’Davis argues his readings by deploying an impressive grasp of classical, medieval, and Renaissance mathematical and cosmological thought, and by scrupulous attention to the detail of the texts he studies.’ Modern Language review, Vol. 95, No. 4   ’...an interesting and challenging book.’ Helen Cooper, Medium Aevum Vol. LXIX   ’Davis’s thesis is exciting; it illuminates the literary articulations of an important dimension of early modern thinking.’ Shakespeare Survey  '... a thought -provoking study of the tensions between rationality and disorder in the years prior to the consolidation of Enlightenment models of uniform process and practice.'   Parergon  'There is much to recommend this (...), not least the exploration of how gender issues are employed within the narrative as a means of approaching other conceptual problems.'

A Monkeewrench Novel

Ice Cold Heart

Why do rebel groups in civil wars so often turn upon each other instead of focusing on their common enemy—the state?  In this insightful and meticulously researched book, Costantino Pischedda argues that inter-rebel violence is a strategic choice by the rebels.  It begins when powerful rebel groups see windows or opportunity to consolidate their position as the prime challenger to the state, or when weaker groups attack their rivals in a bid to “gamble for resurrection.” Conflict Among Rebels should be read by anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the dynamics and consequences of civil wars today.

&#9733; "A new entry in the canon of inspiring biographies about strong women. . . . Gorgeously realistic illustrations in watercolor, pen, and ink are offset by no more than four spare sentences on any given page. Details throughout the story will fascinate readers."&mdash;School Library Journal, Starred Review "Kate's Light is an unusual true story compellingly told."&mdash;BookPage "Caldecott Medalist McCully's vivid ink and watercolor spreads bring to life the storms and waves that made Walker's work necessary, and brim with visual information . . . An intrepid heroine in a lonely place, Walker had grit that makes for gripping reading."&mdash;Publishers Weekly  "Spires shows Walker as a quiet heroine meeting challenges calmly and efficiently. McCully's hallmark watercolors support this focus, whether depicting the cramped conditions on Robins Reef, the pattern of life at the lighthouse, Kate braving dangerous weather, and two spectacular seascapes." &mdash;The Horn Book  "In Spires' spirited telling, Kate Walker's professional achievement is less a tale of ambitiously upending gender expectations and more a demonstration of persistently demanding recognition of and remuneration for hard-earned skills. McCully's watercolor illustrations glide smoothly from homey interiors to roiling storms, capturing Kate hammering a massive warning bell in dense fog or chattering contentedly with friends in the sunshine."&mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books  "McCully's loose, sweeping, yet specific illustrations combine seamlessly with Spires' clear and engaging description . . . A distinctive selection that highlights an unknown heroine and her world as a lighthouse keeper."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews  "McCully's illustrations, rendered in pen, ink, and watercolor, help to bring this setting and time period to life for younger readers. . . . a good addition to women's history units."&mdash;Booklist

"…this excellent textbook would be a useful addition to a hospital library or personal library of a general surgeon or trainee." —Journal of Colon Cancer (for previous edition)"…The authors deserve significant credit for the quality and comprehensive coverage of diseases of this anatomical area." —Archives of Surgery (for previous edition)"…the best volume currently available that comprehensively covers the field of colon, rectal, and anal surgery. It has a very strong visual appeal and is well presented. This book will appeal strongly to colorectal surgeons, and is likely to become a standard in the personal medical libraries of this group." —Doody's Review Services (for previous edition)
"This edition, like the previous ones, has not only achieved but even surpassed the stated goals…. The text retains its logical and well-organized division of subjects and chapters. The entire breadth of day-to-day colon and rectal surgery practice is covered in depth with voluminous literature citations for reference….The subjects are covered in a clear, practical, and straightforward manner…colon and rectal surgeons of all levels will find this text useful. While the authors are both in North American institutions, surgeons in practice settings worldwide should find this text a useful addition to their libraries. I purchased this text based upon previous editions and I have not been disappointed by it." —Gary Dunn (Colon and Rectal Associates), World Journal of Surgery, for the Third Edition
"The whole textbook convinces the reader by many points: 1. Each important aspect of colorectal and anal surgery is shown with own chapters. 2. Every chapter illuminates its topic in an extraordinarily detailed way. 3. The quality of the pictures and figures is outstanding. 4. The writing style is worth reading. 5. All new developments are mentioned and adequately discussed. 6. The whole literature (in some chapters more than a thousand) is included. In summary, this new edition deserves the AMI Award of Excellence the same as its predecessor. Moreover, this textbook is for those who want to go deeper into the thematic of colorectal and anal surgery in every practical and theoretical sense." — A. J. Kroesen, Charité, Germany (International Journal of Colorectal Disease), for the Third Edition
