"The importance of STEM to our society and how we will continue to rebuild our society out of the economic and health crises of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be understated. I am so pleased to hear that we have people turning their minds to such vital issues of public policy."

Hon Tanya Pilbersek MP, Shadow Minister for Education and Training 

"Building a healthy economy after COVID-19 is a global priority and there will be an emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurial approaches as we seek to create new business opportunities and to strengthen existing industries. Employers are demanding job-ready graduates with transferable skills that can be applied to real-world, contemporary problems and who also have strong understandings of cultural differences and ethical practice. This book is a timely contribution to our exploration of how we can best serve the needs of our students as they prepare for an increasingly dynamic world."

Hon John Gardner MP, Minister for Education, South Australia

"There has been widespread enthusiasm, even hype, about the possible benefits of STEM education, but worryingly little careful examination of the issues. This book does a great job of rigorously analysing what STEM integration in higher education might entail and contains helpful examples of actual progress in the field."

Michael J. Reiss, Professor of Science Education, UCL Institute of Education

The Power of the Published

"Sahlins’ forays into economic anthropology are full of interest." Cyril S. Belshaw, American Anthropologist

"Stone Age Economics, while not a survey of the economic anthropology, is as of now the most sophisticated, extensive presentation, and argument in and about, the field." Walter C. Neale, Science

"This book is subversive to so many of the fundamental assumptions of Western technological society that it is a wonder it was permitted to be published. Calling on extensive research among the planet's remaining stone-age societies—in Africa, Australia and South-East Asia as well as anecdotal reports from early explorers, Professor Sahlins directly challenges the idea that Western civilization has provided greater 'leisure' or 'affluence,' or even greater reliability, than 'primitive' hunter-gatherers." Whole Earth Review

"His book is rich in factual evidence and in ideas, so rich that a brief review cannot do it justice; only another book could do that." E. Evans-Pritchard, Times Literary Supplement

Stone Age Economics

"Throughout the work, Bevere exhibits an admirable command of the OT, of Jewish intertestamental literature, and of the secondary literature on Colossians.... Bevere's work helpfully outlines and augments recent discussion of the question." -Barth L. Campbell, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, September 2004

"Vikram Mehta has been actively involved in decadal climate variability (DCV) research for decades. This book is an eyewitness report about the fascinating science of DCV." 
Prof. Dr. Mojib Latif, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany
"We are becoming used to the fact that the climate is changing due to human influences, but in our lifetimes most of us will be much more affected by decadal climate variability. This book provides a comprehensive review, covering DCV in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans as well as in tropical cyclones and extratropical winds. Highlighted throughout the book are potential links between DCV and solar variability, a fascinating topic that has engaged our minds for centuries. Written by an expert with more than 30 years’ experience, this book should be an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in how our climate will evolve over the coming decades."
Dr. Doug Smith, Met Office Hadley Centre, UK

"Provides a comprehensive account of decadal time-scale variations in the global and regional climate, that are of societal relevance. There is a detailed discussion on solar influences on the Earth’s climate variability, along with supporting examples of natural DCV and their interactions with human-induced climate change. This book will be useful for policy makers also."
Dr. Krishnan Raghavan, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India

"This book is a tour de force by the author who has spent his career studying decadal climate variability.　 He brings new insights to the vast scope of this topic, providing clearly understandable descriptions of the various aspects. This compelling treatment of a highly relevant area of climate science will clarify these complex topics for readers who have varying familiarities with science. The book can be read as not only a general overview of decadal climate variability, but also as a primer on the scientific details of such variability and predictions. Additionally, it serves as a guide to the impacts that arise as a consequence of climate variability on the timescales of seasons to decades."
Dr. Gerald Meehl, Senior Scientist, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Colorado, USA

Kant's Modal Metaphysics charts a fascinating course from Kant's pre-Critical ideas about modality through to his more mature, Critical, view. We are not just offered an account of what Kant said about some narrow topicmodalitybut rather a narrative according to which questions arising from Kant's modal metaphysics play a crucial role in motivating and shaping the Critical philosophy

'... perceptively introduced and meticulously edited and annotated... It's a portrait of a great writer at work, selecting, shaping and picking up fresh ideas...' The Guardian  'This book will be indispensable to Hardy scholars; the editor has done an excellent job, the notes are helpful and exhaustive. But I don't believe you need to be a Hardy buff to value it. Well-indexed, it is a ragbag which many interested in that period and in the West of England will enjoy rummaging through.' The Spectator  'Ashgate deserve praise for seeing this unique document amongst Hardy's private writings into print...' Dorset Magazine  'The so-called 'Facts' Notebook is the last of the twelve to be edited, and it is fascinating... William Greenslade's handsome edition of Thomas Hardy's 'Facts' Notebook...Hardy's novels are sometimes characterized as gloomy or sensational, but his 'Facts' Notebook portrays a more violent, desperate society by far than he would have been permitted to describe in his fiction.' TLS  'Hardy scholars will value the publication of this notebook...this volume marks a decisive change in the direction of Hardy's writings in the early l880s...Highly recommended...' Choice  '... a fascinating book...' The Use of English  'Between them, William Greenslade and Ashgate have done an excellent job of presentation... The editorial procedures and principles of annotation are logical, clearly explained, and consistently applied; there is an excellent critical introduction... Both editor and press are to be congratulated for the service they have performed for Hardy studies in making this essential document available in such a visually pleasing and authoritative form.' ELT  'The painstaking labour that such an exemplary scholarly edition necessitates can easily be overlooked: the end product has an easy, organic feel... Greenslade also provides an exceptionally detailed and usable index... The 'Facts' notebook provides an expertly contextualized, fascinating, and telling
