"This book...shows how some very simple calculations can produce answers almost identical to those generated from full 3D finite element analyses. this book shows that engineers don't always need a lot of computer power to perform seismic analyses and the techniques described should be useful for any designers who need quick anwsers to what may appear to be very difficult analysis problems - The Structural Engineer."The advent of computerised structural analysis and, in particular, of finite element programs has opened up vast possibilities for a fundamental reappraisal of existing approximate methods, including a more accurate definition of their scope and limits. A number of new methods are proposed. Many numerical examples and comparisons with "accurate" methods are given" - Concrete International'...will be very useful for designers...a very good addition to the libraries of consulting engineers, engineering organisations, and academic institutions. ...useful book with excellent printing, illustrations, and binding.' - Journal of Structural Engineering

Approximate Methods in Structural Seismic Design

We have been please to use Corporate Social Responsibility as a recommended text on MBA and MSc modules at ICCSR for some years now. On the evidence of the 2nd edition, we will continue to do so with renewed enthusiasm. Professor Jeremy Moon FRSA, Director, International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ICCSR), Nottingham University Business School, UK
This is a terrific resource for those who want a thorough understanding of CSR. It will work in the classroom, and in the seminar room. It informs both researchers and practitioners.R. Edward Freeman, University Professor and Olsson Professor, The Darden School, University of Virginia, USA

Taking a global perspective on CSR is more urgent than ever. Crane, Matten and Spence invite the reader on such a global, practical and intellectual journey to understand CSR in a way that provides an excellent overview of some of the core concepts and, in particular, invite students to engage in key debates. What I appreciate most about this book is the three editors’ lengthy and carefully written introductions to each chapter where CSR is appreciated as a complex and non-resolved area in need of more reflective debate. 
Mette Morsing, Professor PhD, Copenhagen Busines School, Denmark

Crane, Matten and Spence have done a wonderful job with this textbook, given the comprehensive coverage, the analytical flair, the wealth of practical examples, all of which make knowledge of CSR both accessible and interesting. This is a useful reading for any student, academic, or practitioner who wishes to delve more into the fascinating world of CSR. 
Dima Jamali, Professor of Management and Sustainability, Olayan School of Business, American University of Beirut

Rosie O'Donnell As a kid who grew up thinking "Baby, baby, stick your head in gravy" was the national anthem, I really like how Alan Katz and David Catrow have written and illustrated such funny songs! Kids of all ages are gonna love the new lyrics to their old favorite tunes. It doesn't get any silly dillier than this!

"This is an important volume that provides a comprehensive overview of research on environmental security. Its coverage of the diverse theoretical and empirical approaches to environmental security is unique and very helpful, as is its systematic examination of key issues areas, including climate change, energy, food, gender, population, and water." Professor Jon Barnett, Department of Resource Management and Geography, The University of Melbourne, Australia.

"For decades a debate has raged over the nature of the links between environmental stress and various forms of security. Scholarship on the topic has now fragmented into many specialized subfields that rarely engage with each other. Environmental Security is a comprehensive, accessible, and current survey of this research landscape—an essential guide to a vitally important and enormously complex topic, for students and established researchers alike." Professor Thomas Homer-Dixon, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Waterloo, Canada.

"This anthology arrives at a critical time when pundits, policymakers and Western defense interests are increasingly linking climate change to security threats, especially in the Global South. What do past debates about environmental security have to teach us about present controversies? By presenting and analyzing a wide range of perspectives, Environmental Security is a valuable scholarly contribution, equally useful in the classroom and the policy arena." Betsy Hartmann, Professor of Development Studies and Director of the Population and Development Program, Hampshire College, USA. 

"This timely volume provides a critical and comprehensive overview of the growing field of environmental security studies. The rich collection discusses the pros and cons and bridges the deep divisions regarding the concepts of security, conflict and peacebuilding. The authors address the research gaps and analyse specific issues of water, food, population, gender and climate change." Jürgen Scheffran, Adjunct Associate Professor and Senior Research Scientist in the Program in Arms Control, Disarmament and International Security at the University of Illinois, USA.
"Surprisingly, this is the first multidisciplinary volume on the developing field of environmental security dealing with the interaction between economic development, population growth and resource management - of which the food security book reviewed below is an example." – David Lorimer, Network Review
