The Life and Astonishing Adventures of Peter Williamson: Who Was Carried Off When a Child from Aberdeen and Sold for a Slave

'Temple Imagery from Early Mediaeval Peninsular India is well researched, thorough, written in an interesting and readable style, and makes a contribution to knowledge about Hindu art and architecture in relationship to kingship in southern India.' Susan L. Huntington, Ohio State University, USA  'This book will prove especially helpful for students of art history, South Indian history and iconography, as well as specialists of materiality/material culture. The first chapter will introduce those unfamiliar with Tamil traditions to the relevant deities, practices, and texts. But even the Tamil literary specialist will be amply engaged by the diversity of disciplinary perspectives presented here.'  Journal of Hindu Studies  '... scholars in a wide range of fields, and particularly religious studies and history, will benefit both from the book’s many illustrations and from the author’s efforts to parse out how various narrative elements from Saá¹…gam poetry, the PurÄÅ†as, and the Ä€gamas was reflected in the formalization, and indeed canonization, of new iconographic forms.'

Prize: Winner of a Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award 2006  ’...a very timely and useful book...Indeed, the authors' clear writing and well-honed arguments make an informative read for the interested public as well.

'Michael Apple has never settled for easy answers. His scholarship confronts the messy, complex, and often contradictory challenges posed by the real world – a world he has experienced as teacher, parent, union president and world leading scholar. In this important new study Apple and his co-authors draw on real world cases to explore some of the most pressing dilemmas facing critical educators in the twenty-first century.' 
—David Gillborn is Director of the Centre for Research in Race & Education (CRRE) at the University of Birmingham, UK
'What makes The Struggle for Democracy in Education so special is that it is refreshingly honest; it does not romanticise the long, slow, and at times, painful work of resistance against injustices and undemocratic forces in education and society. Rather, it inspires and reinvigorates us to persist. The detailed analysis of egalitarian educational movements in the United States, China and Brazil enables readers to see how activism leads to real social change.'
—Kathleen Lynch, Professor of Equality Studies at University College Dublin, Ireland 
'The Struggle for Democracy in Education　is a theoretically rich, concrete analysis of the assault on public education and actual efforts to construct democratic, liberatory alternatives. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand how contestations over racialized neoliberal agendas play out in real time, on the ground. By illuminating the contradictions and complexities of these struggles in different contexts, it provides invaluable lessons and spaces for action and hope.'
—Pauline Lipman is Professor of Educational Policy Studies and Director of the Collaborative of Equity and Social Justice in Education at University of Illinois-Chicago, USA
"[Each chapter] provides an educational context to which critical democratic theory can be applied with an eye to parsing out the who, how, and what of ever-evolving democratic processes via specific educational sites and systems; both those that can grow thick democracy as well as those that aim to thin out democracy to the benefit of powerful elites. In each context, Apple and his co-author provide clear context and utilize nuanced critical democratic theory to point out those practices and systemic places worth the time and energy of activist educators and community leaders. These chapters include analyses of educational reforms in, respectively, a midwestern port city; Wisconsin and Colorado; China; and Brazil. Each chapter is very well-written, individually interesting, and as a whole they are pulled together nicely in Apple’s conclusion. Readers looking for that rare case of theory-actually-applied will find this book a compelling read."

'The Arts of Remembrance in Early Modern England offers a compelling view of the processes of memorialisation and of remembering, ranging from ecclesiastical practice to literary production, visual culture, and the stage. The collection brings together established scholars and exciting new voices, to consider the wide-ranging effects of the Reformation, and the recurring presence of the dead.’ Helen Smith, University of York, UK  '... what makes this book truly valuable to students, teachers, and researchers of English literature and cultural studies is the high quality of the essays, each in its own right as well as when seen collectively as constituting a coherent area of inquiry involving material, textual and theatrical instantiations of the arts of remembrance. Insofar as each essay represents the highest caliber of responsible scholarly endeavor and presents hard-won and compelling research findings, this book is a significant contribution to the fertile and ever-widening field of early modern memory studies.'  Seventeenth-Century News  '... striking, thought-provoking ... sure to excite further debate within the field of memory studies.' Renaissance Quarterly  'The subjects of these essays are diverse and will be of use to historians and scholars of literature and theatre. Coupled with their focus on changing post-Reformation culture, they make for fascinating reading, and an invaluable resource for scholars of memory and post-Reformation religious culture.' Parergon  'Consistent with the Ashgate series to which it belongs ... the volume casts a wide cultural-materialist net over its topic in that the term "materiality" covers at once social practices, reading strategies, artifacts and monuments, book history, and performance, offering a scholarly cornucopia to SHARP members.' SHARP News  'Everyone interested in its subject should look at this volume with care for there is much useful material in it. Some of this has more relevance to church monuments than

“Dr. Taylor’s Textual Analysis Made Easy needs to be the #1 teacher book within an arm’s reach at all times. It is the kind of resource that you will use over and over because of the wide variety of lessons that are essential in the middle-level classroom. I can honestly say that the methods explained in this book are some of the most immediately effective strategies that I have used in my entire 22 years of teaching. What I found most amazing was that my students were able to automatically write critically about a text within just a few short months of introduction and practice. I cannot wait to move forward with my students next year and integrate The 12 Tools into my instruction.” –Leslie Snyder, 8th Grade ELA Teacher, Casa Grande Elementary School, Casa Grande, Arizona

"The profession of the master-builders split into the independent disciplines of architecture and structural engineering in the 19th century. In order to pursue a holistic approach, architects need an understanding of the structural basis of architecture. For this purpose, there is no better reading imaginable than this book. This is not only true for students, but also for practitioners who want to understand how buildings function structurally. Moreover, I would recommend this book to engineers, who seek to understand the reasoning and motivation of architects in order to find structural solutions for their intentions." - Manfred Grohmann, Founder and principal of Bollinger+Grohmann Ingenieure; Professor for Structural Design, Faculty of Architecture, University of Kassel
"The Structural Basis of Architecture, 3rd edition, is a comprehensive account of the many trickeries architects employ to defeat "nature". Since structure is our ultimate tool, the more extended our understanding of it the better chances to make a seamless transition of loads, either live or dead, into the ground." - Mauricio Pezo & Sofia von Ellrichshausen, founding partners of Pezo von Ellrichshausen
"What a delightful book! The Structural Basis of Architecture has been widely recognized as a classic that exposes how structures make Architecture. In this revisited third edition, new contemporary case studies, colored illustrations and an original chapter on structural systems sharpen and further reinforce any reader’s learning experience. Every student in architecture should study this book." - Sigrid Adriaenssens, Associate Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Princeton University
Review of the 2nd edition
"The Structural Basis of Architecture uses a myriad of historical and contemporary case studies to provide a concise and thorough explanation of the relationship between engineering and architecture. This book is an indispensable source for anyone interested in the logic of structures and their role not just in supporting but in imagining architecture." - Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean, and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design, Harvard University Graduate School of Design

"Erlick is quite persuasive in her contention that the popularity of telenovelas has combined with their mobility to create a quietly subversive force in socially conservative Latin America." -Glenn Garvin, television critic, the Miami Herald, in ReVista, the Harvard Review of Latin America, Winter 2018.

’...it is the stories themselves which are the most powerful aspect of the book. They are raw, memorable, heartbreaking and sometimes funny...I hope that the book will attract the broad range of readers it deserves.’ Janet Dyson, RE Today, UK  'For any person, homelessness is complex and never a single issue. David Nixon has listened and analysed people’s stories and made good sense from them. His wise and insightful use of their stories and his analysis is the best sort of Practical Theology from which we can all learn.  It will help Christians meet and respond to the needs of homeless people.' Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, Bishop of Salisbury, UK  'This is a fascinating and important study. It is an exercise in listening to the voices of those who are rarely heard.  Written with clarity and elegance, it is a life-changing exploration of the narratives of faith and the journey of life. This is a pioneering text, which will interest American scholars who are seeking to connect a liberationist perspective with the journeys of those who struggle in a prosperous nation. There is nothing quite like this remarkable book.' Very Revd Dr Ian Markham, Virginia Theological Seminary, USA  'What sense can Christians make of the experience of homelessness? Listening to homeless people’s stories David Nixon invites us to understand them in the light of Scripture and of the ongoing Christian call for social justice. What emerges is a chapter in British liberation theology which calls us not simply to empathise but to change the way we think about homelessness.' Professor Tim Gorringe, University of Exeter, UK  'Stories from the Street not only provides a fascinating insight into the lives of people who are often overlooked, but understands that they also have a contribution to make. The theological reflections should remind the Church about where its real focus lies - not just in caring for the dispossessed but in questioning why they are dispossessed in the first place.' Ben B
