“This text moves beyond the aim of other books in the realm of cyberpsychology that parse the positive and negative impacts of technology, incorporating a broad range of topics … . Written in a clear, seamless fashion, the text uses the complex topic of cyberpsychology to illuminate how context and motivation help shape the social and psychological experience of the user. This text is extensively researched and well documented, and will appeal to scholarly and general audiences alike.” (J. Bailey, Choice, Vol. 56 (5), January, 2019)​“Cyberpsychology as Everyday Digital Experience across the Lifespan is a solid and compelling work that makes itself conspicuous through criticism, inclusiveness, interdisciplinary perspectives, and sharp points of view. This book offers a distinguishable approach to Cyberpsychology, and it will be of great interest to anyone who wants to decipher the complex relationship between technology and our lives.” (Camelia Gradinaru, Europe's Journal of Psychology, Vol. 14 (4), 2018)

“Maloney’s book is an interesting attempt that studies the overall direction of popular culture and society by addressing four diverse texts from the turn of the millennium. … the book positions itself in an intersection that appeals to students, especially undergraduates who find it difficult to see the deployment of critical theory and philosophy in something as broad as popular culture.” (Mani Saravanan, The Popular Culture Studies Journal, Vol. 4 (1-2), 2016)

“Matthew S. Adams innovative intellectual history of British anarchism...aims to bring to light a dimension of Britain's cultural past that has been ill served by historians. ... we have Adams to thank for having identified and astutely assessed the various ways in which both Kropotkin and Read articulated to a British audience the contemporary relevance of a much-maligned and poorly understood ideology.” (George Esenwein, American Historical Review, June, 2017)“This work has contributed significantly to our understanding of the political, social, and cultural history of the anarchist Anarchist Studies movement … . this is an excellent piece of scholarship would be an understatement of colossal proportions. … Adams has set the agenda for anarchist intellectual history going forward. I have no doubt that the seed he has planted will yield a bountiful harvest in the years to come.” (Nathan Jun, Anarchist Studies, Vol. 25 (2), 2017)“The strength of Adams’ interesting and intelligent book is that it gives us a view of anarchism as a dynamic tradition of thought that is integral to any wider intellectual history. And in one memorable phrase, Adams explains why we should not ignore it. Kropotkin and Read, by ‘Their pursuit of reason uncovered a universe of wonder’ … . This book helps us join them.” (Peter Ryley, European Review of History, Revue européenne d'histoire, Vol. 23 (1-2), 2016)“In directing his readers’ attention to the connections between Kropotkin and Read, Adams has indeed pointed to one of the most important streams that fed into British anarchist thought more generally. … Adams’s book is a welcome addition to a growing number of studies aimed at recapturing the largely lost tradition of British anarchism and plugging a significant hole in our understanding of anarchist history and ideas.” (Benjamin J. Pauli, New Political Science, Vol. 38 (2), 2016)“This volume serves as an excellent account of British anarchism as an intel­lectual history, which explores the translation and impact of ideas and practices within a transregional context.” (Oscar Norris-Broughton, Global Histories, Vol. 1, December, 2015)

"Alex Roberto Hybel has provided foreign policy maker decision making scholars with unique insights into a crucial period in US history during which time the Cold War emerged and rose to highest level of tension. This important volume fulfils three objectives: it describes presidential decisions processes using rich case studies, it provides robust theoretical analysis of the cognitive system and mindset of the presidents, and it assesses leading foreign policy decision making models in light of decisions made during the era." Karl DeRouen, Jr., Professor of Political Science and, Director, B.A. Program in International Studies, The University of Alabama, USA

"We learn by stories, not PowerPoint slides, and Hybel and his co-authors expertly describe the foreign policy decision-making process in three presidential administrations. Detailed case studies are presented that are constructed around some nine analytical questions that seek to asses the quality of information provided each president and advisory team as well as the quality of the analysis and evaluation done by each president and the relevant advisors. The real strength of the study is the 'testing of the explanatory value' of various analytical models. His study suggests that no one model explains each situation and that rationality and belief systems or mindsets must be considered when trying to explain foreign policy decision. This is a comprehensive set of case studies that provide a thoughtful evaluation of most of the decision-making models used in foreign policy analysis today. A great text for teaching about the human dimension of decision-making and the importance of individual decision-makers in the formulation of foreign policy." Steven L. Lamy, Vice Dean for Academic Program and Professor of International Relations, University of Southern California, USA

"English Teachers in a Postwar Democracy is a fascinating tale of British school reform starting in the aftermath of World War II in London, when central education authority was at its nadir. I can think of no book that better elucidates the origins of education reform in the classrooms of gifted teachers than this outstanding and invaluable work. I recommend it highly and without reservation as a must read for the entire English education community, teachers, researchers, and educational authorities alike.' - Martin Nystrand, Louise Durham Mead Professor of English Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA, and Professor of Education Emeritus, Wisconsin Center for Education Research

"This is a rare opportunity to read about the origins of English as it is practiced in classrooms today. The authors explore the memories of English teaching with interviews of teachers of the day, some notable such as Harold Rosen and John Dixon. They also consider records of the former schools, school architecture, exercise books, and interviews with former pupils. The intricate mixture of sources lends fascinating detail to the history of English teaching in postwar democracy." - Bethan Marshall, Senior Lecturer in English Education, King's College London, UK

" Children in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock amounts to a stunning collective appreciation by its editor and contributors of the significant role played by children and child-adults in Hitchcock - and of why the director's films, based on multiple points of view, favour 'liminality' over strict 'coherence'. This is cutting-edge film analysis of such Hitchcock masterworks as The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934 and 1956), Shadow of a Doubt , Strangers on a Train , The Trouble With Harry , and The Birds . Expert and illuminating." - Ken Mogg, contributor to A Companion to Alfred Hitchcock

"The Social Life of Poetry makes a significant contribution to the contemporary study of race and place as it historically maps the cultural circulation of works by four poets writing about Appalachia. Not only does this book fill a gap in recent whiteness studies, it also offers valuable insights and specific examples for anyone working on such topics as cultural pluralism, modernist literary networks, U.S. publishing history, poetry s rhetoric, identity politics, and intersections of race and class. In this incisive exploration of geographic cultural politics, Green has given us a comprehensive model for rigorously studying the social life and material history of regional poetry in relation to national circuits of production, distribution, and reception." - Steven Mailloux, President s Professor of Rhetoric, Loyola Marymount University

"In this masterful assessment of the role of poets and poetry in social discourse, Green has much to say about regionalism, cultural pluralism, and racial politics in the ever-shifting intellectual movements and publishing trends of the 1930s and 1940s, and about the peculiar place of Appalachians within those far-removed worlds. Never have we seen the mountain South and its literature portrayed on so large a canvas or in so compelling a context. A provocative, insightful and utterly original contribution to both Appalachian and American Studies." - John C. Inscoe, Professor of History, University of Georgia, and Author of Race, War and Remembrance in the Appalachian South

"Green's book opens a window on a compelling and forgotten terrain in modern culture - the relationship between east coast modernism and the mountains of Appalachia. He deals powerfully with cultural interchanges and with Appalachia's own literary productivity, culminating in a beautiful chapter on Don West." - Cary Nelson, Author of No University is and Island: Saving Academic Freedom

“Johnston’s Haunted Seasons is a vital addition to Gothic and media studies, primarily examining the cultural popularity of ghost stories in British broadcasting at Christmas and, to a lesser extent, American horror programming at Halloween. … Johnston’s study provides valuable and thorough research on the Christmas ghost story in Britain … .” (Shannon Scott, Gothic Studies, Vol. 19 (1), May, 2017)“This book is filled with historical detail about ghost stories, gothic, horror and television, as well as insight into the cultural meanings of these traditions. Haunted Seasons is an original and significant addition to a growing body of work on television horror. … This book is ideal for the television and horror scholar but also for anyone who enjoys a brief, seasonal, sojourn into the ghostly and the macabre.” (Dr. Stacey Abbott, BUFVC, December, 2016)“Derek Johnston’s Haunted Seasons, which comes as a welcome … addition to the literature on the gothic, the supernatural, and our media landscape … . Johnston’s work excavates a fascinating history of these seasonal hauntings, locating them within the role that seasonal days like Christmas and Halloween play in the lived experience of communities on both sides of the Atlantic. … This material is welcome in its own way, especially for an uninitiated reader … .” (Murray Leeder, Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies, Issue 15, 2016)

"Latin American politics moves in cycles, and now is the turn of populism, after decades of military dictatorship and attempts at democratic stabilization. Getúlio Vargas, who ruled Brazil from 1930 to 1954,started as a modernizing politician, embraced fascism in the 1930s, played the democratic game after the war, and died as populist leader in 1954. This book, which looks in depth at his period with freshcontributions and insights from anew generation of scholars, is an excellent introduction for understanding how Brazil became what it is now, and of what the current cycle of populism can bring to the country and the region as a whole."
 - Simon Schwartzman, President, Institute for Studies on Labor and Society (IETS), Rio de Janeiro

"Jens R. Hentschke has assembled a cadre of first class Brazilianists to help bring Getúlio Vargas and his era into contemporary focus. All Latin Americanists will benefit enormously from this excellent and comprehensive volume."
 - Thomas E. Skidmore, Professor of History Emeritus, Brown University

"This is an innovative collection of essays that examines the way Vargas and his social and political programs shaped the interpretation of an era. The contributing authors view familiar features of the Vargas era through a new lens, such as the effectiveness of Vargas's welfare programs via a discussion of malnutrition, or the way the public has greeted the monument to him that now stands in Rio de Janeiro. In general the book asks, 'How do we read the Carta?' (Vargas's suicide note that he wrote over the last weeks of his life) and in so doing it raises the question, 'How do we read Vargas?'"

“The rich details and careful and nuanced analysis produce a multifaceted portrait of the various ways Chinese migrant workers engage/disengage, negotiate or challenge the state-constructed legal hegemony. The result is a compelling and nuanced argument that elucidates the wide variety of possibilities and sheds new light … . Hegemonic Transformation makes an important contribution to the literature and will be essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand Chinese labour politics, the political economy of Chinese market … .” (Lu Zhang, Global Labour Journal, Vol. 9 (03), September, 2018)“Hui has produced an important contribution to the literature on labour politics, civil society, and legal reform in China, and her deep and systematic theoretical engagement brings fresh perspective to these issues. Hui’s work should be required reading for anyone interested in the academically and practically crucial question of why Chinese workers submit to their own exploitation.” (Eli Friedman, The China Quarterly, Vol. 234, June, 2018)“Hegemonic Transformation represents an important contribution to the field of Chinese labor studies. Not only does it convincingly address the fundamental paradox of labor in contemporary China (i.e., the coexistence of blatant labor abuses with well-developed labor legislation), it also indicates promising new avenues for future research. I highly recommend it.” (Ivan Franceschini, The China Journal, Vol. 81, January, 2018)

"Much of the historiography of the modern Gulf deals exclusively with either Iran or the region's Arab states, which helps to underscore the notion that this narrow stretch of water is a natural divide between the Persian and the Arab worlds. This book demonstrates that prior to the establishment of modern borders the Gulf ports benefited from unfettered interaction between both shores as well as their lively participation in the trade of the entire Indian Ocean. The voices of historians from the Gulf region demonstrate the ways in which migrants from the Arabian hinterland or the mountains of Baluchistan, enslaved and free people from Africa or the Ottoman Empire or sailors from Asia, all contributed to a particular way of life and a common Gulf culture. By breaking moulds, this book opens up enticing leads for further detailed research and a less divisive understanding of the history of the past two centuries of the Gulf." - Frauke Heard-Bey, PhD, historian, author of From Trucial States to United Arab Emirates

'Amid the recent proliferation of literature on the on the region, The Persian Gulf in Modern Times: People, Ports and History stands out for the depth of its scholarship and breadth of its coverage. The contributions to this book present new and original interpretations on the historiography of the Persian Gulf, trace the emergence of its port cities, and explore the appearance and growth of diverse communities of Indians, Baluchis, the Hawala, and Africans in Iran, the littoral states, and Eastern Arabia. For anyone interested in a more thorough and in-depth understanding of the Persian Gulf, this book is an essential read.' - Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University, Qatar
