In Search of Sarah: A Time Traveler's Quandary

"This book could not be more timely as aviation becomes increasingly international and, with it, the need for professionals to understand cultural forces and how they can affect aviation safety. Jing and Batteau provide superb insights into eastern and western cultural influences, and how Confucian perspectives differ from those of the West. This book would be a welcome addition to anyone with an interest in cultural differences, aviation safety, and human factors."
—Barry Strauch, Strauch Associates, LLC, USA

"In The Dragon in the Cockpit, Jing and Batteau examine the most important differences between the Chinese and Western cultures and value systems in flight operation, especially since China is becoming one of the most prominent forces in commercial aviation. Can such vastly different perspectives be overcome by rigorous training, strong management, professionalism, and a strong cooperative culture? Jing and Batteau give you their insights in this magnificent book!"

’Tackling a critical problem facing society, water governance, the authors of this volume unsettle a concept long fitted uncritically into the analytical toolbox of geographers - scale. By questioning how scale is defined, redefined, and even performed using detailed cases from four continents, this book helps readers to fundamentally re-think how scale is produced to affect the governance of water. Their challenge to reconsider scale in water governance also encourages us to re-think how other, interconnected environmental governance challenges might be addressed.’ Maureen G. Reed, University of Saskatchewan, Canada  ’There has been a lot of talk about how physical matter and socio-political organization interrelate. Rare are the studies that actually show the dynamic interlacing of socio-political and hydro-physical scales. This is one of them and therefore indispensable reading for those concerned with questions of how water, social power and political space shape hydro-social landscapes.’ Erik Swyngedouw, Manchester University, UK  ’Cutting through debates over the politics of scale and water governance with remarkable skill, this outstanding set of essays demonstrates the conceptual sophistication of research on the politics of water while simultaneously presenting an innovative framework for rethinking scalar processes. With outstanding contributors and a wide-ranging geographical focus, this is a genuinely exciting collection.’  Alex Loftus, King’s College London, UK  ’Water touches everything, materially and politically: lives, societies, and ecosystems require it; agriculture, industry, and energy production demand it; and water flows across boundaries are leading sources of conflict and cooperation. Understanding its governance is therefore vital. In this volume, leading researchers demonstrate, empirically and theoretically, that the politics of scale lie at the heart of water governance and indeed all environmental governance.’ James Mc

'... studying both his prose and his poetry, the author succeeds in further defending the idea that Hardy wrote against ideological oppression. She also gives us a complete, extremely well-versed perspective on imperial studies, relying on an extensive bibliography, which enables the reader to have clear insight into the position held by nineteenth-century Britain towards its empire.'

'For airlines throughout the world, the major issue over the last few years has been the achievement of profitable revenue. Stephen Shaw's excellent book is now updated in its seventh edition to cover the difficulties of the last few years and demonstrable solutions. It is a most valuable read for those who are involved in increasing sales and income in every aspect of airline activities.' Roger Wootton, City University, London, UK  'Steve Shaw’s book is an invaluable source of information for both those who are entering the industry and those who are seasoned professionals. It is as much relevant to those who are making policy as to those who are implementing an organisation’s strategy. It provides a thorough insight into best practice as well as reasoned approaches to marketing management and therefore becomes an effective check-list for managers at all levels in how to approach the aviation market. There is little doubt that managers who attend education programmes in the field of marketing will find this book a very useful companion long after the teaching has finished.' Richard Hill, Head of International Training at Rolls Royce plc   '...an excellent foundation into the dynamic world of aviation marketing. The focus on both low cost and schedule airline marketing operations brings the reader up to date with the latest insights in the airline business. The book is not just educational but provides the reader with the tools to become an effective airline marketeer ' Brendan Noonan, SVP Learning & Development, Emirates Airline Group  ’This, the seventh incarnation of Airline Marketing and Management, is a welcome addition to the Stephen Shaw stable. It remains great at getting down to the basics of both marketing and management by breaking topics down in a unique and interesting way that illuminates the topic rather than fragment it. Shaw is great at taking the reader to more advanced concepts quickly. He is able to do so by spending a good chunk of the boo

’John Fitzmaurice brings the mature and realistic experience of a parish priest to the problems of the contemporary church in a neo-liberal social context. He explores all the possible intellectual strategies for integrating the basic message of the church with the whole range of the social science, taking special account of psychodynamics and of the insights of virtue ethics. The result is an informed and subtle contribution to the current debate about the kind of approaches the church might adopt in what is clearly a very serious situation.’ David Martin, London School of Economics, UK

’... this lively and sensitive book has much to commend it. It is learned and to the point in situating the problems and solutions of Yeats and Pound in the context of the nineteenth-century crisis of faith, and in the process has some acute points to make about Wordsworth’s Excursion, Coleridge’s ’Kubla Khan’, and Keats’s Endymion... The book is also good at close reading, astutely interrogating the implications of phrase and word-choice. It offers some fascinating insights into the composition of some of the finest works of each poet by having frequent recourse to manuscript dramas.’ Modern Language Review  'Scholars of Yeats and Pound [...] should find much that is genuinely original, stimulating, thought-provoking and convincing in his acts of reading.' Review of English Studies  'Sean Pryor’s book is an essential contribution to both Yeats and Pound scholarship, but also to Modernist studies in general. Although his study does not make it explicit, the discussion of Yeats’s writings convincingly show that this poetic quest is more part of the Modernist struggle with epistemology that is commonly assumed... As a final note of praise, it should be stated that this well-argued study is written in a clear and jargon-free style, which makes for much enjoyable and enlightening (paradisal) reading.' Irish Studies Review  'This is an excellent book, for it manages to articulate Yeats’ and Pound’s compulsive urge to repeat a poetry of paradise without ever leaving the nuances of that poetry behind - without ever, that is, succumbing to the critical temptation to paraphrase the thinking done in these poems in ’ergotistical’ prose (to use a Poundian adjective). By means of this act of fidelity, Pryor captures both the complexity and the freshness of Yeats’ and Pound’s struggle to transpose paradise into verse.' Literature and Theology  'Pryor’s chief strength as a reader of Yeats and Pound is an exemplary sensitivity to how qualified, tenta

Honourable Mention, American Sociological Association's Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis Book Awards, 2011-2012  'Based in the analysis of work, sequential organization and membership categorization in a collection of Egyptian legal proceedings including a trial for perversion and debauchery (homosexuality), Dupret gives us the most sustained attempt yet at a praxeology of judicial activity, re-specifying such legal objects as fact, person, intention, cause and judgement in relation to morality (above all), rationality, normality, language, context, rule, action, and text. It’s a remarkable tour de force.'

'This necessarily brief review cannot do justice to the consistent quality and wide ranging variety of learning displayed in this book. It is something of a milestone in our understanding of Victorian religious music.' Nicholas Temperley, North American British Music Studies Association '... the standard is consistently high... a rewarding collection of essays on an important subject...' British Institute of Organ Studies  'Music and Theology in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a fascinating [...] foray into notions of Victorian spirituality and musicianship. Topics are diverse and thought-provoking... [the book has] immense value... Recommended.'  Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians '... the book is strongly coherent - not merely in its six essays devoted to different aspects of British hymnody, but also in its exploration of the myriad ways that music and religion interact. ... The topic is a protean one and this book points the way forward for future scholars to explore this fundamental subject.'  Notes  'Clarke's diverse collection should include something for anyone with an interest in either Victorian theology or music.'  Anglican and Episcopal History   'These [eleven] essays cover a gamut of Victorian religious experience and, by doing so, call attention to the diversity of attitudes to faith and their musical treatment in the Victorian age.’ Victorian Studies
