced a masterful, scholarly, and compelling account of Schelling, uncovering entirely new and important material relating to the development of his later thought, and tracing with dexterity Schelling’s roots in, and passage beyond, German Idealism.  Where Laughland really excels is in showing how Schelling is in dialogue with, and even influenced by, St. Thomas Aquinas.  The Schelling presented here turns out to be a thoroughgoing Christian metaphysician, entirely undermining, Hegel’s claim to be the last word in Christian philosophy.' Revd Dr Laurence Paul Hemming, Heythrop College, University of London  'Laughland’s thesis is that Schelling’s philosophy is not idealism, but real-idealism. By stressing the realist aspect, Laughland makes a convincing point that instead of being closely tied with proto-idealist approaches such as Neoplatonism and Spinozism, as it is commonly believed, Schelling is indeed much closer to Aquinas and to Catholic Philosophy. The book is significant for addressing an issue that has hardly been addressed as such, while covering all periods of Schelling’s philosophical production.' Riccardo Pozzo, University of Verona, Italy  ’... for the depth and breadth of his scholarship, the elegance of style, the precision and wisdom of his selectivity, Laughland’s study is currently the best thing on Schelling available in English.’ Heythrop Journal  'This book is full of genuine insights and at times shines with beautiful statements ... Laughland, a talented political philosopher, has done a great service for theologians ... Every theologian who is remotely interested in philosophy or metaphysics, or in the relationship between faith and reason, owes him a debt of gratitude.'  Modern Theology

’This study of Kant's complex and basic thought about God is clear, discerning, and comprehensive.  Byrne is to be congratulated on it.  My only regret is that it was not published half a century ago so that not only I but also my students could have benefited from its perceptive exposition of and insights into Kant's thought.’ Journal of Theological Studies  ’... there is much valuable in Byrne’s book as a clear, detailed presentation of Kant’s various doctrines pertaining to religious faith, coupled with sharp analytical criticism of these doctrines, informed by comprehensive knowledge of Kant’s corpus.’ Journal of the American Academy of Religion

'At the heart of this excellent collection of eclectic essays is the idea that there was no European monopoly on the representation of India... This book suggests that every representation is a misrepresentation, and the difficulty in capturing the British-Indian encounter over the length of the British occupation of the vast and multi-faceted subcontinent ensures the truth of that statement...This book provides an intriguing collection of disaparate specialised views on the British-Indian relationship between 1780 and 1850.' - David O'Shaughnessy, The Review of English Studies
