’... she fully succeeds in achieving her aim, which is to uncover some neglected works and place them in the context of early twentieth-century British music. Seddon is to be commended for focusing on several composers who have been overshadowed by the dominance of Smyth. Her highly detailed and well researched study of the Society of Women Musicians, for which she includes detailed appendices listing SWM members through 1920, a comprehensive list of instrumental chamber works composed by women between 1905 and 1920, as well as an excerpt from Katherine Eggar’s address for the society’s inaugural meeting, is substantial in breadth, and is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the institution’s history’.

British Women Composers and Instrumental Chamber Music in the Early Twentieth Century. Laura Seddon

Like many past entries into this field, Klimek trains his gaze on the scientific study of religious experience, in this case studies that have been done on the psychology and neuroscience of a small group of visionaries who have, for over thirty years, claimed to see daily apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the Balkan village of Medjugorje. What makes Klimek's book noteworthy - and ambitious - is his insistence that these studies both prove the authenticity (and
supernatural nature) of the events at Medjugorje, and provide a new framework for cooperation between science and religion.

“In what is a lively and engaging study, Harrebye explores key aspects of the phenomenon, maps the field through a rich theoretical overview, examines established and emerging forms of activist praxis, and reflects on the impact these practices may have on social change. … Harrebye not only guides the reader through, at times, difficult conceptual and philosophical content, he also presents an original framework that bridges and supplements traditional theories of social movements.” (Ian Reilly, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 10, 2016)

"This new expanded edition is a welcome update of Professor Macdonald's classic book introducing the principles and application of structural engineering to young architects and engineers. Using both historical and recent examples, with drawings and excellent photographs, he brings the subject alive and provides an invaluable resource. Best of all, he offers readers the material to develop a good understanding of the subject which will serve as a source of inspiration to all designers."
Bill Addis,author of Building: 3000 Years of Design Engineering and Construction
"Architecture and engineering are perfectly merged into one, both sensitive and sensible, subject in this splendid new edition of AngusMacdonald’s admirable Structureand Architecture. Superbly written and precisely pin-pointing the most crucial and essential issues regarding both structural science and structural form and space-making, the present book spans topics ranging from basic structural behaviour to sustainability questions and the history of engineering theory and development in architecture. AngusMacdonald explores this wide field with profound understanding – and genuine love." 
Bjørn Normann Sandaker,Professor of Architectural Technology, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design; Adjunct Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
"This well-illustrated, fully revised and extended third edition of AngusMacdonald's book should be obligatory reading for those interested in exploring the often complex relationship between structure and architecture. I was impressed by the new reflective chapters deliberating on the philosophy of structures, the influence of engineers on the development of Modern architecture and, in particular, that drawing attention to the significant contribution that appropriate selection of low embodied energy materials and efficient structural systems can make in minimising a structure’s impact on global climate change."

“This is an exceptional and important volume in which close readings of four major European writers daringly eradicate the border between commentary and literature. In precise analyses of particular texts, Frey works through and elucidates the various theories of writing, reading, representation, and memory. The complex line of argumentation is rendered with remarkable clarity, and one learns a great deal not only about the texts studied but also about literary theory in general.”—Carol Jacobs, State University of New York, Buffalo

Grounded in Foucault’s concept the field of experience, Vailly orchestrates a cacophony of voices - medical professionals, families, advocacy groups, and policy makers - that create a new moral space associated with quality life.’ Margaret Lock, McGill University, Montréal, Canada  ’This is not yet another book on genetics, either warning against the insidious geneticisation of society or celebrating the scientific prowess of genetics. It rather offers an exceptionally detailed account on what it entails to make genetics the locus of ordinary health policies, and a thoughtful reflection on what it is to have genes as political objects inhabiting our lives.’ Vololona Rabeharisoa, Mines-ParisTech, France

"A lucid, judicious and well documented study. Not only does it explain the limits of public diplomacy, it greatly enlightens the reader about the origins, evolution and tenacious manifestations of anti-Americanism in different parts of the world."—Paul Hollander, author of Anti-Americanism: Irrational and Rational and editor of Understanding Anti-Americanism: Its Origins and Impact at Home and Abroad
"Stephen Brooks has written a thoughtful, insightful and engaging analysis on the limits of American public diplomacy. Policy-makers in the White House and on Capitol Hill should pay close attention to his cautionary tale of how their efforts to employ this instrument of statecraft are often undermined by foreign influences beyond their control. This is an important book written by a distinguished scholar whose voice on these and related issues deserves to be heard. It is a study that will resonate with students of American foreign policy and international relations for years." —Donald E. Abelson, The University of Western Ontario
"Ever since the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, American leaders have tried to speak directly to foreign publics, past their governments. They’ve enjoyed quite uneven success in those endeavours — Stephen Brooks tackles the reasons why. Anyone interested in understanding why public diplomacy is so challenging needs to read this book."—Mark R. Brawley, McGill University

Baptized with the Soil is informative for those interested in contexts of American religious history. It provides clarity as to how previous generations of church leaders thought about the relationship of church to society, mostly the rural influence on the wider culture. Rural pastors might gain insight on what it is many of their older members are missing (like Rural Life Sunday) and why they feel it so important. Every generation of believers seeks to
reach others and influence culture; Christian agrarians were no different.
