"The authors cover a wide span of issues ranging from the analysis of current ecological conditions (such as desertification, biodiversity, and food security, all closely interlinked to global climate change) to the role of environmental NGOs and social change caused by environmental issues and governance. Going beyond a pure scientific description of environmental issues, the book provides valuable insights in their possible reasons and ways out and shows the interdependencies of economic growth, environmental degradation, and their repercussions on the Chinese society. Economic welfare - Environmental Kuznets Curve-like - provides for an increase of environmental consciousness in the Chinese society which, for example, is reflected in an increasing number of environmental NGOs with growing influence dealing with issues such as local pollution, safety standards, biodiversity, desertification, and other issues. Broad environmental goals such as a green Chinese society and environmental sustainability (or the Chinese equivalent: a harmonious society) are getting higher on the political agenda on the central level and even locally. On the side, China on an international climate negotiation level is willing to take greater responsibilities. Confucian values or a Chinese way might be the only way out for China to cope with the local, regional, and even global environmental issues in an appropriate way which also can be understood by the Chinese society. In this book many deep thoughts on many urgent questions can be found. Containing important insights into China s most challenging environmental issues, this book is a must for environmental policy analysts." - Andreas Oberheitmann, International Director, Research Center for International Environmental Policy, Tsinghua University

"Montesquieu's Political Economy advances our understanding of Montesquieu while also enlivening the resurgence of political economy itself. For Montesquieu, moral philosophy and economic science were not separate disciplines but perspectives that by the very nature of the subject must be combined. Andrew Bibby reminds us of how exciting political economy once was, and could yet again be." - John Tomasi, Founder and Director of the Political Theory Project, Brown Univeristy, USA"By holding on to the thread of commerce, Andrew Bibby walks us successfully through the labyrinth of The Spirit of the Laws. He shows how commerce is linked to the largest questions of politics and religion. This balanced and insightful treatment of the controversies surrounding the character and extent of Montesquieu's liberalism proves that the spirit of moderation should belong to the commentator as much as the legislator. Montesquieu's Political Economy will establish Bibby in the front ranks of Montesquieu scholars." - Diana J. Schaub, Professor of Political Science, Loyola University Maryland, USA

'The book is a stimulus towards clarifying a radical critique of the world we know and all will profit by reading the concrete illustrative cases included in the exposition of the different theoretical standpoints.' - Robert Cox, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, York University, Toronto, Canada

'Eschewing orthodoxies, this work in critical theory offers fresh insights into capitalist development and globalization. Its iconoclastic approach is a rare find, a wake-up call to rethinking International Relations and world order.' - James H. Mittelman, Professor of International Relations, American University, USA

'[P]rovides a thoughtful overview of the debates on the left about a number of issues, from Latin American state development to the political economy of the European Union.' - Political Studies Review

“W. Fred van Raaij seeks to describe the foundations of our financial actions and, in turn, provide direction toward improved public policies, better regulation for consumer protection, and more trustworthy financial practices. … For psychologists, the book offers a handy guide to how economists think about the determinants of financial behaviors … . I also see van Raaij’s book as a supplemental text for graduate courses in finance and as highly recommended reading for professional financial advisers.” (Len Tashman, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (46), November, 2016)

'Vlcek begins the task of tackling what must be the single greatest threat to Caribbean small state sovereignty - compliance enforcement on the part of the OECD on Caribbean OFCs, where their determined tax policies are reframed as harmful tax initiatives to woo international business. This is an offensive that dovetails with anti-money laundering imperatives and efforts to shut down terrorist finance networks, matters that increasingly hold the potential for imperilling US-Caribbean relations, and rendering illegitimate the offshore financial niche that defines the competitive advantage of some of these islands. 'Offshore Finance and Small States' introduces this discussion, encouraging the reader to pursue greater interrogation of the power-politics, values and regimes involved.'

'The specific address of how the provision of offshore financial services articulates with Caribbean small economies and the illiberal logic girding the OECD's harmful tax postulate, makes this book especially required reading for IR/IPE specialists and students, economists, and the wider professional community.'
Both Don D. Marshall, Senior Research Fellow in Political Science, University of the West Indies.

'Covering the optical and illusory quality of 3D from its Victorian beginnings to its new digital dominance, Ross presents a new critical perspective on 3D that should be required reading for anyone in the field.' - Keith M. Johnston, University of East Anglia, UK

'With 3D Cinema Miriam Ross has finally written the book I've been waiting for someone to write for years! This is a masterfully written, thoughtful and thoroughly researched book that provides a rich account of shifts in perception and visuality. Rather than understanding 3D as a phenomenon specific to our digital times, Ross considers its connection to the complex media history of stereoscopic illusions that goes back 200 years. This book is a must read for any serious film and screen scholar!' - Angela Ndalianis, University of Melbourne, Australia

'Ross's trenchant book provides what the digital 3D era has long needed: neither hyperbolic justification nor predictable praise for stereoscopic cinema's few acknowledged masterpieces, but a sophisticated contribution to cinema aesthetics, in which 3D emerges as a third regime of screen entertainment, and one closely linked to contemporary fascination with bodily experience.' - Ian Christie, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK

“Recchi (Sciences Po, Paris) presents rigorous empirical research on the movement of Europeans across borders and the resulting integration trends of the 20-plus-year European Union (EU) project. … this is a timely contribution to the scholarship and policy of EU population mobility. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (A. H. Fabos, Choice, Vol. 53 (5), January, 2016)“The book is an important addition to the fields of EU studies and migration studies. It examines concepts of mobility and European citizenship in new ways with more cases. It will be useful for researchers interested in the political and sociological impact of an increasingly mobile Europe.” (Michael Johns, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (2), 2016)“The new book … is aimed at both social scientists and non-technical readers interested in questions related to free movement in Europe, the related policies and experiences of European movers. The book can also provide a valuable reading to experts interested in a broader picture of a borderless Europe. In addition to an interesting description of policies and theories, historical developments and examples of experiences from people’s lives, the book offers original analysis that is carefully interpreted and put into perspective.” (Mariola Pytliková, European Journal of Population, Vol. 32, 2016)

Grounded in a thorough familiarity with the texts and sounds of historical radio, and guided by the understanding that the reputedly conservative mid-century BBC was in fact a crucible of artistic experimentation, Hugh Chignell’s elegantly written, meticulously detailed, wide-ranging study sets a new standard for the study of British radio drama during its Golden Age. Chignell is fascinated by how radio drama at this time reveals 'how post-war and cold war Britain was experienced.'  Drama, Chignell shows, 'got it.'  From the theater of the mind to the theater of the absurd, and from Samuel Beckett to John Osborne, Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, Giles Cooper and a slew of long-forgotten other artists in sound, Chignell brings a nuanced attunement to the social, political, institutional, technological and literary contexts within which radio drama flourished, achieving artistic successes that represent canonical moments not only in its own medium, but also in twentieth-century British cultural life.
